Chapter 1896: What is the law? Punishing past mistakes to avoid future ones
In the military disciplines of past dynasties, the punishment for deserters was extremely harsh.
Qin's laws were the most stringent. The smallest unit of the Qin Dynasty's army was the "corps", which was composed of five soldiers. When training, a "corps" of soldiers were together, and the same was true on the battlefield. If one of them was
If a soldier deserts, the entire "corps" will sit together. If a soldier is found missing and the army reports the number of killed in action, his family will receive a state pension. But in the end it is discovered that he was not killed in action but a deserter, and his family will be miserable.
Slaves were rotated, and the whole family was beheaded in severe cases.
Although the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty was not as strict as that of the Qin Dynasty, it was still very strict. The crimes of desertion were even separated in detail. One was deserting during peacetime training, and the other was deserting during war. If it was deserting during training,
, the staff is eighty, if you have escaped for three days, one level will be added, and the maximum can be increased to three thousand miles. If you are a deserter during a war, then there is no reason to behead!
Moreover, this cannot be redeemed with money.
Once this woman's husband is determined to be a deserter, even if he can avoid death, he will inevitably be exiled for three thousand miles, and will never return to Guanzhong if he is promoted.
A perfectly good home suddenly fell into disrepair...
The woman was suddenly frightened and angry. Her face turned blood red and her lips were bitten. She was trembling and stared at Duan Er: "How can you be so shameless? Even if your Anguo government is powerful, can it still be powerful?
Do you follow the king's laws?"
"Wang Fa? Haha!"
Duan Er sneered: "My family has been the princess's retainer for generations, what does the king's law mean?"
Anguo Gongzhi lost his mind, and Princess Jiujiang, the daughter of Emperor Shang Gaozu, was herself the chief of the Turkic Zhichu tribe. After she surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, she was deeply trusted by His Majesty Li Er and made countless meritorious deeds. She was one of the best in the dynasty.
Honorable.
Now he is leading a large army to garrison in Xiazhou to resist Xue Yantuo. He has military power and a high position!
If a wealthy slave like this really wants to embarrass a commoner, it can be the result of crushing him...
In any era and in any legal system, there will always be a privileged class.
The equality of all living beings is just a distant ideal. Even Buddha had countless disciples and a strict hierarchy...
Several diners at that table spoke warmly and fell silent.
Duan Er's arrogance and domineering made them very dissatisfied!
People in the Tang Dynasty favored martial arts, and they did not have the same contempt for soldiers as in the Song and Ming Dynasties. The social status of soldiers was very high. Duan Er's unscrupulous frame-up of soldiers and soldiers who were disabled in battle is an extremely bad behavior and is even more embarrassing.
Disgraceful!
However, it was just contempt. It was impossible for them to provoke the high-ranking Duke Anguo for a small vendor they had never met. That was not something they could provoke at their level. Moreover, even if their own family was powerful, with their power,
What started this?
Several people finished their breakfast quickly. One of them took out his wallet, grabbed a handful of coins and put them on the table. He walked out the door with a few companions. When they got to the door, they probably couldn't stand it or couldn't bear it, so they stopped.
, turned around and said to the frightened and desperate woman: "Although your family is not a servant of the Fang family, this place is the Fang family's village after all. Maybe you can go and ask for help from the Fang family."
After saying this, he didn't even look at Duan Er's evil eyes, and was pulled away by his companions by the hem of his clothes.
When the woman heard the words, she immediately became energetic, but then she became depressed again...
Although this place is the village of the Fang family, their family is not servants of the Fang family. They are just making a living here. The Fang family would offend An Guo, a high-ranking and powerful man who was highly valued by the emperor, for a village woman like her.
Is it public?
What's more, Fang Erlang was far away in Japan, and Fang Xuanling went to the south of the Yangtze River after taking office. After returning to Guanzhong, he closed his doors and thanked guests and lived in seclusion. She was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to find anyone...
Boundless despair enveloped her instantly.
However, he gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that if the worst happened, he would die and his family would never be implicated...
Duan Er was very proud of himself, stood up and threw a few copper coins on the table, and said with a lewd smile: "If Madam is wise, she will wash herself up and come to my house. If we have to break up, I will prepare some for your whole family in advance."
For a good coffin, you need to find a good cemetery, haha. How about it, have you thought about it?"
He stood waiting for the woman's reply, confident.
He didn't know how many of these women from merchant houses he had gained. As long as he showed his identity and applied a little pressure, no one would dare to resist to the end, and everything would be disadvantageous.
After all, who really has that ferocity and dares to fight to the death of his family?
