Chapter 13 Please revise the Ming Huidian to secure the society

Xu Youzhen's article crossed the ocean to the hands of the merchant, and the merchant read it. I was overjoyed.

Because the discussion found that everyone seems to be not too familiar with this method, so that there are not many articles to give feedback on whether to revise the Ming Law.

If it was said that when the journal was opened, Shang Zhen could also use the authority of the emperor to let the cabinet members write articles, but now, Shang Zhen has risked the possibility of opening the skylight.

But fortunately, Shang Qian still has some connections, and he really can't prepare, so he will find a few people from the Hanlin Academy to write.

It's just that in this way, Zhu Qizhen's task is not easy to say.

Now, as soon as Xu Youzhen's article arrived, Shang Shi immediately felt that it seemed that if he did not follow the revised Daming Huidian above, he would not be able to calm the world.

So this article quickly reached Zhu Qizhen's hands.

Zhu Qizhen was overjoyed when he saw it.

What does Xu Youzhen's article say?

First, the ancestral system is determined.

He used a large number of words to determine a proposition, that is, what is the ancestral system, the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty is the attitude of the emperors who love the people and regard the people as innocent, rather than specific legal documents.

In particular, it is pointed out that during the Hongwu period, whether it was "Emperor Ming Zuxun" or "Da Ming Law". All of them have been rebuilt many times, which illustrates this point.

Therefore, in accordance with the teachings of the ancestors, we should get carried away and get the hearts of the ancestors to love the people, rather than the legal provisions of the passage of time.

And use a large number of examples to illustrate that the world is set to be strict, and the world is governed leniently. In this way, we can preserve the great tomorrow, thousands of generations, and even hundreds of generations.

For this alone, Zhu Qizhen was extremely excited.

It seems that Xu Youzhen also follows the ancestral system, but in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, the meaning of this paragraph is to overthrow the de facto ancestral system and replace it with a spiritual ancestral system.

And the simpler the concept, the more interpretation power Zhu Qizhen has as the emperor.

Secondly, Xu Youzhen refuted that it was not feasible to supplement the law with examples.

First of all, time has passed, and the previous cases seem to be the same as the later ones, but in fact, there are still differences, and if they are all cited well, there will naturally be inappropriateness.

If it is not cited, it is yet another new case.

After so many, there are several precedents for a certain kind of case, resulting in the fact that from the perspective of judging the case, this case is also right from this case and from another case, so that there is room for corrupt officials to work on it.

secondly

There are many cases, which will also cause a situation of overlapping bed structures and contradictory situations. Let the people be at a loss. There are many cases, and it is even more of a hollow law.

There is a law that is not used, and the name is disordered.

And so on.

Therefore, instead of revising the Daming law, but supplementing the law with examples, there is simply that

Instead of taking the right path, you will take a rugged path.

If this is just the case, although Zhu Qizhen is satisfied, he does not feel that Xu Youzhen's article has much merit.

The next text is the most wonderful part of the recital. is also the reason why Zhu Qizhen can't put it down.

Xu Youzhen did not simply leave the issue on whether to revise the Daming Law, but took things a step further.

Xu Youzhen listed that since Hongwu, many changes in the political system are like changes in the military department and the governor's office of the five armies, as well as changes in other aspects, such as the setting of governors, civilian governors, cabinet changes, and so on.

These are different from the ancestral system of the Hongwu period.

This leads to the following: "My Taizu Emperor Gao, Ji Gu created, and was appointed as the sixth secretary." Hold on to the responsibilities of the Ministers. Mention the program, lay out the rules, and be honest for hundreds of millions of years. Take care of it, make it in the middle of the Hongwu. Those who renew in their later years, although the official signature is named, it is easier to do so. The saints are inherited. At any time and things, due to the change of profit and loss, the generations are different, and they do not lose the meaning of Taizu. It is a politically sidelined, heavy and tired, and there are unattainable previous generations. However, as the years go by, the books become more and more complicated. Divide and sign, or not be able to see everything. down to the remote lands, the people of the grasslands, and those who do not know it. ”

That is to say, there is no law on the scope of power of the new official, only the rules and conventions. This gives rise to all sorts of constants.

In other words, Xu Youzhen extended what was originally a legal issue to the political system.

