Chapter 5239 All living beings are equal, everyone is a dragon
Liu Jingxuan laughed: "I understand what you mean, sending slaves, that is to say, the military merit system will continue to remain unchanged, and this political hall is just the highest supervisory agency, used to supervise the performance of all civil servants and generals, right?
.”
Liu Yu said seriously: "Yes, what is monitored is not only the illegal actions of officials or generals, but also their political achievements and military exploits. If it is done by less than legitimate means, such as harshly criticizing the people or forcing the soldiers to sacrifice.
, the merit obtained in this way is also recognized. This is the regulation of military merit. However, as the political hall, it will be dealt with in addition to the merit, such as dismissal from office or criminal punishment according to national law. This is the punishment for their illegal use of power. The so-called
This is where merit is clearly defined.”
Having said this, Liu Yu paused and continued: "Just like when we were soldiers, we held weapons and killed thieves on the battlefield. This is our credit and is worthy of reward with military honors and titles, but if we are fighting
To kill those prisoners who have laid down their weapons, or to plunder the spoils of war on the battlefield, or to kill innocent people after breaking the city, is a sin, and is not allowed by law. This requires people from the political hall
, propose impeachment, and deal with these soldiers in addition to military merit."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "This means that like the last battle of Guanggu, it is no longer allowed to kill thousands of Murong clan members and tribal chiefs after breaking the city?"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Strictly speaking, Murong Chao and Heipao resisted and defended the city for a year, which not only caused heavy casualties to our army, but also caused heavy casualties to the Xianbei and Han soldiers and civilians who defended the city. This is
Those who have committed serious crimes will not be pardoned. If Murong Lan had not fought to the death to remonstrate with him, and finally used his life to severely injure Murong Chui and end the war, all the soldiers and civilians in this city, from the emperor to the common people, would have been killed."
"What's more, Murong Chui controlled Murong Chao's body and wanted to kill me during the final surrender ceremony. Murong Lan protected me with his body. According to national law, this kind of behavior is enough to massacre the city and destroy the country, but she was dying
The previous request asked me to let the people go, so I only killed more than 3,000 people from the Murong clan. This did not violate the national law. If it is true, it was just this kind of killing and should be taken back.
Jiankang, let's make it clear that canonical punishment is the way to go. Killing on the spot is against the law. If you say this, I should be demoted one level."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "However, if we really want to take these more than 3,000 people back to Jiankang and kill them, I'm afraid they will cause trouble on the way. What's more, if the monsters and thieves make trouble and attack Jiankang, it is better to kill them in Guanggu.
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, however, the kind of behavior of killing good people and taking credit for merit in war is not uncommon now. My subordinates sometimes do this. If there is a political hall in the future, people will be sent to monitor this kind of thing in the army.
Bar."
Liu Yu said sternly: "Yes, the candidates for the political hall must be people with high moral integrity and public mindedness. However, the collection of information and intelligence must rely on the eyes and ears of Fatty, Miaoyin, and Xianzhi from the beginning.
Apart from you, these people are also the first batch of members I want to join the Political Hall. Do you have any thoughts on this?"
Liu Jingxuan laughed: "These are your right-hand assistants and important ministers of the country who have assisted you along the way, and they should have exchanged these public thoughts with you."
Liu Yu nodded: "I have talked a lot with Fatty and Miaoyin, but I haven't talked too deeply with Xianzhi, but I think he will accept and understand this. After Meng Chang died, Xianzhi took over now."
His position was to provide me with information and take charge of government affairs in Jiankang, and he did a good job while the fat man was away in Jingzhou."
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "Of course there is no doubt about their ability. In terms of qualifications, they have been with you for decades. They are also important ministers and high-ranking officials. However, these people are also representatives of high-ranking families.
, if you really want them to give up their family, give up their power, and completely implement your public world, you must first make them betray their own family. They are not like me. To put it bluntly, they are just the leaders of the Huaibei cottage.
, they can break up at any time, but which one of them is not a noble family that has been in the family for hundreds of years? Especially Queen Wang, who has the entire Wang family and Xie family behind her, don’t they want to join you in this world for the common good? "
The corner of Liu Yu's mouth curled up: "I have talked with them many times about this matter. I can feel that Miaoyin is actually the most staunch supporter of me. She did not hesitate to cut off her hair and escape into Buddhism for me. It was also for
Protecting the Xie family, many things I have done over the years would not have been possible without her support and the support of Mrs. Xie. She and Mrs. Xie have acted as a bridge between us and the big families
Therefore, I firmly believe that Saraswati and I are on the same journey."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "Yes, she did a lot for you, but in turn, you also heard from her a lot of the thoughts of the noble family, or the price they asked for, and also made a lot of compromises and concessions, and then there are
Fatty, he has actually done a lot of things behind your back in the past few years. For example, when he was in Qingzhou, I didn’t dare to make the decision on such major events as the killing of Han Fan and the Feng Yi incident. I wanted to ask for your instructions, but he
But he just killed when he said it. Although he said that he had taken responsibility and notoriety, I heard that he had some similar things in Wu Di. He gave shelter to the illegal behavior of high-ranking family members, but did not strictly enforce your laws.
The laws and regulations, including this time in Jingzhou, directly pardoned Tao Yuanming, and gave Yu Yue's senior official Jianwei General Shi, making him actually responsible for the affairs of Jiangzhou. Although these are all for your own good and out of public conscience
, but he has made these compromises and concessions to the nobles and the aristocratic families, will he really implement your idea of the world for the common good in the future?"
Liu Yu looked serious, nodded and said seriously: "Ah Shou, what you said makes sense. Fatty is indeed because of his origin and his status as a nobleman. I feel that deep down in his heart, he does not really agree with my ideas. He
What is emphasized is that the world needs order and hierarchy. It is reasonable and appropriate for the gentry, as superiors, to manage the people of the world. In fact, I also admit this, but I think the advantage of the gentry lies in the education they have received.
On the one hand, I educate my children and nephews, but on the other hand, I prevent ordinary people from receiving education. This way, I will always have cultural advantages in order to dominate others. This is something I cannot allow and accept. Everyone is equal and the world is for the common good. This is my bottom line.
