Xiao Niangpi and others were stunned by the Magna Carta. They didn't expect that it could be played like this.
"Isn't this a treasonous act? This means the house will be ransacked and beheaded." Xiao Niangpi and the others were dumbfounded. This was not included in the education they had received since childhood.
The emperor is above everything else, at least legally.
No one can negotiate terms with him. No one can even control him or restrict him.
You can only persuade, that is, give advice.
If he obeys, he is a sage and wise king; if he does not listen, he is a tyrant and a tyrant.
But now, it's obvious that the rogue gangs in Jiangnan are trying to be tough and directly declare that your imperial power is not granted by God, but by law.
Imperial power must also be restricted by law and act within the scope of the law.
If he violates the law, he will be punished just like his subjects.
This was simply an unprecedented thing, and it made their heads spin for a while.
The first part of this edition, which is the first page of the four-fold page, focuses on the history of England, as well as the country's population, economic situation, and surrounding neighboring countries. What is the national situation of this country. The king and nobles of this country
How is power decentralized?
The second page focuses on the content of the Magna Carta and its impact on the English dynasty. What are the positive and negative implications for their country. Yang Fan looked at it carefully and saw that this level of article was written by Zhang Pu himself.
of.
The article is very pertinent and clearly explains the pros and cons.
The third page focuses on the tyrants who appeared at the end of each dynasty in Chinese history. How they did not listen to the persuasion of their subordinates and ruined the country and family, and brought disaster to the people.
In this part, Huang Zongxi's ideas appeared, which separated the dynasty and the world.
The dynasty is the private property of one family, while the world is the public property of all people in the world.
The royal family must not use private interests to abolish the public affairs, nor use family interests to infringe on the public interests of the world.
Therefore, the emperor and the royal family can safeguard the interests of their own families, and the gentry, common people, and merchants can also safeguard the public interests of the world. Each safeguards its own interests without conflict.
The royal family is just a part of the world. There is no specialness.
Just like a trading company, they are only the largest shareholder, not all shareholders.
Yang Fan looked at it and frowned. This part of the writing style had changed again. Could it be that Huang Zongxi was responsible for it? After all, he is 22 years old this year. I wonder if his thoughts have matured so early.
The fourth folding page is even more explicit, proposing the strange cycle of rise and fall, control and chaos in Chinese history. Why it always wanders in a circle with one control and one chaos. It also tries to propose a solution.
This part simply mentioned a lot of things in the information that Yang Fan gave to Zhang Pu before.
For example, people cook, legal rule, equality, free travel, private territory and property are inviolable. The government is an institution that serves the people, not a tool for making money for the Ming Dynasty civil servants and their relatives and followers.
The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty must accept the supervision of the people. The court's expenses must be audited and their whereabouts must be disclosed to the people. The trials of county magistrates, prefects, governors, and the three judicial departments must be conducted in public, and people's representatives are invited to observe.
The core point is to start from restricting Chongzhen's rights, and then control and limit the abuse of imperial power and official power step by step.
The purpose of this is to protect innocent people from being illegally prosecuted, to protect unreasonable taxes from being levied, and to protect people's personal safety and property from infringement.
And to achieve this, they recommend:
In the provincial capitals of each province, a parliament was established composed of public recommendations from the gentry in each region. New taxes announced by the court that affected local areas must be approved by two-thirds of the local parliament before they can be implemented. Otherwise, the gentry can boycott.
Local justice must be supervised by the Yi Zheng Hui. As long as it complies with Ming law, the emperor cannot interfere.
When appropriate, the Imperial Capital Council will be established, consisting of eighteen provincial councils, each with two representatives. It will make suggestions and suggestions for the imperial court's decisions. If the imperial court's decision-making harms local interests, it will be opposed by the Imperial Council.
, and local governments have the right to resist if they insist on going their own way.
Seeing this, even Yang Fan was dumbfounded.
Are Donglin and his gang crazy? Are they thinking that Su Bao will be shut down?
