The final chapter and the new book notice
In the autumn of the second year of the Great Cause, Luoyang banned the Taiji Palace.
Taiji Palace, as the imperial city of the New Dynasty of the Great Liang, one of the most significant features is grandeur. The reason why the Taiji Palace was built so grandly is not only exaggerated, but there is another reason, that is, there is too much labor.
The labor force mentioned here is mainly a large number of prisoners of war who are attached to the Hu people. After being crushed by the powerful soldiers of the Great Liang Dynasty, these Hu people who gathered a crowd to make trouble were almost captured or surrendered in a tribe. This brings up a problem, that is, it is not easy to settle.
It must be known that these prisoners of war themselves are not good, leaving Jiage is a wanderer, and picking it up again is a disorderly people, and if they are to be properly settled, they must have strong force to deter.
After the Great Liang Wangshi conquered the Kingdom of Liang and unified the north and south, the front of the troops was bound to point to the areas that had not yet been pacified on the four sides, and it was impossible to stay in the place to monitor the resettlement of these Hu people.
Of course, there is one place that is an exception, and that is Tianzhong Heluo. Heluo was the base camp of the Quadrilateral Princes who returned to China to recuperate after a long battle, and it was also the absolute center of the emerging empire, with a main combat force of more than 100,000 people, which was a military advantage that other regions did not have.
Because of this, the Huliu people are concentrated in Heluo, and their original internal structure is gradually disintegrated through labor, and the heavy labor can wear away the ferocity accumulated by these Huzhong people over the years, reorganize and distribute, and then take Luoyang as the center to transport service to the four sides, which can prevent these Huzhong from rebelling to the greatest extent, and can also retain these labor forces to the greatest extent and devote them to the reconstruction after a long war.
For example, after the division of the king of Shu sent troops to the south, Luozhong collected and reorganized nearly 20,000 people of Qihu Ding Zhuang and then left, except for some of them who needed to stay in Xiangyang to undertake lifelong labor, the rest needed to enter the southern and central areas of southern Shu in batches after Shuzhong was pacified, and became the pioneer pawns of the royal division to continue to go south.
Although it is still nominally under the control of China, it is actually ruled by the local Tu clan such as the Jiao clan before and after the coup d'Γ©tat in the east of the old Jin Jiangdong. Even in the case of the creation of the Great Liang and the announcement of the Liang envoy to the south, it fell on deaf ears, and the heart of disobedience was clearly revealed.
At present, the Liang has just unified the United States, and the people's livelihood and industries urgently need to be revived, and for the time being, there is not enough control to completely subjugate the remote area of Ningzhou, but it does not mean that those unruly Tuzong will turn a blind eye, and let it become bigger and even threaten the restoration of Shuzhong after that, and it is also the right thing to give the necessary beating to force it to surrender.
It is precisely because of the abundance of such labor force that the speed of Tianzhong Xingchuang is also amazing.
The Taiji Palace has a grand regulation, which also brings a relatively helpless result, that is, the prohibition of servitude, especially the serious shortage of people in the inner garden. The eunuchs in the palace in the garden are worth thousands of people.
Of course, there are not many saints and concubines today, but only one queen and two concubines, even if you add the children, it is more than enough for a thousand people to serve.
But on the one hand, the existence of palace eunuchs is not just a simple matter of serving daily food and clothing, many necessary rules and etiquette have a fixed number, and on the other hand, the scale of the forbidden garden is large, and the distribution of thousands of palace eunuchs is really deserted and empty, so that the forbidden garden has been open for more than a year, and there are still many areas that have been sealed and abandoned.
Based on this, His Majesty the Emperor once proposed in Asahi that instead of leaving the palace to be abandoned, it would be better to let some areas open up for civilian use. However, as soon as this suggestion was put forward, it was rejected by the ministers.
Joke! Even if the new dynasty is established and it needs to be thrifty, it is not bad for His Majesty the Emperor's houses.
What's more, the location of the forbidden garden is related to the safety of the king, such as today, it is the gathering of times and the complexity of the taste, once the ban is opened, the pressure and consumption of the guards brought by it are much greater than the little benefit that can be received, and the gains outweigh the losses.
If this fails, it is not appropriate to let the Forbidden Garden go to waste. There was no shortage of ministers who proposed to recruit the good people to fill the palace and use it, but this issue was vetoed by His Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor is worried about the frequent movement of large armies, heavy military spending, and a vast territory that needs to be restored urgently. At this time, a person is eager to be divided into two people, and women are also not inferior to Ding Zhuang's precious labor force.
In the end, the queen Sima Shi, who was still in charge of the inner garden, proposed a compromise plan, that is, the edict to send the foreign women into the garden, and the ten days were for a period of time, and they were replenished in turn.
The imperial court rewarded meritorious service, and the families of those meritorious people naturally received the reward of their husband's rank. Most of these wives have nothing to do, and in addition to their husbands and children, they still have a lot of leisure time, and many of them have family roots and extraordinary talents, and they are more than enough to enter the palace and still serve in the court, and this interaction between the inner court and the outer court can also strengthen the stability of the entire ruling group.
