Red Alert 1895

"Husband, is it too much for you to do this? Anyway, Ouyang Xuan is a veteran in the government department. Without him, our government affairs system cannot be established. ⊙, without him, then no one in our civil service system can I took it. But husband, you actually let him go now, isn’t that like crossing the river, demolishing bridges, dismantling mills and killing donkeys? It can be said that he is the first person in our civil service system. Without him, I’m afraid there would be no civil service system! Even these years He is also responsible for the economic development of the country. Now if you let him go, isn't that the same as letting him leave at the peak of his career? How many people can bear it? Besides, if this is the case, what will happen to my husband in the future? See?" Kang Tongwei asked.

Wang Guorui shook his head and said: "It is precisely because he established the entire civil service system, and almost all the people in the civil service system are his disciples and grandchildren. As long as he is still in this position, there will be many people who will regard him as the spirit." Leader. As long as he is still alive, the people under him will not be disintegrated. So he must go, otherwise the entire civil service system will be monolithic, so I must be under a lot of pressure. I have paid more attention to management in recent years Military affairs, underestimated the management of government affairs. I almost entrusted him with government affairs, and I didn't have too many people who could put me in the government affairs system. I don't have to worry about the military system. There are Hu Wei, Honger, and the navy, and even There are also many factions, large and small. But among the civil servants, I don’t have enough people to check and balance him, so I can only cut the mess with a sharp knife, and let him go.”

"Isn't there a constitutional monarchy in the future?" Zheng Hong asked.

"Do you really think that a constitutional monarchy is so useful? Of course, I allow the so-called constitutional monarchy, but it doesn't mean I want to be a cocoon, understand? I allow them to limit the power of my descendants, but I don't allow them to limit mine Power, do you understand?"

"Of course. Laws still need to be enacted, and a constitution is still needed. But there are laws, but whether they are implemented or not depends on their own means. How many laws have been enacted since ancient times and then shelved? If since ancient times If those dignitaries in the world can abide by the law and do things completely in accordance with the law, then there will be no change of dynasty in this world. It is precisely because there are too many laws in this world that cannot be accurately implemented. That's why There's so much change of dynasty."

"This law is necessary, and it is the most basic thing to safeguard the country. But whether it can be implemented depends on the game inside. I don't want this constitution to directly affect me, understand? ?This constitution affects my descendants. I can’t control it. On the contrary, I will support it. But I don’t want this constitution to become a rope that binds me. I can use the law to do my own thing, but I don't want me to be restricted too much by my own laws, understand?"

"Even after the constitutional monarchy, the king is not without power. Look at England. England has had a constitutional monarchy since so many years ago. But even in Queen Victoria's time, decades ago, the king still had a lot of power. And the cabinet still can't effectively check and balance the king, and can't really lift the king up. And that's because the bourgeoisie was not a monolithic internal body, and there were many factions in the bourgeoisie back then, and he couldn't twist it into one. As long as the king does not intend to continue to slaughter them, they will also choose to compromise temporarily. The constitutional monarchy is nothing more than a product of mutual compromise, and the ultimate foundation is also a mutual compromise. But this compromise is Based on a balance between monarchy and bourgeoisie."

"The internal contradictions of the bourgeoisie are not small, so although they have strong strength. To be precise, they are actually stronger than the king, but because of division, they cannot effectively threaten the king. The king is different. Although the king has little power in his hands, But they are very united, so they twisted into a rope to deal with those disorganized bourgeoisie, which naturally still has a very huge deterrent effect. And the bourgeoisie also chose to compromise, as long as the king does not want to change the constitutional monarchy, then they will all I chose to compromise."

"But we are different here. We are not divided into different parties here. As long as that Ouyang Xuan is here for a day, they are all part of the same party. It is easy for the bourgeoisie to collude with them, and it is easy to form me, the king. There will be conflicts between power and their government power. I don't want my subordinates to have too much power when I am alive. Even if I know that these powers will belong to them sooner or later, I don't want me to be taken away while I am alive Let's go. Got it?"

