Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 483 The Ming Constitution
Zhang Shenyan also explained with a smile: "The ministers thought that the Holy Majesty knew about it a long time ago, so the Holy Majesty did not report it after returning to Nanjing from Xuzhou."

Chongzhen was even more confused: "Old Zhang Ge, what are you talking about?"

Lu Zhenfei said with a smile: "My lord is like this. Concubine Li is very popular with the local people because she has vigorously cleared the land in Zunyi Mansion and distributed it equally to the local people. They even regard her as a figure like Mrs. Shexiang, so she is called She is Mrs. Xiangjun, and the reason why the natives of Shuixi moved to Zunyi Mansion is also because they have land to divide after moving to Zunyi Mansion."

Speaking of this meal, Lu Zhenfei smiled again and said: "I thought the majesty had issued a decree to Concubine Li, that's why Concubine Li cleared up the land in Zunyi Mansion and distributed it to the local people."

"From now on, it seems that the Holy Majesty has not issued a decree for Concubine Li?"

Huang Daozhou finally seized the opportunity. He actually had a lot of opinions on Chongzhen's acceptance of Li Xiangjun and Ran Sanniang as concubines. Did the Ming Dynasty have no women from good families?As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, what kind of concubine can't you find?Do you have to find a brothel girl and a barbarian widow to be concubines?Do you have any special hobbies?

The air in the grass hall instantly became solemn, and Lu Zhenfei frowned even more.

Zhang Shenyan said with a straight face: "Even if the Holy Majesty didn't issue a decree to Concubine Li, so what? As a general in charge of the army, he has the right to do whatever he wants. Otherwise, he would have to ask for instructions for everything, from Sichuan to Nanjing. For more than three thousand miles, nothing can be done, so as long as the final result is good, why bother to stick to it?"

"Mr. Zhang Ge absolutely disagrees with this statement." Huang Daozhou's chest was filled with fighting spirit in an instant.

"Mencius said, if you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square and a circle. Correction!"

As soon as the word Jiaozhao came out, the atmosphere in the grass hall suddenly became more tense, and the air froze.

Huang Dao Zhou Yi's face was straightened, and he continued: "Your Majesty, the Taizu Emperor Gao had established an ancestral precept during his stay that no one in the harem should be involved in government affairs. Therefore, it is against the emperor's ancestral precept to lead the army. , it is even more treasonous, I ask you to depose Concubine Li immediately, and recall her to Nanjing to interrogate Yousi."

Chongzhen suddenly felt that one head was two big, and Mr. Daoxue was really annoying.

But Chongzhen can't beat them or scold them, because as the king of a country, the most taboo is to act according to personal likes and dislikes, otherwise it is easy to block the way of speaking.

As the saying goes, if there is something good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom.

If the superiors only act according to their personal likes and dislikes, and the Chinese, military and military officials in the court must try to figure out what they want to do, then in the course of time, there will be only treacherous villains left in the court. If you don't give harsh advice, then the country will not be far away from subjugation.

Isn't this how Datang turned from prosperity to decline?
Those who are superior must have the quality of listening.

A society must also accommodate different voices.

When sharp criticism disappears completely, mild criticism will also become harsh, and when mild criticism also disappears, silence will also become malicious, so the superior should not seek to have only one voice to speak.

The wisest thing to do is to face it bravely and allow different voices to spread the debate freely.

As long as the people are truly in their hearts, as long as they can bring tangible benefits to the people, the people will use their own feet to make their own choices. Will come back to the right path one day.

So Chongzhen never minded Mr. Daoxue talking.

And never had the idea of ​​sealing up the Hanlin Daily.

If one day Mr. Taoism disappears and Daming only has Xinxue as his voice, Chongzhen will feel worried, because when a theory or an idea loses external competitors, it will soon become complacent again and try to stop it. Renewal ideas emerged to replace it.

In short, Chongzhen doesn't mind Mr. Taoism's words, but he can't talk nonsense about Jiaozhao.

At that moment, Chongzhen said with a dark face: "Although I didn't issue a decree to Concubine Li, I gave Zhongzhenhou a secret edict, allowing her to be exclusive. If I didn't guess wrong, Zhongzhenhou should have given this edict to her." Concubine Li, otherwise Concubine Li would not have the guts to clear up the land in Zunyi Prefecture and implement the national policy of equalizing the land."

Lu Zhenfei immediately echoed, "It must be so."

What Lu Zhenfei meant was that Zodiac Zhou was almost done.

Huang Daozhou didn't appreciate it at all: "Such a coquettish edict is not considered a coquettish edict, but the Holy Majesty Concubine Xu Li is leading the army outside, this move is still against the ancestral training of Emperor Taizu Gao, and it is inappropriate."

Chongzhen didn't want Li Xiangjun to lead the army at first, and he really missed Li Xiangjun after seeing him for half a year, so he immediately planned to recall Li Xiangjun to Nanjing.

But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his mind.

Because Chongzhen discovered that now may be an opportunity, an opportunity to revise the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty, and an opportunity to promulgate the first real "Constitution" of the Ming Dynasty!

