Chapter 70 This Heart Will Move the Sun and the Moon, Shake the Heaven and Earth!
Dalu Mansion.
The Three Lords and Nine Ministers are in place.
Ying Cheng also started with no unnecessary nonsense.
"Everything you said yesterday is here!"
"The judgment made by Tingwei is the most legal one. The judgment made by Changfu is slightly lighter than the judgment made by Tingwei. The judgment made by Shaofu is based on the existing Qin law."
"What was decided by the Grand Historian's Order is not much different from that of Fengchang Mansion, and what is decided by Sizhi is not much different from that of Tingwei."
"As for Taiwei's Mansion, how should I put it, it is even more serious than the sentence given by Tingwei, but Chun Yuyue and his two people are too focused on benevolence and forget that evil deeds must be forcibly corrected by external forces."
No one among the people below spoke.
It's not that he is absent-minded, but he is waiting for Ying Cheng's conclusion.
This kind of thing where everyone picks up the good and the bad is what they often do.
This is purely an opening statement, just listen to it.
but.
But everyone straightened up and stared at Ying Cheng extremely seriously.
Because once you start talking like this, it means you have a definite idea.
At least I have a clear conclusion in my own thoughts.
Ying Cheng smiled and did not point out the specific errors in the judgments issued by each government one by one.
Because these judgments are based on different standpoints, the judgments are not wrong.
It's just an individual's different judgment on a thing, which cannot be imposed.
And he also needs to express his own opinion.
Moreover, what he said next may not be correct.
"The first one, I think, is that ethics is a light sentence and cannot be punished harshly, but it has to be sentenced to five years in prison to make him realize his mistakes through ethics and education!"
"The reason is that B did not abandon or fulfill his responsibilities as a son, and A no longer wanted to live, so he ordered B, and B obeyed. The reason for the light sentence is that the father is kind and the son is filial, and the reason for the sentence is that he did commit murder of A.
.”
"The basis of ethics is to prevent B from having other thoughts and causing other harm, and to correct his thoughts."
"The basis of the five-year prison sentence is punishment for his criminal behavior."
After Ying Cheng finished speaking, he paused for a moment.
It gave everyone time to think, but not time to refute.
Li Zhan looked haggard, but he was full of energy and was about to retort.
Ying Cheng raised his hand to suppress everyone who wanted to speak, and continued:
"Secondly, I believe that Person A should be arrested, and special cases with obvious directions but no actual evidence should be dealt with. First, he should be convicted, and then the evidence can be found!"
"Reason, justice will only be late and never absent, but we have to admit that delayed justice is not justice!"
"The law is dogmatic, including investigation, inspection, interrogation, and tangible evidence. This is a long and uncertain process. The suspect is not guilty, but X is allowed to continue to do evil and wait for evidence, causing more losses.
"
"For this type of case, a special case group should be reported to be set up to conduct supervision. Ting Wei and the third trial department will make a decision. The special case decision will be immediately disbanded. In compliance with public opinion, a solid case will be made and no correction will be made."
Ying Cheng understood that there would definitely be problems if he dealt with it this way.
But he adheres to a saying that delayed justice is never justice, so he thinks it is normal to be biased in legislation.
If there is a problem, leave it to future generations to solve.
In fact, if we want to solve this kind of problem as another way, we can set up an investigation team to investigate the relationship involved. We can always find something, but for Da Qin now, it is not necessary.
"Third, I think that both B and D are guilty, C is a serious crime and D is a misdemeanor!"
"The reason is that Ding did not know about it, did not understand right and wrong, hindered the pursuit of fugitives and negligently caused serious injuries to his armor, but because he acted bravely in the name of justice, he was given a light sentence."
"C helped the fugitive escape, maliciously deceived others into being kind and caused others to be injured or killed. He shall be severely sentenced."
"The fourth one is not guilty."
"The reason is that the male A committed the crime first, and the female A or her relatives and friends resisted later. The consequences will be borne by the male A."
"The fifth one will not be convicted."
"reason……"
Ying Cheng explains it one by one.
The 108 cases are definitely existing and controversial cases, covering all aspects.
That is, once the verdict is drawn here.
Then when encountering such cases, it will become an example and the basis for sentencing.
So this is something that has to be done with caution.
This is a theory, not a formula.
He just expressed his opinion.
Ying Cheng was chattering at the top.
below.
Not only were everyone not drowsy.
On the contrary, there was no pause until Ying Cheng finished speaking.
Then some people meditate and write.
Even when Ying Cheng mentioned a certain place, he couldn't help but nod, and when he reached a certain place again, he shook his head unconsciously.
but.
Regardless of whether you agree or disagree.
