Chapter 149: Coercion by force(2/2)
As Zhao Yan said that, he took out two documents of the agreement and memorandum of understanding, Wang Chengen hurriedly walked down and submitted the documents.
Chongzhen picked up the document with a gloomy face and started reading it carefully.
However, before he could see much, Chongzhen stood up in anger, pointed at Zhao Yan and cursed: "What a thief, what a thief, you dare."
"It is for your good fortune. In this way, the descendants of the Zhu family will be emperors for generations in the future. Wouldn't it be beautiful?" Zhao Yanyang said, which made Chongzhen so angry that he was so angry that he smoked his orifices.
Zhao Yan continued, "If your Majesty has made mistakes, you should punish him. Your Majesty can finish reading first. As long as you sign the agreement, I will withdraw my troops immediately. Whether I will go or stay, everything will be decided by Your Majesty."
Before Chongzhen could speak, Zhao Yan said again: "In addition, there is no war in the capital. Please give your majesty the order to let all the kings go back home!"
"I, I..." Chongzhen was so angry that he trembled all over and couldn't speak for a moment. Zhao Yan stood below casually. He said that soldiers were brave generals and Zhao Yan had no shortage of strong soldiers in his hands, so he naturally had great courage.
Cao Huachun took the agreement and looked at it. After a while, he said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of burning firewood. Zhao Yan has not done anything yet. I see, I should sign it!"
Chongzhen lowered his head and took the agreement document and started reading it again.
"Constitutional Law of the Bingzi Year".
The core function of this law is to limit the absolute rights of the monarch and to avoid the loss of national strength, territory and talents caused by the monarch's personal misjudgment. The monarch cannot act according to his personal will. Everything is a case of the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" and the cabinet presides over the national administration.
Article 1: The monarch has no right to dismiss the people at will, kill the Ming officials and the people, and has no right to strip the people of their property without reason by their personal will. Everything is in accordance with the national law.
Article 2: The monarch's annual expenditure is limited to 1 million taels of silver, and the rest is filled in the treasury. The treasury is under the supervision of the cabinet and is distributed and used by the cabinet. If the monarch needs to expand its expenditure, he can invest in industry and commerce freely, but he shall not adopt unfair competition methods.
Article 3: The administrative power is handed over to the cabinet, appointed by civil servants, and the national defense and military power is still ruled by the monarch, and military separation is carried out.
Article 4: In addition to controlling military power, the monarch is also responsible for receiving diplomatic envoys, presiding on education and conducting various ceremonies. He shall not exceed one step in administration.
Article 5: The eunuch system shall be abolished, and no excuse shall be used to recruit eunuchs into the palace unless the existing eunuchs in the palace are retained.
Article 6: It is said that the "Da Ming Law" must be improved, and each area must be covered, and a Dali Temple, which is not subject to imperial power and cabinet constraints, shall be established to implement the separation of military, political and legal affairs.
Article 7: This Law comes into effect permanently.
"Shandong Military Privileges Contract"
1: Shandong military group has the right to declare war on the outside world. The monarch is not allowed to object, hinder or undermine it.
2: Shandong Military Group can expand the Shandong Army based on fiscal revenue without disrupting production.
3: Shandong Military Group is in charge of the municipal and municipal departments of each province and has the right to impose import and export tax on maritime merchant ships.
4: The Shandong Military Group is in charge of the World Salt Transportation Department, and half of its income is used as Shandong military expenditure and half of it is used as imperial military expenditure.
5: The Shandong military group has colonial autonomy, which is not hereditary.
6: Military groups can prosecute political, military, economic, and criminal criminals, and public prosecutions can be read and tried.
"My dear, let me think for a while." Chongzhen still said a little angrily, Zhao Yan nodded and said, "This is natural, but Your Majesty should send the imperial edict first! All the troops still need to suppress the thieves. If they leave the place, the good situation will inevitably overturn."
"Print an order." Chongzhen had no choice but to do what he said, "I ordered Zu Dashou to retreat to western Liaoning and strictly prevent Jianlu from advancing... I ordered..."
Chongzhen reported it, Wang Chengen quickly wrote, and finally Cao Huachun took out a large seal and stamped it on it, and the procedure was completed.
Zhao Yan received the imperial edict and said to Chongzhen: "I will leave in this way. Ming Dynasty said that I will come to the palace to meet the saint again. I hope Your Majesty will have a lot of thought. If you don't sign, I may find it difficult to explain to the soldiers. Then..."
As he said that, Zhao Yan smiled and didn't continue to say it. Everyone understood the meaning, so there was no need to say more. Then Zhao Yan turned around and walked out of the hall.
