Wu Huaiyu took the lead in donating a hundred thousand dollars, and Yang Hongli, Li Hongjie, and others also donated money one after another. They all come from famous families, and now they are all at least Scarlet Robe Silverbait, so it is not a big deal to donate tens of thousands of dollars.
Li Shuang, a member of the Yongzhou Cangcao army, came to register, and then sent someone to the door to collect money, and then used the money to buy food and other condolence materials.
"Gong Yi Guo is really kind to the victims. He not only provides work-for-work relief measures, gives them work and food, but also helps them resettle outside the city. Now he has not forgotten them during the New Year. I will donate this donation."
It’s almost a year’s salary.”
The annual salary from the third rank is only 360 dan. If you get a good rating in the year-end assessment, you will get an additional quarter's salary reward, but if you do not do well in the assessment, your salary will be reduced.
At the current price of rice in Chang'an, one hundred qian can buy almost three bushels of rice, which is usually three shi. Wu Huaiyu's rice, which is worth a year in Yongzhou, even if it is added to one season, the price is less than 150 guan.
"It's only three seasons of Lumi, but I still have a monthly salary."
"The third-grade monthly salary plus miscellaneous expenses are only 6,000 yuan," Li Shuang said with a smile while recording.
"There are also jobs such as Zhitian, Yongye Hontian and Juetian Yongye,"
Li Shuang, also known as Qianyou, was Li Hongjie's nephew, Li Jing's cousin, and Li Weijie's son. He started his business as a Dianxiang official for Li Yuanji's Qi king when he was in Wude. Later, he served as Cangcao of Youwuhou, and as a censor in the palace. Now he has served for seven years.
Taste Yongzhou Cangcao.
Originally, Li Shuang was supposed to evade Li Hongjie when he was governing Yongzhou, but his appointment was approved by the emperor, so he could avoid evading it.
He was promoted to the seventh rank of Cangcao mainly because of his meritorious service in remonstrating. Previously, someone reported Pei Rengui, the private servant of the county magistrate, and Li Shimin insisted on killing him when he found out. Li Shuang, the imperial censor in the palace, came to the palace to remonstrate.
Fundamental crimes under the law should not be punished. The laws of the state are shared by the whole world and are not unique to Your Majesty.
After some persuasion, Li Shimin exonerated Pei Rengui and gave Li Shuang a reward of fifty bolts of silk.
After the murder of Lu Zushang, Li Shimin remembered Li Shuang again. He almost killed Pei Rengui, so he issued an order to promote Li Shuang, the imperial censor of the eighth rank, to Yongzhou Cangcao, the seventh rank, to join the army, and he was promoted to the fourth rank in a row.
class.
"The victims of the disaster are also His Majesty's people, and they left their hometowns to come to His Majesty in the year of the disaster. During this New Year, we must let everyone feel His Majesty's warmth."
Li Hongjie also donated ninety guan of money, which could not outweigh Shangguan.
The two county magistrates each donated eighty guan.
Li Shuang wrote himself fifty strings.
Anyway, he is not short of money. His grandfather served as the governor of Yongzhou, and his father served as the magistrate of Luoyang County in the Sui Dynasty, and is now the fourth-rank Sanqi Shilang.
"Sanniang came to visit my house yesterday. She has lost a lot of weight and seems to be ill. When Yi Guogong is free, I wonder if I can go and see her for medical treatment?" he said to Huaiyu in a low voice.
"I met Brother Dejiao this morning, but I didn't hear him talk about it."
"The German Prize has been very busy recently, so I probably didn't notice it."
"Okay then, I'll go sit at the teacher's house after the office is over and let Sanniang have a look."
Although Wu Huaiyu has always been firm towards Li Sanniang, he also feels that he owes her a bit. Although he has never flirted with her or given any wrong signals, Li Sanniang has different ideas. This can only be said to be a misunderstanding, but
As a result, he is also responsible.
Li Sanniang was also the apple of the Li family's eye, but now she has become a monk.
Even if she became a Taoist nun, she was not truly reborn, but after all, Li Sanniang's life was ruined and she would never marry again in the future.
