Chapter 1,293 Up to thirty years!
After eating a portion of the cake, Qin Mo felt a lot more relaxed.
When it comes to legislating for the Supreme Emperor, this is part of the plan.
With the foundation of the new law, there will be room for implementation if legislation is given to the Supreme Emperor.
As for a constitutional monarchy, that's not very feasible.
However, it will become common to stipulate the emperor's retirement time, the arrival of two emperors in the future, or even three emperors to rule at the same time.
But if you don't do it well, another situation will occur.
The emperor's rights were not divided, or a certain emperor was unwilling to go down so early and wanted to cause trouble.
Over time, the law will collapse.
But for now, this is the best way.
He could see that Li Shilong wanted to complete the grand event of the Three Emperors ruling the world.
This kind of grand event is rare in the world.
Even in another world, there is no such grand occasion as the three emperors living together.
This not only requires the emperor to live longer, but also requires the emperor to give up the power in his hands.
For example, a certain old man named Shiquan, who had been in office for sixty years, made a so-called abdication because he was unwilling to break Kang Mazi's record of sixty-one years in office.
But he still couldn't let go of the rights in his hands and continued to ignore his son's rights.
After kicking his legs, the son killed all those ignorant ministers.
The first one to bear the brunt is He Shen.
There is a saying that goes well, if Heshen falls, Jiaqing will be full!
It's meant to be a joke, but it shows the greed of human nature and the excessive pursuit of power.
Qin Mo is a student of history, and he sees things more clearly than ordinary people.
So this is too idealistic.
However, Li Shilong came over in high spirits, so it was hard for him to interrupt, right?
More than an hour later, Li Shilong put down the Pai Gow in his hand and said, "It's boring. I'm the only one who wins. It's boring to fight with you!"
He still likes to play cards with Qin Mo. He loses more every time, and then occasionally he wins a big one, which is very exciting!
"Jingyun, what are you thinking?" Li Shilong asked.
"I have a little immature idea, I don't know whether it is good or bad. Let's take it as a reference." Qin Mo said: "Let me talk about the responsibilities of the Supreme Emperor first. If you want to specify the retirement time, then it is best for men to be fifty-five years old and for women.
He is fifty years old (the lifespan of the ancients was short. Based on the epitaph records of the Tang Dynasty, the average life expectancy is fifty-nine, and those who can afford epitaphs are poor at last. So the actual life span should be lower)!
If the emperor abdicates at the age of fifty-five, he can indeed be called an old man.
However, with the current development of medicine and the increase in food production, the average life span of Daqian people will increase in the next few decades.
In the future, people over the age of seventy and eighty will become more and more common.
Therefore, the retirement age will inevitably be extended in the future.
At the age of the old man, he is over seventy. To put it bluntly, one extra year of his life is wealth to us younger generations.
But if it was the emperor who abdicated due to Gang Zen, what would he be responsible for?
military power?
Political affairs?
No matter which one is suitable, right?"
Li Shilong couldn't help but nodded, "It's indeed inappropriate!"
"So in the future, what the Supreme Emperor can do is actually very limited. He cannot interfere in government affairs or military power.
All I can think of are associations for the protection of women and children, medical development, increased food production, education, charities, and... You can submit what you see and hear, and the state's insufficiency of memorial, to the emperor.
Help Xinhuang pick up the leaks.
And in order to avoid any discord, he will not interfere in political affairs or military affairs.
You can give opinions, but you cannot directly ask questions." Qin Mo said.
"That's right." Dou Xuanling nodded, "The current situation is that with the three emperors coming to court, the Supreme Emperor has actually done a good job."
Yu Boshi said: "In fact, looking back at history, many emperors were extravagant in their later years, and the national treasury was completely consumed in enjoyment."
There are too many examples of this, including a certain old man who goes to Jiangnan every day and pays private visits incognito every day, wasting people and money.
For example, Lao Li from another world was actually quite dim in his later years.
Li Shilong said: "The Women and Children's Protection Association is a matter of the harem. I cannot be allowed to interfere in women's affairs. This is not okay.
We should pay more attention to medical development.
Education currently belongs to the Ministry of Rites, and the weight of the Ministry of Rites is now much higher than before. Academies are being established in various states, providing opportunities for people from poor families to rise.
It's not something I'm suitable to take care of.
You can pay attention to food. No matter when and where, food is the most basic guarantee. People must eat and drink enough to survive.
Charities are not very good either, I don’t need fame.
It’s good to fill in the gaps.”
Lao Liu is still quite sober.
Qin Mo continued: "Medical care and food are the two areas of people's livelihood, and they are also the basis. You can pay attention to them.
But you cannot look for the so-called immortality. There is longevity in this world, but there is no immortality.
If there really is immortality, I believe this would have been ruled by one of them long ago.
If you believe that, you might as well exercise more."
"You bastard, why don't you mention me by name?" Li Shilong's nose was so angry that he was so angry. Didn't this bitch just talk about him again?
"I didn't say it was you." Qin Mo said: "How many of the emperors who Xunxian asked had a good ending?
Either he died from taking drugs, or he became comatose in his old age?
Isn’t this to prevent future generations from messing around, so we have to set rules to avoid getting into trouble!”
"Okay, okay, keep talking!" Li Shilong got angry and lit a cigarette.
"The second is the time for retirement. I think the emperor must retire after he has been in power for thirty years. A man's energy gradually decreases when he is forty, and when he is fifty or even sixty, he basically has no motivation.
Take Lao Ba as an example. He is twenty-six this year and a little younger than me.
If he turns thirty, thirty years later, he will be sixty years old.
Could it be that these thirty years were not enough for him to cultivate a qualified emperor?
By the time his son gets here, he will be in his thirties, and when he is about to retire, he will probably be in his seventies.
As I get older, I can no longer straighten my back.
Therefore, it is basically difficult for three emperors to appear at the same time in the future, and it is usually two emperors who come to the throne.
Therefore, thirty years is actually a long time, and twenty-five years is more appropriate.
A person can live more than seventy years, which is already very good.
How many emperors in the past dynasties lived past the age of seventy?
Not many people live past sixty.
According to the data, if you retire in your fifties, take a good rest, and live to your seventies or eighties, there is still hope of seeing the third generation of emperors come up!"
Li Shilong thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.
Li Yue's son is already three or four years old. If he remains emperor for another twenty-five years, Li Yue's son will basically be thirty.
By analogy, he is indeed old enough.
"But where are the methods for managing the prince? Not the eldest son will definitely inherit the throne, so be more humane and make twenty-five to thirty years, with the five years in between used to deal with emergencies!" Qin Mo took a deep breath, "
