sheepskin for melon

At Emperor Jiaming's age, no one could have predicted that he would have children, and those who were more aggressive among the courtiers might have already secretly stood in line.

As for the moderates, those who are used to being wise and protecting their lives are not of much use at critical moments. Emperor Jiaming counted all his officials, and the person who is most useful right now is actually Tan Yushu.

He has both tough and soft temperament, he is quick to do things, he does more and talks less, and most importantly, he is completely loyal to him.

The only shortcoming is that he is too young, and the civil and military courts do not take him seriously.

But for Emperor Jia Ming, this was not a shortcoming.

Don't forget, he is still the master of this world now, whoever he wants to promote will be honored, whoever he wants to hand over the authority to will be the new dignitary.

His unborn child needs the help of a strong minister who has no distracting thoughts, and when his child reaches the prime of life, Tan Yushu just grows old, and just in time to return the authority to his child.

As for whether the unborn child is a boy or a girl, it doesn't really seem to matter. Emperor Jiaming picked up the newspaper with "The Young Master" again.

Discussions about Lu Mei's status actually caused a series of turmoil, and Emperor Jiaming not only failed to quell the turmoil, but dropped an even more shocking bomb: he wanted to rebuild the Great Yong Law.

As soon as this move was made, not to mention, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty began to kneel down to remonstrate, how could future generations disturb the ancestors' law!

Emperor Jiaming said cheerfully: "Why do all the dear ones go to war so much? What I think is only to restore the grand ceremonies, not to abolish the law of the ancestors. Why are all the ministers doing this?"

Ministers:  …

I can't refute what to do, but at this juncture, Emperor Jiaming must have done nothing wrong with this move!

Sure enough, Emperor Jiaming continued: "Flowing water does not rot, and household hinges do not moth. All things should be constantly renewed so as not to be damaged. My ancestors before me have rebuilt the code, but since I came to the throne, I have not yet If there is any change in the law, all lovers can brainstorm and speak freely, and if the words are reasonable, I will adopt them."

Emperor Jiaming speaks widely, and all the ministers can't find any faults in terms of emotion, reason and law, but the problem is that the decision-making power rests entirely with him!

The shrewd ministers immediately joined forces everywhere to make everyone agree, saying that the old law could not be changed!

But when there are more people, there will be more Xiaojiujiu, which cannot be controlled artificially.

So when Emperor Jiaming ordered Lu An to read the opinions of the ministers aloud in the court hall, many ministers who agreed well also put forward suggestions that were beneficial to themselves. Seeing the scrutiny of their companions, they could only bow their heads in shame.

Emperor Jiaming sat condescendingly at the top, and he could see the expressions of the courtiers below at a glance. Seeing the ministers who had their own ghosts and couldn't get together again, he couldn't help being in a good mood.

And after Tan Yushu's memorial was read out, the main event finally came.

Tan Yushu made many suggestions, such as repenting after the appointment and unconditionally slapping the woman sixty years, it should be changed to discuss negligence and return to her own property; women can divorce their wives if they commit seven crimes, and men can commit seven unforgivable crimes. You can divorce your husband; if you sue your husband with your wife, but you have committed a crime, the wife does not need to go to jail.

It is newly added that for those who have no children in the folk, the family property should be inherited by their daughters, and only if they have no children or daughters can they be inherited by other relatives. Anyone who seeks to seize property will be punished by migration.

The marriage of a man is the same as that of a woman, and all the children born belong to the woman's family. Those who secretly repeat their surnames will be punished by migration.

Those who can stand in the court, who has no sense of politics, listen to Tan Yushu's articles, each of which is to improve the status of women in inheritance and marriage, and immediately understand what Emperor Jiaming is planning. He is doing it for himself. "Princess" paves the way!

The most urgent ones are of course those from Prince Fu's group. What does Emperor Jia Ming mean?Is he planning to pass his throne to the princess, and not to his clan relatives?Since ancient times, there has never been such a thing!

However, even if everyone knew in their hearts that Emperor Jiaming was paving the way for this matter, on the bright side, these two matters were irreconcilable.

If Emperor Jiaming directly said that he wanted to establish a female emperor, then the courtiers would naturally have thousands of reputable reasons to refute him, but they haven't said anything yet, it's just a suggestion made by that Brain Twitch surnamed Tan, you can talk to their emperor His Majesty Neither does the relationship.

Who would dare to say that Emperor Jiaming's move was to establish a female emperor, and the child was not born, and he didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, so how dare you conclude that the child must be a girl to slander the emperor?

However, it is not easy to carry out the "law of the ancestors is immutable" now. Almost half of the courtiers have changed for their own self-interest. Is it okay to slap yourself now?

The ministers stared dumbfounded at the current situation. Since when did His Majesty the Emperor become so smart?

There was no way to push hard against Emperor Jiaming, so naturally he could only push hard against Tan Yushu.

There is a limit to your flattery!Doing this now, do you want to be a sinner through the ages!

The officials gritted their teeth with hatred, and someone immediately sarcastically said, "Master Tan is soaking in the pile of rouge every day, and the rules and regulations mentioned are all about the pile of rouge."

