The reason why Meng Zezhi agreed was mainly because he was worried that Liang Xingshen and Tan Zheng would not be able to control the situation.

Dagan is still considered a feudal society at present. Under the circumstances that the thinking has not yet been reformed, the traditional feudal autocratic system has not completely decayed, and the level of production technology has not improved, rashly changing the nature of society is no less than spoiling the growth of seedlings. Take the modern country of China as an example, which one has not been stepped forward step by step by the ancestors who threw their heads and blood.

Therefore, if there is no perfect plan, Liang Shiingshen and Tan Zheng will not talk about creating a free and democratic country. I am afraid that if things get to the end, it will cause social turmoil and the people will not be able to live.

But Meng Zezhi could also understand the urgency of Liang Xingshen and Tan Zheng.

Qi Dang is now the number one crony in the world, Meng Zezhi's students are all over the world, and the in-laws of Meng Zezhi's students are also all over the world, rounding up, most of the imperial court has fallen into the hands of Qi Dang.

In the north, 20 years ago, not long after the death of the first emperor, the nomads suffered heavy losses because of the drought in the grasslands. At first they just attacked each other in order to compete for the grasslands. Later, Wala came out with a powerful commander, and they gradually unified. grassland.

The grassland was unified, and there were no contradictions among the nomads, so they turned their attention to the Central Plains.

After all, the Central Plains is rich, and if they loot one or two cities at random, the money and food they rob will be enough for them to live a prosperous winter.

But for Dagan, this is no less than a catastrophe.

You must know that the frontier army of Dagan had not fought a war for more than 30 years.

So much so that in the first few years, the frontier army was almost chased away by Wala like a rabbit, and the big battle suffered heavy losses.

Later, the frontier army's blood and combat ability were finally brought out, but the imperial court was unable to provide so much money and food because of years of wars and the empty treasury. The life of the frontier army was even more difficult than before.

Until the Qi Party came to power, hybrid rice began to show its power, and artillery technology was born, officials inside and outside the court worked together and tightened their belts. Even the emperor and nobles were forced to cut expenses repeatedly to support the frontier army.

It was in such a situation that the frontier army could turn around and start running around the grasslands of Wala, avenging the bloody sea of ​​​​the year.

But now, because the Qi Party is in power, no one dares to deduct the military salary, and the life of the frontier soldiers is getting better and better, so they naturally fall to the Qi Party one after another.

Such a Qi Party is a thorn in the emperor's eyes no matter which dynasty it is placed in.

In the eyes of Liang Xingshen and others, since the Qi Party has no way out, it can only go one step further!

But now that the first emperor passed away, the new emperor has not yet been established, and at the beginning of the year, the frontier army just beat Wala back to the depths of the grassland, so now is their best chance.

But Meng Zezhi knew very well that Liang Xingshen and others actually faced many difficulties if they wanted to succeed.

First, the opposition of feudal conservatives. There are by no means a minority of such people. There are as many people who oppose as many scholars as there are in the world. After all, they have read the sage books for decades and recited the Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons, and no matter how many people there are in the Qi Party, can there be as many scholars as there are in the world?

After all, only those who want to innovate have always been members of the same party.

Second, the opposition of the royal family and noble families, needless to say the royal family, for those noble families, they have been a privileged class for generations, how could they tolerate their loss of power once in a while.

If they fight together as a group, they will be quite a force.

Third, before the people's livelihood is developed, how to ensure that officials and civilians have the same rights, rich businessmen and ordinary civilians have the same rights, ordinary civilians and villagers in remote mountain villages have the same rights.

Without these three points, freedom and democracy are just empty talk.

Due to inconvenient communication, the early elections were bound to be held only among officials. As a result, a new privileged class emerged. Once the promotion channels for the upper class were controlled by the newly born privileged class, the gap between the rich and the poor became wider and wider. The reform has come to an end.

If you think about it, you will know how heavy the tasks are.

You must know that Meng Zezhi originally just wanted to provide for his old age.

But what can he do now?

He could only sigh and agree.

Who makes children are debts, and students are the same.

"So what's your first step?" he asked.

Liang Xingshen's eyes suddenly shot out a bright light: "Transfer the frontier troops into the interior and garrison the provinces."

Dagan has 50 frontier troops, all of whom are brave and good at fighting. As long as each province sends 2 people, plus the local officials in various places are mostly members of the party, Dagan will not be chaotic.

