However, Zhu Youxiao's next sentence broke his fantasy: "The law governing the imperial power should become a reality in twenty or thirty years.
I must first transform the Ming Dynasty according to my wishes.
After the transformation is completed, it will not be too late to implement it." ” Although it is impossible to see the imperial power being restricted in his lifetime, at least there is still hope.
The current emperor is indeed smart, pragmatic, and much stronger than his grandfather.
Under the rule of such an emperor, everyone is living a good life.
The power of civil servants is gradually increasing.
If this continues, the country will eventually rule.
Power fell into the hands of civil servants.
In fact, the reason why civil servants want to restrict imperial power is of course because they want power, but more importantly, because emperors can be both wise and foolish.
If an unreliable emperor abuses his power, the loss to the country will be great. .
Now that the emperor can listen to the opinions of his ministers and has a set of views on all aspects of the country that seem to be valid now, the demand to limit imperial power is not so urgent.
The emperor's speech at the law school was published in the weekly newspaper.
At the request of Ye Xianggao and others, the paragraph indicating that the emperor also had to be tried by law was deleted.
Even so, it caused widespread controversy.
There is no controversy about equality before the law, but many people wrote letters to express their different views on the other three aspects.
The most common ones are that the legal principles are nothing more than human feelings and that the law should not be cold, but should have a certain degree of flexibility.
There are also many people who believe that bad people should be sentenced harshly and good people should be sentenced lightly.
So Mr.
Xiao Qi wrote another letter from a reader.
In the letter, he believed that the so-called legal principles are nothing more than human relationships.
We must first understand that this human relationship should be a human relationship that pursues fairness and justice, and a human relationship that offers mercy or forgiveness.
Moreover, this favor can only play a role in the final sentencing and should not be used in determining guilt or innocence.
He gave an example of an official who committed corruption.
His family situation was not very good, with an old mother and a weak son.
Then his family conditions cannot be used as a basis for sentencing, and he should be sentenced as he should.
This is what it means for the law to be rigid.
But if this official is sentenced to exile, then appropriate consideration can be given to allowing him to be exiled closer to his family to facilitate family visits.
This is that legal principles are nothing more than human feelings.
As for the flexibility of the law, he believes that this is absolutely impossible, because if the law is flexible, where should the flexibility be?
To whom should it be flexible?
With flexibility, officials at all levels will have the opportunity to exercise their power, and perhaps the same If two officials decide a case, the two judgments will be very different due to different flexibility.
In this case, what dignity does the law have?
Isn't it just like a joke?
Moreover, this will also lead to a lot of corruption.
Finally, he emphasized that the law punishes things, not people, and law and morality are not the same thing.
Good people and bad people in daily life are the moral standards, and morality cannot be used to replace the law.
The law is the bottom line of morality, and the requirements of morality are higher than the law.
Mr.
Xiao Qi has become a well-known and influential figure because he often publishes letters from readers in weekly newspapers.
After his letter was published, many people began to think carefully and understand the meaning of his words.
Many people wrote to express their enlightenment after reading Mr.
Xiao Qi's letter.
Zhu Youxiao also knows that it is difficult to change some people's thoughts, and maybe they will never be changed.
But this is the Ming Dynasty, not later generations.
Scholars are still willing to think independently.

What you say makes sense, and they will be convinced.
At least they will not be like later generations, who simply say "I think what is good and what is good" What’s bad?”
You don’t even need to give a reason.
At this time, the situation in Liaodong has reached its most critical moment.
In the winter of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Nurhaci sent an envoy again, with the original conditions: retreat beyond the border wall, give up Liaoshen, declare himself a vassal and pay tribute, and only hoped that the court would give him a certain amount of rice.
This time, a condition was added, which was to disband the army as soon as they left the border wall.
He also stated that because Nurhachi was seriously ill, he would not have much time to live, and hoped that his body could be handed over to the Ming Dynasty after his death.
These words were so miserable that some ministers couldn't bear it.
Zhu Youxiao summoned Huang Taiji and handed him Jianzhou's letter asking for surrender.
After seeing this, Huang Taiji burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty governs the country with filial piety.
The guilty minister hopes that the Holy One can give the guilty minister a chance to fulfill his filial piety in front of his father Khan.
After his father Khan dies, the guilty minister will take his father Khan's body and commit suicide.
Come forward."
A minister came forward and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that this matter is okay.
Anyway, Jiannu has no way to overturn the situation.
Let him go back.
This shows that our Ming Dynasty treats the barbarians well.
If they have even the slightest intention of repaying their kindness, they will gather the whole army." drop."
Zhu Youxiao looked over and saw that it was Cao Yubian, the right servant of the Ministry of Personnel.
I thought to myself, are some people in the Donglin Party stupid or foolish?
They were moved by such a simple method, but I have never seen you be so kind to the people in the country.
He said nothing, just glanced at him, and then looked at Ye Xianggao.
Ye Xianggao cursed his mother in his heart, but this time it was Cao Yubian.
Did you really eat shit?
You are speaking for Jiannu at this time.
He stepped out and reprimanded: "The barbarians are afraid of power but not moral, and they are cunning and untrustworthy.
Huang Taiji is the slave of the Four Great Belles.
Letting him go now is letting the tiger return to the mountain.
You want us to sacrifice More comrades?
Woman, where are the sages and books you read?
There are many pitiful people in the world.
Think about the grainless people who were killed by slaves for no reason.
Those people are really pitiful and unhappy.
Get out of here."
Huang Taiji laughed miserably and said: "The guilty minister has been captured for a long time.
Even if he goes back, he will never have the opportunity to lead the army.
Besides, the guilty minister has always read the books of sages, and he has been in the capital for many days, influenced by the saints and other eminent sages.
If you have the heart to surrender, how can you resist when you go back?"
Sun Chuanting smiled and said: "Even if you tell the truth, we can't let you go back.
This is not a matter of human relations.
If the slave chief is dead and you go to the funeral, we can discuss it."
These words were said viciously, but Huang Taiji's expression remained as usual.
I thought to myself, if my father is really dead and you have a new excuse, it would be strange to let me go back then.
But if they are really willing to let me go back, how should I rectify Jianzhou?
Yue Tuo should listen to me, Daishan can be fought for, Mang Gurtai is a reckless man, and Amin is a bit difficult to deal with, then Just join forces with Daishan and Mang Gurtai to deal with Amin.

Then reuse the Han people to compete with the Ming Dynasty.
Although they don't want to replace the Ming Dynasty, there should be no problem in occupying the land in Liaodong
