CHAPTER XXVIII
Meng Zhengyu did have a reason to be anxious. Seven Ao Five Ao or three Ao and one Ao are just a struggle for power and profit between the nobles, and the interests of the nobles and the common people need to be balanced. He also disagreed with the defeat of the local division and the retreat to Yingdu, he always felt that the public clan would abuse the common people, this kind of thing has existed before, there is now, and there will be more in the future.
"Instead of deliberating on the law, it is better to consult on kingship." Zhao Huang Road. "The minister thinks that the king should still be called the king, not the king. Called Da Ao, the ministers and other common people all felt uncomfortable. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." Narusuke and others also said. The king changed to Da Ao, and he is really not used to it.
"The minister also proposed that the king have the right to dismiss Qiao." Zhao Huang said again, he can be regarded as an inch.
"The king can stop seven Ao, but the Zheng Dynasty will push seven more people, and the king will stop again, and the cycle will start again, how to deal with state affairs?" Shen Yinyi asked.
"Three declines and exhaustion, the minister thinks that the king can strike Qiao no more than three times a year." Zhao Huang thought for a moment before saying.
"If you are single-mindedly elected, what can you do if you strike three times?" Cai Wen smiled, and after he laughed, he said, "The minister has no objection." ”
"The minister also proposed that the power of war and peace belong to the king, not to Qiao." Zhao Huang came up with another proposal.
"I don't think it's appropriate." Seisuke spoke up immediately. "If the king fights with other countries every year, what should the clans do?"
"Is the king a warlike man?" Zi Mo sneered at each other. "On the contrary, if the name of the Ao clan is warlike, it is often mentioned."
"You!" The last time Yi Su scolded Cheng Jie for being 'Ruo Ao's remnants', Cheng Jie was very unhappy, although Zi Mo did not mention the word 'remnants', but his contempt for Ruo Ao soaked his words, Cheng Jie wanted to be angry but couldn't find any truth.
"The minister thinks that it is his own right to fight or not." Cai Wen said with a smile. "For example, Ling Yin, if he wants to fight with people, then he will lead the division to fight with people, and the rest of the counties will go, and if they don't want to, they won't go."
"How about ordering Yin to attack the Qin people?" Nao Wei disagreed with Cai Wen's statement.
"If the Chengyang Dou Clan is willing to let the Xishi cross, why not?" Cai Wen still laughed. "It should be the right of each clan to hang the people. If the clans are not allowed to hang the people and fight for crimes, how can they allow the tenth generation to take revenge? ”
"Reasonable." Cheng Jie nodded, and the cunning here couldn't help but nod.
"If you want to attack other countries, it should be decided by the Zheng Dynasty, according to the king's previous words, the Zheng Dynasty has two of the three, and it should be warned; If you don't have it, you will fight with the clan who wants to fight, and you will be responsible for victory or defeat. "Cai Wendao." And so it is. If the three dynasties have two of them, they should make peace with them, and if they can't, they have to do the strategy of the previous battle. ”
"Where did you put the king?" Zhao Huang asked, he had wanted to help Xiong Jing get the right to war and peace.
"If the king wants to fight, he can go out of the division to sanitate; If you want to make peace, you can stop Qiao. "Cai Wen is not leaking. When Zhao Huang wanted to fight again, he was stopped by Xiong Jing.
"What to do with the king?" Xiong Jing basically didn't speak, because the matter would involve Wang Shu, and he had to speak.
"The king has many honorable soldiers, and he should have been sealed in various places, and the ministers thought that there were private pawns, and the king's pawn should not be there again." Cheng Jiedao.
"The king has been established for hundreds of years, how can it be said that there is no such thing?" Zi Mo was angry, his expression was very angry.
"The king's pawns are all over the counties and towns, and once the elite pawns are gone, how can the private pawns fight??" Cheng Jiezhi Chen Wang Pawn harm, since the establishment of Wang Pawn, this problem has always existed.
"In this case, sanitation should not be left behind?" Xiong Jing said the opposite.
"Five thousand sanitation, there are still 1,500 East Palace armor, and the ministers think it is too much." Seisuke didn't care about the situation at all and was outspoken.
"How much does Cheng Qing think is appropriate?" Xiong Jing smiled.
"I think 2,000 is enough." Cheng Jiedao. "If the king really wants to build a private pawn, he should not take away the elite of the private pawn."
"Rude!" Zi Mo scolded angrily. "If there is no sanitation palace armor, Jinghua will have succeeded one day."
"If there is no sanitation palace armor, there should be a Yingdu armor." Narusuke retorted. "How can the Ao be guarded by other clansmen?"
Cheng Jie's words opened up the shortcomings of the Xiong family, and in order not to fight for power, the descendants of the Xiong family continued to divide them. As a result, Xiong's will always be a lone seedling. I didn't think it before, but now that I have built a private pawn, I realized that my strength was so weak.
"That makes sense." Xiong Jing had to nod, he now had no other brother to rely on except for a younger brother who often peed his pants. "I don't think it's better to call Da Ao."
"The King." Zhao Huang didn't expect Xiong Jing to agree to Chengjie first.
"Cheng Qing's words are indeed reasonable." Xiong Jing is very serious. He's already thinking about how he can change that. "No, after the war, the king was first sealed in Lu, and the rest returned home and joined the private pawns. The same is true for sanitation. ”
"The king shall not." Nao Cunning, Zhao Huang and others said together. "If there is no sanitation, how can the palace be guarded?"
"Master Ying." Xiong Jing said, he thinks it's better to use his own people.
"How can the lowly people enter and leave the palace?" Even Song Yu wanted to speak out against it, Zhao Huang sighed.
