A long night.

That night, Zhang Chao, Ma Zhou, Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others were discussing the next deployment. However, Chu Suiliang, Cen Wenben, Wei Zheng and others began to draft the "Constitution" as Zhang Chao ordered.

The law of contract was agreed upon by Zhang Chao and everyone in advance. After Zhang Chao ascended the throne, he would agree to everyone's constitution. In order to make everyone believe and support, he would first draft a law before Zhang Chao ascended the throne, and make a promise to implement constitution after ascending the throne, and to maintain the rights and interests of the princes and court officials.

This agreement is also an important step for the two houses to convene a meeting tomorrow to obtain the support of these members of the parliament. This agreement is indispensable to allow the smooth handover of power and minimize the impact of the change of dynasties.

When Liu Bang entered the pass, he made three rules.

Now, Zhang Chao also wants to make a decision with the nobles, ministers and members of the parliament.

The most important content of the law is to protect the feudal law, ensure the parliamentary system, ensure the imperial examination system, and ensure the new policy since Zhenguan.

Basically, the purpose of the contract is to maintain the status quo and safeguard the interests of the nobles, bureaucrats, literati, and industrial and commercial landlords. In addition, the contract will also clearly require Zhang Chao to promise to formulate a constitution after ascending the throne, and ensure all this in a clear manner in the law.

Hanjing has been martial law.

A group of soldiers drove into the city, and the streets were filled with soldiers wearing helmets and armor.

All city gates were closed, and the people were asked to stay at home, close their doors, and prohibited from going out to the streets and walking around. All shops were also asked to close their doors and businesses, and even the bustling night markets were closed.

Checkpoints are set up at intersections and soldiers patrol the streets.

The soldiers read out the martial law orders loudly over and over again.

It was a sleepless night.

All the people in the capital knew that something big happened, but few people really knew what happened.

Some people were just speculating that during the day, the Grand Tutor Zhang Chao returned to Beijing, and then in the evening, the army entered the city, and the whole city was under martial law.

Some people think that maybe the emperor has taken action against Zhang Chao.

Some people are thinking that maybe Zhang Chao has attacked the emperor.

Dawn.

The morning breeze in May is cool.

Many people are eager to open the doors and windows.

There are still teams of soldiers on the street.

A businessman plucked up the courage to open the door and poked his head out to watch. Not far away, a team of soldiers stood guard, but he did not scold him when he saw his actions.

He became a little bolder and opened the door completely.

After waiting for a while, he took a step, walked out of the door, and stood on the street.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, and the headlines of Times. Last night, His Majesty suddenly fell seriously ill and summoned the prime minister to the palace overnight, and issued an imperial edict to the Prime Minister Zhang Chao, the regent in the south!"

A newspaper boy was carrying two shoulder bags, and his crisp screams broke the atmosphere that was too quiet in the morning.

"The morning report of Hanjing, Your Majesty gave the Prime Minister of Anguo nine gifts, fake yellow axe, and the south is regent!"

·······

He was given nine tins, fake yellow axe, and the south was regent.

For a moment, many people immediately understood what happened that night.

"Give me a copy of every newspaper!"

A non-commissioned officer shouted at a few boys selling newspapers, but the newspaper boy was brave and was not afraid of these soldiers. He smiled and sent a copy of each newspaper. The non-commissioned officer took out his wallet and gave the money.

"Staff Officer Wang, I miss you for us." The non-commissioned officer bought the newspaper, but he couldn't recognize many words. He smiled and handed the newspaper to a young man next to him. He was a staff officer, a pride of heaven who graduated from the martial arts hall, and also the officer who led the team of their people.

These soldiers received the order yesterday evening and then entered the city, but they were actually confused. They had no idea what had happened, they only knew that obeying was their duty.

Now that I heard the contents of the newspaper, I finally understood what was going on.

The dynasty is about to change.

The young staff officer picked up the newspaper and started to recite it. The newspaper was written in detail, and it was printed overnight. In fact, the content was provided directly by Zhang Chao, so that the people in the capital could know the situation immediately through various newspapers early this morning.

Moreover, this newspaper will be sold everywhere, and the whole world will quickly know the situation in the court.

It is also very important to control public opinion through newspapers, etc. and avoid people’s random speculation.

