The host is red and black, and the system can only chirp
Chapter 151: Zhenguan Law
The seventh day of the first lunar month in the second year of Zhenguan was Human Day.
Legend has it that this day is the birthday of mankind, and the deceased is respected. According to the customs at that time, not only can the government not execute criminals on this day, but parents cannot scold their children either.
.
Dugu Huai'en, Fu Gongju and others who attempted to murder the prince were executed, but the matter did not stop there.
Before Da Xia was founded, Sect Leader Xi offended both the black and white martial arts circles in Luoyang City. At that time, Hou Xibai abandoned Sect Leader Xi and joined the people from the Demon Sect.
Sect Leader Xi returned without taking any action.
She kept this person and Kankan because she thought that if Shi Zhixuan or the people from the Demon Sect wanted to disrupt the government one day, these two people might be able to play a key role.
Unexpectedly, Qian Qian was obsessed with power. This woman was extremely intelligent and had noticed early on that the emperor was unhappy with the frequent violations of the Demon Sect, so she cut ties with the Demon Sect in time.
Shi Zhixuan's direct disciple Hou Xibai also withstood the pressure and did not leak any information.
To everyone's surprise, the Crown Princess's brother, Changsun Anye, the son of Changsun Sheng, a minister of the Sui Dynasty, joined the game and actively conspired with officials of the previous dynasty in the capital.
The prince set out to attack Fu Gongju, but suddenly turned to Longxi on the way. This should have been unknown to many people. However, on his way back to the front line from Shandan Military Horse Farm, the prince was ambushed by the Demon Sect.
If it weren't for Yuchi Jingde, Kou Zhong and others who risked their lives to rescue him, the Prince of Daxia would have been dead.
The Demon Sect failed to anticipate that Yuchi Jingde and Kou Zhong were so powerful that they surpassed normal generals.
.
That's all.
The reason why Xi Mingming got angry and criticized the prince and his wife on the Human Day, a day not for disciplining children, was because Li Shimin and Guanyinbi were pleading for Zhangsun Anye.
Guanyin's maid pleaded: "An Ye's crime deserves death without pardon. But he has shown no mercy to me, and the world knows it. If I now sentence him severely, people will surely say that I relied on my favor to restore my brother. Isn't this a burden to the Holy Dynasty?"
This means that Changsun Anye deserves to die. But he treated me, the Crown Princess, badly in his early years, and everyone in the world knows it. If he is convicted of treason now, everyone will say that I, the Crown Princess, deliberately took revenge on him and brought disaster to the reputation of the court.
Xi Mingming knew Guanyinbi's worries, and he also knew the meaning behind her words.
Listen to what she said. Everyone in the world knows that Changsun Anye is not kind to her.
Changsun Anye drove the young Crown Princess and Minister Changsun Wuji out of the house, and it was their uncle Gao Shilian who raised them. Gao Shilian had previously served as an official under Xiao Xian and had just returned to Daxia.
If he doesn't say it and you don't say it, who will know?
Even if no one knew about it before, once the Crown Princess said this, everyone in the world knew about it.
The second meaning is that Li Shimin was only a prince, his surname was not Xi, and the rebellion and veto were initiated by the emperor.
.
Xi Mingming threw the "Zhenguan Law" promulgated at the end of last year to the couple kneeling on the ground.
"Guanyin, you must not have asked the other party before you came. If you had asked the assistant, he would not agree with your actions. Take it back and read it carefully, truly understand it, read it thoroughly, and then come and talk to me."
Knowing the law and breaking it is a more serious crime!
Zhangsun Wuji was one of the drafters of the Zhenguan Code.
In every dynasty, "treason" is the most serious of the ten evils. Changsun Wuji, at a time when his status was a little embarrassing, proposed that "treason" should be punished with caution.
This advanced concept of the rule of law is of epoch-making significance. Xi Mingming originally thought that she had to take the initiative to propose it.
Think about the end of the Sui Dynasty. Why did the rebels gain so much support and the common people could not survive?
Changsun Wuji advocated this method, and Xi Mingming was overjoyed and highly praised it. For this reason, he specially ordered the military equipment supervisor Hao Yun to forge a sword for him.
When the "Zhenguan Law" was formulated, Changsun Wuji could never have imagined that his brother, who was addicted to alcohol and did not work hard, would one day become so successful.
Look at Guanyin’s maid again, she is obsessed with the reputation of being virtuous.
.
Guanyin's maid held the "Zhenguan Code" in her hands, feeling very nervous.
Li Shimin reacted quickly and kowtowed to apologize: "Master, I value my reputation too much. We were wrong."
