Shen Wuhua never imagined that one day he would be able to meet someone who could talk to him or even appreciate him in this royal family that he thought he had seen through.
Li Xingchen thought of something, spread out the paper, and said with a smile: "Now that we have talked about this matter, let me sort out my thoughts. You see, the law of the country is the root and the moral education is the skin, and together they constitute The rules that I, the emperor and his subjects of the Han Dynasty, abide by. The law is governed by the Ministry of Punishment, and the rites are governed by the Ministry of Rites. It is obvious that there is no such division of labor between the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites in the Han Dynasty. It was indeed my negligence before."
Shen Wuhua looked thoughtfully at Li Xingchen writing "law" and "morals" on the paper.
Today's big men have obviously begun to gradually come out of the state of providing food and clothing, and Li Xingchen's attention will naturally gradually shift from providing food and clothing to how to establish rules for the people. Only in this way can the entire society be suppressed from the original law of the jungle. Come out of the laws of the forest and get back on track.
Three hundred years of troubled times have done too much damage to the etiquette and education of this nation, so now is the time to gradually recover. After all, a complete society requires not only material civilization, but also spiritual civilization, and both can be achieved Only when it is satisfied can stability be ensured to the greatest extent.
Although the Han Dynasty has not yet achieved unification, it is urgent to strengthen ideological control and formulate legal provisions to restrain social order. After all, neither Li Xingchen nor the Dukes of the imperial court can completely objectively judge what is happening in the country. All things. What's more, looking at it from another perspective, calming people's hearts and stabilizing society are inherently beneficial and harmless to the Northern Expedition.
Li Xingchen wrote in turn under "Law" the legal provisions that the Han Dynasty should compile. Of course, most of them were just a rough summary, and under "Morality" he wrote "Academy", "Six Arts of the Gentleman", "The Way of Confucius and Mencius", etc. , obviously these are where people learn morality and etiquette.
"This is like a big tree," Li Xingchen paused his writing and looked at Shen Wuhua who was studying ink next to him. "All I can think of now is the trunk. If I want to make this big tree bloom, I can only rely on I can’t do that.”
Naturally, Li Xinchen did not have the energy to confirm every legal provision and implement any etiquette education. This had to be left to the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites. What Li Xinchen could do was to point them in a direction. Of course, Li Xinchen could do it. That's just the way it is.
As an emperor, he should not implement everything in detail, because this will cause the officials in the court to rely too much on the emperor's judgment, which is absolutely not beneficial to the formulation and change of court policies. Officials who have lost the ability to think for themselves, and There is no difference between a group of robots that can only walk back and forth carrying official documents and a group of robots that classify them. At the same time, if the emperor interferes too much, the officials will not realize the value of their work, and their work attitude will naturally deteriorate sharply, not to mention some specific matters. , Li Xingchen’s ability is not necessarily that great.
The transportation captain of later generations is proof of this.
After a pause, Li Xingchen said with a smile: "After returning, this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment for implementation respectively. You should know Kong Fan who is now in charge of the Ministry of Rites, not to mention Shen Jungao of the Punishment Department. Please run away for this matter." It’s a trip.”
Shen Wuhua was a little surprised by Li Xingchen's instructions. He did not expect that Li Xingchen would directly put this task on himself.
"What, you don't want to?"
Shen Wuhua said hurriedly: "I am willing to serve your Majesty."
She just didn't expect that Li Xingchen would trust her so much, and when she thought of Chen Shubao who didn't regard her as his wife at all, Shen Wuhua could only lament that fate was playing tricks on people. Why didn't she meet Li Xingchen first?
If that's the case, will it not be like this in these ten years?
Li Xingchen didn't seem to notice the change in Shen Wuhua's expression. He walked straight to the door: "Where is the ship?!"
"Your Majesty, we will go to Guazhou Ferry immediately!"
"Guazhou Crossing?" Li Xingchen was startled for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's quite fast!"
Immediately afterwards, he turned around and said: "Guazhou Ferry is the ferry outside Guangling City. The scenery here is superb. Are you willing to enjoy it with me?"
Before Shen Wuhua could react, Li Xingchen had already asked Li Ping to serve the wine.
In desperation, Shen Wuhua could only stand up: "I will accompany your majesty."
And she cursed in her heart:
Didn’t you just say you were going to sleep?
Of course, Shen Wuhua actually breathed a sigh of relief. What she was most afraid of was that Li Xingchen would directly ask her to sleep with her. This time Li Xingchen went to Huainan, even if the time was short, it would only take a month to go back and forth. Since there was only Shen Wuhua with him, Shen Wuhua naturally had to be responsible for solving some problems for Li Xingchen. This was all expected.
What's more, putting Shen Wuhua in this position is Lechang's opinion. Shen Wuhua is naturally grateful to Lechang. Lechang has done his best to save her life in the chaos of war. This time In order for her to serve Li Xingchen, her original intention was to consider Shen Wuhua.
Shen Wuhua has always been a submissive person, otherwise he would not have been able to endure being left out for ten years. You must know that these ten years are the best ten years in his life from thirteen to twenty-three. Although Shen Wuhua is now But twenty-four or five years old is also the age to get married in future generations, but in this era, most of her peers have already had children. Her best years were spent in the cold palace, This kind of loneliness and loneliness was hard to bear, but she still got through it. What could she not accept now?
But after all, Li Xingchen was still a stranger to her, and Shen Wuhua didn't have the ability to deal with it calmly as she slept with this stranger.
To be honest, she also envies Lechang. She has such a husband who can bear the weight of the world, and he can still find time to pity and take care of her. He is even more pampered to the limitless extent on weekdays. He has experienced troubled times and royal disputes. Women generally lack a sense of security, and Lechang obviously has this personality to some extent, so he is always trying to win over the people around him, imagining that one day his strong rival will appear next to Li Xingchen.
As for Lechang's "suspicious" behavior, Li Xingchen never said anything more.
The queen is the mother of the world. Logically speaking, although Lechang's point is excusable, in fact it went too far.
It is precisely because of this that Shen Wuhua is more curious about Li Xingchen. She also wants to know who is this man who is thousands of times better than her former husband Chen Shubao and can make her arrogant uncle Shen Jungao bow his head and obey his orders. What kind of character.
Perhaps it was also because of these complicated thoughts that when Li Xingchen reached out and gently held her cold hand, Shen Wuhua only trembled slightly, but did not refuse.
