I'm really not doing business

Chapter 340 Deep-rooted weakness, habitual compromise

Zhu Yijun has very distinct characteristics of a disciple of Qi Jiguang. His waist sword is a six-foot-five-inch Qi family waist sword. His sword technique is called Xinyou sword technique. It was written by Qi Jiguang in the 39th year of Jiajing. In the second year of Longqing, Qi Jiguang went north. Later, this sword technique was improved. Zhu Yijun's two-foot long spear technique was called the 24-style six-alloy spear technique.

These characteristics are very distinct. People who practice martial arts only need to take a look to know the origin of Zhu Yijun. With just a look, each martial artist has different starting styles, such as center parting and suspenders, to know who he is. Who is talking about the same distinctive features.

Chen Dazhuang, among beauty, silver, and waist knife, chose the waist knife used by Zhu Yijun because Chen Dazhuang really believed in the Ming Emperor. Ling Yunyi originally gave Chen Dazhuang the opportunity to kill his enemies. In order not to find more enemies for Ling Yunyi Trouble, Chen Dazhuang chose to believe the emperor, and the emperor chose to kill Chen Dazhuang's family-killing enemy with dogs.

If he were another emperor, Chen Dazhuang might choose beauty or silver. Chen Dazhuang could feel the distinctive characteristics of His Majesty the Emperor. He chose the sword and made great achievements.

"Reward!" Zhu Yijun was very satisfied with Chen Dazhuang's choice. Because of his status, the emperor could not go to the Japanese country to kill the Japanese pirates in person, so let Chen Dazhuang take his weapon and kill the people on his behalf.

"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Chen Dazhuang took the saber.

Zhu Yijun said with great conviction: "Kill a few more Japanese pirates for me on the battlefield in the future. I won't be able to go, so I will be strong with work."

"I obey the order!" Chen Dazhuang obeyed the order again and began to explain the capture process in detail. Yamada Yunobu really couldn't escape, because the capture of Yamada Yunobu was a dragnet, and Yamada Yunobu turned into a fish in the sea. We must also catch him.

When the will of the Ming Emperor calls for the death of a specific person, that specific person will be caught, even in the ends of the earth.

This era is still an era with extremely low population mobility. When a stranger appears, the whole village knows that there is a stranger here within two days.

Chen Dazhuang left the Wenhua Palace with the Emperor's Saber. He would stay in the capital for three days, and then return to Nagasaki with the imperial edict and rewards from the imperial court.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty began to study the rewards. Chen Lin's appointment as uncle was already a certainty. This battle was really beautiful. The navy of the Ming Dynasty was ready to fight. It spent so much money and it was not in vain. The training was in order. The navy gave the Japanese country a bit of a shock to the heavenly kingdom.

Chen Lin was granted the title of Shuribo, which is Shuri Castle, the capital of Ryukyu, and was given a world certificate, which was hereditary.

The Nagasaki Governor's Office itself was the biggest beneficiary of this war. As a result of this great victory, all officials, big and small, were rewarded by the imperial court, especially Xu Wei and Sun Keyi, who were favored by the imperial court and granted hereditary households. .

The jurisdiction of the Nagasaki Governor-General's Palace suddenly expanded to its current size, and there was an immediate shortage of talents. The Nagasaki Governor-General's Palace was willing to provide generous rewards, but there were no management talents willing to go there. This was also a realistic and very objective problem.

The Ming Dynasty wanted to exile the powerful rightists, from Yingchang on the Daxianbei Mountain Road to Mindanao in Luzon, and there was another Nagasaki Governor's Palace.

Hai Rui was born in Qiongzhou, Hainan. This incident was what Hai Rui reminded the emperor. In fact, most of the exiles in the Ming Dynasty were for the sake of kings. For example, the persistent exile to Qiongzhou in the Tang and Song Dynasties finally blossomed in the second year of Jingtai, the reign of Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty. result.

Qiu Jun became a Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty in the second year of Jingtai, which represented his contribution to the promotion of culture and education.

The court meeting was in full swing to formulate various rewards. Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, was in high spirits during the whole process. Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou were all outstanding people among the Japanese people. They supported the Japanese war with both hands.

"Your Majesty, the Third Lady has submitted a memorial." Wang Chonggu shook out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Feng Bao, who then walked to the imperial palace on the platform.

After Zhu Yijun read it, he exhaled vigorously and said, "Okay, okay, Madam Zhongshun, it's good to have a respectful heart."