That is to say, the modern Ming system is no longer what can be contained in the "Duties and Responsibilities" at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

So, the next thing is inevitable.

Faced with such a situation, the emperor should "order the Confucian ministers to compile the Ming Huidian." Decrees of the Dynasty. Establish the constitution of the generation. Honggang is slender and brilliant, and creates legislation to benefit eternity. ”

"Where profits and losses are the same and different, with events related to the year, the article is classified and listed, and the precedent is one, so as to become a generation. So that the subjects of the world, know the trend, and return to the emperor together. and make the ministers and their governors lead all the officials, and each one shall serve his duties. Diligence is a thing. The noble quality is medium, and the affairs are both. Those who have lost the former will be righted to the last. ”

It was simply the best assist for Zhu Qizhen. Let Zhu Qizhen suddenly open up.

On the big topic of changing the law, Zhu Qizhen hasn't thought of where to start. Xu Youzhen pointed out the direction to Zhu Qizhen.

The compilation of the "Daming Huidian" itself is to stipulate the official changes after Hongwu.

In the future, all political activities of the Ming Dynasty and the regulations of the Ming Dynasty must be based on the "Ming Huidian".

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen wrote what he wanted into the "Daming Huidian", and made the "Daming Huidian" the code of the Ming Dynasty.

And even the ministers could not find a reason to object.

Without him, the prosperous era cultivates. Now the Ming Dynasty is prepared for military affairs, and it should be repaired. It's as if Emperor Taizong wanted to repair "Yong

Now the emperor should also follow the example of his ancestors and build a big book.

If you just look at the text above, no matter how you look at it, you feel that you should do this, it is really above board, and it is magnificent.

There is a feeling that if you don't repair the "Daming Huidian", you are sorry for your ancestors, your majesty in the middle, and you are sorry for the people. From this logic, it is interlocking, without a word or variation.

However, the road to change the law has been paved for Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen looked at it again and again, and at this moment he had only one thought, which was to transfer Xu Youzhen to the Beijing Division.

It is true that Zhu Qizhen also knows that Xu Youzhen is not a moral gentleman. But after this incident, Zhu Qizhen understood one thing.

All his ideological foundations were laid in later generations, no matter how much he learned Confucianism later, it was just a layer of disguise and disguise.

If Zhu Qizhen only promoted the government to fight wars and major projects, under such a surface, Zhu Qizhen's knowledge would be enough.

But if you want to enter into in-depth political reform, you must go deep into the ideological realm.

The more he wants to enter into the structural change of politics, the more he has to talk about going deep into it, which is something he will never be able to do.

Faced with the same problem, Zhu Qizhen took every step of the way. Be cautious, but Xu Youzhen made a bold move, making the situation open up, with this ability, Xu Youzhen has a small flaw, Zhu Qizhen will not care too much.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen suddenly had a feeling of happiness and asked Huai En: "Has the cabinet read this article?" ”

Huai En said: "No, the General Administration Department was only sent to the Qianqing Palace. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Copy a point to the cabinet." He really wanted to see how Li Xian should deal with a chess move.

Naturally, Wynne sent someone to send a point to the cabinet.

According to the little eunuch, the cabinet scholars did not seem to have reacted at all.

Zhu Qizhen was a little disappointed at the same time, but also a little relieved, if the cabinet scholars lost their temper on the spot, they would not be worthy of being a bachelor of the Ming Dynasty.

There is the danger of mountains and rivers in the chest, and the strictness of the city in the belly, which is the basic skill of being a scholar. Although this incident made them uncomfortable, it did not make them lose their temper on the spot.

However, Zhu Qizhen also believes that the cabinet will not be unresponsive.

Sure enough, there was news that day.

Among the cabinet scholars, Li Xian, the first assistant, as well as Wang Wen and Liu Qiu, went to Shichahai to fish.

Zhu Qizhen knew that the three of them were not going fishing, so he smiled secretly in his heart: "It's leisurely." However, Zhu Qizhen didn't care too much.

The political atmosphere created by Zhu Qizhen over the past ten years is generally relatively relaxed, and Zhu Qizhen does not care about this kind of private gathering of important ministers, and does not know about it.

However, he was a little curious at the moment, what were Li Xian going to do?