Meng Zezhi: "What benefits can the frontier army gain by following your rebellion?"

Tan Zheng said immediately: "Once the rebellion succeeds, we will abolish the humble status."

The nationality of Dagan is divided into good and low, among which scholars, peasants, businessmen, and businessmen are good, and slaves and prostitutes are low.

But pawns of low status generally only refer to the frontier army. After all, if the Beijing army and the guards guarding the emperor were all low status, who would do it.

But only the frontier army is lowly, because the source of the frontier army is very complicated. Most of them are the former army and the separatist forces who surrendered and the criminals who were exiled for breaking the law. Military households, military households need to farm for self-sufficiency, but the land does not belong to military households. That is to say, military households are tenant farmers on the surface, but in fact they are serfs. Fortunately, each family only smokes one man. Once there is a war, it will be as many men as there are men.

Being slaves for generations, the future is bleak. In the past 20 years, the average age of military households in the frontier army is only 26 years old, and the military households have been working hard for a long time.

After all, the vast majority of the first generation of military households were actually ordinary people. Even if they were criminals, the stains on their bodies have been washed away after more than 100 years. Therefore, the military system of Dagan should have been changed long ago.

Liang Shengshen and the others thought very well.

After the abolition of lowly status, they will change the military household system to the recruitment system. If the original military households want to continue serving as soldiers, they can continue to serve as soldiers, and those who don't want to serve as soldiers can go to other industries. They will also set up special schools to train soldiers. The children of the family, the land they originally cultivated will also be distributed to them. Tan Zheng also asked Mr. Tan and other wealthy businessmen to raise tens of millions of taels of silver to reward them.

In this way, these frontier troops will definitely obey their commands.

Meng Zezhi nodded, at least Liang Xingshen and others are working in the right direction, and then he changed his voice: "But it's not enough, because if you can give these short-term benefits, other people can also give them, so you We should also let them see a long-term future, a future that makes them willing to support you and the new dynasty."

Liang Shengshen immediately said, "Please enlighten me, teacher."

Meng Zezhi said: "Just tell them that once a new dynasty is established, sergeants will be able to retire at the age of [-], and those who have served for more than ten years will receive half of their previous military pay every month. Select small officials from the retired sergeants, such as yamen servants and postmen... If they unfortunately die in battle, the imperial court will not only issue a generous pension, but also give preferential treatment to their families. Enrollment is free, the older ones, the state arranges work..."

After all, half of the average life expectancy of ancient people was around thirty.

Of course, with artillery technology now, their chances of dying in battle are already very small.

"This--"

Hearing this, Liang Xingshen and the two were shocked, because the treatment was no different from that of an official.

No one can offer such generous conditions.

Of course, it's not that it's bad, it's just how much it costs.

After all, there are only 90 civil and military officials in Dagan, but there are [-] soldiers.

It is equivalent to spending more than 600 million taels of silver every year, and the tax for a year of hard work is only less than 500 million taels.

Meng Zezhi only said: "The imperial court will certainly not be able to mobilize so much money in the short term, but since you have all decided to rebel, you probably won't stay with the big royal family..."

You must know that for more than 100 years since Dagan established the country, sixty or seventy princes alone have been sealed, and most of them are scattered all over the country. Although these princes have no real power and no land, the emperors of all dynasties will never treat their uncles badly. Brothers, sons, it can be said that one-eighth of Dagan's annual tax revenue is used to support the prince and grandson, not to mention how much money they usually made by oppressing the people.

Hearing this, Liang Shengshen and the others' eyes lit up, and they understood: "The teacher is right."

Then the more they thought about it, the more feasible it became.

In the past, soldiers were ignorant and their prospects were bleak, so they muddled along. They did what the generals above said, and the generals obeyed the emperor's orders.

In the future, the emperor will be gone, and the generals will have soldiers in their hands. If they become ambitious and want to rebel, it will be a simple matter.

But if the soldiers below all saw the future from Xinchao, so they voluntarily tied to the ship of Xinchao, and even their family members became bricks and tiles of Xinchao, then the general wanted to rebel, and these soldiers at the bottom would still Will you agree?

That's it.

Two days later, Meng Zezhi followed Tan Zheng back to the capital, while Liang Shengshen hurried to the border.

