Chapter 490: The ancestral training left by Zhu Yuanzhang

The next day, early in the morning.

A group of imperial historians are waiting in the Huagai Palace, they want to sue Yan Chengjin, which deputy capital imperial history is appointed, let them recite the law?

"Go and report to Your Majesty, I'm going to face the saint!"

"Change the imperial history, or else, change the official!"

The royal historians held the Gram card and collectively shouted grievances.

Xiao Jing hurriedly walked to the Huagai Hall and said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, Yan Chengjin let the imperial historians recite the Great Ming Law, and the imperial historians are miserable......

When the hundred officials joined, they had already read the Ming Huidian and needed to be assessed.

Now, let them see the law of the Great Ming again.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Yesterday, why didn't they report it?" ”

"Yesterday I just memorized the law of Da Ming, and today, Yan Chengjin still has to take the exam."

Familiar with the Ming Law, it is the responsibility of the imperial history, how can you be afraid of the exam?

Emperor Hongzhi laughed, Yan Chengjin was afraid that I would not give him a promotion, so he rectified the Imperial Procuratorate?

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate pickets hundreds of officials, but no one pickets the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I feel that it is time to rectify it, let the imperial historians go back, I will go to the invigilation for a while."

Well?

Xiao Jing was dumbfounded, the imperial historians came to you for help...

He walked out of the hall with a strange face and cleared his throat: "Everyone, please go back, Your Majesty will go to the invigilator for a while, and you should go back quickly." ”

"This ......"

The imperial historians scolded in their hearts, and they wanted to impeach the emperor by name.

But Your Majesty has been in a bad mood these days because of the Yellow Book, and they don't dare to be presumptuous at will.

Yan Chengjin came to the duty room of the Metropolitan Inspection Courtyard, saw that it was empty, and looked at Zheng Qian next to him: "Mu Xiu today?" ”

"My lord, the imperial history went to the Huagai Hall and went to complain." Zheng Qian was in a dilemma.

"It's good that Your Majesty knows, so you don't have to send this official to report to you."

The rectification of the Imperial Procuratorate is what Emperor Hongzhi wants to see.

If the imperial history becomes an old salted fish, under the control of Wu Kuan's slackness, the imperial historians will wait for the lower value.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the procuratorate of later generations.

If you lose the ability to picket, the Ming officialdom will decay and decay.

During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ministers did not dare to be corrupt and slack.

It was thanks to his strict laws that he had to skin and slay when he didn't work, let alone anything else.

At this moment, I saw that outside the door of the duty room, the five imperial historians were chased and fled into the duty room.

Hu Zhang, Luo Ju, Shi Xun and others, who were quite famous imperial historians in the court, were restrained by Yan Chengjin and were dissatisfied.

But at this moment, he begged: "Lord Yan, hurry up, hurry up!" ”

Yan Chengjin was a little stunned, and saw Emperor Hongzhi walking over slowly with a straight face.

"I've heard that you're going to examine the law?"

"The minister has been studying the Daming law for a long time, and found that there are many loopholes in the law that need to be supplemented."

Hu Zhang and the others on the side changed their faces in vain and almost fainted.

Emperor Gao set the ancestral system, and future generations were not allowed to change a word of the law.

If you want to revise the law of the Ming Dynasty, you are not afraid that Emperor Gao will split the grave and run out to ask for your life?

Before Emperor Hongzhi could answer, Hu Zhang stood up and angrily reprimanded: "Emperor Gao has an order, the law of the Ming Dynasty, and future generations will abide by it. You can't die if you want to! ”

The four imperial histories helped from the side, and His Majesty removed Yan Chengjin.

Emperor Hongzhi thought that Yan Chengjin was just an assessment of the Ming law,

Unexpectedly, the original intention of this son was to change the law of the Ming Dynasty.

He bowed his head and said: "Emperor Gao instructed, all my descendants, Qin and my life, do not do smart, mess with my established law, not a word can be easily changed, Yan Qingjia, do you know?" ”

The law of Da Ming is not unchangeable.

In the later generations, Wanli changed fifty-five words.

But from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, only these 55 words were changed.

If it was in the early dynasty, facing the cabinet and hundreds of officials, Yan Chengjin would not dare to say so.

