Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 519
Zhu Yunying and Zhu Yunzheng's joint recommendation is naturally no problem for Zhu Yunying, he still trusts his two relatives.There were quite a few literary talents in the imperial clan of the Ming Dynasty, and it might be a bit difficult to expect Jinshi among them, but there is actually not much to worry about in terms of 'appreciation ability'.

As for the fact that the imperial examination system has begun to be perfected in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunying doesn't think it's a problem that people in the opposition need to be warned at this time.There is no such thing as being able to do this only in troubled times or when the country is at an early stage of stability. As long as there is talent, Zhu Yunying can still choose to do special things, and there is absolutely no problem.

As long as that Yang Yu is talented, as long as Yang Yu can compile the "Book of Filial Piety", Zhu Yunying doesn't mind giving Yang Yu an official position, which is also a matter of course.

In the court hall, there was another quarrel, and the matter was still about some officials.Many people also feel that the rectification of the bureaucracy has suddenly become strict again, and many people naturally have some bad memories.

During the period of Emperor Hongwu, the strict legal system made many people feel terrified, especially Lao Zhu once promulgated a whole set of codes, making them the legal norms of the entire empire.He sometimes used the form of "gao" to supplement the code, and sometimes used the form of "banwen" to publish typical cases.

In fact, this should be a good thing. "Da Gao" has undergone two compilations, revisions and expansions.Before Lao Zhu abdicated, he had planned to compile and revise "Da Gao" into "Da Ming Law", but at that time he was thinking about abdicating under Zhu Yunying's instigation.

So now, Zhu Yunying needs to perfect the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", which is also the beginning of the establishment of the legal system in the Ming Dynasty.

This is also something that Zhu Yunying thinks is very important. The legal system seems to have existed since ancient times, but it also needs continuous improvement.

Misdemeanors are lightened, and felonies are heavy.

This was Lao Zhu's idea, and Zhu Yunying also planned to continue it.To put it simply, minor crimes are lightened, and serious crimes are heavy.

Matters related to ceremonies and customs, etc., should be convicted lightly; thieves and related funds, money and food, etc., should be convicted more severely.

This can allow the people to have a relatively relaxed living environment, but it is related to safety and other issues, that is, it needs to have a severe deterrent effect to maintain the long-term stability of the society.

Warring States and the like, it is too long and not comprehensive.From the Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was the period of Confucianization of ancient Chinese law. The legal provisions that originally blatantly maintained the ruling order and property relations were injected with many new contents to maintain the concept of ethics and hierarchical order, which was reflected in the legal text. There are many clauses punishing violations of status and invasion of superiority and inferiority.

Tang law seems to be good, but it raised Confucian ethics and ethical order to an extremely important position, showing the characteristics of equal emphasis on etiquette and law.

There are not many reasons to learn from the rigid dogma of the Song Law and the Yuan Law.The Ming Dynasty needs to be summarized and perfected, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can understand that in addition to imperial power, there are legal principles in this world.

This is why Lao Zhu attaches great importance to it. Lao Zhu attached great importance to legal construction at the beginning of the founding of the country.Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others also suggested to Lao Zhu to establish a perfect legal system.

The most important thing is to learn some experience from the previous dynasty to perfect and enrich it, so as to become a real legal system.

In fact, Zhu Yunying also understood that in such a feudal dynasty, imperial power would be a great obstacle to the legal system.But there is no way, the legal system must be improved, and this is what he should do.

Based on the law of the Tang Dynasty, according to the "Da Gao" promulgated by Lao Zhu before as a reference, the legislation in the economic, military, administrative, and litigation aspects should be more comprehensive.Of course, we also need to consider the form, the structure is more reasonable, and the text is more concise.

Zhu Yunying wanted to perfect the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", but this made many civil and military ministers so worried and afraid. They even thought that it was very likely that Emperor Yingshi of the Ming Dynasty wanted to do it after he was in power and purged the court. I began to consider restarting the harsh punishments and laws of the Hongwu Emperor period.

For many people's worries, Zhu Yunying also knew well, after all, he was not the ideal prince or emperor in some people's minds from the beginning.

The suppression of Confucianism and the suppression of civil servants and generals are all obvious to all.

Although this Emperor Yingshi seems to be not as harsh as Emperor Hongwu, it's just because in some 'small matters', this one is actually no different from Emperor Hongwu when it comes to ruthlessness, and even some of his decisions are challenging the bottom line of civil servants and generals .

The status of Yan Shenggong was almost restored to its original shape, and the emergence of some "wonderful works" like the Ministry of Industry and Technology shook the fundamentals of scholars entering the court as officials, and ignored the appeals of many scholars. This can become a "sage king". There is a ghost.

What's more, he is warlike, not particularly keen on things like enlightenment, and is more resistant to traditional Confucianism and Legalism, etc. The literati really don't like this emperor very much.

During the period of Emperor Hongwu, he did not dare to think of ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. As for Emperor Yingshi, in fact, he should not have such beautiful imaginations, which are simply unrealistic things.