On the same day, the cabinet held a court meeting. In front of civil and military officials and all the princes in Beijing, Liang Shengshen's father-in-law and the chief assistant of the cabinet only said that it was about the succession of the throne. It is up to the royal family to decide on the ownership of the throne.

As soon as they heard that the Qi Party was not going to interfere with the throne, the royal family was overjoyed. Even if they felt that something was wrong, they were overwhelmed by the surprise.

So they wrote letters to the princes scattered all over the country, asking them to return to Beijing immediately.

Just when all the clans were arguing endlessly about the throne, on the other side, Liang Xingshen who arrived at the border first contacted his confidants, and then told all his conditions in front of all the officers and soldiers. All the sergeants were really moved, even if there were objections, they were taken down by Liang Shengshen's men on the spot.

A few days later, princes from all over the world rushed to the capital, and the battle for the throne finally came to an end. King An (formerly the third prince) won the support of all the princes with an absolute advantage, not only because he was the only son of Emperor Gao , and because he promised to entrust the kings after he ascended the throne, and he would choose heirs from the children of the kings. This is something that the former emperor's brothers who had not lost their children and grandchildren never dared to promise.

Complacent, he couldn't wait to ask for the enthronement ceremony.

But he didn't notice that all the civil and military officials looked at him with unusually meaningful eyes.

So two days later, when King An was in high spirits, finished offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and led a group of princes into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, ready to receive congratulations from civil and military officials, he saw Meng Zezhi sitting high on the dragon chair.

The expressions of Wang An and the others changed instantly.

Although Meng Zezhi had left the capital for more than 20 years, King An still recognized him at a glance, and he shouted: "Qi Tingye?"

Meng Zezhi was in a good mood, he said with a smile: "Prince An, I haven't seen you for many years, you look... even more stupid."

King An pointed at Meng Zezhi with trembling hands, "You, what do you want to do?"

Meng Zezhi: "Rebellion, isn't this obvious?"

After all, he sat directly on the dragon chair.

"you you……"

King An was angry and impatient, and even wanted to order someone to pull Meng Zezhi off the dragon chair.

Turning around, I saw a group of civil and military officials looking at them as if they were playing monkeys.

"It's already at this time, and you haven't seen the situation clearly yet?"

Tan Zheng said: "I really like one sentence, princes and generals, rather have kindness, with your stupid appearance, are you worthy of being emperor?"

"But fortunately, you are all a bunch of idiots, so you fell for our tricks so easily. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy for us to wipe you all out."

The princes finally came to their senses, it turned out that it was a lie for the royal family to discuss the ownership of the throne on their own, in order to let them all gather in the capital.

Liang Xingshen also said: "I advise you to go ahead and arrest them, because the frontier army has already gone south, and now the entire army is under our control, including your family members."

The faces of the princes instantly turned pale.

Only King An was about to burst into tears: "You, you gangsters and thieves, aren't you afraid that the fine brushwork in history books will teach you to leave a bad reputation forever?"

But he didn't want to hear this, so Meng Zezhi clapped his hands and laughed loudly. He turned his head and looked at the historians and painters beside him: "Hurry up, hurry up, write down this scene, this is the most colorful scene in the whole Daqian. , I have a hunch that the history books and portraits you have recorded now will definitely be passed down through the ages in the future."

King An: "..."

A group of royal relatives: "..."

Only this time, before they could speak again, Liang Shengshen waved his hand, and they were dragged down by a group of soldiers covering their mouths.

Meng Zezhi immediately stood up, stepped aside, and said with a smile, "Don't tell me, this dragon chair is quite comfortable to sit on. Do you want to try it too, my lords?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to tell whether Meng Zezhi was probing or something else.

Until Liang Xingshen pushed Zhou Shoufu aside: "Mr. Ge, you try first?"

Zhou Shoufu came to his senses, and immediately said cheerfully: "Okay, just give it a try."

With the support of Liang Shengshen, he slowly sat on the dragon chair: "Don't say it, the feeling of sitting on this dragon chair is different."

Seeing this scene, those officials who do not belong to the Qi Party feel relieved. In this way, at least it can show that the Qi Party is not lying to him, but is really planning to abolish the monarchy and establish a world that belongs to the scholar-bureaucrats. Otherwise, Meng Ze would know how Allow others to sit on the dragon chair.

