Chapter 332 "Xing Tong" will become

In the hall, Han Xizai showed worry for the first time on his face, maintained his demeanor, bowed again, and explained calmly: "My lord intends to make good relations between the two countries, and has already ordered that the fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei are not allowed to go north to commit crimes." Han. In the past, there was hostility between the north and the south, and there were turmoil on the frontiers. They fought on the border, which caused bandits from the two Huaihe Rivers to flee in the north and the south, doing a lot of evil. Presumably the bandits on the Huai River invaded, Xuzhou Han army, mistake me for Tang army!"

After saying that, Han Xizai put his mind in order again, his eyelids drooped slightly, waiting for Liu Chengyou's reaction.Since the interview, Emperor Han's attitude made him suspicious, and he kept making things difficult in his words, which was beyond his expectation.

To be reasonable, Liu and Li's negotiation of peace is beneficial to both the Han and Tang Dynasties, especially to the Han.But Liu Chengyou's performance seemed too casual, and he really couldn't see how much he cared.

But the expression on Liu Chengyou's face gradually returned to calm, he still looked at Han Xizai, but felt a sense of fading interest.Of course, Liu Chengyou's impromptu nonsense about Xuzhou's report, but the fact is as Han Xizai guessed, what Cheng Deqin broke was a group of bandits fleeing in Xuhuai.

At this moment, Liu Chengyou was not in the mood to have any more fruitless exchanges with Han Xizai, so he flicked his hand and asked, "Dong Han's going to the north to negotiate a peace, can he get the full power of the Tang Lord?"

Hearing and asking, Han Xizai became more cautious when he realized something, and replied: "I am entrusted with the power to make decisions on the fly by the order of my lord!"

Hearing his answer, Liu Chengyou completely put away his interest, opened up his speech, and said in a strong tone: "Han Gong, whether or not there is a peace agreement, it is up to me! Meng Shu invaded me last year, and the two sides mobilized nearly [-] troops. The Shu lord, Meng Chang, still relied on [-] hu of grain for the marriage. The Tang lord would not think that sending you to the north, giving me some presents, and making sophistry in front of me, would make peace and eliminate old grievances! There is nothing so easy in this world!"

"I don't know what your Majesty wants?" Han Xizai asked intently.

He is really a smart man, Liu Chengyou nodded without being pretentious, and responded directly: "Negotiate and negotiate, let's talk about it. I sent Tao Gu, a member of Zhongshushe, to be in charge of this matter. The specific affairs will be handled by Tao Sheren and Han Gong." Let's talk!"

After saying that, Liu Chengyou resumed his vigorous and vigorous style, and he didn't mean to talk to Han Xizai any more, so he ended the interview.

"Second Minister, what do you think of Han Xizai?" Liu Chengyou asked.

This time Liu Chengyou summoned Han Xizai, and specially asked Wang Pu and Wang Pu to accompany him.Facing the emperor's interrogation, Wang Pu replied immediately, and he couldn't help but admire in his words: "He is imposing, witty and calm, and he really lives up to his name!"

Wang Pu commented frankly that he has some similarities with Han Xizai, they are both gentle and elegant, with outstanding talents.A villain may have a heart of jealousy, but Yu Wang Pu can't help but have a good impression, and more of it is curiosity and sympathy.

Wang Pu was by the side, just at the right time.To Liu Chengyou's question, he pondered for a while, and said: "Han Xizai has inherent talent, but he traveled southward for more than [-] years as a northerner and assisted the two masters of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but his arrogance has not been tempered. "

"Wang Qing's eyes are like torches!" Liu Chengyou immediately agreed with Wang Pu's emotion, and said: "Just now, Han Xizai and Zhenyan, although they are modest and polite, but their words are constantly sharp. The arrogance really makes people feel uncomfortable!"

"Your Majesty, although Tao Sheren is good at poetry, books and articles, if he discusses the matter with Han Xizai in front of him, I'm afraid." Hearing Liu Chengyou's words, Wang Pu couldn't help reminding him lightly.

Liu Chengyou flicked his hands, very calmly: "Let's discuss first!"