Kang Tongwei also roughly understood what Wang Guorui meant. Wang Guorui's idea was actually an idea between a feudal king and a new-style king. The feudal kings were very powerful, concentrating all kinds of power, and it can be said that they had a constitution in their mouths. Legislative power, judicial power, executive power, and military power all belong to the king, and they are rarely willing to let others share the power. Why has it been said that it is difficult to be a prince since ancient times? That's because the prince is the heir of the king on the one hand, but on the other hand he is also a courtier. Any king who has done a little bit will not allow others to share his power, even if the other party is his own son.

Any king's feelings for the prince are also very embarrassing. If you are a father and father emperor, of course you hope that your son is strong enough to inherit the throne in the future and make the country stable. But on the other hand, they are also very worried that the prince is too good, threatening his power position. This is a very embarrassing and helpless situation. On the one hand, those princes have to show their talents, let their fathers value them, and stabilize their status. But on the other hand, they all have to "hide their clumsiness" so that they will not be too good and touch the bottom line of their father as an emperor.

This sounds easy, but it is very difficult to do. Because no prince knows where the bottom line in his father's heart is. Emperors of different backgrounds and circumstances have different bottom lines. Some kings have a relatively high degree of tolerance and can tolerate their sons being better, and even think that it is a good thing that their sons, or even their officials, are better than themselves. Facing such a magnanimous king, the prince or even the courtiers naturally don't have to worry too much. But if he is a narrow-minded person, he might be even a little better, and he will be wiped out. Therefore, this "degree" is very difficult to grasp, and there is no unified standard at all. Even the reigning emperor himself may not know where his "bottom line" is, and it cannot be measured in words at all. This kind of thing can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words!

Wang Guorui's attitude towards the government is actually the emperor's attitude towards the "Prince". Although Wang Guorui knew that a constitutional monarchy would become inevitable in the future, he would hand over power to the government sooner or later. But he didn't want to be robbed of power while he was alive. It's like many kings know that the prince will inherit his throne sooner or later, but those emperors are not able to allow their sons to compete with themselves for power when they are alive. This is the difference.

Even though Wang Guorui knew that the government would definitely take over his power in the future, he didn't want the government to compete with him for power prematurely.

"This Ouyang Xuan can be said to be the person who built the entire government system. If he is still there, the entire government is almost all his people, so of course I am worried. If all the subordinates belong to the same party, then as the boss How can you feel at ease? Since ancient times, courtiers have not fought, so how can the king have a peaceful life? But don't you think the civil servants under Ouyang Xuan are too harmonious now?"

The civil servants under Ouyang Xuan were also too harmonious, it was so harmonious that it was abnormal. But this was also caused by Wang Guorui. At that time, he entrusted almost all civil government affairs to Ouyang Xuan. Wang Guorui would only actively provide technology, and let Ouyang Xuan do almost everything else. So in this way, Ouyang Xuan is almost in charge of financial power and power, and almost all officials are recommended by Ouyang Xuan. Although Wang Guorui had a personnel department, the personnel department had little effect. Because this personnel department is more in charge of political review, reviewing whether they have inappropriate behavior, or whether they have joined any party or the like. As for the transfer of specific personnel appointments, Ouyang Xuan was more likely to recommend them. The personnel department only had the right to review, and had very little initiative in understanding appointments. Simply let Ouyang Xuan take full responsibility without doing anything. If there are many internal contradictions in the early stage of entrepreneurship, it will definitely collapse. Anyway, at that time Wang Guorui thought he was in control of the army, so he was naturally not afraid that they would cause trouble.

But this time and that time, the previous system has not been established, so naturally I am not afraid of their troubles. But now once he ascends the throne, constitutional monarchy becomes inevitable. Wang Guorui didn't want those civil servants to be able to use the constitution to **** power from him, that would be no fun. The constitution is a rope that can bind Wang Guorui to a certain extent. But the rope is also particular, if it is strong enough, it will naturally be able to bind Wang Guorui. However, Wang Guorui's strength is still good, and he can completely explode this rope.

Of course, even if the rope is strong, it depends on whether the person who used the rope to bind Wang Guorui is "strong". If the "kidnapper" has a strong rope, but does not have enough strength to tie the "hostage" firmly, it is useless. Therefore, since Wang Guorui cannot solve the problem based on the strength of the rope, he can only solve the problem from another angle, which is to reduce the strength of the "kidnapper" who controls the rope so that their strength is not enough to tie Wang Guorui . And the best way is to split the civil service group. (to be continued.) u
