Chapter 159: Amnesty to the World!

Su Yu focused on explaining the impact of the disorder on society, believing that crimes that violate the rules will cause great turmoil and adverse effects in society, and want to include them in the regulations of amnesty through debate, and expand the eight heinous crimes to the ten heinous ones.

As for the logic, it is naturally based on Confucian thought, the so-called monarch and minister, father and son......

Su Yu is considered a high-achieving student of Confucianism, and his words are reasonable and well-founded, and he borrows allusions as empirical evidence, but for a while, no one refutes it.

After all, it is to do addition rather than subtraction, which naturally will not attract too much opposition, and in essence, adding two more is also better to maintain social stability and the majesty of the law.

Li Si frowned slightly, sniffed out some unusual tastes, pondered in his heart, and was listing the words to prepare to refute, but unexpectedly Zhao Si spoke first.

"What Su Yushi said is extremely true, unharmony and injustice, which really makes people's hearts unbearable, but the so-called disrespect, is it too idealistic?" Zhao Si asked with a smile.

When Su Yu heard this, he was about to explain to Zhao Si in detail what was disrespectful, but Zhao Si threw out a second question.

"Among the clans, the elders have always been heavier, and the guests have always been the main ones, supplemented by the guests, and within the family, they have always been strong men and women.

If, as you say, the pardon of unrighteousness is included in the list of first-class felonies, is it also encouraging the trend of bullying? ”

In this way, if the elders of the relatives commit crimes, the juniors dare not denounce them, because the sins committed by the relatives are not considered to be great evils, but if they denounce the relatives, they will be burdened with unforgivable sins.

If the chief makes a mistake, the junior officials dare not correct it, because the chief is corrupt and accumulates wealth, and he may be pardoned, but it is an unrighteous crime to sue the official.

If a woman's husband commits a crime, the woman will not dare to correct it, and if a man beats and abuses his wife, she will not dare to report it to the government, because it is not good to report it to the government......

In this way, is the strength and weakness out of order?

In the long run, if the officials can't correct the chief, will they have to go along with it?

If the younger generation can't correct and denounce the elders, will there be collusion between the clans? Zhao Si asked with a smile.

Zhao Si didn't fall into Su Yu's trap at all, he only started from the strength and weakness.

Among the charges of injustice and injustice, who is the weak group and who is the strong group.

Zhao Si is not good at rapping, and pointing out the fundamental problem is the easiest way.

As for the next ...... Rap, then naturally Li Si is in charge.

The Eight Evils were proposed by Li Si, and in fact, just the inclusion of unfilial piety in the Eight Evils Li Si has already thought it through.

As a law-maker of the nation, Lees knew what it meant to be amnesty.

In the original Great Qin, it didn't matter how serious the crime was, because all the guilt could not be pardoned, and could only be mitigated by fines, dethronement, etc.

Some specific heinous crimes cannot be pardoned, but the concept of amnesty has not been strictly proposed.

And now there is an amnesty for the world, and the amnesty for unforgivable sins is, strictly speaking, the highest inviolable law of a country.

So what Liss did in the beginning was subtraction, not addition.

That is, the forgiveness of unforgiven sins should be few, not more.

If there are too many and can't remember it, it will only give people the image that the Qin State is brutal and wants to seek a good reputation.

It has to be less, less enough, to be heavy enough.

said that it was a lot of nonsense, but it came up and made a whole bunch of it, and as soon as the amnesty was promulgated, it turned out that there were only two or three people who could be pardoned, so the so-called amnesty became a joke, and the so-called amnesty was naturally a joke?

Therefore, on the surface, it seems that how many articles of amnesty are formulated by Li Si, but he knew from the beginning that there is only a limited space for amnesty and unforgiveness.

At the same time, it is precisely because the crime of amnesty is the highest and worst crime, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a guide and warning for the behavior of the people in the future, so Li Si is more cautious.

For example, when adding the item of unfilial piety, Li Si thought about many problems.

For example, if a father kills someone, but if the son reports that the father is unfilial, and the amnesty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, people will take it for granted that unfilial piety is more serious than other crimes, so they will not dare to identify it, will it affect the implementation of other laws?

Li Si hesitated for a long time before adding the charge of unfilial piety.

On the one hand, it is because unfilial piety was originally one of the felonies in the Qin State.

On the other hand, in the process of long-term law enforcement, Li Si can also feel that there are some things that cannot be done by law.

The Qin law can break the family into a small family, and it can be divided into the clan and the strong, but when the family is connected by the closest bond between father and son, no matter how the law is enforced, it cannot be broken.

In the end, what the law cannot get around is the most simple emotions.

