Chapter 696: All changes to the law begin with the constitution


"Xuan Railway worker Yu Zhongming enters the hall!"

And when the inner attendant read the name of the first person who was summoned by Zhu Youxiao who was considered to be excellent in the exam, Geng Yuyuan suddenly looked horrified.He didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would be Yu Zhongming first.He clearly remembered that Yu Zhongming only wrote a few words on the answer sheet, and the handwriting was very poor, and he could only say that he could recognize it.Therefore, he didn't understand why the emperor chose Yu Zhongming.Yu Zhongming, who was born as a worker, did not expect that he would be summoned by the emperor.He himself was also confused, and said in his heart: "Did you do well in the exam?"

”Yu Zhongming didn't dare to slack off, and was busy entering the Fengtian Gate under the leadership of the inner servant.Geng Yuyuan glanced at Yu Zhongming, who had entered Fengtianmen, with resentment, he didn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor didn't choose himself first, but chose a worker who seemed to have a rusty smell on his body."

Xuandaxing County farmer Cen Dahe enters the hall!"

And then, when Geng Yuyuan heard the second name to be summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, he found that this second name was not himself!

This made Geng Yuyuan even more puzzled."

Xuanjiangsu private small weaving workshop owner Wang enters the hall!"

When the third name was pronounced, Geng Yuyuan was even more surprised, and only then did he realize that there were still women among the people who had entered the capital.But what Geng Yuyuan didn't understand was why he was inferior to workers, farmers, and small merchants.He didn't know where he had lost.Geng Yuyuan was very disappointed.He couldn't help but wonder, do these so-called people really have skills that they don't know when answering questions?

Geng Yuyuan didn't know how long he had waited.It wasn't until the end that he heard his name."

Xuanjiangsu raised people to enter the palace in the wall!"

Geng Yuyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, and said in his heart: "Your Majesty didn't choose yourself until now, where did you lose?"

”After Geng Yuyuan entered the hall, he found that there were more than 200 people in the hall.And there were workers in uniforms, farmers in shorts, scholars like him, and even women.Of course, some workers and peasant households wore such rudimentary clothing as overalls and shorts, not because they were poor, but because they were frugal.Zhu Youxiao naturally had his own considerations in choosing these people to enter the hall.The more than 200 people are people from different walks of life in different provinces, and they are all people who can express themselves during the examination, and have some independent thinking about society and the country.What Zhu Youxiao has to do is to use these people to unify the concept of governing the country that he and his ministers now uphold throughout the country and turn it into an unshakable principle of governance, that is, the constitution of the country.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao also said: "I chose you for one thing, and this matter is whether the court wants to change the law or not!"

”Geng Yuyuan was quite surprised when he heard this, and raised his head suddenly.He really didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to suddenly mention this, and his own people were selected into the main hall for this matter!

You must know that as a large number of people entered Beijing and overwhelmed their team of changing the law, he never thought about it, and he knew that the emperor did this to unite the people to make them die of the heart of changing the law.Zhu Youxiao also noticed Geng Yuyuan, who suddenly raised his head, so he glanced at him and said, "I know that some people have been thinking about changing the law in the imperial court for a long time, even to the point where they are excited when they hear the word 'change the law'!"

Can the variable method really achieve the purpose you want?

Not necessarily!

”"Now let's talk about it, do you think the court should change the law?"

Then, Zhu Youxiao raised his hand and ordered.Geng Yuyuan couldn't wait to stand up: "Back to Your Majesty, the student thinks that the imperial court should be contingency!"

Although the students do not know whether this situation is a last resort, the students believe that if the law is not changed to restrain the court from such unrestrained behavior, then once there is a faint monarch in the future, it may drag down the society!

In addition, the local government is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court so wide that the local government cannot adapt measures to local conditions, so that the government only knows how to meet the situation and does not know what to do, so it often leads the bureaucrats to impose harsh policies in order to curry favor with their superiors and ignore the people's feelings!

”"Students don't think they should change the law!"

Lu Sheng, a scholar from Shuzhong, stood up at this time and directly confronted Geng Yuyuan: "First of all, there are not many redundant officials in the world, but they have turned the positions that were originally officials into official positions, and the white servants of the yamen, who were originally not established, have become officials, and the officials and staff have become serious officials.

"In addition, the matter of redundant troops, this is because our country is so vast that even if only ten soldiers are needed to maintain law and order in each township, the whole country will have to be in the millions!""

Needless to say, redundant labor is just to turn the displaced people who were forced to become slaves of large households because of landlessness into craftsmen, although the imperial court has a lot of costs for raising officials, raising the army and supporting workers, but it also reduces the cost of suppressing bandits and rebellion, as for the excessive conquest, as for restricting the monarch's power and increasing local autonomy, although it does have the benefit of preventing the emperor from disorderly government and curbing the bureaucracy from harming the people, there is also the possibility that the court will be controlled by the rentiers and the local government will become a feudal town and betray the central government!""

Since ancient times, there has been no perfection in the system of the world, and for me, now is not the time to change, but there is no need to change.At this time, Zhu Youxiao asked the workers and peasants in the main hall: "What about the others?"

”Yu Zhongming replied at this time: "Back to the emperor, we don't know whether to change the law, anyway, I only know that life is very good now, my wife and children are hot on the kang, and we can eat meat every once in a while." ”"Yes, it can't be changed, it's okay not to change, but just don't make our days worse!"

Farmer Cen Dahe replied with a smile at this time."

That's it!

It's okay to stay the same, but don't get worse!

”Everyone else chimed in.Geng Yuyuan was quite annoyed, he really didn't understand the matter of changing the law and not changing the law, why did the emperor ask these ordinary people who were not sensitive to political affairs.Geng Yuyuan replied at this time: "Your Majesty, the people don't worry about the long-term, but in the opinion of the students, for the long-term, it is better to contingency." ”"If you want to change the law, you can also say that the rules are all set, so you don't have to fight like this all the time, and cause chaos, the women and children of the people, the knowledge is shallow, please forgive your majesty!"

Wang, the wife of official Chen Qu, spoke at this time.Lu Sheng also echoed at this time: "The student thinks that the Wang's view is not shallow, since some people are clamoring to change the law, it is better to set some rules and set them into the national constitution, so as to save the future treacherous people from instigating the kings of later generations to change the law, so that the people's lives will become worse, and they will not follow the national constitution to change!"

Even deviate from the constitution to change!

”"It is better to take advantage of the fact that you are still alive, and set down the constitution of the country, and make unconstitutional rules, if you violate the constitution, you will violate such a law, so that even if the king of the future generations is confused by some people, and when he wants to change the law, he will not dare to disobey the charter too much!

And so that the community can be more stable for a longer time!

”"This classmate!

Who do you say is a treacherous villain, are all those who advocate changing the law really villains?!

”Geng Yuyuan couldn't help but scold Lu Sheng at this time."

That's it!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted at this time, and said, "Don't quarrel yet, you will quarrel later." ”Saying that, Zhu Youxiao said: "What the Wang family and Lu Sheng said is very good, and it is indeed my intention, and all changes to the law will start with this constitution!"
