"Since ancient times, literati and poets have always talked about the Qin Dynasty, saying that the cruel laws led to the demise of the Qin Dynasty.
I do not deny this, but we must be clear that there is nothing wrong with strict enforcement of the law.
What is wrong is only the unrealistic law.
The reason why men of letters hate the law is because they are worried that the law will punish them.
They shouted that the emperor committed the same crime as the common people when he broke the law, and they shouted that the punishment was not good enough for the scholar-bureaucrats.
While shouting about benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, trust, loyalty and patriotism, officials protect each other and oppress the people, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
Facts have proven countless times that failure to ensure the integrity of officials will inevitably lead to the destruction of the country.
Cutting to pieces will not stop official corruption, and other punishments will encourage corruption.
Although benevolence and righteousness are good, but without benevolence and righteousness towards crimes, who will guarantee the interests of law-abiding people?
For the future of the Ming Dynasty and the future of the people of the world, the court will pursue anyone who breaks the law to the end.
There is no need to worry that things like the Qin Dynasty will happen.
The reason why the laws of the Qin Dynasty are called evil laws is that there are indeed problems with the laws, but the problems with the people who enforce them are even greater.
The punishment is not good enough for the scholar-bureaucrats, and coupled with the selfishness of human nature and the protection of officials, it naturally becomes a bad law.
Now the imperial court has made changes and attaches great importance to the supervision of officials. Although many penalties have been increased, evidence is always important in everything.
All criminal cases will be recorded by the court, which contains the recorded information of everyone. If there are obvious injustices and loopholes, the relevant personnel will be held accountable.
For those punished for more than ten years, at least three waves of trials are required. .
Those who are sentenced to death must go through my trial and can be executed after one year.
Except for serious crimes such as robbery, rape, human trafficking, corruption, collaboration with the enemy and the country, other crimes shall not be subject to severe penalties.
All family members of criminals have the right to go to Beijing to redress their grievances, and no one is allowed to stop them. Violators will be subject to 10 years of imprisonment.
But redress of injustice does not mean that you should mess around. If you mess around, you will receive corresponding punishments. If there is true grievance in the final review, the court will provide corresponding compensation.
..... "Zhu Youjian said.
The greatest lesson people learn is to ignore lessons.
Because they did not remember the lesson, all the Han people fell into the tragic cycle of massacre every few hundred years.
Zhu Youjian will definitely break this reincarnation.
So the law is particularly important.
"The court will appropriately adjust the intensity of punishment based on the actual situation every year. It is the responsibility and obligation of the court to allow bad people to escape, good people to avoid bullying, and lawbreakers to enter. Everyone can supervise this."
"Okay, that's it for today. It has also taken up a lot of time for everyone. Let's go back in batches. Time is changing, but justice will always remain in the hearts of the people. The meaning of the Ming Dynasty is that the light will always be there and the justice will last forever. live....."
"Your Majesty, the nobles are the foundation of the world. The public opinion meeting you convened to suppress the nobles and safeguard the interests of ordinary people will shake the foundation of the country." On the way back to the palace, Wang Chengen said softly.
"No, ordinary people are the foundation of the country at this time. The nobles and nobles did play a big role in the early days of the founding of the country. If possible, I don't want to touch them, but times have changed, people's hearts have changed, and greed has changed. It is harming the country. They have long forgotten why the martyrs overthrew the previous dynasty. If nothing changes, the Ming Dynasty will fall within ten years."
