Chapter 329 - Regulations for the Protection of Military Marriages
Several auxiliary officers were still wondering why Yun Xi called Ru Yu over today, and they heard Yun Xi say that he wanted to revise a "Da Ming Law". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everyone immediately knew why Yun Xi called Ru Yu over, he was the secretary of the Criminal Department. But the expressions on everyone's faces have become more serious. This public revision of the "Da Ming Law" is not a simple matter, and it is not as simple as Yun Xi turning out the four auxiliary officials from the pile of old papers. Yun Xi turned out the four auxiliary officials to assist in the administration, but it was just a sideshow. really blatantly modifying the "Da Ming Law" is against Zhu Yuanzhang's "Emperor Ming Ancestral Teachings".
But no one spoke lightly. Or Xia Fuguan was the first to speak: "Which "Da Ming Law" does Your Majesty want to revise?" ”
Yun Xi immediately said: "Modify this article." He took out what he had already copied and distributed it to all the officials present who were above the third grade, and at the same time said, "Revise the one that has been drawn out." ”
The person who gets the paper will know which one to change when they look at it. As the secretary of the Criminal Department, Ru Yu has related responsibilities, and asked, "How does Your Majesty want to modify it?" ”
Yun Xi said: "If you are not guilty of killing at the time, you will not change it, and the content after that, if the husband catches the adulterer in bed and kills the adulterer, it will be changed from 'stick ninety' to the adulterer exiled to the frontier." After that, 'after the fact', it was changed to if the evidence was conclusive, the adulterer was exiled to the frontier. ”
Yun Xi's words were a little vulgar, and some of the civil officials present were frowning. But they immediately focused only on what Yun Xi said.
Qi Tai, the winter assistant officer, said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. The reason why Emperor Taizu was not as strict as it was was because he took into account the occurrence of false accusations, especially after the fact, and there were too many misunderstandings. ”
Ru Yu also said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Qi said is right, it is true. People often joke about men and women, or they are jealous of the beauty of other people's daughters-in-law, so they spread rumors, and misunderstandings are common. ”
Ru Yu and Qi Tai didn't have to refute Yun Xi's words, but they were on the facts. Especially Ru Yu, who has also been a local official for a few years, is also from an ordinary person, and knows what the situation is in the people.
At this time, although Ru Yu didn't know what Yun Xi was proposing to revise such a law, he could also guess that most of it was because Yun Xi didn't know where he heard similar things from the people a few days ago, and then felt that the law was inappropriate, so he only wanted to revise this law today.
But how can the folk Tao be so simple? Ordinary people are fine! Once the specific content of this article is known to the people after the revision, then there will be something to look at. Not all day long all kinds of gossip continued. If the government intervenes again, the people will be completely lively.
As for what is conclusive evidence, what is conclusive evidence? Isn't this a theft that can have stolen goods as evidence, basically there is no physical evidence to prove, or is it just a human witness or a confession? Although officials in this era mainly relied on confessions and witnesses, they also knew that they could be forged.
Although Ru Yu's words were not very clear, Yun Xi still understood what he meant. Yun Xi thought about it again, wasn't he also the most curious about the rumors or gossip about the relationship between men and women in his previous life, and the most circulated? Basically, a woman who is very rich in her twenties and thirties everyone thinks that she is either a second generation or a second wife, and basically does not consider her own struggle or luck to get wealth.
However, the latter article must be revised. Yun Xi suddenly became entangled and began to look down and think.
Then, Yun Xi raised his head and said, "This one will not be changed." But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Yun Xi continued: "Then I want to add one." ”
"Just after this one, add an article. The content is that after the soldiers of the guard went to war, they heard that the adulterer was exiled to the frontier after the wife and others were verified, regardless of the identity of the adulterer. ”
Yun Xi also immediately explained: "When the soldiers of the guard go out to fight, they often go for a few months, or even a year or two, if the wife of someone's family is not punished with others, then what soldier is willing to go out to fight in the future?" So there must be a punishment for rumors. ”
Ru Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Doesn't this put the soldiers above the people?" Cannot. ”
Storm Zhao also said: "Your Majesty thinks twice. ”
Qi Tai hesitated for a moment and did not speak. He immediately guessed that it was for this reason that Yunxi wanted to revise the "Da Ming Law" today, and then decided to revise it separately for the soldiers when he found that there were many problems.
Qi Tai knew that since Yun Xi had already made up his mind to make changes, Yun Xi would never give in, especially if he had already backed down once just now. So Qi Tai pondered for a moment and did not speak.
Ru Yu and Tyrant Zhao may not have guessed Yun Xi's thoughts, but they are resolutely opposed to putting soldiers above the people, even if it is just a law. This has nothing to do with political stance, only whether you are a civilian official or a military general.
Then, Zhang Wen immediately said: "Why can't this be? This is His Majesty's Heavenly Grace, Grace and Soldiers. ”
Guo Zhen later also expressed his support. For military generals, no matter what they think in their hearts, they have to open their mouths to support it at this moment, at least not to oppose it. Sooner or later, such a thing will reach the ears of ordinary soldiers, and at this time, if you speak out against it and let ordinary soldiers know, how will you lead soldiers in the future?
The housekeepers immediately joined in. And the barriers on both sides of the viewpoint are clear, that is, with the civil and military as the boundary, one side opposes and the other supports. There are also people like Qi Tai who didn't speak, but they definitely didn't say anything to betray their camp.
Qi Tai later felt that he couldn't do it if he didn't speak, so he gave a few admonitions, but the words were not intense.
Yun Xi also made up his mind to change it, anyway, there is still the support of the generals, and the decree will be revised immediately.
Ru Yu weighed it and didn't dare to refuse on the spot, but after going back, she immediately informed all the officials of the Criminal Department and her relatives and friends about it.
Subsequently, many civil officials who knew about this matter went to the fold to admonish, and this time it really flocked to Yunxi like snowflakes. Although Yun Xi's order this time did not touch the bottom line of the civil officials, it was also relatively close, so the civil officials reacted fiercely.
Of course, there are also generals who have excerpts. The military generals naturally support Yun Xi, so it is not a one-sided opposition in the court. However, most of the generals are not like civilian officials who brush them every day, and the frequency of folding is low, so it seems that most of them are opposed.
Yunxi's countermeasure is that no matter how many folds come, it is only when there is none, and all of them are left in the middle. At the same time, Yun Xi issued an order urging the Criminal Department to send the revised "Da Ming Law" to the localities. Of course, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was also issued. It was much easier over there, and it was basically sent to every guard in the area without a pause. Of course, it will take time to spread the word about the health centers throughout the country.
Ru Yu didn't dare to hard top, so she agreed. But the people of the criminal department are all dead in the matter, and they just don't agree. When the officials of the Criminal Department were thinking about what Yun Xi would do, Yun Xi's will came down, and he was relieved of his position as the head of the Criminal Department and transferred to the Hanlin Academy. After that, this decree was smoothly distributed to the localities.
Yun Xi was still afraid of the slow spread, so he immediately ordered the literati team led by Luo Guanzhong to write an opera about this, and specially instructed that it must be able to attract the attention of the people and soldiers.
However, although the order has been passed down, there are still civil officials who advise them, and they brush it every day, and Yun Xi is very annoying. So after thinking about it, Yun Xi decided to immediately announce another thing that he had been thinking about for a long time, in order to divert the focus of attention, and at the same time, it would also make the civil officials who were still on the fold not dare to continue the fold.
