Zheng San's proposal to allow people who violate the law and order to use money to atone for their crimes has caused extensive discussion among officials in the court, after all, these officials have children and nephews in their families, and who would not make a mistake? If you can use money to make their children and nephews suffer less, why not?

Pei Ji, the admonisher, objected again: "No, if someone fights and fights, and one party seriously injures the other party, if the beating party has money in the family or the family of the eunuch, and the beaten person is poor, then isn't it that the beater can swagger out of the cell as long as he pays some money?" In this case, where is the reason of heaven? ”

Zheng San said: "Otherwise, since it is a fight, before spending money to atone for the crime, it must be under the auspices of the patrol and arrest bureau, and the beater must ask a doctor to treat the injured person, and also compensate, the compensation must satisfy the injured person, and the two sides reach an understanding, so that they can spend money to atone for the crime, which is not only applicable to fights and brawls, but also applies to other civil disputes!" Moreover, serious injuries caused by fights and brawls are no longer public order incidents, they are already criminal offenses, and this cannot be classified within the scope of spending money to atone for crimes! ”

Zhao Ziliang knows that even in the modern society more than a thousand years later, the law is not absolutely fair, the law is dead, but the law enforcer is alive, and the right to interpret the law is also in the hands of the law enforcement judge, not to mention that the lawyer is a person who can say that the crooked is straight, not to mention that this is the Tang Dynasty, and it is very rare to maintain relative fairness. You can't ask for more at all, and blindly subverting all the cognitions of this era is going to be a big problem.

Zhao Ziliang asked, "What do you think of Lord Zheng's proposal?" ”

"The minister thinks it is feasible and seconds it!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

"Seconded!"

For a while, the ministers stood up to express their support for this proposal, Zhao Ziliang saw this, and said to Xiao Fu, the secretary of Dali Temple: "Lord Xiao, about this proposal, your Dali Temple will organize officials to discuss, see what else needs to be added, as soon as possible, sort out a piece of paper for Lone to see, Lone has seen it and thinks it is feasible to approve it, and then it will be promulgated and implemented by Dali Temple!" ”

Xiao Fu agreed: "Yes, king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and asked, "Liu Congyi, how many prisoners are there in the Heavenly Prison and prisons across the country now?" ”

Liu Congyi recalled, stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the total number of prisoners in the country is about 90,000!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "How many strong men are under the age of forty?" ”

"Great King, among the prisoners, there are only a few women, male prisoners account for ninety percent, and strong men under the age of forty account for more than eighty percent, and the number is about sixty-five thousand!"

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "How many prisoners are on death row and those who have been imprisoned for more than ten years?" ”

"As of last month's count, the number of death row prisoners is 1,129, and about 16,000 strong prisoners who have been imprisoned for more than 10 years! About 22,000 people were sentenced to less than 10 years and more than five years; More than 13,000 people are waiting to be exiled and confiscated······"

Zhao Zi calculated in his conscience and said: "In this way, there are about 52,000 people on death row, more than five years in prison, plus exile and conscription, which is very good!" A special will was made to include these 52,000 people, and then to find more than 3,000 people from among the prisoners, making up 56,000 people. Escorting these people from prisons to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in Anxi, their main tasks are twofold, the first is to open up wasteland at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains to cultivate land and store grain, and the second is to conduct military drills! The escort task is carried out by the local local army, and the escort destination is handed over to the Anxi army, and the escort soldiers can return, and the expenses along the way are borne by the local government! ”

"The task of these people to open up wasteland, cultivate land and store grain is arranged by the Anxi army, as for the military drills for them······ Hunjing? , Gao Chongwen, where is Fan Xichao? ”

The three of them were all generals of the forbidden army, and their grades were almost the same, and when they heard Zhao Ziliang call their names, they immediately stood up and hugged their fists and said, "The minister is here!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "I don't know how many of these more than 56,000 people will be able to reach Anxi, but it shouldn't lose too much, no matter how many people arrive in Anxi, divide these people into three parts, and the three of you, as the main training officers, are each responsible for training one of the parts!" ”

"Yes!" The three of them wondered in their hearts, how could they train so many people by themselves, but the three of them were very wise not to ask, presumably the regent should have his own arrangements.

Sure enough, Zhao Ziliang shouted again: "Li Yu, the secretary of the military department!" ”

"The minister is here!" Li Mi stood up, he was both the prime minister and the secretary of the military department.

Zhao Ziliang said: "The military department is mobilized, and three thousand generals, captains, captains, battalion leaders and military leaders of various ranks are transferred from the forbidden army, garrison army and local army to the three of them, and the beauties are divided into 1,000 people, and these people must train those prisoners under their command, so these people must be loyal, fierce, and murderous deterrent, otherwise they cannot deter those murderous prisoners!" ”

Li Mi stood up and agreed: "Obey!" ”

All the ministers wondered, what was the regent going to do? Datang already has 500,000 troops, over the years, 500,000 troops have guarded all parts of Datang, and also expeditions to Silla and Balhae, and there is no shortage of troops. Or prepare food and grass for the army? No, it doesn't make sense!

