Song Qinzong and Zhao Huan also trusted Cao Sheng, the master of the horse, even more, so the matter was settled.

Immediately, the imperial court issued three holy decrees in succession: first, let Cao Sheng quickly lead troops into Beijing;

the second is to order Zhang Shuye to immediately give up resistance and return to Beijing to accept the guilt; The third is to let Zong Ze "recruit" some more Sichuan beauties along the way, and present them to the Jin people to promote the friendship between Song and Jin.

This was originally an extremely humiliating thing, but after the embellishment of Confucian scholars and the propaganda of Bianjing Jimin Daily, it became the way of a saint who convinces people with virtue and the demeanor of a great country.

Zhao Huan, Cai Jing and Tong Guan were directly boasted by Confucianism as extremely wise and important ministers of the Yanxia Holy Monarch who focused on the overall situation.

bluntly said that after the Jin people came to Bianjing, they would give each international friend two beauties of the Great Song Dynasty as maids, so as to demonstrate the great mind and bearing of the monarch and ministers of the Yan Xia.

In addition, in order to increase his international influence, Kong Jue also proposed to restore the old system and recruit foreign students on a large scale.

Anyone who came to the Great Song Dynasty to learn Confucianism, regardless of whether their skin was black or white, gave two Qilu beauties as accompanying maids, so as to carry forward the beautiful character of Confucian monarchs and ministers caring for their neighbors forever.

Zhang Shuye, Wang Sunchen and other loyal ministers and righteous people who guarded the people and resisted the invasion of the Jin people became Confucian scholars who criticized the rebellious ministers and thieves, and invited unscrupulous people to buy the hearts of the people.

At the same time, Cai Jing, Kong Jue and others also tried to force Jiang Chen to show up as soon as possible through various shameless means, such as poisoning Zhang Yueniang and her son, wantonly slaughtering the people of Yuqing Villa, and spreading the news everywhere in an attempt to make Jiang Chen voluntarily submit.

But they didn't know that Zhang Yueniang in the palace was just a substitute for the dead man, a suffering woman rescued by Jiang Chen and others from the Kong family, and her nominal son was the grandson of the former Yansheng Gong Kong Duanyou, and Kong Jue's own nephew.

What Cai Jing and Kong Jue didn't expect was that Jiang Chen was swaggering at the moment sitting in Dongping Mansion with Zhang Shuye, Wang Sunchen and others.

"Liangchen, now that Cai Jing and Tong Guan have betrayed the country and the people, it has been revealed, and the court officials led by Kong Jue have secretly communicated with the Jin people to withdraw money in private, we can't wait any longer.

Let's send troops to Qingjun's side immediately! Otherwise, my Great Song Dynasty will be ruined by those brutes!"

Zhang Shuye said with a gloomy and urgent face.

"Qingjun's side? And then what? Let Zhao Huan continue to be the emperor? Or do you want to create a new king? Where do you and I go from here?"

Jiang Chen asked lightly.

"This ......"

Zhang Shuye was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to think about this problem, but he had to think about it, because the result was obvious, no matter who became the emperor in the end, the fate of him and Jiang Chen would not be better.

Wang Sunchen said with a smile on the side: "Liangchen, the official family has long intended to appoint King Yun as the crown prince before his death. King Yun has always been firmly on the side of Limen, and he has always respected you.

If you make him the new emperor, he will never treat you badly! What you feared will never happen! I'm willing to vouch for you with my life!"

"Not necessarily! I've always liked to take my destiny into my own hands!"

Jiang Chen directly shook his head and refused: "Now that it's over, there's no need for me to continue to hide it from you!" I have decided to overthrow the inherent feudal rule and establish a free and democratic constitutional monarchy in accordance with the last wishes of the officials."

As Jiang Chen spoke, he took out the regulations of the state system that had been prepared long ago and handed them to the two of them.

"A liberal and democratic constitutional monarchy?"

"You, what do you mean by that?"

Do you want to be emperor yourself?

Zhang Shuye and Wang Sunchen were shocked, and after subconsciously taking a look at Hua Rong and Liu Yuancheng and others, they picked up the thick document and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, both of them were in a relaxed mood, and looked at Jiang Chen with complicated eyes and said, "If you can really do what you wrote, then it will be the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty and the blessing of all the people!"

I'm sure King Yun will be willing to accept it!"

"No! You're mistaken!"

Jiang Chen smiled and waved his hand: "I am ready to elect the Empress Saint as the first Empress of the Great Song Dynasty!" In the future, the Great Song Dynasty will only have a female emperor and no male emperor!"

"What?

How can this be?"

"Although the Queen Sage is noble, she is not surnamed Zhao after all! This, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Wang Sunsin objected at the first time.

Zhang Shuye also looked at Jiang Chen with a strange expression: "Liangchen, your proposal is indeed unacceptable! I'm afraid that no one will agree with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!"

"Don't be afraid! Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all remnants of Confucianism, and they will all be killed!"

Jiang Chen's tone was light, and he looked at the two of them and the few leaders who were stunned on the side and said, "Although the future empress can enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, to put it mildly, it is just a mascot of my Great Song Dynasty.

If it is a man, it will not only be expensive to expand the harem, but it will also be easier to breed ambitions, form a wide range of party members, and create civil strife. So I thought about it again and again, it must be a woman!

If you think Empress Zheng is not suitable, then choose one of her daughters! But in any case, it must not be a man!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at everyone, "This is the common will of my entire sect!"

Hmm-

That is, there is no need to talk about it?

Wang Sunchen looked unhappy!

The corners of Zhang Shuye's mouth twitched wildly, and he asked, "Those many royal men, how do you plan to arrange them?"

"Over the past two years, the Jimin Army has occupied countless vast and fertile lands overseas!

Men of the royal family can choose to live in Nanjing, or they can choose to go overseas to be a prince and a lord! As long as they keep to themselves, I will keep them prosperous and prosperous for the rest of their lives!"

As Jiang Chen spoke, his tone was unquestionable: "As for the national society, it has nothing to do with them in the future, and it will all be handed over to the Congress!"

"Doesn't that mean it's up to you?"

"What's the difference between being emperor yourself?"

Wang Sunchen asked with a dark face.

"I never wanted to be an emperor!"

Jiang Chen looked disdainful and said, "In the future, all the officials of the state capitals will be elected by the people, just like Jiangnan. The imperial court only had the right to supervise local officials, but it did not have the right to appoint and dismiss them.

The Imperial Diet was also ordinary, first elected every five years, and then gradually reduced to three years.

I will be the first president, but who will serve in five years will have to be decided by the people, in short, except for the women of the Zhao family in the future, the rest will not be emperors! Otherwise, the whole world will punish him!"

"If that's the case, I don't think it's unacceptable."

Zhang Shuye saw that Jiang Chen really didn't have the idea of being the emperor himself, so he compromised directly, after all, his Zhang family and Jiang Chen have always been a community of interests.

And he knows very well that the self-reliant Jiangnan has actually been controlled by Jiang Chen for a long time. Even if Jiang Chen really wants to rebel, I'm afraid that no one can stop him now.

Wang Sunchen also knew this, and said with displeasure: "If Lord Jiang has a way to make everyone agree, my Wang family naturally has no reason to object!"
