Lao Zhu is basically tired of playing with these things.
On top of this, the Dismembered Corpse, Xiaoshou, Lingchi, etc. were added.
These are still recorded in the Ming Law. As for the moves secretly used by the Punishment Department, they are even more perverted.
Anyway, it’s torture of the body that creates creativity.
Zhan Hui nodded without hesitation when he heard this.
said,
"Wei Chen knows."
Zhan Hui has extremely strong business ability.
I turned around and was about to gather with the Ministry of Punishment to draft an article about this law.
For Zhan Hui, the Minister of Punishment, corporal punishment was nothing new.
Basically during the Hongwu period, anyone who broke the law would be punished corporally.
This is also in line with Lao Zhu’s principle of using heavy codes in troubled times.
Zhu Xiongying frowned slightly,
He opened his mouth and said,
"Master Zhan, wait a moment."
After Zhan Hui heard His Highness Shengsun's voice, he stopped quickly and said,
Turned around and walked back,
he knows,
Most of the time, the current Hongwu Dynasty is not decided by His Majesty;
If the things His Majesty told you were even close to being done, there would still be room for survival.
But if the things assigned by His Highness are handled poorly, then there will be no room left.
The old nail-biting households that occupied the land occupied by the Capital University were run by Lao Zhu himself.
There is no need to say more about what the outcome was.
"Your Highness, the minister is here."
Zhu Xiongying turned to look at Lao Zhu,
Said seriously,
"Grandpa, isn't such a punishment a bit too severe?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard his eldest grandson say such words, he
After thinking about it seriously,
Then he answered seriously,
"Is it heavy? We really don't feel it is heavy."
Zhu Xiongying frowned,
said,
"Just for breaking and soiling books, you will be punished with corporal punishment. It is really too severe.
Grandpa, the purpose of national laws is not only to punish and establish authority, but also to encourage people to repent.
Everyone in life will do something wrong sometimes. If you commit a serious crime, you will naturally be punished severely.
But it would be a bit too much to be subjected to corporal punishment for just some minor mistakes.
As long as corporal punishment is imposed, this pain will accompany him throughout his life. How can he repent and become a human being? "
The only voice left in Fengtian Hall was Zhu Xiongying's voice.
When Lao Zhu heard this, he held his breath and subconsciously looked at Zhan Hui. Zhan Hui also looked back at Lao Zhu.
The two looked at each other, big eyes staring at small eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Obviously, no one has ever had any objection to Lao Zhu’s usage.
In other words, His Majesty Shengsun can say a few words in His Majesty's ear.
Zhu Xiongying naturally agreed with his grandfather’s principle of using heavy codes in troubled times.
Otherwise, we would not have been silent for five years without reforming the law.
Indeed, as grandpa said, after a long period of troubled times, the Ming Dynasty was a mixed bag of fish and dragons. If there was no heavy code, there would be no way to stabilize the situation.
But the situation now is different from that then. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty has been almost twenty years old,
Now, because of Zhu Xiongying's various reforms, the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the surrounding areas are peaceful.
It would be too much to use such a severe punishment again.
For example, those villains who murder and commit adultery will not be punished no matter how severe they are.
But some people who committed petty thefts or made mistakes due to temporary evil thoughts were directly punished with physical punishment.
The physical defects caused by corporal punishment will also affect the psychology. Obviously the crime he committed is not that serious.
But because of corporal punishment, he was unable to repent throughout his life, and it would only force them to take an even more extreme path.
Zhu Xiongying’s meaning is very clear,
Punishments that are against humanity, such as corporal punishment, must be abolished.
If someone else had said these words in Lao Zhu's ears, it would be tantamount to rebellion in Lao Zhu's opinion.
But after the eldest grandson said these words, Lao Zhu looked pensive, and he was seriously thinking about what Zhu Xiongying said.
Lao Zhu muttered,
"Eldest grandson, what you said does make sense.
For some people who have not committed such serious crimes, it is indeed too much to blindly subject them to corporal punishment.
Zhan Hui, what do you think? "
Zhan Hui was stunned.
He opened his mouth and said,
"Your Majesty, I think it is a great good thing that Your Highness has a charitable heart.
Indeed, as His Highness said, corporal punishment leaves no room for repentance for some people who instinctively repent. "
Zhan Hui is definitely the most professional in this area. He has been working in the Ministry of Justice for so long.
Zhan Hui has seen too many prisoners of all kinds.
Once the body is subjected to corporal punishment, even the lightest form of tattooing or tattooing on the face will remain with him for the rest of his life.
Anyone who sees the tattoo on the prisoner's face knows that he has made a big mistake and no one will give him another chance to repent.
As for other corporal punishments, there is no need to say more.
However, even if Zhan Hui saw this,
He is just a knife in His Majesty's hand. Naturally, he will not have any fluctuations in these matters, let alone report these matters to His Majesty.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded thoughtfully,
The eldest grandson's kind heart is not a hypocritical act of kindness and righteousness to protect criminals.
Big mistakes will be punished with big punishments, small mistakes will be punished with small punishments,
The criminal law of the Ming Dynasty was indeed too severe.
But Zhu Yuanzhang only expressed an ambiguous attitude and did not make a direct decision.
It is a big thing to change the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
It's not something you can do just by patting your head.
Lao Zhu needs to think more.
But Zhu Xiongying’s words obviously made Lao Zhu listen.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson,
smiled and said,
"Eldest grandson, how do you think these people who damage the library's books should be punished?"
Zhu Xiongying replied without hesitation,
"Grandpa, they broke and soiled the library's books. What's the point of giving them physical punishment? The books had already been destroyed by then.
Anyway, we have the original version in the palace. If anyone breaks it and soils the collection of books, just let him copy ten copies.
The extra copies can also be sent to state capitals. Isn’t this a way to get the best of both worlds?
If he would be punished corporally just for soiling the collection of books, who would dare to come to the library to borrow books in the future?
This runs counter to Sun's ideal of letting people all over the world study. "
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this.
Then he held his stomach and laughed, saying,
"Hahahaha! What a great idea you have!
Whoever breaks one copy will make ten copies!
Let’s see who doesn’t dare to have a long memory? ! "
Lao Zhu is more in agreement with his eldest grandson’s method.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhan Hui with a proud look on his face,
Show off,
"How about our eldest grandson?"
Zhan Hui said seriously,
"His Royal Highness Shengsun is kind and virtuous, and his achievements must be no less than those of Your Majesty."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes widened.
I immediately became unhappy.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean, no less than us?!
It's obvious that he is better than us now!
If you can’t speak, don’t speak! "
Zhan Hui was stunned by the reprimand and quickly changed his words.
"Your Highness must be the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Pilgrimages!"
"snort!"
Lao Zhu snorted coldly,
"That's pretty much it!"
