Du Zhou was a famous cruel official in the Western Han Dynasty. He is a very important person, and he doesn't talk much. His heart is engraved. They were all appointed as Tingwei and Physician. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty admired him very much. What is the reason? One is that he was arrested one by one, and the other is that he is in prison, which is subject to the will of the emperor.

When the emperor sued the people he hated, he fell into the wrong way: when the emperor wanted to release someone, he made an excuse to release them. Someone asked him in this regard: "You are the king of the world, and you don't follow the rule of three feet. You only treat people's thoughts as prisons. Is the prisoner so solid? " The so-called three-foot method refers to the legal provisions written on a three-foot long bamboo tube.

Du Zhou laughed off this accusation and said plausibly, "Where is the three-foot method?" The former owner did the law, and the latter owner did the law. What was the law at that time?

An official in Yizhou said: Yu Taishou must have an idea. After that, I took over the case. Said, "This is easy to understand." He ordered the two families to drive their cows to the front of the county government and let them claim them. As a result, the cattle to be claimed entered any cattle.

On one occasion, the general Quan Shancai of Wu Wei mistakenly cut down the cypress tree in Zhaoling, and the emperor was dismissed. Tang Youzong was very angry and ordered to punish Quan Shancai. Di Renjie was guilty of playing with power and wrongful death. Gao Zong said, "I am unfilial because of my kindness. I must kill him to get rid of my hatred. "

When people heard this, they all winked at Di Renjie and told him to leave the palace. However, Di Renjie said unhurriedly, "When I heard that I disobeyed Long Lin, I thought I was a hero since ancient times, but when I met him, I didn't think so. Jay and Zhou are difficult to live in, but Yao and Shun are easy to live in. I was lucky enough to meet Yao Shun today, and I was not afraid of being punished for fighting.

Your majesty's practice, hanging like Wei, is a capital crime, with equal difference. Do you commit a non-capital crime, that is, give the death penalty? Since the law is impermanent, what can the people do? Your majesty must want to reform, please start today. "

After hearing this, Zhang Qixian said, "It is up to the non-Taiwan Province government to decide. Please treat. " Zhang Qixian was sitting in the Prime Minister's Office. The summoner asked, "If you don't want to share more money with him, how much will you share?" "Everyone said: But.

He wrote down their demands and ordered his men to take them home. The two families exchanged their residences and their property remained unchanged. A family lives in B family, B family lives in A family, A family's property belongs to B family's property belongs to A family.

Step 6 force orders

When Dong Xuan was a magistrate in Luoyang, the princess's servant killed someone and broke the law, and those who arrested him were afraid to go in. When Dong Xuan heard that the princess's car was coming out, he stopped the car and killed the servant who committed the capital crime face to face.

The princess thought that Dong Xuan was bullying her by killing her servant in front of her. So he complained to the emperor, that is, his brother Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu was very angry and asked Dong Xuan to kill him. Dong Xuan also said angrily, "Your Majesty was very wise to revive the Han Dynasty, but now you are addicted to killing people. How do you govern the country? I don't need you to fight. I died first! "

As he spoke, he hit the post with his head and his head was broken.

When Liu Xiu knew the truth, he wouldn't kill him, but asked him to kowtow and apologize to the princess.

Liu Xiu finally rewarded him and awarded him the title of "injunction".
