at this time.
Jinghua Palace Yangxin Hall.
Xie Tianyao burst out laughing so hard that he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"What a good Liu Zhizhou, what a good one who doesn't fall for your tricks! I like it!"
"Your Majesty, this Liu Zhizhou is really... this, if this continues to develop, how can it be so great?"
Manager Zhou was away, so the person responsible for serving Xie Tianyao was naturally the deputy manager, Eunuch Huang.
Hearing that Liu Zhizhou ignored the majesty of the royal family and angrily attacked the third prince in person, Eunuch Huang naturally started to slander him for free - after all, his bastard, Ying Rong, was about to be executed.
Xie Tianyao smiled coldly and shook his head: "Manager Huang..."
When Eunuch Huang heard this title, he was so frightened that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He knelt on the ground in panic and repeatedly called the Holy One to atone for his sins. The old slave deserves to die, and the old slave talks too much.
Xie Tianyao sighed: "Do you know why I always feel that Lao Zhou is caring?"
Eunuch Huang was dripping with cold sweat and didn't dare to fart.
"Because he can understand my face!"
Xie Tianyao's eyes were like knives, piercing Eunuch Huang's back.
"I was laughing just now!"
"Understand?"
Xie Tianyao said coldly: "I was laughing just now, very happily! The Longyan Dynasty has lasted for thousands of years, and it is getting old, just like a pool of stagnant water!"
"Tell me, when has it ever been so lively?"
"Tell me, when have you ever been so happy?"
"When have you ever been so full of life?"
Eunuch Huang was so frightened that he cried.
Xie Tianyao sighed deeply: "If the building is going to collapse and the royal family is gone, how can there be any dignity?"
"If the dragon flames no longer exist, the so-called royal family will be just a joke!"
"My world is protected by the Jiedushi Envoys, not by these princes who are like wine and rice bags!"
"A prince went to Jiedushi's door and cursed?"
"Who gave him the right?"
"Who gave him the face?"
"Is it me?"
"Or you?!"
at last.
Xie Tianyao almost roared.
This made Zheng Fu, who had just wanted to enter the Yangxin Hall and explain things to the Zheng family, turn pale when she heard this, her legs almost weakened and she knelt down.
"The Queen..."
"Empress..."
Several palace maids managed to hold her up.
…
Let’s look at Liangzhou again.
The third prince was scolded by Liu Zheng in front of everyone, and the whole city was in an uproar. I heard that Xie Ling was so angry that he vomited blood that day and was bedridden. However, the Zheng family was greedy and the matter was so important that the two of them had no choice but to live in the post house arranged by Liangzhou Prefecture and make some good plans.
"Son..."
In the past few days, Liu Zhizhou's anger towards the third prince had spread throughout Longyan.
When Liu Zheng brought endless limelight, everyone was actually worried about him.
Not to mention the third prince...
How should this Zheng family's case be handled? Manager Zhou begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother every day, hoping that Liu Zheng would change his mind. Who thinks Liu Zheng is just one sentence?
"Crime must be punished and punishment must be severe!"
This day is the last day of this public trial. Early in the morning, Liu Dahao came over in a hurry, sweating profusely: "Son, do you really want to kill everyone in your family?"
Others are also persuading.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "The law is the law. If we don't kill this case, how can we establish our authority?"
actually.
He also knew that for just seven hundred taels of ink, his whole family would be executed, which was not in line with his views on future generations. In his eyes, it is inevitable for the criminal to bear the responsibility alone, and it is an inhumane act to involve other innocent people. Some people will also ask, Liu Zheng, a time traveler, why would he retain the implicated system since he reformed the judiciary?
Very simple.
Everyone's stance is different and the methods they take will be different.
What he needs at this time is super dominance!
Because, the implication system is very consistent with the current Long Yan Dynasty!
Thousands of years of dynasty decadence relied on Confucianism. From the ancestral temple of the royal family to the clan concept of those big families in ancient times, it continues to this day.
What is a clan?
From this sentence, we can see the status of the family concept in the ideological realm of the Chinese people. If you want to govern the country and bring peace to the world, you must first have the family concept. Only when you have a small family, can you have a family concept. Ambition makes everyone successful. The concept of family in ancient China is actually closely related to the feudal autocratic monarchy system that has lasted for thousands of years in China.
The prosperity and development of a family stems from the continuous incense, and the cohesion of a family determines the rise and fall of the family. Ancient Chinese people attached great importance to filial piety and ethics. Ancient Chinese politics was actually a very classic family-based politics, which was based on the family and relied on the traditional farming economy. The patriarchal system was the link that maintained social development.
so.
In this case...
Is it really possible to punish one person and serve as a warning to others?
That's definitely a joke.
If you kill one of the members of the clan, the entire clan will regard you as an enemy and want to rip you off. This can easily lead to endless social chaos.
This is why Liu Zheng still maintains the implicated system.