The woman looked desperate, tears rolled down her face, and she fell to the ground in despair...
Jiang Guhu glanced at Duan Er who had already walked to the door, swallowed a mouthful of tofu bread, and said, "You just don't care?"
Although he is a descendant of the Jianggu family and can be called a "foreigner", he is deeply involved in the world and has been practicing all over the world since he was a child. He has long been used to bullying men and dominating women.
But getting used to it doesn't mean you can ignore it.
It's just because Fang Jun is here that he is too lazy to move. Otherwise, according to his behavior, it is absolutely impossible for Duan'er to see the sun tomorrow morning...
Fang Jun chewed his glutinous rice and said vaguely: "Why should I do something about such a trivial matter? Then ask someone to go to An Guo Gong's Mansion to submit a name card, and An Guo Gong's Mansion will handle it."
Although he is not very old, he has lived in two lifetimes, and now he is in a high position. He has different visions and realms, so his perspective on things is naturally different.
It seems that the pretentious and slap-in-the-face thing in the past is really getting boring.
Furthermore, in his eyes, people like Duan Er were worse than loaches in the ditch. Even if they were trampled to death, what fun would there be in them?
Extremely boring.
Of course, this matter must be managed.
Just kidding, this Lishan Farm is his Fang Jun's territory. This Duan Er is relying on the power of Duke Anguo to come here to show off his power. If he is allowed to succeed, where will he lose his face? If others follow his example in the future, his Fang Jun will
Are you still hanging out?
In the past two years, I have been running around under the orders of the emperor. It seems that these fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in Guanzhong have forgotten Fang Erbangchui's violent temper...
Jiang Guhu said, "In my opinion, what is the meaning of the law?"
Fang Jun was startled: "Determining the outcome and ending the dispute, do you fear violence when you achieve success?"
This is the core idea of Legalism.
"Determining the share and stopping disputes" means clarifying the ownership of things. "If a rabbit goes away, a hundred people will chase it. Accumulate rabbits in the market and ignore them. Unless you don't want the rabbit, you can't fight for the share." This means that if a rabbit runs away, a hundred people will chase it.
Many people chased them, but they didn’t even look at the many rabbits in the market. It’s not that they don’t want the rabbits, but that the ownership has been determined and can no longer be fought for. Otherwise, it will be against the law and will be punished.
.
"Exerting meritorious service and fearing violence" means encouraging people to perform military exploits and making those lawless people feel fear. The ultimate goal of meritorious service is to enrich the country and strengthen the army.
Jiang Guhu shook his head and said: "How can it be so complicated? Five words, punish the past and ignore the future, that's all." Then he knocked on the porcelain bowl in front of him, and showed a handsome look to the woman who was in despair and lost her soul.
The ultimate smile: "Trouble, please add another bowl."
The woman was almost worried to death. She was wondering whether she should find a secluded place and die altogether, so as not to involve her husband and his family. How could she still be in the mood to do business?
Kneeling on the ground, wiping tears, he sobbed and said: "My family is about to be ruined. How can I have the time to serve two guests? You two have also seen it, so you can just go by yourself. I don't need to pay for this meal."
…”
Jiang Guhu's smile became brighter and he said warmly: "There must be a road for cars to reach the mountain, and it will be straight for boats to the bridge. Why are you so frustrated?" He pointed at Fang Jun and said with a smile: "Please be patient and show you a clear path.
, as long as you serve the person in front of you, the so-called Anguo Duke's Mansion, it's just a floating cloud."
The woman was stunned.
Although she has never studied, she has been running a small business all year round, and her brain is definitely not slow. When she heard this, she knew that she had met a noble person!
What else is there to hesitate about?
This is like a thigh falling from the sky. You must hold on tightly and never let go!
The woman got up from the ground with a grunt, took two steps forward, knelt directly next to Fang Jun, hugged one of Fang Jun's legs tightly, and cried loudly.
"My noble man, please help the slave family... The slave family abides by the law. The husband of the family even fought for the country and became disabled. Now he is being bullied by evil people. Please do good and save the slave family. The slave family will be a family."
Hold the ring in the grass, make cows and horses, and never forget your great kindness!"
Jiang Guhu smiled and secretly raised his thumb at the woman.
Eye-catching and eloquent, not bad!
Duan Er on the side looked at Jiang Guhu and then at Fang Jun, feeling shocked and confused.
He was transferred from the Jiujiang princess's fiefdom to the Duke's palace in Chang'an just this year. He didn't know much about the powerful people in Chang'an, and he couldn't figure out for a while which powerful family these two people were descendants of?