No one could guess Zhao Ziliang's thoughts, but after the dispersal of the dynasty, this matter spread.

The parents of some of the gentlemen who were imprisoned for committing crimes in Chang'an City began to be anxious when they heard the news, their children and nephews had only committed a trivial matter, and they would be released after being locked in the cell for half a month or a month, if they were escorted to Anxi Tuntian and exercises, God knows what would happen? You must know that the northwest is a hard-cold land, and it will take two months on the way, and it is about to reach the cold winter wax moon, the weather is still extremely cold, and the road is the next desert and the wind and rain and heavy snow are frozen, isn't this a human life?

So many parents have hurried to act, all cheeky to go through the back door, take the money to protect their children and nephews, but the matter of taking money to atone for their sins has just been brought to the court to discuss, although the regent has agreed, and ordered Dali Temple to make a specific and detailed statute out, but this specific charter has not yet come out, Dali Temple has not yet been promulgated and implemented, how dare the chief officials and officials make decisions without authorization to let the families of those prisoners spend money to atone for their crimes? You must know that the wind of rectification has been blowing, it has been more than half a year, and it has not stopped, at this time, the offender is hitting the head of the gun, purely looking for death, no chief official will be so stupid, one after another refused the requests of the prisoners' families, among which there are many senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee, no matter how high the rank of the officials who came, no one dared to commit crimes against the wind, and the families of the prisoners could only be anxious even if they were rich and powerful.

Li Mi Fu.

Li Mi's main room, Lu Shi, was walking anxiously back and forth in the hall with his hands twisted together, and the maidservant next to him persuaded: "Madame, don't be anxious, your lord will be back soon!" ”

Lu Shi stopped and sat on the chair worriedly: "Can I not be in a hurry? It's all burning eyebrows, and the master hasn't come back, is his son's life important or is he on duty? ”

The maidservant hurriedly said: "Madame, you can't say that, the lord is the prime minister of the court, and he is the example of a hundred officials, and now the officialdom is rectifying, and if you are not careful, you will be caught, how can the lord take the lead in leaving early?" I heard that the secret agents of the Imperial Historical Observatory are now pervasive, and if they catch the handle, it will be troublesome for the master to be involved! ”

The Lu family was said by the maidservant, and immediately kept silent, although she is a woman, but she is also a talented woman from a scholarly family, and everyone is beautiful, not a village woman who has not seen the world, of course, she knows that the honor and disgrace of the whole family are all borne on her own master, if the master is impeached, then the Li family will collapse! However, although Lu Shi didn't talk anymore, the anxious look on her face was not soothed at all.

Waiting left and right, Li Mi finally came home from work in Shangshu Province, and heard a family member in the front yard shouting: "Master go home!" ”

Lu Shi immediately got up and walked quickly to the front hall with small steps, "Master, you're back." The slave family heard that the regent had decreed that all the strong prisoners in all the prisons in the world should be escorted to Anxi Tuntian to join the army, is there such a thing? ”

Li Mi glanced at Lu's family, took the tea handed over by the maidservant, sat down and said, "This was all a few days ago, what do you want to say?" ”

Lu Shi almost jumped to his feet, "Oh, master, you are confused, Xuan'er is still locked up in the prison cell of Jingzhao Mansion, if he is escorted to Anxi Tuntian to join the army, what can he do!" ”

Li Yu is Li Mi's second son, usually good at martial arts, like to dance guns and sticks, but Li Mi is also a literati, his three brothers are all scholars, but he is different, this guy is good at martial arts, but his martial arts talent is really not very good, not only short-tempered, but also likes to make trouble, often gather a group of people in the market to fight and make trouble, has been caught by the Patrol Bureau many times, a lot of cases, because he is Li Mi, he committed a lot of things, the previous patrol bureau patrols to see Li Mi's face is caught and released, As long as they don't beat people to serious injuries or kill people, they will mediate in the middle, let Li Jian lose money, and the bitter master will not be held accountable if he takes the money, but since the officialdom rectification began, the officials and patrol arresters of the patrol bureau do not dare to show favoritism, no matter how big the background and how hard the background of the offender is, they will all act according to the law and routine, so Li Yong, who participated in the fight and brawl last month, was once again invited to the patrol bureau for tea, which is good, in view of his case record too much, the officers of the patrol bureau and the patrol arrest who handled the case can only be dealt with in accordance with the law and regulations, He was imprisoned for three months, almost two months after now.

Li Mi said: "What are you anxious about! ”

"Can I not be in a hurry? If he is escorted to Anxi Tuntian to join the army, if something happens, how can you tell me to live" Lu Shi suddenly cried.
