Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 745 Three divisions formulate the Code of the Ming Dynasty to unify the laws and make the world unified

Zhu Wenfang asked: "The emperor died suddenly and inexplicably, and no one investigated the cause of death?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Both your great-grandfather Renmiao and your great-grandmother seemed unwilling to let your grandfather, the wise and powerful Emperor Xuanmiao, succeed to the throne.

The person who likes your grandfather and calls your grandfather a good grandson is Emperor Taizong. This is called a close relationship between generations.

As soon as Renmiao succeeded to the throne, he rushed Xuanmiao to Nanjing to supervise the country. The name given was quite nice, and Xuan Miao was asked to go to Nanjing to plan the relocation of the capital. Anyway, I didn't quite believe it.

Renmiao was emperor for less than a year and died suddenly.

If I were Xuan Miao, I wouldn't investigate the cause of death. That would be too much time. Just die, just die. The reason is that there is a hereditary disease in Lao Zhu's family. Why should I check it? Just believe it and that's it.

Once he becomes the emperor, he is no longer a normal person, but a political creature. The Tian family has no father and son, no family ties, to put it bluntly, that’s it. "

Zhu Wenfang replied: "Dad, I am different. I am the most loving and filial person."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "I know that the Tian family is not all without family ties, but there are just a few. For example, Taizu and Prince Yiwen are the real father and son.

The father and son share a team, and Taizu himself is the biggest princeling.

And our father and son have a better relationship than Taizu and Prince Yiwen. I am now looking forward to abdicating the throne as soon as possible and becoming the Supreme Emperor. I hope you will succeed tomorrow. "

Zhu Wenfang smiled and said: "That's not okay. I think there are many things that can offend people. Dad, you can't back down.

At least, I'll pull out all the thorns on this thorn scepter and give it to my son. "

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he gritted his teeth and praised: "Okay, okay, my great eldest son is so filial. He will really find me dirty jobs to do, and he will clearly arrange all these errands for me that offend the dead and not pay for my life." "

"Dad, don't be so serious every day, be more lively."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu complained about the great pain: "Hey, actually, I am not a serious person, I am also very lively and cute.

It's just that since he came to the throne, various military and political affairs have been too depressing. What kind of mess did your grandfather, the wise and mighty Emperor Xuanmiao, leave to me and your uncle?

Oops, there’s so much butt to wipe. Your uncle was completely fooled, and I was completely out of breath.

Every day when I wake up and open my eyes, there are countless things on my mind. Your two youngest girls are also very hard-working. They piled the memorials on the coffee table of the soft couch early in the morning.

As soon as I opened my eyes from the bed, I saw a lot of memorials and military reports, which made me feel psychologically shadowed.

The whole empire is full of problems, how can you make me lively. "

Zhu Wenfang expressed deep sympathy and comforted him: "Why don't dad rest before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? It's freezing in the north anyway, so it's no big deal. I'll take care of dad for two months."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "That's not right. I accept your filial piety, but I always feel that it will not be peaceful recently. Don't think that people will just stay there if it's cold.

I always have a premonition that something big is going to happen to the Tatars and Oaras in the north. "

"A big event? What big event? In the middle of winter, are the Tatars and Oara tribes capable of mobilizing large armies to fight?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Let's see, maybe I'm too worried."

……

On the winter solstice, Zhu Qiyu gave an extremely rare banquet to all his ministers.

In the Qingyun Hall, the vassal kings, nobles, and important ministers in Beijing gathered together and had a good time.

Regardless of any hidden conflicts, everyone maintained their due dignity on this important occasion.

In the past, when there were internal and external troubles, everyone was relatively united. Until the orthodox status of Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Jianshen is completely abolished, Zhu Qiyu's cronies are in no mood to engage in internal fighting. Without internal fighting, it will be very difficult to deal with internal and external situations. If there is more internal fighting, the ship may sink and everyone will drown together.

Nowadays, no one in the entire Qingyun Palace is loyal to Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Qizhen, and Zhu Jianshen.

North Korea, Japan, Annan, Burma, Siam, Uszang and other places were all captured, and Oara and Tatar were also suppressed into obscurity and did not dare to invade the border.

If we don’t fight for power and share the fruits of victory now, then we’ll wait until later.

Zhu Qiyu sat high on the throne and had a panoramic view of everyone's subtle expressions. Although he knew it well, he didn't care.

After three drinks and a long concluding speech, the monarch and his ministers became more casual.

Zhu Qiyu asked Li Sicheng, King of Pingyuan: "King Pingyuan, you have military counselors accompanying you in your campaign against Korea and Japan. Now that the war has been decided, what do you think of this journey?"

Li Sicheng was originally the younger brother of Li Jun, King of Annan. After Annan was destroyed, Li Sicheng was sent by Zhu Qiyu to follow the army to destroy North Korea and Japan.

Let the nobles of the subjugated country follow the Ming army to destroy other people's countries. How should I put it, it's a bit like pointing at the monks and scolding the bald donkeys. At least that's how Li Sicheng understood it, thinking that the emperor was beating himself up to frighten the original Annan royal family.

This is a twist. Zhu Qiyu actually wanted to reuse Li Sicheng and set a benchmark for the emperor to treat the subjugated nobles well.

No matter what, when the emperor asked a question, he had to answer it. Li Sicheng stood up and left his seat, bowed deeply, and then replied: "Your Majesty, I have heard and witnessed with the ears of the ministers, wherever the Ming army went, they did not commit any crimes. The military discipline was strict, and they were the true king's division.

The people of Korea and Japan, who had been oppressed and exploited for a long time, were now merged into the Ming Dynasty and under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. It was like a long drought and a sudden rain. It is truly a great blessing for the people to receive the blessing from God. "

Zhu Qiyu secretly laughed in his heart. This Pingyuan King was only sixteen years old, but he was already so proficient in flattering him.

After a thousand wears but no flattery, Zhu Qiyu continued to ask with a slight smile: "It is easy to conquer a country, but it is difficult to sit on a country. How to protect the country and the people, so that North Korea and Japan can integrate into the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, do you have any suggestions?"

Hearing this question, Li Sicheng stopped talking about false and empty words: "Reporting to the Holy Emperor, a humble minister can catch a glimpse of the leopard and gain a brief insight."

"My dear, please speak."

"Weichen believes that the imperial court should formulate and promulgate a universal code of laws. It should make unified provisions on criminal law, litigation, civil affairs, marriage and other aspects involving people's lives.

The original two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the newly incorporated North Korea, Japan, Annan, Myanmar, Siam, Champa and other places all operated according to the same set of codes.

In this way, the people can not only understand right from wrong and follow the law, but also make the nine states and all directions tend to be harmonious. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded, isn't this the same text as Qin Shihuang's books, and the same car as the same track? It's just that Qin Shihuang assimilated traditional China, but what he wants to assimilate now is the new Ming Empire, which has a radius of more than ten thousand miles.

Li Sicheng meant this, but in terms of expression, he did not dare to mention Qin Shihuang.

In today's era, urging the emperor to imitate Qin Shihuang, or saying that the emperor is like Qin Shihuang, is a personal attack on the emperor, and the consequences will be very serious.

But the idea of ​​world harmony is correct. Zhu Qiyu nodded and expressed deep approval: "I have already ordered the Ministry of Punishment to preside over the formulation of the Civil Code.

But this is more complicated and has not been completed yet.

Let's do this. The Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple will jointly take the lead and concentrate their efforts to complete it next year. King Pingyuan should also participate.

What do you think this code should be named? "

Wang Wen heard this and replied: "I think it is most appropriate to call it the Ming Code."