Even those who don’t know how to speculate on His Majesty’s holy will can tell that His Majesty is really in a good mood.

Sanniangzi's memorial said one thing, that is, Sanniangzi will bring a group of special prisoners and return them to the Ming Dynasty when she pays tribute next time. This group of special prisoners has a common name, Duntaiyuan. Hou Ye refused to accept it.

The Ming Dynasty's Duntaiyuanhou did not close their posts at night. These scouts were engaged in the dangerous work of spying on the enemy, investigating hydrology and geography, and setting fires in autumn to ensure that the court was aware of the movements of the grassland tribes.

To spy on the enemy requires going deep into the prison camp, and this process is often very dangerous.

Anda Khan held a total of seventeen piers and distant princes. Just like Su Wu's shepherd, the Chanyu of the Huns had always hoped to persuade Su Wu to surrender in order to prove that he was more popular. Anda Khan had also been trying to persuade these piers and distant princes to surrender. , and the longest detention time is more than 13 years.

Anda Khan failed. None of the seventeen piers and distant princes became the enemy's hawks and lackeys.

This time, Sanniangzi planned to send all these captives to the Ming Dynasty when she paid tribute next year. This was also regarded as the implementation of the specific provisions of the treaty signed in Yingchang, and the affairs of the Han people were under the control of the Han people.

The Sanniangzi controlled the political power and financial power, but she did not control the military affairs. Anda Khan was the sole controller of the military power from beginning to end. Once he mastered the military power, he had the ability to overturn the table. The army of the Ming Dynasty belonged to the dynasty. Ballast stone, especially grassland.

If a large ship loses its ballast, it will definitely capsize, but it cannot move forward even if it only has ballast.

Sanniangzi did not pay too much. Her persuasion was successful, and Anda Khan was willing to hand over the person, because Sanniangzi needed a gift, a gift that would make the Ming Emperor and the Ming court excited.

Last time Anda Khan sent an army of two thousand people to attack Yingchang, which brought the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty to a freezing point. A carefully prepared gift was needed to satisfy the Ming Dynasty.

Obviously, these seventeen Duntai Yuanhou, who have gone through many hardships, are very suitable.

After reading the memorial, Zhang Juzheng frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed his brows. He smiled and said, "Da Sikou is interested."

"Oh?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu. Zhang Juzheng never made lies out of thin air.

Wang Chonggu looked a little helpless when he looked at Zhang Juzheng. The living Zhang Juzheng was really insightful. This memorial did not mention Wang Chonggu a word, but Zhang Juzheng still saw it. He bowed his head and said: "Sanniang asked me what I should get from the letter." I’ll give my advice to the staff officer on what to do.”

"How did you figure it out, sir?" Zhu Yijun asked in surprise.

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Sanniang is the regent of the Ming Dynasty. People who eat meat will not see people eating grass. Sanniang would not have thought that His Majesty would value these distant princes so much."

Even if Sanniang was allowed to stay with her for three months, she would never have thought that Emperor Ming would care about those insignificant people, and that the Marquis of Duntaiyuan, who was far away, would be so important in His Majesty's heart.

Someone must have given Sanniangzi an idea, and this person was naturally Wang Chonggu, who came up with the memorial.

"Sir, you are great." Zhu Yijun said sincerely. The emperor discovered that Zhang Juzheng's favorite way to think about problems was to put himself in someone else's shoes and think about the problem by putting himself in that person's shoes.

This terrifying talent gave Zhang Juzheng a keen eye for seeing fire in the court, just like the demon mirror in the hand of King Li Tian, ​​​​where monsters and ghosts have nowhere to hide.

Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes is easier said than done.

"Can the Third Lady come in advance? Ah, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come. Just send Marquis Duntai Yuan here. Wang Cifu, what price will our Marquis Duntai Yuan have to pay for returning home?" Zhu Yijun looked extremely expressionless. Dignity, Sanniang can agree to it as long as she doesn't impose too many conditions.

This is completely different from Zhu Yijun's past attitude. Zhu Yijun is the emperor, and he is very daddy. You must take what is given to you, and you cannot ask for what is not given to you. This time, you can negotiate terms and even make some concessions. of.

"The smoothness of the wool business." Wang Chonggu did not sell out, but directly stated Sanniang's needs. The wool business was financial power and the best way for Sanniang to control various ministries, and Sanniang hoped to ensure the stability of the wool business.

