Chapter 319: Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger

"How can the edict of the widow be changed overnight?"

Qingji's attitude is very resolute.

It is true that he cherishes Kongqiu's talents, but Qingji does not allow anyone to dare to challenge his authority!

The queen Ji Ko, who was on the side, couldn't help frowning, and said slowly: "King, think twice." Confucius may be angry in his recital. ”

"If 'the harsh government is reluctant to the tiger', Confucius thinks that the "Book of Law" promoted by the king is inhumane and incompatible with Zhou etiquette, so he has repeatedly written to dissuade him."

"Since Confucius could not agree with the Book of Law, why didn't the king explain it to him? Or, transfer Confucius from Huiji County back to Jinling, between the monarchs and ministers, just talk about it. ”

Transferring Kong Qiu back from Huiji County?

When Qing Ji heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

According to his understanding of Confucius, the latter was a donkey temper, and once he decided, ten cows could not pull it back.

And if Kong Qiu really abandons the official and leaves, Qingji will be helpless.

Because in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, talents can be left to stay.

If Qingji dares to defy the condemnation of the world, kill Kongqiu, or put Kongqiu under house arrest, he will inevitably be criticized, and then it will cause a large amount of talent loss to Wu State.

A good reputation is extremely important in all times.

For example, Chu Cai Jin used and Wei Cai Qin used, the monarchs of Chu and Wei may have thought about killing those ministers who dared to abandon their official positions, but they couldn't do it after all.

The relationship between Qingji and Kong Qiu is like the relationship between a modern boss and an employee.

There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay!

If the boss's behavior makes him unhappy, Kong Qiu, as an employee, may not be unable to resign or leave himself!

"Good."

Qingji finally adopted this proposition of Queen Ji Ko and transferred Kong Qiu from Huiji County back to Jinling.

After all, Kongqiu's reputation in Huiji County was too high.

The Yue people may not know who the king of Wu is, but they have definitely heard of Kongqiu, and even seen Kongqiu!

"My lord, the court captain asks to see you."

At this moment, the CRRC Mansion ordered Jiao to slip into the Zide Hall and announced.

"Bo Woo? Declare. ”

"Yui!"

Then, Bo Yan hunched his waist and entered the Zide Hall with his eyebrows lowered.

"Uncle Chen, see the king, the king is ten thousand years!"

"No need to be polite. , sit. ”

"King Xie!"

Bo Biao then sat down under His Majesty's platform.

"The king, the minister's visit this time is really a thing, the minister himself can't make the decision, so he enters the palace and asks the king to cut it!"

"What?"

"Recently, there was a murder on the street in Yunyang. In order to avenge his father, the ugly man of the commoner stabbed the enemy, and then voluntarily surrendered to the government, and has now been imprisoned. ”

Bo said eloquently: "However, the Yunyang County Commander thinks that the ugly husband is filial piety, and he voluntarily surrenders, so he can be treated leniently without the death penalty. Therefore, the music exonerates the ugly man, and asks the king to open up and forgive the ugly man's capital crime! ”

Hearing this, Qingji couldn't help frowning.

"Whatever the reason, killing people in the street has a bad impact. The widow said that if a person intentionally kills someone, he will die regardless of the reason, and although this ugly man surrenders himself, he cannot be treated leniently. ”

"The king's intention is to execute the ugly man according to the "Book of Law"?"

Qingji looked at Ji Ko on the side and asked, "Queen, what do you think should happen to this ugly husband?" ”

"The king, the concubine thinks that the ugly husband should not kill people on the street, but he has a plot to surrender himself, and in order to avenge his father, why can't he be demoted to an official slave and atone for life for his life?"

Woman's view!

Qingji shook his head and said: "Queen, it is an indisputable fact that the ugly husband kills people in the street. Whatever the reason, whether it is a vendetta or a private fight, the sin is unforgivable. ”

"When the widow was discussing legislation with his ministers before, he said that the law does not punish the heart, and the deeds do not care about the heart, what my Wu country wants to do must follow the law, and the law must be investigated!"

"The ugly man's capital crime is irrefutable."

"The king is wise!"

Tingwei Bo said approvingly.

In this matter, the reason why he wanted to ask Qingji's opinion was because he was worried that he would not handle it properly and cause Qingji's dissatisfaction.

After all, Wu Guo had just enacted legislation, and he had no experience in handling some criminal matters.

Qingji thought secretly for a while, and suddenly said: "Bo Yu, the official of your Tingwei Mansion, can you be familiar with the "Law Scripture"? ”

"Hui Wang, the ministers, and the colleagues of the Imperial Palace, have already read the "Book of Law" by heart."

As the highest judicial body in the Wu State, Bo Biao and other officials naturally cannot even be familiar with the "Book of Law".

"The Book of Law was tried out in Jinling, which was well known to the Chinese people and achieved remarkable results. The widow should promote the content of the "Book of Law" to all parts of the country. ”

"It is necessary to ensure that every county government post a notice of the Law Sutra, and all officials, including the officials with a rank of 100 stones, and even the local three elders and pavilion chiefs, must be familiar with the "Law Sutra" and pass it on to the people by word of mouth, so that the people of the country know the law and abide by the law!"

"Spot checks from time to time, so that all localities manage to memorize the "Law Sutra" and write the "Law Sutra" silently, if they cannot recite it silently, they will not be hired!"

"Yui!"

Qing Ji's move was to quickly promote the "Law Classic" to various places in the Wu Kingdom.

Knowing the law and breaking the law is the most hateful, and with the "Book of Law" as a basis, in the future, the county commanders will encounter some tricky cases, and they will not be able to rely on their personal preferences to judge those coffins!

After all, the rule of man is limited, because Qingji does not dare to guarantee that every official can be discerning, honest and upright!

That is why the rule of law came into being.

After a pause, Qingji said again: "In addition, with your court lieutenant and the imperial history platform (the imperial historian institution), you will set up a post supervision book and a post supervision Cao Peng in the local area, and everything does not care about conveying decrees, supervising subordinate officials, inspecting prisons, and checking illegality. ”

Upon hearing this, Bo Yan hesitated and said, "My lord, if this is the case, isn't the authority of this post superintendent too heavy?" ”

"A county only has one post supervisor, one post supervisor Cao Peng, the post supervisor belongs to the officials of the Tingwei Mansion, and the post supervisor Cao Peng belongs to the officials of the Yushitai, and is not under the jurisdiction of the county order."

"Whether it is the superintendent of the postal book or the superintendent of the post, there is only the right to supervise, and it is changed every three years, or transferred or promoted."

"Yui!"

With a relatively complete judicial organ, Qingji naturally wanted to establish supervisory officials at the local level.

Otherwise, some morally corrupt officials will inevitably be as domineering as the local emperor.

This is exactly what Qingji cannot tolerate!

As for why there are two postal inspectors, Qingji also hopes that the two can contain each other, rather than collude.

Nowadays, although the world is ruined, but the hearts of the people have not yet been lost, and there are very few real corrupt officials and corrupt officials, because people have the most basic moral bottom line in their hearts, which will not be easily crossed.

The reason why Qingji set up this kind of officials to supervise the local area is just to prevent the slightest slight!
