"The trigger conditions are naturally very harsh, and they must be at a critical juncture for the country, and the specific rules can be negotiated first and clearly stipulated."

Liu Zhi had thought about these contents thousands of times, and naturally had a rough charter.

"As for supervision, it can be done jointly by the Imperial History Academy and the Military Aircraft Office, and I can add another position in the clan to jointly participate in the overseer's duties."

Xun Shuang listened and pondered, "May I ask Your Majesty, how should military power be used in an emergency?" ”

Military power determines the regime, and it is also the key to turbulent times, and no matter how perfectly the various policies are arranged in front, once the military power is sidelined, everything will become empty talk and meaningless.

"Until the crisis is resolved, no one has the right to mobilize the border army, the Yulin army, the tiger army, the imperial guard and the dragon guard, and must be commanded by the emperor himself."

These measures were all aimed at ensuring the stability of the imperial power and the country, but there were still many forces that could decide the outcome of the war.

"If the emperor is unable to give orders, the transfer of soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi Province must be jointly signed by the five parties of the clan, the secretary of the province, the jungshu province, the military department, and the military machine."

Regarding this point, Liu Zhi has already thought about it, if these five parties all support the same person to ascend the throne, then what is there to be verbose.

"As for the ruling Jinwu, except for the security of the capital, he can't participate in anything, and the soldiers and horses of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion are the same, they must ensure their own work, and they can't participate in any form of coup."

The last incident gave him a lot of lessons, the capital troops are too chaotic and complicated, and the responsibilities are unclear, which is a big hidden danger, which must be solved in advance and institutionalized.

"Zhijinwu and the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion can supervise each other, and no private soldiers in the capital can participate in political actions, otherwise there will be no forgiveness."

Although the last coup d'état mainly relied on private soldiers and students, this trend cannot be long-lasting, and if left unchecked, it can definitely overthrow the imperial power in the future.

Xun Shuang nodded frequently, "Your Majesty is very thoughtful, it should be well thought out, Rong Chen will think about it again before replying." ”

This reform is different from the previous ones, and it must be approved by the whole court, otherwise it will not be carried out smoothly.

Especially those ministers that Liu Zhi values, Liu Zhi has high hopes, but he has made up his mind, and once someone resolutely opposes it, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.

After sending Xun Shuang away, Liu Zhi summoned the crown prince Liu Jin again.

Since going to the Qingzhou disaster area, this child has become more and more mature, if it weren't for his lack of stature, his childish appearance has not been taken off, just looking at his style, he looks like an adult.

Liu Zhi first asked about the situation in the last few days, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked:

"Jin'er hates your eldest brother?"

The question came so abruptly that it didn't give him time to think, just to hear what he really thought.

"In fact, he can't be completely blamed for the eldest brother's matter, and now that he has been punished, he can't talk about hatred or not."

Liu Zhi nodded, "Do you think my punishment is too light?" ”

Liu Jin shook his head, "Cannibalism is an unkind act, and the eldest brother is just a ghost for a while, as long as it is strictly controlled in the future, there is no need to be put to death." ”

also knows that he will be strictly disciplined in the future, it can be seen that he will not be blindly benevolent, Liu Zhi is actually not worried about anything else, this child is kind-hearted and grew up in the peaceful period.

His concern was that he was too kind of a woman and not vigorous enough.

"Love is deep, responsibility is keen, Liu Wei must bear the corresponding price if he makes a mistake, and he cannot be easily tolerated.

Remember, no matter how many years have passed, he must not be allowed to return to power, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”

The matter of Liu Garlic, the king of Qinghe, was a lesson, Liu Zhi was kind to him and did his duty, he thought he would be grateful to Dade, but who knew that he was in exchange for rebellion.

Once a person's ambition swells up, it is like a weed, even if it is burned out by fire, when it encounters the right conditions, it will be blown and reborn in the spring breeze, and it cannot be easily extinguished.

Liu Jin saw that his father was solemn, and immediately replied: "Follow my father's teachings." ”

"That's very good, what do you think about what happened last time?"

He hoped that this reform could be approved by the crown prince Liu Jin, otherwise, when he took the throne, the rules would be changed in minutes.

