One thousand five hundred and eighteen "Hongwu Reform Edict"
"Damn the world...this sounds a bit awkward."
Tian Guizi seemed to be suddenly poked into a strange laugh by Su Yonglin, and couldn't help laughing, laughing, "I always feel that some particularly cruel and evil guy would say such words."
"What's wrong? Shouldn't that person die before?"
Su Yonglin smiled and said, "In that kind of world, except for the men, everyone is a slave of cows and horses. One more person means one more slave. Giving a child means one slave. Shouldn't you die?
We have already let this world die once, and now this is a newborn. As for whether this newborn will become the same as the one who is about to die, it depends on how we work hard, right?"
Tian Guizi nodded.
"So how do you plan to work hard?"
"Just work hard, just work hard."
Su Yonglin smiled and said, "First of all, stop silence. Silence has achieved the purpose I want. If you continue, it will only make things worse rather than better. What we need now is not to continue silence, but to break through."
“How to break through?”
"Taking this opportunity to confirm the affairs of the decision-making team and push forward the central meeting system and the public representative system. My identity as an emperor must be removed as soon as possible. Now it is no longer a state where the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. If you continue to keep it, it will only cause more harm than the advantages."
"Have you really decided? There is no turning back."
"I had already opened the bow more than ten years ago, but I kept moving the target backwards and the arrows were flying all the time. Guizi, I had no intention of looking back from the beginning, and I couldn't look back."
Su Yonglin made up his mind to use this inexplicable political storm to push forward the political reform that had no reason before, and to carry out the reform he had planned for a long time, end the old era and usher in a new era.
So at the end of the eleventh year of Hongwu, as the end of the year approached, this incident that caused quite uneasiness throughout the court came to an end.
Su Yonglin returned the memorial to ask him to establish the crown prince.
He publicly stated that he had announced that he would become the final emperor and it was impossible to allow the next emperor to appear. But now these people still expressed their intention to make him a crown prince. Is this going to transform the nature of the Ming Dynasty back?
Over the past decade, the people of the Ming Dynasty have paid too much for this revolutionary cause. The soldiers who died in battle and the tired peasants are the founders of this cause, and they have devoted their lives and sweat to it.
But now, a small group of people want to take away the achievements of building this cause from the hands of the world and turn it into their own private property?
This made him feel very angry.
The people listed above are all members of the Fuxing family, which makes him so angry that he cannot curb his anger.
As a member of the Revival, he should know his goals and the purpose of the revolution, as well as his passion for the revolution, than the general officials and the masses.
Continuing the revolution is not a joke, and the emperor is not a joke. He will never use such things to make jokes.
He would not have any heirs, and even if he died of illness, his son would not inherit his position. This possibility did not exist from the beginning, so there was no need to consider it at all.
These people who have shown above know what the title of the crown prince means to the Ming Dynasty, but still have to do so. They can only say that they have completely stopped understanding the meaning of the revolution and are no longer part of the revolution.
Such people can no longer continue to become members of the Revival Society.
So Su Yonglin decided to fire them as members of the Revival Society and dismiss all the positions within the Revival Society, and no longer recognize them as "comrades".
As for the imperial official positions they held, they have not violated relevant laws, so they will be retained for the time being to observe the future effect.
But no matter what, Revival will never accept a person who thinks about restoring the imperial power should exist.
The members of the Revival should be extremely clear about the contradiction between revolution and imperial power. They should understand Su Yonglin's determination to dismiss the emperor's system the most important thing. It is really a big mistake for such a person to promote Su Yonglin to establish the crown prince.
So Su Yonglin followed closely and said that the process of officially abdicating and abandoning the throne had begun.
In order to achieve this goal and maintain the basic stability of the Ming Dynasty, he will follow the hearts of the people and carry out a series of political reforms.
The time for political reform was not yet here, but now, at this time when everyone is extremely concerned about and eager for change, the time for reform has come.
The core of the reform is to change the emperor's personal dictatorship system through collective leadership decision-making, and at the same time implement the central meeting system and the public representative system, so as to divide the power that originally belonged to the emperor and rebuild a political balance.
To put it bluntly, Su Yonglin is going to carry out drastic reforms to the superstructure of this country that has been late for eleven years.
He wants to make all-round changes to the superstructure of this country, completely break the original political ecology of ancient China, and replace it with a brand new state, and then make it reach a equilibrium and run smoothly without causing any big problems in the Ming Dynasty.
Su Yonglin wanted to use this new state he had imagined to completely change the imperial society in ancient China so that it could adapt to the new era and new situation without dragging the times behind.
On December 27, the 11th year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin officially issued the "Hongwu Reform Edict", promulgating this goal nationwide in the name of the formal edict, and spreading it across the country.
The Ming Dynasty carried out a superstructure reform that had been late for eleven years. It was necessary to adapt the superstructure to the current production conditions of the Ming Dynasty, and to make everything that might interfere with the continued upgrading of Ming Dynasty's industries no longer existed.
He wanted to use this to cut off any person who had bad intentions and tell them that the road to feudal imperial power had come to an end, and the existence of the Ming Dynasty as a nominal empire had come to an end.
There will be no crown prince, no second emperor, no feudal power, no landlord and powerful comeback.
The Ming Dynasty will completely run towards the new era and will not be nostalgic for the old era. Anyone who tries to summon souls for the old era will be solved by him with a tough attitude and will never show mercy.
After the formal edict was promulgated to the public, although the actual operation of political reform had not yet begun, everyone knew it in their minds that all this was irreversible.
The fact that Su Yonglin decided to terminate the existence of imperial power has become something that will inevitably happen in fact. There will be no more emperors and no more princes in the future.
The previous farce now seems to be a complete joke and makes people laugh.
The promulgation of this edict was equivalent to a complete declaration of the victory of the revolutionary forces and a complete declaration of the failure of the reactionary forces. The reactionary forces led by Pan Yongjian and Zhou Wei were immediately exposed in the sun, and there was no more hidden place.
After learning the final result of the incident, Zhou Wei's mentality collapsed.
Under the gaze of people around him who did not understand, despise or gloat, Zhou Wei asked to see Su Yonglin with a broken heart, saying that he would expose Pan Yongjian's sins.
Zhou Wei told Pan Yongjian's subordinates to spread rumors in front of many people at the entrance of the palace, and tried to force Su Yonglin to establish the prince under the wave of speech.
Not only that, Zhou Wei also exposed more sensitive remarks that Pan Yongjian had made, such as the conflicts between him and Di Liao, and even more so. He also explained Pan Yongjian's imagination of a better life in the future under the imperial society.
In this way, Zhou Wei accused Pan Yongjian of being a completely hidden enemy within the people, and tried to remove himself, indicating that he was bewitched and confused for a moment, but in fact he did not do anything out of order.
Even the signed memorial was actually drafted by Pan Yongjian alone, and it had nothing to do with him. He just didn't hold back under the scourge, so he signed the name.
He supported the revolution and any decisions made by Su Yonglin, and had no intention of summoning souls for the old era.
He was conned, not proactive, so I hope Su Yonglin can spare him.
