Chapter Ninety-Five: Rule of Law
The rest is simple. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ First of all, he asked Yang Han, Wang Xu and several senior generals of the Sixth Army to be tied up, and then ordered the Sixth Army and several private soldiers to gather in the compound and wait for the reorganization. The method of reorganization is in accordance with what Ji Yan and Li Gui have agreed on a long time ago.
First of all, the cavalry was selected by Wei Yan. Most of the war horses are fat and strong, much better than the original war horses of the forbidden army, and the knights are also the strongest men in the forbidden army and private soldiers.
When he first arrived at the forbidden army as a general, Ji Yan told him that he would grow the forbidden army into a reorganized army in the future, and at that time he thought that this was just a beautiful idea of the Son of Heaven, and he really wanted to do it, but he didn't know about the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. Unexpectedly, in just the past month, the forbidden army had 4,000 people, and all of them were cavalry, which made him secretly amazed, and he admired this young son of heaven even more.
All the cavalry left behind was given to Li Sui, and the rest of the foot soldiers were divided between Ji Che and Li Sui.
The non-commissioned officers assigned to the Second Army couldn't help but be shocked when they saw that their chief officer was actually a hairy young man, and everyone began to talk about it, and some said that this person was probably some relative of the Son of Heaven, and he had only reached such a high position by nepotism; Some say that the Son of Heaven probably didn't trust his own team that followed Ji Jing's rebellion, so he sent a child to disgust us.
Coincidentally, Jiang Juan was actually assigned to the Second Army, and when he met his top boss, he found out that this person was not the one who pretended to find his war horse, and then pretended that the war horse was out of control and grabbed Si Kou? I couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and forgot to visit the shrine for a while.
Li Sui looked at him and said with a smile: "Lvshuai Jiang, when you see your boss, you don't worship, is it because the general of this army has arrested your maternal uncle, so you have a grudge?" β
"The last general will see the general!" Jiang Juan hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Ji Jing is crazy, he actually wants to usurp power and seize the throne, such a thief, everyone will be punished." Although he is the last general's maternal uncle, the last general also hates him. β
Li Sui shook his head and said, "No matter what, he is your maternal uncle." The reason why you have not been punished is because of the mercy of the Son of Heaven, so you can do it yourself in the future! β
"No!" Jiang Juan hurriedly responded, and then added: "In the future, I will have to be carried by the general!" I don't know the position of the last general......"
"The two of us are also old friends, for you, the impression of this general is still good, and the most important thing is to be able to maintain your own soldiers. You can continue to be a brigade commander, and whether you can continue to do it depends on your own creation. The army's requirements for his generals: orders and prohibitions, such as arms and fingers. Remember! β
"No!" Jiang Juan was overjoyed: "The last general will definitely work hard to do it." The last general still has some prestige among these soldiers, and if the general has any instructions, the last general can convey them on his behalf. β
"Good!" Li Sui was also quite excited, with this general who was familiar with these soldiers, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
After several hours of busyness, everything was arranged, and Ji Yan asked several main generals to go back with the team, and Li Gui was responsible for the specific arrangements. He himself took Yan Shu and Chen Peng to the hall of the Qiu Guanfu.
After the three of them sat down with dignity, Ji Yan looked at Chen Peng and said, "Chen Aiqing, you will be the supreme official of the Qiuguan Mansion in the future, what do you think?" β
Chen Peng is in his forties, with a square face with Chinese characters, the outline is as hard as iron, and there are two deep nasolabial folds on both sides of the straight nose bridge. Unlike the previous Si Kou Ji Jing who had a hint of a smile on his face at all times, he always had a black face, and he looked quite like an iron-faced judge.
