Chapter 219: Guilty Pleas [Two in One]
Qin Gong's tone couldn't tell how angry he was, on the contrary, he was more or less funny, and even Han Kui, who was standing silently on the side, heard this, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself.
I don't know why, after leading Jiangxia's civil and military affairs for a long time, Lin Yuyan is also extremely uncomfortable with this kind of posture at the moment, obviously he doesn't want to do this, but he still does this, it's really unpleasant!
"The crime that the son wants to defend is the conflict between Ji Zhou's old rites and the new law of Daqin, and I ask the monarch to learn from it!" Lin Yuyan said seriously.
Hearing this, Qin Gong and Han Kui also seemed to be interested, Qin Gong looked at Lin Yuyan, and stretched out his hand to signal Lin Yuyan to continue.
"His Royal Highness Yan just said." Han Kui also reminded on the side.
Lin Yuyan straightened his face and said: "Now the etiquette laws of Daqin are different, some of the behaviors of the sons are in line with the old rites of Ji Zhou, but they are not in line with the new laws of the Great Qin, and vice versa, they violate the old rites of Ji Zhou, but they are in line with the new laws of the Great Qin, so the sons and daughters also don't know that some things are right, in line with the new laws of the Great Qin, but they are in violation of the old rites of Ji Zhou. ”
Cunning boy! 〗
When Qin Gong heard this, he scolded angrily in his heart, but he still said righteously: "Ji Zhou's old rite is still the new law of Great Qin, Han Qing is everyone, since the lonely sixth son has doubts, he will talk to Han Qing." ”
Qin Gongshun pushed this matter to Han Kui, and it happened that Han Kui was also extremely concerned about what Gongzi Yan said, "Great Qin's etiquette and law are not the same", so Han Kui also looked at Lin Yuyan and said, "His Royal Highness Yan said that it is okay!" ”
Lin Yuyan looked at Han Kui, who is now the minister of state in Daqin, looks different from when he was in Shanglin Yuan, and now he looks very noble.
Sure enough, people rely on clothes!
"I want to ask Han Xiang, is it Jiangxia's county guard or Jiangxia's feudal monarch that my father has granted me?"
"Naturally, it's Jiangxia's county guard!" Han Kui responded.
"Since it is the county guard of Daqin, may I ask Han Xiang, does Daqin have a criminal law for officials?"
Although Han Kui believes that "courtesy is inferior to the common people, and punishment is not to the doctor" is a pedantic concept, in fact, in the formulation of the criminal law of Daqin, Han Kui only generally classified officials as the same as civilians, but in fact, the criminal law regulations that officials have access to are far from comparable to ordinary people.
Han Kui also told the truth: "Yes, in the new law of Great Qin, officials are guilty of the same crime as the common people, but above the officials, it is not a criminal law that is forcibly prohibited!" ”
"Then is there a ban on the officials of Great Qin such as us to return to the Great Qin capital without an edict during their term of office?" Lin Yuyan asked again.
Han Kui shook his head and said, "No. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan said: "I wonder if Han Xiang knows that [the law does not prohibit it]? ”
"If the law does not prohibit it, you can ......" Han Kui muttered twice, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Qin Gong on the side was also silent, but the surprise in his heart was not stopped, and it was able to make Han Kui, who was quick in thought, fall into contemplation, and it was just because of a sentence that Qin Gong looked at his sixth son, and it was difficult to say it for a while!
Who knows, Qin Gong originally wanted to keep silent and "sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight", but he didn't expect that when the sixth son saw Han Kui thinking, he actually looked directly at himself and asked: "Father, you can do it if the law does not prohibit it, therefore, the son thinks that he is not guilty!" ”
"Not Guilty......
In an instant, Han Kui also let go of his thoughts, and said in his heart that he was really too serious, and he was actually distracted by Gongzi Yan's words, which made Qin Gong fall into a situation where he had to answer.
Seeing that Han Kui couldn't count on it, Gong Qin had no choice but to smile and say, "Lonely...... When is it time to hold you accountable! ”
Seeing the monarch say this, Lin Yuyan also exhaled slowly, to be honest, Han Kui values the law but does not strictly enforce the law, if he is meeting those legalist characters who "use a feather duster as a token", maybe he will really kill himself to set an example for the monkey to set an example!
Just be innocent! 〗
Lin Yuyan continued to look back at Han Kui and said, "Han Xiang has figured out that the law is not prohibited, can it be done? ”
Hearing this, Han Kui was stunned, originally thought that this was just a pretext, and it sounded very joking, but he didn't expect that Gongzi Yan would actually come back to this sentence after his goal was successful.
"If the law does not prohibit it, it can be ......" Han Kui's thoughts turned in a thousand ways, and he always felt that he couldn't figure out what Gongzi Yan meant by saying this at this time.
