In order to make these aristocratic families feel a little more psychologically balanced, the simplest way is to set aside some quotas and allocate them directly to various aristocratic families, but Liu Ziqiu does not want to do this. It can be said that it is in the early days of the founding of the country, and any approach will become a routine.
This allows future generations to have rules to follow. Now that quotas have been allocated to aristocratic families, it will be very difficult to take back these quotas in the future. Comparing our feelings, after all, only a very small number of people in this world are really willing to give up their vested interests.
Moreover, what Liu Ziqiu wants to do is to gradually promote public schools at all levels so that children, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, can afford to study, and ultimately let the country's entire official system completely get rid of the control of aristocratic families. In this way, it will inevitably compete with various
The most fundamental differences arose among the aristocratic families.
If you give up, you will gain, and if you gain, you must give up. If you blindly suppress these aristocratic families, the result will be counterproductive. Since it is necessary to reduce the proportion of children of aristocratic families among officials at all levels, Liu Ziqiu must give these aristocratic families a certain degree in other aspects.
Compensation, and this compensation is the biggest headache for Liu Ziqiu. What kind of compensation can make the wealthy families feel that it is enough to make up for their losses? What kind of compensation is something that the court can provide? Only Liu Ziqiu can decide these.
Facing the mountain of memorials and the things that needed to be solved by him personally, Liu Ziqiu understood what it means to manage everything on a day-to-day basis. While possessing power, it also brings endless responsibilities, which can also be regarded as supreme.
A by-product of power. Liu Ziqiu suddenly felt that only by completely delegating power could he relax. Thinking of delegating power, Liu Ziqiu suddenly had an idea in his mind.
In the history of the development of human society, there is an important term called "separation of three powers", which means that the legislative power, executive power and judicial power are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. In fact, whether it was the Sui Dynasty or the one established by Liu Ziqiu
In the Han Dynasty, all power was highly centralized. As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ziqiu held the highest legislative power, the highest administrative power, the highest judicial power and the highest military command power. The chiefs of each county also controlled the administration within their jurisdiction.
However, due to Liu Ziqiu's intervention, they were deprived of their military command rights.
As for administrative power and judicial power, Liu Ziqiu currently has no conditions to separate them, but for legislative power, Liu Ziqiu has some ideas. He is the emperor, and his words are the law of the court, and from another perspective
On the one hand, he has lost restraint and supervision. But now, Liu Ziqiu has decided to hand over his legislative power and establish a body similar to parliament to exercise legislative power.
Thinking of this, Liu Ziqiu lightly knocked on the table. He made a decision to set up a council and a council. The council members are composed of representatives elected by ordinary people, and the council members are composed of representatives from major aristocratic families and those who have been knighted by the court.
, which is similar to the House of Lords and the House of Commons in later generations. Any law enacted must be approved by more than half of the members of these two organizations before it can be formally implemented. In these two organizations, the status of the council is higher than that of the counselors
Yes, in this way, aristocratic families can influence the laws of the country in this way. In a sense, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation for them.
When Liu Ziqiu announced this idea in the court, it immediately caused an uproar.
Wei Zheng was the first to leave, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the emperor has no words, the laws are all based on the emperor's heart, how can you treat others lightly? Please take back your orders!"
Liu Ziqiu chuckled and said: "I am also a human being, not a god. If I accidentally say nonsense and it is treated as a law, wouldn't it be a disaster for the people. Therefore, we should pool our wisdom and listen to other people's opinions on matters of law.
The council is composed of ordinary people and represents the demands of ordinary people. The council is composed of nobles from aristocratic families and represents the interests of noble families. A law is a truly good law as long as it satisfies the interests of the vast majority of people as much as possible.
If all laws are decided by me, it will only benefit me, and it will inevitably be biased."
Handing over legislative power is only the first step for Liu Ziqiu to actively weaken the imperial power. In the future, he will gradually hand over executive power and judicial power. Only then will he truly feel relaxed.
He Chou also said to the class: "Your Majesty is a benevolent and holy man, how can you say anything inappropriate? How can you hand over the power of legislation to the common people? Please think twice!"
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "I may be cautious in everything, but won't my descendants produce a few mediocre people? By then, I'm afraid the world will be in turmoil again. Don't you hope that I will take care of this beautiful thing?
Will the country be handed over to future generations?"
This sentence was so heartbreaking that no ministers dared to say it. Only Wei Zheng said seriously: "The law is a major matter of the country and cannot be trivial. There are many things wrong with leaving it to the council and the council!"
Liu Ziqiu could hear the looseness in Wei Zheng's words, and couldn't help but smile: "The basic laws of our Han Dynasty have been set, and those discussed by the council and the council are only interested in revising and perfecting the laws. Besides, every new law has to be revised.
All laws must be signed by me before they can be implemented. Naturally, this is no child's play! I have made up my mind, Wei Qing does not need to worry too much!"
