Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "What? I think you really want to control a state? If you say it, just say it. If you don't say it, I think it's better for Wang Sanlang to be the governor of Jianzhou. As an elder brother, you can't  Are you going to stand by and watch?" Li Shimin said what was in Wang Kuang's heart in one sentence.

    "Your Majesty, it's not that someone doesn't want to say it, it's that someone can't say it." Wang Kuang broke out in sweat for a while, and Li Shimin put his words on this. If he didn't say anything, he would take Qiao.  But, do you really want to say what you are thinking?  If this is really the case, will students from all over the world gang up and attack him?

    "What can't you say? The words that came out of your mouth, Wang Erlang, are astonishing. I think the most that can be done is that you alone can decide the affairs of Jianzhou? But your temperament is not like this. I originally  Since I dare to hand over the Navy Tiger Talisman to you, am I still afraid of handing over a state to you? I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

    Of course you are not afraid anymore. You are the emperor, who do I think you are?  For a genuine king, honor is higher than reality. You gave me this power in your hand. When you get upset and beat me to the bottom, I will be nothing, but what about you?  Who can touch you?  Wang Kuang muttered secretly in his heart.  But even though the emperor had spoken about this, he could no longer remain silent:

    "Your Majesty, Taigong said: The world is not for one person, but for the people of the world. Some people think that if it is placed in Jianzhou, it can be changed to: Jianzhou is not the Jianzhou of officials, but the Jianzhou people.  Statehood.¡±

    "Well, this is what is said in "Wen Tao", and it is also mentioned many times in the other five Tao. It is indeed correct, continue." Li Shimin came as soon as he heard that Wang Kuang quoted the words from "Wen Tao"  Interested, after returning to court.  He has heard many big shots mention that Wang Erlang's actions are in line with the essence of "Wen Tao". I'm afraid this Wang Erlang is still a descendant of Taigong?  Li Shimin became interested when he thought of Wang Kuang's origin. He was the Grand Duke!  Being able to be assisted by Taigong's descendant is also a kind of affirmation for himself as an emperor.

    "Someone thought that since Jianzhou was founded by the people of Jianzhou, why not just let the people of Jianzhou decide who should be the governor of Jianzhou? Following the example of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, the leaders of each ministry were selected by each ministry and then appointed by the court. If the governor is not suitable for Jianzhou  People's wishes. Then the people of Jianzhou can also jointly impeach him. In this way, if the people of Jianzhou are not satisfied with the government, that's it, they will not resort to force." Wang Kuang gritted his teeth and finally spoke out.

    I want to make the world peaceful.  The only way is that the people have the power to supervise and dismiss officials. Officials are responsible to the people, not to superior officials.  Only in this way can officials fight for the interests of the local people and the people.  Everything he does is placed under the supervision of the people, because the people have the right to dismiss from office.  Then officials are no longer parent officials, but stewards hired by the people. If they are not in line with the people's wishes, they can be fired directly.

    In this way, the corruption in the world will be reduced a lot. It still belongs to the founding period, with wise kings and virtuous ministers, and a prosperous scene. But this is maintained by human beings. If Li Shimin is a bastard, the situation will be a mess.  It's out of control. This is one person ruling the world, rather than the world being ruled by one person.  If the people are allowed to choose officials, it will be possible for the people of the world to rule the world. Since the world belongs to oneself and the officials are not satisfied, I can change them, so why should I rebel?  If you are dissatisfied, just step down. If the government decree is wrong, just let the officials change it.

    Under certain conditions, if the power of officials, or even emperors, is restricted so that they cannot do whatever they want, and everything must be considered based on the needs of the people, then the world will have long-term peace and stability, and the Tang Dynasty can never be used.  There are many examples of the rebellious people overthrowing the previous dynasty. If this status quo is not changed and the emperor becomes indulgent after the world is stabilized, he will fall into the cycle of dynasty changes. In this way, even  Before the world can be unified, the newly unified Tang Dynasty will fall apart again. If so, what is the meaning of his arrival?  War is still a possibility, and resources are wasted.

    Wang Kuang didn't dare to say it. In fact, it wasn't that he didn't dare to say it. There was no crime if he said it. The Taigong was able to put forward the idea that the world is not owned by one person more than a thousand years ago. It can be seen that the idea of ????democracy still exists.  On the basis of this, the people will not be punished for their words. Even if they point their fingers at the emperor and scold him, as long as there is a reason, nothing will happen.  And if this centralization of power is allowed to continue for another thousand years, then the monarchy will be deeply ingrained in people's hearts and will never be shaken.

    At this time, the Westerners should be under the city federal government system. They choose their own leaders, and there are institutions such as council chambers where citizens can comment on government affairs. These ideas have long been spread by the Silk Road.  We have arrived in the Central Plains and are understood by people. Therefore, it is not impossible to promote the electoral system in one place at this time, but Wang Kuang needs to inspire Li Shimin and the big guys in the DPRK to reflect on the former Qin Dynasty.  , the fundamental reason why the former Han, the former Jin, and the former Sui fell.

