Chapter 178
"Zhao Gao, go get some food and drink. We need to discuss it carefully today and we must discuss it thoroughly." The King of Qin was very happy.
Zhao Gao responded and went to handle it himself.
The King of Qin continued: "In my opinion, if the world is unified and the place is bigger, the administration of Qin will inevitably be different from the past.
In the past, the Qin Dynasty was not big, so I could say that it was not that the Qin Dynasty did not have corrupt officials, but that corrupt officials were far less than the six countries. Now that the places were bigger, I would not be as nervous as before, and there would definitely be more corrupt officials.
"The world has returned to unity. If the government is corrupt, officials are corrupt, illegal, and people are ruthless, then the problem will be very serious. We must think of a good way to ensure the integrity of the government. What do you think, just say it.
If you can do it, I will definitely promote it; if you can't do it, I will not blame you."
Li Si looked at Zhou Chong and said, "Your Majesty, I think I'd better listen to Mr. Zhou's opinion." Zhou Chong's idea today was really wonderful. Although Li Si was jealous of Zhou Chong, he had to admire him from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, the king." Han Fei and the others agreed.
The King of Qin nodded and said, "Mr. Zhou, have you heard it? Everyone wants to hear your high theory. Mr. Zhou has come up with so many good ideas, so why not give out a few more."
"The king has his own destiny, but Zhou Chong dared not to comply.
"Zhou Chong said so many ideas, and his interest increased greatly. He was still unsatisfied and answered happily, saying: "Zhou Chong thought that if the king wanted to govern the country, he had to use people, and he had to use people, so he had to prevent them from being corrupt and corruption, and was a place to eat, and did not do practical things. Therefore, supervision was an inevitable choice.
”
The King of Qin deeply agreed and nodded, "This is the reason. The reason why the officials of the Qin Dynasty are more honest than the six countries is because the Qin Dynasty has better supervision. Now it is different, the world is unified and the territory is wider.
With more officials, it will be even more difficult to supervise. Mr. Zhou, tell me your solution.”
Zhou Chong responded and said, "Assessing the political achievements of officials is a method of supervision. If this method is not, there are disadvantages, because these are all matters on the surface. It is difficult for officials to do some shameful things for their political achievements.
Therefore, he had to be wary. Zhou Chong thought that secret supervision agencies should be set up, secret intelligence personnel should be recruited, and specialized training should be conducted on them, and assigned them to various places for open and secret investigations to collect evidence.
This is like a sharp blade hanging on the head of an official, invisible or touching, and it is real. Officials have to be afraid and dare not do their best. "
The Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei made the sky angry and people complained, and they cursed. After thinking about it carefully, the original intention of establishing Jinyiwei was good. If no one supervised the officials, it would be better.
The reason why the Jinyiwei was criticized for thousands of years is that it was not that the system itself was wrong, but that the mistake was that it gave too much power. If you collect evidence and arrest people, the problem will naturally be big.
In addition, the eunuchs profited from it and were uncontrollable, so they could not do anything to be confused.
We can assume that what would it be if the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei had only the power to collect evidence and could not arrest people? Then, if the Ming Dynasty emperors were using the person in charge of Jinyiwei were not eunuchs, but fair and honest officials.
What will it look like? Needless to say, I want to get it.
Li Si retorted: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou's proposal is good, but I think this law needs to be discussed. If these secret personnel are illegal, frame and arrest people randomly, how can they not be messed up?"
Han Fei said in contemplation: "Master Li's words may not be the case, it depends on how to use them."
"Don't argue for now, let's hear Mr. Zhou explain clearly before saying it." King Qin waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou continues to talk."
Zhou Chong continued: "The King. What Lord Li said is not unreasonable, but very reasonable. Zhou Chong thought these secret personnel only gave them the power to collect evidence, not to arrest people and cut off prison.
As for whether they can do their best, it is easy to deal with. Those who make merits will be rewarded, and those who make mistakes will be punished. It is the strength of the righteous Qin Dynasty."
"Oh, so that's it." Li Si suddenly realized and said, "I'm over-thinking."
The Qin King's vision was much bigger than that of Li Siyuan. He asked to the point of being right: "Mr. Zhou, who will deal with these officials? It's not enough to have evidence alone. If you don't ask for the crime, wouldn't you be busy with something?"
This question is exactly what Zhou Chong wants to explain next. Before Zhou Chong could say it, the King of Qin asked it out and said, "The king is the wise! This is indeed a problem, but it is easy to deal with.
The king can set up a special institution to specialize in the matter of quarantine quarantine. This institution only cares about quarantine quarantine, but cannot obtain evidence, and cannot arrest people. However, their quarantine quarantine cannot be overturned by other institutions."
King Qin thought, "Mr. Zhou means that those who collect evidence only pay attention to evidence, those who arrest people only pay attention to arrest people, and those who cut off the prison only pay attention to the prison, and each one does its own thing, and each one has nothing to do. This matter seems difficult to coordinate. If you think about it carefully, it is a clever idea. It is fair and just to cut off the prison. It is unlikely to eliminate unjust prisons, but it can greatly reduce unjust prisons.
The Qin Dynasty has always advocated the rule of law, and people can be forced to endure their grievances and complain about their hardships. This method is good, but it is just how to implement it. You all tell me."
Li Si and the others have not expressed their opinions yet, and Zhou Chong continued: "Your Majesty, in order to prevent mistakes from being wrong in the cessation of prisons, it is possible to set up another institution to specifically check and balance the institutions for cessation of prisons. Those who are unfair in the cessation of prisons can put forward different opinions and apply for cessation of prisons.
Moreover, there cannot be one person who cuts off the prison, but a few people need to break it together. In this way, it will be much more fair."
Zhou Chong's idea was to introduce a modern judicial system. Of course, the judicial system of the Qin Dynasty could not have been fully introduced into a modern judicial system, but it could be selected to introduce it in part.
Qin Shihuang was one of the emperors who most admired the rule of law in Chinese history. He was very likely to agree with Zhou Chong's proposal, so he gave it a try with Zhou Chong's determination.
The Qin King's insight was verified again, and he analyzed: "This requires three institutions, one in charge of jail cessation, one in charge of execution, and the other in charge of supervision. If it is implemented well and given real power, then unjust prisons will definitely be greatly reduced.
"Let's do it this way. When you are out of prison, ask the people to see it. First, it is to warn them not to commit crimes, and second, it is conducive to supervision. As the people know it, it is easier for us secret personnel to discover it. This idea is good!"
The reason why modern trials are open is that we often say that educating the people, and the other is that it also has a supervisory role. It is really commendable that the King of Qin said it in one word.
Li Sihan, a master of the law-abiding master, changed his mind and understood the truth, and agreed: "This idea is good and completely feasible."
"What do you think?" asked the King of Qin.
Wei Liao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Liaozi thinks this matter is feasible."
"Okay, you all agree, that's it." The King of Qin said happily: "If the officials are clear, then the officials have to be honest. A good way, a good way!"
Zhou Chong was not as optimistic as him and said, "Your Majesty, fairness and justice in the verdict are certainly good things. They can not only be used for the trial of officials, but also for the trial of civil cases.
However, it is only a way to clarify the administration of officials. Just having a fair and just severance of prisons cannot make the administration of integrity."
