The convening of the first people's congress is the beginning and a declaration. After this declaration, many real changes will occur.

A series of personnel and position transfers are in full swing, and a new ruling order belonging to the Executive Committee of the People's Congress is rapidly forming.

At the end of the first public congress, Su Yonglin held a very ritual event.

He put on the emperor's clothes again, exactly the same as when he ascended the throne, and then told everyone about his agreement with Kong Maojie back then.

"I had no intention of being an emperor from the beginning. Being an emperor was just a temporary measure. So thirteen years ago, Comrade Maojie and I agreed that on the day I abdicated, he would take off the emperor's clothes for me and burn it to show the end of the imperial system.

When we made the agreement, Comrade Zhou Chong acted as witnesses, so today, Comrade Zhou Chong acted as witnesses again, Comrade Maojie took off the emperor's clothes for me personally, and burned them to officially announce the end of the imperial system!"

Su Yonglin's publicity of this secret from thirteen years ago really surprised the public and central representatives.

On the one hand, I was surprised by the incident itself, and on the other hand, I was surprised by the fact that Kong Maojie dared to make an agreement with Su Yonglin at that time, and agreed today.

If someone else becomes the emperor, Kong Maojie still wants to join the nine-person group?

It would be good if you didn't go into the grave.

Kong Maojie seemed to have no self-awareness of this. He walked to Su Yonglin excitedly and faced Su Yonglin.

"Chairman, it's been thirteen years, I haven't changed."

"I haven't changed either, but it's a pity that the first 108 comrades at the beginning are now less than fifty of them still in our team. The others are either in Jishizhou or in Sakhalin Island, or have died."

Su Yonglin sighed and patted Kong Maojie on the shoulder: "I don't know how many comrades and comrades we will have in the team in thirteen years."

"No matter what, I'm always there and will not be abortion until death."

Kong Maojie had a serious expression and made an oath.

Su Yonglin did not doubt Kong Maojie's oath, so he asked Zhou Chong to stand beside the two of them and read Su Yonglin's oath of abdication.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Kong Maojie personally took off all Su Yonglin's imperial costumes, crowns, accessories and other series of symbolic and meaningful wear items, and then burned them into the prepared brazier.

The luxurious imperial costume made of the highest-end Shu brocade was burned to pieces.

In the burning flames, an empire died in the true sense, and a democratic republic was born in the ashes, officially proclaiming its birth.

After fulfilling the promise thirteen years ago, Su Yonglin declared the formal beginning of the tutoring period of the Democratic Republic of the Ming Dynasty as the chairman of the Executive Committee of the People's Congress.

Su Yonglin declared that although the Ming Dynasty's Constitution stipulated that all the power of the Ming Dynasty belonged to the people, because of well-known practical problems, Su Yonglin believed that the quality and cultural level of the people at the current stage were not enough to undertake the decision-making tasks of national affairs.

For the general public, the task they need to achieve at present is to improve their knowledge, understand politics, and be familiar with the system of the people's congress and the power they hold.

Only when all these things are completed can the people truly use the system of the people's congress and the identity of representatives to participate in national governance, and will not affect the normal handling of national affairs or the national situation in the Ming Dynasty.

The democratic republic system of the Ming Dynasty not only allowed the people to enjoy full rights, but also required the people to bear sufficient responsibilities, form sufficient consciousness, generate the sense of responsibility of the country's citizens and representatives, and complete further awakening.

Su Yonglin believes that liberating the people from the hands of landlords and powerful people, allowing them to gain the consciousness and dignity of free people, and break free from the shackles of the feudal era, is the first stage of awakening.

This makes them feel the national consciousness and the sense of responsibility of the country, feel the connection between themselves as individuals and the country, develop the awareness of being citizens of the country, and fully understand their rights and responsibilities. This is the second stage of awakening.

It is the responsibility of all public officials during the tutoring period of the Ming Dynasty to make the people develop the awareness of national citizens, possess the knowledge and literacy of national citizens, and spontaneously participate in the political life of the country.

Su Yonglin announced that this was the only way for the Ming Dynasty to move from the empire to the democratic republic.

What the Ming Dynasty needed was citizens, and all the people would complete the second awakening, rather than staying in the current state and stop moving forward.

During the tutoring period, the Ming Dynasty must achieve the goal of establishing a people's congress with equal rights and responsibilities in every province, prefecture, and county, and hold it regularly to select people's representatives. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty truly become a progressive, glorious and bright democratic republic.

This declaration was officially launched as the closing of the People's Congress. For everyone, especially the imperial officials, it was tantamount to another bombshell.

Su Yonglin then issued instructions to major departments of the court as chairman of the executive committee.

All departments of the court, especially the judicial departments, were required to fully organize a series of laws in the Ming Dynasty, including the Constitution, to carry out legal publicity activities nationwide and preach the laws to farmers from the grassroots collective farms.

The first thing we need to talk about is the Constitution, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Labor Law. It doesn’t matter if you spend more time and energy on these four laws in a complete way.

Su Yonglin attached great importance to this matter and explained it carefully in front of all the representatives.

Su Yonglin believes that there was a very bad phenomenon in the entire history of the old era. To summarize it, it is called [the punishment is unpredictable if it is unpredictable].

According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, every vassal state had its own laws for each vassal state, but these laws were not published to the public. Only a few law enforcers understood it, but the people did not.

It was not until Zichan, the ruling official of Zheng State, decided to make the laws of Zheng State on the cauldron to publicize them that the clear legal provisions finally became known. This was the first time since the creation of the world and caused a sensation among the vassal states.

At that time, the uncle of the Jin State official, wrote a letter to criticize Zichan, saying that the people knew that there was a law, would be disrespectful to the superiors, would abandon etiquette and requisition the law, and they had to make a clear understanding of every word of the law, and would violate the law, and would be more numerous, bribery would be used everywhere, and the rule of the state would be in a dilemma.

What Shu Xiang said actually has some truth.

Because what happened later confirmed some of the disadvantages he mentioned, such as the birth of the lawsuit that relies on the shortcomings of the law to take advantage of loopholes to seek personal gain for himself.

But if he said, the problem is even greater, because there is clearly a law, but the people do not know that they cannot regulate their behavior according to the requirements of the law, thereby avoiding the punishment of the government.

This is very fatal. You don’t know what to do legally and what to do illegally. You don’t even know whether it will be illegal if it will be illegal if it will be restricted everywhere and in dire straits everywhere. You will be very embarrassed and difficult.

At the same time, government officials who know the law can act recklessly and bully the people, and they don’t know how to seek justice for themselves anyway.

In this case, what officials say is what they should do, and how should the people deal with themselves?

Therefore, the fact that Zichan casts a criminal book is of progressive significance and has also been criticized and opposed by nobles from the Spring and Autumn Period, but in the end it has inevitably moved forward with the tide of history.

But things are not over here.
