Chapter 401: The Old Man Jumps Into the Pit
Liu Xing decided, even if he was scolded for being Cao Cao, he couldn't let his Mr. Hu speak again.
Even if he really does Cao Cao, he must turn this Central Plains into a place of rule of law, and establish the country by law instead of by the king's road. The old system of governing the country according to the law, and not allowing the king to change it at will, and the king's law is like child's play at any time, will continue to be followed.
As soon as this determination was made, Liu Xing immediately stared at Hu Anguo coldly when his voice fell: "Mr. Hu, I don't want to sell my name to learn from Mengde, but this rule of law in the world is the ancestral law handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Why, if anyone wants to be legally safe in the world, must be Cao Mengde? ”
Hearing this, Hu Anguo heard that Liu Xing was angry, but he still insisted on his own views and stubbornly said: "The rule of law in the world is precious, and the way of the king cannot be abolished." ”
Seeing that the old gentleman was so stubborn, Liu Xing was angry in his heart but couldn't help but said: "But when there is a conflict between the way of the king and the rule of law, or even the same situation. Mr. Hu, do you think it is the fundamental Fa University that protects the rights and interests of the whole people and represents the people of the world? Or is the so-called divine authority of the monarch simply a way for a king who enslaves all the people of the world with one surname? ”
Hearing this, Hu Anguo was suddenly asked rhetorically and didn't know how to respond.
The rule of law in the world, what Liu Xing said has made very clear is that a set of basic laws should be established not to protect Liu Xing, but to protect all the people in the world.
From this point of view, the rule of law in the world has the upper hand on the basis of morality and the principles of all the people in the world.
However, if the way of the king is really wasted, the concepts of "eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the king" and "the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die" that Hu Anguo has learned from the Confucian classics over the years will be completely destroyed like a dream.
But he also knows very well that the faint monarch treats the law and discipline as child's play and acts recklessly, and it is not just an emperor of Song Huizong for thousands of years. The Confucianism he learned also allowed Confucian students to lay the foundation for the livelihood of the people in the world and the welfare of all people.
How to choose between the two. Now I don't see the conflict between the king and the law immediately, but it makes Juan Guo himself contradict in his heart, and the conflict is extreme, and he naturally doesn't know how to respond for a while.
Seeing that the stubborn and conservative old gentleman didn't know how to respond, Liu Xing's eyes rolled and he changed to a smile and said: "If Mr. is worried that the king's road will be completely abolished in the future, resulting in the monarch not being the king, and the minister not being the minister." Let the world be in chaos. That's easy to do, it's easy to do, and the post of Governor of the House of Lords has not yet been elected by the councillors who have just taken office. ”
As he spoke, Liu Xing turned to Hu Anguo, and then said: "The power to legislate belongs to the consultation, if you are not at ease, let you run for election." I believe that there is no one in our court today in terms of prestige and knowledge, and there are still people who can compete with you. As long as you are the governor of the Senate, you are in charge of the legislation. Such. You should rest assured, right? ”
The 327 members of the Upper House and the 2,129 members of the House of Representatives have now arrived in Wutai City.
In addition to Yang Yizhong, Liu Qi, Liu Xi, Wu Jue, Wu Lan, Liu Ziyu, and other people who had military positions and were defending the frontier outside, even the sons of Wang Mingde and Hu Anguo, who were governors, also rushed to Wutai.
They had only one purpose, to convene the first plenary meeting of the Royal Council of the Great Song Dynasty.
The system of consultation was formulated by Liu Xing, and it is now well implemented and implemented at the local level, and it has truly done a good job of helping and helping local officials well, and at the same time supervising the functions of local officials together with Yushi and Tiancewei.
But those counselors from the seven provinces, from the past dozen or so roads. When Liu Xing asked them to nominate and elect candidates for the posts of governors and co-governors of the upper and lower houses, those people immediately showed the nature of the localist mentality of the great Chinese nation.
I pushed one out of the former Jingbei Road. The others immediately formed a coalition to oppose it. One from the East Shandong Road was elected, well, even the counselors of the East and West Roads of Shandong, who are now under the same governor's rule, stood up and shouted disagree for the benefit of their locality......
This is a tradition, and this is a tradition formed by the regionalist ideology of the great Chinese nation. At the same time, it is also a manifestation of selfishness.
Those who opposed the Jingbei Road election were not elected solely because of the shortcomings of that person. The most important thing is that once that person is elected. Must have some power in his hands.
According to the habitual thinking of these people, whoever has power in his hands and is supported by the councils on his side of the land, that person must strive for the maximum benefit of that place after gaining power.
Once the interests of another place are maximized, it will naturally affect other places and cause the interests of other places to suffer.
Struggle for power and profit. That's the root cause.
Liu Xing is well aware of this reason, but he has never figured out what to do in order to weigh this fundamental reason. Of course, this is not a compromise, because the original intention of fairness is to let the public admit and agree, and try to achieve a balance of interests in the interests of everyone.
At such a time when he was worried about the choice of governors of the two houses of the council, it happened that Hu Anguo stood up to sing a confrontation with himself on the matter of the king and the rule of law, and Liu Xing immediately thought of the idea of letting the old gentleman become the governor of the council.
When he said these words to Hu Anguo, Liu Xing was thinking in his heart: Didn't you shout that you were afraid that the laws I formulated would completely abolish the royal road?
Wow, you go and legislate for me. But after you go, you will find out, in fact, you are just a person who takes the lead in raising your hand, because you can't do the legislation that the master wants, I will pull a group of military, political and businessmen to give you a no!
When the time comes, hehe, my sir, you will know that no matter how prestigious and knowledgeable you are, you can only be led by the nose by a group of military, political and business people......
"Good! I'll go, I'll go! Since you are willing to let me make the constitution that you have spoken, in order not to make the royal way a child's play, and to ensure that my dynasty does not deviate from the rules, I will run for the Governor of the Senate. Hu Anguo is not wise, he can't know what Liu Xing is thinking, and when Liu Xing finished speaking, he immediately brushed his sleeves and took over the matter of running for governor of the House of Lords.
Seeing that the old gentleman jumped into another big pit he had dug without thinking about it, Liu Xing wanted to laugh and was very helpless.
The reason why this is a big hole is because Liu Xing has already proposed the first resolution in the Senate and let the House of Representatives vote on it.
That is, no one who holds the office of governor, co-counsellor, or counsellor of the Senate shall continue to hold office in the cabinet so as not to make the legislation of the public under the control of the courtiers.
The reason why I want to laugh is that the old gentleman will know how difficult it is to do that position, and the helpless reason is that he doesn't want to pit people, but he always has to pit people, and this time he also pit on the gentleman who was kind to him. When he goes, the position of the second assistant has nothing to do with him, and the official position of Shangshu is also out of his share...... (To be continued......)