There are some rumors in Chang'an now.
It is said that Li Sanniang was actually a fake monk, using the excuse of becoming a monk to gain freedom, and now secretly she and Wu Huaiyu are double monks.
There are still many people who believe this rumor.
Everyone likes to hear this, and they even look forward to this result. After all, Li Sanniang is a famous daughter, with such good conditions, a good person, and even a very dashing woman who can ride a horse and shoot well. They don't want to see her become a monk like this.
Already.
It wouldn't be bad if he and Wu Huaiyu became a Taoist couple in the name of becoming a monk. Although they have no status, at least they are together, so they are not living up to it.
Of course, Wu Huaiyu couldn't explain this kind of thing even if he knew about it. He couldn't publish a statement in the Beijing News, or even say I'll sue you if you spread rumors again, right?
This kind of thing will get messier and darker the more you explain it, and the more you explain it, the more heated it will be and everyone will be more excited, so the best way is to treat it coldly.
With Li Shuang's behavior, I guess this guy also wants Wu Huaiyu and Li Sanniang to practice together in the melon-eating CP party.
Wu Huaiyu is actually quite busy.
Yongzhou Biejia, the governor of the Gyeonggi Province, is not only a local official who combines Gyeonggi administration and justice, but also a central official with the status of a court official. He is the most special one among all state-level officials.
In particular, the Yongzhou Yamen has strong judicial power. In other places, there are three levels of judicial trial procedures: county, state, and Dali Temple. Only in Gyeonggi Province, there are two levels: county and Yongzhou. Yongzhou has the power of final adjudication, execution of judgments, etc.
For example, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the world was not at peace, Chang'an was not stable, there were many thieves, the price of food was extremely high, and there were many people who made private coins. Yongzhou did not catch thieves, captured private thieves, and severely punished them after they were caught, and tried them directly.
In just over a month after the execution, more than 800 thieves were killed by the Yongzhou Yamen's staff, and more than 800 people were illegally cast.
Falling into the hands of the Yongzhou Yamen is actually a very terrible thing. Even if you commit a capital crime in other states, the local government does not have the power to directly execute you. You have to report it to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment for review. Even if you are confirmed guilty of the death penalty, you will still be charged.
The prisoner must be taken to the capital, where he will be interrogated and beheaded.
But now Li Shimin has just made new rules, so the death penalty charge must be reviewed not only by the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment, but also by the prime minister and officials from the three provinces. After the death penalty is finally determined, it must be reviewed again and again before execution, and Li Shimin has approved the execution three times.
Just fine.
But if you commit a serious crime and fall into the hands of the Yongzhou Yamen, they can directly interrogate, convict, and then execute you. Of course, in theory, if it is the death penalty, you still have to follow the new regulations. The prime minister will make a review in three provinces, and then the emperor will report it three times.
.
But the problem is that sometimes, there is no need to impose a death penalty at all. Just a flogging can kill people with a stick. Therefore, Yongzhou Yamen has a tradition of beating many people to death in a year. When it comes to important criminal laws in troubled times, a person can be beaten to death with a stick.
It's not unusual to kill thousands of people, just like someone who killed more than 800 people with a stick in a month.
Of course, some of the most heinous crimes would be convicted, and then they would be ordered to be killed with a stick, or the emperor would sometimes directly hand the prisoner over to the Yongzhou Prefecture, with an explicit order to pay Yongzhou a heavy stick to kill him, or hand him over to Yongzhou to be killed with a stick, etc.
Therefore, Yongzhou Biejia, on the ground of 108 squares in Chang'an, is the living King of Hell. There is no one who is not afraid of him. Even the nobles and dignitaries of Chang'an generally do not dare to provoke anyone who can be awarded the position of Yongzhou Biejia by the emperor.
They are usually very aggressive, otherwise they would not be able to dominate the capital.
After explaining the matter at Yongzhou Yamen, Wu Huaiyu went to the imperial city.
He was not only responsible for local administrative and judicial duties in Yongzhou, but also participated in judicial matters related to the court, such as discussing laws and regulations with the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai, and the prime ministers and ministers.
