Chapter 17 This guy doesn't want to die
"Mr. Meng is right. There are too many things that go against the king in the Public Law. If the emperor blames it, I am afraid that the Qin law will not be able to continue before it has begun to change."
All the ministers also showed concern.
Even Feng Jie, who had been applauding the "Public Law", said at this time: "What you all said is very true. In fact, the officials also have this concern. Please ask the Chief Secretary to make some changes and be careful."
Li Yang smiled: "What you are talking about is the first article of the Public Law. Is the Great Qin of all people the Great Qin?"
Meng Yi nodded: "This is indeed against the king. As the saying goes, all over the world are kingly land, and all within the world are kingly ministers. This Great Qin is the Great Qin of His Majesty, how can it be said to be the Great Qin of all people?"
"Yes, the Great Qin can only be His Majesty's Great Qin, and it must not be said to be the Great Qin of all people." The ministers agreed one after another.
Li Yang disagreed and said, "My dear masters, your words are very wrong. If this Great Qin Empire is just His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Qin, how dare you ask you, why do you let all the people in the world defend the country for him? Why do you let all the people in the world obey the laws of the Great Qin, love the laws of the Great Qin, and protect the laws of the Great Qin?"
"this……"
Suddenly, the crowd was speechless.
A group of people seemed to eat a fly, and they had something to say in their hearts. In fact, they wouldn’t understand Li Yang’s truth, but the problem is that this sentence cannot be stated in the open, and it is a crime of being beheaded.
After thinking for a while, Meng Yi sighed and said, "Zhongcheng, we naturally understand the truth, but... we cannot say this, and we cannot write it into the "Public Law". This is a serious crime to punish the nine clans."
Li Yang's face suddenly became less beautiful, and he said with a righteous saying: "The law changes in our province today, and this is the old thought and old consciousness! If we cannot use new thoughts and new political consciousness to reform the law, then no matter how much we change, the law will not change. Moreover, the law is based on the word fairness. If our province dare not even say the fair words "The Great Qin is the Great Qin of all people", then the law will become a big deal, so it is better to wash and sleep."
"..." Everyone looked at each other, feeling like they wanted to die.
What a sin, what a sin did he do? How could he follow such a desperate guy to make a change? Now, I guess my life will be compensated by this guy.
Everyone waited, and looked at Meng Yi and Feng Jie unwillingly, hoping that they could persuade the Prime Minister who was desperate. After all,... if you want to die, don't pull us?
Meng Yi and Feng Jie were also depressed. Even Shang Yang did not dare to do such a reform.
Meng Yi sighed in his heart and had to face the difficulties: "Zhongcheng, there are not only one place in this "Public Law", but also many places. For example, Article 46: The provisions of the people of the Qin Dynasty who have the obligation to perform labor service, may...they cause the law to fail."
"Is there any problem with this one?" Li Yang asked disrespectfully.
Meng Yi nodded and said seriously: "There is a big problem, because the Chief Secretary added a slack season after this clause. It means that only in the slack season, the people have the obligation to perform labor service. In this way, wouldn't all the millions of servants today go home? This... Isn't this furious for His Majesty to know!"
"Yes, this is absolutely not desirable!" Everyone agreed.
Feng Jie also hurriedly said: "Maybe the time for Zhongcheng to enter the court is still short, and he doesn't know that the weight of corvee service is now at the point where a man is not working hard to farm enough food and pay, and a woman is not enough to spin clothes. For this reason, my father once advised Your Majesty that he should not add corvee service, but the result made His Majesty furious, and his father almost... almost lost his life for this. Now, Zhongcheng actually wrote in the "Public Law" that the people only have the obligation to perform corvee service during the slack farming period. How could Your Majesty agree? Your Majesty disagrees, and the "Public Law" loses its majesty and credibility, and the law reform is meaningless."
"Yes, what Lord Feng said is very true. Not to mention that we ministers in the court do not dare to advise Your Majesty to reduce the labor service. Even the eldest son Fusu was also punished for making such statements. Lord Zhongcheng must not repeat the same mistake and cause trouble." Everyone dissuaded.
Their meaning is very obvious. If the Public Law is not revised, not only will the reform be unsuccessful, but even the life will be lost.
Li Yang said with a slight look on his head and said, "Don't be so frightened. I believe what you said is not false. This clause of corvee service is indeed contrary to what Your Majesty is doing now."
This sentence seems to be heard.
Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and was delighted, and finally persuaded this desperate man to stop.
Meng Yi and Feng Jie were actually very pleased. After all, they still felt that the Zhongcheng was still too young. Now, with their guidance, they finally got enlightened and could be considered a Confucian scholar.
