Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 386 Law Format
When Cao Sengnu heard this, he didn't dare to say anything, but just prostrated himself on the ground, trembling all over without saying a word.Wang Wenzuo smiled, and stretched out his hand to help Sengnu Cao up: "You don't need to be like this, Sengnu. I met Uncle Ling when I was humble, and we have a deep friendship. As long as you do things honestly, you don't need to worry!"

Cao Sengnu repeatedly said yes, and carefully retreated after a while, Cui Hongdu smiled and said: "This kid is really lucky, what many people can't get even if they work hard, but it fell on his head!"

"Is there anything more difficult than being lucky?" Wang Wenzuo sighed, "It would be great if Liu Wu could live to this day!" Having said this, his eyes were slightly moist!
"Yes!" Cui Hongdu couldn't help flashing Liu An's appearance before his death, and felt a pang of sorrow in his heart: "This is also fate, you can't force it!"

Wang Wenzuo didn't speak, walked to the window and looked out, and after a long time whispered: "It's getting late, everyone should go to rest early!"

Asuka, Kawahara Palace.

Through the long and narrow corridor, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled the ground, and hung dark red stripes on the walls.It used to be covered with murals of Empress Shengong's expedition to Silla. Since the eldest brother and prince persuaded his mother to send troops to Baekje, they have been painted by skilled painters. Everyone who walks through this corridor can see it clearly.Now those exquisite murals have been covered by dry white lime, and only a little bit can be seen in some places where the lime has peeled off.

The prince of Hairen sat behind a twelve-foot-long table, which was specially made by Zhong Daxie - unlike the Tang Dynasty, the Yamato Dynasty at that time did not have a mature hierarchical bureaucracy and laws According to the system, most of the big and small matters have to be submitted to the eldest brother and the prince himself for his decision. If there are so many matters, if you don't prepare a few longer cases, how can you arrange them?
As the legend goes, it was not a comfortable place after these cases. After only one morning, Hairen felt his thigh throbbing uncontrollably. According to Brother Zhong, all requests for instructions on several cases should be dealt with before dark.Damn these requests!The seaman prince thought gloomyly, the guys who sent these requests for instructions should also die.

"Are you sure you want to reduce or exempt the tax in these places?" Prince Zhong asked. Heartbroken, I saw that the minister Kamazu didn't look through the files, but skillfully recited the disasters that occurred in several places in the past two years, the rice harvest situation in the past few years, and the labor and soldiers conscripted in the past few years, and finally said It is indeed the most critical juncture for these places to request tax reduction or exemption. If they do not agree, there will inevitably be a famine in the local area, and most of the tribesmen will starve to death.

"Very good, then grant their request!" The prince nodded in satisfaction, "Others say that my promotion to the position of Zhongchenqing violated the rules since ancient times, and it was out of my own selfishness. But if there is no Zhongchen Qing, I really don't know how to deal with so many things!"

"Your Highness, thank you!" Zhongchen said with his head bowed.

"I haven't won any prizes, it's a fact!" Prince Zhong said with a smile, "People from Haihai, if one day you become king, then Zhongchenqing is the best gift I can give you!"

"Thank you, brother!" The Hairen prince laughed: "But is there no better way? I think it's too much to put all the affairs of a country on Zhongchenqing alone!"

"There is a way!" Nakatomi said.

"Oh, what's the way?" asked the sea man prince.

"Promulgate laws and regulations in the name of the emperor, use laws and regulations instead of a person's intelligence to decide right and wrong, and govern the country!" Nakatomi said.

"Law?" The seaman asked suspiciously.

"Yes, laws!" Nakatomi Kamazu explained in a deep voice: "To be precise, it is the format of laws: laws are punishment provisions for various illegal acts; orders are regulations promulgated by the emperor. Use the law to punish him; the grid is the "old example" left by the past sages, and the owner must follow the grid to supervise the subordinates. Modified regulations; formulas are the various rules and regulations of government agencies. Officials must write articles and programs according to the formulas, so as to ensure the correct flow of political affairs! That is, the law uses the punishment to convict crimes, the order establishes norms and rules, and the style prohibits violations and evils. With the above four things, even a mediocre lord can bring peace to the country!"

