Qiming 1158

Chapter 1673 Guizi, I will be domineering this time

Kong Maojie was very surprised by this, and was the first to express his disapproval of Su Yonglin's decision.

"Although I had such a hunch, I still find it difficult to accept your proposal. I know that it is wrong for me to think so, but... Compared with you, I don't think anyone can replace you in this role. important position.”

Kong Maojie's words are also ideas shared by these people.

The tenure system is of course meaningful, so all dynasties and dynasties will implement the system of dismissal of officials to avoid the division of the country caused by local confrontation with the central government.

The Song Dynasty did the best, so although the country was poor and weak, there could never be a splitting force against the central government within the imperial court.

But if the central government also does this, isn't the country facing the danger of splitting?

And more importantly, besides Su Yonglin, who can replace him to hold the power he holds?
Who can replace him and become the Dinghai Shenzhen in everyone's heart?

Because the disapproval was too loud, and it could be seen that each of them had something to say, so Su Yonglin went to chat with each of them individually after the internal meeting.

With the opportunity to be alone, they speak more candidly.

Among them, what Tian Guizi said was more candid, sticking to his promise to Su Yonglin.

"You want to promote the court's tenure system, I know what you think, but you must seriously consider whether this matter is feasible at the moment, not to mention whether the executive committee can reach an agreement, and our personal idea.

I will only say one problem. If you can solve it, I will support you without hesitation as in the past, and will do my best to help you persuade other people who do not agree with your ideas, and help you achieve this goal. "

Su Yonglin nodded.

"You said."

Tian Guizi took a deep breath.

"How do you ensure that the person who takes over your position after you retire can convince me? How do you ensure that what that person says and does will make me not object and will help execute it? Or is that person me?"

Su Yonglin stared at Tian Guizi for a while, and seeing that his expression did not waver, he knew that this was indeed what he was saying, and he said what was in his heart to his face.

To be honest, that person was not Tian Guizi, and Tian Guizi himself should have expected that that person was not him.

Because he has no military skills.

Even in a modern society where science and technology are developed and prosperous, prestige is indispensable if most people want to truly obey the supreme ruler.

An indispensable and important part of prestige is military merit, which is one of the logics of the operation of human society that cannot be changed and shaken.

A leader without military merit is not unable to ascend to the status of the supreme ruler, but if he has no military merit, he cannot become a complete ruler, he is a lame man in power, and he cannot really persuade opponents to realize their own ideas.

The political struggle around him will run through, and all kinds of bad methods will emerge in an endless stream. Everyone may obey him, but everyone may also betray him, and he will not be able to obtain political power that is truly loyal to himself.

Many people opposed Su Yonglin's policy, and many people risked their lives to fight against him, but he was able to push his policies to the end, and even changed the Ming Kingdom from an imperial system to a republic system.

This is a major event that will change the world. It involves a large number of interest disputes in all aspects. Ordinary people cannot be involved. Once involved, they will die without a place to be buried.

But Su Yonglin succeeded.

How much of this credit belongs to Su Yonglin's unparalleled military exploits, I am afraid anyone with a discerning eye can see.

Without military merit, without a huge military merit that can't be seen directly, Su Yonglin's reform is not likely to succeed, and it is very likely that he will go down the wrong road.

For example, Zhao Guangyi, the god of donkey and chariot war, died in the army after two defeats and could not subdue the army, so he could not follow Zhao Kuangyin's established pace to carry out reforms, and could not successfully eradicate the ills of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

In the end, for the sake of his own throne and power, he could only promote his culture and restrain his martial arts, take a crooked path, and lead Dao Song to a strange path, which caused a series of strange chain reactions with far-reaching legacy.

Therefore, the successor must have military merit, or the kind of person who is quite prestigious and powerful in the army, so as to deter a group of arrogant soldiers.

At the same time, because he has the major authority to govern the country and the ultimate veto power, this person must also have a certain political ability, and he must not lose too many points in politics, so that he cannot control the political situation, so as to move towards a military dictatorship the way of the person.

