After four days of emergency assault, on the 20th of the first month of the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the First People's Congress of the Ming Dynasty was finally successfully held after a delay.
Thirty-seven hundred and sixty-one people's representatives from all over the country, representing all people across the country, gathered in the People's Congress Hall, which was converted from the Wanmin Palace.
In front of the hall, a Ming Dynasty flag flew fiercely. Headed by Su Yonglin, all public representatives followed Su Yonglin to salute the flag and read the oath collectively.
After the reading, the people's representatives lined up to enter the People's Congress chamber and took their seats according to the region of their respective provinces and their own nameplates.
After a while, the meeting hall was full.
A nine-member decision-making group headed by Su Yonglin served as the host of the meeting, and the proposers of the 68 proposals successfully passed at the Central Representative Conference also attended the meeting.
They will make speech reports at the meeting and submit their proposals to the conference, which will vote on them.
If more than two-thirds of the people vote in favor, the proposal will be finally passed and will become a goal that the Ming court must work hard to achieve in the next five years.
As the de facto supreme leader of the Ming Dynasty, Su Yonglin himself had several proposals that needed to be submitted to the People's Congress for approval.
"The Evil God"
In order to increase the sense of ceremony, Su Yonglin was the first representative to propose the proposal at this first people's congress.
After the conference officially started, Su Yonglin stood on the podium with thousands of people watching and made his first proposal.
He asked the delegates to allow him to step down as emperor and end the Chinese monarchy.
From now on, there will no longer be an emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor will become an illegal existence. Anyone who tries to restore the monarchy will be the enemy of the entire people, and the world will fight against it.
"The existence of the emperor is a representative of the old era. In the past, I did it as a last resort, but now the time is ripe. The Ming Dynasty no longer needs an emperor, the people no longer need an emperor, and the future will no longer need an emperor! Therefore, I propose to abolish the imperial system! "
Su Yonglin's first proposal received warm applause from all public representatives.
In the past two months, the most common thing Su Yonglin told them was why he wanted to abolish the imperial system and depose the emperor, even to the point of making the emperor an illegal existence in order to prevent the emergence of another emperor in the future of China.
For this reason, Su Yonglin worked hard and talked to everyone in the people's representative group and did everything he could.
When things reached this point, he had truly achieved his goal. The first proposal at the First People's Congress was passed unanimously.
The moment the unanimous vote was officially announced, an emperor disappeared and an empire died.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yonglin put forward his second proposal, which was to establish the new country name of Ming Dynasty.
He demanded that the title "Empire" be banned nationwide, and instead the title "Democratic Republic" be used to refer to the Ming Dynasty. Democracy is the goal of their struggle, and republic means the inheritance of history.
The Ming Dynasty will become a new country that takes into account both ancient and modern inheritance and looks forward to the future. This is the second revolution since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the second revolution against itself.
After this proposal was put forward, it was also passed unanimously. The public representatives maintained a high degree of enthusiasm for this historic moment.
After this proposal was passed, a democratic republic was born on the corpse of an empire.
The Ming Democratic Republic will be the official full name of the future Ming Dynasty. This country has no emperor, no aristocrats, no lords, no oppression and exploitation.
This country is a people-oriented country, a country that represents the interests of workers, and a country that will hang exploiters.
When the news that the proposal was unanimously approved came out from the mouth of Tian Qizi, who was in charge of statistics, Su Yonglin's heart was full of excitement.
No matter how he imagined this day, no matter how he believed that all this would eventually be achieved, when it actually came true, Su Yonglin was extremely excited.
After completing the procedure, it became a legal fact and an unshakable fact. This was really a joy for Su Yonglin.
What he wanted to accomplish with all his heart finally became the will of the country at this moment, not his personal will.
Personal will is easy to waver, but the will of the country is not so easy to waver. Things passed by the People's Congress may not seem that important now, but as time goes by, this will will generate strong inertia. .
It is true that Su Yonglin must also create his own authority for this large-scale meeting, so that this authority can truly affect the court and the Fuxing Association, and truly have a deterrent effect on these two large groups, so that this system can be implemented in the end.
But at this moment, he was really happy.
After the two opening topics have gone through the process, it’s time for the formal topics.
Central deputies who had accumulated rich experience after many days of bickering at the Central Delegates Conference began to take the stage one by one, took out their preliminary proposals, gave the public representatives their prepared explanations, gave examples and data, and tried their best Do your best to prove their correctness and the necessity of mentioning eucalyptus.
Unlike Su Yonglin's proposals, the public representatives really studied and understood the proposals put forward by other central representatives.
Unlike their trust in Su Yonglin, the public representatives did not have that much trust in the senior officials of the Central Government. They cherished their democratic rights as much as the central representatives, and they cherished everything they had finally obtained.
Especially now that he can be the head of the court.
From ancient times to the present, from the time when Pangu created the world to the present day, isn't it the only time when mud-legged people can be the masters of the court?
The high-ranking officials of the day need to make reports to them, and whether the high-ranking officials' reports can be passed and how the Ming Dynasty's national policy should be decided are matters they can decide.
Use the votes in their hands to vote for the future of Ming Dynasty. The decision-making power lies with them, not with the officials.
If they make a decision and reject the reports of the senior officials, the senior officials will be powerless.
What could be more exciting than this?
They held the ballots in their hands tightly, feeling that everything in front of them was like a dream, like a dream, as if it really existed, but it seemed as if it had never existed from the beginning.
The first day of the meeting ended with difficulty after dark that night.
Lin Jingchun's face was full of smiles, because both of his questions passed.
Su Haisheng's face turned dark because his only proposal was rejected.
Although he was said to have another chance to resubmit the proposal for retrial, his tongue was numb and his voice was hoarse when he spoke, and he still failed to get his proposal passed.
