Chapter 683: Relieving the Emperor's Worries

On the first day of the new year, I wish you all success, all the best, good luck, Wishing you prosperity!

……

On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it rained lightly in Nanjing. The icy winter rain doused the already lively atmosphere in Nanjing that day.

The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is different, and the winter rain is cold in spring. The ice and snow period is far away, and the banana is the beginning.

This sudden rain really added two touches of pity to the city of Nanjing, which was approaching the festival......

……

At Shimonoseki Wharf, a royal ship surrounded by four river warships docked at the wharf. A large number of Nanjing's magnates appeared in the port, including the current empress and the uncle in a wheelchair.

This royal ship will carry more than 100 noble sons and daughters of Nanjing, including Chen Ding, all of whom are dressed in boy scout uniforms, and in the next month or so, they will take the ship straight into Sichuan, and train for a month in the northwest of Sichuan, at the junction of Sichuan and Qinghai-Tibet.

There is no life and death on the dock, this system has been going on for several years, and the princes have suffered and sinned, what else do they have to say?

As for whether the children of the powerful who have been added are willing to participate in this arduous 'retraining', does their opinion matter? Do they have a say in the matter?

However, there is one more uninvited guest in this year's team - Chen Zifeng, who is nineteen years old, and Chen Wenyue, the third son of Chen Wenyue, the right deputy senator of the General Staff Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office. This was added abruptly in the early stages of the team's departure.

Except for a limited number of people, no one knew how Chen Zifeng, who was already nineteen years old, had to go down to the children's camp. But everyone clearly knew that this guy must have done something to make the emperor angry.

And his mission is different from Chen Ding's theirs, after spending a month of Scout career together, Chen Zifeng will not follow Chen Ding and them back to Nanjing, but continue to live in the boy boy camp in the western Sichuan border until the training is qualified, and then he will be directly assigned to the outpost in Sichuan and Tibet.

There is no way, who let this notorious guy in Nanjing be remembered by the people above.

This is not the credit of Huang Dingyou, the deputy editor-in-chief, after Liu Chengshan slapped Chen Zifeng that day, he also went to the wedding scene to make amends to Huang Dingyou. That shocked Tsunetani's jaw. It's a pity that at this time, Huang Dingyou had already told Xiang Kexiang about the matter like a story.

The identity of the son-in-law of the king of the Ryukyus to Xiang Kexiang is useless in Chen Han, but among the people he interacts with is Chen Ding, the eldest son of the emperor of the empire.

When Xiang Kexiang told His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor of the Chen Han Empire about Chen Zifeng's affairs without concealing or exaggerating, it was natural that the ruler of the Chen Han Empire also knew all this. Then Chen Ming did not directly order the 'disposal' of Chen Zifeng, of course, he did not set off Huang Dingyou, the latter's performance in this matter was also more eye-catching, but summoned all his sons over the age of six and asked them to say how to punish a guy like Chen Zifeng.

Yes, Chen Ming's most direct idea is to teach Chen Zifeng, who made him a grass citizen in his previous life, and he was most envious and jealous of those second generations? Some things are very deep-rooted, Chen Ming has traveled for a long time, and his identity has changed greatly, but that kind of psychology has not been shaken.

Chen Ding, Chen Zhen, Chen Zhen, Chen Wei, Chen Tong, etc., all regarded entering the army as the best education and transformation for Chen Zifeng.

This can only be blamed for Chen Ming saying good things about the army in front of them again and again when he was a child, saying that the army is the best melting pot in the world and the most tempering place in the world. Chen Ming often instilled this philosophy in his son, and now he has been rewarded. This 'return' was quickly sent to Chen Wenyue's house in the form of an oral message. Then Chen Zifeng, who had just been slapped by Chen Wenyue at home, was dumbfounded, and Chen Wenyue was even more cold in a cold sweat after he came back to his senses.

No matter how reluctant Chen Zifeng and his mother were to endure hardships and suffering, the emperor's irresistible mountain pressed over, and he could only cry and bow his head.

That's how wonderful things are in this world.

"Congratulations to the mother."

At the dock, Chen Wenyue did not go home, nor did he go to the General Staff Department, but came to Liu Chengshan's office.

Of course, Liu Chengshan knew the mood of the old boss at the moment, and at noon he booked a table of banquets outside, and he and Chen Wenyue drank happily, which made Chen Wenyue shocked.

