Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 178 Fairness, Justice and Legal System

【Mission: Gather talents into tools】

[Introduction: In the past, the first emperor of Qin collected the world's weapons to cast twelve bronze men, and defeated the immortals against the sky.Now that Confucianism and Taoism are newly established, talents are scattered, and Confucian scholars from all over the world are used for their own use, and talents from all directions are gathered, and the country is the best choice]

[Zhen Guo Jiu Ding: 3/9]

[Mission countdown: 20 years]

[Task Reward: Confucianism and Taoism in this world are only second level]

As a wave of food wars harvested nearly [-]% of the wealth of the Ming gentry, the effect was directly displayed on the task list.

This means that more than [-]% of the Confucian scholars in the entire Ming Dynasty can be used by the imperial court.

The current gentry class in Ming Dynasty is actually a very weird group. They are selfish and can collude with the enemy country for the benefit of the family, and sell the country's interests for personal gain.

They are ignorant, and it is precisely because of the suppression of this class that modern science and technology cannot be developed, because science and technology will liberate the labor force and affect their ruling foundation.

At the same time, they are also very smart, with a strong ability to judge the situation. They know what to do in the face of the general situation to be the most beneficial to the continuation of their family.

But these characteristics were characteristic of the entire gentry class.

In this group, or under the influence of Confucian cultural thought, there will always be a small group of people in every era who can get out of the mud without being stained, and have always had true persistence and persistence in their hearts.

Even dying generously for these persistence and persistence.

Some of them are famous all over the world, such as Hai Rui, such as Zhang Juzheng, and there are also those who have been doing nothing all their lives, such as those who don't know their names.

Even Xu Jie and Yan Song when they were young, they were also passionate young people with their own ideals and aspirations.

It's just that in the big dye vat of the times, they were gradually changed, or actively changed, and finally became what they are now.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw this very clearly. The more politically clear the era, the more capable and wise people will be. The more chaotic the political situation is, the more villains and treacherous people will be.

It is not those villains and treacherous people who created the chaotic era, but in such a chaotic era, only by learning to be treacherous and becoming a villain can one get ahead and gain the right to speak.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang has been acting in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the rules of the court since he came to the Jiajing plane.

Because the laws of the Ming Dynasty were originally set by him, and these were his rules, but the kings of later generations took the lead not to abide by the rules, which made the situation of the Ming Dynasty even more corrupt.

Only by defeating those gentry within the rules can he win the hearts of the gentry all over the world, set things right, bring Daming back on track, and allow a large number of educated people who have come out of the mud to be untouched and who also have Daming in their hearts.

After eight years of hard work, he has actually achieved this.

Now the political situation in Ming Dynasty has returned to the level of the early Ming Dynasty in history, and even clearer than the early Ming Dynasty, because the Sanfa Division was lowered to the county level by him.

Both the supervision of officials and the monitoring of localities have become stronger.

But this is not enough, because now is the era of industry and supernatural parallel.

In this era, he has the opportunity to do more and do better.

Also, after experiencing three different historical planes, especially the plane of great change in the late Qing Dynasty, his thoughts were also freed from shackles, and his vision became broader.

He wanted to add something more exciting and meaningful to Daming in this era.

For example, those things that he thought were ridiculous before, but many people insisted on them, and many people did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for them.

He stretched out his hand, and with a light grasp, a large cauldron was condensed in the void in front of him.

This is the Zhenguo Ding condensed from talents. This tripod is equivalent to a master valve. In the future, Confucian scholars in the world can only obtain talents from Zhenguo Ding.

At least one-third of his talents have already been installed with this valve.

And this tripod has another characteristic, it can give a commonality to talents.

After he endowed the commonality of talent, anyone who is similar to this commonality can sense talent through the Zhenguo Ding. If he does not agree with this commonality in his heart, then he will not be able to get the recognition of the talent released from this Zhenguoding, and he will not be able to accept it. Use your talents.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, and finally with a thought, he condensed the dragon spirit of the emperor's body into a golden writing brush, and solemnly wrote two big gilded characters on the tripod.

