The Old Lady is Not Cute, Super Fierce

With her writing, a general constitutional (xian) basis emerged, the most important, or what was added, was the issue of the independence of the judicial system, and based on this independence, the freedom of human rights It was also written by Shen Mengyan.

She had communicated with Zhao Heng about these two points, and they were both things that needed to be done.

After finishing the foundation, Shen Mengyan read it back and forth carefully several times, and revised the words in some places. The law is different from speech, and the words must be precise.

An official who was assisting Shen Mengyan looked at Shen Mengyan and changed the article several times, and said, "Master Shen, there are some articles here that are really..."

He hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The problem may cause a huge backlash."

Shen Mengyan looked at the man with a fair face and no crescent moon, and said, "Master Bao, you are a senior, tell me."

Bao Shen used to be the Minister of Criminal Affairs, but now that the Ministry of Criminal Justice is undergoing rectification, this person was sent to be Shen Mengyan's assistant.

This person was originally the second-in-command of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was extremely familiar with the laws of the Great Zhao Kingdom.

"Don't dare dare!" Bao Shen said hastily. This Shen Mengyan was appointed by Zhao Heng to be called the Chief Prosecutor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He is in the first rank. It can be said that he is below one person and above ten thousand people. He dare not call himself a senior .

But at this moment when Shen Mengyan talked to him like this, he felt very benefited, and said: "My lord, look here, you wrote that human rights are granted by heaven, and that all human rights are equal. Princes and nobles cannot be equal, my lord."

Shen Mengyan heard what the other party said about this matter. She did make a lot of revisions on it just now, and added a lot of notes. Now hearing what Bao Shen said, Shen Mengyan said: "My lord, isn't it Have you forgotten that the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least?"

"I don't dare to forget what Mencius said, but my lord, if I wrote it like this, it would have been okay in the past, but now, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

"A lot of trouble?"

"That's right, the old man saw that the adults were young, so he said to the adults, you see, in the past, the law was to restrain the people, that is, it was true that the people were the most important in the society, and the king was the second, but it was not written into the law. Even if there are some contents in it, it will not be effective for princes, nobles and dignitaries, but now the emperor wants to distribute power to those Jianghu sects. In this way, they must use this as an excuse to treat those dignitaries who don't like them. looking for trouble."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "I'm afraid that if this continues, sects and dignitaries will fight with each other, and even send troops to fight with each other. If the country does not lead the country, the people will not live."

Shen Mengyan listened to the other party's worry, and said with a smile: "If you don't write the correct thing because you are afraid of it, is there something wrong with it?"

"This……"

"Don't forget, you said that sect forces will use this to trouble the original officials, but the reverse is also the same, you can also use this to trouble them, as long as anyone commits the inside things, they can be punished." Looking for trouble, I don't believe that you have been an official for so many years, and you have climbed to your current position, you will not understand the rules here, you should have done a lot of things like reporting each other in the past."

When Shen Mengyan said this, she still had a smile on her face, but that smile looked a little scary in Bao Shen's eyes, because the smile in her eyes was full of sarcasm.

"But this, this will offend Longyan!"

Looking at Bao Shen who carried the emperor out, Shen Mengyan said: "Don't worry, on this point, His Majesty and I stand together and feel that this must be written in and must be clarified. Maybe Bao ( bao) Your Majesty can go talk to His Majesty and see if His Majesty will be persuaded by you."

"This……"

Bao Shen was really speechless at the moment. He originally thought that no matter how crazy this Zhao Heng was, his behavior more than a month ago was already surprising, but what he didn't expect was that he actually Willing to drop his status to such a low place.

Did he really intend to be emperor?

Or are you planning to simply throw away the throne?

Bao Shen was still puzzled, but Shen Mengyan over there would not let him be in a daze here: "Master Bao, you have a lot of experience with the law. There are many provisions here. I have questions one by one. You give me Explain, and then I will add supplementary content to prevent too many loopholes, understand?"

Do you understand this sentence?The volume was very low, but it made Bao Shen's body tremble, and he said hastily, "I understand, sir, please rest assured!"

Then he suddenly remembered, looking at the young man on the other side who dared to fight the emperor, what if the one on the other side was unhappy and killed himself?

