Chapter 161: The Wind

In the past, He Xi did things first and cultivated party henchmen, but it was just a incidental thing. After all, many times, it's impossible to do things without people around. Even if you promote industrialization, you need manpower. But this need for manpower is completely different from today's needs.

If it is said that He Xi was striving for perfection and seeking like-minded people before. Even students are cultivated. But now it's different, He Xi has to quickly pull up the momentum. Otherwise, it won't be able to hold up this scene. If you can't support this scene, you will soon be suppressed by others.

Looking at Xie Jin's appearance, it can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang's will is the direction of the imperial court. And the person who wants to take advantage of this good wind and send me to Qingyun is not just Xie Jin.

It's just that these people may not care about the new law, nor do they care about He Xi's knowledge.

only cares about the powerful official position, and He Xi really can't do without them. At this moment, He Xi felt the situation of Wang Anshi, and He Xi had only been operating in the Ming Dynasty for a few years. And Wang Anshi has been looking at the world for 30 years, and after coming to power, he knows that there are many people in the New Party who are unreliable. Wang Anshi could only hold on.

Because there is no new law for this group of people to support Wang Anshi, it is not enough at all.

And now He Xi is the same, but He Xi is a little better than Wang Anshi, because Zhu Yuanzhang is not Song Shenzong.

But what should be prepared is also to be prepared.

This is actually what Yao Guangxiao is worried about, Zhu Yuanzhang asked He Xi to serve as the standard-bearer of the change, which is a crisis and an opportunity for He Xi. There are times when He Xi hasn't thought about it yet. But Yao Guangxiao had already thought that He Xi's official position would definitely have a great improvement.

Otherwise, it will not be enough to support this burden.

He was worried that He Xi would be carried away by the sudden ascension to a high position. Seeing that He Xi still limited the matter of changing the law to the land of Liaodong. This kind of caution is much more reassuring. Just a little bit of a reminder.

He Xi said: "Things in Liaodong are very easy to handle. ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "The matter of changing the law of Yi Daming is also very easy to do, and the biggest problem in this matter should be the Hanlin Academy." ”

He Xi's heart moved, and said, "You said it's Liu Sanwu?" ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Exactly. Leave the rest of the matter aside. The biggest obstacle this time should be this person. ”

He Xi touched his beard and said secretly in his heart: "This old man is not easy to deal with." ”

——

As soon as this matter was confirmed, the news came out quickly.

After all, there is no need to keep this matter secret, and the Daming Law is the most fundamental legal document of the Ming Dynasty, and the change of the Daming Law cannot have any private teaching, and it must be above board. In this case, there is no need for secrecy.

Not to mention, after Xie Jin returned, he immediately began to take action, and made strong criticisms of things such as the cruelty of the people and the harm to the people, the cannibalism of rituals, the small matter of starvation, and the big matter of fame and festivals. put forward the views that heaven is good for life, and the people are the most important, and said that Confucius said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, this benevolence and righteousness, Confucius and Mencius took it themselves. Today, with my kindness and righteousness, I will save the hearts of others. A must-take. In my way, so that others will be martyred, so, the prosperity of the benevolence of the three emperors and five emperors, I admire it to the fullest, and I can be taught, although there is no regret in death, in this way, I can make him follow the three emperors and five emperors in the underground on my behalf, in order to show the sincerity of my worship of the Tao. The son said, do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself.

Of course, Ding Xian also responded. Ding Xianwen's writing is reasonable, not under Xie Jin. It's the kind of thing that no matter whether it's positive or negative, as long as you get the issue, you can spray flowers.

He coped with them one by one and did not fall behind.

But he had clearly sensed that something was wrong.

It's just that he doesn't know what's changed at the moment.

After Fang Xiaoru and others invited Ding Xian over, Ding Xian knew what had happened.

Of course, Fang Xiaoru didn't know much. Only a few words from the prince. The prince didn't say much, but just mentioned Fang Xiaoru that His Majesty wants to rebuild the Da Ming Law and prepare to order He Xi to preside over this matter.

But in just one sentence, people like Fang Xiaoru can already sniff out a lot of clues from it.

