Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 679 Magna Carta

No wonder Sun Chuanting and the others are trembling so much. To change the dynasty is just to put his own family commander on the throne. To Sun Chuanting, and even to Lu Xiangsheng, it doesn't mean much. What these people really care about is not to perish, even Chen Zilong is only emotionally unacceptable, and has no strong intention to resist.

However, what Song Qingshu wants to do is even crazier than changing the dynasty. He wants to blame an emperor!
The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people?Hmph, it's always been said, besides, the son of heaven refers to the emperor's son, but today, those present want the emperor to formally apologize for the mistakes he committed, and then proceed to trial. In the eyes of people at that time , is simply incredible.

Even Yang Guang, the tyrant of the Sui Dynasty, was killed because of a rebellion. The imperial edicts of guilt have always been issued by himself, and he justified himself. No one has ever successfully judged a high-ranking emperor.

But today, Song Qingshu is going to do it!

Even though Zhu Youjian already knew his destiny and mission before being brought back from the Wa country, and he even had a deep talk with Song Qingshu, but in the court hall, being questioned so nakedly and publicly still made his face twitch violently After a long while, he suddenly stood up and read his lines tremblingly.

"What is my crime?"

"Appointing Yuan Chonghuan, consuming the fat and anointing of the people of the world to support him, and then killing him privately with suspicion, so that the situation in Liaodong collapsed, can your majesty plead guilty?"

"I, plead guilty!"

"The decree was changed from day to night, and Yang He was the governor of the three sides to appease the three sides, but he was stingy with money and changed appeasement into suppression, which led to the civil uprising on the three sides and caused chaos in the entire Ming Dynasty. Can your majesty plead guilty?"

"I, plead guilty!"

"Vertical, with Dong Luyi and Snake Mouse at both ends, self-indulgence, Yang Sichang secretly dragged his feet, leading to the defeat of Jiazhuang, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Empire died in battle, can Your Majesty plead guilty?"

"I... I plead guilty"

…………

"Floating, leading to the fall of the capital, the fall of hundreds of prefectures in the seven provinces of Jiangbei, the crime of subjugation! Can your majesty plead guilty?"

"I, I, I... plead guilty!"

Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Gu Yanwu and others successively accused each of the bad policies that led to the downfall of the Chongzhen period. It was extremely difficult. The domineering and domineering husband Zhu Youjian also responded one by one. The process lasted for more than ten minutes. However, Chen Zilong , Zhu Dadian, etc. were all dumbfounded, unable to even say a word, until finally Zhu Youjian couldn't hold it anymore, sat back on the dragon chair with cold sweat on his buttocks, Qian Qianyi suddenly A spirit jumped up.

"Sun, Sun Chuanting, you are bold, dare, dare to treat your Majesty like this, you are disrespectful, you, you are heinous, heinous crimes!"

"Are these all fake?"

"Because of these, we have all experienced the pain of subjugation!"

Chen Zilong and the others were extremely excited and trembling and wanted to stand up, but looking back, Song Qingshu spoke calmly at first, and then waved his hands in an extremely excited way, the old guard who listened was stunned and fell silent.

These are facts, bloody facts!
Temporarily suppressing them, Song Qingshu became even more excited, waving his hands and yelling excitedly at the hundreds of important ministers and generals who were lying down.

"Look at us! These 2000 years! If there are good emperors and virtuous emperors, there will be a rule of Wenjing, Kaiyuan and prosperity. If there is no emperor who is extravagant and lustful, it will be either Suiyang's bad governance, or the chaos of the Eight Kings of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. No matter how weak the Southern Song clan was, it gave in weakly and let the Mongols rule the world. Every time, the emperor's mistake made the world pay a heavy price for it. The people were displaced and paid the price with their lives!"

"Why establish a monarch? Isn't it just to protect the environment and the people, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment? Thousands of years ago, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Emperor Yao, Shun and Yu, were established by the people to serve the people. For selfishness, the public world has been turned into a family world, and one person is supported by all the people. Since Qin Shihuang, the emperor has become the only husband in the world. He always labors for the people of the world with his own desires, and tens of millions of people destroy their homes and sacrifice their blood. The original intention was completely reversed by careerists!"

"Song, Song, Song Qingshu, you, you, what are you going to do?"

