Chapter 439 Those who insult heroes shall be punished
"Chen, I do not support the death penalty."

Gao Su's opinion of not supporting the death penalty was unexpected to Zhou Chang and Yang Jing, and it was also unexpected to Chen Yunfu.

After all, considering the feelings of the military and the people, this kind of insult to heroes is the most enjoyable way to kill.

Because of surprise, Chen Yunfu said something.

"Tell me why you don't support the death penalty."

Gao Su then explained: "Before I say the reason, I hope that the king and everyone will calm down first. What we are discussing now is not just the life and death of these few people, but tens of thousands or even more in the future. life and death of people.

In addition, before we decide to add a new criminal law clause and formulate a new law, we must not mix subjective emotions into it, otherwise, the law will not be good. "

"The behavior of these few people who insulted the heroes has indeed hurt the feelings of the country, the army and the people, but we should understand why they acted like this."

"Whether it is out of doubt or under the secret instructions of some conspirators, intending to confuse the thinking of our country and alienate the feelings of the military and civilians, if they speak lies just because of doubts, their behavior is nothing more than their own cognitive flaws And what comes with arrogance.

The superficial cognition makes these people believe that what they can't do, no one in the world can do, so they arrogantly put their own failures on the heroes.

Then it is nothing but a foolish crime, and should not be regarded as a sinister crime, and the death penalty is too heavy.

If it is the latter, attempting to confuse the thinking of the country and alienate the support of the army and the people is a heinous act of disrupting the country, and the conviction should not be the crime of insulting the heroes, but the crime of disrupting the country. One of the ten evils, killing is a matter of course. "

Gao Su talked eloquently: "Therefore, we still need to interrogate them to find out why their crimes were committed, whether it was because of stupidity or because of some shady and sinister intentions."

Chen Yunfu did not express his position, but looked at Shao and asked: "Yue Zhang, you have been in charge of the Sanju Department for many years, let me talk about your opinion."

The latter pondered for a moment, looked at Gao Su and said.

"What Gao Siqing said has some truth, but he has forgotten a crucial factor."

"That's education."

"Gao Siqing is a heir to poetry and calligraphy. He has been familiar with the laws of the past dynasties since he was a child. Since he became an official, he has been an official in the Trial and Criminal Division of Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Today he is ranked as the Minister of Dali Temple.

You have seen many cases and acquired a wide range of knowledge, so you have a deeper understanding and calm analysis of this case, but Chang Gong, what about ordinary people?

What you can understand, the common people cannot understand, and the education they have received is far inferior to yours. Because the common people's knowledge is shallow, they are deceived by these crazy rebels, and then They also questioned whether the deeds of the heroes are true.

Therefore, if we condone the outrageous words of this group of people, in the future there will be more similar lunatics openly questioning the heroes of the country in order to attract attention and grandstanding.

The enactment of any law, as you said, cannot be mixed with subjective emotions, but we also cannot ignore the objective environment.

If there is a time when people all over the country understand the law and start to reflect on whether the discretionary punishment in this law is appropriate, then it is the time for us to abandon the death penalty. "

After Shao Zhi said this, he looked at Chen Yunfu: "So, my opinion is that I support the death penalty."

"Since everyone has expressed their opinions one after another, let's just clarify this matter today. Shi Qi, if you don't express your opinion, you will speak on behalf of Gu, and then the five of you will vote."

Yang Shiqi didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to speak, so he smiled a little hesitantly: "Your Majesty's temporary order, the whole minister was caught off guard.

There is no way, to drive the ducks to the shelves, the minister just said a few superficial opinions. "

"I'm not from the Sanju Division, and I've never been an official in the Sanju Division. I don't know anything about the law, but I know when the law was born."

""Zhou Li-Autumn Palace-Si Kou" is the earliest written law in our country. At that time, Zhou Gongdan was ordered by Wu Wang Jifa to formulate all the country's systems, including laws.

At that time, the country had five laws.

They are wild punishment, military punishment, rural punishment, official punishment, and national punishment, corresponding to people in the wild, soldiers, people from six villages, officials and people in the capital.

When enacting laws, the Duke of Zhou had already put forward the core point of view of enacting and enforcing laws, that is, the enactment, interrogation, and sentencing of laws must be done with reason.

There is no need for laws without reason.

For example, we recognize from our hearts that people are born to be filial to their parents, so unfilial behavior is a crime.

This is our most simple emotion and cognition as a person to judge whether something is right or wrong is the value of the birth and existence of law.

Breaking away from this kind of emotion is the law of beasts.

3000 years ago, the Duke of Zhou had pointed out the direction for the enactment and enactment of the law. Over the past 3000 years, our descendants have also followed the same way. Therefore, our civilization can continue, have warmth, and be different from those who are suddenly and suddenly. dead aliens.

It is an unquestionable fact that the martyrs have sacrificed their lives for the strength and survival of our country. If even the heroes are insulted, it will greatly hurt the feelings of the country and the nation. How this law should be enacted needs more discussion. "

At the end of Yang Shiqi's words, he said earnestly: "The king once said that in the future, the national ideology will undergo rapid and iterative changes, and the laws will be changed accordingly, but that is a matter of the future. Our generation must do the right thing. , do what is reasonable.”

Everyone nodded, even Gao Su was thoughtful at the end.

"Okay, let's vote."

Chen Yunfu waited for Yang Shiqi to express his views and said, "It's enough for the five of you to vote. If you don't participate alone, those who support the death penalty can raise their hands."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Chang and Yang Jing raised their hands one after another, followed by Yang Shiqi and Shao Zhi.

Finally, Gao Su also raised his hand after careful consideration.

He did not stubbornly insist on his own opinion. As Yang Shiqi said, the law was formulated based on the most basic and simple emotional cognition of people from the very beginning.

The law can never be separated from the heart of reason, otherwise, the law will lose its temperature.

"No wonder Zhou Gongdan is known as the founder and pioneer of Chinese civilization. His achievements are by no means comparable to those of Confucius and Meng Sheng."

"Duke Zhou created a Chinese nation with feelings and warmth. We can't become cold-blooded in pursuit of so-called calmness. We must pay attention to the heart of reason."

So far, the three judiciary conferences have passed the legal provisions on the crime of insulting heroes and martyrs.

Those who insult the heroes, beheaded!