"That rabbit cub actually stabbed the eldest prince to the eldest prince, why didn't he stab me in the chest?"

After two glasses of wine, Chen Wenyue's anger that he had been suppressing for the past two days exploded. Because Chen Zifeng is going to western Sichuan, no matter how angry Chen Wenyue is, he won't dare to beat Chen Zifeng anymore, otherwise he will break people, and the whole world will not think that he is teaching his son, but will only think that he is doing a bitter trick. At the cost of wounding his own son, he was exempted from the emperor's punishment. Chen Wenyue's courage is definitely not that big.

"Chengshan, brother, I want to thank you." Liu Chengshan slapped him well, and took the initiative to apologize to Huang Dingyou, and informed him that he was timely enough, otherwise Chen Zifeng's disaster would really be big. Who would have known that the young man was the deputy editor-in-chief of Ta Kung Pao? And the wedding scene of a small seven-rank official was even present with the son-in-law of the king of the Ryukyus, who even stabbed the matter to His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor the next day.

Now the whole officialdom of Nanjing is circulating the joke that he Chen Wenyue has no way to teach his son. Chen Zifeng was just a scoundrel in the market before, but now he is really famous.

However, what Chen Wenyue didn't expect was that it was approaching the end of the year, and His Majesty the Emperor suddenly became busy because of Chen Zifeng's affairs.

Chen Ming finally made up his mind to enact a law on the responsibility of officials and their children for violations of discipline.

In the previous life, it was not uncommon for the children of officials to engage in business immigration or violate laws and disciplines, and so on, and even became a social norm. And the impact of these things on the government is very unfavorable, and for a small grass person like Chen Ming in his previous life, he can't express the envy and jealousy in words.

If you want to talk about why the credibility of rabbits in the new century is so low, one of the reasons is definitely why the relatives and children of officials have behaved in a way that makes ordinary people feel unfair.

Chen Han's responsibility system is very binding on officials, and Chen Ming's own son is still young, to a certain extent, he ignores the children of Chen Han's high-level officials and magnates, but Chen Zifeng's appearance is a wake-up call for him.

Although many of the second generations in his eyes are excellent, there will always be bad birds when the forest is big, and he can't take it lightly.

With this driving force, the sling emotions of the previous life quickly recoiled, and the more Chen Ming thought about it, the more he felt that he should formulate a set of laws to link some of the behaviors of the relatives and children of officials with the officials themselves, and equate some special interests between the two.

This is by no means Chen Ming's impulse, but he knows too well the influence of the second generation of officials. In his previous life, as a ** Chen Ming, he had seen too many such things on the Internet.

This situation is by no means unique to the 21st century, looking through the history of China, how many famous people in history turned over their gorgeous outfits only to find that there are dirty and disgusting bedbugs everywhere below.

For example, Xu Jie, that is a generation of celebrities. Accumulating strength under Yan Song's obscenity, enduring humiliation, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are inextricably linked with them, and they must not be underestimated. But what about Xu Jie's relatives and children in his hometown? Rampant in the township, sheltering the hidden field, accepting contributions, sending fields, and also buying a large number of fields, the Xu family covers an area of as much as 240,000 acres, plus his children and domestic slaves committed crimes, resulting in a mountain of papers suing him. Ying Tianxun Hai Rui and Bing Xian Cai Guoxi handled the case impartially and punished his family. Xu Jie bribed Dai Fengxiang with 30,000 taels of gold, and through Zhang Juzheng's order, Chen Sanmo dismissed Hai Rui and Cai Guoxi. Therefore, people at that time called him: "The prime minister of the family can chase the constitution of the court", and some people called him "power traitor".

The evening festival is not guaranteed, and the reputation of the first generation is lost.

There is also Dong Qichang, when Chen Ming first began to know his name, Dong Qichang existed in his memory as a calligrapher. But later, this calligrapher suddenly became a dirty gentry with a belly of male thieves and female prostitutes, as well as the so-called legend of the people copying Dong Eun. And when Chen Ming became an adult, there was a wave of remarks on the Internet that Dong Qichang overturned the case: it was said that the reason why the 'people copied Dong Eun' happened was entirely because Dong Qichang was supervising Huguang and studying politics, and he did not ask for advice, and was resented by powerful people, and hundreds of people made noise and destroyed his office.

The 'conclusion on the coffin' in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" is based on historical facts, not false.

