Zhu Houxi is psychologically prepared: in his hands, he will do all the "bad things".

After Tang Shunzhi's "teasing", he found that his quality was still too high.

Before the official start of the Great Power Policy Conference, Zhu Houxi came to the Fengxian Palace.

Standing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait and the god, Zhu Houxi looked at them quietly.

What do I want?

It is the future of China.

It is the mountains and rivers that are eternal and not invaded. It is the people who live in peace and enjoy prosperity.

"Taizu is above, I'm afraid that I will also laugh at my indecision, right?"

Zhu Houxi smiled.

Even in the modern era, hundreds of years later, in the face of superpowers, the rest of the small countries can only bow their heads and bow their eyebrows. You said that everyone should develop together, but people feel that you are not down-to-earth and think that you are just talking.

Class has always existed, respect and humility have never disappeared, and the hidden ideal in Zhu Houxi's heart is only on the road of difficult exploration hundreds of years later.

Now, he is just one of the largest agricultural capitalists and the monarch of the most powerful empire on the planet.

"The ancestors and the ancestors are on top, and the merits and demerits are right and wrong, and the descendants will comment on them."

Zhu Houxi saluted and turned to the National Policy Palace.

Naturally, things can't go as smoothly as Tang Shunzhi said.

In the Ming Dynasty, there is oppression of their own people, how can there be no foreign domains?

If they really want to eradicate the most powerful group of people over there, how can they not hide in the mountains and forests to resist guerrillas?

Once this step begins, the investment in conquest and public security will be a long-term blood pump.

But Tang Shunzhi is right about one thing.

There are some things that Zhu Houxi does not do himself, and he cannot expect his descendants to have the ambition and ability to do it in the future.

He preached kindness and morality to his neighbors, and the Western powers would probably still develop in the future. They came from the west, from the east, but they would not be merciful to these neighbors around the Ming Dynasty.

Times are changing, and the so-called Great Wall of land and sea, if there is no heavy army to guard and recruit handy, it is nothing more than a fictitious existence.

It's just that the territory is too vast, and you can't really just draw the blood of the Ming Dynasty.

Let them make their own blood, and they must really become the brother allies of the Ming Dynasty, and they must do a good job of top-level design in today's era.

Outside the national policy hall, there are many ministers.

The great power policy meeting naturally has to talk about some etiquette, the emperor ascends to sit, the ministers see His Majesty, and then enter the palace, take a seat, and discuss matters.

Today it is still Zhang Bi who presides, and by the time he arrives next month, he will step down.

"The Great Power Policy Council should have ninety-one members, except for the Prime Minister River Yamen......"

Zhang Bi reported to the emperor some of the absentees.

In a normal national focus meeting, the number of people is only half of the number. However, the total number of people in the Great Power Policy Conference, the governors of the provinces, the political envoys of the Zuobu, and some other newly established key departments was much larger.

At this moment, what is sitting in the national policy hall is the absolute power core of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Bi only presided over the process, and it was naturally the emperor who really led the process of the meeting.

"This year's major policy conference is different from the past." Zhu Houxi stood on the throne and looked around at the ministers, "Taishi Gong edited the annals, since the first year of the Republic of China, there has been a history of letters every year, and this year is the two thousand three hundred and eighty-one. It has been 173 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been more than 20 years since the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, I have a great cause in my heart for decades, and it is time for the monarch and ministers to discuss it. ”

Everyone knows in their hearts that His Majesty wants to say the four words "the world is the same".

"Previously, the longest-reigning emperor was Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, who had been for fifty-four years. Today, the foreign people call our Chinese people Han Min, and cover the merits of the Han Dynasty and the world. Since the Han and Tang dynasties, China's territory has changed from generation to generation, and its national strength has continued to rise and fall. However, looking through the annals of history, there is no dynasty for thousands of generations, why not? I don't know what the country is, I only know who the country is. ”

Before Kangqian, the longest-reigning emperor was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was emperor for fifty-four years, but he really took full power after the death of the Empress Dowager Dou for more than six years on the throne.

