Liu Tong has lived until now, and it can be regarded as a bumpy life. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info was ignored by the imperial father in his early years, grew up and experienced the pain of marriage, and later married a wife and had children, and also made some achievements in the court, but he did not expect to encounter great disasters and was imprisoned in a secluded place.

Emperor Taichang wants to be a Ming monarch who will go down in history, and around Ming Jun, there must be a cadre of famous ministers with the same famous inheritance.

If Liu Tong can really compile a new law of the Great Wei, even if he does such a thing in his life, it will be enough to make him enjoy a good reputation in the historiography of later generations.

Such a responsibility that is meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future is now held by him in his hands, how can Liu Tong not be apprehensive?

Chang Runzhi said: "This is good, don't worry, take it step by step." ”

Liu Tong rubbed his hands and said, "First of all, we have to send out a solicitation post to seek legal talents." Codifying the new Great Wei Law was a chore. But ......"

Liu Tong was embarrassed: "It is estimated that there will not be too many talents in this area." Even if it is an official of the Criminal Department, there must be few people who are familiar with the criminal law of the Great Wei, and there are many cases where cases have been judged before and based on human feelings. ”

"From the point of view?"

"That's right." Liu Tong said: "For example, if a case involves a powerful person, the powerful family says hello, and the judgment is written lightly. And in some cases, if the impact is quite large and does not involve too much relationship, it is also possible to give a heavier sentence. These judgments are hardly written in accordance with the law. ”

Chang Runzhi nodded and said, "That's it...... After that, it will have to be standardized, and the main points of the judgment must be made clear from which law it comes from, and it must not be ambiguous. ”

Chang Runzhi smiled: "Think about it, this is indeed a little difficult to do. When it comes down to the case of the Criminal Department, it can be stared at, but Dawei has a vast territory, and in other territories, officials may not be so thorough in deciding the case, and there are many cases of bending the law for personal gain and appeasing adultery. ”

"yes." Liu Tong sighed, only feeling that he had a long way to go.

Chang Runzhi smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter, even the implementation of the decree must have a long-term process." Isn't Your Majesty's Grace Order still bumping into it? Moreover, even if the law is written, it will take time to spread it. You haven't even started the work of compiling the new law yet, so why worry about the future? Whatever step you can do at the moment, let's do it first. ”

Liu Tong nodded silently.

As soon as the New Year passed, the henchmen behind King Shenjun and others also began to be cut off and divided by Emperor Taichang one by one. Those who directly participated in the case of rebellion were raided and imprisoned, and those who did not directly participate were demoted or transferred.

So, another batch of lists that needed to be executed were put on Emperor Taichang's table. Among them, there are also some folk people.

Emperor Taichang took the list and smiled: "Our Great Wei, in the end, is still full of talents." It's just that the talent is on the wrong path. ”

Liu Tong groaned: "According to the law, these Jianghu people know that King Shenjun is plotting rebellion, but they still do things for him, and they can't escape a dead word. It's just that he killed so many ordinary people at one time, and his ministers were afraid that the people would criticize him. ”

"Do things according to the law, why be afraid of criticism." Emperor Taichang said indifferently: "I just want to let the courtiers and the people know that no matter what status you have, if you violate the law of the country, you will not be able to escape the punishment of the law of the country." When this concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone commits crimes and violates the law, they have to weigh one or two ......."

Emperor Taichang tapped lightly on the table and asked Liu Tong: "In addition, what other rumors are there among the people?" ”

Liu Tong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There are still rumors in the market, saying that the imperial brother wants to take this opportunity to clean up the portal, and he will definitely secretly attack the family of King Shenjun and others." ”

"Oh?"

Emperor Taichang laughed and said, "Where did this come from?" ”

"It should be the news spread by the diehard loyalists of King Shenjun." Liu Tong said: "King Shenjun has also been in charge of the country for a period of time, and it is not surprising that he has some back road preparations in his hands. In addition, since King Shenjun knew that he was planning to assassinate the imperial brother from the people in the rivers and lakes, the younger brother estimated that maybe he would also arrange for someone to rob the prison, and even let people come to rob the law field when the autumn queen was beheaded. ”

"Well, it's possible if you think about it."

Emperor Taichang touched his chin: "King Shenjun is reluctant to be powerful and rich, and he is also a little greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

"The younger brother will let the people of the criminal department keep a close guard, and they should not be able to rob the prison. It is above the Dharma field, the field of vision is empty, and the crowd is dense, so in order to prevent someone from robbing the Dharma field, there is still a lot of preparation. ”

"Well, you can do it, there is still half a year left and right until they ask for beheading."

Emperor Taichang smiled, thought for a while, and said to Liu Tong: "Recently, a courtier wrote a letter mentioning the matter of establishing a prince. The three emperors under my knees are steady and steady, but they are not clever enough and do not know how to be flexible. Mo'er reads well, he can compose poems at a young age, Taifu has praised him many times, but in terms of governing the country, it is estimated that he is relatively weak. It's Aaron, although he is young, but I see that he is clever and capable, his brain turns quickly, and in the analysis of the relationship between the court and the court, he is also the first to speak, but he is not inferior to his two elder brothers. ”

Liu Tong was surprised: "Does the imperial brother want to establish a prince now?" ”

"Ministers are always wary of me dying violently one day, so they always say that the prince is the foundation of the country, and with the prince, I can do a solid job as an emperor."

Liu Tong was immediately annoyed: "Which courtier is so ill-intentioned that he curses the imperial brother like this." ”

Emperor Taichang waved his hand indifferently: "They are just worried, afraid that there will be turmoil in the country." ”

Emperor Taichang paused and asked Liu Tong: "In your opinion, how about I make Aaron the crown prince?" ”

Of course, Liu Tong didn't dare to say whether the matter of establishing the prince was good or not, and only said: "The imperial brother likes the third prince, and there is no problem with this." It's just that the eldest prince and the second prince are the sons of the royal brother and the imperial sister-in-law, and if they go over and directly select the third prince, I am afraid that some people will stir up the brotherhood between the three princes. ”

Liu Tong paused and said, "After all, the throne, different toys can be shared by brothers. ”

"Well, I've thought about that too." Emperor Taichang smiled: "So I don't plan to establish a prince now." ”

Liu Tong breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but smile: "My son is too good, and it's also a burden." ”

Emperor Taichang immediately laughed when he heard this, and said: "Your son is also very good, and the professors over there in Guozijian all say that your eldest son is a down-to-earth scholar and a daily habit of studying, which is really admired by everyone, and he has nothing to disobey." ”

Liu Tong was naturally proud in his heart, but he said modestly: "It's also his mother who teaches well." ”

"Oh? How do younger siblings teach their children? Emperor Taichang asked with a smile.

Liu Tonghui said: "The child's enlightenment is in Zhongguan Hutong, and the minister's brother is responsible for enlightening him, and the minister's wife made a form to write down what he needs to do every hour. The minister's wife always said that it doesn't matter if you don't study well, and the acquired effort can make up for the congenital shortcomings, but the most important thing is a good study habit. Yangyang is smart, sensible and obedient, but he does learn better and more solidly than the children who do not study regularly. (To be continued.) )
