Although he was not angry with Hai Rui in his heart, no one would go to Hai Rui for trouble, because his reputation was too great, and the trouble of Hai Rui was easily nailed to the pillar of shame.

Second, the emperor's attitude towards Hai Rui can be seen by fools, let alone them.

The current problem is not caused by Hai Jui, and the gains outweigh the losses when I go to negotiate with Hai Jui. Everyone looked at Shen Shixing, and they didn't understand what Shen Shixing meant by taking out Hai Rui's recital at this time.

Shen Shixing saw that everyone was looking at him, put Hai Rui's recital aside, and said: "Now that public opinion is raging, hundreds of officials are panicking, and I am afraid that there will be a disaster of cool officials. ”

The expressions on everyone's faces suddenly became weird, everyone knows what's going on, what are you still singing here.

You go and talk to Your Majesty and see what Your Majesty has to say to you.

Shen Shixing made a full posture, and then he spoke: "The panic of the hundred officials, the panic is that the sentence is too heavy, and there are frequent big cases during the Hongwu period, so we can't let the old Hongwu incident appear in the current dynasty." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, when did Shen Shixing dare to say it so much?

So bold? Crazy?

You must know that Shen Shixing gives everyone the impression that he is basically a peacemaker with mud, and he is respectful to the emperor, to put it bluntly, he is a bottomless echo of the emperor, when did he dare to speak so much.

Hongwu case, that is something that can be blamed as a courtier? Do you want to say that Emperor Taizu did something wrong?

Yu Youding almost stopped Shen Shixing, if these words reached the emperor's ears, Shen Shixing would be reprimanded lightly. Yu Youding even doubted, was Shen Shixing in a hurry?

Shen Shixing himself didn't think about it, and continued: "Your Majesty is shining with a candle and strictly ordering all yamen to abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so that all yamen have laws to follow, so that the government decrees will not be blocked, and human feelings will be repeated. ”

"However, the law of the Ming Dynasty has been practiced for many years, whether it is really suitable for the present time, can you think about it?"

Everyone was stunned, and finally understood what Shen Shixing meant, this is to open a knife to Da Ming Law!

The Da Ming Law was formulated in great detail, and naturally it was not done in a day, and there have been several revisions, but most of them are additions and additions, and have never been changed. Eighty hangings are still on, let alone anything else.

Listening to the meaning of Shen Shixing's words, this is to revise the sentencing of the Ming Law!

At first glance, it may sound a bit surprising, but when you think about it, it seems to be another shortcut!

Now that officials are afraid, are they afraid that the court will investigate corruption? Of course not, when did the imperial court not investigate corruption, when did it not investigate corruption, although this time there is a law and discipline department to investigate corruption, and it is really powerful, but it is not that it has not been investigated before.

It's just that this time the difference is that the sentence is according to the Ming Law, and this can't stand it.

Eighty hangings for corruption, who can afford this, so the root of this matter lies in the sentencing according to the Ming Law. But the emperor insisted on sentencing under the Ming Law, what can he say for his courtiers?

Do you oppose sentencing with the Ming Law, so where do you put the Ming Law?

Now Shen Shixing's approach is simple, that is, to revise the Da Ming Law.

It sounds quite simple, but in fact it is not so simple, and the slogan often shouted by civil officials is to obey the ancestral system, so as to balance the emperor's affairs. The Great Ming Law is much more serious than the ancestral system, and if the ministers propose to revise the Great Ming Law, then there will be no way to shout about obeying the ancestral system in the future.

Although many ancestral systems have been broken over the years, especially after the Longqing switch.

But having this name is different from not having this name, with this name, you can use it when you want to use it, and without this name, you can use it when you want to use it.

Once the proposal to revise the Ming Law, the inevitable slogan is "time changes", once this slogan is shouted, it will inevitably breed a lot of new problems, the emperor of his own family, is not the master who is satisfied with the status quo.

In fact, what Zhu Yijun wants is to revise the Daming Law, and what he wants is to break the shackles.

With this constraint, no matter what Zhu Yijun wants to do, there will inevitably be a lot of opposition from people, such as changing business tax and household registration, etc. These people will gather under the banner of the ancestral system, and they will stand in the way.

What Zhu Yijun wants is to break this barrier and make room for what he wants to do.

Otherwise, as soon as the banner of the ancestral system came out, many ministers who wanted to support Zhu Yijun did not dare to speak, for fear of ruining their reputation. After opening this barrier, it will make many people who see the wind and rudder become bolder.

