scene.
It was quiet for a while.
Xie Tianyao stopped talking.
Liu Zheng naturally did not dare to speak.
He knew what kind of person this old man was. He was moody and extremely ill. Once he angered him, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Constitutional monarchy...constitutional monarchy..."
Xie Tianyao suddenly laughed again.
Liu Zheng still wanted to speak.
"A constitutional monarch can be established..."
Suddenly, Xie Tianyao said lightly.
"What?"
Liu Zheng's pupils suddenly shrank.
Manager Zhou was also shocked.
He never expected that Xie Tianyao would say this. No wonder Xie Tianyao would be very interested in the constitutional monarchy recently and asked him to collect all the systems and policies of the constitutional monarchy of the Li Dynasty.
this……
Xie Tianyao nodded, a smile flashed across his face: "If Long Yan can become stronger, I am willing to try. However... I have a request."
Liu Zheng was stunned.
He almost instantly thought of what Xie Tianyao's request was.
"Let the eleventh prince succeed to the throne."
really.
Xie Tianyao stared at Liu Zheng and said.
Liu Zheng suddenly smiled bitterly.
It turns out that Xie Tianyao called him here today because he wanted to make this deal with him.
Xie Ming inherited the throne.
He promised a constitutional monarch...
For a moment, Liu Zheng didn't know what to say. Because he suddenly began to feel sorry for the dying emperor in front of him. These problems have probably been bothering him for a long time, right? As the emperor of such a big country, he probably has a lot on his mind. I always want to cover everything, always feel that there is not enough time, and always arrange everything before I pass away.
First of all, he would be worried that Liangzhou was too powerful, and if Xie Chan ascended the throne, it would cause instability in the country. Therefore, it was not a good choice for the empress to ascend the throne. His first choice was still to lean towards Xie Ming.
Secondly, he also knew that Xie Ming was still young. If he ascended the throne at this time, his power would be easily evaded by those scholar-bureaucrats. This had not happened before in history. Therefore, he is willing to adopt a cabinet system, or even a constitutional monarchy, as long as it can ensure that Long Yan's political situation can be stable and continue to be strong.
again……
That's why he felt that Liu Zheng was most likely to be able to influence Long Yan's fight for the heir. Liangzhou had such strength, and Liu Zheng also had such means.
Disaster.
When Liu Zheng thought of this, he felt tired for Xie Tianyao.
This is also the reason why he doesn't want to be the emperor, it's too tiring. Look at Xie Tianyao. Ever since he ascended the throne, he has been thinking about these things every day. He has never even gone out to the palace a few times. If there is no freedom, what will happen to the emperor?
Xie Tianyao continued to stare at Liu Zheng.
For a moment, Liu Zheng felt the killing intent again.
he knows.
If he vetoes Xie Tianyao's proposal today, he will most likely let the secret guards kill him here.
but……
What he was carrying at this time was the interests of the entire new aristocracy.
How should he choose?
Xie Tianyao laughed and said, "Do you know why I want to hold such a grand state funeral this time?"
Liu Zheng suddenly raised his head, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"The entire capital's defense talisman can be handed over to you. You can kill these vassal kings if you want, and destroy them if you want! How about that?"
Although Xie Tianyao was not in good spirits, the domineering tone in his words was still full.
"this……"
Liu Zheng was startled.
Because Xie Tianyao's condition is really enough to give him face.
He seemed to be telling Liu Zheng, as long as you new nobles agree to this matter, then in the entire Longyan, wherever you want the vassal king will be given to you!
Domineering!
Xie Tianyao laughed loudly: "Is it fun? It's time for these vassal kings in Longyan to be rectified. I don't mind, I can give them some fresh blood!"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly again.
Co-authored by the old emperor, everything has been arranged.
"Wei Chen, I have no objection!"
Liu Zheng bent down and held his hands.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Xie Tianyao seemed to like seeing Liu Zheng looking so deflated, he laughed so much that he couldn't stand up straight, and finally took a deep look at Liu Zheng: "Long Yan, we still have to rely on you young people...Liu Shilang, please! "
Liu Zheng was startled. He really didn't know what to say at this time and almost ran away in despair.
After leaving the Yangxin Hall, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Manager Zhou didn't come out to see him off.
Therefore, he wandered around the palace alone, under the guidance of a young eunuch.
The majestic palace tells the story of the glory and history of this dynasty for thousands of years. Since ancient times, how many people have gone crazy and wanted to come to this position regardless of the chaos in the world and the suffering of the people.
Supreme power is always desirable and lasts a lifetime.
but……
Just like Xie Tianyao, what can we do if we really reach this position? If you stay in this palace every day, you won't even know anything about the world. This place is just a big cage.
At least.
Liu Zheng didn't like it.
He hasn't returned to the post house yet.
A piece of news spread throughout the capital.
Your Majesty, an announcement has been made that Liu Shilang will be responsible for the security of the prince's funeral in Lishan. He will be in charge of all the cavalry guards in the city.
As soon as the news came out, almost the whole city was in an uproar.
What's the meaning?
Is Liu Zheng in charge of the entire city defense army? This... how much power does this have? More importantly, what other meaning does this message convey?
Has Minister Liu received the favor of the Holy Spirit again?
Could it be...
Is it the intention of the Holy One to be more biased towards Xie Chan?
this……
All of a sudden, all the forces and people active in Beijing were frightened.
No matter whether they were scholar-bureaucrats or old nobles, none of them could sit still.
"what are you saying?"
As soon as Liu Zheng returned to the post house, King Qin, King Wei, King Yong and others were already waiting for him. What made Liu Zheng even more devastated was that all the tiger talismans of the Dudu Guards had been delivered to him at the post house. Looking at the tiger charm on the table, Liu Zheng expressed Xie Tianyao's intention.
Several people jumped up all of a sudden.
"this……"
"Holy Lord, this is..."
"The eleventh prince?"
Several people felt very uncomfortable when they heard this.
but……
This is what the emperor means, can they still change it?
Moreover, Xie Tianyao also made concessions... This time, they could get the benefits they wanted from the funeral.
Checks and balances.
This is the way of checks and balances of the emperor.
Moreover, the establishment of a constitutional monarch will restrict Xie Ming's power - of course, things will always change. Whether it can be restricted depends on whether Long Yan will cause chaos.
but.
Think so.
It seems they don't suffer either.
And, no matter how you look at it, how do the new aristocrats make money?
"I want Youzhou! I have long disliked King Zhao!"
"I think we must find a way to take advantage of Yanzhou's geographical location!"
"And Jingzhou..."
After being briefly stunned, these feudal kings became excited one by one.
Liu Zheng was even dumbfounded.
