I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 126 Zhu Qizhen = Henry III? England's version of the modest cabinet!

Henry III became king at the age of 9.

Zhu Qizhen became the Ming Emperor at the age of 9.

Henry III's inability to handle political affairs led to the establishment of the English Parliament.

Zhu Qizhen's inability to handle political affairs led to the Ming Dynasty cabinet gradually coming to the forefront?

Combining the deeds of his Yingzong family with the development of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, Zhu Houzhao almost immediately understood England's parliamentary model. Wouldn't this be the same as the development of their Ming cabinet?

[American Taizu Washington: The Oxford Conference of that year clarified the "Oxford Regulations" on the basis of the "Magna Carta", and the regulations stipulated that——]

[First, establish a permanent 15-member meeting mainly composed of barons. The king must obey its opinions when dealing with state affairs. The meeting has the power to appoint the chief justice, court ministers and ministers of the branch (treasury). 】

[Second, the original government officials should be restored, and national taxes should be paid to the branches instead of the king's treasury. 】

[Third, the county court had a jury of four knights to hear complaints against the sheriff and other royal officials. 】

[Fourth, Parliament meets every three years, whether called by the king or not. 】

[This is the prototype of our parliament in Europe. Your Majesty Louis XVI, your French Estates-General started and ended in 1302. The Estates-General was composed of representatives of the three estates: clergy (first estate), nobles (second estate) and citizens (third estate), hence the name. Regardless of the number of representatives, each of the three levels has one vote. 】

[This is obviously influenced by England's "Oxford Regulations". 】

In the group, Washington continued to introduce, and more detailed parliamentary regulations came out.

The reason why Washington is so clear about these is also attributed to his hard thinking and gathering of the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought on the presidential system. Back then, he consulted a lot of information for this system.

This English parliamentary regulation is almost the same as the Ming Dynasty’s cabinet!
This popular science in Washington made Zhu Houzhao more certain about the similarity between the English Parliament and the Ming Dynasty Cabinet.

[American Taizu Washington: Such an early parliament that restricted the king's power naturally rejected Henry III. So he sent troops to try to suppress it all. Unfortunately, the king did not know his fighting power. In 1264, during the battle on the outskirts of Lewes, King Henry III and his son Edward were captured by Montfort. 】

what?
Defeated and captured!
If Henry III of the Plantagenet Dynasty were so similar to Yingzong, he would be a prisoner in the war!
Zhu Houzhao was surprised again.

He was familiar with the fact that the emperor was captured, and could predict that the subsequent decline of imperial power was inevitable.

This is also true, there is no need for him to ask, Washington's statement verified this.

[Count de Montfort, who successfully captured the king and the prince, was a clear-minded, just and ideal politician. Unlike some rebels of the autocratic dynasty, he opposed the royal power in order to become a royal power himself, so he opposed the establishment of an oligarchy. He was more Hoping to rule the country through a "Great Assembly". 】

[Therefore, Montfort established a committee of nine to rule England, and convened two great conferences in 1264 and 1265. The representatives attending the conference were earls, barons, bishops, and two knight representatives from each county. By 1265 , and two freedmen representatives from each city participated. 】

[The "Great Council" held in Kenilworth in January 1265 is known as the first Parliament in British history. This can be regarded as the beginning of our parliament. 】

So, is this Mondfort considered Yu Qian?
After Yingzong was captured, the civil servants headed by Yu Qian were able to practically exclude the emperor and make decisions on major national affairs.

Yu Qian will definitely not monopolize power. Instead, he will give authority to the cabinet.

[Emperor Xuan of Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yun: So... this Mondfort offended the king, what will be the outcome? On our side, this kind of person will either usurp power and rebel on his own, or die... What will be his fate? 】

It feels like this Mondfort is more similar to Yu Qian, and Zhu Houzhao wants to know his ending even more.

[American Taizu Washington: Your Majesty Yuwen is wise. These things are obviously connected between the East and the West. Montfort met a tragic end. He was defeated by a reorganized army of King Henry III's son, and was killed and his body dismembered. 】

[Henry III, who returned to power, convened a new parliament and announced the abolition of many provisions of the "Oxford Statutes" formulated by Montfort. 】

Oh open!

Mondfort is similar to the Stone Hammer!
Henry III and Zhu Qizhen are even more similar.

He was able to sit on the throne twice, but Henry III did not kill Mondfort himself, but his son did it.

[Emperor Zhou Xuan Yuwen Yun: Henry III has returned to power, so your parliament is doomed to fail, right? 】

The behavior of the restored Yingzong Zhu Qizhen and Henry III after he returned to power were exactly the same.

However, Zhu Qizhen did not realize it, or he was aware of the dangers of the cabinet, but he died before he could deal with it.

[American Taizu Washington: Your Majesty Yuwen, you are right again. Parliament did briefly fail, but when Henry III died, his son Edward I succeeded to the throne. Edward I participated in the Crusades, visited many countries, and was exposed to different cultures. He was well-informed and open-minded. He even supported his uncle Montfort in his early years and believed that the royal power must be placed within the framework of the Constitution. under. 】

[Similarly, Edward I also liked to fight. During his tenure, he invaded and occupied Wales. Since then, Wales has become part of England, and the two kingdoms have become one country. 】

[When he later asked for money for the war, he did not impose taxes as before. He continued Montfort's parliamentary system and convened a new parliament, attended by counts, barons, bishops and abbots, as well as 70 civilian representatives from 292 towns. Through this parliament, he Raised money for war expenses. 】

[These 292 civilians participated in the meeting and became representatives of democracy and progress, and also became the prototype of the British House of Commons. This meeting was called a model meeting. 】

[In short, Edward I was much more capable than his father Henry III. During his tenure, England became more powerful. He was called the Hammer of Scotland. He personally led his army to crush the Scottish army and captured King Barrio. , and transported the crown, scepter, orb and the Scone stone, known as Scotland's "Stone of Destiny", back to England. 】

This Edward I was actually so full of martial virtue and political skills!

