"Only. The "Military Jue Law" says that if one wishes to return to the second level of nobility so that his biological parents will not become a concubine, and if the subject is beheaded to become a public servant, and to return to the public service without having his old wife become a concubine, it is allowed and exempted.
I thought I was a commoner."
"It's just that Heng does not belong to Zhao Tuo's relatives and does not conform to the law. Whether to agree or not depends on the king's decision." Li Si responded.
Although the Qin State governed the country by law, this law only governed the common people and officials, but the king was not restrained. This is what is often said, "the king is governed by the law."
Regardless of what Qin's laws say or what Qin's laws say, just one sentence from the King of Qin is more effective than all laws.
But although the king has this privilege, he cannot use it indiscriminately, especially in some major matters. The consequences of breaking the law at will are very serious.
However, Zhao Tuo's request to use the title as an atonement is obviously not included in this.
King Qin thought for a moment and said, "Yes."
Li Si responded, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, does he still want to join the army to defeat Yan?"
King Qin frowned and whispered: "He really wants to go to the battlefield?"
Li Si smiled bitterly and said: "I know that the king cherishes talents and wants to keep him in Xianyang to cultivate one or two. But I think this son has made up his mind. He also said, 'The prime minister must start from the state, and the fierce generals must be sent to the soldiers.
Wu', he wants to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield and contribute to the unification of the king."
King Qin suddenly asked: "Is he only fifteen?"
Li Si nodded and said: "Wei. Five years ago, the king ordered men to start serving in the military at the age of seventeen. Strictly speaking, Zhao Tuo is under the age. But he is already seven feet tall, which meets the previous conscription standards. If
With the permission of the king, he can also recruit them."
King Qin sneered: "Since he wants to go, let him go."
"only."
Li Si was ordered to retreat. Before leaving, he saw King Qin's cold face and knew that the king was displeased.
He shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know what Zhao Tuo was thinking. He insisted on running to the battlefield to fight for his life without waiting for Xianyang.
Shortly after Li Si retreated, a lively girl ran into the palace.
"Father!"
Before he even got close, she screamed happily.
Her small body rushed forward, like a swallow returning to its nest, and hugged King Qin's neck happily. The girl said coquettishly: "Father, I'm back!"
King Qin's face, which had always been tense, rarely showed a smile.
He looked at the girl lovingly: "It's good to come back. How was your trip to Shanglin?"
The girl pouted and said, "It's nothing interesting. It's the coldest month of winter, and you can't even see many birds. And not long after I arrived, I heard about the assassination of Yan Envoy, so I hurried back. Father, are you okay?"
King Qin smiled and said: "The situation is under my control, so what can happen?"
"It's good that your father is fine. I heard from my brother about the deputy envoy of Yan State. I heard that my father admires this person very much, right?" The girl stared with big eyes, full of curiosity.
…
Zhao Tuo and Heng were walking on the country road.
"Tuo, are you really going to join the army and help the Qin people attack Yan?" Heng asked still in disbelief.
Zhao Tuo said casually: "Qin will definitely destroy Yan in this battle. I also want to gain some military exploits."
Hearing this, tears burst into his eyes. He knelt on the ground and bowed his head to Zhao Tuo.
"Although I'm not from Qin, I also know how valuable a title is. In a battle on the battlefield, you need to kill an armored man and take their head in exchange for a first-level title. Now you are willing to give up two levels of title to atone for the sins of a villain like me.
.There is nothing I can do to repay you for this kind of kindness.”
Zhao Tuo smiled, stretched out his hand to pull him away, and said: "Although the title is good, no one is important. If it weren't for your help this time, setting fire at night gave me the opportunity to accuse the adulterer, how could I have done it?"
Look at the sun today. My title is half of yours, so what’s wrong with trying to atone for your sins?"
This was Zhao Tuo's true words. He could not escape from the vortex of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin this time without Heng's help.
Before the assassination, Jing Ke kept a close eye on Zhao Tuo. Even if he left, he would let the rangers guard the door and not give Zhao Tuo any chance to escape.