"fair!"

This is the foundation of everything. If a country wants long-term stability, it must be fair. Even if true fairness cannot be achieved, it must continue to move closer to this direction.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this was the basic quality that a Confucian scholar should have, and it was also the most basic cognition of all the future Ming Empire, from the emperor to the common people.

And at the moment when the word "fairness" was written on the township tripod, all the talented Confucian scholars in the world were shocked at the same time, and they felt a sense.

They immediately understood that the talents that had no attributes before, the talents that can be obtained naturally as long as they read wisely, broaden their knowledge, and increase their talents, now there is an additional threshold, which is called "fairness".

Only those who agree with "fairness" can gain talent from this township tripod.

"The talents I can mobilize have decreased by one-ninth!" At the same time, in the Imperial Academy, a Hanlin said with a pale face.

"Mine is the same." The other Han Lin pinched the center of his brows, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his mind.

The extraordinary system of Confucianism and Taoism talent actually opened up a secret storehouse.

And it is the most mysterious Niwan Palace among the three secrets of the human body.

This secret treasure is different from Dantian and Qihai, and there are not many records about it even in ancient books or in the Great Zhou Immortal Court.

The only vague records only say that this secret treasure is related to Shinto.

But no one can say exactly what Shinto is.

This is also the reason why the extraordinary system of Confucianism and Taoism talent is so mysterious and special that even the Academy of Sciences has no way of dealing with it.

Soon Zhu Yuanzhang congealed a second Zhenguo tripod.

With little hesitation, he picked up his pen again and wrote the same two words on the Zhenguo tripod: "Legal system."

"A society without the rule of law can only create chaos, and the same is true for a country."

"The Ming Dynasty in the future must be a society governed by the rule of law. Anyone who does not abide by the rule of law will not be able to obtain one-ninth of the talent."

"The talent in my mind has lost one-ninth." In the Hanlin Academy, the Hanlin who spoke for the first time, his face has become extremely ugly at this moment.

But at this time, more Confucian scholars have already reacted.

The only thing that can cause talent to fluctuate in such a large range and directly deprive Confucian scholars of talent is the imperial dragon spirit that is one level higher than talent.

Obviously, this situation must be the handwriting of the Hongwu Emperor.

Moreover, the Hanlin Academy is an imperial court institution after all, and there are some young people who have just entered the officialdom.

Many people still agree with the concept of "legal system", so in fact, a considerable part of Hanlin has not been affected by this time.

They naturally chose to wait and see what happened.

The third Zhen Guo Ding condensed out.

This time when Zhu Yuanzhang faced this Zhen Guo Ding, he was rarely lost in thought, and he hesitated.

But in the end he still picked up the pen and wrote two words on the cauldron again: "Justice"

This is a ridiculous word in the eyes of many people, even before Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because he has experienced the darkest times, he knows very well that justice is a piece of shit in front of power, and this world is essentially a world where the weak prey on the strong.

In his previous cognition, only the strong are qualified to talk about justice, and the weak are only worthy to eat shit.

From a beggar with a bowl at the beginning, he became the current emperor of Ming Dynasty, and he has also done many unjust things.

Inscribing this commonality on the Zhen Guo Ding is not only a bondage to those Confucian scholars, but also a bondage to himself.

Because if the concept of justice is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then if he does some unjust things again, he will be condemned by public opinion and lose the hearts of the people.

This will make him unable to use many means in the future.

But in the end he wrote down this commonality.

Because the people need it.

And the people are the foundation of the prosperity of the Ming Empire. He has come to his current position step by step from the poor people, and it is easy to empathize with the people's thoughts.

When ordinary people suffer unfair treatment, what they hope most is for someone who can uphold justice to appear.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had the responsibility to let more and more people like this appear in Ming Dynasty.

