Lao Zhu seemed to understand what the lawyer Da Sun was talking about was.
"After the self-collection case, the law of the Ming Dynasty became quite popular," Zhu Xiongying paused, "Wang Da and Wang Er are negative examples."
Yang Pu and others looked at each other.
"Treat lawyering as a profession, just like farming and weaving. Anyone can choose this profession."
"Like plowing the fields and weaving cloth?"
Zhu Yuanzhang repeated it in a low voice.
"Yes, grandpa, unlike lawyers, lawyers make money by accepting clients.
With formal profit channels, we can prevent them from making money by colluding with the yamen officials to a large extent. "
What kind of head is Lao Zhu? Zhu Xiongying just nodded. Lao Zhu instantly understood what a lawyer is.
The eldest grandson wants to use private power to add another door to the judicial review process. If this lawyer can really be brought out, it will indeed greatly relieve the pressure on the Ministry of Punishment. With the pressure on the Ministry of Punishment relieved, there will naturally be fewer unjust and wrong cases.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, every time his eldest grandson's ideas were so wild and unconstrained, he just wanted to solve the problem of candidates from the north and the south through the points system.
He can always solve problems from angles that others would never think of.
Speaking of which, isn't Lao Zhu unclear about the situation in the Criminal Department? That is very clear,
So Lao Zhu never trusted the Ministry of Justice. Otherwise, why would he have to hire a Jin Yiwei to help him?
The Criminal Department is like a rough assembly line. It can absorb prisoners to the greatest extent, but it cannot cover everything.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not criticizing the existence of the Ministry of Punishment. Otherwise, he would not have been able to keep the Ministry of Punishment until now to manage a country with a vast territory. As a judicial machine, the Ministry of Punishment has done its best.
It is basically impossible to solve the problem from within the system. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would have solved it long ago.
There is only one thing Zhu Yuanzhang, or the emperors of the past dynasties, can do, and that is to establish additional institutions in addition to the Ministry of Punishments, and continuously superimpose divisions.
However, this method can only solve the problem temporarily, not forever. Instead, the bureaucracy will become more and more bloated.
But for this seemingly dead end problem, the eldest grandson came up with a plan that no one had thought of.
"Grandson, you are really like this!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson. At this moment, Lao Zhu couldn't say any words of praise. He could only give a thumbs up to his eldest grandson and waved twice vigorously.
At the same time, his face was filled with glory, as if this was the most glorious thing he had done in his life.
Yang Pu and Fang Xiaoru only had admiration in their eyes. Suddenly, Fang Xiaoru thought of something and said in a panicked voice,
"Your Majesty, if lawyers become a private profession, wouldn't it mean that the palace would have no control over them?"
Fang Xiaoru's words were vague enough, but the old foxes and little foxes present all understood what Fang Xiaoru meant.
Your Majesty's method is certainly good, but allowing people to practice law on their own means that your Majesty has taken the initiative to cut off part of the power in your hands.
As we all know, the emperor wants to continue to centralize power, but His Majesty is instead decentralizing power. Perhaps nothing can be seen in the short term.
However, in the long run, interpretations of the Ming Law will also appear among the people, and the government no longer has the sole right to interpret the Ming Law.
In fact, one day in the future there will be a situation where people's interpretation of the Ming Law will force the court to reform!
Fang Xiaoru was the most loyal to the emperor. When he thought that His Majesty wanted to distribute the power in his hands to the private sector, the balance in his heart quickly tilted and he did not support private sector lawyers.
Of all the people present, Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one who understood Zhu Xiongying best.
Lao Zhu knew what his eldest grandson wanted to do all the time. At the same time, Lao Zhu could not help but curse Fang Xiaoru secretly in his heart.
Let me think about it, co-author, you just realized it now?
Then you have done so many things with our eldest grandson,
Popularizing education, setting up schools, reforming laws... which one is not a matter of enlightening the people's wisdom, and which one is not a matter of decentralization?
It can be said that what Zhu Xiongying did is completely opposite to what Zhu Yuanzhang did.
Old Zhu wants to centralize power, and Xiao Zhu wants to decentralize power.
However, even though he knew this, Lao Zhu's attitude remained consistent.
What else can be done? We just support it!
There is no place in the world like our eldest grandson. The most important thing is to have fun!
What's more, if Da Sun is having fun, he is not harming others, but benefiting Ming Dynasty, so Lao Zhu is even more supportive!
However, it was impossible for Lao Zhu to tell Fang Xiaoru this.
"This is what I want..." Zhu Xiongying's voice was not loud, but with unprecedented determination, which even gave those present the illusion that His Majesty will definitely complete this matter!
Hearing this, Fang Xiaoru's expression changed. This complex emotion appeared on his face. In the end, only loyalty remained.
"Your Majesty, I understand."
Lao Zhu chuckled and said in his heart, it seems that this kid has turned a corner.
Why make things so complicated? The most important thing is your loyalty.
Foolish loyalty means unconditionally executing Zhu Xiongying's ideas without any doubt.
This was also what Zhu Yuanzhang valued most about Fang Xiaoru.
Lao Zhu’s selection criteria.
Loyalty is more important than talent.
Zhu Xiongying glanced at everyone. He felt it was necessary to let everyone know where the end of this road is.
He opened his mouth and said,
"People will change, and I will change too. Perhaps, for the current Ming Dynasty, I am a wise king.
But after sitting on the throne for decades, I can't guarantee whether he will still be a wise king, and I can't guarantee that all his descendants will be wise kings after they succeed to the throne. "
A thoughtful look flashed across everyone's faces. Even if they subconsciously wanted to refute what His Majesty said, after thinking about it carefully, His Majesty's words were the truth.
People will change,
A wise king for a moment will not be a wise king forever.
This has been verified countless times in history.
Moreover, as His Majesty said, can every subsequent emperor of the Ming Dynasty be as outstanding as these two?
It's impossible,
Not to mention being on par with these two majesties, they did not even dare to hope that future emperors of the Ming Dynasty could catch up to one thousandth of his majesty.
Why is Ru Taisu, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, so old, yet he still refuses to retreat?
Because everyone knows that His Majesty Zhu Xiongying in front of him will never be seen again.
This is the best emperor, now is the best era,
"People change...but some things never change..."
Zhu Xiongying's eyes flashed, and his voice was firm.
"Your Majesty, what is that?"
Yang Pu asked with fascination flashing in his eyes.
Zhu Xiongying slowly spit out two words,
"civilization."
