Section 379 Change
The next day, the ministers came again to invite Zhu Jinglun to the throne, and everyone wore a hat because everyone had cut their hair. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhu Jinglun understood, they made a good choice, as for how many people really cut their braids from their hearts, it's hard to say.
The dissolution of servility is not an overnight thing, even in the 21st century, there is no shortage of such people, when there is any social problem in the United States, they always feel that it is the Chinese media that is smearing, when there is any good thing in China, they also have to look at it from a negative point of view, the progress of aviation science and technology can be linked to social welfare, they put themselves in the shoes of the foreign masters, but the foreign masters don't know them at all, they don't know that there are these minions, this is a group of people who have not cut off the braids in their hearts, and they have lost the coat of the master, which is very sad. It's pitiful, like a slave who lost his master after the Civil War, wandering in his heart and looking around.
So as long as you don't cut off the braids in your heart, people with the mentality of a clothed servant always want to find a master for themselves, they are not used to getting up and being a master by themselves, this kind of person can easily become a traitor and a traitor when foreign enemies invade, which is what Zhu Jinglun does not want to see.
He now let these people cut off the braids on the top of their heads, it doesn't mean that these people can quickly correct their mentality, become a self-reliant and self-reliant man, and they will immediately fall to their knees as soon as they cough, which is still a minion.
"Alright, get up, don't kneel!"
Zhu Jinglun said to everyone, but no one got up, they discussed it, this time they had to let Zhu Jinglun set a date for ascending the throne, and finish the matter at once, they didn't want to toss anymore.
From the Ming Dynasty to the present, they are a very confused concept in their hearts, they feel that it is because Zhu Jinglun has not officially ascended the throne, only when he has really ascended the throne and called the emperor and worshiped heaven and earth, they will feel that this country has really been established.
They need a ceremonial founding ceremony to satisfy their psychological need for legitimacy.
They even believe that the reason why Zhang Qianshan and Hou Jin were able to make waves immediately after the rumors of Zhu Jinglun's assassination spread, is because Zhu Jinglun did not officially establish the country.
"Lord Long, I've seen the big etiquette you made, there are as many as eight ways to kowtow alone, don't you think it's redundant?"
They were still kneeling, and Zhu Jinglun asked people to bring chairs and sit opposite them.
Long Yuanxi is very persistent: "If there is no etiquette, you can't distinguish between the upper and lower dignity, and if you don't have etiquette, you can't distinguish the theory of the outline. ”
Long Yuanxi said it naturally, which shows that he really thinks so.
Is it really that hard to get people standing?
Zhu Jinglun sighed, there is still an insurmountable gap between him and the thoughts of people in this era.
"That's it. Kneel if you like, but don't kneel in front of me. I can't agree with the etiquette you've made. I don't need you to kneel me, you know? I am equal to you. The Buddha said that all beings are equal, and people cannot be as equal as pigs, but at least people should be equal to each other. ”
Confucianism uses etiquette to divide people into strict hierarchies, which is also a psychological obstacle for China to enter the modern era, Zhu Jinglun wants to rely on the accession to the throne as an opportunity to destroy all these things, after all, the new dynasty and new atmosphere, only with the establishment of the new dynasty as a reason, can they more easily accept change.
No one spoke, they knelt and expressed their attitude.
Zhu Jinglun confessed: "Okay, okay, we can discuss, don't kneel every day, don't kneel when you meet, this is all right?" ”
Zhu Jinglun insisted on discussing with them, even if it was what he thought he should not do, he didn't need to be strong, and he should not do to others what he did not want to be done, this is civilization.
"Enthronement ceremony, must be worshipped!"
Long Yuan said happily.
"Good!"
Zhu Jinglun replied happily.
"To sacrifice heaven and earth, you must bow down."
"Okay."
"When you see your parents, you must bow down."
"Okay."
"See above, you must bow down."
"Nope."
……
After some bargaining, there were concessions to each other, Zhu Jinglun originally insisted on kneeling to the sky and kneeling to his parents, this is the bottom line he can accept, but the officials do not accept it, they think that the subordinates should also bow down when they see their superiors, after some arguments between the two sides, it is stipulated that the subordinates only need to bow down when they see their superiors for the first time, and they can meet each other with a tie at other times, which is nothing, in fact, when officials meet privately, they generally do not kneel, and the most difficult thing for Zhu Jinglun to accept is that this group of officials think that the common people must bow down when they see officials.
The common people kneel in front of the officials, which is really far from the concept that officials are servants of the people, but their concept is that the officials are the masters of the people and the parents of the people.
Later, the result of bargaining was that the scholar could not bow down to the official, which was a privilege that Zhu Jinglun won for the scholar. The so-called meritorious name can be seen in the official but not worshipped, that is just a legend that has been passed down in later generations. In an era when officials even have to kneel when they see each other, Xiucai dares not to kneel to the county officials? The truth is that when Xiucai and the ordinary people are in a lawsuit next to the officials, Xiucai also has to kowtow, but he doesn't have to kneel all the time, the people have to kneel all the time to respond to the lawsuit, which is the only difference.
