Chapter 42 Constitution of Congress

The country will be changed to Congress.

Every five years. It coincides with the term of office of the first assistant. Each new chief assistant takes office. The resignation of the old chief assistant, or re-election, must be carried out in the National Assembly.

At the same time, a series of major issues during the term of office of the first assistant will be discussed and voted on.

If the Parliamentarian does not agree with the candidate, he can also file for impeachment, and the first assistant needs to be questioned in the National Assembly.

However, the power to appoint the first assistant is still in the emperor. There is no doubt about this, of course, if the emperor trusts the parliament, he can also change the head of the auxiliary. This is the power of the emperor.

It's just a power game. Never above the charter.

He Xi knows this.

When the National Assembly is in session, members have access to almost all state archives. Enjoy the treatment of a seven-grade official. And even if they are guilty, they must be removed from the council. to be able to go to prison. Wait a minute.

For these, the participants were already clear. After all, many things have already been expressed at the Dingguo meeting.

The most important thing is how to elect the legislators?

That's what everyone cares about.

The final proposal was, first, knighthood. All the world. Earl and above, naturally have the status of a councilor.

After all, He Xi has reformed the title system, and there are probably thousands of people with titles. If there are no restrictions, such a congress will not be opened.

Second, it is a member of the second rank or above who automatically has the status of a member of parliament.

This is also inevitable.

Here in He Xi, the essence of Congress is united front. The prestige and influential people of the Ming Dynasty will be a dynamic group, a force outside the Ming court system. Envelop into your hands.

Xungui is the main body of the army, and no one can ignore the voice of the army. At the same time, the voices of civil officials and bigwigs cannot be ignored.

More importantly, it is to give a place for the first assistant university scholar.

However, there is one situation that needs to be noted. The fact that these people may not be able to participate in the meeting.

Without him, when the civil officials really retire, they must be seventy or eighty. Where is that energy to have a meeting.

Third, there are local councillors.

Each province elects one. There are more than 300 of them, of course. This number will increase, and there will be one for each overseas vassal state, and in principle, it will be appointed by the king of each country.

The regulations in this regard are more detailed.

The prefectural magistrate must first organize a local meeting to elect the county's representatives. If the prefectural order is strong, then the prefectural order is specified, and if the prefectural order is not. Then weigh the pros and cons of the leading figures.

Then go over the provincial level and go directly to the provincial level.

Parliaments are established at the provincial level. Representatives of each prefecture met in the province, elected representatives of each prefecture, and went to Beijing for the meeting.

Such a meeting is, in principle, one year before the National Assembly convenes. Of course, when the representatives of the provincial council meet in the province, they also enjoy some treatment, and at the same time, they can also put forward opinions to the province, speak on behalf of the local government, and so on.

In He Xi's prediction, there will be three levels of councils in the future, county, province, state, and three-level.

On the one hand, the reason for ignoring the government is that there are too many layers. In addition, on the one hand, I also want to blur the level of the government. Strengthen the power at the provincial level.

Local councillors serve only one term, and they are re-elected before each meeting.

Fourth, it is the imperial concession.

That is, the councillors specially appointed by the emperor, which is the power of the emperor himself.

This time the country was in the middle of the meeting, because of the Civil War. The number of civilian officials and nobles in the army is obviously insufficient. Without him, Beijing's civil service system is actually very young, and the biggest boss is He Xi. And the civil service system in Nanjing was almost cleaned up by Ding Xian. Even if some stayed, these people didn't dare to act as bosses.

Therefore, it is mainly based on local heroes.

But in the future, it will be clear that this will not be the case.

But as a result, the number of people in Congress has increased dramatically.

This is also a small secret discovered by He Xi. That is, the more people, the easier it seems

Control. The larger the number of people, the insignificance of each person's individual opinion becomes.

As the organizer of the meeting, it is easier for He Xi to use various regulations and means to ensure that the outcome of the topic is what he wants.

Perhaps this is the secret of democracy.

Therefore, He Xi decided to expand the number of people in the meeting.

Of course, a resolution was also passed to build a conference venue in Nanjing. It should be able to accommodate more than 1,000 people in a meeting. This is actually a difficult subject. After all, in the absence of amplification facilities, it is not easy to think about the large venue of more than 1,000 people, so that the sound can reach everyone's ears.

This project is also a major challenge for construction projects.

At the same time, He Xi decided to set up a permanent establishment. That is, the Office of Congress.

Directly responsible for the determination of the identity of the councillor. Succession, leading the parliament below, and in charge of the biennial congressional organization.

This matter is naturally the responsibility of the King of Shu.

I won't say much about the other details.

It can only be said that after the announcement of these charters, it was a few years of joy and sorrow.

The whole of Congress is divided into two parts, that is, those who are replaced, and those who are not. Although the meeting was held in one venue, the warp and weft were clearly distinguished. It takes time to produce civilian veterans. Now the impact is not huge.

