Chapter 399: Abolish the Emperor's Constitution
If they rebel against each other, they will definitely die.
In the past, Lu Wu's two daughters killed themselves to seize power, and then Li Shimin's Xuanwumen mutiny killed his brother and forced his father to give way. There are many royal internal killings in the distant wars, and there is the legend of Taizong and Taizu's "candle shadow axe" in the near future.
This is what selfishness and greed are destined to give birth to in human nature, and it is also the inevitable abandonment of ethics. Because of fame, fortune and power, no one can escape the temptation of supremacy.
Because no matter how much you shout the truth in your mouth, in the final analysis, you are surviving for your own selfish interests. As long as it is out of selfish interests, when faced with life and death, it will inevitably turn against relatives and kill all opponents, and often ignore the ethical program.
These bloody and red fruit historical facts are put there, so Zong Ze asked Liu Xing how he was going to deal with the rebellious ministers and thieves and the grandson of the planter.
The reason why he asked like this, Liu Xing is actually very clear.
The name of the four generations of the farmer has long been well known and can even be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
For the loyal family, even the emperors of the former Great Song Dynasty did not dare to kill easily.
Because once anyone in power dares to kill Zhongliang, he will inevitably be indignant and scolded by the government and the opposition as brutal and unkind. Which emperor dares to accidentally fight those so-called loyal and virtuous will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the ministers and then lead to instability in the court.
It's just that the prime minister, Liu Xing is not the emperor yet, and he doesn't have the moral privilege of really saying what he says and those who oppose me die.
What's more, the so-called Zhongliang that you have to face now is the Zhongliang who grew up in other people's homes, eats other people's food, and wears other people's clothes!
Kill, definitely not. It is both unbearable and reluctant.
For Liu Xing. Although there was not a lot of contact with implants in the past. That teacher's uncle has been cultivating in the mountains behind the Leopard Forest Valley, and he has only seen it seven or eight times in total. But after all, he is the uncle of the planter, and the planter decided that he couldn't really kill his relatives because of his kindness.
There is also a kind of Yanling, the little girl who would rush out to help her when she was bullied by her classmates when she was young, and the little girl who often secretly gave herself delicious food.
The little girl who dragged Liu Xing's little hand to play every day when she was suffering from the eyes of others, the little lady who had endless love and endless tenderness.
To kill them, there is no need to plant family members and people in the world. Liu Xing knew that he would first let himself fall into endless remorse and endless self-blame in the future.
If you can't get over your conscience, you can't do that.
So after Zong Ze's questioning, Liu Xing pondered for a moment and said: "Capture the father and son of the seed family alive and slaughter the thieves in Bianjing." Spread out the patrol roads, and get rid of the rebels. ”
"Ahh
Zong Ze was stunned, Hu Anguo was stunned, and the cabinet officials in the hall were also stunned.
What stunned them was that the reason was nothing else, but in their memory, this was the first time since Liu Xing took charge of the government that the decision to slaughter the city and destroy the gate was made.
In the past, when he committed great rape and surrendered to the golden dog, he killed many of his own compatriots, but Liu Xing just killed the first evil and arrested his people and threw them into the indoctrination camp. More often than not, they are simply driven out of their homes and turned the families of those sinners into a bunch of beggars who are left unattended.
In the past, even if he treated the officials of the Southern Dynasty who were mortal enemies, and even the clansmen of the Golden Dog, Liu Xing was only three generations of "five nos" at most. Or become a "cross slave". There has never really been an order for massacres or exterminations.
All these things in the past have made the cabinet members in the hall already form an impression of Liu Xing in their hearts: this Taifu is very evil. But it is very respectful of human life. He seems to be fierce and vicious, but in fact he is very loving and compassionate.
But now, now for the first time, Liu Xing has said that he wants to destroy the gate and slaughter the city, how can this not be shocking.
"But、But Your Majesty is still in Bianjing!" Soon, sobering up from the shock, Juan Guo said a difficult problem.
Of course, that problem is only what he thinks, not what Liu Xing thinks.
Hearing the old gentleman's words, Liu Xing smiled coldly and said, "Your Majesty, that Your Majesty has gone crazy, three times a day." If we can make him Your Majesty, he will be Your Majesty. A madman, Mr. Hu, Zong Shuai, and all the cabinet officials, are you still willing to let a madman be Your Majesty? ”
A madman, everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all couldn't help but think: Yes! King Xin is crazy, this is already a secret that cannot be said, but the whole world knows.
Does it still make sense to let a madman continue to be the emperor, or a puppet emperor who may immediately become the head of the grandson of the family and the hands of a group of rebellious ministers and thieves?
With that emperor here, it's not much use, it's just a symbol of imperial power. Without that emperor, as long as Taifu Liu is there, the new policy will still continue, and the Great Song Dynasty will still be strong......
They thought so in their hearts, but no one dared to say what they thought in their hearts.
Only Zong Ze was slightly stunned, and then opened his mouth and said to Liu Xing: "Then the world cannot be left without a master for a day, if you depose the monarch in the name of the Heavenly Council, who does Taifu want to rule the world?" ”
Temptation, as soon as he said this, not only Liu Xing, but everyone quickly understood that the old marshal was testing Liu Xing.
The words of the Southern Dynasties are still in my ears, and the words of Meng De are still circulating in secret. Although Liu Xing's actions in these days made the ministers in the hall unable to see that Liu Xing had any ambitions to usurp power and become emperor.
There is a saying that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the more shrewd people are, the more they will harbor evil intentions, and people can't see half of the clues. Who is sure that Liu Xing really doesn't want to be in a yellow robe at all? Who dares to guarantee that Liu Xing doesn't want to stand on behalf of Song?
It's a pity that everyone, including Zong Ze, once again thought wrong.
Liu Xing's heart is really not usurping the country at all, because Liu Xing has always looked down on the imperial system from the bottom of his heart and from the bottom of his bones.
Who would risk doing things that they look down on, that they will inevitably be jealous and scolded, that they will not be ruined and besieged?
Everyone thought wrong, Zong Ze came to test, and Liu Xing thought that it was time for him to say what he was really thinking in his heart.
"Abolish the letter of the king, and change the letter to the prince. The king of Dading County was established as the new monarch, and Zhao Bocong, the son of Zhao Ziyan, the prince of Liqing, was the crown prince. Liu Xingzheng said in a deep voice that the decision was made first.
Then he looked around at everyone and said what he thought in his heart: "After the new monarch ascends the throne, it is officially determined that the imperial power will only be limited to the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in the future, and he has the right to abolish the prime minister and the law. Percent of the country's taxes go to the royal family, and the royal family is not allowed to ask more about the rest. Only by completely handing over the power of the world to the cabinet can we ensure that there will be as few rebellions as possible today. ”
After a word, without giving others a chance to speak, Liu Xing immediately said: "The monarchy is constitutional, the country is based on constitutionalism, and the king is only the image and symbol of the dignity of the country, and it must not be used as a privileged nobleman who enslaves and oppresses all the people. Three days later, the first meeting of the upper and lower houses of the Great Song Dynasty Consultative Council was held, and the House of Representatives discussed the constitution and the national law.
