    Ignoring the two people who came in, Emperor Tianqi still flipped through the book in his hand unhurriedly, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes with an indifferent expression.  Yuan Keli and Dang Han looked at each other, their expressions a little ugly. One was that the Jin Yiwei, whose life was like a piece of grass, also looked a little nervous in front of this royal imperial edict.  Yuan Keli, who was standing aside, had a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead. This royal imperial edict was not something to be used lightly.  According to Emperor Tianqi's past rules of conduct, this imperial imperial edict is likely to be used this time.  Yuan Keli has studied the imperial decree in detail. The imperial decree was a special criminal law during the reign of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, which was independent of the Ming law.  In order to deal more severely with crimes, especially crimes committed by officials, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang compiled the cases he personally tried, and added his remarks on the cases, into a special criminal law that instructs the people all over the world to strictly abide by.  The imperial edict was the most widespread law in the Ming Dynasty, and basically every family had to have one.  Moreover, the contents of the "Ming Dynasty Imperial Examination" will be covered in the imperial examination.  In the late reign of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, he believed that the country's governance had been very effective, so he incorporated many of the contents of the imperial edict into other laws and regulations, and also abolished the extrajudicial torture that had been used.  Watching Emperor Tianqi turn over the royal imperial edict, Yuan Keli felt a cold breeze running down his back, and his body seemed to be shaking.  Closing the book in his hand, Emperor Tianqi lifted it up and walked away. He looked at the two people with a smile and said in a gentle tone: "You two dears, please sit down!" When the two people sat down, Emperor Tianqi continued: "  Yuan Aiqing seems to be in poor health. Would you like a doctor to take a look at it? " "My lord, I'm a little older, but I'm still in good health. It's hard to stand for a long time!"  Yuan Keli bowed respectfully to Emperor Tianqi and said with gratitude.  Emperor Tianqi nodded with a smile, put his hand on the book on his side, and said with a smile: "I have ascended the throne as a young man, and I am not familiar with the world. I never dare to forget the hardships of Taizu's entrepreneurship. Every day, Taizu personally controls the imperial edicts.  Keep it with you and never forget it. Study it every day and hope that you can achieve one-tenth of the standard of Taizu. " Originally, both Yuan Keli and Dang Han should have been happy when they heard that the emperor was working hard to govern.  Patting the horses.  But when Emperor Tianqi patted the royal imperial edict, the two of them not only did not laugh, but almost cried.  Both of them knew very well that the punishment under the imperial imperial edict was more severe than that under the Ming law.  Moreover, its effectiveness is greater than that of the Ming Dynasty. Da Gao used a lot of extrajudicial torture, such as cutting off hands, castrating into slaves, etc. It can be said that it was extremely cruel.  Compared with the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the laws and regulations of previous dynasties, the imperial imperial edicts are different, citing various cases of using torture to punish officials and people.  Publicly affirm the necessity and rationality of extra-legal punishment.  The imperial imperial edict listed thousands of cases of clan execution, lingchi, and beheading, and more than 10,000 cases of crimes such as beheading and abandoning the city. The types of torture include clan execution, lingchi, beheading, beheading, capital punishment, ink-face tattooing, and tendon picking.  There are dozens of methods including fingering, removing tendons and removing knees, amputating hands, beheading toes, cutting off feet, shackles, constant shackles, traveling with shackles, heavy punishment, relocation, banishment, castration into slavery, etc.  For the same crime, the imperial edict and the Ming law were greatly aggravated, and many of them should only be punished with flogging or cane according to the Ming law.  The royal imperial edict increased the punishment to death.  There were many crimes that were not included in the Ming Law. The famous ones were "forbidden to travel and eat", "citizens are not allowed to serve as officials", "officials are strictly prohibited from going to the countryside", "citizens are harmful to civilian officials", "officials in the country are not allowed to serve".  For your use" etc.  Emphasis is placed on governing officials with strict rules and regulations.  If it is because of the strictness of the royal imperial edict.  It's not like Yuan Keli and Dang Han are like now.  There may be mistakes, and there may be admonitions, but I will never be afraid of being like this.  Because there is a very special thing about Yuzhi Dagao, which is the group of people it is applicable to. This fact made all the civil and military officials in the dynasty shudder.  Generally speaking, the imperial edict's attack targets all officials and people, but the focus is on punishing corrupt officials. More than 80% of its clauses are related to governing officials.  If Emperor Tianqi is really determined to use the imperial imperial edict, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will immediately be enveloped in a bloody storm.  Although they have not seen it in person, they all know that Zhu Yuanzhang killed tens of thousands of people in a corruption case!  Swallowing hard, Yuan Keli felt that his throat was a little dry, so he picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip, then quickly put it down.  I wanted to open my mouth to say something several times, but nothing came out.  Civil officials always like to say that the laws of our ancestors cannot be ignored lightly. What should I say?  If Emperor Tianqi takes out the royal imperial edict, how should he object?  Although Yuan Keli is loyal, he really feels that it is inappropriate to control the imperial edict. A very simple point is that it stipulates that any official who uses power for personal gain or colludes with businessmen will be skinned and filled.?.  