Wei and Jin Cooks

Chapter 1299: Rewards based on merit

Of course Zhao Hanzhang not only discussed merit and rewards with Fu Tinghan, but also asked Ji Yuan and Ming Yu for their opinions.

 Ask Ji Yuan: "Sir, what do you think of Feng Mingyu, Zeng Yue and others as marquises?"

 Ask Ming Yu, "How many meritorious officials do you think should be crowned Dukes?"

Zhao Ming was also asked for his opinion, so the list was changed again and again. During the process, the court was not idle. Zhao Hanzhang kept Tuoba Yilu, gave him a house, and then asked Tuoba Liuxiu to return with the imperial edict. Daiguo.

Bei Gongchun has received Jidan with 30,000 households, and Wei Xiong has also been found by Huang An. Zhao Hanzhang wants to meet these two people before deciding on the person who will act as the governor of the country.

 Before this, the Dai Kingdom was temporarily under the authority of Tuoba Liuxiu Dai County Governor.

The court was still preparing the canons for the Queen Mother and Fu Tinghan. Zhao Hanzhang also issued an order to honor his grandfather Zhao Changyu as Taizu and his father Zhao Zhi as Shizu.

He honored his uncle Zhao Zhongyu as King Jing, and named his grandson Zhao Yi as Duke Jingguo.

These are easy to determine. After this batch was sealed, Zhao Hanzhang began to talk about merit and rewards.

She named Ji Yuan the Duke of Song Dynasty because he was born in Sui County, Liang State, Yuzhou. Liang State belonged to Song State during the Zhou Dynasty, and at the same time, Liang State was changed to Liang County;

Beigong Chun was granted the title of British Duke, naturally because of his bravery and perseverance. At the same time, he was granted the title of General to lead the military forces in the North.

Zhao Ming is the Gong of Cai Guogong, and the book of the Ministry of Households is a common suggestion of Ji Yuan and Ming Yu. He is a clan, and his position should be higher.

Ming Dynasty Yu was Duke of Wei, Zhongshu Ling; Zu Ti was Duke of Beiping, and in addition to serving as the governor of Jizhou, he also held the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War; Zhao Ju was Duke of Xiping and held the post of governor of Yanzhou.

Zeng Yue was the Marquis of Yongyi and was promoted to the commander of the imperial army; Yuan Li was the Marquis of Zhongxin and was promoted to the minister of the Ministry of Chaoshan; Chen Huiniang was the Marquis of Xuande and was appointed the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and the director of the Imperial College; Fan Ying was the marquis of Xuanping and was promoted to the minister of Zhongshu.

 Qiu Wu was named the Marquis of Zhongyong and the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry of Jin; Shi Le was named the Marquis of Xuanwu...

In addition to them, Wang Dao was granted the title of Uncle Xuan Wen, Wang Yifeng was granted the title of Uncle Ping Xi, and Liu Kun, Mi Ce, Ji Ping, Li Tianhe, Xie Shi, Zhao Xin, Hu Jin and others were all granted the title of uncle.

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites finished reciting the imperial edict, Zhao Hanzhang said: "The country is newly established. Because of the great contributions made by women, children, and common people in the establishment of the country, the country should repay them. Although the Zhou Dynasty was long, since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, The Zhou royal family declined. Five hundred years of wars followed the Spring and Autumn Period. Qin II died, and the Han Dynasty was divided into the west and the east. It only took 409 years. Both the Zhou and Han dynasties perished due to the hardship of the people."

"This was the case in the Zhou and Han Dynasties, not to mention the previous dynasties. The people fought hard for many years. Therefore, in order for the dynasty to last long, it needs to love the people. Mencius said that the people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the emperor is the least. Therefore, the people of Qiu are the emperor, and the emperor is the emperor. Since it is the wish of the people, it should naturally be the people's will." Zhao Hanzhang said: "So the current laws should be changed. Ji Yuan, Ming Yu, Zhao Ming, Zhao Cheng, He Xun, Zu Ti, Chen Huiniang and Fan Ying agreed with the new law and confirmed the new law. New laws for the country.”

 Law is the foundation of a country. In fact, since the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, China has always been a combination of human rule and legal rule, in which the rule of law plays a significant role.

