Chapter 1967 Law of Corruption, Psychological Shadow
Corruption is a worldwide problem.
Just like a cancer, corruption will arise with the birth of a political power. It will mutate out of normal officials inadvertently, and then become a stubborn disease. It will grow in the bureaucracy, absorb nutrients, and automatically and spontaneously strengthen itself.
Then it destroys the various skills of the original body until it dies together with the original body system, and then is resurrected in a new body.
And interestingly, just as cancer can occur in any organ of the human body, corruption can also occur in any region or anywhere.
In ancient times, "Book of Xia" said: "Faint, ink, thief, kill. Gaotao's punishment is also."
During the Western Zhou Dynasty, "Shang Shu Lu Xing" defined the "five faults" of officials.
During the Qin Dynasty, the emperor system and the county system were formally established, and the laws related to official corruption were further systematized. Officials who privately misappropriated or embezzled money from the government treasury were punished with the crime of theft; tax collectors made false accounts and secretly
Hiding taxes is the same crime as making counterfeit money; it was even made clear for the first time that officials use official cars and use official cars and horses for personal gain in the name of official duties, and they will be severely punished by the law. The Qin Dynasty has always been strict in laws.
It is well-known that this is especially true for officials. Officials at all levels are jointly seated, and officials are encouraged to report on each other. It is said that if one person commits a crime, everyone will be implicated.
This harsh method makes officials' powers and responsibilities clear to a certain extent and they dare not act randomly, but its extreme side effects are also very prominent. Sometimes there are even more unjust, false and wrongful convictions than real corruption...
After all, unjust, false and erroneous cases were common in later generations, let alone in the Qin Dynasty where all methods were backward.
So in the Han Dynasty, after seeing the shortcomings of corruption in the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty finally listened to the Confucianism and what moral standards should be used as a measure, and placed its hope in the selection and assessment of officials based on "filial piety"
People with good reputations such as integrity, strong virtues, gentleness, courtesy and thrift can indeed have good results as local officials and central officials at first, but...
In the face of interests, morality can only say "mouse tail juice" and lie down and let others have their way.
So in the later period, corruption in the Han Dynasty was more serious than that in the Qin Dynasty. Of course, the Qin Dynasty was too short to be a good reference. The strict legal system of corruption in the Qin Dynasty, including consecutive sittings, etc., can be used as a reference.
But we cannot copy them uniformly. After all, no matter how good the system is, the executors are still human beings.
If Fei Qian really copied all the laws of the Qin Dynasty, he might have given corrupt officials a better opportunity to eliminate political opponents...
So after Wei Duan delivered the tenth and eleventh edition of the "Law of Corruption", Fei Qian reluctantly passed it and said that it might be revised at any time.
After the "Law of Corruption" was officially confirmed, there was a problem before Fei Qian, and it was also the node that many people were staring at: Fei He and Fei Zicheng.
Fei He secretly tampered with the war horse data and sold it for profit, which is undoubtedly corruption.
"The great Han hussar general has arrived!"
The loud and clear voice coming from outside the door made Fei He tremble in fright, and then he jumped up quickly. While calling the maids and servants repeatedly to check whether their clothes were in line with etiquette, he actively ordered the guests to prepare and rushed out to greet them.
And out.
Fei Qian's guards had already entered the courtyard early and occupied an important position. Then Fei Qian put his hands behind his back and looked at the tall lintel and eaves, seemingly with a faint smile on his face.
"I...I pay my respects to the general..." Fei He ran out. He originally wanted to call himself "Xiaguan" out of habit, but after he said it, he realized that he had been dismissed from his post, so he changed it to "Xiaguan".
Fei Qian nodded slightly, then looked at Fei He and said: "People often say that Mr. Fei is so bright that he has a rich family, jade steps, and a palace full of gold. It seems... that's true..."
Fei He suddenly sweated on his forehead and smiled dryly. He didn't know how to answer, "This..." Fei He can't say that I'm not the only one with the surname Fei?
After checking it once, Huang Xu returned to the gate and nodded to Fei Qian.
Fei Qian smiled and stepped forward, and Fei He quickly followed.
Entering the hall, Fei Qian sat in the center seat. Although this family belonged to Fei He, there was no problem for Fei Qian sitting in the chair now, both from an official position and from a family perspective.
