The snow is strong and the wind is strong, and the sky and the earth are vast.
The palace is majestic, and when you look back, you can see even more solemnity.
The three adults didn't leave quickly. Today's matter is a bit big and needs time to be digested.
Move the Great Ming Law?!
How do you say this? Are courtiers the only ones who do not respect the laws of the Ming Dynasty? No! Jinyiwei or Dongchang, which one respects the law?
The emperor and the queen are smart because they always act within the scope of the law! Before the law was revised, the Jinyiwei became the Imperial Guard, and Dongchang - it is said that it was disbanded.
Anyway, it was gone, and I don’t know how it was placed. When it was discovered, except for Chen Fa and dozens of people who were in and out of the palace as servants, other people and forces in the East Factory were missing.
Even the Dongchang Yamen is now owned by the Detachment of Women.
The royal family's past history of not respecting the law has disappeared. Then, the queen's implicit meaning was that it was time to amend the law.
This makes people feel like: "..." I want to curse.
Maybe you don’t support changing the law, so what should you do? There are so many people in the labor camp, they all have to be killed! Moreover, the methods of death are different.
For example, Lingchi is a kind of dead hair, and Xiaoshou is a kind of death.
There is another way to die called cutting in half. This thing is cruel! It means cutting the person in half from the middle. Why is this thing cruel? Because the position of cutting in half determines the amount of pain a person endures before death. If money is given
If it's in place, so that people can suffer less, then put the execution position a little higher, and hit it like that on the chest, and the person will die with a bang, without suffering. But if you choose the position below the belly button to hit it, it will be bad!
If the internal organs are not damaged, the person will not die for a while, so shouldn't the crime be forced to die?
These are all common punishments, and they are also used as straw... If it is carried out seriously, 90% of the officials in the world will have to suffer this punishment. Really! Use straw as scarecrows, and there are a lot of them all over the Ming Dynasty.
There are also flogging, staff, disciple, flow, exile, shackles, tattoos, redemption, etc. In addition, there is also killing of corpses!
If we really want to implement it so strictly, who will everyone in the world blame?
The emperor and queen would say that they had wanted to change it for a long time and had been making changes, but the ministers were unwilling.
After all, where is the benevolence of the emperor? You can easily get away with the death penalty! Unless you really deserve to die, others will wait for you even if they lock you up for the rest of your life, but they don’t want to kill you. Of course, some criminals are not allowed to see their families.
But even if you don't kill, this kind of not being allowed to see your family becomes part of the punishment.
If we only look at this part, should this law be changed?
Change! They also support the change!
Therefore, they cannot say anything unsupportive.
But if they support the modification, they always feel like something is wrong?!
None of the three people spoke, and each went his own way. After returning to the mission room, Ye Xianggao sat still, thinking about this matter. In fact, if the emperor mentioned it, this matter would be nothing. From the beginning to the completion of the Ming Dynasty Law,
It has been revised again and again. But even so, it is still being revised. In the 13th year of Hongzhi, it was revised once, and 279 articles were added. In the 29th year of Jiajing, it was revised again, and three more articles were added.
One hundred and seventy-six articles. The most recent revision was in the thirteenth year of Wanli, and another 382 articles were added. Later generations only added some on the original basis, preserving the original Ming law, and the two went hand in hand.
But this time is different. I want to make major changes. But because the name has been changed before, the emperor just mentioned it and wanted to change the punishment. So who would disagree?
No! Everyone will agree to this modification.
It's quite an easy thing, but it's still troublesome if the Queen mentions it.
What should we do now? Take the initiative and ask the emperor: What do you want to do?
No! Don’t go! Let’s put it off until after the New Year.
The fourth master waited until he didn't come, and waited and didn't see him coming. He was hiding and dragging, right?
What are you dreaming about?!
He said, "This year's affairs have been completed this year. Anyone who still has unfinished errands will be included in the assessment. In addition, the annual subsidy will also be deducted. For those who really cannot be completed due to objective reasons, write a statement.
I stamped my seal and followed the settlement."
As soon as these words were passed on, everyone immediately panicked. Money is one thing, but the key is that what is written in the assessment will affect promotion.
There are people in each province and department of the Senate who are in charge of this. They were as anxious as a cat scratching their paws. They went to the Ministry of Rites to ask for it, but the Ministry of Rites said they didn’t know about it!
Someone wrote a petition, saying that there has been no approval. Anyway, it is not a big deal! It is not a problem to be three to five months late for commendation. I think that once the emperor stamps it, we can prepare for the New Year.
Okay, I'll be satisfied with all kinds of food, a lot of money, and an average or above mark in the exam.
As a result, the emperor did not stamp it, but only replied: The queen has approved it, and the Ministry of Etiquette will handle it.
Ah? What’s going on with this Ministry of Etiquette?
So fifteen people related to the department rushed over at once.