Hearing the Son of Heaven's question, he respectfully bowed his hand and said: "Enlighten my king, Weichen has always advocated the rule of law. β
"Oh?" Ji Yan's eyes lit up, he had never heard anyone mention such a statement since he came here: "Tell me, how to rule people by law?" β
"In this regard, Weichen first recommended Li Kui of Wei and Shang Yang of Qin; As for South Korea's Shin Bu Harm, although it is not bad, but his decree is mixed with too many power tricks, so it is not enough. Chen Peng said slowly: "Li Kui and Shang Ying not only formulated perfect decrees, but more importantly, they promulgated these decrees to the world, and sent officials to explain the content of the decrees to the people, so that the people could clearly understand the decrees, respect the law and make progress, and soon make the country strong." β
"Therefore, if you want to rule people by law, the first thing is to make a clear order, the second is to announce it to the world, the second is to make people understand, and the last is to force it." Chen Peng's face was full of red light when he said this, and his excitement was beyond words. He had already had an idea about this set, but he had been pressed by Ji Jing and couldn't realize it, and now he can say it in front of the Son of Heaven and have the opportunity to realize it, so he is naturally extremely excited.
Ji Yan silently muttered in his heart: There is a law to follow, there is a law to follow, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be investigated, it seems that someone has understood this truth thousands of years ago and put it into practice. Ancient and modern legal system, its reason is also the same, but it is a pity that the later imperial power system in order to maintain the supremacy of imperial power, the concept of the legal system was buried!
"Humph!" Yan Shu scoffed at Chen Peng's statement: "I heard that the ancestors governed the world, were idle with righteousness, corrected with government, acted with courtesy, kept with faith, and served with benevolence." Therefore, he edifies all the people with sages, discerns right and wrong with hundreds of officials, and whips lawlessness with officials. This is the best rule of law. Everything has already been precedent, so why do you need to make a big deal about making laws? β
Ji Yanzheng applauded Chen Peng's statement, but he was immediately poured a basin of cold water by Yan Shuo, and couldn't help frowning at him, and was about to say something, but Chen Peng spoke again: "The ancestors ruled people by relying on sages, officials, officials, etc., when did you rule people by law?" β
"Don't you have to enforce your decree when you make it?" Yan retorted.
Chen Peng nodded: "Of course, all laws and regulations have to be enforced, but there is a difference in this 'execution'. If the punishment can be expressly ordered, the executor only needs to convict and punish the offender in accordance with the provisions; If there is no explicit punishment, what basis should the executor be convicted and punished? β
Yan Shu said coldly: "Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and honesty, which one is not the criterion for the behavior of the subjects?" β
"A good one who is loyal, filial, benevolent, courteous, righteous and honest." Chen Peng unceremoniously retorted: "These things are all big and empty, and if they really want to be used as a criterion for law enforcement, everything is between the likes and dislikes of the executor." If the executor is merciful, the punishment will be lenient. If the executor is ruthless, the punishment will be severe, and the result of the two is very different. This is the so-called 'criterion' of the prime minister? β
Yan Shu pondered for a moment: "Even if the excellent qualities admired by these ancestors are difficult to use as the basis for law enforcement, King Mu ordered LΓΌ Hou to write the "LΓΌ Punishment", in which nine kinds of punishments were formulated; Zhou Gong made "Zhou Li", in which the "Simin" chapter stipulates various punishments and enforcement methods. These two classics can't be used for the law enforcement of your Qiu Official Mansion? β
Chen Peng said without thinking: "The "Lu Xing" is a heavy punishment and a light law, and basically does not involve the provisions of laws and regulations, which is really difficult to use as a criterion for law enforcement; Although there are some clauses in "Simin", it still seems rough and empty, and when the officials of the Qiu Guanfu convict the crime, they still can't get rid of their own likes and dislikes, or too light, or too heavy, in short, it is difficult to agree; Those who can really rule people by law have to count the "Book of Law" of Wei and the "Book of Shang Jun" of Qin. β
Yan Shu's old face was slightly red and excited, he looked at Chen Peng mockingly, and said for a while before he said: "Our Great Zhou is the suzerain of the world, Si Kou doesn't think about how to push the Zhou decree to the world, but respects the barbaric and rude decree of the two vassal states, the old man thinks that this is really not the work of the Great Zhou courtiers!" β
Ji Yan was amused in his heart, the old man was in a hurry and was about to give someone a line.
