Ancestral system, the system and rules established by the ancestors.

For Confucianism, loyalty and righteousness come first, benevolence and righteousness come last, filial piety comes first, and wisdom and courage come second.

As soon as Hu Anguo's words came out, everyone felt a sour smell.

When he finished speaking, many people looked at him sideways with a faint look of disdain on their faces.

Seeing everyone's disdainful looks, Liu Xing knew what those people were thinking in their hearts: Today, how much of the so-called ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty is left?

As soon as the new law was introduced, many ancestral systems have been changed or even abandoned. And in the implementation of the new law, didn't Mr. Hu also do a lot of things to help Liu Xing abolish the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty?

Well, you're the leader of the Rulin.

In that compartment, he helped Liu Xing formulate new laws, change laws, and promote new policies, which has actually completely overturned and shattered many ancestral systems in the Zhao and Song dynasties.

In this box, Liu Xingyi said that he wanted to abolish the "iron coupon", but you took out the ancestral system again. What's the matter, this is the opposite, no matter how you do it or say it, is it your old Mr. Hu who has the final say......

Knowing that everyone had developed a disdain for the usual fickleness of Confucianism like Hu Anguo, Liu Xing hurriedly opened his mouth and pulled the words back: "The system of the ancestors must not be changed by future generations. However, the times are developing, and society is progressing. When Emperor Taizu ascended the throne and established these rules, he did not know that there would be many unscrupulous descendants in the future who relied on the protection of 'iron coupons' to act recklessly. ”

After a pause in his words, Liu Xing stared at Hu Anguo and smiled strangely, and then said: "He wouldn't have thought that now the world has reached the point where change is life, and change must die." I think if Emperor Taizu has knowledge. He will never blame us for abolishing this 'iron coupon' privilege. Because only this system is abandoned. Only then can our DPRK truly govern the country according to law and establish the country with the constitution. ”

Governing the country according to law and building the country with the constitution. Liu Xing deliberately raised his voice and said these eight words in the end. When Hu Anguo looked at Liu Xing's weird smile again, he immediately had a small calculation in his heart: Establish the country with a constitution, and now this constitutional right is dominated by me. Whoever holds the initiative in drafting the constitution can dominate the future of the Great Song Dynasty.

From this point of view, the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty has indeed become a stumbling block to my ability to obtain supreme power, and has become a piece of chicken ribs.

Governing the country according to law, I will take the lead in formulating the laws of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, so I can first set some rules and regulations in the law to ensure the interests of my Hu family. Why bother with the ancestral system......

As soon as this idea was formed, Hu Anguo also smiled, but he smiled very rightly, and said: "Indeed, as you said, the times and times are developing, and society is progressing. Although the society does not understand, the old man does not know everything. But it is not difficult to understand that it should be a major event in the world and humanity in the world. If we want to progress, there are many things that we should really get rid of. It's just that I'm still worried that the abolition of this system will make my military generals not have to die, and the civil servants don't have to worry about it! ”

The generals don't have to die, and the ministers don't have to care. After Hu Anguo said such a thing. The people in the hall who were still disdainful of his fickle words and deeds nodded their heads.

Seeing those people nodding, Liu Xing knew very well why they nodded.

What is an "iron coupon"? It is the glory of the ancestors and the life talisman of the descendants. The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade. Ancestors make meritorious contributions, and descendants are exempt from death. This is in the context of today's feudal era, almost everyone takes it for granted, and it is also a goal that they want to fight for all their lives.

However, when this goal conflicts with the constitution and the rule of law, many people will immediately become like Juan Guo, and they will not know which path to choose.

Faced with this situation, Liu Xing, who had expected such a situation to come, smiled indifferently and said: "Wenchen doesn't have to worry about it, and he degrades the official to the wilderness. The generals don't have to die, they make a decision. However, although the 'iron coupon' is abolished, it doesn't mean that I really won't be rewarded for meritorious deeds. It's just that it doesn't reward meritorious deeds according to the old system, and it will no longer favor future generations, shade future generations, and create a large number of gentlemen. ”

The words stopped slightly, Liu Xing glanced at the crowd, and then said in a deep voice: "No, the rope is not winding." With the addition of the law, the wise man can resign, the brave man dare to fight, the punishment does not avoid the minister, and the reward is not spared. Han Feizi's method is not expensive, but it is feasible. The Confucian principle of not being courteous to the common people and punishing the doctor should be abolished. ”

After saying this, Liu Xing deliberately looked at Hu Anguo.

Seeing that the old gentleman had no intention of arguing, Liu Xingcai continued: "Since the law is not noble, naturally we should not continue to engage in the practice of shadowing future generations and harming future generations. Therefore, in the future, only the third-class merit medal can be used as an expression of the meritorious service's own exemption from death and criminal responsibility. No matter who commits a crime, he will be severely punished according to the law, and he will never be tolerated and indulged again. ”

Stopping again, Liu Xing looked at Yao Qi, who was still kneeling at the door of the hall, and said in a more heavy tone: "A hundred years old time is like water, and Dao Gaode retains his name." Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so don't worry about your children and grandchildren. If the children and grandchildren are blessed, they can start a family from scratch without having to inherit the inheritance. If your children and grandchildren are not good, you will not be able to squander your family wealth for several years, but you will make a business and harm your children and grandchildren, which is a miscalculation. ”

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, everyone understood. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the "iron coupon" seems to be glory and privilege, but in fact it is something that ruins the children and grandchildren. It is good to have him, but the harm is to truly harm the afterlife......

After understanding, everyone, including Zong Ze, Hu Anguo, and the seed master, naturally no one objected anymore.

Soon, Liu Xing's dictation and Lei Zhen's record showed that a government decree was quickly issued from the Taifu Mansion and spread to all directions: Liu Qi, Liu Xi, Wu Jue, Wu Lu, Yue Fei, Yang Yizhong, Liu Ziyu, Zhu Shizhong, Zhang Suo, Zong Ze and Liu Xing will be jointly awarded the Silver Dry Medal by the Heavenly Privy Council and the Privy Council, and the original iron coupons and Danshu will be invalidated and returned within a time limit.

What's so special about the Silver Medal? This kind of medal was made when Liu Xing first established the medal system when he was in Wutai Mountain. In addition to the official salary and knighthood, the person who receives this medal can also receive 2,000 dragon coins a month for 30 consecutive years. And this time, Liu Xing added another article to this medal: those who are awarded this medal will not die once unless they rebel themselves.

The person with the greatest credit was awarded the medal of avoidance of death for rebellion, but what about the rest?

Liu Xing naturally will not favor one over the other and seek trouble for himself. After the first batch of awardees of the Silver Dry Medal were determined, a list of more than 30 people, including Chen Kangbo, Zeng Weijie and other civil and military courtiers, was determined, and the bronze Dry Medal was uniformly awarded.

The bronze medal is a monthly receipt of 1,750 dragon coins for 30 consecutive years, for a total of 6,300 dragon coins and silver dollars. As for the new privilege, Liu Xing granted the recipient of this medal a one-time exemption from all criminal responsibility for non-treason. (To be continued.) )
