Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

[To revise the law, one must first understand that this is a system, not a single chapter. 】

[At the highest level is the most basic principle of governing the country, that is, the Basic Law and the Constitution.All laws must be based on the Basic Law, so that there will be no contradictions or misunderstandings. 】

[After the top-level Basic Law, there are concrete manifestations of the Basic Law in various aspects. 】

[Such as civil law and commercial law to solve various contradictions among the people, administrative law to regulate various government actions, criminal law for various criminal acts, etc. 】

[This can be formulated in general categories first, or it can be formulated according to special affairs. Anyway, it is based on the Basic Law and cannot contradict each other. 】

[After these laws, there are administrative regulations. This administrative regulation is the specificization of the relevant systems of the various departments of the imperial court to implement the legal provisions, and it is a refinement and supplement to the law]

["Zhenguan Law" can be regarded as such a basic law, so it only needs to be compiled with the basic principles determined. 】

[It is only necessary to determine the basic principles and systems such as five punishments, ten evils, eight suggestions, request, reduction, redemption, punishment, exemption, and the crime of outsiders, analogy, and repetition of the death penalty. 】

[As for the specific laws, they can be handed over to the Six Ministries and the Nine Temples and Five Prisons to make their own decisions, and then it will be verified by the Basic Law at the end. 】

[When all the laws are done, then come to the law book of "Zhenguan Law", so that it can be done once and for all. 】

[In this way, it is also convenient for division of labor and cooperation. It is estimated that the entire legal system will be established in a year or two. 】

Li You was thinking endlessly in his heart, but Li Shimin was very excited when he heard it on the dragon chair.

Li You's understanding of the law far surpassed this era, which made Li Shimin amazed and shocked.

While being shocked, Li Shimin also listened very seriously, he wanted to write down all the thoughts in Li You's mind.

Li Shimin's seriousness at this time is deeper than dealing with government affairs.

As early as when Li Shimin was the King of Qin in Tiance Mansion, Li Shimin had thought of reforming the Sui Dynasty's "Kaihuang Law" and Li Yuan's "Wu De Law".

But at that time, he had more than enough energy.

Although I want to reform, I don't know where and how to start.

It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin hastily assigned tasks to Changsun Wuji as soon as he ascended the throne.

But even with the gathering of the top think tanks of Datang, progress is still slow.

Now, after hearing Li You's voice, Li Shimin suddenly realized.

They were all wrong before, and there is no way out for continuous improvement with the "Kaihuang Law" of the previous dynasty.

Even if the actual situation of the dynasty is added to the new law, this law still cannot cover all aspects of social life.

Even if it is a different increase, it is an extremely long accumulation process.

Perhaps as Li You said in his heart, "The Law of Zhenguan" will take ten years to come out.

But Li You's method is completely different.

When Li Shimin took the throne, Li Shimin had already determined his own policy for governing the country, so this basic law can actually be completed very quickly.

The construction process of the entire legal system will also be accelerated a lot, and the entire system will be more effective.

Thinking about it, Li Shimin became excited.

He seems to have seen the future where Datang ruled the country according to law and everything was in order.

The reason why Li Shimin was so excited was that Li You's system was not his whim, but just copying homework.

He directly copied the excellent legal system of his time, allowing this classic system to appear on the land of China 500 years in advance.

Just when Li Shimin was about to continue listening to what Li You had to say, he found that the voice stopped abruptly, and suddenly it disappeared.

Li You turned over the window and escaped.

It turned out that while Li You was thinking about the law, he was also counting the time.

He suddenly realized that an hour had come, so he escaped through the window while everyone was not paying attention.

Li Shimin soon discovered this situation, and was about to yell at him, but he heard Changsun Wuji say: "Actually, Your Majesty, we are not completely without progress. Let me show Your Majesty the chapters we have drafted now."

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji ordered someone to take a volume and handed it to Li Shimin.

Originally, Li Shimin still had some expectations for the laws revised by Changsun Wuji and others, but with Li You's jewels in front of him, now looking at the things brought by Changsun Wuji, he felt dull, and also felt that Changsun Wuji What these people are doing is wasting time.

"Nonsense! Is this what you guys came up with? This is simply nonsense!"

This time Li Shimin was not polite, and directly reprimanded him.

As soon as these words came out, Changsun Wuji was instantly stunned.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui on the side were also stunned.

This item was brought out after the three of them discussed it. It not only gathered the wisdom of the three of them, but also incorporated a lot of experience from the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials.

In the eyes of the three of them, the things they showed Li Shimin today were all excellent.

The only flaw may be just the beginning, and more things have not yet been figured out.

But you can see the whole leopard from a glimpse, and from this part, we can already see the extraordinaryness of this new law.

The three of them didn't understand why such a good thing would be said to be worthless in front of His Majesty.

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say at this time.

Even Fang Xuanling was wondering if Li Shimin was deliberately finding fault with them because of the Li talisman incident just now.

Both sides played fifty big boards each to appease Li Shenfu's emotions.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Li Shimin seemed to be dissatisfied, so he said, "Xuanling, Keming, do you two also think that "Zhenguan Law" should be like this?"

This question made it difficult for Fang and Du to get together.

In their view, the root of the law is two words, one is ritual, and the other is punishment, which embodies the unity of royal power and clan power, and permeates the idea of ​​theocracy.

Among rituals and punishments, punishment is the most important thing.

This can be seen from the general name of the laws of the Xia Dynasty as "Yu Xing", the general name of the laws of the Shang Dynasty as "Tang Xing", and the general name of the laws of the Western Zhou Dynasty as "Lu Xing".

Later, Shang Yang of the pre-Qin Dynasty took the "Fa Jing" as the blueprint, changed the law into a law, and formulated six chapters of the "Qin Law". Although the content of the law has been continuously added, the focus has not changed.

From "Stealing", "Thief", "Prisoner", "Catch", "Miscellaneous" and "Tools" as the main content of "Qin Liulu" to "Nine Chapter Law" added by Xiao He after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, although relevant household registration, tax and service were added , construction, livestock, warehouses, etc., but the focus is still on the penalties for various crimes.

When it came to Cao Wei, although major revisions were made to the law, eighteen chapters of "Wei Law" were formulated, and more content related to life was added to it, but the original Han law was changed to a criminal name, and it was named throughout the country. The head of the law.

Then came the "Kaihuang Law" of the former Sui Dynasty, which has added the social hierarchy, clearly stipulating the different identities, status, rights and obligations of each social hierarchy, as well as the relationship between them.

Similarly, "Kaihuang Law" also begins with the names and laws of various types of punishments.

In the view of the three of them, the new law they enacted puts the general principles of the criminal law at the forefront and stipulates the penalty system and basic principles, which is to inherit and carry forward the tradition of the law.

But from Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling heard the mystery.

He tentatively asked: "Could it be that Your Majesty already has a better revision method in mind?"
