Chapter 661 Because of Justice

Chen Xie faced Zhu Cihong, and when the two were talking, Zhu Cihong's meaning was to get rid of these fames. And the attitude is still very resolute, and there is even the intention of sending Jiang Fengyuan, a-stirring stick, home.

After listening to him very calmly, Chen Xie said lightly: "Your Majesty, don't put your personal feelings above the law, even if Your Majesty has this right, don't use it lightly." Everything should be solved within the legal framework, and if there are no relevant laws and policies, then the idea should be improved and improved. It is very efficient to solve the problem by simply eliminating violence, but in the long run, it will be difficult to change it after getting used to abusing power. His Majesty is like this, and the officials are like this, and the country has long been prone to fall into a vicious environment of supremacy of rights. ”

Zhu Cihong was stunned by what he said, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Please also ask Mr. to teach me!" Chen Xie took out the record in Tianjin, handed it to Zhu Cihong and said: "This is the process of trying the case in Tianjin, in fact, this time, the minister is still suspected of abusing his power, but the environment at that time did not allow the minister to make a slight concession, otherwise things will easily get out of control." ”

When Zhu Cihong slowly savored these words, Chen Xie got up unhurriedly and arched his hand: "Your Majesty look slowly, the minister will go back first." By the way, Hao Jin is in the hands of Jinyiwei, and His Majesty had better remind them not to abuse the death penalty even if they enter the Imperial Prison. ”

Chen Xie just left, without the slightest intention of taking the opportunity to beat the water dog. Zhu Cihong didn't understand why Chen Xie, such a ruthless character who was decisive and decisive, was so polite to political enemies in the DPRK and China? Chen Xie didn't explain either, because there was no need for that. There are things that someone must be the first to do, otherwise how to promote the progress of this era? The Ming Dynasty was tossed by Chen Xie, and it was already unrecognizable. infinitely close to the model of modern capitalism. But this last step is very difficult to get out. Chen Xie is not in a hurry, and accumulation has always been the established line.

Chen Xie went home to appease the three women, and Zhu Cihong called the rest of the cabinet early the next morning, and they were in the study. Zhu Cihong pointed to the case file that Chen Xie brought back: "I asked people to copy a few copies, everyone took a look, and then spoke after reading it." ”

After Zhou Yanru finished reading, he was silent, his eyes were dull, and he seemed to be distracted. Lu Xiangsheng was savoring something, Yang Tinglin was almost like this, Hong Chengchou's face flickered uncertainly, and he seemed to be struggling. Shi Kefa's eyes were bright. Seems to see something. After Jiang Fengyuan read it, he seemed very uncomfortable, and finally held back a sentence: "Nonsense, in this way, where is the majesty of the government, whether it is guilty or not, how can the local old man have the final say?" What do they understand? ”

Zhu Cihong didn't speak, and his eyes looked a little dark. He didn't sleep well last night. This would yawn and turn around and ask, "Why hasn't the Chen Pavilion Department arrived yet?" Lao Zhou smiled: "Long live the lord." The slave sent someone to invite it, but it is estimated that she did not get up. Zhu Cihong said to herself: "Also, my sister is looking forward to giving birth to a second son, and it's not a day or two." ”

Jiang Fengyuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, be cautious." Zhu Cihong glanced at him helplessly, and said lightly: "Teachable." But I was thinking. This person is really boring, if it were a brother-in-law, he would smile with himself, and he would even joke.

"Let's talk about it, how is this?" Zhu Cihong asked again. directly filtered what Jiang Fengyuan said before.

"Majesty xià ......." Jiang Fengyuan wants to express his position again, at this time he is just a thought, he must try his best to influence the emperor and let him listen to himself, and then there is hope that the previous things can be reversed. As a result, Zhu Cihong glanced at him and said with a smile: "Sir, let's listen to what the other pavilion elders have to say first, Zhou Xiang, what do you mean?" ”

As a result, Jiang Fengyuan's face was slammed again, and he had no strength in the last struggle, so he could only watch the others speak silently. Zhou Yanru knew very well in his heart that Chen Xie was talking about this matter in Tianjin, if it weren't for the death of Hao Jin and Li Jinzuo, it wouldn't have been like that. Even if he won it at that time, Chen Xie still gave Hao Jin a chance. It is to see if the emperor can let him go, and it also depends on Zhou Yanru's determination to save people. In general, Chen Xie has done his best to be benevolent and righteous. If Li Jin was interesting enough, the father and elders at that time might speak for him, and the onlookers would also speak for him. As long as such a thing happens, Hao Jin's problem will be easier to handle, but unfortunately, Li Jin does not have the ability to be a man.