The queen's suggestion was also recognized by the ministers of the foreign court, so it was formally established in the second year of the great cause. It has been implemented for nearly half a year, and the effect is outstanding, and there is even no lack of talent for the wife, who has been rewarded by the queen, and even has surpassed the extension of the master's meritorious service.
If the internal and external courts are operating in an orderly manner, after the autumn, the matter of cutting down Shu is also going smoothly, His Majesty the Emperor should be in a good mood, but a recent incident has made him irritable, so that he is still indignant and gloomy when he returns to the palace and returns to the Changqiu Palace, where the queen lives.
The lord of the queen's inner palace, if he is really busy, is not much easier than His Majesty the Emperor, although it is not a military priority, but it is much more tedious and detailed.
But in addition, her more important identity is naturally as a wife, and when she learned that the emperor had returned to the garden, she returned as soon as possible. Stepping into the palace gate, she saw His Majesty the Emperor's gloomy face, she waved her hand sideways, signaled the palace people to withdraw, and personally carried a plate of candied steamed pears into the palace.
Hearing the footsteps, His Majesty the Emperor was half-lying on the couch, waiting to see the steamed pears in the tray, and his brows furrowed even more: "Good pears, raw and crisp and sweet, but they have to be steamed and ruined." β
He was upset and unhappy. When the queen heard this, she laughed, stepped forward and snuggled the emperor's side, picked up a steamed pear and cut it with a bamboo knife, and handed it to the emperor's mouth with a smile: "The husband is depressed, if the concubine is docile and docile, there is no mistake to pick, isn't there no way to vent?" It's better to scold me for being frustrated than to see me look disgusting. β
As they grow younger, especially after a huge leap in identity, the emperor's vigorous side is more revealed, but the queen has become more and more gentle and amiable, and the impetuous arrogance of her youth has completely faded.
"I'm angry with a few fools from the outer court, what does it have to do with the lady? Are they worthy of disharmony between my husband and wife? β
When the emperor heard this, his sullenness dissipated a little, took the bamboo skewer of the forked pear, took the pear piece into his mouth, and scolded while chewing: "The ancestral child is too disgusting, and he is proud of his achievements!" Zhongshu has been elected several times, and all of them have resigned, this is looking down on me Liang Mingju? When my patience is exhausted, I will condemn his father for his old sins and take away his lordship! β
Saying that, he took the initiative to pick up a piece of steamed pears again, and shared it with the queen, thinking that the crispness was lost, and it must be sweet and greasy, but it was unexpectedly not flavorful, especially one of the tea fragrances, with the astringency of the tea leaves neutralized by the sugar pickles, and the pear flavor was cleverly integrated, but it was very smooth, and then asked: "Mrs. Jin sent it?" β
Mrs. Jin Guo is Mrs. Wei of Ma Yan of Jin Guo Company, and now she is also working in the garden, but her job is still secondary, and she mainly takes care of her own business.
There are many women in the garden, and at present, the country is frugal and frugal, and even the output of the artifacts of the Shendu Imperial Workshop has regulations, and the powerful people dare not overstep it. But there are exceptions, that is, Ma Yan, the favored and honored Jin State Company, and the jade food and delicacies business is getting bigger and bigger.
After hearing this, the queen nodded, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "That kid is becoming more and more rampant, but everyone under the sect is as extravagant as him, and the price of a steamed pear is actually five hundred yuan." Previously, there were 3,000 newly steamed pieces in the workshop, and I had already asked people to seal them and send them to Shouxing Palace, and he was not allowed to make new ones. Aung is full of guests, take and eat as you go. β
Shouxing Palace is the expansion of Emperor Xuanren Xiaocheng Hidden Residence, and now it is the palace of Emperor Shen Chong.
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, his father had a righteous and heroic temperament, and his family was the head of Jiangdong, and he was not burdened by wealth in his life. Now respected as the emperor, life is not as comfortable as in previous years, after all, the country is still thrifty, and the emperor does not want to give people the impression of extravagance, so that occasionally new meals are added, and he actually has to rely on his own wife to fight the autumn wind of the mother's house.
"This kind of thing should be done as little as possible, although Shigen doesn't dare to resent, but he has already sent a letter to Ah He saying that the children's makeup will be greatly lost."
Sima Yan and Shen Jin have already decided on their children and in-laws, and sent a letter to Shen Jin, who was far away in Chang'an, to complain and even threaten to make up for him in the future, which shows that the queen has made a lot of raids.
It's just that the queen's method is too rough in the emperor's opinion, and the food is not very good, and after a pause, he said to the queen: "I heard that Shigen's secret work "Yugu Diet Sutra", a good method of recording the exquisite work of the valley, this is from the diet into the scriptures, which is gratifying. It's a pity that he is too self-cherishing, and the school secretary of Chongwen Hall can't visit a few times, and he can't record the library, which is a pity. Taking away people's property is not beautiful after all, so why not visit Taoism? Beautiful utensils and delicacies, what people want, simple clothes and food are not a good state of prosperity, the coming year is salty on all sides, the country is prosperous, and the grand event of the great drunken sages is indispensable, and it is always not good to treat guests in the rough valley......"
