The senatorship is not an examination, not hereditary, and two-thirds of the quota are royal relatives and nobles, and they are elected once every three years, and they are re-elected after the term is over, and they are re-elected for up to three terms.

The remaining one-third are held by high-profile officials who are highly respected, have complete qualifications, have not entered the cabinet, or have retired from the cabinet.

Major affairs and major laws must be passed outside the Censorate, otherwise they cannot be counted.

From then on, royal relatives and nobles no longer raise pigs, but can also participate in the governance of national major politics.

Similarly, because of becoming a senator, all senators began to accept supervision from society and public opinion, and in addition to exercising power, they also took on considerable responsibilities.

Corresponding to the upper house, the Censorate is referred to as the lower house.

The Prime Minister’s major decisions and cases need to be handed over to the upper and lower houses for voting and obtaining support from the two houses, such as the amendment of budgets and laws, and even the major national policies. If the upper and lower houses do not support it, the Prime Minister will either withdraw the case or step down.

If the voting results of the upper and lower houses on the same case are different, there may be a three-month negotiation and a buffer period, during which the prosecution and the prosecution will convince each other and vote for three times. If no one can convince anyone, the emperor will intervene and make a ruling.

The first president of the upper court was King Yong Zhu Cixu.

...

"A prince breaks the law and commits the same crime to the common people. The king also has laws. The saint's ideal for thousands of years has never been realized in the present!"

"Your Majesty, the most holy emperor from ancient times to the present is also the most holy emperor!"

Huang Zongxi, who was already seventy-two, was extremely moved and bowed north.

...

Under the law, this is a huge legal project that subverts all the things and is facing extremely pressures that ordinary people can imagine.

In the 39th year of Longwu, Emperor Longwu conferred the sixth prince Zhu Hekun as the prince of Yiping County for his contribution to revising the law.

In the 41st year of Longwu, the law was completed and the structure of the upper and lower courts was also supported. Emperor Longwu issued an edict to advance the prince of Yiping, and the sixth prince Zhu Hekun was the king of Yiping.

In the same year, the Jinyi Guard secretly reported to the secret meeting of the King of Liao and some dissatisfied royal families, which seemed to have signs of indiscriminate plots. He also secretly sent people to contact General Li Dingguo, Fuyuan.

Although Emperor Longwu attached importance to it, he did not deal with it immediately. Not only were both inside and outside under control, but he believed that Li Dingguo would not cause trouble, and he also believed that after so many years, the iron law that soldiers were not allowed to interfere in politics had gradually formed in the army, and all the items were restrained. The families of the generals under Li Dingguo were even in the capital. Even though Li Dingguo himself was confused and with his great prestige, he wanted to lead troops to rebellion and help the Liao king fight for the throne, the generals under his command would not follow him.

As long as Li Dingguo keeps his true intentions, the King of Liao has no soldiers and power, and the royal family is even more empty-handed, and may be able to make plans, but they cannot be deviated.

Sure enough, not long after, the Jinyiwei reported again that General Fuyuan Li Dingguo refused to respond, and the King of Liao was depressed and lonely, which was already gone.

In the same year, the "Succession Law of the Throne" was formulated.

...

In the 42nd year of Longwu, General Wu Sangui of Heilongjiang and General Zhou Yuji of Anxi died one after another.

In the same year, the Rakshasa Kingdom failed in Europe and turned its attention to the Far East. Soon, it tore up the Treaty of Nebchu and once again raided the borders of Ming Dynasty.

The new Heilongjiang General Tong Dingfang led the border troops to attack, cross the North Sea, defeated the Luosha Army, and expanded the territory again.

The Rakshasa Kingdom begged for peace, and the two sides agreed on a new treaty.

At the end of this year, the steam engine took shape and various technologies flourished. Emperor Longwu was very happy.

...

In the 43rd year of Longwu, Du Yinxi retired and Zhang Huangyanjin became the chief assistant.

Du Yinxi governed the country for ten years, and the world was determined, with developed industry and agriculture, scientific and technological development, prosperous foreign trade, and thousands of ships along the coastal trading ports. Compulsory education and land reform were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many laws and systems were determined and standardized. Chinese and foreign martial arts were invincible, and the population reached an astonishing 300 million, which was known in history as the "Sun Du Governance".