"There are 300,000 or 400,000 people in Yingdu, and there are always people with high moral character." Xiong Jing said, and suddenly there was a feeling of discomfort here. "If you can't protect yourself, how can you be the king of Chu? Who said that the people of the temple in the palace and the erector can't fight? Don't persuade Qing and others, but your mind has been decided, after this battle, the king's pawn, sanitation, and those whose homes are not in Yingdu will all return to their hometowns. ”
Xiong Jing quickly finished speaking, and then asked urgently: "What else is there to discuss, if not, then discuss the law." ”
"The minister thinks that he should discuss the law." Meng Zhengyu waited for a long time, and finally it was his turn. "What the king said about the unwritten law before the king of Wu, but also. But these unwritten laws are only passed on to nobles and village elders. Deliberations are based on the system, not for punishment, and the common people do not know the law. ”
"Snort." Seisuke smiled. "If the common people also know the law, what is the authority of the law? This is one of them; Second, everyone says that the murderer dies, but the murderer kills for the revenge of his parents, not only does he not die, but he is not guilty. The law should be punished on the spot, how can it be speculative and arbitrary? ”
"First, the nobles know the law but the common people don't know the law, if they are bullied, how can the common people exist?" As soon as Meng Zhengyu said the Fa, he went to the battlefield like a soldier, and his fighting spirit was high. "Second, killing people is indeed different, if you can make it different throughout the book, so that nothing is missing, why not?"
"You are wiser than the saints, and the saints still do not know things, but you can read different books without worry." Shen Yinyi smiled.
"What do you want?" Xiong Jing looked at Meng Zhengyu.
"The ministers think about it day by day, and still think that the written law should be carried out, so that the people know the law, so that the nobles do not deceive the people." Mengzheng Bird Road.
"Why can't unfinished laws be printed, and can't some precedents be cited?" Xiong Jing looked at him strangely.
"The precedents are cumbersome, how can the common people read through them?" Mengzheng Bird Road.
"You're cutting your feet." All the people sitting here are nobles, the law is the power of the nobles, and it was taken away by the king after the kingship, and then the king's words are the law, and they are written out one by one without the consent of the nobles, and no one is allowed to violate them. "If you want to be simple, the word "death" is enough."
"If you're still not at ease, don't make up your mind." Xiong Jing thought and thought about it, and said.
"Please advise the King." Meng Zhengyu hurriedly looked at Xiong Jing.
"Since the county divisions have been abolished, when the case is decided, they can defend themselves on behalf of the guilty, and then ask the village elders to observe, if the village elders are guilty, they are guilty, and the village elders are not guilty." There were litigators in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the famous Deng Xi is recognized as the ancestor.
"How can the common people have the money to hire a lawyer?" Meng Zhengyu was still disappointed after hearing this, except for inviting the village elders to observe, it was not feasible to invite a lawyer.
"Out of the tribute." Xiong Jing said angrily, the tribute was given to him by the counties, which was equivalent to his money.
"King Xie." Meng Zhengyu thanked him, but his face was not happy, and he still felt that it was inappropriate to contract out the judicial power.
He was not at ease, Xiong Jing was actually a little worried, so he said again: "Zuo Yin's Mansion is not legally bound into a book, and the judgment is not set in the county government, but in the courtroom. Those who fail to pass the Zuo Yin Fu examination have no right to judge the case......"
"Great King," everyone didn't care about the law, and they always felt that it was a trivial matter, and now when they heard Xiong Jing say that 'those who fail the Zuo Yin Mansion exam have no right to judge the case', they naturally disagree. "Those who fail to pass the Zuo Yin Mansion exam have no right to judge the case and have no right to judge the case, if anyone tells ......"
"After the case is decided, several village elders are invited to observe, and after asking the reason, both sides argue, and presenting witness evidence, the village elders will discuss their crimes." Xiong Jing Road. He never thought about what kind of legal system he wanted to build in the Chu State, but the legal system was a necessity for a country. "A person who adjudicates a case has no right to decide a case if he does not pass the examination for defeat, and a lawyer has no right to defend a case if he does not pass the examination for a lawyer. Furthermore, the sinner shall not be executed until he has been convicted. ”
"If it is not a major case, it must not be executed before conviction." Meng Zhengyu muttered, Zuo Yin's Mansion didn't have a killing stick.
"If this policy is followed, the foreign court may not want it." Xiang Que said after hearing this. He didn't care much about the judicial power contracted to the counties, but he hated the foreign dynasty formed by the countrymen.
"Once the foreign dynasty is opened, how can it be abolished?" The outer dynasty has shrunk into a regular dynasty, and neither side of the original fierce competition wants to set up another outer dynasty composed of ordinary people, only Song Yu said a word.
"If the county is open to foreign courts, it is extremely inconvenient." Xiang Que said again.
"If you don't open the court, you have no objections?" Zi Mo smiled. "It's okay to contract and divide power in Yingdu, but it's not okay for the common people to open a foreign court?"
"Please, the king." Chengsuke sulked, and his attitude was self-explanatory.
"He who sheds blood deserves power." Xiong Jing has only one reason in his heart. "If you have power, you should speak up. The outer court is the place where the voice is spoken, and if you don't open the outer court, how can you speak? You can't go to the door of the road to beat the drum and write big characters on the slander wood, right? Who fought the battle, who pulled out the city, and who expanded the land, Zhu Qing knew it in his heart. The aristocracy eats meat, and the armor should always drink soup. ”
"If the people of the country revolt, it will be bad for the king." Cai Wen naturally remembered King Zhou Li of Taiyuan, after the Chinese rioted, he fled to Yidi in a hurry, and finally died in Yidi.
"Is it bad for you, or is it bad for the secretary and others?" Xiong Jing asked. The Outer Dynasty still played a role in restraining the county Gongyi Yin, especially the Outer Dynasty composed of Jiashi.
