Chapter 126 The king’s brother raped a common girl? And such good things!
Three days later.
Xianyang Palace, Qilin Palace.
The long-lost imperial meeting was held again.
Lu Buwei said in a deep voice: "Today's meeting is to discuss the "New District Interim Law"!"
"All territories newly attached to Da Qin are regarded as new areas."
"The new areas will not follow Qin laws for the time being, but will be governed by three chapters of the law, giving the new people time to accept and learn Qin laws."
" The "Interim Law" will be implemented for five years. "
"During this period, taxes such as land tax, calculation tax, military service, and corvee are all the same as those in Qin Dynasty, and there will be no preferential treatment after five years. , all laws and regulations in the new area are implemented as in Qin Dynasty. ”
"Please ask all the gentlemen to hand over the "Provisional Code" to all ministers."
Making laws is a very complicated matter. It must not conflict with the existing Qin laws, and it also needs to be carefully worded to avoid misunderstandings. It also needs to be easy for legal officials to understand, and corresponding legal questions and answers need to be issued, and fictitious cases should be used to further explain.
Ying Chengyu came up with the New District Interim Law with a slap on his forehead, but it took Lu Buwei two months to finally compile and revise it into the "New District Interim Law"!
Now, it is finally time for this law to take the stage.
As the doctor handed the scrolls of bamboo slips to the court officials, Lu Buwei also felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Although this was different from what he had originally envisioned, it was a big step forward for clemency and probation.
Lu Buwei doesn’t know how receptive the current court is to leniency and probation.
Soon, the first voice of opposition appeared.
Meng Wu stood up and held his hands in his hands, and asked in a solemn voice: "I dare to ask Prime Minister Lu, if the new area will not be punished by the Qin law for five years after it has been annexed, does this have anything to do with the military code?"
Lu Buwei But he shook his head: "After the people of the new area joined the army, they first concentrated on studying the "Military Rules" to understand the rewards and punishments in the army."
"At the end of the study period, rewards and punishments will be given according to the "Military Rules"."
Meng Wu frowned slightly: "If this is the case, it will not be fair to the soldiers in other areas."
"They are not Understanding the "Laws of Qin" is their problem, not the problem of Da Qin, let alone the generals."
"If the soldiers in the new district do not run the army according to the "Laws of Military Jue" after joining the army, the soldiers in the old district will not. To govern the army according to the "Military Rules" is a great injustice in rewards and punishments!"
"How can soldiers be willing to do so?"
"And if the army has already marched out and fought with the enemy without finishing studying the "Military Code", how will we manage the army!"
"If those soldiers in the new district violate the "Military Code", we will How to punish!”
Meng Wu’s opposition was expected by Lu Buwei.
A series of laws and regulations such as Shang Yang's heavy punishment and military nobility laws all served the Qin military.
If you want to change the details of the law, even if it is to change the military law, the military will not say anything.
But if the underlying logic of Da Qin's laws were to be disturbed, how could the military endure it?
Lü Buwei nodded slightly: "General Meng's words are correct and consistent with the discussion."
Lü Buwei knew very well that if he wanted to convince the military, he could not just pass specific laws and regulations, but simply The debate is even more useless.
But to make the military believe that this is a new rule that is good for them, at least not touching their interests!
Meng Wu bowed his hand and said: "The last general is a warrior. He is not knowledgeable in literary matters. He will not be able to do what he advises."
"The last general only knows one thing, fairness is the most important thing in the army!"
Before Meng Wu could sit down, Pingzhun ordered Wu Tang to stand up again: "I think this law is inappropriate!"
< br>"Lv Xiang knows that merchants are all good at flattery."
"The "Golden Rules" forces merchants to submit to the jurisdiction of the imperial court."
""New District" "Temporary Code" seems to be a generous move to give the new land five years to learn the Qin Code."
"But for merchants, this is a great opportunity!"
Wu Tang said seriously: "The law is both a restraint and a protection for the head of Guizhou."
"Without the protection of the "Golden Rules", those merchants can make the chiefs of Guizhou owe money for a hundred years!"
"If the newly attached land is given five years of freedom, the chief officials of Guizhou in the newly attached land will live forever. They can’t stand up!”
