With the launch of the rectification movement, there were a large number of vacancies in various departments of the imperial court and the Renaissance that needed to be filled.
So Su Yonglin personally presided over the joint selection meeting between the Organization Department and the Imperial Staff Department, and personally took charge of this wave of personnel work.
While initiating personnel work, Su Yonglin also took the opportunity to promote the establishment and formal reorganization of new departments of the Renaissance Association, and put forward a proposal to establish the Central Conference of the Renaissance Association, which together with the mass representative system, would serve as two pillars of political reform. Big fist proposal.
Under his strong promotion, all the reforms he requested were passed, and the central conference system and the mass representative system were written into the regulations of the Renaissance Association for confirmation.
Then at the meeting, Su Yonglin elaborated on his ardent expectations for the central conference system and the mass representative system, and made clear to everyone his goal of promoting democratic centralism and never engaging in one-note speech.
Finally, at this critical moment, Su Yonglin did one more thing.
At this moment, Su Yonglin realized that the negative impact of the emperor's existence on the revolutionary cause had gradually emerged. The feudalization of some officials was inseparable from his status as the emperor.
They still have feudal fantasies about the Ming Dynasty, and they also have aristocratic fantasies about themselves.
This is not what Su Yonglin wants to see.
Therefore, Su Yonglin officially announced in public for the first time that he would abdicate when the revolution achieved a staged victory, would not inherit the throne, and would no longer allow the Ming Dynasty to have an emperor from now on.
"Nine years ago, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I thought about whether I wanted to be the emperor, because I felt that the emperor was a symbol of the old era. In the revolutionary Ming Dynasty, an emperor from the old era appeared. No matter how I looked at it, I felt weird. Out of place.
But later I considered that there were emperors in the Jin Kingdom, there were emperors in the Southern Song Dynasty, and there were emperors in Xixia. It is the consensus of the people that the emperor is the head of state and even a symbol. If I don’t become the emperor and occupy this important position, there is no guarantee that there will be no one. Others want to be emperors.
In order to buy time for the revolution, I became the emperor. Of course, in order to promote the emperor's eventual elimination, I also stripped off the emperor's sacred attributes step by step, stripping off the titles of emperor and saint step by step, and returning the emperor to his human attributes.
The results are obvious. The fact that the Ming Emperor is a human emperor and not an emperor has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now when people talk about the emperor outside, most people have a negative attitude. This is the goal I hope to achieve, to turn the emperor back into a human being. , a person who can be replaced.
When the emperor is no longer regarded as an indispensable existence, the emperor will have no meaning of existence, the supreme imperial power will have no meaning of existence, and all kinds of strange products that appear dependent on imperial power will also cease to exist. .
For the revolutionary Ming Dynasty, what is needed is revolution, the spirit of anti-oppression and exploitation, and wise people. The only thing it does not need is the emperor. From the beginning of Qin Shihuang's victory to the throne, to me, the emperor has drawn a thorough and complete picture of the Chinese empire. pause. "
Su Yonglin's statement caused huge waves at the internal meeting of the Renaissance Association.
This statement had an impact on the members of the Renaissance Society as much as the impact on the Confucian clerics when Su Yonglin announced that the emperor was no longer the emperor.
Obviously, Su Yonglin's appointment as emperor was a "stopgap measure" recognized by everyone. Su Yonglin also tried his best to prove that the emperor was a human being and not a god. However, in everyone's minds, this emperor's gold content became the most valuable in history.
Because Su Yonglin himself was so outstanding in military exploits, political achievements, and personal ethics, the "Emperor" who was supposed to be a stinking brand became a golden brand of the Ming Dynasty because of his own foil.
It seems that many people think that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was powerful was because of Emperor Su Yonglin, rather than because of a certain idea.
This was something Su Yonglin had never expected during his nine-year career as emperor.
In the beginning, becoming emperor was to adapt to that chaotic era, and it was the best choice under the background of that era.
But when he led everyone out of chaos as the emperor, his own aura had surpassed the emperor's aura, and even because he was so dazzling, his identity as the emperor also became dazzling.
He does not become holy because of the emperor, the emperor becomes holy because of him.
Even when some people are dissatisfied with his policies, the first thing they think of is not to threaten his status as emperor, but to gain some possibility of changing the situation by occupying the position of chairman and using the identity and power of the chairman.
They even believed that Su Yonglin and his descendants should continue to be emperors and continue to use this golden sign to maintain the apparent sanctity of the Ming Dynasty.
The internal affairs should be handed over to the "chairman" who is in line with the interests of the elders, and a de facto dual monarchy system should be adopted to safeguard the interests of the elders.
Bidige
This especially made Su Yonglin feel strongly dissatisfied.
The emperor should not continue to exist. As a symbol of the old era and the suffering of the ancient people, the revolutionary Ming Dynasty needs to complete a complete separation from the emperor. Even a complete constitutional monarchy should not be allowed, let alone this kind of bloody Dual monarchy.
China does not need an emperor, China does not need aristocrats, everything in China belongs to the revolutionary masses, he wants to cut off the last little tail of the old era, even if this little tail is himself.
The reaction of the revival members was completely in line with all his expectations. They felt frightened, stunned, incomprehensible, and unacceptable for a while.
Members immediately raised issues such as the inheritance of rule and the rule security of the Ming Dynasty after Su Yonglin. This was what they were most concerned about.
They were very worried, even frightened, thinking that everything in the Ming Dynasty depended on Su Yonglin. Su Yonglin was the emperor and held all the power, which made the Ming Dynasty what it is today. One day, if Su Yonglin stops being the emperor, what will happen to the Ming Dynasty?
Su Yonglin is the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is Su Yonglin. If Su Yonglin no longer wants the Ming Dynasty, what will the Ming Dynasty look like?
This is also what Su Yonglin is most worried about.
Moreover, it seems that there is a trend theory recently. This trend theory is quietly dispelling the positive significance that Ming Dynasty's series of revolutionary policies brought to Ming Dynasty society, and instead secretly grafting this positive significance onto Su Yonglin.
This positive meaning was even transferred to the [Emperor].
People who do this kind of thing of substituting concepts and substituting things are trying to make people think that Ming Dynasty is not what it is today because of the promotion of a series of revolutionary policies, not because of changes in ideas, not because of changes in the system.
But because of the [Emperor].
