Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 37 The legal principles are clear [Second update, please read and collect]

Shang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then answered honestly: "Depending on the degree of slandering the new law, you should be punished with the rod, death penalty, or death."

Before Chen Ye could speak, Lin Jun on the side laughed loudly: "Hahahahahaha, what do you think you can do? It turns out you want to reduce the prince's guilt?"

He took a step forward and looked at Chen Ye, Shang Yang, Ying Si and the rest of the people present, like an unyielding warrior.

"The State of Qin implemented a new law, but the prince slandered the new law. Shouldn't the punishment be increased?"

"After all, the prince knowingly committed the crime!"

Qin Xiaogong's voice was cold, and he looked at Lin Jun: "Oh?"

"Then what kind of punishment do you think the prince should be sentenced to?"

Lin Jun smiled softly: "Of course it's a capital crime!"

He stood with his chest held high, his neck held high, and he said without hesitation: "I just inadvertently slandered the new law and then imposed torture. Could it be that it was intentional?"

Chen Ye ignored Lin Jun's words and just continued: "I also think that he should be punished with death."

When these words came to light, everyone present, including Lin Jun, was completely stunned.

What do you mean?
  Heijia was also stunned. What do you mean?
  He originally thought that Shang Yang was brave enough, but who would have thought that Chen Ye was even braver!

Is Chen Ye crazy?

This is the crown prince of the country, and he actually said that he would be punished with death?

Qin Xiaogong's expression changed, and when he was about to say something, Ying Si spoke first: "I think this is a fair sentence."

"Please punish this son to death."

Qin Xiaogong's expression changed again, but he was relieved. Looking at Ying Si and Chen Ye singing together, he suddenly understood something in his heart.

Since the prince did this, he must have discussed something with Chen Ye.

It seems that Chen Ye already has a solution.

Shang Yang also woke up after a brief confusion. He just looked at Chen Ye's back and thought about what Chen Ye would do.

As expected, Chen Ye spoke: "Your Majesty, according to the Qin Law, the prince should be sentenced to death, and then he can be beheaded. This is the Qin Law."

"But the law is tolerant. The prince is the crown prince and the foundation of a country. Besides the king, he should be the most noble."

"The ruler of Qin is the foundation of the country; the prince is also the foundation of the country."

"The body, hair and skin are affected by the parents, Qin Nai respects the rites of Zhou."

"The one who sends it is the body."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present understood what Chen Ye wanted to say, but their expressions still did not calm down.

Chen Ye continued: "Therefore, I believe that the crown prince's punishment can be to cut off his hair and replace his head."

"Therefore, the crime of the prince is a capital crime. We can consider that the prince is the foundation of the country and replace it with death."

"In this way, Qin's laws have never wavered as the foundation of the country, and the prince's foundation as the country has never wavered. This can not only calm the hearts of the people, but also maintain the majesty of Qin's laws."

Before Hei Jia and others could react, Shang Yang stepped forward with sincerity in his voice: "Your Majesty, I agree with Chen Sikou's words."

"The law is the order of heaven and earth, but there is love outside the law."

"The theory of the new law is to strengthen the country. The prince is the foundation of the country. If the foundation of the country is shaken, what is the use of the country's strength?"

"I agree with Chen Sikou's statement that hair should be used as the head."

Qin Xiaogong smiled slightly, feeling satisfied in his heart, but he still glanced at Heijia: "What do you think?"

Let hair take the lead!

What can Heijia say? Does he dare to object? Now it can't be said that Qin Xiaogong has been completely offended. At most, he is just being vindictive. But if the prince really dies, will they still have a way to survive?
  What's more, if the prince really dies, forget it. The current situation is that even if he insists, the prince will not die!
  At most, it's just hair instead of head.

Therefore, Heijia took a step forward and said in a sincere voice: "I think this is the best choice."

Qin Xiaogong looked at Lin Jun who was standing there, stunned, and said in a majestic voice: "Lin Jun, what do you think of this punishment?"

Lin Jun stood there in despair. He raised his head and looked at the majestic Qin Xiaogong on the high platform, and then glanced at Ying Si who was kneeling on the ground with a sincere expression. He couldn't help but said helplessly: "This punishment is the best."

In fact, this criminal law is not too light.

Cutting hair is also a sign of disrespect. If the prince did this in normal times, he would have lost half of his etiquette. But in this situation, this kind of disrespect has become the best choice to gather the hearts of the people and maintain the dignity of Qin Law.

Even if Ying Si becomes the king in the future, it will be a good story if this matter spreads.

In order to maintain the dignity of Qin's law, the prince of a country was willing to be punished, and even ended up cutting off his hair as the head!
  What kind of courage is this?
  Whether it is Shang Yang or Qin Xiaogong, whether it is Chen Ye or Ying Si, whether it is Hei Jia or Lin Jun, they all know that after what happened today, when word of what happened today is spread, the world will be shocked.

The laws of Qin are the foundation of the country.

Qin Law is the source of law.

The law of heaven is clear. When a prince breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people!

Qin Palace, back hall

Qin Xiaogong relaxed, pointed at Chen Ye in front of him and cursed: "Shuzi!"

"When you colluded with that traitor, didn't you know to talk to me first?"

"Do you know where the anger was in my heart when I heard about the death penalty and the arrival of the prince?"

Chen Ye chuckled. He looked at Qin Xiaogong and explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't be angry."

"Isn't it too late to tell you?"

"At that time, Heijia was waiting for me in Sikou's Mansion, watching me all the time. I was so anxious that I could only ask the servant to pass a sentence. Fortunately, the prince understood what I meant and cooperated perfectly with him. "

Qin Xiaogong sneered and looked at Ying Si again: "You."

He poked Ying Si's forehead with his finger: "If you don't finish this play today, I'll see what you do!"

Ying Si relaxed his shoulders: "Father, why are you so worried?"

"It won't really come to that."

Qin Xiaogong sneered: "It won't really come to this point? How do you think Heijia and the others can take action at this time if they are not sure?"

He shook his head: "It was just discovered by the few, so their preparations were instantly extinguished."

“You still have to be careful in the future and try not to mix with these people.”

Qin Xiaogong looked at Shang Yang aside: "But, you can continue to implement your new law."

He took a long breath and said, "The first phase of the new law has almost been implemented."

"Under such intensity, many old nobles have begun to disintegrate, but the power of the new nobles has not yet expanded."

Qin Xiaogong's expression was profound: "It's time."

"It's time to give them a push!"

At the same time, everything that happened in the main hall spread throughout Yueyang City at lightning speed.

Everyone is talking.

"In the spring of the eighth year of Duke Xiao, the people of the country raised the prince to destroy the new law. You summoned Duke Shang and Duke Chen to the palace. The prince said: The laws of Qin are the foundation of the country and are for the safety of the people. They cannot be abolished because of oneself. Therefore, Duke Chen blamed the prince and said All are punished by death, but the prince is the foundation of the country, so he should be replaced by hair. People in the country all praise the prince. - "Book of Qin·Biography of Shang Yang"
