At this time, communication equipment such as telegraphs and radio stations had been successfully developed, so the news of the death of the Holy Emperor spread quickly throughout the country in a very short period of time. For a time, the whole country mourned, especially the older people. The old man, who was in his seventies or eighties, was so excited that he almost cried and was frightened to the point where his family members were at a loss.
Compared with some young people, some young people who have not experienced the life before the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, those old people have experienced those two eras, the era before the Holy Emperor and the era after the Holy Emperor, and have experienced these more than sixty years. Years of vigorous development, so I am even more grateful to the Holy Emperor.
At this time, when they heard the news of the death of the Holy Emperor, they were naturally so sad that they couldn't restrain themselves. Everyone, regardless of their old age and frailty, took up mourning. This did not require orders from others. Everyone did it consciously. Some families with a little money even wanted to take a train to Lin'an to attend the funeral of the Holy Emperor.
However, although the death of the Holy Emperor made most people in the country very sad, some people were still happy, and some people were relieved.
¡¡
At this time, all the cabinet ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and the cabinet chief couldn't help but smile:
¡°The emperor is finally gone!
To be honest, I often worry about whether I can survive that person and whether I can really let go of my hands and feet and completely restrain the imperial power.
¡°Eighteen years have passed, and I¡¯ve finally waited.
If that person lives for two more years, I will have to change the time. When the cabinet is reorganized, it is not certain whether the newly reorganized cabinet will have our ambitions. Maybe it will still be content and live an honest life. Woolen cloth!
These two years are our last chance. "
¡°That¡¯s true, we have to hurry up.
We live in the same era as the Holy Emperor, which is both lucky and sad. Fortunately, we can live in this era and have the opportunity to receive free education. What is sad is that what we have learned is of no use at all. The Holy Emperor's foresight and foresight are so strong that everything I thought about was written down in the fifty-year plan.
??????????????????????????????????????????????
By the way, how is the Pavilion Master going to restrain the emperor¡¯s power? It is difficult to deal with the fact that the emperor holds military power. We must find a way to take the military power away from the emperor. Even if we cannot control the military power, we must make the military power independent anyway, and the emperor cannot directly control orders.
"Otherwise, our cabinet will be unable to fight against the emperor. Even if we want to change something, we will not be able to cope with absolute military suppression. Therefore, we must find a way to change this first, cabinet master"
After the deputy cabinet chief sighed a few words, he quickly began to discuss with the cabinet master how to specifically control the imperial power and divide the military power and the imperial power.
The elders of the cabinet also participated one after another and expressed their own opinions. Some said that we could start from the throne, some said that we could start from the army, and some said that we could find a way to join forces with some officers in the army. In short, each has his or her own opinions. The ideas were discussed very enthusiastically and excitedly.
After nearly half a month of quarrels and discussions, they came up with a method that everyone could barely accept, and prepared to start an internal coup. They planned to imprison the emperor first, and then falsely pass on the imperial edict to restrain the imperial power.

March 31st
On the twenty-seventh day after the death of the emperor, the national mourning period ended, and the new emperor ascended the throne. At the first court meeting after the new emperor came to power, the new emperor Zhao You did not do any of the three things that made the new emperor take office, let alone the emperor. One of the courtiers, after all the ministers sat down, took out an old imperial edict from under the dragon chair, which looked very ancient, and estimated to be twenty or thirty years old, and opened it in front of all the ministers. And said loudly:
"This imperial edict was written by the late emperor thirty years ago and was specially prepared for the new emperor. Now that I have received the favor and enjoy the position of emperor, I should respect the late emperor's decree, inform all the ministers of the late emperor's intention, and worship the late emperor's holy edict together. kindness.
After my death, there will no longer be an emperor with real power in the world. After me, the emperor's real power to control the army will be abolished. He will only have the power to issue an international declaration of war after the cabinet review is completed. The government will implement the policy of false emperor, and the emperor will only serve the Song Dynasty. It is a symbol of not interfering in any actual government affairs.
But if the cabinet fails to govern and the king replaces and removes the cabinet leader, the government will have to re-??The power of the cabinet.
¡¡±
The purpose of the imperial edict is also very long, but in short, it can be said to be one point, that is, starting from this emperor, the policy of virtual emperor will be fully implemented and the imperial power will be completely restrained. The emperor can only become the symbol of the empire, and all matters, including issues related to mistakes in governing policies, will be taken into account. In the end, all the blame was placed on the cabinet. On the surface, the king had no rights at all, but in fact the king was still very aloof. And if anything happened in the future, it would be blamed on the cabinet and had nothing to do with the king. In this way , the possibility of a dynasty change in the future is extremely slim.
This is Qiao Mu¡¯s true intention in setting up such a will. In many cases, the main reason why some royal families are able to maintain a line for thousands of generations is that the royal family has no real power and is just a symbol. Only a royal family without real power can truly pull the strings of the family. Only by closing the distance between yourself and the people can you truly enter the hearts of the people and make the people no longer fearful. If you can do some appropriate charity and do some charity that can benefit the whole people, then the status of the royal family will be More stable and unshakable.
¡°Moreover, it is inevitable for the political system to gradually move toward democracy. Instead of forcibly obstructing the process, it is better to directly promote the process. This way, it can end well and leave a good name in the history books. It can be called an existence that promotes the historical process, but cannot be called an existence that hinders the historical process.
After reading the imperial edict, or before the imperial edict had been read, the ministers below, especially the cabinet members, were completely confused. They all looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know whether the news about their discussion had leaked out, or whether it was because of the late emperor. It was predicted ten years ago and the decree was left behind.
In short, they have no idea what they should do next. What they had already planned seems to have been realized without any coup. It was not until the imperial edict was read for a long time that the cabinet chief smiled bitterly below. , murmured to himself in a low voice:
¡°I still lost!
After so many years, I originally thought that the Holy Emperor had forgotten the promise she made back then, but I didn¡¯t expect that she would always remember it. It seems that she really wants to conquer an era and will not let us go even if she dies. I am afraid that we will be There is no hope of getting ahead, I can only hope for the next generation to make a difference.
¡°Oh, I¡¯m old, I¡¯m old! "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
