In the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City, another long conversation has just ended.

One side of this long talk is Zhu Jishi, the son of the Great Tomorrow, and the other side is Liu Peng, the right prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. The content of the conversation was also about the election of the Constituent Assembly. Although this Prime Minister Liu did not publicly support Zhu Jishi at the meeting of the Jinshen Palace, everyone knows that he is Zhu Jishi's confidant and descendant, and not standing on Zhu Jishi's side in the Jinshen Palace is actually what Zhu Jishi means - the Imperial City Public School is something that Zhu Jishi can decide in a word, Liu Peng has no need to come forward, and what really needs him to contribute is the future election of the Constituent Assembly after the unification of the country.

Although this Constituent Assembly only has the power of recommendation and impeachment, it is the key to whether Zhu Jishi can control the cabinet. If the Constituent Assembly is not in the hands of Zhu Jishi, then he will have to face the cabinet alone, and the cabinet can either openly resist the will of Zhu Datianzi or disobey the will. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, most of the time, the emperor had nothing to do with the cabinet, and had no choice but to rely on eunuchs and Jinyi guards to rule by spies.

And now, Zhu Jishi has another choice, that is, a parliament that represents the will of the people.

As for the specific method of controlling the parliament, it is embarrassing to say it, as a traveler, Emperor Zhu doesn't know much, and can only rely on his beloved Yanma to come up with ideas - she is a celebrity in French politics, and she is clear about the shady French parliamentary election. In the later generations where Zhu Jishi lived, the constitutionalism had already embarked on the evil path of MZ, so the advanced countries had abandoned the MZ constitutionalism, and Zhu Jishi certainly didn't know much. And the parliamentary constitutionalism of this era is not MZ's, but an instrument of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, and certainly not an evil way. Therefore, the Ming Empire can learn from this system.

According to the approach of the Great Yanmar. To take control of the Constituent Assembly. It was necessary to form a political party first, because it was royalist, and Maria suggested that it be called royalists. However, the word "party" had a negative meaning in China at this time, so it was renamed "Ming Royalist Society". The Royalist Society will be a modern bourgeois party, of course, different from the traditional party of friends, with stricter discipline and regulations, and a leading body of the party, "committees", which can obtain sufficient political funds for elections, propaganda or other political activities through the collection of donations (mainly royal donations). Of course, this does not include the "high-level" political struggle of armed struggle.

And in order to form a political party, of course, it is necessary to have party members. The royalist party is not everyone's want, the first thing is to attract politicians to join, but politicians who join the royalist society must swear to obey the leader of the royalist society, the Ming Emperor, even if it is a politician in the old era, as long as they obey the emperor, they can also join.

The second thing to absorb is the elite of the industrial and commercial circles, and the royalist association is positioned as a bourgeois elite party, so it is natural to attract businessmen to join the association and act as financiers.

Thirdly, intellectuals with a Western-educated background were also actively targeted by the Royalist Society, although they were not very visible at the moment. But in the future, he will definitely become a man of the year in the Ming Dynasty and business.

But the royalists don't want everyone. The Royalist Society does not admit soldiers into the association! According to the provisions of the "Model of Daming Army and Navy Soldiers", soldiers are not party! Active-duty military personnel cannot join any political party, organization, or group. Those who have already joined must withdraw or retire within a time limit. Similarly, according to the Daming Political Parties (Associations) Law, no political party organization or group is allowed to recruit military party (association) members.

Zhu Jishi, the emperor who came out of the barrel of a gun, wanted to use the rest of his life to establish a Jinyuan political system that separated the military from the government, because Zhu Jishi was sure to leave a super-wealth empire to future generations. As long as the tradition and rules of political power in a money bag are established, the Zhu dynasty can continue to be a nation.

Once you have enough members, it's natural to get promoted. In later generations, no matter what kind of political party it is, propaganda must be placed in a very important position. In particular, those bourgeois parties that do not have guns live by fooling people. The Daming Royalist Society is no exception, but fortunately, Zhu Jishi is far-sighted and has already run a large number of newspapers such as "Ta Kung Pao", "Daming Times", "Hong Bao", "Industrial and Commercial Daily", etc., and has also set up a Jishi Newspaper Company to be responsible for these newspapers, and now these newspapers are naturally the mouthpiece of the Royalist Society. In addition to newspapers, the royalists could also organize speeches, tea parties, drinking parties and other events to promote their ideas and win supporters.

