Chapter 15, Spring and Autumn Prison Break
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It was Xun who recited, but it was a passage from "Spring and Autumn Prison Break".
"Spring and Autumn Prison Break", also known as "Spring and Autumn Decision" or "Spring and Autumn Decision", was written by the Confucian sage Dong Zhongshu. Because the Han law was directly inherited from the Qin law, although it was deleted and simplified to a certain extent, it still seemed too rigid and cumbersome, so Dong Zhongshu substituted Confucianism and retried dozens of cases that he thought were unfair. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucianism had completely dominated, so Dong Zhongshu's set was widely used in the trial of cases.
To put it bluntly, its guiding ideology is that Confucian morality should be above the laws of the country, and that any loopholes in the law can be filled with Confucianism, and that anything that is legally reasonable but unreasonable can also be corrected by Confucianism.
Among them, Dong Zhongshu said such a case: A has a son B, who gave it to C at a very young age, and C has been raising this B. Later, because A drank too much, he said to B: "I am your father." "Mou B was angry on the spot, saying that I am your father, and you are not a black jazz and I am not a Skywalker...... Well, this sentence can be ignored. In short, in a fit of anger, B beat A with 20 sticks, and A sued B for this.
This situation is very similar to the dispute between Ning and the old king next door, according to the Han law, there is no formal document of succession (including the document of borrowing seeds to have children), then a certain A is the father of a certain B, and a certain B beating his father is a great unfilial piety, which should be a capital crime. But Dong Zhongshu said that although A gave birth to a certain B, he did not have the grace of parenting, in fact, the righteousness of father and son between him and a certain B has been extinguished, so a certain B is not considered to beat his father, and he should not be sentenced to the crime of unfilial piety.
The law is dead, people are alive, the living people of the Eastern Han Dynasty in order to trample on the law of death, they often use this kind of "Spring and Autumn Prison" law to do things, and the court really recognizes it, and the scholars will also talk about it - no other, because Confucianism is the highest, and you can play with the law.
This time, Xun also used this method, and he was sentenced on the spot to pay a fine of 500 yuan for beating people, and then released in court. County Lieutenant Huang was anxious on the spot, and shouted: "How can it be like this, how can it be like this, that's not what the law says!" Shi Xun glanced at him contemptuously, and said in his heart that you are at this level, with a scholarly face, you are so uneducated and uneducated.
Tu Xiancheng is still a little knowledgeable, and he plans to argue strongly, saying: "Dong Zi's original text 'A has a son and B begs for C', must have signed a succession document, so it should not be a capital crime, this is ...... from the case of Ning" Shi Xun replied coldly: "If this is the case, it can be judged according to the law, why should Dong Zi be recorded in the register?" ”
Geng County Ling sighed: "That's it." He raised his sleeve to reveal half of it, and asked Shixun, "Do you know what this is?" Shixun shook his head. Geng County said: "This is Geng's impeachment of Your Excellency for asking for bribes!" ”
When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh: "Hahahahaha~~ Geng Ling can be on the chapter, and several people can be on the chapter." Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his face blank: "And see if you can move a certain point?" Talking about it again and listening to Geng Ling, Qing thought that Cao Jiyin dismissed you and others, did he still need to play in the imperial court? Now the court is at peace?! ”
Logically speaking, the county orders are all appointed by the imperial court, and they should also be removed by the imperial court. If the regular process is followed, it is Xun who impeached Geng County as the governor of the post, Cao De should copy his reasons for impeachment and then submit it to the imperial court, and Shang Shutai will make a decision. Although Shang Shutai generally will not reject the impeachment of the county and the prime minister as long as the reasons are sufficient, with such a buffer, Geng County Ling can still find a way to turn around, or go other ways. Since Geng County's order also impeached Shi Xun, if he is not removed for various reasons, Shi Xun will definitely have to go around without food - at least he will lose face.
But the problem is that it's not a peaceful season, and few people go through this kind of formal process anymore! In the Kanto Prefectures, even the assassination history is often elected by the local government, and how many county governors, ministers, or county commanders are appointed by the imperial court? Are there still a few county governors, ministers, or county governors who were dismissed by edict from the imperial court? On the contrary, many local officials who were often appointed by the small imperial court controlled by the Kansai warlords would be bombarded back before they arrived at their posts, some of them were bombarded, and more of them were "chased away", and it was very good to be able to save their lives.
Was Cao Cao, the assassin of Yanzhou, appointed by the imperial court? Was Cao De, the Jiyin Taishou, appointed by the imperial court? If they want to remove a county order, they still need to report to the imperial court?
So as soon as Shi Xun's words came out, Geng County's face was immediately as pale as earth and speechless.
Shixun and his entourage left Chengyang County on the same day and stayed in a village courtyard in Ning Ke that night. I'd rather save my life, thank you to Yeshun is a thousand thanks, Yeshun said you don't have to thank you, you said last night that you were willing to give all your possessions to repay me, is this promise still valid? Rather hesitantly, he nodded. Shi Xun said, you don't have to take out all your property, and I don't take any of it, you donate half of the land deed and half of the floating wealth to the county government, and report everything you have experienced and seen in these days to Cao Jiyin. Otherwise, hehe, "I can live you, and I can kill you!" ”
I'd rather have half of my family property saved, and my wish is enough, and I can't do it at the moment. Shi Xun turned his head and asked Wu Zhen again, saying that I still want to go to the county, do you continue to go back to your hometown to do your tour, or are you willing to follow me and be my guest. Wu Zhen bowed again and again and said: "Shangguan is honest and upright, and saved Ning Ke's life, the villain is very impressed, and is willing to follow Shangguan from now on to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”
Shi Xun then asked Lu Hong, saying that Mr. is very talented, why bother to stoop to Shouzhang County and be a small planner? Why don't you follow me too, or when I go back, report to Cao Yanzhou and give you a bigger official? It's a pity that Lu Hong just shook his head with a smile and said, "Cheng Lingyu has a great favor, and he doesn't want to go against him for the time being." Hong has no merit in size, and he does not work for the recommendation of the chief. It was Xun who advised him not to move, so he had to give up for the time being.
