Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 947 Constitution
Still no movement.

In the meeting hall, some people with poor concentration obviously couldn't sit still.Chen Zilong looked around and kept looking at the door, obviously wanting to go out to see what was going on, but when he saw Fang Yizhi, Fan Wenlan, Sun Chuanting, Xue Siming, etc. sitting there like stone statues, they watched with their own eyes. Looking at his heart from nose to nose, he didn't dare to stand up no matter what, so he touched Fang Yizhi quietly, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think the empress and His Royal Highness will accept such a condition?"

Fang Yizhi obviously had no idea: "It's hard to say... If you accept these conditions, the imperial power for more than 2000 years will be completely lost. From then on, the emperor is no longer the emperor, but an ordinary person with a relatively noble background. Such a responsibility, Who dares to bear it?" At this point, he sighed, and said, "Is it really appropriate for us to do this? To oppress your majesty like this..."

Xue Siming had kept his eyes closed all the time, but when he heard this, he opened his eyes suddenly, and snorted coldly: "To oppress the emperor? It is a great crime to oppress the emperor, and he would kill dozens of people without blinking." What about Wan Dajun? What is this?"

Fang Yizhi hesitated to speak, obviously wanting to refute, but in the end he could only sigh and stopped talking.Not to mention him, even his father, as well as Sun Chuanting, Fan Wenlan, Qin Liangyu, Zou Weilian and other most traditional officials have such aggressive expressions. Chongzhen's reckless Northern Expedition, which ruined hundreds of thousands of troops, really put them My heart is broken. Although they don't agree with the current actions of the Heluo New Army, they can't say anything.That's right, oppressing the emperor is a serious crime, so what is it for the superior to bury hundreds of thousands of troops without blinking an eye?If the imperial power is supreme and the constitutional structure is not completely broken, such tragedies will continue to be staged. No matter whether they win or lose, these loyal ministers will die without a place to bury them, unless they surrender to other races!
must change...

In fact, as early as Yang Menglong put forward the theory of water cycle and overturned the heresy of the monarchy, everything was already doomed. Chongzhen's reckless impulse just made this day come earlier!

While he was thinking about it, the eunuch's sharp and long voice suddenly came from outside: "The Queen is here!" Then there was a thousand-year-old voice, coming from far and near.Everyone stood up solemnly, the ringing of rings sounded, and the elegant and elegant queen came meandering over, holding the prince's hand. Tang Wang Zhu Yujian was right behind her, while Yang Menglong walked at the end.

Everyone bowed their hands and knelt together: "Empress Empress, thousand years old, thousand years old!"

The queen gracefully stretched out her hand as a gesture of support: "Everyone is flat!" Pulling the crown prince straight to the chief, and sitting down, all the civil and military officials returned to their seats one after another, sitting like knives in their sheaths, so serious that they couldn't be more serious.

The queen cleared her throat, and said in a manly voice: "My lords, your majesty has listened to the slander of treacherous ministers, and hastily made a northern expedition, losing hundreds of thousands of troops. , the capital fell... Although I don't care about world affairs, I can see all the tragedies in my eyes and feel pain in my heart! Here, the former emperor of the palace said to all the nobles and the common people I'm sorry, the emperor made a mistake, a big mistake!" At this point, she looked sad, tears welled up in her eyes, and lowered her head.

The generals were slightly moved, and the civil servants were a little at a loss. Qin Liangyu's voice trembled slightly and said: "The queen must not do it. It is all the fault of those rebellious officials and thieves. The emperor was just deceived..."

The queen sighed quietly and interrupted: "General Qin, don't comfort me. I have been with the emperor for more than ten years, and I know his character very well. He was possessed by inner demons at that time, Su Yi He couldn't listen to Hou's advice, and he couldn't listen to my own advice. Even if Concubine Yuan's sister tried to persuade him, he still couldn't listen! If you are wrong, you are wrong. If you are wrong, you must admit it. This is the emperor's debt to everyone here. The Qing family owes everything to everyone in the world, and I will repay it on his behalf."

Sun Chuanting said solemnly: "The queen's wife is kind-hearted, and she is worthy of being the mother of the Ming Dynasty! However, these things have passed, and it is useless to keep entangled. The country cannot live without a king. The most important thing now is to establish a new king, and then the emperor will personally conquer , conquer the capital, expel the Tartars, and restore our Han country!"

All the generals shouted in unison: "Expel the Tartars, and restore the rivers and mountains!"

