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

Li Shimin nodded, and slowly walked back behind the desk, putting some distance between him and the three advisors.

Since the desk was behind a step, Li Shimin looked down at the three of them, feeling an inexplicable pleasure in his heart.

This is a kind of pleasure that comes from IQ crushing.

In the past, these political affairs, although Li Shimin can also put forward some opinions.

But often after saying it, it was either rejected by all of these, or a more perfect upgrade plan was immediately proposed, but this time, Li Shimin knew that the time had come for him to feel proud.

Li Shimin smiled slightly, and then said: "Wuji, Keming, have you ever thought about what is the root of the laws of the Tang Dynasty? When is it important to just list the names of various crimes and punishments?"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, the following three gasped.

Because His Majesty's words are the biggest concern in their hearts.

They refer to the ancient law and list all kinds of punishments in front, lest they miss something, that's why they are so slow.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the three, Li Shimin was satisfied, and he continued, "I've been thinking about this question recently, and finally I found the answer."

"Since it is impossible to list all the crimes and punishments, it is better for us to determine a basic law and use it as a criterion to regulate other laws."

"And in this basic law, we only need to determine the basis of the country and the basis of the measurement of punishment. In this way, we can divide the labor and cooperate in compiling other laws based on this basic law!"

"What you have to do now is to determine the basic principles and systems such as five punishments, ten evils, eight suggestions, please, reduce, redeem, accept, exonerate, and make outsiders guilty, analogy, and repetition of the death penalty."

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wuji and the others turned pale with shock.

They also had to admit that Li Shimin's remarks just now broke the shackles of the laws of the past dynasties and deepened the law to a higher level.

Originally, with the continuous development of society, there were more and more criminal laws, and they became more and more complicated.

It's like a mess of hemp that can't be left unattended, can't be ignored.

However, as soon as the Basic Law came out, the criminal laws of the world had a source, and every law could be traced back to its source.

The original criminal laws are like duckweed without roots, no matter how big it grows, it will be destroyed if you scratch it lightly.

But when the roots are established, the law thrives like a tree.

For a moment, a towering tree seemed to appear in Changsun Wuji's eyes, and the reason why this tree of law can stand upright is the Basic Law.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to obey.

Just now he was still wondering why His Majesty insulted him so much today.

Now he finally knows the confidence of His Majesty the Emperor.

It turns out that His Majesty the Emperor already had the idea of ​​compiling the new laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing the petrified expressions of the three of them, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Three lovers, what do you think?"

In fact, there is no need to ask, Li Shimin already knew everything from the expressions of the three of them.

Sure enough, after Fang Xuanling came back to his senses, he immediately admired: "Your Majesty's thinking is so profound, and this basic law really captures the essence of the law."

"In my view, enacting the Basic Law first has three advantages."

As he spoke, Fang Xuanling stretched out three fingers.

"Oh?"

Li Shimin was also a little surprised, he just heard this theory from Li You.

Speaking of it, Li Shimin just didn't realize it, but he didn't expect that Fang Xuanling could see so many benefits in such a short time.

Then I heard Fang Xuanling say: "First of all, this basic law is an overview, and it can directly cover all the things in the world in the simplest terms. In this way, even if there is no corresponding precise criminal name, the law enforcement person can still There is a law to follow first!"

"Second, the Basic Law is higher than other laws. That is to say, as long as His Majesty controls the revision and enactment of the Basic Law, there is no need to worry about the law getting out of control and going against His Majesty's original intention."

"The third point is also the most important point. Although the Basic Law is the most important thing, but because it is the will of Datang's development, it is less difficult to compile, and it can be published soon, speeding up the construction of the legal system."

Fang Xuanling is worthy of being the best at planning and layout among the civil servants, and this kind of divergent ability is really amazing.

He just heard Li Shimin say an idea, and he has already seen so many benefits.

Li Shimin naturally nodded again and again: "What Xuanling said is absolutely true!"

Du Ruhui, who was on the side, also said, "I think it's a great thing to be able to lay down the foundation. In this way, we can also add public order, good customs, and human morality to the formulation of the Basic Law."

"The new laws of the Tang Dynasty are not only aimed at those prisoners, but also the code of conduct for every citizen of the Tang Dynasty."

"The law is not only a means of punishment, but also a warning to those who harbor arrogance."

Changsun Wuji felt even more ashamed at this time.

"I didn't expect His Majesty to have such a profound insight into the law. His Majesty's way of thinking is more holistic. Only a person like His Majesty who has the world at heart can have such a vision!"

Although there are many suspicions of flattery in Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin thinks this flattery is really fragrant.

At this moment, he really couldn't smile from ear to ear.

After all, the three of them boasted about themselves just now, and such a scene has not been seen for many years.

On weekdays, when the few of them were discussing in the court, Li Shimin often couldn't even get in a word.

This greatly satisfied Li Shimin's vanity!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help thinking of the reason for his big show today.

Although he didn't know why Li You was in his study today, he felt that it was a wise decision to let Li You come to his study.

He felt that no matter where he went in the future, he would take Li You with him!

Especially when participating in government affairs, as long as Li You is near him, then he can pretend infinitely!

Pretending to be cool for a while, always pretending to be cool, always being cool.

Li Shimin has fallen in love with this feeling.

But at this moment, after Li You escaped from the study, he came to Concubine Yin's palace.

"You'er, why did you remember today, come to see me as your mother?"

Concubine Yin is now pregnant, it is the moment when motherhood explodes, and she is even more delighted to see her son.

"You'er came here because she wanted to kiss her mother. Did Youer bring good things for the mother and concubine?"

After speaking, Li You handed the book he was carrying with him to Concubine Yin's hands.

""Pregnancy Health Care", what kind of book is this?"

Seeing that although Concubine Yin could guess the heart of the book from the name, she still looked at Li You suspiciously.

At the same time, because of this embarrassing thing, being mentioned by his son, he couldn't help but blush.

[Hey, my dear mother, I am serious, why are you blushing! 】

[I wrote this because I didn't care about you, but it took me a few days of hard work. 】

Although he complained in his heart, Li You still explained to Concubine Yin: "This is an ancient book that You'er saw before. It happened that Concubine Mother was pregnant, so I found it for Concubine Yin."
