Chapter 35 Going deep behind enemy lines (1)

"I ask you again, do you still remember what I said after reading this ancient text?" Zhu Yunxiu asked.

Xie Jin did not hesitate, "At that time, the emperor was very happy with the scholars who taught in Wenhua Palace. The law should be shared with the world. If this is not the case, it would be unfair to share it. The emperor also said at that time that my education was

He governed the country on behalf of his ancestors. The Emperor Shizu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Tang and Emperor Song Dynasty also often said that I share the law with the world.”

"Your Majesty, you also said that only by consciously abide by the law can the monarch become a model for his subjects."

"Good memory!" Zhu Yunxiu praised again, "Do you still remember what the speaker of Mr. Liu Sanwu said?"

"Liu Xueshi said, Your Highness said very well, but wise monarchs throughout the dynasties all knew this method, but they had no prosperous country and country. This is because the laws of the ancestors were never able to control future generations. However, the abuse of the emperor's power may be very envoyed.

Loss of virtue. Therefore, the king not only needs to share the law, but also respect."

"At that time, Mr. Liu also quoted an article on the Book of Rites and Movements. Etiquette is the meaning of heaven and earth, and the actions of the people. The scriptures of heaven and earth are the real ones."

"I still remember that the emperor smiled after hearing this. He said, "Etiquette and law are all natural and righteous!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled, looking at Xie Jin with a gentle look, but in a blink of an eye, he turned serious again as he looked at the ministers.

"Liu Sanwu told me that it is natural for emperors to observe etiquette and law, but in order to prevent emperors from abuse of imperial power, there are censors and loyal ministers to advise."

"Being a good emperor, power must be limited."

"I, the emperor, will be restricted. Why are you restricted? I am afraid that an emperor like me will lose the hearts of the people!"

"So who will restrict the officials like you?"

The ministers were shocked, and the emperor's words were at the critical point.

"It is not enough to govern the world by the emperor. What if the emperor is a tyrant? It is not enough to rely on the scholars and officials alone. What if the ministers have no moral integrity or morality?"

"The Confucian ministers think that the king and the literati share the world. Although the Ming Dynasty said that they would not do this, in fact, whether I or the emperors in the future, they cannot do without the literati and officials, and they all have to give them power.

.”

"If you say something bad, the emperor is nothing? I have left the Forbidden City, but it is not. How many things can I manage by myself? How many people can I manage? Even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't cure such a big country. So I have to use the scholars and doctors,

We must give the power that God gave me to me and give it to the scholars and officials."

"My power should be restricted, so what about the power of the literati?"

"Why are there always things like Jurong County in the world? Why do ordinary people hate some literati and officials? Is it true that they don't follow the law? I'm right?"

Zhu Yunxiu paused for a moment and looked at the reactions of the ministers.

"The Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, Censorate, Censor, Director of the Censorate, and the Six Departments. So many officials in the yamen and so many officials have their own duties. However, if they have not completed their principles!"

They all have their own duties, but they have not fulfilled their responsibilities!

This sentence immediately shocked the ministers.

"It's not just that you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities, but you're not even afraid!" Zhu Yunxiu continued with a cold face, "No one is afraid! Because you don't know what they do, why don't you know, because

All of you are officials in your own way.”

"Officials say things to me, who will the people tell me?"

"Since I ascended the throne, I have changed the old man's previous strict punishments and laws. I will not peel off my skin and kill the whole family, and I will not kill the nine clans. Therefore, coupled with the fact that the people have no way to speak, they are brave and dare to do anything

.”

"Today, I will be in vain for personal gain and neglect my duties, and tomorrow I will be corrupt and bribes and sell official positions."

"Don't just say something alarmist because of my striking words. It is important to know that a thousand-mile dike collapses into an ant hole!"

"Liu Sanwu's legacy to me said that if Your Majesty is eager for quick success and instant benefits, there will be many cruel officials in the world."

"But if Your Majesty blindly seeking benevolence, there will be many corrupt people in the world!"

"It's very difficult for me to do it. It's not enough to be strict, and it's not enough to let it go. I'm not a founding lord like the Supreme Emperor, so I won't be ruthless in killing scholars and officials."

"Tell me, how can you manage the scholars and officials in the world?"