So all of a sudden, all the officials were also aroused with curiosity, and they were eager to try, and there was a lot of laughter in the court.

On July 13553, 7 in the Chinese calendar, the country was wiped out, and the first democratic country in the history of the world was established.

……

500 years later, in the history department of Beijing University.

The professor manipulated the mouse and skillfully opened the PPT: "It is the 600th birthday of Mr. Qi Tingye, the father of the country. Today we will tell the story of this legendary great man."

"Qi Tingye, the founding president of the Dayang Kingdom, was born in the year 13500 of the Chinese calendar. He was the eldest son of the loyal and concubine Hou Qijian of Yongcheng in the Qian Dynasty..."

In fact, the students present could have memorized these histories fluently long ago.

After all, there is a TV series about Qi Tingye, and one will be released every two years. They almost grew up watching these TV series.

So everyone was a little drowsy when they heard it.

Until the professor talked about Qi Tingye's rebellion: "In 13553 of the Chinese calendar, that is, the 20th year of Kaisheng, with the death of the last emperor of Daqian, the Qi Party, which had already ruled the court at this time, finally couldn't hold back. Under Tan Zheng's control, once the situation changed and the country was destroyed, Qi Tingye stepped onto the stage of the times..."

At the same time, the students below were already discussing excitedly.

"Here we have to praise the father of the nation's showmanship."

"After the news spread, scholars all over the world scolded the father of the country and his party as traitors and traitors, not only because the new dynasty abolished the feudal monarchy, but also because the new dynasty abolished the privileges given to them by the feudal monarchy, so they thought of fighting against the father of the country. As a result, the scholars rebelled and failed in three years, not to mention how could they be the opponents of the frontier army, so they were all sent to open up wasteland by the father of the country in the end. Woolen cloth."

"They probably didn't realize until their death that what made them famous through the ages was not because of how loyal they were to Dagan, but because their enemies felt that the essays they wrote were very valuable for collection."

"The father of the nation has really worked hard to save historical relics for us."

"Later seeing that the rebellion failed, they seized the loopholes in the freedom of speech proposed by the government and wrote an article every day insulting the father of the nation. Later, seeing that there were too many articles written, they simply collected the well-written articles in one spread around on a piece of paper—that’s how newspapers came about.”

"So when the founding father found out, not only was he not angry on the surface, but he directly plagiarized their ideas and started many newspapers. The reason why he said it was on the surface, because behind the scenes, in order to pierce their hearts, the founding father directly transformed the palace into a museum to share with the public. It’s open, the entrance fee is one yuan, and you only need to pay another two taels of silver to sit on the dragon chair for half a minute, or pay another 200 taels of silver to sleep on the dragon bed for half an hour.”

"Because of this, the government earned 2000 million taels of silver that year, which is about half a year's income of the national treasury. You must know that they raided dozens of princes' homes before, and they only got this little cash."

"The father of the country is really an old onmyoji...ah, no, an old businessman."

"The fighting spirit of those scholars was directly crushed by this set of operations, but they were still not reconciled, so they came up with another idea. They felt that if a country wants to be governed well, it cannot do without scholars. As long as they refuse If you become an official, there will be no one available in the Great Yang Dynasty, and sooner or later it will fall apart."

"But what they don't know is that not only is the father of the nation not afraid of gossip, he dares to blatantly cronyize others, and he is also a coward."

"At that time, those scholars did not go to official positions, but whenever there were vacancies in official positions, he dared to ask his students to take the top, regardless of whether the other party was admitted as a scholar or a scholar. While teaching hundreds of students, there were not enough high-quality students, so he used this as an excuse to recruit women, so that he could transfer/teach a group of qualified officials in an average of three years. According to statistics, the father of the country received a total of nearly [-] students."

"So in the end, when those stubborn scholars reacted, the officialdom had been filled with the students of the founding father, and their positions had long been lost. Even their wives and daughters who fled became officials of the new dynasty. , overwhelmed them."

"In this way, these scholars who originally belonged to the feudal upper class gradually fell silent."

"I heard that some of them have been writing books and compiling some stories. For example, how many scholars who scolded him were killed by the father of the country. God knows how picky the father of the country is. Despite all the arguments, none of them were killed, and they were all sent to reclamation and reconstruction, and nothing wasted."

