Chapter 57: I See the Commons
Wu Zhiqi often sighed after accepting his son as an apprentice.
Why is this little guy's talent so good?
Gongsun Xuanyuan, who was fledgling at the beginning of the year, was the most talented human race he had ever seen, and the Earth Emperor Shennong was slightly inferior, but the two of them were also about thirty years old before they were promoted to the Heavenly Immortals.
And Zishou entered the earth immortal at the age of seventeen, and then received a punch from the ancestor Wu Zhurong and did not die, and the Dao heart was almost broken, but then it was a blessing in disguise, and the road was like a bamboo, and he had already broken through the earth immortal before he entered the cloud Mengze retreat.
At that time, he silently calculated in his heart that he was afraid that he would be able to reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm at the age of twenty and the crown.
Different from the earth immortals, the heavenly immortal realm that can travel to the twilight of the North Sea is considered a real immortal, and he has the qualification to enter the heavenly court and become an immortal.
How many people in the history of the human race who practiced for fourteen years and became the Heavenly Immortal Realm?
Even when the flood was first decided, the aura was extremely strong, and the beast clan occupied the heavens, earth, mountains and seas, and there were very few geniuses who cultivated to break through the realm so quickly. Of course, among the three clans, those who were born in the Golden Immortal Realm, such as the descendants of the ancestral dragon such as the Dark Dragon Candle Nine Yin Xiaoqian, are naturally counted separately, after all, the Dark Dragon is a fierce person who was born to roll in the Netherworld Blood Sea.
Of course, Zi Shou can have today's achievements, and I have to say that the master has taught well, and it has also proved the miraculous effect of the first spiritual water of the "Xuan Vortex Divine Water".
Thinking of this, he was inevitably a little complacent, but when he thought that he was still a little monkey who didn't understand anything in his first twenty years, he couldn't help but feel angry again, and people were more popular than people.
As soon as the back wave comes, the front wave seems to be able to only be hit on the beach.
As he expected, Zishou successfully broke through the realm at the age of twenty and enjoyed the heavenly scenery of Chaoge City.
When he returned to the Zhuhuang Palace, he would naturally inevitably be drowned in flattery like a tide.
After everything calms down, it is the day when the Son of Heaven goes out on patrol.
For the first time, he will step out of the city of Chaoge to step on the vast territory of the Great Shang and see the country under his rule.
The king of Shang did not travel for a long time, and since the ancestors of Zishou, he has not left Chaoge City for about a hundred years.
In the past, the Shang kings did not go out to the Song City to hunt, one reason was that the road was far away, and the perennial pampered Shang king's body did not know if he could withstand the bumps in the road. On the way, it is impossible to have the same complete defenses as in the castle. Moreover, among the four princes, who knows if anyone has different ambitions, in case there is chaos when the king of Shang is no longer in the capital, it will be too dangerous.
But none of this is a reason.
There is only one real reason: they are not confident enough.
And Di Xin has enough self-confidence.
At the end of summer, the carriage was out of the city.
Empress Jiang Yi accompanied her, and the Tibetan official Yongtan, the first eunuch Gu Ji, Xing Zheng Feilian, the great Sima Yin was ruined, and the musician Shi Yan and others went on a hunting tour with Zishou.
It stands to reason that the criminal punishment who is in charge of the penal laws of a country should not leave the Gyeonggi capital, but before leaving, the old criminal who is already a sixtieth birthday is finding his son and has a secret conversation.
The day before yesterday, it was nightfall, Gu Ji suddenly reported to Zishou, and Xing Zhengfei entered the palace to ask to see His Majesty.
Zishou, who was talking with Concubine Huang Xinyao at that time, met with the old man with some doubts.
Fei Lian's old-fashioned and majestic face seemed to soften a lot under the brilliant lights of Zhuhuang Palace, he knocked on the greetings one by one, Zishou admired this old minister who had assisted him for three generations of the Yin family, and personally stayed to help the old man up.
Fei Lian's movements are not stiff, although his skin is a little wrinkled, but Shenhua is restrained, and at a glance, he knows that he has a good way of maintaining health and cultivating the Tao.
With an unfathomable body of ice exercises, his cultivation is not wrong with being an official, not only is he already an important minister of a country, but his son is also a very famous young general in the army.
However, Fei Lian knew that his talent was limited, and it was difficult to break through to the realm of earth immortals, so now his mind is more focused on government affairs, and he will control the criminal law of a country without leaking, which relieves a lot of pressure for Zishou and Bigan.
Zishou was a little strange why the old man came to visit tonight, but he didn't ask, Huang Xinyao saw that her husband was going to talk about national affairs, and returned to the palace after a salute.
Without waiting for his son to be instructed, Gu Ji held two cups of freshly brewed spiritual tea.
"Your Majesty, the old minister came here to ask Your Majesty for something. Fei Lian said.
"Oh?"
Zishou was a little surprised, he has always been an iron-faced and selfless old man who has been an official for decades, Zishou has never heard of him begging someone, and he has raised two vicious dogs in the courtyard of his home.
As one of the several important ministers who are qualified to enter the Zhuhuang Palace to participate in the small court, what can he not do?
"The old minister wants to travel with His Majesty this time, but when His Majesty returns, the old minister will not follow. ”
After Fei Lian finished speaking, he just stood still, and he didn't touch the cup of spiritual tea from beginning to end.
"The old torture is ...... Want to resign?" Zishou raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. Fei Lian said with a smile.
