Chapter 271 Find the answer from the history books


Li Er once said that history can be used as a mirror to know the rise and fall, Li Lu found history books after the Yueshi Provincial Nest case, and began to study the anti-corruption measures of his predecessors, after reading a few history books, Li Lu came to a conclusion that moral self-restraint is not omnipotent.It is very difficult for people to surpass themselves.The key lies in whether there is a truly independent, effective and persistent monitoring mechanism, as well as an atmosphere of integrity, which is an effective way to resist temptation.In the hotbed of corruption, a little carelessness can turn the cowardly into a daredevil, and the greed for money destroys him, first of all driving him crazy.How rare are such examples in history?"

Brother Azhan, give it, this is the Mengding tea I just brewed, drink two sips to refresh your ......"

Seeing that her man got into the pile of history books and didn't come out, Princess Changle was very distressed, and she handed it to Li Lu with a cup of tea."

Oh, let's leave it here......"

Li Lu said as he took notes with a quill pen and wrote down his thoughts."

Brother, how do you look at the history books??"

Princess Changle was a little curious, knowing that after she married him, she had never seen her man like history books like this, so strange."

I have learned from the anti-corruption measures of my predecessors to improve our anti-corruption ......work," Li Lutou said without raising his head, "There have been many anti-corruption measures in all dynasties, but why can't they jump out of the circle of strict laws and lax law enforcement?"

”Li Lu looked as if he was talking to himself."

Brother, I think you can learn from my Aya and humiliate these corrupt officials well, so that the corrupt officials are really ashamed in their hearts, and feel that they are inferior to ..... beasts."

Princess Changle sat down and said to Li Lu, in the UK, there is no such thing as harem chaos, and Princess Changle can participate in politics and politics in a righteous and bright manner."

Oh?

Tell me an example, how do you humiliate them?

Make them feel ashamed?

”Li Lu raised his head at this time and said with a smile."

Brother, let me tell you a story, it was still in the sixth year of Zhenguan, the right guard general is called Chen Wanfu, he went to the capital Chang'an from Jiucheng Palace, all the way is a big show, when passing through a post station, he took away several bags of wheat bran from the post station....... and then this matter was known by my Aye, Aya not only did not punish, but rewarded Chen Wanfu with a lot of this wheat bran, but he ordered Chen Wanfu not to find people, not to find cars, must be carried home in public from my Aya step by step......

Princess Changle smiled and brought up a past.Li Lu had also heard of this past, but with the passage of time, he forgot, and now listening to Princess Changle talk about it, Li Lu was also very emotional, but he didn't think that Li Er's approach was worthy of his own imitation, "Lizhi, I have to admit that the first emperor's soft knife strategy is indeed very effective, but in our place, I don't plan to use this kind of method......"

"Oh?

Why is that?

”Princess Changle opened her beautiful Qiushui eyes, looked at Li Lu and said."

The reason is simple.....

Li Lu used a quill pen to write the four characters Chang'an and Broken Leaf on a piece of paper, and then wrote a Confucian under Chang'an, and below Broken Leaf was a French character, "You understand, right?"

That Chen Wanfu, the first emperor didn't want to punish him, but because he had a close relationship with Chen Shuda, the prime minister at the time, and was the wedge that Confucianism planted in the army, the first emperor wanted to really punish him, hmph, some people will intercede for this Chen Wanfu......

"Li Lu didn't say how his England was, but his words had already shown his distrust and hostility to Confucianism, Li Lu saw that his daughter-in-law seemed to understand something, so he smiled and continued, "After reading the legal part of these history books, I came to a conclusion, The main weapon in the fight against corruption can only be the law, and we must ensure that there are laws to follow and laws must be followed.This seems to be a cliché, but in fact it is a condensation of the lessons of the success and failure of generations of dynasties. ”This is not Li Lu's nonsense, starting from the famous "Qin Law", it has inherited the achievements of the rule of law culture in the Warring States period, and has stipulated in detail the laws and regulations for officials with the punishment of dereliction of duty and corruption as the main content, and clearly stipulates the punishment standard characterized by "heavy punishment for minor crimes" for the illegal acts of officials at all levels, which has a strong deterrent effect on corrupt officials and corrupt officials.After that, the Han law basically inherited the spirit of the "Qin Law", and increased the punishment of corrupt officials; This was the case in the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty.In addition, the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty also had special supervision laws and regulations such as the "Six Articles of the History of Assassination" and the "Three Mutual Laws", which set out punishment methods for various types of bribery, and indeed there was a law to follow.Emperors such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty basically followed the law, neither using nobles or officials to offset crimes, nor abolishing the law because of merit, thus ensuring the authority of the law in the field of anti-corruption.But more often, the law has been destroyed by the emperor, nobles, favored ministers, especially after the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the Confucian theory of emphasizing the rule of man was introduced into the law of the Han Dynasty, and there were the so-called "eight discussions", that is, the discussion of relatives, the discussion of the reason, the discussion of the virtuous, the discussion of ability, the discussion of merit, the discussion of nobles, the discussion of diligence, the discussion of guests, etc., the result is impunity or different punishment for the same crime, which seriously weakens the fairness and authority of the law, and opens the door for corrupt officials to escape punishment in various names, thereby accelerating the spread of corruption in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty.Confucianism's destruction of the rule of law can be seen in general, which is also one of the important reasons why Li Lu is very unpopular with Confucianism, Li Lu opened the "Book of Jin" that was almost ruined by him, found "The Legend of Yang Dan", and then asked Princess Changle, "Yang Dan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, you know, right?"