"Let's get down to business, and they did this in the hope that these books can be passed down, so that one day in the future they will become a sharp weapon for those who oppose Dayang to attack the founding father."

"To be honest, I haven't read any of the books they wrote. I only know "Picture of the Destroyer of the Great Qiang Kingdom", "Words Against Qi Rebellion", "Picture of the People Queuing to Try to Sit on the Dragon Chair"... Now It's still hanging in the museum, and the estimated value of "Da Qian Guo Destroyed Map" is over [-] million."

"However, the most pitiful thing is the son of King Yan. He finally escaped from the siege and interception of the frontier army, and even used his royal status to pull up an army of tens of thousands of people to restore the country. In the end, his father was killed by the father of the country. Arrested, under the threat of the father of the country, his father directly stood up and said that he was a fake Prince Yan's son. Because of this, the army he had managed to pull together disbanded immediately, and he himself was arrested by his subordinates as a surrender The chip was given to the father of the nation."

"Yes, yes, this group of imperial families really made me laugh, because they are so stupid. The extermination of the country is really the smoothest change of dynasty in history, because few people died."

……

At the same time, the professors on the stage continued: "After Qi Tingye became the president, he reformed the six ministries, established a parliament, and created the four-power separation system. The so-called four powers are executive power, military power, legislative power, and supervisory power. Power and military power, legislative power belongs to the parliament, the president has no right to intervene, supervision power belongs to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the president can be impeached, and the officials can be supervised, which is the cornerstone of Dayang's 500 years of clean government..."

"He served as president for ten years. Politically, he reformed the military system, strengthened the legal system, built roads, established new schools, established industries, pacified Oirat militarily, actively engaged in overseas exploration, and expanded nearly 200 million square kilometers for Dayang. It also laid a solid foundation for Dayang to go abroad in the future and vigorously expand overseas colonies..."

"After he stepped down as president, two of his students Liang Shengshen and Tan Zheng came to power successively, but the overall situation of the country was still under his control. Until 20 years later, the Dayang Dynasty finally completed the transition from a feudal country to a democratic country. At the age of 73, he finally closed his eyes with peace of mind."

"Because of the various advanced ideas and systems he creatively put forward, under his guidance, future generations have shaped Dayang's status as the world's largest country step by step."

"The love story between him and his wife Xu Chuzhi is even more widely circulated, because they are the first homosexual couple to get married in a civil law, and their special identities, so that until now, homosexual couples Their faces are still printed on the husband’s marriage certificate.”

In the end, the professor concluded: "Some people say that he is an ambitious dictator, because all those who opposed him were sent to the farm to reclaim wasteland by him, and he shamelessly allowed the students to hang his portrait On the right side of Confucius."

"But what they can't refute is that it took him only seven years to expand the voting rights held by a small number of people in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, that is, officials and rich people, to universal rights for all people, and it took him less than 20 years. Completed poverty alleviation for the whole people, and when he died, more than 1 million people in the country had basically been lifted out of blindness."

"Some people say that he is a shameless country thief. He stole the fruits of victory of his two students, Liang Shiingshen and Tan Zheng, became the founding president of the country, and even held the power of the country until his death..."

Hearing this, a group of students came back to their senses, and they immediately yelled: "How is it possible, if the founding father is really such a person, when he passed away, why would Liang Xingshen and Tan Zheng still compete to write his epitaph?" ?”

Others also said: "Speaking of the epitaph, who would have thought that Liang Xingshen and Tan Zheng had quarreled for a long time before being told that the father of the country had already prepared and written the epitaph for himself, and the content was "I just wanted to I passed my old age in peace and stability, but the students were too troublesome, so I was forced to work overtime for decades, and I will never accept students again in my next life."

"Seek the psychological shadow area of ​​the two."

"I reckon at least three bedrooms and one living room."

"But why do you still taste a little bit of showing off?"

"It's too miserable, because the students are too competitive, so they have been presidents for decades..."

The professor was silent, looked at them, and said seriously: "Actually, I also want to be as miserable as the father of the country."

A group of students: "..."

At this moment, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.

The students said without hesitation, "Farewell!"

The author has something to say: Well, this world is finally finished.

Taking a day off tomorrow, the stupid author needs to deeply reflect on what he wrote in these two worlds, and think about the details of the next world by the way.

Finally, as usual, send out a wave of dragging red envelopes, Chirp~
