Emperor Liu Hong

122 Public trial meeting

The people were also talking about the emperor's public trial of the rebels.Although the reform of the system has stipulated that the trial should be judged by jurors composed of ordinary people.But the common people did not expect that the emperor would dare to let the common people pronounce a sentence even for such a thing as rebellion.

Liu Hong attaches great importance to various discussions of the common people.He knew that the people of the Celestial Dynasty would not choose to go to court unless it was absolutely necessary.Therefore, those who sue are basically desperate people. If they are not handled properly, the social impact will be very bad.This is also his original intention of creating this trial system, not only to give justice to the people, but also to shirk responsibility if something goes wrong.

But Liu Hong knew that after the implementation of the new system, no one in the capital had filed a lawsuit yet.Although the new system has not been implemented for a long time is a big reason, but it also has a lot to do with the character of the people who are unwilling to deal with the government.

No one goes to court, and they don't know the benefits of the new system.So Liu Hong thought about taking advantage of this public trial meeting to spread judicial knowledge to the common people and let them understand the benefits of the new system.Let them know that if something happens, justice can be found through the judicial process.When people are used to finding justice through the law, the society will be extremely harmonious.

Because of this idea, Liu Hong called Liu Ju, Minister of Dali Temple, to discuss with him how to hold the public trial meeting.

Liu Ju is now considered to be proud of his spring breeze. Not only is he in charge of the country's judiciary, but he also holds the post of Zongzheng. He can definitely be regarded as the emperor's close minister.Now that he saw that Liu Hong attached so much importance to this public trial, he decided to take care of it.

Originally, Liu Ju was almost done with Liu Shu's guidance.The focus of everything is to ensure that those who rebel can be killed.Now Liu Hong has put forward a new request. As a courtier, he can only implement it wholeheartedly.

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the public trial.On this day, Liu Hong woke up early in the rare morning, and he wanted to see the fate of these rebels with his own eyes.

Because Liu Hong had ordered a long time ago, this public trial meeting was quite formal, and everything was carried out according to the formal trial ceremony, in order to let the people know about this new system.

This public trial meeting caused quite a stir.Early in the morning, people gathered from all directions, not only to watch the public trial, but also to express solidarity with the emperor.

The people of the Han Dynasty are the most grateful people in all dynasties, and they definitely repay the kindness of dripping water.They know who is good to them, so they also reciprocate, even if they say nothing, they have to make their own voices and express solidarity with their benefactors.

Seeing the turbulent people, Liu Hong was very happy, and now he finally realized that the people's hearts are available.Seeing the anger of these people, he knew that this public trial meeting would definitely not disappoint him.

In the beginning, this rebellion was only initiated by the Runan family, and the Yuan family took the lead.But later, Liu Hong used his tricks and pretended to be in a coma. Chaos broke out in the capital, and many other aristocratic families also joined the ranks of rebellion, wanting to fish in troubled waters.

Calculated in this way, there are hundreds of aristocratic families directly involved, and even more indirectly involved.Including those involved, the number of people who need to be judged is already over ten thousand.

The number of people exceeds [-], and there are no boundaries.With so many people, not to mention a one-time trial, it is not easy to find a place to accommodate them.So before the start, the people of Dali Temple divided these people according to their guilt, and tried them in turn.

According to the arrangement of Dali Temple, the public trial lasted for ten days, and the criminal responsibilities of the people on trial were carried out in order from light to serious.So what is being judged now is only the part with the least guilt.

Although these people are the least guilty, they have the largest number.The handling of them is also what the common people are most concerned about.This is also the most critical part of Liu Hong's imitation of Nanmen Limu.

The trial is about to begin, and everyone is making final preparations.One of its most important actions is the selection of jurors.

In order to show impartiality, jurors are selected on the spot.Most of the common people just watched the fun and didn't want to be a juror.But with so many people present, there were quite a few people who wanted to join in the excitement, so the first batch of jurors were easily divided among those who actively signed up.

Because of the reminder in advance, the jurors selected on the spot must be mainly ordinary people.Therefore, the people below saw that the selected people were all the same people as them.Even before the trial started, they felt that this trial was fairer.

After the judges and jurors were seated, those who were being tried were pushed up.

There are too many people who need a public trial this time. Even if the trial is divided into ten days, if they are tried one by one, the time will definitely not be enough.So in order to save time, dozens of people gathered together for these minor crimes to be tried together.

Seeing that the person to be judged was pressed up, there was a commotion at the scene, which made the people guarding the scene very worried.After all, the emperor came to the scene in person, and if something unexpected happened, it would be a big deal.

Contrary to the guards, Liu Hong was not worried at all.He knew that the site of the meeting was guarded by a heavy army.Most of the people at the scene were grateful to him, and there was no need to worry about safety issues, so Liu Hong watched the public trial there with great peace of mind.

The public trial conference was definitely a novelty in the Han Dynasty.Coupled with the fact that the outcome of the trial is decided by the jurors who are ordinary people, people are even more interested.

"Silence! Silence!" The judge stopped the noise of the people at the scene and announced that the trial would now begin.

The judge's voice was emitted through a simple loudspeaker developed by the Royal Academy of Sciences named by Liu Hong, so that everyone at the scene could hear it clearly.Seeing such a miraculous thing, the scene immediately fell silent.

The public trial meeting looks quite solemn, but in fact, this thing is completely fake.In that kind of situation where the crowd is excited, that kind of pressure is very huge. Even if they are wronged, they can't talk back under that kind of pressure, not to mention that they themselves are really unclean.

Liu Hong is very clear about this situation. Although he did not go through that special period in his previous life, he has read a lot of materials from that time.How many old revolutionaries, with such a firm will, succumbed on this occasion.With this method, it is absolutely no problem to rectify these small nobles in the feudal society.

Those who were judged also accepted their fate.When they got involved in the rebellion, they felt that they would never be spared, that their flesh and blood would suffer. Almost all of them would honestly plead guilty to whatever crime the judge read out, in order to die quickly.
