"A soldier who yields without a fight, and a good person who is good", this is the highest realm of the ancient rulers to manage their subordinates, so that those people are convinced. In fact, this is not something that ordinary people can do, after all, most people cannot be like Tang Taizong. Most of them use laws to deter courtiers, and there are many types of criminal law.
In TV dramas, it is often seen that in order to deter the courtiers, the emperor adopts many types of criminal law. Like five horses divided into corpses, waist beheadings, decapitations, etc., these words appear quite high. Some ministers are really quite afraid of this, for fear of falling to their side. In addition to this, everyone is most afraid of things, and there is a kind of torture. The use of animal organs to punish people is worse than death, and it is better to die than to be punished in this way.
If you talk about which dynasty law is the most stringent country, I am afraid that many people are impressed by the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shi Huang burned books to pit Confucianism and offended Confucianism. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism became the mainstream of thought, and he always attacked the emperor, bluntly saying that he was a tyrant.
Although the words are somewhat exaggerated, one fact is indeed true, that is, the laws of the Qin Dynasty were not generally heavy. Qin Shi Huang emphasized the ideas of the Fa at that time, vigorously adopted Han Feizi's suggestions, and did not take Confucianism seriously. It may have something to do with personal character, and some people advocate convincing each other with benevolence, but Qin Shi Huang is less inky. Direct use, in a short period of time has indeed achieved results.
However, the Qin Dynasty was overthrown, also because of the harsh government, which taught the rulers a lesson. If you blindly use torture, it is difficult to make people obey, and it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among the people. In the Han Dynasty, although the laws of the Qin Dynasty were inherited, the intermediate process was changed. Ti Qian's rescue father was praised as a beautiful talk, but some cruel criminal laws were still preserved. Among them, there is a criminal law, which involves the organs of animals, which makes many people afraid.
In ancient times, people were afraid of criminal law such as Ling Chi and waist slashing, and the first one had to be hit by more than three thousand knives to cut off the prisoner's flesh bit by bit. Some prisoners can't stand the pain and would rather be killed directly by a knife. As for the waist beheading criminals, the pain is even greater, because all kinds of organs of the human body are in the upper body, and they have to see themselves executed. Therefore, some people will bribe the executioner in advance, hoping that when the cabinet is used, let it be neat and reduce the pain.
In the harem, the concubines fight quite fiercely, and they are not generally fierce for love enemies. Lü Hou and Wu Zetian had done this kind of thing, and the poison of the means made people unbearable to look at it directly. Lü Hou hated his former love enemy Lady Qi, and after taking power, he always retaliated against the other party, and at first he just let him scoop rice. Finding that this person is not dead-hearted, cutting off her limbs, ears, eyes, and tongue is destroyed, it is better to live than to die.
Wu Zetian also did a very good job, playing 100 large plates each for Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei, and the skin was directly opened to open the flesh. Seeing that the enemy was not discouraged in this way, he cut off his hands and siblings and threw the two men into the wine tank. This method is called "broken bones", although it does not directly kill two people, but it abuses two people.
The criminal law we are talking about today is very different from the previous one, and it does not fight or scold, but it is very frightening. It uses animal organs and suffers a lot at the time of torture. The rich, in particular, are most feared. That punishment is called laughter, which is recorded in the history books of all countries in the world and is quite popular.
Europeans discovered the punishment early on, when they were born in wartime and tied the hands and feet of prisoners to chairs. Let him lie flat on the chair, apply honey or salt to the soles of his feet, and lead a sheep directly over to lick the food. Sheep breeders know that sheep love salt and will take the initiative to lick it when they smell it.
Goats are herbivores with soft tongues and a small groove in the middle with small spines on top. Because the rich and noble people are pampered, the skin is very delicate, and the small thorn touching the skin will produce a sense of irritation. There are many acupuncture points in the feet of the human body, but everyone does not touch them much, and in the past, some people scratched the soles of their feet with their fingers, which made people unbearable. Not to mention that the goat's tongue is so in contact with the skin on the soles of the feet, normal people can stand it.
People who accept laughter will keep laughing, and some people will die if they can't hold on. Some of them have been beaten very badly before, and as a result, in the process of being punished with laughter, the blood from the wound will flow faster, and eventually fester and die. Usually, occasional laughter is good for physical health, but continuous laughter will really cause accidents, and the direct laughter will be out of breath.
People themselves are sensitive animals, and there are many sensitive parts, such as the soles of the feet, the belly, the creaky nest, etc., which will make people laugh incessantly. So don't underestimate this punishment, sometimes it really kills people invisibly. In "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji made love because of laughter, Zhang Wujie was proficient in the art of medicine, and deliberately pointed out the acupuncture points on the soles of her feet. Even Zhao Min, who has a strong personality, did not suffer one by one and took the initiative to "confess".
The use of criminal law to punish criminals, on the one hand, because they have made mistakes, is in itself a deserved punishment. On the other hand, it can also deter future generations, so that many people easily dare not touch the criminal law. Not only do they feel physical pain, but they are also mentally tortured and eager to kill themselves. This kind of thing is passed on to ten, ten to a hundred, so that everyone has a reverence for the law. This is the real goal, you better not make mistakes easily, otherwise you will be cleaned up very badly.
At present, the views of the world on the death penalty are different, and some countries have abolished the death penalty. However, whether this is good or bad, I am afraid that only the parties concerned know best, and some people are extremely evil, but they have escaped death, which is really unfair. Nowadays, the country governs the country according to law, and it does not relax at all for some criminal acts, and it is very "influential" for some people. We must abide by the law and never let ourselves be imprisoned, otherwise it will be too late to regret it.
The Qin Dynasty was the country with the largest number of punishments in history, and it was tyranny to evaluate it. People are jealous, causing the demise of the Qin Dynasty, which has a strong warning effect on many dynasties. But things also have to be divided into two, although the law is very strict, but there is also a positive side in life. It is to shock the people. If you do something illegal, you must worry about one or two things, and dare not break the law.
Everything must be grasped well, if it is passed, it will not achieve the original purpose. The purpose of making various laws is to manage the people well, and if you blindly pursue harsh government, you will lose your original intention. Therefore, it is now more emphasized that only by combining law and reasoning can we maintain long-term social peace and stability.
