I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 430 The new law of the Ming Dynasty!Lao Zhu’s reminder!
But it is really difficult to implement the new Ming law.

And the real difficulty!Endless resistance!

Because this time, it was the real officials of the Ming Dynasty who had their flesh cut off!It really touches the core interests of all officials!

It is different from the previous migration of powerful people and common people to open up wasteland.

No matter how hard it is, it is still suffering for the people.

No matter how difficult it is, it is still very difficult.

It is not difficult for officials in the Ming Dynasty officialdom!Therefore, no one would really oppose Zhu Yunxian with all his heart, let alone make Zhu Yunxian difficult!
But now it's different!
This is Zhu Yunxuan really using a knife to cut their flesh!

Ming Law, whose rights are restricted?

Exactly the rights of all officials!

Zhu Yunzhen wanted to completely restrict the rights of officials in this clear code, and anything beyond the stipulated powers would be prohibited!
Especially local officials.

Zhu Yunxu even demanded that the right of county-level officials in the Ming Dynasty to abuse lynchings should be completely abolished, and that everything must be reported to Dali Temple.

Then verify it with the Ministry of Punishment!

For local officials, what is the difference between holding a knife to their necks?
To know.

Now the power of the Ming County Magistrate is very great!Has the right to take life and death!
Although it must be reported to the court, or even to the emperor, before the criminal can be beheaded.

But the severe torture below can directly kill someone!
Many prisoners did not die where they were beheaded, but died in prison!
I don’t know how many innocent people’s lives were lost in this dark and damp prison!
After all, many of the people imprisoned in prison are not actual criminals, but ordinary people!Otherwise, dynasties and dynasties would not have often granted amnesty to the world!
It is because there are so many innocent people who died in prison and lynching!
Isn’t it obvious that the proliferation of lynchings will lead to countless unjust, false and wrongful convictions?Naturally, Zhu Yunzhen could not allow such ancient rules to continue to spread in the Ming Dynasty.

Severe punishments and severe laws are absolutely unacceptable!
If you want to be punished, you can report it to the court!Never allow lynching!

But this order, for these officials.

But it’s really going to kill you!

To put it bluntly, it is discretion.

For transportation and information reasons, sufficient discretion must be given to local officials.

However, excessive discretion will inevitably lead to serious corruption.

Because officials can make discretionary decisions as they please, so how can there be any reason not to be corrupt?

Human nature is so!
Everyone is used to having these powers in their hands as officials, but now suddenly a piece of official document will take away these powers and transfer them to the central court.

How could the local officials of Ming Dynasty accept this?
Even some honest officials criticized this. After all, reporting the prisoners' affairs to the court undoubtedly added a lot of procedures.

If the culprit is really in front of him, he refuses to say anything.

Do we still have to wait for the higher-ups to speak before we can interrogate him? !

As for the officials in the court, although it seems that the power of the local government has been handed over to the court this time, in fact, it is a weakening of the power of all officials!
And Zhu Yunzhen's demands are more than that.

This is simply to put all officials under tight restrictions!On the contrary, it has amplified the freedom of the people to a certain extent!
Completely cancel the road guide system, even though this system is already in name only in today's Ming Dynasty.

Simultaneously.

The handling of cases is divided into two types: civil cases and criminal cases.

Some trivial matters are left to the people below to deal with, especially some original moral issues, and the death penalty cannot be allowed.

and raise the level of criminal cases.

As long as the situation is even slightly serious, it will definitely attract the attention of the state capital above, and people will be sent down from the state capital's inspection department.

Assist the local government in handling this matter.

It is also in the concept of the Great Ming Law that a concept has been established, that is, the concept of putting the people of the world first!

Officially, human life, the lives of common people, are set at the highest level!

What Zhu Yunzhen wanted was to truly realize Lao Zhu's wish and let the people of the Ming Dynasty truly live a good life.

It’s not just about food and clothing!
It is about allowing all people of Ming Dynasty to live in a fair and just environment as much as possible!

Although this was too difficult for Daming.

It's even impossible for this world.

But Zhu Yunxuan is still willing to work hard for this.

This is truly putting the people of the world in your heart, this is truly thinking about Ming Dynasty!
But in this era.

Zhu Yunxuan cannot pursue absolute fairness and justice, but strives to achieve the ultimate level of everything he has achieved so far.

Power, after all, is the essence of the court!

Absolute power is what all officials pursue!After all, there are still only a few officials who truly serve the people!
I want Ming Dynasty to continue its journey.

