Chapter 54: The Question of the Punishment of the Cane

For this, Xiong Huai naturally understands.

"Xianqing's words are reasonable, I don't know what Xianqing thinks can give Yin Zhaoyang a nickname."

Jing Li replied: "The minister thinks Shanzi can." โ€

Shanzi is one of the eight horses of King Mu of Zhou, a symbol of famous horses.

Unlike Qu Yuan, who compared King Chu Huai to a beauty, now everyone likes to use the name Ma to compare talents, and soon after King Yan Zhao used his daughter to buy bones in order to attract talents, it is to compare outstanding talents to thousands of horses.

And Shanzi is a famous Maxima in the world.

Using Shanzi as the nickname of Zhaoyang, this is a beautiful name.

Xiong Huai nodded, this nickname to evaluate Zhaoyang can be regarded as a recognition of Zhaoyang's contribution to the Chu State.

"However, let Yin Ke pass on the life of the widow and give Yin Zhaoyang the nickname "Shanzi". โ€

Jing Liying said: "Only." โ€

After Zhaoyang's decision, the next thing is one of today's highlights, Chen Zhen's revision of corporal punishment.

Chen Zhen walked out and said to the king of Chu: "The king is merciful and wants to change the corporal punishment, and the minister Chen Zhen was ordered to modify the corporal punishment, and he is sincerely afraid to speak to the king." โ€

"All those who should have completed their sentence (which is lighter than the punishment of the shaved hair, but have long hair and made it short), shall have the completed sentence commuted to a sentence of one year; where the punishment shall be changed to three years' imprisonment for those who shall be punished with ink and ink; where the punishment shall be severed, it shall be changed to a cane punishment of 100 rods; Whoever should have his foot cut off shall be punished with two hundred rods with a rod, and if he shall be punished with a palace punishment, he shall be punished with three hundred rods with a rod. โ€

"In order to prevent the criminal law from being too light and to make the people disdain to the law, it is possible to increase the normal punishment by 20% on the basis of the person who violates the law for the second time."

There are two kinds of punishments, the city dan refers to the punishment of men who mainly build a city and includes other labor punishments, and the punishment of women who mainly use rice to build a city.

Xiong Huai is still quite satisfied with the punishment of re-education through labor, although the punishment of cutting off and shaving his hair has become re-education through labor, and he always feels that the punishment has been aggravated.

In modern society, if the punishment for cutting hair is changed to a labor camp, it will definitely be sprayed to death.

But people in this era don't think so, and now they pay attention to the psychological burden of their parents who dare not destroy their hair and cut their hair, which is more serious than being beaten by themselves.

As for the cane punishment, Xiong Huai was a little dissatisfied.

The story of Zhou Yu's beating of Huang Gai will be a household name in the future.

Xiong Huai is also a fan of the Three Kingdoms and knows this very well.

But Huang Gai, who is a military general, was beaten with less than fifty strokes and passed out several times.

If according to Chen Zhen's practice, if he is beaten with 100 or 200 rods, and this cane is punished, then there is still a small life left, and it will definitely be either dead or disabled.

In the face of this situation, are you willing to be crippled directly with a knife, or are you willing to be beaten with one or two hundred rods, and then there is a high possibility of death, or you may be disabled, and you may rest for a year and a half and you will be fine.

After Chen Zhen finished speaking, the ministers saw that the king of Chu was silent, and immediately knew that the king of Chu was not satisfied with Chen Zhen's suggestion.

Chen Zhen was the one who made the punishment, and then saluted the king of Chu and said, "Great King, but what is wrong with Weichen? โ€

Xiong Huai shook his head and said, "What Xianqing said is correct, and the use of cane punishment instead of corporal punishment is also discussed before. โ€

"The reason why the widow was puzzled was because he was wondering how the rod punishment was carried out, and how many rods could injure people and how many rods could beat people to death."

"This...

Chen Zhen lowered his head when he heard this, and fell to the ground.

He screwed it up...

At present, in addition to corporal punishment, the most common occurrence of whipping is whipping, ranging from dozens of lashes to hundreds of lashes.

In order to distinguish the revised corporal punishment from the previous whipping punishment, Chen Zhen used all cane punishments.

Then, on the basis of the whipping, the cane punishment was formulated.

Because the cane punishment was obviously more serious than the whipping punishment, in line with the principle of embodying the benevolence of the king of Chu, the number of cane punishments was deliberately reduced to a maximum of 300 cane punishments.

Regarding the question asked by the King of Chu, Chen Zhen really hasn't investigated.

He is good at domestic and foreign affairs, and he has never led a military to fight, and the cane is generally used in the army, and is rarely used in other places.

In the army, most of the punishments that Chen Zhen came into contact with were direct killing, and very few punishments such as cane punishment were used.

It's not a person in the army, and he really doesn't know about cane punishment, so he can only take it for granted.

"Can you understand the punishment of the cane?" Xiong Huai asked the ministers.

โ€œยทยทยทโ€ The ministers were speechless.

Because of the preparation for war, the high-ranking generals of the Chu State basically commanded the troops at the border, and did not come to participate in the court meeting.

Among the ministers present, there were only three people who had mixed in the army, Jing Li, Zhaoju, Qu Yuan, and the former King Chu Huai.

But neither the predecessor nor Jing Liqu Yuan paid attention to the very small punishment of cane punishment, and if the punishment in the army was to alarm the three of them, they would either be sentenced to death or degraded.

Especially Jing Li and Qu Yuan, in most cases, most of them are civilian positions in the army, and they only know that the cane punishment is carried out with a wooden cane, and where do they know what the cane punishment is.

Zhao Ju thought for a while, and saluted to the king of Chu and said: "King, the cane punishment is a punishment in the army, and the law in the country is a corporal punishment. โ€

Xiong Huai asked Zhaoju: "Gong Yin thinks that who in the army knows?" โ€

There must be many people in the army who know about cane punishment, but who knows, Xiong Huai is not clear.

Zhao Ju replied: "Great King, the general Zhao Ying has been in the army for a long time, and he should know the cane punishment." โ€

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "The transmission will be Zhaoying." โ€

At this time, during the Zhaoyang funeral, most of the Zhao clan returned to Yingdu, and Zhaoying was also in the Zhaoyang Mansion at this time.

"Meet the King." After Zhao Ying entered the main hall, he saluted a little stiffly.

Zhao Ying is the rising star of the Zhao clan in the military, and he has been mixed in the army, and he is close to Zhao Ju, so Zhao Ju has just recommended him to the King of Chu.

And on the way here, Zhaoying already knew the content of the summons of the King of Chu.

As for the punishment of cane punishment, Zhao Ying's experience in the army over the years is naturally clear.

In other words, as long as you stay in the middle and lower echelons of the army for a period of time, you will know all about the punishments in the army.

Xiong Huai looked at this thick-eyed and big-eyed Zhao Ying and said, "No courtesy." โ€

"King Xie!" Zhao Ying saluted again, straightened up, and waited for the King of Chu's question.

In the end, it is also the origin of the Zhao family, and it has been influenced by a big family.

After taking two deep breaths, Zhao Ying quickly suppressed the restraint of the first time he saw the King of Chu and became calm.

Xiong Huai said lightly: "Listening to what Gong Yin said, the general has been in the army for a long time and knows the things in the army very well. โ€
