One day a few months later, many city lords came to Fengqi City under the summons of Su Zixuan.

This time he summoned them in such a hurry, Su Zixuan was forced to tell the truth, and there had been several rebellions in recent months, and Su Zixuan had no choice but to hurriedly summon them.

"Everyone, what you are doing now makes me very puzzled, why do you keep rebelling? Why is this? I have issued orders many times to pay attention to the movements of those great families in the cities, and you are good! This matter makes me very dissatisfied!"

Su Zixuan looked at the music on the throne and said eagerly.

The crowd below was ashamed.

"Your Majesty, those big clans in our city have been watched by the ministers for a long time, but they don't want to neglect those scattered cultivators, and the ministers are ashamed of Your Majesty!"

"Oh...... What about the others? Don't you feel a little emotional? Our soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died in peacetime, do you really go with your conscience?"

"The ministers don't dare, they just ......"

"Say, I forgive you for your innocence!" Seeing the appearance of the city lord below, Su Zixuan knew what they were worried about.

"I think it...... The laws we have implemented can no longer be satisfied with the present, many problems can no longer be implemented by the original laws, and many rebellions in the cities are partly due to dissatisfaction with our current laws. ”

"The ministers seconded it!"

When everyone heard Yu Wen say this, they stepped forward one after another to second.

"Oh, Yu Wenyi, what is wrong with it?" Su Zixuan asked after hearing this.

"I think there are three shortcomings!" Yu Wen analyzed after hearing this.

Su Zixuan was also interested after hearing this, so he let him continue.

"First, everything is decided by the law and everything is decided by the top, which is the first shortcoming. The reason why we promote the law is to adjust social life to a certain extent, and to use the law as the basic or even the only means to govern the country and society, and the content of the law formulated by Xuan Mingjun is also extremely rich, whether it is from politics or to economy, or from production to ordinary life, there are laws to follow. ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded silently, and Su Zixuan motioned for Yu Wen to continue.

On the surface, the rule of law means that everyone is equal before the law, but in fact the law is not the rule of law in which everyone is absolutely equal, and we, as the ruling class, are above the law, which is a bit contrary to the role of the law. ”

"Okay, Yu Wen, you go on!" Su Zixuan listened to Yu Wen's analysis.

"Second, it is the change from heavy punishment and light reward to heavy punishment without reward, in order to make us rich and strong quickly, Xuan Mingjun also uses the law and the ninth-level military merit system to regulate and guide the behavior of sentient beings. ”

"In the beginning, the law also recognized that reward and punishment are the main means of the rule of law, but the punishment is the main, and the reward is supplemented, in short, the punishment is used to stop evil, and the reward can only play an auxiliary role, but in practice, the use of punishment and reward has not been adhered to, but it has formed today's heavy punishment and light reward, first punishment and then reward, and more punishment and reward!"

When everyone heard this, they knew that Yu Wen's move was too reckless, so they said sharply: "Yu Wen, you are presumptuous!"

Su Zixuan waved his hand and asked Yu Wenshi to continue.

Third, from the very beginning of the reward production to the later extensive conscription, this is also inappropriate These measures to encourage production, but also to promote the development of productive forces, but in practice it is not really done, and it can even be said that it has not achieved the expected effect, in recent decades, are carrying out extremely heavy projects, people's livelihood construction, and these decades of conquest This has been a particularly huge demand for monks and soldiers. ”

In the past few decades or so, the war conquest and project construction have been carried out from top to bottom, and the surplus labor force has basically been cut off, and sentient beings are no longer able to carry out the most basic production activities, and the decree rewarding production has become a dead letter. ”

"Good...... That's a good point! Yu Wen, you're right! Get to the point!"

After Su Zixuan heard this, he praised Yu Wen instead of being angry, and then began to say his own thoughts.

"Yu Wen, listen to my analysis, while we are enforcing the legal system, are we also constantly strengthening the legal status of our own political power?"

"I believe that I am the embodiment of 'law', and that it is also a combination of legislators, rulers, and judicials!

"In terms of the central system, I defended the imperial power with the system of three provinces, six prefectures and twelve cities, and strengthened the centralization of power through the principles of dividing powers, checking and balancing each other, and supervising each other. ”

"And the legislative, administrative, judicial, military, name, education, and ideological power of the country are all tightly grasped by me, and my meaning is to emphasize the supremacy of the monarchy, but also to pay attention to the impartial authority of the law, in short, the role of the law is to maintain the supremacy of the monarchy!"

After everyone heard Su Zixuan say this, they also understood what Su Zixuan meant, so they were silent.

After a while, Su Zixuan also began to reflect.

"But I naturally have shortcomings, I have always felt that only heavy punishment and more killing can rule the eternity, and in order to make sentient beings bow down, I have to use those cruel methods of repression to deal with sentient beings......"

After hearing this, everyone no longer dared to say anything, and Tianxuan, who had not spoken all this time, also began to talk about the law after hearing it.

"You must also understand that when the monarch's sole authority is not enough to form absolute authority, the absolute authority of the monarch must be manifested through severe punishment and strict laws, which is a necessary means to maintain the monarch's power and position and monopolize the interests of the world......"

"Okay, Xuan Mingjun, you don't have to say more, I'm guilty......"

Su Zixuan said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty... That's not what we mean...... That's not what it means......"

"Yes, Your Majesty! We just feel that it is now a time of peace, and this kind of law is already a little unsuitable for the current situation, and we have achieved what we have achieved under the leadership of Your Majesty, and we have no other meaning......

"Your Majesty......"

"Hmm...... I know... So now, it is imperative to change the law to become stronger, we must change, and now I have summoned everyone so hastily to let everyone say what is in my heart, it seems that my goal has been achieved, in this case, we will start formulating a new law in the next period!"

Then he said: "Xuan Mingjun, you can let the rest of the monarchs continue to be in charge of their own affairs, and there is no need for them to go to the cao) heart here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied Tianxuan.

"Hmm... You city lords can live in the middle of the city, and we will work together to formulate the new law and strive to make it strong......"

"Yes......"