How to do this? I can’t hide it anymore!
Give it! Give it! Send it on.
They each took it back, only to find that it was not allowed.
But the Senate doesn't care whether the Queen approves it or not. They only care about whether it is completed or not.
That's done. I've thrown away my errands for this year. Each person received five jins of mutton, five jins of Inner Mongolian beef, three jins of pork, three jins of polished rice, and five jins of flour. Then each person received five taels of silver and went home.
There are only a few things that have not been completed, so hurry up and deal with them so that you can go home and celebrate the New Year.
After collecting the things and walking back, a group of people stood at the gate of the palace waiting for the carriage. They were all small officials and officials. Their homes were outside the city, so weren't they all waiting here for the carriage?
In order to keep them waiting for the bus from the cold, two tents were set up here. It was windy and snowy, so they could take shelter inside.
Lin Rui and Lin Lang lived in the city. After the last carriage arrived, they were not in a hurry to get on. Other colleagues who lived outside the city followed them to get on the carriage first.
As soon as that group left, another group came in. Listening to their words, they sounded like members of the Senate.
The two of them pulled up their fur collars, covering half of their faces. Because they were the queen's cousins and the emperor's brother-in-law, they were not often sent to run errands even when walking in front of the emperor. They were not familiar with others, but
There is no guarantee that someone has seen them.
The two of them covered their faces and listened to these people talking together while carrying things on their backs.
This is just an inconsequential issue, and the Ministry of Rites just suppressed it. I wonder if we have offended the Ministry of Rites again and asked others to stumble us.
The one who said, who knows why? Maybe it’s because of a lack of reputation. Shandong handed over three coupons, but none of them were approved.
No! Even the five copies in Henan were not approved.
No, Zhejiang Qifen didn't approve it. I was wondering if something happened to the governor there. We were all huddled together talking to each other, but I found out that the queen didn't approve even a single thing.
Then they all fell silent, looking at each other, not daring to speak.
I'm afraid something happened!
The Ministry of Rites wanted to hide it, but the emperor found a way to expose it. It’s over! Something big has happened!
Some people complained, "Why hasn't the car come yet?"
Yes! Why aren't you here yet?
Some people couldn't wait any longer and said, "Forget it, let's walk a few steps and let's pay for a car." Everyone worked together, but it didn't cost much?!
Yes, yes! Leave quickly! We are just small people, we have to celebrate the New Year, and it has nothing to do with us if the sky falls.
They talked nonsense, and after realizing that they might have discovered some kind of secret, they ran away.
In a blink of an eye, these two brothers were the only ones left.
The two of them each carried a copy, looked at each other, and felt that they had to tell their elders when they went back. In fact, they knew a little more. That was the day they went to deliver the book to the emperor. When they entered and left the main hall, they could hear the news in the west study room.
Here, the Queen's voice scolds the ministers.
Half of the main hall was occupied by waiters. Even if they were delivering things, they didn't dare to stay inside. They came and went in a hurry, and really only listened once. At that time, I didn't know who the queen was scolding. But as long as you pay attention, you will find that that day
The snow was heavy, so it was really only Mr. Ye Ge who took two ministerial books with him.
So, who could the queen scold?
If you reprimand someone who is serving you closely, it is not as bad as reprimanding someone in front of you.
They only told Lin Yu about this matter when they got back. The three brothers knew about it, so they didn't dare to tell the elders in the family. They were really afraid of scaring people! But seeing this, they still had to tell it when they went back.
The Queen's situation is closely related to the Lin family's fortune.
The carriage came with jingling bells, and as they were leaving, a group of people happened to get on the carriage. They were all crowded in the carriage, and they were all praising the meat this time, and they didn't hear anything else being said.
The two got off the car at an intersection closer to their home, and then watched the carriage leave before leaving. The carriage was gone, and they could still hear someone asking: "Whose mansion is here? Why do you get off the car here?"
"Uncle Cheng'en's family!"
"Are those two uncles?"
"Eighty percent yes!"
The two of them sighed inwardly, look! That's it! In the eyes of others, they are the uncles of the country.
In fact, the mansion is quite low-key, with only a few servants serving it. The only comfortable thing is that the room is really warm. When the house was given, the queen must have helped choose it! The female family members are at home, so it is not cold in winter.
As soon as they got home, their things were picked up by servants. The two of them went to the main courtyard first, and they could hear laughter from a distance.
Lin Yu opened the curtain to pick them up, "The pots are all on the shelves. We're just waiting for our brothers to come back so we can have dinner."
No, the whole family is here!
Separated from the bead curtain, the female family members were inside. The second lady poked her head out mischievously, laughing, "The noses are all red!"
No! It's freezing to death.
Lin Baowen felt that he had not been so happy in decades. He stayed with his parents, his brother and nephew, "Only Sanniang is not here. If Sanniang is here, our family will be complete. It is really time to get together for a reunion dinner."