Of course, this is Zhou Yanru's personal understanding, and he can't understand the legal spirit contained in Chen Xie. Since the Qin Dynasty, absolute monarchy has always been the highest pursuit of rulers, and the Qing Dynasty has achieved the pinnacle of this. The dictatorship of the Ming Dynasty was actually not so strict, because there were checks and balances between the emperor and the ministers.

What Chen Xie is doing now is to slowly dilute the absolute power of the monarchy and guide a model of mutual checks and balances between monarchs and ministers. And then slowly move towards the rule of law, little by little. It's difficult, Chen Xie knows it very well in his heart. Human society, said to be a country governed by the rule of law, essentially requires people to implement no matter what system it is. It's just that the law accounts for different proportions under different systems. The higher the rule of law, the lower the level of public discontent. In general, it is essentially the same, one to see who has more money, and the other to see whose power is greater.

Zhou Yanru hesitated, but still waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister hasn't thought about it yet." "Zhu Cihong was a little disappointed, this first assistant has a good ability, but it is too grinding. Okay, I'll find someone else! As he spoke, his gaze turned to Lu Xiangsheng, and the old gentleman also shook his head: "The minister didn't think about it." "This is the truth, he really didn't think about it, and he is extremely entangled in his heart now. A traditional literati, you get him to accept this, it's hard. In fact, he saw the benefits inside, but more often than not, he saw the "disadvantages", what disadvantages? The people are not easy to manage! This logic is not surprising at all, even in the Celestial Empire of modern society, this logic still has a large proportion of existence. One: The word "Guan" has exhausted the poison of 2,000 years of human governance of society.

Zhu Cihong looked at Yang Tinglin, the old gentleman touched his head, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not good for the minister, I really don't know what to say." Shi Kefa on the side couldn't hold back, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Mr. Sihua did has the style of antiquity." ”

What is the wind of antiquity, what is the era of Yao Shunyu, it will still be the end of primitive communism, in fact, it is no longer it, otherwise where would the three emperors and five emperors come from? But according to some legends, that's how things were decided at that time. Everyone sat together and voted, around the fire. Well, it's productivity-dictated. As an aside, the children's shoes of the university really have to study Ma Zhe well, that thing is too powerful, even today, most things can be explained clearly by Ma Zhe.

When everyone heard this, they all felt that it made sense, but they all felt that it was inappropriate. How can this work, these people have to find trouble if they have nothing to do, they can't manage it, and they have to educate them. Give them this right now, how will they manage it in the future?

After listening to this, Zhu Cihong pondered carefully for a while before saying: "Can this method be used to deal with the case of raising people to stop horses a few days ago?" First of all, it is Mr. Sihua's meaning. Just such a sentence, a thunder exploded in everyone's minds. Including Jiang Fengyuan, the whole person is absolutely wrong. What kind of rhythm is this? This script is wrong! I am his political enemy, how can I let go of this opportunity to hit me hard? What's the conspiracy here?

When Jiang Fengyuan was still struggling, Zhu Cihong said again: "Mr. Sihua also said that everything should be resolved within the framework of the law as much as possible. I thought hard all night, and felt that Mr. had good intentions, but I didn't know what he meant. Please also teach me, where can this truth be explained? ”

There is no doubt that no one can explain it, and this is undoubtedly contrary to the current system, how can the power of the government be divided? Even if you are overseed, whether you are guilty or not, do you still want the people to be the masters? It's not funny at all. But everyone present, except for Jiang Fengyuan, couldn't find an angle to refute. It's simple, because it's just!

When the word "justice" came to everyone's mind, their expressions changed, and they even felt a little flustered. Why? Because of all the people present, who dares to guarantee that they can be fair in Chen Xie's position? The abuse of power by officials in the Ming Dynasty was simply everywhere.

Naturally, Zhu Cihong thought of "the rule of officials", could it be that Chen Xie had good intentions and was just for the rule of officials?

Chen Xie finally appeared, looked at the dead silence at the scene, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Saying that, he arched his hand towards Zhu Cihong: "I've seen Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's too late." Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said, "Don't get in the way, since Mr. is here, let's talk about it, why do you want to do this?" Chen Xie looked at the things in everyone's hands, nodded with a smile, and said, "It's very simple to talk about this matter, because it's fair." Is there anything more important than justice for officials? People are selfish, and as an official, they have power, and when exercising power, no one can guarantee that they are not selfish. Otherwise, how could so many officials in the Ming Dynasty who had read the books of sages come out with so many corrupt things? Since reading cannot solve the fundamental problem, then use laws and systems to restrict them and minimize the injustice brought about by rights. ”

It can be said that Chen Xie's words are in the hearts of others, and this is a whimsical idea. Especially Zhu Cihong, he almost screamed out. But the faces of the other ministers are not good-looking, and the power is in hand, who wants to be restricted? Chen Xie continued: "This time, Chen is just an attempt by you, and you may not be the best, and you still need to practice to verify it." (To be continued......)
