And these are discovered, and they work hard and finally get admitted to the Royal Institute of Technology. If they end up with excellent academic performance and excellent research and development capabilities, they can stay at the school to teach.
Once you stay in school to teach, even if you are just a lecturer, within a few years, you will basically get a lifelong knighthood.
In ordinary universities, in fact, many senior professors in universities can also be awarded knighthoods when they achieve sufficient results.
Generally speaking, it is less difficult to obtain a knighthood through scientific research, especially a lifetime title such as knighthood, and the proportion is also larger.
This is the special preferential treatment given by Luo Zhixue to scientific researchers. It is also intended to continuously improve and stabilize the various benefits and status of scientific researchers by continuously attaching great importance to scientific researchers and giving them various preferential treatments, so that the Dachu Empire can maintain a society that values scientific research for a long time. atmosphere.
Taking the technical route is still very reliable in the Chu Empire.
Even for the second sons of many aristocratic families, quite a few will take the technical route after joining the army... in order to make it easier to obtain the title of lifelong knight.
Speaking of which, the second sons of these nobles would work even harder than ordinary students for the title of lifelong knight.
After all, they were born in aristocratic families, and some were even in big aristocratic families... Many second sons of aristocrats often had the illusion that they were born into aristocratic families when they were young or even young: they were also nobles if they were born in aristocratic families!
But it's not!
In the Noble Law of the Dachu Empire, it is clearly written that the holder of the title is the noble and enjoys all the legitimate rights and interests of the nobles in accordance with the law. At the same time, the legal heir to the title, that is, the legitimate heir who is granted the title of Crown Prince through official recognition, enjoys certain rights in accordance with the law. Noble power.
The others... they are not nobles, they are just family members of nobles.
They can rely on the strength of their family and enjoy the glory and wealth, but... many times they will find the huge difference between themselves and their father and brother.
For example, when encountering some legal issues, as the father of a noble title holder and the eldest brother of a surnamed son, you have to arrest and try them. For those below viscount, there must be a provincial supervisory court or a provincial court. Qualifications for arrest and trial, and the final trial results must be submitted to the Grand Inspectorate and the Grand Tribunal, and will only take effect after approval.
Counts and above need to be qualified by the Grand Inspectorate and the Grand Inquisition to conduct judicial investigations and trials. Local judicial agencies do not have this power.
If this noble is an active soldier, then it will be even more troublesome. Lower-level nobles need to be approved by the judicial branch of the military service, and high-level nobles need approval from the Military Affairs Commission before they can carry out the corresponding judicial procedures... Of course, those who disobey orders on the battlefield will be shot on the spot. This kind of thing is not included, but the follow-up will be particularly troublesome, and there will be a lot of investigations, so generally they will not be shot on the spot, but will usually be arrested and then go through the formal procedures.
And the above is just theory... but when it comes to actual operation, in fact, the judicial issues for every noble will eventually be reported to the imperial court, and Luo Zhixue will decide it personally.
After all, this was a noble that Luo Zhixue personally conferred, so he could only be allowed to reduce the title and carry out the final judgment.
So in practice, you want to try a nobleman guilty and execute him... Theoretically the judiciary has this power, but in practice it doesn't...
You have to let Luo Zhixue come in person!
But Luo Zhixue generally doesn't do this... Unless it's a serious crime of treason, Luo Zhixue will not kill any of the founding heroes. Not once in the past thirty years!
The most they can do is to reduce their rank or imprison them... Of course, in the past thirty years, there have been many nobles who committed suicide out of fear of committing crimes.
Luo Zhixue is a benevolent monarch. As long as you are not plotting rebellion, he will not kill the founding heroes... They are all old brothers who conquered the world together. I can't bear it!
But according to the judicial system, the founding hero who committed a fatal crime must die... What should we do?
Just be decent yourself... If you are not decent yourself, someone will help you be decent.
Once a piece of white silk has been hung up, it won't be difficult for a few strong men to hang you up!
Not only the nobles who committed crimes committed suicide more often, but in fact, many high-ranking officials who committed crimes also chose to commit suicide. A small number of them were desperate and went on their own to protect their families or for their own dignity!
