Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 208 Re-editing "Da Ming Law Collection"

The meeting continues.

"The second issue is the revision of the punishment for the ten heinous crimes."

"The Ten Evils: Conspiracy.

Destroy the ancestral temple and official towers.

Treason or humiliator.

Beating and killing elders and relatives.

Slaughter people all over the family or raise Gu to poison.

Stealing things that were worshiped by gods or the royal family.

Unfilial.

Murder or trafficking in marijuana.

People kill officials, officials kill officials, apprentices kill teachers.

Adultery father and concubine room. "

"The above is a ten heinous crime, if you encounter it, you will kill it regardless of the master and slave, so it is partially revised.

Those who destroy ancestral temples and official palaces will be sentenced to death for the main offender, and exiled to the frontier for the accomplices or 30 to [-] years of corvee labor.

Those who commit treason will be killed, and those who keep their family members secret will be exiled or corvee.

Beating or hiring a murderer to beat and kill elders and relatives, regardless of the master or servant, will be executed.

Whoever butchers a whole family of people or breeds poisonous Gu, the principal offender shall be punished by Ling Chi, and the accessory offender shall be punished by beheading.

Whoever steals the things worshiped by the gods shall be sentenced to corvée;
Whoever steals the royal family's public servants will be sentenced to death regardless of master and slave.

Those who are unfilial, who insult elders and relatives, will be exiled or corvee.

For the murderer, the principal offender shall be executed, and the accomplice shall be sentenced to exile or corvée.

Those who sell hemp are subject to corvee labor.

People kill officials, officials kill officials, apprentices kill teachers, the principal offender is put to death, and the accomplices are sentenced to exile or corvée.

Whoever commits adultery with his father's concubine will be exiled for the man, and sentenced to corvée for the woman. "

After Shao Zhi finished speaking this time, no one was in a hurry to vote, but some terms were discussed.

For example, the abolition of the death penalty for stealing sacred objects and only serving corvee is not too light?

"Is there a god in the world?"

Chen Yunfu answered: "Back then, the crown prince was just like His Majesty speaking, saying that the Ministry of Rites reported auspiciousness every day, which caused the local government to follow suit. Officials didn't think about business, they only thought about compiling auspiciousness and sending umbrellas to all people, and the world would be peaceful. Your Majesty agreed at that time. Stop reporting local auspiciousness.

There are no gods in this world, and there is no auspiciousness. The good days are made by His Majesty leading us to do it with our own hands, not given by anyone. Therefore, the crime of stealing the sacred objects is not the sacred objects, but the theft. "

Dali Temple Minister Zou Jun pondered for a while.

"This old man has been working in Dali Temple for 20 years, and I really feel that this style is too strict, but regardless of the laws of the Tang Dynasty or the laws of the Song Dynasty, we all respect the gods."

"So they all perished."

Now Zou Jun couldn't and didn't dare to answer, and moved on to the next thing.

"The one who is not filial, who insults elders and parents, can be said to be inferior to livestock. Knowing the allusions of crows feeding back and lambs kneeling, what is the use of unfilial people?"

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Not to mention killing, even beating an elder is a heinous crime. Should the death penalty be imposed?"

Chen Yunfu and Zou Jun started a debate: "Suppose, in a family, the father is abusive to alcohol and abuses the mother, and the son protects the mother and beats the father. Is this filial piety or unfilial piety?"

Zou Jun opened his mouth: "Even if you protect your mother, you don't need to insult or beat your own father."

"What Zou Siqing means is that although he can't stand by and watch, he can only accompany his mother to suffer the violence, right?"

"Then if his mother was overwhelmed by the violence and was beaten to death, but as a son of man, he saw his mother being beaten to death with his own eyes and did not fight back. Is it filial piety or unfilial piety?"

Zou Jun was speechless, but still insisted on the last.

"My great Ming ruled the country with filial piety."

Facing the big hat thrown by Zou Jun, Chen Yunfu frowned.

