In the early morning of the next day, a ray of sky light spilled into the bedroom through the window paper, shining on Yang Dong's face with a bit of warmth, and the faint fragrance penetrated into his nose, but Yang Dong still did not want to come out of the quilt.

"It's time for the husband to go and discuss with the ministers." Xiao Wu shrunk in Yang Tong's arms like a lazy kitten, her long eyebrows couldn't help trembling, and her breathing seemed to be a little messy, and finally she couldn't help but hold down her strange hand, and her confused voice was a little coquettish.

With her husband, it seems that she has returned to her youth, not at all like a mother of two children, of course, she is actually still very young.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Shui Tianji, and Li Xiuning are sleeping soundly on the side, since Xiao Wu gave that absurd 'Yi Decree', this kind of day of sleeping together seems to have become the norm, and several beautiful young women have changed from shame, anger, helplessness, and discomfort to the current habit!

Last night!

Nothing happened, only the warmth of the reunion, not that Yang Tong became Yanagi Hui, but that the three of them had not yet recovered, and the other had a big belly, and Yang Dong would not joke about his wife's health and longevity.

He felt that he would endure it and it would be over.

Sure enough, as soon as the eyes were closed and opened, a night passed.

"I'm going to start today and live the last few days of the prince well......" Yang Tong continued to hold Xiao Wu Wen Cun, the little young woman has a kind of enchanting magic that makes him love it.

"How's it going?" Shui Tianji and Li Xiuning, who pretended to be asleep, immediately opened their eyes, and their two pairs of phoenix eyes were full of curiosity.

Yang Tong was amused in his heart, he knew that the two of them would be like this, took a deep breath, and said with a bitter face: "The poor monk fought hard against the Four Demon Dao, and from now on his back hurts and he will go to the early dynasty?" ”

"Indecent!"

"Scoundrel!"

"Hooligans!"

Xiao Wu, eldest grandson Wujian, and Li Xiuning were so ashamed that they reprimanded one after another, their pretty faces were dyed with a layer of red, and their rippling eyes were half-open and half-closed, just like the vast morning sea.

There was a wordless embarrassment.

It's a jade finger pinch, showing off the legs......

Shui Tianji looked dazed, look at this, look at that, inexplicable.

"Haha! Good poetry, good poetry. Yang Tong laughed heartily, his wife was reluctant to be ruthless, and she was afraid that she would touch Li Xiuning's belly, which was similar to tickling.

After messing around again, Yang Tong reluctantly let himself leave Gentle Township, it is okay to relax temporarily, but it is not good to be too nostalgic.

"Swear to abuse the princes into dogs, so that the faint king can last for a long time." Yang Tong finished dressing, the sky outside the window was already bright, and it was not long before the 'morning dynasty', and he walked away crookedly with crooked poems on his lips.

The 'Four Demon Dao' glanced at each other, their pretty faces turned red, and they couldn't help laughing!

He's here!

There is a lot of trouble at home, but the heart is calm

After Yang Tong washed up, he went to another large bedroom to look at the four cute little babies, kissed their red little faces, and suddenly had a little more motivation to struggle.

The matter of enthronement discussed by the 'early dynasty' is, after all, simple to say, but there are many things involved in arranging, especially in terms of promotion and salary.

Of course, there are many kings and envoys from various countries who watch the ceremony, and they must keep up with the etiquette, and they must not lose the face of the Great Sui, which is the practice of the Celestial Empire from ancient times to the present.

Looking at the next group of ministers, Yang Tong asked with a smile: "How are the preparations for the enthronement ceremony?" ”

"Your Highness, all the county guards have successively resisted Yecheng, and all the matters of the enthronement ceremony have been prepared." Yang Gongren reported.

Yang Tong nodded and said to Kong Yingda: "Kong Shangshu, you are in charge of all the processes of this ceremony, you tell me the specific situation."

Kong Yingda clenched his fists with a serious expression and said, "Your Highness, the enthronement ceremony is divided into five steps. ”

"1. His Royal Highness worships the ancestors and ancestors in the Taimiao Temple and reads the sacrificial text"

"Okay, just shoot the sacrificial text by the left servant and follow me into the temple." Yang Gongren is not only the highest civil servant of the Great Sui, but also a member of the imperial family, so it is most appropriate for him to do this.