However, most of them still cried and begged, and were eventually forced to hang themselves from the rafters.
Some of them were helped by strong men to hang beams!
There are all kinds, but the result is the same: death.
Of course, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing publicly, and there will not even be any reports... The nobles and senior officials of the Chu Empire must be positive in the hearts of the people!
This involves complex situations such as official prestige and political stability, and is not a simple judicial issue.
In short, if Luo Zhixue does not kill heroes on the surface, senior officials and nobles will not commit crimes... As for privately, they deserve to die.
And the above are talking about nobles!
But as you are not a noble and have no inheritance rights, but are just the second son of a noble... From a theoretical point of view, any patrolman on the street can enforce the law against you!
Because you are just a civilian.
This huge gap in status and cognitive differences will make many second sons of nobles have a bad mentality... Therefore, many smart and sensible second sons of nobles often understand the importance of learning deeply when they are a little older. Sex, and then work hard to get into the military academy or engage in scientific research.
Because many of them are counting on obtaining a knighthood through military merit or scientific research...even if it is just the lowest knighthood.
Unfortunately, most of them fail to succeed.
The huge gap between the eldest son and the second son also triggered a series of succession issues in the Chu Empire.
This also led to the Chu Empire's very strict and complete regulations on the inheritance rights of nobles.
For example, in the early years, some second sons would obtain the right to inherit by murdering their eldest son... Even after the matter was exposed, as long as the eldest son died, the nobles would often suppress it for the smooth succession of the title.
There are even cases of nephews killing cousins just so that their noble uncles can pass the title to themselves as nephews and then inherit the title.
All these forces the empire to continuously improve the aristocratic inheritance law. In the current aristocratic inheritance law, only legitimate children have the inheritance rights, and others have no inheritance rights.
There is no inheritance right by an adopted son, nor by a nephew, nor by a concubine or an illegitimate son, all of which do not recognize his right of inheritance.
The aristocratic inheritance law of the Dachu Empire only recognizes the inheritance rights of legitimate sons. Even if you have sex with your fiancée before marriage, the son born before marriage will not have the right to inherit!
Strictly speaking, the inheritance rights of aristocrats in the Dachu Empire are based on marriage relationships...Only sons who are married to a good matchmaker and are born after marriage are eligible to inherit the title.
No matter what else you say, it will never work. I will completely close the gap for you.
As for the legitimate son who is also a legitimate son, and the second son kills the eldest son to obtain the inheritance rights, once the facts of the crime are determined, the second son's inheritance rights will be immediately deprived of. There are also detailed rules. If there is a situation where the stepmother murders the legitimate son of the ex-wife, all legitimate sons born by the stepmother will be abolished. Inheritance rights.
If you want to fight for it, kill your ex-wife's legitimate son, and then let your son inherit the title even if you are imprisoned, this situation cannot happen.
The death of every noble son must be specially investigated by the Provincial Supervisory Office and above to confirm the cause of death. If the death is abnormal, a special investigation will be launched.
In short, it is to close all the holes as much as possible... to avoid waves of palace fights, and to further seriously establish the eldest son inheritance system!
As for a series of strict aristocratic inheritance laws, especially the lack of inheritance rights for concubines, will it affect the succession of the throne?
This is actually very simple. Every concubine of the emperor of the Chu Empire is a wife... Nobles and commoners are strictly monogamous, but the emperor and the prince are not, and implement the traditional three palaces and six courtyards system!
Therefore, unlike the common people or aristocratic concubines who are not protected by law, every prince born by the emperor's concubines is a legitimate legitimate son.
It's just that the emperor's wives were also divided into levels. There was the empress, the main wife, and a group of concubines, who were lower-class wives.
Therefore, every prince of the emperor has the right to inherit...but the eldest son of the queen has the priority to inherit.
To take a step back, in fact, the so-called eldest son inheritance system in the royal family is actually just a family law finalized by Luo Zhixue himself. This royal family law is different from ordinary civil laws.
Therefore, in the Great Chu Empire, when discussing various ordinary laws, please consciously exclude the royal family, and more importantly, exclude the more special existence of the emperor!
Because, theoretically speaking, there is no law in the Chu Empire that can or is qualified to clarify or limit the emperor's power and obligations!
