Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 239 New Law Released
Gao Huan led Gao Cheng, Gao Yang and other disciples back to Bohai Palace, and immediately discussed with Gao Cheng about Duan Rong's death.

Finally, it was decided to posthumously gift Duan Rong envoy Chijie, Duan Duxiang, Ding, Ji, Cang, Ying, Yin Liuzhou military forces, Xiangzhou governor, Taifu, and Shangshuling.

From Duan Shao's succession to Juegu Zang Junhou, as for Duan Shao's own title of Xialuo County Marquis, whether he intends to leave it to his son or transfer it to his younger brother to inherit it all depends on his own mind.

But Gao Cheng already had the answer in his heart.

Perhaps the older brothers favored the younger brother, and after Duan Rong's funeral was dealt with, between his son and the two younger brothers, Duan Shao made a request to give the title of Marquis of Xialuo County to the third younger brother Duan Ning'an instead of the second brother. Brother Duan Xiaoyan.

Although it was submitted to the emperor, the memorial, as usual, fell into the hands of Gao Cheng, the supervisor of Zhongshu. He was always considerate of the emperor and worried about his hard work.

Gao Huan made a special trip to Miyagi before returning to Jinyang.

Ever since Empress Gao had an abortion, Gao Cheng never entered the palace again, nor did he even participate in the court council. Gao Longzhi was his spokesperson at the court council.

When Gao Huan entered the palace, Gao Cheng immediately went to Yongning Temple to sit in the camp of the Gyeonggi Army.

Little Gao Wang's caution, to Bill Zhurong, made all the people in the Yuan Clan sigh inwardly:

Just don't give it a chance.

No one knows exactly what Gao Huan said to his daughter and son-in-law, but the two did change their attitudes afterwards and were no longer afraid of having children.

Gao Cheng himself did not enter the palace, but he did not slacken his efforts to inquire about the news in the palace. He heard that Yuan Shanjian treated his eldest sister with respect and love, and only favored him in the harem. Restrain Gao Longzhi, and this villain who insulted the emperor can no longer be allowed to act recklessly.

A few days after Gao Huan left, Duan Shao also came to bid farewell to Gao Cheng. After Gao Huan taught him a lesson, he woke up suddenly.

It was not only Gao Huan, Gao Cheng and his son who were concerned about Duan Shao's body, but even the governor of Liangzhou, Hu Luguang, who was far away in Daliang (Kaifeng), sent his greetings.

The two don't like each other, but after all, they have been friends for many years, and the relationship is better than that of another time and space.

At least in this life, Duan Shao should not be able to get the title of Duan Po from Hu Luguang's mouth.

During the Battle of Jinyang, the Northern Zhou and Turkic coalition forces invaded Jinyang. After Duan Shao defeated the Northern Zhou army, he was ordered to pursue the Turks. Countless people and animals were plundered in Baili, and Duan Shao expelled (gifted) them out of the country.

Hu Luguang ridiculed:
Duan Poshan is sending off female guests. '

In ancient times, a man was degraded as a woman, which was a great shame.

Chen Qingzhi sent Gao Cheng women's clothes, Xiao Gao Wang secretly rejoiced, and kept his demeanor on the surface. After sending the envoy away, he still had to behave furiously in front of his cronies, imitating Sima Yi's humiliation and humiliation, and he would only be looked down upon by the Xianbei Hu people.

Gao Huan and Duan Shao were sent off one after another, and the time came to the end of May.

Song Qindao lived up to Gao Cheng's expectations, he took the county examination in Liexian County, Guangping County, Xiangzhou, Hebei Province, and won the first place in the criminal name department. Now he is reviewing laws and regulations in the clan, preparing for the Xiangzhou state examination.

And he had participated in the revision of the new law for a short time, and it was finally done.

Gao Cheng, who was holding the review of the new law, sometimes frowned, and sometimes stretched it out. Seeing the seal who presided over the compilation of the new law, he was terrified and uneasy.

After a long time, Gao Cheng put down the manuscript, smiled and said:

"Your righteousness has worked hard in the past few years. The new law is very good. After the court meeting, it can pass through the whole country."

