Kang Hua was dragged out, and no official in the Manchu Dynasty dared to stand up and plead for mercy, everyone knew that Jiajing Tianzi, who was now sitting on the throne, was brewing a volcano that could erupt at any time in his heart at this moment, and if it erupted, I don't know how many people would die without all the corpses.

It's ridiculous that Kang Hua can't even figure out the emperor's real intention of sending Zhang Xuan to kill the canal, except for stupidity, he can only say that he is innocent.

"I know that you Aiqing have a lot of complaints about Zhang Zhang's patrol of the river to investigate the corruption case, and even think that I let Zhang Zhang go on a killing spree is trampling on the law......

"The ministers don't dare."

"It doesn't matter if you dare or not." Zhu Houwei snorted coldly: "But I might as well tell you Aiqing that I didn't actually mean to interfere with judicial justice, but I still interfered, why?"

First, if I don't punish the canal officials with a thunderbolt, then leave it to the law department? What can be done?

It is inevitable to avoid the important and light, pass the buck, and protect each other, the Chinese nation is a nation that pays attention to human feelings, and there are countless things like ignoring the law for the sake of human favor in this world!

The fundamental reason for me to set up the Three Law Divisions in various states and counties is to govern the world with the law, as long as the Three Law Divisions can be managed well, there can be a little less favoritism, a little less human touch, I am happy to let go of power!

Second, I would like to ask you Aiqing, how many officials in the three law divisions of various states and counties and even in this capital really understand the law, not to mention anything else, just say that this Da Ming Law, how many officials can know it!

Is it ridiculous? It's really ridiculous, as an official of the legal department, I don't know the law, how do you make me believe that they can break the prison, so I plan to let the officials of the three legal divisions find an opportunity to take the examination in batches, and the law will be examined, and those who pass will be appointed, and the unqualified legal officials will be dismissed if they have no other political skills!

Of course, there is no place for those who want to continue to be officials, and now there is a big shortage of officials in Western Europe, and there is a need for a large number of Confucian scholars, as long as they are willing to emigrate, I can send them off!

Third, the laws of the Ming Dynasty still need to be improved, at least the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" alone is far from enough! Nowadays, Tongzhou scholars have been codifying laws for several years, such as the "Commercial Tax Law" and the "Criminal Law".

Codifying the code is not a day's work, perhaps the efforts of the poor generation and two generations are not enough, because the world is changing, today's law may not be applicable to thousands of generations, maybe it will be eliminated in decades and hundreds of years, and there is no fundamental law in this world, so those who study the law must know how to judge the world's cases according to the law and the times, and let the officials of the law department have the law to follow, but the officials of the law department must also learn to handle cases according to the law and judge cases according to the law! ”

"Ministers, remember Your Majesty's teachings!"

"You Aiqing also know that I don't like to engage in the punishment and extermination of the clan, so there are many differences between the "Criminal Law" and the "Daming Law" formulated by the Tongzhou Legal Affairs Office.

In the Criminal Code, migration will be eliminated, and in my opinion, the so-called exile of 3,000 li or exile of 10,000 miles will not make the slightest sense, and in the new law, it will be mainly murder and servitude.

Servitude is work, coolie labor, work without any remuneration, and like the slaves who were transferred back from Western Europe, the felons faced the most dangerous forms of labor, while the lighter offenders did relatively low-risk labor.

As for killing! Now the Tongzhou Law Department is amending the Criminal Law, in addition to the unforgivable crimes of treason, rebellion, etc., I have also personally drafted two crimes of killing!

First, those who say inappropriate remarks and blaspheme the heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country will not be pardoned and beheaded!

Second, those who abduct and sell women and children will not be pardoned, and they will destroy the three tribes! Whether it is the principal offender or the accomplice, Ling Chi! ”

The ministers in the palace are not surprised, when today's son in order to firmly control the army, all kinds of means can be said to be endless, in order to enhance the image of the soldier in the people is at all costs, he can make a big fuss in front of the martyr's shrine, take off the official hats of dozens of officials, and now this law is introduced, it is not surprising.

As for human traffickers, they are all mortal sins in the "Da Ming Law", and there is nothing new.

But no one expected that soon, a major case of human traffickers would explode the world.

"Manenur asking to see you?"

After the court meeting, Zhu Houwei returned to the imperial study to continue to deal with state affairs, but he didn't expect that the king of Portugal, who was almost forgotten by him, would take the initiative to ask for a meeting.

According to the Chinese tradition, after the powerful Central Plains Dynasty destroyed other countries in the process of unifying the world, either the monarchs of other countries would definitely die, or the imperial court would also show their grace, casually seal a title and raise it, for example, Liu Chan, the famous Shu queen in history, was canonized by Cao Pi as the Duke of Anle, as for the founding of the Song Dynasty, such examples are not uncommon.

But Zhu Houwei did not give Manenur a knighthood, and even to this day, only Gu Hou Shen Gengzhong was the only one who was knighted in the Jiajing Dynasty, and Zhu Houzhao could not be counted.

The reason why Shen Gengzhong was given a knighthood was because he brought back the seeds that the Ming Dynasty needed most, and with these seeds, the Jiajing Dynasty could vigorously develop the population, which was of great significance!

And even so, Gu Hou's title is not hereditary, for Zhu Houwei, there can be a privileged class in the Ming Dynasty, but there is no need for the aristocratic class, the continuation of the aristocratic class is the biggest constraint to the progress of social civilization!

There was a serious caste system in India in later generations, and the caste system was actually a disguised manifestation of the aristocracy, and for the lowest Dalits, the Brahmins were the nobility!

However, the Dalits also took the caste system for granted, as if the Brahmins were inherently noble and they should be inherently inferior, which was unimaginable at a time when later civilizations were already highly developed.

In the current Ming Dynasty, it is actually similar, the people at the bottom have been bullied by the nobles, and most of them will choose to swallow their anger, and those nobles who think they are superior think that they can also be counted as bullying the common people?

It should be the honor of the small people to rob the women of the people's houses to be their concubines, but sadly, many civilians actually think the same way......

So what Zhu Houwei needs to do is to reverse this situation!

He wants to eliminate all the noble classes on the surface in the Ming Dynasty in his lifetime!

Zhu Houzhao sent Manenur back to Daming, Zhu Houwei felt that this guy was purely trying to play bad fun with him, who asked him to send so many clan nobles to Western Europe to give him a headache......

Zhu Houzhao destroyed Portugal, and then killed those nobles, this guy's way to make money is so simple and direct, no money? Hell just grab it.

This guy didn't kill Manenur, but he also scraped three layers of ground in the Portuguese royal palace, at least when Manenur came to Daming, except for the intimate clothes and jewelry of the royal family, it was absolutely penniless......
