Chapter 391: Ancestral Hall

"Bring it to me. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 Hearing some results, Zhu Youxiao's anger became a little less.

"Your Majesty, please take a look." Wang Yingjiao also presented a hand-copied book.

"Hmm!" Zhu Youxiao nodded, took it and looked at it carefully. However, this look made his lungs almost explode.

"Wang Yingjiao, this is the criminal law you compiled." Zhu Youxiao raised his head and glared at him fiercely, the scroll was lifted by him, and he almost pointed it at the other party's nose, "Look at the first article of your opening chapter, what kind of things are written, officials hurt people without punishment, and the master killed slaves and lost money." ”

Looking at the angry emperor, Wang Yingjiao was instantly stunned, and he said inexplicably, "Your Majesty, this is ...... That's what Da Ming Law says! ”

Hearing his defense, Zhu Youxiao became even more angry, and his chest was blocked a little painful, "That's what your family's Da Ming Law writes!" With a lift of his hand, he smashed the scroll directly on the other man's head.

Crash!

The thread on the spine of the book was loosened, and the loose paper was like snowflakes, sprinkled all over Wang Yingjiao's body, making him look unusually embarrassed.

"If you are asked to re-compile the law, you will add and delete it to me without authorization, and even the laws of the Tang Dynasty have been pulled in by you, so why don't you follow the edict!" Zhu Youxiao roared again and again, and his compelling momentum frightened the people present.

However, in this case, as soon as the two words came out, the faces of all officials still changed dramatically.

When it comes to Dahu, we have to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is a criminal code he compiled, which records many cases of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the punishments are very cruel, and he promulgated it all over the world as a model for punishment, hoping that everyone in the world will abide by it.

However, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Da Hu was left behind and no one cared about it. However, its great fame, Rao is still spreading among officials after so long, and when the emperor mentions it, a chill can't help but come to their hearts from the soles of their feet.

The emperor really wants to reactivate the Great Edict!

This idea can't help but come out of their hearts, if it were other emperors, they might not think like this, but today, known as the Holy Emperor, is very similar to Taizu, and has always put the people first, maybe it is really possible to learn from Taizu, pick up the Great Edict again, and revise and revise it for use.

If the current saint has not been reformed, the civil officials still have enough strength to prevent such a thing, they can compete with Wanli for the country, and in the end, they won, which shows the power of the civil official group. They were divided into factions, but they were quite consistent in their treatment of the emperor.

That is to limit imperial power.

If the Ming Dynasty is not eliminated and develops steadily, either the emperor will overwhelm the civil officials and go to the peak of centralization like the Qing Dynasty, or it will be completely suppressed by the civil officials, complete the hypocrisy, and the bureaucrats will control everything.

In the original history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty settled in the Central Plains to interrupt this process, and at this juncture, it is Zhu Youxiao's official reform that overthrows these. He started with an army of 800 Yulin, gradually strengthened the military power he could control, and imitated the Manchu Qing in history, using force as the backing to seize power from civilian officials.

In the face of this historically proven, brutal and effective method, the civilian-bureaucratic clique was immediately blinded and powerless to resist, so it could only let the emperor act and divide and disintegrate. Sun Chengzong's and Xu Guangqi's strong support, Feng Congwu's change of faΓ§ade is a typical example.

At this moment, after just extinguishing a rebellion, Zhu Youxiao was in a good position, and any decision he made could not be prevented by the opposition of some civilian officials.

Therefore, when the emperor mentioned the great edict, the hearts of all the officials present were hanging, for fear that in a fit of anger, the emperor would really make this decision. You must know that Emperor Chrysostom said that even if it is a decision made in anger, they will carry it out for the sake of face.

"This Wang Qianfu, it's not good to compile the law according to the emperor's will, what are you doing all the nonsense!" The vast majority of officials cursed in their hearts.

"Hurry up and admit your mistake to the emperor, apologize, if you really sacrifice the killing weapon of the Great Edict, you can wait."

Wang Yingjiao read this meaning from the countless eyes that were invested in him, full of persecuted eyes, making him want to cry without tears, it was clearly the meaning of everyone to discuss when he wrote like this, I am just a writer, how come it has become my own pot now!

At present, most of the civil officials in the Hanlin Academy were assigned by the emperor, they were good at learning, but they were full of resentment towards the emperor, and when they received this task, there were disputes, some wanted to formulate a law that tended to be bureaucratic, and some wanted to follow the emperor's will and put the people first.

The two sides quarreled endlessly, and discussed day by day, but as the officials who wanted to codify according to the emperor's will were constantly sent out and entrusted with important tasks, the rest were disgruntled, and it is conceivable how bad the codified criminal law would be under such circumstances.

