Saint of the Confucian way

Many people thought carefully. Soon, many officials raised their heads and looked at Fang Yun in amazement.

Since Jingguo will adopt cabinet centralism in the future, what about the monarch?

Some officials vaguely felt that the Empress Dowager behind the curtain was trembling gently, not because of fear, but because of anger.

Fang Yun added: "this is only the operation mode of officials. It does not involve the monarch. Our king country is always a cabinet centralism under the leadership of the monarch."

People are confused, which means that Fang Yun has no intention of abolishing imperial power at least so far.

Cao De'an nodded: "In this way, Jingguo has not changed in essence. After all, China's decrees have always been implemented after discussion and deliberation by many colleagues. Fang Xusheng just defined them as clear rules. In that case, I have nothing to object to. Next, I asked Fang Xusheng to write a complete Memorial on cabinet reform. If the majority of cabinet members agree, I will write to the monarch, Please make a decision with the queen mother. "

Then, Cao De'an looked at Yang Xuwen.

Yang Xuwen glanced lightly, thought for a few seconds, nodded heavily, and said, "as long as most of his cabinet colleagues agree, the prime minister can't go against the wishes of the officials. Of course, this matter can only be implemented with the consent of the Empress Dowager and the king."

Cao De'an smiled and said, "anyway, even if cabinet officials make a decision in the future, they still have to affix a jade seal before they can implement it. For the Empress Dowager and the emperor, the change is not big. Therefore, your response need not be too fierce. It's much simpler than carrying a goose and a sheep."

The officials laughed. Unexpectedly, Cao De'an joked about Fang Yun in public.

Fang Yun knew that Cao De'an had no malice and said, "Cao Xiang is right. This so-called reform only regulates cabinet officials, does not violate the etiquette and law, and does not affect the monarchy at all. Bachelor Lin, does Fang's reform violate the etiquette and law?"

All officials looked at Lin Shouyan.

Lin Shouyan thought for a moment and said, "this reform has neither subverted the monarchy nor violated the ethics. It is the internal consultation of the officials of the state of Jing and the ruling of King Jing. The ritual hall will not interfere. However, since the new system is to be implemented, it should be included in the law. In any case, it should be noted that the punishment hall."

"After retiring from the court, Fang will ask the senior executive of the punishment hall for instructions. Only when the punishment hall issues a document, can we justify the reform." Fang Yun said.

Lin Shouyan nodded and said nothing.

The officials present were awestruck. Some officials secretly said that it was dangerous. Fortunately, they did not object. Fang Yun superficially said to ask for instructions from the punishment hall. In fact, he had already communicated with the punishment hall. As long as the punishment hall documents were written, Empress Dowager Jing Jun could not disagree.

In name, the holy court will not interfere in the affairs of various countries, but in fact, the holy court governs the human race. Once the punishment hall issues a document, if the Empress Dowager dares to veto it, it is tantamount to giving an excuse to the movement hand.

Once the Empress Dowager confronts the punishment hall, from then on, all legalist scholars in Jingguo will firmly stand beside Fang Yun.

The sanctuary, after all, represents the saints.

The temple of punishment is ultimately in charge of the law of the holy yuan continent.

The Empress Dowager and the royal family of Jingguo are not Fang Yun after all. They will never dare to fight against the holy courtyard.

After hanging the curtain, a faint sigh came.

Many officials were sympathetic, but there was nothing they could do, because even if they did not understand Fang Yun's practice, they could feel that Fang Yun had no selfishness, and Fang Yun's innovation was indeed beneficial to Jingguo.

At least, Fang Yun's cabinet centralism is better than the dictatorship of the left prime minister, or the possible death of King Jing.

Cao De'an said: "cabinet centralism may have defects, but at least it is better than the nonsense of the popular election system in the political history. If the popular election is really carried out, the monarchy will be seriously impacted."

Wei Xu, director of the ritual department's instrument system, said: "the lower official thought that after the world is Datong, the democratically elected system is the way of Tangzheng."

"Ridiculous!" Cao De'an scolded the official who was the top five.

Sheng Boyuan looked at Wei Xu with extremely severe eyes, but Wei Xu turned a blind eye. Sheng Boyuan had no choice but to shake his head and show a bitter face.

There are many hard bones in the Ministry of rites and the supervisory yuan. As the Minister of the Ministry of rites, he has no way to take Wei Xu. Wei Xu is not anyone's disciple and doesn't make many friends, but he is the son-in-law of the Gongyang family, and his mother family is the branch of the Kong family.

The key is that Wei Xu is upright and strict. If he had not been too honest, he would have been appointed a waiter of higher grade instead of Si Zheng.

Wei Xu said: "Cao Xiang's words are different. The world is the same, everyone is a scholar, and people are the same. Why can't we do the matter of popular election? Since Fang Xusheng is willing to risk the universal condemnation and lists the system of popular election in the political history, he must recognize the system of popular election. We might as well listen to Fang Xusheng's views."

Fang Yun didn't expect that this subordinate of Sheng Boyuan was so frank, but he didn't oppose himself before. Obviously, this person has an extraordinary mind.

Fang Yun thought for a moment and said, "on the premise of perfection, on the premise that everyone's intelligence surpasses Jinshi, on the premise that everyone is based on facts, and that everyone is not affected by personal preferences or emotions, there is no doubt that popular election is the best way."

Fang Yun did not like some people who like empty talk in ancient China, but gave strict restrictions.

Many officials nodded gently and thought Fang Yun's words were very reasonable.

"But the countries listed in your political history have people-oriented countries, and they have implemented popular elections," Wei said.

Fang Yun said with a smile, "political history is only a summary book, and many words are inconvenient to explain in detail. People-oriented government is the general trend and the best way in the future, but it takes a long process. Let alone political history." Although the countries listed in the list are called people-oriented countries, the real power of the people is actually very small. For example, in one of the people-oriented countries, the appearance of the people in that country is slightly different from that of our Chinese children and grandchildren in the Shengyuan continent. The real power in that country is called the house of Lords, but the real owner of that country is not the people, but the big businessmen and the elders of the house of Lords 。”

"Read the history of politics , you may wonder why there are elders of noble republics in the people's country? I say so because the members of the upper house of that country are indirectly hereditary. They will indirectly inherit their power by various means, such as son-in-law, such as agents, and then transfer power to their descendants if possible. "

"You may think I hate that country, but that's not the case. I very much recognize that country. It is a great country. It is powerful and great in many aspects. In that star region, that ethnic group is the strongest and is admired by the surrounding ethnic groups. The reason why I take it as an example is to express a view on the intelligence, ability and knowledge of the civilian class of an ethnic group Until and thinking reach a very high level, there can be no so-called real people-oriented. Looking back, any powerful country in history is ruled by the elite. "
