Zhang Sheng saw Yan Chengjin's clever tongue, and sneered in his heart: "You can't modify the law of the Ming Dynasty, it's the ancestral training left by Emperor Gao!"

Yan Chengjin, if you are really as said in the poem, you should not be delusional about changing the law.

You are disobedient, how can you be faithful? ”

After all, he is an old minister of the two dynasties, and in the court, he has seen many great Confucian eloquence, although his tongue is not as good as Xie Qian, but it is not as good.

Aren't you going to dedicate yourself to the court?

Restructuring is duplicity, if you really want to dedicate yourself, you should support the laws of the Ming Dynasty!

Liu Jian and the others nodded, of course, their previous admiration for Yan Chengjin was gone.

Li Dongyang sighed secretly, you use two lines of poetry to please Your Majesty and the hundred officials,

I don't want to, but it has become a stumbling block, young, after all, I am still too young.

The appreciation in Emperor Hongzhi's eyes also quickly dissipated: "Zhang Qing's family is reasonable, if Yan Qing's family is really like the Mingzhi poem that he reads, he shouldn't ask for begging to reform the system." ”

Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought, Zhang Sheng and Xiong Wei took turns arguing, and one person should be defeated first.

He looked at Zhang Sheng with burning eyes and offered a second hand: "I don't know if Zhang Yuanxi has confessed to Lord Zhang yesterday that he is a chemical engineer in Liangxiang and has received seven months' wages. ”

Zhang Sheng's smile gradually froze, stiffened on his face, and looked at Yan Chengjin with a pale face,

The brain flew into it like a wasp, buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.

"You...... Hugh threatens the officer! ”

Yan Chengjin calmly took out an exam paper from his cuffs, as well as a famous post for hiring Zhang Yuanxi.

Last night, I sent someone to pick up the scroll in Liangxiang overnight.

"Yes...... It's my son's handwriting! Zhang Sheng took two steps back in disbelief and almost fell to the palace.

Seven months!

The old man didn't notice it at all, no wonder, no wonder...... Half a year ago, I went to Liangxiang.

Huh!

Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others sighed, and they had a deep understanding,

The descendants who went to the good country, which one is still willing to burn the anointment and study?

Xiong Xiao gritted his teeth and glared at Yan Chengjin angrily: "I'm talking about the law, what are you talking about?!" ”

Yan Chengjin nodded: "Now talk about the law." ”

"......" Li Dongyang.

Xiong Wei held Zhang Sheng's hand and comforted: "Master Zhang doesn't have to listen to this nonsense, you and I should advise together." ”

Zhang Sheng was hit hard, his eyes came back to his senses slightly, and he bowed to Emperor Hongzhi, took a step, and returned to the ranks of the Ministry of Rites.

Xiong Wei stood alone in the court.

Yan Chengjin is really insidious, obviously he was prepared, otherwise, he would not have taken out Zhang Yuanxi's exam paper from his cuffs.

The faces of the officials were different.

Wang Shouren's eyes showed a bit of reverence, old brother, really still old brother.

Xiong Wei and Zhang Sheng are both old ministers of the previous dynasty and are well versed in lobbying.

If you can support one person, it will be much easier to beg.

But the criminal department often interrogates prisoners, and Xiongbutang's eloquence and mental skills are not simple, and I don't know the old brother......

"You don't want to be confused, just now Lord Zhang asked you, with poetry and ambition, and your behavior collides with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, how do you explain it!" Xiong asked sharply.

Emperor Hongzhi bowed slightly, and cast a sharp gaze at Yan Chengjin.

That poem just now is obviously sycophancy!

"What I don't like the most is that the courtiers are in the court, patting on the back."

Baiguan's face was serious, and he even stood up much straighter.

Liu Jian is quite gloating, this son thinks about restructuring all day long, and it is time to beat it.

Li Dongyang held his hands on his stomach and didn't mean to help at all.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly, and offered his third hand: "Lord Xiong is the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, in charge of criminal responsibility, he should know the Ming Law well, dare to ask, in the Ming Law, what is the third article of the household law?" ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiong Tuo, which should be very simple for Xiong Tuo, right?

But Xiong Xuan's eyes condensed and he didn't speak for a long time.