The ministers agreed, no one spoke out.

"I have been thinking about this question for a long time, but I can't figure it out." Zhu Yunyu continued with his hands behind his back, "But just a few days ago, when I thought about the articles I learned when I was studying, I had the answer in my heart."

"The imperial power is granted by heaven, and this heaven refers to the hearts of the people."

"And the power of the scholars and officials is given by me, so I will use the hearts of the people to govern the scholars and officials."

"Isn't some people dislike the people and sue the officials? In my opinion, those who dislike must be guilty. Otherwise, if they have a clear conscience in their hearts, who would be afraid?"

"So I want to set up another yamen to supervise the officials in the world."

"The staff was drawn from the Dali Temple Censorate and the Jinyiwei of the Ministry of Justice to form a new yamen. The Thirteen Censors of the Ming Dynasty were all under the jurisdiction. They could not be investigated by the local officials, and they could be investigated. They could be reported by the people and specifically investigated the unfairness of the world.

, investigate the abuse of power, power and abuse of power in officials."

Zhu Yunxi's words were loud and unquestionable.

"I know that I have a new yamen, and I have a lot to say, but today I am still arbitrary and not allowed to speak."

"It's not that I doubt my subordinates and regard them as enemies."

"There are more good officials in the world, and generally speaking, there are more good officials. But you can't indulge those evil officials who have lost the hearts of the Ming people just because they have many good officials."

"In this way, it is not only unfair to the people, but also unfair to good officials."

"Supervision, constraint, investigation, and disposal are handled by this yamen. At the same time, the Ministry of Justice Dali Temple and other departments can also supervise and restrain this yamen."

"In the future, I will not do any serious laws such as skinning and cramping. I will find out that the officials are guilty and deal with them with the law. I will either behead, hang, exile, and be exiled to the army. I will confiscate the property and punish the descendants for three generations of not allowing the imperial examinations!"

"If there is a lawsuit from the people and it is verified that it is a false accusation, then the same is true."

"The false accuser confiscates his property, his descendants are not allowed to take the imperial examination, and his land is confiscated and his family is sent to Luzon."

"I mentioned this to the Supreme Emperor before. The old man said that as long as they are officials, they will eventually become a self-checking person."

"At that time, it will still be superficial. Not only will you check yourself, but it will become a means for the ministers to fight and share the same thing."

"At that time, I was not the crown prince, but I am the emperor now."

"I can't control myself a hundred years later. If I'm in power for one day, I won't check myself."

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu turned around, carried the hem of the dragon robe, and walked towards the dragon throne again.

"The name of this new yamen is called the Integrity Yuan, which is on par with the six ministries. The first minister, Bao Zhao, was appointed as the minister of the minister, and was appointed by the commander of the Jinyiwei."

At this time, Zhu Yunxiu happened to walk to the front of the dragon throne and turned to look at the ministers in the hall, "I will not allow the law to be unfair for one day!"

~~~

The court will disperse, and the ministers left the Forbidden City in a complicated mood.

Zhu Yunqiu did not sit on the carriage, but walked towards Le Zhizhai with great strides.

As soon as I passed through the moon gate in the imperial garden, I happened to see the queen with Mei Lianxin and several palace servants holding boxes and coming here.

"Why are you here?" Perhaps because he talked too much, Zhu Yun's throat felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Ning'er first bowed, then smiled and said, "This is the special product hazelnuts and pine nuts that King Yan of Liao and King Yan paid tribute to him during the autumn. I know that the emperor used to love eating pine nuts, so I asked someone to send them!"

As he said that, he said, "Besides, today is also the day when Liujin enters Wenhua Palace to study. I always have to talk to the emperor!"

Zhu Yunxiu stopped, leaned against the white marble railing in the pond, and smiled, "Did you send it to me in the morning?"

"It was sent by me, but before I could reach Wenhua Palace, I was blocked by Gao Xunzhi and Zhang Xianzong. I shouted in the distance between two doors, and when the Empress was there, I never entered Wenhua Palace. What did you say? Foreign ministers dare not see the queen without authorization... It's really angering me!"

"Haha!" Zhu Yunxiu laughed, "What are you doing like those nerds?" He said, looking around, "You must do what I have to tell you!"
