"There is another thing to say, a few years ago, I led the army to take Jinyang, because I felt that since Yang Guang ascended the throne, the Sui law has been chaotic, the people's livelihood is difficult, and there are many people who want to gain fame and wealth, unscrupulous means, remnants of the people, bullying the weak, and treating the law as nothing......"

"Moreover, the punishment in the army is too harsh, killing people at every turn, there are no certain rules, both the officials and the people are trembling, not knowing where to go, there is no defense, and so on, all of which are the source of chaos.

"It's good, take the strengths of the people, respond to the urgency of the government and the people, it is the original intention of the legislation, there are people in the Han Dynasty, where the rites go, the punishment is taken, out of the rites into the punishment, the sound of educating the people, or there is a severity, increase and change, and there is no more than ......this."

After biting Wen Jue's words for a long time, Li Po's forehead was also a little sweaty, and he looked at everyone in the hall, all of them were as quiet as chickens, and they couldn't help but be a little proud.

In fact, what he said is the word etiquette, the predecessors have expounded it very clearly, etiquette in the law first, the law for the ceremony of supplementation, this is the Confucianism and law closely combined to form a social norm, it is undoubtedly the most advanced set of law system in the world, there is no one to say.

Later, people criticized this way of tying morality and law together, but it was actually very unnecessary, and it was perfect to use etiquette and morality to restrain people's daily behavior, and then use criminal law to forcibly punish those who were rude, isn't it?

Later people have many means, so the pursuit is accurate, the ancients because of the ugly and simple, then want to be big and make it, each has its own reason, as for which is better or worse, hehe, it's really hard to say.

Of course, if he is as smart as Li Po, he will definitely not be more serious on this, because he only skimmed the Sui law, twelve articles, a total of more than 500 articles, and the later law provisions are not comparable at all, but with the addition of subsidiary articles, it is also a thick stack, and Li Po is dizzy and disgusted when he sees it.

Since then, Li Po has no advanced ideas such as prosecuting those who violate the law and strictly enforcing the law, let alone any fierce ideological struggle between the rule of man and the rule of law, because such ideas are divorced from reality and are about to fly to the sky.

Li Po just did many things before, instinctively took a shortcut, and made additions and changes in accordance with the Kaihuang Law, so everyone could save trouble.

In fact, Li Yuan, Xiao Mo and others are also doing the same thing, but the progress is different, Li Yuan has more talents under his rule, and the progress is the fastest, by this year, many legal provisions have been revised, but because of successive setbacks in the war, the implementation of the martial arts law has been postponed indefinitely.

This almost means that the system of laws is out of date, and the provisions of the laws made in the midst of war must serve the war, and there will be no exceptions anywhere.

There is a reason why all the princes who are interested in this are working hard towards the opening of the emperor's law, one is very close, there are traces to follow, and it is also the most complete legal system today.

Second, during the Kaihuang period, the world was unified, so some of the laws formulated during the period of Emperor Wen and Yang Jian were more suitable for the war season.

At this time, Li Po roughly finished talking about the spirit of the legislation, which also contained his own intentions, and then the tone of his words changed, and his tone became stern.

"But some people don't investigate it, don't pay attention to current affairs, don't understand the people's feelings, so they attack each other in vain, and everyone knows it, and the government and the people are boiling, what is the reason? Yang Shilang...... You are in charge of the criminal department, you have been going inside and outside before, you have talked the most, and you have no feasible strategy, so now in front of everyone, why don't you just talk about it, how to decide the matter of criminal law? ”

Some people's hearts twitched, and as expected, they knew that something was going to happen today, Yang Gongren...... Hehe, the first thing to do is expected.

You know, this person is not only new, but also too stubborn, and his surname is Yang, so if he doesn't take you first, he will be called a ghost.

And what Li Po said is also on point, Yang Gongren and Wang Ze argued too much, almost to the point of having no scruples, no matter what their considerations, from Li Po's point of view, yes, I will also give you three sticks to make you sober up.

What's more, Yang Gongren has no foundation in Jindi, and Li Po values him, but because this person has a lot of career experience and is the talent he urgently needs, he can be entrusted with important tasks when he first comes.

But you didn't count it in your own heart? Jumping up and down as soon as you come, what do you want to do? Do you want to show off your talents, or do you want to keep your family background and look at everyone who is inferior to you?

In fact, it is similar to what others guessed, what Li Po was annoyed by was not the matter itself, but that Yang Gongren didn't know how to restrain himself, and he rushed up to bite Wang Ze in a daze as soon as he came, is the Yang family so amazing? You must know that now the Sui Dynasty has died.

Yang Gongren was stunned at first, and then his old face turned red, this is definitely not ashamed, but angry, being named and criticized in front of so many people, even if he has experienced a lot of ups and downs, this situation is still the first time he has encountered it.

The breath was uneven, and he stood up and bowed to salute, "Minister......"

