There was no news about it beforehand.
Even Xu Youzhen was unsure and couldn't understand.
Even if I have some ideas, I don't dare to say them casually in front of Zhan Yang at this time.
However, Xu Youzhen can be sure that something big will happen to the Ming Dynasty...
This is inevitable.
Zhan Yang looked at Xu Youzhen and said: "Censor of Xudu, should we go and see if His Majesty is gone? If he is gone, you might as well go to Li Shoufu to check his tone, so that you won't be passive."
Listening to Zhan Yang's words, Xu Youzhen smiled bitterly and said: "If I go to find Li Xian, he won't tell me. Then I will be really passive. Forget it, just take it step by step. Nothing will happen." question."
"That's not right, Censor of Xudu, didn't you say that Li Shoufu owes you a huge favor because of the incident involving Duke Yan of Qufu? If you ask him something, wouldn't this favor be returned to you?"
Xu Youzhen smiled bitterly after listening to Zhan Yang's words.
Shilang Zhan is so silly and cute.
Xu Youzhen knew in her heart that even if she lowered her face and talked about Qufu and went to find Li Xian, he would not tell her what happened.
And if the emperor really wants to make some real moves and make some changes.
After the meeting tomorrow, I will definitely be summoned...
There is no need to let yourself hesitate back and forth at night.
………………
At this time, Zhu Jianshen was sitting in the carriage, closing his eyes and relaxing.
His mind was filled with his conversation with Li Xian...
Li Xian said: The teachings of the sages are the foundation of governing the country, but there are many people who say what the sages say and do what they mean.
The law is the foundation of a country. If the law is unfair, it will break the trust of the people, and if it is unfair, morality will be damaged.
Equality comes from justice, and justice comes from Tao. If virtue is lost, there is no justice, no justice, and no justice.
Only strict laws, punishments and warnings can reduce many injustices.
At the end, Li Xian actually proposed to restart the strict laws of Emperor Taizu Gao's period to warn all officials.
What Li Xian wanted to convey to the emperor was that in the past, the law had to consider human relationships and the moral standards of officials. There were so many things to consider, and even perfect laws were no longer fair.
You can only use the commandments to make the officials fearful.
Only when you feel fear do you dare not bend the law for personal gain, sell favors, or take bribes.
After Zhu Jianshen listened to Li Xian's words, he was still a little worried at first.
Emperor Taizu Gao's strict laws were based on his prestige in the country and the supreme power in his hands that did not allow others to interfere with it.
But Zhu Jianshen himself is an emperor who has been inherited from his family, so it is difficult for him to reach that height. If he wants to follow this kind of law, he will definitely encounter a lot of obstacles.
First of all, the center must have a group of capable ministers who can shoulder the blame and unite closely with the emperor. But then again, these ministers also have relatives, disciples, and old officials...
If they really knew that their family members or their students had violated national laws, would they also be likely to engage in favoritism?
After Li Xian saw the emperor's hesitation, he immediately took the initiative to take charge of the matter.
He joined the officials to report.
Then, he took the initiative to take charge of the Ministry of Punishment and began to compile the new Ming Dynasty Law based on Taizu's old system. Later, he expressed his position more than once that he was willing to devote all his energy for the rest of his life to this matter.
Li Xian's final statement did make Zhu Jianshen's heart move for a moment, but he was only moved for a moment and did not immediately agree to Li Xian or reply to Li Xian. The matter was serious and he had to think more about it.
In fact, at this time, Zhu Jianshen was not afraid that he would not be able to control the situation, but was considering using harsh means to warn officials and how effective it would be.
It may have a certain effect in a short period of time, but over time, officials' vigilance will gradually decrease.
Not to mention that everyone has survivorship bias.
He was corrupt, he was caught and died because he was stupid. If it were me, I would never fail. Ori...
The Ming Dynasty was vast and there were so many officials. It was simply impossible to truly conduct self-examination and self-clarification.
Even if we follow what Li Xian said and the Ming Dynasty re-adopted strict laws to punish officials, its essence has not changed. It still allows bureaucrats to collectively check their own people, trade favors, and help each other. This is still A normalized thing.
Zhu Jianshen had also considered this matter before.
In the past, what Zhu Jianshen wanted to do was to expand the power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei to achieve absolute control over the country.
He himself wants to rely on the secret service and a third party to supervise officials.
In fact, Menda is doing this kind of thing now, but he is doing it secretly and without notifying the court officials.
But the difficulty of facing backlash is even more difficult than enforcing strict laws, so Zhu Jianshen has been waiting for a suitable opportunity.
And Li Xian's ten memorials were an excuse for him to wait for a long time.
He still needs to think a lot and coordinate a lot with the courtiers and factory guards to move the matter of expanding the factory guards from the secret to the public.
When the time comes, only by cooperating with the court's laws can they complement each other.
Zhu Jianshen knew that he had a long way to go. Of course, he also knew that when manpower is exhausted, it is almost impossible to build a paradise-like country.
But even if you know that something can't be done, you still have to work hard in that direction. Even if you can't clear the haze in the entire world, you still want the majority of people to get fairness and justice...
After returning to the palace, Zhu Jianshen started his first journey of insomnia...
For so many years, Zhu Jianshen's sleep state has always been very good. Except for staying up all night for men and women, he never stayed up all night again.
But this time I closed my eyes and couldn't fall asleep.
After half of the envoys lay on the dragon bed, Zhu Jianshen still couldn't sleep. Then he sat up and shouted outside: "Here comes someone."
Zhang Bao walked in: "Your Majesty..."
"Zhang Daban, let Zhao Xuan come to see me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Bao said, turning to leave.
Zhu Jianshen continued to speak: "Zhang Daban, you are getting older. From now on, you should leave the vigil matters to others and rest early."
Zhang Bao always made sure that Zhu Jianshen fell asleep before going back to rest, and then came to Qianqing Palace early in the morning.
Zhang Bao has been like this for so many years.
Hearing His Majesty's words of concern, Zhang Bao was moved in his heart, but he still said: "Your Majesty, it is my blessing that this servant is waiting for Your Majesty. I cannot serve Your Majesty for more than a few years. I beg Your Majesty, please let this slave start and end."
After Zhu Jianshen paused for a moment, he nodded.
Seeing His Majesty the Emperor nodding, Zhang Bao breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and left to send someone to call Zhao Linlang...
At this time, Zhao Linlang had already fallen asleep.
But after hearing the emperor's summons, he immediately became energetic and didn't have any energy to get up. At that moment, he quickly got up, packed up and went to Qianqing Palace...
