Chapter 85: A Concert (3)

Liu Xun shook his head and chuckled: "He understands that since I can give it to him, I can take it back." ”

Honggong continued: "In the past, the minister was just a servant, and I didn't know that it took so much effort to be the county commander of Lu Dao. ”

"Some things are easy to say, but difficult to do, once they are in their position, they need to pay a lot of energy, and a county order is like this, so if you want the Han Emperor to worry about the affairs of the whole country, I don't know how hard it should be to do it every day."

Hearing this, Liu Xun frowned, sighed softly, Shi Xian looked at the palace maid outside, and someone served Liu Xun hot tea.

"What kind of environment will produce what kind of thoughts and feelings, when dealing with official business these days, the minister feels that the decrees under the emperor's majesty are all good, and for a while the minister can't understand what too much meaning, that is, there is one, the minister wants to ask His Majesty, I hope that His Majesty can analyze and analyze the minister's busy schedule, and see if what the minister said is right."

"Xiaochen feels that the punishment of people in the Han Dynasty is too heavy now."

"The minister said from the source, under Miki, why can't you ask for it? This is a maladministration inherited from the Qin Dynasty, the minister used to be a servant Cao, and he saw it with his own eyes, once the suspect was caught, the first consideration of the county lieutenant and the thief Cao was not to investigate whether the person had committed a crime before, whether it was really a human crime, and whether the evidence at hand could prove that the person was guilty, but to go directly to the punishment, and beat it first. ”

"According to this kind of punishment, many people can't stand the beating, there is no crime, in order not to endure the pain, they will be beaten into a trick, so it has caused a lot of unjust, false and wrongful cases, about this, in the past few days, the minister and the county lieutenant Chen Tang have been investigating the prisoners in Yingshui County Prison, and they have indeed found that this situation exists."

Liu Xun said "oh" and said, "Read." ”

"Torture and wrongful convictions cause great harm to both the innocent person and the person's family, and even more, if someone is wronged, then the person who has committed the real crime will inevitably escape punishment."

"Xiaochen thinks that the meaning of justice is to let the criminals get the punishment they deserve through a fair trial, so as to protect the lives and property of the people from being violated by criminals, and the minister said in the previous paragraph in the Vermilion Bird Hall that it is actually easier to do a good job of taxation and education in the grassroots county government, but the matter of public security must be treated very carefully, otherwise it is likely to lead to the people's resentment against the court."

"If the grievances are deep, it will arouse public anger, and if the people's anger is not evacuated and resolved, it is likely to lead to civil unrest."

"In the "Book of Shang", it is said, 'It is better to lose than to kill innocently', since it is said in "Shangshu" that it is better to let go of a bad person than to unjustly kill a good person, so how many people are wronged and beaten into tricks in the criminal laws and prisons in the Han Dynasty today?"

At this time, a figure walked in, and when he saw Liu Xun, he asked for peace, and Liu Xun said, "Guantao, you are here." ”

Ordinary people see the emperor to report to the emperor with the emperor's consent, but Princess Guantao and Princess Jingwu are deeply loved by Liu Xu, so they don't have to go through such regulations.

The person who came was Liu Shi, the princess of Guantao, and she said to Liu Xun: "My daughter heard that her father asked Xiao Wangzhi to be the teacher of the prince's brother, so I want to ask my father to allow her daughter to go and listen to Mrs. Xiao's story." ”

Xiao Wangzhi is a well-known expert in scripture in the Han Dynasty, very knowledgeable, Liu Shi wants to listen to Xiao Wangzhi's class, which can be regarded as a building near the water, so Liu Xun agreed.

Liu Shi was careful, and when he saw the emperor frowning, he walked over and leaned over behind Liu Xun, gently massaging his temples for him.

Liu Xun smiled and said, "It's still my daughter who knows that she feels sorry for her father." ”

"Honggong, you keep reading."

Honggong and Shi Xian paid homage to Liu Shi, the princess of Guantao, and then recited Gou Shen's recital: "Xiaochen found in a thorough investigation of prisoners that some prisoners had broken their leg bones in the process of being interrogated, and some were directly beaten to death. ”

"Xiao Chen and the county lieutenant investigated for a few days, and found that there were many wrong cases in Yingshui County alone, so who can say that this kind of thing has not happened in the whole country? If the law enforcement officials of the Han Dynasty compete to see whose methods of extorting confessions are better, who sentences more prisoners to death, indiscriminately fills the number, and beats the innocent people guilty, what will they do? ”

For example, if the minister now discovers an unjust case, it proves that the official who tried the case before is wrong, and since there is a mistake, then the official will be punished, so some people will be in this kind of psychology to speculate, to curry favor with or communicate with the official, and to use power for personal gain, and even more, those predecessors may have a higher official position than the official who found the wrong case. Therefore, people with low official positions may now go to their superiors, and in the long run, won't an official interest group be formed? ”

Liu Xun originally closed his eyes and asked Liu Shi to massage him, but he opened his eyes when he heard this.

