869 The International Catching Fast Yamen

The memorial from Prince Zhu Cixi was naturally sent directly to the palace and presented to Emperor Chongzhen's eucalyptus.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this memorial, Zhu Cixi didn't understand why the Sun Zhixian family of an official family chose to move his family to the vassal state, but he understood.

Because the official career of Sun Zhixian's family was ordered by Emperor Chongzhen himself, which was beyond their imagination.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that this was because he was merciful, otherwise, this disgusting person would have been killed long ago!

Others don't know about Sun Zhixian, but because of Liu Weichao's existence, Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew about the major events in history, that is, Sun Zhixian did good things!

When the Manchus entered the customs, Sun Zhixian was the first to shave his head and change his clothes to please the Manchus. As a result, he was disliked by both Han and Manchu officials, so he proposed to Shangshu to expedite the implementation of the hair-shaving order issued by the imperial court. Shu said: "

Your Majesty has pacified China and made everything new, but the system of clothes, hats, and hair only remains the old Han Dynasty. This is because Your Majesty came from China, not because China came from Your Majesty."

It was his memorial that set off a bloody storm in China, and countless people died because of it!

It can be said that he almost wiped out the Han people who had the backbone at that time!

Although from the perspective of Emperor Chongzhen, his memorial was conducive to the fight against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, his actions were not for the Ming Dynasty, but for his own selfish interests, not even those of his ancestors.

Such a person did not prevent Emperor Chongzhen from being extremely disgusted with him.

He was also such a person. Before going to the feudal country, it seemed that it was not an accident that he severely harmed the local people, or rather the squires.

Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhu Cixiang's memorial, firstly because the perpetrator was a "famous person" called Sun Zhixian, and secondly because Zhu Cixiang himself concluded that this practice of escaping to vassal states after committing crimes in the Ming Dynasty was common. If it was not restricted, it would be impossible in the future.

There will definitely be more and more. It is a provocation to the Ming Dynasty's laws. Whether it is for the people or the majesty of the court, such things will not be allowed to happen on a large scale.

Emperor Chongzhen really had to pay attention to this.

But one thing is a little strange about him.

Since this kind of thing happens on such a large scale, although it is said that things like stealing and defrauding people of money happen, it is not that there are no big cases like murder and arson, but why is it not reported to the public?

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen would not believe even if it was a memorial written by his son, so he sent an order to the factory guards and asked Xichang and Jinyiwei to investigate respectively.

After an inspection, the results given by the factory guard were generally consistent with those given by Prince Zhu Cihong.

This situation was not obvious when the first vassal king, King Zhou, came to vassal Luzon. Starting from the Tang Dynasty, people who broke the law in the Ming Dynasty fled to the vassal state to become citizens in order to avoid being punished by the officials.

.

Regarding this matter, Emperor Chongzhen frowned.

According to intuition, this kind of thing is indeed problematic as the prince said. However, from another perspective, sealing off all the vassal kings is his national policy. If the vassal king cannot recruit people in the country,

If a vassal is granted, the governance of the vassal country will be a big problem, and it will also affect the vassal king's decision to establish a vassal overseas.

This is a problem!

If everything is uncertain, ask Liu Weichao!

This was Emperor Chongzhen's habit. After investigating the matter clearly, he initiated a video communication with Liu Weichao.

When the video was connected, Emperor Chongzhen explained the situation and then asked Liu Weichao: "Do you have similar situations in future generations, and how did you deal with them?"

There is really no precedent for the Ming Dynasty to refer to. At least in the past, the vassal kings were all in the country. The vassal states of the Ming Dynasty were only in name, and the direct relationship with the Ming Dynasty was not so obvious. The most important thing is that under the vassal kings

Before the feudal overseas movement, the mobility between the people of the Ming Dynasty and other countries was very small, so small that it could be ignored.

Therefore, someone who violated the Ming Dynasty's laws fled to other overseas countries and would not even report it to the emperor.

Of course, if the crime is extremely serious to the court, they will still be pursued. There was an example in the Ming Dynasty.

A big pirate on the southeast coast made a big fuss. He was defeated by the imperial navy and fled to Nanyang. However, the imperial navy pursued him and finally destroyed the pirate who tried to run to Nanyang to found a country.

Ironically, this big pirate wanted to attack Luzon, and the Spaniards were frightened and trembled. As a result, when the imperial navy arrived, they joined forces with the Spaniards to destroy this big pirate. Otherwise, the history of Nanyang will be rewritten.

.

At this time, after Liu Weichao heard Emperor Chongzhen's question, he said without thinking: "Of course there are such things, and there are many more. One of the most common methods is to sign an arrest and extradition agreement between two countries before

The criminal’s agreement. If criminals from my country escape to your country, I will notify your country and ask you to help catch them and send them back! Vice versa, the same goes for them!”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he felt it made sense and nodded immediately.

