Chapter 724: Solve 0 ancient problems (medium)

There are roughly two types of government in the world today, namely monarchy and republic. The monarch is also divided into the monarchy **, and there are dualist monarchy, constitutional monarchy and other categories, and the power of the monarch is also different. The republic is divided into a parliamentary republic and a presidential republic. In the future, there will actually be a semi-presidential system, but it has not yet appeared. But at present, it is generally the monarchy and the republic, so they don't quite understand how to play it. Wang Guorui said that combining the monarchy and the republic, how to play it!

"Actually, my idea is very simple, that is, the king himself cannot decide the candidate for the heir to the throne! In the future, I will not directly decide the candidate for the heir to the throne, so you don't have to rely on me to please your children to fight for the succession to the throne. For this The succession to the throne has caused many tragedies of disharmony between husband and wife, father and son killing each other, and brothers fighting each other? So I don’t plan to continue like this. Instead of doing this, it’s better to give up part of the so-called power, and then let the family live in harmony without causing trouble There were so many **** things," Wang Guorui said.

Liu Xue immediately asked: "Husband, how will the position of the future crown prince be determined?"

"In the future, I already have plans. In the future, I plan to set a retirement age for the king. Once the king reaches the age of sixty, he must retire, and then he can take care of himself. Even I plan to retire at sixty in the future. He retired at the age of ten," Wang Guorui said.

"Husband, the emperor still retires?" Zheng Hong also felt incredible.

You must know that since ancient times, most Chinese emperors have lived for life, and they will never voluntarily abdicate. Once they abdicate, they are forced to, and there are almost no cases of voluntary abdication. Those who can voluntarily abdicate like Qianlong are also very rare. Even if Qianlong abdicated, the power is still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, and the son, the emperor, has almost no power. So the emperor retired, this is simply unbelievable. After all, the emperor retired, which was almost a bad thing.

"Anyone has time to grow old. Once a person is old, it is easy to cause stupidity. If you are an ordinary person, you will become stupid if you are stupid, and that will not affect much. But as a king, even if it is only a king in name. Once If the king is fatuous, it will definitely affect the fate of all the people in the world. Therefore, it is a good choice for the emperor to retire at the age of 60. After he can take the initiative to retire, he can enjoy his life with peace of mind, without thinking about it. Why continue to manage the affairs of the court. Next, take good care of yourself. In a few days, you can live the life you want without being disturbed by government affairs and various national etiquette affairs. When you want to travel, you can travel as you like. Let's go, enjoy your old age in peace." Wang Guorui said with some emotion.

However, Wang Guorui finally expressed his thoughts next.

"When the previous emperor announced his normal retirement, he chose a child over the age of 25 from among the direct children of the emperor to inherit the throne. But this candidate can sign up according to himself, and then participate in the election. I have been thinking, why? Can the emperor be elected? If the decision is made by the previous emperor, it is easy to make mistakes in judgment. After all, a person's vision is limited. Knowing people, knowing the face, but not the heart! In the royal family, even father and son may not know what the other is thinking Therefore, the emperor decided not to decide on his own, and let the parliament directly conduct the election. At that time, if the children of the previous emperor who are willing to run for the emperor have reached the age of 25, they can take the initiative to participate in the election, and if they are elected, they can inherit the throne. If you can’t get selected, then you will consider yourself unlucky, and you can’t blame others!” Wang Guorui said.

But Zheng Hong immediately asked anxiously: "Isn't this spreading the family ugliness to the outside world? Besides, in such an election, isn't that telling the world that the princes are about to fight for the throne? Besides, this is also embarrassing! And so Open elections. Isn't that shameful?"

"Shame on open elections? What is there to be ashamed of? And in my opinion, this is the best way. Make everything open for competition. Winning is a skill, and losing is bad luck. Don't blame others. If ah, according to the past If the former emperor made the decision himself, it would probably be a secret operation and not transparent at all. The most taboo thing about this kind of leader election is the secret operation, opaque! If it is not transparent, everyone will definitely have doubts in their hearts in the end. Even those who are competent may not be able to gain trust."