Civil and military double cultivation, every level must also have great achievements. There are only a handful of such people in Daming. Su Yonglin is the number one in the sky and has no branches. Under him, there are really not many such people. .

Tian Guizi is obviously not one of them, because he has no military capability, and he knows it in his heart, so when he raises this question, he is in essence opposing Su Yonglin's decision.

It is conceivable that if Su Yonglin chooses to rule for life, then at least when he is still alive, Daming will be extremely safe and prosperous.

There will be no less political struggle, but it will definitely not have any major negative impact on the country.

The year when the Second Congress was held was the year of the Republic of China 38. Su Yonglin was [-] years old. He was not considered young, but he was not considered old either. He was in the prime of his life.

His body is in good condition, he doesn't get sick very much, his complexion is ruddy, he speaks full of spirit, and his energy is also good. If there are no major problems, it should not be difficult to live to be 70 years old.

Calculated in this way, Su Yonglin still has at least 30 years to lead Daming and build a stronger foundation for Daming. Under his leadership, everyone will honestly fight for Daming, and will not think about other of.

30 years is enough to change many things. No one can predict what will happen in 30 years, but it also represents infinite hope. Taking ten thousand steps back, Su Yonglin will have enough time to train successors .

It is undoubtedly more appropriate to make such a decision after 30 years.

But if Su Yonglin made a statement at this moment, it would inevitably start some incidents that everyone did not want to see.

What needs to be clear is that although Su Yonglin ended the imperial power system and distributed his power to everyone, in terms of major affairs, Su Yonglin, with his unshakable prestige and strong influence, can still be the final decision maker.

Although everyone knew that Su Yonglin was no longer the emperor, he still could not help but follow his advice.

Because of Su Yonglin's existence and deterrence, everyone can't help but acquiesce that they should do things honestly instead of fighting for power and profit, so the political operation of the Ming Kingdom is very efficient.

But if this kind of presence and deterrence is lost, whether Su Yonglin is active or passive, when faced with a brand new situation, how should everyone treat the new successor?

Treat him like Su Yonglin?

Impossible, there is only one Su Yonglin, his son can't become the second Su Yonglin without military merit, let alone a pure "outsider" without blood relationship?
In this case, dissatisfaction will arise, dissatisfaction will lead to disputes, and conflicts will arise due to irreconcilable conflicting interests. The internal struggle of the Ming court will gradually intensify and gradually enter a very violent state.

Can the executive committee maintain its current state of engrossed in work and efficient operation?

Tian Guizi thought it was impossible.

For example, he was very dissatisfied with Lin Jingchun's grumbling and arrogant way of doing things, and was very dissatisfied with him.

Lin Jingchun also didn't like Tian Guizi's expression and way of doing things that others owed him 100 taels all day long. There were conflicts and disputes between the two of them because of some things.

At the same time, because he is mainly responsible for supervision work, he often invites officials to drink tea and chat. Tian Guizi also has a lot of contradictions with Zhou Chong, who takes administrative work very seriously.

Zhou Chong has always had a lot of opinions on Tian Guizi's overbearing way of doing things.

In addition, Kong Maojie, a rising star, has always put a lot of pressure on him in a sense. As the first and second leader of the supervision department and the Renaissance Society, Tian Guizi has always regarded Kong Maojie as a competitor in his heart.

Except for Su Yonglin, no one can suppress and reconcile the conflicts between these three people and him.

If they lost the final shock of Su Yonglin, the conflict between the four of them would not be so easy to deal with.

At least on sensitive financial issues, they are not convinced by anyone.

If it wasn't for Su Yonglin's support for the stingy guy Lin Jingchun, he would have been blocked at home and couldn't even get out of the house.

Several other people, Xin Qiji, he is not familiar with, and has no good feelings.

