Chapter 278: The King is Under the Law

(Diligence and perseverance.) The above paragraph, after thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that it feels like borrowing the sentence of "The Book of Songs, Daya, King Wen".

In addition, the four words 'Jijiduoshi' are the original text. It's not a repetition, it's an overlay tone. It's like we say, 'Very, very much.'" )

Zhang Hao also stood on the second step of the ladder, the same height as Zhao Duo. Today, only Liu Xinyu and the guards around him can stand on the highest place.

Listening to Zhao Duo's magnificent voice, Zhang Hao was a little convinced: Sure enough, he is a talent who is the prime minister, and this voice has its own rendering.

The decree is short, but the meaning is thought-provoking.

This time, I didn't talk about anything like obeying heaven's orders, and when I came up, I said "the destiny of heaven is unusual", and added a sentence of 'its destiny is renewed'. This sentence is translated in a sentence that everyone is familiar with: The destiny of heaven is not enough to fear, and the ancestors are not enough to law! I am going to change my life against the heavens today!

Then he said: The reason why the country of Qixia was able to turn danger into disaster this time was not because of the mandate of heaven, but because the soldiers used their lives and everyone worked together to resist the invasion, and the reason why our country was restored and stabilized was because it was brought out! It was not rewarded by the mandate of heaven.

Finally, it is said that the industrious, enterprising, dignified, noble, generous, and prestigious empress has ascended the throne and called the emperor, and the empress's name is: faith - and this is also the character of the empress, past, present, and future.

Every emperor has his own "number", and Liu Xinyu's "emperor name" is "Xinde". Integrity, kindness.

After Zhao Duo finished speaking, he changed the holy decree and took out the second volume of "Holy Decree". But it is not the word 'holy decree' written on it, but the word "constitution".

Zhao Duo spoke again, "The Constitution is the outline of the country. He said: The country should be governed by the rule of law, the country should be governed by law, the monarchy should be constitutional, and the king should be under the law!"

As soon as these words came out, the people were in an uproar. This is even more shocking than the empress's accession to the throne.

But some people who understand national politics are shocked by these 25 words. Especially the last "King under the Law", which can be called groundbreaking.

Liu Xinyu stood on a high place, her face calm with a faint, rather majestic smile. As an empress, if she wants to secure this position, she will have to make some compromises.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Xinyu does have a mind, vision, and ambition that countless emperors can't reach!

How can one become a representative of a class? Is it high? That is impossible! The emperor who is high above must be the enemy of all! That is the real loner.

Everything in this world is like a kite, no matter how high it flies, it needs a rope to lead, which is the root, the responsibility, and the core of a country.

The only pleasure of a high emperor is to intrigue with the country under his rule, he is on the opposite side of his country, and he will forget the responsibility of the state.

And an emperor who stands in the world can truly lead the whole country forward. Such an emperor is the commander-in-chief.

Sometimes, giving up doesn't mean giving up. Because I gave up, I got more.

In fact, Liu Xinyu is not sure whether he is doing this correctly, but Zhang Hao's explanation is very reasonable. The most important thing is that Liu Xinyu has seen the situation in the country of Qixia in the past, and also seen the situation in other countries, and everyone is going around in circles.

No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be!

What the past of the country of Qixia was like, everyone knows in their hearts - half-dead.

Zhang Hao's suggestions would almost certainly not work in other countries, and no emperor wanted to be restricted. The law of every country is the "royal law", and the so-called royal law is to serve the emperor, and the emperor is the core of the royal law.

So, the king is above the law!

But Liu Xinyu accepted Zhang Hao's suggestion. Because the country of Qixia can no longer be bad, the country of Qixia has not many choices, and Liu Xinyu has been instilled with the concept of "national crisis" since he was a child, coupled with the recent series of wars, etc., which finally contributed to Liu Xinyu's decision:

Constitutional monarchy, the king under the law!

The law at this moment is no longer the law of kings, and of course, in this world, it cannot be regarded as civil law. It can only be described as a 'constitution'.

As these twenty-five words were read, Xu Jie, who was standing not far from Zhang Hao, trembled with excitement. He clasped his hands together, trying to restrain his agitation.

