As time goes by, the rhythm of the entire Tang Dynasty can be clearly eased. If we talk about the biggest thing during this period, the Dang Renhong incident.
He was originally a military general of the Sui Dynasty, but later led his army to surrender to Li Shimin.
This person is talented and has good political achievements and reputation everywhere he goes, which makes Li Shimin value him very much.
But because of his corruption and abuse of power, he embezzled about one million yuan. If he counts about one thousand guan, he will probably have more than one thousand guan.
In the Tang Dynasty, if fifteen pieces of silk were corruption, they would be punished with death, and fifteen pieces of silk were now scattered to two pieces.
In other words, it seems that it is not too much to be killed a thousand times in theory.
Although Li Tai had more than 1,000 yuan in money and food, Li Tai was very guilty after hearing this.
Because I have always used fractions, the fractions I have erased have accumulated about tens of thousands of dollars.
But in terms of the price at that time, the purchasing power of more than 1,000 guan was already very terrifying. Even in order to control the number of enrollment, Li Tai's Agricultural College increased the admission price year by year, and gradually increased to about guan every year.
"The King of Wei can obtain such words and deeds, but he already knows the law better than many law enforcement officers!" Sun Fujia was surprised to see Li Tai's words when he heard Li Tai's words.
But think about it, when King Wei was young, he was suppressed by Confucianism, so it was natural that he did not like Confucian etiquette.
But the bad news is that the father, mother, wife, and three tribes accompanied me to Qinjiang to exile.
These entire families migrated, and when they were relieved of their sins, they could completely form a small village in the local area.
If he doesn't kill this person and put him in Xizhou, who can clarify the law and calculate it by using his embezzlement of the stolen money, how long will he be sentenced to imprisonment!"
Of course, as long as the policy is a loophole, maybe even if someone is a good official, he is bullied by his family and becomes ruthless, so you can go to the frontier with yourself to work hard work.
This method of involvement can only be regarded as a special amnesty for this matter in a short period of time. If this law is enforced in the future, it is best to ask you personally, at least it cannot be regarded as a law that will be implemented immediately."
Li Tai said calmly: "I mean, since he embezzled and accepted bribes, he would not be the only one who benefits.
"The corvee service that the old man had not yet completed was distributed to the rest of his family." Li Tai said calmly,
A few days later, Taizong summoned officials from the fifth rank or above to the Tai Chi Hall and told everyone: "The law is a right obtained by people from heaven. You cannot break your trust through personal affairs. Today, I prefer the Party and Renhong and want to forgive me.
His death sentence is an act of destroying national laws and is punished by God.
Li Tai shook his head and said, "After all, if the sentence is light, it may make corrupt officials no longer afraid of death, and make corrupt officials rampant in the officialdom.
So although this proposal to implicate the Nine Clans sounds outrageous, it actually accepts much better than that of modern people.
After all, Aye has always been kind, for example, one day he was going to Taishan to get a general amnesty for the world. Each person reduced the number of corvee service for three years.
Li Tai looked at Sun Fujia and said, "That depends on whether this person has made a profit because of his tribe members.
The ministers naturally opposed it. After all, this matter set a precedent, so the corruption in the future will not be stopped.
But that was Li Tai's own incredible talent in internal affairs, so he seemed amazing to himself, but in fact it was Li Tai's conservative and cautious choice.
Especially if you die, you even have to do everything possible to live. Only by living can you atone for your family.
When he saw that his whole family and his clan were exiled for his corruption, Dang Renhong didn't know whether he should thank the saint for his kindness or hated the ruthlessness of the King of Wei who made this opinion.
After all, society is developing, but it has been eliminated.
After all, ordinary people are not qualified to commit corruption, or even to the point of death. If there is any, it would be really damn!
After they are free from sin, things will definitely change, but the atonement will be successful. Therefore, the court can distribute land to ordinary people or allow them to become soldiers in the palace, edit them into books and settle down in the local area."
Especially when the family goes to serve together, they are taken care of each other to some extent, and they are not afraid of being bullied by locals.