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help laughing, raised her hand and knocked on the emperor's shoulder, and showed her past coquettish posture: "You are really a good brother-in-law, and I always take responsibility for the evil relatives!" β
At this time, Luo Nan Jishanfang Jin State Mansion, Ma Yan of the Jin State Company, who was studying in the study and refining the food scriptures, suddenly sneezed heavily, and at this time he didn't know that the gluttonous couple in the garden was no longer satisfied with daily blackmail, but had already aimed at this fine method cheats that he was still cultivating and innovating to build a food empire!
chatting with the queen in detail, the emperor was in a much better mood, and then mentioned the reason for his irritability just now, and his mentality was slightly calmer: "The ancestor is a young and disobedient person, but he gave birth to a good son." Zu Qing has repeatedly resigned from Taiwan, and he wants to return to the north, saying that it is difficult to give up, and I also know what he is for, without losing a person who is very affectionate and sexual. But how can a talented person blindly follow people's feelings? He was so stubborn, but it made me embarrassed. β
The emperor was angry with Zu Qing before, but he was not really angry and disgusted with him. On the contrary, he admires Zu Qing very much, and Zu Qing's bizarre background and his merits in Fengxi Nantou, and the reuse of his people is a great flaunt for the people of Hebei. Otherwise, it would not be frequently appointed under Zu Qing's repeated resignations.
In fact, as early as the first year of the Great Cause, Zu Qing wrote a letter asking for a return to the north, and explained the reasons in detail. For such a temperamental person who does not love fame and is difficult to let go of the old man, the emperor naturally appreciates it.
However, at that time, the Liang chapter system was newly decided, and people everywhere in Hebei still had doubts about the new dynasty, and Zu Qing's deeds were too dazzling. Such a return to righteousness and meritorious deeds, the imperial court could not be used, but was released into the wilderness, and fell in the eyes of the people of Hebei, which will undoubtedly deepen their concerns about the southward journey. Because it was about these recitals, the emperor kept them and did not send them.
Of course, there is another consideration in this. Although Zu Qing's deeds are very touching, the people involved are too sensitive, and his wife is the daughter of Zhang Jackal, a powerful minister of the state of Jin, which is one of the reasons why the emperor is reluctant to publicize it.
Hebei has been devastated by war for a long time, who does not have a few touching stories of righteousness? However, from the perspective of governance, the lack of private emotional trade-offs interferes with the level of national policy and policy.
Hebei has been in turmoil for a long time, and the new people are undecided. The emperor was planning to take advantage of the desolation of the system created under the tyranny of Shi Hu to establish a new system of rules and regulations in Hebei, among which the remnants of the Hao clans in Hebei were the targets that needed to be eliminated, and this policy would last for a long time.
This was a very serious and sensitive purge, and the emperor wanted to use the deterrence of absolute force to aggravate the panic of the remnants of these wealthy families in Hebei, so that they could not see the slightest room for reciprocal treatment, so they would obediently obey the arrangement of the imperial court and leave the countryside to choose a place to settle.
What would happen if he opened up to Zu Qing because he was moved by human affection?
At that time, there will be countless incidents like Zu Qing's emerge, and they can be guaranteed to be verifiable. Because the existence of these Hebei wealthy families is one and the same, they have both the side of taking root in the countryside and stealing the people's popularity, and the side of sheltering the villagers and trying to protect Sangzi.
But now, what the imperial court needs to emphasize is not whether they are righteous or not, but the need to fully implement the implementation of the rules and regulations in Hebei. If there is an example like Zu Qing at this time that can be opened by the net and is widely known, then no one can be sure whether the disturbance of human feelings and the recurrence of the situation will be big or small.
Your ancestor Qing returned to righteousness because of the help of a righteous woman, and the holy family was so thick that even Zhang Jackal's daughter could be rescued. But we also strive to defend the countryside, so hundreds of thousands of villagers can live, and now we do not seek recognition, but only to be able to live in the countryside. If the imperial court is so mean that it can't even agree to this, then what is the difference between it and Shi Hu, the tyrant who ravaged Hebei?
The general trend is magnificent, but the price of blood and tears is specific to some individuals, and it will make people feel painful.
Of course, the emperor can also visit the ancestral family, but after this secret decree leaves the capital, someone must implement it, and the reason why the wealthy family is difficult to get rid of is that the relationship between the spider and the silk web, if a certain link is leaked in the process of implementation, will the ministers in the court follow this to ask for help? Does the emperor want to say yes again? One family and two networks are open, so should the decree be implemented?
In order to put an end to the request, the emperor even sent Cui Lu, the representative of Hebei Renwang, to Jiangdong, and the concubine Cui Ling also accompanied her mother to live in the Longmen Dojo.
He just wants to use this resolute attitude to completely put an end to the luck psychology of those wealthy families in Hebei, and the Qinghe Cui clan is in the first batch of southward migration lists.
Not moving? Do you think that the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are not beautiful enough to settle down, or do you feel that your neck is harder than a blade?
Therefore, the emperor appreciates and sympathizes with Zu Qing on the one hand, but he will not show favoritism and open an opening that cannot be contained.
The queen quietly listened to the emperor's explanation, she was a sensual woman after all, and when she heard the life and death oath between Zu Qing and Zhang's daughter in such a dangerous situation, her eyes soon turned red. Of course, it is only sympathetic, and I will not blame my husband for being strong-hearted.
