Chapter 420 Iron Blood Emperor 16
The sage paused every word, gritted his teeth and continued: "The people of Dajing are all my people. Every child is my hope and an indispensable part of Dajing's future. A component of neglect. Even the parents of the child should first teach the child the language when he makes a mistake. The child who does not listen to the instruction can be beaten, but he cannot be injured. The deceased beat his daughter many times after being drunk. Who gave him the right to abuse my people?"
Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment wanted to say, saint, what kind of trouble are you doing like this? !You are limiting the patriarchal rights of the clan.
Qi Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites said: "Sage, it is not a crime for parents to beat and punish their children. In the Three Gangs and Five Constants, the husband is the guide for the wife, and the father is the guide for the son. If the father tells the son to die, the child must die, otherwise it is unfilial."
"Yang Shangshu, you vote now!"
Yang Shangshu was stunned, "Saint, what did I do wrong, the saint wants to give me death?"
"The king is the guide for the ministers, and the king tells the ministers to die, and the ministers must die, otherwise they will be disloyal." The saint coldly yelled at Yang Shangshu.
Jia Daishan pushed Yang Shangshu back to his seat, "Old Yang, think about what Qi Shangshu just said. The father is the guide for the son, and the father tells the son to die. The son must die, otherwise it is unfilial. Then I ask you, can the son ask his father?" , why let him die?"
Yang Shangshu understood immediately, blushed with shame, and bowed to the saint.
"Saint, the old minister has a picture."
The sage waved his hand to signal him to sit down.
"Qi Shangshu, if I punish you for three years without reason, will you admit it? Do you recognize Rong Guogong?"
Jia Daishan immediately called out, "Saint, after the old minister has paid back the money he owed, he is now very poor. You can't punish the minister for no reason."
"Then can a father abuse his children for no reason? Qi Shangshu?"
Qi Shangshu blushed, and after a while he replied, "Saint, this old minister understands that it is the old minister who is obsessed with the past and has lost his mind. The old minister suggests adding some content to the junior and primary classes next year, so that children will know that their parents beat and beat them for no reason. Children are not allowed. But, saint, do you want to amend the law?"
Qi Shangshu is not a stupid person, he can be a court official, after he figured it out, he hastened to use his brains to make meritorious deeds in front of the saint.
Yang Shangshu is in a dilemma, the matter of amending the law cannot be completed in one day, one month, one year.
What he meant by the saint was that he was determined to protect all the children, and he didn't want parents to have the possibility of beating their children again.
"Saint, it's hard to distinguish between educating children and beating them."
When Yang Shangshu said this, he wanted to solve the difference between beating and beating in educating children from the heart.
"The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple jointly negotiated this matter, and I am waiting for the result of your discussion."
Yang Shangshu responded to the sage's request, and he then asked the sage, "Sage, what about the case of a wife beating her husband to death?"
The clear process of this case, according to the law, is to be executed by Qiu Houwen.
The saint stared at Yang Shangshu with a cold face.See Yang Shangshu hair straight.
Jia Daishan said softly, "Perhaps the saint can pardon this woman? Her youngest son is only a few months old. If this woman is executed, the four children will have no father or mother."
As expected, Shengxin Dao must be more reliable as a veteran.
But Zhang Zan, as the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, seriously stood up to the saint, "It's not right, a wife beat her husband to death, according to the law of Dajing, she must be executed. Even if it is an amnesty, the woman is not within the scope of the amnesty, and the saint cannot ignore the law. Act."
When Zhang Zan said a word, the old matriarch's mouth twitched. When he finished speaking, the old matriarch stood up and walked a few steps unsteadily, and then said, "Saint, the old minister asked the sage to consider the reason for committing a crime." To protect a daughter and kill her husband by accident is not to murder her husband. Moreover, this woman has given birth to three daughters and one son, and she has made meritorious service to the country. Please forgive the woman.”
Zhang Zan wanted to continue talking, but he thought that his own father, Mrs. Zhang, took another step forward, and then people began to pile up.Zhang Zan was so frightened that he hurried over and grabbed one of the old matriarch's arm reluctantly.It was still Liu Du Yushi who was behind, who reached out quickly, and Jia Daishan also rushed fast. The two of them helped to support the old master's body, so that he did not fall.
The saint hurriedly ordered, "Wangcai, call the imperial physician."
Wangcai responded and ran out, the speed is worthy of being called Wangcai.
Several younger ones came up, and even the historian who recorded the daily notes rushed over, and hurriedly lifted and hugged the old lady to the couch in the warm pavilion next door.
Just as Jia Daishan was about to let go of Zhang Taifu's arm, he felt that his hand was pinched.Jia Daishan was taken aback for a moment, and then saw the old lady Fu's half-closed eyes, and the moment of lightning and thunder, he understood.
"Guo Shangshu, you take people back to continue discussing matters, and the government cannot delay. Lao Jia, I am here to guard my in-laws."
Guo Shangshu looked at Taifu Zhang's eldest son, Zhang Zan, who was still standing beside him. Thinking about what Jia Daishan said was right, he took people back to Wenyuan Pavilion to continue discussing politics.
After a while, Zhou Yuanjue followed Wangcai over.
Zhang Zan was standing in front of his father, Jia Daishan went up to meet him, took Zhou Yuanping's hand and said, "Old Zhou, come and see, did the Grand Tutor have a stroke?"
While Jia Daishan spoke, there were many small movements in his hands.