Tan Yushu blinked, and said innocently: "My lord, why did you say that? Tan also mentioned important family and country matters such as 'the official uniforms of generals above the third rank are easily changed to purple'. There are only a few things, so why bother to focus on these few items? Can Tan understand that, the adults have no opinions on other things I mentioned, but only on these few items? "

The adults who refuted him: ...

Depend on!Because Tan Yushu's face of wanting to establish an empress is too straightforward and hideous, he secretly poked at the more serious matter of raising the treatment of generals, and was accidentally ignored!

The military generals who have been hiding in the corner and watching the group of civil servants and gods fighting, immediately became energetic when they heard this, and seconded!Seconded!Give us a promotion too!

The other civil servants were almost paralyzed. The matter of setting up a female emperor was serious and serious, and they were still catching wind and shadow after all.

But it is imminent to release military generals and civil servants to compete for profit, and it must not be tolerated!

So he lashed out at Tan Yushu for these points.

Tan Yushu is very innocent. He just changed the color of his official uniform, raised his salary and pension, and increased his benefits a little bit. It shouldn't be such a big reaction, right?

However, all the ministers, it seems that he suddenly has no objection to his "rouge pile". So, is it okay to...

Can a fart!

The smarter ministers immediately realized that Tan Yushu was using two equally bad things to tear the attention of the ministers, and by the way, received the support of the "disadvantaged group" of generals.

Although the Yong Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts, the combined strength of generals who can stand in the court hall should not be underestimated.

As long as the voices in the hall become chaotic and the courtiers can't get together, Emperor Jiaming, as the emperor above everyone, should have the right to make the final decision.

From the very beginning, Tan Yushu and Emperor Jiaming were working together to divide and divide the ministers!

Seeing this, many well-educated and well-informed scholars immediately stood up and refuted Tan Yushu's suggestions one by one.

Tan Yushu couldn't help chuckling: "I didn't expect that the few suggestions that Tan Qianqian raised could cause the courtiers to argue with each other. Does it mean that the few questions Tan raised are still very relevant and very important. ?”

Ministers: ...

You have exhausted all the right words and ironies in co-authoring, right?It's all about you, right?

The old official with a bad heart was almost taken away by him, but Tan Yushu was already smiling and started the next round of offensive.

Taking a step forward: "This humble minister has poor knowledge, so naturally he can't make such a pertinent suggestion. It is really these problems that are the wish of all people!"

After finishing speaking, I asked Emperor Jiaming to agree to bring something into the palace, and Emperor Jiaming naturally agreed.

Then I saw the guards carrying several large boxes in, and when they were opened, they were full of letters.

Tan Yushu said solemnly: "Your Majesty ordered the ministers to gather ideas and discussions. The humble ministers were young and inexperienced and could not decide on their own, so they came up with an idea to collect the wishes of the people for your Majesty! These boxes are all collected from the people. The voices that I played today are all selected from them, I don’t actually have any suggestions, they are just speaking on behalf of the people!"

Ministers:  …

playing with us, right?

Tan Yushu's last move was too ruthless. When Emperor Jiaming heard about it, he pretended to read the Wanmin petition.

After reading it, he immediately cried bitterly and said, "The people are the most important, and the king is the least", he must follow the public opinion and fully agree with Tan Yushu's memorial!

What can other ministers do?Can you step forward to stop Emperor Jiaming from loving the people like a son?

Slowly look at Tan Yushu, you are quite capable...

Tan Yu didn't change his face in writing, depending on what he was doing, he was just a porter of public opinion.

As for how he collected the petitions of the people, it is very simple. There should be no channel with more traffic than the "Efa Temple Weekly" these days.

The previous "Efa Temple Weekly" only published poems, novels, advertisements, etc., and did not carry the most important news function of the newspaper.

You have to ask why, do you want to die if you engage in freedom of speech in ancient times?

But this time is different, the one who instructed them to do this is the supreme ruler of this feudal dynasty, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

So the newspaper published an unprecedented current affairs news, Your Majesty is revising the law, as a commoner, what suggestions do you have?Maybe the voice is high, His Majesty will take a look?If you have something to say, you can draw a red handprint on the paper to show your determination, and submit anonymously to the Erfa Temple.

As soon as they heard this, the common people looked at each other in blank dismay, daring not to say anything, but after night, the "meeting box" in Erfa Temple was full.

Tan took the opportunity to take advantage of the improper relationship with the abbot of Efa Temple to obtain the right to unpack the box in advance, and brought private goods with him, and stuffed what he wanted, disguised as public opinion.

In order to camouflage the image, Tan Yushu switched between his left and right hands and wrote several styles of handwriting, which made Chi Li extremely speechless.

"You've already colluded with the emperor, why bother?"

"Just in case, it's a bit like cheating! Brother Chi, lend me your hand and give me a red seal."

After speaking, without Chi Li's consent, he grabbed his hand and pressed ten fingers one by one.

Chi Li looked down at the five red fingers, and went up to scratch Tan Yushu's face.

