Chapter Eighty-Eight: The New Law
It seems that he was born to work part-time, even if time is reincarnated for thousands of years, nothing has changed. After exhausting all kinds of methods, they did not change Zhao Laoer's mind, and Wen Qihang, who was riding on a horse to the capital division, couldn't help but sigh.
"You just don't want to take this errand?" Tan Fengyi, who accompanied Wen Qihang into Beijing together, heard Wen Qihang's lamentation, and asked angrily.
"It's not just this errand, I don't want to take any errand, I have to go to the top in the middle of the night, even when I was squeezed by the capitalists, I have never been so miserable." Wen Qihang complained.
"Are you going to eat and wait for death in your life?" Tan Fengyi pouted.
"What's wrong with eating and waiting for death, if everyone has a realm like me, the world will be peaceful." Wen Qihang snorted lightly: "Just because there are too many guys who want to get ahead, the people will always suffer." ”
Although Tan Fengyi despises Wen Qihang's statement, it is undeniable that it is because everyone wants to make a career that the battle in this world will never end.
The first thing he did when he set sail to the Dali Temple Office was to lie on top of the case and make up for the lack of sleep. As a night owl in the future, the time is just the time to enter the sweet dream.
Guanlou Village is more than 50 miles away from Jingshi, it takes half an hour to ride a horse and gallop, in order to catch up with the three quarters of the hour, Wen Qihang was forced to get up and rush on the third watch day, after all, in the night, for the sake of safety, it is impossible to ride a horse and gallop, only to slow down.
"Wake up, someone wants to see you." I didn't sleep for a long time, and I heard someone next to me reminding me.
"Let me sleep a little longer, don't disturb me." Sleepy, he muttered impatiently.
Seeing that Qihang didn't plan to get up, he actually adjusted his sleeping position to make himself sleep more comfortable, Tan Fengyi said angrily: "If you don't get up again, this pot of tea will be poured on your head."
Hearing Tan Fengyi's threat, Wen Qihang sighed in his heart, so he had to get up, rub his hands vigorously on his face, and then stretched his waist to give himself a lift, ready to meet the uninteresting official.
"Whoever wants to see me, let him in." Wen Qihang said with a hint of getting up. Although he was a little annoyed in his heart, he could only sprinkle it elsewhere, and Wen Qihang fully believed that if he didn't get up again, Tan Fengyi would definitely splash himself like a flower.
Seeing and hearing that Qihang finally woke up, Tan Fengyi signaled to a student who had been guarding the door of the hall and asked the official to come in and see.
"Xiaguan Dou Yi, I've seen Lord Wen." At the head of the hall, Dou Yi bowed his hand and said.
"Something to report, nothing to retreat." Wen Qihang yawned and said with sleepy eyes.
Hearing Wen Qihang's general official words, Dou Yi's expression was stunned. In the past, he had heard all kinds of outrageous behaviors of Wen Qihang, but now he really understood it. Sleeping and sleeping into this virtue, speaking has not been taboo, it is also really rare, if the word is said to be the word of the dynasty, it is estimated that tomorrow's speech official, will smell the flight into a sieve.
Seeing Dou Yi standing under the first stunned, he didn't speak for a long time, and he was annoyed when he smelled Qihang: "Dou Guanren, it's not Benjue who criticizes you, time is precious." There is a famous saying, have you heard of it, time is life, so wasting other people's time is tantamount to killing people for money. ”
Hearing Wen Qihang's shameless words, Dou Yi felt a burst of fire in her heart, who was wasting other people's time! Who's trying to kill for money! Ten days have passed since Wen Qihang was appointed as the compilation of the new law, and this damn Wen Qihang has never seen him show up except for the first time he first came to the government office, and he has never seen him show up again.
Dou Yi slandered in his heart, but said on his lips: "What Wen Jue said is that it is really wrong to waste time, so the lower official came this time in the hope that Wen Jue will order the compilation of the new laws of the national dynasty from now on." ”
"Okay, let's get started." Wen Qihang nodded.
"That's like this, the compilation of the new law of this dynasty, after all, is a big event, so before the editing, we still have to hold some simple ceremonies, I don't know when Wenjue will be able to preside over the opening ceremony of the new law." Seeing and hearing that setting sail is a mallet, Dou Yi reminded carefully.
