Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

These resolutions include but are not limited to:

[-]. It is the Six Codes of the Tang Dynasty, which was officially renamed as the "Fundamental Code of the Tang Dynasty". It is the foundation of the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the general regulations for governing the country. It is applicable to all the people of the Tang Dynasty. The proposal of the Fundamental Code, but it needs to be voted and passed by the Central Constituent Council before it can be formally legislated.

This article seems unbelievable, the emperor of Datang actually only has the right to make suggestions?Instead of directly having the right to modify?Is this Datang still the Emperor's Datang?

In fact, after Li Ke proposed this item, Li Shimin passed it very happily.

Li Ke asked Li Shimin in private, and Li Shimin just replied indifferently immediately.

"Do you think that the emperors of the past dynasties can really amend the laws at will? In fact, all the laws of the past dynasties, the emperors also have to discuss with the ministers below, or discuss with the world's powerful families, nobles, etc. of."

"I don't know in ancient times, but since China's recorded history, it has almost never happened that the emperor can directly modify the law and code. They are replaced by a group of machines. Governing a country is really governing people.”

"Actually, it's good to have this one. Except for a very small number of people in this world, other people don't even have the right to participate in the formulation and modification of this rule, but they can only be bound by it."

These are Li Shimin's original words. At that time, Li Ke was a little stunned. After being astonished, Li Ke fell into deep thought.

Although after returning to the Tang Dynasty for so long, Li Ke has a deeper understanding of the feudal society and imperial power, the emperor is not as free as he thinks.

But Li Shimin's words gave Li Ke a deeper understanding of the emperor's rights. In this position... it was never possible to do whatever he wanted.

With Li Shimin's words, Li Ke began to reflect, especially he began to reflect on the history he learned in his previous life. For this reason, Li Ke went to the library in the warehouse to find all the recorded history books.

It is not the kind of history books learned by students of various generations in later generations, but more professional history books that belong to each dynasty.

After reading all the books, Li Ke was shocked to find that what Li Shimin said was true.

Including emperors known for killing people in history, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, the other party never said that he offended everyone at once, but killed people skillfully within the rules.And this rule...is the rule that Zhu Yuanzhang discussed with many nobles from aristocratic families.

Or in other words: the law.

Like Huang Chao and others in the late Tang Dynasty, no one offended everyone to death at once, even the Yuan Dynasty, which lasted the shortest and was the most chaotic and tyrannical.

Sure enough, everything in the world exists, and there must be its laws.

And this law is governing people.

Li Ke's astonishment and surprise made Li Shimin a little surprised.

Then Li Shimin asked: "Why are you surprised by this question? Don't all the things you did before prove that you have seen through these things long ago?"

Li Ke didn't know how to answer at the time, but fortunately Li Shimin just asked casually.

Then Li Shimin said directly: "This kind of established fact has never been admitted by any emperor before. If this is the case, then I will be the first one. It is just telling the truth. There is nothing unacceptable." of."

At that time, Li Ke admired him a little. He deserved to be the famous Tang Taizong in history. It seemed a very simple thing: just tell the truth.

But how many people can't do it? !Too much too much.

That's why this sentence appeared on the brand new "Datang Fundamental Code", and became the first sentence.

The following resolutions are reforms that have been formed before, but policies that have not yet been implemented into laws.

For example, the responsibilities of the three provinces of Shangshusheng, Menxia, ​​and Zhongshu are more clearly defined, and it is the same for who and what departments are responsible for what things.

For example, Li Ke proposed that Datang officials and their immediate family members are not allowed to do business, and all property and sources of income need to be registered and reported.

This article also formed the law.

Of course, there are many loopholes in this, because the regulations on immediate family members are only parents, wives, concubines, children and grandchildren.

As for the aristocratic family, there are too many means to deal with this loophole. In fact, the reason why this article is vague and full of loopholes is also Li Ke's intention.

It's very simple, as the same sentence, first solve the problem from scratch.

Let it be included in the terms first, as long as there is a follow-up, there will be a chance to complete it, but if you don’t, then you want it to have it, and the price you need to pay will increase!

Because the huge profits of Datang's business are not yet visible, and the resistance in the future can be imagined.

So, set it up first.

You can't do business, but there is no rule that you can't pay dividends, and the source of income only needs to be reported. That is to say, it is normal for you to have several commercial banks under your name to pay dividends under your name.

Who knows why this business will suddenly become rich in the future?

Others, such as the promotion of the status of soldiers, the relaxation of the law on the free circulation of civilians, etc. In addition, Datang officially revoked the name of non-registered households. Since then, Datang has no such term as non-registered households.

All personnel who were previously non-registered households must sign employment contracts, including those in the palace.

To be honest, Li Ke once again felt the courage of his father, the courage of Tian Khan.

Li Shimin not only directly ordered people to sign long-term employment contracts with all the court ladies and eunuchs, but also allowed them to marry and marry wives.The eunuchs have nothing to do, but it is estimated that Datang may not have new eunuchs in the future.

But eunuchs... the principle of voluntariness will be adopted in the future. You can become a eunuch voluntarily, but there will be no such thing as coercion.Although it seems that this position has always been "voluntary" since ancient times.

Li Ke is not too clear about why Li Shimin is so ruthless, but what he knows is that Li Shimin not only did this, he even released all the talented people, Baolin, Yunu, Cainu who he hadn't had time to be lucky with. up.

Only a total of 17 women remained with him.

Li Ke was a little stunned, his father was so cruel to him, and seeing Li Shimin like this, he probably won't be doing things like choosing a concubine in the future.

What if my father is "tired"?

Could it be... Li Ke had a strange thought in his mind, the emperor went to brothels?It's...not impossible.

After all, there were many emperors who played like this in the Song Dynasty in history.

Think about it... It's quite reasonable. After all, you said that the emperor has so many concubines, but there are only a few who have feelings. Most of them have no feelings, and many of them are impulsive.

Since it's impulsive... how about being impulsive outside?
