Chapter 155 Before the Thunderstorm
Li Longji quickly helped her up. Now the charming appearance is extremely charming, but the intelligent and fierce concubine Wu Hui has not yet entered the palace. Wang and Li Longji share the troubles and are not jealous. Moreover, when Li Longji is in trouble, she comforted her many times and put forward valuable opinions... Li Longji loves her very much.
So when Wang Hua saw Wang, he thought in his heart that she was the most tragic queen in history.
She was very helpful to Li Longji, who was no less helpful than Gao Lishi and others, and had a virtuous personality. However, in the end, Li Longji did not treat this woman like Li Xian to Wei, but she would not end up killing her brother and died of claustrophobia and anger.
Now Wang doesn't know that she is still working for this husband to die.
Li Longji hurried over and helped her up.
Wang Shi was not at ease, she said, "Your Majesty, I will ask you another question. Your Majesty has not been released for a long time, and I also understand that it is nothing more than your Majesty's power. But I have a saying that you advocated the righteousness of the past year and killed Zhu Wei. At that time, there were only 1,500 additional blood camp soldiers. However, when Wei Shuren controlled the court and there were countless flying cavalry soldiers in the palace to protect her safety. In order to prevent the northwest incident, nearly 100,000 troops were stationed inside and outside the city. What kind of comparison is this? Now, Your Majesty is in orthodox, and although he has used fewer people, Princess Taiping is still not as powerful as Wei's power. Besides, although Li Ci and others are leading the Yulin Army, they are just generals, but they cannot be loyal to them. If Your Majesty kills these people with the power of thunder, would you ask which Yulin Army soldier dares to follow their plans to rebell? Your Majesty please think twice."
Wang didn't say anything big, just made a comparison.
Of course, it was not as simple as she said. If Li Longji had an attack, he would not only kill Princess Taiping's powerful generals in a flash, but also beware of her father's counterattack. Therefore, he should not only be fast, but also be ruthless and accurate.
After all, there are still fewer people.
Wang said again: "Your Majesty, if you are still hesitant and let Princess Taiping take another step, there will be a cliff behind you. If you take another step, no matter what, your Majesty will be doomed in the first place."
Everyone put their ideas on Li Longji's closest palace maid, and the matter was so critical that Li Longji had to bet.
Li Longji's letter from Wang Hua to him appeared in his mind again. The letter said, "You are the emperor, and the four words appear before his eyes again."
He helped Wang up and said, "As the Queen said."
Li Longji is finally going to start to do something, but Wang Hua doesn't know.
But he smelled the slightest uneasy smell in the air with his intuition, and began to make some early arrangements quietly.
At this moment, Li Shouli came to his home.
Wang Hua had to greet him, and his relationship with Li Shouli was a little awkward. He brought his daughter from Tubo, but he didn't even return the Tang Dynasty and sent her away directly. But what was his relationship with Li Nunu? Talking about brother and sister? It's impossible, although he did regard Li Nunu as a pitiful fuck in his heart.
It is even more impossible to talk about husband and wife.
I had no choice but to welcome him into the mansion with the tribute of greeting my elders.
After sitting down, Li Shouli rubbed his back and said, "It's going to rain again."
When welcoming Li Shouli, Wang Hua really didn't look at the sky.
However, now it is June, and heavy rains often come in summer. People with ability can see the clouds and recognize the weather, but this is not very accurate.
Wang Hua could only answer casually: "I don't know how King Bing knew?"
Li Shouli said, "Nothing else. When the Empress of the Heavenly Emperor was in power, my father, Prince Zhang Huai, was guilty. I was imprisoned in the palace for more than ten years. I was beaten several times every year with a stick. I was covered in scars. Now, as soon as it rains, my back will feel aching. When it was about to clear the sun, my back felt light. So I could pass it and expect the arrival of sunshine."
Wang Hua was sad when he heard this.
Although Wu Zetian appreciates him very much, it can be said that without Wu Zetian, he would not be today, and he might have been erased when he grew up. However, Wu Zetian's tyranny at the beginning of his political career still makes people feel heartbroken.
Thinking of this, from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to abolish this hateful imperial power system.
When Li Shouli saw Wang Hua's face, he immediately thought of Wang Hua's feelings for Wu Zetian, and tactfully bypassed the topic and said, "I don't know when Erlang will leave Chang'an."
