Since Zhang Fei took up the position of assistant teacher, he has aroused the anger of many scholars.
This is simply unreasonable.
When the legal system law came out, there was a lot of discussion in the outside world.
There was a chorus of shouting and cursing.
Later, Fu Bi believed that his legal system was a school of thought that could be ranked among the Hundred Schools of Thought, which caused even more controversy. Fu Bi's status, coupled with this incredible evaluation, immediately caused public opinion to explode.
Afterwards, the Censorate came on the scene and pushed the matter to a climax.
However, few people really know what the law of the rule of law is.
Because only a few people really understood those lessons. The ones who had the most thorough understanding were Fu Bi and Wang Anshi, but they would not talk about it outside.
Those old masters are similar to the students in that they only have a superficial understanding, perhaps even worse than the students. After all, Confucianism is deeply rooted in their hearts, and they just cannot get over some problems.
So, all along, I have been just following the crowd.
...
...
What is it?
I really can’t explain it clearly.
finally!
The Mingshi newspaper published by the official bookstore today gradually unveils the mystery of the legal system.
And two copies are sent at the same time.
Zhang Fei didn't dare to make any arrangements as to who should be sent first, Sima Guang or Wang Anshi, so he could only send both copies together.
The appearance of these two newspapers immediately shocked many people.
Because the political significance is too strong.
At present, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi represent the two major camps in the court. They both endorsed the law of legal system at the same time. Even a fool knows that the court will definitely take big actions next.
They had already heard that Fu Bi was the most staunch supporter of the rule of law, so they hurried to find Fu Bi to find out the reason.
Facing everyone's inquiries, Fu Bi also said truthfully: "Yes, the government has decided to revise the Song Dynasty Criminal Code based on the law of the legal system."
Hu Zongyu said: "Is the government's decision too hasty? Regardless of whether the law is good or bad, Zhang San has only attended four classes, and it is difficult to understand why he changed the ancestral rules based on this."
The others nodded as well.
This is a little too fast.
Unbelievable!
Fu Bi nodded in understanding, and said, "Don't be too anxious. The government is not trying to change its ways. It's just a try.
Initially, the laws of the Song Dynasty were simply divided into two categories, with some serious crimes, such as murder, theft, etc., classified into one category. At the same time, some lighter crimes, such as disputes over money and property between the people, were classified into one category, and the penalties were removed to protect personal interests first. "
After that, he saw that everyone was confused, so he explained: "For example, in the fighting law, if the injury caused is not serious, the government will not impose punishment, but emphasize compensation for the injured.
But if the case is serious, criminal penalties will be imposed, but compensation to the injured will also be required, so the penalties will be much lighter than before."
"Doesn't this sound like the idea of prudent punishment and less punishment?"
"Yes! If that's all, it can't be considered as establishing a school of thought, right?"
After hearing this, everyone felt that this was not difficult to accept. In fact, many ministers currently suggest reducing the punishment, but they also felt doubtful. If it were that simple, it wouldn’t have caused such a stir!
Fu Bi replied: "Although this sounds simple, it is unprecedented since ancient times. Compared with being cautious in punishment and reducing punishment, this is to eliminate punishment, and the court must formulate a series of compensation systems."
"But we heard that the Law of the System will also amend the Law of Etiquette?"
"Well, for now, I think we won't change it. We have to try it step by step. And it's not about making any changes, but just separating the rituals from the law. My current consideration is to publish a book on rituals and laws. In some cases involving rituals and laws, we can refer to the rituals and laws and make the most appropriate judgment.
In fact, if you look through the cases, you will find that many of the judgments that people talk about are only based on references to etiquette and law, rather than blindly following etiquette and law as principles.
The law of the legal system is just to institutionalize this kind of situation. But you really don't need to worry too much. The court will fully consider your suggestions. If you think it is inappropriate, you can just raise it directly. "
After hearing this, everyone felt a little relieved.
