My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 647 Foundation
"Chen Liu Mingzhi sees His Majesty!"

"No courtesy, take a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Prince, King Qing, Qi'er, please sit down too!"

"Thank you, Father."

The emperor held up the teacup and gently blew the tea leaves, looking at Liu Mingzhi's embarrassed look: "Give me a reasonable explanation!"

"Your Majesty, I don't know what to say!"

"Just say what you want, don't use a set of nonsense to perfuse me, you know how annoyed I am about the border crossing, Dalong is recuperating, but these bastards just want to bring Dalong into In the midst of war, is it so easy to fight? Money, food, and people are not things that are related to the stability of the people in the country, but they only have money in their eyes, and they don't pay attention to the court at all."

"Your Majesty has no words to refute. In fact, I reported this matter to Your Majesty because I was worried about what His Majesty said. However, the case of corruption in the exchange market has nothing to do with His Majesty's restoration of torture. Your Majesty's benevolent government has now won the hearts of the people, and everyone inside and outside the court praises it." , if His Majesty restores torture, everyone in the civil and military courts will be in danger and act timidly, this move is not a blessing for the court!"

Li Zheng pressed the dragon case lightly, staring at Liu Mingzhi intently, as if trying to find something from his expression.

However, Liu Mingzhi's expression was neither humble nor overbearing, without the slightest sign of fear, and the emperor couldn't see anything for a while.

"Father, my son has something to say!"

The prince noticed that the atmosphere was deserted and opened his mouth to break the deadlock.

Li Zheng looked at the prince indifferently with a hint of approval in his eyes, none of the civil and military officials in the court today except Xia Gongming and Liu Mingzhi came out, and none of Li's clan dared to speak.

Today, Prince Qing and Prince Qing were called together to see who was more courageous to grab the dragon's beard, but before Liu Mingzhi came, none of the three could figure out the emperor's dragon's veins, and they were all holding each other.

Liu Mingzhi mentioned again that he hoped that the emperor would not restore torture. The fact that the emperor did not get angry but pondered for a while shows that this matter is not impossible to talk about.

"That's it!"

"Father, the sons and ministers echo Master Liu's words. The father has practiced benevolent government for many years, and he is full of praise from inside and outside. The father's sudden restoration of torture will not only panic the people in the court, but also the common people. It is similar to the crime of implicating one person. If the whole family is implicated, not only will it not make the people under the rule obedient, but they will take risks in order to survive. After all, the whole family is implicated, it is better to fight to the death. I am not saying that torture is wrong when the father is restored. It is true that many officials do not use torture. It is not enough to deter. I hope the emperor thinks twice, whether the benefits of restoring torture outweigh the harm, or the harm outweighs the benefits!"

The emperor looked at the four people in the imperial study calmly, trying to see something from their expressions.

But Li Zheng was disappointed again, and had to lament that these princes had grown up, knew how to restrain their emotions, and knew how to judge the situation by observing words and expressions.

Even the youngest Seventh Prince Li Zhi didn't show any signs of it.

"King Qing, what do you mean?"

"Father, I also think that Master Liu's words are reasonable, but I have a question and would like to ask Master Liu for advice, is it possible?"

Feeling the eyes of the emperor and King Qing, Liu Mingzhi nodded: "Your Highness King Qing, but it's okay to say, I will know everything!"

"Lord Liu, you just said that restoring torture would put everyone in danger, but as things are like today, if torture is not restored, the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty will see how the emperor easily let go of the corrupt officials at the border, so how about imitating the unscrupulous officials?" Deal with it!"

"According to the law of the dragon, the law should be executed. The minister is not covering up corrupt officials. The three highnesses also know that the minister beheaded more than [-] criminals in Qingzhou Mansion not long ago, but the family members of the criminals seem to be ignorant. Let it go, Your Majesty pays attention to governing the country according to the law, people-oriented, and the family members of criminal officials are also His Majesty's subjects, and they are also among the people. If they are implicated because of their father's crimes, how innocent are they? The law of torture and the law of good punishment have the same purpose. If this is the case, why restore torture?"

