『Dissafe...』 Zhong Yao looked at the sky and said leisurely, 『This matter has been discussed for a long time...』
Zhong Yao sat down, put his hand on his knees, and some memories appeared in his eyes.
Since the establishment of a country, the death penalty has undoubtedly been the highest manifestation of national will and national violence.
Regarding whether there should be a death penalty, the discussion in China was actually a thousand years earlier than that in foreign countries.
At least in the history of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were at least four large-scale debates on whether the death penalty should be changed to corporal punishment.
Zhong Yao undoubtedly played a very important role in these four major debates.
In many Western documents in later generations, China was always regarded as a barbaric and uncivilized area. One of the reasons was that there were many "cruel punishments" in ancient China, and then it was used to show how advanced and pleasant Western civilization was, and it was completely forgotten how much a scalp cost.
In fact, China has been considering the issue of death penalty for a long time, but what is interesting is that from the beginning, Chinese politicians knew that the issue of death penalty was not just about the death penalty itself, but about the overall punishment system. Therefore, when discussing the death penalty, many other punishments or other political related issues are often mixed. It is not like the West alone and one-sided study of a point or a surface, so it is often covered up in many historical materials and has not received much attention.
Moreover, there was a period of time in the Tang Dynasty in China that the death penalty was really abolished!
As for why the death penalty was abolished during the Tang Dynasty, of course it is another problem...
Now, Zhong Yao has proposed to exempt the death penalty, which naturally has his own political purpose.
"If I had discussed this matter earlier, Kong Wenju might..." Zhong Yan, who was beside him, also sighed slightly, "Guo and Li were fighting for trouble. He moved the capital to Chang'an and thought about returning home. Looking at Guandong is sad. I dreamed of Cao Gong's return." Kong Wenju got this poem back then, did he think that he would die in the end at Cao Gong's hands? Oh huh!"
Zhong Yao frowned, "Be careful! Don't talk too much about this!"
Among the people who have been killed in all dynasties, are they really deserved to be killed?
Obviously impossible.
So is it worth rehabilitation after being killed?
Obviously, it is impossible.
"Okay, don't talk about this matter, don't talk about this matter!" Zhong Yan waved his hand, "Everyone listens to your brother! Listen to your brother! Since that's the case, what is the purpose of the brother's statement to return to death this time?"
Zhong Yao glanced at Zhong Yan with a squinted eyes, "What do you think it's for?"
Zhong Yan laughed, "Prime Minister Cao's hands are too dark now... Oh, he is the school secretary under Prime Minister Cao. His hands are too dark, it's time to take care of them..."
Zhong Yao nodded slightly, "This is one."
Zhong Yan stroked his beard, "Could it be..."
"Be careful of your words." Zhong Yao reminded again.
Zhong Yan seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to be able to understand it completely.
...
...
For Liu Xie, if he had imagined after he sat on the throne of the emperor, he would never want him to become like this now. But he just came to this embarrassing situation step by step.
"What do you think about what you have reported to you by Zang?
Liu Xie asked slowly.
The aura is stable.
It seems that Wang Xiu's previous death did not affect Liu Xie's mood.
"I report to Your Majesty, I think this matter will be of great benefit to the country. Today, the war has been long and the people have suffered a lot. If you are exempted from death, you can live..."
"I will report to Your Majesty, and I think this matter is not as good as it is. If there is no death, it is not enough to deter the law of crime..."
『Read the comments to Your Majesty…』
Liu Xie seemed to listen carefully on the surface, but his mind had already flown outside the hall.
He looked back on the past and seemed to have many opportunities, but...
Liu Xie, who had just ascended the throne, actually had never received any education from the emperor. He didn't know how to be an emperor. After Situ Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, when he looked back, Liu Xie felt that this was originally his best opportunity to regain power.
At that time, most of the people in the world were inclined toward the Han Dynasty. At the same time, when Dong Zhuo died, Situ Wang Yun did not use the emperor to make the princes ambition. He was just good at internal fighting and was politically stupid. If Liu Xie could control the direction at this time, the car of the Han Dynasty would go in another direction...