As for Dang Renhong, he thought he was dead because of this incident, but when he was in prison, he did not expect that the imperial edict sent to Qinzhou, probably near Qinjiang, Guangxi.
During his corruption and bribery, his father, mother, and wife would not have enjoyed any benefits.
After thinking about it, I wanted to find a way out for him, but I never found a convincing reason.
"Yeah, be steady in doing things!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction when he heard Li Tai's words.
"If this regulation is followed, corruption is always a death sentence and it will be exiled to Xizhou for about twenty years.
To be honest, Sun Fujia has always had no good impression of Li Tai, not only because Li Tai hates Confucianism, but more importantly, Li Tai is a little too indifferent to etiquette and law.
Fang Xuanling and other ministers tried hard to persuade him, but Li Tai stood there like a pine tree and did nothing, which was somewhat out of place with the whole atmosphere.
For the people who are already accustomed to saving, it is worth their bet on three to five years of hard work to make their children stand out and even achieve class leap.
Now I am laying grass in the southern suburbs and kneeling, eating only one vegetarian meal a day, apologizing to God, so that he can spare his life.”
I wonder if you can find a way to spare his life!"
When he served for corruption, would other members of his family be punished?
Finally, through the joint efforts of the entire tribe, three tribes, and even nine tribes, the sin was redeemed completely.
However, Li Tai really doesn't care, because Li Tai's main purpose is to enrich the population in the border areas.
And this matter has fallen to some extent. At least it is said that the King of Wei is like a saint, and he has a bit of kindness in Chang'an City.
"If someone in the family had already broken off contact with their family, what if he was implicated by this matter!" Sun Fujia asked again.
"Ahem! What about Taishan Fengshan? This kind of thing is talking nonsense!" Li Shimin coughed a few times, but he was somewhat interested in Li Tai's proposal. It didn't sound very bad.
"Will an old man in this family die first during his service?" Sun Fujia followed Li Tai with some curiosity.
Li Shimin heard that Li Tai had come up with such a solution, at least he could spare Dang Renhong and severely punish Dang Renhong. He said happily, "In this case, I know that I have three crimes, one is
If you know others, you don’t understand them. Secondly, you use private means to mess with the law, and thirdly, you hate evil people but don’t punish them.
Li Tai couldn't help but walk out when he heard this, saluted Li Shimin and said:
"Aye, I remember that earlier this year, you were not a person who had been relocated to death in Shixizhou, but who committed abductions and were punished by the law, and each had a period of severity of the crime.
As the Minister of Works, Li Tai is naturally among them. Seeing the court officials facing Li Shimin's shamelessness, he couldn't help but feel funny.
But when a child becomes an adult, he still needs to serve for the entire family to escape from crime.
Because these students last about three to five years, after they come out, the government will arrange their work directly according to their studies and then start eating imperial grain directly.
"Then let's change the algorithm!" Li Tai said calmly, "He should have three tribes of father, three tribes of mother, and three tribes of wife!"
When they find that the meager savings they earn from their work facing the loess and backs to the sky, and the children they support are not as good as they do, then whether they or these children will wonder what the meaning of their efforts is
What.
When the ministers saw this scene, they all had a headache. The emperor was shameless, which made it difficult for the court officials to deal with!
Even a piece of toilet paper has something to use, let alone a living person.
At this moment, Dang Renhong was reported because he embezzled more than one million yuan, and he should be executed according to his crime.
What I appreciate most is Li Tai's steadiness. Although many projects are spoken from Li Tai's mouth, it is more or less surprising.
I believe you know more than me about how to investigate the case. I just asked if his sins are unforgivable, can he further quantify the sins he committed and then add them to his entire clan.
Then, after all, will their family be able to recover their freedom soon?"
Hearing this, the faces of the people present changed. Sun Fujia said even more seriously, "King of Wei, Dang Renhong is only corrupt and abused the law. Although the circumstances are serious, it is not as bad as it is. What do you want to do
!”
Now Sun Fujia's opinion is that King Wei may not care about the law, but he just doesn't like the etiquette advocated by Confucianism.
