Chapter 123 The evil government amnesties the world
"Evil government!"

All of a sudden, the whole court was in an uproar, and no one thought that Fan Zheng would utter wild words again.

Amnesty to the world is a show tactic used by dynasties and dynasties, but now it has become an evil government in Fan Zheng's mouth. How embarrassing are you for the previous emperors.

Empress Dowager Gao's face turned pale immediately, and she looked at Fan Zheng with an unfriendly expression. In her opinion, Fan Zheng relied on his own meritorious deeds, was favored and arrogant, arrogant and complacent.

However, Zhao Xu was moved when he heard the words, and took the initiative to cooperate and asked: "Fan Aiqing, tell me, the amnesty of the world is a benevolent government of all dynasties. How can it become an evil government among the people?"

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also staring at Fan Zheng, especially Zhao Tingzhi, gnashing their teeth. This time, if Fan Zheng couldn't make it through, even if his second uncle was the prime minister of the dynasty, he wouldn't be able to pass this test. .

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Reporting to the officials, the amnesty of the world can indeed reflect the emperor's benevolence and forgiveness, but among the people, it is used by people with ulterior motives to turn a benevolent coup into an evil one."

"A person with ulterior motives? Who is it?" Zhao Xu said flatly.

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "It is the group of people who the officials ordered to punish rape and eradicate evil."

"What's the point?" Zhao Xu said angrily.

The two sang together and cooperated tacitly.

Zhao Tingzhi snorted coldly in his heart, and immediately retorted: "Fan Taicheng, don't talk nonsense, the official amnesty is to let these sinners abandon evil and do good. It is good government, how can it be evil!"

Fan Zheng retorted: "The original intention of amnesty for the world is good, but in reality, instead of making these criminals abandon their evil and do good, they have instead helped the evildoers to do evil and work for tigers."

Immediately, Manzhao frowned, and looked at Fan Zheng unkindly.

Fan Zheng looked around at the ministers, and said without fear: "The reason why Fan said that the amnesty of the world is to help the tiger, because most of the amnesties in the Song Dynasty in my Song Dynasty have traces to follow. The sacrificial ceremony in the southern suburbs once every three years will amnesty the world, and the emperors of all dynasties will also amnesty the world when they ascend the throne and establish heirs, and the officials who have grown up will definitely be established as heirs, which is also known to the world."

All the officials are puzzled, don't understand what's wrong with this?
Fan Zheng took a deep breath, and changed his words: "Many well-informed people will determine this period and commit crimes when the world is amnesty. In this way, even if they break the law, they will only be in jail for a few days."

After Fan Zheng finished speaking, the ministers of the court suddenly looked embarrassed. It seems that there is indeed such a possibility!
"They don't even care if they don't amnesty the world, because whenever the imperial court encounters drought, locust plagues, or floods, they will also amnesty the world. On average, they can amnesty the world at least twice a year. At worst, they will be jailed for a few more months." Forget it, it will come out."

"It's simply unreasonable?" Zhao Xu said with a livid face. In this way, who would still be in awe of Da Song Lu.

"If the majesty of the law is not reflected, the criminals will naturally be unscrupulous. The humble minister and the forensic doctor Su Dun are inseparable. According to his statistics, since Renzong, the number of deaths in local courts has stabilized at more than 2000 people every year, which is several times higher than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. , and these people who are sentenced to death usually go through amnesty, the capital crime becomes exile, and the misdemeanor is released immediately, and they are pardoned twice a year, what punishment can't escape?"

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly became agitated.

Immediately, Fan Zheng's expression changed, and he imitated the bully's voice with a domineering expression: "So what if I bully you and rob you of money? At most, it's nothing more than a few days in prison. If you dare to be ignorant, after I come out, I will kill your whole family." Even if you get an amnesty, you still won’t die! The court has repeatedly pardoned the world, isn’t it conniving to criminals to do evil, and the people of the world have endured their humiliation and been bullied.”

