When King Jing came, he brought six or seven notebooks, which were neatly placed on Zhu Xu's desk.

King Jing stood below and said, "Your Majesty, for the Da Ming Law, the Governor's Yuan has basically completed the revision, and the Great Decree has also been reorganized, and it has been properly improved, just waiting for the emperor to see it." ”

Zhu Xu looked at these thick books, his expression did not move, and said: "If I continue to read it, I will not be able to read it for a year and a half, so I will pick up important things and tell them to me." ”

"Yes!"

King Jing raised his hand and said: "According to the emperor's will, the minister has listed other laws separately from the Ming law, and the current Ming law is the general outline of my Ming Dynasty's 'Constitution', covering the general framework of all aspects of my Ming Dynasty, from the emperor, the status of the harem, to the civil and military officials, the subjects of the world, everything is included in it, there are 78 general outlines, 126 classifications, and 69 ......supplements."

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup beside him and listened to King Jing's words. The Da Ming Law has indeed become the general outline of the Constitution, and other laws will be derivative, interpreted, and expanded from this Constitution, but they will always be included and cannot be broken through.

King Jing didn't read out the specific regulations, there were too many, but he just described them in a nutshell.

After listening to this, Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Well, go on." ”

"The Great Edict is established by Taizu, including the Heavenly Constitution of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, as well as various typical cases, disposal methods, sentencing degrees, etc., the ministers have been compiled, for inappropriate, the sentencing is too light and too heavy, the new cases, etc., the Supervisory Yuan has carried out prudent discussions, and the revision has been basically completed, just waiting for the emperor to see it, the royal approval, and the promulgation ......" King Jing obviously had a draft, and said like water.

Zhu Xu put down the teacup, his fingers tapped slowly on the table, his eyes calm.

This 'Great Message' was made by Zhu Yuanzhang, and its status even exceeds that of the Great Ming Law, after all, this is the 'Heavenly Constitution', no one can provoke it, and everything will naturally act according to this, but Zhu Yuanzhang is too harsh and strict in many things, and it can even be said that the 'Great Decree' is a kind of trampling on the Great Ming Law, betraying the spirit of the law, and in many things, it is illegal in itself, purely based on its own likes and dislikes.

Zhu Xu is now starting to rectify the 'program and discipline' and re-'legislate', so naturally he can't allow this phenomenon of 'the rule of man is greater than the rule of law'. ”

King Jing's eyebrows moved slightly, this 'big message' is often a sharp weapon for the emperors of previous dynasties to clean up the court and promote their prestige, but don't you want this one in front of you?

However, he did not say much, and continued: "The Supervisory Council has discussed with the cabinet the establishment of the 'uniform land system', the 'land occupation limit', the abolition of the 'first to first served', and the cabinet will use three to five years to measure the number of acres of land throughout the country, re-register the household registration, establish the number of acres of land, and so on. The marriage law of the household law stipulates a strict age for men and women to enter marriage, which shall not be less than 18 for men and 16 for women. There are also regulations on ethics, the number of marriages, and the number of wives and concubines......"

"The law of officials is divided into two parts, eighteen articles, including the selection, appointment and dismissal, restrictions and other aspects of officials, as well as specific seals, documents and other decision-making processes, detailed explanations of 120 volumes......"

"The criminal law, divided into eight sections, includes thieves, appointments, brawls, lawsuits, adultery, etc., and the criminal department has recently participated in the revision, supplementing the separation of trial and custody, torture, etc., where there are 28 volumes, more than 30,000 words......"

"Military law, there are military and political affairs, Guanjin, stable herding, etc., a total of seven sections, because the military department is being reformed, so all of them are temporary, waiting for the progress of Sun Ge Lao and others......"

"The laws of work, construction, river defense, etc., and craftsmen's certificates are also included, and the Governorate is discussing the abolition of them and releasing them to free ......."

"Etiquette, mainly sacrifices, rituals, etc., and now there are pawns, joys and funerals, which have been divided in detail and customized ......"

Zhu Xu listened quietly and did not interrupt.

This is the six laws, the six laws contained under the Da Ming law, and the latter six laws are also all-encompassing and extremely complex.

Zhu Xu couldn't do everything about these things, and basically handed them over to the Governor's Yuan. There are now more than 150 people in the Governorate, and in the past year, they have basically been responsible for repairing, supplementing, and deleting the legal code.