Because the two major contributors to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", Wan Sitong and Wang Hongxu, are both good talents in history, adhering to the mantle of Huang Zongxi, and paying attention to historical facts. During the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, the political atmosphere was particularly tense, and the literary prison was particularly cruel, and people would be beheaded all over the house because of the literary prison incident. Moreover, Dong Qichang was also the target of the Manchu rulers during the Qing Dynasty's literary prison, and his remarks on "slave chieftains are easy to kill, and Liao's resentment leads to the sky" made the Qing emperors of all dynasties very angry. Because Yuan Keli, Mao Wenlong and others became the objects that the Qing Dynasty officials needed to deliberately avoid because they were good at the military affairs of the late Ming Dynasty. It is unlikely that the Qing Dynasty whitewashed Dong Qichang for beauty, so the evaluation of Dong Qichang in the History of the Ming Dynasty is faithful to historical facts.

Moreover, the highest position held by Dong Qichang is the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. After Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Beijing, it was completely different to be a secretary of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, the capital of China, and it was completely different from being a secretary of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing, and Dong Qichang was not a particularly large high-ranking official with real power. His power in this floating position cannot reach the ability of Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, and Wei Zhongxian to prey on the officials and the people, and it is an exaggeration to say that Dong Qichang is "as dangerous as Lu Qi, as rich as Yuan Zai, and as obscene and extravagant as Dong Zhuo".

Hmph, this remark directly and fundamentally determines the historiographical value of the "History of the Ming Dynasty". Intuitively, Chen Ming was hehe.

But hehe, these things have a great influence on Chen Ming. This is because all these events have fully proved that the violations of law and discipline by the relatives and children of officials are a problem left over from China's history for thousands of years, and they are a key point that cannot be ignored.

Coupled with ready-made examples like Chen Zifeng, Chen Ming has to face up to this problem.

Chen Cong frowned, Chen Erbao, Chen Quan, Wang Huizu, Pang Zhenkun, Xiong Bingzhang, Liu Wen, etc. also felt that their mouths were very bitter, and this matter was really difficult to do. If this is made public, they should not become the target of scolding from officials all over the world.

But look at what the emperor said just now?

"I have thought about it again and again, and I must not slack off in this matter. All the ministers are important ministers of the country, and my henchmen ...... humerus, "Then naturally I want to relieve the emperor's worries."

So, bitterness, great suffering.

Chen Erbao, Chen Quan, Wang Huizu, Pang Zhenkun, Xiong Bingzhang, Liu Wen and others glanced at each other, but they could only bow their heads and obey orders. And the bitterness on their faces, as if he didn't see it, the emperor continued to say his reasons:

"Why do you want to regulate the relatives of officials?"

"This is a very important aspect of preventing violations of law and discipline and corruption. Because of the asymmetry of information and the imbalance in the resources in their possession, it is very easy for the relatives of officials to do business and run enterprises within their jurisdiction, which can easily interfere with and undermine the order of the market economy, lead to unfair market competition, and will also lead to the breeding and spread of corruption.

I have investigated a number of cases of economic corruption in the past few years, and there are many such cases, while there are also some economic cases that are only targeted at the children of officials and do not have much to do with the officials themselves. This is not right.

The occurrence of such a thing itself affects the image of the government and harms the interests of the country. Over time, the words and deeds of the emperor and officials will no longer have credibility, and the people will no longer trust what you say. ”

Chen Ming picked up a thick folder on his desk, and his voice was even louder, "In recent years, many of the official corruption cases that have been investigated and dealt with in various places have been through relatives, sons, sons-in-law, and other businesses that have led to collusion between officials and businessmen, money and power transactions, and improper transfer of interests. All of them have had a very bad impact on the ground. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to regulate the business and enterprise run by officials themselves and their relatives. ”

Chen Ming still did not cut off the road of doing business for the officials, but colluded with the business behavior of the officials themselves and their relatives, Chen Ming felt that the point system could still appear in this provision, summarize all kinds of crimes, subjective, passive, etc., all set scores, some are touched, some can be suspended, and some accumulate points, what kind of punishment will there be when the score accumulates to a certain extent......

Chen Ming didn't know how long it would take for the entire legal system to be established, because the formulation of a law is never something that can be achieved overnight, but needs to be revised, supplemented, and constantly improved.

This code of conduct for officials and their relatives and children is also a powerful system, which is only a preliminary formulation now, and will continue to be strengthened in the future as society changes.

But he was determined to keep the law forward.