"Your Highness." Yang Gongren responded with a salute.

"Second, worship heaven and earth at the altar in the south of Yecheng, and tell the emperor the queen of heaven: His Royal Highness has the mandate of heaven, inherits the Great Sui Guozuo, and then reviews the three armies."

"How many soldiers are on board?"

"Your Highness, the square in the south of the city is huge, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, and Shangshu Province is ready to transfer 95,000 elite people from the army to meet the number of ninety-five." Yang Gongren replied.

"Won't it be too exciting?" Yang Tong scratched his head a little.

"Not much, but it's necessary." Yang Gongren paused and explained with a smile: "First of all, this army is drawn from the garrisons around Yecheng, and it is not considered to be a mobilization of the army; Secondly, at this enthronement ceremony, there were many big names from all over the world who came to congratulate, including Goguryeo King Gao Jianwu, King Silla Kim Baekjing, Baekje King Buyeo Zhang, Turkic Great Khan Ashnasmo, Jieli Khan's son Diejira, the eldest son of Yishi Bo, King Tuyuhun Tianzhu, and twelve kings from the Western Regions to He, and other countries also sent important figures to He. Therefore, the more we use elite divisions, the more we can deter foreign countries and ensure the tranquility of the border and the Silk Road. ”

"It is indeed necessary to show the enemy's intimidation." Yang Tong agrees.

Many countries are still practicing slavery, which is really inhumane, and as an upright and upright country, it should liberate the toiling masses in the spirit of humanitarianism!

It's just that the Great Sui can't do it now, and when the country is unified in the future, we will liberate many suffering alien people, so that they can come to the Great Sui to build roads and mine, so that they can live happily in the green mountains and green waters such as Bashu and Miaojiang.

Yang Gongren continued: "In addition, from the south square of the city to the main streets such as Shenwu Street in front of Shenwu Palace and Shengwu Heng Street in front of the palace are all five steps and one post, and the guards used are all soldiers in a hundred battles, with a total of nearly 200,000 troops. ”

Yang Tong said: "Zuo Servant is quite thoughtful, it is better to stun a few kings on the day of his accession to the throne." ”

"That's what the minister thinks, too." Yang Gongren said with a smile.

Luo Shixin said: "You are too bad. ”

Everyone laughed.

"Kong Shangshu, you continue." Yang Tong gestured to Kong Yingda.

"Whoa!" Kong Yingda arched his hand, and then said: "Third, His Royal Highness is in the Chaotian Palace, officially canonized the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, the Concubines, the Prince, the Prince, the Princess, and the Civil and Military Hundred Officials."

Yang Tong nodded.

The two Empress Dowagers Xiao and the two Empress Dowagers ascended the throne when they were not official, and if they were canonized in the name of the emperor, they would be more solemn, and these four represented the past.

And his wife and children represent the present and the future; As for the civil and military officials, this is the most important step

"Fourth, spread the word to the world and announce that His Royal Highness will officially inherit the foundation of the Great Sui Kingdom."

Hearing this, Yang Tong couldn't help but be happy: "Speaking of which, I really admire Master Liu Xuan's wonderful pen of flowers, and in his splendid essay, I am not a human being. ”

Liu Xuan is worthy of being the world's first great Confucian, in his masterpiece, there are many auspicious things about himself, which is completely with the help of the ancients' awe of the unknown, so that the people respect, so that his ascension to the throne of God has become worthy of the name.

It seems that Yang Tong was born to be the emperor's order, and if he is not the emperor, he can't do it, and if everyone doesn't obey it, it is disrespectful to God.

"Your Royal Highness is the lord of all the people of my Great Sui, and naturally he is the god of heaven and earth, and the minister sees that Master Liu's writing is very good." Yang Gongren was also happy.

This kind of thing, in fact, the royal children know best, on the surface, everyone worships God, but in fact, everyone does not believe it, and the words of the gods are nothing more than a means to fool the people.

"Step 5, is it a grand dinner?" Yang Tong asked with a smile.

"It's not!"

Kong Yingda shook his head, looking a little strange.

Wei Zheng, the secretary of the criminal department, and Liu Zhenghui, the secretary of the imperial department, had a black face and looked very unhappy.

"Controversial?" Yang Tong asked curiously.