Seeing this, Wang Pu couldn't help showing doubts, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the puppet Tang Dynasty is a big country in the south of the Yangtze River. The two sides are hostile, and the North and the South are confronting each other, so the big Han often has things to do in the southern border. Now the big Han is recuperating and recovering his national strength. At the same time, the Lord Tang took the initiative to send people to discuss peace and restore diplomatic relations. For the big man, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Is it inappropriate for His Majesty to be so negligent to the false Tang envoys?"

In Wang Pu's remonstrance, there is a hint of caution.Liu Chengyou replied: "I know what you mean, but some things are too easy to get. I'm afraid Jiangnan Yelang's arrogant person will underestimate me!"

As he said that, Liu Chengyou's tone turned cold: "I can hear that this deputy envoy sent by the pseudo-Tang Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, who came from the north, has a lot of contempt for me, the appearance of a big man, and the people of Tokyo. He is frivolous and arrogant, and he is arrogant!"

"No wonder." Wang Pu was thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, please order me to assist Tao Sheren to discuss a peace agreement!" At this time, Wang Pu took the initiative to ask.

Liu Chengyou pointed out: "You want to meet Han Xizai for a while!"

"Your Majesty's eyes!" Wang Pu complimented.

Liu Chengyou has nothing to do, so let him.

Wang Pu retreated, and Liu Chengyou picked up another volume, a part of the newly compiled "Xing Tong" by the Imperial Academy, thirty volumes of laws and decrees.After Fan Zhi and more than a dozen people from Dali and the Ministry of Criminal Justice unremittingly sorted out and elaborated, it is indeed much easier to read than before.Liu Chengyou can also read through it, and understand its meaning. Compared with the obscurity and incomprehension of the laws and regulations of the previous dynasty, these simple words are more suitable for learning, popularizing, and using.

Wang Pu was pedantic in astronomy, and after he was admitted to the number one scholar, he had been compiling books and studying law in the Imperial Academy. He was old enough and knowledgeable, and soon won the approval of a group of literary talents, especially the respect of the scholar Cheng Zhi Fan Zhi.

This time he was called, but he was ordered to report on the compilation of the "General Classification of Criminal Laws of the Great Han Dynasty". Obviously, this was Fan Zhi's intention to give Wang Pu an opportunity to make a statement to the king.

Although there have been many repairs since the Tang Dynasty and the Three Dynasties, but now it is picked up again from the beginning, combined with the current situation, the old laws and regulations are collected and deleted, the elaboration is simplified, the format is rewritten, and the classification is really detailed and complicated. work.

It took about a year in total, and later there were talents like Fan Zhi and Wang Pu, and now it has finally entered the final stage.

When Liu Chengyou reviewed it, Wang Pushi stood by and continued to report to him: "I have compiled 25 volumes of laws and regulations, nine volumes of grids, [-] volumes of formulas, and [-] volumes of laws and regulations. There are still catalogs to be determined. Poor The origin of the book was investigated, and the edict was compiled in a unified manner, and more than [-] typographical errors in stippling and meaning were corrected. According to the edict, the penalty was lightened, reforms were made, and the crime of severance and dismissal was also eliminated and redefined.”

"Yeah." From Liu Chengyou's tone of voice, it can be seen that he is in a good mood and very satisfied.

Looking up at Wang Pu, he became more kind, and said: "The legal principle is the foundation of the world. Three generations of wars, the loss of legal books, and the lack of law enforcement by the great Han. I have a deep understanding of the omissions. Ordinary people try their best to read it, but it is difficult to understand it, let alone in this world where literature is not prosperous. The works of Qing and others are the root of the rule of law in the world!"

Expressing some emotion, Liu Chengyou asked: "With the current progress, when can we announce it to the world?"

Wang Pu replied conservatively: "After the catalog is compiled and classified, it will be approved again. Before the beginning of summer this year, the Ming Dynasty can be issued!"

"Finishing the law is only the first step. It is more important to promulgate and promote it so that the world will become a Dali and promote official affairs. It is more important to learn and use it!" Liu Chengyou couldn't help feeling.

Hearing this, Wang Pu bowed, "Your Majesty is wise!"
