Chapter 958: Good People and Good Rewards (Part I)
He Dingwu's and his family were sentenced, He Dingwu was sentenced to death for betrayal, and his family members were also sentenced. Those who used to hold false positions were almost always executed, because traitors often had harsher sentences than those of foreigners. Those who commit lesser crimes will spend most of their lives in prison, because the maximum and minimum sentence for the crime of traitor is fifteen years, and as long as you become a traitor, you will be sentenced to more than fifteen years. If there is a slight crime, it is also punishable by life imprisonment or even death. So in addition to being executed, the people of He Dingwu's family were also sentenced to life imprisonment. And the crime of traitor is the largest, even if they encounter **** in the future, they do not belong to the category of being pardoned, so it is almost impossible for them to **** or reduce their sentences, even if they are not executed, they are destined to spend their lives in prison.
And that Tian Yang was also taken to the original Macao puppet governor's palace, and then met Li Yuanhong, commander of the Southeast Theater.
"Sinners have seen adults!" Tian Yang immediately knelt down and said.
Li Yuanhong took the initiative to say: "Get up, we don't need to force anyone to kneel when we see anyone at present." Even if you see the emperor, you don't have to kneel. So you don't have to kneel anymore, and you won't have to. ”
"Thank you, sir!" Tian Yang said.
Li Yuanhong took the initiative to ask: "Although you once held the puppet position of the puppet Portuguese governor's office, you held the position of translator. Originally, according to the rules, you are likely to be convicted of the crime of traitor. However, you may have been forced to do so, and at most it will only give you a reduced sentence, not enough to acquit you. ”
"Well, if the adults want me to go to jail, then I'll do it right away. Anyway, my old bones are enough. I can see this Macao return to the motherland in this life, so what if I sit in prison? Tian Yang said.
"Hahahaha, good, good, good! Sure enough, it is precisely because of compatriots like you who have never forgotten the motherland, have always regarded themselves as Chinese, and have always been devoted to the motherland, that this is the foundation for our rise in China. Our law is to punish evil and promote good, and we will not spare a bad person, but we will not be able to wronged a good person. You have been in a false position, but you have been forced by the Portuguese. And when you were forced to take on a false position, not only did you not help the Portuguese to harm the Chinese, but you helped the Chinese to reduce their losses openly and covertly. Even the bounty wages that the Portuguese give you are used to give to the families of those who have been harmed by the Portuguese, and you have hardly taken a penny. Even if you have a very decent job, but you don't choose to live on the wages of the Portuguese, you choose to live on some leftovers, and that's ...... It's so embarrassing! Li Yuanhong sighed.
Tian Yang said: "The money given by the Portuguese is too dirty!" I don't bother to take it, so it's better to take the money to make up for it. ”
"Well, I'm afraid the saints are just like that. Very good, you were driven out by the Portuguese for helping the Chinese, and then you worked as a coolie for twenty years with your talent! But you have no regrets, and you have never regretted your choice. People like you, even if they're not saints, are pretty much the same. You're a good person, a really good person. Although our Chinese law punishes bad people, we cannot wrongfully punish a good person. Although you betrayed and acted as a hypocrite, not only did you not have any crimes, but you helped the Chinese openly and secretly, which is a real credit! So the law can never punish a bad person, so of course we can't let you go to jail, we can't let a good person go to jail. You see, this is a **** order signed by me, and from now on you will not be held accountable for the so-called crimes of the past! Li Yuanhong said.
Li Yuanhong gave this **** order to Tian Yang, which means that Tian Yang's so-called "false position" in the past has also been written off and will not be held responsible. According to China's current criminal punishment and various amnesty laws, there are "****" and "amnesty" in the current Wang Guorui's criminal punishment regarding pardon. There is a designated object, and it is a person who has a designated object or a designated identity to designate a crime to be pardoned, and it is often relatively small in scale and not too many people can enjoy it. And **** is a pardon for crimes, that is, a pardon for his punishment, so that he does not have to be punished, but it does not mean that he has not committed a crime. If he commits the same crime again after being pardoned, the punishment is also aggravated as a repeat offense. The original crime must also be recorded, and if you do not have a special request, the relevant additional punishment will continue to be valid.
