I want to be a grandson

Chapter 408

Zhu Yunxi stood up, his face full of unbearable, and endless entanglement,

Said: "What are you doing? After all, Kong Na is a saint, and Yan Shenggong has been named for many years. How can he deal with it easily..."

"Your Highness!"

Yang Jing seemed to retort and said: "What the adults said is that those who are disloyal, unfilial, and unkind should be hanged according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty!
The ministers and others ask for orders, kill Kong Na, and depose Yan Shenggong!I beseech Your Highness to make it happen! "

All the ministers who knelt on the ground said together: "I beg for orders, kill Kong Na and depose Duke Yansheng! I beg Your Highness to do it!"

"Your Majesty begs for orders to kill Kong Na and depose Duke Yan Sheng! I beseech Your Highness to do it!"

"Ugh……"

Zhu Yunxi sighed heavily, "Why are you so persistent in your love, oh...that's all...

According to the decree of this king, according to the request of your lovers, the title of Duke Yansheng will be deposed,
But for the sake of the sage Kong, Kong Na can't kill him!Just let him go into exile for three thousand miles..."

The courtiers raised their heads, and just about to speak, Zhu Yunxi seemed to know that he wanted to remonstrate, so he immediately stretched out his hand to stop their words,

"My dear friends, I have made up my mind, so I don't need to persuade you anymore! Retire from court!
After speaking, he walked away with a very firm attitude!

"Your Majesty will send you off respectfully..."

Why didn't Zhu Yunxi kill Kong Na?

Because it is not necessary!

As long as the title of Lord Yansheng is paid out, the Kong family will no longer be able to cause any disturbances, and my goal has been achieved!

Killed 31 members of the Kong family, and exiled and imprisoned, the hatred of the common people can be avenged, and the hatred of the violent can also be avenged

There is another reason, that is, there are so many crimes committed by the Kong family, many He Yan Shenggong himself has no direct relationship, and there is no need for him to end up doing evil things himself.

Of course, these crimes can also be attributed to him, but no matter how he dies, it is nothing more than death.

The ancient class thinking was serious, even if Kong Na really deserved to die, the court had to give them some kindness, otherwise it would appear too cold-blooded.

Using a condemned person to block the mouths of some people can not only show their "kindness", but also prevent them from mentioning the canonization of Yan Shenggong again, so why not do it.

Besides, Kong Na, how long can he live, whether he is dead or alive, isn't that a matter of one sentence...

After the dynasty, Zhu Yunxi asked Yang Jing, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, and Zhou Zhiqing, minister of Dali Temple, to stay.

In the Xibei hall of Wenhua hall and Jiyi hall, there are Hubu Yuxin, Fu Youwen, Qi Tai, Tie Xuan, Bao Zhao and others.

Because it is not a formal court meeting, there are not so many rules. Everyone sits on the brocade bench, and the atmosphere is relatively harmonious.

Yang Jing asked: "His Royal Highness, I wonder if there is any order for summoning the minister?"

Zhu Yunxi said: "Yang Butang, you made a suggestion about the Ming law a few days ago, let's talk about it today."

Yang Jing nodded and said: "Your Highness, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty attached great importance to the promulgation of laws, and often asked officials to explain the "Laws of the Tang Dynasty". After listening to them, His Majesty discarded the essence and kept some.

Later, after revisions, the current framework of the law came into being. Therefore, in terms of criminal law, the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" originated from the "Law of the Tang Dynasty".

Others such as miscellaneous criminals, beheading, strangulation, migration, expropriation, shackles, tattooing, redemption, Ling Chi, owl heads, corpse killing, etc. in the regulations, some were inherited from the previous generation, and some were created by the Ming Dynasty. "

"The "Five Penalties" stipulates that there are five kinds of punishments, namely, flogging, stick, imprisonment, strangulation, and death; in the specific provisions of the "Six Laws", there are punishments such as late execution, exile from the frontier, emigration, and tattooing;
The "Ten Evils" article stipulates ten so-called felony crimes, including treason, treason, treason, treason, immorality, disrespect, filial piety, disharmony, injustice, and civil strife. "

"However, the current Great Ming Law is not yet perfect, and is still in the process of being supplemented. I would like to increase the progress of perfection, so that it can be published and promulgated as soon as possible."

Zhu Yunxi said: "The law is the foundation of governing a country. What Yang Butang said is absolutely true."

"Your Highness, you are welcome..."

Zhu Yunxi changed the subject and said, "However, among the existing laws, some are too strict and need to be revised."

Yang Jing couldn't help asking: "May I ask what your Highness said?"

Zhu Yunxi did not answer directly, but said: "At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the laws and regulations were re-enacted to adapt to the current situation. I don't know how Master Yang plans to improve the laws."

"Your Highness, please take a look..."

Yang Jing handed a scroll to the eunuch Wang Zhong, and Wang Zhong put it on the desk in front of Zhu Yunxi.