Officials must have sufficient power in their hands, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will be in trouble immediately. After all, these officials are still needed to help manage various places in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Yunzhen's own mentality is also very contradictory.

It is necessary to reduce the power in the hands of officials, but not too much.

Otherwise, local officials will quit.

Although the Ming Dynasty will not disintegrate, it will inevitably fall into a period of suffering, waiting for new officials to fill in.

And Zhu Yunxuan has this complicated and contradictory mentality.

Report to the Advisory Office.

They were instantly divided into two factions. One faction was firmly opposed to Zhu Yunxun's reforms and wanted to continue to use the previous ideas of the Ming Dynasty.

The other group advocates change, but does not support Zhu Yunxuan's large-scale changes based on the original Ming law.

Overall, all officials tended to be conservative.

The law is the life and soul of a country!
Don't touch it without permission!

Even Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji, Yang Rong and others did not absolutely support Zhu Yunxian.

After all this time.

There are too many things Zhu Yunzhen wants to move!It’s too big!

Royal Palace.

Royal study.

Zhu Yunxuan looked at the results of the consultation by the ministers of the Counseling Office.

He looked very dissatisfied.

Many of his proposals were not only rejected collectively by the ministers in the Advisory Office, but they were even lectured on.

How can Zhu Yunzhen not be angry?

How can one be satisfied?
However, in the face of such unified opinions from ministers and officials, Zhu Yunzhen felt that he was powerless.

If only a few people object to this matter.

Then Zhu Yunxuan can still rely on his power as the crown prince to convince everyone!
But now, almost all officials are opposed. So just relying on Zhu Yunzhen's own authority, even if he convinced all the officials this time, what about next time?

The dissatisfaction in the hearts of the officials will become more and more serious!

The efficiency of the Ming Dynasty has been greatly reduced!Today's Ming Dynasty is in a period of rapid development!

If all the officials of the Ming Dynasty were ruined.

Who will help Zhu Yunzhen?If this matter is not handled properly, even if another group of officials is replaced, the situation will be the same.

The most fundamental thing is to let these officials agree on their own!
"Maybe on this matter... I'm afraid I still have to ask Grandpa Huang for his opinion."

Zhu Yunzhen was worried.

I couldn't help but think of Lao Zhu. Maybe Lao Zhu would have a solution for this matter.

After all, Lao Zhu was much older than Zhu Yunxuan when he became emperor!
As long as Zhu Yunzhen doesn't understand something.

Go to Lao Zhu to discuss it, maybe we can solve it.

.........

Daming Hospital.

Zhu Yunzhen came directly to find Lao Zhu.

Ask the person for advice on the matter.

After explaining the matter to Lao Zhu, there was a trace of struggle in Zhu Yunzhen's eyes for the first time.

Asked: "Grandpa Huang, tell me, did I really do something wrong, grandson?" "Grandpa Huang asked me to put the common people of the world first, and my grandson did so, but do these officials, in front of their hearts, not have a single thought?" Do you want to pay attention to the people?"

What made Zhu Yunzhen most uncomfortable was not the opposition from the officials.

But even his favorite ministers, Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji and others, also opposed it.

And he also persuaded Zhu Yunzhen in turn.

How could Zhu Yunxuan accept this?
But after thinking about it, Zhu Yunzhen finally understood that Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji and the others were not Yu Qian, the minister who truly protected the Ming Dynasty and extended its life for 200 years!

In Yu Qian's heart, this world is not only the world of the Zhu family, but also the world of the people of the Ming Dynasty!
He really adjusted the position of the people of Ming Dynasty to the same level as the throne of the old Zhu family in his heart!

But in the hearts of Yang Shiqi and Xia Yuanji, this world belongs to the Zhu family, and this world also belongs to all officials!

When hundreds of officials assist the emperor of the Zhu family, it is natural for them to decentralize power from the emperor.

Gain power.

Otherwise, why should officials defend the emperor?Why obey the imperial edict?

This is a fundamental difference!
But how few Yu Qian there are in the world?How could this world accommodate a person like Yu Qian? !
The position of emperor is the ultimate in selfishness!
Take the power of the world into one body!
Then divide the power among hundreds of officials and let them monitor the world for you!This is the so-called family world!
but now.

Zhu Yunzhen's thoughts were divided.

Because Zhu Yunzhen has never been able to change his old problem from beginning to end, that is, his awareness of the rule of law is too strong!

After all, Zhu Yunxuan came from later generations.

There will always be some gap between you and this world.

Even though Zhu Yunzhen has integrated into this world and this era as much as possible over the years, he knows in his heart that his thoughts and concepts are often not in line with the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty.