But after thinking about it again, I felt relieved. The emperor was about to clean up the Donglin cabinet.
They worked for two years, but achieved absolutely nothing. They also caused the slaves to attack the capital, killing and injuring millions of people, and causing countless public and private property losses.
In the past two years, they have been unable to do anything, and they have ranked first in making money.
The whereabouts of the money allocated to Yuan Chonghuan to buy horses are unknown. The military funds allocated to Pidao were first seized by Yuan Chonghuan and then disappeared. After Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong without permission, the whereabouts of Mao Wenlong's huge property in Pidao are unknown. The Ministry of War still has a huge financial hole. Explanation
Not sure.
Since the emperor wants to kill several of Donglin's first assistants, second assistants, and Ge Lao, they will naturally not be polite to the emperor. After all, Zhang Tianru has not broken with Donglin yet, and his restoration (the meaning of the imperial examination review group)
It is also the youth team and second echelon reserve force of the Donglin Party.
Since the emperor wanted to quarrel with him, they stopped pretending.
Just put all the current Ming Dynasty problems and shit basins on the emperor's head. It has nothing to do with us, it is all your problem as the emperor. As long as your rights are restricted, these problems can be solved.
Yang Fan did not expect that because the emperor wanted the Donglin Cabinet, Zhang Pu jumped out to dig out the emperor's roots and fundamentally deny the imperial power.
He frowned, this was something he didn't expect.
He knew that Zhang Tianru was bold, but he didn't expect to be so bold.
Yang Fan's first consideration was whether the fire would burn his head. After repeated consideration, he realized that it would not.
Because Yang Fan was not responsible for setting up the printing factory in Hangzhou from the beginning. Except for a limited number of people, no one knew that the printing factory belonged to Yang Fan.
The printing factory is located in the mountains outside Hangzhou, and its address is confidential. The institution in the city is ostensibly a woodblock printing and copying library. It mainly deals with the Four Books and Five Classics. It has nothing to do with the Soviet Union.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The real mimeograph equipment is in caves and basements. The workers used are all overseas, mostly Koreans and Japanese, because they are familiar with Chinese characters.
Until now, not many people know where the Soviet newspaper is printed. Zhang Tianru only had someone come to pick it up after he finished proofing the newspaper.
The rest is to manage the daily work, pay wages to employees, contact the submitted authors, mail the manuscript fees, etc.
The newspaper is independently run, with mysterious funds arriving every month.
All the money earned goes to the newspaper. There is no need to worry about the printing wages, ink, paper money, and transportation costs. Someone comes to take the proof of each issue of the newspaper, prints it, and then sends it to the newspaper's distribution points in various places.
As long as Zhang Tianru didn't tell anyone, no one would know that Yang Fan was secretly supporting him.
Zhang Tianru and the others dared to do this, so they were not afraid that the emperor would send people to arrest him. It was not like the Suzhou riot had never happened before, and several Jin Yiwei were killed.
With Chongzhen's personality, does he really dare to break with the entire gentry group in Jiangnan?
Yang Fan was skeptical and could move a few people, but if he faced the Jiangnan gentry collectively, he might not dare.
But, is it a good thing that Donglin broke with other factions so quickly?
But now, Zhang Pu uses these new ideas as weapons to attack the court and the emperor, which also has an advantage.
That is to take the opportunity to spread these new ideas.
The rationale is unclear, but as soon as these things are brought up, they will arouse people's thinking and generate supporters.
Jiangnan is the area with the most active ideas and the least constraints from feudal ethics. It is not a bad thing to spread these new ideas there first.
Even if Jiangnan and the emperor were in conflict, it would not be a big deal.
As long as the emperor touches the Donglin cabinet, he will break with the Jiangnan gentry.
He later committed suicide without even moving the capital to Nanjing. It was simply because the Jiangnan gentry did not accept him. He, the prince, and the princes did not dare to go, for fear of falling into the water.
After he committed suicide, people didn't care that there were several princes in his line, and directly chose people from King Fu's line.
