(Acao is here in Acao with violent storms, thunder and lightning, and the weather is a bit scary. Acao didn’t dare to turn on the computer. Tonight’s update must have been delayed. I apologize to everyone.)
After touring the Wang family's residence, Li Po did not stay any longer.
I just asked in the main hall of the Wang family's house how the preparations for the revision of Sui's laws were going.
Wang Cong took a breath before giving Li Po some suggestions.
One is that he needs a name. With Li Po's current position as the Commander-in-Chief of the March in Daizhou, if he wants to publicly revise the Sui Code, he is afraid that it will make people laugh, which will be detrimental to Li Po's reputation.
Secondly, this is not Wang's business alone. He wants Li Po to recruit talents to revise the law together.
Of course, there is no need to mention who will host it. Wang will definitely not give up this position to anyone else.
The third issue is time. According to Wang Cong's rough estimate, the preparation, correction, or even re-revision of the law cannot be completed in a short time.
This will be a long and boring process, which may take several years or may take ten years.
Of course, the completion of the compilation of the law will not be the end, because the newly revised law must take time to test its correctness. In particular, it cannot be tolerated and must be revised from time to time in order to make the law more perfect.
Complete.
You must know that the laws of the Sui Dynasty, from the formulation to the promulgation to the world, were actually soaked in the efforts of Emperor Wen, the emperor and even the famous officials under Emperor Wen.
In fact, until the Daye period, the Sui laws were either strict or loose, with ups and downs. Naturally, the emotions and temperaments of Emperor Wen and his son played a role in this, but it was also because the Sui laws often had loopholes and everyone made up for them from time to time.
in.
That was twenty or thirty years, so the revision of the law did not happen overnight.
What Wang Cong meant was that he wanted Li Po to be mentally prepared and not to rush for success.
The advice is inevitably exaggerated, but it is relatively pertinent. Of course, anyone can hear the meaning of self-protection in it.
After that, they talked about it bits and pieces. It is estimated that this is the result of the discussion among the Wang family during this period of time. After Li Po listened, he stared at Wang Cong in silence for a long time.
He couldn't say he was very satisfied.
The exaggeration in what Wang Cong said is that this is a modification of the relatively complete Sui law, rather than changing the Sui law beyond recognition.
This is a matter of people planting trees and maintaining them for future generations. It is different from planting a new sapling.
What was the situation faced by the Sui Dynasty when it unified the world? The laws of each prince were different. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, was a man of great talent and a very confident emperor.
Therefore, he made drastic changes to the laws established by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. As he ruled the world, his manpower and material resources were unparalleled by others. Can the situation be the same as now?
This comparison is very inappropriate. Did the Wang family fail to understand his intention? No, if they were so stupid, where would the Jinyang Wang family have a foothold in the world today?
Maybe it was Wang's ambition that was at work, or maybe he wanted to give him some grace.
In fact, this is what makes the wealthy and powerful families so annoying. It’s okay to have selfishness and justice entangled together. Li Po has always believed that people without selfishness are more terrifying, but if selfishness overwhelms justice, in the face of major events,
It becomes very dangerous to use these people.
In other words, they tend to mess up some big things.
Just like now, how important is it to revise the law? It can be said to be a huge event that affects everyone under Li Po's rule.
It was Li Po's helpless move to hand it over to the Wang family, but it could not but be said to be a heavy responsibility entrusted to him.
But there were so many private goods mixed in... He wanted not to hurt the branches and leaves, but he also wanted to take advantage of them. The faces of the Jin clan gradually became ugly in Li Po's eyes.
Especially the name that Wang Cong mentioned...Does he really want this name, or is he unwilling to rush ahead of the Wang family? This is almost a question that doesn't need to be asked.
You can almost smell the rancid smell of the family in every sentence, which makes Li Po feel that this trip is really a waste of time and emotion.
But there is no truth in what Wang Cong said.
It is indeed a slow process to revise the Sui code more comprehensively, and it does require the efforts of many people. In this way, a name is indeed needed.
One step after another, Wang thought very carefully.
The problem is that Li Po never showed any intention to make a big show of it. What he wanted was to revise the criminal law first and then talk about other things.
The hall fell silent, and the sound of the north wind blowing outside could be heard clearly.
Yu Wenxin closed his mouth tightly. He didn't quite understand the cause and effect. He just felt the danger with his years of experience as an official and the teachings he had received since childhood.
Revising the Sui Dynasty Code is not a trivial matter. After hearing this, he was shocked. He no longer doubted how big this man's "ambition" was.
And the bigger the event, the more dangerous it is.
Wang's new descendant is obviously not among Li Yun's inner circle, but he has to be entrusted with such a big thing, which makes it even more dangerous.
At this moment, let alone letting him speak to save the Wang family, he already regretted his decision to marry Wang's daughter.
