But if this new Da Ming law wants to implement, it is really difficult.

And it's really difficult! Infinite resistance!

Because this time, it is the real Ming officials who cut the flesh! It really touches the core interests of all officials!

It is different from the previous relocation of Haoqiang and the people's reclamation.

No matter how bitter it is, it is the suffering of the people.

No matter how difficult it is, it is still very difficult.

And not the officials of the Ming officialdom are difficult! So no one will really be bent on opposing Zhu Yunxi, let alone sincerely embarrassing Zhu Yunxi!

But now it's different!

This is Zhu Yunxi really using a knife to cut their flesh!

Whose rights are restricted by the Ming Law?

Exactly the right of all officials!

Zhu Yunxi wants to completely restrict the rights of officials in this clear code, and stipulate that things outside of their powers are not allowed!

Especially local officials.

Zhu Yunxi even demanded that the right of abuse of lynching by county-level officials in Daming be completely abolished, and everything must be reported to Dali Temple.

Verified by the Criminal Department again!

What is the difference between this for local officials and holding a knife around their neck?

To know.

Now the power of the Daming County Order is very great! Have the right to take life and death!

Although it must be reported to the imperial court, and even to the emperor, before the criminal can be beheaded.

But the following torture can directly kill people!

Many prisoners did not die in the place of beheading, but in prison!

The dark and damp prison does not know how many innocent people's lives have been buried!

After all, many of the people who are imprisoned are not really criminals, but ordinary people! Otherwise, all dynasties and dynasties would not have granted amnesty to the world often!

It is because there are so many innocent people who died in prison and lynching!

Isn't it obvious that lynchings will create countless unjust, false and wrongful cases? Zhu Yunxi naturally couldn't allow this outdated rule to continue to spread in the Ming Dynasty.

Strict punishment and strict law, absolutely not!

If you want to be executed, you can, report it to the court! Lynching must not be allowed!

But this order, for these officials.

But it's really going to die!

To put it bluntly, it's discretion.

For reasons of transportation and information, the magistrate must be given sufficient discretion.

But too much discretion inevitably leads to serious corruption.

Because officials can decide as much as they want, how can there be any reason not to be corrupt?

Human nature is like this!

Everyone in the government is accustomed to holding these rights in their hands, and now suddenly there is an official document, and these powers will be taken away and put in the central court.

How can this be accepted by the local officials of Daming?

Even some Qing officials have a lot of complaints about this, after all, reporting the prisoner's affairs to the imperial court is undoubtedly adding many procedures.

If the real prisoner is in front of him, he will not say anything.

Do you have to wait for the above to say before you can interrogate him?!

As for the officials in the court, although it seems that the power of the local government has been handed over to the court this time, in fact, it is a weakening of the power of all officials!

And Zhu Yunxi's appeal is more than that.

This is simply restricting all the officials to death! On the contrary, the freedom of the people has been magnified to a certain extent!

The road guidance system has been completely abolished, although this system has already existed in name only in today's Ming Dynasty.

Meantime.

The handling of cases is divided into two types: civil and criminal.

Some trivial matters are handed over to the people below to deal with, especially some original moral issues, and they cannot be allowed to be sentenced to death.

and raise the level of criminal cases.

As long as the situation is slightly serious, it will definitely attract the attention of the state capital above, and someone will be sent down from the state capital.

Assist the local government in handling the matter.

It is also in the concept of this Da Ming Law that a concept has been established, that is, the concept of putting the people of the world first!

Officially set human life and people's lives to the highest level!

Zhu Yunxi's purpose is to truly realize Lao Zhu's wish and let the people of the Ming Dynasty under the world really live a good life.

It's not just about food and clothing!

It is to let all the people of Daming live in a fair and just environment as much as possible!

Although this is too difficult for Da Ming.

It's impossible even for this world.

But Zhu Yunxi is still willing to work hard for this.

This is the real putting the people of the world in our hearts, and it is really for the sake of the Ming Dynasty!

It's just in this day and age.

It is impossible for Zhu Yunxi to pursue any absolute fairness and justice, but to achieve all the extremes that have been achieved so far.

Power is, after all, the essence of the court!

Absolute power is the pursuit of all officials! And the officials who are truly dedicated to the people are still a minority after all!

I want Daming to continue walking.

Officials must have enough power in their hands, otherwise Daming will immediately be in trouble, after all, all parts of Daming still need these officials to help manage.

So Zhu Yunxi's own mentality is also very contradictory.

It is necessary to reduce the power in the hands of officials, but not too much.

