Qin Shuhuai just like that, followed the Fuji Sanren into the gate.

After entering the door, I walked through the courtyard and walked through several wooden corridors to a large house.

There is a plaque hanging on the lintel of the big house, on which are written "Mingtang" two golden characters.

Mingtang is a place specially used by the Demon Sect to hold banquets and meet distinguished guests. Originally, "Mingtang" was only available in Guangmingding, but after occupying Lanzhou, they also made one here.

After entering, I saw that there was a main seat opposite, which was a wide carved wooden chair of mountains and rivers, which was extremely exquisite.

The people on the seat were one or two people with gray sideburns, deep-set eyes, and protruding bags under their eyes, about fifty years old, slightly emaciated, and looking rather haggard.

However, his eyes are always shining, and his gaze is like a sharp blade of ice, which makes people feel a little cold inexplicably.

Presumably this is the Demon Sect Leader Yan Wuyue.

His breath was extremely steady, and he couldn't see the slightest rise and fall in his chest between his breaths, and it was obvious that his internal strength had reached the point of being superb.

But although his internal strength is profound, he looks emaciated and languishing, and he is obviously suffering from heaven and earth skills.

On both sides of the room, on the left sat Yan Chengzhi, Zhao Wuxian, Mei Yinzhi, and Shen Xi, while on the right sat the two apostles, the fifth apostles, the six apostles, and the seven apostles.

For some reason, the three apostles who had been cut off by Qin Shuhuai did not come.

The room was very large, but there was no wine, presumably the banquet should be in another room.

Obviously, everyone can eat this table of wine if they talk about it, but if they don't talk well, I'm afraid they will drink each other's blood!

After Qin Shuhuai entered, he saw that everyone was just looking at him and didn't speak, so he also chose not to speak.

After a while, the second apostle shouted, "Qin Shuhuai, why don't you salute when you see my sect leader?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled softly, "This seat came to Lanzhou as a guest at the invitation of your sect, even if the host does not greet him politely, he also needs the guests to salute first, this is the first time I have heard of this kind of rule." ”

The second apostle said angrily, "Bold Qin Shuhuai, my sect leader is here, how can you be presumptuous? If you don't bow again, this apostle will teach you what etiquette is!"

Qin Shuhuai said disdainfully, "As the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and the grandfather of the imperial court, why don't you salute this seat?

Yan Wuyue, who had been silent, watched Qin Shuhuai's every move carefully.

This teenager, who has only become famous in the past two years, makes him really curious.

Look at his breathing, that internal force has reached the middle realm?

Looking at his expression, although he is in danger, he is still indifferent, this kind of courage is impressive.

looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he makes people feel that he is a genius who has been famous for a long time.

Putting aside all kinds of visions on him that are unattainable to ordinary people, but this courage is indeed the capital of a dragon and a phoenix.

No wonder Repentance, Shen Xi, Wu Lie and others lobbied all day long to help him ascend the throne as emperor!

Interesting!

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and motioned to the second apostle not to say anything more.

The second apostle saw Yan Wuyue's gesture, and sure enough, he didn't say a word.

Yan Wuyue adjusted her sitting posture, leaned forward slightly, put one arm on her knee halfway, looked at Qin Shuhuai and said, "Qin Alliance Master, it's better to see than to hear, please sit." ”

A waiter immediately brought a chair and put it behind Qin Shuhuai.

Qin Shuhuai said in his heart, it seems that Yan Wuyue's state today is still relatively normal.

That's why Yan regretted letting himself come over today, right?

Thinking of this, he smiled faintly, neither humble nor arrogant, "Thank you Sect Master Yan." ”

Then sit down.

didn't speak, but waited for Yan Wuyue to speak first.

"Qin Alliance Master, do you know why this seat invited you over today?" Yan Wuyue asked.

"Please make it clear to Sect Master Yan. Qin Shuhuai politely let Yan Wuyue say it herself.

Yan Wuyue smiled inexplicably.

"Your and my armies have been holding each other for a long time, I don't know what the Qin Alliance Master has planned?"

Qin Shuhuai replied calmly, "I think peace is precious. ”

At this point, he must say, if he didn't give a gesture of peace talks, with the respect of Yan Wuyue's sect leader, how could he take the initiative to ask for peace talks in front of all his subordinates?

Yan Wuyue paused and said, "This sect raises troops, one is to calm the people, the second is to eliminate violence, and the third is to choose the Holy Lord and help the world. The leader of the Qin Alliance thinks that if there are peace talks, your two armies may reach an agreement on this?"

Qin Shuhuai groaned and said unhurriedly, "Then it depends on what Sect Master Yan thinks." If you talk about peace and security, now that the Liukou have been pacified and the Tartars have retreated, as long as your sect retreats, you can settle the people. If it is said that the violence is eliminated, the violence of the rogues and the Tartars will not be restored to the Central Plains in the future, and the violence of the imperial court lies in Donglin, and the Donglin is removed. As for choosing the Holy Lord to rule the world, but I don't know how your religion defines the word "Holy Lord", if the world is peaceful, the country is rich and the people are strong, I don't know if it is the Holy Lord?"

Yan Wuyue's face was slightly cold and said, "With the change of officials, can the Qin Alliance Lord ensure that the imperial court is no longer brutal and unreasonable?"

Qin Shuhuai asked rhetorically, "Then, if your religion wins the world, will all the officials you change be incorruptible? When your religion helped Zhu Yuanzhang win the world, and Zhu Yuanzhang imitated the rules of your religion and imposed severe punishments on officials all over the world, what happened in the end? Isn't it that corrupt officials are everywhere?"

