In the Taiji Palace, Cao Chao was teaching the prince in front of him with his heart.

After such a period of teaching, the prince's studies have finally improved.

Cao Chao no longer purely taught him to read and write, but also began to tell some historical facts, Cao Chao has always felt that learning history makes people wise.

The prince always listened to these as stories, but the more he listened, the more he could pull out something.

Although it is not as good as those excellent disciples in the family who are said to be proficient in the classics before the age of ten, who can be proficient in the classics at the age of more than ten years, and who can have a lot of natural magic before the age of twenty, Cao Chao is still relatively satisfied with the prince.

At the end of the day's lessons, Cao Wen bowed respectfully to Cao Chao before turning around and leaving.

Cao Chao walked out of the West Hall, got into the carriage, and left the Taiji Hall with Zhang Hua.

Cao Chao's itinerary today is relatively full.

The first destination was the Penal Department.

Of course, I went to the Criminal Department not to watch Wei Shu judge the rest of the people, but for the matter of "New Law".

Wei Shu is one of the few important ministers who let Cao Chao not have to worry about it, although this person doesn't talk much, and he is also very low-key on weekdays, but in all important things, there is almost no situation of dropping the chain.

He's exceptionally reliable and reassuring.

Since he served as the secretary of the criminal department, Cao Chao has not been so worried about things like lawsuits.

Wei Shu handled it very well, including the previous Qinghe County incident, Wei Shu's investigation speed was even faster than that of the pawn's office, and he quickly arrested the relevant criminals, the evidence was sufficient, and they were sentenced.

With Wei Shu's credit, it is actually possible to go further.

Zheng Yuan will soon be retiring.

Zheng Hao's health has not been very good recently, although Cao Chao is very reluctant to use this humanoid recognizer, but he still has to pay attention to the other party's physical condition.

It can't be said that if you find someone, you will use it to death, although Zheng Yuan is really good to use.

If it is to make a game, Zheng Yuan will definitely have a "people-recognizing" skill, and so far, none of the people he has recommended have overturned.

It's a pity that he is getting older and older, and he is becoming more and more powerless about Shangshutai's affairs.

During these days, Zheng Hao was often sick, and Cao Chao sent a few imperial doctors to visit him.

This servant was afraid that he was going to rest, and Cao Chao was going to give him a Situ as an honorary official, and then let him rest at home.

As for the candidate to replace him, what Cao Chao is thinking about at the moment is Wei Shu.

Lu Zhi is actually not bad, but considering the many important things he is doing now, there is no one to replace him in the short term, and Wei Shu has a lot of credit, and at the same time, he is his old confidant in the past, whether it is age or seniority, he is absolutely up to standard.

Not long ago, Wei Shu played and talked to Cao Chao about a very important matter.

That is, the problem of the new law.

The so-called new law is not the law compiled by Cao Chao, but the law of Wei compiled by the emperor, which is called the "New Law".

During the Cao Cao period, the temple thought that the Han law was too light, and hoped to restore corporal punishment and use cruel criminal law to deter, and the proposer was Xun Yu.

But this idea has been opposed by many people, and the strongest opposition is Kong Rong.

When it came to the founding of the country, Cao Pi had similar ideas, but he also encountered great opposition at home.

By the time of Emperor Ming, the Great Wei was still using the laws of the Han Dynasty.

But since Xiao He's beginning, the laws of the two Han Dynasty have undergone countless revisions and annotations, and by the time Emperor Ming came, it was extremely cumbersome and extremely chaotic, that is, for the same crime, there were many kinds of punishments, and what kind of punishment to use depends entirely on the thoughts of the judge.

The debate over whether or not to reinstate corporal punishment also continues at this time.

Until, this year, a big event happened.

There were two minor officials who took advantage of the loopholes in the law to their own advantage, and as a result, they were stabbed to Emperor Ming.

Cao Rong's character, of course, was unacceptable, so at that time, there was another important minister who wrote a letter, hoping to resume corporal punishment, and this important minister was Zhong Xuan.

Later, Emperor Ming ordered the law to be changed, and there was a new law used today.

It is a little harsher than Han Law, but it is much simpler, and there are no longer different punishments for the same crime.

However, there is a very fatal problem with this new law.

When Cao Chao arrived at the Criminal Department, there were officials escorting people in and out, Cao Chao did not alarm these people, and walked quickly to the door of the study surrounded by the soldiers.

Before I could walk in, I heard a hearty laugh coming from inside.

"Not bad! Not bad! ”

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, and then walked into the study.

Sure enough, at this moment, Zhong Hui was sitting on the top seat, but Wei Shu stood aside, as if Zhong Hui was the master of the criminal department, he held the document in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing someone breaking in, Zhong Hui subconsciously wanted to abuse, but when he found out that it was the emperor, he hurriedly stood up.

The two of them went together to meet Cao Chao.

"Why is Shiji here?"

Zhong Hui shook his head.

