Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

In the early morning of the 26th of the first month of the tenth year of Xuanwu, the sky was slightly bright, and countless guards came out of the palace!

They galloped on the avenues of Yanjing City!

All the guards are wearing yellow jackets, holding small yellow boxes in their hands with seals on them!

They came to the gates of Yanjing City. The soldiers guarding the gates of Yanjing City immediately restrained the people and let these palace guards leave.

"These are the imperial guards who are going to convey and announce the imperial decree. More than ten people have passed by here this morning. How can so many people pass by? How can so many imperial decree be conveyed?" The middle-aged man in the car was surprised.

"Your Majesty convened the Minister of Civil Affairs and Armed Forces to discuss major issues. The Military Aircraft Department has been renamed the Government Administration Yuan, and Tianxia Twenty-Three Road has been changed to 36 Provinces. In addition, His Majesty and the Ministers of Civil Affairs and Armed Forces formulated the "Kindom Constitution Outline". The ministers of the thirty-six provinces have all been elected, and now these edicts are sent to the world! The thirty-six provinces, the military districts of the north and south, and the production and construction corps will all receive your majesty’s decree!” A scholar next to him The dressed young man said.

"So that's it." The middle-aged man nodded.

"I heard that early this morning, Yanjing City will also post the imperial list and promulgate the outline of the imperial constitution. I am about to enter the city to take a look." Confucianism said.

"Ah! There is such a thing, then I have to go in and take a look!" The middle-aged humanity.

After a full half an hour, the number of people at the gate of Yanjing City was increasing. At this moment, the martial law at the gate of Yanjing City was lifted. These people rushed in and almost all the people went to the place where the emperor was posted. .

At this moment, in a one-thousand-mu manor north of Yanjing City, although the weather has cleared up, the snow in the manor still has not melted away, leaving a white scene.

In the manor’s house, several Koreans are sitting together at the moment, discussing the outline of the King's Constitution.

"The three provinces and six departments are completely gone!" Jin Can sighed long.

"Although there are no three provinces and six departments, but now the Council of State, the National Assembly, and the Supreme Court are equivalent to the previous three provinces." Li Rui, the former minister of Korea, is also in this manor, said Li Rui.

"Master Li is right. Although it is no longer the three provinces, there are three government councils, parliaments, and supreme courts." Wang Kai said while drinking hot tea.

"His Royal Highness does not know that the current Council of State, the National Assembly, and the Supreme Court are completely different from the previous three provinces! In the previous three provinces, the Central Book Ministry was responsible for setting orders and decrees. The six ministries add up to the current Council of Government! And the powers and responsibilities of the three provinces are often unclear. The Minister of the Ministry of Education is the prime minister and the subordinate province is the deputy minister. There are many disputes between the three provinces! There is only one Council of Government now. There is only the Prime Minister, and there is no Deputy Prime Minister. Under the Prime Minister, the ministers are ministers. The speed of implementation of the decree may be far better than the previous three provinces and six ministries!" Jin Can said.

"Master Jin, what do Congress and Supreme Court do?" Li Rui said.

"One to formulate the legal system, the other to implement the legal system! The former Ministry of Criminal Justice and Yushitai have been completely integrated into the Supreme Court, and the Government Council cannot intervene. I am afraid that officials at all levels will be restricted by the court! As for the Congress, the law is enacted, I am afraid The power will also increase. If the Congress formulates the promotion of officials, won't all officials in the world also be restricted by the Congress?" Jin Can said.

"This..." Li Rui was stunned.

"The Council of State Administration is still the most powerful in power, but the three checks and balances and restrains each other, and they are all under the control of the emperor! This imperative constitutional outline stipulates that the laws of Congress must be passed by the emperor before they can be implemented. The Council of State Affairs is even more directly in control. Under the emperor's command, as for the Supreme Court, the emperor also has the right to amnesty! In this way, the power of Emperor Xuanwu will truly surpass all emperors in the past dynasties! The military department used to be arbitrary in the past, and this is even more so now! What a good method!" Jin Can sneered.

"I feel that the power of the Prime Minister of the Council of State is far greater than that of the previous prime ministers!" Li Rui thought for a moment and said.

"This..." Jin Can stayed for a long time, nodded fiercely, and said: "How can this be? Yes, the prime minister's power is indeed more than before! The prime minister controls six ministries and controls the 36 provinces in the world, and his power indeed surpasses the past, even Can threaten the sovereign power!"

"The prime minister has only five years of office, and he cannot be re-elected for more than two terms. Coupled with the restrictions of the Congress and the courts, it is impossible to threaten the monarchy." Li Rui shook his head.

The two discussed for a long time and still couldn't discuss a reason, and now they no longer discuss the matter of monarch power and relative power.