After listening to the emperor's story, the queen was silent, and after a while, she suddenly said: "The day before yesterday, the Fang newspaper entered the garden, do you want to read it now?" β
The so-called newspaper is a kind of supervision and miscellaneous music. The Liang chapter system is determined, and the supervision matters are in charge of the imperial historical platform, but the main responsibilities of the imperial historical platform are still in the supervision, impeachment, and upright official etiquette.
The original Si Litai was also retained, but it was no longer a separate outer court, but hung under the supervision of the secretary of the provincial palace, becoming a similar existence of internal officials, and the division was to collect the style and visit the secret, mainly to collect the customs and things of the people in the city and the countryside, and to gather into a newspaper for the emperor to read.
The content of the newspaper is very extensive, and some of the conclusive ones are related to the people's livelihood and the folk customs of the festival festival in the township. But there are also many rumors and absurd records, similar to rural rumors, gossip and family affairs.
I don't want everything to be conclusive, I just want to be able to record all aspects that reflect the style of the heavens. When the emperor has nothing to do, he often looks at it as a pastime, and he can also understand the people's situation more clearly.
The emperor nodded after hearing the words and ordered the palace people to bring the newspaper to the palace.
The content of the newspaper is extensive and cumbersome, and there are more than 100,000 words in one issue. After the emperor took it, the first thing he read was the first edition of the city situation, which mainly recorded the price fluctuations of mainstream goods such as grain and salt in the capital and several large cities, which also best reflected the current state of people's livelihood.
When he saw that the price of grain had risen by nearly 50% compared with last month, the emperor still couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing that the people's livelihood was still fragile at the moment.
In the early years, the Northern Expedition to destroy the Kingdom of Qi and recover Hebei was related to the unification of the community, and the rest did not need to be discussed. However, now that the overall situation of reunification has been decided, the people's livelihood can no longer be ignored.
Although this year's war in Shuzhong is only a regional war, the price of grain has more than doubled compared with the beginning of the year, of course, this is also because Jiangzhou, as one of the main granaries, is only for the Shu army and has no export, but it can also be seen that the military has a deep impact on people's livelihood.
After the overall situation of reunification was initially decided, in order to maintain the stability of the overall situation, many military forces had no choice but to uncontrollably mobilize without restraint. Of course, it is impossible to completely stop the army, not to mention that the territory has not been completely recovered, and the frontier has not been completely stabilized.
Three years of storage, one year of battle, this is a relatively stable rhythm. If it is more frequent, it will affect the recovery of vitality in various places.
Flipping through these relatively boring report documents, you will find the gossip content that the emperor is more interested in, and it is people's interest to spy on privacy, which His Majesty the Emperor is not exempt from.
In this gossip chapter, a strange case was first introduced that made the emperor interested. It is about the Luoyang County Bureau that arrested a fugitive, and after careful interrogation, it was found that this fugitive was simply a treasure boy, and the inside story was really rich and exciting.
This is not an ordinary fugitive, he settled in Tongjifang in the southwest of Luoyang in the first year of his great career, and married a wife and settled down under the auspices of the fang, and married a widow. But as everyone knows, the widow's original husband did not die, but went into exile, and returned to Luoyang in the middle of the year and found the widow.
How can a daughter be matched with a second husband? Because the widow lost her child at home and had a young son to support, she had no choice but to ask for an official match from the newspaper office, and she didn't want her husband to return. Later, the husband could not bear the widow's injury, so he left the house on his own initiative, and the former husband entered the house to reunite with his wife and children.
If you look at the nostalgia and folk customs, this can be regarded as a troubled era and a successful result. But in the eyes of Daliang Lawling, since the stephusband has settled down and started a family, he ran away without permission to escape, and the ex-husband Guiluo did not report to the government but occupied someone else's house, which was for impersonation, and the widow did not report it if he knew it, it was for hiding, which can be said to be a crime for all three!
The most serious of these three charges is the crime of fugitive from the husband, and the case is serious and even beheaded, and the lighter ones are sentenced to a minimum of two years. The ex-husband's impersonation is also punishable by imprisonment depending on the circumstances of the case.
The widow is guilty of concealment and is exempt from the fine, but if she fails to pay the fine, she is liable to imprisonment or hard labor. Moreover, when the woman was seeking an official match, she misreported the information, which can be described as fraud, and several crimes were punished together, and the responsibility for the crime was also not light.
The criminal law of Daliang is very strict in the control of households, which is to prevent the shadow of local tyrants and power to swallow the people. More than 10 households, and even need to be interrogated jointly by all the divisions to eliminate favoritism.
The Emperor was intrigued by this case and read it several times.
This incident, in essence, is a tragic incident derived from the chaos of the world. The three people involved in the case were not wrong in fact, but the actions of the three of them did violate the provisions of Liang Law.
So is it because the laws of Daliang are strict, the law is not merciful, and the people are tortured?
It must be known that since Yongjia, after years of war, after the founding of the Great Liang, it is necessary to put everything back on track as soon as possible in the shortest possible time, and the revision of the law is to ensure social stability.
These three people have broken the law now, but before that, they are all protected and benefited by the law of the Great Liang.
