Chapter 58: Pedancy
Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but sigh slightly, there is indeed a great risk in the inheritance of young sons, but this is a custom spread by the Mongolian people, just like the "elder system" is a consistent custom of the Han people, the Mongolian people have always lived in pursuit of water and grass, and the children will leave the family to stand on their own when they grow up, find their own land and then multiply, and when the young son grows up, the parents are older and need to be taken care of, so they leave the young son to keep the family business. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info farming people are different, the Han people have always lived together for several generations, the family gathers in one place, and the older brother needs to manage the brothers with the power of age, and the inheritance system of the Han people is an effective inheritance system in line with the reality of feudal society. Why elevate this and belittle that, as if the Han people's elder system is the best way to inherit, if this is the case, there will be no one who is not the eldest to be the emperor, isn't the Xuanwumen change the best example.
Li Xian obviously didn't agree with Yu Fengchen's words, but he didn't speak anymore, as if he knew what kind of character Yu Fengchen was.
Gao Chi asked, "What does Jin Jishan think?"
"The minister thinks," Jin Jishan said unhurriedly: "What Yu Banyu said is not unreasonable, and the inheritance of the elder is indeed natural and understandable." Chen vaguely remembered that in the Song Dynasty, there was a will for the youngest son to inherit the family property, which was considered to have been reported to the government, but after the death of the old man, it still did not count, and the family property was still handed over to the eldest son. β
Yu Fengchen nodded with satisfaction, but Jin Jishan changed his words and said: "But Yu Banyu also has a little bit of consideration, for example, all the family property was not earned by the old man when he was alive, but by the capable younger brother's business, it is necessary to support the elderly, and it is a little strange to support the elder brother, I have only heard of the elder brother supporting the younger brother, but I have rarely heard that the younger brother has to support the elder brother." β
Gao Chi nodded and said, "Then how do you think it should be broken?"
"The minister thinks," Jin Zhong smiled slightly: "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, this family has no title, only family property, and the sons will share it equally." The brothers each took half of itβ"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Yu Fengchen say angrily: "How is this feasible! Isn't it messing up the righteousness of the elders and the young!" Gao Chi also shook his head and said: "If it can be divided equally, the previous judgments of these township elders and county orders will be five or five points." β
"I haven't finished talking yet," Jin Zhong said: "If my brother is not convinced, it's okay to take it all, but if you want to support your younger brother and his family for the rest of your life, you can't do it for a day less." β
Gao Chi and Li Xian looked at each other, and couldn't help but haha: "Your verdict is really wonderful!"
"Sir's judgment is really good," Zhang Zhaohua said: "But the brothers don't listen and continue to complain, what should I do?"
Jin Zhong said: "I would like to hear about the princess and concubine." β
"Where do I have any high opinions," Zhang Zhaohua pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm just sad for their old father, it's better not to have a child like this." If it were up to me to judge before the court, I would have given them fifty boards each on charges of unfilial piety, and made them kneel before their father's spiritual seat to reflect, and then they would sit facing each other, and let each of them call the other's name, and if within a hundred voices, one of them showed remorse and emotion, and the other was indifferent, I gave the whole property to the man who knew repentance. If both of them are indifferent, it can be seen that there is no filial piety in their hearts, and the righteousness of brothers, rather than handing over the family property to one of them, it is better to confiscate all of them. β
After Zhang Zhaohua said this, everyone was dumbfounded, and then Yu Fengchen opened his mouth and asked, "Then what if both of them show remorse?"
"Isn't that the case closed," Zhang Zhaohua said with a smile: "I feel remorse in my heart, I don't think it's worth it, I have figured out the brotherhood, and I know that this family property is not worth the family affection, so what else do they sue!
After a long time, Jin Ji Shancai congratulated: "Niangniang's decision is a decision that really fits people's hearts!"
"Actually, Jin Jishan's judgment, I think it's also very good," Li Xian also said: "Let the person who gets the family property support another person for life, or you can give all the family property to the elder brother first, and see what the elder brother does to the younger brother after getting the family property. β
Everyone nodded, and Zhang Zhaohua also smiled: "They all say that the law is not merciful, and some say that the law is nothing more than human feelings, but I think that heavenly principles, laws and human feelings do not conflict, because under normal circumstances, human feelings are actually consistent with the law, human feelings are legal principles, and what the law pursues is often condemned by human feelings, so the two complement each other, and if you can understand this, you are a competent prison breaker and prison listener." β
Everyone praised it, but Yu Fengchen shook his head, as if he still felt that his younger brother should not disobey his brother.
Zhang Zhaohua suspected that he was an old-fashioned pedant, pedantic and boundless person, so he looked at him coldly and asked: "Yu Banyu seems to have insight, I also have a case here, I want to hear Yu Banyu's thoughts." β
Yu Banyu didn't notice what Zhang Zhaohua meant, so he asked her very politely.
Zhang Zhaohua said: "There is a family, this person's mother is seriously ill, and the doctors invited to say that there is no cure, but this person is not reconciled, and when he heard that the sacrifice to the gods should be sincere, he killed his three-year-old son and wanted to ask for his mother's recovery. May I ask Yu Banyu, how should I decide?"
"There is such a filial son in the world!" Yu Banyu's first reaction was to praise it: "It is to follow Guo Ju's burying child and seeking longevity for his mother." This kind of filial piety should be a good example to be heard by the world. I wonder if this is the case with the ruling?"
Zhang Zhaohua sneered: "In September of the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, the General Administration Department reported to Rizhao County, Shandong, that Uncle Jiang killed his three-year-old son to worship Daiyue due to his mother's illness, and the book was submitted to the imperial case. β
This was in September last year, and Ren Hengtai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, understood it even more decisively, saying: "A filial son should serve his parents with all his respect for his parents in his daily home, serve with joy and happiness when he is serving his life of food and clothing, and take care of his parents when they are sick, so that he can be said to have fulfilled his responsibility to his parents as a child." It is not very common for people to cut off their thighs and not see their parents getting better, so they cut off their own livers, and if they don't see any better, they kill their own sons, which is against the principles of heaven and kills people, and there is nothing worse than this. Especially for people like Jiang Bo'er, it can almost be said that they cut off their own sects, which is the biggest unfilial piety. If he is really ignorant, then there is no way, let him do what he does, but such a person cannot be among the list of filial piety. β
Ren Hengtai's report was approved by the emperor, who thought he was doing a good job, and waited until after the February New Year to make the case known to the whole country. This champion of Hongwu for 21 years is also the first champion in China to be commended by the Holy Decree to build a champion workshop, and the book has just been read. So let's take a look, if you want to say that the ancients were stupid and filial, it is not true, although there are real cases of Jiang Boer mutilating his own son, but the official reply is a very positive three views.
Yu Fengchen frowned, he didn't expect that his thoughts would run counter to the emperor's--Didn't the emperor rule the country with filial piety? Didn't the emperor say that "a non-filial son is not a loyal minister"?
When Zhang Zhaohua saw his appearance, he seemed to be really puzzled. She doesn't have the strength to ridicule anything, this is a typical example of reading books to death.