"It's probably only these few days, maybe not more than half a month."
"Get away early, it's a place of right and wrong."
Wang Hua was a little surprised. Although he was Li Nunu's father, he liked hunting, feasting, and indulged in Kabuki music. He was just a typical playboy or an older brother. It was difficult for Wang Hua to respect him. How could this wise statement come from his mouth?
When Li Shouli saw his expression, he suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Erlang, don't look at me like this. Among the staff members and officials of the royal family, there are Yuan Qianyao, Yuan Jiazuo, Pan Haoli and others. I am not boasting about myself. In your words, they all have the talent of the prime minister. With these officials urging me, do I really not wake up? One month ago, it was the busy farming time, and I was going out to hunt, bring my family slaves, and Pan Haoli blocked the way for advice. I didn't listen, so he dismounted and lay in front of my horse, accused me, and I had to come back."
After saying that, he laughed proudly, very satisfied with his performance. Even Yuan Yuan Pan and three shrewd people were deceived.
Then he said earnestly: "Now you should understand why I did this? Although I am the son of Prince Zhanghuai, I am a different lineage from His Majesty's Supreme Emperor. Ning, Shen, Qi, Xue and others are both His Majesty's brothers, but I am not. Therefore, only by doing this can you save your life. In just a few years, so many things have happened. Can I still not see through it?"
After Li Shouli finished speaking in front, Wang Hua was solemnly raised and bowed and said, "Get taught."
"What are you taught? After all, there is no product in your stomach, you can only pretend to be crazy and be stupid and ask for peace. This time I came here to ask you something."
Knowing that Li Shouli was "rarely confused", Wang Hua began to change his attitude towards him and replied congratulatingly: "May I ask."
Li Shouli was very satisfied with his attitude. If Wang Hua had not left Chang'an, he would not have said this. Today, he finally told others his helplessness and felt very happy. He asked with a smile: "When will you get married with Li Nunu? If you get married, can you notify me? Although I have many children, she is the only one who is floating outside. I feel very guilty. Can you take me to Oceania and let me see your wedding? I am also very interested in that land and want to go and take a look."
Wang Hua didn't know how to answer, but after a while, he said, "King Bin, you misunderstood. I have always loved Princess Jincheng very much, but the relationship is different from the kind you think. The reason for helping him is that it is related to the national system. If Princess Jincheng is a concubine of the Elephant Clan, it would be fine if she married Tubo. But Princess Jincheng is a legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty. After marrying Tubo, Tubo still has no tricks to our Tang Dynasty. This is a marriage that insults the country. Secondly, she has known me for a long time and is very dependent on me for several of my wives and concubines. Therefore, I don't want her to be insulted by the foreigners. That's why I rescued him. Even if I send him away, I was afraid that the Supreme Emperor and Your Majesty would continue to send her back to Tubo again for the so-called unreliable friendship. But not to marry her. Oceania now has nearly ten million people and is full of talents. I will find a good family for her in the future."
Li Shouli was so angry that he jumped up and said, "All talents are full of talents, I ask you, what kind of talent is worthy of marrying an orphan daughter?"
Wang Hua thought in his mind that what kind of talent is better than that of Tubo Xiao Zanpu.
But this truth doesn't matter to him. Maybe he would rather marry Princess Jincheng to Zampo, Tubo than marry him a commoner in Oceania.
So he had to say, "King Bing, even if I marry Princess Jincheng, I have to go through her approval. I will have to wait until I go to Oceania to inquire."
Let's delay. Anyway, when you arrive in Oceania, this prince can't go to Oceania to make trouble.
Li Shouli smiled again and sat down and said, "This sentence is human words. Gu believes that Nunu will definitely be willing. However, you have given a heavy betrothal gift to marry the woman of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Li Guer and Li Chiying. You can't treat Nunu badly at that time, but you don't want those horses. Can they exchange them for some gold, silver and cash?"
After saying that, he laughed unceremoniously, left proudly, and took away a few beautiful pieces of porcelain from the table.
Wang Hua was so amused and laughed, and didn't know which one was the real Li Shouli.
After Li Shouli left, Wang Hua received a long letter from Zhu Tong.
The letter said three things, the first one was the system conceived by Wang Hua.
