My wife is number one in the world

Li Zheng looked at the prince indifferently with a hint of approval in his eyes, none of the civil and military officials in the court today except Xia Gongming and Liu Mingzhi came out, and none of Li's clan dared to speak.

Today, Prince Qing and Prince Qing were called together to see who was more courageous to grab the dragon's beard, but before Liu Mingzhi came, none of the three could figure out the emperor's dragon's veins, and they were all holding each other.

Liu Mingzhi once again mentioned that he hoped that the emperor would not restore the punishment. The emperor did not get angry but thought about it, which shows that this matter is not impossible to discuss.

"That's it!"

"Father, my sons and ministers agree with Lord Liu's words. Father has practiced benevolent government for many years, and he is full of praise from inside and outside. His sudden restoration of punishment will not only panic the people in the court, but also the people. It is similar to the crime of implicating one person. If the whole family is implicated, not only will it not make the people under the rule obedient, but they will take risks in order to survive. After all, the whole family is implicated, it is better to fight to the death. I am not saying that there is something wrong with the restoration of the father and the emperor. It is true that many officials do not use punishment. I hope that the emperor will think twice, whether the benefits of restoring punishment outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages!"

The emperor looked at the four people in the imperial study calmly, trying to see something from their expressions.

But Li Zheng was disappointed again, and had to lament that these princes had grown up, knew how to restrain their emotions, and knew how to judge the situation by observing words and expressions.

Even the youngest Seventh Prince Li Zhi didn't show any signs of it.

"King Qing, what do you mean?"

"Father, I also think that Master Liu's words are reasonable, but I have a question and would like to ask Master Liu for advice, is it possible?"

Feeling the eyes of the emperor and King Qing, Liu Mingzhi nodded: "Your Highness King Qing, but it's okay to say, I will know everything!"

"Lord Liu, you just said that the restoration of punishment will put everyone in danger, but like today's events, if the punishment is not restored, the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty saw that the emperor easily let go of the corrupt officials at the border, so how about imitating the unscrupulous officials?" Deal with it!"

"According to the law of the dragon, the law should be executed. The minister is not covering up corrupt officials. The three highnesses also know that the minister beheaded more than [-] criminals in Qingzhou Mansion not long ago, but the family members of the criminals seem to be ignorant. Let it go, Your Majesty pays attention to ruling the country according to the law, people-oriented, the family members of criminal officials are also His Majesty's subjects, and they are also among the people. If they are implicated because of their father's crimes, how innocent are they? The law of punishment and the law of good punishment have the same purpose. If this is the case, why bother to restore punishment?"

"My Highness understands what Master Liu means, but what I'm asking is if the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are not afraid, what should they do?"

"Establish an order to rule all officials, behead those who take bribes, and confiscate their property. Does your Highness want to say that if an official is corrupt, his family is not held accountable, and if an official is beheaded, his family will be honored?"

"That's right. Master Liu, please think about it. If an official accepts bribes and only punishes one person, his family will enjoy the glory. Where will he be with the victim?"

Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while and looked at his emperor quietly: "The law of the great dragon has been established. Officials are corrupt, beheaded, ransacked their homes, sons will not be allowed to take imperial examinations, and the future will not be shaded. It is very clear!"

"This...His Highness understands, thank you Lord Liu for your enlightenment!"

"My lord Liu, my Highness does not agree. If it is based on your words, why do border officials still dare to embezzle and accept bribes worth more than ten million taels?"

Liu Mingzhi glanced at the seventh prince, Li Zhi: "The profit makes the wisdom faint! Yes, but the border affairs should be handled properly, and the Yushitai is ordered to supervise, and the prince to supervise. The prince changes every year. I think the prince will not damage the foundation of the country!"

The eyes of the three princes brightened, and they drank tea pretending not to care.

Li Zheng pondered for a while: "Where is the court?"

"Hehe...Which one of the court can escape His Majesty's discerning eyes!"

"Stop flattering, are you determined to prevent me from restoring the punishment?"

"I don't dare, I just hope that Your Majesty will think twice. Restoration punishment can certainly warn all officials, but in fact, the harm outweighs the benefits!"

"Report to Your Majesty, there is a memorial from Doctor Yushi!"

"allow!"

Fuhai walked into the imperial study with a memorial and respectfully put it on the dragon case: "Your Majesty, please have a look!"

The emperor picked up the memorial and flipped through it. After a while, the emperor put down the memorial and started pacing with his hands behind his back, frowning deeply, deep in thought.

"Liu Aiqing!"

"Chen is here!"

"I ask you, what should I do if the main hall's load-bearing pillars have been in disrepair for a long time? Is it better to last for a longer period of time, or is it better to replace them with new ones in time?"

Liu Mingzhi's heart skipped a beat. Song Yu had just told himself not to get involved with old and new pillars when the emperor came and asked what was written in Xia Gongming's notebook.

The most important thing is whether the emperor likes the old pillars or the new pillars, Liu Mingzhi glanced at the emperor quietly and couldn't see anything at all.

Looking at the three princes, the three of them were silent as if they were chilling.

I couldn't help sweating on my forehead, and pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, I don't think the old pillars and new pillars are important. Whether the hall is as stable as a mountain depends on whether the foundation is firm. As long as the foundation is firm, the pillars can be replaced at any time. Even the tree can't bear the weight of the hall, so the old minister thought that if there is no problem with the foundation, the hall will be safe and sound."

The emperor glanced at the three sons who were watching the nose, the nose, the nose, the nose and the heart: "If there is something wrong with the old foundation, what kind of foundation can support the hall?"

Liu Mingzhi trembled all over: "I can only make money to make the foundation stable. As for what kind of foundation can support the building, the minister is not an official from the Ministry of Industry, I absolutely don't have that vision!"

The emperor looked at Liu Mingzhi with his head down and sighed: "Prince!"

"My son is here!"

"Follow the Northern Imperial Guard to deal with the corruption case in the exchange market, and ask Liu Aiqing for advice!"

"Yes, my son obeys the order!"

"King Qing."

"My son is here!"

"Jingzhou, you should go and supervise the drought in Mingzhou!"

"My son obeys the order!"

"Old Seven!"

"My son is here!"

"Shu has always been known as the Land of Abundance, and Lao San has a good reputation there, especially this year's tax revenue is several percent higher than in previous years. Go and learn from Lao San how to manage government affairs!"

"My son obeys the order!"

"Go back all!"

6Chapter 17 Don't be too sharp

6Chapter 17 Don't be too sharp

After leaving the imperial study room, Liu Mingzhi's legs softened and hurriedly supported the railing beside him.

With lingering fear, he glanced at the imperial study room behind Liu Mingzhi, with a somewhat surprised expression, recalling all kinds of things in the imperial study room.

The emperor's behavior was quite different from the past, especially the resumption of punishment was not like the sudden proposal of the exchange market that he had told him, as if it had been intended for a long time.

Is it really like what the younger brother told me, the old foundation is no longer good, and the pillars of the main hall have started to be replaced for the new foundation?

"Master Liu, Mr. Zhou has something left behind by the emperor, and I will send you to the mother's place. This prince will guide you, which is also what the emperor meant!"

Hearing the voice of the crown prince, Liu Mingzhi kept looking at the crown prince with a faint smile: "In this case, His Highness the crown prince will be here!"

"Hey, what are you talking about, Mr. Liu, you are the companion of this palace, should you help each other in the same boat!"
