Hou Tai had a look of despair on his face. He was just signing a symbolic memorial to join in the fun. Why was he named alone?
Isn’t it a bit of a bummer to use the "Da Ming Law" as an example now?
That's right, the thirty volumes of the "Da Ming Code" include the Five Punishments, the Ten Evils, the Eight Disciplines, the Official Code, the Household Code, the Rite Code, the Military Code, the Criminal Code, and the Gong Code, totaling 460 articles. You can't find them in it. There is a clear article saying that officials cannot apologize to the people.
But if you have to check the "Da Ming Law" yourself, you can really find a few or even dozens of articles, which are enough for Ru Jin to rectify the law on the spot. For example, Ru Jin can be designated as a "treacherous party".
reason?
How many people did Taizu use to accuse Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu of being "traitors"? He could still use it again a few years later. In one sentence, he participated in Hu Weiyong's rebellion, and he was an accomplice of Lan Yu. It doesn't matter what your identity is. And got the job done.
Now it is not impossible to create a Rujun case...
Although the "Da Ming Code" adopts the principle of "lighten the minor offenses and attach greater importance to the serious crimes", that is, matters related to ceremonies, customs and education, etc., are subject to lighter punishments; thefts and matters related to money and food, etc., are subject to heavier penalties. However, "Da Ming Law" still has a huge room for maneuver, and that is:
Doing it improperly is a crime!
The so-called "doing something improperly is a crime", in layman's terms, if you do something you shouldn't do, it is a crime.
As for what specific things should not be done, you need to use your imagination.
For example, you should have something light in the morning, but you insist on eating garlic and spit in the court. Do you think this is inappropriate?
For another example, if you yawn in the court, the cabinet minister is reporting on national affairs. How can you yawn?
Rujun's behavior is typically inappropriate and should be classified as a crime and severely punished.
Zhu Yunwen also knew this very well. Whether it was the "Da Ming Code" or the "Tang Code", any ancient law was based on Legalist thought, and one of the Legalist thoughts was:
If the punishment cannot be known, the power cannot be measured.
The meaning is also very simple, that is, if the law is not promulgated, its power will be endless.
You don’t even know that these punishments exist, and the majesty of the punishments is naturally unfathomable. I advise you not to test the law by yourself, but try it. Alas, this is the law.
This is the theoretical basis of "doing something improperly will break the law", and also the origin of the so-called "flexibility" of laws in ancient times.
This one is very harmful and very vital. Even in later generations, everyone has encountered this one, from babies to dead people, no one is spared.
That is:
The final right of interpretation belongs to XX.
It is absolutely impossible to explain the explanation behind this sentence. It is impossible to make this part public and literal. After all, "the punishment is unknowable, and the power is unfathomable". How can there be "majesty" after it has been said? There is room for change, so how can there be a way out?
In a word: As long as the right of interpretation is not announced, its room for interpretation is endless.
In ancient times, it was not the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, or the Metropolitan Procuratorate that had the final power of interpretation. It was the emperor himself.
Zhu Yunwen was very arrogant, and Hou Tai couldn't refute it. After all, it was not the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, or Dali Temple that had the final power of interpretation.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is me.
If you say that Ru Yu is inappropriate, then I insist on explaining that she is. Why, do you want to read the book and confront her?
Hou Tai looked at Zhu Yunwen who was beaten down, and was completely speechless. So he learned part of Ru Jin's style, knelt down and shouted: "I am guilty..."
If you don't admit guilt, you will have to take the blame for framing your colleagues, which is a bit harsh.
Seeing the change in the court situation, before Yu Xin could clear his throat and straighten his official uniform, Xie Jin had already stood up and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, according to the "Ming Dynasty Law", there is nothing wrong with Master Ru, and there is no sin... "
The other officials were immediately furious. If you say Rujun is not guilty, does that mean we are guilty? Although you Jie Jin are very successful in the cabinet, you can't deceive people like this, right?
Jie Jin did not intend to offend the majority, so he instead said: "However, what Rujun did will eventually bring disgrace to the court. The courtiers who wrote the impeachment letter also did it for the sake of the court. I thought that all the officials were innocent, so I should issue an edict to Shanxi and reprimand them." Rujun one or two."
In just a few words, Xie Jin protected hundreds of officials, stood up for them, won people's hearts, and gave a solution, which shows that this person has deep political skills.
Baiguan Jingjin said this, and his views on him suddenly changed. The officials who were originally standing opposite Xie Jin because of the "teaching material dispute" also realized at this moment that Xie Jin was not that annoying and would still protect everyone.
When Xie Jin listened to the courtiers' whispers, he knew he had done the right thing.
But he was still wrong.
Zhu Yunwen stood up, took two steps forward, looked at all the officials sternly, and said majestically: "The Xinzhou government robbed the people by force, oppressed the people, and made them mourn in white clothes. Such evil behavior, how is it different from bandits? Ru Yu Do you really lose the face of the court by admitting your mistakes and apologizing to the people on behalf of the Xinzhou government office? Since all of you are so shameless, why would you do such a thing? Isn't this more shameless and embarrassing than apologizing?"