Yan Chengzhi and the others saw Qin Shuhuai refuting the sect leader mercilessly, and their expressions immediately tensed.

Now the sect leader has a treacherous personality, and if he gets angry, he will be out of control!

However, to their surprise, Yan Wuyue not only did not get angry, but instead showed an expression full of interest.

"Then with the meaning of the Qin Alliance Lord, how should he be governed?"

Qin Shuhuai secretly complained bitterly, and said in his heart that this proposition is really Nima!

How do I know how to deal with it? This question has not been explained for thousands of years, how do I know?

Can it be said that you have to be an official with your conscience?

Well, obviously the egg can't be pulled like that.

After thinking about it, he said, "The root of government is to put power in a cage. This seat believes that absolute power breeds absolute corruption. If we can ensure that officials cannot be greedy and dare not be corrupt, can we truly achieve honesty and integrity. ”

"As for how to do it, this seat has thought of a way, I don't know if Sect Master Yan wants to hear it?"

Yan Wuyue smiled faintly, "Let's say, this seat listens to you." ”

It was clear that he was indeed interested.

Qin Shuhuai said, "If you want to be honest and honest, you need to separate the three powers. These three powers are administrative power, judicial power, and military power. In the past, a governor or governor could concentrate these three powers in one hand, and if he asked the emperor of Tiangao, who would supervise him? Not only did the governor and the governor do so, but the prefects and county orders below, although they did not have military power, they firmly controlled the administrative and criminal powers, that is, in a region, he had the final say on right and wrong, and he said that whoever was guilty was guilty. With such power, who is not corrupt?"

This is simply plagiarizing the doctrine of separation of powers, but Qin Shuhuai combined the reality of the Ming Dynasty and temporarily adapted it.

But it made Yan Chengzhi, Shen Xi, Mei Yinzhi, and even the Five Apostles, Six Apostles, Seven Apostles and others listen to it with relish.

For a group of people who take "peace in the world" as their doctrine and consider themselves "people who are in the world", how can they not be interested in this?

"Anything else?" Yan Wuyue asked again.

Qin Shuhuai racked his brains to recall the high school political textbook again, and continued, "And if the three powers are separated, such as the local criminal departments, if they are not under the jurisdiction of the county orders, prefects, and even governors, but are directly under the jurisdiction of the criminal department, and their money is not received from the local area, but directly sent from the capital. In this way, they can decide cases independently. ”

"Local officials, on the other hand, can only be responsible for governance, and even if the people have a holiday with them, they can't just arrest people, but ask the local magistrate to sentence them. Because the punishment is not under the control of local officials or even superintendents, they can enforce the law impartially without looking at the faces of local officials!"

"In this way, is it much more difficult for officials to bully the people?"

This new, even earth-shattering idea made everyone present bow slightly—except for the absent-minded Second Apostle.

But after hearing Yan regret, he asked again, "Then, who will supervise the criminal officers, and what if they are corrupt and pervert the law?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "That's a good question." The position of a criminal officer is very important, and in order to prevent the criminal officer from engaging in favoritism and irregularities to harm the people, there are two ways to do so. First, it is necessary for the criminal officer of the Supervision Department of the Supervision of the Imperial History to review the case files every six months, and if unjust, false and wrongful cases are found, the criminal officer can be held accountable. Second, in order to prevent fraud by local criminal judges, it is possible to stipulate that ordinary people have two chances to appeal. If the county criminal department finds him guilty, he can appeal to the provincial or state criminal department, and if it is a major homicide, he can continue to appeal to the provincial criminal department. ”

After all, if a person wants to get through the county, government, and provincial criminal departments, and these three levels of criminal departments happen to be corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it should be very difficult, right?"

"This is true for punishment and administration, and so is military power. Military power is directly under the control of the military sub-districts, not under the jurisdiction of the governor, so that the governor has no army even if he has a large amount of taxes. Although the army has soldiers, it needs money and food from the central government. Moreover, the garrison areas were changed between the armies every once in a while, and it was difficult for them to collude with the governors. ”

"In this way, it will be difficult to have a rebellion. If there is no rebellion, will not the people be at peace?"

Qin Shuhuai finished all his thoughts in one go.

After saying that, he himself was shocked.

When I went, how did I say that I even believed myself?

The Ming Dynasty can't engage in a constitutional monarchy, a parliamentary system, and a republican system, but it seems that this improved version of the separation of powers can be done?

Although this cannot fundamentally solve the problem, it is certainly a big step closer to the democratic republic, right? If this foundation can be laid, how future generations will evolve is a matter for future generations!

At least ten times better than the current supervision system!

No matter how you say that you are from hundreds of years later, you may not be able to break the officials here by playing political tricks, but in terms of the design of the political system, it is enough for them to be ten streets in seconds!

Well, go back and think about it, this thing looks like a lot of fun!

Uh, think too much.

Let's think about how to go back first......

He finished speaking dryly, and then looked at Yan Wuyue.

Yan Wuyue didn't speak.

The others were silent.

I have to say that the "separation of powers" mentioned by Qin Shuhuai has completely exceeded their imagination.

It can be said that they never imagined that the rulers could do this.

After a while, Yan Wuyue suddenly smiled.

"What a Great Ming Demon!" he looked up, took a deep breath, and then said, "So, you're ready to be the emperor?"

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Qin Shuhuai knew very well that even if Yan Wuyue wanted to cooperate with him, he would inevitably propose to enter the Forbidden City with him, and then punish the entire Chongzhen clan.

Of course he wouldn't allow that to happen.

How?

One word: drag!

Wait for the empress to do it!

Let the Demon Sect die a group of masters first, and then talk to the rest!

Obviously, when the two apostles go out, it is the time for the empress to do it!