Wang Chonggu further added: "Sanniang Zi said that for grassland people, raising more sheep is a gift from the Immortal God. Newborn children can survive the cold winter, and Your Majesty is the envoy of the Immortal God in the world, bringing hope to the world. and survival to the grassland.”

The grassland is bitterly cold. If you can raise more sheep, you will have more confidence to survive the winter. However, the grassland must raise horses, otherwise it will be annexed by the enemy and there will not be enough resources for life.

"Very good, Anda Khan is blessed." Zhu Yijun once again lamented the luck of Anda Khan. With such a wife here, the poor coolies in the Ming Dynasty and Beilu can breathe a sigh of relief and live well, instead of For the leader's ambition, he threw his life into a corner where no one cares.

"I still have 52 silver in my internal funds. Let's expand the production of the official woolen factory. This matter should be left to Wang Cifu's supervision." Zhu Yijun decided to expand the production of the official woolen factory and came to tell Sanniang that as long as Duntai Yuanhou can Back home smoothly, wool business, no problems.

Wang Chonggu said very tactfully: "Your Majesty, there is still money in the woolen factory's account, and there is a lot of it."

In the story of worsted wool and the big silk coin business, there is a grassland with limited aquatic plants and a limited amount of wool. The number of silk coins cannot be over-issued for no reason. Even if the court wants to make more, the grassland does not have it. There are so many sheep, so the value of silk coins will be dynamically stable with the influx of silver.

The official woolen factory is limited by the supply of raw materials, and its production expansion is never disorderly. It needs to be constantly adjusted according to the supply of wool.

Your Majesty just gives 150 million silver, but the grassland does not have enough wool to provide it, and it will have no effect.

"Then Wang Cifu told Mrs. Zhongshun that I am very concerned about the return of Duntai Yuanhou." Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, Da Sima, Nanhaizi's Duntai Yuanhou's family will be resettled and repaired. The family members of all the piers were brought to Nancheng at night, and the great uncle established culture and education in Nancheng and arranged several calligraphy societies and schools."

"I obey the order." Tan Lun and Ma Ziqiang obeyed their leader's orders.

Nanhaizi, Daxing County, resettled the family members of Duntai Yuanhou. This matter has been going on since the second year of Jingtai. Time flies, with the general trend of civil and military prosperity, this resettlement place has become overgrown with weeds. Since Wanli made the country rich and powerful, , Nancheng began to be reused. This time, the emperor spent his own money to expand Nancheng.

The 52 taels of silver were the private money of the Ming Emperor, and were paid from internal funds.

"I have doubts." Wang Chonggu said with an unbearable expression: "I am afraid of rumors."

"The great Sikou is worried too much." Wan Shihe waved his hands and said, "There is no need to worry about the great Sikou. He is just a cheap scholar."

"What does a lowly Confucian look like? He is dissatisfied with the status quo, unable to change, and afraid of change. If there is even the slightest change, he will be extremely frightened."

“I am opposed to authority figures, but I also hope that a saint can come up with a flawless solution to the various existing conflicts. Then this saint can solve all the conflicts, leave consciously and quietly without fame and fortune. "

“We both shy away from the difficulties of the reform, and at the same time we salivate over the fruits of the reform. We hate the powerful and powerful above ourselves with gnashing of teeth, but we are also extremely vicious toward the common people below us.”

"I know clearly the faces of the meat-eaters around me and want to get rid of them quickly, but I also have unrealistic fantasies about the meat-eaters in the past."

"The only thing that a humble scholar can do in this life is to eat the steamed buns that others have chewed, because he can't bite them into pieces. He will always be grand and magnificent, always enjoy the sunshine, and always just want to sit back and enjoy the fruits. He will always only know how to stand on a high place. Pointing at others, but not looking at yourself.”

"The bones of a cheap Confucian are all soft, with deep-rooted weakness and habitual compromises. Why should we be afraid of such a cheap Confucian?"

Wan Shihe's tone became higher and stronger. He didn't stop once he opened his mouth. He didn't stop until he finished what he wanted to say, then he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, still looking angry. A rushing look.

"Wan Dazai, stop talking, stop talking. The more you listen to this, the more it sounds like you are looking in the mirror." Ma Ziqiang gave Wan Shihe a cup of tea. Among the six ministers, Ma Ziqiang was the only one who felt guilty. This sentence after sentence was like It was like scolding him.