Liu Jin sat down and thought carefully before saying, "I think the imperial court should have a system to temporarily take over power when the emperor is unable to give orders." ”

"Oh? Why do you think so, aren't you afraid that this acting person will take the opportunity to seek power and usurp the throne? ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Jin already had a lot of ideas at a young age, Liu Zhi was happy in his heart, but he continued to test quietly.

"I tried to read history books, whether it was a minister or several ministers, in fact, the results were almost the same, and it would only promote the expansion of ambitions.

Therefore, I believe that it should not be directly handed over to the minister or the clan to take over, but should be handed over to a few institutions to jointly govern. ”

Sure enough, he is worthy of being his optimistic successor, and his ideas coincide with him, which seems to have something to do with the various ideas he once instilled.

"I've heard of a parliamentary system, but it fits your mind a bit."

Then Liu Zhi explained the core content of the dual monarchy to Liu Jin in detail.

Liu Jin's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Father's idea is really wonderful, at first glance it sounds very similar to the system of the Roman State, but when you listen carefully, it is not true. ”

Due to the frequent exchanges between ancient Rome and the Han Dynasty, the Han side also knew their national system very well.

In fact, most Han Chinese were dismissive of the ancient Roman system, believing that it was too liberal and loose, and that there were too many restrictions on the Führer, which did not conform to the main purpose of feudal thought.

The dual monarchy perfectly solves this shortcoming, so it is more acceptable.

When Liu Zhichu was in charge of the government, he did everything himself, soaking in the Zhongde Hall day and night, and felt that he would never be able to deal with government affairs.

After a long time, he realized that he was not an emperor who took care of everything in his hands, but a good emperor.

Human energy is limited, and a person's thinking will inevitably be biased, and if everything is handled by oneself, it will not be fair and just.

Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty just set up the post of prime minister, and he had a lot of power, and he only needed to be responsible to the emperor alone.

Later, because the prime minister's power was too huge, and even affected the imperial power, he was angry and did the opposite.

The cabinet and the three-province system were abolished, and the six ministries were directly responsible to themselves, but they were tired enough.

After Liu Zhi came into power, he also walked his old path, but it turned out that this would not work.

Although he gradually delegated power and no longer had to do everything personally, there were still big loopholes in the system, and he relied entirely on his own personal prestige to maintain it.

If you have an accident, all the systems will collapse.

In fact, there have been countless wise emperors in history who realized the crux of the problem, but due to the limitations of their thinking, they failed to come up with a proper solution.

But he is a modern man and well-informed, and if he is still as powerless as them, it will be too useless.

The father and son agreed on the concept of a dualistic monarchy, and discussed some details.

Since Liu Jin was established as the crown prince, this is still the closest relationship between them.

According to Liu Zhi's plan, when Liu Jin was eighteen years old, he would be able to govern himself, and before that, the reform of the dual monarchy must be completely completed.

Then, in a Zen way, he will smoothly transition the power to his son, and he himself will be a free emperor.

After all, his body has undergone craniotomy and his vitality is greatly damaged, and he is very worried that when he gets older, his brain will shrink and become confused.

He didn't know what stupid things he was going to do, so he had to completely extinguish this possibility when he was clear.

Many emperors with a relatively long lifespan in history will appear to be wise and martial in the early stage and mediocre in the later stage, presumably because they are old and confused.

Therefore, for an emperor to live a long life and never retire, it is a complete disaster for the country.

By the way, should this point also be written into the system? When an emperor reaches the age of sixty-five, or is in poor health due to illness, he should initiate the Zen system.

It's just that he is willing to retreat bravely and give up this supreme power, but can his children and grandchildren do it?

No one can guarantee this, but it is impossible to initiate forced concessions, because it will be easy for people with ulterior motives to take advantage of it and incite the prince to seize power at that time.

It seems that to solve it perfectly, another way needs to be found.

The father and son discussed for a long time and reached a preliminary consensus, and in the following period, Liu Zhi summoned Yuan Xu, Chen Fan, Li Ying, Wang Chang and other ministers into the palace for a long talk.