Chen Yuliang and Wang Yan were both juniors in his eyes and people who needed to learn from him. He never thought that these two people could be on a par with him or even surpass him.

The last thing, Chen Dao, was out of Zhongdu for most of the five years in order to prepare for the establishment of the Ministry of Public Security. In front of him, he was a transparent person.

It was all because of Su Yonglin's existence that he was able to maintain a cooperative relationship with the other seven people. When they had a conflict with each other at a meeting, Su Yonglin slapped the table and glared at them, and they shrank their heads and didn't dare to argue any more.

It can be said that he refuses to accept anyone except Su Yonglin.

And he also thinks that the other seven people have more or less the same opinion. Su Yonglin is in the lead, and everyone doesn't say a word. Obediently obeying orders and doing things, Su Yonglin doesn't take the lead, and whoever wants to be that head will not have a good situation.

First of all, everyone is in conflict with Lin Jingchun on the issue of money. A group of people who want money faces a person who likes to save money, and conflict is inevitable.

Although Kong Maojie and Zhou Chong have a good relationship in the past, they also have certain contradictions on the issue of supervision work and administrative work.

Although Chen Yuliang didn't say it, Tian Guizi once heard that in the Shangshutai era, Chen Yuliang, who should theoretically belong to the higher-level leaders in financial work, was quite dissatisfied with Lin Jingchun, who also acted in a domineering and direct manner, and felt that the financial power was completely controlled by him. There is a very shameless thing in hand.

Chen Dao was Su Yonglin's side in the past, and he had dealt with everyone. In the face of some pleasant people, his relationship was still good, such as Xin Qiji and Wang Yan.

But when dealing with other colleagues who are quite character, it is not less to look at people's eyes, and not less to argue face-to-face.

And let’s not say now that the establishment of the public security department in the future is completed. As the leading figure of the law enforcement department and the violence agency, he will definitely pursue his right to speak in the executive committee and show his sense of existence. He is a very deterrent player in the future. .

Among the eight people except Su Yonglin, only Xin Qiji and Wang Yan have a milder personality, less individualistic, and they are more peaceful in dealing with others and appear more rational. The other six have more or less personality problems.

Therefore, if Su Yonglin no longer continues to be the general mediator and the controller of the overall situation, fighting within the Executive Committee in the future is almost an inevitable option, unless Su Yonglin takes them away together to make room for the latecomers, then it will have no effect. .

Regardless of whether the term system will affect the members of the executive committee or not, Tian Guizi feels that this issue alone deserves Su Yonglin's consideration.

Of course, Su Yonglin has carefully considered the internal contradictions of the Executive Committee, and also knows the impact of his role and his position on the overall situation.

Of course, he knew that it was a good option for Daming to continue to hold this position until his death, and as a price, what would happen to Daming after his death may have been written in the history books.

So he couldn't accept this ending, he couldn't accept that once he died, Ming would face civil strife and division, so he would rather take the initiative to pierce this hidden danger while he was still alive, take the initiative to let the conflict break out, and then resolve the conflict.

These things are caused by him, born by him, and must be finally resolved because of his choice, and can only be resolved by him.

Tian Guizi was very frank with him, and Su Yonglin also decided to be frank with him and tell him his true thoughts.

"Guzi, my thoughts are not complicated. I can't accept that anyone, including me, will turn the country into a private weapon, so holding a position for too long is a great risk for each of us. Yes, I hope we have a good start and a good end, instead of being late."

Tian Guizi looked at Su Yonglin and seemed to understand what he meant.

"If I understand correctly, what do you mean is that you want the eight of us to retire after you complete the ten-year term of office?"

"This is my initial idea. Of course, it is best if it can be realized. If it cannot be realized, then we will discuss it."

Su Yonglin said with a smile: "I know, it's a bit difficult to achieve this goal, because everyone is not that old yet, but this is also a special situation of our Ming Dynasty, the Jianguo generation is too young, including me, all too young."

"You know too..."

