"Such torture! Even before the advent of peace and prosperity, he was still fulfilling his duties, this is true! ”

Yang Jian has always been calm, and he is also a little incoherent at the moment.

"Lord Yang, it's useless for you to talk to me, you also know that Dali Temple can only handle cases, the six departments of the three courtyards belong to the six departments of the three courtyards, and the five prisons of the nine temples belong to the five prisons of the nine temples, but the well water does not interfere with the river water."

"If you brazenly meddle with the other party, this is ......"

"It's better to try than to sit on the sidelines!" Yang Jian firmly proposed:

"Lord Liu, the three of us will go to the Criminal Department together to see if we can talk about the book of the Criminal Department and propose to abolish torture."

Liu Fang is good at protecting himself, so he is in danger of protecting himself in a famous crisis, otherwise Liu is also a big surname, and there are many famous ancestors.

However, he also knew that the emperor's main purpose was not to exterminate all the famous families, but to exterminate all the famous children who did evil, and that's it.

After hesitating again and again, watching Si Zhi convict the criminal in Dali Temple every day, and after Zhao Cheng read out the results of the trial, the temple officials were numb, either chopping off people's hands and feet, or whipping......

There is too much blood to see, and so are stumps.

He also had the intention of admonishing the Criminal Department, but in the end, he suppressed this thought several times because of the consideration of Mingzhe's protection and not offending people.

……

"Suggest that the Ministry of Criminal Justice abolish torture?"

In the Wugong Courtyard where the Criminal Department is located, Zheng Zhengyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, listened to Yang Jian's intentions, and immediately turned dark:

"The laws formulated by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs have been settled since the founding of the country! My criminal department is doing things, what power do you have to interfere with the two temples? ”

"If it weren't for torture! There will be a surge in those who dare to commit adultery! Pity on the prisoner is not really kindness! Why don't you have mercy on the victims? ”

Yang Jian and Liu Fang were sprayed with spittle by Zheng Zhengyi's head, and the two of them raised their hands to wipe their faces while being expressionless, and then said respectfully:

"Of course, Lord Zheng's reasoning is right, the law is to have the ability to deter, to deter those with bad intentions and dispel bad intentions."

"But! The most fundamental purpose of the law is to deter, not to enforce, when the law really goes to the point of enforcement, or even to enforce it on a large scale. ”

"We have to consider whether the criminal dares to commit a crime against the wind, I am not speaking for the criminal, but on the facts, should we consider it in this direction?"

"Lord Zheng, in addition to the fact that you have been here a few times when you submitted the decree to Dali Temple, you have not seen it with your own eyes in Dali Temple.

"We are all selfless people, and everything is for our family and country."

The two of them said to Zheng Zhengyi very sincerely, eight points of sincerity are really sincere, and the other two points are also concerned about the level of rank.

Although the three of them are all the chiefs of the ministry and the temple, the grade of the six Shangshu is the third grade, and the chief of the nine temples and the five supervisors is the fourth grade.

Perhaps the emperor considered the majesty of the national law, so even if the six departments of the three courts and the five eunuchs of the nine temples were parallel to each other, the rank of the six departments was still two levels higher than that of the five eunuchs of the nine temples.

Zheng Zhengyi didn't mind going to Dali Temple in person, so he followed the two of them to Dali Prison under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple.

There is no need to enter the prison, outside the strict prison walls, there is a pile of severed limbs and broken arms that have been routinely burned, burning black flesh and skin, but the bones are still clearly recognizable in an unsightly black autumn.

"How many cases do you have to execute in a day? How...... So much ......"

"My lord," Liu Fang bowed respectfully and said:

"Dali Temple has to deal with a lot of cases every day, less than 100, more than 100, more than 100, because major local cases must be submitted in accordance with the law."

"However, there are more than 30 cases involving torture every day, and the local Dali office is even more ......."

"And so much."

……

Xuanzheng Palace, the customary five-day day.

After Baiguanshan shouted long live, Zheng Zhengyi knew that a cabinet meeting would be held to revise the law, so he took the lead in standing up and saying:

"Your Majesty, recently, with the cooperation of Weiwei Temple, the national capital has been able to efficiently arrest a group of traitors every day, and after the criminals are handed over from Weiwei Temple to Dali Temple, they are often punished by torture."

"The Ministry of Punishment proposes to change the law! I ask the emperor to approve the formation of a cabinet and start a cabinet meeting on the grounds of amending the law. ”

Hearing this, Yuwen Shihong naturally turned his head to look at Yang Jian, and at this time, Yang Jian also stood up and said in a helpful voice:

"Your Majesty, although torture has the ability to deter people from fearing the consequences, but looking at the country, the people of Qi are not living because of the civil strife, and those who are forced to go to a dead end have to do one case after another in order to survive.

"If the torture continues in our Zhou country, resulting in a large number of people who have lost their ability to survive in the territory, once these people become large, it may cause chaos at least at the local level, and lead to even more serious consequences."

"The minister seconded Lord Zheng's proposal to abolish torture."

After this issue was publicly introduced, all officials began to speak up.

"I heard that Weiwei Temple is very efficient, in previous years, the street was always full of a large number of wanted notices to catch the fish that slipped through the net, and now with the cooperation of Weiwei Temple, the offender is usually arrested quickly, Dali Temple has saved a lot of trouble to catch criminals."

"It's over, whether torture is abolished or not is a matter for the Criminal Department, and Weiwei Temple is just seconding the proposal of the Criminal Department." Yang Jian modestly cleared up again.

During the discussion, Yuwen Shihong concealed that Yang Jian was in the court, and it seemed that he was getting more and more stable, and his relationship with everywhere was very good.

He's a good networker.

"The proposal of the Ministry of Punishment is justified, torture ...... It seems that I have been negligent again," Yuwen Shihong said with a smile:

"In the future, please also ask all the officials to take the initiative to accept their words like the Criminal Department, and if they are reasonable, I will naturally adopt them, even if they are unreasonable, I will not punish them, and please try your best to speak freely in the DPRK in the future."

"Your Majesty, it was the minister who neglected to observe the results of the implementation of the decree, fortunately Yang Weiwei took the initiative to propose, otherwise the Criminal Department only knew about the decree but did not know the results after the decree was issued, which would also be a dereliction of duty."

Zheng Zhengyi praised Yang Jian as soon as he opened his mouth, Yuwen Shihong smiled helplessly, waved his hand and said:

"Later, after the end of the early dynasty, please ask the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to form a cabinet and start a cabinet meeting to repair the law."

To put it mildly, the matter is settled, and the topic is over.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet only has the authority to deliberate, but not to make decrees, and the ministers also agree with the abolition of cruel torture, and if the torture continues to be carried out, some people will be tortured, and it should be dealt with quickly."

"It's better to directly open the inner court to discuss politics, so that you can formulate decrees while deliberating, which is more efficient."

At this time, in order to express her support, Yang Qianxue continued the topic again.