Yang Jing explained: "Your Highness, I feel that the law is perfect. In a word, it is the law of lenient punishment, to govern the people strictly, and to be fair inside and outside."

Yu Xin did not participate in the formulation of these laws, saying that the specific situation is not clear, but when he heard that the people should be governed strictly, he couldn't help frowning.

"Yang Butang, I don't know what it means to govern the people with strictness?"

After all, in this era, the lives of the people are already very difficult. It would be out of date to treat the people very harshly according to the law.

Yang Jing could see that Yu Xin didn't agree with it, so he explained with a smile: "This strict rule of the people is based on the premise of lenient punishment laws.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if a person has some minor faults, it can range from being whipped with a stick, leaving scars all over his body, or even killing his life if it is serious. Chance. "

"Ten sticks can kill a person, and a hundred sticks can make a person not hurt. It all depends on the mood of the torturer. Therefore, if many people break the law, they will bribe the officials to avoid the pain of flesh and blood.

As for those poor families who have no money, it is not beneficial for the officials to extort them, and they will often beat them hard. Even if they cause death, they will also evade the criminal's illness or infirmity, so a big loophole is left. "

After a pause, Yang Jing continued: "That's why I feel that if the common people make some small mistakes, they can be fined with some money or food, and they can also be compensated with labor.
It can be done by building a section of road, reclaiming a few acres of land, or dredging the river. This will reduce the suffering of the people and increase the income and construction of the government. "

"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi said secretly.

Just as Yang Jing said, it was all in the mind of those officials to beat them lightly and hard.
Isn't this a clear opportunity for people to corrupt the law and exploit the common people?

And according to the medical conditions of this era, after a person suffers a flesh injury, once infected, many people are hopeless!
It can fester in one piece, and it is likely to leave a lifetime of illness!If it is serious, it will die from infection!

Yu Xin nodded, and said quite agreeingly: "The original intention of the law is to make people do good, to make people fear power and not dare to do evil.
If the people make some small mistakes, they will be punished with whips and sticks, which will only make people fear and hate, and make the two confront each other. "

"If the weather is good and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it's fine. Once the years are unfavorable and the people are in poverty, they will turn into bandits and robbers attacking the government. This makes it difficult for the people to work together with the government and the court."

Yang Jing bowed to Zhu Yunxi and said: "Your Highness, if the court can leniency in the law, it will be a blessing to the people."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, but did not speak.

Yang Jing went on to say: "As for governing the people with strictness, it means that those who are treacherous and evil and violate the law need to be strictly enforced.

Never play favoritism or cheat, and never let the bad guys get away with it!Those who should be imprisoned should be imprisoned, those who should be killed should be killed, and there will be no mercy! "

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "Tolerance to the wicked is the punishment to the good! Those who commit crimes, those who kill and set fire, the common people hate it!

If it cannot be brought to justice, what is the law of Ming Dynasty!What is the face of the government!If you can't avenge the people and uphold justice, others will point at the backbone of the court and scold them! "

Dali Temple Minister Zhou Zhiqing also said: "Yes, if you want to govern the people and win the hearts of the people, you must never have outlaws! Otherwise, the government will have no majesty among the people! Therefore, these criminals must be severely punished!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help being quite indignant at the end!
Zhu Yunxie said: "I would like to add one more thing. There must be a big drum at the gate of the county government. This is called Dengwen Drum, which means "Dengshi Shangwen".
The officials in the county government must immediately and quickly deal with the cases of the people, and those who are slack and do not deal with them or deliberately suppress them will not be tolerated! "

"And the common people should be allowed to watch the government's trial of the case! Since the trial is fair, why avoid the common people? What is shameful?"

This is Zhu Yunxi's inspiration from watching some TV dramas in later generations, some people who had grievances did not clear up their grievances, but got it.

After coming to this generation, Zhu Yunxi went to check the historical data, only to find that there was already something similar to the Dengwen drum in the Zhou Dynasty, called the lung stone.

"Zhou Liqiu Guan Da Si Kou" records: "Use the lung stone to reach (reach) the poor, and those who are far and near alone, old and young, want to have a recovery, and those who are long-lived, stand on the lung stone, and for three days, the scholars listen to them. resignation, to sue the superiors, and to offend the elders."

It is also recorded: ""The lung stone is a red stone set outside the imperial gate in ancient times. The stone is shaped like a lung, so it is named. "

Ji Ju believes that there are grievances in the family, which can be pleaded and corrected, but when the country has grievances, especially when officials bully the common people behind their backs, how should the common people defend?How to supervise those unrighteous officials?

So he erected a red stone in front of the palace and told the powerless people in the world that if they have any grievances or are bullied by officials, they can stand on the red stone and make a complaint. Those who stand for three days will be accepted by the government. and report.

This system was widely promoted by the Zhou Dynasty.It is said in history: "The system of lung stones.

Yang Jing asked: "Your Highness, are Dengwen drums set up in front of government offices in various places?"

Zhu Yunxi said: "That's right, as long as the yamen handle civil affairs, all of them will be set up!"