”"Giggles, brother, are you testing me?"

Princess Changle said with a smile, "I don't know yet, Yang Dan is very brutal, he is rude, he is arrogant, he is very arrogant, and he is suspicious, and he is tortured and killed."

Jian Liang and others from the suspected county were thieves, killing more than 200 people, punishing babies, and locking up more than 100 people......

"Princess Changle is worthy of being a talented woman who is familiar with history books, and she is familiar with the crimes of Yang Dan, Li Lu smiled and then asked, "But this brutal guy, but because of a bullshit eight-discussion system, because her grandmother is the queen and a relative of the emperor, she was exempted from the death penalty, how ridiculous?"

The feelings of the people he mutilated died in vain?

If this Yang Dan is my subordinate, see if I don't override him......"

"Eight discussion system, Chang'an's "Tang Law Shu Discussion" is also written in......"

Princess Changle read it, "Brother, what is important over there is not to punish the doctor, and the etiquette is not to be ...... to the people" "Lizhi, this is what I hate the most about the Central Plains etiquette law, after the eight types of powerful people in the eight deliberations commit crimes, major crimes must be discussed, minor crimes must be forgiven, and special preferential treatment is enjoyed, and the legal and political organs are not allowed to deal with it without permission, in the long run, where is there any fairness and justice at all?"

”Li Lu said here and stood up, "Over there in the Central Plains, I can't control it, and I don't want to take care of it, but in my territory, if anyone dares to raise anything with me, I will send whoever is guillotined first, because these people are either stupid or bad......"

Princess Changle looked at her man with a fascinated face, her favorite is Li Lu's heroism and domineering, just now when Li Lu was talking about fairness and justice, it happened that a beam of sunlight shone through the window on Li Lu's body, making Li Lu's image even taller, "This is my man, How handsome and dashing he is....."

Princess Changle's heart was about to get drunk.....

Li Lu checked the history books, mainly to see the Qin and Han dynasties, he thought that the Qin Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty were the classical rule of law era in China, which had the most reference value.Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism alone, the combination of the rule of law and the etiquette system in China has changed its taste.After reading through the history books, Li Lu found that one of the successful experiences of the Qin and Han dynasties in fighting corruption was the establishment of a complete system of supervision institutions from the central to the local level, which greatly helped to clarify the rule of officials.However, there are also problems with this system, that is, the separation of supervisory power from administrative power is not complete, and supervisory power is often constrained by administrative power.For example, the emperor is the head of state and the supreme inspector, but he is not subject to supervision and restraint.The county guards and county orders combine administrative and supervisory powers, and they themselves do not have supervision at the same level; The superintendent is not only a supervising officer, but also a subordinate of the county and county magistrate, and they must uphold the will of the chief executive when exercising the supervisory power, and inevitably subordinate the supervisory power to the executive power.Fundamentally speaking, it is impossible to prevent and stop corruption in the administration of officials by relying on this system.The rule of law during the Three Kingdoms of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties was very sparse, and Li Lu didn't bother to look at it, they were all laws and regulations that protected the interests of the big landlord class of the scholar clan, and they were not worth Li Lu's reference at all.Li Lu tossed for so many years, and finally cultivated a new interest group, that is, the bridging capitalist industrial and commercial owners and the new capitalist aristocracy that were matured in advance by Li Lu's plug-in, the original British legal system established by borrowing from the laws of the Qin and Han dynasties and the Sui and Tang dynasties has not been able to keep up with the level of development of the productive forces, and if the judicial institutions are not reformed and a new legal system is established, then it is very likely that there will be big problems.And the outbreak of the Yue's Provincial Nest case happened to be an opportunity, and Li Lu was ready to use this big case to set off a new wave of legal reform.Just when Li Lu was talking to Princess Changle about his feelings and thoughts on history, the old eunuch Gao Xing walked in, "Your Majesty, Mr.

Patrick asked the old slave to tell you that you want him to have a few Roman University scholars translate the Book of Roman Law and the Code of Justinian, and they have finished translating .........""

Okay, very good, I'm going to meet these people......"

Li Lu was very happy to hear that Patrick had finished translating these two important Western legal classics, this is the abuse of the civil law system in later generations, Li Lu wants to learn from it, and they all say that the stones of other mountains can attack jade, such a masterpiece of law, Li Lu naturally attaches great importance to it.
