214 Abolition of the death penalty

Everyone saw that the apocalypse decided to revise the Da Ming Law, and said that the revision of the Da Ming Law was the need of the people all over the world, so they all nodded yes. No one has dared to touch the Da Ming Law, that is because Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang once said that no matter who proposes to revise the Da Ming Law in the future, this person is a chaotic minister and thief ‰ Remember the URL of this site:. Now the only way to look at it is to put the responsibility of amending the law on the people, because no matter how big Taizu is, he can't be bigger than all the people in the world, so that the mouths of those who are old-fashioned can be stopped.

Everyone was secretly admiring the ingenuity of the apocalypse to divert pressure, who knew that the apocalypse suddenly said: "Don't kill people in the future, and gradually abolish the death penalty." ”

Gao Panlong was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, the death penalty must never be abolished, it is natural to kill people to repay debts and money, how can the abolition of the death penalty deter those who do evil?" Isn't it conniving at people to do bad things? ”

Tianqi didn't make a sound, just looked at Liu Zongzhou and King Xin, Liu Zongzhou said: "Although the minister doesn't know why the emperor proposed to abolish the death penalty, but the minister thinks that the emperor must have a reason for saying this, I don't know if the emperor can explain it in detail?" ”

King Xin also said: "Yes, the royal brother will talk about it." ”

Tianqi said: "I looked at the recitals presented by Lord Gao and Hong Chengchou and Hou Sui of the Military Affairs Yuan after returning to Beijing from Shaanxi, and found that my Ming Dynasty's strength in the west of Shaanxi was very weak. I think that in the Han Dynasty, there was Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, and in the Tang Dynasty, there was also Princess Wencheng who married Songtsan Gampo, if I can strengthen the power west of Shaanxi and reopen the Silk Road, I can go directly to Taixi by land, so as to avoid being coerced by what Jesus will want to do some material or ideological exchanges. ”

Gao Panlong said: "The minister saw that the defenders of Shaanxi were not very strong along the way, but what does it have to do with the abolition of the death penalty? Does the emperor want to let the condemned prisoners join the army? ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "Compared with the army of the Khan and Tang Dynasty, the armies of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are relatively weak. If the Ming Dynasty adds the assigned people to the army, isn't Qi weaker than weaker? In fact, the weak strength in the west of Shaanxi is not entirely due to the army, but also one of the real reasons∞ I want to divide a piece of land in the west of Shaanxi, and send the people who have repentance for the negligence and crime among the condemned prisoners there, so that they can live and reproduce there and never be allowed to return to their homeland, which is also equivalent to waste utilization. ”

Gao Panlong pondered for a while and asked: "Will they defect to the enemy, or will they form a separatist force to fight against the imperial court in the future?" These are wise people, and those who are not wise cannot sin. ”

Tianqi said: "When I was fine, I read ancient books, and found that the ancient books said that ancient benevolent monarchs generally did not kill people, and those who committed crimes were sent to the south of the Yangtze River. Now it seems that the descendants of those people should be in the Huguang and Zhejiang areas, you see how smart the people in those places are now! This also proves that most of the people who commit crimes are wise people, and it is very difficult for fools to sin. If the area west of Shaanxi is turned into a place where criminals live together, I believe that many champions will emerge in many years' time, and as for the fear that they have bad intentions, we can strengthen military force to supervise them. ”

Gao Panlong said with a smile: "What the emperor said makes people feel incredible, I don't know where the emperor analyzed it?" ”

Tianqi said: "I am not opening a river, criminals live together, and their descendants are not only smart but also beautiful~ There is such a song "Han Guang" in the scripture, you must not be unfamiliar, it is said that Confucius once loved a woman of Chu and could not, so he issued 'There are arbors in the south, and you can't think about it; Han has a wandering girl, unthinkable. With emotion, even the woman who was emotional to Sage Kong must be very beautiful. And the next few sentences, 'The breadth of the Han is incomprehensible; Jiang Zhiyong is incomprehensible. It is repeated in the poem, why can't you think about it? Because they are sinners! Why are most of the coffins in the south boat-shaped? Because they want to go back to their homeland! ”

Everyone saw that the words of the Apocalypse were conclusive, and they all turned to look at Liu Zongzhou, because Liu Zongzhou's erudition in history was admired by everyoneβ–‘ Zongzhou laughed and said: "What the emperor said is very novel, if it is said that the historical ministers of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties know a little bit about it, if it is said that it is the affairs of the ancient emperors, the ministers dare not say that they know everything, since the emperor said that there is, even if there is." The emperor means that those who are truly remorseful for negligent crimes and should be sentenced to death according to the law will not be killed, and will be sent to the west of Shaanxi to reform their ways, so how to deal with those who are extremely vicious and die without repentance? Is it also not killed? ”