The most important thing is that when corruption affects not only oneself, but one's entire family.
Of course, such savings are willing to be made to most good families.
In this case, his crime of embezzlement naturally needs to be implicated in his family.
If Li Tai takes the opportunity to launch a steam engine and even fails to find a job, at least one generation will have very negative thoughts about this society.
After all, this era is not modern, and it emphasizes personal human rights. On the contrary, this era emphasizes the whole family prospering and losing.
After all, if a person is enlightened, he will be able to ascend to heaven, but he will not be able to finish his eggs when he is overthrown. It is impossible to please the Party governor when he is proud, and there is no risk when he is frustrated!
As for the specific sentencing, investigation, and judgment of right and wrong, to be honest, I really don’t understand.
If it is too severe, relatives will join forces to protect them, and there will probably be fewer reports in the future.
But Li Shimin is a man who values his own feelings, so he asked the minister:
It is obvious that Li Shimin is shameless in order to protect Dang Renhong.
In other words, according to your algorithm of King Wei, he will be exiled for about 20,000 years!" Sun Fujia from Dali Temple came out and said
And who is bragging about this matter? Naturally, it is the liberal arts tabloid under Li Tai. Do you still expect Confucianism to brag for yourself?
It's very similar to a second-year student who made some unreasonable requests to his parents, but his parents refused to agree. Then the second-year student who hurts himself and makes his parents feel heartbroken (I did it really do it when I was a child, and then I was beaten by my parents, what do I know
It's called it really hurt, and I never dare to do it again)
"Aye, although this matter is easy to say, it is necessary to do it. I am afraid that it will take hard work for the Dali Temple Minister."
After all, the world is so big, nothing is the best.
Now Qingque has come up with this solution, one is to have my own selfishness, two is to strictly punish, and three is to warn those who embezzle in the future. If corruption is bound to implicate the entire clan, you need to think carefully!”
Ma Zhou couldn't help but say to Li Tai, "King of Wei, come and persuade Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is really like this, the majesty of the Tang court will be ruined."
Even so, for a good child, he or she has to save at least about half a year for his or her children.
"I saw the document from Dali Temple yesterday that I wanted to kill Dang Renhong. I felt sad for him to die after he was old, and he withdrew after half of his meal.
Therefore, the Dali Temple Minister needs to think carefully about how to sentence and punish.
I adhere to the law to increase the cost of target violations, but this cost cannot make the other party break the law without any scruples!"
"King of Wei, we know that you have good intentions, but the law cannot be enforced like this. After all, he may not even have ten years of life."
Although Ma Zhou was trained by Du Ruhui for many years, he did not change his habit of liking wine and food. He even heard that he had a yard with beautiful girls hidden in it. If anyone among the court officials had no majesty, he would be the only one.
.
For Li Tai, the population of China is really hard-won. Now there is not even 20 million, so don’t kill people at any time.
"If there are children, the children will also be counted as the service time of the entire family, but the court can take certain care of the children.
It is naturally impossible to let a person bear it for 20,000 years, but it is not too much to let his family get one.
When Li Shimin heard Li Tai's words, he couldn't help but feel conscious and looked at Sun Fujia.
Generally, there are thousands of people in nine tribes in a family. Each person will be divided into more than ten years, and it will be finished soon.
This not only solves the internal land annexation problem, but also solves the problem of filling the frontier population.
It’s not that the people cannot look at the long term, but that they can only plan for the long term within their own abilities.
And even more desperate, Dang Renhong was that he could not die yet, because if he died, his punishment would be directly added to the date of serving his current son and grandson.
Sun Fujia did not follow the egalitarianism of Li Tai, but arranged different degrees of punishment according to whether he had enjoyed the favors of Dang Renhong and his relationship with Dang Renhong.
Although what Li Tai said was a special pardon, it was necessary to pardon those who needed to be executed and give them the opportunity to exempt them from the death penalty.
But Sun Fujia felt that since there were examples of this model, the latecomers would definitely use it, so he found a way to complete the punishment.