"The format of laws and decrees mentioned by Zhong Chenqing should be the way the people of Tang governed the country, right?" Hai Ren asked.

"That's right!" Zhongchen Kamatsu nodded, "To be precise, it's the Wei people's way of governing the country, because before the Tang people, the Sui people had formulated laws, decrees, patterns, and styles during Kaihuang's reign, as a model for future generations. The Sui people are derived from the "Linzhige" and "Datongshi" of the Wei people, as well as the Jingming Kaoge and Zhengshi Kaoge for official performance evaluation, Fang Sige and Dingniange about the electoral system, and the criminal law system. The Zhengshibige and Yongpingjiuge, as well as the bounty and recruitment form for recruiting or arresting fugitives. If you want to learn more about them, you have to read them all!"

"Zhongchenqing is indeed a master of Tang studies. The format of laws and regulations is so important, why not promulgate them one by one!" The Hairen prince looked at Zhongchen Kamazu with admiration. In his eyes, this person was his brother's lackey. A type of person, after hearing what he said today, I understand why my elder brother just said that if he ascends the throne, then Zhongchen Lianzu will be the best gift for him. People regard it as a treasure!
"Because it's not the time yet!" Zhong eldest brother Prince replied.

"Isn't it time? Isn't this legal format a good thing for the country?"

"Even if it is a good thing, it must be done at the right time. If the conditions are not met, it will only be counterproductive if you rush to implement it!" Speaking of this, the eldest brother and the prince sighed: "I thought that in the past two years, we could do it gradually. The implementation, looking at it now, will be delayed for several years!" Seeing that the prince from Haihai was still confused, he said to Zhongchen: "Your Excellency, please explain!"

"Yes!" Zhongchen Lianzu replied: "Your Highness, the format of laws and decrees is actually derived from the authority of the emperor. In the Tang Dynasty, the emperor ruled on behalf of the heavens, without relatives and selflessness, so that the country can be politically clear, with one mind and one mind, and then conquer the Quartet In our country, the leaders of all ministries have authority, even the king cannot govern his people, and the shrine and the royal family have their own personal interests. Under the constraints of all parties, how can they promulgate the law? Even if the law is promulgated, How can it be implemented? Brother Ling wanted to send troops to Baekje at the beginning, that is, to restore the four counties, and to expand the territory, and then use his prestige to reform the country and promulgate laws. But after the first battle of Baijiangkou, many Let’s not mention the matter for the time being!”

When Hai Hairen heard this, he subconsciously turned his eyes to his elder brother, and smiled at himself: "Ha Hairen, if I fail, after you become king, you can also use Zhongchen Qing to comfort my unfulfilled wish!"

The seaman nodded silently.

"Your Highness, there is an urgent letter from Nambatsu!" said a waiter outside.

"Nambatsu? What's the matter?" Prince Zhong asked, "Could it be that the tribute ship from far away has run aground again?"

"No, there are four big ships docking, and the people on board claim to be envoys from the Tang Dynasty, and they came to make good friends at the order of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Also, Princess Saitama has just left the shrine and is heading for Nambatsu!"

"What?" Prince Zhong stood up subconsciously, he and Zhongchen Kamzu looked at each other, and said to Dahai: "Dahai, you go back first!"

The eldest brother, the prince, took off the dagger from his waist, drew it out of its sheath, and touched the cold metal with his fingers. This was a gift from his mother. The blade drank the blood of many royal families. Is it going to drink another one this time? Blood of the same race?
"Your Highness, since the Tang people have already arrived in Nambatsu, it is impossible to prevent them from entering the capital! In this case, instead of being passive, it is better to take the initiative to welcome them!"

"You are right, Zhongchenqing, but the problem is that once the Tang people enter the capital, they must accept the credentials. Now that there is no one in the country, who will accept the credentials?"

"Your Highness is worrying too much!" Zhongchen Lianzu laughed: "Although you have not ascended the throne yet, when the late king was alive, you were the one who handled the government affairs. There are things like the crown prince supervising the country and regent, so why not?"

"If that's the case, that would be great!" The Prince Zhong was overjoyed when he heard the words, but then he said worriedly, "What about Empress Qiyu? She has a big enmity with me, and there must be a plan to meet the envoys of the Tang Dynasty at this juncture! "

"That's true!" Nakatomi Kamazu nodded: "Princess Saitama is decisive. If she is a man, she is indeed your enemy. But after all, the people of Tang came from afar. It's not scary!"

