First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 289

Naturally, there was another sound of promises below, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to reason with them anymore. If this group of people didn't die, they wouldn't know how to be afraid. If that's the case, then let's see each other in a few months.

After announcing his resignation, Zhu Biao followed his father back to the imperial study. Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and drank tea. His mouth was dry from what he said just now. He asked his son to sit beside him and asked, "Do you think it's a bit embarrassing to punish his whole family?" pass?"

Zhu Biao nodded slightly. After all, there must be children who are ignorant of the world in their family, but the criminal law can do nothing about it: "Although the sons and ministers are a little bit unbearable, they also know that a ruler should be angry or not. A thief is a truth."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded gratifiedly and said: "The current atmosphere in the officialdom is not right. It is a problem left over from the Song and Yuan Dynasties. They were too conniving with officials and gentry. If they want to reverse it now, they can only be ruthless. When they are greedy again in the future, they will For the sake of my own life, my family will persuade me."

Zhu Biao said in a deep voice: "The external turmoil has been settled, but the internal turmoil has not stopped. Now it is necessary to use heavy codes in troubled times, but the law should be perfected as soon as possible, so that there will be specific regulations in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood this truth. He said long ago that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the discipline should be established first, so in October of the first year of Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Li Shanchang to be the chief executive officer of the law, to attend to the political affairs of Yang Xian, Fu Yu, and Liu Ji, the imperial censor. Tao An, a Hanlin scholar, and other 20 people served as the legislative body of the counselors, and formulated the laws and decrees to be applied in the new year of the founding of the country.

But now, that law is not perfect, and even a little out of balance. After all, the situation of the country has changed a lot, and the first year of Wu and the fourth year of Hongwu are naturally very different.

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he stood up and said, "The minister will go to the Imperial College."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved him away, and he could think carefully about who to use to improve the law and formulate the Ming law that fits the current situation. Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and Song Lian have all left. It is really hard to find someone now.

After Zhu Biao got out of the palace, he got into the car and drove straight to Jiming Mountain. After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Yingtian, he changed Yingtianfu School to Guozixue. .

Zhu Yuanzhang placed high hopes on this place. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the problem of insufficient court officials was exposed. From the central government to the local government, from the provinces to the prefectures and counties, there are a total of 10 officials. How can Zhu Yuanzhang have the foundation to spend so much loyalty? Competent and honest officials.

Therefore, the academy was established early on, and the results cannot be said to be non-existent, but it is not ideal. It has been four years since many local officials have been produced, and many vacancies have been filled, but unfortunately nothing is too outstanding.

As for the reason, it was simple. Zhu Biao put down the rules and regulations of the Imperial College in his hands. This school was run by his father as a place to train tool people, restraining students and even teachers with extremely harsh discipline.

The regulations of the Guozijian are that the students have rules, are not good at their studies, and follow the corrections. The Shengjian hall has two red stools for execution, and two Zao Li in the straight hall, who are specially used to torture students.

Jiancheng has a collection of guilt books, and students in each class will be punished if they dare to disobey the school rules.For the record of the first offense, five strikes for the second offense, ten strikes for the third offense, and dispatch and resettlement for the fourth offense.

Jiancheng has the right to seize life and death over Jiansheng, and Jiansheng has no reason to appeal and resist. The servants in Guozijian, such as cooks, are appointed by the imperial court to serve as death row prisoners. If they refuse to obey orders three times, they will be executed immediately.

Students who have questions about their studies must kneel and listen. Criticism of personnel management and life is absolutely prohibited. Association activities are absolutely prohibited. They are not allowed not to wear prison uniforms.

The most serious one is that anyone who dares to insult the teacher, but accuses the adulterer, that is, he has committed a crime in the name of a criminal, is indecent, and the prisoner will be sent to the south to be exiled with a hundred sticks.

The so-called insulting the teacher and suing the adulterer are not clearly defined, and their meaning can be expanded arbitrarily. In the final analysis, the teachers of the Imperial College have the final say. If you say you insult the teacher, you are insulting the teacher. If you dare to refute it, it will be even worse. Prove it.

Zhu Biao looked at the students of the Imperial College who had served as officials in the past two years. They were either nerds who followed the rules, or extremely corrupt people who had bottomed out.

My father is indeed not a talent in this field, and fortunately there is no electricity in this era, otherwise we have to set rules according to Lao Zhu's character, and those who don't study hard will be punished by electric shock, and the title of King of Thunder and Lightning will belong to Lao Zhu .

The mighty car stopped in front of the gate of Guozijian, and a group of people led by him had been waiting for a long time. Liu Jin lifted the curtain and Zhu Biao got off the carriage. His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Qianqiu."

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to help: "The king's sacrifice of wine is free. I am ordered by the emperor to come here to select some outstanding students, and I hope that the sacrifice of wine will not hesitate to recommend."

Guozijian Jijiu surnamed Wang is an old master who is also well-known in the literary world. He is especially good at landscape painting. Zhu Biao met Song Lian several times back then. The old master stood up and stroked his beard. Land, since His Highness is personally here, then I will naturally recommend the best students so that they can serve the country."

Zhu Biao was surrounded by the stars and entered the highest-level institution in Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang still attached great importance to this. In addition to shooting gardens, warehouses, sanitariums, storage rooms, classrooms, libraries, student dormitories, and cafeterias, there are more than [-] rooms in total.

Zhu Biao also saw many students walking towards the school in a hurry while holding books and reciting. No matter whether they showed it to Zhu Biao on purpose or not, Zhu Biao was quite satisfied. When the patrol team checks.

Zhu Biao walked through the courtyard, and the small words and great righteousness of the sages of the past dynasties were everywhere, and the famous sayings and epigrams were also engraved on the stone walls and wooden pillars. Zhu Biao asked casually: "What do the students learn on weekdays?"

Wang Jijiu said with a smile: "The Guozijian is based on filial piety, etiquette, loyalty, and integrity. ", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" are general basic courses. In addition, you need to study current political documents such as court laws.

Zhu Biao didn't say anything when he heard the words, and went to a house where he wrote to the Shengjian Hall. Wang Jijiu stopped Zhu Biao and said, "The Shengjian Hall is a place to correct mistakes. If there are students who are ignorant and incompetent, they will be forced to go in and use bamboo. There are two whips, there is nothing inside except for two red stools, it is better not to enter with your highness."

Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously, even if he beat the students, he would not pick them. Now he just asked: "How many students are punished on weekdays?"