In this way, Zhu Houxi's "remaining time" is not much.

Yang Shen was very serious, and he didn't know why the emperor wanted to mention Emperor Wu of Han. The emperor, who left his name in history with his martial arts, suffocated the treasury of the Han Dynasty every day, which made Yang Shen feel bad.

Although he was already discussing his own use of the knife against Japan, wasn't the purpose of the comprehensive use of foreign vassals to fight and use them at the same time?

Zhu Houxi continued to elaborate on his main purpose: "Whoever has the country, there are only monarchs and ministers. When it comes to the people, they are also accustomed to regard it as the power of the people. Recuperation is to accumulate people's strength. If there are no internal and external troubles, they will support the monarch and ministers with the power of the people. If there are internal and external troubles, they will use the people's strength to quell the chaos and resist the enemy. I think that because of this, there has never been a stable dynasty, and the country has been overturned repeatedly, and Shenzhou has sunk several times. But if you really want to talk about the kingdom, it is different. ”

The two companions of the imperial study were also present, and Hu Zongxian and Shen Lian recorded their own records.

This is not only a living note, but also a summary of the minutes of the major policy meeting.

"The country, the territory, the people, and the regime. A stable country is the people who live on a territory and who support and trust the government to protect their peace and stability. The will of the people of a country is the solid foundation of political power. The monarch won the hearts of the people, appointed authority, and appointed hundreds of officials to assist him, and this power was only a corner of the country. Only one corner, top-heavy, no worries about overturning? ”

Zhu Houxi paused, and then said solemnly: "Now, the name of the country is Daming, what about the name of the country?" I think that we should state the gist, so that the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, the monarchs and the people, all know what the country is. Where did this nation come from, and why did it come about? China originated from ancient times, and should have the name of China, which is a surname. The founding of the country is to defend the land and the people, and there should be the word people. I have a heavenly constitution in my mouth, this heavenly constitution is granted from the way of heaven, the end of the avenue of heavenly reason is also the end of the avenue of human reason, and the constitution of the people is the constitution of heaven! I am in charge of the political power, and only by aiming for the great harmony of the world can we achieve the longevity of the country. ”

"Just as people have a surname, a name, a character, and a number. Today's edict to the secretary and so on, next year's edict to the world, the Chinese surname is called China, the name is the people, the word is the emperor's constitution, known as the Ming Dynasty, and then the national letter, with the Chinese people's emperor constitution Daming country as the full name, referred to as China. Knowing the people, we know where the authority of the monarch and the minister comes from, who the monarch and minister govern for, and what the goal is. What do you think? ”

“…… Good. ”

"No!"

"Your Majesty Shengming ......"

When it was noisy, different people responded with different moods and different tones, expressing their attitudes.

Some people feel awkward, but some people can figure out the deep meaning behind it.

All dynasties have had country names, but now they officially name the country, and also emphasize the surname, first name, and table characters, which seems to be child's play, but it puts some shackles on the emperor and the ministers, emphasizing historical responsibility, lofty goals, and building the country for the people.

Zhu Houxi nodded: "As everyone knows, this time the Great Power Policy Conference, I want to gather the wisdom of the Secretary and others, the constitution of the country, and the monarch and the ministers will abide by it." I have chosen this name, and that is my opinion. The emperor abides by the constitution, can stabilize the regime, be supported, and have long-term aspirations. The ministers abide by the constitution, and they can keep their wealth, develop their ambitions, and enjoy respect. All the people abide by the constitution, they can understand the law and discipline, know what to do, and live in peace. This constitution let the monarchs and the people know where China came from and where it is going. ”

"The old have their ends, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, and the widows, widows, loneliness, and the sick are all supported. How many years has the world been the same? How to get there? If they can walk over, or just let the people of the world know that the monarch and ministers are taking them there, the people's hearts will be stable and the power will not be lost. In the constitution, the monarch and the ministers have to negotiate something real. In the future, it will not be because of the traitorous ministers who have ruined the road of the world for the public, and the long-term policies that improve the people's livelihood, unite the people's hearts, and stabilize the country. ”

Listening to the emperor clearly say the bad things about the traitorous ministers, everyone finally felt that the emperor was real.