This system is not a simple parliamentary system. Wang Hua remembers the failure of ancient Rome and the parliamentary system of white clothing. After all, the people cannot accept this advanced democratic system now. Therefore, shortly after implementation, it will inevitably be replaced by some people and become the king system again.
This is a party system. Wang Hua asked Oceania to establish three groups, one was Elva Hsiao and his group in Oceania, the other was Zhu Tong and his group from a blood camp and later went to Oceania, and the other was a scattered faction in various places, making them form a group of their own. The reason for the three groups is to maintain a balance. If two groups are afraid of being the only one, they will become dangerous over time. But there can’t be too many groups, as more groups will become chaotic.
Then the system of form and politics is divided into five systems: li, county, prefecture, province and central government. The li, the li, the li, the li, and the legal affairs are handled by the county magistrate and the chief lord. The six Cao Caos are roughly the same as the Tang Dynasty's political system. Only one road is missing and one province is added. Moreover, the real power of the province is greater. At the same time, the central system of form and politics is also very concise, without the complexity of the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, there is an additional institution, that is, the parliamentary. According to the area and population of each political district, some parliamentary representatives are divided into some parliamentary representatives. These parliamentary representatives only enjoy meager salary, but they have a supervisory role. There is another important role, that is, each institutional institution has to handle some affairs, but there are still some affairs that must be approved by the parliament. The parliament does not go through elections, and each group selects its own representatives, and the number of members of each parliament remains unchanged, and it is equally divided by three or three, and everyone has the same number of people. This is also for balance.
The body and politics unit are divided, and the following is the election. The first year is to elect Gelizheng and Libao. A group sends a representative to participate in the election. The citizens who have the right to vote are citizens, namely the Tang Dynasty and some foreigners who performed well, but there are many people who are illiterate. This depends on the methods and publicity of each group, so that the people can draw a circle under the representatives they sent. Then they will be discarded, and finally, under the supervision of the tripartite parliament, they will be elected.
This article is very complicated, but it is more advanced than the parliamentary system of Rome. It is a thorough review from the bottom to the top, rather than the aristocrats send some representatives to deal with political affairs like them. It can also be said to be democracy, but a hypocritical democracy.
Of course, if an official is elected and the people are dissatisfied, then in five years, whether the group sends this representative or other representatives, it will disappoint the people and will only fail. If they are satisfied, they can serve in another term, and even pave the way for the next term of their own group to be elected.
It is still possible to see if you choose a county in the second year. By the third year, it will be difficult for the people to know. They can only judge the advantages and disadvantages of the group based on the local results. However, the local situation must be investigated by superior officials. This plays a role in mutual supervision and restraint.
The fifth year is the largest and the statistics are more difficult. But compared to a transparent and democratic body, this trouble is worth it.
Of course, there are special circumstances such as birth, old age, sickness and death, violation of laws and discipline, demotion or punishment, and excellent performance. When encountering these things, the main official will take over the post, the main official will leave, and the deputy official will take over the post, and the temporary elections below the state. A person who is elected to elect a member of the parliamentary elections above the state will be elected.
In addition to allocating part of the funds for the parliamentary activity, the state can also encourage the people to raise funds for it. Of course, in order to have more participation in the political power, the people have no choice but to join one of the political parties.
Only in the central government has a slight change, Wang Hua's rights to leave a small part of his family are not very large, and are mainly symbolic rights. However, this royal family exists forever, and the country must allocate a small amount of funds every year to maintain its operation, but the royal family's own industries can be retained, but they do not enjoy the right to be exempted and pay taxes like everyone else.
This is a bit like the later constitutional monarchy, but it is slightly more powerful than the monarchy's constitutional monarchy.
Then there is the constitution.
First of all, it is granted that civil rights are equal before the law. Then there is the unified power. The Jiuzhou marked by Wang Hua on the map, except for the conquered territory, no one shall conduct separatist activities, otherwise it will be a death penalty. The third is the legislation of his parliamentary and electoral system. Under no circumstances can anyone change, including Wang Hua himself and his children and descendants. There are several other articles, and the constitution has few clauses, only a dozen, but none of them cannot be changed. Use the constitution to maintain his system again.
So Zhu Tong said that it is too charming to the people.
The biggest benefit of this system is the people. However, in order to win the election and have a greater say, the three groups will please the people. In the end, the people will become arrogant and difficult to manage.
