Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 652 Win-Win
Zhao Yuankai waved his hands, shook his head, and put on a look of embarrassment:

"So what about a long-term plan? If Xu Wenlin's crimes are punished, who will trust the laws of the big man in the future? In the future, there will be that official who dares to defy the powerful and uphold the law?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuankai sighed together, looked down at the court, and said:
"Dear dears, the big man can have today. You have worked hard and made great achievements. I don't want anyone to be wronged! But, before the laws and regulations of the country, everyone should be equal. You are in a prominent position in the temple and respected by thousands of people, so you have to do a good job. Demonstration."

As soon as these words fell, the court was grateful to Dade!
At this time, who really dares not to have eyes?
One by one, they immediately changed their attitudes and shouted:
"Your Majesty, the ministers are indeed ineffective in discipline, and it is right to plead guilty, and it is the greater fault of the ministers to disturb His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, as the king of the great man and the lord of all peoples, can retreat and bow for the country's laws and regulations. As subjects, how dare we enjoy special things?"

"Your Majesty, no matter what the Jingzhao Mansion does, as long as it is within the laws and regulations of the country, the ministers will do their best to cooperate! In the future, if there are any criminals in the family of the ministers, the ministers will report them as soon as possible. , resolutely defend the justice of the country's laws and codes!"

……

This big drama has sung to this extreme, and the curtain has already come to an end.

Xu Wenlin let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had walked through the gate of hell.

Zhao Yuankai returned to the ninth and fifth seat, looked down at the court, and was finally satisfied.

In fact, the reform is not difficult. With the current cohesion and execution of the Han Dynasty, it is almost impossible to have any apparent resistance!

But the hard part is changing people's hearts!

In this big show, it seems that Zhao Yuankai pushed it with one hand, let Xu Wenlin take the blame, and let himself take the fame and achievements, which seems a bit indecent.

But is this really the case?
Not!
Looking at today's fierce debate in the court, it took half a month of preparation and preparation, from Xu Yunsheng's troubles, to Jingzhaofu's actions, to the expansion of influence to the entire four counties of Zhongzhou!
In less than half a month, the turmoil has fermented to the point that everyone in the world knows about it!

The people's opinions are everywhere, and there are constant speculations. They know what they are supporting deep down in their hearts, but they dare not have an optimistic attitude.

Because the justice of jurisprudence has never been seen for thousands of years.

Killing his wife in the Imperial Forest Warlord, and then being assassinated in Jingzhao Mansion completely pushed the storm to the top, and the Great Dynasty will come naturally!

Everyone knows that this grand meeting will completely affect the pattern and direction of the entire Han Dynasty for thousands of years in the future!
Millions of people in Chang'an have already taken to the streets spontaneously, waiting for that seemingly impossible result!
After several times of raising their spiritual talents, coupled with the liberalization of national policies and the popularization of Confucian classics, the wisdom of the people has been greatly enlightened. They are grateful for the current life, but at the same time, they also have more hopes and extravagances!

The court debated non-stop.

From the questioning by the emperor, to the attack by the courtiers, to Xu Wenlin's verbal confrontation with the court officials!

Then, the emperor was furious, and Xu Wenlin swore to die!
In the end, the emperor had no choice but to make a difficult choice between the hearts of his subjects and the hearts of the people, and finally chose the hearts of the people.

And the courtiers had an epiphany, complied with the emperor and the people's will, spontaneously reflected, and worked together and paid for the justice of the Han's legal principles!

The results were actually no different.

But the whole process is completely different, and the significance and far-reaching impact produced are even more profound!

From the very beginning, it seemed that it was a fierce debate that was doomed to life and death, but in the end, it turned into a win-win situation for all parties!

why?
It is because of this different method and process that we identified a thing called a common ideal, and then elevated this thing to become what the monarch, ministers, and people pursue together!
Ever since, the positions of the monarch, the subjects and the people are consistent.

So what is the situation now?
The Son of Heaven bends down and makes concessions for the law and the people, great!

It is rare for the courtiers to fully realize that it is rare to abandon power and interests and repay justice!
People are excited, a sense of identity and security that has never been seen in thousands of years has appeared, thank you!
Finally, there is Xu Wenlin, a pioneer of legal principles, who is an example, and his eloquence has become a good talk, and his fair spirit of desperately defending legal principles will become the greatest confidence of future generations of courtiers!
This is the real imperial technique!
If it is a direct reform and a strong implementation, the process will be completely different!

So far!

Zhao Yuankai didn't talk nonsense anymore, and he didn't need to act anymore. He directly introduced his ultimate goal, which was to rebuild the law code!

The so-called ideological norms, the so-called Confucian etiquette... In Zhao Yuankai's view, they are all unreliable. Only the provisions written in the code can have the highest binding effect!

Zhao Yuankai didn't mind that the imperial power bowed to legal principles, because the legal principles...was signed by the imperial power.

Again.

The form changes, but the essence remains the same.

However, the effects and influences produced by different forms are completely different, even worlds apart!
"My dear friends, I am very pleased that you have such awareness!"

"I didn't express my position during this period, and I refused to meet many people. That's because I was also thinking about the national law code of the great man!"

"It's just like what Xu Aiqing said, since I came to the court, the Great Han Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes. The structure of the country and the people's livelihood are completely different. The old codes are no longer applicable!"

"The minister has always emphasized that under Tianwu rule, the people should be the most important thing, abolish the examination system and reform the imperial examination system, and select scholars from poor families... This past is completely opposite!"

"Also, after the bureaucratic reform, I successively employed Zhu Lingxue, Wu Tingfang and other female officials, which was unimaginable in the past!"

"I have the heart to break the old rules, to break the old system, and to bring greater changes to this empire, but in the final analysis, everything should be included in the system!"

"The advanced system is the foundation of the empire, but where does the system come from, and what is it guaranteed? That's right, it is the legal code that Xu Wenlin said! Even I need a code that is backsliding!!"

"Only the provisions that are written into the legal code, clearly announced, and followed by the world, will demonstrate the greatest fairness and justice, and serve as the most effective warning and guidance!"

"So, I want to take advantage of the turmoil in the Jingzhao Mansion this time, strike while the iron is hot, and start the first real revision of the national law code since the country was in operation for eight years!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuan paused for a moment.

After taking a breath of relief, he looked towards Chaotang, and then said:

"This time, the revision of the legal code was led by the three jurisprudence divisions, coordinated by the various ministries and divisions of the state, and listened to the opinions of tens of thousands of people in the fifteen prefectures of Han and soil within three months. Within six months, Write down the "Han Dian" which symbolizes the supreme authority of the Han Empire!"