Unfortunately, Liu Xie thought that Wang Yun was worthy of entrusting at that time, so Liu Xie entrusted all the state affairs to Wang Yun.
But it was Wang Yun's series of stupid and arrogant decisions that the Han chariot was once again broken, and the consequences were even more serious than that of Dong Zhuo's time...
If the first time, he could still blame He Jin and Yuan Wei and others for the crime, or it would be said that it was a problem with the previous emperor Liu Bian, but Wang Yun's account after he came to power could only be counted on Liu Xie.
It can be said that if Liu Xie could quickly stabilize the situation and gather the remaining troops of Xiliang left by Dong Zhuo by Wang Yun, then whether it was the Second Yuan or Cao Cao and Fei Qian, they would have to bow down and obey orders in the end. Dong Zhuo was only in chaos with Heluo, and the rest of the areas were not affected much.
The second time to take power may be in Pingyang.
The cavalry...
Liu Xie sighed inconspicuously.
Unfortunately, Liu Xie did not dare to entrust him again because of Wang Yun's time.
Although Liu Xie hesitated, he finally chose to go east and return to Luoyang and return to Guangwu.
Liu Xie chose to do it himself.
When he saw the rebuilt Pingyang, he thought he could do it himself. Since Pingyang can be rebuilt, why is it impossible for Luoyang to be rebuilt?
It was not until he arrived in Luoyang with hope that he realized that he was wrong again and again.
Without the support of the princes and counties in various places, his emperor could only be considered a fart. At that time, there were difficulties in eating, and he could not even let go of his farts...
The third time, I believed Cao Cao wrongly.
Originally, Liu Xie believed that Cao Cao was the humeral minister who could help him restore the Han Dynasty. After all, Cao Cao was a eunuch and could be said to be one of the people closest to the royal family, but what happened later made him fall into despair again.
As Cao Cao's power grew, Cao Cao began to gradually regard Liu Xie as a puppet, which made Liu Xie recall the unbearable years of being coerced by Dong Zhuo, Li Guo and others at that time, so he had the idea of ​​getting rid of Cao Cao, but it was actually too late...
After repeated and repeated blows, Liu Xie truly understood a truth: relying on the heaven, earth, and ministers, he was fucking unreliable!
So Liu Xie began to change and rely on himself.
First of all, he tried to gather some ministers for his own use, but the action was too obvious. Then he was quickly slapped in the face by Cao Cao. So Liu Xie began to occupy the righteousness, trying to tie himself up with the righteousness of the world and suppress Cao Cao from the righteousness. Unfortunately, Liu Xie found that many ministers, including Cao Cao, were playing with him even better than him!
Then Liu Xie changed direction and tried to contact ordinary people. The rural people came to the following system, but he found that the road was not working. He was already high and even if he tried hard to bend down, he still couldn't touch the ground...
Failures, struggles, and repeated blows.
And this time, Liu Xie chose to be the "referee".
This may be a new path.
but……
As for the casualties of athletes on the sports field, perhaps it is inevitable during the competition?
Who knows?
...
...
"In my spare time, I should read more poetry and books, why do I go out and come back late?"
Chen Qun in Yecheng took off his official robe and sighed at Chen Tai with a little tired look, "The Chen family has passed down from generation to generation to generation... If we talk about ancestors, we can pursue the descendants of Emperor Shun of Yu. When the great father passed away, the general sent envoys to worship him. More than 30,000 people came to the country, and hundreds of people were killed... How glorious was Chen family? If later generations did not read the scriptures, they would lose their reputation and become mediocre people, how sad it would be?"
Chen Tai bowed his head, "My father, it's not that the child does not read the scriptures, but...but now that there are many scriptures in Qinglong Temple in Guanzhong, and there are many paradoxes... The child can't help but argue...
Chen Qun signaled Chen Tai to sit down, "Zheng said, "A gentleman is not a weapon. What should this mean?"
"It is easy to say that metaphysical things are called Tao, and physical things are called tools. A gentleman does not have tools, so he should not..." Chen Tai replied subconsciously, then lowered his head and said, "Oh, my child understands."
"Just understand." Chen Qun nodded.
Chen Tai looked at Chen Qun, then lowered his head.
