    In the monarchical and patriarchal society of ancient China, one of the most hypocritical things was the emperor's "three promotions" before he ascended the throne.  šIWhat is the "Three Pushes and Gives" gift?  People who want to be emperors have been thinking about it for years and decades. This is something everyone knows. However, before taking the throne, they appear to be in no hurry. They must put on a show and talk about ascending to the throne and becoming emperor.  , it is not my will, but destiny, but the people's support, but for the overall situation, and the result of everyone's recommendation. I ascended to the throne as a last resort. I had to give up the throne once, twice, and three times. Finally, in  With the support of all the people, he reluctantly accepted everyone's support and ascended the throne.

    And the words of King Xi completely tore off this fig leaf. Although it seemed vulgar and crude, it made all the civil and military ministers under his command feel trembling. It seems that King Xi is a very practical person.

    Then the King of the West said loudly: "I ascend to the throne of emperor in order to calm the soldiers and people of the world. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has abdicated the throne. Now that Zhengshuo has returned to me, I can no longer shirk it. How can this world still be peaceful?"  Will there be no master in the day? Or do I have to refuse to the little emperor of the Qing Dynasty three times and let the little emperor remain emperor for a few more days?"

    As soon as these words came out, the ministers felt suddenly enlightened. The meaning of King Xi's words was very clear. The world Zhengshuo returned to the Han people. As the leader of the new Han people, King Xi certainly could not give up and push the emperor back. Naturally, it was  He should take over immediately, and it should be done naturally. If there is any false courtesy, it will be a very sensitive political issue.

    Li Tangjie, an old official of the Qing Dynasty, and others below the rank were slightly shocked. It seemed that this King of the West seemed rude, but he thought deeper than ordinary people.  The Han people were destined to return to Zhengshuo.  The Han people have regained power in the world. As the leader of the Han people, it is impossible for them to give in to a Manchu emperor.

    Xiao Yungui looked at the reactions of the ministers and then said: "But the enthronement ceremony cannot be handled hastily. Qian Jiang, Yuan Jiasan, and Li Tangjie, the three of you are responsible for preparing for the enthronement ceremony. In addition to this enthronement ceremony, I also want to participate  When something new comes in, it¡¯s the founding ceremony of the People¡¯s Republic of China!¡±

    Li Tangjie suddenly heard the King of the West mention his name and trembled all over. Hearing that the King of the West asked him to meet with Qian Jiang and Yuan Jiasan to hold the enthronement ceremony. This was the first priority of the new dynasty and a matter of supreme honor.  I couldn't help but feel agitated in my heart. It should be noted that the coronation of the new emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was no less grand than the coronation of Ming Taizu of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago. He was able to participate in this grand event of the restoration of the Han Dynasty by the Han people.  Li Tangjie would definitely be famous for a long time in the future. Li Tangjie did not expect that the King of the West would involve himself, an old official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Naturally, he was a little agitated. The other old officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty looked at him with a hint of jealousy.

    After Li Tangjie was agitated, he immediately began to think deeply. What did the King of the West mean by the founding ceremony of the country?

    Just listen to the King of the West speaking loudly on the jade steps outside the Qianqing Palace: "Throughout the past dynasties, all dynasties have only had the emperor's accession to the throne, and there has been no mention of the founding of the country. As a result, our people have only known about the court for thousands of years, but not about the country.  . In our era of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of China, there are already many powerful countries in the world, and each country has a national constitution when it was founded. This national constitution determines the state and political system, stipulates the rights and obligations of our citizens, and further defines our country.  The overall affairs. It is the foundation of the founding of the country. This king wants to promulgate the "Dingguo Shizhao" to establish the country and the constitution on the founding ceremony of the country. It will set the foundation for the founding of the country in the future. At the same time, at the founding ceremony, the king also  The capital, national flag, national anthem, national emblem, etc. must be determined. Everything that represents a country must be determined by the king."