Law.
After the Lu Zushang incident, many officials in the imperial court wanted to make their breathing laws more lenient. Li Shimin also intended to make some changes to the Wu De Law and formulate the Zhenguan Law. This matter is quite important. Wu Huaiyu, the Yongzhou Biejia, and the Chief Justice of Gyeonggi Province, of course had to be
participate.
Nothing is simple when it comes to the law.
Ministers would argue endlessly about each item, and it was very professional. Wu Huaiyu had a headache every time he went to attend a meeting.
However, Wu Huaiyu still put forward a lot of useful judicial suggestions, and many of them were even directly adopted by Li Shimin. Now the emperor has asked his uncle, Changsun Wuji, to lead the Zhenguan Law Revision Committee. Changsun Wuji has no other responsibilities anyway.
Very dedicated.
Wu Huaiyu's time was limited, so he would sit there every day, make a few suggestions, and then leave.
Generally speaking, Zhenguan Law is similar to Wude Law. It still follows the Daye Law of Kaihuang Law in Sui Dynasty. The legal form is mainly embodied in four types: law, order, pattern and style. Law is the code about conviction and sentencing; order is the system of all aspects of government and opposition.
of the Codex.
Ge is the compiled imperial edict, which is a compilation of laws and regulations, while Shi is the detailed rules and official document procedures used by the imperial government.
Anyway, all aspects of the Tang Dynasty were regulated and constrained by these legal order formats.
The law involves criminal, civil, and economic aspects. Once a crime is committed, it must also determine punishment. Today, the main discussion is still on crime and punishment. Some crimes and penalties must be abolished. The main core idea is to make the law lenient and simple, and not to make it too complicated.
Too complex.
Wu Huaiyu was very supportive of some of the laws of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. For example, he fully supported the crime of adultery. Of course, he felt that the previous two sentences of castration for men guilty of adultery and death for women were a bit harsh. This is not about treating illnesses and saving lives.
, this is like beating a chicken to an egg and killing them all.
He suggested that if there were no other crimes, the penalty should be reduced slightly and changed to exile. The men would be sent to the border and the women would also be sent to the border.
Exile in this era was actually very serious. People who were exiled often had little chance of coming back alive. Especially when men were exiled, they were often sent to the army to serve as guards to guard beacons or something like that. This was very difficult and difficult to get over. However, for women who were exiled,
On the surface, they were sent to the military camps on the frontier to do laundry, tailoring and other tasks, but in fact they were often reduced to camp tricks.
Of course, it doesn't deserve sympathy either.
The penalty for a female adulterer who has a husband is doubled.
Wu Huaiyu specifically asked to add a suggestion, which allowed me to catch an adulterer and take revenge on the spot. The adulterer and the adulterer could be executed directly without guilt. Of course, the premise of this article was that if my husband caught an adulterer, he would be executed on the spot. It would not work if someone else caught the adulterer. It would also be a crime to execute him afterwards.
However, Wu Huaiyu opposed clan lynching, stripping adulterers with a cane, stripping them for parades, and even directly immersing them in pig cages.
Lynching is not advisable. It is an infringement of state power. Adultery must be dealt with, but it must be dealt with by the public authority of the court. This can also avoid some unjust, false and wrong cases.
Before the Tang Dynasty, there was no crime of rape. The crime of rape was also included in the crime of adultery, but the crime was increased one level. Wu Huaiyu suggested directly adding the crime of rape, and increasing the punishment, directly imposing the death penalty, and killing the woman if she resisted.
The criminal will not be punished.
Wu Huaiyu also specifically put forward strict suggestions on the abduction and trafficking of women and children. The laws of the Sui Dynasty did not impose severe penalties on human trafficking. This is also because human trafficking has been common since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
He advocated the restoration of the laws in this regard from the Qin and Han Dynasties. The Qin Dynasty stipulated that human trafficking, regardless of the principal or accomplice, would be punished by death.