Kong Yingda sighed and said a little unnaturally: "There is indeed a controversy. ”

Wei Zheng said: "Controversy since ancient times. ”

"Tell me about it." Yang Tong was even more curious.

"The fifth step is to grant amnesty to the world."

"Amnesty?" Yang Tong's expression was awe-inspiring, and he seemed to understand the controversy, "You mean to release all the prisoners in the Great Sui Prison?" ”

"Not all of them are forgiven." Wei Zheng introduced: "Generally speaking, the new emperor will give amnesty to the world when he ascends the throne. However, there are also ten heinous crimes, which are rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, disobedience, disrespect, unfilial piety, disharmony, injustice, and civil strife. ”

In addition to the ten evils that are not forgiven, there are also murders, arson, prisoners, and criminals who are not pardoned. Therefore, the so-called 'amnesty for the world' is at most a reduction in crimes, and the real amnesty is only for some criminals who are not very harmful, such as thieves, fraud criminals, and other prisoners who are all important. ”

Yang Tong nodded: "Then what is your controversy?" ”

For a while, everyone stopped talking.

"According to the old rules, on the day the new emperor ascended the throne, he would pardon some insignificant prisoners as a sign of benevolence. However, the existence of the rule of amnesty in the world makes people feel that they have committed a crime, and they can wait for forgiveness, so that they mistakenly believe that the cost of crime is low, so that they can commit crimes with luck, and others see that there are criminals who have been pardoned, so the bold people have followed suit! The ultimate consequence is that the law is trampled on and the system is broken. Yang Gongren introduced it here and said: "The controversy that has arisen in the amnesty world is: whether the majesty and dignity of the law should be sacrificed for the sake of temporary benevolence. ”

"The meaning of the existence of the law is to let everyone know: if a person makes a mistake, he should pay the corresponding price for his mistake, and only when people resolutely and firmly uphold the dignity of the law can they have the effect of restraining the people."

Wei Zheng arched his hand and said solemnly: "If the criminal is pardoned, there will be three questions, first, will the criminal retaliate against the people? 2. What can the victims do to protect themselves? 3. Will the victimized people kill people in anger after they are not protected? The victimized people were helpless to kill in anger, and their feelings were pitiful, but after all, he broke the law, between love and law, should the court punish or not? If it is punished, the local people feel that the court is unfair and unkind; If they are not punished, the brothers and nephews of the sinners who are killed by the victim will surely take revenge out of resentment, so that they will be retributed...... The world is in chaos. ”

Speaking of which, this is fundamentally a dispute between Confucianism and law.

Among the many hundreds of schools, the biggest opponent of Confucianism is not the Mohists who used to be as famous as Confucianism, but the Legalists who govern the country according to law.

As early as the Warring States Period, Legalist thought was popular, emphasizing "no relatives, no special nobles, no law"; Its proposition that 'the criminal law does not avoid the minister, and the reward of the good does not spare the husband' and the Confucianism of 'the punishment of the doctor' are inherently opposed.

At that time, the sages of the Legalists, Li Kui, Wu Qi, Shang Ying... Reform of the law was carried out in various countries one after another, thus creating one powerful country after another.

It can be said that emperors with a slightly normal brain know that Legalism is the foundation of a strong country.

But—

Since the existence of the concept of governing the country with Confucianism and internal law, Legalism has become a victim of the emperor's fame and reputation, and Legalism seems to still exist, but in fact it has lost its spirit and soul. Just because the emperor's words of 'amnesty to the world' are insulting and trampling on the dignity, spirit, and soul of the law.

"A person's virtue is not a day's work, and a sanctimonious master may not be able to withstand the temptation and lose his temper, which is the shortcoming of simply governing the country with Confucianism; The ultimate purpose of the law is deterrence, not punishment, and with the assistance of Confucianism such as 'loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith', it can take the role of restraining all the people and the peace of the world, so Confucianism and law are complementary to each other, and there is no conflict. ”

Yang Tong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "And pardoning criminals is not only a tragic trampling of the law, but also an injustice to the dignified people. ”

"Therefore, I not only want to cancel the unreasonable and outdated rule of 'amnesty for the world', but also turn this into an iron law, so that in the future, my Great Sui will not be able to pardon any criminal for any reason or under any pretext!"

"Whoa!" The crowd was amazed
