Chapter 1270

"Your Majesty said so?" Zhou Zhong was overjoyed.

Zhou Buyi smiled and said: "Duke Zhou, we don't have the guts to pretend. This is what His Majesty said personally, and every word is recorded in the daily notes. If you are worried, Duke Zhou, you might as well go to the Taishi Office to apply for a loan."

Zhou Zhong laughed, and turned to look at Gao Rou, Zhong Yao and the others.

They are the group responsible for revising the law. They have been arguing over whether and how to limit the imperial power. Now they have finally received the emperor's message and can move forward.

Of course he would go to the Taishi Department to apply for a daily life note.For such a big matter, you must see the black and white words before you can make a final decision, so as not to misunderstand.

For this matter, not only his hair became gray, but countless beards were twisted and broken.

Sometimes when he was in a hurry, he would scold Yang Biao and Jia Xu. The three princes who agreed to discuss politics, one hid in Nanyang, and the other was a cultivator who pretended to be a ghost every day even though he was beside the emperor.

If he had known this earlier, he shouldn't have taken over as Sikong in the first place.

Of course, this is just a moment of anger.

In the end, Zhong Yao came up with an idea to let Cao Chong and Zhou Buyi take the opportunity of discussing knowledge to find out what the emperor said.

They are the young geniuses that the emperor valued most, even if there is any offense, the emperor will not care about them.

It turned out to be a smart choice and a great value for money.

The Son of Heaven not only conveyed his attitude, but also elaborated further.

The emperor opposed the abolition of the inner court, not because he was reluctant to give up power, but because he believed that reality would not allow it.The Sangong has too many government affairs to worry about, and may not be able to spare time to consider decision-making. This task can only be undertaken by the emperor.

"Okay, that's it, thank you two little friends." Zhou Zhong got up and politely saluted Zhou Buyi and Cao Chong. The two teenagers were so frightened that they hurriedly got up to avoid the table, saying that they dare not.

Zhou Zhong said solemnly: "Don't underestimate this legislation. After the revision of this new law, its significance is no less than that of Dong Zhongshu's execution in the Spring and Autumn Period. The execution of the prison in the Spring and Autumn Period is only a circle in the Five Classics of Confucianism. This, directly pursuing the original intention of the master, is the practice of Confucianism in today's practice, and it is more in line with the meaning of Confucianism to seek innovation and change, and keep pace with the times."

Both Zhong Yao and Gao Rou agreed.

They also have high hopes for this new law, hoping that it will be a generation of fashion and escort the rejuvenation of the great man for 500 years.Because of this, they have enough motivation to discuss each text day and night, making sure that it is not only based on Confucian classics, but also in line with practice, and can also guide the future.

After seeing off Zhou Buyi and Cao Chong, Zhou Zhong was still too excited to contain himself.

"Wen Hui, Yuan Chang, Dafa has basically been decided, so brother Shi Xie's matter should be put on the agenda, right?"

"Of course, we never stopped Sikong Mansion." Gao Rou laughed.

Zhou Zhong was taken aback. "Wen Hui, what do you mean?"

Zhong Yao said: "Duke Zhou, how to judge the Shixie brothers has nothing to do with the new law. The new law does not ask about the old things, and the previous things must be judged according to the previous law. The reason why you have delayed until now is because the new law has not been enacted. Based on it?"

Zhou Zhong rolled his eyes, smiled and said nothing.

Zhong Yao turned around and patted the mansion newspaper on the desk. "I have already counted. Since the publication of Yuan Hui's article, there have been only a handful of people who agree with it, but more articles have refuted it. It can be seen that anyone with a little knowledge knows that it is not advisable for Tianzi Gangang to be arbitrary. It is equally unfeasible for officials to manipulate public opinion, or influence public officials, and it is more reasonable to rule the country according to the law."

Zhou Zhong's eyes flickered. "You carefully study the law and talk about how to punish it?"

Zhong Yao didn't think about it. "Dereliction of duty, ultra vires, and worship without authorization."

Zhou Zhong was taken aback. "Isn't this about killing?"

"According to the law, it is natural to kill. However, Shi Xie is more than seventy years old, and there are not many days left. His brothers have passed the age of sixty in a few years, and his clan has been killed. It should be no problem to ask the emperor to pardon his capital crime and exile him overseas. .”

Zhou Zhong let out a long breath and nodded repeatedly.

"This is the best, this is the best."

-

Zhou Zhong quickly made a judgment and personally sent the document to Liu Xie.

After Liu Xie finished reading, he pondered for a while.

The judgment was written very sophisticatedly, and clearly stated the basis for the judgment.Although Liu Xie felt that it was too lenient to let the Shi Xie brothers go like this, he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Of course, if he insisted on killing Shi Xie, he could do it, but in this way, he would violate the principle of governing the country according to the law that he himself said, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

"How many people are there in the Shi family?"

"Including Shi Xie's young grandson, there are 37 people in total." Zhou Zhong took out a list and handed it over with both hands.

Liu Xie took it in his hand, opened it, and was taken aback for a moment.

There are more than 37 people on this list, at least three or four hundred.It's just that most of the names have a red circle above them.

"This is……"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the list of clan members of the Cangwu clan. The ones marked with cinnabar on it have been killed. Some died in battle, some died of illness, and most were killed by Sun Ce's department."

Liu Xie frowned and looked at Zhou Zhong.

Zhou Zhong bowed his hand again. "Your Majesty, I don't dare to say anything about death. Shi Xie has failed the court, and ten thousand deaths cannot be redeemed. However, he is over seventy years old, and there are not many days left. Ninety percent of his family members died, which is no different from that of the Fu family. It is enough to warn those who come. For the benevolence of life, His Majesty might as well pardon his death crime and sentence him to exile, so that his descendants can feel His Majesty's bosom..."

Liu Xie raised his hand and interrupted Zhou Zhong. "Duke Zhou, I understand what you mean. All right, let's go to exile according to your opinion."

After speaking, he picked up the cinnabar pen and wrote a word on the judgment document.

can.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Zhong bowed and bowed again as if relieved of his heavy burden.

"Duke Zhou has worked hard to create a new law recently." Liu Xie left the table and helped Zhou Zhong up. "Seeing Duke Zhou put so much effort into it, I feel very relieved."

Zhou Zhong had a sore nose. "Your Majesty, the old minister is dull, and the accumulation is hard to return, but His Majesty is tolerant and forgets the mistakes. The old minister is grateful for the inscription, very fortunately."

Liu Xie was also a little emotional.

Although Zhou Zhong still has some old thoughts from time to time, compared to the early years of Jian'an, Zhou Zhong has changed a lot now.As a veteran minister, it is already commendable to be able to achieve this step, and one cannot ask too much.

Besides, Zhou Zhong is over sixty years old, and his health is not very good. In a few years, he will retire from office, so let him stand on the last post.

"Zhou Zhong needs to take care of his health, let's do the matter of adding a long history as soon as possible."

"Wei." Zhou Zhong was overjoyed. "The minister draws up a list of candidates as soon as possible, please have a look at your Majesty."

"After the list is finalized, copy a few copies of the draft new law drawn up by the law school, and ask them to read it and give some comments, which will be used as their entry assessment. To do a good job in the long history of the Sikong Mansion, you must not only have the ability to be a director, You must also have enough insight. When necessary, let them go to the law school to study, and Zhou Gong might as well give them lectures in person to help them along the way."

Zhou Zhong laughed from ear to ear.

With the arrangement of the Son of Heaven, his position as the first Sikong of the New Deal will be stabilized, and he will be famous in the history of the future.

"Your Majesty Shengming."