Chen Zilong trembled completely, he didn't even use his honorific title, he pointed at Song Qingshu tremblingly, it would be fine if the dynasty changed, but now, Song Qingshu even pointed to the position of the fundamental emperor of the world that has been passed down for thousands of years, even seeing what he meant To get rid of the emperor, for the scholars, it would be like the end of the world.

But listening to Chen Zilong's questioning, Song Qingshu's tone finally softened, and he finally bowed heavily to the pale-faced Chongzhen sitting on the dragon chair with a little respect.

"Your Majesty, please sign the Magna Carta."

In [-], King John of England signed the Magna Carta with his nobles. This was the first document in history that constrains feudal kingship in a constitutional nature, and it laid the foundation for the constitutional monarchy and even democratic politics of later generations. But the Magna Carta , is to guarantee the interests of nobles, country gentlemen, and feudal landlords. Now, Song Qingshu wants to use the Great Charter of Ming Dynasty to officially end the feudal era!
The first article of the "Magna Carta" is the world, the world belongs to the people in the world, and it is not exclusive to one family, one surname and one husband!
Article [-], the emperor is only a symbol of the empire, and shall no longer discuss politics without authorization!

Looking at Sun Chuanting's submission, it was wrapped in imperial silk and written on the most durable parchment. Emperor Chongzhen read every article on it dozens of times, but the real document was placed in front of him. There is still an urge to tear him apart.

With it, the power of the emperor will be completely wiped out, not only him, but the emperors of later generations will also be reduced to the same situation as the emperor of Japan, like a magnificent statue, no matter how beautiful it is, it is just a decoration.

The only difference is that the future described by Song Qingshu can be more free.

The hand holding the vermilion pen trembled violently. For a long time, Zhu Youjian did not sign, and the ministers who listened to the content of the "Magna Carta" also had various expressions on their faces, staring at Zhu Youjian's hand. Beads of sweat the size of peas slid from everyone's foreheads.

But this time, none of the monarch loyalists jumped out to object, because the content of the "Magna Charter" can be regarded as the realization of the long-cherished goal of Donglin, and even the entire scholar-bureaucrat class, the cabinet ruling!

Although it is different from the way traditional literati and bureaucrats pursued to fight against the emperor with strength of character, after going through so many ups and downs from the Chongzhen period to now, everyone is really fed up.

"Your Majesty, is it better to leave a good reputation in history as a king of subjugation, or as a link to maintain the authority of the empire, so that the people will be grateful in the future, and leave a good reputation!"

Holding the "Magna Carta" in both hands, Sun Chuanting, who was already fighting, reminded in a low voice, these words finally brought back to life the petrified Emperor Chongzhen who was like a statue, swallowed all kinds of saliva, and finally signed Zhu With the three characters Youjian, the emperor's seal representing the imperial power of the Ming emperor was imprinted on the "Magna Carta" with a red seal.

On the one hand, Emperor Chongzhen has no choice. If he doesn’t sign today, Song Qingshu will abolish him as the Supreme Emperor and replace Concubine Tian’s son, King Yong. What if, as Song Qingshu said, future generations would be grateful for what he did today?

After signing the Magna Carta, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply leaned on the armrest of the dragon chair and walked to the harem. Seeing the Magna Carta held up high by Sun Chuanting, all the ministers were filled with incomparable emotions. complicated.

Song Qingshu heaved a sigh of relief, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, and now the tiger has been locked in a cage by himself!Starting today, the feudal era of China will end here!

"You guys are simply traitors, traitors!"

Suddenly yelling furiously, Zhu Dadian, the special supervisor of the King of Lu, simply waved his robe, turned around and took the door away, while the great eunuch Lu Jiude also pointed at Song Qingshu tremblingly.

"Hypocrite! You are just setting up a name to realize your ambition of seeking power! Hypocrite!"

"Song will never be emperor! And if any of Song's descendants wants to become emperor, he will also be expelled from the clan! Song once again swears a poisonous oath!"

Facing Lu Jiude, and also facing the ministers who were standing or kneeling below, Song Qingshu raised his hands high, swearing to the sky, watching everyone moved again, but immediately, a smile suddenly appeared in Song Qingshu's eyes. The face is revealed.

"The world, the world is ruled by people, but there are no rules, and there is no square circle. Now, Jiannu is still watching, and there are still a hundred and two Guanzhous that have not been recovered. We need to step up our pace. This commander thinks that the first step is that we need to set up a new one." A law that everyone needs to obey!"

"Let's begin, let's make a constitution!"