In these newspapers, the official statement was that Cheng Qian had a sudden stroke, just like the Emperor at that time. Now the emperor has a stroke and has half of his body, and he can no longer come to the court to govern. So last night, the important officials entered the palace overnight and discussed with the emperor, and finally decided to be regent to the cabinet Prime Minister Zhang Chao, who had just returned to Beijing.

The emperor also specially granted Zhang Chao Jiuxi and fake Huang Yue.

From now on, the emperor will recuperate in the palace, and all the affairs of the court will be handed over to Zhang Chao, the general leader of all officials, and the troops in the world will be controlled.

The merchant from the shop next to him couldn't help but move over to listen to the news. The soldiers saw this action, but no one drove him away.

After a while, more and more businessmen and friends opened the door from the store and came together to listen to the staff and read the newspaper, and surrounded them.

"This afternoon, the Regent will hold an extraordinary meeting of the two houses in the House of Representatives to discuss the court affairs with the members..."

Zhang Chao became the regent.

Zhang Chao added Jiuxi and fake Huang Yue.

Many knowledgeable people have already thought that Zhang Chao is going to be the emperor.

Although the newspaper said that the emperor had a sudden storm yesterday and had hemiplegia, not many people believed it. If the emperor had just had a stroke, he would need to transfer so many troops into the capital, would he need martial law?

Moreover, even if the emperor had a stroke, he didn't have to add Zhang Chao to regent. The Prime Minister was the chief executive to take charge of the government!

morning.

All the soldiers entering Beijing received orders to lift the martial law, the people could go to the streets and merchants could open their doors. However, they had to go to and from the city to inspect, and the soldiers were still patrolling and standing guard in the city.

The mansions of Changsun Wuji and many others were still surrounded and no one was allowed to enter and exit.

Many people in the capital were eating breakfast while discussing the situation.

There are three or five friends and acquaintances, and there are no taboos when chatting in private.

"It seems that the Grand Master is going to be the emperor."

One person said, "It's good to be the emperor of the Grand Master."

"I also support the Taishi as the emperor."

"After the Taishi became the emperor, our current system and policies will not change, right?" Some people were a little worried.

"What's going on? These policies are now first proposed by the Taishi."

This statement has received support from many people, "No, if there were no changes in the new law of Taishi, how could there be a good life today?"

·······

The officials in the capital also received orders from the above in the morning to ask them to have a meeting in the yamen.

The leaders and officials of each yamen conveyed the latest trends above to their subordinates.

Anyway, now that the Prime Minister is regent, everyone should cheer up and do their job well, and firmly support the Regent.

Wait until noon.

The officials, generals, and the two members of the council were notified that a special meeting of the two houses would be held in the afternoon.

Council office.

The soldiers have long been guarding each other.

Yesterday, Zhang Chao, Ma Zhou and others did not leave in the palace overnight, and they discussed the deployment all night long.

After a casual lunch, I came to the parliament hall.

Zhang Chao was riding in the Jinlu cart.

The carriage was guarded by the imperial guards from the palace city in the north, and along the way, many people came to greet each other. Now the people of the entire Hanjing understood almost that the Grand Tutor was about to become the emperor.

For Zhang Chao's safety, Xue Rengui and others asked Zhang Chao to sit in the carriage and not show up in case of accidents.

In fact, Zhang Chao really wants to show off and romance with the people, but it is indeed not safe at the moment.

The carriage arrived in front of the parliament and Wei Zheng came forward.

"Regent, both members of the council arrived, and officials from all the government offices in the capital also came."

Zhang Chao nodded, "Very good, let's go in."

At this time, the two sessions are held to announce the content of the agreement to the parliamentarians and officials in order to win the support of these parliamentarians and officials.

The members of the parliament represented the princes, literati, and industrial and commercial landlords. It is very important to obtain their support. A constitution can give everyone a reassurance.

Enter the hall.

Thousands of Beijing officials and congressmen stood up one after another.

Xu Jingzong and Su Lie took the lead in applauding.

So, there was thunderous applause in the hall.

Before coming, the officials and the members of the parliament received some news and knew it. Today's meeting is to announce the law, which is the law made by Regent Zhang Chao and everyone.

What method to do?

The law guarantees that everyone's interests will not change, and that the current new policy will not change. In short, the emperor will change, but everything else will not change.
To be continued...
