"Amnesty to the world......" the First Emperor muttered.

"Once it is enacted, it is inevitable that the guilty will not receive the punishment they deserve, and in this way it will still corrupt the system of law and make the hearts of men less fearful." The First Emperor gently tugged at the table.

The First Emperor understood the right of amnesty proposed by Zhao Si and the meaning of the object of amnesty, but hundreds of years ago, Great Qin ruled the country by law, and was used to being rigorous, but the amnesty was facing the world, not just for a certain individual and small group.

The impact of anything that looks like the general public is bound to be great, so the first emperor was still a little hesitant for a while.

In the eyes of the First Emperor, good and bad are very distinct.

The advantage is that you can be kind to the world and quickly calm people's hearts.

The disadvantage is that the power of the emperor undermines the majesty and credibility of the law, and the deterrent effect of the law is reduced.

There is no doubt that the benefits do outweigh the disadvantages at the moment.

Because the rebellion is still in place, the vast majority of those who benefit from the amnesty are the people who are forced to implicate and coerce.

Moreover, the local ecology is in urgent need of restoration, and at the same time, in this rebellion, many of the remnants of the Six Nations died, and their fields and properties were completely liquidated by the government.

Needless to say, the fields must be divided to the yeoman farmers to cultivate, to annex, divide the fields, and destroy the powerful and noble, which was originally the original intention of the first emperor to promulgate the decree of moving the king's tomb.

Property also needs to be restored to the local ecology before it can be useful.

The first premise for dividing the land is to restore them from sinful bodies to innocent homesteaders.

If you have land, you have to have someone to plant it, right?

But one must not only look at the present, but also look to the future.

What about later? Such a situation is rare, and without it, would not amnesty the world shake the authority of the law?

"The eldest father is really insightful, and he can see the key at a glance." Zhao Si slapped a little fart on his mouth.

The First Emperor smiled and nodded.

This is the difference between one's own son and a good saint.

How could he not see that Zhao Si still had an opinion on what he said, but Zhao Si would not be as clever as Fusu and say that you are wrong, I am right.

The purpose of discussing problems with one's own family is to find the best solution, not to prove that they are right.

However, the sad thing is that the first emperor of Mo said, that is, most families in the world in later generations, seem to be always obsessed with right and wrong and the release of emotions, and do not care about how to solve the problem, and in the end there is only a piece of chicken feathers left.

"Okay, what I just thought about is that I opened this opening and plugged it with my own hands, but you definitely don't think so, tell me what you think." The First Emperor waved his hand.

The current situation is too common, everything is in ruins, and the people's grievances have accumulated to a certain extent, and there are countless subordinate concubines who wear crimes......

"Actually, there are two sides to everything...... Father, you think that amnesty will shake the prestige of the law, but I think that amnesty is also a correction of errors in the execution of justice.

You can only see how many criminals are in a county and what kind of crimes they have committed, but it is difficult to know how the government arrested them and how they interrogated them, and even if they do, they cannot get a glimpse of the truth through the file, and you can't be sure whether they have been beaten into tricks, framed and framed, and even worse, they use private power for personal gain, and deliberately use the law to humiliate the people.

If the law is promulgated, if the enforcers of the law can act in strict accordance with the law, then there will naturally be no danger in the world, but people will eventually have omissions and selfish desires......

Li Xiang, can you guarantee that none of the criminals in the world have been beaten into tricks? Zhao Si asked.

Li Si shook his head when he heard this......

"That's what I'm talking about, using imperial power to correct the mistakes of the judiciary of the grassroots officials. As long as the amnesty is used well, it is a beneficial and harmless thing. Zhao Si sighed and said.

The First Emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this, nodded thoughtfully, looked at Zhao Si who was talking eloquently and asked, "Then tell me how to use this amnesty in the world?" ”

"In my opinion, it is nothing more than strict government, strict government, and lenient government, less use.

If the officials are corrupt, they will be used more, and if they are clear, they will be used less.

At the same time, in my opinion, amnesty is only a means to alleviate hunger, but not a real solution to the problem.

Therefore, if the rule of officials is corrupt, while using amnesty to the world, we should also hurry up the time to solve the problem, and any political mistakes should be corrected in time, instead of blindly relying on the amnesty to show grace to the world instead of solving the real problem. Zhao Si said.

To put it bluntly, amnesty is used to improve the emperor's fault tolerance.

At the same time, it is also used to slow down the contradictions, but it does not solve the root cause of the problem.

And how to use this thing is also particular.

Lenient and benevolent government, if you can, you don't need it, and the relaxed political conditions mean that there will not be too many grievances among the people, and the people's hearts will generally be peaceful, and there will naturally not be too many criminals, and those who can really be arrested must have committed big cases.