The purpose of the propaganda was to elect, and the re-election of the provincial public bureaus and the Constituent Assembly would be held within two years after the Ming Dynasty basically unified the interior. The Ming Royalist Society must win this election and become the master of the provincial bureaus and the Ming Constituent Assembly. In this way, Zhu Jishi will be able to command the cabinet according to his own wishes and promote various new policies.

The mission of organizing the Royalist Society, preparing for future elections and helping the emperor control the parliament, was entrusted to Liu Peng, for which Zhu Jishi also asked him to resign from the post of prime minister and concentrate on the activities of the Royalist Society, China's first modern political party.

……

"Why doesn't the emperor sleep yet? In a few days, I will go to the expedition in person, and I don't know how much hardship I have to endure here, so why don't you take advantage of the time to recuperate? ”

In the dead of night, there was silence in the Qianqing Palace, but there were still people talking in Zhu Jishi's bedroom, and it was Queen Luo Xiangmei who went to bed tonight.

Zhu Jishi turned his head sideways, smiled at his wife, whose thoughts were still stuck in the 19th century (nonsense, now it is the 19th century), and sighed: "I can't sleep...... This Northern Expedition, when we can recover Shandong, Henan, Zhili, Shanxi and Beijing, even if we don't recover the land of Shaanxi and Gansu for the time being, I will basically recover tomorrow. But now it is different from the era of Emperor Taizu, and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty is just the beginning, and there are too many things to do in the future. ”

Luo Xiangmei frowned slightly, what else will happen after the unification of the world? Shouldn't it be a rest with the people? The current Ming Dynasty is different from the previous dynasties, the royal family is rich in the world, and the construction of the palace and the filial piety mausoleum do not take a penny from the people, such a royal family is no better for the people of the world. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty now has a cabinet system, and the trivial matters in the court are handled by the cabinet led by Zuo Zongtang, and the emperor's government affairs are really not much.

In the future, the world will be quiet and the people will be happy, and the emperor's affairs should be to play leisurely with the concubines, and at the same time put a general direction in the government and politics? What else is there to worry about?

Seeing the queen's puzzled face, Zhu Jishi smiled slightly bitterly, sure enough, he only had a common language with Yanma. He said in a deep tone: "You still don't understand how sinister the current situation is, now is not the time of Emperor Taizu, and the future will be a new era, and you can't use the old thinking anymore...... But in our country, the old thinking is deeply rooted, two thousand years of autocracy, some problems have entered the bone marrow, if not corrected in the next few decades, do not come up with a new system that can be stable for a long time, and when Xiong'er takes over, it will face a bloody storm, and my Ming will also overturn! ”

Luo Xiangmei was a little stunned by his words, and asked puzzledly: "Then why doesn't the emperor train Xiong'er into a generation of heroes......

Zhu Jishi sat up from the bed, gently wrapped his wife around his chest, and patiently explained: "It's not a question of whether the British lord is the British lord or not, but the rules of the bloody power struggle for two thousand years must be changed!" In the old days, the British lords were ruthless and decisive...... But the times are different, the wisdom will open, the west wind is moving eastward, the monarchy has declined in the whole world, and it is impossible to achieve a generation of British lords by killing and killing. I must establish a new rule for the sake of the male and future generations. If this new rule is not established in my lifetime, I would rather abandon the empire and become a republic instead! ”

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about......" Luo Xiangmei almost suspected that something was wrong with her ears. Zhu Jishi said seriously: "Empress, don't worry, I am ninety percent sure that I can succeed, and our descendants will definitely be able to rule the Ming Dynasty for a long time, but you must obey my arrangement, you must listen, for the sake of whether Xiong'er can be the emperor in peace and stability in the future." Listen, after my personal conquest, you will be the regent, and you can summon Zuo Zongtang and Luo Zenan openly, and you can also provide them with financial support......" (To be continued......