It is not a joke that the monarch and the people abide by it.

The emperor has really been like a day for twenty years, and he has taken the monarchs and ministers and the future monarchs and ministers to roll up together......

Zhu Houxi pointed at them: "It has been 20 years since the establishment of the National Policy Conference, and the Prime Minister and Minister of State have served five terms. The constitution stipulates that the Chinese political system, in which the Chinese political system must not be reversed, is the system of the national policy meeting and the ministers to discuss the national policy. The virtuous minister has his position, the good fortune of this country, and the good fortune of the king. ”

"I have set up a treasury, and there is a quota for the royal family. I have appointed the Prime Minister and the Minister of State, so that the affairs of the state can lead the affairs of the state. Although I am a holy judge, I rarely insist on doing things that are discussed and recommended by the public. We delegate power because the process of joint deliberation is conducive to building consensus, the results of joint deliberation are mostly stable, and the process of joint promotion is conducive to the elimination of traitors and the joint promotion of candidates is generally in line with public expectations. However, when I relinquished my power, I naturally hoped that it would be used properly and in the interests of the country. ”

After a pause, he said slowly: "Fighting for power and profit is naturally inevitable, and it is not impossible. Everyone has selfish intentions and does not need to be shunned. But there are pros and cons to everything, gains and losses. Fighting, energetic, helps to select better results. Just fight, then go back to the old way. Therefore, I want to create the Great Harmony Party of the World. Fight for power, fight within the party, and abide by party discipline; In the process of fighting, dereliction of state duties and harm to state affairs, that is, the major right and wrong are not clear. ”

The state hall was quiet, and some of the people who were only qualified to come to the Great Power Policy Conference this year felt the emperor's straightforwardness.

But even for some old ministers, the emperor's straightforwardness today is very powerful.

And after listening to so much, they finally understood the general framework of the emperor.

"The purpose of the Datong Party is higher than the Constitution! Within the Datong Party, we stress ambition, morality, discipline, and ability. In the party, if these things are explained well, they are all people who are on the road of the world for the public. Whether it is to serve in the government, or to develop an enterprise, or to promote culture, education, and culture, it is all to make contributions to the country. ”

Zhu Houxi said something that he was very familiar with, but they might be unfamiliar with, and finally said: "In the past, the Son of Heaven relied on the wisdom of the gentry to select hundreds of officials to govern the world. In the future, the Son of Heaven will lead the world to aspire to the same party of Datong, and party members will be all over the government and all walks of life, and they will go down this road together. ”

At this point, it is clear what constitution he wants to make, what party he wants to create, and what purpose he wants to make.

The emperor has millions or tens of millions of comrades, and officials under the government system are only part of his vision.

The constitution will bind the king, the subjects and the people, and that is the lower limit that cannot be broken.

The party program is to unite common aspirations, which is the upper limit of what is hoped to be achieved.

But there is no doubt that if you can't become a "fellow party" recognized by the emperor, then don't think about what position you can hold in the government and how high you can climb.

At the same time, in the ensuing discussion, Zhu Houxi also conveyed another layer of his intention: the constitution and laws cannot be violated, but no one is at fault? If there are some extenuating mistakes and omissions, there is still room for tolerance and correction, and this will be punished within the party. But if the problem is so big that it violates the purpose of the party program, then no one can save it.

There is more leeway, and some clear lines are drawn.

In the end, the emperor himself did not shy away from selfishness, and naturally he still had to talk about their benefits. In addition to the benefits of fame and status, there are also some material benefits, how to meet them?

Money, treatment, and network realization, that is needless to say.