That step-husband, who was originally a deceased family in Guanzhong, had no township industry to maintain his health, and after years of conscription and labor, he benefited from the accumulation of things, successfully settled in Luoyang, and had a family of his own.
As for the woman, she has no one to rely on, and she has to support the son left by her ex-husband, and the difficulty of life can be imagined. Because he joined the official match presided over by the government, he once again found a support, and his survival situation has greatly improved.
As for the ex-husband, it was thanks to the virtue and politics of the court's relocation that he had the opportunity to return to his hometown and successfully found his relatives.
It can be said that if there is no such complex and entangled relationship between these three people, then there will be three different happy stories, each with a joy. But now because they are mixed together, each has its own mistakes and has its own rules.
The reason why the emperor paid attention to this incident was not out of the gossip psychology of exploring the strange things, but that similar incidents were by no means an isolated case. The imperial court is not wrong, and Li Min is not wrong, so whose fault is it?
In other words, in the past, it can still be attributed to the raging of Hu and the chaos of our country. But now, this is the unshirkable responsibility of the Liang court, how to ensure that under the premise of the steady progress of the great goal of social rejuvenation, as much as possible to reconcile the conflict between national law and morality.
This incident is only recorded in the newspaper, and the subsequent development is not recorded in the newspaper.
The emperor put down the newspaper, took up the pen and paper, and sent the envoy to the secretary's province, so that they could sort out the relevant files and send them to the palace as soon as possible.
Although the administrative efficiency of the Liang court was high, it also took time for the Chinese envoys to exchange and collect the files. Taking advantage of this time, the emperor dined in the Empress Changqiu Palace. In the meantime, the sons of the Xuan Palace also returned to the garden to greet them, and the emperor listened to them tell some interesting stories about the palace.
The palace is located in the southwest of the Taiji Palace, on the high post on the north bank of Luoshui, and is divided into the upper and lower palaces, mainly for the children of the Shen royal family and the in-laws and nobles. From this point of view, it can be said to be the aristocratic school palace of the Great Liang Empire.
However, His Majesty the Emperor himself did not like to keep his children in the deep palace and grow up in the hands of women, nor did he want his sons to have too narrow social circles since childhood.
Therefore, in addition to the royal family and the children of the nobles, when the school palace was completed at the beginning of the year, the emperor specially ordered the state schools to hold a children's examination, and the young and intelligent people from the Shishu families in all states were admitted to the school, so as to expand the source of students in the palace, so that the sons could study with students of different identities and villages, so as to broaden their knowledge.
After the meal, it was not too early for the emperor to return to the palace, and it happened that the secretary of the province also sent in the previous case file, so he took it to continue to understand.
The person in charge of hearing this case was the judicial Cao under the Luoyang County Order, and the emperor first read Cao Wei's verdict.
This verdict first established the fact that the three were convicted together, and the fugitive husband was conclusive, and he was sentenced to five years in prison. The ex-husband was sentenced to 600 miles in prison for three years.
The reason why the punishment for the two crimes of the ex-husband is lighter than that of the second crime of the step-husband is also because the law of Liang is a law that stands on the perspective of the ruler after all. Evasion is a real loss of tax sources, and impersonation does not lose the registered population in terms of results, of course, if the impostor has theft, omission and other behaviors, sentencing is another standard.
As for the woman caught in the middle, it is a crime for the ex-husband to ask for an official match, it is a crime to conceal the impersonation of the ex-husband, and it is another crime to force the household to leave, and the punishment for several crimes is combined, and the punishment is to be sent to the Luoyang Silk Weaving Official Workshop for five years, or to be punished in the household, and it is necessary to pay 20 horses of silk to the government every year.
Regardless of the severity of Liang Law's sentencing for the time being, since there is a criterion, it must be adhered to. The conviction of these three men is reasonable or severe, but the law cannot be changed.
However, this is only a part of the long judgment, and it is only about the content of the "Law of Great Karma". The law of Daye is the highest level of the law of Daliang, and then it is a lower level, as well as the laws of Baomin, Fangyi, etc., which are also the interpretation and supplement of the law of Daye.
Among them, the law of protecting the people is mainly aimed at the laws and decrees of the registered households, guiding and restricting their life and production, and it can also be said to be the guarantee of the personal rights and interests of the registered people under the law of great cause. As for the Fang Yilu, it is equivalent to a resident contract between the townships and villages, mainly to deal with disputes over daily interpersonal relationships.
The actions of these three people are also involved in the scope of these two laws to varying degrees. Among them, the Baomin Law stipulates that all those who have completed their military service and become naturalized will not be subject to second service within five years if they have committed a crime related to the law of imprisonment.
In other words, once the previous punishment of imprisonment has been completed, even if there is a violation of the law after that, as long as it is not a heinous crime, there is no need to accept the punishment of imprisonment. Other forms of punishment may be chosen, or the punishment may be imposed after more than five years.
Although the law is not merciful, but the law is nothing more than love, the summer is new, the people have suffered for a long time, the new rules and regulations are unavoidable, and there will be no second battle within five years, this is to ensure that the labor force of the people can have time to recuperate. You will have five years to work hard and accumulate a little savings, even if you accidentally violate the ban again, the whole family will not collapse suddenly.
