When Li Kezai came to the political hall, he saw a chaotic scene. The ministers were quarreling. Zhou Huang acted generously and Yuan Shitai also shouted loudly with a firm face: "I will not go to hell." Who goes to hell!?¡±
Seeing Li Kezai appear, everyone's eyes turned towards him. Many people had unbearable expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to explain things clearly to Zhou and Yuan. In their view, Zhou and Yuan colluded with the two chambers and took advantage of the loopholes in the prime minister selection system, which was the beginning of the corruption of the government. The emperor should not allow the old situation to collapse, and the prince must have received the emperor's order.
"Is there still Yuan Shitai? Okay, now both sides are together"
Yuan Shitai is a typical royalist whose political views favor the Lion Party. He believes that the country should try its best to let go of industry and commerce, and that the top management should focus on military diplomacy and strive for supremacy in the world. He is exactly in tit-for-tat opposition to Zhou Huang.
"Your Majesty just said that since everyone is arguing, let's go to the Zhongji Hall to have a clear discussion. Choose a suitable time and theme"
Facing the expectant gazes of everyone, Li Kezai gave an unexpected and reasonable answer: the great meeting of Zhongji Hall. As for what the topic of the discussion should be, his father's previous words in Hongde Temple echoed in Li Kezai's heart.
Let the scholar-bureaucrats uphold the justice of nature and man, and let the people have a broad and smooth path to the scholar-bureaucrats. On this basis, establish a political structure in which the prime minister leads the two chambers and the political hall, establish an authority structure based on party struggle, and win or lose without breaking the bottom line. , this is the last link of the British-Chinese political system.
"The prime minister will have financial power and oversee the state affairs. The imperial power only cares about military power and foreign affairs. What is discussed is the change of the prime minister. The two houses and the political hall are separated, and the old system of prime minister selection must be changed accordingly."
This link covers too much and has many patterns, so Li Kezai chose the handle of this link as the title. This is also where he, the future emperor, is placing a price for his power, and how far his power will reach in the end. He wasn't sure.
Even so, Zhou Huang, Yuan Shitai and other cabinet ministers all changed their expressions and fell into shock. The scope of the prime minister's power has not expanded much compared to before, but the complete letting go of financial power is a huge symbol, which means that the emperor's power in internal affairs will be further weakened.
Yuan Shitai and Zhou Huang looked at each other, and the determination in their hearts turned into anxiety. Originally, they just wanted to shake up the old situation. He also expected that there would be huge resistance, at least facing the doubts and doubts of the emperor and the prince. But now the old situation has collapsed due to the prince's words. The two instigators will step on the stage and lead the change of the situation. Can they afford it?
Yang Junli, Cheng Yingde and Xiang Shanzhi looked at each other silently, their hearts churning with uncertainty, more than forty years ago. Although they were all young and weak, they resolutely devoted themselves to the changes in the world and followed the emperor to split the world. Now that the political situation has changed again, they are really unwilling to let Yuan and Zhou take the lead.
The Zhongji Hall meeting scheduled for April 20 not only completely stirred the hearts of people in the political hall. Both chambers of Congress and the people were all clamoring for it. Most people only understood this major meeting as changing the prime minister selection system, but the scholars knew that the party struggle system of the prime minister selection system was the core issue, and the division of imperial power and power under the party struggle system was the foundation for a century. fundamental problem.
On March 5, Liu Lun and others announced the reconstruction of the Tongmenghui and published the association's charter to the world through newspapers. The Tongmenghui is committed to the unity of the north and the south, the unity of the homeland and overseas, and the joint protection of the righteousness of the Chinese people. Different from the previous constitutions that only talked about righteousness and honor, the Tongmenghui clearly proposed political principles, emphasizing that the country should help ordinary people keep food and clothing, be committed to social justice, and be based on benevolence.
On three days and seven days, Duan Lindong, Shen Fuyang and others worked together to build the Republican Association and also imitated the Tongmenghui to publish its charter. The slogan of the Republican Party is to "enrich the people and strengthen the country", and its goal is almost the same as that of the Tongmenghui. However, its specific political policy is to reduce taxes and loosen restrictions, allowing talented people to make their own decisions.
At this time, Zhou Huang and Yuan Shitai have not officially announced that they have joined the two political parties. The party struggle has developed from a political party to a "political party" and then to a new prime minister selection system. There are still a series of steps to be taken in between. As political officials, The senior members of the Hall cannot yet be in place before the Zhongji Hall meeting, so they, and even the entire political hall, must temporarily stay away from the changes in the political party.
Just this change has made people in the country excited. After the Republican Association and the Tongmenghui issued their charters, they also began to recruit members and establish regular organizations. Many people, including many grassroots intellectuals and some people who have not yet shed their old-world thinking, feel that this is a treasonous act. Since ancient times, there has been no party struggle in the country. Now, in order to choose the prime minister and control the state affairs, some people have formed a party in broad daylight and openly! ?
But in accordance with Yinghua's legal spirit of "the country has no clear laws and is feasible", the series of earth-shattering actions of the Republican Association and the Tongmenghui did not cause turmoil. The reaction of the Political Affairs Hall was to follow the routine practice of government affairs and submit a document to the two chambers of Congress and the Dali Yuan (National Court of Justice), requesting regulations on the management and control of parties involved in political affairs councils to ensure thatAlthough the ministers are also elected by the people, there are only a few hundred people deciding on the candidate for the prime minister. The people of the country are not clear about the selection pattern, making it difficult to be fair and just.
This issue leads to the dispute between the East and West Courts. There are more people in the East Court and fewer people in the West Court. If the East Court has the same opinion, then the West Court will have no say in the selection of the prime minister. This is obviously inappropriate.
This issue has made all parties realize that the future system for selecting prime ministers is likely to be more than a simple struggle between the upper class. This further stimulates the parties to start to turn the small circle of the National Yuan and the local Yuan into a large circle that extends to the country.
The third major issue is the debate on the new system for selecting prime ministers. Some people have said that it would be similar to the selection of ministers, and it would be better to let a country select people for general elections. However, this proposal has been completely criticized. Each council member is elected for five years, and a country now has five-level councils: township, county, prefecture, province, and national. After 43 years of founding, the country has developed and has been adjusted to one election every year. There are elections every year. It has become very The people and money have been wasted. In recent years, there have been increasing calls for the reform of the five-level electoral system in the country. Adding an election for a prime minister will make it difficult for the electors to survive?
"Based on cost, it is more convenient to select council members. Based on legal theory, council members are selected by people and represent the people's will of the country. There are too few people in the National Council, so everyone can't see clearly or touch them, so it can be moved down. "
Several well-known political commentators hold this view, which is recognized by many people.
There are so many other issues that the meeting originally scheduled for April 20 was postponed to April 28. On April 20, the emperor made an unprecedented appearance. He convened the two chambers and the Political Affairs Hall, held a whole-day imperial meeting, and then promulgated the "Edict on Political Party Selection", which clarified three points. First, the state affairs should be returned to the prime minister. , secondly, political parties exist legally, and thirdly, the selection of prime ministers introduces the political party system.
The emperor ordered the establishment of the Electoral Yuan, with the prince personally serving as the governor and subordinate to the Grand Court, in conjunction with the press, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Yuan to ensure the fairness and justice of the election. As everyone in the country knew, the emperor entrusted the important task of reform to the prince.
On April 28, the forty-third year of the Holy Path, the Zhongji Hall meeting that attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of people was finally held. To be continued.