"The minister knows that the gentleman is not compared, and the villain is not thoughtful, so the minister feels that the gentleman is friends but not the party, and the villain party is not the group, if this vicious circle continues, there will only be more and more unjust, false and wrongful cases, which is a great threat to the stability of the country."

"Therefore, Gou Shen asked His Majesty the Emperor to see if what the minister said made sense, after all, the minister had no experience before, and he was also crossing the river by feeling the stones, so he asked the emperor to judge."

"The ministers secretly thought that the ministers only attached importance to the Yu Lu and did not try their best to admonish, and the courtiers who were close to the emperor did not dare to speak for fear of being punished, and what happened below and the emperor did not know what to do, this is the biggest disaster of the country, therefore, the ministers have the courage to speak, if there is something wrong, the emperor will have a wide body and a mind from all over the world, and he will inevitably forgive the ministers for being reckless."

"In addition, the minister is the first time to write a note to His Majesty, I don't know if the writing is right, if it is incorrect, please punish Your Majesty, and the minister will correct it in the future."

Liu Xun listened to Honggong finish reading it and asked Liu Shi with a smile: "How is the pavilion Tao Jue writing this memoir?" ”

Liu Shi said: "My daughter didn't listen to it completely, but this person calls himself a minister, this official has a big or small position, and the courtiers are the same to his father and emperor, and they are all the emperor's family. ”

"Moreover, this recital will be popular for a while, and it will be a little confused, but the meaning of it is very good, 'gentlemen are friends but not parties, villains are not groups', this sentence is remembered very clearly by my daughter, but it just makes my daughter feel that this person is very unliterate."

"What does my father think of my daughter's opinion?"

Liu Xun said with a smile: "This person is a small county magistrate, and he is not very old, he has just taken office, and he does not understand the charter, which is understandable." ”

"Ah, as soon as the father said it, the daughter knew the truth, could it be the prisoner in the Vermilion Bird Hall that day?"

"This petty official is interesting."

[Appendix 1: The original text of Tingwei Shi Lu Wenshu's book.]

Tingwei Shi Julu Wenshu wrote: "The ministers heard that Qi had the scourge of ignorance and Huan Gong Xing, and Jin had the difficulty of Li Ji and Wen Gong Bo; In modern times, King Zhao did not end, Zhulu made chaos, and Xiaowen was Taizong. It is a view, a work of chaos, and it will be a saint. After the chaos of the husband, there will be a different grace, and this sage and saint will also show the destiny of heaven. In the past, Emperor Zhao had no heirs in the world, and Changyi ** was the emperor of heaven, so he opened the most holy. The minister heard that "Spring and Autumn" was on the throne, and he was unified and cautious. His Majesty's first ascension to the Supreme Majesty, in line with the sky, it is advisable to change the mistakes of the previous life, and to be ordered from the beginning to the system, to cleanse the troubles, and to remove the people's diseases, in order to respond to the will of heaven. The ministers heard that Qin had ten mistakes, one of which still existed, and the officials who governed the prison were also. The husband and the prison are the great destiny of the world, the dead cannot be resurrected, and the absolute cannot be restored. The book says: "It is better to lose than to kill innocent." 'Imabari prison officials, on the other hand, drive each other up and down, and take the carving as the clear, and those who are deep will be given a public name, and those who are peaceful will have more troubles. Therefore, the prison officials all want people to die, not to hate people, and the way to self-peace lies in the death of people. It is the blood of the dead, flowing out of the city, and the condemned prisoners, standing side by side, a great plan, and the years are tens of thousands. The reason why this benevolent saint is injured is that the peace has not been negotiated, and everything is based on this. Mrs. love, peace is happy, pain is death, under the anger, why ask for it! Therefore, if the prisoner is in pain, he will use excuses to show it; If the ruler is beneficial, he will guide him; If you are afraid of it, you will practice it and do it within the week. The cover is deserved, although Gao Tao listens to it, he still thinks that he is innocent of death. How? There are many practitioners, and the sin of the text is clear. Therefore, as the saying goes: 'Painting the ground is a prison, and it cannot be discussed; Carving wood for officials is not the right period. This is the wind of the sick officials, and the words of sorrow. Only if His Majesty has the provincial legal system and lenient punishment, then the wind of peace can flourish in the world. ”】

[Appendix 2: Emperor Xuan's edict to Lu Wenshu: In December, the edict said: "The use of clever texts by the officials is deep, and it is my immorality. The husband was improperly imprisoned, so that the guilty were evil, and they were innocent of being killed, and the father and son were sad and hateful, and I was very hurt! Today, the history of the court and the county are sent to the prison, and Ren Qinglu is thin, and he is the court Weiping, with a rank of 600 stones, and four members. It's peaceful. In order to praise me! ”】