A lot of things I want to say say that what the courtiers have lacked since the end of the Jin Dynasty is loyal to the country, and there has never been a shortage of direct ministers who have committed the following crimes.

But having said that, Yang Gongren is not young after all, and as a member of the Yang family, he has suffered from the war, and there are many factors that play a role in what he did before.

Everything was a little bit of a side, but in the end, it was a lot of trouble, but it was still because of his anger, which made him more and more unpleasant to the people in the Wang family.

Now in a flash of thought, all the unsatisfactory turned into a sigh, and the words immediately became, "The minister asks the king to forgive his sins, the king entrusts him with a heavy responsibility, and the minister does not dare to slack off, the minister thinks that before the promulgation of the emperor's criminal law, there are tens of thousands of practitioners, among which the handsome people can not be counted, the collection of the former idle is done, the essence of the future generations, leniency and strictness, there are thousands of parties, tampering with it, it is useless......"

"The minister's worries may be inadequate, and then he is more suspicious of being angry, but he has no selfish intentions, and he asks the king to investigate."

Hearing these words, Li Po's face immediately softened, Yang Gongren can be said to be crooked, this is Li Po's favorite way to admit mistakes, reasonable and well-founded, and has a good attitude to admit mistakes.

Li Po doesn't like those flamboyant sophistry, and he doesn't like the so-called "bluntness" with your neck straight and top with you, so even if what Yang Gongren says is not to his liking, he can accept it.

In fact, this is also the essence of people in officialdom who like to figure out Shangyi, only by knowing Shangguan's temperament and way of doing things, can you prosper in official luck, otherwise, no matter how capable you are, there is no future in officialdom.

Li Po pressed his hand, "Sit down and talk, Yang Shilang's concerns are not untargeted, Wang Shilang, what do you say?" ”

Many people were a little surprised, Lao Yang easily passed, is this Lao Wang going to be unlucky?

His Royal Highness the King of Han opened his eyes for himself, but before Wang Ze, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, had time to be happy, he became full of worry, got up and saluted: "The king Rongyu, the king was worried about that day, but the Sui law was too harsh and not conducive to recuperation, so he repaired the Sui law to maintain the people...... What Yang Shilang said may be reasonable, but the emperor can open the five criminal laws, and there are seven repairs to the great cause, the so-called law should be human, non-human law exists, and now we are the king to determine the law, it should be this reason, the ministers and other dedication to do it, what is wrong? ”

This is much tougher than Yang Gongren, in fact, Wang Ze also has his helplessness, the Wang family has paid too much for this, and after a few years, there is no way out.

Compared with Yang Gongren, Wang Ze is much more annoyed, Jin Di is the base camp of the Wang family, with a deep foundation and a good heritage, and it is not a secret that the matter of revising Sui Law is not a secret.

There are many talents in Jindi, and the time is also very long, if you can give him some more time quietly, it will always satisfy His Royal Highness the King of Han.

Moreover, from the time of the emperor to the present, the law has been revised more often than people think, and it is not so difficult to make some changes, deletions or additions without major changes to the general framework.

And the king of Han only asked for the first revision of the criminal law, and the difficulty was reduced again, but when it was almost completed, a Yang Gongren appeared, and he was also in charge of the criminal department, and the Wang family was caught off guard.

Such a trouble, not only will it disrupt Wang's plan, but also look at the lively, or red-eyed is likely to follow, in recent days, there have actually been such signs, even Pei's is ready to move, the storm is rising, who is the one who is making waves Wang Ze didn't see it very clearly, but Yang Gongren stood at the head of the tide, making Wang Ze hate his people deeply, and when he spoke, the anger couldn't be suppressed.

Li Po nodded, no matter how soft or hard Wang Ze's words were, they were more in line with his mind, where would he make progress if he didn't push through the old and bring forth the new? In addition to the criminal law, there are military rules and precepts, and to this day, he has to change everything he can change.

As long as you have a good sense of proportion, nothing cannot be changed......

Li Po, who had already made up his mind in his heart, immediately waved his hand, "What Wang Shilang said is deeply in line with my intentions, bothering the king, conscientious, and obvious to all, the Chinese book will discuss it, and when the merit is rewarded at the end of the year, Wang Ze, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, can be promoted to the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Ze is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites......"

When he firmly stood on Wang Ze's side, all the turmoil and noise will gradually subside, Wang Ze, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, got a big surprise, and the hard work of several years was not in vain, so he immediately knelt on the ground, choked and said: "Bow to the king, I will do my best to do the king's affairs in the future, although I have no regrets in death." ”

Waiting for Wang Ze to return to his seat, Li Po said again: "Yang Shilang is in charge of the Criminal Department, he fights according to reason, is fair, and is not afraid of slandering his reputation, and then he can be promoted to the Criminal Department and participate in the revision of the Criminal Law, which must be completed this year. ”
