Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 207 Joint Meeting of the Three Legal Divisions

"We heard that you were in the Metropolitan Procuratorate yesterday, so you managed to burn three fires for the new official to take office."

Zhu Biao and Chen Yunfu strolled around in the other garden of the Prince's Mansion, and said with a smile: "What do you mean that in the future, the impeachment scripts of all provinces, six departments and five temples will have to pass your hands before being impeached by the court? It is rumored that you, Chen Yunfu, want to take power."

Chen Yunfu also laughed.

"The ability of this group of people to take meaning out of context is really not covered. Didn't they spread the second half of what I said?"

"What second half of the sentence?"

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate must never be used as a sword for party struggle."

Zhu Biao stopped and nodded approvingly: "That's right, well said, not only you are procuratorate, but also the three legal departments are not allowed to be the sword of party struggle, because you are the bottom line of national law, and national law is the bottom line of morality, Once you participate in party disputes, it means that the national law has no bottom line, and the etiquette and morality have no bottom line.

By that time, no one knows how many corruption cases have been covered up and how many unjust cases have been concocted. "

"It's like the Jinyiwei back then, right?"

Chen Yunfu said silently: "What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom. Jin Yiwei knew that His Majesty was furious at that time, so he made a lot of troubles, killing the whole family at every turn, from the old man to the child."

For Lao Zhu's achievements, Chen Yunfu was 1 convinced, but there was one thing he really didn't like, and his heart was too cruel.

Not to mention Chen Yunfu as a foreigner, even Zhu Biao didn't like him either, and he had a lot of quarrels with Lao Zhu because of this. If it weren't for the conflicts accumulated for so many years, Zhu Biao would not have gone to Zhu Yuanzhang to force the palace.

"When the queen mother was still there, I could occasionally persuade her. Now that the queen mother is gone, we can only stop it by forcing the palace. Fortunately, it is much better now, isn't it?"

Zhu Biao exposed this topic: "Now Jinyiwei has been abolished, and my father has also gone to Mochou Lake to take care of the holy bow. You can go ahead and do it boldly. We will support you wholeheartedly."

Chen Yunfu made a bow: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Organize and hold a joint meeting of the three legal divisions."

Zhu Biao laughed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Where do you come up with so many new words all day long, but fortunately, these new words of yours can be understood literally, but they are all vernacular.

Tell me, what are you going to do with this joint meeting of the three judicial departments? "

"Revise the "Law of the Ming Dynasty"!"

If Chen Yunfu didn't open his mouth, he would be fine, but if he opened his mouth, it would be a blockbuster.

"The law is the cornerstone of the country. If the law is not clear, the country will not be right, and if the law is not strict, the country will be unstable. The revision of the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" will help the officials and people of the Ming Dynasty to reflect on themselves and know what to do and what not to do."

Zhu Biao nodded first, and then reminded: "Strict what should be strict, and loose where should be loose. You must grasp the speed in the middle."

"I draw up a draft and send it to His Highness for review immediately."

"Go do it."

Zhu Biao gave him all the support as the most powerful prison prince in history, and Chen Yunfu's work was extremely easy to carry out.

After leaving the prince's mansion, Chen Yunfu found Shao Zhi and Zou Jun, the Minister of Dali Temple.

The three of them met briefly first, and after Chen Yunfu conveyed Zhu Biao's meaning, the three of them reached a consensus, setting the time and participants for the joint meeting of the three legal departments.

In terms of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, besides Chen Yunfu, there are the left and right deputy capital censors and the left and right censors.

The Ministry of Punishment is Shao Zhi, the Shangshu, and the left and right servants.

In Dali Temple, Zou Jun, the minister of Dali Temple, and Sicheng, the trial department.

It is worth mentioning that the current Sicheng of the Judgment Division of Dali Temple is Chen Yunfu's real brother-in-law, Shao Zhi's son Shao Ziheng.

Shao Ziheng's success as the head of the most powerful department in Dali Temple is entirely due to Chen Yunfu's credit.

Not long after Chen Yunfu was demoted to Wuzhong County, it was Zhu Biao who personally intervened and made Shao Ziheng, who had just joined the work, directly become the Si Cheng of the Judgment Department.

Political compensation for rocket promotion.

There is no criticism, and everyone in Dali Temple accepts it.

What if you don't accept it, why not go to Lao Zhu to impeach Zhu Biao?

A few heads are enough to chop off.

The number of participants is not many, but they are all powerful factions, few but good, which is good for the development of the meeting.

There is no point in having a lot of people except to make the movement louder when quarreling.

Now Lao Chen intends to move out of the set of administrative concepts of "small meetings for big things, and few meetings for small things".

The location of the meeting was provided by Zhu Biao.

Dongge!

Zhu Biao sponsored the place where he had governed before, and left it for this joint meeting of the three legal departments.

The clerk in charge of this meeting was Yin Zizhao, Chen Yunfu's private secretary in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Hu Sizong, who was sent by the Tongzheng Envoy.

The joint meeting of the three law departments must discuss major issues. If the General Political Department wants to establish a project, even if it is a draft, the General Political Department must leave a rough foundation.

"The only topic of our meeting today is to revise the Law of the Ming Dynasty. The law is the cornerstone of the country, and the law is also the bottom line of morality.

However, there are also right and wrong in the law, and there are also inappropriate places. As the dynasty is advancing, the law should also advance accordingly.

Next, we will revise the "Preface and Bylaws of the Daming Law Collection" and let Shao Butang of the Ministry of Punishment preside over it. "

Chen Yunfu made the opening remarks, and then handed over the presiding work to Shao Zhi.

The father-in-law of my family has worked in the political and legal unit all his life, and he can almost memorize a copy of "Da Ming Law" by heart. He presided over it and made the best use of it.

Shao Zhi is not polite, and he can't pretend to be polite when doing practical things. After taking Chen Yunfu's words, he started his own work.

Picking up the memorial that he brought with him, it said all the matters of today's meeting, which were determined by the meeting between him, Chen Yunfu and Zou Jun.

"The first issue is the scope of application of Lingchi."

Shao Zhi looked around, and finally set his eyes on Chen Yunfu.

The first topic was brought by Chen Yunfu.

There is no way, Lao Chen has a psychological shadow now.

Chen Yunfu still occasionally has nightmares when he thinks about the neatly coiled shredded meat in the imperial prison.

There is a saying that only humans can be so cruel, but animals do not regard killing as an art.

"According to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", those who conspire against, murder the elders, commit adultery and murder their own husbands, slaves and maids kill their masters, slaughter all people, kill three or more people, torture and dismember ) victims, those who hire murderers to murder family members and relatives, and those who beat elders to death shall all be sentenced to Ling Chi.”

Shao Zhi began to express his opinions on the revision.

"It is now pre-revised that Ling Chi is no longer applicable except for treason, massacres, and murder and dismemberment of victims, and other death penalties will be replaced. The specific penalties will be determined later."

"Voting at this meeting does not require a speech, just a show of hands."

Chen Yunfu was the first to raise his hand.

Subsequently, it passed unanimously.