The queen was quite pleased: "My dearest relatives can put aside the previous suspicions and put the country first, and this palace is deeply moved!" Having said this, her expression was a little complicated, and she sorted out her thoughts before saying: "The life and death of the emperor is uncertain, and the news is complete. No, the crown prince is supposed to be the successor, but now the crown prince is still young and the state affairs are extremely corrupt, he really can't bear this burden, if he does it reluctantly, it may ruin the big thing!" Looking at Zhu Yujian, he said: " At a time when the world is in turmoil and the mountains and rivers are changing colors, the King of Tang is fearless and has dispersed all his wealth to organize a rebel army to go north to serve the King in person. This kind of loyalty and bravery is really rare! Besides, the King of Tang is famous and very popular, even better than the prince The choice of the candidate...Guo Lai Changjun, Tang Wang, the heavy burden of recovering the capital and driving out the Tartars can only be borne by you!"

Zhu Yujian looked solemn, did not speak, but gave a grand gift to the queen.

The queen took out the document and signed it, then took out the jade seal, and was about to cover it, when she suddenly remembered something, stopped, looked around the crowd, and said: "My loves, you asked me to make this palace I will do it, and I want to ask you one thing."

Yang Menglong said: "Queen, please speak."

The queen looked at him and said word by word: "I would like to ask all my loves, if the emperor is still alive, please don't embarrass him after the overall situation is settled, and find a small piece of land in an inaccessible place for us, and let our family live there." Live a life of indifference to the world... I know this is difficult, after all, the emperor made a big mistake, but I really hope that everyone can give him a way out!"

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little helpless, but Yang Menglong didn't think too much, and said directly: "Queen, I promise you. If the emperor is willing, I can even allocate a large piece of land overseas for him to build a new one. The country is my reward for my unconditional trust in him over the years."

The queen showed a grateful smile, and said: "The champion Hou Yinuoqianjin, with your promise, I can rest assured!" No longer hesitating, she picked up the jade seal and sealed it with force, and then handed the document to Zhu Yujian.

Zhu Yujian also picked up a pen to sign another document, then stamped it and handed it to the queen.Then came another document, drafted by the crown prince himself, with more than a thousand words in it, proving that he voluntarily gave up power because he was too young to rule a country.He signed on it first, then the queen, Zhu Yujian, Yang Menglong, Fang Yizhi, Fan Wenlan, Zou Weilian, Qin Liangyu, Sun Chuanting and others signed on it in turn, and finally the prince took the jade seal and stamped it, and kept it in triplicate .When doing these things, the little one looked very calm, even with a hint of joy—the joy that Canary finally got out of the cage.In this way, the transfer of imperial power was completed, and he was free.

Yang Menglong took out a thick, torn document and put it on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this is a review of hundreds of outstanding figures who are proficient in the law with reference to the laws of the Great Qin and combined with the current reality of the Ming Dynasty. I believe everyone has read the draft constitution that took several years to compile. Now everyone should make a decision. Those who agree with the constitution should sign it. Formulate a constitution based on the blueprint, and then formulate and improve new laws on the basis of the constitution! From then on, the supreme thing in Ming Dynasty will no longer be the imperial power, let alone military power or political power, but the constitution! From the emperor to the traffickers and pawns , will be bound by the Constitution and will also be protected by the Constitution... This is the first time since the beginning of the world, we are creating a new history! Now, everyone, pick up your pens and make a choice!" After finishing speaking, he took up his pen first, Correctly wrote his name on it.

The queen also picked up the pen and signed her name.

boom----

A thunderous and violent bang rolled from the sky, shaking the earth, the clouds rolled in the sky, lightning danced, and the wind was strong. For some reason, when everyone started to sign, the sky suddenly changed.However, everyone present was unmoved, picked up their pens one by one, and signed their names on the draft constitution.Everyone knows the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, nothing else, just one word: strict!It doesn't matter whether it is a prince of Qingxiang or a pawn of the head of Guizhou, he will be punished for breaking any law, and there is no feeling at all. According to the laws of the Great Qin, [-]% of the officials of the Ming Dynasty will lose their heads, and the remaining [-]% will probably lose their heads. Most of them will be fined and bankrupt!The constitution formulated with reference to the laws of the Great Qin will naturally not make things easier for everyone, and its strictness is even worse than that of the Great Qin laws, but this is exactly what Ming needs. This is the constitution, and the constitution must be strict enough. There is no room left for exploiting loopholes!Once it is implemented, none of the hundreds of millions of people across the country will be able to escape, and they will all be bound by the Constitution, even senior officials who treat the law as nothing. It must be a lie to sign such a draft and say that there is nothing awkward about it. of.But the Constitution has an advantage, that is, it is fair, and it will be protected as much as it is restricted. Just for this, it has to be signed!