"What does Master Xingzheng mean?" Zishou put down the teacup and looked at Fei Lian seriously.
Fei said honestly: "The old minister has been in charge of the criminal law for many years, but he has always been a little uneasy in his heart?"
"Restless...... Where did it come from?" Zishou was aroused by him and asked slowly.
"Our courtiers, with their official positions and family wealth, are mostly hereditary from the ancestors of the family. ”
"This is the ancestral system, what's wrong?"
"It's not inappropriate, it's just that after being in the eunuch's house for a long time, it is inevitable that I can't see the suffering of many people's lives. ”
"The formulation and management of the criminal law of our great business are all managed by people from families like Lao Chen, which is actually very unfair to many people, because it is difficult for us to know what problems they will encounter in their lives and what ways they will take to solve them. ”
When he said this, Fei Lian's face was heavy and solemn.
"If it was the time of the founding of the country, the world was initially decided, and the people of Li had just escaped the ravages of war, as long as the world was peaceful, there was no need to be afraid, even if the criminal law was stricter, it didn't matter. ”
And as time goes by, most people are already thinking about how to have a better life, no longer just living. ”
"In this case, some of the provisions of the criminal law seem very unreasonable, such as the first article of the third chapter, which says: 'If a minor crime is committed, the people of the clan may redeem him for a hundred coins, and he may be exempted from imprisonment.'" ’。 ”
Zishou frowned and asked, "What's wrong with this?"
"Here's the problem...... For many people, 100 shellfish coins is too much. Fei Lian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Zishou was speechless for a while, and he was accustomed to seeing gold and silver, how could he think that getting a hundred shell coins would bring great difficulties to a family.
There are many such clauses, so the old minister wants to live among the people for a few years, and then return to the court to revise and revise many unreasonable places in the law. ”
"This time I came to the Zhuhuang Palace, I wanted to say goodbye to Your Majesty, and the old minister went out of the Song City with Your Majesty, and then left on his own, not following His Majesty to patrol the hunt. ”
The old man's eyes were very firm, and he obviously made up his mind after careful consideration, and only then did he say it to Zishou.
"You're going...... How long will it take to return to Chaoge?" Zishou was shocked by Fei Lian's thoughts, and subconsciously asked.
"Ten years at the least, twenty years at most. Fei Lian said calmly.
Zishou drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, calmed down, left the royal bed, and respectfully saluted Fei Lian.
"The old man has the whole world in his heart, I am very relieved, this is the luck of all the people, and the son does not dare to forget it, since you have made up your mind, I will not stop it. When you return from your travels, I will personally help you revise the criminal law!"
Fei Lian, who abides by the etiquette, will let His Majesty salute him, and hurriedly supports his son.
"Your Majesty, why do you need such a big gift, this is the duty of the old minister. ”
Zishou straightened his waist and looked at Fei Lian with emotion, although the old man has achieved success in cultivation and has the skill to stay in appearance, but after all, he is the age of the sixtieth year, and he has returned from more than ten years, and he is almost old, and he has to revise the criminal law again, how can he not be admirable if he is so loyal?
"After you leave Chaoge, can you have a recommended candidate for the post of criminal zheng? I can summon evil to return to Beijing to take up a post. Zishou was silent for a while, and after careful consideration, he said to Fei Lian.
"Your Majesty, don't make fun of the old man, my dog has always only known how to fight and kill, how can he do things quietly behind the table. Fei Lian waved his hand and laughed at himself: "I have a candidate in my heart, and I think Your Majesty will definitely agree with it." ”
"The old criminal, please speak. Zishou smiled knowingly, and already had the answer in his heart.
"The candidate in the heart of the old minister is the Tibetan official Yongtan. Fei Lian smiled and said: "This son has been following His Majesty for a long time, and he also has talent in his chest, although he is not very old, but he has a lot of strategies in his chest, and he has a decisive temperament. ”
Zishou, who just confirmed the choice in his heart, smiled and agreed: "It just so happens that this kid is impatient to follow me to remember some trivial things in life, and it is good to go to the criminal department to exercise and exercise, and when I return from my hunting tour, let him take office." ”
——————
The hundred carriages have left the Chaoge City, and many officials and people who came to see off the Shangwang frame behind them have also returned to the Chaoge one after another, no longer following the back of the frame to eat ashes.
Zishou and Jiang Yi were saying goodbye to Bi Gan, and Bi Gan said helplessly: "You two are quiet, and you have left a lot of affairs with me." ”
Jiang Yi smiled and said: "Uncle will suffer from this for a while, and when he comes back from the hunting tour, I will let Zishou stay in the Zhuhuang Palace and not run around again." ”
Zishou looked at Jiang Yi from the side, just smiled slightly, very doting.
"Okay, I won't send it, take care of yourself on the way. ”
Bigan said goodbye to the king and queen of Shang and rode back to Yunmeng Mansion.
Fei Lian, who was carrying a small bag on his back, looked at the harmonious scene of the monarch and the minister, smiled, and also walked up to say goodbye to the two of them.
"The old minister is leaving, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, when the time comes, the old minister will naturally return to the court. ”
Zishou and Jiang Yi respectfully saluted and said goodbye to Fei Lian:
"I am waiting for you to return in Zhuhuang Palace. ”
Fei Lian waved his hand, turned around and walked away from the trail without hurrying, and gradually moved away from the long convoy.
