Chapter 177: The Fire Has Arrived

At this point, it's actually pretty clear.

Under the authority of Zhu Yuanzhang, Daming did not allow a second voice, and if there was, it was the voice of a dead man.

And Liu Sanwu wants to be this dead man.

Liu Sanwu played the imperial court again and again, and even spoke in the official newspaper to criticize the new law.

For a time, the city of Nanjing was lively.

------

He Xi works in the inner hall, and he, a university scholar, is only responsible for revising the Da Ming Law. And at this moment, all aspects of the situation are summarized here. He Xi silently calculated, the heat was almost over.

Not to mention, there are Xie Jin and Ding Xian, the warm-up and conflict in the past year, and Zhu Yuanzhang in charge, He Xi seems that public opinion has reached its peak and cannot wait any longer.

He Xi got up and walked through the long corridor, and came to the outside of the Qianqing Palace, please sign up.

Zhu Yuanzhang met with He Xi.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "How are you ready." ”

He Xi said: "It's ready." Simmer step by step. It's not good to be fast. Now the government and the opposition have reached a consensus on the matter of revising the Daming Law. It's time to move on to the next step. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I have been ready for a long time. ”

Immediately, a holy decree came out, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave it to the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch took out the jade seal and covered it.

Carefully put away the holy decree and handed it to He Xi.

He Xi saw that this holy decree was nothing else. The core is one sentence, ten days later, all the officials above the third grade will be present to discuss the revision of the Daming Law.

It's nonsense, it's process.

And this canonical decree is a moment. The next step begins.

------

Ten days in the snap of a finger.

He Xi tidied up the official mansion at home, with a red official robe, black official boots, and a black gauze hat. It's extraordinary. Now He Xi is not the original He Xi at all. It's not like you can't hold up this outfit. It is important to know that clothes are only a specific performance, and many details and habits of life behind him are represented.

Many people are not used to wearing suits, some people are not used to wearing Hanfu, or other styles of clothes, and the figure may be one of the reasons, but more because they do not adapt to the living habits covered behind the clothes.

For example, this official robe, unless you stand still, you must always pay attention to when you want to lift the corner of your clothes and take square steps, otherwise the temperament of the whole person will not match, and there is a feeling of being crowned by a monkey.

These things don't need to be taught. Wearing this kind of clothes since childhood, I am naturally used to it.

When He Xi just arrived in Daming, there were actually a lot of people who were not used to it.

But now, He Xi doesn't seem to be any different from the ancients.

He Xi looked at himself in the bronze mirror and took a deep breath. Although he knew that this court meeting would not be a problem. But there is still pressure in my heart. I secretly prayed in my heart that I didn't want to make any trouble.

He Mansion was very close to the Imperial City, and He Xi rode his horse very quickly, just before the Imperial City.

At this moment, the imperial city has opened its doors. Countless officials entered the Forbidden City after checking their waist cards.

He Xi was also about to enter, and suddenly a person stopped He Xi and said, "Lord He, long time no see?" ”

He Xi looked at the visitor, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Meet Haixihou." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." This man was none other than Nahachu.

Naha is out of the city of Nanjing, but he is just a rich idler. However, Naha's eldest son, Chahan, is on an errand in the East Palace at the moment. It can be said that a considerable part of their family's future future is in the hands of the crown prince.

There are some things that have to be done.

He Xi said: "Hai Xihou, this is ------"

Naha said: "Please also ask Lord He to move, Xiaohou has a few words to say to Lord He." ”

Anyway, He Xi has a good relationship with Naha's second son. Harbour doesn't spend it, and it can be regarded as He Xi's old department. Naturally, it is necessary to give a little face. He Xi said, "Please." Wave your hand and move away from the crowd. The two of them came one after the other to the palace wall.

The bright red palace wall is like a backdrop for a photo studio. Engrave the figures of the two on it.

Naha said, "Lord He, the prince wants to ask your subordinates to be merciful. ”

He Xi was silent. Didn't speak, didn't say, didn't say, didn't say yes.

Nahachu could only continue; "The prince said that Old Master Liu is old. Confused. But in the end, it is a master of science, a generation of grandmasters. The imperial court always has to give something decent. Therefore, please also ask Lord He to give some face and leave some leeway. It is better not to repeat the matter of Mr. Song Ne. That's not a good thing for anyone. ”

He Xi thought for a moment in his heart.

Thinking of Song Ne's death, He Xi actually had some sighs in his heart.

Song Ne died. He Xi can bring some of the learning of craftsmen and the learning of nature to the table. He Xi never regretted this. But not regretting and not regretting are two different things. I am used to seeing scum in this world, who have no bottom line and are mercenary. It is difficult to feel disgust, or hatred, for people who are willing to fight for their ideals all their lives, or even give their lives.