Although he retired, Emperor Longwu was rewarded with a mansion and was allowed to live in the capital.

In the same year, King Yi became the deputy priest of the Army Martial Arts Hall and the Navy Martial Arts Hall, and instead of Emperor Longwu, presided over all major ceremonies.

In the 48th year of Longwu, Emperor Longwu, who was already 68 years old, summoned all his ministers and took out the will of Gaozang after "Respecting Heaven and Law Ancestor" and read it in public.

It turned out that in the 33rd year of Longwu, Emperor Longwu clearly wrote in his will the will of the sixth prince Zhu Hekun.

Only then did the ministers realize that Emperor Longwu had a long-standing relationship with King Wing.

On the same day, Emperor Longwu Zhu Cilang announced his abdication and became the Supreme Emperor.

King Yi inherited the throne and became the 18th emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike the past, what Emperor Longwu gave him was a completely new and prosperous empire.

Unlike the emperors of all dynasties, the Wing King was also an enlightened, innovative and alternative king with considerable modern ideas.

Before the ceremony of abdication and succession, Emperor Longwu summoned King Yi to the Ganqing Palace and showed him a secret stone tablet to follow.

----The king is under the law, the real truth of the king, and the constitutional monarchy are the three stages of the development of the state's political system and the future direction. All descendants of the Zhu family must follow the trend and strictly abide by the law. They must not use military power to obstruct them, nor must they reverse the history. If there is any violation, the sky will be eaten!

The Wing King knelt in front of the stone tablet and sweared.

This will be the case for every successor emperor in the future.

King Yi succeeded to the throne and his reign was Xining.

...

Emperor Longwu became the Supreme Emperor and went to Chengqian Palace to live and changed to Ningshou Palace. From then on, he ignored government affairs and handed over them all to Emperor Xining.

...

Three years in Xining.

General Li Laiheng of Anxi crossed Benga Lake and arrived in Delhi, defeated 200,000 enemy coalition forces, beheaded countless people, and blocked the Ganges rivers.

...

In the fourth year of Xining, the governor of the Taiwan Navy and the prince's tutor Zheng Sen died of illness in Malacca.

...

In the sixth year of Xining, news came that General Li Ding of Fuyuan went hunting abroad and suddenly died of illness on the way. Before that, Dorgon, who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, was ordained at Fahua Temple and passed away on the same day, with his name Huitong.

The autumn wind fell down the leaves, and old friends passed away one after another. For a moment, Emperor Longwu felt something. In October, the Supreme Emperor Longwu personally went to the Heroes Temple to worship. When he saw the familiar names engraved on the tablets in the Heroes Temple, he could not think of himself, and he almost burst into tears.

...

That night, lightning and thunder were roaring, and heavy rain, and the turtles in Daming Lake came ashore in groups.

Emperor Longwu suddenly became anxious and could not move.

Emperor Xining arrived anxiously.

Concubine Naren and Concubine Li gathered around Emperor Longwu's bed, tears fell like rain.

Holding the hands of the second concubine, Emperor Longwu quietly died with a smile on his face.

Before he whispered: "Everything has a law, like a dream, a bubble, a shadow, a dew, and a lightning..."

...

The news came out that Jingyang bell rang thirty-six times, the world was covered with mourning, and all the people were mourning, and cries were everywhere in Jiuzhou.

...

Emperor Longwu Zhu Cilang was in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. His country was in decline and his building was about to collapse. When he was in his prime, he was under the command of a defeated army. He was ordered to pacify the army in the capital camp. Then Zhuxianzhen won a great victory and defeated Li Chuang. He resisted Jianlu and entered the frontier twice. He personally conquered Ukr, turned the tide and helped the building fall. He succeeded to the throne without fear of difficulties. He was determined to reform, knew people and used it well, and was frugal and self-disciplined. The country's finances and taxes increased dramatically. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Finally, they prepared for their troops, recovered Liaodong, recovered Taiwan, and opened up the Western Regions, and followed the world.

Not to mention, under the law, the king determines the boundaries of the monarchy, cuts down the imperial power, and condemns himself and forgives others, which has never been done in ancient times.

The posthumous title is "Shenwu".