He didn't want to get involved in this matter at all. No matter how many opportunities and benefits it contained, he, Yu Wenxin, had nothing to do with it.
Wang Cong was undoubtedly a calm person, but he still felt a chill down his spine from that faint look.
In fact, he also understood that there must be something inappropriate in what he just said, and it was contrary to the intention of the person in front of him, but people in the Wang family pay attention to being honest and dignified in their actions.
When such a major matter is put in the hands of the Wang family, it is natural to make a certain appearance. The general manager is young and will inevitably have some carelessness, and he needs Wang's assistance.
If you don't have that broad-mindedness, you might as well not do this...
I don't know how much time passed before Li Pocai slammed the table and laughed.
"A thousand-year-old wealthy family truly deserves its reputation."
This is the second time he has said this today. The first time may have been sincere, affirming Wang's background, but this second time...
Yu Wenxin felt a toothache just listening to the sarcastic tone.
Without allowing Wang Cong to speak in his slow tone, Li Po stood up and spoke in a gentle tone.
"In today's world... everyone is at war with others and competing for supremacy. No one is willing to do something practical that benefits the people... Let me tell you something unpleasant."
"It's been several months since I entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility, right? We have negotiated such a result? Now that the world is in chaos, and the two states are in dire straits waiting to be revitalized, this proposal cannot be said to be urgent for my needs.
Even if you go to Daizhou and randomly invite people to come over, you will still be worried. It turns out that it will take more than ten or twenty years to live a peaceful life?"
"Then what kind of laws are there to be revised? Wouldn't it be better to just use the Sui laws?"
"Let me tell you this... The Wang family, which has been a powerful family for thousands of years, has no responsibility at all. It is really disappointing. They say everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world..."
"When I was in the Mayi Mountains, I saw the refugees eating human flesh. In Hebei, I saw the emperor who was extravagant and lustful, treating the soldiers and soldiers like grass seeds. I also saw how a million-strong army poisoned the place. When I was in Liaodong, the emperor acted like a fool.
In the siege battle, hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated and all kinds of tragedies were seen."
"When I returned to Mayi, what did I see? The Turks swarmed south, attacking the city and destroying the stronghold. Everything they passed was a scorched earth. Speaking of which, all I want from my expeditions to the north and south until now is to find a way for myself to survive.
It’s just to give the people here a way to survive.”
"Wang...hehe, sitting in Jinyang, he has no reputation as a famous family in Jin. Unfortunately, before, he only heard of his name and didn't get any help. Now he knows the reason... What you see before your eyes
If it’s just a little bit of something, what else is there to say?”
Li Po's tone became more and more serious, he almost tore Wang's face to the ground and stepped on it with two more feet.
He walked a few steps in the hall, came to Wang Cong, and said condescendingly: "For the sake of the thousand-year-old wealthy family, which has produced many heroes, I will give Wang another chance to choose a shrewd and capable person.
Someone will come out to take charge of the revision of Sui laws in your place."
Having said this, Li Po clasped his fists and turned to leave, but his voice still lingered in the hall.
"Ms. Wang now has no other choice but to help me achieve my goal, so why should I hesitate anymore? Those who cherish feathers are not having a good time these days. I originally intended to preserve the former garden residence of this thousand-year-old noble family, but you have to be willing.
no?"
"In ten days, let the new lord of the clan come to my house to discuss matters. Otherwise, there will no longer be a King of Jinyang in Jin."
At this time, Yu Wenxin glanced at Wang Cong, who was sitting there with a trembling body, with a very bad expression, and quickly chased him out without saying a word.
This was something big, Yu Wenxin was thinking in his heart like lightning.
He caught up with Li Po and walked for a while, waving his hands to drive away Wang's servants. He ignored Xue Wanche and others who were right next to him and said in a low voice: "Manager, Wang's tree has big roots and deep roots. I'm afraid there will be a recurrence. Do you want to send troops first...
…”
Li Po laughed. Yu Wenxin... how should I put it? I should say that this person is one of the heroes of the world, right?
Ruthless and cunning, he is willing to throw away almost everything for power...
In comparison, it seems that people in the Wang family are more humane.
"If Mrs. Wang had the guts, Li Yuan and his son would have been killed by them long ago, and we wouldn't be able to reach Jinyang City. Just watch. I think Mrs. Wang will soon have a new face to take charge. Do you want to talk to me?
A gamble?"
The meaning behind the words was nothing to Yu Wenxin now. He just listened to the tone of Li Po's words and felt greatly relieved.
In the blink of an eye, Li Po's voice sounded in his ears again.
"Go back and have a few drinks with your...Wang Cong, and try to persuade him so that he doesn't get so angry. He's already so old, why are you still bothering him?"
Yu Wenxin opened his mouth wide, wanting to cry but without tears.