The difficulty lies in this.

The filial piety of the Ming Dynasty to establish the country has reached the point of foolish filial piety.

And it's outrageous.

There is a typical case.

In the 27th year of Hongwu, there was a man named Jiang Boer in Qingzhou, Shandong. His mother was sick and his family was poor. Yan Ru's mother healed up and killed her son to sacrifice to the gods. As a result, her mother recovered soon after she went down the mountain. Jiang Bo'er took the child to Daiyue Temple and splashed blood on the temple hall to make a wish.

What was the result of the subsequent punishment.

He was exiled to Hainan with a battle of one hundred, but the Ministry of Rites even erected a monument of filial piety in his hometown to show that this filial piety will be practiced in the world!
Abnormal human ethics and morality that are difficult for future generations to understand.

Do you still remember the case of Luo Sanhu killing an official in Henan?

They died, but the crime of death was just as Chen Yunfu said, not killing officials but opening official warehouses to release official food privately.

At that time, Chen Yunfu said that they are confused here.

Otherwise, according to Lao Zhu's three views, except for Luo Sanhu, the main criminal, everyone else would be exiled.

Now Zou Jun is also fighting with this principle of founding a country, and Chen Yunfu has no choice but to retire temporarily.

Don't say that Lao Zhu has no Zen position, even if Lao Zhu has a Zen position, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang lives for a day, Zhu Yuanzhang has the final say in the Ming Dynasty.

In this regard, everyone is like a bright mirror.

Building the country with filial piety is the red line of the national law, which must not be touched.

Chen Yunfu made concessions on this point, Zou Jun also knew the current affairs and did not make progress, and all other provisions were passed.

Shao Zhi glanced at Chen Yunfu, and the father and father met each other's eyes, and then continued with the following topic.

The "Law of the Ming Dynasty" is very long, and there are many clauses, and there have been many discussions on revisions.

The joint meeting of the three legal departments lasted for half a month before finally finalizing the draft, and Chen Yunfu took it to Zhu Biao for review.

"Oh, so many."

Looking at the newly-ordered "Preface and Bylaws of the Daming Law Collection" filled with more than a dozen memorials in front of him, Zhu Biao raised his head and stared at Chen Yunfu with astonished eyes.

"Are you rewriting the entire "Law of the Ming Dynasty"?"

"I can't say all of them, maybe [-]%."

Chen Yunfu handed over a sentence: "Except for serious crimes such as treason and those related to filial piety, everything else has been revised."

Zhu Biao nodded without saying anything, and read item by item.

The content is very long, and it is impossible for Zhu Biao to finish it in a short while. Naturally, Chen Yunfu will not rush, sitting under the imperial steps and drinking tea, but his thoughts fly far away.

What happened to Zou Jun today woke him up.

That is, regardless of whether the old Zhu Chan is in the Zen position or not, whether he is the emperor or not, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang lives one day, the Ming Dynasty will still be Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt about it.

In other words, I have to continue to hibernate.

All he can do now is to do his job well as Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, reform the Ming Dynasty, and implement the New Deal?

Can only think about it.

Not only national laws, but also many ancestral laws established by Zhu Yuanzhang in the Great Ming Precepts, which are minefields that cannot be touched.

And the so-called ancestral law is much more important than the national law.

To put it simply, the law of the ancestors is equal to the national constitution, which is the foundation of the national system, national policies, national laws, and national political power.

If you don’t move the teachings of the Ming Dynasty, don’t think about reforming the Ming Dynasty.

Just a little bit.

You can't cut the iron crops of the vassal king at all.

You can't take away the legal immunity of the vassal king.

If it is really done according to the saying that the prince breaks the law and the common people are the same crime, Zhu Xi's behavior of killing others will be sentenced to Ling Chi torture!
But as a result, he was renamed King Chu and continued to get away with it.

"Wait another seven years, seven years later, I will only be 30 years old!"

"Those historical relics that should be cleared, enjoy your last carnival time."