"I heard that the Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea implemented the city order system of the former Prime Minister of the State in Nanyang, so Yan might as well ask the Prime Minister Han for advice."
Han Kui stretched out his wide sleeves and motioned to Lin Yuyan to continue: "But it's okay to say it!" ”
Lin Yuyan said: "Nanyang counties set up the law, the implementation of the new law of the Great Qin, to determine the behavior of a county, regardless of the Confucian [relatives and hidden], it is assumed that the law selected by Han Xiang is a righteous and selfless person, if a county law is a crime committed by relatives and friends, but this is not a crime such as murder, robbery and theft, but a crime that cannot be taken out of the current Daqin criminal law, it is precisely because of this, Han Xiang thinks that a county law should be sentenced to a crime? ”
When it comes to the core issue of Legalism, although Lin Yuyan said it very simply, Qin Gong, who is not familiar with Legalism, listened to it in the clouds, but Han Kui realized something, it was precisely because Han Kui had been a local official for a long time, so he knew what Lin Yuyan meant by "not a crime in Qin's law", but for a while, he couldn't say the answer that satisfied him.
Lin Yuyan was not in a hurry to urge, he was also testing Han Kui's Legalist thoughts, what they were like.
Who knew that after a few breaths, Han Kui shook his head with a smile and said to Lin Yuyan: "Please also ask Your Highness to tell me, how should the criminal prisoner be sentenced in this matter?" ”
Hearing this, when he saw Han Kui pushing the ball on his body, he didn't refuse, and said directly: "If a certain verdict comes, it will be a verdict that acquits the person who committed the crime!" ”
"How can a man who has sinned be acquitted!" It was Qin Gong who spoke, and I saw that he was scolding Lin Yuyan, and he was scolding him for "insinuating that the law chosen by Han Kui is a corrupt official".
Who knew that Han Kui surprisingly stopped Duke Qin's anger and said: "Your Excellency, don't be impatient, Kui thinks that Gongzi Yan must have his own explanation!" ”
Hearing this, Qin Gong's face softened, looked at Lin Yuyan and said: "Then you can tell me why he was not guilty, if you can't say why, Gu Ke will punish you well!" ”
Lin Yuyan was not intimidated by Duke Qin's seemingly harsh and angry words, but took a step forward and asked Han Kui, "Please also tell Han Xiang, what is the duty of the law and righteousness?" ”
Han Kui said: "Deal with the criminal name and prison lawsuit in a county, and implement the Qin law!" ”
"Is it possible to overstep my authority?" Lin Yuyan asked again.
"Each county has three county lieutenants, each performing its own duties, which is naturally to guard against overstepping authority!" Han Kui replied.
"It is precisely because of this that the basis for the punishment of the prisoner is not his own arbitrary, but the judgment is based on the Qin law, if the law of Daqin does not stipulate the charges and means of sentencing the prisoner, this law is righteous and selfless, but the crime is relatives and friends, at this time, it may as well be the two results of the choice, thinking that this crime is not a crime, so the big thing is turned into a small matter......
"However, Han Xiangtuo thinks that the law of the criminal law of a county is correct, and Yan also believes that he is a righteous and selfless person, precisely because of this, in order to avoid suspicion and punish prisoners, most of them will choose the second result, that is, severely punish prisoners, even minor crimes, and punish them with the most stringent criminal law!"
"So......" Han Kui looked at Lin Yuyan and said, "Your Highness will choose the first one, and turn big things into small things?!" ”
"Does Hanzi think it's possible?" Han Kui asked rhetorically, and then mentioned the key point again, and said: "There are so many crimes in the world, the righteous and selfless and reputation-loving law, the heavy punishment of minor crimes, and the concealment of relatives and friends are all human nature, Han Xiang, you say, how can they make a judgment that is in line with Qin Law!" ”
Han Kui was speechless, this kind of question was caught off guard, especially the topic, Han Kui had never thought about such a question at all.
Even Duke Qin, who was sitting on the throne, watched the debate between the two in the audience, staring at each other, and finally glanced at Gao Jin beside him, who was also staring at Han Kui and Lin Yuyan, stunned...... Seeing this, Qin Gong was a little speechless, and Qin Gong was also quite surprised by Lin Yuyan's performance.
Han Kui fell into deep thought, and he was simply puzzled!
In the end, Han Kui had to put down his posture, looked at Lin Yuyan and asked, "Please also ask Your Highness to tell me clearly!" ”
"This ......" Duke Qin and Gao Jin glanced at each other, but they really didn't expect Han Kui to put on a "humbly ask for advice" etiquette.
Could it be that Gu Liuzi is really a virtuous person who is not weaker than Han Qing! 〗
Qin Gong also suddenly had this idea in his heart.