 After the Qin Dynasty was overthrown, the Han Dynasty inherited most of the Qin laws and only modified some of the provisions. Later generations revised and changed the laws to serve the ruling class.

It can be said that the law is the most powerful weapon to maintain the orderly development of a society. Zhao Hanzhang wants the country to change with his own ideas, and the first thing to be changed is the law.

It is a pity that many Qin bamboo slips have been lost due to years of war and some unspeakable reasons. It is temporarily impossible to find the complete Qin code.

 However, many old copies of Qin laws and legal models from the time when the Han Dynasty was first established can also be found in the bamboo slips collected in the palace.

 At that time, Liu Bang became emperor for the first time, Lu Fei became queen for the first time, and it was also the first time that the entire country welcomed an emperor and empress to rule together, so everything was moving forward gropingly.

Lu Zhi was directly involved in politics. She proposed several pieces of legislation that favored women. Unfortunately, after her death, these laws were erased.

But it doesn’t matter, Zhao Hanzhang translated it again. The Wei and Jin Dynasties were still very close to the Han Dynasty. Some legal texts could not be circulated outside, but they were collected in the imperial palace.

In addition to Han bamboo slips, there are also Qin bamboo slips.

 Zhao Hanzhang specially met with Liu Kun and Wang Yifeng and borrowed many letters from the Han and Qin dynasties from their tribes.

With the various legal provisions she silently wrote, the small legislative team began to work.

Of course, although this work is important, it is part-time. Each person has his own responsibility. He first writes down the legal provisions, and then meets together every two days to discuss. The rest of the time, everyone still has to do their own work.

 In addition to these eight people, officials in the court and the world's knowledgeable people who have opinions on the law can write to the Ministry of Legislation or Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang ordered people to build a large mailbox in front of the imperial city gate of Luoyang. It was made of wood, leaving only a opening for delivery, and then sealed it completely.

 It will be opened with a key only once every five days, and the letters posted inside will be taken out and read.

This mailbox is only for legislation. There were very few people delivering letters at first. Sometimes when I opened the mailbox five days later, there was nothing inside.

Today is another day when the mailbox is opened. Zhao Hanzhang went for a walk to the palace gate as usual to refresh himself. When he saw that the person who opened the box didn't open anything, he walked back disappointed.

When passing by the Legislative Department in the side hall, I heard the heated discussion coming from inside, so I walked in.

Ming Yu said angrily: "Shilang Fan, although your Majesty referred to Qin Jian more, he didn't ask you to copy it. What kind of man is this? He is not guilty of murder. How can such a cruel law exist again? Do you want to let Hua Kingdom survive?" Become a violent Qin?"

"Why do you want to tyrannize the Qin Dynasty? I didn't just enact this law. There is also a second sentence. If the wife has an affair, she is not guilty of murder. If the husband and wife have an affair, they are guilty of the same crime. What's wrong with that?"

 The husband is not guilty of killing her because she is a hostess. This means that if a man has an affair with someone else outside, his wife is not guilty of killing her. Similarly, if a woman is having an affair outside, her husband is not guilty of killing her.

Ming Yu's face turned dark and he said: "This law won't work. A law is not just fair to men and women. The crime of having an affair will not lead to death..."

“However, the laws of the previous dynasty stated that if a man kills his wife because of her affair, he will not be punished. But if a wife kills her husband, it is a serious crime for any reason and cannot be forgiven. This is unfair.”

Ming Yu said: "You can change this, but you can't change it to the Qin Law. Fan Ying, next time you want to change the law, just say what you want to change directly. There is no need to test it by making insinuations like this." He was afraid that he would be angry to death.

Fan Ying said confidently: "The official wants to change it to this method and thinks it is very good."

 Ming Yu:…

Zu Ti coughed lightly and interjected: "How about changing it to three to ten years? This method can be used by both men and women!"

Fan Ying frowned, "How is the crime of adultery calculated?"

Zu Ti said: "Any adulterer, regardless of husband or wife, once discovered, will be punished by imprisonment for three years. Those who commit adultery will be punished by imprisonment for not less than one year but not more than three years."