In the entire hall, no one raised any opinions during Ying Cheng's interpretation.
Maybe no one noticed it.
During the process of legislation, Ying Cheng's status was gradually improved in their minds unconsciously.
This is also another recognition of strength.
“It’s a mixed bag of good and bad!”
Looking at Ying Cheng who was chatting endlessly, Li Zhan gave his own fair evaluation of Ying Cheng's sentence.
In some parts, he strongly disagreed with Ying Cheng's judgment, but in other parts, he felt that Ying Cheng was more reasonable.
certainly.
This was just based on legislation. What Ying Cheng did in other places, he felt that he should have been sent to Tingwei Prison long ago and waited for his fate.
It can be said.
At this time, he looked at Ying Cheng's clear judgments one by one, and wrote his own judgments on the silk book.
Everyone below has different thoughts.
"Brother!"
"You gave birth to a good son!"
Gongzi Huai was right next to Da Shi Ling, staring at Ying Cheng's steady and clear statement, he couldn't help but sigh.
Such a statement itself is not something ordinary people can make.
more importantly.
All the regulations in the statement are reasonable and well-founded, and they are very reasonable.
This is too scary.
Only ten years old!
He could not imagine that in another ten years, who in the Great Qin court would be able to compete with him.
"Too strong, too strong, this guy is scary!"
"Then how could Fusu give birth to such a monster son? With this son here, I can't see the possibility of Great Qin being destroyed."
At the end, Chunyu Yue couldn't help being shocked and amazed.
I can't even figure out how Fusu, who has always been honest and simple, believed in Confucianism, and was benevolent and kind, managed to cultivate Ying Cheng to such an extent.
Now Ying Cheng should inherit Fusu's character.
But really, it's nothing like it.
Perhaps the theory of law and etiquette still cannot clearly see which school Yingcheng inherited.
So now Yingcheng discusses and judges one hundred and eight cases.
He could clearly see that the judgments covered Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, Taoism, Agriculture, Industry and many other schools of thought.
Even Guan Zhong's economic theory is included in it.
It can never be summarized by a single faction.
What puzzled him the most was that Ying Cheng was only ten years old, but he had already mastered these knowledge and could still learn and apply them.
It's really unbelievable.
In the Dalu Mansion, the voices of Ying Cheng’s discussion kept coming.
And when the Dalu Mansion was discussing the judgment case.
…
Wucheng Houfu!
This is the back garden of a mansion that has always had an extremely transcendent status in the Qin Dynasty.
At this time, the real top leaders of the entire Great Qin gathered.
Prime Minister Zuo Li Si.
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji.
Meng Yi, the imperial censor.
Feng Jie, the Protector of the Taiwei Mansion.
And the first emperor of the ages.
But these people were sitting at a stone table carved from bluestone.
The protagonist today is not the First Emperor, let alone Feng Jie and Li Si.
Sitting next to the First Emperor was a fit and healthy man who was a commoner but had a transcendent status in the Qin Dynasty. He was the only remaining living God of War!
He is also the only God of War, Wu Chenghou Wang Jian!
It can even be said that this is a miraculous old man.
Everyone in Li Si looked at Wang Jian and couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.
As the saying goes, an old man in a family is like a treasure, and it is no exaggeration to describe Wang Jian in front of him.
In the twenty-third year, only Qi and Chu were left among the six kingdoms. His Majesty launched a war to destroy Chu. He first sent Li Xin to attack Chu and returned with a great defeat.
In the twenty-fourth year, Wang Jian and his majesty ordered the entire country to attack Chu with 600,000 troops and finally destroy Chu.
In the twenty-sixth year, Qi was destroyed and Qin unified the world.
But when the Qin Dynasty was at its peak, Wang Jian was leading the way to unify the world, and when he wanted to award meritorious officials, he resolutely resigned three times on the grounds that he was old and in a trance.
No fiefdom, no title, no reward, just an acre of idle land and a courtyard to live in for the rest of your life.
That year, the eighty-two-year-old Wang Jian retired to seclusion and did not even want the title of Marquis of Wucheng.
A veteran of the Four Dynasties, he entered the army at the age of sixteen and accompanied Lord Wu An. He went through four generations of emperors and a life of military service. He made unparalleled contributions to the Qin Dynasty, but ended up like that in the end.
Their hearts were shaken like never before, and they were deeply shocked and admired.
It is said that since Wang Jian retired to seclusion, he never took a step out of Wuchenghou Mansion. He occasionally fished, went to the fields, and basked in the sun, and lived an extremely comfortable life.
This even made Li Si waver in his pursuit of power.