Tian Guizi wiped his nose and sighed: "I don't know if you are born selfless or a habit you have acquired. If you don't want such a great power, you don't want it, and if you don't want a respected position, you don't want it. .

You are indeed amazing, but I also hope you understand that not everyone can be as selfless as you, otherwise the democratic republic would not have been created by you. Who has no selfishness and no selfish desires?what do you say? "

Su Yonglin nodded.

"I know, so I understand your thoughts very well. I know that my idea may be a bit wishful thinking. It is more ideal. You are unlikely to be as willing to give up your current power and status as I am, and ten years later, half of us Everyone is under 50."

"Retirement at the age of 60 is acceptable to everyone, no matter who it is, we can understand it."

Tian Guizi sighed and said: "But before the age of 50, you will lose the power of decision-making, and you will have to abdicate regardless of whether you are at fault. This awareness is really a bit high. Do you think how many of the eight of us can accept it?" Woolen cloth?

And more importantly, it’s okay if you don’t mention this matter. You mention it, everyone will start to think about who you will choose as your successor when you think about this matter. You don’t want to inherit the throne, and you don’t want your own son. High, then who else can take the top?

Of course, the eight people closest to you are the eight of us. Everyone has contributed to Daming, and everyone has made great contributions to Daming. You can skip the eight of us and choose someone else to inherit. Consider Have you experienced the feeling of the eight of us? "

This can be said in front of Su Yonglin, which shows that Tian Guizi is really frank.

So Su Yonglin didn't have any other thoughts about him, just honesty.

"Guzi, I will not hide from you, no matter from any aspect, I want to choose a suitable person among you to be my successor, skip you and choose other young people directly, I think it is inappropriate of.

We are too young, so there is still a distance between our group of people and the retirement age of 60. I simply want you to follow me and retire. I guess there will be many people who oppose me, and you will definitely try to oppose me.

But if we are not in our 30s and 47s now, but 50 or [-], or simply [-] years old, then ten years from now, won’t it be the retirement age?
I understand the temptation of the executive committee's huge power to people, and I also know that not everyone can give up power freely and easily, and to this position, each of you has your own political fundamentals.

If I force something, then for your own benefit, even if you don't want to, your respective supporters will probably react to my ideas to some extent.

They are all excellent administrators, and everyone has excellent abilities. I don't want them to lose the opportunity to continue to contribute their talents to Daming due to political reasons. I hope they can continue to shine in their posts.

It is not easy for Daming to cultivate a qualified official, and it consumes too many resources, so my idea is to link the tenure system and retirement system of executive committee members through the efforts of two generations of leaders.

In this way, there will be less disputes and more room for easing, so that conflicts will not break out suddenly, and direct conflicts will not be good for all of us. I don’t want to fight with anyone, you said. What, Guizi? "

Tian Guizi pursed his lips and nodded to admit that Su Yonglin's thoughts had practical significance.

But far cannot quench near thirst.

"Your idea will be a good solution in another ten years, but now that you have spoken out and everyone's mood is different, do you think this matter can be finished well? Once something starts, it will not It may be easy to end, there will be disputes, and you can't underestimate everyone's determination."

"Guzi, do you think I can do it with my prestige?"

Su Yonglin looked at Tian Guizi expressionlessly.

Tian Guizi swallowed his saliva, thought about it seriously, and then came to a conclusion that frustrated him.

"You can do it with a certain price. No one of us can stop you, but apart from you, there may be no one else who can do it again."

"So, I also want to do it later, but I hope that this rule can be formed before I die."

Su Yonglin shook his head and said, "I'm going to die, my time is limited, I hope that while I'm still alive, I can see with my own eyes that these rules have become the unbreakable political iron laws that everyone recognizes. Respect these regulations.

This is not impossible, but it takes time and enough time to form a consensus and form something that everyone recognizes, whether it is active or passive, long years will reveal some problems, but it will also give me the opportunity to Get rid of.