"Did you gain anything from meditating at home today?" Fei Qian asked.
Fei He quickly kowtowed and said: "If you were negligent in the next moment, you should not be deceived by villains and sell war horses. You are guilty, guilty!"
Fei Qian chuckled and shook his head: "It seems that Zicheng hasn't "made it" yet... It's a pity..."
Seeing that Fei Qian looked like he was about to get up and leave, Fei He quickly banged his head on the wooden board in the hall, "I'm stupid! But for the sake of my late father, please give me some advice."
...』
Fei Qian sat back down and was silent for a moment, "You get up first and do it well."
Feihe shuddered and tried again.
Fei Qian looked at Fei He, sighed slightly, and said: "I have been thinking for a few days, but you are still on the surface and have not reached the core. It is really disappointing... It is negligence or the villain's deception. All of these reasons are acceptable, but what?
? Negligence? Why negligence? The villain confuses, what is bewitching? Why bewitch? You are guilty. Is it a crime against the country? Is it a crime against the family? Is it a crime against others?"
"This...this..." Fei He was speechless and couldn't say anything.
Fei Qian looked up at the sky and said, "Do you know that there is a gate at Pingyang Academy? What is it called?"
"Qu... Qumen..."
"What's the path after Qumen?" Fei Qian asked again.
"You have a way..." Fei He slumped and murmured.
Fei Qian nodded, "If you enter Qumen but have no way, who can blame you? In the past...hehe, forget it...you can see for yourself..."
Fei Qian took out a watch stamp from his sleeve and threw it in front of Fei He.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the final corruption law formulated by the Senate, and will be promulgated and implemented after the New Year, which means that within this period, Fei and
All officials, including those who commit corrupt acts, will be punished by these laws.
Fei He shook his hands, then opened it and took a few glances. Even in winter, the sweat on his head was still rolling down. Then he threw himself in front of Fei Qian with a thud, begging, "Master... Master, please save me."
...』
Whether in ancient times or in later generations, embezzlement of military assets has always been the most serious crime, and war horses are naturally military assets. Therefore, there is only one way to wait for Feihe.
Dead end.
Fei He cried bitterly and came up to hug Fei Qian's legs and feet, saying, "Master, master, save me... I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore... Fei, the number of people in the Fei family is originally very small, so it will offend others."
A life can be used to look after the house and the home for the head of the family..."
Fei Qian lowered his head and looked at Fei He, who had wiped his tears and nose on his robe. He sighed and said, "When the old admonishing doctor was still alive, a certain man was just an official in the first district of Luoyang. When he wanted to go to Jingzhou,
, The admonishment doctor once said that all the letters and slips left by a certain late father should be sent to his home to ensure that the legacy is safe. I don’t know if my son is born, how can I know this? 』
Fei He was stunned and looked up at Fei Qian.
Fei Qian said slowly, "Now that my son is about to leave, I agree with my uncle's words to ensure that my son has no worries about his legacy. I will treat your wife well. When my son is here, he can go on his own in peace..."
Fei Qian glanced at Huang Xu, and Huang Xu understood, stepped forward and pried Fei He's hand away, and then held down Fei He, who was still struggling to hold him, to let Fei Qian escape.
Fei Qian left without looking back.
Feihe cried loudly and beat his head on the ground.
"Boom! Gululu..." Suddenly a small ceramic bottle rolled down in front of Fei He.
"This..." Fei He looked up at Huang Xu.
Huang Xu stretched out a finger, tapped the small ceramic bottle, and said, "This medicine can ward off evil... Just think about it for yourself..." After that, he also left with the rest of the guards.
In the hall, only Fei He was left paralyzed on the ground, staring at the small ceramic bottle in front of his nose with a pair of dull eyes...
Fei Qian turned on his horse and saw the snot and tears left by Fei He on his legs, as well as a trace of makeup that was obviously on Fei He's face. He shook his head slightly, sighed, then looked to the east for a long time, and finally shook his head.
The horse goes away.
The sky is clear, clear and translucent, like a large blue gem.
"drive!"
Fei Qian tapped the horse's belly slightly, and the group moved forward slowly.
——"Han Xijing Corruption Law", Article 7, "Anyone who misappropriates, steals, or passes off as counterfeit military funds will not be pardoned, cut in half, or abandoned from the market."
