Chapter 895
After carefully arranging his clothes in front of the mercury glass mirror, Lu Chengqi slowly left the Kunning Hall.After having lunch in the Imperial Dining Room, surrounded by the servants and maids, he came to the Chui Gong Hall.

As soon as he got on the dragon chair, Lu Chengqi issued a verbal order: "Send Su Shi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and come to see me quickly!"

"According to the order!"

After the servant hurriedly exited the Chui Gong Hall, Lu Chengqi glanced at the mountain of memorials, his head was so big: "I really can't be lazy!"

There is no way, the meal has to be eaten in one bite, and the memorials have to be reviewed one by one.

Lu Chengqi opened a book at random, and talked about trivial matters. Two villages in Jingzhao Prefecture fought over the water source. Fortunately, the police arrived on the scene in time, and no one was killed. The local county magistrate did not dare to call the shots. Lu Chengqi settled the case.

"There's nothing wrong with this. Fighting with weapons is a violation of the law. Just act according to the "Da Shun Law"!" Lu Chengqi swiped his ink pen, wrote a few cursive scripts, and put them aside. , the prince broke the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people, do the common people also want to be exempted from responsibility?"

I opened another book, and it said that a widow in a certain place in Henan Province wanted to remarry, but her father-in-law and mother-in-law refused, so the lawsuit went to the Yamen, and the case even alarmed Dali Temple.It is difficult for an honest official to decide on family affairs, and the Dali Temple's decision was not accepted by the family.It turned out that the widow was the official wife of an official, and when the official died in office, the official wife became a widow.The official's parents insisted on preventing their daughter-in-law from remarrying, even refusing to accept the verdict from Dali Temple, so they had to let the emperor decide the case.

"Joke, this kind of case can't be resolved, what's the use of supporting you officials?"

Lu Chengqi was already a little angry, but after thinking about it, isn't this the privilege of the bureaucratic class?Widows of ordinary people can remarry, why can't widows of official families remarry?Presumably the official's parents threatened and persecuted the widow so hard.

Lu Chengqi carefully reviewed the case file, and found that there was indeed something wrong with that family.

In addition to the dead official, there were two younger brothers.The two were idle, fighting cocks and dogs all day long, not doing their jobs.Only the widow showed her face and supported the family.That family took a fancy to the widow's ability to make the whole family have no worries about food and clothing, so they stopped her in every possible way.

Just as Lu Chengqi was about to write down his handling opinions, at this moment, the servant who read out the oral order trotted into the hall: "Your Majesty, Su Shi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is already waiting outside the hall."

"Acclaim him an audience!" Lu Chengqi put down his ink brush once he thought about it, and didn't write any more.

"Chen Su Shi, see Your Majesty!"

I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties enter the Chui Gong Hall confidently and calmly, and made a long salute respectfully.

When Lu Chengqi saw that Su Shi was handsome and handsome, and he was no longer the miserable wandering in the official history, he felt relieved: "I finally changed Su Shi's fate!"

But he said: "Excuse me, give me a seat!"

Su Shi was a little flattered, it was a great honor for the emperor to sit him!
Su Shi didn't dare to take his seat until the servant brought the tea, but he didn't dare to sit down: "I don't know if your Majesty has summoned the minister, what is the important matter?"

"There is indeed something important, but I'm not in a hurry to talk about it. Just look at this case, it's all here!" Lu Chengqi slowly pushed forward a memorial and a file.Su Shi got up quickly, took the memorial file respectfully, glanced at it hastily, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have heard about this case..."

"Oh? What does Su Qing mean?"

"According to the "Da Shun Law" judgment, the widow has been widowed for three years and has exhausted her human capacity. Why stop her from remarrying?" Su Shi has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he is also a bit tactful.

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "That's the reason, but that widow is the official wife of an official, so what's the matter?"

"Both officials and people must abide by the law, so what about officials?" Su Shi said eloquently.

"Su Qing's words are exactly what I mean. The prince broke the law and is guilty of the same crime as the people. Even if he becomes an official, he will not be exempt!" Lu Chengqi wrote the verdict with a stroke of his pen.

"Your Majesty is indeed a believer, and there is nothing good about ruling the country with the law!" Su Shi said quickly.

"Isn't Su Qing a child of Confucianism? Why do you believe in Legalism?" Lu Chengqi asked a little funny.

Su Shi sternly said: "If Confucianism does not make progress, how can it grow? The laws of Confucianism are not the laws of the legalists. The laws of the Legalists have only laws and no virtue. The laws of Confucianism have virtue and law. After virtue, you can conquer people with virtue, and then you can conquer people with law!"

"That's right, Su Qing is really talented!" Lu Chengqi praised, "Not only is her poetry well done, but her knowledge is also first-class."

Su Shi said with a smile: "Your Majesty is too famous. I'm just a pedantic scholar. Literature can't govern the country, and martial arts can't stabilize the country. Every time I think about it, I feel very frightened..."

"Su Qing is too modest, it's like this, I came here for you..." Lu Chengqi immediately said about the national anthem, national flag and national emblem, and Su Shi's eyes lit up. "...That's it, what does Su Qing think?"

Su Shi said excitedly: "Your Majesty is indeed an emperor through the ages, and I bow to you! There is a saying in the ancients, to teach harmony through music, and His Majesty's first national anthem will surely win the hearts of the Han people and strengthen the momentum of China!"

Lu Chengqi smiled and said, "I'm not that powerful, so you don't have to brag about it, it's the right thing to write poems as soon as possible..."

Su Shi murmured: "Your Majesty, in fact, I already have a draft, but... it's just not a poem..."

"Oh, let's talk about it?" Lu Chengqi became interested, Su Shi was worthy of his talents, and he thought of poems in the blink of an eye.

"Pangu opened the world, Nuwa made people from mud, Sui people and I made fire, I had a nest for my house, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, Fuxi established a sage, Yanhuang came out of the Weihe River, and China began to form a country. You and I have the same root, and we were originally a family. , the blood is passed down from generation to generation, and Yan and Huang have descendants. We are one family, and we can become a country. This country is called Huaxia, and it will follow the hearts of the people!" After Su Shi finished singing, he said: "I am not right, please allow me Go back and modify it again..."

At this time, I won the first prize, and most of them want some eulogies.This poem is also close to the eulogy of "groaning without illness", but the heroic meaning in it is beyond imagination. How can it be compared with those pretentious eulogy?
"That's it!" Lu Chengqi said overjoyed, "It's better to be fair, after all, not only scholars can sing this song, I want the whole Dashun people to sing this song! It's not too late, I can't wait for someone to compose it Quite the song, can Su Qing give an introduction?"

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, and lowered his voice a lot: "Your Majesty, it is generally recognized that only Master Yu Linglong is the No. This poem can't make rhythm, she can also turn decay into magic..."