It's better to go to work honestly, even if something really happens at that time, he is just a helper anyway, all the notoriety belongs to Shen Mengyan and has nothing to do with him.

So, under Shen Mengyan's questioning, he answered one by one.

Time passed by, and when the time changed from morning to night, a eunuch walked into the room to light the candles in the house, while Shen Mengyan was still working.

Bao Shen's face was covered with sweat at the moment, and he felt his mouth was very dry. If there was a pot of tea in front of him, he could definitely drink it completely. It's not over!

He couldn't even believe that this woman in front of him was coming into contact with the law for the first time, because the question asked by the other party seemed very simple, but after she finished asking, she wanted to add an extra comment below, and those comments made him It's all seen, it turns out that many places that can rely on the second interpretation of the sentence to obtain some benefits to oneself have been blocked.

This is what the other party calls plugging the loophole.

However, as the process continued, Bao Shen finally saw something that surprised him so much that his heart skipped a beat.

"Your Excellency, this means that the current law belongs to the highest law, and other subsequent laws cannot conflict with it, or they will be invalid?"

"That's right, what I mean is this. For example, a new law suddenly appeared one day, saying that the widow's wealth should be merged into the husband's family, so the widow can not follow it, because in this law, it is This kind of situation is not allowed." Shen Mengyan said, pointing to the above content: "Private property is inviolable, no one can."

"This..." Bao Shen saw that his own power was more restricted, and the content behind it was the reason why his heart beat wildly just now: "Then how to explain the legislative power and judicial power of this legal system? "

Shen Mengyan passed the paper over there: "Don't you understand?"

"This... the legislative power is jointly held by the emperor, the council of ministers, and the council of rivers and lakes. Legislation must be passed by the council of ministers and the council of rivers and lakes, and submitted to the emperor for review. If the number of adults is passed, it can be passed." Bao Shen opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say after reading this.

Can you veto the emperor's decision?

It is the emperor's right to weaken his own power, but the woman in front of him is still weakening here!

Is she so courageous?

Continue to look down, and after seeing the judicial power, Bao Shen's breathing became a little short of breath.

"The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the judiciary. There are nine officials. There is one Shangshu, who is the first rank, and eight ministers, who are the first rank. Adopted."

Violation of the constitution (xian) law?

Constitution (xian) law?

Immediately flipping forward, he finally saw the name written on the top.

Great Zhao Guoxian (xian) law!

How powerful is this power? Even the laws passed by the emperor and other major powers will be stopped by the new Ministry of Punishment for violating the constitution (xian). Of course, although this power is great, But it was also tightly restricted.

It is completely dependent on the constitution (xian).

"However, this official is selected from the various factions, so there will still be some biased directions. This is okay, after all, people are not saints." Shen Mengyan said.

Just now, she saw a hot light in Baoshen's eyes, she smelled the fragrance of power, even though it was a new system, but this old fox also immediately noticed the value of it.

Even if this power is not as good as before, he can do whatever he wants.

Under the general trend, only fools will choose to stick to the original interests, and smart people will choose to adapt to the new rules, and then obtain a certain amount of capital.

"It seems that Mr. Bao is very interested."

"No, dare not!"

Shen Mengyan looked at Bao Shen who kept saying that she didn't dare, smiled secretly in her heart, and said, "Actually, it's quite normal to want to get a position in the new Ministry of Criminal Justice. After all, Lord Bao used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Handles so many cases, doesn't it?"

"This... the lower officials dare not take credit for it."

Shen Mengyan said: "My lord Bao, now that you have finished reading what I wrote, you should have seen that in the future, you don't need to obey His Majesty or other ministers in everything. Did you find it?"

"F-I found out..." Bao Shen said in a low voice. If someone said that, he would definitely reprimand "Bold", but he would never dare to say it to the girl in front of him.

She is weakening the imperial power, why is she afraid?

"Then, do you know where the power of this beautiful-looking Criminal Department comes from?" Shen Mengyan asked slowly.

"From..." Bao Shen hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to say "the emperor" habitually, but after thinking hard and struggling for a while, he still said honestly: "From this great Zhao Guoxian (xian) )Law."

