Chapter 1313 The Son of Heaven Legislation (2)(1/2)
After returning to the embassy specially arranged by the Han Dynasty for the envoys of the Dian Kingdom, Wu Xin immediately closed the door impatiently, then hid in the study and took out the notes given by the Wusun people.
After seeing it, Wu Xin immediately became angry.
"Good governance in the country is indeed good governance in the country!"
There are only three sentences on the note.
1: The emperor is the son of the world and the descendant of the country, so he inherits the world and takes over all nations.
2: The ruling official is selected from the prefectures and counties, established in the center, and respects the emperor in the world, and respects the system and rules.
3: If the king worships his ministers, then the minister worships the king. If the king does not worship his ministers, then the minister does not worship his ministers.
After reading these three sentences, Wu Xin was already excited and danced with joy. He was so excited that he wanted to rush to the Prime Minister's residence and kowtowed and shouted: Prime Minister Zhang has achieved his moral character and martial ethics, long live the future!
There is no way, if these three sentences are true.
This means that the general principles and spirit of the Han Dynasty, the law of Emperors, have come out.
The first sentence, although it seems to point out the importance of the king, emphasizes the status of the king.
But in fact, the news revealed in the subtext is similar to the ones in the previous Han Dynasty newspapers.
The emperor is just the son of all people in the world.
Because of history and tradition, the people of the world grant the rule of the world to those with virtue.
But if the emperor cannot fulfill his duty of inheriting the world and filial to all the people.
Tang and Wu removed the tripod, and King Wu defeated Zhou, which means following the heavens and responding to the people and punishing the people, which is natural.
The second sentence is to clearly determine that the status of the ruling minister is not the appointment of your emperor (king), but the ministers who are selected from the two thousand stones of the states and counties in the world, the marquises and the wise men to serve the world.
Especially the last few words, they are the finishing touch!
Isn’t the so-called abiding by the system and following the rules and regulations what the Han Prime Minister Cao Shen said to Emperor Hui back then?
Now Your Majesty is upright and I am the one who is in charge of my duties, so I will not lose it. Isn’t that okay?
So, the subtext of this sentence is that you can just look like an emperor and put your clothes on. Let’s leave the affairs of the world to the professional ruling ministers!
Together with the previous sentence, it can be concluded that the emperor can only speak out on major issues such as the world and the country, and he will not interfere with any other major affairs, regular governance, and personnel affairs.
Because, according to the current understanding of the Han Dynasty.
The so-called emperor is the king who is ordered by heaven.
However, this heaven was quietly changed from the "unknown and unpredictable" God in the past to "Heaven listens to the people, and the people look at themselves and the people look at themselves". That is, the people in the world form the God together. Their will and demands gather together to produce God.
Therefore, the emperor is the son of the world.
We must be filial to the people, be loyal to the world and the country.
Otherwise, it would be unfilial!
Now, these two points completely determine this principle in the form of law.
In other words, in another sense, the status of the ruling doctor was raised to a level almost the same as that of the emperor.
However, it is possible that the emperor was ordered by the world, while the ruling doctor was only ordered by part of the world.
However, the three dukes, especially the prime minister, must be the masters who are like the emperor and are ordered by the world.
Moreover, in a sense, the power and status of the prime minister may be higher.
Because the emperor is only ordered by heaven and has the power to supervise the world.
But the Prime Minister was ordered to summarize the yin and yang, and to control the upper and lower levels.
Therefore, the third article specifically emphasizes the spirit of the first two points that the general ruler worships his ministers, and if the ruler does not worship his ministers, then the ruler does not worship his ministers.
Look, the minister has made demands and responsibilities to the emperor.
If a dictator with great power is in a state of rage, he will be furious when he sees these three points, and he may be angry and draw his sword.
However, Wu Xin's face turned red with excitement.
I just feel that every word and every word is said to my heart.
"It's amazing! It's amazing!"
He murmured, unable to help but sigh.