Only then did Feng Shu feel relieved, and he turned to compliment:

"Relying on the guidance of the son, I have achieved something by luck, and I dare not take credit for it."

"It should be the credit of your editors. No one can take it away, so there is no need to be humble."

Gao Cheng shook his head.

Now he doesn't think much of this reputation, if he really wants to get a signature, it must be Jia Sixie's "Qi Min Yao Shu".

It's exasperating to say that Jia Sixie went to visit mountains and rivers again. This made Gao Cheng, who was inquiring about the progress of "Qi Min Yao Shu" in real time, grieve his teeth. At the same time, he secretly decided that after this trip, Jia Sixie would dare to hang out with others again. At that time, he was going to send a steel knife to Qingzhou Yidu (Shandong Shouguang) as a threat.

When Feng Shu left Zhongshu Province, he couldn't calm down for a long time. Gao Cheng didn't let him wait for the imperial examination three years later and retake the county examination. .

The manuscript was taken away by Feng Shu, and it was prepared to be presented tomorrow, and then Yuan Shanjian held a court meeting in Mingguang Hall, and Gao Longzhi replaced the absent Gao Cheng to speak.

Gao Cheng is going to use the new law as the specified content of the criminal name examination, but he is not in a hurry now, but the next examination in three years.

After all, the students of this class have reviewed the old law for so long, and changed the content of the exam with a slap in the face, and I don't know how many people will complain.

Feng Shu and others seriously summed up the disadvantages of the cumbersome legal codes since the "Fa Jing", and condensed the new laws into twelve chapters, namely, famous cases, forbidden guards, married households, arbitrariness, illegal system, fraud, litigation, Thieves and theft, capture and destruction, damage, stables, miscellaneous laws, a total of 940 nine.

Among them, "Ming Li Law" is the general chapter, which is combined with "Xing Ming" and "Law" in "Jin Law".

Establish a system of ten felonies, collectively referred to as the ten evils, namely rebellion, great rebellion, treason, surrender, evil rebellion, immorality, disrespect, unfilial piety, injustice, and civil strife.

Respectively correspond to: rebellion, destruction of mausoleums, rebellion, surrender, beating and murder of parents, grandparents, brutal murder, disrespect to the emperor, disrespect to parents, killing the governor of the government and the teacher, relatives.

Those who commit these ten evils will not only be punished with the most severe punishment, but also not applicable to the relevant provisions of the Eight Discussions and Redemption, which is heinous.

The so-called Eight Discussions refers to the emperor's discretion to reduce or exempt punishments for eight categories of people, including relatives, old friends, sages, capable people, honorable ministers, dignitaries, hardworking people, and state guests.

And the atonement is easy to understand, that is, to atone with property.

In terms of penalties, the new law followed and developed the five-penalty system of the Northern Wei Dynasty, namely whipping, staff, imprisonment, exile, and death.

The death penalty, cane punishment, and caning punishment are easy to understand. The so-called exile sentence refers to being sent to remote areas, with a fixed sentence, and you can return to your place of origin when it expires.

Imprisonment refers to deprivation of personal liberty and forced labor reform.

Stick punishment is 10 sticks, 20 sticks, and 30 sticks, totaling 3 grades;
鞭刑为40鞭、50鞭、60鞭、80鞭、100鞭，共计5等；
The minimum sentence is 1 year, the maximum is 5 years, with one grade per year, totaling 5 grades;
The minimum sentence for exile is 5 years, the maximum is 10 years, and there is one class each year, totaling five classes;
The death penalty is divided into four categories: hanging, beheading, owl head, and handcuffing.

The new law is divided into 22 punishments in total.

Although Gao Cheng was dissatisfied with certain regulations in the Ten Felony Articles, it was nothing else but worried that Gao Longzhi would make mistakes, such as disrespecting the emperor.

But it is still allowed, after all, in ancient times, the law has always restrained the rest of the people except those in power.

It's just that out of the dignity of the law, those in power will not violate it openly, and no one can control it secretly.
