Chapter 17: This Guy Doesn't Want to Die
"Lord Meng is right, there are too many anti-monarchs in the "Public Law", in case the emperor blames him, I am afraid that this Qin law will not be able to continue before it has begun to change."
All the ministers also showed signs of concern.
Even Feng Zheng, who had been applauding the "Public Law" before, was not without worry at this time: "What your lords said is extremely true, in fact, the lower officials are also worried, and I also ask Lord Zhongcheng to make a slight revision and be cautious." ”
Li Yang smiled: "What you are talking about is Article 1 of the Public Law, and Great Qin is the Great Qin of all peoples?" ”
Meng Yi nodded: "This is indeed against the king, as the so-called, under the whole world, all are the king's land, and within the four seas, all are the king's ministers." This Great Qin is the Great Qin of His Majesty the Emperor, how can it be said to be the Great Qin of all peoples. ”
"That's right, Great Qin can only be Your Majesty's Great Qin, and it must not be said to be the Great Qin of all people." A number of ministers chimed in.
Li Yang disagreed: "Ladies and gentlemen, your words are very wrong. If this Great Qin Empire is only the Great Qin of His Majesty the Emperor, then dare to ask your lords, why do you let all the people in the world defend the country for him alone? Why should all the people in the world abide by the laws of Great Qin, love the laws of Great Qin, and protect the laws of Great Qin? ”
"This ......"
Suddenly, the crowd was speechless.
A group of people are like eating flies, and they have something to say in their hearts. In fact, where would they not understand Li Yang's truth, but the problem is that this cannot be said on the surface, and if it is said, it is a great rebellion and a crime of killing the head.
After thinking about it for a while, Meng Yi sighed and said, "Zhongcheng, we naturally understand the truth, it's just ...... This can't be said, let alone written into the "Public Law", this is a big crime to punish the nine clans. ”
Li Yang's face suddenly didn't look good, and he said righteously: "Today's legal reform in this mansion has changed such old ideas and old consciousness!" If we can't change the law with new ideas and new political consciousness, then no matter how much we change, the law will not change much. What's more, the law is based on the word fairness, if the government doesn't even dare to say the fair sentence 'Great Qin is the Great Qin of all people', then the government will become a fart law, it is better to wash and sleep. ”
"......" Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt like they wanted to die.
What kind of evil is this, how could I and others follow such a lifeless guy to make changes, now it's good, it is estimated that my life will be compensated by this guy.
The crowd and others all looked at Meng Yi and Feng Zheng unwillingly, hoping that the two of them could persuade this unwanted prime minister. After all...... You want to die, but don't pull us along?
Meng Yi and Feng Zheng also looked dead, even if Shang Ying changed the law, they wouldn't dare to change the law like this.
Meng Yi sighed in his heart, and had to face the difficulties: "Zhongcheng, there is not only one place against the monarch in this "Public Law", there are many places, such as Article 46, the clause that the people of Daqin have the obligation to serve forced labor, it is ...... This can lead to the failure of the law reform. ”
"This ...... Is there a problem? Li Yang asked disappreciatively.
Meng Yi nodded, and said in a straight tone: "There is a big problem, because Zhongcheng added a sentence at the end of this clause 'when the farm is idle'." That is to say, only when the peasants are slack, the people have the obligation to serve as servants, so that the millions of servants today can go home? This...... Let Your Majesty know, wouldn't you be furious! ”
"Yes, this is absolutely not advisable!" The crowd echoed.
Feng Zheng also hurriedly said: "Maybe Zhongcheng has been in the court for a shallow time, and I don't know, but now the weight of conscription has reached the point where men are not enough to plough and women are not enough to spin clothes...... I almost lost my life for this. Now, Zhongcheng actually wrote in the "Public Law" that the common people only have the obligation to serve as a conscriptor when the farm is slack, how can His Majesty agree? If His Majesty does not agree, the Public Law will lose its majesty and credibility, and the change of the Law will be meaningless. ”
"Yes, what Lord Feng said is extremely true, not to mention that we, the ministers of the DPRK and China, dare not persuade His Majesty to reduce the forced labor, even the eldest son Fusu, who was also convicted for making this statement, Lord Zhongcheng must not repeat the mistakes of the past and cause trouble." The crowd dissuaded.
Their meaning is obvious, if the "Public Law" is not amended, not only will there be no change in the law, but even a small life will be lost.
Li Yang bowed slightly, and said: "Don't be so frightened, this government believes that what you say is true, this clause of conscription is indeed contrary to what Your Majesty is currently doing." ”
This sentence seems to have been heard.
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts were overjoyed, and they finally persuaded this undead master.
Meng Yi and Feng Zheng were actually very pleased, after all, they still felt that this Zhongcheng was still too young, and now under their guidance, he finally opened his mind, and he could be regarded as a Confucian.