In the Han Dynasty, it was stipulated that if a trafficker was caught, not only would he be executed, but the body would also be dismembered and the body would not be collected. The buyer would also be punished. The trafficker would be executed, while the buyer would be sentenced to tattoos, and both men and women would have to do hard labor.
.
Huaiyu suggested that those who plunder and sell people into slavery should be hanged for the first offender and exiled for three thousand miles for the accomplices. Buyers who purchase people who have been trafficked should also be punished, and the sentences will be reduced by one level compared to those for human traffickers.
For parents, grandparents who sell their children or grandchildren, the crime will be increased.
All women and children who have been robbed and sold must be protected and restored to their original status as good people.
Wu Huaiyu even added that if the government turns a blind eye to the crime of human trafficking, it would be a crime of dereliction of duty and should be severely punished.
The behavior of thieves and traffickers is also regarded as an accessory to human trafficking, and they will be exiled for three thousand miles.
The Tang Dynasty was considered a slave society, and one-third of the population in Chang'an was a slave. However, when Wu Huaiyu mentioned combating human trafficking, he specifically referred to illegal human trafficking, and those who committed crimes, such as war prisoners, were demoted by the court.
People who were slaves or children of slaves could be bought and sold in the horse market through formal channels.
What we are cracking down on is illegal trafficking, which is also known as looting.
Selling oneself into slavery falls into a gray area, where people do not take action against officials.
"Erlang, come quickly."
As soon as Wu Huaiyu came in today, Changsun Wuji waved to him.
In the room, a group of officials from the Central Judiciary of the Tang Dynasty were arguing with faces red in the face.
"What are you arguing about today?"
"Kindly hide each other." Changsun Wuweiji said.
Hiding relatives from each other was first proposed by Confucianism during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In order to maintain patriarchal ethics, one should protect, conceal, and not report relatives.
This rule has actually been continued.
Relatives who are guilty should conceal each other's guilt. Those who do not report or testify will not be guilty, but those who do not will be charged.
What is being debated now is actually the detailed explanation of this article. For example, which relatives are involved in concealing relatives? Secondly, for serious crimes such as treason, treason, and treason, does the article concealing relatives apply?
Some people think that the concealment of relatives should be limited to true blood relatives within three generations, including grandparents, maternal grandparents, parents, and brothers and sisters. Other uncles, cousins, etc. should not be counted. Others think that family uncles, cousins, etc. who live together are not included.
To calculate.
Some even think that the scope should be expanded to include the five family servers.
Some people say that for serious crimes, relatives have the responsibility to report them. After reporting, the sentence can be reduced or the crime can be ignored. However, others say that even if it is a serious crime, the relatives must hide it from each other and cannot judge the crime.
On the contrary, the relatives who report the crime must be punished according to the crime.
However, some crimes against each other between relatives are not suitable for hiding from each other.
Wu Huaiyu was not surprised when he heard this. In fact, it was the same as sitting together with relatives. In ancient times, it was very emphasized that the blood of the clan is one.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
"What's Erlang's opinion?" Changsun Wuji asked him. Many of Wu Huaiyu's recent suggestions for revising the law were very good, and Changsun Wuji was very willing to listen to his opinions.
"My personal preference is that for general crimes, hiding from relatives is applicable. If you don't report, you are not guilty, and if you don't testify, you are not guilty. However, if it is a felony, it should not be applied to hiding from relatives. The harm is greater, and concealment is not allowed, or it is limited to
The relationship between husband and wife, father and son can be hidden from each other.
Crimes between relatives, such as unfilial piety, abuse, abandonment, trafficking and violation, are not applicable to the concealment of relatives."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "I have the same idea. If someone commits a serious crime such as rebellion, it is not recommended that father and son should report each other. The husband and wife should maintain the family relationship and let others report."
"What do you think of Erlang's idea of brothers dying together?"
"It should be deleted directly!"
Since when a serious crime is committed, father and son, and husband and wife are not allowed to report each other, but are required to hide from each other, and the relationship between brothers is not included in the hiding of each other, then brothers should not be jointly punished for crimes, but at most husband and wife, father and son can be jointly punished.
