Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 283 Lao Zhu's Concept of Legal System

Sanbao entrusted others to send Zhu Di off, and when he came back, he was full of worries. Why did his father arrange for His Royal Highness King Zhou to go to the naval army? This is not afraid of future crown prince disputes.

He didn't understand that in this royal family, there are always those who are not easy to get fuel, those who are restless and keep their own way, brothers and friends are very few.

At this time, Zhu Biao came over with a few potatoes and handed them to him to plant in the tank.

"The servant does not understand."

"Brothers fighting tigers, father and son are soldiers in battle. In fact, the fourth brother has no bad intentions." Zhu Biao took the small hoe from Jin'er and loosened the soil.

"Yes, the servant is guilty." Sanbao took the small hoe and slapped himself on the mouth.

"Three Treasures, there is no need to be like this. How is His Royal Highness King Qin doing at the Weaving Bureau these few days?"

Zhu Biao knew that Zhu Xi had a violent and impulsive temper, so it was best to put him in the weaving bureau and not to cause trouble.

"I heard that Daotong has to do everything again, which has delayed a lot of construction time." Sanbao replied.

"Understood." Zhu Biao wiped the dirt on his hands and entered the bedroom.

In the evening, Liu Bowen showed Zhu Biao the sample draft of the Daming Weekly, saying that Lao Zhurang brought it.

Zhu Biao, who had received the sample draft of the weekly report, read it several times, and found that there were no content in the usual sections this time, only the Ming Law, and a lot of commercial law science.

Lao Zhu made it so grand, the whole surface was covered with Ming law, and the back was some wild vegetable identification, planting and domestication written by Empress Ma.

What are the couple going to do? This time, the Ming Weekly wants to popularize the law and cultivate the concept of the legal system, but it is not wrong to squeeze the admission requirements of the National Academy of Scholars into a small corner.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty said that the crown prince is going, remember to take the crown princess with you." Liu Bowen laughed, the wrinkles on his face were almost crowded together.

He came back from Qingtian this time, and his wife also walked away from the ghost gate. Thanks to the doctors of His Royal Highness, Liu Bowen remembered this kindness in his heart.

Chang looked at the lanterns shaking outside, and brought him a cloak.At the end of February, the spring was cold, and looking at Chang, who was also wearing a cloak, Zhu Biao held her hand and said, "Father, Queen Mother told you to go, and now I will take you there. It's dark and the road is slippery, you have to hold on to the orphan." hand."

"The concubine should walk steadily and slowly, pay attention to her feet, and the concubine will follow His Highness." Chang smiled, helped Zhu Biao fasten his cloak and went out with a smile.

Zhu Biao smiled when he heard the words, and the two left the Changle Palace together.He really wanted to hurry up and ask what Lao Zhu and his wife meant, that they wanted the law and wild vegetables to dominate the Ming Weekly.

San Bao held the newly made iron pot by the National Scholars Academy and served it, with the box in his arms.

Empress Ma sat in the bedroom with Lao Zhu early and waited for Zhu Biao. He wanted to see how he would react when Zhu Biao came when he had made legal wild vegetables for his son's newspaper.

Lao Zhu took the ambergris, clumsily put it on a silver plate and lit it, and brought it to Empress Ma with a smile: "This is a good thing, sister, you can smell it too, it's very fragrant, Concubine Li Shu and Concubine Guo both like this."

"I've seen this fragrance before. My harem is too busy. I don't have time to appreciate these spices. The queen has the queen's business to do. Besides, the girl is still young, and I have to take care of her every day. You just don't understand." The coquettish stubborn donkey, I smell it all over, but it's useless."

Old Zhu chuckled, picked up Daming Lv in his hand and continued to look at it, giving up trying to persuade Empress Ma to taste the fragrance: "Yes, everything my sister says is right."

At this time, Zhu Biao and his wife walked in.

From Sanbao, Zhu Biao took out what he had brought from Minmin Timur, a sheepskin map showing the location of Chuanguo Yuxi in Luoyang.

