Chapter 293: The Law of Human Nature
(Two days before the end of the book)
When Shen Xizhen took the second elder of Songshan back to the palace, Emperor En, couldn't help but be overjoyed, back then, his father Emperor Guangzhao couldn't invite them even if he invited them three or four times, but now he was invited by Shen Xizhen, so he was naturally overjoyed.
The next morning, Emperor Shi Endi solemnly introduced the two elders of Songshan to everyone, and everyone saw that both of them were childish and white, and they were immediately in awe.
"This is all the credit of the queen, she personally went to Songshan to invite her." Emperor Guangen said with emotion.
It is naturally very remarkable to be able to invite a hermit who has lived in seclusion for nearly thirty years, but Shen Xizhen has always been able to do things that ordinary people can't do, so everyone is not too surprised.
That night, Emperor Guangen hosted a banquet with Rong Pavilion to entertain them.
During the banquet, the four of them talked about a lot of things, and finally the two elders of Songshan agreed that Xi Guo could now focus on the law.
Shen Xizhen and Emperor Guang'en immediately agreed with this point of view.
That's right, Shen Xizhen is a person from a civilized and modern era, so she has been living in a very good environment of public security, and she has not had much contact with legal issues, although she has also helped Emperor Guangzhao and Emperor Guangen formulate laws several times, but she has not analyzed social security issues thoroughly, so in recent years, although there are many fewer big cases, small and medium-sized cases are always continuous.
It does have something to do with the fact that the law is not sound enough.
Now that the second elder of Matsuyama has only talked to them at the same time, he is keenly aware of the crux of the problem, which has to be admired.
"A country needs to be stable for a long time. The law must be taken seriously, especially in times of abundance and peace. The eldest of the two elders said.
"Well, establish a conventional code of ethics for the people and the office. It will be able to more effectively restrain and stop the occurrence of unfair and immoral incidents. The second said.
Emperor Guangen and Shen Xizhen nodded repeatedly.
It seems that it is right to ask them to come down the mountain.
But what kind of laws should be enacted to effectively restrain people without arousing the resentment of the majority of the people? Shen Xizhen couldn't help but think.
She suddenly remembered Shang Ying's change, but she didn't fully agree with his change.
She wanted to be more humane and flexible, because after all, the law is for people, not to rule over people.
In fact, it plays a wake-up call, allowing people to know and abide by the law.
It's as if a bottom line has been set for various fields and events, and as long as people don't exceed it, they can live freely. If this bottom line is exceeded, it is equivalent to a black sheep, and must accept relevant constraints and punishments.
So in the final analysis, the law is a matter of setting the bottom line for events.
But where the bottom line should be is the most important thing to seriously discuss now.
Therefore, the four of them continued to come up with their own opinions.
In the end, it was decided that a set of laws should be as humane as possible.
After all, the law is for people.
Only by humanizing can the people benefit from it to the greatest extent.
So the four of them discussed the terms of the law of the Xi Kingdom that year.
In the end, a consensus was reached - the original 10 counts of torture were eliminated. A total of 20 articles have been added, such as life, freedom, health, privacy, reputation, credit, etc.
Then Emperor Guangen discussed it with the members of the think tank and the civil and military officials the next day, and finally did not delete it, and added the name and chastity/discipline.
A month later, the new law was officially introduced.
The whole country actively supported it. It's called "Benevolence".
With Renji. With the Four Books and Five Classics as a moral model, the stability of a country and the problems of the people have been guaranteed to the greatest extent, and everyone is naturally very happy.
Shen Xizhen, who was busy with this matter, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
On this day, Emperor Guang'en said to her: "Empress, I remember that more than ten years ago, you mentioned a place to me, and you said that you hoped to live there in seclusion in your old age, so where is it?" I can't remember my name all of a sudden. ”
Shen Xizhen suddenly felt a warmth from the bottom of his heart, and said to him with a smile: "It's called Taoyuanwu." It is indeed a good place to retreat. ”
"Let's go there for a few days off, then." Emperor Guangen said with a smile.
"Can the court walk away?" Shen Xizhen asked hurriedly.
"I've taken care of all the important things I have to attend to this month. The rest of the things are left and right Prime Minister and the second elder of the mountain, and they will definitely be able to handle it.
"Okay." Shen Xizhen nodded in agreement.
Speaking of Taoyuanwu, it was still the place she went to when she was seriously ill for the first time, and at that time her family thought that she was about to die, so she decided to choose a place with a beautiful environment to recuperate.
They set out early the next morning.
They didn't take anyone with them, except for ten retinues and three palace maids.
More than ten years have passed, and Taoyuanwu is still as quiet and beautiful as it was back then, like a paradise in the world.
They stayed in the master's house where Shen Xizhen lived back then, which was a large house built by the river, surrounded by draperies, and with pianos and books inside.
"This house is even better than the one in our palace!" Emperor Guangen said sincerely. As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and enjoyed the scenery on the river.
"yes, because it's far away." Shen Xizhen replied and hugged her from behind.
When she came here to recuperate, her mood was very heavy, thinking that she had little chance of survival. That's when she discovered the secret in the small wooden box.
It's also strange to say, in the past few years, she has stopped the strange disease that she has had once a year, is it because she has reached a certain level of cultivation?
Or is it the nourishment of love?
It seems that since she married Emperor Guangen, she has slowly not regained that strange disease.
Thinking like this, she suddenly gave birth to all kinds of tenderness, and the hands holding Emperor Guangen were even harder.
Although Emperor Guangen is thirty-seven years old, he still maintains a good body shape because he exercises every day. Shen Xizhen's hands could feel the solidity of his waist muscles as he cared for his waist.
Being provoked by her like this in broad daylight, the blood and qi in Emperor Guangen's whole body involuntarily surged down.
He looked at the guards standing outside the room, a little helpless.
Since there are no walls, this room built by Linjiang is separated by curtains, so as long as the wind blows, people outside can see the situation inside, and he can't have a warm relationship with her.
But his original intention of coming on vacation was to enjoy the world of two people with her, so why would he just do it? So he looked at the curtains and thought about it.
Suddenly, he thought of it, so he said to Shen Xizhen: "We can set small hooks under the four corners of the curtain, so that they can fix the curtain, so that the curtains will crackle when the wind blows at night."
Shen Xizhen immediately understood his intentions and said with a smile, "Okay." ”
So the two of them took matters into their own hands to fix the curtains.
In this way, the attendants will never be able to see the inside without being ordered to enter.
That night, Emperor Guangen and Shen Xizhen were tossing and turning in the bed, tasting all the moves, and when the two woke up, it was noon the next day. (To be continued......)