The emperor is not a natural person in the legal sense, but a being above the law!
And this is an important manifestation of imperial power!
Because the emperor does not clarify his power through laws, but how much freedom he grants to his subjects by enacting laws!
The same is true for the management of other members of the royal family. The Dachu Empire has a special clan structure, which has formulated a series of various regulatory systems for royal members, including the title inheritance system for royal members, and there are also internal law enforcement specifically for royal members. , judicial institutions.
In short, the royal family has its own set of internal laws and regulations, and the subjects also have their own set of laws and regulations. Each of them plays its own role. When legal disputes arise between members of the royal family and their subjects, they also handle their own affairs.
For example, if a member of the royal family has a legal problem with an ordinary person, and the outside censor conducts an investigation and finds that a member of the royal family is involved, the report will be reported and jointly investigated by the corresponding law enforcement investigation agency of the Zongren Mansion. After confirming that there is a problem, the Zong will be responsible for the matter. The imperial censor in the imperial palace prosecuted the royal family members in accordance with the rules and regulations of the family law of the royal family, and the trial court in the imperial clan conducted trials. Luo Zhixue finally approved the conviction, imposed various fines or sentenced to imprisonment, reduction of rank or even death sentence.
The measures taken are similar to military courts in the military.
Therefore, there are actually three sets of law enforcement and trial judicial institutions in the Dachu Empire: one is an ordinary institution for ordinary subjects (including various nobles and officials), one is a military judicial institution for active military personnel, and another is for The judicial branch of the clan for members of the royal family.
The three sets are related to each other, but they all exist independently of each other.
It's just that the military courts and clan mansions have nothing to do with ordinary people and can't be contacted, so the people don't know much about them.
Especially the Zongren Mansion... the people know even less about it.
This is mainly because there are currently too few royal members in the Chu Empire and they are generally out of reach of the people.
There were actually not many royal members in the Da Chu Empire. After all, it was just Luo Zhixue, some concubines, and Luo Zhixue's descendants.
It is worth mentioning that the large number of women in the harem, such as Zhaoyi, Shunv, Xiunu and other messy harem women, although they also enjoy some treatment as members of the royal family, are not considered concubines.
Only concubines who are officially canonized and above, that is, women in the harem of the three levels of "De concubine", "De concubine" and "De noble concubine", can be regarded as serious concubines and can be included in the roster of royal members. They can be buried near the emperor and enjoy the incense of future generations as members of the royal family.
Currently, these three levels of concubines have clear requirements for canonization.
After giving birth to children, they are all canonized as concubines.
If the child is a prince, he can also be directly canonized as a concubine, but Luo Zhixue rarely does this now. Now, no matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, he will only be canonized as a concubine at the beginning.
When the princes grew up one after another and became princes at the age of ten, Luo Zhixue would add the title of concubine to their mother.
When the prince reaches the age of sixteen, he is officially crowned a prince, and the concubine is formally crowned a noble concubine.
This is the end of ordinary concubines, but the family law also stipulates that if the queen has no legitimate eldest son, the eldest son of the emperor's concubine will be granted the title of prince, and the prince's biological mother can be granted the title of special 'imperial concubine'.
What this embodies is that a son is as valuable as his mother, and a mother is as valuable as her son.
In this harem system, strictly speaking, the only members of the royal family were Luo Zhixue, Queen Wang, and more than thirty concubines, concubines, and concubines.
Then there are more than 40 children and seven or eight grandchildren.
The total number adds up to just over a hundred people.
You can't even get in touch with ordinary people!
Not to mention these formal members of the royal family, even those low-level concubines who are not officially members of the royal family in theory and are not included in the concubine order, but are still treated as members of the royal family in fact, ordinary people, even those high-ranking noble officials Out of reach.
When ordinary people are out of reach, there will naturally be no conflicts, let alone the chance to come into contact with the judicial institutions of the Zongren Mansion.
Generally speaking, the royal family of the Chu Empire is in a relatively mysterious state among the people.
Even for ordinary subjects, the royal family means to them... Although they all live under the same blue sky, they live in different worlds.
Ordinary subjects know where the royal family members are...but you can't see them, let alone come into contact with them.