And the small family...... Blood relatives, although there are many birds and beasts in the past dynasties, but the most basic order and needs and feelings have always been in the same line.

The father died for the son, the mother died for the son, life and death are difficult to fear, it is not as good as the beauty of adults, and this public order and good customs will be maintained as a guide.

"It's really shameful to be unkind, but it's not a grudge from heaven." Li Si shook his head and said.

"The so-called ...... for the country," Liss began his tirade.

Like Su Yu, they all quote allusions, borrow real examples, refute Su Yu's views, and cleverly borrow the views put forward by Zhao Si.

To include unharmony and injustice in the list of unforgivable sins in the general amnesty is to encourage the bullying of the weak by the powerful and the breeding of crimes.

The common people are inherently short-minded, and the humble are incomprehensibly lacking in courage.

What can a woman understand? My husband's sentence that you don't listen to me is heinous, and it is enough to scare him and not dare to resist.

Officials intimidate officials, although I am corrupt, but you sue the officials as officials, that is unrighteousness and heinousness.

Of course, this would certainly not be the case when the law was enforced, and even if it was heinous, if it was true, it would not convict the whistleblower.

The problem is that once the heinous heinousness is made public, it will form a kind of ideological guidance for the people of the world.

In the future, anyone who does such a thing will be heinous and will be spurned by everyone.

Therefore, even if the government will not punish the whistleblower, the guided social ideology will punish the whistleblower.

When a wife denounces her husband, she will be pointed at by others and will be spurned by others.

In the future, when the officials denounce the chief, they will also be tolerated and excluded from the official place.

Don't say that injustice and injustice are included in the unforgivable sin, even if they are not included today, in fact, this is already an unspoken rule......

It's just that this kind of unspoken rule is essentially the bullying of the powerful to the weak.

And!

Li Si wants to make a break with the old law and take a new path, but this does not mean that Li Si will directly turn his head and embrace Confucianism.

In essence, Li Si has found that after so many years of observation, he has come to an end in tossing Shuren.

It is impossible to split the clan into the unit of the individual family.

In the same way, when the people are forced to act according to the law, they find that the law is ineffective when it comes to the most fundamental simple emotions.

At this time, it has done more harm than good, so Li Si has to take a new path and be more relaxed.

However, it does not mean that the path that Li Si wants to take is to connive at the integration of officials and promote the formation of local forces.

Strictly speaking, the path taken by Li Si is different from that of the old officials, but it is very similar to the thinking of the new officials, which was once very popular in the past.

While absorbing the ideas of the rest of the schools, he did not lose his roots in Legalism.

In the service of centralization, the strong and the weak branches!

The difference is that at this time, Li Si has realized that the Shuren are not tree branches, but soil!

As for Confucianism, the Confucian road is flourishing......

Essentially, they all draw nutrients from the soil.

Li Si put aside his identity as the right minister, and his academic attainments are also very high, at least much higher than Su Yu.

Zhao Si proposed a fundamental contradiction, and it didn't take a few rounds for Su Yu to be refuted by Li Si speechless.

Thus the eight unpardonable sins were decided......

It's a pity that in the end, it didn't make up the heinousness.

Although it is a bit obsessive-compulsive, Zhao Si knows that this is the highest level of crime launched by the government, and in addition to convictions, there is also a wide range of ideological guidance for the society, so it is not as simple as adding it.

In the current situation, it is better to be heinous than heinous.

After the eight evils were decided, the matter of amnesty for the world was basically decided.

The focus of the courtiers' deliberations then became how to grant amnesty to the world, and under what conditions it could be granted.

Amnesty cannot be abused, and everyone quickly reached a consensus on this.

After all, this is for the whole world, and the slightest carelessness may cause a decline in the credibility of the law.

It's a double-edged sword, similar to a guilty edict......

It's okay to use it a few times in a lifetime, but if you make an edict every day, then everyone in the world will have fun.

Three times a year, the majesty of a king is basically lost.

Three times a year, the credibility of the law will be lost.

And this is a right that belongs exclusively to the king, but this right is too big and too big, and everyone wants to put a little restriction on it.

Therefore, after serious deliberation, the amnesty was strictly divided into two categories.

One is amnesty under war.

Under the mutual conquest, there are too many Li Shu who are coerced, they are innocent, then in this case, it is unreasonable to punish them together, and the war is usually accompanied by famine, and manpower is urgently needed, so an amnesty can be issued at this time to pardon their crimes.

The other is the special season.

For example, when a new emperor ascends the throne, a prince is ordained, or a territory is expanded for thousands of miles......

In short, the conditions are harsh, but not so harsh.

