"Yes, this is the ancestor's system that cannot be violated!" "That is, it is a great disobedience to violate the ancestor's system!"

A sound rang around.

Hearing this, Yang Feng sneered and raised his voice and said, "All those who say that the ancestor system cannot be violated will stand up for me and say it again in front of me and Your Majesty."

Looking at Yang Feng's sharp gaze and the invisible pressure emitted from his body, most of the officials around him remained silent, but some were silent and some were unbelievable.

"Come out!"

"I'm still afraid that you won't succeed!"

There were really a strong man, and four or five officials soon stood out from the officials' team. Su Tong looked at it and found that most of these people were young, and they were all green and green robes, and none of them were blush robes.

Seeing this, Yang Feng felt at ease and glanced at them, "Isn't it the ancestral system you just mentioned?"

“That’s right!”

A young official wearing a green robe and a Xizhi embroidered on his chest stepped forward and looked at Yang Feng and sneered: "That sentence is exactly what Xiaguan said. What advice does Duke Xinguo have? Could it be that he still imagined that he would beat Xiaguan like he was just now?"

"Who are you?"

"Cui Yingguang, the clerk of the Six Chronicles of the Xiaguan."

Cui Yingguang raised his chest and looked at Yang Feng. At this time, he was like the warrior slaying dragons in a Western story, with passion surging his chest.

Now he questioned Yang Feng in front of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court. If he could really refute Yang Feng speechlessly or even let His Majesty take him down, then he would become famous. If he might not immediately fall into the eyes of the emperor and all the important officials, he would become a famous scholar who is respected by the world and not afraid of power.

"Cui Yingguang, right?" Yang Feng nodded and suddenly asked, "Okay... Lord Cui is indeed a loyal man."

After saying that, he turned to Zhu Youxiao and shouted: "Your Majesty, Lord Cui Yingguang suggested that Your Majesty reply to all the ancestral system, and requested the reprint of the "Great Edict" and promulgate the world so that all the people and officials in the world can have a copy. In this way, the world will be peaceful!"

"What!"

Zhu Youjian was stunned, Wei Zhongxian was stunned, and all the officials in the Golden Palace were stunned.

"coax……"

A sensation even greater than the complaints about Wei Zhongxian's work as a whole and paying food was heard in the Golden Palace. Almost all the officials' faces suddenly turned pale, and even the three big bosses, Sun Chengzong, Zhu Guozhen and Han Du, were scared very much.

What is a great edict?

This is a criminal code written by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and was released in November of the 18th year of Hongwu in the early Ming Dynasty (1385 AD). In this Xingdian, Comrade Zhu sorted out major cases of corruption in the past few years and released it to the whole country in the form of imperial edicts, warning officials not to repeat the same mistakes.

This Xingdian is the most complete and harshest code in feudal society. It has reached its peak in its constraints on officials. It has set up various criminal laws for the mistakes made by officials.

These include various criminal laws such as foot slashing, toe cutting, knee removal, castration, cutting hands, chopping fingers, picking tendons, clan punishment, slanting, beheading heads, and even peeling and filling grass. Many of them were first created by Comrade Lao Zhu, which can be regarded as the most unfriendly Xing Dian to officials in China for five thousand years.

Its punishment starts very low. An official will be punished with seventy penalties if he greedy for one tael of silver. In the future, he will be punished with one ounce of every five taels of silver. Fifty taels of silver can be sentenced to death. If the amount of greedy for more than eighty taels of silver, congratulations, the criminal law of peeling and filling up grass is waiting for you. This alone is enough to scare most people's courage.

For example, in the 19th year of Hongwu, Comrade Zhu assigned a total of 364 newly promoted Jinshi to all parts of the country to serve as officials. A year later, six of these officials were killed, and 358 of them were exiled or sentenced to other punishments, none of them were spared.

This shows how harsh this Xing Dian is.

Perhaps some people say that Xing Dian, such a strict person, should be able to stop corruption?

Sorry, even such a severe criminal law cannot stop the officials' continuous corruption. Some people may say that since such a severe criminal law cannot stop the officials' corruption, is this Xing Dian useful?

The author can tell him that it is indeed useful, because during the Hongwu Dynasty, the degree of corruption among Ming officials was the lowest in the history of the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years, which was enough.

But as the saying goes, Xiao He succeeded and defeated Xiao He. After Comrade Zhu's death, this Xing Dian was thrown into the garbage dump by his descendants. After the Jiajing period, most people and some officials no longer knew about the Xing Dian, the "Great Edict".

Now Yang Feng suddenly proposed that these officials were immediately out of trouble. Compared to the one who is in charge of the same, this "Great Edict" is a hundred times more vicious. If it is to say that one who is in charge of the same, it is to steal their money and food, this "Great Edict is to directly take their lives, or to peel them into grass.

"Your Majesty, Lord Cui Yingguang, the clerk of the Six Chronicles, wrote a letter to ask Your Majesty to re-publish the "Great Edict" compiled by Taizu and publish it all over the world. I believe that Lord Cui is loyal to the country, loyal to Your Majesty and loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty should order and praise him and approve his report."

Cui Yingguang's face was not enough to describe it at this moment, and it was more appropriate to describe it as pale. His mind was blank, and he shouted like a conditioned reflex of knowledge in his mouth: "No, I don't. Your Majesty, I didn't propose to reprint the great edict!"

Su Tong shouted in his ear: "I still said no, who said just now that the ancestral system cannot be violated. Is it very unfilial to violate the ancestral system?"

"It's not me... I didn't say it, it's them... they said it." Cui Yingguang pointed his hand at the colleagues who had just stood up with him. The colleagues who were still very excited were all scared and took several steps as if they had seen a ghost. "No, we didn't say anything just now."

"You...you..." Cui Yingguang pointed his right hand at several colleagues, suddenly rolled his eyes, and collapsed to the ground softly.

"Come on, save people..."

There was another panic. Two eunuchs ran over, one held him, and the other pinched the other. After a while, Cui Yingguang finally woke up, but after waking up, his eyes were dissipated, and a strange smile appeared on his face. While laughing, he shouted to the person: "I didn't say... This is not what I said, the ancestor system cannot be violated, it is not what I said, I didn't say..."

He was shouting while running around in the Golden Palace. Seeing this, the general next to him came over and held him down. Cui Yingguang, who was pressed down, was not honest and still shouted.

Seeing this, all the officials gasped, and this person was scared crazy...
