Chapter 51: Lao Zhu: If you can't speak, shut up!
These five things, Lao Zhu is basically tired of playing,
On top of this, there are also corpses, heads, Ling Chi, etc.,
These are still recorded in the Da Ming Law, and as for those moves used by the criminal department in secret, they are even more perverted.
Anyway, it's a creative torture of the flesh.
Zhan Hui nodded without hesitation when he heard this,
Said
"Wechen knows."
Zhan Hui has strong business ability,
When I turned around, I was going to gather the Criminal Department and draft an article on this law.
Corporal punishment is not strange for Zhan Hui, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
Basically, during the Hongwu period, as long as the law was broken, he would be punished with corporal punishment.
This is also in line with the principle of Lao Zhu in the troubled times.
Zhu Xiongying frowned slightly,
Opening,
"Master Zhan, wait a minute."
After Zhan Hui heard the voice of His Royal Highness the Holy Sun, he hurriedly stopped,
Turned around and walked back,
He knows
Most of the time, the current Hongwu Dynasty is not what His Majesty says, but what His Royal Highness says.
If the things that Your Majesty has explained are a little worse, there is still room for survival,
But if the things explained by His Highness are a little worse, then there is no room at all.
The nail households that occupied the area of the Beijing Normal University Hall before were run by Lao Zhu himself,
What is the end, needless to say,
"Your Highness, Weichen is here."
Zhu Xiongying turned his head to look at Lao Zhu,
Said seriously,
"Grandpa, isn't such a punishment too heavy?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard his eldest grandson say such words,
After thinking about it seriously,
Then he replied seriously,
"Is it heavy? We really don't think it's heavy. ”
Zhu Xiongying snorted,
Said
"It's really too heavy to be punished with corporal punishment for just breaking and soiling a book.
Grandpa, the meaning of the existence of the national law is not only to punish Liwei, but also to repent with people.
In a lifetime, when everyone does something wrong, he will naturally be punished severely if he commits a serious crime.
And it's just a little mistake, if you have to go to corporal punishment, it's a bit too much.
As long as the corporal punishment is punishable, this pain will accompany him for the rest of his life, how can he repent and become a human being? ”
Only Zhu Xiongying's voice was left in the Fengtian Temple,
Lao Zhu held his breath when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Zhan Hui, and Zhan Hui also looked back at Lao Zhu,
The two looked at each other, staring at each other, not knowing what to say for a while,
Obviously, no one has ever had an objection to the usage of Lao Zhu,
That is, His Royal Highness the Holy Sun, can say a few words in His Majesty's ear,
Zhu Xiongying naturally agrees with the principle of grandpa's troubled times.
Otherwise, there would not have been five years of silence without making changes to the law.
Indeed, as grandpa said, after a long period of troubled times, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is mixed, and if you don't use the heavy code, there is no way to stabilize the situation.
But now the situation is different from that time, seeing that the Ming Dynasty has been almost twenty years,
Now because of Zhu Xiongying's various reforms, the Ming Dynasty has made the country peaceful and peaceful.
If you use such a heavy sentence again, it is really a bit excessive,
Like those who murder and commit adultery, no amount of punishment is too much.
But some petty theft, or people who make mistakes because of a momentary evil thought, are directly beaten with corporal punishment.
The physical defects brought about by corporal punishment will also affect the psyche, and it is clear that the sin he committed is not so serious.
But because of the corporal punishment, he could not repent for the rest of his life, and only forced them to a more extreme path.
Zhu Xiongying's meaning is very clear,
Punishment against humanity such as corporal punishment must be abolished.
If someone else said these words in Lao Zhu's ear, in Lao Zhu's opinion, it would be tantamount to rebellion.
But after the eldest grandson said these words, Lao Zhu's face showed a contemplative look, and he was seriously thinking about what Zhu Xiongying said,
Lao Zhu groaned,
"Eldest grandson, what you said does make sense,
Some people who don't sin so much, blindly go to corporal punishment, which is indeed a bit too much,
Zhan Hui, what do you say? ”
Zhan Hui was stunned,
Speak,
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is a great thing for His Highness to have a charitable heart,
It is also true that as His Highness said, corporal punishment makes some people who instinctively repent have no room for repentance. ”
Zhan Hui must be the most professional in this area, having been in the Criminal Department for so long,
All kinds of prisoners, Zhan Hui has seen too much,
Once the body is marked with corporal punishment, even if it is the lightest punishment, tattooing words on the face will accompany him for the rest of his life.
Anyone who sees the tattoo on the prisoner's face knows that the person has made a great mistake, and no one will give him another chance to repent.
As for the other corporal punishments, not to mention more,
However, even if Zhan Hui saw this,
He is just a knife in His Majesty's hand, so naturally he will not have any fluctuations in these matters, let alone report these things to His Majesty.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily,
The benevolence of the eldest grandson is not a false benevolence and false righteousness, shielding the criminals,
Big mistakes are punished, small mistakes are punished,
The criminal law of the Ming Dynasty is indeed too heavy,
But Zhu Yuanzhang only expressed an ambiguous attitude, and did not make a decision directly.
It is a big deal to change the law of Daming,
It's not something you can do by patting your head,
Lao Zhu has to think about it more,
But Zhu Xiongying's words obviously made Lao Zhu listen to it,
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson,
Laughed
"Eldest grandson, how do you say these people who damage the library should be punished?"
Zhu Xiongying replied without hesitation,
"Grandpa, what is the use of giving them corporal punishment when they break and stain the library collection? At that time, the book collection had been destroyed,
Anyway, we have the original version in the palace, whoever breaks and soils the book, and then let him copy ten copies by hand,
Isn't it the best of both worlds that the extra copies can be sent to the state capitals?
If you are punished with corporal punishment just for soiling your collection, who will dare to come to the library to borrow books in the future?
This is contrary to the grandson's ideal of letting the world study. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this,
Then he clutched his stomach and laughed,
"Hahahaha! You're doing a good job!
Whoever breaks one copy will copy ten copies by hand!
Who doesn't dare to have a long memory?! ”
Lao Zhu is more in agreement with the eldest grandson's method,
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhan Hui with a smug face,
show pendulum road,
"What's the matter, how is our eldest grandson?"
Zhan Hui said seriously,
"His Royal Highness the Holy Sun is benevolent, and his deeds must be no less than Your Majesty."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes widened,
Immediately upset,
"What are you talking about? What is no less than us?!
It's obvious that he's better than us now!
If you can't speak, don't speak! ”
Zhan Hui was stunned, and quickly changed his words,
"Your Highness must be the Lord of Ten Thousand Pilgrimages!"
"Humph!"
Lao Zhu snorted coldly,
"That's pretty much it!"