For the nobles, it is a great benefit. The biggest benefit is not those princes, but the counts and marquis below.

Without him, for the princes, they already have the right to participate in politics and make suggestions to the imperial court. As long as it is not a hairy boy who has just inherited the title, when the imperial court makes major military decisions, it will generally send someone to ask. Or order them to have an opinion on something.

The status of a member of Congress is just the icing on the cake for them. But for a family of idle aristocrats, it is a great thing.

Although many counts have titles, if the relationship between the army is broken, in fact, not many people can afford it. After all, people have already gone to tea and cooled. Power is not a matter of whoever is in a big position has great power, and whoever has a high title has great power. That depends on the situation.

This is no longer the case. As long as he is a count, he is a member of parliament, and at least one power is guaranteed. That is the power to sue.

In a hurry, at the Congress, sue a certain official, it is estimated that this official must go to the Congress to explain to the upper and lower levels, and if he does not die, he will shed his skin.

Moreover, the status of a civil official cannot be inherited. However, the status of a noble member of parliament can be inherited. In this way, Xungui immediately became a special existence of the Ming Dynasty.

It is also of great benefit to stabilizing the morale of the military.

In this way, this meeting is finally over.

People from all over the country have also begun to leave Beijing one after another.

When King Yan left Nanjing, He Xi also went to send it. It's just that I didn't know at the time that this was the last time King Yan and He Xi met. It was also the last time King Yan came to Nanjing.

Since then, the relationship between King Yan and the center has been determined, although there are not no dirty things between each other, but they are suppressed to a certain extent. And King Yan also determined the strategy of going west and then going west.

There is no fundamental conflict of interest between the parties. So the contradiction can be suppressed.

In the life of King Yan, there is no problem. It's just that after King Yan, it's not easy to say.

Lu Zhongheng did not leave Nanjing.

Although Lu Zhongheng achieved his goal and determined the overseas fiefdom of the hero with a different surname. And Lu Zhongheng also gave an overseas fief with his old age. Just north of the Malacca Peninsula.

It is not far from Xinzhou, that is to say, the Lu family seems to have given up Xinzhou, but it is still the low-headed snake of Xinzhou.

This decision was made by Zhu Xiongying. It was recognized by He Xi.

And the reason why He Xi recognized it was not because of what Lu Zhongheng did, but because of Lu Zhongheng's body.

Talent is the number one factor in the prosperity of a family.

Lu Zhongheng is here, his Lu family is a concept, Lu Zhongheng is dead. His Lu family is another concept, and Lu Xian is a concubine

Horses, abilities and wrists, in fact, are good.

It is not necessary to come to the cabinet to be a university scholar.

Zhu Yuanzhang's vision of choosing a son-in-law may not be very good. But it didn't go anywhere.

But whatever? Lu Xian can never be compared to his father.

And Lu Zhongheng's body was not good in the first place, and he came all the way to Nanjing for a meeting, and all kinds of intrigues and intrigues were very draining. The meeting is not over yet. Lu Zhongheng's body can't support it.

Fortunately, Nanjing's medical resources are the most abundant in the world. In this regard, even Beijing cannot compare.

The doctors of Nanjing Tai Hospital consulted with Lu Zhongheng and came to the conclusion that Lu Zhongheng needed to recuperate. He recuperated well and was treated in Nanjing, so that he could live a few more years. But when you go back to Nanyang, just wait to collect the body.

Not to mention, Lu Zhongheng himself is more adapted to the climate of the Central Plains. Medical conditions alone are not enough.

Nanjing's medical resources began to accumulate little by little more than ten years ago, although Dai Shenyi is now immortal. But the disciples and grandchildren of Dai Shen Doctor are still there, and some of their methods are no less than Dai Shen Doctor, which can be regarded as the true inheritance of Dai Shen Doctor.

After all, doctors are very experienced. Maybe when the apprentices and grandchildren of Dai Shenyi reach the age of Dai Shenyi, there will be a few characters who are better than the blue. But now, there is none.

It is impossible for these doctors to follow Lu Zhongheng to Nanyang. After all, Nanjing's dignitaries also need them. Besides, this is not just a doctor's problem, over the years, the hospital has also put a lot of effort into creating medical devices and extracting new drugs.

There are a lot of new gadgets that are impossible to bring to Nanyang.

So in the future, Lu Zhongheng can only stay in Nanjing. Even the people in Tai Hospital hinted that even if Lu Zhongheng stayed in Nanjing for treatment. But it's also a matter of delay. As for how much it can be delayed, it depends on the will of God. Lu Zhongheng himself already knew that he had already begun to look for a cemetery near the Ming Tomb.

In this case, it is natural to let go of the Lu family. The peak of the Lu family has passed.
