In the midst of the hustle and bustle, it seems that time flies quickly, and Liu Hong hasn't felt what is going on, and it is time for the New Year.

Liu Hong is considered to be the new monarch who ascended the throne, and he will change the yuan after the New Year. This is traditional, and the year at the beginning of each era name is called the first year. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he generally had to change the name of the year, which was called "changing the yuan".

The same emperor can also be changed during his reign, such as Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who has four era names in history, Jianning, Xiping, Guanghe, and Zhongping. After the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that one emperor and one yuan were established, and it was possible to call the emperor by the year name. For example, the name of Ming Chengzu is Yongle, and Ming Chengzu is called Yongle Emperor.

The era name is a product of the original invention of ancient China, in addition to being used for the year, it also means praying for blessings, singing praises and changing the dynasty.

To be precise, the Chinese era began during the republican period of the Zhou Dynasty, between about 841 BC and 828 BC. The Zhou Dynasty clan summoned Mu Gong and Zhou Dinggong to govern together, and historians call it republican governance. However, the kings surnamed Ji of the Zhou Dynasty did not continue to be used. Therefore, the founding system of the real use of era names originated from Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty of China, and was used in the feudal dynasty of China for 2,000 years, until the last emperor of the Chinese Empire, Yuan Shikai, that is, Emperor Hongxian.

The era name was initiated when the new emperor ascended the throne in ancient China, and in order to distinguish the previous emperor, the new emperor gave a new era name according to his own thoughts. The era name, as the exclusive product of the Chinese emperor in the 5,000-year-old Chinese imperial era, can be used as a spiritual and cultural heritage in Chinese history in later generations, and still has a lot of merits, so Liu Hong is not disgusted with the era name.

However, during the Han Dynasty, the name of the yuan was changed at every turn, so that Liu Hong couldn't figure out which year was which year, which made Liu Hong quite distressed.

In ancient China, the chronology used the "Ganzhi Era Method", that is, the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches were combined separately, and every 60 years was a cycle, which Liu Hong did not want to change.

But in order to change the confusion of the era name, Liu Hong decided, although he still changed the yuan to Jianning. However, the year of the founding of the Han Dynasty was taken as the first year and the Han calendar was set. This year is the year 369 of the Han calendar, and it will be postponed in the future, and it will not be changed back and forth. Other changes in the era name or something, it depends on the emperor's preference.

Although Liu Hong has not been on the throne for a long time, he has changed a lot of things since he ascended the throne. Although the issue of setting the Han calendar has changed the tradition, it is a lot more convenient to use after all, and it has nothing to do with the interests of each family, no one will offend Liu Hong for this, so it was passed smoothly.

After the new monarch ascended the throne and changed the yuan, according to the tradition, he would have an amnesty for the world, but Liu Hong did not agree with this.

If you sin, you will be punished. Not to mention that this is very unfair to the victims, and even the effect of punishment and deterrence on the criminals has been greatly reduced.

You have an amnesty today, an amnesty tomorrow, especially in the Han Dynasty, look at the history books, the new monarch ascended the throne to be amnesty, give birth to a child, also have amnesty, even if there is a lunar eclipse, there is still an amnesty, so that the prisoner has no fear at all. Anyway, after going in, it won't take long to come out, who would be afraid. Therefore, Liu Hong felt that the poor law and order in the late Han Dynasty was largely due to frequent amnesties, which made criminals lose their fear.

But the new monarch's accession to the throne is a festive event after all, and Liu Hong can't force it to be canceled. Therefore, Liu Hong made a provision that in addition to the new monarch's accession to the throne in the future, that is, he can only encounter such a great joy as expanding the territory for thousands of miles, and then he can give amnesty to the world. If there were no such celebrations, there would be no need for this amnesty.

With this provision, the emperor in the future, in his lifetime, can only be amnesty once. After all, such a feat as expanding the territory for thousands of miles is not something that any emperor can encounter. However, if it is really possible to expand the territory, it is not too much to get an amnesty for such a thing that the whole country celebrates, and maybe it can make the criminals cherish their free life even more.

However, even if it is an amnesty for the world, Liu Hong also stipulates that there are three kinds of people who will not be amnestied.

Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are not forgiven, no matter in the past and present life, Liu Hong hates those corrupt officials. Especially in later generations, seeing so many corrupt officials embezzling so much money, they were finally sentenced to a suspended death sentence, and in a few years, they could make meritorious service in it and reduce their sentences, and live comfortably in their little life. Liu Hong's anger will not be in one place. So no matter what, in his territory, corrupt officials don't want to receive any preferential treatment, as long as you dare to be greedy, even if you don't die, you must be prepared to sit through the prison.

If you are disobedient and unfilial, Liu Hong will not forgive him. These unfilial people, in Liu Hong's view, cannot be counted as people. It's enough to not destroy them humanely, so why let them out and waste food again.

Strictly speaking, there were really not many people in the Han Dynasty who were not filial. After all, what they uphold is to govern the country with filial piety, and within a radius of hundreds of miles, it can be regarded as a miracle to find a person who is not filial. It's like the later generations, the neighbors before and after, if there is no one who is not filial, they can be on the news network.

This thing relies on the indoctrination of the imperial court. In Liu Hong's view, ruling the world with filial piety is one of the few advantages of the old society of all evils, and this thing must be well preserved and strictly inherited.

The third type of forgiveness is the unforgiveness of rebellion. In Liu Hong's opinion, he is going to rebel against me and want my life, and I am pardoning him, isn't this sick.

Of course, if the general rebels are caught, the nine clans will be immediately hanged, and those who are idle will not be able to catch up with such a thing as amnesty. And even if he is lucky enough to let him catch up with the amnesty, this kind of thing does not need Liu Hong to bother, this crime is not within the scope of amnesty.

However, Liu Hong is not a hard-hearted person, since everyone else has been pardoned, it is also appropriate to let them be a little happy. Especially those people who were connected, in Liu Hong's opinion, they were really a little wronged.

Therefore, Liu Hong ordered that even if the three kinds were not forgiven, the crime could be reduced by one degree. Those who commit capital crimes are exempted from death, and those who live are commuted, giving them a chance to mend their ways.

It will not be easy to encounter such a thing as amnesty in the future. Since it has been encountered, it means that this is the day to keep people, and it is impossible to say that it is impossible not to give them a chance.

After all, since the crossing, Liu Hong has been quite in awe of those gods, immortals, and those unnatural forces. He thinks it's better to be a man or leave a way back for himself.

However, the crimes of these guys are too bad, and Liu Hong is also very uncomfortable with the commutation of sentences. Therefore, Liu Hong felt that it was necessary for them to atone for their sins. It's a good idea to let them go to labor reform, and they usually stay comfortably in prison to enjoy themselves, how can this play a role in punishment. Letting them work and work for the people can not only play a punitive role, but they also use their labor to contribute to the people, which can be regarded as making up for their crimes.
