Chu Fan's words successfully convinced Fu Youde that as rulers, they could only be relatively fair. Absolute fairness was impossible. Everything should be based on national interests, and the safety of the country should not be ignored for the sake of so-called fairness.

Chu Fan continued, "Weiwu Academy can appropriately relax its review requirements. Students whose families have criminal members can also be admitted to the academy, but they can only start as soldiers after graduation.

After all, no matter how strict the rule of law in the Wei State was, there were still possibilities of wrongful convictions. If an innocent person was wrongly accused, then these people would have a chance to clear the names of their family members.

When they have gained enough military merits, they can apply for a re-examination of the case of their family members. If they are indeed wronged, the court should redress their grievances. This will not only motivate them to fight bravely on the battlefield, but also ensure that the country will not lose useful talents due to a momentary mistake.

Of course, the court must also initiate appropriate accountability procedures, retracing the trial process to identify the root causes of the problem and determine whether someone deliberately fabricated a false case or abused their power for personal gain. This will not only provide those wrongly accused with a chance to redress their wrongs, but also safeguard judicial fairness, deterring court officials from abusing their power too recklessly.

Minister of War Mu Yundian thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too harsh? Soldiers on the battlefield are in danger of death. Many times, they may die on the battlefield the first time they step onto it. Your Majesty, isn't this too harsh on them?"

Besides, didn't Your Majesty just say that we must prevent those who harbor ulterior motives towards Wei from abusing their power to overturn their family's case? If they achieve great military success and become high-ranking generals, and if they harbor resentment towards the Wei court, wouldn't they pose a greater threat to the safety of Wei?"

In fact, what Mu Yundian said made sense. If you join the battlefield as a soldier, your chance of survival is very low. To gain enough military merits to allow the court to re-examine the case of your family members is almost equivalent to escaping death.

And if someone who is already dissatisfied with the State of Wei uses his military achievements to gain a high position, then they will command more troops. If these generals lead the soldiers to mutiny, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At the same time, Chu Fan certainly knew what Mu Yundian was worried about, but this was actually a relatively fair approach. If someone was really abused by power or framed by others, they could see a glimmer of hope after the charges had been confirmed, and this would also prevent the people in these families from going to extremes.

Chu Fan said, "In fact, this is just a relatively fair stopgap measure. After all, I cannot guarantee that all officials in the Wei court are completely honest and fair. There will always be some people who bend the law for personal gain. Even with a law firm, it is not necessarily possible to completely prevent the occurrence of false cases.

At this time, we need to give those families whose members have been wronged a chance to appeal, so that the people in their family can see hope, rather than going to extremes in despair.

As for those who harbored disloyalty towards the State of Wei because the imperial court punished their families, if they could truly achieve great military exploits on the battlefield, even if they harbored resentment in their hearts, they might be able to gradually resolve their hostility and serve the country through the baptism of the battlefield.

In other words, as long as the court gave them enough trust and fair treatment, they would not choose to betray Wei because of the slight resentment in their hearts. You must know that there is a big difference between military generals and civil officials. Civil officials often only make suggestions in the court, while military generals need to fight on the battlefield with real swords and guns. Their loyalty is often forged in the test of blood and fire.

Even though they were dissatisfied with the court, when he obtained such a high official position on the battlefield, it was achieved by killing enemies and making meritorious contributions step by step. In this process, his comrades fell beside him. The heroic souls who sacrificed their lives for the strength of Wei State will also become an inseparable concern in his heart.

That is why I suggest that the Weiwu Academy should appropriately relax the restrictions on the backgrounds of its students. This will only benefit the State of Wei and not harm it."

When Chu Fan said this, the expressions of the people present were very surprised. His Majesty is worthy of being His Majesty. What he considers is much more thoughtful than themselves and others.

Mu Yundian said, "Your Majesty is indeed a modern-day Sage King. He considers things much more long-term than we do."

Chu Anping and others also echoed the compliments. After all, they really didn't expect that a university could have so many operations.

However, only Chu Fan himself knew that he had just watched some more short videos about history when he was on Blue Star. After coming to this world, Chu Fan felt that his memory was getting better and better, especially after practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra and becoming a warrior, he could remember many fragments of memories on Blue Star.

The idea of ​​linking the redress of unjust cases with military merit came from someone on Blue Planet's research on the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty. In "Research on the Military and Political Archives of the Ming Dynasty", it was mentioned that the combination of military merit and the redress of unjust cases can cleverly transform social contradictions into national defense momentum. Some people have done research and found that under the military household system of the Ming Dynasty, about 12% of the military merit families used similar mechanisms to appeal for grievances.

The promotion method based on military merit from a soldier involves a screening process. It has been recorded in historical materials that under a similar system during the Northern Wei Dynasty, only a few generals were eventually promoted to positions that could threaten the central government.

In fact, these policies can be summarized into two points:

The first point is psychological threshold control: through the high elimination rate on the battlefield (the death rate of recruits in the first battle in the era of cold weapons is about 15-20%), it is ensured that those who finally obtain the right of review must be people with excellent willpower.

The second point is the mechanism of binding interests: the vested interests (such as troops and titles) that a general gains upon promotion naturally mitigates the urge for revenge. The case of Ban Chao's family in the Eastern Han Dynasty shows that the probability of a general continuing to rebel after receiving military merit and titles is less than 5%.

Minister of Personnel Quan Zhengcheng spoke up, "Your Majesty's proposal strikes a delicate balance between idealism and realpolitik. Its core lies in making the process of judicial justice dynamic and conditional, maintaining institutional rigidity while allowing for political flexibility. It truly exemplifies the creative application of imperial rule of law. I deeply admire it."