Lin Yuyan also didn't expect that Han Kui actually put on a disciple etiquette of "humbly seeking advice", and he was secretly surprised in his heart, but he also knew that Han Kui's firm heart of yearning for the way of the Legalist had exceeded Lin Yuyan's imagination.
Therefore, Lin Yuyan helped Han Kui up his arm, and Lin Yuyan continued: "This is very simple, as long as Han Xiang writes at the beginning of the new law of Daqin [If the law is not prohibited, it can be done, and if the law is not authorized, it will be prohibited]!" ”
"If the law does not prohibit it, it can be done, and if the law does not authorize it, it prohibits ......"
Han Kui only felt that when he heard this sentence again, it was like Hong Zhong Dalu, deafening!
After Han Kui lost his mind for a short time, he saluted Lin Yuyan again: "Kui has been taught!" ”
Han Kui accepted the meaning of these words in just a few breaths, which was really unexpected by Lin Yuyan, but when he remembered that Han Kui was a talented countryman, he was also relieved.
"If the law does not prohibit it, it can be done, and if the law does not authorize it, it is prohibited......" Qin Gong also muttered this sentence, as if he understood this sentence, but he frowned, and always felt that there was still something missing.
Lin Yuyan and Han Kui's modesty made Qin Gong wake up like a dream.
Han Kui's teachable look made Qin Gong accustomed to seeing Han Kui talking and laughing, and he was very surprised when he talked about the general trend of the world, and then Qin Gong looked at his sixth son with surprised eyes, and suddenly felt that it seemed a bit condescending to send him to Jiangxia!
"Erchen is also worried that people with intentions will attack Erchen by taking advantage of the rash return to the capital, and now that he has heard that the monarch's father and Han Xiang have sentenced Erchen to not guilty, Erchen is relieved!" Lin Yuyan said comfortably.
"Not guilty?!" Qin Gong smiled and said, "When did Lone say that you were innocent?!" ”
Looking at his father's almost backsliding words, Lin Yuyan was also quite speechless!
I only heard Qin Gong say: "Regardless of your behavior of returning to Wancheng this time, let's talk about what you Jiangxia County did in Nanjun for the time being!" ”
Run riot?!
Lin Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Qin Gong's unkind face, and knew everything in an instant, it seems that the actions of Jiangxia Commercial Bank in Nanjun should have reached the ears of the monarch's father, but ...... I don't care about anything, if it is still a crime to return to Wancheng rashly, then Jiangxia Commercial Bank, Lin Yuyan asked himself, and he also has a clear conscience!
Han Kui heard Qin Gong mention the matter of Nanjun, and his face was also serious, after Fang Cai's [defense], to be honest, Han Kui had already understood the eloquence of this Gongzi Yan, although Jiangxia Commercial Bank in Nanjun to purchase grain can simply be described as "cannibalizing whale swallowing", but Han Kui did not dislike Jiangxia Commercial Bank's commercial methods.
In fact, there is another important reason, that is, Han Kui didn't believe that Qin Gong could convict this Gongzi Yan with his words!
Sure enough, Lin Yuyan's words did not have the slightest wave, and he asked Qin Gong, "The matter of Nanjun?" I don't know if the monarch wants to *** Xia Commercial Bank for normal trade, or is it still the son of the minister to promote the new currency in Daqin? Or is it wrong for the sons to make the people of Nanjun, who are rich in food, warm their clothes and have Qin coins? ”
It's really ...... 〗
Duke Qin also smiled bitterly in his heart, but the majesty on his face was not lost, and he said to Lin Yuyan: "If the Great Qin household is as opportunistic as your Jiangxia Commercial Bank, it will not be messed up!" ”
Lin Yuyan was not angry, because he knew that from the perspective of the monarch's father, he did have this kind of worry, but Lin Yuyan also had his own confidence to persuade the monarch's father, so he said with confidence: "It's messed up...... It is unknown whether the monarch's father's words are alarmist, but you might as well assume that if Daqin is Jiangxia and the other princes are Nanjun, I don't know if the monarch thinks Daqin will be messed up?! ”
"This ......" Qin Gong was once again speechless.
However, this point also reminded Han Kui that in just a moment of thinking, Han Kui understood the benefits that the "Jiangxia Commercial Bank" could bring, and he came out and said to Qin Gong: "Your Majesty, Gongzi Yan's plan is feasible!" ”
Seeing that Han Kui had already agreed, Gong Qin also recognized the interests of Jiangxia Commercial Bank from Lin Yuyan's words.
If Great Qin is like Jiangxia, the princes of the Central Plains are like Nanjun......
Qin Gong opened his lips, and instantly knew the value contained in it!
