Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, and they explained some details of the rule of law, but many of them were not clear.

"If that's the case, then there is no problem with the rule of law, but many details need to be discussed in court, right? It is also inappropriate to rely entirely on the side of the Criminal Department to formulate legal provisions, and it still needs to be made clear to everyone. Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and suggested,

Li Shimin heard it and sat there thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, do you have any concerns?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"It's not that I have concerns, it's because there are no specific legal provisions yet, and there are many things that can't be explained, and now I just hope that the Criminal Department can write it out quickly, and I don't know if Pepin has written it." Li Shimin sat there and said a little anxiously.

"This, Your Majesty, you can completely let Pepin write it? You can't just wait!" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and said, judging from the things they see now, this rule of law is very good, and they also have some expectations, but there are no provisions coming out, and it is difficult for them to make up their minds now.

"Well, I need to ask Peping to thank you, several versions written by the Criminal Department before were sent to Peping to see, but they were all called back by Peping, and now Sun Fujia doesn't know how to write, I just asked Sun Fujia to go to Peping's house in the morning and ask Peping." Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and said.

"Oh, is Lord Sun Fujia back now?" When Fang Xuanling heard it, he stared at Li Shimin and asked.

"I don't know this yet, by the way, come on, go to the Criminal Department to see if Sun Shangshu is there, if he is, let him come here." Li Shimin also thought of this, and asked Sun Fujia to come over and ask, don't you know?

"Your Majesty, now that Hu Guogong has beaten someone, he needs to give an explanation to those ministers, can't he stop it again? In this way, His Majesty is too partial to him, and the minister estimates that there will be many ministers who will hang up their seals and leave, and now the court needs officials! Gao Shilian said to Li Shimin.

"Well, I still have to think about this matter, they shouldn't have gone to Pepin in the first place, and they did it first, how do you let me deal with this situation? Can I still catch him and go to Dali Temple? Li Shimin looked at Gao Shilian and asked.

"This, if you don't catch it, those ministers will not be able to explain, no matter what, it will mean nothing." Gao Shilian thought about it, so he suggested to Li Shimin. When Li Shimin heard it, he looked at Fang Xuanling.

"Your Majesty, if the rule of law is really useful, it is not impossible to arrest Qin Huaidao and go to the Criminal Department, and the minister's intention is to go to the Criminal Department, not to Dali Temple, and not to go to prison." Fang Xuanling thought about it for a moment and said with a smile at Li Shimin.

"What do you mean? Let him go to the Criminal Department to revise the law together? Li Shimin immediately stared at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, do you think, if Hu Guogong goes to the Criminal Department, then the Criminal Department will revise the law much faster." Fang Xuanling proudly touched his beard and said.

"Okay, that's good, I'm a little moved, but what if this kid gets angry?" Li Shimin still said a little hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, no, when you arrive at the Criminal Department, you will be served with good food and drink, and you will not be locked up in a prison, of course, you also need the cooperation of those officials of the Criminal Department, and you will serve Hu Guogong more if you have nothing to do, I believe he will definitely not be angry!" Fang Xuanling continued to look at Li Shimin confidently and said.

"Well, I'll talk about it later, let's see what Sun Fujia said when he came back and said in his mansion." Li Shimin thought for a while and said.

"However, Your Majesty, if the laws formulated this time can really be like those recorded by Your Majesty, then the minister is in favor of the rule of law, in this way, it can ensure the justice of the people of my Tang Dynasty, as long as there is justice, the minister believes that the people will not rebel, hey, no wonder Your Majesty is so determined to implement this!" Fang Xuanling then looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Of course, when I heard him say this, I knew that this thing must be done, and it must be forcibly implemented, if I don't do it, the people behind me will be even more difficult to do. This must also be done in my hands. Li Shimin said very calmly,

And then they're here talking about the benefits of these laws.

After a while, Sun Fujia came to Chengtian Palace with a national law.

"Oh, back? Can you discuss the legal provisions with Pepin? Li Shimin saw Sun Fujia coming over and asked very happily.

"It's discussed, however, it's more that the minister is looking at the legal provisions written by Hu Guogong, Your Majesty, this is the national law written by Hu Guogong, the minister saw it, and admired the five-body casting, really, the minister is now also organizing the officials of the Criminal Department to study the national law written by Hu Guogong,

Hu Guogong said that all laws cannot conflict with national laws, and if there is a conflict, other laws will be invalid, and national laws will be important! Sun Fujia said that he took out the law of the country and handed it to Li Shimin with both hands.