The ex-husband and the step-husband involved in the case are both people who have completed their previous hard labor, but the difference is that the ex-husband has not yet been naturalized, and the step-husband has been naturalized, so the step-husband is within the scope of protection under this order.
There is another provision in the Baomin Law, that is, those who have returned to their naturals will not be levied for three years. As long as the ex-husband returns to his hometown and reinstated, he can be exempted from re-expropriation within three years.
As a result, the two men were given suspended sentences ranging from three to five years. In addition to this probation period, it is also necessary to examine the quality of the evaluation of their previous labor service completion, and if they are in the highest grade, they can also obtain a reduction in the first degree. With the inclusion of this standard, the sentences of each of the two men were shortened.
As a contract for villagers, Fangyilu is more flexible. In this case, a group of people ranging from 10 to 100 will be selected for consultation, and if the offender can unite with his neighbors and have a good evaluation among the villagers, then the sentence can also be commuted according to the law, which is called credit reporting. Of course, if the offender commits another crime in the future, the villagers who participated in the consultation will also bear the punishment such as a fine.
In addition, the law of righteousness also stipulates that the ten virtues of the township, such as harmony, diligence, filial piety and other conduct, as long as the examples can be cited and recognized, then the prohibited person can also obtain different degrees of commutation.
The post-husband's sentence was reduced by one class, and there were five cases of township righteousness, and the credit was excellent, so the final sentence was one year of service, and he could choose to be executed in the workshop. Labor in the workshop is far easier than manual labor, and it is nothing more than public affairs such as watching, cleaning, taking care of the widows and lonely neighbors, and participating in the labor of the fang market, although it is still a punishment, but it has been greatly reduced compared with five years of futile labor.
As for the ex-husband, although he was also in the army, he had no township matters and no credit, so the sentence of 30 months' imprisonment was still upheld.
But the ex-husband also has a reason to reduce the sentence, that is, to protect the orphan, he has a minor son, in addition to the exemption of three years, if he can raise the son well until he reaches adulthood, then he can be enforced after the son reaches adulthood.
However, the prerequisite for the orphan is to save one, in other words, if the son still has a mother, that is, the woman is still willing to marry her former husband, then after three years she will be sentenced to 30 months of imprisonment.
As for this woman, she is not in service and cannot be commuted, but she has two township righteousness, excellent credit reporting, and one degree reduction as appropriate. In addition, as a registered household wife, her husband and children and other immediate family members can also serve on her behalf.
The final result of the matter was that the woman chose to reconcile with her ex-husband, was willing to continue to maintain the official marriage, and fined the silk weaving official workshop to serve for one year. The ex-husband and his son were resigned, and the sentence of 300 miles of imprisonment was suspended for 10 years and 30 months. The husband was willing to help his wife share the period of servitude, and finally received 18 months of servitude, and chose to carry it out immediately.
After reading this final verdict, the emperor found that it was a little more serious than his previous judgment. There is another point in the law of righteousness, that is, the orphan mother does not abandon her, and the sentence is commuted as appropriate, that is, the woman did not abandon her son when she was helpless, and the sentence can also be commuted.
However, in the judgment of Luoyang Judicial Cao Wei, this article was not cited, obviously thinking that since the ex-husband is still alive, the woman is not qualified to cite this article to reduce the sentence, which shows that the sentence is fair and strict.
This result is naturally not happy for everyone, although the three of them have their sentences commuted, they also have to take responsibility for their own mistakes.
In fact, they could have avoided it, and only needed to report to the officials to seek an official solution when the dispute arose, but they did not, but chose to deal with it privately and illegally, thus violating the prohibition and no one else.
Putting down the file in his hand, the emperor took up the pen again and copied the name of the Luoyang judicial Cao Wei who executed the verdict.
He had a small notebook in which he recorded the names of officials who he found potential and worthy of cultivation in his daily official duties. It is one thing that the Daliang Law is set up to be perfect and thorough, but the effect still depends on the specific person who implements it.
This judgment, while maintaining the solemnity of Liang Law, can cite regulations and take into account human feelings, which shows that this judicial Luoyang County Lieutenant is also a cadre and deserves to be promoted to a more important position.
From this case, the emperor thought of many things, including the problem of Zu Qing, who had made him quite irritated before.
In fact, following the line of thought of the judgment of the Luoyang County Lieutenant, Zu Qing's problem is not without a compromise solution. It's just that as the emperor's vision became higher and higher, the state and military affairs were busy, and he had less and less energy and no interest in considering specific affairs from the details.
He admired Zu Qing correctly, but the army of Vanshu had just gone south to officially start the war, and there was also the problem of the restoration of the north and the south, and when it came to a certain person, he tended to deal with it in a simpler and more direct way. The government and the opposition are full of time, and if everyone needs the emperor to put himself in his shoes, then there is no need to deal with other affairs.
However, since it has been touched and enlightened, it may as well be solved.
In the afternoon of the next day, Zu Qing, who had been trapped in the capital for a long time, got the provincial order of Zhongshu again and was able to enter the garden. After entering the temple, he first apologized for his sins without crowns, and exchanged letters several times in the province, which shows the importance and cultivation of the saint to him, but because of his stubbornness that is difficult to give up his old feelings, he has repeatedly given it, but in fact, he does not know how to elevate it.