As a disciple of Legalism, Xu Jie is eager to make a contribution. But Xu Jie didn't expect that in the most remote corner of the known world, with his assistance, a constitution and a constitutional monarchy were born.

This is the pinnacle of Legalism. The constitutional monarchy and the king under the law have surpassed the ideological system of the Legalists in the past. Xu Jie can't wait to return to the East now, and say loudly to his friends, senior brothers, and teachers: I have created a new era!

Well, in fact, half of the contribution of this new change should be attributed to Zhang Hao. But that didn't stop Xu Jie from getting excited.

Zhao Duo paused for a long time, and waited for the exclamation below to gradually calm down before continuing to read aloud: "Article 1 of the Constitution: The lawful property of the people is sacred and inviolable.

Article 2 of the Constitution: Repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness!

Article 3 of the Constitution: The country shall be governed by the rule of law and the rule of law, and everyone shall act in accordance with the law.

Article 4 of the Constitution: The State encourages the legitimate development of industry and commerce.

Article 5 of the Constitution ......"

Zhao Duo stood in front of the stage and read aloud the first constitution in history. Many of them may still be primitive, but this is the constitution after all, not the royal law.

Millions of people at the scene went from shock at the beginning to cheers at the end. Most of them may not know much about the legal system, but at least they know that this new empress is different and thinks about everyone.

It took half a day to read a constitution, which included the country's legal system, state system, state structure, development direction, and so on. In particular, it is clearly stipulated that the definition of taxation is: taken from the people and used by the people.

In the Constitution, military personnel are more clearly defined, their rights are guaranteed, and a system of universal military service is also stipulated - taking into account the situation in the world, the Constitution stipulates that all people over the age of 18, regardless of gender, high or low, must undergo military training for three months every three years. In the event of another national crisis, all the people can be soldiers.

At the end of this enthronement ceremony, Zhao Duo announced that talents would be screened from the people, and after unified training, those who passed the examination began to be arranged to various positions in the country.

After a war, the officials in Qixia's country suffered great losses and could no longer ensure the basic operation of the country, and a large number of families were liquidated, and most of the remaining families put on a non-violent and non-cooperative appearance, which made Liu Xinyu have to make drastic reforms again.

I'm sorry, but we've found a new way to govern the country -- in the future, it's no longer about people, it's about law.

Yes, even governing the country according to the law requires talents, but because there is a law, officials only need to exercise it according to the law, which is much simpler, and greatly reduces the requirements for officials.

It can even be said that in the general environment of governing the country according to law, it is best for officials to be stupid and not learn to exploit loopholes in the law and abuse power for personal gain every day.

At noon, the enthronement ceremony ended, and Liu Xinyu and the officials withdrew, but the people stayed here and talked about it.

It was an unprecedented enthronement ceremony. The empress did not worship the heavens, but made the constitution public once, and also established a people-oriented social system.

This is a huge step forward, and many people are pleasantly surprised but don't realize what it means.

Civilization has begun to enter a new stage. And the country of Qixia has led this new era.

The eyes of the industrial and commercial class are shining. Many of these people have already been in contact with the Ocean Group and have heard some of the sayings, and they are the most cheering after hearing the content of the Constitution at this time.

There is no mention of aristocracy in the constitution - Liu Xinyu does not dare to say openly for the time being, 'I am against aristocracy'. But there is no mention in the constitution, which in itself is a statement - on the side of the country of Qixia, there will be no nobles in the future.

However, he said that after Liu Xinyu and others returned to the temporary station, they began to discuss the issue of building a capital.

Some people say that it was built on the old site, some people say that they found another address, which was originally ominous, and some people say that they simply moved the capital directly and moved the capital to the east to 'Jianwu County'.

Jianwu County, this name is good, and moving the capital to the east can also show the empress your divine martial arts. Especially since we have just defeated the country of Jinyang, the significance of our relocation of the capital this time is extraordinary.

Everyone quarreled, but in the end, Liu Xinyu made a decision: "Move the capital to Jianwu County!" and order the Ministry of Industry to start selecting a site to build the capital. ”

Liu Xinyu was sure, and immediately a piece of praise floated in.

But Liu Xinyu's gaze drifted to Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, you don't seem to have opened your mouth in this discussion?"