"In addition, there are laws, salt laws, commercial laws, money laws, private tea regulations, provisional regulations, prohibitions and regulations issued by the cabinet, etc., and there are also seventeen laws that do not list six laws, and the cost is ...... separately."

King Jing said a little dry, but there was no stumbling, obviously he had been preparing for a long time and was extremely familiar.

Zhu Xu listened quietly, knew the basic framework, pondered in his heart for a while, and said, "In this way, you will bring the people who major in various laws tomorrow to the cabinet tomorrow, and I, the cabinet assistants, the six scholars, and the squire, all have to listen to it, if there are any problems, record them, and then study them carefully, and wait for the governors from all over the country to enter Beijing next year, and then conduct an expanded discussion, and strive to achieve a more perfect ......"

When King Jing listened, he had no objections, and said with a little hesitation: "Your Majesty, if you have any objections to certain provisions of the Code, please ask the Emperor to deal with them fairly." ”

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, someone is dissatisfied with the law you cultivated, which makes you feel embarrassed?" ”

King Jing raised his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, revise the laws, the six ministries, the cabinet has sent people to participate, many of which are more controversial, the cabinet, the six Shangshu lords have a lot of complaints, the minister is worried that tomorrow will cause controversy, harm some innocent people, and let the efforts of the Governorate be in vain." ”

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes slightly and looked at King Jing.

King Jing clearly had something to say, and cautiously gave some people eye medicine.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, in addition to Zhu Xu, there are only two sub-assistants, Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong can put pressure on King Jing, plus King Jing's relationship with Bi Ziyan has been a lot of dirty recently......

Zhu Xu's heart was like a mirror, picked up the teacup, and said lightly: "I know." The Governor's Yuan is your direct yamen, and outsiders should not interfere, you know this matter in your heart. As for the government affairs in the cabinet, although you are lower than the second second-rank assistant, after all, you are the cabinet assistant, and you must also take out the insistence that you should have, and I don't want to ......hear the unbearable reputation of the so-called 'paper paste' and 'mud bodhisattva' in my cabinet."

King Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Xu also didn't want the cabinet to be harmonious, everything passed by in a daze, and the discord between King Jing and Bi Ziyan was a certain need for Zhu Xu.

Putting down the teacup, Zhu Xu asked, "What do you think of the power and scope of the Governorate?" ”

Zhu Xu has been 'chatting' with officials such as the cabinet, Dali Temple, and Liubu Shangshu during this time, and everyone knows that this is a kind of 'examination school' at the end of the year, and King Jing is also very clear in his heart and has been prepared for a long time.

King Jing raised his hand and said, "Back to the emperor, the ministers have discussed, there are eight, one, law; 2. Inspector; 3. Nuclear lifting; Fourth, Bingzheng; Five......"

Zhu Xu listened, nodded slightly, and said, "It's almost the same as the cabinet presentation." Well, I'm still thinking about one thing, that is, the representatives of the people can make a case in the Governorate, and after a certain percentage of votes in the Governorate, they can remove officials within a grade range, and they cannot be reinstated or appointed for a period of time, what do you think? ”

This is not new, Zhu Xu mentioned it a long time ago, but the environment that has not yet been implemented, the current provincial government level, basically has the conditions, you can try it.

This is to increase the power of the Governor's Yuan, King Jing will not refuse, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the minister will discuss it after he returns, and the detailed instructions will be played to the emperor tomorrow." ”

Zhu Xu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "Well, do it carefully, don't give people loopholes, grab the handle, find the loopholes in the law, plug them in time, don't give the villain a chance......"

"Obey."

King Jing was still apprehensive, but now he left happily. With Zhu Xu's support, he doesn't need to worry about Bi Ziyan reaching out to the Governor's Yuan, and he also has the confidence to compete with Bi Ziyan in the affairs of the cabinet!

Watching King Jing leave, Zhu Xu looked at the potato cakes that were already cold, his stomach felt empty, and he couldn't help but miss the fish soup in Cining Palace, looked up at Cao Huachun and said, "How many days are there until the New Year?" ”

"Back to the emperor, today is the twenty-first, and there are eight days left." Cao Huachun stepped forward and said.

Zhu Xu bowed slightly, looking thoughtful.

After the Chinese New Year, the court rested for 20 days, the first month of the 20th year, his wedding was scheduled for the ninth day of the second month, the closer ones are better to say, the remote ones, I am afraid that at this time they have already set off into Beijing.