Seeing that Liu Zongzhou was not entangled in things that were not easy to discern, and was able to turn back to the main issue, Tianqi couldn't help but nod secretly, thinking that this Liu Zongzhou was finally no longer the same tendon as before, which was worthy of appreciation. He thought for a while and said: "Extremely vicious people can't simply cut things with a knife, they should also use the old, after all, no matter how they are cut and buried, they will stink on the ground" For a while, Master Wu of the medical school said that there are many young people in their medical school who are willing to learn Taixi medicine, and the medical skills of Taixi people are different from the starting point of our Ming Dynasty, they do not talk about yang balance and are only interested in a certain part. ”

King Xin said at this time: "This matter is known to the younger brother, last time that Fu Shilang said that he would bring his nephew to study medicine, everyone was not optimistic, who knew that the kid named Fu Shan was very clever, Wu Zhiwang Wu Da valued him ♀ very much, some young people are curious, and it is also commendable to want to touch the bypass from Taixi medicine." ”

Apocalypse said: "One of the biggest problems with Tessie's medical skills is that they don't find out the cause of the disease by means of looking, hearing, asking, etc., they trust their own eyes more. In order to heal the sick, they want to find the corpses of some people and dissect them first∞ which means that those who die unrepentant will be handed over to the medical school for autopsy, and let the medical students take the corpses of these criminals to practice their hands, so as to prepare for the treatment of others in the future. ”

Seeing that Tianqi said that the condemned prisoner would be autopsied, King Xin, Liu Zongzhou and others were so surprised that they couldn't speak, after all, everyone had never seen such a thing, and it was difficult to accept it in their hearts for a while. Everyone thought about it and looked at Xu Guangqi together, because they knew that the practice of obtaining medical skills by dissecting people was brought by those Taixi people, and those Taixi people were recommended to Tianqi by Xu Guangqi, Gao Panlong even said unceremoniously: "Cutting a living person like a pig to see his internal organs, isn't that the same as the legendary ghost who eats human flesh and drinks human blood?" ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Taixi's medical skills are different from the medical skills of the Ming Dynasty, if the people of the Ming Dynasty can learn the medical skills of Taixi, they will cure many more people, and many soldiers who died on the battlefield may pick up a life." However, if there are too many people who oppose it, it is better to slow down so as not to cause criticism. ”

Seeing Xu Guangqi playing tricks, Tianqi said: "It's not okay to skin people alive, you must strangle them to death first." If they are willing to be cut down or sent to medical school for dissection, if they are willing to give an autopsy, they can also give their families a sum of money, or give the victims' families a sum of money, which is considered a way ♀ of atonement. However, as mentioned earlier, it is necessary to set aside a piece of land in the vast area west of Shaanxi and place people who have committed crimes of negligence and remorse there and never return to their homeland. ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "According to what the emperor said, it is the right way to let yourself decide to let the people of the world decide." ”

Tianqi said: "Then let's decide, I have just given birth to two princes, so I will grant a limited amnesty to the world in the name of the prince, and change all the condemned prisoners to lifelong distribution and never return to their hometowns, and those who should be sentenced to death in the future will be sentenced to life distribution, which can be regarded as a long-term accumulation of virtue for the two princes." I talked too much today, so let's go down and discuss them one by one, and how to submit them to my opinion. ”

King Xin made a gesture of his hand, and a small official who specially recorded came over to the side handed the record in his hand to King Xin, and King Xin took it and looked at it and said to the apocalypse: "Don't talk about small things, and read the big things by the younger brother to see if the record is correct." In the future, the people of the Prison Yuan should try to use their mouths and hands as little as possible, because only by doing less can they not make mistakes, and only by not making mistakes can they become perfect people without shortcomings, and only by being perfect can they gain the trust of officials and the people. The expanded auxiliary government academy should be supplemented by both theoretical and practical aspects, and the theoretical assistance is divided into the overall plan of the sacred college and the specific guidance of the doctoral college. ”

Tianqi said: "I also want to add that the actual assistance is auxiliary to the level and supervision to the subordinates, so as to ensure effective control from top to bottom." ”

King Shin took the pen and added this sentence and continued: "The Holy College should measure the social gap mainly according to the idea of equality and freedom, and find the right social gap according to the needs of the people, not too big and not too small. The role of the Faculty of Liberal Arts should be to provide specific guidance on specific matters, and to join hands with the Ministry of Rites to establish a wide range of schools, both to teach new knowledge to Tessirai, but also to not forget patriotic education and to cultivate loyalty. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "The research direction of the Bo Academy should be used for the purpose of application, and it should be limited by time. ”

Nodding his head, Shin Wang continued, "The main business of the Government Council is to obtain the real needs of the people and plan in advance, and to use the two means of equality and fairness to adjust the social disparity and keep it at an appropriate level. The main task of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to measure the ability of each official and put it in the most appropriate position. ”

Tianqi thought for a moment and said, "I know that the ability of officials is not certain, because I have said before that I do not evaluate ability by merit and seniority. After the gradual promotion of the first level of the auxiliary political institute, the four-level auxiliary political institutions of the central, provincial, government and county are gradually formed, and after the auxiliary political institutions, they can accurately evaluate the ability of officials by whether they are fair or not, and it can also be said that fairness is the greatest ability! ”