He is also responsible for building a true justice and order for the future Ming Empire.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Yan Ge, Mr. Xu Ge and others are asking to see you outside." The commonality of the three township tripods was all given, and Zhu Yuanzhang finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He is looking forward to what changes will happen to those extraordinary Confucianism and Taoism when talents are endowed with these three commonalities.

"Let them in!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

Just let us see whether these bachelors who have always "concerned about the country and the people" have these three qualities.

"Your Majesty!" Soon, led by Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, more than 20 academicians rushed in.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these people with his eyes, and under his eyes that contained the royal way and dragon spirit, he could clearly see the changes in the talents of these people.

There was only one person whose talent hadn't changed at all, and that was Hai Rui.

The rest, even Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, lack justice, let alone the concept of fairness.

Rather, the concept of the rule of law is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang also understands this, if he wants to be an official in Ming Dynasty, things like fairness and justice are definitely luxuries.

People who have such a concept have long been swept out of the officialdom.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened?"

"Why is the talent in the world suddenly so turbulent, and we all sense the lack of talent." Zhang Juzheng spoke first.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hide it either, and directly waved his hand, showing the three township tripods condensed from the system in front of everyone.

And truthfully told everyone the commonality written on the three tripods.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, none was more excited than Hai Rui.

"Your Majesty, this... from now on, the great order of the world is just around the corner!"

"Your Majesty really possesses the unfathomable power of gods and ghosts."

The Emperor Jiajing next to him couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the words. He thought Hai Rui was a tough guy who couldn't flatter. Now it seems that this person is very proficient in this way!

"Heh, no matter how hard-bodied civil servants are, they have to bow down in front of Taizu!" Emperor Jiajing said proudly.

"So that's the case, the minister knows!"

Zhang Juzheng nodded thoughtfully, and a hint of surprise also flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, his talent began to fluctuate, that is, within a short time of saluting, his missing talent was restored.

"It's worthy of being a famous prodigy, and it's worthy of being a reformer of future generations, not bad!"

Zhang Juzheng's changes happened right in front of his eyes, and Zhu Yuanzhang naturally saw it, and couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng's performance and hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's admiration, how could everyone not know what kind of character His Majesty the Emperor could see in them.

This immediately made everyone feel a substantial and heavy pressure.

It was as if he took off his clothes in an instant and stood here naked to be visited by His Majesty in public.

"Now that you understand what's going on, let's all go back!"

"Don't worry, we understand you. These three qualities are just our expectations for the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty in the future. It doesn't mean they must have them. We will still treat them equally in the future!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and comforted everyone.

"Fuck!" Xu Jie, Yan Song and the others thanked on the face, but they didn't believe it at all in their hearts.

If Lao Zhu's words can be believed, then a sow can climb a tree.

"Also, after you go back, spread the word about this matter, let everyone know the whole story, and tell them that only the court's capacity will apply in the future. These three qualities will become one of the important references."

"Look..., isn't this beating coming?" Everyone looked clear in their hearts, and at the same time nodded respectfully.

After leaving Beiyuan, everyone glanced at each other, and they all understood that the new era of Daming was really coming.

In the future, this mentality seems to be further changed.

Of course, they are still very confident in themselves, and they don't think they can't agree with fairness and justice.

It's just that it takes time.

After all, not everyone is a monster like Zhang Juzheng!
Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui were left behind.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two, pondered for a while and continued: "Actually, there are nine town tripods in total, and only three of them have been condensed now. There are still six that need to be further gathered to continue to condense."

"Tell me, how do you gather this talent?"

"This……."

Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment and finally said: "I think the best way to gather talents is to reform the current imperial examination system, so that scholars in the world can return to their hearts."

Hai Rui nodded in agreement.

"Looks like we're thinking of going together!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Well, you two, get ready, we will send you to the main world to inspect the imperial examination system there."

"We'll let Biao'er receive you, how about you discuss a practical solution together?"