Zhou Yuanpan took the pulse carefully, and then took out a few silver needles. After half a stick of incense, the old matriarch Fu's half-opened and half-closed eyelids opened weakly.Zhang Zan held the old master's hand, choked up and unable to speak.
"My in-laws, how are you? Old Zhou, the Taifu didn't have a stroke, did he?"
Zhou Yuanpan knew what was going on in his heart, but he still said: "Teacher is getting old, he needs to take care of his body more. This time it's not enough, it's hard to say a few more times."
Then he prescribed prescriptions for Zhang Taifu, but they were all medicines for relaxing tendons, promoting blood circulation, dredging liver and regulating qi.
"Jichen, take good care of the Grand Tutor these few days. Put aside the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment first. After Enhou is busy for a while, I will ask him to take your sister back to have a look."
Zhang Zan had no choice but to nod in response.Jia Daishan accompanied the father and son, and waited for the decoction to be delivered from the imperial hospital, and Zhang Zan waited for his father to finish it.
The old lady Fu said: "Mr. Rong, thank you. You go back to discuss the matter, and it is good for the minister to guard the old man."
Jia Daishan saw that it was useless for him to keep it, so he told Zhang Zan to be careful, and sent someone to call him if something happened, before going back to the meeting hall of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Jia Daishan slipped in quietly, punched the saint, and sat back in his seat.I heard that the sage is asking Hanlin scholars to draft an edict:
"...The Shaw woman has given birth to several daughters and is a meritorious service to the court. She will be exempted from death penalty and exiled to Luzon for ten years. Her three daughters and one son can go to Luzon with the Shao family."
The official historian who recorded the daily life notes wrote hard, is the saint asking for equality between men and women? !No, the saint is going to lift the woman above the head of the man.Listen, Mrs. Shao's birth of several daughters is a meritorious service to the imperial court. Oh, I can't think about it any further... Could it be that her husband didn't play a role in Shaw's birth of children?
The sage waited for the Hanlin scholars to finish writing the imperial edict, and after carefully checking that there were no mistakes, he made a "bang" on the edict and buckled the jade seal heavily.
Many years later, the courtiers of Wenyuan Pavilion also remembered the sound of the saint's seal and the murderous expression in their hearts.
Jia Daishan followed along with Duke Rong's guards, Zhang Zan, Jia Amnesty, and Zhang Yu who had rushed over from the Imperial Academy. Uncle Lang carried the old lady on a stretcher, and sent the old lady to the carriage specially prepared by the saint.
Jia Amnesty also explained to Zhang Zan, "Brother, the wheels of the saint's carriage are different from ordinary ones. Look at the layer of padding on the outside. That is rubber, which can reduce the vibration of the carriage."
The old lady Fu stood out of the mansion, and when she came back, she was lying down, which frightened the old and young in Zhang's mansion.
Rong Guogong and his son wanted to say goodbye after sending the old master into the mansion. Before leaving, Zhang Yu hurried over from the inner courtyard.
"Uncle Jia, please stop, my father has something to say to you."
Jia Daishan smiled and followed Zhang Yu back, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to follow.
Zhang Taifu was neatly dressed and sat leaning against the head of the bed. When Jia Daishan came in, he kicked out his wife, son and son-in-law.With shame on his face, he said to Jia Daishan: "Mr. Rong Guo, alas, I am old but I have to make such a bad plan, alas."
"Teacher, don't worry, Juchen is just young."
"Forget it, don't use these words to lie to the old man. Three years old look younger than five years old. He is so straightforward and doesn't know how to turn around. Fortunately, a few years ago, this old man thought he had changed his mind. Sigh."
Jia Daishan could only try his best to comfort the Tai Tuo with a few words.
"Mr. Rong, Juchen's disposition is not suitable for living in Beijing. The saint is young and vigorous. If he behaves like this, he may force the saint to have to abolish him one day."
"But he has been an official in Beijing. Is he suitable for the ruling party? He is now the third-rank minister of the criminal department. It is not worthwhile to go down to be the governor. He is not qualified to be the governor, and he can't handle the governor's mess. "
The voices of the two of them did not deliberately lower their voices, and Zhang Zan's face outside the door changed drastically when he heard it, red and white for a while, and he was extremely embarrassed.Jia She and Zhang Yu didn't know the truth, but Zhang Zan's prestige has been accumulated for a long time, and the two dare not make mistakes.They looked at each other and quietly stood against the wall, both of them wanted to minimize their sense of existence.
"Teacher, you should rest at home for a few days first, and have a good talk with Juchen. I believe you can open his heart knot. He is the number one scholar. Once he thinks about it, he will not act like today. You also Don't believe what you say when you are five years old and you are old. You can force it into a habit and get used to it. There is no temper in this world that can't be changed, only a lack of energy that weighs the consequences of actions."
"Alas!" The old matriarch sighed more than a year combined.
"Mr. Rong, I have lost you today."
"We are in-laws, and we are both prosperous and wealthy. When Juchen and Enhou can cooperate like you and me, we can die with peace of mind."
Taifu Zhang stared, "Xiao Jia, you know the age of fate, and I still point out you to take care of these people in this mansion."
"It is said that disasters live for thousands of years, so you have something to live for. I'm going back, so you should rest well. In fact, you don't have to think about it too much. The saint is taught by you. Jichen and him are not only brothers, but also half teachers. Friendship. I believe that the sage will not haggle with the courtiers."