For food.”
Lin Rui was about to sit down, but his movements froze: Sanniang... Although every time we get along, she feels that she is almost the same as Erniang, our sister. But she is really more than just our daughter! Didn't you hear her?
Reprimand the cabinet minister! That voice is scary.
Lin Lang sat down and called out: "Uncle!"
Well! Uncle is here, talking.
Lin Lang glanced at his eldest brother and then said, "There's something that needs to be said. We two think we have to talk about it."
Lin Yu was stunned. Didn't you say you were hiding it first? Why did you say it again?
Lin Rui explained: "The matter seems a bit big."
Lin Baowen didn't care much. He put the mutton into the pot and said, "It's okay. Just tell me!" How big of a deal could it be?! But as he listened, he felt something was wrong. "You mean, it's Sanniang's fault."
Are all the commendations for chaste and martyr women rejected this year?"
Lin Lang emphasized, "It was the queen who refused!" Don't call her Sanniang Sanniang. It would be easier to accept her psychologically if she calls her by another name.
Lin Baowen put down his chopsticks and stopped pulling the mutton in the pot. He then said, "There must be something wrong with these folds!"
Lin Baozhang: "..." That's not what he said. No one said that the queen was wrong! However, he suddenly discovered that if we don't understand this niece who has met twice, sometimes we will make mistakes in judgment! He
He asked the third brother sincerely, "What is the Queen's character like?"
What's the meaning?
Lin Baohua said hurriedly, "Brother is saying that we have to be mentally prepared! Listening to this, the Ministry of Rites is involved, as well as the cabinet. I'm afraid it's not a big deal. This coincides with the Chinese New Year, and we want to give Brother Yu and Er
Mom is getting engaged. I’m afraid there will be a lot of guests coming and going. Sometimes, if you make a mistake in just one sentence, it will cause trouble for the queen. So, we have to be aware of it!"
Lin Baowen was anxious, "Eldest brother, second brother, Sanniang has read a lot of books. She has read all the books in our family. To say that she is affected, it is also the influence of our ancestors. Our ancestors wrote books and said that the world does not
Come on, can’t future generations read? After reading these books, she was also selected to be the princess in the palace. She learned how to dance with swords and guns in the palace. The emperor also knew that she was doing it for herself.
Paul! This is not a secret! Furthermore, my personality is a little more lively, which I probably follow my father..."
The old man nodded, "Yes! Follow me!"
"But she has never lost her sense of proportion, and she has never done anything unworthy of her status in formal occasions. So, in general, although she is different from ordinary elegant women, she is also a virtuous, kind, gentle and courteous woman.
Woman!"
Lin Yu lowered his head silently, picked up a plate of frozen tofu and shook it gently, as if he wanted to shake it open. After a long while, he nodded firmly, "Yes! Sanniang... is a virtuous and kind-hearted person, gentle and courteous, and has always been a good person.
so."
Aunt Wen hurriedly defended herself to the old lady inside, "...Really! Sanniang is very well-behaved! Even though she occasionally has a tough temper, the men in the family are often away from home, and Erniang was not in good health at that time, so I
You are useless, you still have to count on your children." He said, pulling Er Niang, "Old lady, you don't believe me, but you have to trust Er Niang. The two sisters grew up together, don't you know Er Niang's temperament?"
Mrs. Wang who was serving on the side also said: "Our third wife has a good temper!"
Right! Right! Mrs. Wang has watched the girl grow up, doesn’t she know her temperament?
The second mother served the old lady some food and said firmly to her two aunts and sisters-in-law: "Really! The third mother's temper is not as bad as mine."
Lin Sixiang slapped the table, "That's it! The queen is in the boudoir, gentle and elegant, up and down, who knows?!"
Yes! That’s it!
So, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the Lin family held two engagements.
There were so many people coming to congratulate me that the place where I was placed was really nervous.
I don’t know what he said about the back house. Anyway, Ye Xianggao knew about the queen from the old man of the Lin family, and felt that he knew him as a different person.
But everyone in the Lin family seemed to have the same tone when talking about the girl the Lin family ordered, "...she is really good-tempered. The queen is also like this in her boudoir..."
Speaking of the second mother who is about to get married, "As long as they don't dislike her, we are high on her! The second mother is not as gentle and gentle as the third mother."
So, several adults got together and wondered, if the queen really has this temper, why does she seem so aggressive in some things?
Someone said: "...Some things may not be what the Queen wants, but what the Emperor wants the Queen to do..."
This means: The Queen acts in accordance with the Emperor's will?!
Not to mention, it is really possible!
So, strangely enough, Lin Yutong didn't even know why, but the ministers bypassed her and went to talk to Fourth Master!
No! How did you manage to ignore me so completely!
She: "..." Does this mean she doesn't want to get involved?
Ha! If you don’t want to, won’t I stop getting involved? Just wait for me!