This time, even Empress Dowager Gao's old face can't be held back, and she has pardoned the world quite a few times. Sometimes murder is also included in the list of amnesties, and she is complacent and thinks that she is a benevolent government.

"This time when the government issued an order to punish rape and eradicate evil, as many as [-]% of them refused to change after repeated admonitions. The Criminal Department should be well aware of this." Fan Zheng looked at everyone in the Criminal Department.

"What Fan Taicheng said is true. Many criminals have a very high recidivism rate after amnesty." Minister of Criminal Justice said helplessly.

"If you let him get away with it, I'm afraid he will still do evil everywhere. Instead of praying for the royal family, it will endanger the people of Song Dynasty." Fan Zheng chased after the victory.

Fan Chunren also sighed in his heart: "Report to the Empress Dowager, in the first year of Jingyou, Yu Shi Pang Ji wrote a letter saying: "Forgiveness, the serious trouble of politics and religion, should not be used frequently. Sinners cannot rehabilitate, and will return to evil. The people suffer, and it may not be unreasonable." Feeling resentful."

"In the second year of Zhihe, Fan Zhen of Zhijian Yuan also wrote to the emperor to pardon him several times a year, which is very inappropriate." Su Zhe also said.

Lu Dafang also came out and said: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Sima Xianggong also wrote a letter to Shenzong, saying directly: Those who are pardoned will do more harm than benefit. Welcome to Taihe."

Su Shi also said angrily: "There is another case in the folks that makes people feel sad: Assistant Professor Lu, a rich man in Wuzhou, went to the tenant's house to collect rent one day, and was killed by the tenant. ", after being released, he even came to the Lu family's gate again and insulted: Why didn't the teaching assistant go to the farm to collect rent?"

........................

In fact, in the face of the way of amnesty for the world, most of the ministers opposed it, and the emperor often acted recklessly for his so-called reputation of benevolence and righteousness.

Faced with the opposition from the officials, the Empress Dowager Gao was shaken. However, she has been arbitrarily determined for a long time, and it was the first time that the officials confronted her openly, which made her difficult to get off.

Fan Zheng changed his words and said: "I believe that the implementation of amnesty in the world must reflect the official's benevolence and the strictness of the law. For example, murder or extremely bad criminals cannot be pardoned, otherwise they will not be severely punished. It will definitely happen again in the future.”

Zhao Tingzhi's face darkened, Zhao Mingcheng was sentenced as attempted murder, so even if the world is amnesty, he may not be pardoned.

"Secondly, other criminals can be applied to the strategy of the third criminal?" Fan Zheng asked again.

"What are the three criminals?" Zhao Xu answered in a timely manner.

Fan Zhenglang said: "Three offenders refer to three crimes. The first crime is amnesty, and the sentence can be reduced appropriately. If you commit it again, you will be punished according to the law. If you are not pardoned, the third time you commit the crime again, it means that the crime is different. If you are stubborn, not only will you not be pardoned, but you will be given a heavy sentence. This is to warn the world."

"This is a great strategy!" Zhao Xu applauded applauding.

"In the government's order to punish rape and eliminate evil, if you are a habitual offender, you will not be pardoned. If you are a first-time offender, you can be given a lighter sentence. In this way, you can pray for the royal family and deter criminals." Fan Zheng suggested.

"This strategy works!"

All the officials also nodded in praise and said that this policy not only took into account the Empress Dowager Gao's face, but also gave Zhao Xu a reputation, and it can also attack criminals. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

"Okay, just as Fan Aiqing said! This amnesty only pardons those who have committed minor crimes for the first time!" Empress Dowager Gao said on the way down the donkey.

"The Empress Dowager is wise!" the officials complimented.

"boom!"

Zhao Xu's jade seal was affixed with a big seal, and passed the will of amnesty for the world.

"Officials are merciful!"

Baiguan paid homage again.

Zhao Tingzhi's drooping face was sullen, this was the first time the officials and the Empress Dowager confronted openly in the court, and it certainly wouldn't be the last time, he might have the opportunity to take revenge.