Following Wu Tang, courtiers stood up one after another and launched a fierce attack on Lu Buwei.
Ying Zheng's ambition to engulf the six countries is still only known to a few people.
Even officials who knew Ying Zheng's ambitions had no idea what challenges Da Qin would face if it unified the world in ten or twenty years.
They cannot understand the difficulties that Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu see that Da Qin will face in the future.
Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng could not say in court that Ying Zheng was determined to dominate the world.
Then it becomes a national policy!
Therefore, even Lu Buwei was a little unable to resist the fierce attack of all the courtiers.
Seeing Lu Buwei showing signs of fatigue, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Silence!"
Eunuchs such as Zhao Gao immediately shouted: "Silence!"
With an order, Changyun picked up the knocked-over hair crown and returned it to its original position. Meng Hai also picked up his lower clothes and walked back. Calm returned to the Qilin Hall.
Ying Zheng then spoke: "I have seen something from the Book of Shang Jun: rituals and laws are determined by the time. Regulations and orders should be in accordance with their own needs. Arms and equipment should be used according to their purpose. ”
"Therefore, Shang Jun said: If there is no one way to govern the world, there is no need to follow the ancient rules to facilitate the country!"
"The "New District Interim Law" is an attempt, an attempt made by the Qin Dynasty to adapt to the current national conditions."
"You will inevitably face many problems in the process of trying."
"Since there are problems, then find the problems and solve them."
"My dear friends, you can tell what is in your heart I want to write a remonstrance to me so that I can take a closer look at it." Lu Buwei cast a grateful look at Ying Zheng.
Lu Buwei once thought that he would face great resistance when implementing reforms, but Lu Buwei also did not expect that the resistance he would face would be so great.
Almost the entire court was criticizing him!
Fortunately, Ying Zheng helped him control the situation, allowing him to go back and discover the problems that each courtier saw based on their remonstrances, identify why each courtier objected, and make further revisions.
Otherwise, the "New District Interim Law" may have been aborted before it was even launched!
The ministers were unwilling to accept it, but since Ying Zheng already said he had something to say, he came to remonstrate with him, so there was no point in continuing this topic.
The ministers had no choice but to hand over their hands: "Wei!"
Ying Zheng asked quietly: "Do you have anything else you would like to report to me?"
Qi Mang, the middle doctor, took a step forward and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Qi Mang looked at Ying Zheng and said in a deep voice: "I impeach Lord Chang'an for plundering Yongcheng. Folk girl!”
Ying Zheng's eyes were stunned: "Chang'an Lord actually did such a thing?!"
Did Brother Wang go to rob people's girls?
Is there such a good thing? !
Seeing the shock on Ying Zheng's face, Qi Mang thought that even Ying Zheng had not expected that Ying Chengyu would be so shameless, so he spoke angrily: "According to the reports from the subjects of Yongcheng, the day after Lord Chang'an performed the sacrifice in the ancestral temple, Then he rode out of the city."
"When he returned to the city, Chang'an Jun's carriage was full of women!"
"Yongcheng County Magistrate Shi Cang wanted to inspect the vehicle and verify the identity of the woman, but Lord Chang'an threatened him with force!"
Many courtiers immediately came out angrily and handed over their hands:
"Your Majesty, Even if Lord Chang'an is the Young Master of the Qin Dynasty, he cannot do such a violation of the law. I advise you to arrest Lord Chang'an immediately and return him to Xianyang City for questioning!"
"How could Lord Chang'an do something so outrageous and outrageous? Such a move!”
“As the Young Master of the Qin Dynasty, Lord Chang’an should set an example for the Great Qin Dynasty. I believe that Lord Chang’an can follow the example of Young Master Qian and uphold the laws of Qin!”
"What kind of person is the Lord of Chang'an? How could he rob people's girls! I think this must be a fraud!"
Robbing people's girls is a serious illegal act. According to the "Qin Code", it is enough to be sentenced to death. !
The rape of women is a serious violation of ethics. Even Tengfu and other Ying Chengyu's subordinates are embarrassed to defend this behavior, and can only say that it may not be true.
