Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 234 Changing the Imperial Edict
Chen Yunfu was depressed all the way back home from the Taiyuan Hospital.

"What's wrong with you?"

Shao Ning was busy taking care of the children, and seeing Chen Yunfu's serious face, she couldn't help being very curious.

She couldn't understand what else in this world could make her husband so worried.

Ever since marrying Chen Yunfu, as long as Chen Yunfu returned home, he would always look calm and clear, just like what Chen Yunfu could say easily on New Year's Eve that year.

'Even if the sky falls, it's not a big deal, just make up for it. '

To make Chen Yunfu go home with a face, something must have happened.

"It's okay." Chen Yunfu rubbed his face, walked to the mothers with a relaxed smile, squatted down and teased Jing He: "What are you playing?"

"Luban lock."

"Can you understand?"

Chen Yunfu chuckled, took off his cloak and put it in a chair beside him, and said to Shao Ning.

"In a few days, all the servants in our family will be driven away."

"Huh? Why?"

Shao Ning didn't understand, so: "It's fine, why did you drive away all the servants."

"In the new dynasty, the imperial court will re-register Dingkou. The servants in our family are also citizens of Daming, so of course they all have to register. They can't always be our family's slaves."

Shao Ning said, not objecting, but just asking: "Then if we drive away all the servants, the house is so big and there are so many things to do, how can we clean it? Besides, there is no one in our house who can cook ,except you."

"It's enough to hire a few for money."

Chen Yunfu explained: "In the future, there will be no masters and servants, only employment. You should turn our family's servants into, into, um, to take care of your mother's nannies for the sake of money."

"I don't know what you think." Shao Ning was amused, and said: "I don't know how many people in the world want to come to our house to serve you and serve you as a cow and a horse for your Cheng Guogong. You are better, turn around Come and give back the money."

"Time moves forward, and many things are always subject to change."

Chen Yunfu said indifferently: "I am the chief assistant of the cabinet, of course I have to set an example. Otherwise, if the top beam is not upright and the bottom beam is crooked, what kind of virtue can I expect from the officials below?"

"After all, it's not the idea of ​​you, the chief minister of the cabinet, slapping your head."

"Hey, how should I speak?" Chen Yunfu corrected: "Even if slavery is abolished in the future, it will be a collective decision of the cabinet, and the cabinet is not my cabinet alone."

Shao Ning stopped again and again: "Cheng Chengcheng, my Shangzhu Kingdom, don't give me lessons at home, but if you want to abolish slaves, what should Qiaoer do? Drive him away too?"

Oh yes, there is also a housemaid at home.

Chen Yunfu smiled and looked at Shao Ning: "Why don't you accept a concubine for your husband?"

"It's cheap for you again."

Shao Ning gritted her teeth angrily, and raised her hand to hit Chen Yunfu. The latter dodged to hide in fright, but luckily the porter ran in at this moment.

"My lord, the Ministry of Rites, Huang Department hall pays homage to me."

Huang Ting came at the right time, Shao Ning glared at Chen Yunfu, took a few children and left, and did not forget to pick up the cloak from the chair and hang it on the hanger before leaving.

"Please come in Huang Butang."

The concierge turned and left, not long after that Huang Ting rushed over and bowed down.

"Huang Ting, my servant, pay my respects to Mingtai."

"sit down."

Chen Yunfu asked curiously: "Why do you want to find the source?"

"Kong Xiwen, the magistrate of Qufu County, has already arrived at the post house of the Ministry of Rites. He wants to ask for instructions from the Mingtai. Will the Ministry of Rites hold a lecture for Kong Xiwen tomorrow?"

The so-called banquet is considered a grand gathering of Confucianism. As usual, when Qufu Ling enters Beijing, the Ministry of Rites will hold a lecture feast on the second day, inviting Qufu Ling to teach Confucian classics to civil officials in Beijing.

This is just the Qufu decree. If it is Yan Shenggong, then the political standards are even higher, so I won’t mention it here for the time being.

The reason why Huang Ting came to ask for Chen Yunfu's opinion was because he keenly discovered something from the cabinet's first statement.

Chen Yunfu didn't seem to like Yan Shenggong's lineage.

Then what else is there to say, if Mingtai doesn't like it, as a member of my sect, I, Huang Ting, can still like it?
Not to mention a Qufu decree, even if Yan Shenggong came, Huang Ting would never give face.

"What kind of banquet is held, the court's money is not blown by strong winds, and all the officials are not free to attend the lecture banquet, this matter is over."

"Eh."

Seeing that Chen Yunfu's reaction was as expected, Huang Ting felt relieved and grateful.

Fortunately, I was wise enough to come here and ask first, if I made a decision hastily, I wouldn't offend Chen Yunfu.

"Huang Ting."

"It's under the door."

"It's coming to the new year to change the yuan. Has the Ministry of Rites drafted the first imperial edict of the new dynasty?"

"Ready." Huang Ting hastily endorsed, speaking eloquently of the content of the first imperial edict after the new dynasty changed to the Yuan Dynasty, and finally asked for instructions: "Respectfully listen to Mingtai's instructions."

The content of the first imperial edict of the Yuan Dynasty was not very nutritious. It was nothing more than singing the praises of the Hongwu Dynasty at the beginning, and then expressing that it would link up the past and the future, make it bigger and stronger, and create glory again. The remaining crimes were reduced to the third class and amnesty was implemented.

"The amnesty will be forgiven."

Regarding the final amnesty, Chen Yunfu expressed some personal opinions: "In the next year, there will be three amnesties alone, one for a third-class crime. After the three amnesties, won't all the criminals who robbed and robbed be acquitted?"

In the next year, the Ming Dynasty will change the Yuan Dynasty to amnesty the world, followed by the imperial concubine, and the world will be amnesty, and finally Zhu Yunqi will still be amnesty when he is in the East Palace.

It's not just three amnesties.

Huang Ting hesitated and said: "The amnesty is His Majesty's grace to the world, so it's not easy to change."

The implication is that the reason why the amnesty exists is not only a way for the ancient emperors to show that the imperial power is greater than the laws of the country, but also a way to benefit the people, so that the people of the world can remember the goodness of the emperor.

Therefore, every new dynasty, new emperor, and new yuan will have an edict of amnesty.

Chen Yunfu blocked the amnesty as a courtier, and Huang Ting felt trembling when he heard it in his ears.

Is Xiangquan meddling in imperial power?
Even if Chen Yunfu dared, Huang Ting wouldn't dare. If Chen Yunfu asked him to take it back and modify it, would Huang Ting change it or not?
On one side is the Prime Minister of the Fuguo who holds great power, and on the other side is the supreme Ninth Five-Year Emperor.

Just wipe your neck and kill yourself.

"It's simple." Chen Yunfu could understand Huang Ting's difficulty, so he said: "You send the imperial edict to the Wenhua Palace tomorrow, and I really have to hold another cabinet office meeting in the past two days. The revised cabinet will be voted on, whether it is approved or not at the cabinet meeting, it has nothing to do with you."

Huang Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up and bowed down.

"Let's do it under the door."