With these people waving the flag and shouting for themselves, they will inevitably be able to have a large number of people to support themselves.

This matter cannot be pushed down from the top, otherwise the resistance is too great, and it needs to be pushed up from the bottom. At the beginning of the establishment of the Department of Law and Discipline, Zhu Yijun was already planning today's affairs.

The Department of Law and Discipline inspected the officialdom and forced civil officials to adopt strict laws to make them propose to revise them.

Even if no one proposes, Zhu Yijun will arrange someone to advocate it himself, so as to promote the revision of the Daming Law. Once the Ming Law is used to kill, Zhu Yijun believes that it must be the horror of all officials.

At this time, corrupt people, or civil officials with unclean foundations, will inevitably be on pins and needles.

Once the solution of revising the Da Ming Law is thrown out, it will inevitably be regarded as a lifesaver by these people. As for other things, I can't take care of it so much, and it is important to save my life.

In such a situation, the law of Da Ming will inevitably be revised.

Zhu Yijun sent a large number of people to preach that there is no eternal law in the world, or that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, as long as it is an idea that is conducive to his own reform, all can be thrown out.

In this way, new thinking and new doctrines were introduced, and Li Zhen began to advocate Confucianism, praised the Ram School, played a renaissance of the Ming Dynasty, and chased the Han and Tang dynasties.

In this way, we will lay the foundation for institutional reform and ideological reform, which is a long-term layout.

In the five years since Zhu Yijun was in power, he has been breaking down barriers, and he has done all kinds of deviant things, which is why Zhu Yijun left Zhang Juzheng's minister.

These people have already been scolded as deviant, and it doesn't matter if they are scolded once, this is the reason for breaking the jar.

As the first assistant scholar of the cabinet who has served Zhu Yijun for so many years, although Shen Shixing didn't react at first, it didn't take long for him to react, and after thinking about it for a few days, he suddenly felt that this was a big opportunity.

Famous ministers must have great deeds, how can they have them?

Shen Shixing has never found a chance, when Zhang Juzheng was alive, what a scene, he was the first assistant scholar of the cabinet after Zhang Juzheng, he must be shrouded in its light, if there is no earth-shattering move, how to become famous?

I have achieved the position of the first assistant university scholar in the cabinet, and the pursuit of natural differences is what I want to leave in history.

It's just that Shen Shixing has never found a suitable breakthrough, and this time he found it. Since the emperor wants to do it, why can't he drive the emperor forward, this move can not only set a precedent to make a name, but also be able to consolidate his favor in front of His Majesty, why not?

As for reputation, Shen Shixing doesn't care too much, not to mention that if he deals with it like this at this time, his reputation will be bad?

Hundreds of officials are shocked three times a day, and they come up with such a method by themselves, will they disagree? Will you make a name for yourself? They don't want to die? For them, it's just a motion, but for them, it's a way to save their lives.

I don't have to worry about the slightest objection, and it's not like I don't have no one to help advocate it.

Shen Shixing believes that once this move is made, he will inevitably become famous, so why can't he take a risk? Even if it doesn't work, it's just an initiative, so what's the loss?

But once it is done, it can please His Majesty, and it can become famous in the United States, killing two birds with one stone.

The words have been said here, Shen Shixing is naturally not afraid to speak thoroughly, and simply said bluntly: "The Ming Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, and the times have changed, and many things are no longer in line with the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Not to mention anything else, just the official service, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the property withered, the people's livelihood was hard, and the officials were not only enough to survive, but also the capital of the middle class, but what about the present?"

"At present, there is abundant property, prices are rising, the population is increasing greatly, and the government and students are suffering."

"It is only the imperial court that has a salary increase, and the salary is already like this, not to mention the law related to the survival of the people? The old man is ready to suggest to the emperor to fix the Da Ming Law to fit the present. ”

Shen Shixing's statement made everyone stunned.

Whether it was as a university scholar in the past, or after becoming the first assistant, Shen Shixing has never done anything so clearly. is not a strong pavilion elder, but suddenly coming like this makes everyone a little uncomfortable.

Even everyone is thinking, is this under the influence of His Majesty? Why is it full of His Majesty's style?

It's just that the stakes are very high, and it happened suddenly, and I didn't know how to reply for a while.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Shen Shixing continued: "Right now, the hundred officials are frightened, public opinion is turbulent, and our cabinet is under pressure, if you don't do anything, how can you explain to the hundred officials?" ”

Hearing Shen Shixing say this, the two of them instantly understood.

