"Ouch!"

Li Zhi suddenly felt creepy, because he was born a prince, and later the prince, and then to the emperor, he was exposed to it, and he took the slave system for granted, and he didn't think about it, because his own character is not the kind of slave who gets angry at every turn, it's like the stinky cow dung, it's ugly, it stinks, but Li Zhi was born with it, so he doesn't have too many feelings, and today I heard Han Yi say this, so I feel very terrible.

So he immediately said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Taiwei, why does this kind of system, which is not good for the country and the people, exist in our dynasty?" ”

I wondered in my heart that this was obviously a wrong thing, and it actually existed.

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little speechless about this question, the slave system is a class system, that is, it is managed with the ruler, you emperor still asks this question, you should pull it to ******, but he also knows that Li Zhi is young after all, and he heard Han Yi say that, so he didn't turn the corner all of a sudden, so he said: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid system has existed since the Qin and Han dynasties, and our Tang Dynasty has only inherited the ancient system, and there are many improvements in the law, such as the master wants to kill the slave and maid, he must apply to the government, and he must be guilty, Otherwise, it also violates the criminal law, and our dynasty is not allowed to tempt people as slaves, and it is not allowed to force people to be slaves, in addition, a long time ago, slaves are slaves, and they have been slaves for generations, and they can't be changed, but our dynasty can be promoted from slaves to beloved, and a lot of improvements have been made to this, as for the abuse and abuse mentioned by Han Yi, this thing also exists, but when His Majesty is angry, he will inevitably scold his subordinates, which is inevitable. ”

This is a typical speech by the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi asked him how to be good if the officials will be favorable, not the system? He said that human affection is inevitable, and Li Zhi is now saying that it is not wrong to abuse slaves and maids, and he is saying that human nature is inevitable.

"Grandpa, my grandson has something to say."

Eldest Sun Yan suddenly spoke.

The eldest grandson Wuji was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "You have something to say, when you say something, you have to report it to grandpa." ”

The eldest grandson Yan said: "Grandpa's words are true, but the laws of our dynasty for slaves and maids are still not perfect enough, and the progress is not so obvious. Let's just say that the master applies to the government to kill the slave and maid, although there is a law in our dynasty, the slave and the maid can only approve the killing of the slave and the maid if the slave and the maid commit a crime, but the slave and the maid cannot enter the government to complain, unless it is a major crime of rebellion, so the government only listens to the master's words, and the officials themselves look down on the slave and the maid, and will not seriously investigate, because often some slaves and maids are not seriously wrong, and the government also approves the master's application. It is precisely the laxity of the law on slavery and maidservants in our dynasty that causes some laws to exist only in name only, and are dispensable. ”

Han Yi glanced at Changsun Yan in surprise, this fat man is not silent and has very few words, so Han Yi thinks that Changsun Yan is a bit of a mother, today is considered to have seen the other side of Changsun Yan, in front of the emperor, singing against his prime minister grandfather, how much courage does it take!

As everyone knows, the eldest grandson Yan believes in the spirit of Legalism, and when he talks about the law, the spirit comes.

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little unhappy in his heart, but after all, he had been a prime minister for decades, and he also knew his grandson's temperament, not only did he not fight, but also nodded and said: "Yan'er's words are not unreasonable. ”

But he did not give a conclusive answer.

Li Zhi frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Someone! Immediately announce that the right servant shot, the left servant shot, the middle book waiter, and the door servant entered the palace to discuss matters. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this is not too early. ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "I remember that the Taiwei and my father had discussed from the morning to the next morning. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and didn't make a sound.

"Han Yi, Eldest Sun Yan, you two should also come along." After Li Zhi finished speaking, he strode out of the palace, young and vigorous, and it can be seen that Li Zhi is not a mediocre emperor, he is also ambitious.

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Han Yi and blamed: "Can you be cautious, if you don't do it well, there will be a big basket." ”

Han Yi said innocently: "Taiwei Mingjian, I just hope that the royal police will have a benevolent heart, I didn't expect it to be like this, and with Taiwei here, I can't get out of the big basket." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed and said, "Oh, let the old man make up for the mistakes you made, you are really not polite!" This matter, the old man told you that if you want to get out of the basket, you have to solve it. As he spoke, he walked to the palace

．

Chu Suiliang, Han Ming, Lai Ji, and Yu Zhining received the order and hurried to the palace, thinking that something big had happened, so they urgently summoned them to the palace this night.

When I came to the Liangyi Palace, I saw that Han Yi was also there, and I sighed in my heart, every time Han Yi was there, there was no good thing.

Sure enough, after listening to Li Zhi's words, the four of them were stunned, okay, how did they get involved here.

Li Zhi waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for someone to open his mouth, so he said, "I don't know what a few Aiqing think about this?" ”

Chu Suiliang looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and saw that the eldest grandson Wuji's eyelids fell slightly, so he stood up and said excitedly: "Your Majesty has this benevolent heart, which is the blessing of the society and the blessing of the people, and the minister is very happy. ”

When Han Yi heard it, he only sighed, his acting skills are superb! He knew that Chu Suiliang must have the following, if it was really so easy to solve, then the slave system would not exist.

