Chapter 913 The Law

When King Jing came, he brought six or seven memorials and placed them neatly on Zhu Xu's desk.

King Jing stood below and said, "Emperor, the Governor's Law has been basically revised and completed, and the Grand Prize has been sorted out again and it has been properly improved, just waiting for the Emperor to take a look."

Zhu Xu looked at these thick memoirs and said, "If I continue reading, I will probably not finish reading it for a year or two. I will pick up the important ones to tell me."

"yes!"

King Jing raised his hand and said, "According to the emperor's intention, I have listed other laws separately from the Ming Dynasty's laws. The current Ming Dynasty law is the general outline of the 'Constitution' of our Ming Dynasty, covering all aspects of the Ming Dynasty, from the status of the emperor, the harem, to the civil and military officials, the subjects of the world, everything is included in it. There are 78 general outlines, 126 categories, and 69 supplements..."

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup beside him and listened to King Jing's words. The change of the Ming Dynasty law has indeed become the general outline of the Constitution. Other laws will be derivatives, interpretations, and expansions of this Constitution, but they will always be included and cannot be broken through.

King Jing did not read out the specific regulations, there were too many, just a brief description.

After hearing this, Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Yes, keep talking."

"The great edict was established by Taizu, including the Tianxian of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, as well as various typical cases, handling methods, sentencing levels, etc. The ministers and others have already compiled the case. The Governor's Court has conducted careful discussions on inappropriate, too light and too heavy sentencing, new cases, etc. It has basically been revised and has been completed. It is only waiting for the emperor to review, and the emperor to issue it..." King Jing had obviously had a draft of the script and said first-rate.

Zhu Xu put down the teacup and slowly tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes calmly.

This "Great Edict" was created by Zhu Yuanzhang, and its status even exceeded that of the Ming Dynasty Law. After all, this is "Tianxian" and no one can mess with it. Everything will naturally follow it. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was too harsh and too strict in many things. It can even be said that the "Great Edict" is a kind of trampling on the Ming Dynasty Law. He betrayed the spirit of the law. In many things, it is illegal and purely based on his own likes and dislikes.

Zhu Xu is now working to rectify the "branching of disciplines" and re-legislation, so naturally he cannot allow this phenomenon of "ruling man is greater than rule of law". He pondered and said, "The 'big edict' will not be issued for the time being. The Supervisor' will discuss it again and give it to the cabinet. The 'big edict' will be drawn out."

King Jing's brows moved slightly. This "big edict" was often a powerful tool for emperors of all dynasties to sanctify the court and promote their power and hope. Does this person in front of him actually want?

However, he did not say much, and continued, "The land system of the vacancies was discussed with the Cabinet to establish the 'equal land system', 'the land occupied limit', and the 'first-occupancy first served', the cabinet will use three to five years to measure the land acres across the country, re-register the household registration, establish the number of land acres, etc. The marriage law of the vacancies stipulates the strict marriage age for men and women, men must not be less than eighteen, women must not be less than sixteen, and any exceeding the rules will be severely punished. There are also regulations on ethics, marriage partners, and the number of wives and concubines..."

"The law of officials is divided into two major parts and eighteen articles, including the selection, appointment and removal of officials, and the restrictions on the selection, appointment and removal of officials, as well as specific decision-making processes such as seals and documents, and there are 120 volumes of detailed explanation..."

"The law of criminal law is divided into eight categories, covering thieves, appointments, fights, litigation, traitors, etc. The Ministry of Justice has recently participated in the revision and supplemented the separation of trials and detentions, torture, etc. There are 28 volumes, more than 30,000 words..."

"The military rules include military affairs, government, Guanjin, stable and pastoral schools, etc. There are seven subjects in total. Because the Ministry of War is reforming, all of them are temporary, waiting for the progress of Sun Gelao and others..."

"The laws of the work, construction, river defense, etc., and craftsmanship are also included. The Governor's Council is discussing the abolition and release it to the free one..."

"The rituals are mainly sacrifices, rituals, etc. Now there are still rituals and funerals, which have been divided into detailed and customized..."

Zhu Xu listened quietly without interrupting.

These are the six laws. The six laws contained under the Ming Dynasty, and the six laws are also all-encompassing and extremely complex.