Some people read the joke, and some people look in the mirror.Ma Ziqiang became the Minister of Rites, and one of his achievements was to burn the "Direct Interpretations of the Four Books" and "The Illustrated Commentary on the Emperor's Manual" for His Majesty. Although the authors were a collaboration between him and Zhang Juzheng, Ma Ziqiang knew that he just used them to burn a copy. That’s all.

And now the Ministry of Rites relies on Wan Shihe for many matters. Isn't this just eating the steamed buns that others have chewed?

"Uncle Da Zong is really belittling himself." Wan Shihe did not scold Ma Ziqiang, and Ma Ziqiang was not a cheap scholar. He was just not as shameless as Wan Shihe.

Wan Shihe is saying that these cheap Confucians are nothing to worry about and cannot make any waves. Wan Shihe is a fundamental member of the etiquette and law. If no one distracts him, he will never lose to the cheap Confucians in terms of popularity and public opinion. of.

"Leave it to Dazai Wan." Wang Chonggu heard what Wan Shihe said and handed the matter over to Wan Shihe to sort out.

The humble Confucians of the Ming Dynasty now hate Wan Shihe Zhen so much that their back teeth are about to be broken, but there is nothing they can do.

Zhu Yijun was very concerned about this matter. He invited Tan Lun to go to Xuanfu to welcome Duntai Yuanhou who returned home.

"Chen Yi, the censor of Qiandu, impeached Zhao Youyuan, the censor of patrol. After leaving the country, he suddenly claimed to be ill and begged for leave. He cheated and evaded Taiwan's rules. It is urgent to remove him as a warning for deception." Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial. , handed to all the courtiers.

When he was out of the country, he was a local governor or censor. His term was nine years. After the term was over, he returned to Beijing to report on his duties. This was called leaving the country. But halfway through, Zhao Youyuan suddenly said that he was ill and wanted to become an official. You don’t live in a hotel like this, just say hello and leave?When I return to Beijing to report on my work, do I have to come to Beijing?Does the work at hand need to be handed over clearly?

Zhao Youyuan was just claiming to be sick, but he actually had another purpose. This was what Chen Yan said was fraud and evasion, which was very inconsistent with Taiwan regulations.

Zhao Youyuan's phenomenon of claiming to be ill after his term was actually very common in the official factories of the Ming Dynasty.

Rich and noble do not return home, such as brocade clothing at night.

After the Ming Dynasty officials completed their term of office, they would return to their hometowns in the process of returning to Beijing to resume their duties, and they would do so in great pomp, with people cheering in front and behind, and extremely majestic.Wherever he passed, local officials would visit him far and wide, and many people took the opportunity to cling to him.

Zhao Youyuan was in such a situation. Before he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, he returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and the censor of Qiandu impeached him.

"The state has national laws and families have family rules. How did this matter come to the Wenhua Palace?" Zhu Yijun looked at Hai Rui with some confusion and said, since it violated Taiwan's rules, he should be removed through the process.

Hai Rui explained: "Zhao Youyuan and Zhao Nanxing, who went to Luzon, are from the same hometown. They once planned to collapse. Zhao Youyuan claimed to be ill this time. It is not false to say that he was ill. He was mentally ill. He was afraid that he would imitate Zhao Nanxing and Zhao Nanxing. Zou Yuanbiao was exiled to a borderland, so he simply did not return to Beijing."

Zhao Nanxing and Zou Yuanbiao insisted on overthrowing Zhang Juzheng after he returned to the court. If Zou Yuanbiao's mentor Hu Zhi hadn't interceded, Zou Yuanbiao would have been treated as a traitor by the emperor.

Zhao Youyuan and Zhao Nanxing were good friends. Zhao Nanxing was sent to Luzon by the emperor because of the overthrow of Zhang. When Zhao Youyuan thought that he would have to face the Ming Emperor and Zhang Juzheng when he returned to the capital, he was a little afraid and hesitated. Went home.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Youyuan is the censor of Huguang." Wan Shihe reminded His Majesty that this Zhao Youyuan is an official in Huguang. It is almost obvious why he is afraid of entering Beijing.

What Zhao Youyuan offended Zhang Juzheng was not just the matter of betraying Zhang, but also more.

Zhu Yijun understood. In conclusion, he did not dare to return to Beijing for this Zhao Youyuan.