You also said that only I can solve these things. After me, no one will have the opportunity to solve them. My prestige is an unsolvable existence. As long as I am alive, I will definitely be able to do it. I think To do things, even if I make my own anti. "

Tian Guizi was speechless and admitted all of it.

"You're right, no one can do this except you, and we won't obey anyone's orders except you. If it's you, you can."

"So, I will choose a successor among you to take my place, and I will step down and hand over the power to him, but at the same time supervise him."

Su Yonglin said with a smile: "I will supervise him to hand over power to an excellent leader who will be in his 40s and nearly 50 years old, and then start this standard change of office. There is an age limit for committee members.

Although I will not clearly set the term of office to forcibly intensify the conflict, but when the retirement age of 60 years is reached for civil servants, then there is nothing wrong with retiring in a fair manner, it is logical, isn't it? "

Tian Guizi thought about it, and could only sigh slightly.

"What you think is a little too ideal, and I'm afraid there will be problems at that time."

"Of course, this is just a draft. We still need to discuss some details, such as some unexpected changes brought about by birth, aging, illness and death. These can be discussed, and there is nothing that cannot be discussed."

Su Yonglin shook his head and said, "But I don't want to change this general rule. Ten years, only ten years."

"Ten years doesn't seem like enough time for a group of people to flex their muscles, and I'm worried that Daming will become dead for it."

Tian Guizi shook his head and said, "Is ten years really enough? Will it really not cause a gap between national policy and national will?"

"With the development of science and technology, I believe Daming will have great changes in a short period of time."

Su Yonglin raised his head and looked into the distance: "At that time, Daming's speed will not be as slow as it is now, Daming's speed will suddenly speed up, it will continue to speed up, the next ten years and the current ten years will be completely two concepts.

At the same time, when our rules are formed, the relationship between the predecessor and the successor should not be a competitive relationship, but a relationship between the past and the future. The successor continues to do what the predecessor has not done. This is the core of our set of rules. "

"You think too far."

Tian Guizi sighed: "You always think so far, so that we can't keep up with your footsteps and your thinking, we will only think that you are too advanced, even a little crazy, which will make us feel uneasy, let us We feel we are in danger.

And under this threat, we can't keep sane forever, and we can't keep our trust in you forever. I hope you can seriously consider this. We appreciate you, but it doesn't mean that we don't cherish our own lives. "

"Guzi, I'm not crazy."

Su Yonglin smiled bitterly and said, "I just want to make Daming a well-behaved country before I die, so that Daming's officials are well-behaved, and don't do things I don't want to see, even if you pay for it. cost.

You oppose me, I admit it, you want to attack me for this, fight against me, I admit it, but I firmly believe that I will win the final victory, as long as I live, there is nothing I can't do, even if it is Rebuild Daming, I can do it too, what do you think? "

Tian Guizi was silent for a while, then slowly lowered his head.

"What you are saying is that this country actually belongs to you. No one can really stop you what you want to do. If we forcibly stop it, we will surely die under the anger of the people, and there is no possibility of victory."

"If that's the case, then, Guizi, this time, I'm going to be domineering."

Su Yonglin took a deep breath and said slowly, "I never wanted to be a domineering person. From the very beginning, I gave you full respect and autonomy. Unless someone does it too much, I won't turn my back on me. table.

But when it comes to issues that I cannot agree with and must change, I will never compromise. This time, I must do it. There is only one Su Yonglin, and it will not appear again in the future. Su Yonglin's rules will be passed down to future generations, which is inappropriate. "

"So, what do you want to do?"

Tian Guizi looked at Su Yonglin seriously.

Su Yonglin also looked at Tian Guizi seriously.

"Guizi, I will be overbearing this time. Ten years later, I will retire, and you will half retire to start cultivating the next generation. After 20 years, you and the successor will all retire! Don't keep anything, don't interfere in anything, Spend your old age peacefully with me."
