Chapter 199: Formulating Punishments and Warning with the Law
"Brother Qingyan, my uncle has a lot of talents, you junior brothers have no problem with anything, you can do anything, you have to recommend a suitable person to help us formulate the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
"No one was chosen."
"Holy. Brother Qingyan, if you are like this, I will go to my uncle to complain. ”
"Can you not keep thinking about complaining? That's what kids do! ”
"I don't, if you don't help me, I'll sue."
"Where are you going to ask me to find the right person?"
"You just just find a senior brother, isn't it just a matter of holding a handle to do this?"
Fan Qingyan fell into deep thought, which senior brother to find to be the culprit of this injustice.
After thinking about it, a figure holding a bamboo slip appeared in his mind.
Ye Xiao!
Senior Brother Ye likes to study the laws of various countries, and always shouts that Qin's laws are too strict, and when he was not under the door of Fang Changge, he studied under the door of the Fa family for a period of time, so he has a deep relationship with the Fa.
"Brother Chengzhou, I have a suitable candidate - Ye Xiao, he has studied the laws of various countries, and you will definitely be able to bring you a good law if you go to him."
"Let's go!"
Fan Qingyan and the tomahawk were confused.
"Where are you going?"
"Find Ye Xiao and see if he is as you said, if you lie to me, you will die, I will definitely sue!"
Fan Qingyan: "......"
Tomahawk: "Hahahaha!" ”
.....
The group came to Ye Xiao's door. Fan Qingyan stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Senior Brother Ye. Open the door, I've got something good to do with you! ”
The door opened, and everyone was greeted by a young man in a robe, who saw Fan Qingyan followed by Li Chengzhou and an unknown strong man.
Ye Xiao knelt down.
"Your Majesty's visit to the Humble House is the splendor of Pengsheng, and the people of the grass have not greeted it."
Li Chengzhou stepped forward to help Ye Xiao, who was about to kneel, up.
"Mr. Ye doesn't have to be polite, the bad habit of kneeling should have been abolished a long time ago."
Ye Xiao invited a few people into the room.
Li Chengzhou couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Ye Xiao's room was clean.
"It's still your scholar's room clean, it's like our rough man's room is messy."
Fan Qingyan on the side couldn't sit still.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, I'm also a scholar."
"Just you? The room was messier than Tomahawk's. ”
The old Tomahawk blushed: "I was like this when I was in the tribe before, it was too neat and I didn't fit in." ”
A few people sat down.
"Your Majesty came to the Humble House, I don't know what to advise."
"I'm here this time just to ask my husband to come out of the mountain."
Ye Xiao was silent for a moment.
"Your Majesty, if you want me to be the county order, please excuse me, I really don't like to be constrained by rules and regulations, I just want to live freely."
"I really want to ask you to do things in the imperial court this time, but I don't want you to be a county magistrate."
"Oh? So you want me to go? ”
"To formulate the law, Datang needs a reasonable legal system to restrain the behavior of the people, here the people's wisdom has just opened, everything is not yet mature, morality, bottom line, etiquette, and even quality need such a law to restrain and make it shape."
Ye Xiao was also a little confused, what is this? Happiness to pry the door? I had such an idea when I was in Daqin before, and the laws of various countries were very flawed.
They don't have an outstanding law, and even in Ye Xiao's opinion, they are even worse than anyone else.
Among them, the law of Daqin was the worst, but it was the most suitable for the environment at that time.
Ye Xiao persuaded the head of the house several times to meet the first emperor and persuade him to revise the law, otherwise the empire would collapse sooner or later.
Fang Changge knew that his attainments in the law were not as good as Ye Xiao, and he also took Ye Xiao to the palace to see the First Emperor, but the First Emperor was already in a dilemma, relying on the harsh laws could indeed make the empire stronger, but what did the powerful Qin State have to do with the people at the bottom?
The harsh law will lose the people, but if the harsh Qin law does not oppress the people, who will drive the Xiongnu in the north? Who will build the Great Wall of Biansai? Who will educate Baiyue in the south? Who will suppress the nobles of the six countries in Guannai?
In short, the decaying empire has reached the end of its rope, and the first emperor did not embarrass the two masters and apprentices, nor did he adopt Ye Xiao's opinion.
Ye Xiao also understood the true appearance of this empire, and since then he has concentrated on learning with Fang Changge.
Now when he heard Li Chengzhou invite him to formulate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he became a little demented for a while.
Fan Qingyan saw that Ye Xiao suddenly became demented, so he shouted a few times.
"Senior Brother Ye! Senior Brother Ye? What happened to you? ”
Ye Xiao shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm fine, what you just said is true, Your Majesty?" ”
"Of course it's true, you don't joke!"
Ye Xiao's eyes were firm.
"I helped Datang formulate laws, but I was only a shallow learner, so I was afraid that I would make a joke when the time came."
From the first time Li Chengzhou saw Ye Xiao, he could feel that Ye Xiao was a person with real talent and learning, and the atmosphere had already been set here, how could he let Ye Xiao run away?
"No way, if you can't make good laws, then there won't be a second person in this country who can make laws."
"If anyone can make a good law, it must be you!"
In the face of Li Chengzhou's compliments, Ye Xiao was extremely useful.
"Your Majesty, I will begin to formulate the law now, and I will have a draft for you to read in a month."
Li Chengzhou shook his head, and Ye Xiao was very puzzled.
"Your Majesty, is this too slow? Twenty days at the earliest, and I have to sort out the manuscript. ”
"No, Sir misunderstood, I'm just worried that this is too tiring, I have here a law that should be in your eyes, Sir can revise it on it, so that we can avoid too many mistakes, and we can make it within a reasonable range?"
If it was someone else, Ye Xiao would think that this was distrusting him, but Ye Xiao remembered that Li Chengzhou could always come up with strange books before, and he also wanted to see if this book could get into his eyes.
"Yes, I'll take a look."
"I don't have the book with me for a while, I'll have the soldiers deliver it later. But now there's one more thing. ”
Li Chengzhou told Ye Xiao about the smuggling of iron weapons, hoping that he could come up with a reasonable way to deal with the arrested people, of course, this is also a test for Ye Xiao, after this test, Li Chengzhou can rest assured that the matter of formulating the law will be handed over to him.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely come up with a reasonable way to deal with these people, but I still have to give me a little time, and I will go to you when I think about it."
"Good! Then we won't bother Mr. ”
Li Chengzhou and the three got up to say goodbye.
"Brother Chengzhou is now becoming more and more proficient in buying people's hearts!"
"Do I have one?"
"Yes!"