      After Wang Kuang finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the court hall. It was so quiet that the breathing of the people around him could be heard clearly. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn¡¯t dare to say anything. What Wang Kuang said was  To be honest, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were actually elected by the common people. Therefore, they could respond to a hundred responses, use small and broad means, and work together to achieve the goals they wanted to achieve.

    "Let's discuss this matter later!" After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin finally said something. It wasn't that he was angry, but that this matter was too big. He couldn't make a yes or no decision at once, and he had to discuss it with everyone.  We can just discuss it.  He had also heard about the city-state system of the Westerners. Xuanzang's travels to the west also mentioned many times that among the countries in the Western Regions, many leaders were elected by the people. They were all leaders with high reputations and extraordinary charisma.  He was so strong that even Li Shimin would envy him.

    The court meeting is still going on, and rewards are still being given out, but at this time, everyone has no intention of competing for envy. Even Changsun Wuji has led the ministers to manage the government in the absence of the emperor for more than half a year.  The matter of being well-organized and being named Shangshu Pushe did not cause much commotion. This truly established Changsun Wuji's position as one person below ten thousand people. In the past, Changsun Wuji's leadership position was  Mostly he gained the approval of the courtiers because of his status as uncle and the fact that the emperor always asked his opinion on everything, but in terms of position, he was not much higher than Xiao Yu, the elder of the three dynasties.

    Changsun Wuji himself also forgot to refuse. He was also a person who was not greedy for power. He had already pushed for the position of Minister Pushe several times before, but this time, he didn't push it. After the emperor sealed it, he refused.  I went up to thank him, but I didn't react until I thanked him, but it was already too late.  I wanted to push it further, but after thinking about it carefully, if what Wang Erlang said can really be implemented, then what if he becomes a servant of the minister?  The officials below are under the supervision of the people. Isn't it the same for me to have nothing to do?  So he just opened his mouth and said no more.

    This further discussion dragged on for several months. During this period, Li Shimin summoned the big shots in the court to his imperial study many times for secret discussions. He also asked Wang Kuang to draw up a charter. Wang Kuang didn't think much about it and asked me to draw up my own.  As planned, anyway, it is ready-made, and the executive power, supervisory power and order-making power of a state's government are divided. The order-making power belongs to the common people and officials, the execution power belongs to the officials, and the supervisory power belongs to the people.  However, military power is strictly stipulated that it can only be appointed by the court. At the same time, it also emphasizes the attitude that the monarch's power is given by heaven and resolutely does not allow the people to interfere.

    It is impossible to make a big fat man in one bite. Wang Kuang knows this very well. He does things step by step and takes root step by step. When the benefits of this system are recognized by everyone, then some people will definitely start to think about what will happen if they go further.  how?  As long as this can be achieved, Wang Kuang will be satisfied.  What happened to the monarchy?  Isn¡¯t Sweden also a monarchy?  They are still a successful socialist country!  The fundamental factor of social stability is not whether there is a monarchy, but whether the people really have the right to choose managers they are satisfied with!  (I¡¯m very ashamed. I¡¯m in my forties, and I¡¯ve only cast a vote until now. When I was in school, the teacher pointed out that I wanted to vote for someone. After that, I never saw anything like that on the ballot.  It¡¯s not that the gray bird doesn¡¯t want to vote, it¡¯s that there is nowhere to vote!)

    The fifteenth year of Zhenguan passed by in such a hurry.

    In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, many major events happened at once. First, a hot air balloon went up to the sky, which made it possible. Then, the students of the Gewu Academy relied only on an idea proposed by Wang Kuang.  A very heavy steam engine was made of copper. It was as big as a room and could only push a millstone to rotate and grind the surface. Although the cost was staggering, it allowed the students of Gewuyuan to see that with this millet, they would have  Without power, which thing in the world is not in the process of perfection?  Speaking of swords and weapons, the ancients still used swords and weapons made of stone. Now, they have become so powerful, especially farming tools.

    Also because of the emergence of the steam engine, the status of Gewuyuan in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty has improved a lot, which is almost comparable to the magic of the gods turning stone into gold.  Therefore, this year, not only the Academy of Geosciences, but also the Academy of Astronomy and other colleges, there were a huge number of applicants, all wanting to learn the exquisite techniques and learn the new things deduced by King Shixian. Now it is no longer what it used to be.  In the past, you needed to take a scientific examination to become an official. Now, as long as you are successful in a certain area, you can receive at least the treatment of a casual official. Those who stand out can also become a craftsman official. This is nothing more than those who do not like to study but  A career path for those who like to think about things.  (To be continued