But if it is a harsh government, like Daqin, even if the road is uneven, you must draw a sword to help, otherwise you will be punished for the second class, then it is very necessary to use amnesty to the world.

Because there are too many innocent people, they may have broken the law, but they may not be really guilty, and even at the moment when Zhulian has not been completely eliminated, a large number of criminals have completely suffered from unjustified disasters.

At such times, it is necessary to use amnesty.

Secondly, there is no need to say much about the rule of officials and the corruption of officials, probably for similar reasons.

If the administration can be done in a neutral manner, with a degree of tightness, and the officials are clear and selfless, then there is no need to use amnesty.

Zhuge Liang ruled Shu like this, and some ministers persuaded Zhuge Liang to grant amnesty to Shuzhong, but Zhuge Liang refused on this ground.

Zhao Si was talking, and the first emperor was thoughtful.

After Zhao Si finished speaking, the First Emperor nodded: "Not bad......"

"Then do you say that today's Great Qin is lenient or harsh? Is it the rule of the rulers or the corruption? The First Emperor continued.

"There are also lenient and harsh governments, and the rule of officials is both clear and corrupt." Zhao Si said a word of nonsense when he heard this.

It's not nonsense, at least the First Emperor heard some meaning.

The First Emperor nodded and looked at Li Si and said: "Since this is the case, I will bother Li Xiang and his subordinates to discuss which crimes are not forgiven by amnesty in the world, and after the unforgivable sins are discussed, we will discuss the matter of amnesty in the world." ”

"Yui!" Li Shishou then glanced at Zhao Si and left with a smile.

Zhao Si, this kid, ah, no, this His Royal Highness, but there is something in the words......

The so-called leniency and harshness, clear and corrupt, Li Si can't hear that this is pointing at himself.

But it takes time to do things......

It also takes time to study the way a country is changing.

After Li Si left, the First Emperor still had a little emotion on his face.

"Yu Lie of the Sixth Emperor of Zhenfen, the first kings of the past dynasties, didn't he leave me with a mess, Li Si too, the law of the Shang Jun has been compatible with the blood of the Qin State, there are no ancients to follow, you need to be cautious every step of the way, if you have the heart, you can go and discuss with Li Si, just urging, but things can't be fast." The First Emperor patted Zhao Si's shoulder and said with a smile.

Li Si is trying to abandon the influence of the old Legalists to find a new path, in the transformation, in the brewing, he has a promising future.

But it's been a long time since the metamorphosis and brewing......

Zhao Si is not Li Si, let him fart with the big truth, of course he is louder than one by one, but let him really cure the root cause and correct the entry of the law, then it will be more difficult for him.

What's more, Li Si also had to create his own ideas during this period.

Slow, it's normal......

It is necessary to govern the country, govern the government, and govern the school......

The reason why the first emperor was able to leave Li Si to listen today is also because of this, otherwise the two of them are chatting behind closed doors together, how can Li Si have a share?

In the end, it is so that Li Si can audit and observe, so as to get more inspiration.

"Okay ......" Zhao Si spread his hands, but when he thought about it, Li Si did have a difficult task.

The boss gives a general direction and theme, and it is still people who really improve the implementation......

The day was fleeting, and Li Si's actions were still fast enough.

The next day, the so-called amnesty of unforgivable sins was presented.

"Your Majesty, the minister has preliminarily listed the unforgivable sins, a total of eight regulations, please review them." Li Si bowed down and stood in the hall and handed over the paperwork.

"Read!"

Zhao Si took the paperwork and spoke.

"The so-called amnesty is not forgiven, there are eight deadly sins.

The first is to plot rebellion, the second is to plot against the great rebellion, the third is to plot the judgment, the fourth is to be rebellious, the fifth is to be unethical, the sixth is to be disrespectful, the seventh is to be unfilial, and the eighth is to be civil strife......"

There is also a detailed analysis of these eight cardinal sins by Li Si later.

Needless to say, rebellion is the destruction of the emperor's temple mausoleum and other heinous crimes, and the sentence is betrayal and betrayal of the country.

The conspiracy was in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was also recorded in Qin Jian, anyone who had been recognized as killed in battle but came back alive would be punished as slaves, and if he took the initiative to lay down his arms, he would also be punished by his family.

The crime of murdering relatives during the vicious rebellion, and the crime of vicious infringement, such as dismemberment, animal husbandry, extermination, and bullying the old and the young, and the vicious crimes that seem to be the common anger of people and gods are basically the crimes of immorality.

Needless to say, it still refers specifically to the emperor, for example, any slander against the emperor and infringing on the emperor's majesty is a great disrespect.

Needless to say, civil strife refers specifically to the crime of adultery among relatives.