Now Zhu Jinglun has won the privilege of reading people is that they don't have to kneel for the first time. But the people still have to kneel, but they don't have to kneel all the time.
Kneeling is a very important etiquette, at least in the minds of these officials.
On the contrary, Zhu Jinglun proposed to reform other matters, such as the extremely important law, but the officials did not argue so much, and of course the new dynasty must have a new law.
Zhu Jinglun has no opinion on most of the provisions of the Qing Dynasty's laws, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, in fact, in all dynasties, the laws of various countries are similar, nothing more than to punish evil and promote good, so murder and arson must be prohibited by law, and most of the punishments are the same, it is impossible to kill people in China, and it is legal to kill people in foreign countries.
What is different is the procedure of the law and the severity of the punishment.
Zhu Jinglun wants to change these things, for example, he asked for the abolition of the most uncivilized parts of the law, such as the system of joint sitting, he thinks that the nine clans are too barbaric, and the law should be the principle of one person doing things and one person being the one, which the officials did not insist on, in hindsight, in fact, the system of sitting together is simply a provision of the imperial power in suppressing the official power, under normal circumstances, only people with power can commit those major crimes that require the nine clans, and a flat-headed common man cannot commit much of a serious crime, except for rebellion, They won't have much opportunity to commit a felony.
But there are also officials who insist, and Zhu Jinglun will not agree to it alive or dead, that is, the punishment system, officials believe that if there is no punishment, how to make the prisoner confess, Zhu Jinglun believes that the use of punishment will only bring unjust, false and wrongful cases, and will only be beaten into a trick, and in the end, the officials gave in.
This allowed Zhu Jinglun to change the penal system in the Qing Dynasty, in fact, he had been doing it privately for a long time, and asked Hurd to hire some legal experts to delete the uncivilized things in the Qing Dynasty laws, and as for the main legal provisions, most of them were actually retained.
As for the fundamental changes, Zhu Jinglun does not feel the need to change for the time being, and he has no ability to change, you must know that the reconstruction of a judicial system, this is a big project, and there is no necessary knowledge reserve at present, plus the Qing Dynasty law is derived from the Ming law, is China's traditional customary law, is a summary of thousands of years of legal culture, the Qing Dynasty took the Qing Dynasty three years to formulate, and mainly inherited the provisions of the Ming law, Zhu Jinglun is not able to complete a new set of laws in a short time, so he can only follow the old law, and cut out the uncivilized parts of it.
As for when the formal law will change, it will depend on when enough common law cases can be accumulated.
In addition to deleting provisions, Zhu also took the opportunity to add parts that he considered important but ignored in traditional laws.
For example, the protection of property rights is included in the explicit text.
In fact, the officials still did not object much, because it was still in their favor.
Zhu Jinglun told them that unless it is an economic crime, such as corruption and bribery, everyone's property rights must be protected, and the inhumane raiding of homes should be abolished, and measures such as fines should be imposed on economic crimes.
In addition, the property rights registration system was also added, and unlike the real estate system implemented by the British in Hong Kong, Zhu Jinglun recognized the status quo of the separation of property rights and lease rights, and the official deed of ownership and the private deed of the right of use can go to the official government to ascend the throne, once the enthronement is enthroned, the official enthronement shall prevail, and any change in property rights without the enthronement of the government is not recognized in law.
On the contrary, the officials opposed this point strongly, because they probably felt that this was a restriction on them, so that whoever had how much land and real estate would have to be controlled by the government, which gave them a sense of crisis. But Zhu Jinglun told them that they didn't have to worry about this if they didn't raid their homes in the future. As a result, some self-proclaimed officials felt ashamed, and Chen Zhiting was the first to reprimand those who objected, telling them that they were not greedy or corrupt, and that no one should show anything.
After a whole day of bargaining, the first half of the day was when the officials knelt and Zhu Jinglun sit, and the second half of the day they really couldn't kneel, so they all started to sit, and it seems that not everyone likes to kneel.
After the discussion, combined with their opinions, and then passed on to the legal experts recruited by HD for review, so that they can make corresponding amendments according to these opinions, and the first step of Da Ming Law will be launched soon.
In addition, after Chen Zhiting and other high-ranking officials cut their braids, Zhu Jinglun ordered the entire Ming Dynasty officials at all levels to call on officials to cut their braids, but clearly told them that it was not compulsory. Shaving hair and making it easy to obey that was originally the darkest political event for culture in human history, Zhu Jinglun did not learn from Dolgon, he flaunted civilization, and he had to face these uncomfortable problems with a civilized attitude, so he did not force it.
But the army is different, Zhu Jinglun issued a military order, requiring the whole army to cut their braids immediately!
But most of the soldiers in the army are from the bottom of society, although those cultures such as those who have a body and skin are made by intellectuals, but the people who adhere to these traditions the most are often the little people at the bottom, so Zhu Jinglun's military order suddenly set off an uproar.
