Liu Yu nodded: "If someone violates the national law and kills someone, even if he is a heinous person, he will be punished with a stick and then exiled. However, I think that the person you killed was a thief and an adulterer. It is an act that pleases people's hearts and is an act of filial piety, so I will be given a lighter sentence." When he was defeated, Shen Yuanzi was dismissed from his post on the spot. He was given thirty sticks and went home in vain. All the contributions made by the Shen family members in establishing the righteousness this time will be waived and their original positions will remain unchanged. Do you and the other five people have any objections? "
There was still a look of injustice on Shen Tianzi's face, but Shen Yuanzi was the first to bow: "The Commander-in-Chief shows mercy beyond the law. My brothers and I have no objections and are extremely grateful. I and I..."
When the other Shen family tigers saw the eldest brother's statement, they all had no choice but to kneel down and bow down. However, Liu Yu suddenly said: "Shen Yuanzi, I repeat it here. I will never show mercy outside the law."
Shen Yuanzi raised his head in surprise, only to hear Liu Muzhi smile slightly and say: "Everyone, according to our laws in Jin Dynasty, if it is not a heinous crime, such as treason, disrespect, disobedience and unfilial piety, etc. As for other violations of the law, you can use your titles and merits to offset them. The children of the aristocratic families who were in Jiankang before often committed illegal things, but few of them actually broke the law, just because they could use their own The title can be used to offset these crimes. Unless someone is on the wrong side in a political struggle and is implicated, other crimes committed in conflicts with ordinary civilians can be exempted in this way."
Everyone suddenly realized that these military men rarely even thought of such a thing before. After all, as soldiers, they have been in the military camp for many years and are bound by military laws, and their families rarely understand these high-level laws in the capital, and few people have. Even though I have a title, I don't know if it can also serve as an atonement.
Liu Yu looked around and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Jingkou Jianyi, everyone has made meritorious service and received salary, but the title cannot be given to everyone yet. First, Huanxuan has not been destroyed, and powerful enemies still exist, and it has not yet been fully It’s time to reward based on merit. Another thing is that although the Jin Dynasty has returned to the country, His Majesty has not yet welcomed him back. He is surrounded by powerful enemies. There are rebels like Huan Xuan outside, and a big Huru country like Nan Yan, and there are also some inside. Many people like Shen Yu, who have taken refuge in the puppet government and have evil intentions, are taking advantage of the chaos to commit lawlessness. They even take in stragglers in the name of protecting the country and the people, and continue to oppress good people. Can we get rid of these evil people who take advantage of the situation? It is related to the reputation of our new regime, so at this time, I cannot issue these titles to the soldiers. Who is in favor of this decision and who is against it?"
Xiang Jing was the first to stand up and said loudly: "Brothers, have you heard what Brother Jinu said? It is for our own good that we are not given a title at this time. We rough people, once we have wealth in our hands, our family will A bunch of aunts and uncles who are usually beyond our control will come to our door. Even if we can control ourselves, can we say that we can control these family members? Then they will rely on the law of the title to compensate for crimes and do evil outside. Then won’t we become Huan Xuan’s slaves? Guys, tell me, is this the truth?”
Sun Chu laughed and said: "What Tieniu said is right. At this time, our powerful enemy has not been eliminated, and the world is far from peaceful. We can't just go home and lie down and live a comfortable life. As long as we are still here Those left behind in the Beifu army, then we have to continue to do big things and earn a higher title. How can we live in peace and contentment with what we have now?"
Liu Yu nodded: "This point has been discussed in the court. If you want to leave the army and return to your hometown to be a wealthy brother, you can apply to Master Liu now and go through the retirement procedures. I, Liu Yu, will never force it.
Brothers who don’t want to fight continue to fight. They will never do so in this life. Brothers who go home can give priority to the titles they deserve. When the time comes, they can go to the fiefdom and become rich men."
Liu Muzhi cleared his throat: "Everyone, most of the titles in the capital are currently occupied by the children of aristocratic families. Even if the corresponding titles for retired soldiers are issued in advance, they can only be in other states and counties of the Jin Dynasty, and this is a real title.
, after obtaining the title, you need to go to the local fief. According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, one-third of the local tax will be allocated to the corresponding number of households each year to the corresponding title holders. For example, a county title of 100 households will be charged the local 33
I must make this clear to everyone."
Xu Chite was surprised and said: "Can't I take this title? I don't think all the aristocratic families in the capital can..."
Liu Yu said calmly: "Chite, it's different. These founding families all made great contributions to the country. No matter how unworthy their descendants are now, at least based on their contribution at that time, they were all awarded the founding title. This founding title can be
Those who are passed down to descendants and other non-founding knights are usually demoted one level from generation to generation. This time we established Yiyi, there were too many soldiers who made meritorious service, and there may be thousands of people who can be awarded the title, so this time the court decided that those who would be awarded the title would be
The one-time civilians who can be exterminated upon death, including myself, are like everyone else. The ordinary civilians who can only be exterminated upon death, together with all the soldiers, will not start until Huanchu is eliminated and the Jin Dynasty is restored to peace.
When it comes to meritorious service, who is in favor of this and who is against it?"
All the soldiers performed a military salute in unison: "We agree with you, Commander-in-Chief, to stay in Beifu and make new achievements!"
A smile flashed across Liu Yu's eyes and he nodded: "Everyone, the military and official positions given to you this time are all purposeful. I hope you can fulfill your duties in your new positions and be ready to fight at any time.
The preparations I have made, I believe, will soon be put to use by everyone.”
Tan Shao opened his eyes wide: "Commander, are you telling the truth? Didn't Brother Xile and Brother Wuji send troops to pursue Huan Xuan? Those of us who didn't get the chance to go out still have time to fight?
"
Liu Yu said seriously: "As I said before, powerful enemies are everywhere, and there are hidden dangers both inside and outside. As soldiers, we should be on guard and ready for battle at any time. Whether we are in the army or serving as local officials, we must
Let us bring out the vigor and enthusiasm of our Beifu soldiers, so that the long-overdue Jin Dynasty can see a different atmosphere. If some people are self-reliant on their merits, or are dissatisfied with their current positions, and then become lazy and neglect their work, they will misunderstand the situation.
Anyone who interferes with state affairs, as a general of the army, will definitely be severely punished in accordance with the national law. When the time comes, no one will ask me to ask for a relationship. Who is in favor of this and who is against it?"
All the soldiers said in unison: "We will obey the commander-in-chief's military orders!"
Liu Yu nodded and said: "Okay, today's first promotion is here. Everyone retires and receives their respective official seals. After the seal, they will take up their new positions. General Zhu Lingshi of Ningyuan stayed behind because I have something to do.