That's why Zhao Tuo sought Heng's help, asking Heng to set fire to the house while Zhao Tuo and Jing Ke were practicing, so as to create opportunities for Zhao Tuo in the chaos.
For this reason, Heng also helped Zhao Tuo kill Qi Yang, and his hands were stained with blood.
However, Heng helped Zhao Tuo do all this without asking why.
Just because Zhao Tuo asked Heng to set the fire, he set the fire, and asked Heng to help kill, so he helped kill Qi Yang.
This kind of trust moved Zhao Tuo very much.
It can be said that without Heng's help, Zhao Tuo's plan would never have succeeded.
So when he was reporting rape that night, Zhao Tuo specifically mentioned Heng's name in the hope of helping him avoid the responsibility of being punished.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo felt itchy with hatred.
Qin's laws were too harsh, and Shang Jun's techniques were extremely perverted.
"There is no better way to prohibit rape than to punish someone who has committed a crime."
"The so-called good governance means that punishment is bad but does not reward good, so the people will be good without punishment. If the people are good without punishment, the punishment will be severe. If the punishment is severe, the people will not dare to commit the crime, so there will be no punishment. And the people will not dare to do wrong.
, this means that all countries are good."
What's the meaning?
Legalists believe that if you want to prohibit evil and prevent crime, there is no other way than using severe punishment.
Those who abide by the law do not need praise, but as long as they commit crimes, they will be severely punished, even to death.
Qin Law.
If someone steals someone else's mulberry leaves, which are worth less than a penny, he will be punished with thirty days of hard labor.
Stealing more than one coin but less than two hundred and twenty coins will result in exile.
Those who steal between 220 and 660 qian will be punished by being tattooed.
He stole more than 660 yuan, had his nose cut off after getting tattoos, and finally became a Cheng Dan.
And if the gang commits a crime with more than five people, it will be even worse. Even if they only steal one piece of money, their left foot will be cut off and they will be tattooed and punished as Cheng Dan.
This is just theft, other penalties will only be more severe, and they are often linked to each other. If one person commits a crime, even others will be punished.
What about being cut in half, abandoning the market, breaking up the car, the Yi tribe...
In short, as long as you commit a crime, you will be severely punished, and you will regret it for eternity if you make a mistake.
Its core purpose is to end punishment with punishment.
Therefore, as long as Heng is in the same convoy with Jing Ke, he is guilty. As long as he did not report the rape with Zhao Tuo in the first place, it will be in vain and he will be punished.
Because he set fire to help Zhao Tuo accuse him of adultery, Qin Ting exempted him from the death penalty, but still punished him as a subordinate.
The so-called subordinates are the slaves of this era.
The male is a minister and the female is a concubine. Lichen and Lichen are often called Lichen and concubines.
Their jobs are many, including but not limited to: plowing land, reclaiming wasteland, grazing, building cities, building roads, guarding fields, transportation, etc.
And once you become a subordinate, you will be a subordinate for life, and your descendants will have this status for generations to come, unless you can perform meritorious services or someone is willing to redeem your title.
Zhao Tuo knew that after King Qin unified the country, he would start a large number of projects.
The Palaces of the Six Kingdoms, the Lishan Mausoleum, the Great Wall, the Chi Road...
There are countless officials buried here.
If Zhao Tuo doesn't atone for Heng's sins, given his body and bones, he may die in less than two years.
If the title is gone, you can still earn it, but if the person is gone, it is really gone.
Therefore, Zhao Tuo would rather help Heng redeem himself with two levels of title.
Lying on the ground with tears in his eyes, he said firmly:
"Heng, I am willing to die for Zhao Jun."
"Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Slips·Legal Questions and Answers":
"It is a crime to commit the crime of driving while others are stealing." What can be called "the crime of driving"?
Five people robbed, Zang (hidden) more than one coin, beheaded the left one, and those who had tattoos were regarded as Cheng Dan; but there were five people who had stolen more than 660 coins, and those who had tattoos were considered Cheng Dan; but there was no surplus of 660 coins.
If you get two hundred and twenty coins, you will be tattooed as Cheng Dan; if you don't get more than two hundred and twenty coins, if you get one coin, you can move it. I'm looking for a robber like this.