How about taking this good opportunity to revise the emperor's ancestral precepts and make it China's first constitution?
Immediately Chongzhen said: "Since Mr. Huang Ge mentioned the ancestral teachings of the Emperor Ming, and the four elders happened to be there, then today is a good time to discuss the ancestral teachings of the Emperor Ming with me. During the 280 years of the Sixteenth Emperor Fan, the world has changed and there have been many changes in the world, so should the emperor's ancestors keep pace with the times and make certain deletions?"

Huang Daozhou opened his mouth to retort, but was interrupted by Chongzhen's violent wave of his hand: "Old Huang Ge, please stop talking."

After a short pause, Chongzhen said again: "It seems that in the first chapter, the barbarians from all over the world, Annan was the country that the Taizu appointed not to conquest, but didn't Emperor Chengzuwen also send general Zhu Neng to conquer? It is also like the chapter in the inner palace. The bureau and others have been transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the permanent abolition of factory guards should also be included in the emperor's ancestors' instructions?"

Huang Daozhou nodded subconsciously and said, "It should be so."

Chongzhen smiled and asked again: "So Mr. Huang Ge supports the revision of Huang Ming Zu Xun?"

"I support this chapter." Huang Daozhou nodded, and then said, "But it is limited to this section, and other chapters will not support it. The emperor Ming Zu Xun was appointed by Emperor Taizu Gao, how can you take it lightly?" change."

"Okay, since Huang Ge said that the emperor's ancestral instructions cannot be easily deleted, should the chapters revised by Emperor Xuanzong also be restored to the original version of Emperor Taizu Gao?" Chongzhen asked with a smile.

"This..." Huang Daozhou was speechless, of course this cannot be recovered.

Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji of the Ming Dynasty deleted or added only three precepts of the emperor's ancestors. One is that the vassal king is not allowed to leave the country without an edict, the other is that the vassal king is prohibited from intermarrying with court officials, and the third is that the clan is prohibited from serving as an official or general.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's emperor's ancestral precepts did not have these restrictions.

During the Taizu Dynasty, the vassal king could leave the feudal state, and it was common for the vassal king to marry officials. Didn’t Zhu Di marry the daughter of Zuo Prime Minister Xu Da when he was still King Yan?

Lao Zhu did not forbid the sons of the clan to be officials.

It has to be said that Emperor Xuanzong supported these three deletions and revisions by civil officials.

Especially the last one, prohibiting the children of the clan from becoming officials or becoming generals, the civil official group even supported it, because once the children of the clan were allowed to become generals, how could the civil official group compete with the clan?
It won't take long for all the civil and military people above the court to become children of the clan.

At that moment, Huang Daozhou said in a nasty voice: "Your Majesty, Emperor Xuanzong's deletion of these three items is also very good. The old minister thinks that it should be preserved and it is not appropriate to restore the original version."

Chongzhen smiled and asked: "Then dare to ask Mr. Huang Ge, can the emperor's ancestor's instructions be deleted or not?"

"Well, it depends on the plot, and we can't generalize it." Huang Daozhou said, "If it is inappropriate, delete it, but if it is appropriate, then there is no need to delete it. For example, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Veteran officials think it is very appropriate and should not be deleted. "

Chongzhen asked again: "So which ones do not need to be deleted and which ones need to be deleted, can Mr. Huang Ge tell us?"

"The old minister is eager to explain this matter, but he can't explain clearly." Huang Daozhou was already in the top right now, and he hadn't realized that he had stepped into the language trap preset by Chongzhen. The original version of Huang Ming Zu Xun and the later deleted and revised version, and then give the saint a report."

Hearing this, Zhang Shenyan and the other three couldn't listen anymore.

"Huang Daozhou, what do you intend to do? To change the emperor's ancestor's precepts without authorization?"

"Zhuang Daozhou, do you want to learn from Wang Mang's New Deal, or Huo Guang's abolition? How respectful are the precepts of Emperor Ming's ancestors, and how can you change them just by saying so?"

"This is really not what a minister should do. Want to rebel?"

Huang Daozhou's face suddenly changed when he heard the words, and only then did he react.

Emperor Ming Zu Xun, this is only the emperor has the right to delete and modify.

As officials, they only have the power to suggest or resist.

At that moment Huang Daozhou hurriedly said: "Report to Your Majesty, what the old minister said is just a suggestion."

Fortunately, Chongzhen didn't think about using this to bring down Huang Daozhou, so he immediately said to the donkey, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Huang Ge, how can you, an elder, decide such important matters as deleting and revising the emperor's ancestor's instructions. "

"That's right, that's right, old minister He Dehe dares to take on this very important task." Huang Daozhou's forehead was sweating.

Lu Zhenfei said with a respectful face: "How to delete and revise the emperor's ancestor's precepts, please let the Holy One decide."

"Your Majesty, please ask the sage Ganna to make a decision." Zhang Shenyan and Meng Zhaoxiang seconded the proposal. Although Huang Daozhou was still unwilling, he had no choice but to second the proposal.

"For such a big matter, I alone have the final say, okay?"

Chongzhen smiled, and then said with a serious smile: "This is how I think about it. No matter how perfect and perfect the emperor's ancestral precepts are revised, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no unworthy descendants in the future. I have made a mess of deletions and revisions of the emperor's ancestral precepts, so doesn't that mean that nothing has been done?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the four elders suddenly became serious.

[Still empty, unable to sit for long, that's all for this chapter]