If this constitution (xian) is really passed, then this constitution (xian) will be stronger than the "Heaven-given imperial power"!

"So, after becoming the new Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and Minister of the Ministry of Justice, do you know what to do for the stability of your own power?"

"Defend, defend the Great Zhao Guoxian (xian) law..."

Shen Mengyan smiled and said, "That's right, smart."

Then, she said: "From another point of view, because you have gone out independently, in order to convince people from both sides, so as not to throw you aside because of the problem of untrustworthiness, do you know what to do? "

Bao Shen swallowed his saliva: "Work hard, work hard to ensure the fairness of the trial."

Shen Mengyan smiled and said: "That's right, that's how it is, so Mr. Bao, I really think that when His Majesty establishes a new Ministry of Punishment, you have a good chance to go in for further studies."

"Your Excellency, I understand." Bao Shen's breathing became heavy and rapid. After trying to calm down his inner excitement, he bowed to Shen Mengyan: "Thank you for your cultivation, sir!"

He really didn't expect that at this time, there would be such an opportunity thrown in front of his eyes, so that he would have the opportunity to keep up with the new wave, instead of dying behind and sinking to the bottom of the sea because he couldn't adapt.

"Okay, things are almost ready, I should go to His Majesty, you should think about it carefully, or you can think carefully about what I just wrote, maybe you will have new discoveries."

As Shen Mengyan said, she ignored Bao Shen and walked out.

She was going to see Zhao Heng, and then threw the file over.

In the study, Zhao Heng was reviewing the memorial when he heard heavy footsteps and walked in without any disguise.

"Are you expressing that you are angry?" Zhao Heng said.

Shen Mengyan snorted: "Little girl dare not, this is a task assigned by you, if it is completed, I will leave!"

With that said, he put the document that had been revised several times directly in front of Zhao Heng.

"You are in a hurry. It seems that you are busy continuing to roam the rivers and lakes, but first let Gu see what you wrote."

Zhao Heng said, picked up the paper sent by Shen Mengyan, and read it carefully.

The main content of thousands of words, plus tens of thousands of words of notes, became the content of this constitution (xian). Zhao Heng smiled as he read it: "You are so bold, you still want to cut my power."

"One yard is one yard, and a friend is a friend. If you let me do it, I will do my best. Not to mention, I have also made it clear that the emperor represents the people of the Great Zhao Kingdom. It is better to say that it has consolidated your power."

"Ha, that's why I asked you to do it. Yes, it's much better than those from the Ministry of Punishment. Gu also asked them to draft some for a look, but it turned out that the writing didn't make sense!"

Looking at Zhao Heng who was yelling at the Criminal Department, Shen Mengyan pointed outside: "So I can go?"

"Okay, if you didn't like running around, Gu would have wanted you to be the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Farewell!"

When Shen Mengyan heard this, she immediately walked outside without looking back.

Chapter 160 The Second Snake Demon, Help Me Cultivate

After tidying up and saluting, saying goodbye to her father Shen Wanjin, Shen Mengyan left Fengjing as quickly as possible.

Her goal is Kunlun, and to go to Kunlun, she has to go all the way west, and even go out of Da Zhao's territory to reach that place full of legends.

Walking out of Xiguan, which represents the most border city of Dazhao, Shen Mengyan looked at the prairie in front of her and the cattle and sheep walking on the prairie. She had the feeling of coming to another world.

So Shen Mengyan took a deep breath, and chanted: "Li Liyuan is on the grass..."

Just one sentence, she frowned: "It doesn't seem to be suitable for the current scene."

After thinking carefully for a while, she recited the poem again: "Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the whole field. The sky is blue and the wild is vast. When the wind blows the grass, you can see the cattle and sheep."

After reading, she smiled slightly: "Well, this song is really suitable for the current scene."

Thinking of this, Shen Mengyan continued to walk forward without stopping.

Although this place has passed the border of Dazhao, because there has been no country on the grassland, and more tribes are the main ones, the tribes here are still on good terms with Dazhao, and the old emperor has always considered moving More people were brought under their own control, so this place was not cleared by the army.