Seeing the young man kneeling in front of him, the emperor couldn't help but be angry, and he couldn't help but give a banquet, so he said directly: "The chapter of the country, the famous lord of the court, some people can't ask for it, and some people can't resign." I am not stingy, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, talents must be awarded, the flow of escape, although virtuous and scum, Zu Bo feels that he is not among them? β
When Zu Qing heard this, his forehead was covered with cold sweat again, and he bowed to the ground again, and said in a trembling voice: "The behavior of ministers and ministers is scum, and they have failed Jun's grace...... But the old feelings linger, the mind is disordered, and I am afraid that it will be useless, and the harm will be even deeper......"
"That Zhang girl is He Dexin and the like, who has harmed me to the top, and I am also curious to see it. Since you have such a heart, you don't have to be reluctant, and you are allowed to return to the north to visit your hometown, but you can only do both, not specialize. If the matter is leaked, go back to Luoyang immediately to receive the punishment! β
Seeing Zu Qing like this, the emperor didn't say anything, and threw an appointment edict signed by his subordinates to Zu Qing: "Go to the Zhongshu, and start immediately after receiving the award, you don't have to come again." β
Zu Qing took the edict with trembling hands, and found that it was written that his new appointment was that he was the deputy envoy of the Heshuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the secretary of the Jizhou Assassin's Mansion to join the army.
After receiving the order, Zu Qing did not stay any longer, and after receiving the talisman in Zhongshu Province, he led his subordinates to the north on the same day.
Although he was eager to visit his wife, he also felt deeply gracious and did not dare to disregard the appointment because of his personal feelings.
The deputy envoy he served as the commander of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was from the five-grade ministry, and the Jizhou Assassin's Mansion was the sixth grade, although both were low-ranking positions, but they were both in and out of the Governor's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion, which was obviously a pivotal figure in communicating Hebei's military and political affairs, and concurrently served as a criminal reward matter, which can be described as a humble position.
After traveling north, Zu Qing met with Shen Mu and Xie Ai respectively, and also received the tasks assigned by them.
The content of the mission is also closely related to Zu Qing's previous experience in Hebei, he has served in the Hebei Imperial Court for many years, and once served as an important Praetorian Guard general and participated in high-level coups, and he also has a deep understanding of Hebei characters.
The task given to Zu Qing by Shen Mu, the king of Bohai, was to search for the evildoers in the state and find out those who had conclusive evidence of guilt, and punish them severely.
This kind of mission was actually going on long before Zu Qing entered the country. However, there is another problem in this, that is, the rule of the state of Qiang is cruel and extensive, and there is the toss of moving the capital and coup, and there is no written record of how many people in Hebei entered the captive court and aided the abuse, and what kind of crimes they committed.
If we fail to strictly investigate the facts of the crime and punish all criminals, it is inevitable that there will be wrongs or omissions, resulting in a lot of resentment among the people and difficulties in getting into treatment. Prior to this, the Jizhou Assassin Mansion took mutual reporting and exposure, but there will be a problem in this, that is, it will be used by the villagers as a means to suppress dissidents and hometown hatreds, which will greatly damage the majesty of the Daliang criminal law.
The arrival of Zu Qing has greatly improved this situation. He didn't even need to follow the map, just based on the memory in his mind, he could clearly explain the ministries and deeds of the captives in Hebei, and under the ironclad evidence, those people did not dare to complain about grievances in a foolish manner, which greatly improved the progress of Hebei's purge.
In terms of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Zu Qing, as a senior general of the original Forbidden Army of the Kuo State, had no lack of old knowledge in the army of Shi Zun, the puppet king of Zhao, and put forward many very constructive suggestions in recruiting and conquering the army.
A year after entering the army, Zu Qing recruited more than a dozen Han generals before and after as a military envoy. The righteousness of these more than a dozen people also explained many situations within the remnants of the Qiang Kingdom, so that the Heshuo Metropolitan Governor's Office could be more targeted in the process of conquest.
With the demise of the Cheng Han Dynasty and the end of the Shu War, the imperial court invested more energy in Daibei, and the role played by Zu Qing in it should not be underestimated.
The rebellion he organized even once penetrated to the left and right of Shi Zun, the puppet king of Zhao, and indirectly contributed to the rebellion of Shi Min and Shi Zun, among the remnants of the Qianghu, against each other. And the Heshuo Wang Division also took advantage of the internal strife among the thieves to inflict heavy losses on the army in Yanmen, and successfully killed the pseudo-Zhao King Shizun.
After that, the battle situation in the north suddenly became clear, and the governor of the capital, Xie Ai, sent Zu Qing as an envoy to contact Li Nong, the beggar army, and after several communications, Li Nong decided to lead his troops to righteousness, and presented the head of Shi Min, who had fled into his army. Since then, there has been no buffer between the royal division and the Tuoba Daiguo, the overlord of Saibei, and the troops have reached directly.
While fulfilling his ministry conscientiously, Zu Qing did not give up inquiring about his wife's news. Although the sage would not confide in him in his thoughts, Zu Qing also understood that the current situation in Hebei was not suitable for a big show to find his wife, because he only ordered his servants to keep visiting, and finally determined that most of the prisoners of war in Xindu were taken into military slaves and sent to Heshuo.
