The sudden words also attracted everyone's attention, and it was naturally Xiao Yu who said this.

"This guy really won't give up." Fang Xuanling muttered.

"Hehe, the one who should come will always come, nothing surprising." Li Jianguo seemed very calm, all this had been expected by him.

Li Shimin was also very upset by Xiao Yu's sudden words, but he still asked expressionlessly: "Oh? What is the objection of Xiao Qing's family? ”

"Your Majesty, "Wude Law" was written by Emperor Gaozu. Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, he ordered a yellow-mouthed child to rewrite it, for fear that it will attract criticism. Xiao Yu didn't give Li Jianguo any discussion when he spoke, and the smile on his face was even worse, "Don't be surprised by Lord Li, this official has always spoken more straightforwardly." ”

Li Jianguo smiled back and said lightly: "Lord Xiao is also thinking about the Tang Dynasty, how can this official blame Lord Xiao." It's just that the official is very curious about whether Lord Xiao is loyal to Emperor Gaozu, or is it the current saint? ”

"This official is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, I don't know what Lord Li means by this?" Xiao Yu glanced at Li Jianguo fiercely and asked.

"Hehe, Lord Xiao, don't get excited, this official has no other intentions. Since Lord Xiao is loyal to Datang, now that there are flaws in Datang's laws, why does Lord Xiao pretend to turn a blind eye? Could it be that the emperor's order to improve the law will cause harm to the Tang Dynasty? Li Jianguo didn't let it go at all.

"Haha, presumably Master Li must have something outstanding, I want to see how Master Li is perfected, and I ask Lord Li for advice!" Xiao Yu's words revealed a sense of disdain.

"Some time ago, this official witnessed an incredible thing in Chang'an City. A strong man in broad daylight actually wanted to snatch someone else's daughter to pay off his debts. In the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there is such a thing, is this a distortion of human nature or a moral degradation? Li Jianguo described what happened that time, but strangely not many ministers were surprised, and they all behaved calmly.

Xiao Yu sneered and said, "What's so strange about this? It is natural to repay debts, and since you can't pay back the money, you naturally take people to pay off your debts. These are disputes between the common people, and are they worth talking about in this court? ”

Li Jianguo shook his head helplessly, it seems that the ideological consciousness of these ministers is not high enough, so they will be accustomed to it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the world is the world of the people of the world, if there are no people, where will the country and the mountains and societies come from, and those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times will win the world. Before the law, all people are equal, from the princes and nobles to the common people. As officials, we should take the world as our own responsibility and seek benefits for the people, which is much better than a vegetarian meal for the corpse. In this way, the Tang Dynasty can be forever solid, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Li Jianguo looked at the ministers and spoke.

As soon as Li Jianguo's words fell, they aroused the discussion of all ministers.

"Master Li is very right."

"yes, that's a good point."

“……”

Li Jianguo's remarks also aroused praise from the ministers. When Xiao Yu saw the change in wind direction, he was also so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Li Jianguo was also very satisfied when he saw the reaction of the ministers, and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, this official has decided to divide the household marriage law into the household law and the marriage law, and the household law is the law that protects the lives of the people. In addition, the punishment of exile, caning and flogging was abolished, and the term of imprisonment was extended, and the sentence was changed to fixed-term imprisonment and life imprisonment. In addition, two new penalties of control and detention were added, and those who violated the law were fined, their property confiscated, and their right to participate in scientific research and political participation was revoked. ”

The ministers were all at a loss after hearing this, and they didn't understand what Li Jianguo meant, and Li Jianguo also explained them one by one at the moment, and everyone understood after listening to them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Li Aiqing's suggestion?" Li Shimin looked at the ministers and asked, and at the same time glanced at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui immediately understood in their hearts, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

With Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui taking the lead, many ministers also fell into the wind one after another, and responded: "Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the proposal." ”

Only Xiao Yu and several ministers who were good friends with him have never been perverted. Li Shimin also discovered this, looked in the direction of Xiao Yu, and asked, "Xiao Qingjia, do you have any objections?" ”

Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, according to Lord Li, the so-called fines, confiscation of property, etc., will be imposed on those who violate the law, and I wonder if the money will be returned to the treasury?" ”

"This is natural, the law is made by the imperial court, and the violation of the law is equivalent to disobeying the orders of the imperial court, and the amount of punishment is naturally all returned to the treasury." Li Shimin said lightly.

Xiao Yu frowned, and glanced at the ministers around him, all of whom showed bitter expressions. Come to think of it, this group of people should be the black sheep on the fringes of the law.

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the new law is too harsh, and I am afraid that the few punishments imposed by Lord Li will be difficult to enforce." The imposition of so-called fines is the same as harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and in the long run, I am afraid that the people will complain and damage the emperor's sage. ”

Regarding what Xiao Yu said, Li Jianguo laughed, "Haha, Lord Xiao's words are too far-fetched, right?" The punishment is for those who break the law, and if they are open-minded and act according to the law, how can they worry that they will be punished. For those who violate the law, if we still turn a blind eye, it will be detrimental to the emperor's sanctity. ”

"Well said, what Li Aiqing said is exactly what I want to say. Although the new law is strict, it also guarantees the lives of the people. The matter of the law, I have made up my mind, does Xiao Qing's family want to resist the decree? Li Shimin stared at Xiao Yu with sharp eyes.

Xiao Yu shuddered and shuddered: "Your Majesty, minister...... The minister seconded. ”

"Very well, besides, I would like to add one more to the new law. In the future, officials are not allowed to do business, otherwise they will be punished according to law. Li Shimin glanced at the ministers and said sharply, "This regulation is to prevent collusion between officials and businessmen, thereby harming the interests of the people and endangering the society. ”

When Li Shimin said this regulation, Li Jianguo noticed that Xiao Yu's face became even more ugly, "Could it be that this guy still has this hand?" Li Jianguo thought to himself, "It seems that the emperor has been tolerating for a long time, and this time it is going to be completely rectified." ”

"Obey the Holy Command!" The ministers said in unison.

"Very well, then, we can proclaim the new law to the people and inform the world. Li Aiqing will handle this matter! Li Shimin looked at Li Jianguo and said.

Li Jianguo nodded, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"In this case, let's retreat!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers knelt down and shouted, and they withdrew from the Taiji Hall one after another.