Now the people who can be in Fang Xiaoru's circle are not ordinary people. Among them, the lowest status is Ding Xian. It's just that Ding Xian has a lot of influence outside. There is only one place here. Although Confucianism was slow to accept some new things. But as a politician in the maelstrom of power. It is necessary to be sensitive to the struggle. The mouthpiece of the newspaper has become a key link in the power struggle. Because a lot of times, there are very few backbones in each faction. It is the silent majority that really determines the development of history.

It is exactly what Mencius said, there is much help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust. And the newspaper is a sharp weapon for propaganda, and naturally it is also an artifact in the power struggle.

Ding Xian said: "My lords, the Great Ming Law is hand-made by His Majesty. Inheriting the laws of the Tang and Song dynasties, in addition to the increase in punishment, the inside is in the same vein. There's nothing to change about it. Will this be Your Majesty, revise the meaning of sentencing. ”

Fang Xiaoru shook his head and said, "No, a few days ago, in the usury case of the Xi family in Jiangsu, His Majesty hooked more than 100 people. There is no intention of being gracious. If Your Majesty really wants to be gracious, it will not be without warning until then. And the person who presides over this matter will not be He Xi. It's because it's the crown prince. ”

As soon as these words came out, the following nodded one after another.

The Da Ming Law is actually very perfect, and it is a representative of the Chinese legal system, and the Da Qing Law is actually revised and modified on the Da Ming Law. The only issue is the sentencing. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang used the chaotic times as an excuse to use heavy canons, and the sentence of the Ming Law was generally heavier than that of the Tang Law, especially in some moral crimes, adultery, red apricots out of the wall, or sibling disputes, and so on. There are significant aggravations of these charges.

The so-called dirty Tang stinky man, the Tang Dynasty didn't care much about the peachy things of men and women. But here in the Ming Dynasty, it evolved into this. Naturally, it is because of the dominance and influence of science.

Of course, the commutation of the sentence they want to talk about here is not the reduction of these sentences. It's about officials, such as how many taels of embezzlement are punished, how many taels are killed, and how many taels are stripped of skin and grass. Embezzling sixty taels and then peeling the skin and filling the grass is simply terrible.

This is just a typical example, Zhu Yuanzhang not only re-governs the people, but also re-governs the officials. He fully showed the world one thing, the three-legged toad is not easy to find. Two-legged people who want to be officials are easy to find.

Officials all over the world have opinions on the Da Ming Law.

Even if these clear streams are relatively incorruptible. But no one is like working under such high pressure. If you don't have news, you will go to court with shackles, and if you are careful, you will go to prison, and the treatment is meager. Some people even exaggerated to the point that they didn't know if they could come back at night when they said goodbye to their wives.

It seems that every morning they touch their heads and ask, is my head still there?

It's just that they also know that the sentencing of the Daming Law is a matter of grace to the officials of the world, and the kindness comes from above, this kind of obviously good person and popular thing is naturally done by the prince, how can a mere courtier compare with the prince.

It is normal for the prince to hold this prestige in his hands, and if He Xi holds this prestige in his hands, it will be a curse or a blessing.

Liu Sanwu sighed and said, "What should come is coming after all." His Majesty's mind changed a few years ago, and it has been a long time since he started to do it. Even I feel that this one thing is not His Majesty's character. It's just that His Majesty has always been resolute. But it has been many years since He Xi entered the Guozijian. Can make His Majesty endure for so long. Thinking about something for such a long time must be a big deal. It's just that this great event will definitely be detrimental to sacred learning. ”

A few years ago, Song Ne and He Xi had a fight in Guozijian, which was a superficial taste. Song Ne died, and Liu Sanwu was sent down to walk around. In fact, at that time, Liu Sanwu had a premonition in his heart. He Xi is under the cultivation of His Majesty, and one day, he will stand in front of them again.

It's just that he didn't expect that this day would finally come.

It's hard to even say, it's fast or slow.

Although the law of the Ming Dynasty is a law, although the punishment is too heavy, the overall core inland river is scientific. It's impossible for them to give up. If this can be given up, then what can not be given up.

But is it okay not to give up?

Liu Sanwu couldn't help but think of Song Ne, and he secretly said in his heart: "Brother Song, what are you going to do here?" ”
