Crime And Punish The Families Of The Ming Dynasty And The Ming Dynasty Official Politics

In this paper, the Ming Dynasty officials family crime punishment is analyzedand the political relationship problems, a more detailed description of the officialcrime families played the role of political struggle in the Ming dynasty.The families of officials in the problem of crime law in ancient China in little,only in certain high officials identity or the low status of the crime and thepunishment degree made provisions. The ancient Chinese law makers not to take it asa special subject of crime should be determined, which resulted in the family afterofficials crime investigation is very difficult to become a universal law. Rarely seerelated content officials families all crimes in ancient Chinese sentences, but in theofficial records often can see some senior officials because their families led to itsbeing investigated for criminal punishment, even by the. In ancient China, officialsoften mutual protection, family members and officials officials often are integrated, sothe general official family crime have been overshadowed by the tacit understandingbetween the behavior of officials. Records of this contradiction is a reflection of thehistorical materials, was revealed in ancient Chinese official crime problem families,and punish, implicate behind are political factors at play, official family crimepunishment shows the characteristics of tool of.The ancient Chinese official family crime punishment relations and politicalbasic similar, official family crime is disposed of and accountability to official itself,most are influenced by factors outside the law. The official family crime punishmentrelations and politics mainly limited in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty intotwo periods before and after analyzed the problem according to the contradiction ofdifferent subjects. At the same time, the ancient Chinese is a hierarchical "ritualsociety","Ming Dynasty law" provisions of the families of officials crime, alsoreflects the people because of the consequences of the different hierarchy.In the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Yonglebecause of personal ability, and the desire for power is relatively large, thecontradiction between the relatively large and the liege. So in the early Ming Dynasty,the official family crime implicated officials my behavior is often initiated by emperor.Motivated by the need to consolidate the rule of Zhu Yuanzhang, strengthen personalpower, crime families sometimes used official crime Liwei, warning others, even as atool to hero. Yongle because he is not correct, so he ascended the throne after forthose who have opposed, questioned he ascended the throne, Emperor old Chenretaliated by some officials, Yongle’s family as a tool, the sanction of that group ofpeople. At the same time, Yongle himself because Zhu Yuanzhang mistakes in policybefore the achievements of the Empire, so he don’t want others to win his sons in thesame way as emperor, so he was made a series of legislation in the period in. Similarly,the illegal crime legislation, some restrictions in relatives has become a tool in theprevention of. After entering in the late Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the energy and personalability decreased in the late Ming Dynasty, the emperor has no ability, no longer eagerto bear all the affairs of the Empire to a person. In the Ming Dynasty after the cabinetsystem and number of red system formed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, hasformed a set of complete and effective administrative system, the Emperor himself inthe Ming Empire of the administrative system is reduced. So the contradictions ofpower struggle gradually from the emperor and ministers to minister and Ministerdirectly, or a minister with the eunuch. Senior official political level is higher, thepolitical struggle for their own direct attack often does not work, but for some of hisfamily members are illegal attacks can often play a blow, exceeding all expectationseffect.One of the features of Chinese ancient law is the law of continuity, to enter astable period since the Tang Dynasty, from the "Tang" after one thousand threehundred years, until the end of the Qing Dynasty Chinese law fairly stability. Soofficials families of crimes, they almost completely inherited the relevant provisionsof the Ming Dynasty, but also some new things."Regulations" the refinement of theofficial family crime punishment provisions, make laws in Qing Dynasty officialsfamily crime more detailed, full, this is the law of Ming Qing after inheritancedevelopment. Because of the Qing Dynasty was established by the Manchu minorityregime, a major feature of Manchu Qing provisions relating to in and they. The QingDynasty official family crime also involves the provisions of the relevant ManchuManchu officials, family members can obtain the law favored more than Han Chineseofficials’ families, Man-Han national contradiction is also manifest in the QingDynasty official family crime ordinance. Most of the emperor in the Qing Dynastyemperor compared the Ming Dynasty pays more attention to control of the imperialpower, so the political struggle between Qing Dynasty officials as the Ming Dynastyintense. Even so, the Qing Dynasty official family crime is still showing features oftools, but the official crime among ministers families as enemies tool utilization as theMing dynasty.
