Chapter 129: Taizu Teaches His Sun


Xu Zengshou told Yang Xu everything from beginning to end, although in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but still deliberately described how angry Yang Xu was at that time, and the scene of slaughtering all the chickens and dogs.

Abandoning the spiritual position of the deceased mother, letting the chickens and ducks defile it, it is really bearable to kill well, even if it is not too much to kill, only kill a group of chickens and dogs, he Yang clan is embarrassed to file a lawsuit, it is really stubborn and unteachable."

Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent, just glanced at his grandson, and asked slowly: "Grandson thinks that this Yang Xu deserves it."

"Deserve it, you deserve it" Zhu Yunwen said in a loud voice: "Filial piety is the first of benevolence and righteousness, the first of all kinds, since ancient times, filial piety and filial piety killed people in order to avenge their grandparents and parents, and the court forgave them for this reason."

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the imperial court has ruled the world with filial piety, respecting the sky, filial piety to ancestors, respecting virtue, and protecting the people, so that the people can abide by the way of monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, and elders and children: filial piety to parents at home, and love to relatives; Respect the old outside, select the meritocracy; In the court, they are loyal to the king and serve the country."

Zhu Yunwen is not pretending, just to please the emperor's grandfather.

He has been educated by Confucianism since childhood, and he does attach great importance to filial piety, although there is a little element of showmanship, because he can compete for the right to inherit the throne because of his filial piety.

It stands to reason that Zhu Yunwen is not the grandson of the son-in-law, but the eldest grandson of the son-in-law, so he was not the first heir in line.

The crown prince Zhu Biao gave birth to a total of five sons, and the crown princess was the eldest daughter of Zheng Guogong Chang Yuchun.

This Chang family gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Zhu Xiongying, who died early at the age of eight, and the second son Zhu Yunxi, who is the eldest son and second grandson, the first heir in line.

According to the traditional etiquette system, the order of heirs is the eldest son, the eldest grandson, the second grandson, the second grandson, so the real heir in the order of legal throne, Zhu Yunxi should be ranked in front of his second brother Zhu Yunwen.

But Zhu Yunxi was too young at the time, his talent was limited, and his performance was too mediocre, and Zhu Yuanzhang himself was already an old man in his sixties at that time, so he couldn't help but consider the problem of the main Shaoguo's suspicion.

Besides, Zhu Yunxi's own grandfather is Chang Yuchun, his uncle and grandfather are Lan Yu, Zheng Guogong Chang Mao is his eldest uncle, and the founding father Chang Sheng is his second uncle.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen, a filial grandson who was grief-stricken and showed a strange appearance when Zhu Biao passed away, entered the sight of this twilight old man.

's father died, of course Zhu Yunwen was sad, but he made it stand upright, and he was almost out of breath if he didn't eat, which was a bit too filial piety.

Zhu Biao is the crown prince, the state affairs are very busy, and he is not only a son, he is also a concubine, to say how long Zhu Biao and him have been together, how deep the relationship is, so that his father died, he can't wait to follow the underground, it is a bit nonsense.

If you really want to say kiss, he is closer to the emperor's grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, the grandfather and grandson spend the most time together, Zhu Yuanzhang is very kind and amiable to him, and after Zhu Yuanzhang died, he did not grieve like this.

He buried Zhu Yuanzhang, wiped his tears, rolled up his sleeves and began to clean up his uncle, the first unlucky King Zhou was taken down by Zhu Yunwen just after he ascended the throne for a month, which shows how busy he is, how can he have spare time and grief.

In fact, if you are an ordinary person, you are doing a funeral at home, and you are already sad, do you want to show more mourning, so as not to gossip about others, this is human nature, and there is no need to be particularly harsh on Zhu Yunwen, saying how hypocritical he is, especially since he was a child, this is strictly in accordance with the ancient rites of mourning, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But on the other hand, if you have to lift up his behavior to the heavens and say that he is benevolent and filial, it is to go to the other extreme.

Zhu Yunxi performed so prominently at his father's funeral, including his master Huang Zicheng's guidance, Huang Zicheng saw Zhu Yuanzhang's mind very clearly, the second grandson Zhu Yunxi himself was mediocre and incompetent, and his mother's uncle's family was too capable, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always protected food, will inevitably take into account the problem of the dictatorship of his relatives, and the possibility of Zhu Yunxi's succession is not great.

But Zhu Yunwen is not a grandson, shouldn't the throne be passed to Zhu Yuanzhang's second son, King Qin, but not, because the crown princess Chang died in the year she gave birth to Zhu Yunxi, and since then, the prince's east palace has been in charge of Zhu Yunwen's biological mother Lu.

She is the de facto step-princess, so her son can also be regarded as a grandson.

Although there was no legal procedure, the crown prince's east palace has been suspended, and the Lu family was not officially canonized as the crown princess, so that Zhu Yunwen still had to call Chang his mother-in-law after he was called the emperor, and posthumously respected Chang as Empress Xiaokang, not his own biological mother, but after all, from the perspective of science and etiquette, this still makes sense.

It is precisely because Zhu Yunwen mainly relied on filial piety to gain Zhu Yuanzhang's favor that it is inevitable that he will pay special attention to his performance in this regard.

Zhu Yunwen listened to what Xu Zengshou said, and was indeed very angry, at the same time, because of his lack of self-confidence, he was always strongly wary of his uncles, suspecting that they coveted his throne.

After Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, he thought that he would get his grandfather's approval, so he secretly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, but saw him lying on his back on the pillow, his eyes slightly closed, but he seemed to have fallen asleep, so he hurriedly closed his voice and stood next to him.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes, looked at his grandson, and then at Xu Zengshou, and said with a slight smile: "Well, what Sun Er said is reasonable, this matter is just a small grievance in a small family, but in a big way, this is related to filial piety and law, justice and strictness, and I can't neglect it." ” He signaled, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly helped him up again, and put the pillow behind his back, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Zengshou, you tell a good story." ” Xu Zengshou felt a sudden shock in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "It's just that it happened at the right time, and he was asked by the emperor again, so the minister mentioned it slightly." ” Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, and did not break his intentions, but said: "I am revising the law of the Ming Dynasty, when I was the king of Wu, I drafted a new law, and Hongwu began to revise the profit and loss in the sixth year, which lasted sixteen years, and it was compiled in the twenty-second year of Hongwu.

But after all, there are still omissions, which are not perfect.

Ruling the world is the first priority.

Or it is said that there is courtesy and pleasure without criminal politics, and the two of them are only supplemented by etiquette and music to cure the ears.

If the government is punished in vain, although there is a majestic government, there will be no wind of peace.

Therefore, the ointment of the people of the people is the ointment of the people of the rituals, and the medicine stone of the criminal politicians to save the evils.

Etiquette is the way, the law is the art, the law is in its form, but it should not be careless, so Zhao Chenfeng and others are reconstructing the Da Ming Law and the Great Edict, taking its essentials, recording the cases, and attaching them to the Da Ming Law, so that the officials of the world can judge according to the example of atonement.

Zengshou, this case is very good, you go to Ying Tianfu and tell Wang Hongrui that you want him to think carefully, think more, and deal with it so that he can be judged.

Then tell the Criminal Department, tell the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to pay attention to the case before and after, the trial results, once the case is clear, it can be compiled into a book, and it will be published in China and abroad in the future, and where there are similar cases, the world will know and abide by them. ” Xu Zengshou listened and said secretly: "Obediently knock, such a case was originally just a matter of Jiangning County's order, and the lawsuit was already very big when it reached Yingtianfu, and now it is necessary to add the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, as for making this surname?"

Xu Zengshou hurriedly agreed, and then plucked up the courage to ask: "Your Majesty, if Tianfu asks about the meaning of the saint, how should the minister answer?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly: "Yun Wei is the prince of the country, what he means is what I mean." ” Xu Zengshou was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Yes, the minister knows, the minister will go to pass on the message of the saint, and the minister will retire."

After Xu Zengshou went out, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Yun Weina" Zhu Yunwen hurriedly bowed and said, "My grandson is here." ” Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "There is no trivial matter among the people, and there is no trivial matter for the emperor, every word and deed is an example in the world."

King Yan Zhao bought bones with a lot of money, Zhao Taizu didn't eat at night, did King Yan Zhao really cherish the bones of a thousand-mile horse Zhao Taizu really skimped on a supper, otherwise, just because the emperor's every move was related to the fortune of the country, so he had to be cautious. ” Zhu Yunwen didn't understand the intention of his grandfather's teachings, and responded a little blankly.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him, sighed, and pointed out: "You are the prince of the country, and you will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future. ” He let out a long sigh and said, "People often say that knowing mistakes can be corrected, and good is great.

However, it is easy to say, as an emperor, how can you make a mistake rashly, and once you make a mistake, how can you easily change it, so you can only be cautious, and listen to it clearly."

Only then did Zhu Yunwen understand a little, and hesitated: "Grandfather Huang, you are saying that what Xu Zengshou said is not true."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Lie to you, that's not necessarily, maybe he is telling the truth, whether it is detailed or not, you shouldn't be so rash." ” Zhu Yunwen blushed and said: "Sun Er knows, then it is better to recover his life, this matter is still better for Yousi to investigate in detail, otherwise it will really be done according to Sun Er's will in Tianfu, in case that Yang Xu is the one who is domineering and insulting his relatives."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Then what's the matter, compared to the prestige of the prince of the dynasty, a family with a surname has a little gain or loss, what is it, is it possible that my grandson's words are not worth nine cows?"

Zhu Yunwen felt his grandfather's care and maintenance, and couldn't help but be emotional, his eyes were red, and he called in a low voice: "Imperial grandfather" Zhu Yuanzhang patted his hand and said, "I rebuilt the Da Ming Law this time, in fact, it is also for you."

In the past, the criminal laws in the great edicts were too harsh, and if the laws were too heavy, the punishments would inevitably be proliferated, and if the administration of officials was too strict, the administration would inevitably be harsh.

Those who restrain the people will be many; Under the constraints, the people will be at a loss.

When I ruled the world, just to clean up the troubled world, and when the upstart was numerous, the lawless people were numerous, so the punishment had to be heavy, and now the punishment of corrupt officials and corrupt officials has been effective, the world is stable, you rule the world, the punishment should be light, the so-called punishment is light in the world, that is, for this reason.

Regarding the re-establishment of the Great Ming Law, you can pay attention to it. ” Zhu Yunwen hurriedly responded: "Yes, my grandson wrote it down." ” Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head and said: "Well, you stand down, I'm a little tired, rest for a while." ” "Grandson obeys" Zhu Yunwen stood up, tucked the quilt corner for Zhu Yuanzhang, tiptoed out of the hall, just out of the palace door, as soon as he turned around, he saw Huang Zicheng with two official hats on his head and wings shaking, and his footsteps came in a hurry, Zhu Yunwen was a little surprised to greet him, and called: "Sir, why are you in such a hurry?"
