The two old men have always been highly respected in the court, and although they no longer have real power in their hands, their words also have a lot of influence in the court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old general Jin has always been upright, and when he heard the old uncle Wang refute him like this, he was not happy in his heart, and immediately shot back: "This time the king of Shenjun is plotting rebellion, fortunately Your Majesty is wise and has taken precautions, otherwise if the treacherous plan of the king of Shenjun succeeds, my Great Wei will inevitably usher in a bloody storm." He sinned so great that he slaughtered all his doors, and he could not atone for his sins by death. Even if the old prince values the royal bloodline, can you ignore the safety of His Majesty and the stability of the Great Wei River? ”

Uncle Wang also became angry when he heard this: "This case of conspiracy against the county, Your Majesty handed it over to the king of Rongjun for trial, and all departments of the Criminal Department have submitted all kinds of evidence, which are listed one by one in accordance with the law and order, and the words are reasonable and well-founded, and the sentence of the criminal punishment is based on evidence, and the handling is proper and there is no favoritism." If General Jin thinks that this judgment is lenient, you should first write a book of the Great Wei New Law Decree and then talk about it! ”

"I don't like to hear what the old prince says, one yard is one yard, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and some people have bad intentions and want to replace him. If such crimes are not severely punished, it is difficult to say that no crowd will take action. is to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, and Your Majesty can't let it go lightly! ”

"Hey, I don't understand, General Jin, is this necessary to make King Shenjun and the others happy if they cut off their sons? If Your Majesty really follows what you said, and behead King Shenjun and his henchmen, it will definitely be a scene of rivers of blood. Old General Jin wants His Majesty to leave a brutal name to pass on to future generations?! ”

……

The two of them went back and forth several times, and Emperor Taichang listened with relish when he was sitting.

In the end, it was the old man, and after talking for a long time, everyone was a little unbearable, and finally stopped the war temporarily.

Emperor Taichang said at this time: "Come here, show General Jin and Uncle Wang, and serve tea." ”

The two were busy thanking, and the old Uncle Wang took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty is lenient, presumably it will not cause the fish in the pond to be affected by the fire at the city gate." ”

Old General Jin snorted coldly.

Emperor Taichang smiled, motioned for the two to sit widely, and then said, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

The ministers in the palace looked at each other without saying a word.

"Since no one has spoken out, then presumably, the words of General Jin and Uncle Wang represent the opinions of most of you." Emperor Taichang said: "That being the case, agree with what the old general said, and stand behind the old general." agreed with what Uncle Wang said and stood behind Uncle Wang. ”

The old general Jin and the old uncle sat on the left and right sides of Emperor Taichang, and the courtiers were originally standing according to their official positions and positions.

Emperor Taichang said: "It's time to have a cup of tea with you." ”

Emperor Taichang got up and went to the apse, Liu Tong hesitated, but still followed, leaving a noisy sound in the hall.

"Imperial Brother ......" Liu Tong was half a step behind Emperor Taichang, frowned and said: "Is there any special meaning for this move of Imperial Brother?" ”

Emperor Taichang let people serve tea, motioned for Liu Tong to sit down, and said with a smile: "Oh, I just don't want to listen to their noise, so I just wait for them to finish arguing." ”

Emperor Taichang moistened his throat and asked about Liu Tong's recent situation in the Criminal Department.

Liu Tong pondered and said: "Although the "Great Wei Law" made by the ancestors includes almost all criminal responsibilities, there are still some omissions in the details. When the courtiers searched for explanations of the crimes of King Shenjun and others, many of them could not find the basis of the criminal law. ”

Emperor Taichang nodded: "Then what do you think?" ”

"The younger brother is brave and feels that although the general principles and outline of "Da Wei Law" are all masterpieces, they still need to be filled with fullness. According to the "Great Wei Law", there will always be times when the power is not enough. ”

"So what?"

"The courtier's brother asks for an edict, hoping to summon talents from the law department to compile the new "Great Wei Law" and revise and improve it on the basis of the original "Great Wei Law".

Liu Tong looked at Emperor Taichang and hesitated: "I'm afraid of this move...... There is a suspicion of blasphemy against the ancestors. ”

Emperor Taichang smiled, put down the teacup and said, "Since you have this heart, let it go." ”

"Brother ...... Emperor"

"If the ancestors knew your heart, they would have been relieved." Emperor Taichang stretched out his hand and patted Liu Tong's shoulder: "From ancient times to the present, whether it is the royal family or the people, there has never been anything immutable. The ancients said that we can listen and learn, but we can't stick to the rules. There has been a gap of 100 years between the formulation of the Great Wei Law and the present, which is suitable for the situation at that time, but not necessarily for today's scene. The shortcomings should be eliminated, corrected, and improved. ”

Emperor Taichang took another sip of tea, raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, it's time for a cup of tea, let's go." ”

Emperor Taichang reappeared on the main hall, looking at the two sides of the clear distinction, and some of them stood remotely, as if they were unwilling to stand in line, Emperor Taichang wrote down the general faces of these courtiers, hooked his lips and smiled: "It seems that Zhuqing has been chosen." ”

The hall suddenly fell silent, and Emperor Taichang looked around and said clearly: "The criminal department plays, I play, quasi-play." ”

The courtiers were in an uproar.

"Your Majesty......" Old General Jin looked at Emperor Taichang in astonishment.

He thought that Emperor Taichang was hoping to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so he gave them a cup of tea to stand. He took this opportunity to attract many courtiers to his camp, and the number was indeed more than that of Uncle Wang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as His Majesty came back, he was allowed to play the punishment method played by the Criminal Department.

Then what is Your Majesty taking a cup of tea to give them a standing position?

Your Majesty, you don't play cards according to the routine!

Emperor Taichang naturally didn't care about what the courtiers were thinking at this moment, he stood up from the throne and said in a low but clear voice: "The trial of the criminal department is carried out in accordance with the law, and you and other people who are not involved in the case, what qualifications do you have to decide the punishment of the criminal?" The law of the country is greater than the sky, and I hope that all of you can remember this, and don't think that you can override the law of the country and the law by your own strength. ”

The ministers felt sorry in their hearts, and immediately bowed their heads and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”

Emperor Taichang no longer mentioned the rebellion of the king of Shenjun, and he didn't care about the courtiers who were clearly divided between the two sides of the order, and only talked about things in the next book.

Liu Tong stood on the hall, his heart moved slightly.

After the early dynasty, he returned to the county prince's mansion and told Chang Runzhi about Emperor Taichang's "child's play" to let the ministers stand on the throne today, as well as about letting him rebuild the "Great Wei Law".

Chang Runzhi thought for a while and said, "It seems that Your Majesty really hopes to rule the country with the country." ”

Liu Tong nodded and sighed: "Thinking of when my father was still there, no matter what happened, as long as my father was biased, anyone who made a mistake or committed a crime may be punished severely or lightly." Compared with the royal brother, to say a big disrespectful word, the father is indeed less than one ten-thousandth. ”

Chang Runzhi smiled and asked Liu Tong: "Do you want Your Majesty to rule the country like this?" ”

Liu Tong also smiled and said: "If I am a law-abiding person, I naturally hope that the imperial brother will govern the country like this." Merit will be rewarded, and fault will be punished, impartial...... But if the country is really governed by the "Great Wei Law", the importance of the "Great Wei Law" is self-evident. ”

Liu Tong paused, excited and excited that Emperor Taichang had entrusted such an important task to him, but he was also apprehensive. (To be continued.) )