"Although the outline of this King's Constitution contains only more than a thousand words, it does mention a lot of things. People's property must not be infringed arbitrarily. People are obliged to perform military service, and they are obliged to pay taxes. In addition, everyone is equal before the law. Interfere with the law!" Jin Can said again.

"The world is no longer ruled by Confucianism, but ruled by law. I don't know whether this is good or bad! The Central Plains system has undergone such a big change for the first time since the Han Dynasty!" Li Rui said.

"The rule of law is also completely different from the rule of law in Qin! Qin's law is the violence of law to squeeze the people, while the law of your majesty is based on the legal order of the world!" Jin Can said.

At this moment, among the teahouses and restaurants in Yanjing city, countless people in Yanjing are discussing the outline of the imperial constitution. Some people think that the outline of the imperial constitution is very good. The idea of ​​governing the country by virtue and governing the country with emotion is completely against!

In fact, the outline of the imperial constitution promulgated by Zhao Chen is basically the same as the "Imperial Constitution of Japan" during the Meiji Restoration of Japan and the "Outline of the Imperial Constitution" at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It established a modern political system while ensuring the dictatorship of the monarchy!

The reason why the outline is named is mainly because the constitution is not perfect, and there may be many mistakes. These must be constantly corrected in governance! However, in any case, the basic system of the country is basically the same as the system of decentralization of powers in later generations! Three points of national power, checks and balances each other! As for the dispute between monarchy and opposing power, Zhao Chen also has his own ideas in his mind. At present, he is still arbitrarily determined, and he will gradually lie to him in the future!

On the 30th of the first lunar month, the thirty-six ministers of the province left Yanjing City and went to the north to take up their posts!

On the first day of February, the Government Affairs Council officially opened!

In the Imperial Study Room, Zhao Chen held the first meeting of the Government Council with the Prime Minister Wang Shu of the Council of Government Affairs and the ministers of the Council of Government Affairs.

"The current government administration council is different from the previous three provinces and six ministries. In the past, neither the prime minister nor other officials had a term of office. As long as you do well, you can continue to do it! Now your term of office is only five years! Think about it, what do you want to do in these five years? How do you govern and change the country in these five years?" Zhao Chen sat behind the table, looking at these ministers, said.

"Your Majesty, it has only been two years since the end of the World War. The national system has just been established. In the next five years, the most important thing is to ensure the stability of the world and actively develop the agricultural and commercial economy." Wang Shu said.

"Very good, how are you going to develop the economy?" Zhao Chen said.

"Regarding agriculture, officials from all over the country must personally go to the fields..." Wang Shu said.

"Needless to say!" Zhao Chen interrupted him abruptly and said: "I don't want to listen to this! I tell you what to do!"

"Your Majesty, please speak." Wang Shu said.

"Last year how much grain production was in all parts of the country? After your term of office expires in five years, how much grain production will you achieve in the world? How many roads are there now, and how many roads are you going to reach in five years! Now the world has How many piers, how many piers will there be in the world in five years? How many schools are there now, and how many will there be in five years! How much was the national fiscal and taxation last year, what will happen in five years? What will the military department do in these five years? Recover Annan and attack Dongying How much force do these need to consume, and how much financial resources are needed to pacify these places? Your government council writes down all of these items. I don’t want to see empty words and arrogant words. I want to see real data! Within five years , How much do you do each year, and what if you can’t do it? I want a plan, a goal, and a policy program! Starting from me, the court can no longer pass by like previous dynasties, do you understand?" Zhao Chen Tao.

"The ministers wait for the edict!" Wang Shu stood up with the ministers and said.

"Sit down! I'll give you ten days, and you have to give me an answer in ten days! The goal cannot be set too high, otherwise you will not be able to achieve it! The goal cannot be set too low, the proof is too low. You are incompetent! From now on, everything in the world must be shown with data, and the development of the world must be expressed with data. This is not only for me, but also for the Congress, and for hundreds of millions of people in the world! I and the people of the world You must see tangible results! If you don't do well, you won't be worthy to preside over the Council of Government Affairs. I'm afraid I will change a group of people!" Zhao Chen said.

"The minister understands!"

"Wang Shu, you are the prime minister, and you are the former prime minister. Chen Ping in the Han Dynasty said,'The prime minister, the emperor, manages yin and yang, and the four seasons are the best for all things. The outer town caress the princes of the Siyi and the inner relatives. The people, let the doctors hold their posts.' In the future, apart from appointing officials of Grade 3 or higher and using foreign troops and other important matters to be decided by me, you can make self-determination on the rest!" Zhao Chen said again.

"Ah!" Wang Shu stayed there all of a sudden, and said: "Your Majesty, we dare not!"

"Relax, I will always pay attention to the Council of State Affairs. Every ten days in the future, the Prime Minister and ministers of the Council of State Affairs will report to me about the affairs of the state! Every month, the ministers of the provinces will also write down the important affairs of the provinces and report them to the Council of State Affairs and me!" Zhao Chen Tao.