Feng Zheng said: "Since Zhongcheng knows that it is powerful, I don't know how Lord Zhongcheng plans to modify it?" ”
Meng Yi felt that Li Yang was not very relieved to revise it himself, after all, there were too many words against the monarch, and he had to change it greatly, so he took the initiative to ask Ying: "Zhongcheng has been working hard recently, why don't you revise this "Public Law" by the lower officials, and then hand it over to you for review after it is corrected, how about it?" ”
Everyone also nodded and looked at Li Yang expectantly.
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Modification? Why change? This "Public Law" has been transmitted to all parts of the world by the special envoy Kuaima, why revise it. ”
"............" everyone is directly stupid.
Meng Yi hurriedly said with a confused face: "This ...... This...... No, Zhongcheng, don't you also think that it is contrary to His Majesty's ideas? ”
Li Yang nodded, and said very seriously: "That's right, that's why it should be written into the "Public Law" and let Your Majesty also abide by it, so as not to cause the current situation of 'men working hard enough to pay for food, and women not having enough clothes'." ”
"............" everyone fainted directly.
At this time, Meng Yi seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, yesterday, the middle of the city sent someone to collect the big seal of our Imperial Lieutenant Office and the Imperial Historical Observatory, could it be that the "Public Law" was issued?" ”
Hearing this, Feng Zheng was also shocked.
Li Yang nodded and smiled: "This mansion was ordered by the emperor to open the law of the palace, in order to show the majesty and solemnity of the "Public Law", so I feel that if you only stamp the seal of the palace, you will not be able to show its solemnity, so you will also take your seal and cover it together. ”
Meng Yi and Feng Zheng were shocked, they couldn't bear it anymore, and sat directly on the ground, feeling cold in their hearts.
Finished...... It's all over......
Originally, he followed Li Yang to reform the law, but this "Public Law" is so rebellious that he will already be implicated and punished. Now it's good, the seals of their supervision of the imperial history and the court lieutenant office have been stamped, this time it is not said that they have lost their official positions, I am afraid that if they are given ten lives, it is not enough to cut it!
"Zhongcheng, we want to see the emperor." Feng Zai's tears came out, and he choked up and begged. Since he was a child, his father Feng Quji has always reminded him that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, so he must be cautious in everything to stay away from danger. But now, he found that what he was doing was not only dangerous, but also could punish the Nine Clans.
Evil, this is really evil, the Feng family can't just be planted in the hands of Li Yang, Feng Zheng's eyes are red.
"Yes, we want to see the Emperor too." The crowd also petitioned.
There's no way, this guy doesn't want to die, everyone doesn't want to play with him like this, you have to hurry up and explain everything to the emperor, so as not to be implicated and be buried with him.
Li Yang originally wanted to be angry, after all, these people are important ministers of the court, but when he thinks about it, these guys are afraid of being implicated, and they must not be able to persuade them, so it seems that they can only come hard.
Li Yang's face suddenly changed, and he roared loudly: "Li You! ”
Li You immediately rushed in: "What's the matter, my lord?" ”
Li Yang ordered: "Li You listens to the order, if any of you adults dare to leave without permission today, they will be taken directly by this mansion!" ”
"Yes!"
Li You retreated to the door, waved his hand, and immediately a group of black-armored soldiers rushed to the door of the hall, holding the handle of the knife, guarding the hall tightly.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Zhongcheng...... You...... You ......" Meng Yi suddenly had a feeling of being sold by a knife, which ...... This is completely unreasonable.
Li Yang said with a grimace: "Don't talk nonsense, now is the time to work, how can you be allowed to go out and leave early!" If you want to see the emperor, you will see Ming'er, you must leave the mansion here today to revise the Qin law, and you can't go anywhere! Otherwise, it will be a bad change in the law of Great Qin, and there will be no forgiveness for killing! ”
Everyone was shocked, and at this time, they also remembered the instructions of the emperor Xiaoyu of the government and the opposition that day: all those who violate the law reform of the Great Qin, regardless of the clan relatives, will be punished according to law.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but dare to attack.
Seeing that everyone was suppressed, Li Yang ordered: "Lord Feng will lead the officials of the Imperial Shitai to recompile the Great Qin Supervision Law, and the new law will be called the "Administrative Law", and the officials of the Imperial Court Lieutenant Office of the Mengda will reorganize the existing Great Criminal Qin Law, and the new law will be called the "Criminal Law". ”
"Remember, the new law is guided by the Public Law and must not contradict the intent of the Public Law! Ladies and gentlemen, let's get started! Li Yang waved his hand and ordered.
Meng Yi and Feng Zheng came from their hearts, and they couldn't wait to beat their chests.
They knew that they were finished, and finally sighed in their hearts, and finally nodded and led their officials to start revising Qin Law......