"My Highness understands what Master Liu means, but what I'm asking is if the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are not afraid, what should they do?"

"Establish an order to rule all officials, behead those who take bribes, and confiscate their property. Does your Highness want to say that if an official is corrupt, his family is not held accountable, and if an official is beheaded, his family will be honored?"

"That's right. Master Liu, please think about it. If an official accepts bribes and only punishes one person, his family will enjoy the glory. Where will he be with the victim?"

Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while and looked at his emperor quietly: "The law of the great dragon has been established. Officials are corrupt, beheaded, ransacked their homes, sons will not be allowed to take imperial examinations, and the future will not be shaded. It is very clear!"

"Your Highness understands this book, thank you Master Liu for your enlightenment!"

"My lord Liu, my Highness does not agree. If it is based on your words, why do border officials still dare to embezzle and accept bribes worth more than ten million taels?"

Liu Mingzhi glanced at the seventh prince, Li Zhi: "The profit makes the wisdom faint! Yes, but the border affairs should be handled properly, and the Yushitai is ordered to supervise, and the prince to supervise. The prince changes every year. I think the prince will not damage the foundation of the country!"

The eyes of the three princes brightened, and they drank tea pretending not to care.

Li Zheng pondered for a while: "Where is it above the court?"

"Hehe. Who in the court can escape His Majesty's discerning eyes!"

"Stop flattering, are you determined to prevent me from restoring torture?"

"I don't dare, I just hope that Your Majesty will think twice. The restoration of torture can certainly warn all officials, but in fact it will do more harm than good!"

"Report to Your Majesty, Doctor Yushi has a memorial to present!"

"allow!"

Fuhai walked into the imperial study with a memorial and respectfully put it on the dragon case: "Your Majesty, please have a look!"

The emperor picked up the memorial and flipped through it. After a while, the emperor put down the memorial and started pacing with his hands behind his back, frowning deeply, deep in thought.

"Liu Aiqing!"

"Chen is here!"

"I ask you, what should I do if the main hall's load-bearing pillars have been in disrepair for a long time? Is it better to last for a longer period of time, or is it better to replace them with new ones in time?"

Liu Mingzhi's heart skipped a beat. Song Yu had just told himself not to get involved with old and new pillars when the emperor came and asked what was written in Xia Gongming's notebook.

The most important thing is whether the emperor likes the old pillars or the new pillars, Liu Mingzhi glanced at the emperor quietly and couldn't see anything at all.

Looking at the three princes, the three of them were silent as if they were chilling.

I couldn't help sweating on my forehead, and pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, I don't think the old pillars and new pillars are important. Whether the hall is as stable as a mountain depends on whether the foundation is firm. As long as the foundation is firm, the pillars can be replaced at any time. Even the tree can't bear the weight of the hall, so the old minister thought that if there is no problem with the foundation, the hall will be safe and sound."

The emperor glanced at the three sons who were watching the nose, the nose, the nose, the nose and the heart: "If there is something wrong with the old foundation, what kind of foundation can support the hall?"

Liu Mingzhi trembled all over: "I can only make money to make the foundation stable. As for what kind of foundation can support the building, the minister is not an official from the Ministry of Industry, I absolutely don't have that vision!"

The emperor looked at Liu Mingzhi with his head down and sighed: "Prince!"

"My son is here!"

"Follow the Beishang imperial guards to deal with the corruption case in the mutual market, and ask Liu Aiqing for advice!"

"Yes, my son obeys the order!"

"King Qing."

"My son is here!"

"Jingzhou, you should go and supervise the drought in Mingzhou!"

"My son obeys the order!"

"Old Seven!"

"My son is here!"

"Shu has always been known as the Land of Abundance, and Lao San has a good reputation there, especially this year's tax revenue is several percent higher than in previous years. Go and learn from Lao San how to manage government affairs!"

"My son obeys the order!"

"Go back all!"