"Written by Peping, the law of the country, the basic law of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin looked at Sun Fujia in shock and asked.

"Yes!" Sun Fujia nodded.

"Okay, okay, I want to see, I want to see!" Li Shimin sat down as he spoke, took the law of the country and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, the law of the country stipulates that the royal family is the only royal in the world, the royal family is protected by law, etc., and it also stipulates the tasks of the royal family.

The royal children cannot be knighted at will, and the reward of the knighthood is borne by the emperor's inner treasury All costs, including the later expenses, and the fief of the knight cannot be changed at will.

At the same time, the royal family undertook the obligation to protect the people, etc., and agreed to stipulate the rights and obligations of many lords, and then the rights and obligations of the people, Li Shimin looked at it very seriously.

"Good, good!" Li Shimin saw the wonderful place, and he didn't listen to it, but Fang Xuanling and they stared at Li Shimin, they also wanted to see what was written in Qin Huaidao's national law, but now that the national law was in Li Shimin's hands, they couldn't see it.

It wasn't until Li Shimin finished reading it that they took it, and the three of them watched it together, Li Shimin put his hands behind his back, went to the balcony, looked outside, and as soon as the national law came out, it recognized that the whole world was royal, and the Li family was the only royal family, and the people had the obligation to support the royal family, but the royal family also had the obligation to protect the people.

"Okay, but I guess there will be resistance!" Li Shimin stood there, thinking about it and said, according to Qin Huaidao's national law, the emperor's heirs can only have two sons who can be crowned princes, two sons can be crowned princes, and the other sons will not be divided, because the country can't afford the expenses of so many princes.

After all, every emperor gave birth to so many children and was crowned king, how could the people afford so much expense?

"If the prince wants to be demoted, he must be demoted." Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and said, whether the prince was demoted before has not been decided,

But now seeing the things written by Hu, Li Shimin decided that the prince must be demoted, and the prince in the future will be divided, just like the duke, just to reward the land, not the last fief.

If they are all rewarded with fiefs, within a few generations, those lands in the Tang Dynasty will all belong to those princes, and they have more than a dozen brothers, all of whom are princes, and they have more than a dozen sons who are all princes.

And the next emperor will also have a large number of children, if they are all princes, they will have to seal out more than a dozen counties, so that the court will not have so much income.

Fang Xuanling and they were very shocked when they saw this national law, they admitted that the national law was well written, but the interests involved were too great, and those princes would definitely not agree, and the dukedom of the country, nothing has changed, the fiefdom of the country is there, but there are very few, and it doesn't matter if it is canceled, because there is not much money, and there is even money to go in, but Qin Huaidao has offended those princes.

After Fang Xuanling and them finished reading it, Li Shimin looked at them.

"Your Majesty, this section of the prince should be canceled, if it is not divided, I believe that many people will hold a grudge against Hu Guogong." Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Well, delete it, this kid, I don't understand!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"However, what Hu Guogong said is right, if it is sealed according to this way, it will be very troublesome in the future of Datang, according to what Hu Guogong said, it is actually better to seal thousands of acres of land and not reward the fief, and the court can reduce a lot of pressure." Fang Xuanling sat there and arched his hand and said.

"Actually, you all know about this drawback, but none of you dare to say it, and only Pepin dares to say it, doesn't he?" Li Shimin looked at them and asked, and the four of them sat there, not daring to speak.

"You say that Hu Guogong is a traitor, is this a traitor?" Li Shimin looked at them and continued to ask.

"Hu Guogong is not a traitor!" Fang Xuanling immediately stood up and arched his hand and said, so did the other three people,

"It seems that I need to summon those princes back to Beijing and discuss this matter well, the management of each place must belong to the administrative body of my Datang, and other individuals cannot be above it." Li Shimin sat there and spoke.

"This still needs to be made clear to Your Majesty and them, even if it is to reward more land this time, there are now more than 30 county towns that are not under the management of the court, and the court still has money to go in every year, which is not appropriate!" Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said.

"That's right, in other counties, we have to collect taxes, but those counties managed by the princes, we still have to post money, which is very unreasonable, if we continue to divide the feuds, then the people of my Datang will be managed by the court or by those princes?" Gao Shilian also said to Li Shimin at this moment.