In front, there was an angry emperor, and behind were countless forced eyes, in desperation, Wang Yingjiao had no choice but to kneel on the ground with a puff, and shouted bitterly, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty, the minister should not ignore the holy will in vain, act recklessly, and the minister deserves death." ”

Bang bang bang!

Then, there was a series of kowtows, and soon Wang Yingjiao's forehead was red, and blood came out. For the future that may still exist, he also fights.

Zhu Youxiao also came over with strong winds and waves, Wang Yingjiao's actions made him sober up a little, and he soon realized that something was wrong, the law was not made up by one person, and it could be compiled like this in the end, and then it was presented, it must have been passed by many people, and there was also a hand tail in it.

"Hmph, a raccoon dog." Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, and Sen Ran's eyes swept over the Hanlin officials present, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

"The law is my golden mouth, and its words are the will of God, and to proclaim them is to convey my words to the people. It is said in the Hadith of the Path that all men are equal before the law, and the law is like me, so everyone is equal before the law. ”

The cold words, like a cold wind blowing, instantly made everyone cold to the bone.

The first sentence of the opening sentence of the Hadith of the Original Way is that before Your Majesty, everyone is equal. And what His Majesty is referring to is Haotian God, the first righteous god of the Han nationality. And now Zhu Youxiao has tampered with this sentence by claiming to be me in person, and he has admitted the rumors in front of him.

Admit that he is the reincarnation of Haotian God, but the deity of the gods. But despite this, Zhu Youxiao is still alive.

This is the first time that Zhu Youxiao has admitted in public that the Emperor of Heaven is worshipping him, the person is still alive, but the incense is flourishing, this is the ancestral hall!

How can this unheard of thing not make people change color! Even Liu Ruoyu, who had been following the emperor and was a firm member of the emperor's faction, couldn't help but be drenched in a cold sweat and flustered at this time.

Well, the ancestral hall that didn't come out at the age of 9,000 years was realized by Zhu Youxiao in another way, history is sometimes so humorous, and this point has become the counterattack of the Ming Shengzu Hei in later generations.

As for the latter, in front of the emperor, everyone is equal, and then it is equal to before the law, everyone is equal, the logic is very simple, but the consequences are very serious.

To say that in front of the emperor, everyone is equal, and everyone can still accept it, after all, nominally speaking, the emperor's status is supreme, and it is life and death for anyone. In a way, it is true that everyone is equal.

However, the adoption of the law is the emperor's discourse and language, and then it is equivalent to the law and the emperor have the same supreme status, the same authority, before the law, everyone is equal, which is unacceptable to all civil officials.

They claim to be disciples of Confucius, yearn for the Spring and Autumn Prison Break, and praise half of the Analects to rule the world, how can they set up a great god named Law on their heads in addition to the emperor?

The connection brought by the phrase equality of all people is very obvious, it can show that all people enjoy the same rights, and they are subject to the same constraints, and the taxes that should be paid, oh, this is already the same, everyone has no agricultural tax, but what taxes will be in the future, who knows.

Thinking about the same treatment as those mud-legged people in the future, all the Hanlin officials were like swallowing flies, and their hearts were extremely uncomfortable.

I am the eldest lord, I am a civil official, I have to enjoy privileges, this trend of thought is very prevalent in the Hanlin Academy at this time, otherwise I would not have written such a criminal law that made Zhu Youxiao angry, and at this moment, the serious consequences of equality for all people made them more uncomfortable than ordinary people.

"Your Majesty must not, this is a betrayal of morality, which is not tolerated by the world!" Someone couldn't help but scream on the spot.

"You're against it?" Zhu Youxiao looked at the official who spoke, sneered again and again, through a series of things, he found that these sour literati don't know how to grow up without fighting, just like sitting on an almost decaying article for a lifetime, enjoying it for a lifetime, not only for himself, but also for his descendants.

Amusing.

didn't give the other party a chance to speak, Zhu Youxiao's hard words directly pronounced the death sentence of the other party, "Left and right, take this person down for me, and hand it over to Jinyiwei for a good investigation!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers who accompanied the protection immediately came out of the queue and dragged the official down.

"Your Majesty spares your life!" Far away, the voice of the official shouting was heard. To deal with these Ming officials, it is still useful to use the old methods, close the door and put the brocade guards!

"Who else is against it now?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a sneer again.

There was silence at the scene, and no one dared to jump out at this time.

"Good." Zhu Youxiao smiled with satisfaction, although the people here are a minority, they represent a point of view in the world, and this point of view must be eliminated, and these big men are disgusted, he must carry it out.

Although it was still an ancient dynasty at this time, some things could still be implemented, it was enough to have officials to press on the people's heads, and the landlords, gentry, literati, and masters still forgot about it.

"Feng Congwu!"

"The minister is here."

"From today on, you will be the head of the Hanlin Academy, the second grade, the orthodoxy of the world, and the revision of the Ming law."

"Obey the order!"