But Wang Hua knew that no matter when, the people were always vulnerable, that is, the Western democratic system, which the people still used to fool. If they wanted to be arrogant, they would never think of this possibility for at least a few hundred years. If this system was promoted, nine of the ten officials did not take the people seriously. Now, it was replaced by five officials who did not take the people seriously, and they were already satisfied.
The second point is that it is easy to argue, but disputes are better than the current secret operation. Because there is parliamentary supervision, any small actions of officials of hostile groups can be seen immediately by other groups. This is more effective than the supervision agencies sent by the government. The disadvantage is that they will delay their work, but any system has its shortcomings, and it is impossible to do the best.
Another point is the prime minister system. If a capable prime minister, according to this method, can only retire and return home for ten years. This makes Zhu Tong a pity. Wang Hua has made a distinction about this matter. It is not that there are no talents, but the key is that there is no talent. In such a huge electoral system, countless talents will be discovered. I believe that for some excellent officials, even in order to win the election, they will not be allowed to be brought over and will be promoted to the stage step by step. But it eliminates the phenomenon of long-term greed for power.
It would be better if you stay in the prime minister for ten years. With a parliament, a royal family, and other supervisory agencies, you will not lose your rights. However, after staying for twenty or thirty years, you will inevitably control more rights and finally control the state.
In fact, the difficulty lies in the first fifty years. Once a routine is formed and people adapt to it later, even if some people have any ideas, others will not let them have such ideas.
In order to prevent accidents, Wang Hua did not hesitate to weaken the combat effectiveness of the army and also carried out some reforms to the army.
The commander of the army was promoted for merit, but the primary commander was the parliamentary election and the nomination system for prime ministers. At the same time, the army only had the right to lead the military, and other rights, including civil and economic rights, were not supervised by local governments and royal families. Through this method, the greatest weapon, military power status was reduced. Otherwise, if a certain person would also have a gun to power, his efforts would immediately throw it away to the river flowing eastward.
This system is very advanced.
But when Zhu Tong arrived in Oceania, he announced the incident, all of them exploded.
The first is industry. In the eyes of everyone, it is believed that every inch of territory and every inch of territory in Oceania is the industry of Wang Hua. However, now handing over this system is equivalent to handing over more than 95% of the income. Although it is returned to the people, it is unacceptable to everyone.
The second is power. All of this is achieved through Wang Hua's planning. Now Wang Hua's rights are limited so little that he does not even have the right to Wang Hua in the northwest.
So they disagree.
Even Elva Hsiao knew that Wang Hua would carry out some reforms, but he was also not happy to hear what Zhu Tong said.
Zhu Tong had no choice but to negotiate and serve as the prime minister first and handle the affairs. But one of them dared not mention the election of the Zhengtang group. Therefore, he notified Wang Hua that I have no ability to complete this task, so I should wait for you to come to Oceania to deal with it. Otherwise, these people would think that I would tempt you to hand over the rights to me and would tear me away.
The second is population.
By the end of last year, the population had expanded to nine million people, and there were many indigenous people who had not surrendered, which could not be counted.
What makes people most gratifying is that the increase of more than 500,000 newborn babies last year was added. Most of them were the migrant Tang people and the female slaves they collected, and the offspring of them. As slaves that were plundered, they were also a vulnerable group. This was also intentional by Wang Hua. If this is not restricted, they will be people of other races in the future. No matter how good the system is, changes will inevitably occur.
Of course, this does not mean that every baby can grow up and become a human being.
Therefore, Zhu Tong mentioned one thing in his letter: There are many benefits to increasing the population in the short term. The increase in the population will make the stronger the strength. But it is different from Wang Hua's original purpose. If Wang Hua's guess, Li Longji will really take over the power in the end, and the world will be ruled in the early days. In addition, all of them left the Central Plains and there was no one to protect them, so the difficulty of migration increased. Moreover, Li Longji would not watch Wang Hua move a large number of people away. Zhu Tong believes that the population size cannot expand rapidly now and needs to be increased slowly. Otherwise, the proportion of people in the Central Plains will not have an absolute advantage.
However, his opinion has not been recognized by everyone.
Therefore, Zhu Tong notified Wang Hua in advance and asked him to immediately take care of these two things after he arrived in Oceania.
To be continued...