"There are a lot of court discussions and impeachments. I see that you only care about face, but no one talks about the crimes committed by the Xinzhou Prefecture! Why do you think Rujun escorted the Xinzhou Prefect and others to the capital?! He just wants you to see clearly. Which is more important, sin or face! If you are afraid of losing face, you should cherish your own face. If you don’t cherish it, you blame others. It’s really ridiculous!”
"The cabinet drafts an edict, Ru Yu helps the dangerous wall to fall down, and saves the people's hearts from the storm. He is a model of upright ministers. He is awarded the title of Grand Scholar of Wuying Palace and is awarded with brocade silk and satin! Whoever can write these memorials will take them back and think about themselves. What's wrong!"
Zhu Yunwen did not let Xie Jin lead him away and chose to sit on the fence so that neither party would be offended. Instead, he chose to recognize and support Ru Ru while letting all officials reflect.
As for whether they will be dissatisfied, that is their own business.
Some officials will leave the court within a few years. Let them follow their own whims.
In any case, the Rujun incident is finally over. It was supposed to be a stormy sea and the boat capsized, but it turned out to be a stormy and motionless mountain.
Yu Xin sighed secretly. Zhu Yunwen was right. The background of Ru Yu's incident was the robbery by the Xinzhou government, but no one asked why. They only focused on Ru Yu's behavior and continued to attack.
This is the so-called blindness, and you can't see Mount Tai.
"Master Xie, your granddaughter will be one month old tomorrow, so please come early."
Yu Xin walked towards Jie Jin and said with a smile.
Xie Jinwei
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He raised his brows, looked at the peaceful Yu Xin, nodded, and said, "Since it's full moon wine, I have to go early."
Yu Xin and Xie Jin chatted and laughed before leaving Fengtian Hall.
Affected by the Rujun incident, the chaotic dispute over textbooks has gradually moved towards reconciliation. In the final analysis, it is still the result of political confrontation that has no results.
The conservative faction cannot defeat the revolutionary faction. Although the revolutionary faction has a shallow foundation and its core personnel are mainly new people who entered the court, their backer is Zhu Yunwen. If Zhu Yunwen does not allow them to fail, then they will not fail.
And the reformists can't defeat the conservatives. Funny to say, their backer is also Zhu Yunwen...
Fighting back and forth is just a trick of imperial power to check and balance.
The court was rarely clean for two days. Zhu Yunzhen was unstoppable. He handled government affairs in Wuying Hall in the morning and went fishing in the back lake in the afternoon. Not to mention Ma Enhui, even Concubine Shu, Concubine Ning and others were aware of some problems, but they were all smart. kept silent.
If you don’t want to go back to the harem, then don’t go back. Anyway, Houhu is much better than the harem. At least it has mountains, water and scenery.
Sitting by the lake, Zhu Yunwen was chatting and laughing with Ma Enhui about some interesting things. Shuangxi came over and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shi, the commander of the Security Bureau, wants to see you."
Ma Enhui inserted the fishing rod in the crack of the stone, glanced at Zhu Yunwen, and said with a bit of resentment: "Then I want to avoid it?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded, not giving Ma Enhui a chance to play hard to get.
Ma Enhui had no choice but to go to the pavilion nearby to talk to Concubine Ning and others.
Gu Sanshen saluted.
Zhu Yunwen asked: "How is the investigation going?"
Gu Sanjian took out a booklet, presented it to him, and said: "According to the punishment records and the circumstantial evidence from the memories of the old men in the palace, former Shangfu Lu Shan, the palace eunuch Qiu He and others were all punished for their mistakes. Among them, Lu Shan Zhong is responsible for thirty sticks, Qiu He is responsible for sixty sticks...Other officials are roughly the same."
Zhu Yunwen looked at the lake with some sadness in his eyes.
Sixty sticks, this is probably showing mercy, if not, twenty sticks would be enough to beat someone to death. If the injury is injured, it can be easily healed by applying medicine for a few months, but the pain and hatred of being beaten cannot be cured by medicine.
They share the same misery, and they become a kind of people, just like this, living together in the palace, and then plotting something.
Looking back at history, there are no emperors who were killed or almost killed by eunuchs and maids.
For example, the eunuch Zong Ai was a fierce man. He could be said to be a unique and tyrannical eunuch in history. Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian were nothing compared to him.
Zong Ai was not only the first eunuch in history to be crowned king, but also the only eunuch to kill two emperors. The emperors he killed were Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Tao and Emperor Jingshou Tuobayu.
One of the reasons that led Zong Ai to kill Tuoba Tao was that Tuoba Tao had a bad temper and was erratic in killing.
Zhu Yuanzhang also had this point...
Another example is Tang Jingzong Li Zhan, who was also killed by the eunuch Liu Keming and others because of his fun and cruelty. There was also Jin Xiaowu Emperor Sima Yao who was suffocated to death by a palace maid using a quilt, and Ming Emperor Jiajing who was almost strangled to death by a palace maid...
The emperor only has one head and is not a real dragon. If he is unpopular, he may be tortured to death.
Although there is only one less successful case in the history of the Ming Dynasty, who can guarantee that there are not many people with dark psychology around them, who were punished by Taizu and put the accounts on their own heads?