But deep down in his heart, Zhu Yunzhen still felt that he was right!
This is a kind of persistence!
Stick to your conscience!

"Zhen'er, you have to remember that most of the time when officials in the DPRK object, they don't object to any of your decrees."

Lao Zhu enlightened: "It's a certain expectation that I oppose!"

"Your expectations are bound to be incompatible with the officials, so they will stop it!"

"And it must be stopped!"

"Even if I finally have to agree to your request and get this thing done, because of this strong obstruction, you will no longer want to continue to implement what you originally wanted to do in the future."

"This is a game between officials and the emperor!"

"You have to get used to him!"

"And try to make this kind of game normal! There is a game between officials and the emperor all the time!"

"But at the same time, we are also cooperating all the time!"

"As an emperor, the most important thing is to find the balance between winning and losing in this game!"

“You don’t necessarily have to win big on your own.”

"Remember, what you need is a balance between cooperation and confrontation!"

"Let the officials of the Ming Dynasty know that you, Zhu Yunxuan, have the ability and prestige to solve this matter, but you will care about the face and dignity of the officials of the Ming Dynasty."

"Choose to give in!"

"Only by giving them enough dignity and decency, as the emperor and the prince, will you get enough dignity and decency!"

Lao Zhu’s words can be said to be true to every word!

After hearing this, Zhu Yunxuan suddenly became enlightened!
The key point of the matter is not the matter itself at all, but Zhu Yunzhen's attitude!

Zhu Yunzhen's attitude chilled all the officials, making them think that Zhu Yunzhen no longer needed them, and even said that he planned to continuously reduce their power and replace them!

This attitude is what Baiguan really objects to!

Zhu Yunzhen's expectation is nothing more than to use the law to completely replace local officials and make local officials become laws that can only speak!

But is this what the officials want to see?

it's not true!

That's why they have to fight against Zhu Yunxuan!And it’s a desperate confrontation!Because only in this way will Zhu Yunzhen give up such unrealistic ideas and plans!

After listening to Lao Zhu’s words.

Only then could Zhu Yunxi suddenly wake up and realize this level.

Lao Zhu is still much better than Zhu Yunxian in being emperor!All that's missing is Zhu Yunxuan's broadened vision from hundreds of years later!

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson knows!"

"My grandson will definitely be able to handle this matter and resolve everything properly!"

Zhu Yunxuan looked solemn.

He bowed and gave a big salute. This was not just a courtesy to his grandfather.

Not exactly courtesy to the emperor either.

It's a courtesy to a teacher!It was Lao Zhu who taught him how to be an emperor!
Zhu Yunzhen slowly learned what a truly qualified emperor is!

And what makes an excellent emperor!
There is no doubt that Lao Zhu is an extremely excellent emperor!
And Lao Zhu was very happy to see Zhu Yunxuan become enlightened.

After all, Zhu Yunzhen is not a senior student, and he can get through it easily. Zhu Yunzhen's future must be very promising.

The only pity is... Lao Zhu can't see it himself.

This is his biggest regret!But it is also a regret that can never be expressed!

He is old.

An old emperor deserves to die.

If you blindly pursue immortality and refine elixirs to become an immortal, it will only lead to the decline of the originally prosperous Ming Dynasty!

Die!

Let Zhu Yunxun succeed to the throne!

This is what Lao Zhu thinks he should really do!
After Zhu Yunxuan leaves.

Lao Zhu couldn't help but burst into tears.

In front of me, a beautiful figure seemed to appear, accompanied by children of several years old.

Lao Zhu's eyes were blurred by tears.

But I still know clearly that that beautiful figure is none other than Queen Ma who died in the 15th year of Hongwu!
Next to her is Zhu Biao, who died in Hongwu 25 years ago!
And the second child!Third child!

"Sister...just wait for me...wait until I see Zuo'er ascend the throne."

"Wait until I take this last breath!"

"We're here to look for you and Biao'er! When we get to Jiuquanxia, ​​we must talk to my sister and Biao'er about the changes in Ming Dynasty over the years."

"There are also Fu'er's achievements!"

"Let you... rest in peace even under the Nine Springs!"

Lao Zhu has been holding his breath!

Not for anything else.

Just to be able to see the day when Zhu Yunxuan ascends the throne!
Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed, and Lao Zhu, who was supposed to die in the leap month of the 31st year of Hongwu, had this tone.

Survive into winter!
Outside the window, it was the winter of Hongwu 31.

Capital...

It started to snow.

red silk.

Fine snow.

breeze.

Such Ming Dynasty... is extremely beautiful.
