Chapter Eleven Discussing the Law with Li Si and being imprisoned
Li Si has passed the domineering stage.
Seems very easy-going.
Ignoring Li Zhan and Li Xian who greeted them.
Li Si smiled faintly and said, "Does Mr. Cheng know the consequences of today's words?"
"The crime of lying will be punished by clan punishment!" Ying Cheng replied calmly: "Four of them, one of them, are poems and books, which are ancient and not modern crimes."
"Two, the crime of lying."
"Three, it is an inappropriate crime."
"Four. The crime of writing."
"Is the Lord Cheng aware of his crime?" Li Si asked with a faint smile: "He is good at discussing the laws of Qin, belittling the laws of Qin, and even talks about the destruction of the country."
"It is true that the young master is the emperor's eldest grandson, so he will definitely be punished, or the Fusu Mansion may be implicated."
"Cheng takes responsibility for his words and has no intention of regretting anything!" Ying Cheng said with a calm smile.
"I don't understand, but I want to clarify my doubts. Master, please teach me." Li Si shook his head. He seemed to be old, and even his movements of bowing were slow.
"Prime Minister, if you have a question, Cheng will definitely answer it." Ying Cheng replied calmly, not at all panicked by his own situation.
"Since the formulation of Da Qin's laws, although there are flaws, they have been repaired from time to time, and now include two hundred and forty-two crimes."
"It involves thirty-one categories, including Tian Law, Mangyuan Law, Cang Law, Jinbulu Law, Guanshi Law, Gong Law, and Military Jue Law."
"But if you have any doubts, the formula shall prevail. Inspection, inspection, witnesses, physical evidence, and oral testimony are all indispensable."
"Whenever you are confused, you can answer the questions according to the law to discern the truth."
"However, if there is any undecided decision, all cases shall prevail. When convicting and sentencing, the 'court act' shall prevail."
"Every aspect has been considered. How can these laws lead to the subjugation of the country? They should be passed down to our great Qin for all generations."
Li Si expressed his doubts.
Even now I still don’t believe that Ying Cheng could say such treasonous words.
"The Prime Minister is wrong!"
Ying Cheng shook his head calmly and smiled: "The five of them stole more than one coin in total. They will behead the left and stop them, and they will be tattooed as Cheng Dan."
"Theft in the Qin Dynasty is not punishable by death, but the punishment is more terrifying than the death penalty."
"One person steals, and if five people are involved in sharing the stolen goods, it means five people steal together."
"Anyone who steals more than one dollar is considered a thief. The lightest punishment for anyone who steals is to be beheaded. Once the amount exceeds 660 dollars, he will be sentenced to more than six years, have a tattoo on his forehead, and be sentenced to hard labor."
"Everyone is afraid of Qin's laws and dare not break them. If you make a slight mistake, you will be implicated."
"Since stealing a coin is death, stealing six hundred coins is death, and stealing a country is death, why not steal a country but a coin?"
"One person is like this, and the left and right echo. The same is true for a mile, and the whole township is echoing. The same is true for a township, and the whole county is echoing."
"If one county is like this, it will spread throughout the world with thunderous fire. This is the Qin method that forces people all over the world to rebel."
"It's better than nothing!"
Li Si shook his head and said with a smile: "It's ridiculous. If a person wants to steal, his relatives and friends should persuade him, and his left and right should stop him."
"Since the thief has already been committed, relatives and friends have failed to dissuade them, and left and right officials have failed to stop them. If you see a thief and fail to dissuade him, you are guilty."
"The Qin Dynasty used this method to avoid picking up lost things on the road and not closing the door at night!"
Ying Cheng also shook his head and said with a smile: "It's ridiculous. If one person commits a crime, relatives and friends will be implicated. There is no longer any trust between neighbors, relatives and friends, forming a relationship of mutual fear and mutual surveillance."
"Those who are serious about evil commit crimes and get away with it, while those who are kind are innocently implicated. If you do this, everyone will be evil and people will feel uneasy."
"It is the biggest fallacy in the world to let those who have not made mistakes bear the responsibility for those who have made mistakes."
"The law should advance with the times."