Xi Mingming stood up and said, "To bear the disgrace of the country is to be the master of the country; to bear the misfortune of the country is to be the king of the world. You ignore the laws of the country for the sake of reputation today, and tomorrow there will be ministers who dare to bring disaster to the country and the people for the sake of the royal family's face."
The emperor shoulders the weight of a country and must bear all the consequences, whether it is bad words from others or a national disaster.
Why fear what people say?
His Majesty the Emperor looked down at the two and asked in a deep voice, "Do you understand?"
It has to be said that if others were to see Xi Mingming at this moment, his majesty would be unfathomable.
Li Shimin is not an ordinary person.
He climbed up and approached Xi Mingming, pulling at the emperor's sleeve: "I know I was wrong, Master. We are not... Master, you killed your master, and I killed my own brother and my own brother. There is no way for us to escape this bad reputation as master and disciple."
Her husband's words frightened Guanyin so much that she turned pale.
As a wife, I know that my husband is close to His Majesty, and I also know that my husband has placed all the missing kinship with his elders on His Majesty.
But she really didn't know that her husband, as the crown prince, dared to speak to His Majesty without any scruples.
Everything in front of him, even if it was Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, the young man would not be so open.
(Xi Mingming: Or I could say this guy has a built-in sensory radar.)
Li Shimin was worried about his wife, who looked like a golden sheet of paper, and begged, "Master, please don't blame Guanyin. At that time, I was still the King of Qin of Li Tang..."
Li Shimin said softly, "She was poisoned for some reason. It was a secret poison from the previous dynasty, which could only have come from the palace. If Granny Guo had not been from the Dugu family, I dare not imagine what the consequences would have been. At that time, Guanyin rushed into the palace to seek justice from my father, and the one who died was the servant who warmed the wine that night."
Li Shimin tugged at his master's sleeve again: "Guanyin maid is different. She is a young woman and I am afraid she can't bear the criticism."
Humph, a little girl, can a little girl lay so many traps with just one sentence?
"Don't act like a child. Cheng Qian is more stable than a jerk like you." Xi Mingming pulled the sleeves from the prince's hand with disdain, turned to the princess and said calmly, "Get up."
Guanyin maid stood up obediently, and before lowering her head, she stole a glance at her husband. Not getting any hint, she stood aside quietly with her hands down.
Xi Mingming said solemnly: "Guanyin maid, you are now the Crown Princess, and you will be the Empress in the future. The Empress is as honored as the Emperor, worshipping the Heaven and Earth, inheriting the ancestral temple, and ruling the world as the mother."
His Majesty the Emperor said earnestly: "Half of the world is made up of women, and you are a role model for all of them. How you act affects half of the world's population, so you must understand the importance of being a mother in charge of the country."
Guanyin looked at her husband, and Li Shimin smiled brightly.
Langjun is really... very happy, even proud, to have a master and king like Your Majesty.
The Crown Princess did not show any more fear this time. She walked to the center again, bowed with her clothes lowered, and said, "I will obey your instructions."
Xi Mingming waved his hand, and Guanyinbi stood up, and she and Li Shimin accompanied His Majesty on the left and right.
Xi Mingming led the two of them out of the Zichen Palace to let the Crown Princess relax a little.
Xi Mingming chatted while walking, "Legalists believe that the court should impose heavy penalties on its subjects to maintain the absolute authority of the monarch. Confucianists advocate education as the main approach, support light penalties, and advocate that both moral constraints and legal penalties are equally important."
The essence of ancient Legalism was monarch-centeredness, which was actually very unfriendly to the lower classes of people.
"Each of them has its own reasons. For example, the Border Town Regulations are a harsh punishment for times of chaos, but they are not comprehensive. When we come to Daxia, it is time to rest and recuperate, so we should not restrict the people too much."
"Being lenient with the people does not mean that we can also be lenient with officials and emperors. On the contrary, it is precisely because the people have fewer constraints that the upper class should set an example."
"Shimin, Guanyinbi, remember that the king is also a human being, not a god. As a human being, he must be restrained. It can be morality or law. An emperor without restraint will be a disaster for all people in the world."
Just as they were going down the stairs, Li Shimin subconsciously reached out to help. When he stretched out his hand, he realized that his master was more agile than him.
The prince withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened. As long as I was not embarrassed, I would not be the one who was embarrassed.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally echoed His Majesty's words and agreed, "Just like the Sui Dynasty, from its peak to its demise, it only lasted a little over ten years."
Yang Guang was too arbitrary and would not tolerate any opposition from anyone.
"Yes. Therefore, even the emperor has many taboos that cannot be violated."
Now that the law has been promulgated throughout the country, how can the Crown Princess take the lead in violating it?