"This is?"

"Exactly."

Lao Zhu got up and stared at the volume. After reading it for a long time, he took it over and unfolded it, and then handed it to Empress Ma for safekeeping.

Old Zhu asked: "Let's ask Liu Bowen to tell you about using the Ming Weekly to popularize the law. You have to agree if you don't agree."

Zhu Biao took the iron pot and nodded, suddenly smiled happily: "You are the emperor, you have the final say on this matter."

Empress Ma asked: "The Crown Princess is eating and sleeping well these few days. You are not in a good body to serve him, so you don't need to talk to him. Today, your father and I want to visit you and have a meal together."

"The courtiers and daughters-in-law all listen to the queen mother." Chang walked over and sat down beside Queen Ma: "His Royal Highness brought a small iron pot and said to eat hot pot."

While talking, Sanbao put the vegetables and beef prepared by Zhu Biao on the table.

Lao Zhu looked at the dishes Zhu Biao put, pointed at the meat and said, "Why is this beef?"

Zhu Biao hurriedly explained that it was a cow from Sinong Temple that died of old age naturally, and the meat was not tender, so it was originally kept in the East Palace to eat.Just when Lao Zhu called, he brought the pot over.

There is a charcoal fire on the lower layer of the iron pot, and the soup on it is homemade and very light.

Four people sat around the table, the iron pot was gurgling and steaming, and the maids and eunuchs were all outside the hall.

Zhu Biao put down the vegetables and meat, and was picking them up to put them in his mouth, when Old Zhu hit them with chopsticks, pointed at Chang Meirong and said, "You just cared about eating, starving your children and women to death?"

"Okay." Zhu Biao picked up a piece of beef, put it in the hot soup, and put it in Chang Meirong's bowl: "Hurry up and eat, or Father will beat me up again."

It was the first time for the Crown Princess to see Lao Zhu talking like this. She was usually a majestic emperor, but today she felt like eating like an ordinary person.

"Aren't you talking about business?" Empress Ma glanced at Lao Zhu who was off topic.

"Yes, we want to tell you that we have listed more than 200 clauses in total regarding the big patent you mentioned, and Liu Bowen has made additional revisions, and I will let Yu Yi show it to you."

Looking at the "Da Gao", Zhu Biao counted them carefully, and more than 150 of them involved punishing officials for corruption, and the corresponding punishments were also very harsh.

"We always feel that corrupt officials are enough to destroy a dynasty. What we need to consider is to strengthen the country and enrich the people. The people want to be rich. Not every court official is Bao Zheng. Some officials only care about satisfying their own greed, and some corrupt officials Defiled officials will gradually influence other officials, and collective favoritism and fraud are absolutely certain."

"So, more than 200 of the more than 100 articles of the father are aimed at officials." Zhu Biao got up to serve Lao Zhu and Queen Ma with soup, and helped Chang Meirong pick up meat and vegetables: "Corrupt officials must be punished. However, I still believe that the establishment of performance awards by the imperial court can promote officials to do their jobs.”

"If they go to exploit the people for political achievements, then we won't know whether the political achievements are true or not," Lao Zhu said.

"As long as the imperial court has someone to monitor it and check the truth with the common people every year, some of it can be eliminated."

No matter what is implemented, there will be a group of people who will take advantage of the loopholes, so keep this to a minimum.

"Why do we have more than 100 articles aimed at punishing officials for corruption? Why are high-ranking officials corrupt? Because those small officials give money, and for small officials, it's the dirty officials who give money. This is the root cause of this." Lao Zhu drank Koutang said: "Look for it, we have one in here, see if you can find it. This one is also the one that can wipe out corrupt officials the most."

Regarding Zhu Biao's premise of the great edict for several months, Lao Zhu thought about it carefully, and he had to grind it with Li Shanchang and the others several times, and changed it several times before he was satisfied.

Lao Zhu is setting up a question for himself again, to find the one he is most satisfied with out of more than 200, and the most effective and influential one, this is to confuse him.