Establish regulations offices in the two prefectures.
"Master, I think there is something mysterious hidden in the article written by Sima Xueshi."
Lu Huiqing held a newspaper and asked Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi asked, "What's the secret?"
Lu Huiqing said: "If we follow his opinion, the court's adjustment of tax laws will be hindered by the law of the rule of law."
Wang Anshi laughed and said, "You only see one side, but not the other."
Lu Huiqing asked, "What do you mean, Master?"
Wang Anshi said: "The premise of the legal system hindering us from adjusting the tax law is to make everyone pay taxes according to the law. If this cannot be done, why should it be hindered? If it can be done, it will be beneficial to our reform."
At this point, he sighed, "But I think it's hard to succeed. Without establishing authority, it's nothing but wishful thinking to convince people with reason!"
In fact, he did not feel very happy about this matter. He still agreed more with the Legalists.
Lu Huiqing nodded and said, "Actually, I think so too, but if that's the case, why is my mentor still so keen to participate in it?"
Wang Anshi smiled slightly and asked, "Have we been doing very well recently?"
Lu Huiqing nodded, and suddenly realized, "Master wants to use the law to divert their attention."
Wang Anshi smiled and said, "Now they are all focused on the law of the rule of law and have ignored our new policies. If they really legislate according to the law of the rule of law, its impact will be no less than my new policies. At that time, those pedantic people will be forced to fight on two fronts, and our pressure will be greatly reduced. Therefore, we must support the law of the rule of law. Anyway, we are just talking about it verbally, and the specific implementation is done by Fu Gong and Sima Junshi and others."
Zhang Fei didn't dare to go out today. It went without saying that he would be stopped as soon as he went out to the street, so he simply hid at home.
He had to wait until the two rougher articles were published before he could go out. Those two articles explained the issue from the perspective of the common people.
"Xiao Ma, this chair is for sitting, not squatting. Can't you just sit there properly?"
Zhang Fei slapped Ma Xiaoyi, who was squatting on a chair and gnawing on his elbow.
Ma Xiaoyi tilted his head and wiped his mouth: "Third brother, this chair is cold."
"You squat in the summer."
"I sweat sitting in the summer."
Ma Xiaoyi said aggrievedly.
"you."
Zhang Fei shook his head helplessly and sat down. Suddenly, he saw Cao Dongdong, who was sitting on his left, staring at him. He couldn't help but say, "Yanei, please don't look at me like that, okay?"
"hey-hey.."
"Don't be silly, what's going on? Are you here to play mahjong with me again?"
"Of course not."
Cao Dongdong smiled flatteringly and said, "Zhang San, the two of us are here to study."
Zhang Fei had just picked up a glass of wine. When he heard this, his hands shook violently and he spilled most of the wine. He put down the glass and asked, "What are you asking for?"
"To study!" Cao Dongdong said seriously, "Zhang San, you must teach me the law of the rule of law."
Zhang Fei wondered, "Is Yanei interested in this?"
Ma Xiaoyi said, "Third brother, you don't know that everyone outside is talking about your law and order, and we don't understand it, so we can't get a word in. It's really annoying."
Zhang Fei was even more curious: "When did you ever want to mingle with those scholars?"
Cao Dongdong slammed the table and said, "I don't like to bother with those scholars. The key is those singing girls. They are also fascinated by the law. You don't know that your student Ye Zuqia has been very popular in Deyue Tower recently. The singing girls all sit at his table."
"Is it true?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.
"Why would I lie to you?"
Cao Dongdong said: "It's not right for you to give this good thing to outsiders instead of our brothers.
At present, women are as concerned about the legal system as men, because they think that the legal system is very beneficial to them. This is especially true for singing girls, who need more protection than those ladies from wealthy families.
However, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang's articles both discussed personal rights and interests, and they were also wondering whether the legal system would be divided into genders.
