Chapter 372 Judicial Reform
After this incident, the Ministry of Justice began to formulate and issue the law of self-defense and relevant explanations for excessive defense.
The promulgation of this law not only protects social interests and other legitimate rights and interests from illegal infringement, but also deters criminals from acts of rashness, but also encourages everyone in society to fight against the ongoing illegal infringement. It is of great significance.
This is the progress of the Qin Dynasty's legal system and a victory of justice!
Of course, only Li Yang understood that the most important significance of the law of self-defense was that in this era, the Qin Empire recognized and protected the legal rights and interests of individuals.
This is of great significance!
In addition, in addition to correcting the shortcomings of private fighting, this time, the law of self-defense was formulated and issued. The Ministry of Justice also further defined and explained the blackmail and blackmail.
The form of blackmail in the form of false accusation is regarded as blackmail, blackmail, and a crime of blackmail, and a prison sentence ranges from half a month to seven years. Moreover, in the Qin Dynasty, a special explanation is given, that is, illegal acts of using others' kindness, opportunism and blackmail in the form of false accusation, regardless of the amount of blackmail, will be regarded as particularly serious and severe sentences will be imposed.
In other words, ordinary blackmail, such as deliberately holding a vase in your hand and causing you to break it, can be regarded as a minor plot, and it may be enough for half a month to be sentenced to prison.
However, if a kind-hearted person helps the old lady, he will be falsely accused and blackmailed. No matter how much money you blackmail it, even if it is just a copper coin, it will be considered as a serious situation. If it is directly sentenced to a heavy sentence, it will be counted for years, such as five years or seven years?
In short, this law is also intended to maintain and promote social justice and noble morality. At the same time, it cracks down on false accusations and blackmail.
Forget about mediation or blackmail failure, these do not exist, and they will be sentenced directly and will be sentenced to the highest punishment.
In Li Yang's words, it is a society where everyone cares about gains and losses. A person who is originally good dares to help others easily. A person with justice dares to speak up when he sees illegal acts and dares to act bravely. Then such a society is extremely indifferent and selfish. If all these phenomena and current situations are caused by the law, then such a law must be corrected and revised.
Therefore, in order to prevent this phenomenon, the laws of the Qin Dynasty were prevented in advance.
Li Yang wants to make the future Daqin, every kind person, be content with peace of mind, help those in need, and let every justice be bold to say the word "no" to evil forces and illegal acts!
At the same time, it also makes everyone who dares to take advantage of other people's kindness and consume kindness and pays a heavy price!
The relevant laws were soon issued and were directly released in various provinces and counties in the Qin Dynasty.
At the same time, in the 11th year AD, in early winter, Qin State also reformed the judicial system.
The Qin Dynasty had the original official system. In the local area, each province had a provincial government office, and there were two levels of county and county below the province. It was mainly the county magistrate, the censor, and the county magistrate.
The county magistrate, the county magistrate. The county magistrate of the Qin Dynasty had very great power. Except for the county magistrate who was directly appointed and removed by the court, the censor who was responsible for supervising the county magistrate, the county magistrate who was responsible for commanding the garrison and the county magistrate who was responsible for managing public order, the other county officials were appointed and removed by the county magistrate.
The Censor is affiliated with the Supervision Office and is responsible for supervising the county magistrate and other officials.
The county magistrate is in charge of the county garrison, in charge of public security, and detectives thieves. Since Li Yang reorganized the Qin army, the county magistrate has been separated from the military system and has become the chief of the county's security officer. In the words of later generations, he is the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Of course, in addition to this, there are county magistrates. The second-rank officers of the county, who assist the county magistrate in charge of county governments. When the county magistrate is absent or unable to be in charge of the director, the county magistrate shall serve as county magistrates. The officials include a history of the family, a chief clerk, a pastor order, etc.
It is precisely because of the administrative system in various places that it can be seen that the judicial system in the local Qin Dynasty was not independent. Judicial and administrative power were decided by the leaders of the local area.
For example, in the province, the governor has the final say; in the county, the county magistrate has the final say; in the county, the county magistrate has the final say. Only the censor is affiliated with the Supervision Office and is not subject to the local chief.
Moreover, there is basically no appeal in judicial cases.
It is precisely because of this that Li Yang believed that the judicial system of Daqin must be reformed. Therefore, he directly independent the judiciary from local administrative institutions, named Daqin Judicial Office.
The Judicial Office is naturally the organ that exercises judicial power, responsible for trial and judgment, which is equivalent to the combination of later courts and procuratorates.
At the same time, the organs of the Censors were changed to the Supervision Office, which was equivalent to the discipline inspection and supervision agencies of later generations.
The Judicial Office is directly independent from the local government and is affiliated with the Ministry of Justice. It is not subject to the local chief officials and the case that there are any struggles is not finalized by the local chief governor or county magistrate, but is directly submitted to the superior judicial organs.
For example, a county-level judicial office, a case with disputes or a case with dissatisfaction or a case with dissatisfaction, may be submitted directly to a county-level judicial office for appeal. If there is still disputes or dissatisfaction, it may continue to be submitted to the provincial judicial office.
In this way, the entire judicial system can greatly reduce unjust, false and wrong cases. At the same time, judicial departments at all levels are urged to conduct fair and fair trials.
As soon as the judicial reform of Daqin was implemented, the people did not think it was special at first.
However, in any era, there are so many smart, talented and visionary people. They immediately realize the profound significance and impact behind judicial reform.
Then, with the explanation of these people, more and more people suddenly understood that judicial reform was equivalent to allowing everyone in the world to be treated fairly and justly in the face of the law.
In the past, if the county magistrate said you were guilty, you were guilty, and if the county magistrate said you were guilty, guilty was also guilty. How can the people have the right to say "disobey"?
But now it is different. The right to trial cases is no longer under the hands of the county magistrate. As long as it is innocent, even if the county-level judicial office convicts you, you can appeal to the county-level judicial office and the province. Even some particularly controversial cases will be submitted to the Ministry of Justice for resolution.
In short, this made every ordinary citizen see the hope of treating everyone fairly and justly before the law.
It is precisely because this judicial reform is of far-reaching significance and great importance that this judicial reform has been directly recorded in history.