The angry Zhu Yunying turned down, but his expression changed in an instant, as if his anger was just vented in the hall.

Wang Chengen cautiously said to Zhu Yunying, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Wen has already gone to the Hall of Spring Harmony, and arrangements have been made for Her Majesty the Empress. The imperial concubine is not with me."

Zhu Yunying nodded in satisfaction. Although Lian Qiongqiong was favored, Zhu Yunying also recognized her character.However, as an emperor, one still needs to be cautious and suspicious, after all Xu Miaoqing's status is special.

Naturally, Lian Qiongqiong couldn't serve Xu Miaoqing. It was Old Zhu's Zhang Meiren who was in front of her. She was also the biological mother of Lao Zhu's youngest daughter, Princess Baoqing.

"It is said that they are some gynecologists, and they need to be more careful." Zhu Yunying confessed, "Let's wait. If there is news from the Queen, let us know immediately."

Naturally, Wang Chengen quickly agreed, the queen's identity is special after all.The Ming Dynasty should also have a queen who is the mother of the world. It can't be the embarrassment of not having a queen for nearly 20 years, and the embarrassment of the clan without a "hostess" cannot happen.

In the past, there were no queens or princesses. In fact, many people had no idea.Now if the 'Concubine Grandson' is not here, then the harem of the Ming Dynasty will really be a mess.

Thinking of something, Zhu Yunying said, "The Supreme Emperor, remember to report quickly. We reckon that the Supreme Emperor will not give a name."

This is also Zhu Yunying's sincere words. Old Zhu only needs little Zhu to be in front of him.Therefore, no matter whether Xu Miaoqing gave birth to a son or a daughter, Lao Zhu will definitely not give her a name this time.But Zhu Yunying still needs to ask in advance.

Wang Chengen said hastily, "There is news from Dongchang that the second son of the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture is domineering and perverting the law. The Supreme Emperor blamed the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture for teaching his son ineffectively and ordered him to move to Liaodong. I am afraid that Zhezi is going to the Ministry of Officials, and it is time to select officials." .”

Zhu Yunying froze for a moment, then laughed, "That's a good thing, after all, Grandpa Huang understands our thoughts."

The magistrate of Luzhou Prefecture must have made some mistakes, but he would not be decapitated.And guessing, Lao Zhu also thinks that this is a local official with some skills, and there shouldn't be a big problem with the party in charge.

Then "small punishments, big commandments", let the magistrate of Luzhou Prefecture still think about it and make meritorious deeds. Going to Liaodong is just a euphemism.The main thing is that Koryo is attacking the city. In addition to needing soldiers who are good at fighting, they also need more officials to govern.

Zhu Yunying has no psychological barriers to this, whether this is unfair to the magistrate of Luzhou Prefecture, Zhu Yunying doesn't need to care about this matter, who made him the emperor.

Wang Chengen continued, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Wu also sent a letter. He said that he has finished his errands, and if he wants to go back to the imperial mausoleum to report good luck, His Highness Wu can come back."

"This bastard who pushed his nose and face!" Zhu Yunying scolded angrily, "Someone call him back to Beijing. If the queen gives birth to a prince, he should be sent back to his hometown as an uncle to pay homage."

Wang Chengen said with a smile, "Wu Wang Shizi also sent people shoes and hats, as well as some smart things."

Zhu Yunying sighed silently, and said, "Our incompetent brother, we can't protect him. From now on, I guess we have to protect him. This incompetent thing has no growth at all."

Wang Chengen lowered his head and did not speak. His Royal Highness King Wu, the emperor, could scold, as could the two eldest princesses.If other people dare to say that His Royal Highness King Wu is not good, the emperor's face must be very ugly, and people like Wang Chengen know this better.

It can't be said that Zhu Yunxi didn't make progress at all. Didn't he learn to use the tiger's skin as a banner? Those who don't know really think that His Highness Wu Wang really has some kind of imperial errand, how can he think that he was beaten? People sneak out to avoid the limelight and travel around the mountains and rivers.

As for the lazy younger brother, Zhu Yunying was too lazy to discipline him. Anyway, that kid is in his early twenties, so there is actually no need to say more.

The most important thing is that Zhu Yunying knows well that his younger brother is just playful.If it is true that the dandy is true, but if it is said that he is such a disaster, then it is not true. Zhu Yunying just turned a blind eye to this and let that kid mess around.

It is more important to care about the government. The Ming Dynasty is now full of vitality. Zhu Yunying wants to lay a more solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty, which naturally means that he needs to work harder.

The construction of the legal system is obviously not a small matter for Zhu Yunying. This matter really needs continuous attention and advancement. It is necessary to let the people of Daming understand that there are still legal principles in this world.

Even if there seems to be a little resistance in the court, Zhu Yunying doesn't really care about it.

In the final analysis, not only Zhu Yunying cares about legal principles, but also civil and military officials. At most, these people want to protect some of their own interests, and they don't know how to do anything.