Early the next morning, they left the Ning family's courtyard and turned west to Juyang County. Sure enough, as Wu Zhen said before, Juyang's rule is quite clear, at least he didn't let Shixun find any mistakes, and he didn't find any clues of misconduct. Later, Chengshi, Chengwu, and single father...... went all the way like this, and everywhere he went, he first made a private visit to Weifu, then sealed the treasury, and found out two corrupt county officials and a county magistrate who neglected government, all of whom were impeached by Cao Deguwen, and the rest of the officials were also beaten alive.
A large circle went down, and when I finally entered the county to Dingtao, it was already early summer. Shixun went into the city to see Cao De, handed over the task, Cao De held a banquet for him to pick up the wind, and asked in detail about what he had seen and heard along the way, and the two talked very happily. Although the identities of the two are different from the past - even if Cao De wore the hat of the son of the late third prince, he was white like Shixun after all - and now the difference in rank in officialdom is obvious, but Cao De does not treat Shixun as a subordinate at all, and Shixun also feels that he and Cao Dezhen can really get rid of their traces and make friends with each other.
Finally, after the banquet, Cao De sat down next to Shixun, took his hand and said, "Hongfu, this trip is hard for you." Shi Xun shook his head in a fake manner: "Working for Boss Cao, it's not hard." Cao De was stunned: "What do you call me?" Shi Xun hurriedly cleared up: "It's just a native language in my hometown." "Words in my heart: When I say Boss Cao, I really don't mean you, I mean your brother.
But seeing that Cao De pulled his face down, lowered his eyebrows, and sighed repeatedly: "Those corrupt officials are really hateful, but you have also impeached too many along the way...... Let's just say Chengyang, all the county officials have been impeached by you......" Shi Xun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Don't you plan to remove them?" "Cao De said that last month even the pot was served, but as soon as I did this, I had fewer people available at hand, and Chengyang completely changed into an empty county-
"I've already told my brother that I'll borrow Hongfu for a few more months to temporarily replace the Chengyang County Order, how about it?"
No way! Shi Xun couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, and said in his heart, "Are you addicted to borrowing it from me?" I'm going to go around in a big circle here, and I haven't even returned home, and you want me to go to Chengyang County to squat, you still have no humanity! But when Cao De repeatedly told him, he also promised him that he could go home first and rest for a few months, as long as he rushed to take office before August, don't delay the autumn harvest, it will be completed, and Shixun couldn't push it over for a long time, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.
Cao De, don't look at him on the surface, he is honest, in fact, his stomach is full of bad water, don't look at him as if he is wearing a stone hat, he has a very low sense of savings, he really wants to stick to his body, and he really can't shake it off like snot. In the end, it was Xun who had to lament that he was unladylike when he met someone...... Ah no, it should be careless in making friends. He couldn't help but think of the sentence he often heard from his friends in his previous life: "Teammates, it's used to pit." ”
Lowering his head and thinking for a while, Shi Xun said to Cao De, why don't I recommend a few talents to you. Cao De said yes, yes, I would like to hear about it. However, it was Xun Xian who didn't mention the person's name, but asked the other party, saying that I had been running around for several months, and the news was blocked, so I don't know what the situation in Qingzhou is now?
Cao De said that you asked me really right, my brother just got a letter a few days ago, and by the way, he explained the surrounding shape - Xuzhou is very stable, Si Li is calm on the surface, in fact, the undercurrent is surging, as for Qingzhou......
"Last year, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan competed for Qingzhou, Yuan's army entered Le'an from Bohai, and Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, sent troops to invite him to back, and was broken by Yuan's general Jiang Qi on the river - Hongfu may have heard of this. By the end of the year, the Yuan army had taken Le'an and Qi to the country, expelled the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe ordered by the imperial court, and replaced it with Zang Hong, and Gongsun Zhan's Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai was based on the plains and Jinan, and fought a series of fierce battles, and the victory was inseparable. Hearing that Yuan Shao had ordered his eldest son Yuan Tan to come to the rescue, first in Zouping to break Tian Kai, and then in Luoyin to break the Yanzhou Assassin Shi Shan Jing signed by Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei had to retreat to the north of the Yellow River. In addition, Yuan Jun rode in and out of Beihai and Donglai, and Kong Wenju and Cai Boqi could not be controlled. Judging from this shape shì, Yuan Tan has won Qingzhou, and it will be within a few months. ”
Shixun nodded as he listened. Yuan Tan and Tian Kai, Liu Bei and others fought for Qingzhou, the history books are unknown, just know that they fought for two years before and after, and they killed "no grass in the wild". When Cao De finished speaking, he stretched out two fingers: "Seeing that Kong Beihai can't protect the country, you can send someone to his office to welcome the two ......."
"I want to hear its name."
"One, is a certain uncle, Yingling is Ziyu, and now lives in the position of the prime minister of Beihai; Another Yiying Ling is also a person, surnamed Wang Ming, Xiuzi Shuzhi, and is now a high secret order. These two people are skilled in government affairs, and they are also upright, and they are all officials of the country, if they are not called, they may be obtained by the Yuan family. There is also Beihai Tai Shi Ci Ziyi, Feng Lao Lao is not at home, a certain letter to ask him to go south, has not yet replied, Jun Ke ...... "Speaking of this, his face suddenly changed, and he stopped talking, refusing to say any more.