Sure enough, Chu Suiliang's words changed sharply and said, "But has Your Majesty ever thought about why the slave and maid system exists?" ”

Li Zhi took out Han Yi's theory that the existence is reasonable.

Chu Suiliang nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right, but this slave system is cruel, but it is only one of the words. The source of slaves and maids can be roughly divided into three categories, first, prisoners of war, second, criminals, and third, the poor, most of these three kinds of people have no land and no money, if there is no slave system, these people will inevitably disturb the law and order in order to live, or steal or rob, or become refugees, harass the people, and even gather people to rebel, and the slave system can be a good way to eliminate this.

The reason why our dynasty system is very strict with slaves and maids is that these people either have different aspirations, or have bad conduct, or are lazy, or ignorant, and a landlord may have a dozen, or even dozens of slaves and maids, if they are not punished strictly, will these slaves and maids still listen to the landlord? At that time, I am afraid that the number of people who kill their masters will increase day by day, in order to better control, so not only our dynasty, but also all dynasties have very strict control over slaves and maids. ”

Han Ying and Lai Ji nodded in agreement.

Han Yi also praised in his heart, Chu Suiliang is really eloquent, his words are obviously to avoid the truth and protect the rights and interests of the nobles, he didn't mention it, he said a lot of big truths, and he also said it reasonably.

In fact, they still have one point not to say, and the most important point, that is, the Tang Dynasty relied on the aristocracy and large landlords to start, the Tang Dynasty must ensure the vital interests of this part of the people, for the leniency of slaves and maids, then it is a harm to the landlords and nobles, this is not a small problem, if it is not good, it will cause a very big contradiction, Zhenguan period, how many virtuous ministers, but no one questioned the slave system, throughout the ancient and modern times, I am afraid that Wang Mang, the half-demon and half-god madman tried to freeze the slave system, and he hung up, So no matter what Chu Suiliang thought in their hearts, they had to stop Li Zhi's thoughts.

Li Zhi listened very contradictory, on the one hand, he felt that what Han Yi said was reasonable, but on the other hand, he felt that what Chu Suiliang said was reasonable, so he looked at Han Yi and said, "Han Yi, what do you think about this?" ”

When Chu Suiliang saw Han Yi, he was also stunned, after all, he had lost to Han Yi several times, but it didn't matter, it was just a battle of truths, and this was related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty, this time he would definitely stop Han Yi, but he was afraid that he couldn't talk about Han Yi.

Han Yi got up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Wechen thinks that what the right servant said is very reasonable, Wechen only borrowed the slave system to educate the royal police to be benevolent, and Wechen just thinks that it is possible to properly give the slave and maid some life and physical protection, reduce the situation of abuse and killing, the people's hearts are better than their hearts are evil, this kind of connivance will affect the people, and it will also promote this kind of unhealthy tendencies, people should be benevolent, do not ignore life, or give respect to life." ”

Chu Suiliang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it!

Li Zhi sighed: "I am also worried about this, there are countless slaves and maids in the family of the ministers of the court, if this situation is not prevented in time, then my courtiers will only know how to enjoy themselves, become lazy, and lose their benevolence, then who will help me govern the world!" Moreover, in any case, they are all my people, and I should give them some protection, otherwise how can they consider themselves to be my people? ”

The reason why he is very anxious about this matter is mostly out of compassion, but there are also some political reasons, if the slave only agrees with his master, it has nothing to do with him, once the master does not agree with him as an emperor, then the slaves and maids below will not agree with him, which makes him a little uneasy.

This time it was Chu Suiliang's turn to be entangled, the emperor was benevolent, this is a good thing, this is worth advocating, you can't object to it as a courtier, but this matter can't be objected to.

The eldest grandson Wuji groaned slightly, suddenly stood up, and said: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, it is the blessing of my Tang Dynasty, as a courtier, no matter what, you should spare no effort to support Your Majesty." ”

When Chu Suiliang heard this, he looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a little surprise.

The eldest grandson Wuji continued: "But to govern the country, the most taboo is to be anxious for quick success and quick profit, and everything must be done slowly, otherwise, the gains outweigh the losses." The old minister has a suggestion. ”

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Taiwei said quickly." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The slave and maid system has existed for hundreds of years, if you want to abolish it, it will definitely not work, if you are in a hurry, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos, Your Majesty can't bear to be these slaves and maids are beaten and killed indiscriminately, then we can change some laws in the law to enhance the protection of slaves and maids, if you are not guilty of abusing slaves and maids, resulting in cripplement, you will be defined as guilty, increase the punishment for indiscriminate killing of slaves and slaves and tempting people to be slaves, and there is a chance for slaves and maids to be given a chance to argue before the government approves the killing of slaves. ”

When Chu Suiliang heard this, he hurriedly echoed: "The ministers agree. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Then according to what the Taiwei said, please leave this matter to the Taiwei." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The old minister obeys. (To be continued.) )
