Chapter 739 The troubled times are coming, and the prison is pre-amnesty
In troubled times, Liu Xing has always been using the scepter of the law strictly and heavily, and whether it is wise or not, the military and civilians of the entire Northern Dynasty seem to have begun to adapt and become a habit.
Because Liu Xing is not tyrannical, not all crimes will be punished.
For example, many criminal laws that used to be used to stab and recruit the army at every turn are now completely absent from the new laws of the Northern Dynasties.
The few punishments that have been preserved in the new law are the only punishments that can be used against the most heinous crimes, and only the four types of Ling Chi, car splitting, poisoning, and live burial that can be used only require the approval of the Three Law Divisions and even the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion.
Compared with the torture of various dynasties and generations in the past, which was full of tricks and cruelty, although Liu Xing ruled the world with heavy punishment, in fact, it could no longer have anything to do with tyranny.
However, the punishment set by Liu Xing's new law is only for those who commit death to dare to violate it.
Because no one in the Northern Dynasties knew that there was a place called the "indoctrination camp", and no one knew that even if the people who entered the indoctrination camp were released in the future, they would return to their hometowns without being crippled, and they would be looked down upon everywhere, and for several generations they could only rely on the security money given by the yamen to live, and they could not even find a serious job.
Fortunately, in this era, there is no such thing as "human rights", let alone a country that acts as the world's gendarme, will come to grossly interfere in the internal affairs of the Great Song Dynasty.
However, Liu Xing knew very well in his heart that this method of detaining people without formal trial could only be used temporarily, and must be abolished in the future.
Otherwise, no one would dare to guarantee that those who will hold the power of the court in the future will not turn this method into a means of persecuting dissidents, attacking political opponents, and vying for power.
So after a smirk. Liu Xing immediately turned his head and issued the fourth decree to Lei Zhen, who had gone and returned three times: ordered the Criminal Department to deploy in conjunction with the Military Intelligence Department, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Officials. Law-based approval of all detainees in the camps immediately began. The sentence of the sentence. The release of the release.
From the date of the issuance of this order, no locality, yamen, or department in the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty could arbitrarily arrest or detain criminals who had not been tried for more than the time limit set by the law, for any reason or excuse. Within a year, the indoctrination camps were gradually banned and disbanded.
Officers and soldiers at all levels who originally served in the indoctrination battalion were selected by the front division of the palace in conjunction with the patrol departments of various provinces and state capitals.
Those who pass the selection may be transferred to the forbidden army, border army, and patrol battalion, and shall be used as appropriate in accordance with their original rank and rank. Those who are not qualified shall be paid severance pay and returned to their hometowns in accordance with the treatment of the patrol battalion.
Officers and soldiers at all levels of the demobilized indoctrination battalion. After returning to their hometowns, if they are recruited by the yamen and the bureaucracy, they can be hired on the basis of merit. Personnel who have been hired by the yamen at all levels may be re-awarded their rank by three ranks.
There were many people in the camp who had been opposing the current new laws of the Northern Dynasty, and even many lackeys of His Royal Highness King Kang of the Southern Dynasty.
For those who were clearly defined by Liu Xing as people with different political views, the first prison camp was set up in each province after being convicted in accordance with the law, and they were designated as special prison cities to be used to detain criminals of that kind of political opponent.
Since it was decided to set up the first prison camp in each province, there would naturally be more second and third prison camps, and Liu Xing also made clear new rules on this point.
Depending on the number of capitals in each province, there is a maximum of one prison camp in one state capital.
Mine, forestry, and workshop-type prisons will be used as the main prison for felons and felons serving sentences of more than 10 years, and all of them will be numbered in an odd number.
Prisons for light work such as agriculture, animal husbandry, and fishing. Short-term minor offenders who are used for less than 10 years are all numbered with an even number.
within a state capital. Without the approval of the Three Divisions and the Heavenly Council, it is strictly forbidden to have both even and odd prison camps at the same time.
Even-numbered prison battalions are set to have two levels of police fortification, three or four, and the number of troops and inmates they are routinely equipped with must not exceed one-fifth of their number of inmates unless they are specially approved.
Even if a certain prison camp holds 3,000 convicts, its fortification level is fourth, its strength does not exceed 500 people, and the number of prisoners cannot exceed 100.
If they hold more than 3,000 prisoners, their fortification level will naturally be raised to the third level, and the number of troops shall not exceed one-sixth of the number of prisoners they hold and no more than one-eighth of the number of prisoners assigned to them.
Compared with even-numbered prisons, the fortification level of the odd-numbered prison camp is in the first and second grades.
In principle, no more than 3,000 inmates are allowed in a single prison, but the number of inmates in a single prison can reach 750, and the number of inmates attached to it can reach 150. Level 2 is relatively weakened, with a quarter of the number of detainees being the upper limit of its personnel and strength......
"Brother Liu, do you want to cut and merge the prison camp? Are you ready to give amnesty to the world? After listening to Liu Xing's decree, Zhao Jinzhu stared at Liu Xing with a suspicious face and asked after Lei Zhen turned around and ran out.
Turning his head and smiling at her, Liu Xing said: "The troubled times are about to pass, and Chongdian should also be properly relaxed." His Majesty has ascended the throne in a hurry, and there is still no official era name. Therefore, I think that after I return to Bianjing this time, I will officially hold an enthronement ceremony for the current officials, and at the same time let the ministers in the court and the central government who have a belly full of sages and sages come up with a new year name for the officials. ”
At this point, he paused slightly, put on a strange smile again, and Liu Xing continued: "Since I advertise the rule of law, I naturally want to lead by example, and even more importantly, recommend the standardization and rigor of the law. Therefore, I still have to restore and use this rule that every time a new king ascends the throne, he will be amnesty. ”
"Don't you have the right to be a **** prime minister yourself, why do you have to cut down the prison camp to show the kindness of this amnesty?" The more Zhao Jinzhu listened, the more he didn't understand, and asked again.
Hearing him ask, Liu Xing's evil smile became a little sinister: "My prime minister's **** is only for non-political enemies, and more for those chivalrous warriors." Princess, don't you want Wu Jue to defeat Lin'an in the future, and your ninth brother will also be tried by the Three Law Divisions and thrown into the first prison of a certain province to be imprisoned for life, right? You don't want your father to show up, and you will immediately face the crime of losing his power, humiliating the country, and losing the country in a mediocrity by the three law divisions, right? ”
"You, you mean, this amnesty is that you are going to let my father and the ninth brother be pardoned from death? So, what about my royal brother? Wilt thou not forgive him? When Zhao Jinzhu heard this again, he became even more shocked.
Hearing her words, Liu Xing and Hui looked at each other and smiled. The two of them laughed secretly in their hearts at the same time: Poor little princess, does your imperial brother still need to be pardoned? He may already be complaining about his grievances with one of the ten kings of Hades...... (To be continued.) )
