Su Yonglin carried out democracy in the central level and concentrated on the people’s congress. With this reform and great change, the whole country will experience a large-scale democratic change from beginning to end.
Chapter 1594 Punishment is unpredictable if it is unknown.
The first people’s congress is a beginning and an announcement. After this announcement, many real changes will occur.
A series of personnel transfer and post transfer are in full swing, and a new ruling order belonging to the executive Committee of the people’s congress is rapidly taking shape.
Su Yonglin’s first people’s congress ended with a ceremony.
He put on the emperor’s ornaments again, just like when he ascended the throne, and then told everyone that he had agreed with Kong Maojie.
"From the beginning, I didn’t intend to be an emperor all the time, but it was just an appropriate plan. Thirteen years ago, Comrade Mao Jie and I agreed that the day I abdicated, he personally faded the emperor’s ornaments and set fire to show the end of the monarchy.
At that time, when we made the agreement, Comrade Zhou Yi acted as a witness. Today, we will be witnessed by Comrade Zhou Yi again. Comrade Mao Jie personally decorated the emperor and paid a torch to officially declare the end of the monarchy! "
Su Yonglin’s publicity of this secret 13 years ago really surprised the people’s representatives and the central representatives.
On the one hand, I was surprised at this matter, on the other hand, I was surprised that Kong Maojie dared to make an appointment with Su Yonglin at that time.
If a new emperor Kong Maojie wants to join the nine-member group?
It’s good not to go into the grave
Kong Maojie seems to have no self-knowledge about this. He is very excited and goes to Su Yonglin’s side to face Su Yonglin.
"Chairman, I haven’t changed for thirteen years."
"I haven’t changed either. It’s a pity that less than 50 of our earliest 100 comrades are still in our team. He is either Jishizhou or Sakhalin Island or has already died."
Su Yonglin sighed and patted Kong Maojie on the shoulder. "I don’t know how many comrades will still be in the team in 13 years."
"No matter if I die all the time."
Kong Maojie looked serious and swore an oath.
Su Yonglin did not doubt Kong Maojie’s oath, so he asked Zhou Yi and his wife to read Su Yonglin’s abdication oath.
Then everyone watched Kong Maojie personally hand Su Yonglin’s imperial costume, crown, ornaments and so on, and then prepared to burn them in the brazier.
That set of luxurious and top-grade imperial ornaments made of Sichuan brocade was thus burned.
In the burning flame, an empire really died, and a democratic Republic was born in the fire, officially announcing its birth.
After fulfilling his promise 13 years ago, Su Yonglin announced the official start of the political training period in the Great Democratic Republic as the new chairman of the executive committee of the people’s congress.
Su Yonglin declared that although the Constitution stipulates that all power belongs to the people, due to the well-known practical problems, Su Yonglin believes that the quality and cultural level of the people at the present stage are not enough to undertake the decision-making of state affairs.
For the general public, what they need to achieve at present is to improve their knowledge, understand politics and be familiar with the people’s congress system and their own power.
Only when these affairs are completed can the people really benefit from the people’s congress system and representative status to participate in state governance, and it will not affect the normal handling of state affairs and the situation of big countries.
The great democratic Republic system not only needs people to enjoy full benefits, but also needs people to bear enough responsibilities to form a sense of responsibility for national citizens and people’s representatives to further awaken.
Su Yonglin believes that the first stage of awakening is to liberate the people from the hands of landlords and powerful men, so that they can gain the consciousness and dignity of free men and get rid of the shackles of feudal times.
And make them have a sense of national consciousness and national responsibility, feel that they are an individual country and have a sense of national citizenship, and fully understand their own interests and responsibilities. This is the second stage of awakening.
It is the duty of public officials in the period of political training in the Great Democratic Republic to make the people have national citizenship awareness, national citizenship knowledge and literacy and participate in national political life spontaneously.
Su Yonglin announced that this is the only way to move from empire to democratic republic.
The great need is that citizens should complete the second awakening instead of staying in the current state.
It is necessary to realize the goal that every province, state capital and county has established people’s congresses with equal responsibilities during the political training period, and to hold regular meetings to select people’s representatives, so as to truly become a progressive, glorious and light democratic Republic.
This declaration was officially launched after the closing of the people’s congress meeting, which is different from and a blockbuster for everyone, especially the court officials.
Su Yonglin then gave instructions to the major departments of the imperial court on the status of chairman of the executive committee.
It is required that all departments of the imperial court, especially the judicial department, should organize legal publicity activities nationwide after finishing a series of laws, including the constitution, and preach the law from farmers in the most basic farms
The first thing to talk about is that the Constitution, the Civil Law, the Criminal Law and the Labor Law make these four laws complete for the people. It doesn’t matter if you spend more energy.
Su Yonglin paid special attention to this matter and told it well before the delegates.