In general, every effort was made to limit the king's right to issue amnesty to the single digits.

Of course, if the king really has the heart to disobey this rule, then there is nothing he can do......

The system is the most unreliable, even if it is the ancestral system, the biggest role of the current heated discussion and even the consensus reached by the ministers is to warn future generations.

As for the system left by the present people, it cannot trap future generations.

After the ministers finished deliberating, Feng Quji's son, Yushi Feng Zai, proposed a supplement.

It is recommended that the local government focus on all those who have granted amnesty, and if they commit another crime in the future, they should add one degree to the original crime, so as to show mercy and show mercy to the world, and not make the people lose their fear of the law and go unpunished.

After Feng Zheng proposed, he immediately received the approval of His Royal Highness Zhao Si, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Fusu, and the First Emperor.

Zhao Si inevitably paid more attention to Feng Zheng.

He didn't know much about Feng Zai's deeds, but as a traverser, he knew that Feng Zao had succeeded Li Si as prime minister after Hu Hai ascended the throne.

Unfortunately, Feng Zheng's father, Feng Quji, was a supporter of Fusu.

On the one hand, Feng Zheng was able to escape Hu Hai's purge of Fusu's henchmen, and at the same time, he was able to win the trust of Fusu and Zhao Gao and climb to the high position of the right minister, which shows that he still has some ability.

However, the character needs to be verified...... For the time being, take a note in your heart and remind yourself that this kind of person with backstage ability will definitely climb up, but you can't ignore it.

Feng Zheng made the final supplement and was praised by the emperor's crown prince and grandson, Feng Quji was also honored, thinking of what Wang Juan had said about investing in Zhao Guo, and after thinking about it, he chose to wait and see.

At present, the situation is relatively optimistic.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Sun are not the same.

"Since the princes are no different, and now the local corruption is in urgent need of restoration, and the spring ploughing is imminent, you might as well draw up a charter at the court meeting, issue an order as soon as possible, and grant amnesty to the world!" The First Emperor opened his mouth to make a summary.

The ministers had a final heated discussion about the process of amnesty for the world.

One of the concerns is in what name amnesty will be given to the world.

The second is what kind of process should be used in the amnesty world.

Snapped, and soon ......

In the midst of heated discussions, the ministers gradually reached a consensus.

After unanimous discussion, everyone was more in favor of amnesty in the name of the crown prince and the prince of the crown prince.

It is a good thing that Longxi has won a great victory and expanded the border for thousands of miles, but compared to the fact that the position of the prince who has been empty for forty years is finally canonized.

As for in the name of war-torn local corruption...... It's a little bit unpleasant, it feels a bit like it's forced, and on the other hand, it's a bit of a slap in the face of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, although this war is inevitable, and the pacification is rapid, but in the end, there is a commotion at home, and it happens to be in the name of the crown prince, which is naturally more glorious and better reflects the benevolence of the first emperor.

Then there is the charter on amnesty.

After unanimous discussions, it was decided that the speed of military intelligence transmission should prevail.

That is, an amnesty decree was issued from Xianyang to the locality, and the entire territory of Daqin was notified as soon as possible based on a journey of 200 miles a day.

Of course, it must be fast, otherwise the amnesty will be promulgated from the world, and if it is at the speed of ordinary government affairs, it is difficult to say whether it can spread all over the world in a year.

After the discussion of the ministers, the First Emperor thought it was very reasonable, so he nodded and spoke.

"In the forty-first year, the eldest son Fusu was appointed as the crown prince, and the eldest grandson Si was the grandson, and the world was amnestied.

Since the first month of the forty-second year, except for the eight major evils that are not forgiven, and the crime of homicide has been reduced by one degree, the rest have not been realized, have not been corrected, and the crimes are no longer serious, and ......they will be pardoned and eliminated."

The First Emperor didn't say much, and his voice was not loud......

Generally speaking, except for the eight evils that are not forgiven, and the crime of homicide is only reduced and not pardoned, the rest of the crimes are all pardoned, thinking that it is a celebration that Daqin has obtained two excellent princes, and the prosperity of the world within three generations is close at hand, so that all the people can congratulate together.

At the same time, it can be regarded as officially showing Zhao Si and Fusu their faces in front of the world, so that everyone in the world can appreciate the merits of the two and strengthen the correctness of the legal system of the two.

Although there are not many words, although the voice is not loud.

But everyone knows that Daqin is about to set off an uproar!

(8,000 complete, challenge 10,000 tomorrow, say blast more, explode more, but what's going on with this monthly pass?) That's all there is to it.,It's going to have a little effect, brother! )