On the high platform, Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "Doctor Qi, you said that the Lord of Chang'an raped the women of the people, is there any evidence?"
Qi Mang bowed his hands and said: "The Lord of Chang'an raped the women. When the women who plundered the people entered the city, they were witnessed by the city gate guards. ”
"Now there are ten Yongcheng city gate guards standing outside Xianyang Palace waiting to accept the king's summons."
"I advise you to quickly order the Lord of Chang'an to return to Xianyang for questioning!"
Qi Mang He didn't want to use this to convict Ying Chengyu. He just wanted to use this method to call Ying Chengyu back to Xianyang City.
Ying Zheng stood up and said in a cold voice: "Last year, there were rumors that slandered Lord Chang'an, and many courtiers slandered Lord Chang'an for rebellion."
"But what is the result?"
"Not only did Lord Chang'an never plot to rebel against the country, but he also seized all the lands of Korea from our great Qin!"
"And today, Doctor Qi also said that Lord Chang'an raped the women of the people."
"It's my fault. I know better than all the ministers what kind of character my brother Wang has!”
“I, a great hero of the Qin Dynasty, should not be humiliated like this, let alone have to go back to Xianyang City to be questioned just because of a complaint. "
"When I go to Yongcheng in person, I will ask the Lord of Chang'an in person. "
Ying Zheng didn't think that Ying Chengyu would do such things as raping women. Ying Zheng knew very well that Ying Chengyu was not someone who indulged in vulgar tastes.
Moreover, the maids and palace maids in Chang'an Palace and Chang'an Lord's Mansion are all beautiful. Does Ying Chengyu need to rob civilian girls?
So what if Ying Chengyu really went to rob civilian girls?
Ying Chengyu is already seventeen years old. A person of such an age should have a child even if he does not get married!
In order to make Ying Chengyu willing to stay as a queen, Ying Zheng, Mrs. Han and the Queen Mother Huayang were all worried.
If Ying Chengyu really likes folk girls and is willing to have children with them, Ying Zheng and the Queen Mother Huayang must work together to help Ying Chengyu deal with the situation so that those folk girls can safely give birth to Ying Chengyu's children!
Qi Mang looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief: "Your Majesty, the witness has arrived. I am definitely not making false accusations against Lord Chang'an!"
"It means that Your Majesty trusts Lord Chang'an as a person. We should also summon Lord Chang'an back to the court for questioning!"
Lü Buwei said in a deep voice: "I don't think it is possible for Lord Chang'an to use his title as a prince to rob civilian women."< br>
"The return of Lord Chang'an to Yongcheng is for a triumphal sacrifice. Wouldn't it be a joke to our ancestors to summon Lord Chang'an to return to the court for such a reason?"
"There is no need to mention this matter again!"
While speaking, Lu Buwei looked at Qi Mang with a funny look.
If this kind of thing happens to others, it is indeed enough to be summoned back to Xianyang for questioning.
But on Lord Changan?
You really don’t know how much the king loves Lord Chang’an.
Even if I don't take action against Lord Chang'an now, why don't you restrain yourself?
Seeing that both Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei said this, Qi Mang could only hand over his hand helplessly: "Wei!"
Huang Jie sighed softly and had to report: "Your Majesty, today I Received a report from Yongcheng County Magistrate Shi Cang. "Three days ago, Dazheng Palace and Yongshou's bed were set on fire by thieves."
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly shrank: "Chang... …The Queen Mother and Lord Chang’an are okay?”
Lu Buwei closed his eyes and didn't even look.
Your Majesty, the first thing you want to ask is whether Chang'an Lord is safe, right?
The truth is that you dote on Mr. Chang'an, but no matter how much you dote on him, you must have a certain limit!
Is Chang'an Jun's safety more important than your biological mother's safety?
Huang Jie bowed his hands and saluted: "Thanks to the blessing of our ancestors, both the Queen Mother and Lord Chang'an are fine."
"However, the Nangong eunuch Lao Ai reported that the Queen Mother was trembling because of the fire."
"The eunuch Lao Ai asked the king to move to Yongcheng to comfort the Queen Mother!"