At this time, if the imperial edict is followed, all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will be stripped of their skins and stuffed with grass for this one article alone.  "My dear, I have great trust in my beloved. Even since I took the throne, I have never punished anyone for being forbidden to speak. There are only three monarchs and ministers in the room today. If you have anything to say to your beloved, it doesn't matter!" Emperor Tianqi saw Yuan Keli's look.  , gently stroking the books on the table and saying with a smile.  With a sudden heart, Yuan Keli wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, saying in a firm voice: "Your Majesty has shown kindness to me, and I should repay you as a national scholar. My words may offend Your Majesty."  , But I have to speak.¡± Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice, ¡°Ai Qing, tell me!¡± ¡°Your Majesty, Taizu worked hard to compile the royal decree.  The rules for trial are very detailed, Emperor Taizu is wise and powerful, and this imperial edict is excellent." Yuan Keli knelt there respectfully and said.  Dang Han on the side was stunned, what are you talking about?  Don't you want to give me advice?  Why did you take a picture of the horse?  If these words were said outside, Yuan Keli would probably be scolded to death by the ministers.  Emperor Tianqi did not speak. This method of promoting first and suppressing later is not new. I am afraid that it will be a failure next.  "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu drove the Meng Yuan in the north and conquered the barbarians in the south. His achievements are everlasting, even the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty are not as good as him! The imperial imperial edict was formulated at the time of Emperor Taizu. As the saying goes, in troubled times, heavy edicts should be used. Imperial imperial edicts should be used in troubled times.  Da Gao is of course perfect. The reason why Qin was able to dominate the world was because of its strict laws." When Yuan Keli said this, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Tianqi. He was also afraid!  In the Ming Dynasty, there was talk of annihilating ten clans!  Slowly standing up, Emperor Tianqi walked to the window, stretched out his hand to open the window, took a deep breath, turned back and said to the two people: "If you don't open the window, the room always feels a little depressing." Yuan Keli and Dang Han were stunned.  , looked at each other, no one knew what Emperor Tianqi meant?  Leaning against the window, Emperor Tianqi looked at Yuan Keli with a smile and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Aiqing, you don't have to hesitate. I'll finish what you haven't finished. Qin Li died here two generations ago.  The strict laws and regulations did not allow the people to rest and recuperate. The royal imperial edict was too harsh, and it was okay to use it during the founding of the country. If it was used in later generations, it would probably lead to the same mistake as the Qin Dynasty. " Listening to Emperor Tianqi's indifferent tone, Yuan Keli's body was silent.  He started to tremble, fell to his knees, and said loudly: "I deserve to die!" He waved his hands gently, and Emperor Tianqi said in a brisk tone: "Get up! I said I won't blame you, Tang Taizong  With Wei Zheng, I can naturally accommodate Yuan Keli. " "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Keli stood up gratefully and stood aside respectfully.  After pondering for a long time, Emperor Tianqi said again: "Du Mu has a poem that says: The people of Qin have no time to mourn themselves, and future generations will mourn for them, and future generations will mourn without taking note of them, which will also make future generations mourn for future generations again! I think this sentence means a lot.  Very good, the Qin Dynasty is indeed worth learning from, but we must understand the essence, rather than blindly pursue the faults of harsh governance!" Seeing Emperor Tianqi say this, Yuan Keli stood aside, his face turned red, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't.  You can tell.  Gently waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi did not look at Yuan Keli, turned around and continued: "Emperor Taizu has been in power for many years and has been using imperial imperial edicts, but no one has died in the Qin Dynasty.  Do you know why? " Both of them lowered their heads, and no one said anything. This was not nonsense. Emperor Tianqi just said it, but they didn't dare to speak.  "That's because the original intention of the formulation was different. The Qin Dynasty's harsh rule may be for the purpose of building the Great Wall, which can be said to be a good thing, but it increased the burden on the people and made them miserable. Taizu's imperial edict was  Aiming at officials, they must not be rampant or corrupt, and the people will only get benefits. Since Emperor Taizu, the country has treated scholars more and more favorably, but don't forget that things must turn against each other." Emperor Tianqi looked back at Yuan Keli with a look in his eyes.  Sue, said with a serious voice.  Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The officialdom is corrupt, and most of the officials are pedantic and incompetent. I know all this. The wealthy businessmen are exploiting wantonly, the treasury is empty, the people are miserable, but it is these rats that have gained weight!"  Kneeling to the ground, Yuan Keli and Dang Han hurriedly said: "I can't understand the holy will, and I really deserve death!" Emperor Tianqi ignored the two people, walked to the table and picked up the royal imperial edict, his voice  He told the two people seriously, saying: "In the Liaodong corruption case, many people said that I don't care about the scholars, but who has ever cared about me? In this Lianghuai salt case, I will tell the world that I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.  The Conquest of Ritual and Music comes from the Emperor!" The two people kneeling on the ground were silent. No one dared to say anything.?Suddenly Chen Lin's voice rang out: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei's colleague Xu Xianchun, the director of the North Town Prefecture, has arrived in Nanjing, and the people sent by Eunuch Wei of Dongchang have also arrived!"