Tan Yushu: ...

Brother Chi, stop making trouble!Delay him from doing business!

In short, the Wanmin petition was created in this way.

Originally, this news was published in the newspaper aboveboard, but Ren Manchao Wenwu's mind turned eight corners, and he never thought that Emperor Jiaming would come up with such an idea!

In this way, the new law was finalized smoothly, and the study of Erfa Temple quickly printed the new law and put it on the shelves for distribution. Sometimes the imperial examination will test the law, so the sales of books are extremely hot, and this exam can be regarded as a witness to history.

The "Efa Temple Weekly" also took up the entire entertainment page, publishing the new regulations of the Dayong Law.

Originally, the sales of "Elfa Temple Weekly" mainly depended on the entertainment page, but now that all the content has been replaced with legal content, the sales have become even more popular!

After all, no one would be shocked by such a major event that opened up the world.

God, His Majesty really listened to their suggestions, what kind of earth-shattering sage is this!

The content of the new law, along with the explosive sales of newspapers, spread more and more widely through word of mouth.

In ancient times, the rulers at the top practiced a policy of ignoring the people at the bottom, deified imperial power, and ordinary people worshiped the emperor, which is unimaginable to modern people.

That's why they don't have any idea that the law of the ancestors is immutable, as long as it is said by the emperor, it is an imperial decree!

Even if some rotten Confucians have opinions, their voices are insignificant compared with the huge number of common people.

Moreover, many of the regulations revised by this new law are exactly what the people urgently need. Take the few "rouge piles" regulations as an example-

The Yong Dynasty ruled the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, and the scholar-bureaucrats were not punished, so the atmosphere of the whole society from top to bottom was very tolerant.

Business was also encouraged, and the commodity economy developed rapidly, along with the rapid advancement of various technological levels, which liberated more people from agricultural production and created more and more employment opportunities that did not rely solely on manual labor.

So more and more women are able to make money to support their families. The reason why Chi Mu opened a shop on the street was no surprise, because it was not a rare thing in the Yong Dynasty. Many women earned more than men by relying on an outstanding craft. many.

Whoever makes money is the boss at any time. However, even if many women earn the most money, they are bound by the legal dogma that men are superior to women. How can people swallow this breath?But for the one-daughter family, it's not so good to be eaten up.

This kind of contradiction in the society has long been intensified, and those with vested interests have turned a blind eye to it, but those who have suffered from it have long been unable to bear it.

So when these new laws came out, beyond the expectations of those rotten scholars, there was a lot of praise.

There is a "God Embroidery Lady" in Beijing who has earned tens of thousands of family assets by virtue of her superb embroidery skills, but she has to support her husband who likes to eat, drink, whore and gamble, and is often beaten all over by the drunk husband.

On this day, no matter how unbearably humiliated she was, she poured arsenic and frost into the teapot, preparing to die with that beast!But I didn't want to hear the news of the new law.

Lady Shenxiu buried the tea almost immediately, grabbed a newspaper and read it repeatedly, weeping with joy.

Her husband gambled and violated the laws of the country. This is one unforgivable crime. Beating his wife is another unforgivable crime. Seven criminals are unforgivable.

It's not about being cast down, nor about being let go of your wife, but about getting divorced!

In order not to force the officials too much, the first revision of the law was actually not that big, it was just a trivial matter, but among the people, it still brought about unimaginable changes for ordinary people.

Chi Li and Tan Yushu received the feedback after the implementation of the new law together, raised their eyebrows and said, "You and your emperor doing this is almost tantamount to declaring war on the officials. Are you afraid that they will rebel in a hurry?"

But Tan Yushu couldn't help laughing out: "Brother Chi, there is a saying I heard from you, that is, if a scholar rebels, he can't succeed in ten years."

Don't look at the Yong Dynasty's preferential treatment of civil officials and the power of civil officials, but that's only the emperor's permission.

The separation of official positions in the Yong Dynasty means that I can give you an official position and pay you a salary, but I will not assign you work. When you need to find someone to work, you can just make up an official title. Who can let on.It is true that the emperor can promote whoever he wants, and he can demote whoever he wants. If you are in a hurry, it is definitely not the emperor who can't stand it first.

As for the threat of resignation, just kidding, the Yong Dynasty treated literati preferentially, and there were many reserve officials.

As for those Wang family members, they were all raised in the capital, and there was no feudal mansion at all, 80 imperial troops, and 800 million small bosses. No one could order them except the emperor.

If you have no power, power, or soldiers, if you take the lead to rebel, you will be more vocal. If you really want to rebel, the "Golden Pheasant Tianzun" is even more threatening.

Seeing Tan Yushu's rare expression of "contempt of the king", Chi Li couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth: "What about you, how long will it take?"

After Tan Yushu reacted, he realized that Chi Li was asking how long it would take for him to rebel, and he was speechless for a while.

He is a loyal minister, how could he rebel!

But if it's just a purely academic discussion, it depends on the geographical location, the strength of the troops, and the degree of hip stretching of the defenders. I always feel that it won't take long. I really don't know whether I should be happy or not.
