"Uncle Wang, it seems that you don't support the widow either!" Tian Jian sighed softly, "I don't know when the goal of the cultivator has his field will be realized?" ”

Since ancient times, laws and regulations have been formulated by those in power, and there must be exploiters and exploited people in society, and it is formulated to protect the interests of those in power.

Even if it is superficially biased towards the lower classes, in fact, a closer examination will reveal that it fundamentally serves the upper classes.

Li Kui of Wei formulated the Book of Law in order to maintain and consolidate the rule of the feudal autocratic regime, and to use the law to protect the economic interests of the landlord class and suppress the resistance of the broad peasant class. All acts that endanger the feudal regime and infringe on the dignity of the monarch, such as stealing talismans, stealing seals, crossing the city, living in groups, and discussing state laws and regulations are regarded as serious crimes, and not only are they executed, but they are even razed to the countryside.

At the same time, those who discuss the laws and regulations of the state are severely punished, so as to ensure the implementation of policies and laws and the unity of thought.

In feudal criminal law, the use of thoughts and words to discuss crimes began with Li Kui's "Book of Laws".

The legal principle of "not intimacy with relatives, not special to the noble and lowly, and one break with the law" opposes the hierarchical privilege system of slave owners and nobles, advocates breaking the insurmountable boundary between etiquette and punishment, and stipulates that the prince will be flogged if he violates the law, the prime minister will be punished by accepting bribes, and the general will be executed if he accepts bribes. But at the same time, the "Book of Law" officially confirmed the feudal hierarchy, clearly stipulating that if there were princes in the doctor's house who enjoyed the utensils, they would be sentenced to the most serious clan punishment for the crime of 26 systems.

The "Book of Laws" also embodies the spirit of "heavy punishment and minor crimes", and the masses of the people must be severely suppressed for even the slightest rebellion or violation of the feudal order. For example, those who peep into the palace must have their feet amputated, and those who pick up relics on the road must have their toes broken. This spirit of heavy punishment and misdemeanor has always been pursued by Legalists, and it was further developed into the theory of "punishment above punishment" by Han Fei.

However, Li Kui did not punish for the sake of punishment, but relied on the coercive force of the law to promote the idea of changing the law, which served a certain political line and the needs of the class struggle. Therefore, the "severe punishment and strict law" expressed in the "Book of Laws" is completely based on state policy and the needs of the dictatorship of the landlord class as the criterion, otherwise it will not be possible to consolidate the feudal power.

When the feudal society was transformed like a monarchical society, the etiquette system of "courtesy is not inferior to the common people" promulgated by Zhou Gongdan was abolished, but at this time, the rising landlord class was the class maintained by the new law, and the rise of the private land system was to protect the legitimacy of the landlords.

In modern society, the working class has risen, and all the laws and regulations are biased in favor of the workers.

The old laws implemented by the Qi State today are the decrees to protect the nobility, which maintain the rule of the Qi State, but hinder the upward development of the Qi State.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't support the king, but that the king is too impatient." Tian Dan smiled indifferently and stroked Changran with his right hand.

A smile appeared at the corner of Tian Jian's mouth, "Uncle Wang, what do you think of the current situation in the world?" Where is the way to the rejuvenation of the Qi Kingdom? ”

The monarchs of the countries during the Warring States period were basically very virtuous at this time, unlike China in later generations, it was the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and in the Warring States Period, there was a crisis of destroying the country and exterminating the nation if they were not careful, and the sense of crisis was very strong.

Tian Dan said after a little hesitation: "Although the Qin State was annihilated by our country with 80,000 Qin troops, it was just a small loss for the Qin State, Qin is still the strongest among the countries, and after Qin is the Zhao State, since Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, Zhao Guotie rode invincible, there are virtuous ministers inside, and fierce generals outside, Zhao is not easy!"

The rest of the country has no worries either! “

"Where is the Qi Kingdom?" Tian Jian smiled faintly.

"Qi?" Tian Dan shook his head, "How to do the Qi Kingdom still has to be decided by the king, the old minister is already old." ”

"I'm afraid An Pingjun didn't learn from Confucius!" Tian Jian groaned.

......

Jimo, the southern capital of the Qi Kingdom.

Compared with Linzi, Jimo is obviously inferior, and the streets can only allow two horse-drawn carriages to gallop, and although the pedestrians are dense, they also look much rarer.

The old Tian Dong dragged the half-new black Qi clothes, followed by the large and small officials of Jimo wearing soap clothes, they were waiting for the arrival of a person respectfully at this time, the solemn atmosphere was a little depressing, but no one expressed dissatisfaction.

Several chariots slowly approached the front, the bronze carriage was pulled by four war horses, the handsome and tall guards wore armor, and walked slowly beside the sword, seeing that there were about a few hundred of them, the purple silk draped on the war horses floated gently with the breeze, and the seal embroidered with the word king was particularly eye-catching on the purple banner.

Tian Dong knew that the person he was waiting for was coming, the armor of these guards was rare, each one was worth at least 100 gold, and the heroic temperament was not comparable to the ordinary Qi army, this was the palace guard, the tall war horse covered in silk was different from those horses, and the vigorous posture was shining.

Not to mention the banner with the king's flag, who can not recognize the seal embroidered on it?

As the guards in front of them slowly moved, the extravagant and unusual Cheluan slowly appeared, the tall canopy shielded the scorching sun of the noon, and Tian Jian, who was sitting in the shade, sat upright.

Originally, he didn't want to do this, but Tian Dan said that this was etiquette, and etiquette should not be abolished!

"Doctor Jimo is the king!" Tian Dong led the officials up and down Jimo to bow one after another.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong established the five-capital system. Under the five-capital system, Guan Zhong divided the state of Qi into five regions, each of which was both an administrative and a military region. Each region has a metropolitan doctor who is in charge of military and political affairs within its jurisdiction.

Each of the five regions has a capital, which is the military and political center of the region, where the capital doctor works, and the capital Linzi is also the military and political center of the country. The five capitals of Qi are, Linzi (now the old Linzi in the east of Zibo, Shandong), and Jimo (now in the southeast of Pingdu, Shandong

Mo Old City), Ju (now Ju County, Shandong Province, east of Ju County, there is the ancient city of Ju Kingdom), Gaotang (now southeast of Gaotang, Shandong), and Pinglu (now Dongping, Shandong).

Unlike the six kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, and Yan, the state of Qi did not implement the county system in the newly expanded land, but always adhered to the five-capital system that had been implemented since the reign of Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong. Therefore, with the continuous increase of the land and population seized by the Qi State, the jurisdiction of the five capitals of the Qi State is also expanding and changing frequently, and the location of the capital has also been moved frequently, but the country of Qi has always been divided into five regions, and the capital has always been Linzi. Each of the five capitals of Qi had a standing army, called Jizhen, which was as famous as the standing army of Wei and the standing army of Qin at that time.
