"This damn world...this sounds a bit awkward."
Tian Qizi seemed to be suddenly struck by Su Yonglin's strange point of laughter. He couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "I always feel that someone who is particularly cruel and evil would say such a thing."
"Why are you so awkward? Didn't you die in this world before?"
Su Yonglin smiled and said: "In that kind of world, except for the gentlemen, everyone is a slave of cattle and horses. One more person is one more slave, and giving birth to a child is giving birth to a slave. Don't you deserve to die?
We have already made this person die once, and now this one is new. As for whether this new person will become the original dying person, it depends on how hard we work, right? "
Tian Guizi nodded.
"So how are you going to work on it?"
"Just try as hard as you want."
Su Yonglin smiled and said: "First of all, stop being silent. Silence has already achieved the purpose I want. Continuing will only make things worse instead of better. What we need now is not to continue to be silent, but to breakthrough."
"How to break through?"
"Take this opportunity to solidify the decision-making group and push forward the central conference system and the popular representative system. My identity as emperor must be removed as soon as possible. Now it is no longer a situation where the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I will continue to keep it." , will only do more harm than good.”
"Have you really made your decision? There is no turning back."
"I started shooting a bow more than ten years ago, but I kept moving the target back, and the arrows kept flying. Gezi, I had no intention of turning back from the beginning, and I can't turn back."
Su Yonglin made up his mind to take advantage of this inexplicable political turmoil to launch political reforms that had no reason at all, and carry out the long-planned reforms in one go, ending the old era and ushering in a new era.
So at the end of the eleventh year of Hongwu, near the end of the year, this incident that aroused considerable uneasiness within the entire court came to an end.
Su Yonglin typed back the memorial asking him to establish a prince.
He publicly stated that he had announced that he would be the final emperor and that it was impossible to allow the next emperor to appear. But now these people are still trying to make him a prince. Is this trying to change the nature of the Ming Dynasty back?
For more than ten years, the people of Ming Dynasty have paid too much for this revolutionary cause. The soldiers who died in battle and the tired farmers are all the founders of this cause and have devoted their lives and sweat for it.
But now, a small group of people want to take the merits of building this cause away from the hands of the world and turn it into their own private property?
This already made him feel very angry.
The people listed above were all members of the Renaissance, which made him even more angry to the point where he could not contain his anger.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
As a revival member, you should understand his goals and the purpose of the revolution, as well as his enthusiasm for the revolution, better than ordinary officials and the masses.
Continuing the revolution is not a joke, and the Emperor is not a joke. He will never use such things as a joke.
He would not have any heirs. Even if he died of illness, his son would not inherit his position. This possibility did not exist from the beginning, so there was no need to consider it at all.
And these people listed above clearly know what establishing a prince means to the Ming Dynasty, but they still do this. It can only be said that they no longer understand the meaning of the revolution and are no longer a part of the revolution.
Such people can no longer continue to be members of the revival church.
So Su Yonglin decided to expel them as Fuxing members, remove all positions within the Fuxing Association, and no longer recognize them as "comrades."
As for the official positions they hold in the imperial court, since they do not violate relevant laws, they will be retained for the time being to see the consequences.
But no matter what, the Renaissance Society will never accept a person who wants to restore imperial power in his heart.
Renaissance members should be very clear about the contradiction between revolution and imperial power. They should understand Su Yonglin's most important determination to depose the emperor system. It is really ridiculous for such people to push Su Yonglin to establish a prince.
So Su Yonglin immediately said that the process of officially abdicating and giving up the throne had begun.
In order to achieve this goal and maintain the basic stability of Ming Dynasty, he will comply with the people's hearts and launch a series of political reforms.
The time for political reform has not come yet, but now, at a time when everyone is paying great attention and longing for change, the time for reform has arrived.
The core of the reform is to change the emperor's personal dictatorship system through collective leadership and decision-making, and at the same time implement the central conference system and the popular representative system, so as to divide the power that originally belonged to the emperor and re-establish a political balance.
To put it bluntly, Su Yonglin wants to carry out drastic reforms to the country's superstructure that have been overdue for eleven years.
He wants to make all-round changes to the country's superstructure, completely break the original political ecology of ancient China, and replace it with a brand new state, and then make it reach a balanced state and run smoothly without letting the Ming Dynasty suffer. What problem has arisen that is too big to be solved?
Su Yonglin wanted to use this new state of his imagination to completely change the imperial society of ancient China so that it could adapt to the new era and new situations without holding back the times.
On December 27, the eleventh year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin officially promulgated the "Hongwu Reform Edict", promulgating this goal in the name of a formal edict throughout the country and spreading it throughout the country.
The Ming Dynasty will carry out superstructure reforms that have been delayed for eleven years. The superstructure must be adapted to the current production conditions of the Ming Dynasty, and everything left over from the old era that may interfere with the continued upgrading of the Ming Dynasty's industry will no longer exist.
He wanted to use this to cut off the thoughts of anyone with evil intentions and tell them that the road to feudal imperial power had come to an end, and the existence of the Ming Dynasty as a nominal empire had come to an end.
There will be no prince, no second emperor, no feudal dignitaries, no powerful landowners making a comeback.
Ming Dynasty will completely run towards the new era and will not linger on the old era. Anyone who tries to summon the souls of the old era will be dealt with forcefully by him without mercy.
After the formal edict was promulgated, although the actual operation of political reform had not yet begun, everyone knew that all this was irreversible.
Su Yonglin's decision to terminate the existence of imperial power has become a fact that is bound to happen. There will be no more emperors or princes in the future.
The farce before seemed like a complete joke now, making people laugh.
The promulgation of this edict was tantamount to a complete declaration of the victory of the revolutionary forces and the defeat of the reactionary forces. The reactionary forces headed by Pan Yongjian and Zhou Wei were immediately exposed to the sun and had no place to hide.
After learning the final outcome of the matter, Zhou Wei's mentality collapsed.
Under the gaze of the people around him who either didn't understand, despised or gloated about his misfortune, Zhou Wei asked to see Su Yonglin with a broken heart, saying that he wanted to expose Pan Yongjian's criminal behavior.
Zhou Wei told many people at the gate of the palace that Pan Yongjian had ordered his subordinates to spread rumors and tried to force Su Yonglin to establish a prince amid the wave of public opinion.
Not only that, Zhou Wei also exposed more sensitive remarks made by Pan Yongjian, such as the conflict between him and Di Liao. What's more, he also explained that Pan Yongjian imagined that in the future he would do whatever he wanted in the imperial society. The things of a good life.
With this, Zhou Wei accused Pan Yongjian of being an outright enemy hiding among the people, and tried to remove himself, saying that he was bewitched and confused for a while, but in fact he did not do anything extraordinary.
Even the signed memorial was actually drafted by Pan Yongjian alone and had nothing to do with him. He just signed it because he did not hold back under the coercion.
He supports the revolution and any decision made by Su Yonglin, and has no intention of summoning the souls of the old era.
He was coerced, not active, so I hope Su Yonglin can spare him.
