Chapter 143:-for-tat
Lan Yaoka said this at this moment, it was really too shocking, and everyone present showed a look of shock on their faces, and a faint shock appeared in their hearts.
But at this time, such a decision seems very timely, after all, this matter is about whether to pardon Prime Minister Qi Yuming.
If Qi Yuming took the lead in opposing it, wouldn't he put himself in danger?
This time it was to make him dumb and eat Coptis - I can't tell if I have any bitterness!
"It is said that the disaster will not affect the family, and today I almost affected the prime minister of the dynasty because of the heinous crimes committed by Qi Tiancheng, and almost made me declare that I lost the pillars of the country, not to mention those innocent people who suffered unjustified disasters due to the sins of their relatives, and when they encounter this kind of thing, I am afraid that they will lose their lives in vain without refuting it?"
Lan Yao stood on the high platform, her eyes were scorching, and her voice was full of power:
"In the past, I thought that strict torture laws could govern the country and secure the country, but in fact, harsh punishments will only expand and aggravate crimes, and this move can only be used for a while and cannot last, and what really brings the hearts of all the people in the world is actually the implementation of benevolent government."
"The law is also designed to protect my people, naturally it must be people-oriented, blindly relying on the harsh criminal law to deter, it will only backfire, and over time, the people's resentment will boil, the unbearable people will rise up and rebel, and the country will fall apart in an instant."
Lan Yao's words were very far-sighted, and everyone was even more surprised when they heard it.
When did their Majesty the Empress, who was not well-versed in literature and ink, have such talent and foresight.
Every word of this word is well-founded and brilliantly written, which makes people unable to find the slightest fault, and after listening to it, they can't help but rise up to agree.
King Jing Ning Yi has always lived in a simple house since he was injured, and this time he re-entered the court with the whip in his hand, which can be said to be the focus of the recent moment, when everyone was silent, he changed his normal state and said:
"What Your Majesty said is very true, the minister thinks so, Your Majesty can have this heart, and I declare that the future can be expected!"
Ning Yi got Lan Yao's sincerity, and now that he heard this, he naturally agreed, and immediately expressed his thoughts in front of the ministers.
With this echo, soon some courtiers agreed with this remark, and even complimented Lan Yao, who took office.
On the other side, Qi Yuming looked at Lan Yao, who held the overall situation of the court in the palm of his hand without much effort, and while he was surprised, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his eyes, and a touch of jealousy appeared on his face.
After listening to Lan Yao's high-minded talk and watching the situation reverse, he secretly decided-
In any case, Her Majesty the Empress, who is indistinguishable from the truth, must not be allowed to continue to create variables.
Time is running out, if he can't do anything, it won't be long before this once notorious female tyrant will become the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty praised by everyone.
When the time comes, it will be impossible for him to replace her in the name of justice.
Moreover, with her courage and strategy now, she should not be able to tolerate him, if not, how could she kill Ziyang with a sword without scruples that day?
The game between them has already reached the point of white heat, and if you retreat, you will never recover, and you may be able to gamble once!
Lan Yao didn't know what Qi Yuming's old guy thought, but she already had an overall plan for changing the current situation of Daxuan, and every step was going smoothly so far.
Seeing that the time was ripe for this step to be implemented, she quickly added in a dignified voice:
"Therefore, today I not only want to abolish the crime of Zhulian, but also abolish the harsh punishments, such as beheading, Ling Chi, cannon branding, bone dismantling, skinning and other punishments that are contrary to human ethics and miserable, are all forbidden, and I will severely punish those who violate them."
"There is a way that the prince violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people, from today onwards, I will declare the rule of law!"
"I will personally select talents to revise and improve the law, formulate a yuan code, unify laws and regulations, set up ladder sentencing, educate and help those who commit minor crimes, and severely crack down on those who commit serious crimes, and strive to ensure that I can not close my door at night and leave no roads behind, so as to truly ensure the peace of the country and the people!"
As soon as these words came out, although the civil and military officials felt that something was wrong, they did not raise any further objections.
Of course, Lan Yao's caution, as long as she has a little brain, she can understand it.
But it is precisely because of this that no one dares to openly stand up against it, although Qi Yuming and his party do not agree but cannot refute it, Ning Yi's faction unconditionally approves of such benevolent deeds, and as for Feng Yan's people, under his instruction, they have become absolute supporters of Her Majesty the Empress.
"It seems that you don't have any opinions?"
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Lan Yao symbolically asked for an opinion, and everyone looked at each other, and sure enough, no one objected.
"In this case, the joint criminal department of Dali Temple will first select outstanding talents according to my intentions, set up a special work class, and draw up relevant regulations, I will give you three days, I hope you will not let me down."
The person in charge of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple has been anxious about the things behind Qi Tiancheng's involvement these days, and this time there is another wave of difficult tasks, and the head is big, and he has to make a smirk and do the next drudgery.
Seeing that the plan had been accomplished, Lan Yao immediately felt happy in her heart, thought about it again in her heart, explained some things that were not too important, and prepared to retreat from the dynasty.
But what she never expected was that when she was calculating the other party to exercise her power as Her Majesty, the other party was also planning to make her unable to step down.
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!" The voice of the chief manager of Ouchi sounded soon after receiving Lan Yao's signal.
Lan Yao and this group of ministers who already had a little courage were holding a meeting here, they were really physically and mentally exhausted, seeing that the meeting had been going on for two hours, she was ready to end after asking questions in every detail.
But at this time, Qi Yuming, an old immortal guy, jumped out and questioned:
"Your Majesty, the use of public examinations in Selangor to select talents is really absurd, all dynasties, officials are selected from famous families, the first emperor was also the same when he was alive, the nine-product Zhongzheng system also provided a steady stream of talent support for my Daxuan, how can it be abolished?"
Qi Yuming's words were full of anger, obviously preparing to compete with Her Majesty the Empress in this matter.
Lan Yao expected that her move would not be easily promoted, but she didn't expect that it was Qi Yuming, who had already reined in a lot, who took the lead in opposing it in such a timely manner.
Before she could speak, Qi Yuming, who had already prepared her words, once again issued a menacing objection.
"His Majesty did not cooperate with the six ministries to discuss and decide on the public examination, such decisions do not conform to the rules and procedures, this is a great disrespect to abandon the laws of the ancestors, this order will not only disrupt the order, block the advancement of the family, but also let the subordinates transgress the way of defeat and defeat, once this precedent, I will declare the danger!"