Now, seeing Wang Jian, who is about to turn ninety, so full of life and contentment, they are really envious.
certainly.
This is just a slightly wavering thought.
Meng Yi is strong and it is time to make progress.
Li Si controls the Qin Dynasty and has unfinished business. He also wants to die in the position of Prime Minister Zuo.
Feng Quji and Feng Jie were in charge of the army, while the other sat firmly in the court and were deeply trusted by the First Emperor. There was no possibility of returning to seclusion.
Even if there were, the First Emperor would never let it go.
And now.
The true core of power in Da Qin came to visit together, and it was definitely not to reminisce with old friends.
The breeze blew gently through the pavilion, and the sun was warm. The warm sun shone on Wang Jian, who had turned completely pale.
But Wang Jian felt solemn and suffocated like never before.
"The merit lies in the ages, but the sin lies in the present!"
After Wang Jian finished reading the last word of the silk book, he said eight words.
He has read the content of this silk book three times.
He understood that allowing His Majesty the First Emperor to come to seek advice in this way was enough to show that even His Majesty the First Emperor had difficulty making a choice.
After seeing this silk book, he did not dare to give any definite opinions on the direction.
"Yes, the crime is contemporary. With this strategy, I am afraid that I will be responsible for the loss of millions of soldiers of our Great Qin Dynasty. It is difficult for me to do this, so I am bothering the old general!"
The First Emperor couldn't help but lamented: "But this is also a strategy that will benefit our great Qin through the ages."
"Once this policy comes out, it will completely change the situation of recruiting corvee soldiers in the past. It will make all our people in the Qin Dynasty feel proud to join the army, so there is no need to worry about having no soldiers to use."
"Strengthen our Qin army. From now on, there will be no more conflicts between the military and the government."
The First Emperor said, Li Si, Feng Quji, Feng Jie, and Meng Yi immediately stood up and worshiped: "I will follow your majesty's secrets and strengthen our Qin policy, even if I die, I will have no regrets!"
Wang Jian shook his head, closed the silk book that replaced the national policy of farming and war, and said:
"Your Majesty, I suggest that this strategy be left to future generations to figure out slowly."
"To implement this strategy at this time is tantamount to shaking the foundation of our Great Qin. If we are not careful, it will lead to subversion!"
Wang Jian's words made the First Emperor shake his head and sigh: "I know, but I want to establish rules for eternity!"
"In the past, the Zhou Dynasty divided the world into feudal states, and the pattern of princes in the world lasted for thousands of years, and wars never stopped. Only through unification, abolishing feudalism, establishing prefectures and counties, and issuing decrees can the world be stabilized."
"I completely abolished the enfeoffment and did not enfeoff a vassal state, just to establish rules for the future generations. Only through unification can the world be safe, so as to prevent unscrupulous descendants from enfeoffing vassals again!"
"Even though the turmoil continues in the old land of the Six Kingdoms, if I stop attacking South Vietnam and the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are stationed in the old land of the Six Kingdoms, who will dare to move."
"But I can't. In our land of China, the northern strategic depth is insufficient, and the national strength will be weakened if foreign enemies invade. As long as the south pacifies the south, the north and the south defend each other, and are unified, no one can shake the foundation of our country.
.”
"Only with this foundation can we pass it on to the ages. The ages of China will be the ages of our Great Qin."
"Foreign enemies invaded our borders and plundered my people. They refused to give up an inch of territory and fought back resolutely. I should set an example for all generations to come!"
"We, the Qin Dynasty, rose up to dominate the world from the chaotic wars of the feudal princes when rituals and music collapsed. We should set the rules for the world!"
"Now, with this eternal military strategy in front of me, how can I wait!"
The First Emperor's words shook the ground. Li Si, Feng Quji, Feng Jie, and Meng Yi immediately bowed down and worshiped.
"I obey His Majesty's orders and establish rules for all ages."
As for being shocked.
Rather than being shocked, it is better to say that it is their shared vision.
Only through great unification can the world be at peace.
Every national policy they implement now is to set rules for future generations.
This is how you should govern the world!
Wang Jian stood up and bowed in obedience, but was stopped by the First Emperor. But even so, Wang Jian still shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's wish is also the wish of my veteran. However, although this strategy is good, the prerequisite is that our Qin officers and men should be sensible."
"Farming and war have been a national policy for hundreds of years. Our officers and soldiers of the Qin Dynasty all fight with their titles, so they have nothing to fear."
"But this policy ignores the title and focuses on military merit and honor. It is intangible and insubstantial. It is changed rashly and cannot convince the public."
"Whether it's preferential treatment for children or family members, it's all reflected in the ordinary. It takes five or ten years for the effect to be effective. But Your Majesty, once implemented, can it restrain millions of soldiers for five years?"
