Chapter 906: Heavenly Khan's ruthlessness
These resolutions include, but are not limited to:
First, it is the Six Codes of the Tang Dynasty, officially renamed the "Tang Fundamental Code", which is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty and is the general charter for governing the country and the country, which applies to all the people of the entire Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Emperor has the right to propose to amend the "Tang Fundamental Code", but it needs to be voted and passed by the Central Cardinal Council before formal legislation.
This article seems unbelievable, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually only has the right to suggest? Instead of having the right to modify directly? Is this Datang still the emperor's Datang?
In fact, after Li Ke put forward this article, Li Shimin passed it very happily.
Li Ke asked Li Shimin in private, and Li Shimin just replied lightly and immediately.
"Do you think that the emperors of all dynasties can really change the law at will? In fact, all the laws of all dynasties and dynasties, the emperor also had to discuss with the ministers below, or with the world's gate lord families, nobles, etc. ”
"I don't know in ancient times, but since the recorded history of China, there has almost never been a time when the emperor can directly modify the legal code at will, and it has nothing to do with how many people are killed. Thought you couldn't really kill people unless you could find a bunch of machines to replace them. Governing the country is actually governing people. ”
"In fact, it's good to have this article, except for a very small number of people in this world, no one else even has the right to participate in the formulation and revision of this rule, but can only be bound to it."
This is Li Shimin's original words, Li Ke was a little stunned at that time, and after being stunned, Li Ke fell into deep thought.
Although he has returned to the Tang Dynasty for so long, Li Ke has a deeper understanding of the feudal society and imperial power, and the emperor is not as free as he thinks.
But Li Shimin's words still made Li Ke have a deeper understanding of the emperor's rights, and this position is ...... It's never possible to do whatever you want.
With Li Shimin's words, Li Ke began to reflect, especially the history he learned in his previous life, and even for this reason, Li Ke deliberately went to the library in the warehouse to find all the historical books that were recorded.
It is not the kind of history books that students of later generations have learned, but more professional history books that belong exclusively to various dynasties.
After reading all the books, Li Ke was shocked to find that what Li Shimin said was true.
Including emperors who are known for killing people in history, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, the other party has never said that he offended everyone at once, but skillfully killed people within the rules. And this rule...... It is the rule that Zhu Yuanzhang discussed with many nobles of the gate valve family.
Or in other words: the law.
Like Huang Chao and others in the late Tang Dynasty, no one offended everyone to death at once, even the Yuan Dynasty, which lasted the shortest time and had the most chaotic tyranny.
Sure enough, everything in the world exists, and there must be its laws.
And this law is to govern people.
Li Ke's astonishment and surprise made Li Shimin a little surprised.
Then Li Shimin asked: "Why are you surprised by this question?" Didn't all the things you've done before prove that you've seen through them a long time ago? ”
Li Ke didn't know how to answer at the time, but fortunately, Li Shimin just asked casually.
Then Li Shimin said directly: "This kind of established fact, it's just that no emperor has ever dared to admit it before, since this is the case, then I'll be the first one, just tell the facts, there is nothing unacceptable." ”
At that time, Li Ke was a little admired, worthy of the famous Tang Taizong in history, it seemed to be a very simple thing: just tell the facts.
But how many can't do it?! Too much, too much.
That's why this sentence appeared on the new "Datang Fundamental Code" and became the first sentence.
The subsequent resolution is that the reform has been established before, but the policy that has been established into law has not yet been implemented.
For example, the responsibilities of Shangshu Province, Menxia Province, and Zhongshu Province are clearer, and this is true for which people and departments are responsible for what things.
For example, Li Ke proposed that Datang officials and their immediate family members are not allowed to do business, and all property and sources of income need to be registered and reported.
This article also became a law.
Of course, there are many loopholes in this, because the rules for immediate family members are only parents, wives and concubines, children and grandchildren.
And the gate valve family, there are too many ways to deal with this kind of loophole, in fact, the reason why this article is vague and full of loopholes is also Li Ke's intention.
It's very simple, it's still the same sentence, first solve the problem from scratch.
Let it be on the terms first, as long as there is a follow-up, there will be a chance to complete it, but if you don't have it, then you want it to have, and the price you need to pay will be bigger and bigger!
Because the huge profits of Datang's business are not yet visible, and in the future, the resistance can be imagined.
So, let's set it up first.
You can't do business, but there is no rule that you can't pay dividends, and the source of income only needs to be reported, that is, it is normal for you to have several business companies under your name to pay dividends under the official.
Who knows why this firm will suddenly start to have money in the future?
Others, such as the promotion of the status of the military, the law of free circulation of the people, etc., have been relaxed, in addition to that, Datang officially revoked the title of non-editorial, and since then Datang has no such term as non-editorial.
All previously non-staff members are required to sign an employment contract, including those in the palace.
To tell the truth, Li Ke once again felt the courage of his father and the courage of Tian Khan.
Li Shimin not only directly ordered people to sign long-term employment contracts with all the palace maids and eunuchs, but also allowed them to marry and marry wives. There is no way for eunuchs to do it, but Datang estimates that there may not be new eunuchs in the future.
But the eunuch thing...... In the future, it will be voluntary, if you want to volunteer to become a eunuch, then you can, but there will be no coercion or anything like that. Although it seems that this position has always been "voluntary" since ancient times.
Li Ke didn't know why Li Shimin was so ruthless, but what he knew was that Li Shimin not only did this, but he even released some of the talents, Baolin, royal maids, and picky girls that he hadn't had time to be lucky against.
There are only a total of 17 women left who have a relationship with him.
Li Ke was a little stunned, his father was ruthless to himself, and looking at Li Shimin's appearance, he probably wouldn't be doing things like choosing a concubine in the future.
So what if my dad is "tired"?
Could it be ...... A strange thought popped up in Li Ke's mind, the emperor went to the Qinglou? Pour...... It's not impossible.
After all, there were quite a few emperors in the Great Song Dynasty in history.
Think about it...... It's quite reasonable, after all, you said that the emperor has so many concubines, and there are actually only a few who have feelings, most of them have no feelings, and many of them are impulsive.
Since it's impulsive...... Why don't you be impulsive outside?