Otherwise, the local officials will not do it.

Although the Ming Dynasty will not disintegrate, it will inevitably fall into a period of suffering, waiting for new officials to fill in.

And Zhu Yunxi's complex and contradictory mentality.

Reflect to the Advisory Office.

It was instantly divided into two factions, one was resolutely opposed to Zhu Yunxi's reforms and wanted to continue to use the previous ideas of the Great Ming Law.

On the other hand, they advocate change, but they do not support Zhu Yunxi's large-scale changes on the basis of the original Ming Law.

On the whole, all officials tend to be conservative in this regard.

The law is the life and soul of a nation!

Don't tamper!

Even Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji, Yang Rong and others did not absolutely support Zhu Yunxi.

After all, this time.

There are too many things that Zhu Yunxi wants to move! It's too big!

Palace.

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the results of the deliberations of the ministers of the Advisory Office.

He looked very dissatisfied.

Many of his proposals were not only collectively rejected by the ministers of the Advisory Office, but also lectured by the superiors.

How can Zhu Yunxi not be angry?

How can you be satisfied?

But in the face of such a unified opinion of the ministers and hundreds of officials, Zhu Yunxi felt that he was powerless.

If only a few people oppose it.

Then Zhu Yunxi can still rely on his power as a prince to subdue everyone!

But now, almost all the officials are opposing, so just by virtue of Zhu Yunxi's own authority, even if he subdued hundreds of officials this time, but what about next time?

The dissatisfaction in the hearts of hundreds of officials will become more and more serious!

The efficiency of Daming Dynasty is greatly reduced! Now Daming is in a period of rapid development!

If all the officials of the Ming Dynasty are rotten.

Who will help Zhu Yunxi? If this matter is not dealt with properly, even if another group of officials are replaced, it will only be the same.

The most fundamental thing is to let these officials agree with themselves!

"Maybe this thing is ...... I'm afraid I still have to ask the emperor's grandfather's opinion. ”

Zhu Yunxi was worried.

I can't help but think of Lao Zhu, maybe Lao Zhu will have a way to do this.

After all, Lao Zhu's age as emperor is much older than his Zhu Yunxi!

Zhu Yunxi only needs to have something he doesn't understand.

Go to Lao Zhu to discuss, maybe it can be solved.

………

Daming Hospital.

Zhu Yunxi came directly to find Lao Zhu.

Ask the other person for advice on the matter.

After explaining the matter to Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunxi had a trace of struggle in his eyes for the first time.

asked: "Grandpa Huang, you say, did I really do something wrong, grandson?" ”

"Grandpa Huang asked me to put the common people in the world first, and my grandson did so, but don't these officials have a little bit of the people in their hearts?"

What made Zhu Yunxi most uncomfortable was not the opposition of hundreds of officials.

But even his favored confidants, Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji and others, also objected.

and also persuaded Zhu Yunxi in turn.

How can Zhu Yunxi accept this?

But after thinking about it, Zhu Yunxi still understood that Yang Shiqi and Xia Yuanji were not Yu Qian, the courtiers who really saved the great tomorrow and extended the life of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years!

In Yu Qian's heart, this world is not only the world of the Zhu family, but also the world of the people of the Ming Dynasty!

It was really in my heart that the position of the people of the Ming Dynasty was adjusted to the same height as the throne of the old Zhu family!

But in the hearts of Yang Shiqi and Xia Yuanji, this world is the world of the old Zhu family, and this world is also the world of hundreds of officials!

The emperor of the Zhu family, who was assisted by hundreds of officials, naturally had to divide power from the emperor.

Gain power.

Otherwise, why should officials defend the emperor? Why obey the Divine Will?

It's fundamentally different!

But how little Yu Qian is in the world? In this world, how can a character like Yu Qian be tolerated?!

The position of the emperor is the ultimate in selfishness!

Collect the power of the world in one!

Then divide the power among the hundred officials, and let the hundred officials supervise the world for themselves! This is the so-called family world!

But now.

Zhu Yunxi's thoughts were divided.

Because Zhu Yunxi has never been able to get over his old problem, that is, the awareness of the rule of law in his heart is too strong!

After all, Zhu Yunxi is from later generations.

There will always be some gap between it and the world.

Even if Zhu Yunxi has integrated into this world and this era as much as possible over the years, he knows in his heart that his thoughts and concepts are often not in line with the actual situation of Daming.

But in the bottom of his heart, Zhu Yunxi still felt that he was right!

It's a kind of perseverance!