"After accompanying Na Lu Kang to finish the play, let's listen to Wei Shangshu's thoughts"

"Your Majesty, as soon as I come forward like this, the matter of Lu Kang is much easier!"

Cao Chao said very interestingly: "If Lu Youjie's matter can be done, it must be due to Shiji!" ”

Cao Chao sat on the top seat, and Wei Shu and Zhong Hui were on the left and right.

Cao Chao picked up the paperwork that Zhong Hui had just checked, and said to Wei Shu with a smile: "Shangshu is written so fast? ”

Wei Shuran replied, "I haven't finished writing yet." ”

Cao Chao looked at Zhong Hui, "What does Shi Ji think of this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, what Wei Shangshu said is extremely true, the new law is very harmful, and it must not be changed!!"

It turned out that just a few days ago, Wei Shu wrote to Cao Chao about the law, and if Wei Shu hadn't talked about it, Cao Chao wouldn't have found out.

Among the new laws of the Great Wei, there is a very important thing, the Eight Discussions.

What is this gossip? That is to say, in the current system of law, there are eight types of people who are privileged and must be dealt with lightly.

Well, don't think about it, these eight privileges don't refer to minors, the elderly, and pregnant women.

These eight discussions are the relatives of the emperor, that is, the relatives of the emperor's family, the emperor's old friends, the emperor's old friends, the virtuous, the virtuous, the virtuous, the people with outstanding ability, the meritorious people, the nobles, the diligent and hard-working people, the guests, the descendants of the former dynasty.

These eight types of people either need to be judged by the emperor himself, or they must be punished lightly.

In these days, Wei Shu has been forced to fall lightly many times.

These eight discussions are simply made for the big clan, who is noble? Who is the Emperor's friend? Who could be a relative of the emperor? Who can be moral? Who can take credit?

If you look at it, every word says "Privilege to avoid death"!

The Eight Deliberations are an old tradition of the Zhou Dynasty, so why was it suddenly written into the law?

The writers are Chen Qun, Liu Shao, Xun Xu, Yu Wei, then it's fine.

It's not just these privileges that are problematic, but there are also some other aspects, Wei Lu is upgraded on the basis of Han law, and the same crime has been changed, what kind of change?

To put it simply, crimes that tend to overturn the clan have become lighter, while crimes such as theft have become heavier

There are many places where there are problems.

And now what Cao Chao is holding in his hands are those places that Wei Shu thinks are problematic.

He made a series of annotations.

Zhong Hui said at this moment: "Not to mention the problems in the past, there are many new things to be added now, and the new law does not clearly stipulate how to judge the encroachment of cultivated land, but it stipulates how to cut down other people's trees to add a lot of content." ”

"By the way, there are so many commutation laws, which are really cumbersome, and I think the commutation laws can be abolished!!"

Wei Shu glanced at him, and then said: "Reducing the crime with money, this is a rule that existed in the Han Dynasty, if it is not a very serious crime, the punishment is reduced by paying money, I don't think there is anything inappropriate."

Cao Chao just calmly looked at the new law in his hand.

He felt that Da Wei needed a new law, and this new law was a bit too much because of the compiler

Not to mention anything else, it was just an eight discussions, which completely deviated from the law, and starting from Wei's new law, the eight discussions officially became part of the temple law.

If you want to govern the Great Wei well, Cao Chao feels that there must be a law suitable for the current national conditions.

After all, it is different from the beginning, not only have a lot of new things appeared, but the old things have also been suppressed by themselves.

Cao Chao looked at the two people in front of him.

Zhong Hui can be pulled into the whip writing list, but he can't be in charge.

His personality is too impatient.

But if someone else is in charge, Zhong Hui will definitely not be happy Cao Chao narrowed his eyes, and then slapped the watch in his hand on the case.

"Such a new law, I have to change it!"

Cao Chao frowned, and said angrily: "I will do this matter myself, and first gather the sages who understand the law, and let me keep an eye on it, so as to ensure that such a problem will not arise again!" ”

Zhong Hui and Wei Shu said yes together.

Zhong Hui is busier than Cao Chao, he is still preparing to go to the side of King Dongping at the moment, he wants to take a look at the fertilizer production process, to see if there is room for improvement.

Zhonghui has spread the formula of the fertilizer to various places, so that the county guards everywhere know its efficacy.

However, because of the high production cost and low efficiency, it is difficult to say how much this can play in the present.

It's always better than nothing anyway.

Zhong Hui was probably also aware of the need to improve productivity at this moment, and he was almost always running back and forth around Ma Jun and Cao Xi these days.

Recently, the Good Deeds Mansion has been making quicklime, and according to Cao Chao's proposal, it is burning stones, although even Ma Jun thinks that burning stones is a very unintelligent practice, but Cao Chao opened his mouth, and they are willing to give it a try.

Cao Chao is still thinking about drawing up a list of legal personnel at the moment, and this time, he must consider whether he can come up with a "new law" again.