Although the Ming Dynasty has three legal divisions, it should be the criminal department that is really in charge of the criminal law, and Emperor Hongzhi was surprised: "Why didn't Xiong Qing's family answer?" ”

Xiong Qi's face was slightly red, and he bowed: "The minister can't answer." ”

Yan Chengjin said: "What about the seventh article of the law? ”

"Can't answer......"

"Article 3 of the Criminal Law?" Yan Chengjin asked again.

Xiong Wei was furious: "Who can recite it?" ”

Yan Chengjin looked towards Emperor Hongzhi and bowed slightly: "Ministers can, Article 3 of the Criminal Law:

Twenty lashes for those who blow a person with hands and feet and do not injure him, thirty lashes for those who are wounded and forty bruises for those who do not injure his hands and feet, and the rest are for others, that is, he does not use a blade, but also plucks out his hair, and above he is flogged fifty, and if the blood comes out of the ear, and if he vomits blood from the inside, he shall have eighty rods, and he who defiles his head and face with filth......

Like a number of family treasures, the third article of the criminal law, the seventh article of the law of officials, and the third article of the household department are said to be alive in turn.

Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang and others were all dumbfounded.

Before they could reflect it, Yan Chengjin continued: "As Your Majesty and the princes have just seen, the Ming Law is obscure and difficult to understand, and even the criminal departments and departments that commonly use the Ming Law can't recite it, let alone extrapolate it to the world?

This is the reason why the ministers begged and revised the Ming Law! ”

The Ming Law was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the cattle herding baby has not read many books, and the Ming Law that has been repaired does not even have punctuation.

The statement is even more jerky.

Although the Hanlin of the past dynasties was rich and wealthy, they did not dare to incorporate the Ming Law into the books compiled by Hanyuan.

Therefore, it has not been repaired.

In order to implement the law, Zhu Yuanzhang once ordered that if there is a copy of "The Great Message" at home, the crime can be reduced by one degree, and the death penalty can be reduced to life.

Even so, the law has not been implemented.

"In some prefectures and counties, the prefect's sentencing is very chaotic and the sentences are excessive.

And the people will think that this is the tyranny of the imperial court, which is the second reason why the ministers ask for the revision of the Ming law. ”

Xiong Qian was speechless, just now, His Majesty and the ministers saw that he couldn't recite it.

At this time, forcibly rebutting will only fall in the hearts of His Majesty and the cabinet.

He wisely retreated into the ranks of the Criminal Department.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little shaken in his heart, who can be a sage or sage, is the ancestral precept set by Emperor Gao really right?

"What does Yan Qing's family want to change?"

Yan Chengjin had already prepared and said: "There are too many loopholes in the Ming Law, if you say it carefully, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it in three days and three nights." ”

Emperor Hongzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth fiercely.

The eyes of hundreds of officials, including Li Dongyang and others, were obviously condensed.

Can you really blow it?

You can recite the Ming law a thousand times in three days and three nights, and you can't finish it, Emperor Gao is so unbearable.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little angry, and his face became gloomy: "I want to hear it." ”

"The ministers beg, merge the criminal regulations into the Daming Law, and establish a separate commercial law, patent protection law, intellectual property protection law, economic law, land law, construction law, ......"

Yan Chengjin listed dozens of them in one go.

But it is necessary, and the business of Liangxiang has gradually developed and will flourish in the future.

and the writings of the Ming Dynasty today.

All of these need to be synchronized with a sound legal system in order to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous.

After the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, the reason for its prosperity largely depended on a complete set of laws.

Although it was not yet perfect, it made the Qin Dynasty orderly and prosperous.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, so the legal system of the Han Dynasty was also very perfect.

The Ming Dynasty inherited the Tang law, although there is nothing wrong with it.

But that is only suitable for the previous Ming, not for the future Ming.

Taking the Gaozhao Mathematics Award as an example, if there is no patent law and intellectual property law protection, if someone steals the results, who should the prize be awarded?

Therefore, with the changes in the Ming Dynasty, a more sound system is needed.

Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded, there were some laws, he had never heard of them at all.

Li Dongyang didn't react.

"How did you come up with these laws?"