"What else is there?" Chen Qun asked.
『I heard that... there are also a large number of people from Yingchuan in Guanzhong...』 Chen Tai asked, 『If this time... the East-West War... Could it be that Yingchuan would also have to divide things again?』
again……
It's indeed again.
Chen Qun frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Where do you discuss Yingchuan? Only those who know can call Yingchuan the essence, and the rest are not worth worrying about. What is the importance of the Han Dynasty today? It is a scholar."
Chen Tai said again: "But... my father, I heard that Guanzhong Ju used a large number of poor children..."
Chen Qun said in a deep voice: "This is the way to be clever! How can people be born to know it? Only when they learn the books of sages can they understand the truth and the right things. If they do not understand the truth but govern the prefectures, wouldn't they be without the right things and lose their standards? Don't let such nonsense make them confused!"
Chen Tai responded and then stepped back.
Chen Qun looked at Chen Tai's figure and remained silent. He originally thought that official duties would make him feel sad, but he didn't expect that after returning to his residence and chatting with his children for two or three sentences, he felt even more worried.
In Yingchuan, it is not anyone who is rich or the boss, nor who can be the leader as an official. Just like the Xun family, the Xun family has never served as the third duke, but their fame and reputation have always been ranked first, surpassing other families who have served as the third duke in Yingchuan. The most fundamental reason is that the Xun family in Yingchuan firmly controls the right to interpret several scriptures.
For example, the Book of Changes.
Chen Qunmo, the Chen family in Yingchuan also has their own good classics.
Just like Chen Qun is good at "The Book of Zhou", but in recent years, Qinglong Temple's influence on Shandong and Yingchuan has gradually increased, and even began to affect Chen Qun's children...
Even though Chen Tai might have just had some questions, Chen Qun felt that this was undoubtedly a huge threat to Yingchuan. This threat may not be a direct life-and-death choice on the battlefield, but it has a far-reaching impact and shakes Yingchuan's foundation!
Chen Qun thought about it, suddenly remembered something, and immediately got up and searched on the bookshelf in the study, and then found the latest news from Yingchuan. Looking at the various discussions caused by Zhong Yao's proposal of the issue of replacing the dead and returning flesh, he couldn't help but look a little surprised on his face. Then he walked to the table, pointed out some candlelight, and began to ponder.
Soon, Chen Qun picked up his pen and started writing memorials under the candlelight...
...
...
Heluo.
Cao Cao, standing by the river, looked at the endless river water, pondering without saying a word.
Those close to Cao Cao were all the most elite soldiers of the Cao family. Each of them had bright armor and stood high under the flying flag, with a strong momentum.
Old classmate Cao in Luoyang received a bad news.
Ren Jun sent him a secret message saying that some borers were found and were being processed, but some problems may arise during this period of food and grass supply...
Ren Jun's letter made Cao Cao very angry. He sent someone to call Guo Jia and Dong Zhao.
『There is something wrong with the food?" Guo Jia narrowed his eyes, 『So quickly? These worms are really bold, I thought at least they would wait until next year when the young and old age was out of reach...』
When the food is not accepted, the food is extremely expensive.
The little eyes under Cao Cao's thick eyebrows were filled with anger.
The ills of Shandong are actually no different from those in the desert. When the head wolf is present, the other male wolves in the pack are obedient and obedient. However, as soon as the head wolf leaves, they will immediately hook up and rogue...
"How could Boda be so careless?" Dong Zhao said indignantly, "The lord worked hard to make plans for the great man, but there were these wormworms... These wormworms! What's the use of greed for so much money?!"
"Is the money that good?" Cao Cao suppressed his anger and pointed at his robe. "Someone has patched the clothes in this middle, but they are not wearing the same clothes? Someone has eaten in the army with the same food as all the generals! If he lives at home and has no cook, his wife will cook, and it will be the same as the one who eats? Just one food and food, what can I ask for? Life is only a few decades, can I spend it? Now the great man is so bad that he is dependent on it, drinking blood and eating marrow! Now the great man is as ill as he is in danger, and he is still unwilling to give up! He still crawls on it and sucks it! I just regret that the colorful sticks were not able to kill them all in the past!"