When it’s time to cut the grass and root out the roots, it’s time to cut the grass and root out the roots!
What he seeks is the overall situation, not a side dish.
certainly……
Liu Zheng is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt.
The Zheng family, which consists of hundreds of people, is no small matter. Zheng Fu has been running the court for so many years, and if she really angers her, she will still have to pay the price.
The convenience given to us by the emperor cannot be regarded as casual.
Yesterday's angry attack on the third prince had already expressed Liu Zheng's attitude. For this kind of thing, you still have to give him a stick and a candy.
So, he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Dad, Zheng'er has his own arrangements."
Liu Dahao looked confused.
This day.
The people had been waiting at the door for a long time, and almost all idle people in Liangzhou City came.
They are waiting to see whether the judicial system after the reform is just a showpiece. Does this Liu Zhizhou really dare to plead for the people?
Do you really dare to ignore the majesty of the royal family and punish the Zheng family?
When they saw Liu Dahao, Liu Zheng, Shen Xing and other members of the Liangzhou Prefecture team coming out, the whole place was boiling.
At this time, Ying Rong felt very empty.
Do you really want to kill him?
Do you really not even give the third prince’s face or the queen’s face?
So isn't he dead this time?
This day.
The case is closed and the verdict is pronounced.
The three judicial systems, the Supervision Department, the Sentencing Department, and the Supervision Department, after three days of pulling and pulling, are finally going to pronounce the verdict.
at this time.
The whole audience stood up.
"This Liu Zhizhou, I must have his corpse cut into thousands of pieces, his corpse into thousands of pieces!"
The third prince, watching all this from a distance, felt his heart bleed.
The five hundred members of the Zheng family, dressed as prisoners, with disheveled hair, were crying and swearing.
The Queen's clan has fallen to this point, who can bear it?
finally.
In the midst of the crowd.
Liu Zheng stood up slowly and picked up the file. His cold voice quickly spread throughout the audience.
"After the Liangzhou Prefecture Supervisory Department presented evidence and complained, the Sentencing Department determined the sentence according to the law. Zheng Guangming embezzled 700 taels of military supplies. The evidence is conclusive. He violated Article 73 of the Liangzhou Anti-Corruption Law. According to the law, he will be executed!"
The whole place buzzed, as if a pot had exploded.
Do you really want to behead him?
The Zheng family members were even more frightened.
Manager Zhou almost fainted from fright.
"But..."
Right now.
Liu Zheng said calmly: "The current queen is a mother to the world, with outstanding kindness and kindness. She is a virtuous queen who assists the emperor. The world is peaceful, the palace is stable, and her heart is as deep as a valley..."
"They are the virtuous people of Liangzhou and the stars of Yongliang..."
Everyone was stunned by this series of "sweet words".
Didn’t you say that severe punishment will not be neglected?
What are you trying to do?
The third prince also looked confused.
Manager Zhou also seemed confused.
Could it be...
Are things going to turn around?
But……
This law...
I heard Liu Zheng chuckle: "Therefore, according to the law of the Zheng family, all the members of the Zheng family will be executed. However, the hair should be cut off to serve as a warning to others!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was confused.
Cut your hair and take the lead?
I go?
Is there such an operation?
"My dear mother..."
Manager Zhou sat down on the ground with a thud, dumbfounded. In his heart, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The third prince Xie Ling also slapped his mouth. In the end, he didn't say anything and snorted coldly.
Everyone in the audience finally looked at each other.
"Young master is wise!"
"Liu Zhizhou, great kindness!"
The whole audience knelt down and shouted loudly.
People in the Zheng family also cried with joy.
"My Zheng'er, you scared daddy to death!"
Liu Dahao also secretly wiped away the cold sweat.
No one expected it.
Liu Zheng finally came up with such a solution, which is absolutely amazing!
Why?
In ancient times, the most classic example of cutting one's hair to replace one's head was Cao Cao. Because the soldiers trampled the crops, he wanted to behead himself. After being dissuaded, he cut off his hair instead of his head.
Many people commented that this was Cao Cao's cunning.
actually not.
According to the ancient clan ideology, filial piety is paramount, and the body, hair and skin are inherited from the parents. Under this mentality, hair is given by parents. Cutting off their hair is more shameful and humiliating than cutting off their heads.
so……
Cutting one's hair and taking one's head instead of one's head is actually not unacceptable as a punishment. At least in terms of trampling on dignity, it is almost the same as killing everyone.
And for the people of the Zheng family...
That's another thought.
Cut your hair to represent your head, just cut your hair to represent your head. Only when you are facing death will you know which is more precious, hair or life!
People live!
There is nothing else!
The whole audience was filled with admiration.
Ying Rong...
By this time, he had completely fainted.
The trap I set up has been broken.
"cut!"
Liu Zheng gave the order.
Liangzhou.
The smell of blood began to spread.