Song Ne is such a person, and today's Liu Sanwu is also such a person.

What He Xi wanted was never to physically eliminate a certain person, but to update and iterate his thoughts. Although He Xi has ideals in his heart, he is not an idealist in his heart. He knew that the change of human thinking and concepts, in most cases, is not to see the new ideas triumph over the old ideas, but to wait for the old ideas to die. Naturally, new ideas will prevail.

Therefore, He Xi does not have the luxury of expecting that in this bloodless war, there is really no blood at all.

He didn't have to force Liu Sanwu to die.

It's just that he feels that the prince's mind is very dangerous.

Compassion and generosity are not disadvantages, or even strengths. But the kindness of a woman is.

And from these words, He Xi also felt some tendencies of the prince.

He Xi said: "Hai Xihou, I had no intention of killing anyone. There is only one person in the world who can kill on this occasion. That's Your Majesty. It's just that I also admire the old master's character and learning. Today is just a battle of learning, not a battle of life and death. ”

"It's just that if there was an accident, I couldn't control it. I naturally remembered His Highness's words. The rest depends on the situation. ”

Naha breathed a sigh of relief. said: "I'll call the prince back." Leave. ”

To be honest, Naha is not actually coming out at this time. But the ideas of the officials of the Ming Dynasty are similar to those of Nahachu. I don't want to wade into troubled waters, and I don't want to get involved in such storms. It's just that many things can't help him.

What does the prince want him to do, can Nahachu refuse?

And the reason why the prince asked Naha to spread the word is that he knows that Naha has a shallow foundation in the Ming Dynasty, and it can be said that he has no foundation, so don't look at what marquis or lord. There were also private soldiers in Goryeo. But compared with other nobles of the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally far from comparable.

They didn't have the confidence to refuse the prince.

Moreover, Naha is cautious and has the least relations with others, while Chahan is under the command of the crown prince. Don't worry, Naha will mess around. After all, Naha is only a promise, but in fact, the Mu Huali family has played some big and small roles in the repeated civil strife of the Yuan Dynasty.

As far as the political sense is concerned, there is no longer any Ming official who knows what to do about this matter.

Also cautioned by smokers.

He came in a hurry, hurried away. It's like a ripple of water, seeing that no one notices, and he lies flat again.

------

"Your Highness." Chahan was dressed in extremely delicate armor and covered in scarlet. Between the actions, the armor is sonorous and powerful. He bowed half-kneeling and said, "My father has sent news that he has been informed. Lord He also replied. ”

The prince said indifferently: "Say." ”

Chahan said: "Lord He said: He has no intention of killing, and only His Majesty can have the power of life and death at this time." He could only do his best. ”

The prince sighed, waved his hand and said, "Go down." I don't want anyone else to know about this today. ”

Chahan immediately agreed and slowly retreated.

The prince actually persuaded Liu Sanwu several times, but each time he was opposed by Liu Sanwu. And every time Liu Sanwu objected, it brought a deep shock to the prince.

Much of the modern scientific knowledge that the prince learned was devoured. Just look at the results. After all, a lot of things require mathematical skills. Don't talk about science. Even the humanities require a lot of calculations in many cases. Without these, many people are very incomprehensible.

But Liu Sanwu is different, the prince also studied Confucianism since he was a child. With Liu Sanwu's roots, many things don't need to be explained, he understands.

Under Liu Sanwu's explanation, the prince had a deeper understanding of what Zhu Yuanzhang and He Xi were going to do?

I also understand better what kind of resistance will be encountered in doing so.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the world is against it.

The Ming Dynasty system is the most stable and stable. Any change is made up of risk, and the more finely managed, the greater the risk. In fact, He Xi's change can also be understood in another way, that is, the change in the relationship between the central and local governments.

Previously, the Ming Dynasty left a large amount of financial surplus in the local area, which was divided among the gentry, officials, and officials. The amount of tax collected is estimated to be two to three times the amount reported to the imperial court, or even more.

After the change, Daming wants to hand over every penny of financial rights, not to mention the huge administrative costs, and the backlash of these gray vested interests alone is quite serious.

The problem of a county does not fight. But a prefecture, a province, and even the world, that is a raging fire.

And Liu Sanwu knows that there are too few law change projects, while the prince knows even more. He understands better, what is it like for Zhu Yuanzhang and He Xi to do? It's a different thing.

As soon as he thought of this, the prince was under a lot of pressure, and he felt even more sorry for Liu Sanwu. wants to protect Fang Xiaoru and Liu Sanwu, but now it seems that there is no hope for this matter.

The prince secretly said in his heart: "Wait a while and see if there is any other way." ”

Unconsciously, some of Liu Sanwu's words have penetrated into the heart of the prince. Wait for the right moment and set things right. The prince didn't feel that he was opposing the change, but he didn't think he should do it.