Feng Jie said: "Since Zhongcheng knows that it is amazing, then I wonder how Lord Zhongcheng plans to modify it?"
Meng Yi felt that Li Yang was not relieved to modify it himself. After all, Ni Jun had too many words and had to make major changes, so he volunteered to say, "The Chief Executive has worked hard recently, so he might as well modify this "Public Law" by the lower officials. After the modification is completed, he will be handed over to you for review. How about it?"
Everyone nodded and looked at Li Yang with anticipation.
Li Yang was stunned and subconsciously said: "Modify? Why do you need to modify it? This "Public Law" has been transmitted to all over the world by the special envoy, why are you still modifying it?"
"…………” Everyone was stunned.
Meng Yi said with a confused look on his face, "This...this...no, Zhongcheng, don't you think it goes against His Majesty's idea?"
Li Yang nodded and said seriously: "Yes, so we must write it into the "Public Law" and let Your Majesty abide by it, so that we will not create the current situation of "men are not able to work hard to farm, and women are not able to spin and wear clothes."
"…………” Everyone fainted.
At this time, Meng Yi seemed to remember something and asked quickly: "By the way, yesterday, the Chief Secretary sent someone to collect the seals of our Tingwei Office and the Censorate. Could it be that the "Public Law" was just released?"
When Feng Jie heard this, he was also shocked.
Li Yang nodded and smiled: "I was ordered by the emperor to open the law and reform it. In order to show the majestic and solemnity of the Public Law, I felt that if I only stamped the seal of this palace, it would not be solemn, so I put your seals together. In this way, the Prime Minister's Office, the Censor and the Tingwei Office have all the three departments, which can prove that the majestic and majestic law of the Public Law are very powerful."
Meng Yi and Feng Jie were shocked and could no longer bear it. They collapsed on the ground, feeling cold in their hearts.
It's over...it's all...
Originally, with Li Yang's legal reform, the Public Law was so rebellious that it would be implicated and punished. Now, the seals of the Censor and the Tingwei Department were stamped. Now, let alone being dismissed from office, I am afraid that if they gave them ten lives, they would not be enough to cut them down!
"Zhongcheng, we want to see the emperor." Feng Jie's tears came out and he choked and begged. Since childhood, his father Feng Quji has always reminded him that being with the king is like a tiger, so he must be careful in everything to stay away from danger. But now, he finds that what he is doing is not only dangerous, but also may kill the nine clans.
It's really a sin. The Feng clan cannot just fall into the hands of Li Yang, this guy. Feng Jie's eyes are red.
"Yes, we want to see the emperor too." Everyone also petitioned.
There is no way, this guy is desperate, everyone doesn't want to play with him like this, so they have to quickly report everything to the emperor so that they can avoid being implicated and be buried with him.
Li Yang originally wanted to speak up and be angry. After all, these people are important officials in the court, but when he thought about it, these guys were afraid of being implicated, so he would definitely not be able to persuade them. It seems that they can only be tough.
Li Yang's face changed immediately and he shouted loudly: "Li You!"
Li You rushed in immediately: "What's the matter with sir?"
Li Yang ordered: "Li You obeys the order, if you all dare to leave without authorization today, you can directly take it to our mansion!"
"Abide by the order!"
Li You retreated to the door, waved his hand, and immediately a group of black-armored soldiers rushed to the door of the hall, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, guarding the hall tightly.
This time, everyone was stunned.
"Zhongcheng...you...you..." Meng Yi suddenly felt like he was being held by a knife to sell himself. This...it was completely unreasonable.
Li Yang said with a face: "Stop talking nonsense. Now it is the time to work. How can you let go out early? If you want to see the emperor, go to see him tomorrow. Today, you must leave here for our mansion to revise the Qin law, and you can't go anywhere! Otherwise, it will be a violation of the laws of our Great Qin law and will be killed without mercy!"
Everyone was shocked, and then they remembered the emperor's instructions that the court and the public were informed that anyone who violated the law of the Great Qin Dynasty, regardless of the relatives of the Gong clan, would be punished according to the law.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but dare to have an attack.
Seeing that everyone was suppressed, Li Yang ordered: "Master Feng led officials of the Censorate to re-compile the Qin Supervision Law, the new law was called the Administrative Law, and Master Meng led officials of the Tingwei Office to re-compile the existing Qin Law, the new law was called the Criminal Law."
"Remember, the new laws are guided by the Public Law and must not violate the main intention of the Public Law! Sir, let's start!" Li Yang waved his hand and ordered.
Meng Yi and Feng Jie were suffering from their hearts, and they wanted to beat their chests and stamp their feet.
Chapter completed!
