Seeing that Min Feng's expression was not good, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. Then he looked at Gu Chengyu and pointed at Gu Chengyu to answer.
"Back to the emperor, I have been thinking about the Dayan Law for a while. All officers and soldiers who commit crimes should be exiled. Each of them will have a hundred sticks and five ranks of disciples. They will all be sent to the internal guards of 2,000 miles to be exiled. The third class, according to the distance of the land, will send out various guards and troops. Those who should be sent to the remote areas will be dispatched according to the law, and no tattoos will be required. If the army officers, Ding officers, and school captains commit crimes, they will be punished by the soldiers, and they will not be exiled. Tattoo."
Gu Chengyu answered fluently, without any pause in the middle. The emperor was quite clear about the punishment of the Ministry of Punishment. What Gu Chengyu said was accurate and there was nothing wrong with it.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that you have studied the law a lot. This cannot be achieved overnight."
Min Feng couldn't help but frown after hearing this. The emperor's meaning was already obvious. He said before that Gu Chengyu came to him to discuss the ceremony together, but now he was slapped in the face by his own words.
What the emperor meant was that Gu Chengyu had been studying these books for a long time, and it was just a preface, so why should he come to see him, Min Feng?
"Editor Min, let me ask you, how should I be punished for not repairing the embankment on time?" The emperor suddenly nodded at Min Feng and asked about the work laws in the law.
When Min Feng heard this, his heart sank. Of course he had read the laws. During the previous imperial examinations, he concentrated on the Four Books and Five Classics. He also spent some of his free time on poetry. He only read the Dayan Laws randomly. A few times later, he entered the Hanlin Academy some time ago. Because he had to compile a canon, he picked it up and read it carefully.
But he didn't read Gong Lv carefully, because there were too many books, and he naturally didn't have time to read each one carefully. He only read it once briefly, how could he remember it? Min Feng tried hard to recall, and the thin sweat on his forehead became Beads of sweat rolled down my face.
Min Feng came out of the queue, and after a long while, he bowed to the emperor and replied: "Back to the emperor, although I have read the law books before, I have read too many books, and my qualifications are still a bit inferior after all, and I have forgotten it. ."
He really tried his best to recall it, but there was no memory at all in his mind. The more panicked he became, the less he could think of it, and his face burned involuntarily.
A few days ago, the teacher selected some of the most important books for him, including the Law, and told him that other books only needed to be briefly read, but the Law must be memorized.
It's just that he just entered the Hanlin Academy not long ago, and he has a lot of work during the day. He can only go back to the evening to read, which is inevitably delayed. He didn't expect that the emperor would take the exam for him today. This is really a bad time. The most troublesome thing is , Gu Chengyu answered, but he couldn't. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was lying.
Min Feng could only bite the bullet and reply to the emperor, saying that he had forgotten it. If he had asked other questions, he might have been able to answer them all. There were rarely law-related questions in the imperial examination. Even if the examinee failed to answer them, it would only affect him. some rankings.
Dayan emphasized literature over martial arts. The most important thing in the imperial examination was policy analysis, so naturally they would not pay too much attention to the law candidates.
As soon as these words came out, Gu Chengyu felt that the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly became colder. The emperor snorted coldly, this Tanhua Lang was the same as Xia Qing, but Xia Qing still had some real talents and impeccable talents. Min Feng looked like he wasn't as capable as Xia Qing, but he learned Xia Qing's methods to a tenth.
"Gu Aiqing, tell me." After the emperor snorted coldly, he looked at the three people standing in the royal study room who were trembling with fear, and nodded to Gu Chengyu to answer.
Gu Chengyu took a step forward and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, according to the laws of Dayan, anyone who fails to repair the river defense, or repairs it in time, will be promoted to officials, and each will be whipped fifty times. If any damage is done, If someone loses his or her property, the staff will be punished with sixty sticks. If someone loses his or her property as a result, the staff will be punished with eighty sticks."
In the middle of the sentence, he paused and saw that the emperor's expression was a little more relaxed than the general's. Then he continued: "If you don't repair the polder bank, and if you repair it in time, you will be punished with thirty punishments. If you drown the fields, you will be punished with five punishments." 10. If the heavy water and continuous rain damage the embankment, and it is not caused by manpower, it will not be ignored."
Gu Chengyu answered with confidence, his tone was coherent, and he finished it in one go! And the more Gu Chengyu spoke, the uglier Min Feng's face became.
The emperor asked two questions in a row, and Gu Chengyu answered them without any mistakes. Even Zhang Hai couldn't help but nod secretly. He had known for a long time that Gu Chengyu was very talented, so he naturally admired him. It's a pity that he made a wrong step today. , I'm afraid that Gu Chengyu is already dissatisfied with him.
"Has Gu Aiqing memorized all the laws?" The emperor was a little surprised. He looked at Gu Chengyu as if he could answer no matter what he asked.
"For your information, Your Majesty, Wei Chen has carefully read through most of the books related to the code, so he is very impressed with the questions you asked. Wei Chen also made a more detailed preface, and asked the Emperor to read it. ."
Gu Chengyu took out the booklet from his sleeve and handed it over respectfully.
"Oh? De'an!" In fact, if the emperor still can't understand it, he would be a fool.
After all, Gu Chengyu was still the top of Min Feng, but Min Feng took all the credit for the top, wasn't it because he was Xia Qing's disciple? The emperor glanced back and forth between Min Feng and Gu Chengyu, and suddenly he felt something in his heart Got an idea.
He wanted to see how Xia Qing could have the dignity to apply for an official position after teaching such a disciple.
De'an stepped forward to take the book and took a deep look at Gu Chengyu. He also saw that the trick was coming. It seemed that it was a lie that Master Gu and Master Min were discussing it together, and it was true that Master Min wanted to take credit for Master Gu's work.
Zhang Hai also knew at this moment that his secret was revealed. Although he felt uneasy, when he started to speak, he had kept a secret after all. There would definitely be punishment, but it was impossible to say that he had taken off his hat.
However, this Min Feng was not stupid. He directly said that it was Gu Chengyu who did it. Therefore, although everyone present knew it, no one could take advantage of him.
The emperor took the book and opened it, only to see that it was a more detailed preface. The general content of each yamen was briefly described, and even the book it came from was written clearly. This booklet is much thicker than the previous one.
It can be seen that the book was excerpted from this book. The emperor flipped through it roughly, and the writing was very small, just like the notes in the book.
"This booklet of yours can be used as a reference for the officials who compile it. It is very detailed. With this, the progress of compiling the canon can be faster."
The emperor was very satisfied with this book. Those officials of the Hanlin Academy were procrastinating in doing things. According to their usual speed, they would definitely not be able to complete it in less than half a year. The compilation speed of the meeting is not as good as the actual records, but the compilation speed is much faster than the actual records. But those If a person is used to procrastinating, he always has to tap and tap to speed up.
Now that we have this booklet, it saves those officials a lot of trouble. Searching for it in books is always much faster than before.