But in the Imperial Procuratorate, only His Majesty and the Imperial History are an opportunity.

"The minister thinks that there are still many things that can be cultivated in the Ming Law."

"For example?" Emperor Hongzhi said lightly.

Emperor Gao changed the law many times before it was promulgated, how can you talk nonsense.

"For example, if a woman is violated, the transgressor is hanged, but there is no law to protect the man." Yan Chengjin reported.

The corners of Emperor Hongzhi's mouth twitched fiercely: "Who will violate a man?!" ”

Your Majesty, I'm afraid you haven't heard of Ah Qiang's story?

The corners of Yu Shi Hu Zhang's mouth twitched: "The man is powerful, why should he be protected by the law, and as His Majesty said, who will violate the man?!" ”

Yan Chengjin's face was serious: "This is just one that needs to be added, there are also household laws, military laws and criminal laws, all of which need to be repaired, if Your Majesty wants to hear it, the ministers can talk about it one by one." ”

After the promulgation of the Ming Law, Zhu Yuanzhang revised it six times, wanting to leave a law that will be used for all generations.

But even the perfect law has loopholes.

For example, there are six rules of household law, and the good and the poor are never allowed to intermarry.

It means that untouchables are not allowed to marry women from large families.

This means that there is no possibility of counterattack by Diaosi,

There is no such thing as Auntie, I don't want to fight anymore.

It restricted the freedom of marriage, and also greatly restricted the population of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, if the Guozijian hires the children of the gentry, landlords, and merchants, and pays for horses and grain, he can enter the Guozijian as a regular supervisor.

as well as Xiangsheng, Zansheng and other places.

As a result, Guozijian became a place for maggots.

In the past, the Ming treasury was empty, and what was needed was money and grain, and it was understandable to take such measures to fill the treasury.

But now it's different, what Daming needs is talent!

Changing the admissions system is what Minglu needs to change the most.

But the Ming Law, even His Majesty is afraid, how can you say that it is changed?

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and said: "Changing the Ming Law has a great relationship with the prosperous era, and there are many differences between the Tang Law and the Ming Law.

The Tang Dynasty is a criminal law, and there are still many forgiveness in the criminal law, but the disadvantages of the Ming law can be said to be unreasonable.

In this way, how can the prosperous world come from? ”

"Yan Chengjin, you don't want to talk nonsense, tomorrow the Metropolitan Procuratorate will have to let the officials of Hanyuan smash it!" Hu Zhang said nervously.

You're really getting bolder, what do you say to change the law? What nonsense!

Emperor Gao had already made a decree, and whoever changed it would be a big crime.

No matter how you can write bullet chapters, you can't change the law of Da Ming!

Emperor Hongzhi's heart was shaken, and his thick eyebrows were twisted together: "Although I want to be prosperous, I don't dare to change the ancestral system easily, besides, what does the Great Ming Law have to do with the prosperous world?" Hugh is going to mention it again! ”

Say, he took Xiao Jing and left with a sigh.

Yan Chengjin was a little embarrassed.

This time is very different from the previous change of the ancestral system.

Zhu Yuanzhang expressly forbade it, and not a single word could be changed.

If it really wants to change, I'm afraid that even the six departments in Nanjing will jump up, ride into Beijing overnight, and point their noses and scold him.

If the law is established at the top, it will be customary at the bottom.

If the bad places are changed and the loopholes are corrected, the world will be more peaceful and peaceful.

Criminal Department, duty room.

"My lord, the news from the Metropolitan Procuratorate that Yan Chengjin wants to change the law of the Ming Dynasty."

The king of the criminal department was busy reporting.

The duty room was not large, and the other four officials looked at it together, and they were so shocked that they didn't blink for a long time.

Wang Shouren looked casual, but in his heart, he admired it beyond measure.

The old brother is really a man of God,

He was on duty in the penal ministry and saw many defects in the law.

But he didn't know how to advise His Majesty, this time, the old brother must have prepared more than three strategies, right?

Compared with the old brother, he is 108,000 miles behind.

When Wang Shouren secretly sighed, Wang Zhizhi said again: "In this matter, they don't agree with the imperial history, and there is internal strife, Your Majesty left without saying a word." ”

Xiong Qian pondered for a long time, and there is no law that can be modified in the Da Ming Law.

Which one do you want to change?
