Chapter 573: Beijing (7)
What kind of reason did he dare to let Fang know that such a small Si Zheng openly scolded Zhu Wenkui, the eldest son of the Ming Emperor, in front of so many people.
Doesn't he know that in the consensus formed at the moment, Zhu Wenkui is already an ironclad prince?
Fang Zhiqi is not afraid of being settled by the autumn queen?
Of course he was afraid.
Fang knows that he is a human being, and he will be afraid of people.
But Fang Zhiqi still chose to stand up at this moment.
Being afraid does not mean that he has to back down and make concessions, just like countless ministers in the tide of thousands of years of history.
Knowing that the loyalty is against the ear, and knowing that the monarch can take their lives with a word, but those courtiers still follow one after another.
That's a spirit.
Although Fang Zhiqi was afraid that Zhu Wenkui would find trouble in the future, he was even more afraid that the life principles that he had adhered to in Dali Temple for decades would be ruined by himself.
As Fang Zhiqi said, Zhu Wenkui is still only a prince, and he has not yet become the emperor of Minglian.
The Great Ming Law and the Basic Law of the Ming Union only granted the emperor one person, who had absolute discretion and the right to formulate, amend, and exempt the law.
As long as Zhu Wenkui does not sit in that position for a day, he is just an ordinary Ming people, just like the entire Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Wenkui's chest rose and fell several times, and finally let out a long breath.
He is only the prefect of Beijing, and he does not even have the right to directly dismiss Fang Zhiqi, the general judge, except for the Dali Temple and the cabinet.
In other words, if he continues to confront Fang Zhiqi, in the end, he will lose face with His Royal Highness the so-called Great Prince.
The cabinet will not support him, and the Dali Temple will not support him.
As for his own father?
This thought flashed in Zhu Wenkui's mind and disappeared.
Zhu Wenkui was even more afraid of letting his father know.
"Then let's follow the process."
Zhu Wenkui waved his hand in disarray, and finally stood up and was about to leave, and then seemed to remember something.
"By the way, who is that Chairman Li?"
Seeing that Zhu Wenkui was not continuing to entangle in this matter, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Fang Zhiqi.
"Oh, he is the chairman of the Hebei Federation of Industry and Commerce, and he moved the business to Beijing two years ago."
Chen Zhao immediately followed and made a brief introduction.
"Is anyone coming?"
Jiang He on the side responded: "I'm here, I'm also on the first floor, I just finished the question, and I haven't left yet." β
Hearing that Chairman Li didn't leave, Zhu Wenkui sat down again and waved his hand: "You all go out, invite Chairman Li up, and I'll talk to him." β
I don't know why, Zhu Wenkui felt that compared with the bureaucrats in front of him, Chairman Li lived a more transparent life.
A group of people also knew that Zhu Wenkui's mood was extremely evil today, and they didn't dare to wait any longer, so they hurriedly said goodbye and left, and Zhu Wenkui was the only one left in the entire conference room.
didn't let Zhu Wenkui wait, and there was a knock on the door after a while.
"Please come in."
The door opened, and the face of the man surnamed Li entered Zhu Wenkui's line of sight.
"Xiaomin Li Yi has seen His Royal Highness Jin An."
is neither humble nor arrogant, and is not humble because he learns Zhu Wenkui's identity, this gesture makes Zhu Wenkui very satisfied.
What he feared the most was that when he saw Li Yi again, the latter would lose his predecessor posture of guiding life when he was in the Animal Taming Pavilion.
"Please be seated, Chairman Lee."
Zhu Wenkui got up, shook hands with Li Yi who approached him, warmly beckoned the latter to sit down, and personally added a cup of tea to Li Yi, who thanked him and said that he didn't dare.
"Please, not for anything else."
Putting down the teapot, Zhu Wenkui said straight to the point: "Just because I am in the Beast Taming Hall, listening to your words, I feel like I have read a book for ten years, I am still young, and many things are not as clear as you see, so I want to ask you for advice." β
"His Royal Highness is not ashamed to ask, he is really open-minded, and his bearing is far beyond ordinary people."
In the face of Zhu Wenkui's politeness, Li Yi humbled a few sentences: "The talent of the contemptible people is really not worthy of the praise of His Royal Highness, it is nothing more than running the rivers and lakes for a few more years in the early years, and seeing a little more people's hearts." β
"The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article, Brother Li is really talented."
Zhu Wenkui sighed with emotion: "Let's just say that in the beast taming hall, it was because of Brother Li's words that I found out that I was so naΓ―ve." β
Zhu Wenkui, who has worshiped the Buddha since childhood, is the most susceptible to benevolence and righteousness, and it is for this reason that when he sees those beasts that have been worn out of his own habits, he will think of his own body and empathize.