However, the Heshuo Metropolitan Governor's Office has jurisdiction over counties and prefectures, and the prisoners of war on all sides are requisitioned and used at will, and there is no complete register at all, so it is not easy to find a person in such a vast area and a vast sea of people!
In the ten years of the great cause, Liaodong was decided, and all parties gradually calmed down. In particular, the people in the middle school live and work in peace and contentment, and all industries are thriving. In such a situation, Hebei's relocation and governance also came to an end, and the crackdown on the bully townspeople officially stopped.
The sage of Luozhong personally issued the "Edict of Comforting the Township People of Zhuzhou in Hebei", visited Yexian Township, and commended him. This is to pave the way for the army of the Wang Division to go out of the north to attack Suolu, and the army will be in the north, and Hebei will become the most important logistics base, so it is inevitable that the people of Hebei will need to vigorously help the army, because the atmosphere of severe punishment in the past can no longer be sustained.
In this edict, it was officially announced that the investigation of the remnants of the old sins of the state of Karma had been completely stopped, and the state of Karma had been dead for more than ten years, and the crackdown and purge against the remnants of the kingdom had also lasted for ten years. There are now very few left, and there is no need to disrupt the rhythm of the militaristic policy of the king's expedition to the fortress in order to continue digging deep into these remnants.
Zu Qing has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and the reason why his way to find a wife is so difficult is that his wife is the daughter of Zhang Jackal, the great evil of the Qiang Kingdom. In the atmosphere that the imperial court is still strictly investigating the remnants of the kingdom, it is really not appropriate for him to look for his wife in a big way. But with this notice for an interview, he had no scruples to ask for his wife's traces.
However, at this time, the Dadu Governor's Mansion issued a military order, and he officially changed from the original Sixun to the leading Governor, and will lead an army alone at the beginning of the next autumn, as a forward to represent the country.
The military life is difficult to violate, the old love is difficult to give up, Zu Qing is in a dilemma, Luozhong Fei Cavalry Lieutenant Envoy arrived at the Heshuo camp, a letter from home attached to a phalange, the strong man pursues the merits, don't wait for leisure, the concubine is under Luo, and the railing is waiting!
In the eleventh year of the great cause, the army of 300,000 kings and divisions was gathered in Heshuo, and the warriors sent troops day by day, and the majestic fortress was taken out of the fortress, and the capital city of Shengle was conquered in more than a month. In the following years, Wang Shi frequently went out of Mobei, attacking vertically and horizontally, and the Xianbei Suotou was gone, and there was no trace of it.
In the fifteenth year of the great cause, the captivity was decided, and the emperor Shen Weizhou was in Luoyang Taiji Palace to congratulate the prosperous times.
PS: The country chapter is a little hasty, and there is very little content that really involves the country, so I will end it again, please forgive me for the shortcomings. Recently, a lot of energy has been involved in determining the idea of the new book and collecting information. The new book was originally set to be the Wu Zhou period of the early Tang Dynasty, that is, the period of Wu Zetian.
Speaking of which, I have to say that this loser can't say that she has been collecting and sorting out information about Tang Chang'an for a long time, and suddenly realized that Wu Zetian's main activity scene was in Luoyang, and she wanted to cry without tears. It can be seen that my historical knowledge is really scum, and I dare not use the evidence to self-standardize. However, it is better to be willing to be attentive, and the collation of relevant background information has been relatively sufficient, and it is still continuing, and strive not to make major background mistakes and omissions.
The new book will take some time to prepare, and the release should be scheduled around mid-to-late October. By the way, I also recommend a few books related to this period, if it is only out of interest and not an academic demand, in fact, it is not recommended that you read similar to the two Tang Dynasty books, Zizhi Tongjian, the obscurity brought by the historical books themselves is not conducive to a more detailed and perceptual understanding of this era.
Some of the books I refer to, such as "The Life History of the Five Dynasties of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "The Golden Peach of Samarkand", and "The Grassroots Civil Officials of the Tang Dynasty", are both academic and interesting, which can help everyone have a more comprehensive understanding of the politics and people's livelihood of the Tang Dynasty. Ancient books such as "The Reign and the Wild", "The Legacy of Kaiyuan Tianbao", "Feng's Observations", "Youyang Miscellaneous", etc., most of them are anecdotes about the history of the field, which are very interesting. "Tang Liudian", "General Dictionary", "Tang Huiyao" and so on can understand some issues of the institutional framework of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, to understand the Tang Dynasty, Tang poems must be mentioned, there are many life-oriented chapters in it, and copying is also an indispensable plot, and several such bridges have been designed. I still have to say a little interesting thing, saying that the people of the Tang Dynasty did not eat carp, which should be mainly in "Youyang Miscellaneous", in fact, the people of the Tang Dynasty ate carp, and they also ate very high, and they ate very high, and they wrote quite high, and there are many carp poems in Tang poetry, Wang Wei, Dufu, Bai Juyi, etc. If this law really exists and runs through the Tang Dynasty, it can only be said that Wen Qing loves to die.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't watch these lists, if you all do, how can I pretend to be a big-tailed wolf?
The article is short and long, and I look forward to starting a new story with you, thank you...