Guo Jia and Dong Zhao were both silent.
As the saying goes, it is hard to change habits, and that's it. Just like trying to get rid of the quarrel, once the habit of corruption is formed, it is almost like a drug addiction. You can't control your mouth and hand, even if you were thinking about it before and how long it took for yourself to build yourself, you will subconsciously make money when you encounter something, and even if you can't spend the money you get.
How developed was the entertainment industry in the Han Dynasty?
Just by seeing Fei Qian transporting some Western Regions goods, it will be possible to seduce the sects of Shandong.
hiss……
It seems that later generations are...
Well, forget it.
Lao Cao was really angry this time. If it were normal days, it would be fine if he endured it. After all, it would be hard to be a family member without deafness or dumbness. But now he finally had such an opportunity. Once he missed it, everything would fail, and it would also make Fei Qian alert, and he might never have a second chance in the future.
Cao Cao thought that before the war started, he had said everything from top to bottom mobilization meetings, communication meetings, exchange meetings, and did it. He even took away the members of the Xiahou clan in Qiao County as a placard...
But even so, these people still ignore it.
Perhaps it was because Mr. Cao did not realize it, or maybe he realized it, but he did not have enough time to change it. After all, once all the trend of looking at money was formed in the entire society, just by posting a few documents or arresting a few corrupt officials, it would undoubtedly be a daydream. The decaying car of the man will continue to slide into the abyss under inertia. If you don’t want to take real action, you will just repair it and it will be useless.
"Lord, this matter should not be made public." Guo Jia whispered, "It is better to conquer Hangu first... If it is promoted, it is afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable..."
Dong Zhao also took out the registration account of logistics supplies from his arms, "Lord, the army's food and grass can still last for a month... It is said that Yang has many secret warehouses in Hongnong..."
Cao Cao took the account, looked through it, pondered for a while, and said to Dong Zhao: "Your Masahiri should not be too anxious to do this matter... Just say it's a purchase..."
Dong Zhao nodded slightly, "I understand."
"What do you think of the advice that Yang Dezu offered?" Cao Cao turned around and asked Guo Jia.
Guo Jia pondered for a moment, "It's too complicated."
Cao Cao nodded, "Yang Dezu talked about war on paper, but he did not have real talent."
Yang Xiu's plan really sounds very good. He first advances to Hedong, then conquers Pingyang, and then you can bypass Tongguan and go straight to Chang'an. It is equivalent to drawing a few-character shape on the map, which naturally avoids bloody battles under Tongguan.
But the problem is that the plan is beautiful and it really takes effect, it is like anti-corruption.
The focus of corruption is not to arrest one by one or another, but to the soil for corruption.
This is the core issue, just like the core of Guanzhong, which is Fei Qian.
Cao Cao must demonstrate his means and power that are stronger than Fei Qian, in order to shock Guanzhong and Shandong, and to firmly take up the position of prime minister, otherwise...
"Is this Guanzhong cavalry soldier because he couldn't handle it or was he considered himself very high?" Cao Cao asked slowly.
'There is only one try.' Guo Jia said, 'There are wolves and tigers in front and behind, so let's try it out!'
Cao Cao was silent for a long time and suddenly laughed, "Haha, this matter is very good!"
Cao Cao laughed, "Let's give it a try!"
Most of the people thought that Cao Cao was very high in nature and was in a good mood, but only Guo Jia could understand that Cao Cao was in a bad mood at the moment...
Since leading the army to rebel against Dong, Cao Cao has always "taken a try" all the way, and then he has tried every time, just like a gambler, every time he piled up all his assets on the gambling table.
Perhaps part of this is due to Cao Cao's nature, and part of the reason may be that conditions force Cao Cao no other better choice, so he can only "let go" again and again...
Perhaps that day, this one-time gamble will become the last wave.
Cao Cao knew that this was not good, but unfortunately he couldn't change it...
Happy National Day!
Every time this festival comes, I always remember someone shouting and standing up!
Salute to the great man!
Even if he can't name it...
Salute to countless sacrificed heroes!
Chapter completed!