Think about it seriously, you will enjoy all the wealth and glory of the world as soon as you are born, and what is there to be dissatisfied.
Even if it's his own supreme father.
Zhu Yunwen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can he be chic at will according to his own ideas?
Each person has different sacrifices and sacrifices because of their different social roles, which is called responsibility.
As the eldest son of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, apart from blindly complaining and trying to ask for more freedom, how could he have paid anything?
"Don't talk about it."
After feeling a sigh in his heart, Zhu Wenkui took the initiative to reveal the previous matter, but asked about the case of the beast taming hall brawl that had just happened, and asked.
"The Beast Taming Pavilion is provoking trouble, a play has caused such a big mess, I want to punish it, but it's a pity that this matter is in the blank area of the law right now, and it can't be dealt with legally, do you have any opinion on this?"
Asking about the government and the people, Zhu Wenkui really wanted to see if Li Yi had any unique views on this kind of thing, or could provide him with some high-level advice.
There are some things that are different from asking officials about them.
Like Fang Zhiqi before, because Fang Zhiqi himself is an official of the General Judgment Division, Fang Zhiqi's answer must be in line with his identity and position, that is, a formulaic answer that conforms to the charter.
Li Yi pondered for a while and then said, "If it is my personal opinion, I also want to dispose of the Beast Taming Pavilion. β
A smile appeared on Zhu Wenkui's face.
But soon, Li Yi's words changed again.
"But I know better that punishing them is a bad thing for us people."
"Why is that?"
"Because if you punish them, it's not idealization, it's anti-idealization, it's revisionism."
Li Yi smiled lightly: "I read an article by Xu Ge Lao before, which talked about how to solve the contradictions caused by social demands and the inability of some systems to be coordinated.
The so-called idealized and non-idealized transformations are mentioned here.
Those of us who are ordinary people, while yearning for an idealized form of life, are actually destroying the birth and growth of an idealized form of life.
Because it is impossible for us, the common people, including the officials themselves, to achieve an ideal state.
Then, it is necessary to have a mature system and a normative system to deal with contradictions, and each of us to voluntarily accept this system and abide by the norms in the system, in order to create an infinite living environment that is close to idealization.
Instead of yearning for it in your head, and standing outside the system at the same time, you keep lashing out and singing bad songs, saying that idealization can never be realized, or ridiculing people with such great ideas.
As an ordinary person, of course, I hope that the rule of law is fair, don't you have a sentence, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
This is the appeal of the common people, and now, as a common person, I hope that you and the yamen will not follow the rule of law and punish the animal taming hall that is obviously not illegal.
You see, this is the thinking of the common people.
Ordinary people are just as selfish, we only want to get what we want and see what we want to see. While hoping for the rule of law, they are undermining or even resisting the rule of law.
This is the constant change of one's position in the ideal and non-idealized because of the human factor.
You dealt with this animal taming hall today, and we applauded and applauded.
But tomorrow, more people who didn't participate in the fight will scold you for abusing the law behind your back because the house is closed and there is no circus to watch.
Contradictions are interdependent, and no one can deal with both sides of the contradiction at the same time, so it is necessary to have a normative system, and the rule of law is only a part of this system.
Anyone who does not want to enter the system is extremely selfish at heart, they just like to judge everything, and their purpose is nothing more than that everything between heaven and earth will be according to their ideas.
Or, to put it more bluntly, to be bold, is to be the supreme one beyond the ethical system, the legal system, the political system, and the state-social system.
I don't have that life, and I still daydream like this. β
At the end, Zhu Wenkui and Li Yi both laughed.
"Please bow down to me."
Zhu Wenkui stood up and bowed deeply.
At this moment, he is sincerely grateful to Li Yi for his answer.
Fang Zhiqi's anger just now suddenly disappeared.
It's not that Fang Zhiqi doesn't give him face, but Fang Zhiqi pulls him, the eldest prince!
The state is a system that encompasses all aspects and fields, and the law is only a part of this system, not all of it, let alone qualified to represent the whole system.
One system, politics is the root, and the other fields are branches.
This is a system that has been or is maturing by Zhu Yunwen himself, has reasonable norms and solves social contradictions, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to destroy this system.
If it weren't for Fang Zhiqila, he Zhu Wenkui would probably be independent of this system!
Where the sky is round, there must be a rule!
If Zhu Wenkui insists on punishing the beast taming hall, he can ask Zhu Yunwen first, and Zhu Yunwen agrees, then he can directly punish him by bypassing the gap in the law.
That's the rule.
But Zhu Wenkui also knew that his father would not agree.
Because Zhu Yunwen will never take the lead in destroying this thriving and maturing national social governance system.
A system that is far more advanced than the two Song dynasties and can definitely stand up to historical practice.
No matter who sings the song of decay.