    This passage made Li Tangjie feel as if he was in a cloud. What is the National Constitution?  But it sounds like King Xi¡¯s explanation makes sense. Other countries can easily understand it, and the national flag can probably be understood. What are the national anthems and national emblems used for?  Li Tangjie looked at Yuan Jiasan with doubtful eyes, and saw that Yuan Jiasan seemed a little confused, but Qian Jiang's eyes did not flicker. Obviously Qian Jiang knew the context of this matter.  Li Tangjie, suddenly enlightened, understood that Qian Jiang had already figured out this matter before, and he and Yuan Jiasan just went along with it.

    The King of the West also seemed to see the confused eyes of the old Manchu and Qing ministers below him, and then said: "Zuo Zongtang, the prime minister who stayed in Nanjing, and a group of ministers have been planning this matter for half a year. Later, the prime minister came to Beijing. Naturally,  I will hand over these affairs to you, don't worry about the time being tight." Following the King of the West, he looked at Li Xiucheng who led the troops back to the capital and said: "In addition to this grand ceremony of founding the country and enthroning the throne, I will also  If you want to hold a military parade, Xiu Cheng, the main force of the military parade will be composed of soldiers from your First Army. Originally, all other troops should be paraded, but now that the battlefields across the country are at the final moment, it should not affect the overall war, so  The troops near the capital should be the main subjects of the review."

    Li Xiucheng immediately stood at attention and saluted and said loudly: "I guarantee that the mission will be completed!" This military parade was quite popular in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and every soldier who graduated from the military academy attended the parade.The troops had to participate in the final military parade before the flags were awarded and officially formed into the army, so Li Xiucheng was not worried about anything going wrong.

    After saying these things, the King of the West walked into the Palace of Qianqing, and the ministers followed him. However, they saw dozens of maids and eunuchs in the Palace of Qianqing kneeling in the palace. When the King of the West came in, they all kowtowed loudly and said, "Welcome to the West."  Wang Shengjia."

    Xiao Yungui frowned, started to say something first, then turned around and asked: "Who is in charge of the Manchurian Internal Affairs Office? Is he here?"

    Qingfeng, the old prince of the Qing Dynasty, trotted forward in a hurry, bowed and said: "Going back to His Highness the King of the West, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was originally in charge of Prince Chun Yixuan, but today he did not come. He was ill at home, and the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are temporarily suspended.  Led by slaves."

    Xiao Yungui made a sound and said: "Qingfeng, there is no need to say the word slave again. What our kingdom of heaven preaches is equality. Everyone is born as brothers and sisters. No one is anyone else's slave. We are just our own."  It¡¯s just that the positions he holds are different. Moreover, the title slave is an old custom of the Qing Dynasty, so we won¡¯t mention it again in the new dynasty.¡±

    Qingfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed and said: "Yes, yes, slaveoh, Weichen made a mistake."

    Xiao Yungui followed up and said: "I have already said before that the eunuchs and maids in this palace must pay travel expenses and a settlement fee, and then let them go home. Why are there so many eunuchs and maids in the palace?  "

    Qingfeng snorted and said, "The Holy King of the West has just come to Beijing in the past few days. This palace is very big. All the people were dismissed at once, for fear of lack of people to clean and protect daily. Therefore, it has not been done yet."

    Xiao Yungui said oh, and then he saw an old eunuch knelt down and cried and said: "Your Highness the King of the West, slaves and others stay in the palace to serve others all their lives. At this time, the old slaves have no relatives outside the palace.  If His Highness lets the old slave go home, the old slave will be homeless at all. I beg the King of the West to let the old slave stay and serve His Highness." As soon as these words came out, many eunuchs and maids also begged together, and for a while  There was a commotion in the palace.

    Qingfeng¡¯s forehead was covered with sweat again.  He yelled loudly: "What a grace it is for His Highness to let you go home. Why are you dog slaves so noisy? Anyone who comes will be dragged down and given thirty lashes!"

