In Su Liu's opinion, if you want to maintain the traditional imperial system, you need to do the following two things.
The first is to strengthen the branches and strengthen the branches, and vigorously strengthen the centralization of power. Whether it is local vassal kings or feudal officials, they must be purged and rotated from time to time. In this way, there will no longer be a super power that dominates one party.
.
However, this was broken by Qi Yu. Now he holds a heavy army and is entrenched in Nanyang. Although it is not Anlu Mountain, it is better than Anlu Mountain.
Fortunately, he has no intention of rebellion or proclaiming himself emperor, but is willing to be a loyal patron saint of one party.
Another means to maintain the imperial system is to continuously adopt policies to obscure the people, in order to subtly influence the thinking of the world. This is somewhat similar to the imperial examination system, which uses the coercion of the system itself to control the behavior patterns of others. Over time,
They will be bound by traditional systems.
Women not wearing pants is one of the above-mentioned constraints, designed to restrict women's thinking logic and daily behavior.
From the emperor's point of view, this binding force is conducive to rule. If it is broken for no reason, it is likely to trigger a wave of thinking about eradicating the old and reforming, and then shake the traditional system.
Nowadays, since we cannot maintain the link between strong branches and weak branches, we can only retreat to maintaining the system. If there are any more flaws in the system, the traditional imperial system may be challenged.
Therefore, Su Liu chose to refuse flatly.
Qi Yuxiao asked her: "Is it worth it to mess with my face just to not wear pants?"
"It's just rhetoric, I won't be fooled by you!" Su Liu shook his head firmly and said: "To tell you the truth, I will never wear pants... Oh no, what I want to express is
, I will neither go against the grain nor destroy the old system. Everything will be done step by step and I will stick to the tradition of Dafeng."
"Your idea may be fine in the short term, but in the long run, it will definitely not work." Qi Yu sighed softly, and then said with emotion: "The development of history has its own inevitable laws. In the face of the general trend, any resistance will
They are all overestimating their own capabilities. Not only will they not be able to block anything, they will also be crushed into miserable crumbs by the force of the general trend. You should understand this superficial truth."
Su Liu frowned slightly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "I firmly believe that everything depends on people, and what you do will always come true! How can you know if it doesn't work if you don't give it a try?"
Hearing these words, Qi Yu suddenly remembered a past event.
I still remember that my mentor Meng Lanshan once said this to me before leaving Qiongzhou.
He once said that there is no so-called faction in the court. If we want to force a division, it can only be divided into two categories: those in power and those on the sidelines.
However, since the success of the Qiongzhou system, some subtle changes have occurred.
Meng Lanshan made a prediction and said that in the future, there may be a conservative faction headed by the emperor and a revolutionary faction represented by himself. These two factions, one new and the other old, are likely to have conflicts due to political differences.
This intensified the sharp and irreconcilable contradictions.
Looking back now, the old gentleman is indeed very foresighted.
However, he only guessed one correctly, but not the second.
He said that the emperor is a representative of the old school, which is obviously wrong. Judging from the series of reforms made so far, his attitude is obviously biased towards institutional innovation. On the contrary, the well-informed Empress Su firmly
They clung to the old system and even used it as a favor.
It's really unexpected.
Su Liu was stunned for a while and asked sadly: "Qi Yu, tell me, is there an emperor's house in this world that will never fall?"
When Qi Yu heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then he started thinking seriously.
Yes~~
From the perspective of a bystander, her problem is not an ordinary one.
Let alone an imperial family that will never fall, it has been passed down for a hundred generations, which has never happened in history. Even the Shang Dynasty, which had the largest number of monarchs, only lasted for thirty generations from Tang to Zhou.
This shows how naive this question is.
However, Qi Yu answered her very seriously: "If you want it, you can really have this!"
Su Liu almost didn't believe his ears and teased him: "Haha, you didn't mean to tease me, did you?"
"You are not a thrush, why am I teasing you?" Qi Yu cleared his throat and said solemnly: "In the previous life, there was a social system that respected the emperor. Although this system was mixed with many flaws, it was very special.
Matches your current expectations. If you want, you can use it right away.”
"Is it really true?" Su Liu still couldn't believe it and asked doubtfully.
"It's true! You might as well think carefully about the specific reasons." Qi Yu affirmed and replied.
you say……
What exactly is this?
Suddenly, Su Liu's beautiful eyes flashed, and he asked with a surprised look on his face: "Are you saying that you want me to implement a constitutional monarchy?"
Qi Yu laughed and praised: "You are really smart, you can guess right!"
After a few compliments, he said with gleaming eyes and longing: "Although this system has flaws, it is very suitable for the current situation. By then, your royal family will be the king for generations and will be unshakable; and the chief minister of the country who holds the real power will also
The meeting will be changed every two terms, and the old will be replaced by the new according to time. This method not only maintains the status of your monarch, but also avoids the emergence of powerful ministers, which can be said to complement each other."
Qi Yu feels that the constitutional monarchy may be the most suitable alternative to promote social reform while retaining the monarchy. As for how to reform in the future, that is something that future generations should consider.
At present, it seems that this can only be done.
Su Liu slowly relaxed his frown and asked seriously: "Qi Yu, tell the truth, do you really want me to introduce this system?"
In this regard, Qi Yu did not answer directly, but said relatively generally: "To tell you the truth, promoting national progress is both my life ideal and my political ambition. In order to achieve this grand goal, I will do my best."
Find and try any possible advanced system, including but not limited to this constitutional monarchy."
Hearing this, Su Liu's expression suddenly became complicated.
However, only a few breaths passed before she smiled brightly and said generously: "We will discuss the future matters later. Right now, the most important thing is to save His Majesty."
Qi Yu originally wanted to have an in-depth discussion on this topic, but unexpectedly, Su Liu actually brought the emperor out. As a last resort, he had to withdraw his manuscript.
"You're right. It's important to save His Majesty right now. As for other things, we'll discuss them later. Okay, come with me!"
