As the news spread that Su Yonglin was reforming the system and preparing to abolish the imperial power, people from the central capital to local people continued to express opposition.
They believed that Su Yonglin's choice to end the emperor's existence at this time and switch to collective leadership was a very dangerous and irresponsible thing that could easily lead to trouble.
From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, and even when Su Yonglin himself was in power in the early days, he established an empire as an emperor to rule everything, integrate all forces, and adjust all contradictions to develop the country.
We have lived under the emperor's system for thousands of years, creating a very prosperous economy and culture. Although there was exploitation and oppression, there were also prosperous times and glory, and the survival of this system proved its vitality and rationality. .
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Su Yonglin kept talking about changing the world, but in fact he was doing the work of an emperor. He was also an emperor. As an emperor, he led the Ming Dynasty to create a new world, and made the Han and Tang Dynasties glorious and popular all over the world.
This is the credit of Su Yonglin, but it is also the credit of the emperor's system. Because of the emperor's centralization of power, the Ming Empire is now prosperous.
Then Su Yonglin became so proud that he wanted to abolish the emperor system?
Isn't this sheer irresponsibility?
Without the emperor, who would everyone be loyal to? Who are you responsible for? Who should show all our hard work to? Who will decide whether everyone will be promoted or retained?
In the past, this was all the responsibility of Su Yonglin. Everyone believed in Su Yonglin, obeyed his rule, and accepted his orders. This was the foundation of Ming Dynasty's stability. Without Su Yonglin, where would the foundation of Ming Dynasty's stability be?
What is collective leadership?
To put it bluntly, isn't it just a matter of decentralizing power among a few people?
What one person can do is delegated to several people. Is this collective leadership? Is this a boring reform?
Isn't it better to have a central meeting or a people's meeting where a large group of people can debate matters that can be decided by one person?
What kind of meeting of people's representatives? Is it better to let a group of idiots who can't read a bunch of words decide what can be decided by one person?
What did Su Yonglin do wrong when he became emperor?
Nothing wrong at all!
The Ming Dynasty became strong and prosperous under his rule. What's wrong with this?
Now a collective leadership system has suddenly been established. No one understands it at all, and has no confidence in this system. People in the world are panicked, and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is shaken. What should we do if there is some turmoil?
The reasons explained by this voice seem to be quite clear and well-founded, but they cannot stand up to scrutiny. If you think about it a little, you will find contradictions.
However, Su Yonglin's political reform does involve too much, has too much influence, and concerns the interests of too many people. Even if he uses his supreme authority to push it forward, it will still arouse opposition.
More importantly, the collective leadership system was his own creation and had no precedent. A country without an emperor was really unimaginable in this era.
Some people even completely ignored the distinction between the emperor and the country in the edict issued by Su Yonglin, and openly shouted that the emperor is the country. Without the emperor, how can there be a country?
In February and March of the twelfth year of Hongwu, as the reform edict was widely disseminated, the world was bustling with people. There was a fierce debate about Su Yonglin's decision to depose the emperor system and implement a collective leadership system, and public opinion was fierce.
According to the reports of the Skynet Army's spies scattered around the country, Su Yonglin learned that such voices came from two sources, one was the people in the Central Capital and local areas, and the other was the local officialdom.
The officialdom aspect is easier to understand.
Su Yonglin suppressed the conservative forces of restoration in Zhongdu through a political movement, allowing the innovative forces in the central court to take over the mainstream. Therefore, the central court implemented political reforms relatively smoothly without any obstacles.
However, local officials have mixed opinions on this matter.
At the provincial level, the leaders of all provinces and centrally-administered areas of the Ming Dynasty clearly expressed their support for the decision-making of the Zhongdu court and Su Yonglin, and supported the collective leadership system.
At the state level, there are more different voices. As for county-level governments and the Fuxing Association rural organizations below the county level, there are even more different voices.
Of course, the main reason for the different voices is not conspiracy, but concern.
Most local officials and revival members were worried that if Su Yonglin continued to lead the Ming Dynasty as emperor, the Ming Dynasty would be in trouble and its current glorious achievements would be lost.
They believe that such brilliant achievements were achieved during the period when Su Yonglin was the one with absolute power. Only if Su Yonglin continues to be the one with absolute power can the Ming Dynasty continue to be glorious and they will feel at ease.
In short, after they enter their comfort zone, they don't really want to get out. They are generally frightened by the sudden launch of political reforms.
Their main demand is to restore the status quo ante and allow Su Yonglin to continue to be emperor.
They were willing to obey Su Yonglin's orders and absolutely obey all his commands, but that was not necessarily the case for others.
In addition to this common sense state of most people, there are some people with evil intentions who see opportunities in this discussion and start to fish in troubled waters and spread rumors.
There are many kinds of rumors, and most of them are so ridiculous that even the most ordinary farmer who doesn't know much about words thinks there is something wrong.
The most lethal and marketable rumors are more terrifying.
They played conspiracy theories.
The content of the rumor is that Su Yonglin did not abdicate on his own initiative. Everyone still remembers that Su Yonglin was ill before. Because Su Yonglin was ill, his power was taken away. Some shameless villains took advantage of Su Yonglin's illness to seize his power.
Su Yonglin did not voluntarily quit being emperor, but because he lost his power, he was forced to give up his status as emperor and hand over his power under coercion. The people who instigated Su Yonglin's power were the remaining eight people in the so-called nine-person decision-making group.
They have ulterior motives and sinister intentions. They are pure evildoers and shameful betrayers.
Su Yonglin is under house arrest in China, so the revolutionary masses must stand up, rescue Su Yonglin and restore his power, so that they can continue to lead Ming Dynasty forward.
They want to launch a second revolution, launch a war, rescue Su Yonglin, restore the revolutionary status of the Ming Dynasty, and defeat those hateful bastards.
When Su Yonglin learned this kind of news, he knew the huge threat of this conspiracy theory and sensed that something was going to happen.
"Where did this rumor start?"
"The area around Yizhou and Juzhou in Shandong Province."
Su Yin whispered: "The person who spread the rumor has not been found yet, but in this area, this rumor has spread a lot and has some form. The local people's sentiment has been quite unstable. The local public sentiment consultation room has been the primary consultation question for many days. Due to this issue, the public is full of suspicion towards the nine-member decision-making group in Zhongdu."
"Yizhou, Juzhou."
Su Yonglin narrowed his eyes with a cold light in his eyes: "This is the place where we started. It is also the place where the people's revolutionary sentiment is the highest, the place where education was first received, where many policies were first implemented, and where there are the largest number of military dependents. They are doing this here. Things are going wrong."
"My subordinates think so too."
Su Yin said coldly: "Judging from the current situation of people in the area being deluded and incited, public sentiment is very likely to be unstable, because the people's emotions are so high that the local government and the Renaissance organization are very passive.
The local propaganda department wants to do something, but any good propaganda about the nine-person decision-making group and the collective leadership system will not be recognized by the people. Instead, it is full of suspicion and confrontation. Now the latest rumor is that the local government and the Renaissance organization are Lackeys of the Group of Nine, opposed to your leadership. "