As for the amnesty, it is a special list of people with almost no special status, almost unconditional release, no conditional pardon. And the amnesty is larger than ****, and it not only forgives punishments, but also forgives sins. That is, the amnesty is higher than ****, and after the amnesty, not only the punishment is exempted, but also the case record is exempted, which means that this person will be a person with no criminal record in the future, and he will be an "innocent" person, even if he commits another crime, he will not be treated as a recidivist and be punished aggravated.
However, **** and amnesty are not easy, in the past, as long as the emperor discussed the amnesty with some courtiers, and even if the emperor was stronger, he would directly issue a holy decree and could also grant amnesty to the world. What emperor's birthday, the new emperor's accession to the throne, the queen mother's birthday, and any important festival may also be able to amnesty the world. However, it is very difficult to issue an amnesty now, according to the law. The amnesty is not something that Wang Guorui or even ordinary courtiers can decide on their own, and it must be agreed by more than 85% of the members of the parliament. In principle, there should not be two amnesties in 20 years, and this is the rule.
And ****, this is not easy, Wang Guorui, the emperor, has three **** places every year, and it is normal for the emperor to have **** places. However, this **** quota, Wang Guorui will not be easily used, because this punishment is the ultimate embodiment of the rule of law, if you are casual ****, then it is easy for people to have luck, so **** can not be abused.
Of course, in some of these cases, some local officials also have **** power. For example, in the course of the war, the commander of the local front-line combat corps has the right to **** some special personnel according to the needs of the battle, and then let them serve themselves. However, this **** can only pardon those criminals who are expected to be sentenced to less than 15 years, and some crimes cannot be casually ****, and must be recognized by the central government.
"This **** order was signed by me taking advantage of the current situation, and I can apply for the recognition of the imperial court, so during this period of military control, my power is still relatively large, so I can carry out the crime of traitor, but it must be recognized by the central court. Of course, your own benevolence and righteousness cannot be ignored, because your benevolence allows you to be sentenced to fifteen years, plus all kinds of meritorious crimes, you can reduce the expected sentence a lot, so that I can apply for you ****. Otherwise, with your crime of traitor, I'm afraid that if it weren't for this situation and your own efforts, you would be able to have this opportunity together. I think that the emperor and the court will not refuse **** you. I think that in a few hours, the telegram approved by the court will also be sent, so that you can be considered to be free again. ”
Tian Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he could avoid going to prison. I am over 60 years old, and if I still have to go to prison, it means that I may be in prison for the rest of my life. However, many Chinese also know that this was forced by the Portuguese to be a translator, and it was not voluntary. Later, they also tried their best to help the Chinese, so it can be regarded as a typical example of "being in Cao Ying's heart in Han". If such a person is sentenced for traitor, this is certainly not appropriate.
So Li Yuanhong and Wang Guorui both **** him, and Wang Guorui is not worried about the bad impact caused by this, thinking that there are not many people like her, so **** can be one. And the people of the whole country will also understand, and they can continue to be confused by fame and fortune in this kind of adversity, but try to do their best to help the Chinese reduce losses. Of course, there is a crime at all, but it is also forced. And he also took the initiative to help the people reduce, and it can be regarded as canceling each other's merits and demerits. And then he ****, it's all okay, it's not something unforgivable.
Of course, the crime of traitor cannot be absolutely one-size-fits-all, although some people are forced to be in a false position, but they have a heart for China, and there is no major crime, then the sentence can also be commuted. Of course, if not only is there a crime, but you can help the Chinese people do things as much as possible and reduce the losses of ordinary Chinese, then you can further reduce the sentence, and then if you have enough credit, then you can also select a small number of people to ****, and then serve as an example. After all, it is not appropriate to treat everyone and save people after punishment, so it is not appropriate to treat everyone one size fits all. Because he was really forced, not really cooperating with the invaders for the sake of glory and wealth, plus he had done a lot of good deeds, and it was okay to set an example and pardon him.
"Tian Yang, how do you think we will manage this Macau next? Is there anything you would like to say about the management of Macau, as a local? Li Yuanhong asked.
Tian Yang heard this, and then took the initiative to say: "Since you asked, then I will also tell me what I thought of, and give it to your adult as a reference." (To be continued.) )