Zhu Houxi looked at Tang Shunzhi, and then opened his mouth: "There is one thing that needs no need to be argued about now: wealth can be created. More territory and more people mean more wealth. In addition to benefiting the people of the Ming Dynasty and stabilizing the regime, we should also benefit more people of foreign domains. As long as you get the law, the world is vast, why not enjoy the wealth of the world? ”

"The constitution, the purpose of the party's program, and the establishment of the future system and conventions of the countries are the three most important things in this major policy conference." Zhu Houxi said undoubtedly, "Since the Ming Dynasty has a new system, and the foreign vassals are still changing their orders and dying, how can we protect the interests of China's stability?" ”

The standards that Daming will introduce are not only some objective and scientific and technological standards, but also rational and institutional standards.

It can be said that this is a kind of institutional output, but no one can deny that it is a way to protect their own interests.

As for whether it will bring backlash...... Zhu Houxi has let go of these worries.

This is a controversy that he does not see the final result in his memory, which is beyond his ability, and this is a real problem that needs to be left to future generations to solve.

And in this 24th century, which he redefined, all this is not a problem for the time being.

In the era when the vast majority of places were still stuck in the real feudal system and even slavery and primitive society, Zhu Houxi set out to clarify a more advanced system that was more conducive to the further emancipation of the productive forces after 20 years of imperial control and the initial results of paying attention to science and technology and the improvement of productive forces.

Isn't it progress to promote a more advanced system?

It's just that at present, in order to promote it and protect the interests of the Ming Dynasty, it is also necessary to do some appropriate transformation, and there is a relatively smooth transition.

That is, it is still necessary to have a monarch in every place, who is familiar to the people there, and who is a monarch who is trusted by the Ming Dynasty.

The Great Power Policy Conference will continue to be held in secrecy for the time being, but the national strength accumulated by the Ming Dynasty for many years, and many people with different identities will eventually be clamoured.

Not only Zhu Houxi's own children, but also the various feudal domains in the clan may also have a chance - there are too many foreign feudal domains around the Ming Dynasty that can be divided.

And how will the merchants and gentry who have tasted the sweetness of the relaxation of the ban on business for the first time be restless?

Xia Yan and Tang Shunzhi chatted privately for a long time, and they knew better how much dividends this would bring to the Ming generals - although it was not in the Ming Dynasty, how could there be a set of lord system in every foreign domain?

There are many places to design, and there are many places to prepare in advance.

The people of the Ming Dynasty still don't understand how different the world will be.

The first thing they know is just the simplest thing.

During the Spring Festival of the 20th year of Jiajing, the first issue of "Ming Pao" was published all over the world this year, and the emperor published a New Year's message in it as usual.

People only know that the country they live in has an official name: the Chinese People's Emperor and the Ming Dynasty.

And His Majesty issued an edict to the world: From this year, the name of the year will be abolished, and it will be called 2382 A.D.

Some people suddenly feel that they are not good at studying.

At the same time, during this Chinese New Year, many well-informed people began to talk about something.

It is necessary to find a qualified recommender as soon as possible, write a recommendation letter, and prepare to join the party.

This is His Majesty's comrade!

Although the beginning of spring has arrived, the spring cold is still expected.

Next month is the exam, and the impetuous lifters who were made impetuous by last year's continuous excitement finally have to start to calm down and prepare for the exam.

In the palace, Zhu Houxi invited all the vassals to the banquet, and the princes were also there.

Looking at the vassal kings, he said calmly: "Taizu has conquered the country, and now I have to prepare a greater foundation. Beginning this year, I will compare the princes of the feudal clans. In other words, those who have both ability and political integrity and understand the righteousness will have the opportunity to divide the kingdoms as the masters in the future. ”

The words were astonishing, and the vassal kings were stunned.

Can such a good thing still fall on their branches?

Zhu Houxi settled down on this heart, and then he felt that his sons were still a little less, and they were all younger.

If it's not enough, then you have to live.

It's still not enough, there are also kings with different surnames in the clan, who have made great contributions, so what's not to do?

The vassal kings were very excited, and although it was only early spring, the harem was full of spring and flooded for a while.