Su Yonglin believes that there is a very bad phenomenon in the whole history of the old times. To sum it up, it is called "if the punishment is unknown, the power is unpredictable."
During the Spring and Autumn Period, every vassal state had its own self-discipline laws, but these laws were not made public, and a few law enforcers knew them but the people didn’t.
It was not until the governor of Zheng made up his mind to cast the laws of Zheng into a cauldron that the legal provisions were finally known. This was the first time since the beginning of time that the vassal state caused a sensation.
At that time, the doctor’s uncle of the state of Jin wrote to criticize the property, saying that people would be disrespectful when they knew that there were laws, and they would abandon etiquette and levy laws and regulations in vain. There would be more cases of breaking the law, bribery would be everywhere, and state rule would be in trouble.
There is some truth in what uncle Xiang said.
Because what happened later did confirm some of the disadvantages he said, such as relying on the shortcomings of the law to drill for personal gain, and that was the birth of a lawsuit.
However, according to what he said, the problem is even bigger, because there are laws, but the people don’t know that they can’t regulate their own behavior according to the legal requirements, thus avoiding the official punishment.
This is terrible. It is not clear what to do legally and what to do illegally. Even if you don’t know whether it will be illegal to pick a bucket of water and cut down a tree, you will be restricted everywhere and life will be very embarrassing and difficult.
At the same time, knowing that the judge’s office can bully the people at will, they don’t know whether to ask for justice for themselves anyway
In this case, what officials say is what people should do.
The matter of casting penalty is of progressive significance and has been criticized and opposed by nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it is inevitable to advance with the tide of history after all.
But things are not over here.
Chapter 1595 Give each other chains
There is no doubt that the penalty of production and casting is of positive progressive significance, and other subsequent vassal States have promulgated written laws and set a precedent
However, in the years after the penalty of property casting, although the legal provisions can be published to the public, it still faces four severe challenges, and the whole society has not become a society ruled by law
These four challenges are really representative.
The first is that the imperial system, the emperor’s heaven is above the law, and such a guy who is above everyone is equal to the dynasty law in this world, which is a skeleton and has no real legal value.
The bureaucrats of the second Reich relied on the emperor to be responsible for the emperor, but not for the people. In essence, they also despised the interests of the ruling class, oppressed the people by law, and suppressed the people by law, instead of regulating people’s behavior.
Third, the people are generally illiterate, and there is no way to learn. They can’t understand the legal provisions in front of them. The law protects their own interests, so in the end, there is a law that inherits family knowledge and divides legalists into court judges, such as the famous Guo Jia, who was born in Yingchuan Guo.
The fourth legal provisions are limited by the times and people’s cognition, and there will inevitably be many loopholes. Even if it develops into a society ruled by law, there will be people like litigators who will seize the legal loopholes to gain benefits from them and trample on the significance of legal dignity.
Su Yonglin believes that the chaos of the people ruled by the dynasty was mainly caused by these four problems, and some civil chaos and corruption cases in the early days of the founding of the great country also originated from this.
Everyone really thinks that the law is waste paper, an official word and two mouths. What is it when you touch it? What’s wrong with turning black and white?
Can you turn over the sky with a grass-roots man?
It is precisely because of this universality that it is impossible to believe in the law and not recognize the social operation and social consumption, but solving things by law has become a tug-of-war between the pros and cons
The government benefited greatly, and it was full of oil.
This situation is evil, abnormal and unacceptable.
So Su Yonglin decided to operate on himself, resolutely took off his status as emperor, abolished Gao Transcendent all emperors, and put himself under legal control.
He publicly stated that he could not violate the laws he led to formulate, and that laws could punish others if they really broke the law.
So the first challenge is Su Yonglin’s efforts. At present, big countries are indispensable.
Su Yonglin degraded himself, destroyed the deity, raised the law to a high position, and let himself live in the law, then the whole theory of great powers is not higher than the legal person.
The second one is that Su Yonglin has been trying hard to protect the dignity of the law by launching three purges in the past.
However, at that time, there was a contradiction in the law, and it was impossible for him to really have an effect on himself if his action law changed substantially, which was a limited improvement rather than a reform.
But the eyes are different.
The power source of imperial officials is no longer the emperor, but the people’s congress stipulated by the constitution, and the power of the people’s congress comes from the people.
Include Su Yonglin, is responsible to that people’s congress which represents the will of the people accord to the constitution, not to the emperor.
Their power is no longer above everything, and they have no sacred and inviolable attributes. On the contrary, they must stipulate the framework for exercise.
The underlying logic of the great democratic Republic’s power operation has undergone substantial changes from this moment on.
Su Yonglin has put shackles on everyone, including himself, and all people have shackles, so that those who have the power are no longer detached from the legal status.
Su Yonglin himself believes that this is the second leap forward in the history of Chinese legal system since the self-made casting of punishment.
He worked hard, he completed the first and second challenges and found a solution.