Stick to your conscience in your heart!

"Xi'er, you have to remember that most of the officials in the DPRK and the central government oppose it, and it is not against one of your decrees."

Lao Zhu enlightened: "It's a certain expectation of opposition!" ”

"It's your expectation that is bound to be incompatible with the hundred officials, so they will stop it!"

"And you have to stop it!"

"Even if I have to agree to your request and get it done, because of this strong obstruction, you won't want to continue to do what you originally wanted to do in the future."

"This is a game between the hundred officials and the emperor!"

"You have to get used to him!"

"And try to make this kind of game normal! Between the officials and the emperor, there is a game all the time! ”

"But at the same time, they are also cooperating all the time!"

"As an emperor, the most important thing is to find a balance between losing and winning in this game!"

"You don't have to win big."

"Remember, what you need is a balance between cooperation and confrontation!"

"Let the officials of the Ming Dynasty know that you, Zhu Yunxi, have the ability and prestige to solve this matter, but you will be afraid of the face and dignity of the officials of the Ming Dynasty."

"Choose to back off!"

"Only by giving them enough dignity and decency, as an emperor and as a prince, will you get enough dignity and decency!"

Lao Zhu's words can be described as a pearl of words!

After Zhu Yunxi heard this, he suddenly became enlightened!

The key point of the matter is not in the matter itself at all, but in Zhu Yunxi's attitude!

Zhu Yunxi's attitude made the hundred officials feel cold, making the hundred officials think that Zhu Yunxi no longer needed them, and even said that he planned to constantly reduce their power and replace them!

This kind of attitude is what the officials really oppose!

Zhu Yunxi's expectation is nothing more than to use the law to completely replace local officials, so that local officials can only speak the law!

But is this what the officials want to see?

Not really!

That's why they have to fight against Zhu Yunxi! And it's a desperate confrontation! Because only in this way will Zhu Yunxi give up this unrealistic idea and plan!

And after listening to Lao Zhu's words.

Only then was Zhu Yunxi able to wake up and realize this level.

Lao Zhu is still too much better than Zhu Yunxi when he is the emperor! What is missing is nothing more than Zhu Yunxi's broad vision from hundreds of years later!

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson knows!"

"This matter will definitely be handled by the grandson and everything will be properly resolved!"

Zhu Yunxi's expression was solemn.

Bowing down and making a big salute, this is not just a courtesy to one's grandfather.

Nor exactly is it a courtesy to the emperor.

It's the etiquette of a division commander! It was Lao Zhu who taught him how to be an emperor!

Zhu Yunxi slowly learned what a truly qualified emperor is!

And what, what is an excellent emperor!

There is no doubt that Lao Zhu is an extremely good emperor!

And Lao Zhu was also very happy to see Zhu Yunxi enlightened.

After all, Zhu Yunxi's grade is not big, and he can get through it at one point, so Zhu Yunxi's future must be very promising.

The only pity is ...... Lao Zhu couldn't see it himself.

This is his biggest regret! But it is also a regret that can never be spoken!

He's old.

An old emperor deserves to die.

If you blindly pursue immortality and blindly pursue alchemy to become immortals, it will only make the original prosperous Ming Dynasty go into decline!

Die!

Let Zhu Yunxi succeed to the throne!

This is what Lao Zhu thinks he should really do!

After Zhu Yunxi leaves.

Lao Zhu couldn't help but burst into tears.

In front of him, there seemed to be a beautiful figure, with children of a few years old beside him.

Lao Zhu's eyes were already blurred with tears.

But I still know clearly that that beautiful figure is Queen Ma who died in Hongwu for fifteen years!

On her side, Zhu Biao, who died in Hongwu for twenty-five years!

And the second child! Third!

"Girl...... You wait for me...... Wait until I see Xi'er ascend the throne. ”

"Wait until I'm done with this last breath!"

"Let's look for you and Biao'er! When we get to Jiuquan, we must talk to my sister and Biao'er about the changes in Daming over the years. ”

"And the merits of Xi'er!"

"Let you be under the Nine Springs...... Rest in peace, too! ”

Lao Zhu has been holding his breath!

Not for anything else.

Just to be able to see the day Zhu Yunxi ascends the throne!

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed, and Lao Zhu, who should have died in the leap month of the thirty-first year of Hongwu, relied on this breath.

Survive to winter!

And outside the window, the winter of Hongwu thirty-one years.

Capital......

It's starting to snow.

Red silk.

Light snow.

Breeze.

Such a Ming ...... Beautiful.