    The King of the West frowned and coughed softly and said: "Qingfeng, you don't have to come up just to beat and scold me. Well, it seems that the King has not thought carefully about this matter. Not all people who work in the palace are from poor families.  Can't they survive? It's really inconvenient to let them go home with disabilities." After pondering for a moment, King Xi said again: "Well, Qingfeng, it's up to you to handle this matter. Give them a few days to think about it.  Those who are willing to go home will receive their travel expenses and go home. Those who are not willing to go home will stay and look after the palace. However, they will no longer be eunuchs and maids in the future. They are all called inner court service personnel and will be given a monthly salary. From now on, they will all be palace servants.  Hired service personnel. No longer slaves."

    Qingfeng was confused when he heard this, but he still agreed.  I thought to myself that I would have to ask more of the Taiping ministers to see what the King of the West's inner court service staff wanted to accomplish.

    Following Xiao Yungui, he said: "Speaking of this slave thing. I thought of another thing. After the founding of our new country, the concept of domestic slaves will no longer be practiced in this country. I want to  The Slavery Abolition Act is gradually being promoted in the country, which means that in the future, all domestic slaves and maids in each family will return to their free bodies, and all the labor needed by each family will be recruited. In other words, there will be no domestic slaves in the future, only an employment relationship.  , so everyone understands?"

    The abolition bill that Xiao Yungui mentioned was actually quietly promoted in some places under the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River. Workers hired in various factories were on an employment relationship, and a large number of tenants, domestic slaves, etc. caused by feudal land relations still existed.  Among them, it was imperative to abolish slavery after the founding of the country.

    As soon as these words came out, Qingfeng and others were stunned. Do you think they can't buy and sell labor to become their own slaves in the future?  In the past, when you bought a maid or a domestic slave and paid a sum of money to buy it out, you only had to give them food and drink. Will you have to pay them a monthly salary in the future?  Moreover, these domestic slaves can leave whenever they want, and there will be no bond of sale?

    Qian Jiang stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, this large family's purchase of domestic slaves and maids has been a practice for thousands of years. It would be inappropriate to abolish it at once." Qingfeng and others saw someone speaking out, and  Qian Jiang was a very powerful person, so he naturally followed suit.

    The King of the West made a sound and said: "That's true. Not only do we have many slaves in the Central Plains, but also in Tibet, Mongolia and other places, most of them still have slave social systems. Well, let's do this. You guys first discuss a charter for implementation.  , let's see how to implement it, but we still have to implement the abolition of slavery." When Qingfeng and others heard that they had come out with the charter, they said that they were just like the previous court, and they could let it go in the long debate.  So I agreed with a lot of laughter.??.

    After looking around the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Yungui, who was used to seeing big scenes, didn't take it seriously at all. He didn't show the astonishment that a peasant should have when entering the palace, so much so that the Manchu officials couldn't help but look at the King of the West.  However, they didn't know that this King of the West had seen more magnificent modern buildings in later generations.

    After looking at the plaque of Qianqing Palace, Xiao Yungui just said: "Replace all the plaques in this palace. From now on, Chinese will be the national language, and the Manchu language will no longer need to be the language of a country." Qingfeng and others hurriedly took notes.  Come on, this errand is easy to handle.  Xiao Yungui followed and asked: "Where does the former Queen Mother of the Western Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty live now?"

    Qingfeng and others had a sudden thought, but Qingfeng still said: "I and the young emperor of the previous dynasty are temporarily living in Chuxiu Palace. The other concubines of the previous dynasty are also staying in their own palaces, waiting for His Highness's death."

    Xiao Yungui hummed and then said: "That's it for today. Everyone goes home first. We will have a morning meeting here tomorrow. Some personnel appointments will be made, and then there will be errands assigned. Let's disperse today." Followed.  Xiao Yungui said: "Qingfeng, please stay for a while and take me to Chuxiu Palace to see" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