"Dou Guanren, you must know that pragmatism is very important, don't engage in some flashy ceremonies, we had better save now, now that the country is newly established, the treasury is tight, we still don't add difficulties to the imperial court. If we have the money to do a ritual, we might as well buy more pens, ink, and paper and fix the new Vinaya, which is much better than doing all the work. Wen Qihang criticized earnestly.
"Yes, what Wen Jue said is that Xia Guan understands." Dou Yi held his breath in his heart. I don't know if this damn Wen Qihang really doesn't understand or fake I don't understand, holding a ceremony is not only symbolic, the key is that you can give the officials below to run errands, seek some small benefits, if it is canceled, only with that little money, how to support the family.
"You understand, of course Benjue also understands, go and tell those subordinates, don't do any tricks, working hard is their only way out, so these messy and flashy ceremonies will be canceled from today, but Benjue will ask His Majesty to double it." Wen Qihang said.
"Thank you, Lord Wen." The corners of Dou Yi's mouth twitched slightly. Now that Wen Qihang understands the inner feelings, Dou Yi does not intend to continue to insist.
"Dou Guanren, do you have anything else?" Seeing that Dou Yi had no intention of leaving, Wen Qihang asked.
"Now that you have simplified all matters, I wonder where we should start with the compilation of this new law?" Dou Yi asked.
"Let's start with the general outline and list the ten most critical ones." Wen Qihang said.
"It's just ten?" Dou Yi was surprised. At present, there are 12 general laws and 30 volumes of the "Tang Laws and Regulations", and there are as many as 1,000 articles in various criminal law systems, but the heaviest criminal law, that is, what people often call the most heinous crimes, has 10 items.
"Ten is a lot, just these ten, I don't know if His Majesty can pass it!" Wen Qihang sighed.
"Please forgive the official for being stupid, can you please ask Lord Wen to make it clear?" Dou Yi wondered.
Wen Qihang sighed and said: "September's post-sealing ceremony is about to be held, and His Majesty will definitely give amnesty to the world, and this lord hopes to use this post-sealing ceremony to seek some benefits for the people of the world." After all, our new law will be compiled, and it will not be completed in a few years, so we must start to implement each article and each item step by step, and every time we implement one item as soon as possible, the people will benefit from it, which is related to the well-being of the people, and we must not neglect it. ”
"Wen Jue Gaoyi, the lower officials admire, but the new law has not been completed, and it is implemented one by one, there is no precedent in ancient times, how can this convince Your Majesty?" Dou Yi was surprised.
"Whether it succeeds or not, it's Benjue's business." Wen Qihang smiled.
"Please Wen Jue, let's start with those ten articles?" Dou Yi asked.
Wen Qihang said in a deep voice: "First: the death penalty is thirty-six, which is redefined into two types: hanging and beheading, abolishing the remaining thirty-four, except for the heinous felony applicable to beheading, the rest will be hanged." Second: torture to interrogate confessions, prohibiting the mutilation of the suspect's body. Third, the commercial law is uniform, separated from the criminal law, and is a separate volume.
Tenth: Disputes over civil interests should be made into separate laws, and all prohibitions on national and Korean dynasties should be relaxed, and private goods should be allowed to be priced freely. ”
Smelling the sound of setting sail, it was like a thunderous empowerment, resounding above the hall, and Dou Yi, who was standing at the bottom, listened to it with a completely sluggish expression.
There are only ten laws in the so-called, and each of these articles can already be made into separate laws, involving criminal law, commercial law, civil law, politics and law, etc., breaking the unified form of all laws in China for thousands of years, and making more detailed provisions for it.
Once this is done, the judge's right to decide the case will be strictly restricted, and there will never be a single law that can be interpreted in many ways according to the level of the judge.
"Wenjue, such a law has never existed in ancient and modern times, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the lower officials to complete it." Dou Yi was shocked.
The laws of the past and present have been extremely perfect since the development of the former Tang Dynasty, but according to the current idea of Wen Qihang, this new edition of the law not only has a general outline, but also a classification, and the sub-chapters of the previous laws are separated into separate laws and detailed provisions, so that to the greatest extent, some unjust, false and wrongful cases caused by people will be eliminated.
"It's up to people, Dou Guanren, you must have confidence, I'm optimistic about you!" Wen Qihang smiled.