Only then did Wei Zheng realize that Liu Ziqiu had made careful plans, and he sighed and said nothing. Of course, from the bottom of his heart, he still had many objections to Liu Ziqiu's establishment of a council and council, but he did not know that Liu Ziqiu had decided to gradually implement a constitutional monarchy system.
, and also planned to appoint him as every prime minister of the Han Dynasty. When the time comes, a huge burden will be placed on him.
…
Of course, food must be eaten one bite at a time, and things must be done step by step. The proposal to set up a council and a council of counselors was finally carried out under Liu Ziqiu's forcible promotion, and Liu Ziqiu did not continue to take further measures, but focused his attention on
Arrived in Hebei, Shandong and other places.
The rebels in the world are led by Wagang. Now that Wagang has been defeated, Xu Yuanlang, Lu Mingyue, Wang Bo and others have nothing to worry about. Although they each have heavy troops, they are just a mob without systematic training. In the Han army,
Under the devastating offensive, everything fell apart in an instant. Counties in Shandong and Hebei also fell under the rule of the Han Dynasty one after another. Xu Yuanlang and Lu Mingyue also died in the rebellion. Only Wang Bo was at large. Wang Bo was from Jiangnan.
He is a member of the Wang family, and the Wang family was destroyed under Liu Ziqiu's design. Therefore, Wang Bo has an sworn hatred with Liu Ziqiu and the Xie family in Jiangnan. Coupled with Li Mi who escaped some time ago, these two people have become possible causes.
Unknown factors that contributed to the instability of the Han Dynasty.
However, although Liu Ziqiu drew pictures and spread the word to the world about wanted Wang Bo and Li Mi, he did not put too much energy on the two of them. After all, Hebei and Shandong had just recovered, and there were many things waiting to be done, especially the large number of victims who were unable to eat.
Liu Ziqiu was very worried because he was hungry and not fully clothed.
The court is a boat, and the people are water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Liu Ziqiu once said this to Changsun Wuji back then. But now that he is the emperor, he feels it more deeply. The people of the Han Dynasty are very kind-hearted.
He also has a strong sense of patience. As long as he can eat enough, no one is willing to come out and raise a flag to rebel. After years of war, not only are there not much surplus food in these two places, even several major granaries in Luoyang have become empty. Liu Ziqiu’s only
The only way is to collect food from major aristocratic families.
Although Liu Ziqiu was willing to pay and could pay more than the market price, except for the Jiangnan Xie family, the Longxi Li family and the Taiyuan Wang family, other aristocratic families did not buy it. The reason was to defy Liu Ziqiu by declaring the Jiangnan Xie family to be the first aristocratic family in the world.
Expressing dissatisfaction. These aristocratic families are deeply rooted in various places. Liu Ziqiu can exert heavy pressure on one of the aristocratic families, but it is impossible to deal with all the big and small aristocratic families at the same time. To solve the current predicament, Liu Ziqiu can only continue to rely on Xie, Li, and Wang
Support from three companies.
In order to gain the support of these three aristocratic families, Liu Ziqiu of course had to give them enough respect, so he personally hosted a banquet for the heads of these three aristocratic families in Shanglin Xiyuan.
The head of the Xie family is now Xie Yun, and the head of the Li family is still Li Changshan. Now that Xie Yun and his son and Li Changshan brothers are both in Luoyang City, it is very convenient. The new head of the Wang family, Wang Kaize, also arrived in Luoyang at starry night after receiving Liu Ziqiu's invitation.
city.
These days, except for Xie Yun and his son who are playing in Xiyuan accompanied by Gao Xiuer, no one else dares to enter Xiyuan. Today, brothers Li Changshan and Wang Kaize are considered the second group of public tourists to enter Xiyuan. However, except for Wang Kaize, the Wang family in Taiyuan,
No other important people came to Luoyang, and those who followed were not qualified to enter Xiyuan. Therefore, among the three major families, the Wang family seemed to be alone. Of course, the strength of the Wang family was not as good as that of the Li family in Longxi, and their relationship with Liu Ziqiu was
It's not as good as the Jiangnan Xie family, so it's reasonable to be ranked third.
The banquet was held in Jingmingyuan. The scenery here remained the same, but Wang Guizhi, the wife who was in charge at that time, had already married. Things have changed and people have changed. Liu Ziqiu could not help but sigh for a while, but Qin Fengqin came out to welcome him, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, everyone at the banquet
Everything is ready, Your Majesty, please take your seat."
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said: "Although the banquet is ready, it cannot be without singing and dancing. I also ask Mrs. Qin to arrange one or two."
Qin Fengqin said with an embarrassed look on her face: "Your Majesty, all the beauties who were good at singing and dancing in Xiyuan have been released from the garden, and only some maids are left. I'm afraid..."
But Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that Mrs. Qin is good at dancing with flower poles, why not make all the family heads happy?"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Qin Fengqin's face. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "If your majesty wants to make me dance, I hope your majesty will agree to my unkind request!"