After signing, it was already noon, and the dark clouds in the sky had not dispersed. Under the dark sky and strong winds, tens of thousands of Ming troops stood solemnly under Wuling Congtai Square, with swords and guns like a forest, and flags blocking out the sun. Murderous.More than 200 officials, including Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong, who colluded with foreign enemies and ruined the situation in the northwest, did not even change their official uniforms. They were tied up and knelt under the Wulingcong stage. Behind each of them stood an executioner, Guitou. There was a frightening cold light shining on the knife, and many people were so frightened that they feces and urinated. They passed out several times and were woken up by cold water, wailing repeatedly, in extreme embarrassment.Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong looked at each other, and they both saw despair and confusion on each other's faces.

How did you lose...

Such a powerful Mongolian iron cavalry, such a fierce Junggar army, came all the way from the northwest, and it was overwhelming. They were about to enter the Central Plains and razed the Daming Road to the ground. How could they lose?

If I knew these barbarians were so invulnerable, I couldn't cooperate with them no matter what!It's too late to regret now!

In a daze, they vaguely heard the shouts of long live, and a group of civil and military talents came over surrounded by Zhu Yujian and Yang Menglong, seeming to say something loudly, and then the three armies cheered thunderously, and hundreds of thousands of Li people cheered loudly, then It was an epic roar that almost dispersed the dark clouds in the sky and woke up their souls.They raised their heads in horror and looked at the high platform, only to see Zhu Yujian dressed in military uniform, looking heroic and extraordinary, shouting in the echo of the three armies: "I, Zhu Yujian, with the empress, and with the most outstanding group of talents in the entire Ming Dynasty Sign the sacred agreement and become the monarch of Ming Dynasty!"

"I promise you that the first thing to do after conquering the capital and pacifying the world is to formulate a constitution. From then on, the three powers will be separated. The imperial power belongs to the imperial power, the military power belongs to the military power, and the political power belongs to the political power. They complement each other, but they do not interfere with each other!"

"I promise you that from now on, all power groups such as the royal family, official history, local clans, and the army will be under the constraints of the constitution! There will be no more endless political disputes, no more Di Qing and turmoil Pavilion, there will be no more lawless officials and local clans, no more feudal towns covering the sky with one hand, and no more high-ranking scholar-bureaucrats!"

"I promise you that I will hand over all power to civil and military officials in 20 years, but within these 20 years, I will wipe out Liaodong, conquer Mongolia, and put the battle flag back in Yuerhai, Nuergan, etc. Hami and Wu Sizang, reproduce the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

"Heaven is the proof!"

The three armies shouted excitedly: "Long live! Long live!"

Zhu Yujian pointed his halberd to the north: "Now, let's beat back the Tartars who have entered the customs and tell them with guns that this place does not belong to them. Go back to their deep mountains and old forests!"

The three armies roared like thunder: "We must win! We must win!"

Zhang Fengyi finally came back to his senses, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared: "Zhu, you can't do this! You are not qualified to do this! You are not from the Yan family at all, and you are not qualified to hold the divine weapon at all. You are rebellious, you——”

Yang Menglong glanced over coldly, and Zhang Fengyi shuddered when he was swept away by his lack of warmth, and the roar stopped abruptly.Yang Menglong asked coldly: "Are you finished?"

No one dared to answer.

Yang Menglong said: "After talking, let's go on the road, do it, cut down these traitors and collaborators and sacrifice the flag for my army!"

Zhang Fengyi peed immediately. Liang Tingdong was still strong, twisting and struggling, shouting: "Young man, if you dare to kill us, no scholar in the world will let you go! You are just a vulgar warrior, but you covet a divine weapon. You don't have to die well, you——" He was still cursing, but the executioner behind him became impatient. He raised the ghost-headed knife and swung it down. Immediately, the head fell to the ground, and a column of blood spurted out.Zhang Fengyi was so horrified that she still had the courage to point at Yang Menglong's nose and yell.He just kowtowed to Zhu Yujian vigorously and shouted: "Prince Tang... No, Your Majesty, spare my life! Please spare my life, I am willing to——"

A flash of knife light flashed, another head fell off, and the sound stopped abruptly.

On February [-], the ninth year of Chongzhen, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian ascended the throne, with the reign title "Longwu", and killed more than [-] treasonous civil servants and generals.After that, the army marched towards the battlefield wading in blood, with murderous intent!
This kicked off the decisive battle between the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