"If everything is open to the election, wouldn't it be a good thing? Put all the competition on the table, let everyone see what kind of bird these candidates are, and let them decide to choose the least bad guy. Yes. What if in the old way, today you command the troops to carry out a mutiny, tomorrow I will assassinate, and the day after tomorrow I will poison, how can this work? Instead of this kind of competition without rules and without compromising means, it is better to let them compete within certain rules. With the corresponding rules of the game of competition, that is the result that guarantees everyone's stability. Otherwise, like the method in the past, everyone must seize the throne. If they fail to seize the throne, they will definitely die. Wouldn't it be miserable in the end? So Make a rule of open competition for positions, so that they can put everything on the table and let everyone choose the least bad guy to be the emperor. So open elections, that is the safest way. You see People in republican countries, even if they fail in the election, they will not lose their lives!"

This is the proposed method of combining the republic and the monarchy. Wang Guorui decides his head with his ass. He is the founding emperor. Anyway, the subsequent emperors are all his descendants. So whoever inherits is not the successor, so he doesn't care. care. And the country in the future will gradually get rid of the so-called rule of man. In this way, the role of the emperor will become less and less. In this way, we will not be afraid of inhumane entrustment. Anyway, whoever chooses will be like a bird. I am not afraid of an incompetent emperor. There is nothing to worry about. of? Anyway, whether the emperor is capable or not, the usefulness will not have much influence, so Wang Guorui doesn't care who his descendants will inherit the throne.

"At that time, the emperor will also adopt the method of paying wages, and will not be able to use the state's public funds for his own use. The emperor's salary can be determined at his own discretion. This will be discussed at that time. And also, if the emperor does not do well Yes, then one-third of the members of the parliament can propose a motion, and then get the consent of 95% of the members, then the emperor can be deposed." Wang Guorui said.

When these women heard this, their faces turned green. Because it would be terrible if the representatives of the subjects were allowed to decide the candidate for the emperor, but now these members of the parliament still have the power to dethrone the emperor, which is really scary. The emperor has always been supreme since ancient times, but now I suddenly heard that the emperor can be deposed by the parliament under certain circumstances, that is really scary. If this is the case, then who can sit still this emperor!

"Husband, if this is the case, then the position of the emperor may not be truly stable!" Kang Tongwei said.

"Why do you want to be so stable? If the throne is too stable, I'm afraid the country will be unstable too!" Wang Guorui snorted.

Wang Guorui once saw an ancient tower on TV, and it was introduced that he had experienced countless years without collapsing. And there happens to be in a seismic zone, prone to earthquakes. The surrounding buildings have been replaced for various reasons, but the tower has experienced many minor earthquakes without collapsing. Later, someone discovered that the tower was actually unstable, and its pillars were actually movable, not absolutely stable. But it is precisely because of this kind of not absolute stability that he can relieve the vibrations of many earthquakes, allowing him to survive for many years longer than other buildings. There are even some people who study architecture and design a kind of earthquake-resistant building, the principle of which is to use "instability" as a means of unloading force, which can transfer the force of the earthquake.

And Wang Guorui also learned something from here~lightnovelpub.net~Although this is just a method of physics, it seems that it is only related to machines. But isn’t national politics also a “machine”? Isn’t it also a state machine? If a regime looks very "stable" and seems indestructible, it will hide many hidden dangers in the end, and when these dangers explode together, it will be too late.

So it is better to expose those "harms" regularly, and then let everyone have a "punching bag", and then let everyone have the opportunity to "vent their anger", so that the conflicts will not go deeper and deeper, and then cause the entire "house" to collapse , and this is also conducive to the progress of the country and social system. If the throne seems too stable, then the last emperor will definitely be fearless and finally do whatever he wants, which will affect the development of the entire country. So it's better to let the emperor feel that the throne is not so stable. Only when they feel that the dragon chair will shake at any time, can he really feel the danger.

There is another saying in later generations, that is, "He who is not in danger, how can he be an official!". If you are not careful and feel the danger, how can you secure your official position? If an emperor does not feel that he is dangerous, he will definitely collapse in the end, and then he will do whatever he wants without any bottom line. Only when they feel the danger will they be able to act cautiously and not dare to act recklessly. This is the foundation of the country's stability. (To be continued.)