"In the past, the great Qin Dynasty was troubled by internal and external troubles. It was poor and difficult to survive. Everyone did not know the law. Only by judging serious crimes could the people be at peace."
"In the past, all the countries coexisted, and the Qin Dynasty lived in the Guanzhong area, and could still spread and govern it.
Nowadays, the great Qin Qi has swallowed up all the wastelands and four seas, ruling the world and covering thousands of miles. The Qin law in the past could control three thousand miles, but it cannot control the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers today."
"If we don't reshape Qin's laws, we, the Qin Dynasty, will surely be burdened by Qin's laws!"
This has become a battlefield for Qin and Lu.
Li Si, the representative of Qin Fa today.
Only with Li Si nodding could Qin Fa have the possibility to practice meditation.
And Ying Cheng was the overturner of Qin Fa.
Whether it was Fusu's proposal to revise the law or the advice of many leaders of the Confucian school, they were neither painful nor touching, and did not touch on a fundamental issue.
Qin law no longer adapts to the Qin Dynasty that unified the world.
From Ying Cheng's point of view, this requires a strong dose of medicine.
A powerful medicine to awaken the world and change the shortcomings of Qin's law.
As a person of later generations who is familiar with the history of Qin, he naturally knows it.
The Qin Dynasty became strong and prosperous because of the Qin Law, and the Qin Dynasty also declined because of the Qin Law.
He doesn't have much time.
If he had to take a long time to develop step by step and be good at tempting him, I am afraid that before he can grow up, the Qin Dynasty would have been destroyed.
The death of Qin II was only the trigger, it was the real problem faced by the Qin Dynasty.
It was not because Hu Hai and Zhao Gao disrupted the government after the death of the First Emperor that the Qin Dynasty was destroyed.
In the same way, even if Fusu is not dead, even if he succeeds to the throne, he may not be able to stop the general trend of people in the world against Qin.
"The law should lead people to do good, not force people to do evil!"
Ying Cheng stood tall and proud.
"Unrepentant!"
However, Li Si gradually showed his fierceness, and he had already convicted Ying Cheng from the bottom of his heart.
"Come here, where is the Tingwei? You can take Yingcheng to the Tingwei's prison and wait for your fate!"
Li Si, I no longer have the patience to listen.
Give the order directly.
"Dad, dad, no, Cheng'er is your grandson!"
"Please, let Cheng'er go. Cheng'er is only ten years old, and his words are unbridled!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xian stepped forward in panic, hugged Li Si's thigh and begged for mercy.
This time I was really panicked.
Even if you are smart, there is nothing you can do at this time.
I can only plead with Li Si.
"It's not that I'm in trouble for my father. This matter is no longer something I can decide. I can only report it to His Majesty for his decision!"
Li Si seemed to have unleashed his endless kindness at this moment, helping Li Xian up and recognizing this eldest daughter.
"Li Zhan, send your sister to the inner house to rest!"
In the midst of these words.
There was a sound of tapping.
Li Si has secretly ordered people to summon the officials of the court to come and imprison Ying Cheng to await his disposal.
With Ying Cheng's status, even he could not directly imprison and convict him.
But Ying Cheng's remarks already involve treason, and if you are not careful, it will be a serious crime of treason.
He can be temporarily detained, and His Majesty the First Emperor can make a decision before he is released.
"Cheng'er, Cheng'er!"
Li Xian woke up with a start and ran towards Ying Cheng again in a hurry.
"Quickly admit your mistake to your grandpa. You just made a mistake and it was never your intention!"
Li Xian knew that Ying Cheng had made a big mistake and that his wisdom was almost at a negative level and he could no longer think normally.
I was really panicked.
"Mom, don't worry, this is just the beginning. It's too early to say who will win!"
Ying Cheng smiled and wiped Li Xian's tears.
There is nothing his mother can say about her love for him. He believes that Li Xian can understand his intentions as long as things are a little clearer.
A weak country has no diplomatic relations.
This can also be used in communication between courtiers.
nowadays.
The strength between Fusu Mansion and Li Mansion has been seriously out of balance.
The Li Mansion is strong and the Fusu Mansion is weak.
In this case, even kneeling for ten days and ten nights expressed a strong desire to reconcile with Li Si.
People will only think that you are at the end of your rope!