How can I let my brother enjoy this kind of thing? Of course, I will enjoy it all by myself. Zhang Fei blinked, "If I go by myself, I will be able to have many girls."
Ma Xiaoyi wiped his mouth and said, "If Third Brother goes, he will not only be surrounded by girls, but also have to squat on several girls."
"How many squats?"
Zhang Fei took a deep breath. This sentence was so vivid.
Just then, Li Si walked in and said, "Third brother, Pan Lou just sent us a letter."
As soon as the post was handed over, it was snatched away by Cao Dongdong and opened immediately.
"Yanei, you..."
Zhang Fei was speechless.
Cao Dongdong opened his eyes wide and said excitedly, "Zhang San, Ye Feiyan invites you to Panlou tonight for a chat."
Zhang Fei looked confused and asked, "Who is Ye Feiyan?"
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Ye Feiyan is one of the best singing girls in Tokyo, and her dancing skills are the best in the capital. Brother has been pursuing her for a long time, but unfortunately she is not talented enough and won't even let me in."
Zhang Fei swallowed. No wonder everyone loves reading these days. It really has many benefits!
"Xiao Ma, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Cao Dongdong glared at Ma Xiao, then asked Zhang Fei anxiously, "Zhang San, are you going?"
Zhang Fei was startled, and shook his head, "No! It's so cold, I don't want to go out."
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Third brother, Ye Feiyan rarely invites others actively, maybe... hehe."
Zhang Fei glanced outside for a few times and whispered, "I'm getting married soon. She sent an invitation to my house. Can I go? Anyone with a good brain should ask the shopkeeper to invite me to taste tea."
Cao Dongdong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, yes, you shouldn't go now. Wait until you are married before going. You should teach me the law of the law first, and I will go on your behalf."
Of course I can't have this kind of thing, and you shouldn't want it either. Zhang Fei's eyes turned, and he patted Cao Dongdong on the shoulder and said, "Yanei! It's better to be the head of a chicken than the queen of an ox."
"What do you mean?"
Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei in confusion.
Zhang Fei asked, "You have been a deputy superintendent for so long, have you ever submitted a memorial to the government?"
Cao Dongdong asked: "What's the point of submitting a memorial to the emperor? Will I be scolded? I don't want to do that."
Zhang Fei sighed and said, "It depends on how well the memorial is written."
"I'm only slightly stronger than you. You can't do that. You can't do that."
When talking about the latter part, Cao Dongdong shook his head. He had never been reported to the emperor or been beaten before, so what could he do about it?
Zhang Fei's mouth twitched, and he said, "I'll give you some pointers, and I guarantee you'll make a splash."
Cao Dongdong glanced at Zhang Fei suspiciously, "Can you tell me first?"
Zhang Fei said: "Just find someone to write this, we police are willing to defend the legitimate rights and interests of the people for the government. In this way, you, Cao Yanei, will become the spokesperson for the rule of law. What else is there to learn? Ye Zuqia is nothing."
The spokesperson of the rule of law? Cao Dongdong's eyes flashed when he heard it, and he looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously, "Zhang San, you are not lying to me again, are you?"
"I promise this time, wait a minute. Where do you get this 'again' from?"
"You know what's going on."
"What do I know?" Zhang Fei snorted, "I'm just suggesting that you do this. If you don't believe it, just forget it and just pretend I didn't say anything."
Cao Dongdong said, "That won't do, Xiao Ma, you have to be a witness. If anything goes wrong, you have to testify for your brother. It was Zhang San who instigated me to do this."
"Yanei, you are too shameless."
“I learned that from you.”
Cao Dongdong stood up and said, "Xiao Ma, let's go, let's go find Xiaochun to write a memorial."
Having said that, he pulled Ma Xiaoyi away with his mouth full of grease.
"This brat is getting smarter and smarter."
Zhang Fei picked up the post on the table again, rubbed his chin, and struggled for a while, "Forget it! Eat the one in the bowl first."