"The imperial censor has arrived at the end of his term. He went to Beijing according to the restrictions. The constitutional prohibitions on returning to the country for inspection are very strict. Recently, returning to his hometown due to illness is a violation of the law. Zhao Youyuan is dismissed from his post and serves the people. In the future, those who continue to violate the same rules will be dealt with as usual."

"If you don't want to be an official, you don't have to be an official. Just reduce your status and become a citizen." Zhu Yijun thought about it and made a decision.

Zhao Youyuan really returned to Beijing, but he caused trouble. Even if Zhang Juzheng was not targeting him, there were many people who were looking for trouble for him. There were many people who followed the trend. With Zhang Juzheng's position, Zhao Youyuan would be in huge trouble without taking action.

The bad reputation of these partisans who made things difficult for Zhao Youyuan should all be attributed to Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng cannot protect Zhao Youyuan, otherwise Zhang Juzheng's character will collapse.
This is not a situation Zhu Yijun wants to see.Zhang Juzheng will be in a dilemma. Since Zhao Youyuan does not have the courage to face Zhang Juzheng, then he will be reduced to a civilian status. If Zhao Youyuan is honest, the court will treat him as if he does not exist.

Zhao Nanxing, Zou Yuanbiao and Zhao Youyuan were defeated. Zhao Youyuan was punished the most severely. He was a citizen and no longer an official. Naturally, he was not allowed to sign official documents or use inns as an official. He was not a gentry. , without judicial and tax privileges.

Zhao Nanxing went to Luzon and Zou Yuanbiao went to Yingchang, both to serve as officials.

These three people completely fit the image of the humble Confucianism that Wan Shihe scolded. The image Wan Shihe portrayed is so profound.

"Has Zou Yuanbiao arrived in Yingchang?" Zhu Yijun asked about Zou Yuanbiao's whereabouts.

"Not yet." Wan Shihe immediately answered His Majesty. Wan Shihe was also very concerned about Zou Yuanbiao. Like Zhao Youyuan, this guy was excused for illness. Zou Yuanbiao did not go to his post, and Zhao Youyuan did not return to the capital.

"Huh?" Zhu Yijun frowned, his murderous intention rising again.

Wan Shihe hurriedly said: "Zou Yuanbiao is in Huining Guard, and he is learning how to farm with Zhou Liangyin, military counselor of Huining Guard. Zou Yuanbiao has never touched Yangchun water, so naturally he doesn't know how to cultivate wasteland, so he naturally wants to learn it."

"Zhou Liangyin specially prepared a memorial and submitted it to the official department. Zou Yuanbiao has already learned some skills in cultivating fields."

"That's it." After hearing this, Zhu Yijun's expression became a little more relaxed. He said it would be fine if he learned to farm.

This can be regarded as a sign of submission, as long as you are willing to practice it. Zhou Liangyin is also a humble scholar. When he arrived at Daningwei, he also learned the farming method from Hou Yuzhao. Now he can be said to be loyal to the emperor and the country, second only to Hou Yuzhao. He is the second person in the country to reclaim wasteland.

Zhu Yijun farmed the land, and farming was not simple at all.

"Xitucheng..." Zhang Juzheng held a memorial and started with a look of disgust on his face. He really couldn't go on and passed the memorial directly.

Zhu Yijun flipped through the case files, shook his head repeatedly and said: "Our country, the Ming Dynasty, once the horses were released in Nanshan and Wen Tian was in martial arts, no matter what aspect, the level of regression and degradation was jaw-dropping."

Zhu Yijun had read this memorial, and his expression was exactly the same as that of Zhang Juzheng. He was a wealthy young man from Xitucheng. He laughed into Hu Ji's wine shop. To put it harshly, he was a member of the same group, and then he killed the person. This case later became a hot topic. When something bad happened, someone reported it to the official, and the Shuntian Mansion Yamen immediately became in trouble.

The composition of the orchids in the Ming Dynasty is relatively complex. There are Hailar on the grassland, Korea's Goryeo, wandering girls from the Japanese country, pearl divers from Luzon, and haenv. These orchids, in addition to making fun on the boat, are also used by others. Yazi is sold in major wine shops. The main focus of this place is to eat, drink and play with an exotic style.

The rich young men in Xitucheng had nothing to do after dinner. When they saw the beautiful Orchid on the street, they played too much and killed the man. The old madams demanded 20 taels of silver as compensation. The rich young men were not short of this money. I just can't afford to embarrass this person. The dignified young man is playing in your brothel to give you face. Don't give face and be shameless.