It can be seen that the eight crimes that Li Si summed up without forgiveness are either to maintain national unity, or to maintain the dignity of the emperor, or to commit vicious crimes based on the simple feelings of the general public in society, which are the common anger of people and gods.

In fact, what Li Si proposed at the beginning were the seven deadly sins, and there was no unfilial piety.

But after thinking about it later, Li Si still added it.

The current Li Si is a little different from the previous Li Si, and Zhao Si can feel it.

After hearing this, the First Emperor nodded thoughtfully, and after thinking about it carefully, except for these vicious crimes, most of the other forgiveness of guilt was acceptable.

At least for the First Emperor it was acceptable.

"It's just that killing people pays for their lives, it's just right, if a person just kills someone because of a quarrel, and he happens not to commit these eight major crimes, and he just gets a punishment, he encounters an amnesty in the world, is it too easy?" The First Emperor rubbed his eyebrows and asked.

"Simple, if the crime of homicide happens to be not in the entry of the eight deadly sins, then the crime is reduced by one degree, and the murderer does not have to be killed, but is exiled for 2,000 li, and the exile for 2,000 li is reduced to exile for 1,000 li...... In this way, the crime of murder will not be easily exonerated because of this. Lees spoke.

Although, the security conditions in ancient times were very touching.

However, one thing that must be determined is that the death penalty is prudent and cautious in all the rule and prosperity of the world, and during the Tang Taizong period, it was even required that the central government should investigate the responsibility for the death penalty imposed by the state capital, and the local government had no right to directly sentence the death penalty.

In the same way, as long as it is a crime of homicide, if it is a crime of ruling the world and prospering the world, it is bound to be a vicious crime.

Although human life was not so valuable in ancient times, it specifically referred to the period when the imperial court was degraded, the rule of officials was corrupted, and the world was in chaos.

Even in the Qin State, which regarded the people as consumables and used heavy punishments, there were not many capital crimes in the real sense.

What the Qin State wants is to turn you from a free man into a slave and deprive you of everything, but at the same time, you must be forced to make a steady stream of contributions while you are alive.

Only a dynasty that is completely hopeless will think of solving the problem by killing people.

Of course, after becoming a slave from a free man, he is not strictly a human being.

At least in the legal sense, slaves were property, not people.

But it's hard to say that private slaves, that is, subordinate concubines, have a certain degree of human rights protection, and they are not really beaten and killed after becoming official slaves.

The First Emperor nodded, thinking that Li Si had added well.

However, if murder is a vicious crime, even if it does not belong to the ranks of the eight deadly sins, it cannot be easily and completely pardoned, and the crime can be reduced by one degree......

There are really grievances, at least there is hope, and there is room for reversal.

The First Emperor felt very good, waved his hand and said: "You go and tell the hundred officials, and after seven days, a court meeting will be held to discuss the matter of amnesty for the world!" ”

Li Si bowed down when he heard the sound, and secretly pondered the thoughts of the First Emperor in his heart.

It seems that the First Emperor really accepted it?

As a confidant who has been with the First Emperor for decades, how can Li Si not know the transformation of the First Emperor?

Now Your Majesty is really able to slow down and think about things.

In this way, I really have the possibility of becoming a saint......

After Zhao Si returned, the First Emperor's mentality was indeed not as bad as before, but in essence, it was inevitable to be impatient, after all, manpower is exhausted, and human life is exhausted.

After Zhao Si's identity was revealed, this situation continued.

Therefore, Li Si knows that his path is not so easy.

I'm afraid that I will have to wait until Zhao Si takes over from the First Emperor before I can start in the real sense.

And now...... Li Si saw it in his eyes, Zhao Si was ...... His Royal Highness Taisun, I don't know what ecstasy I poured into the First Emperor, but I really coaxed the First Emperor, so in this way, the First Emperor who calmed down his mind and was not arrogant or impatient, Li Si really had the possibility of preaching in the present dynasty.

Well...... Don't wait for Zhao Si......

The eight deadly sins presented by Li Si are not temptations?

The previous First Emperor would not have been so lenient, this must have been influenced by Zhao Si,

Li Si got a satisfactory answer, left satisfied, and finally strengthened his idea of opening up the old law of Shang Jun.

As for Zhao Si, he naturally didn't know Li Si's Xiao Jiujiu.

He took it for granted that Li Si hadn't started preaching until now because the preparation was too difficult.

And the First Emperor may have seen it, but he didn't care about this, he just snorted and said with an incomprehensible expression on his face: "Send the recital presented by Li Si to your father, and pass him into the palace for dinner." ”

Zhao Si nodded.

Understood, the First Emperor is preparing to give his cheap dad a face.