Gradually, he won the support of these important courtiers, and as for Hu Guang of Hanlin Yuan, this person had no political position, and basically everyone was in the same clouds, so his opinion was almost negligible.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhi even recruited the crown prince Zheng Xuan, although he has not participated in the court politics so far, but in the future court structure, this person is absolutely important.

Zheng Xuan's talent is widely recognized, and his main focus is on writing books and teaching and educating people, and he never expresses his opinion on politics.

However, this person was born in poverty and was more sensitive to the suffering of the people at the bottom, so he was not a traditional defender of Confucianism in thought, but more enlightened.

This is very important, Liu Zhi does not want the future imperial court Taifu to be a defender of feudal thought.

Zheng Xuan took a conservative view of the dual monarchy, did not support or oppose it, and he was more interested in some basic national policies, such as land policy.

He believes that the land reform policy of the Han Dynasty needs to be further deepened so that the people can have more land and power.

To tell the truth, the land reform of the Han Dynasty is indeed a half-hanging, when he first ascended the throne, the land annexation was very serious, but the family could not shake it for a while.

Therefore, Liu Zhi later opportunistically, without moving the land of the family, immigrated the people, expanded the territory, developed industry and commerce, and transferred part of the landless labor force.

As a result of various policies, the previously acute social contradictions have gradually become relaxed, but in fact the situation of land annexation has not been truly resolved.

For a long time, no one has specifically raised this issue, and I didn't expect Zheng Xuan to express his opinion on the government for the first time, so he unceremoniously pointed it out.

"Since Kang Cheng pointed it out, he must already have his own ideas, so he might as well tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, the land policy of the Han Dynasty must completely prohibit the free buying and selling of land.

Otherwise, if there is a famine or other problems, the land will be transferred from the hands of the people to the hands of some treacherous people. ”

Privatization of land is one of the most obvious signs of the feudal system, and the prohibition of buying and selling is indeed the most effective means to solve the problem of land annexation.

However, 20 years ago, the whole environment at that time was completely unconditional, and it was impossible to achieve land state ownership at all.

Wang Mang had forced the Wang Tian system back then, but in the end it was strongly opposed by the entire family class and the middle class, and they united to overthrow his rule.

If Liu Zhi dared to act like this twenty years ago, the result must be similar to Wang Mang.

Even now, it is absolutely impossible to nationalize the land that has fallen into private hands.

If we want to implement the state ownership system, we can do it step by step and gradually realize it through other supporting policies.

Zheng Xuan is not a radical person, he dared to propose land reform in front of Liu Zhi, and he had already done a lot of homework behind his back.

To this end, he put forward several suggestions to Liu Zhi, the first is to first stipulate that land sales are prohibited, and the possibility of the family continuing to annex land is cut off.

Second, the land reclaimed by Captain Tuntian was stipulated to be owned by the imperial court, and the ownership of the wasteland that had not been developed so far was determined first.

Thirdly, all land confiscated after a crime must be strictly owned by the State and then redistributed.

Fourth, no one is allowed to build a dock fort to confin the land, and what already exists must be demolished.

Of these recommendations, the first is the most difficult to implement and the most likely to be opposed by all strata.

Not to mention that those who own a lot of land, even some ordinary rural landlords, will also vigorously oppose it.

Even some ordinary people do not approve of it, after all, when they encounter difficulties, they can still tide over the difficulties by selling their land.

The Han Dynasty has long tightened the slave trading system, and now even land can not be sold, if there is a famine, it will not only be a share of death.

However, Zheng Xuan, a scholar who grew up reading the books of sages, is already remarkable to be able to take the problem into account.

"What Kang Cheng said is very reasonable, the sale and purchase of land does need to be abolished, but if there is no solution, I am afraid it will be difficult to implement."

"The minister also knows that it is difficult to abolish land sales, but he has thought about it for a long time, and there is still no workaround, and he asks His Majesty for advice."

Liu Zhi laughed, this problem is actually very simple to solve, of course, he didn't come up with it himself, and later generations have already given a ready-made model.

"It's easy to solve, the state is not allowed to buy and sell land, but it can be leased."