After being in power for so many years, he naturally had his own thoughts.
Now, the Han Dynasty took the lead in introducing such a law, which is a long-term drought and rain for Wu Xin!
Completely, completely scratched his itch!
…………………………………………
"Is the Prime Minister really going to be a saint?" Lu Hui played with the silk book in front of him, his face full of incredible expression.
It should be noted that if these three points become the general principles of the law of that emperor.
In the future, the empress who became emperor will also become the core provision of the law of the new dynasty in the future.
At least it will be the main clause!
In other words, the emperors of the new dynasty will also be subject to these provisions in the future.
Except for the Zhou Duke who was really determined to be a contemporary Zhou, Lu Hui could not think of other possibilities.
"Brother Lu... Why bother?" Across Lu Hui, there was a minister wearing a shaved hat and black clothes sitting. It was Hu Jian. A month ago, Hu Jian became the Chief of the Tingwei and officially embarked on the road to rule.
However, a minister of the Legalists and a leader of the Confucian Gongyang School became close friends.
This matter is a bit wrong no matter how you look at the style of painting.
It should be noted that today, in addition to fighting with each other within, the Confucianism most likes to rub against the Legalists.
In this Chang'an city alone, the Confucian "Shenjing Xunbao" and the Legalist "Imperial Capital Monthly" have been tearing each other together for five years since its founding.
According to legend, the newspaper editors of these two institutions are on Song Street Avenue in front of Shaofu’s official residence, who carry swords and crossbows on their daily work.
The purpose is to in case of provoking the opponent's mortal enemy, you can draw your sword and startle it and shock the opponent with physical persuasion!
However, the Legalists have a little poor foundation and a little weak foundation.
In this Chang'an City, I was so breathless that I was suppressed by Confucianism.
But who would have expected that this Confucian giant Lu Hui actually drank with the Legal giant Hu Jian, and even called him brothers, so he was just about to go shopping in the flower streets together.
"This is a good thing!" Hu Jian said seriously: "It is a good thing for the world or for you and me!"
"Yes!" Lu Hui nodded: "It is indeed a good thing that has never been seen in the ages!"
Imperial power is terrifying!
Everyone who has seen it will tremble at it.
Lu Hui had faced the horror of imperial power. His father Lu Wenshu was forced by imperial power to commit a serious crime of bullying his master and destroying his ancestors!
Although, Master Dong knew in his heart that he did not blame his father.
but……
People in the world don't think so.
Now, the law of this emperor is certain, and the terror and domineering of the imperial power will be reduced by at least 90%!
If you have a heavenly constitution in your mouth, you can determine life and death with just one word, or even determine the rise and fall of the world with joy and anger, you may approach zero.
But Lu Hui couldn't understand why the prime minister did this?
Is it good for him?
If you think about it carefully, it seems that there is no other benefit except reputation.
Even in the future, you will have to suffer the consequences and even be restricted.
And that person has always been good at planning and then acting, and likes to enforce the law. The snow disaster last year clearly shows that person, who was, is, and will definitely be a person who does not follow the rules and even regards the system as a joke.
He always ignores morality and system as long as it is profitable.
As long as it meets its will, no matter what good or evil people are.
Zhang Chiyou's name is well known!
In Lu Hui's opinion, the prime minister was a very clever ferocious beast in disguise.
Now, this ferocious beast is actually planning to lock itself up in an iron cage?!
Who believes it?
Anyway, Lu Hui doesn't believe it!
Looking at Lu Hui's expression, Hu Jian scooped himself a bowl of warm hot wine. After taking a sip, he said mysteriously: "Brother Lu, when I was the Prime Minister, I was the Prime Minister and was the Xinfeng Weiwei, I once asked the Prime Minister for a question..."
"What is the system of law?"
"Is it just a tool to ban violence and punish evil spirits, or is it just a tool to maintain order?"
Lu Hui listened, raised her head, with a solemn expression.
To be continued...