Zhu Xu couldn't do anything in detail, and basically gave them all to the Governor's General Assembly. There are more than 150 people in the Governor's General Assembly. In the past year, they have been basically responsible for cultivating, adding, deleting and modifying the Code.

"In addition, there are clan laws, salt laws, commercial laws, money laws, private tea regulations, temporary regulations on low-collected household registration, regulations issued by the cabinet, etc. There are seventeen laws that do not include six laws, and the cost is separately..."

King Jing said something a little dry, but there was no bump. It was obviously prepared for a long time and was extremely familiar.

After listening quietly, Zhu Xu knew the basic framework and pondered it for a while, saying, "This is how you bring people who are majoring in various laws tomorrow to the cabinet tomorrow. I, the cabinet assistant, the six ministers, and the ministers of the ministers of the Ministry of Education, should listen. If there is any problem, record it and discuss it carefully. When the governors from all over the country come to Beijing next year, they will have another expanded discussion, and strive to be more perfect..."

King Jing listened, without any objection and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, if you are a friend of your objections to certain provisions of the Code, please handle it fairly."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, someone is dissatisfied with the law you have practiced, which makes you feel embarrassed?"

King Jing raised his hand and said, "Return to the emperor, revise all laws, six ministries, and the cabinet have sent people to participate, many of which are quite controversial. The cabinet and the six ministers have complained. I am worried that tomorrow will cause controversy, which will harm some innocent people, and let the efforts of the Governor's Council be put to waste."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at King Jing.

King Jing clearly had something in his words, so he carefully gave some eye drops to some people.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, besides Zhu Xu, there were only two secondary assistants, Bi Ziyan. Sun Chengzong could put pressure on King Jing. In addition, King Jing has had so many dirty relationships with Bi Ziyan recently...

Zhu Xu was as clear as a mirror, picked up the teacup and said lightly: "I understand. The Governor General is your direct yamen, and outsiders should not interfere. You know this in your heart. As for the government affairs of the cabinet, although you are lower than the second secondary assistant, you are the assistant minister of the cabinet after all. You must take out the so-called "paper paste" and "clay bodhisattva" and other unbearable reputations. I don't want to hear it in my cabinet..."

When King Jing heard this, he was overjoyed, raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "I obey the order."

Zhu Xu didn't want the cabinet to be harmonious, and everything was confused. King Jing and Bi Ziyan were incompatible, which was a certain need for Zhu Xu.

Putting down the teacup, Zhu Xu asked, "What do you think about the power and scope of the Governor's Office?"

Zhu Xu has been "chatting" with officials such as the Cabinet, Dali Temple, and the Six Ministers of the Ministry of Justice. Everyone knows that this is a kind of "study exam" at the end of the year. King Jing is also very clear and prepared for it.

King Jing raised his hand and said, "Return to the emperor, I have discussed it. There are eight, one, law; two, inspector; three, critical examination; four, governing; five..."

Zhu Xu listened, nodded slightly and said, "It's similar to the cabinet's memorial. Well, I'm still considering one thing, that is, the representatives of the people can express their feelings in the Governor's Court. After a certain proportion of votes, they can remove an official position of an official within the ranks, and they will not be reinstated or appointed for a period of time. What do you think?"

This is not new, Zhu Xu mentioned it a long time ago, but there is no implementation environment. At the current provincial government level, the conditions are basically met, so you can try it.

This is to increase the power of the Governor's Council. King Jing will not refuse and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I will discuss it after I go back, and the detailed statement will be submitted to the emperor tomorrow."

Zhu Xu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Well, do it more carefully. Don't catch loopholes for others. If you find loopholes in the law, you must block them in time and don't give villains a chance..."

"I obey the order."

King Jing was originally nervous, but now he left happily. With Zhu Xu's support, he didn't need to worry that Bi Ziyan would extend his hand to the Governor's Council. In terms of government affairs in the cabinet, he also had the confidence to fight with Bi Ziyan!

Seeing King Jing leave, Zhu Xu looked at the already cold potato cakes, and her belly felt empty. She couldn't help but miss the fish soup from Cining Palace. She looked up at Cao Huachun and said, "How many days will it take to be the New Year?"

"Back to the emperor, today is twenty-one, and there are eight days left." Cao Huachun stepped forward and walked forward.

Zhu Xu had a slightly slight head, and his expression was thoughtful.