But before he could speak, Liu Weichao continued to say to him: "Of course, in my dimension, there is a country that is the world hegemon. At least for now, it is the only one. Therefore, he can go to other countries to enforce the law by himself.

, call it the world police, also known as the world’s policeman!”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This expression was seen by Liu Weichao, and he further added: "But this world police actually has a derogatory meaning, mocking the fact that this country has too long hands and has to intervene in everything! Because this is the performance of a country bullying another country.

! When it comes to equality, it’s the first way of cooperation that I mentioned!”

After a pause, Liu Weichao changed the topic and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "But in your dimension, if you want me to speak, I think you can learn it. At least from a legal perspective, you have this legal basis.

of!"

"You tell me, I'm listening!" Emperor Chongzhen was obviously very interested and responded immediately.

After hearing this, Liu Weichao gave him a detailed lecture: "The Ming Dynasty is the suzerain state and naturally has jurisdiction over the vassal states. Not to mention, these vassal states are all sealed off from the Ming Dynasty! Right?"

In the past, the vassal kings of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty had to be recognized by the Ming Emperor before they could ascend the throne. In addition, for example, in North Korea, the governors of the Ming Dynasty all had jurisdiction over North Korea.

Of course, under normal circumstances, no one would go to a vassal state.

At this time, Liu Weichao was talking eloquently to Emperor Chongzhen: "Of course, I think the most important thing is that you are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The criminals in your country have harmed the people and the Ming Dynasty, but they can escape to the vassal country without

Being punished is a slap in the face and is not allowed."

"If there are less, one or two items, the influence is small, it may be insignificant. However, from what you said, it is not just one or two items, but a pattern. Many people will learn it before running to the vassal country.

It is a big deal to harm the Ming Dynasty!"

"Didn't you in ancient times pay attention to the fact that the shore of the land is not the land of the king? Since someone has committed a crime in the Ming Dynasty, he will be hunted down even to the ends of the earth. This is in line with the loud slogan. Those who dare to offend the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are.

A truth!"

"As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you must first be responsible for the people of the Ming Dynasty. Are you right?"

After saying this in one breath, Emperor Chongzhen did not interrupt him. After he finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen nodded, but still frowned and said: "This is indeed the truth, and I actually think so too. But

, if I really have to punish you severely, I’m afraid that the subsequent vassal kings will not be able to recruit people in the country, which will lead to those vassal kings resisting and vassaling overseas!"

"..." Liu Weichao was speechless. After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you still the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Where is your prestige, Zhihu's? Now that it has reached this point, are you afraid of the vassal king's resistance?

Anyone who dares to resist will be punished!"

After a pause, he emphasized again: "Your power comes from the majority of the people. If you lose the support of the people, your position as emperor will not be stable. If you gain the support of the most people, even if you kill all the vassal kings

Now, who can do anything to you?"

Emperor Chongzhen was a little unhappy after hearing this. This was too harsh, saying that he was actually from Zhihu!

However, no matter how unhappy he was, there was nothing he could do to help Liu Weichao. Perhaps it was also because he could not find Liu Weichao, so Emperor Chongzhen still maintained his rationality. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded with a serious expression and said: "I almost forgot the fundamental way. Thanks to

Your reminder!”

After hearing this, Liu Weichao smiled and nodded and said: "That's right. A thousand-mile embankment breaks down in an ant nest. Things that affect the common people cannot be taken lightly. Similarly, the "Da Ming Law" is your face. For those who dare to violate the "Ming Law"

"Da Ming Law", those who try to slap you in the face, you should not be polite to them at all!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen said seriously: "I understand. I asked the local yamen to collect the crimes involving the vassal states to the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Punishment will uniformly request people from the vassal kings in various places!"

Hearing this, Liu Weichao suddenly had a bad idea in his mind, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "You might as well set up an yamen, such as the International Police Agency, to deal with crimes between countries. Of course, this yamen

It must be led by the Ming Dynasty, and other countries can participate. It has transnational law enforcement powers. I believe that with the expansion and opening up of the Ming Dynasty, there will be more and more crimes between countries in the future."

"..." Emperor Chongzhen was a little speechless upon hearing this.

He is very familiar with Liu Weichao, and he actually understands Liu Weichao's tone of voice, thoughts, etc.

Liu Weichao's suggestion made him feel Liu Weichao's bad taste.

However, after he thought about it seriously, he felt that what Liu Weichao said made sense.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty did not care about foreign affairs. However, it is different now. He is the one who wants to be the leader. The handling of affairs between countries will be indispensable in the future!