"This is definitely not a good opportunity to implement this strategy!"
Li Si frowned and asked: "Old General, do you think our officers and soldiers of Great Qin will rebel because of this?"
The First Emperor also looked at Wang Jian, which was also the doubt in the First Emperor's heart.
"Hey, I don't want to rest in peace and recuperate, that's all!" When Wang Jian saw the First Emperor's attitude, he understood.
If not dissuaded, the First Emperor would pursue this strategy, and the consequences would not be what he wanted to see.
"I have the courage to speak out, my Majesty, please convict me!"
Wang Jian said, he didn't want to hear anything but said it was okay, and said bluntly: "We in Great Qin have millions of soldiers, and we have achieved success in the battle to destroy the six kingdoms."
"There are tens of thousands of people who can be promoted to great concubines and elders."
"There are thousands of people who can enter the pass."
"The position of Chehou has hundreds of generals."
"Not to mention, among them, the big ones are built on top, the small ones are built on top, the left, middle and right are more powerful, the left and right are more senior, and millions of officers and men have a title per capita."
"But after Your Majesty established the world, the rewards were uneven and could not be divided. The soldiers were unevenly divided into fields. Although Your Majesty carries a general with no authority and dare not say anything, the soldiers can still fight for Your Majesty in all directions.
But in the affairs of the army, we don’t talk about anything else but the clear distinction between rewards and punishments.”
"If this strategy is pursued now, does Your Majesty think that we can still rely on the general trend to stabilize the soldiers?"
"Even if this strategy can be used for eternity, it is difficult to settle for this moment!"
"The national policy of farming and war has lasted for more than a hundred years, and the Qin Dynasty has been strong and powerful. It has accumulated so much prestige that it is absolutely difficult to change it at once."
"Your Majesty will accumulate prestige, be content with this life, and slowly plan for the next life, so you will have no worries."
"Old minister, please speak frankly. Please convict your Majesty!"
After Wang Jian said this, he knelt on the ground to apologize.
No one can stop me.
Everyone in Li Si looked at the First Emperor with shock.
The First Emperor also stared at Wang Jian with great shock.
These words.
When others told him, he would just laugh it off. He Yingzheng had absolute trust in the officers and soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.
But these words came from Wang Jian's mouth.
He will understand.
This not only represents the words of Wang Jian alone, but also the voice of the Qin soldiers.
only.
No one behaves in front of him.
In other words, as Wang Jian said, he won the government and carried the general trend of the world, and with his grandeur and majesty, the officers and soldiers of the Qin Dynasty did not dare to speak!
No one spoke.
The entire courtyard was quiet except for the sound of the wind.
for a long time.
The First Emperor said solemnly: "If I insist on implementing it, the old general may have a good plan!"
Wang Jian stood up helplessly, looked directly at the First Emperor, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty blames himself for his crimes and condenses the hearts of the three armies. This heart will surely move the sun and the moon, and shake the heaven and the earth!"
…
Dalu Mansion!
Little did Ying Cheng know that he had posed an eternal problem to the First Emperor.
But he.
Our determination to strengthen Qin will never waver!
Ying Cheng scanned the people in the hall and said in a loud voice:
"Sins can be divided into four categories."
"Crimes of etiquette, crimes of law and etiquette, crimes of law, crimes of endangering the safety of the Qin Dynasty."
"First, ritual sin!"
"The twenty-seventh person who committed a crime because of etiquette should be judged based on etiquette education and correct his words and deeds. A committed a crime by cutting down his own trees and should be given correct guidance to correct his thoughts."
"Second, the crime of law and etiquette!"
"The first one, I think, is a crime of law and etiquette. Then we should judge the crime of law based on morality and etiquette, and criticize and correct its etiquette and morality. However, because A did commit a crime in behavior, he should be punished appropriately.
Punishment."
"Third, legal crime!"
"This law is undisputed. Because he commits a crime based on his subjective will, he will be punished with a fixed sentence."
"Fourth, the crime of endangering the safety of the Qin Dynasty."
"The crime of maliciously spreading rumors and improper behavior causing damage to the authority of the Emperor of Qin or the government!"
"The crime of maliciously causing large-scale losses at all levels in our Daqin region!"
"The crime of leaking Daqin's secret contents includes but is not limited to military, government orders, secret orders, etc.!"
"For example, leaking military information before the war, maliciously hoarding food causing losses to the people in the area, maliciously spreading rumors to slander Da Qin and assassinating important officials of Da Qin, etc."
"With this legislation, we can divide the Qin law into ten principles and make it the law for all ages."