"Preemptive strike? You mean—"

"It's like dealing with the prince Youjian, hit the leader, and the rest will be relieved!" Zhongchen said with a calm expression, "If His Highness agrees, I will leave it to my subordinates at this time!"

The eldest brother, the prince, did not give an answer immediately. He paced back and forth in the room, seemingly unable to make up his mind for a while.Nakatomi Kamazu didn't urge him, but just sat beside the table and said nothing.After a long time, the prince suddenly laughed and said, "Your Excellency, when we decided to assassinate Su Wo, everyone else was pale and trembling with their pens. You were the only one who wrote down your name on the affidavit. Seriously!" Dayong also!"

"It's nothing but killing a thief!"

"Yeah!" Eldest Brother Zhong nodded his head: "Then I will leave everything to you!"

"Follow your order!" Zhong Chen bowed his head with his hands and bowed, then got up and retreated.

Namba Tsu.

"I thought you were an old man with a long beard, but I didn't expect you to be so young and handsome!"

Hearing the first words of Princess Qiyu from the interpreter, Wang Wenzuo laughed: "I also swear to you, even in Chang'an, I have never seen a beauty like you!"

"Really?" Princess Saitama laughed: "That's such a pity, it wasn't you who was in Tachibana Palace that night!"

Wang Wenzuo was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, glanced at Cui Hongdu at the side, and said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing regrettable, this is my good friend, and it is a good thing to have a fate with you, the princess!"

"That's not bad!" Princess Qiyu glanced at Cui Hongdu and said with a smile: "Ambassador Cui is a good man, but he is not as good as you. If you are free, you can come to Amaterasu Shrine and get married too. Next fate!"

Faced with such a bold provocation from Empress Qiyu, Cui Hongdu was already blushing, but Wang Wenzuo had already prepared himself mentally. The form of marriage also has strong traces of the matrilineal clan. If a man is interested in a woman, or a woman is interested in a man, he will give a hint, and the man will come to the woman's house, or sing poems, or play and sing songs to show that Love, if both parties agree, the woman will still live in her own home, and the man will go to the woman's home to meet. During this process, both parties can choose another spouse. The man will not build a house and live with the woman until after pregnancy.The behavior of Empress Saitama is a typical behavior of "visiting his wife for marriage". As long as she has not been pregnant for a day, she can freely choose the man she likes to have an intimate relationship. In his eyes, he was used to it.

"Let's not mention the matter of fate!" Although Wang Wenzuo knew that Princess Qiyu's behavior did not violate the customs of the Japanese people at that time, he still couldn't bear it: "I don't know why the princess came to visit rashly!"

"Without him, I just want to use the power of Tang Dynasty to kill Katsuragi!" Princess Saitama is worthy of being a hero among women, one second she was talking about fate, and the next second she was talking about taking someone's life.Wang Wenzuo smiled slightly: "The Gecheng you are talking about is the prince of Brother Zhong, right? I'm afraid this is beyond my power!"

"You and I are beyond our power, but if we work together, we will take the head of the thief!" Princess Qiyu laughed and said: "And as long as the eldest brother and prince Zhong are in power, you don't even want to get Fuyu Fengzhang!"

"Oh? Why is that? Is Fuyu Fengzhang so important to the prince Zhong?"

"When Fuyu Fengzhang escaped from Baekje, he brought back tens of thousands of people. Abe Hirov is also a famous general in the country. If the eldest brother and the prince hand over Fuyu Fengzhang, he will offend Abe Hirov and lose He can't afford to lose more than ten thousand people!"

"This is just a one-sided opinion of the princess!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Although Fuyu Fengzhang is important, compared to Tang Dynasty, I believe that the eldest brother, the prince, can still understand the importance!"

"If the envoy doesn't believe it, just wait and see!" Princess Qiyu laughed and said, "It won't be too late for you to come to Amaterasu Shrine to look for me at that time!"

"That's fine!" Wang Wenzuo didn't want to say anything to death: "If it's true what the princess said, then he will naturally come to bother the princess!"

　I'm too busy these days, so the update time is not stable, I hope it will be better next week, sorry!