Everyone was frightened by Shen Shixing's remarks, and completely forgot the original intention, why did everyone gather here today to discuss matters, not to appease the hundred officials, the cabinet can't be silent!

It is not okay for the cabinet not to express its position on such a big matter, so can Shen Shixing's words be the attitude of the cabinet?

Of course!

No one can refute this, act according to the Da Ming Law, no one can refute it, then modify the Da Ming Law. At this time, the cabinet is not only bold and responsible in making such a suggestion.

If you are not afraid of unreasonable suggestions, you are afraid that there will be no suggestions, whether you succeed or not, it is enough to let the officials quarrel, as long as they do not attack the cabinet, it is good. The eyes of the two of them looking at Shen Shixing were different, and the hundred officials seemed to have underestimated this Shoufu University Scholar!

Shen Shixing has always given people the feeling and style of acting, which is basically kind and easy to talk, but now it seems that it is not the case at all.

"I thought that the words of the elder were the words of the old man to seek the country." Yu Youding, as Shen Shixing's hardcore and the second assistant of the cabinet, naturally spoke at this time, and his speech was also very simple, fully supporting Shen Shixing.

"Revising the law of the Ming Dynasty can be a policy for the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, and a policy for appeasing the public opinion of hundreds of officials. In the current situation, it is the most appropriate way, and I support the words of the elder. ”

Hearing Yu Youding say this, Fang Fengshi also knew that he had nothing to say, so he also said: "Then act according to the words of the elder pavilion!" ”

When public opinion in the capital was raging and the hundred officials were frightened, the cabinet suddenly rose up and spoke for the hundred officials.

Originally, everyone didn't expect much from the cabinet of scholars, everyone knows what virtues Shen Shi practiced, and it was okay to be a peacemaker with the mud, but when it was really useful, he couldn't count on it at all.

How long has everyone been shouting the title of clay sculpture Shoufu, what can you count on him, everyone has compared him to Liu Mian. But no one expected that this time Shen Shixing actually made the strongest sound.

The first assistant scholar of the cabinet took the initiative, and the other two scholars jointly signed a petition to ask His Majesty to revise the Great Ming Law.

As soon as the recital came out, it set off an uproar in an instant, and everyone didn't expect the cabinet to make such a statement. It is not aimed at the Department of Law and Discipline, nor is it aimed at sentencing, but directly at the Ming Law.

bluntly said that the Da Ming Law is no longer in line with the current national conditions and needs to be revised.

Originally, everyone was shocked by what the cabinet did, but soon the ministers reacted, the Department of Law and Discipline was rampant, and hundreds of officials were shocked three times a day, not because the punishment imposed by the Ming Law was too heavy.

Eighty times will be hanged, and the family will be confiscated, if there is no such a serious criminal law, everyone will not have to be so afraid.

Once the Great Ming Law is rebuilt, wouldn't it be possible to remove this one? And it can be revised in a direction that is beneficial to the hundred officials? This trick is simply a stroke of genius, like a poplar hanging horn nowhere to be found.

It's a great move!

As a result, many people began to write to ask for a revision of the Da Ming Law, especially those officials with weak hearts. If they were really found out, hanged themselves, and confiscated their homes, how could they not be afraid.

Now that there is an opportunity to change this situation, how can you not be careful, it is like grasping the last straw. As for other things, I can't care so much.

Of course, there are also people who oppose it, shouting out what kind of ancestral system or something, but these people's voices are too weak and they are directly drowned out.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun looked at the mountains of twists and turns, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, this is the courtier of the Ming Dynasty. You can do anything shameless that is good for you.

In the past, they held on to the ancestral god card, and now they are the ones who abandon the ancestral system.

"The celebrant will take a look at it, and if it is a recital of the Great Ming Law, take it all out." Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Whale and said directly: "It's an eyesore here." ”

In fact, it's not really an eyesore, what Zhu Yijun has to do is a posture.

I want to let the officials know that I don't want to cultivate the Great Ming Law, do you think I can't see your thoughts? Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Whale again: "Issuing an order to reprimand the cabinet, how can the ancestral system be tampered with?" How can the law of the Ming Dynasty be tampered with? ”

"Emperor Taizu once said that it is an eternal example, don't they understand what this means?"

That is to say, for so many years, which emperor has not changed the eternal rule of Taizu. But what Zhu Yijun wants is this effect, he is killed once, and you will talk about the ancestral system in the future.
