Ji Tang

Chapter 730

"What are you here for?"

Seeing his eldest grandson, Pingyang frowned and said impatiently.

The eldest grandson didn't take it seriously. With You Ning's help, he took the main position. He ignored Ping Yang, picked up the brewed tea and drank it by himself.

Anger flashed on Pingyang's face. Seeing that a 'brawl' was about to break out, Ji Song hurriedly said: "Why is the empress here? I didn't say anything in advance, so I should be ready!"

"What are you preparing for? What else do I need to prepare for coming to my daughter's house?"

Changsun glared at Ji Song, knowing that this boy was trying to make peace with Xini, but that was not the case today!
He passed Ji Song, then glanced at Pingyang, and said in a strange tone: "Some people don't stay at home, but go to my daughter and son-in-law's house to show off their power. Are they pretending that I, a mother, don't exist?"

"you"

Ping Yang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. When had he ever been arranged like this?

Just when Ji Song was worried about whether to persuade or not, Pingyang suddenly smiled and his anger disappeared.

"A son-in-law is a son-in-law after all. Shouldn't I be in my nephew's house? But someone, as a biological mother, comes to the son-in-law's house to dominate and dominate. This is really eye-opening for me as a family member. It's really... tsk tsk!"

Then he looked at Ji Song, smiling sweetly, which made him feel bad.

"My nephew, as the head of the family, sometimes you can't be too polite. When people are polite, some people don't know their last names. Do you think this is the truth?"

Ji Song secretly complained in his heart, what the hell is this?

I am reading a book well at home, why are everyone coming to trouble me?
"Maybe, that's probably it!"

"Ok?"

Seeing that his eldest grandson looked wrong, he quickly said: "They are all from my own family, my own family."

"Song'er, you didn't say anything when someone came to the house. Who is here?"

Just when Ji Song was thinking about whether he should follow Chai Shao's example and lie down, Ji's mother's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

He felt as if he was hearing the sounds of nature and quickly turned around to look.

Sure enough, as if Ji's mother really didn't know who it was, Shi Shiran came from the door.

When he saw the eldest grandson and Pingyang Pingyang, he was immediately 'shocked' and hurriedly saluted, "I didn't know the Queen was coming, so I didn't greet you from afar. It's really rude. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

The eldest grandson and Pingyang looked at each other, and Pingyang was the first to say: "What did sister mean by this? Why do you have to report to sister when you come to her house? How many points are there?"

Stepping forward to help Ji's mother up, she didn't even look at her eldest grandson.

Changsun gritted his teeth secretly, but he did not dare to quarrel with Pingyang in front of others at this time. Otherwise, if word spread, would he lose his reputation?

"My mother-in-law is too worried. I just came to see my daughter and son-in-law. They are both my own family members. What are we talking about?"

Mother Ji laughed and said: "Yes, yes, I didn't think it through well, but when I come home, I have to eat a meal before leaving. Recently, there have been several new dishes at home, but they are good. I promise not to I will disappoint you!"

Although he smiled and said to You Ning: "Hurry up and take a look. The servants are very careless. Don't make any mistakes."

You Ning felt relieved and quickly apologized and went out.

"Song'er, are you okay? His Majesty has entrusted you to organize and revise the laws of the Tang Dynasty. What's the matter with you being at home all day?"

"Your Majesty values ​​you so much, is this how you repay His Majesty's trust?"

He became even more stern at the end, but Ji Song was overjoyed.

He showed a 'fearful' expression and said quickly: "What mother said is that my son just remembered that something happened."

Then he bowed to his eldest grandson and Pingyang and said, "Please forgive me, my mother and princess. Ziyi will go and get started first."

After saying that, without waiting for them to say anything, he turned around and left as if running away.Walking out of the mansion, he said to Zheng Li: "Entertain the princess and empress well. Don't stop them from doing anything they want to do. As long as they don't set fire to it, don't bother even if the Marquis' mansion is demolished."

Zheng Li was shocked and said anxiously: "No, Lord Marquis, I'm worried that I won't be able to cope with it!"

"The empress and the princess look like they are about to fight each other. What will happen if you leave!"

Ji Song patted him on the shoulder and said: "So, for the sake of the peace of the family, I have wronged you in terms of my wealth and life."

"Don't worry, no one will die."

Lao Zheng wants to cry but has no tears. What the hell is this?
When we arrived at the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, except for a few guard officials, everyone else had gone to eat.

It happened to be lunch break, so Ji Song refused to call anyone. He took out the food he bought on the way and ate in the lobby.

"Come on, you haven't eaten either, come here and have some."

Seeing a few petty officials swallowing their saliva, Ji Song was too embarrassed to eat alone, so he greeted them.

"The villain is not hungry."

Ji Song frowned and said, "Bullshit, you heard your stomach rumbling, and you still say you're not hungry?"

He took out some food and pushed it in front of them, and said directly: "Eat it, I bought a little too much. If you don't eat it, it will go bad. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

The few clerks looked at each other and didn't refuse, but they were hungry.

When the superiors go to dinner, they have to stay and look after the house. When others come, they can deal with it casually while waiting for others.

Ji Song wiped his mouth after eating and said casually: "Has anything big happened recently?"

"Sit down and talk!"

Stop them from standing up and signal them to relax.

"Going back to the Marquis, everything has gone smoothly recently. I heard from the superior officials that the first draft will be completed soon."

Ji Song nodded, saying the same thing as Pei Hongxian.

With people from all walks of life available to consult at any time, it’s hard not to think fast!

Don’t worry about anyone being too selfish, we are all in this together, no one knows who is who!

He had already explained that the shopkeepers of the Ji family and the Xungui family were present on the merchant's side.On the farmer's side, there were several old gentlemen from the academy who were proficient in farming. On the craftsman's side, there were several master craftsmen from the Ministry of Works and officials from Sinong Temple.

No one can easily put them aside and bully these vulnerable groups.

That's right, he is trying to get some benefits for farmers, businessmen, and craftsmen without touching sensitive issues.

Otherwise, with these aristocratic families and royal nobles present, there would be no room for them to speak.

After such a long period of discussion, wrangling, and haggling, the basic framework is almost in place.The next step is to keep filling it with specific things.

Business laws, tax laws, criminal laws, etc. are constantly being revised.

The criminal laws of corporal punishment, rotting, frequent cutting of flesh, breaking of legs and hands, and cutting off noses have basically been eliminated. This is also the original intention of this revision of the law.

Since the two Jin Dynasties, the power of aristocratic families has been concentrated at an unprecedented level, coupled with the use of heavy codes in troubled times.The criminal laws during this period were extremely harsh, even cruel.

Although the former Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty reduced many cruel criminal laws, they still seem a bit harsh now.

Now that the world is under great rule, the crime rate is decreasing every year. If we still maintain strict punishments and laws, it will inevitably affect the normal development of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, Li Shimin is very fond of success. He often flaunts himself as a benevolent monarch, hoping that some cruel criminal laws will end in his own hands to achieve his reputation as a benevolent monarch.

Although he has his own subjective color, he is also in Ji Song's favour.I just took this opportunity to sort out the laws of the Tang Dynasty to adapt to the upcoming prosperous age.
