Chapter 279 The King Is Under the Law

(亹wei, diligent and untiring, and moving forward. The above paragraph, after thinking about it for a long time, still feels like borrowing the sentence from "The Book of Songs · Daya · King Wen".

In addition, the four characters "Jijiduoshi" are the original text. This is not repetition, but a superimposed tone. It's like we said 'very, very much'. )

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

Hearing Zhao Duo's majestic voice, Zhang Hao admired him a little: he really is a prime minister, and his voice is all exaggerated.

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

This time, there was no such thing as obeying the heavens and accepting the fate, and just said "the destiny is unchanging" and added "his fate is renewed". This sentence can be translated into a sentence that everyone is familiar with: the destiny is not to be feared, and the ancestors are not to be law-abiding! I'm going to change my life against the sky today!

Then he said: The reason why the country of Qixia was saved from danger this time was not because of the destiny, but because the soldiers worked hard and everyone worked together to resist the invasion. The reason why our country recovered and stabilized was because of fighting! It is not a gift from destiny.

Finally, it is said that the hard-working, dignified, noble, generous, and famous empress has ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor. The empress's name is: Faith—and this is also the empress's character, past, present, and future.

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

After Zhao Duo finished speaking, he changed the imperial edict and took out the second volume "Imperial Edict". But what is written on this imperial decree is not the word "imperial decree", but "constitution".

Zhao Duo spoke again, "The imperial constitution is the outline of the country. It says: rule the country by law, rule the country by law, the monarchy establishes a constitution, and the king is under the law!"

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

But those who understand national politics are shocked by these twenty-five words. Especially the last "The King Is Under the Law" can be called the beginning of the world.

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

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

How can one become a representative of a class? High above you? That's impossible! The supreme emperor must be everyone's enemy! That's true lonership.

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

For a high-ranking emperor, the only pleasure is to fight against the country under his rule. He is on the opposite side of his own country, and he will forget the responsibility of the country.

Only an emperor standing in the world can truly lead the whole country forward. Such an emperor is the commander in chief.

Sometimes, giving up does not mean giving up. Because of giving up, I got more.

In fact, Liu Xinyu wasn't sure if he was doing the right thing, but Zhang Hao's explanation made sense. The most important thing is that Liu Xinyu has seen the situation of Qixia Country in the past, and also saw the situation of other countries, and everyone is circling in circles.

No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be! Take a gamble!

Everyone knows what the past of the Qixia Kingdom was like—half dead.

Zhang Hao's suggestions are almost certainly not feasible in other countries, and no emperor wants to be restricted. The laws of every country are "laws of the king". The so-called laws of the king serve the emperor, and the emperor is the core of the law of the king.

Therefore, the king is above the law!

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

A constitutional monarchy, the king is under the law!

The law at this moment is no longer the king's law; of course, in this world, it cannot be regarded as civil law. It can only be described as the 'Constitution'.

Following the reading of these twenty-five characters, Xu Jie, who was standing not far from Zhang Hao, trembled with excitement. He put his hands together, trying to restrain his excitement.

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

This is Legalism at its peak. The constitutional monarchy and the king under the law have surpassed the legalist system of thought in the past. Xu Jie can't wait to go back to the east now, and say loudly to his friends, brothers and teachers: I have created a new era!

Well, in fact, half of the contribution of this new change should belong to Zhang Hao. But this did not prevent Xu Jie from being 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 legal property of the people is sacred and inviolable.

Article 2 of the Constitution: Repay kindness with kindness, and repay grievances with straightness!

Article 3 of the Constitution: Govern the country by law and rule the country by law. The king is under the law, and everyone must act in accordance with the law.

Article 4 of the Constitution: The state encourages legal industrial and commercial development.

Article V of the Constitution..."

Zhao Duo stood in front of the stage and recited the first ever constitution. Perhaps many of them are still original, but this is the constitution after all, not the law of the king.

Millions of people at the scene were shocked from 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 queen is different and she is thinking of everyone.

It took half a day to read a constitution, which includes the legal system, national system, national structure, development direction, etc. of the country. In particular, it clearly stipulates that the definition of taxation is: it is taken from the people and used for the people.

In the constitution, soldiers are more clearly defined, the rights of soldiers are guaranteed, and the system of universal military service is also stipulated. Considering the situation in this world, the constitution stipulates that all people who have reached the age of 18, regardless of gender, high or low, Three years must accept a three-month military training. Once the crisis of national subjugation occurs again, the whole people can be turned into soldiers.

At the end of the enthronement ceremony this time, Zhao Duo announced that talents would be selected from the private sector, and after unified training, those who passed the examination would be assigned to various positions in the country.

After a war, Qixia's domestic officials suffered great losses, and it was no longer possible to guarantee the basic operation of the country; in addition, a large number of families were liquidated, and most of the remaining families showed a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, which made Liu Xinyu have to Another drastic reform.

Your aristocratic family controls the talents? Sorry, we have found a new way to govern the country—in the future, we will no longer rely on people to govern, but rely on laws.

Yes, even the rule of law requires talents, but because of the law, officials only need to act 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 the rule of law, it is best for officials to be a little stupid, and not to learn to exploit loopholes in the law every day, to use power for personal gain and so on.

At noon, the enthronement ceremony ended, and Liu Xinyu and the officials withdrew one after another; but the common people stayed here, talking a lot.

This is an unprecedented enthronement ceremony. Instead of offering sacrifices to the heavens, the queen made public a constitution and established a people-oriented social system.

This is a huge progress. Although many people were pleasantly surprised for a while, they didn't realize what it meant.

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

The eyes of all the industrial and commercial classes shine. Among these people, many of them had been in contact with Dayang Group long ago and had heard some sayings. After hearing the contents of the constitution, they cheered the most.

There is no mention of the aristocracy in the constitution—Liu Xinyu has not yet dared to say openly, 'I oppose the aristocracy'. But it is not mentioned in the constitution, which is a statement in itself - there will be no nobles in the country of Qixia in the future.

However, after Liu Xinyu and others returned to the temporary residence, they began to discuss the issue of establishing the capital.

Some people said that it should be built on the old site; some people said that it was ominous to find another address;

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

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

Liu Xinyu confirmed it, and there was a wave of praise immediately.

But Liu Xinyu's gaze drifted to Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, you didn't seem to open your mouth during this discussion?"
