Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 571 Is About Enlightenment
"The kindness of the Holy Majesty is enough to influence any evil thoughts. I'm not wrong, right?"

Qin Tian said this before, and Li Shimin always felt that it was Qin Tian's little trickster who just wanted to flatter him, but when he listened to it now, he felt that there was no sentence in the world that made him happier than this one. Proud, and proud.

"Qin Aiqing is right. If you hope for others, you can awaken your conscience."

Qin Tian nodded, and said again: "My lord, since these eighteen people have all returned, can their death penalty be avoided?"

Speaking of this, Qin Tian said again: "They are indeed guilty, but most of them will not die. In addition to regulating people, the determination of many laws is to educate them and make them correct by means of punishment. Now Since he has changed his ways, he should be given leniency."

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Li Shimin chuckled: "Qin Aiqing is playing tricks on me again, isn't she?"

"This... I'm wronged." Qin Tian looked aggrieved, when did he set Li Shimin a trap.

Li Shimin waved his hand: "I have already decided to amend the law, and it will never change. You want me to let them go first. If there is a precedent, the law will not change, right?"

With a precedent, if the law is not changed, how will other condemned prisoners be dealt with?

Failure to follow this precedent would be injustice, injustice, and the existence of the law would be meaningless.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Qin Tian was speechless. He didn't have this idea. He just felt that since those condemned prisoners had returned, it was necessary to deal with them according to the circumstances, so as not to make people feel cold.

"My lord, I really didn't mean that..."

Just as he was about to explain, Li Shimin waved his hand again: "Okay, I don't bother to listen to you, Han Aiqing, those [-] death-row inmates will be exempted from the death penalty, except those who committed more serious crimes and caused people's lives, let the rest be released." , Those who commit suicide will be dispatched to the frontier.”

"Here!"

Han Xiao took the order to retreat, Li Shimin glanced at Qin Tian, ​​and said: "You should go back too, tomorrow morning, I will propose a revision of the law."

Qin Tian also took orders and retreated.

Prison prison.

Han Xiao came to the prisoner's cell again, and the prisoners didn't say anything when they saw Han Xiao.

They feel that it is useless to say more, since they are back, they are already ready to die.

However, Han Xiao ordered someone to open the cell, and then asked someone to read the names of several people.

"The few people who read just now, you can go home."

When they heard this sentence, everyone was taken aback.

"Han...Master Han, what's going on, can we really go home?"

"Did you lie to us, go home, are you going to kill us?"

Some people have a rich imagination and imagine going home as returning to their hometown. Han Xiao was speechless, and said with a straight face: "My lord, you still have a little conscience, so I am extra merciful and spared your death penalty, but even though I let you go home, After that, you can’t do any more evil, or the two crimes will be added together, and you will never be forgiven lightly.”

Hearing this, the people whose names were read just now were overjoyed. They never thought that they would be free just because of a single thought of conscience.

Things in the world are really unpredictable sometimes.

"Long live the saint, long live the saint..."

These people shouted loudly, and then ran out. Now they are even more exciting than before.

However, the few remaining people felt a little uneasy.

"Han...Master Han, what about us?"

Han Xiao glanced at them and said: "You killed people after all, so you can't get absolute freedom like them, but the Holy One has already exempted you from the death penalty and ordered you to be sent to the frontier. If you have done meritorious service, you can handle it at your discretion. "

Hearing that they don't have to die, these people suddenly cheered again.

"Long live the saint, long live the saint..."

Before dusk, the sunshine in the capital was still fierce.

In a small courtyard, a woman sat on the stone steps in front of the door and wept secretly.

Her son is gone, and she will never see her son again.

Her eyes hurt from crying, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably.

At this moment, the door creaked open, she looked up, and then she was stunned for a moment: "You...you escaped back again?"

The man at the door was her son.

The man hurried over, knelt down in front of the woman, and said: "Mother, the son didn't come back, the Holy One is merciful, and spared me the death penalty, but the son may be sent to the frontier tomorrow..."

"Really?" The woman suddenly smiled, her face wrinkled. I'm afraid this is the best news she has heard in her life.

A word of love in this world is really hard to say sometimes.

In Chang'an City, news of the lenient sentence of the eighteen prisoners spread quickly.

When the people heard the news, they were stunned for a moment.

"Would it be too reckless for His Majesty to do this? They are all death row prisoners, so they are released like this?"

"Who says no, their existence is too dangerous."

"........."

At first, some people felt that it was a bit dangerous to release the death row inmates, but soon someone stood up.

"Actually, just because they could have been free and they came back, we should believe them."

"That's right, the Holy One still believes in them, why can't we give them a chance to be human again?"

"People are not sages and sages, so there is nothing wrong with it. Knowing your mistakes can make you better..."

Some people think it is dangerous, some people think they should be given a chance, neither of these two kinds of remarks can convince anyone, only time will tell.

Maybe, some people really get better in the future, then they are role models, and maybe some people will continue to degenerate in the future.

There are no absolutes in the world, and of course there is no such thing, but at least many people feel that the lives of these people will definitely be very different in the future.

Li Shimin's kindness spread among the people again.

"My lord, good man!"

"Yes, good man!"

At dusk, the setting sun left only a patch of red, and when Qin Tian returned to the mansion, Cheng Yaojin was already waiting.

"Good boy, good boy, you actually won the bet. It's a pity that those people I sent are gone. If I knew it, I wouldn't let them go."

Cheng Yaojin laughed, Qin Tian shook his head and smiled wryly. After Cheng Yaojin brought it up yesterday, he was indeed a little worried, so he acquiesced to Cheng Yaojin's approach, so that even if something really happened, he could control the matter in their own hands.

Fortunately, those people still have a conscience, Cheng Yaojin's people were of no use after all.

And isn't this the best result?
Explain that the Tang Dynasty is saved, and the common people are saved.

"You boy, how can you thank me?"

"You didn't come in handy..."