Comparable to Xianzong after Yingzong!
Zhu Houzhao's eyes immediately lit up, and he had an inexplicable liking for Prince Edward, whom he had never met before.

He always looked down upon the emperor who was full of martial virtue. However, this Edward I did not suppress the cabinet, but took advantage of it. Will this make the cabinet powerful?

[Emperor Zhou Xuan Yuwen Yun: I have an ominous premonition. This Edward I is giving your parliament greater power. When a certain king cannot compete with the parliament, I am afraid...]

Zhu Houzhao immediately made reasonable speculations and thought again of his father Zhu Youtang and Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu, both of whom were almost ignored by the cabinet.

[American Taizu Washington: Your Majesty Yuwen, you guessed it right again! Edward I proved that when the king is good, parliament is just a tool, but when the king fails, parliament will thrive! 】

[There is too much history here, I won’t go into details! 】

[After Edward I, his 23-year-old son Edward II succeeded to the throne. He grew up in a boudoir and was not interested in war, governing the country, or even women... He and his male servants Flirting in public...]

[This led to... Known as the She-Wolf of France, his wife Isabella was betrayed and angry. His queen and her lover launched an army and killed Edward II's male lover. Subsequently, the queen, together with the Parliament, used some means to "ask" Edward II to abdicate. This was the first time Parliament had deposed a king. With this precedent, the power of parliament became known to everyone...]

[Everyone should know what happened next. After the promotion and development of Thomas Cromwell during the Henry VIII period, and Oliver Cromwell during the Charles I period, in 1689, in order to further restrict the British royal power, the British Parliament passed the Bill of Rights. It strictly limits the king's rights in economic, political, religious and other affairs, determines the basic principle that the parliament has the highest power, and clearly stipulates the rights of citizens. When Britain came here, it began to implement a system of parallel monarchy and parliament, also called a constitutional monarchy...The power of parliament was finally greater than that of the monarch. 】

[The Senate and House of Representatives in our Congress are based on the model of the British Parliament. 】

Remove the emperor and ask the emperor to abdicate.

Zhu Houzhao was silent. Edward II was somewhat similar to his father. They both grew up in boudoirs and harems and were not interested in war.

Fortunately, the cabinet was not interested in the war. His father also kept a clean mind and almost obeyed the cabinet.

He can be regarded as a model emperor in the cabinet.

Therefore, the cabinet did not ask him to abdicate.

But the situation in their Ming Dynasty is different now. The cabinet power seems to have the ability to ask the emperor to abdicate.

As long as things continue to develop normally and he doesn't flee the capital... If the cabinet is impatient, can they ask him to abdicate?

It doesn't seem possible. No traitor and traitor would dare to bear such a reputation.

But... if they send Liu Wentai to kill the emperor with drugs, causing the emperor to die violently and inexplicably, it will be another way to ask the emperor to abdicate.

Obviously, compared to the Ming Dynasty...the British parliament's methods were gentler, and they didn't even dare to kill the emperor.

[American Taizu Washington: Well...did I say it was too boring? No one responded except His Majesty Yuwen? His Majesty Louis XVI...don't you hate the excessive power of parliament or the constitutional monarchy? What do you think of this French she-wolf Isabella deposing Edward II? 】

At this time, Washington found that the only one-man show in the group was him and Zhu Houzhao's trumpet. No one else spoke, and it felt a bit boring.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: What’s your reaction? We all know what you said! What do you think of Isabella? Of course I was very happy to see her. She did a beautiful job. She is worthy of being a French woman! 】

Louis XVI gave some reaction, it was such a double standard.

[American Taizong Jefferson: It’s not that we didn’t react, it’s actually that I haven’t studied this historical information as deeply as you did Washington. You said it well, and I also gained something. What I understand is the general outline of the formation of their British two-party system. 】

[American Taizong Jefferson: So, group leader, can Washington get points for this kind of talk? If I can, I will talk about the origin of our two-party system...I know this aspect relatively well. 】

Everyone then expressed their opinions, and Jefferson was concerned about whether Washington's rhetoric would be rewarded.

[Supreme Group Leader: It doesn’t depend on me. Only if the group members in the group have gained something and are recognized by everyone, so... Yu Wenyun, have you gained anything? 】

[Emperor Zhou Xuan Yuwen Yun: There is some gain, but not much... Isn't this similar to the development of our prime minister system...]

[Meixuanzong Jackson: I have gained something. 】

[Mercy Lincoln: I have also learned something. Re-reading these histories, I feel that they can be used as a reference for some of my current affairs...As far as I am concerned, the presidential power is too great, so it makes some people in Congress feel uncomfortable. ...So is it possible for me to end up like William II? No, William II’s ending is pretty good, I...]

[American Yingzong Cleveland: I have also gained something in this regard. President Washington is indeed worthy of our true founding father. As far as I know... When we were first established, the power of Congress was relatively small, but as time developed, it eventually became Is it inevitable for power to conquer a behemoth? 】

Several people said they had gained something.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: I gained nothing. 】

Louis XVI became an honest man in the group.

Zhu Houzhao was happy.

[Supreme Group Leader: As long as most people gain something, Washington’s rhetoric can get 10 points. 】

He happily gave Washington points because his goal was achieved.

[Supreme Group Leader: Jefferson, if you can speak better than Washington, everyone will gain something and you can also get points. 】

He continued to encourage Jefferson.