The three rich young men were stunned and refused to give it. There was another reason. According to their way of playing in Nanya, if the girl died, it was to disturb the distinguished guests and ask the brothel to apologize. When they arrived in the capital, they accidentally killed an Orchid. , and also chatted endlessly.

The matter is not over yet. The wealthy young men in the capital really can't stand it anymore. They don't even want to pay back 20 years of money, so why are they here to have fun!

It was easy to get started when the quarrel started, but once it started, it was a big fight. The wealthy young men themselves were not strong, but they all went out with their servants, and until the end of the fight, they completely smashed the old bustard's brothel.

The old bustard simply reported it to the official.

"How do those Zheshe households in Xitucheng teach their children principles? Three 15-year-old boys are so cruel!" Ma Ziqiang finished reading the memorial. He really didn't see it. He really embarrassed the three Zheshe households. .

Ma Ziqiang was born in a wealthy family in Shaanxi. Although he is not as good as Wang Chonggu, he is definitely worthy of the term "Zheshe household". Although his memory of his youth has been blurred, Ma Ziqiang still remembers his father's stick that was thicker than his thigh. He beat the filial son with the stick. In the universal values ​​of pampering and rebellious children, Ma Ziqiang was often beaten when he was a child. After he passed the examination to become a scholar, the stick disappeared.

These three young men from Xitucheng were beaten to death with two sticks when they were young, but they would not kill people in a brothel.

The family is unlucky, that's probably the case.

"If you continue to indulge like this, you will harm others and yourself sooner or later." Wan Shihe also said with great disgust.

Shuntian Prefecture really couldn't handle this case. On the one hand, it was the Kuo Shao from the capital, and on the other hand, it was the Kuo Shao who had migrated here. It really put the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, Yi O, in a very difficult position. The main reason was that the impact was really bad.

"This case is a bit complicated, so it's better to sort it out from the beginning. First of all, is this Hu Ji who was beaten to death considered a lowly citizen?" Wang Chonggu, as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, began to analyze the case. With the opening of the sea, the Ming Dynasty's judiciary also encountered some challenges. .

Whether the Hu Ji who was beaten to death is considered a lowly person is actually a determining factor as to whether she is from the Ming Dynasty.

If it is considered a lowly status, it is also a lowly status in the Ming Dynasty. Young Master Kuo of Xitucheng beat the lowly status to death, and even if he was given a lighter punishment, he would at least be exiled. Murder must be punished with a life, which is a matter of course.

If Hu Ji is not a lowly citizen, but a barbarian, and the wealthy young man of Xitucheng beats Hu Ji to death, he should pay compensation. 20 taels of silver is not much, and three rich young men can definitely get it, which is equivalent to a piece of gold. Hu Ji thinks it is part of property.

"Does it count?" Zhu Yijun looked at all the court officials.

The courtiers did not discuss too much about whether Hu Ji was considered a lowly citizen, but at the very least, compensation was inevitable. In addition to compensation, whether he should be charged with murder became a focus of debate.

"What does the Tang Code say?" Zhu Yijun asked Wan Shihe what the Tang Code stipulated.

Wan Shihe thought for a moment, then bowed his head and said: "For outsiders, those who are of the same kind and who offend each other should follow their own customary laws. Those who are different and who offend each other should follow the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

Wan Shihe helped Zhang Juzheng revise the "Daming Huidian". Ming Dynasty inherited the Tang system, so there were many legal provisions. Wan Shihe also checked the "Tang Liudian" and "Tang Lu Shuyi" to trace the source.

Foreigners are barbarians. The laws of the Tang Dynasty stipulate that if there is an attack on the same clan, it will be judged according to their customary laws. If it is an attack on another clan, it will be judged on the basis of Tang law.

Obviously, the three rich young men in Xitucheng who killed Hu Ji should be treated as crimes of different kinds, that is, according to the Ming law, the three rich young men in Xitucheng should be exiled.

Zhu Yijun discovered an interesting thing. Even in the dynasties of the Central Plains, even if there was a distinction between Huayi and Huayi, the law still recognized the fact that outsiders were also human beings, at least legally.

The new Confucian priest once stood outside the gate of Xi'an and angrily criticized Confucianism, saying that people are just people.

The laws of the Ming Dynasty also have similar provisions, but they are more clear. In the law, the outsiders and the Ming Dynasty's lowly people have the same status.
