The actions of the Du family in Jishui County were inevitably sued by some people to the yamen, and because there were many people who suffered losses, the county magistrate of Jishui County reported the matter to the government office, and the government government reported it to the political envoy Si Yamen.

The common people don't understand the law, and what they think is very simple, these lands are obviously my family's land, and I just want my own things back, why is it illegal?

Du Huaishui's intimidation of these people, these people don't believe it at all!

The agreement was signed and pledged, these lands were originally our lands, and you actually said that I would go back and kill my head?

There's nothing to talk about, so we'll see you in the government.

If you want to judge it all according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, these are hundreds of heads!

Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, how can this law be well enforced?

The province can't make up its mind now, and he doesn't dare to really approve a letter to let the local government take people if he gives him a hundred guts, and the fundamental crux of the sentence that the law does not hold the people accountable is that the local government really wants to cut down these hundreds of people in accordance with the law, and people will dare to rebel!

The political envoy of Jiangxi Zuobu doesn't even have to think about it, if things really get to that point, he will be the first to be robbed and destroyed!

It's better to report to the center and let Emperor Lao Tzu make an idea.

In this way, a small dispute over the ownership of land and property was kicked from the county to Zhu Yunwen's big case!

"It's all rubbish!"

Regardless of whether Jiangxi has the ability to handle it well, this attitude alone makes Zhu Yunwen very angry.

If you can't make up your mind, you have to find him, the emperor, to deal with it personally, and there are more than 1,000 counties in the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for him Zhu Yunwen to deal with it even if he is tired to death.

Anger is angry, in the end, it involves the law as the foundation of the country, Zhu Yunwen can't really deal with it roughly, helping the people to avenge their grievances is to defy the law, and maintaining the law is even more nonsense, Zhu Yunwen would rather abolish the Ming Law today than cut off the heads of these people.

"Let Yang Shiqi come here."

asked Yang Yu about internal affairs, Zhu Yunwen has really developed this habit now.

When Yang Shiqi stepped into the palace with his front foot, Zhu Yunwen couldn't wait to ask: "Do you know about Jiangxi?" ”

Stand and have tea.

Yang Shiqi Shi Ran sat down, but there was no urgency on his face.

"The minister knows."

He is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and it is impossible to hide from him if he passes the local affairs of the general political department.

Zhu Yunwen frowned, and said in a tangled manner: "I am pending now, I don't know how to deal with it for the time being, what do you suggest?" ”

"The Du family bullied the township, ran rampant, and killed their heads and robbed their homes!"

Yang Shiqi spat indifferently: "The Jishui County Order is unfavorable for the first time, causing the people's resentment to boil, kill!" ”

Two consecutive killing words made Zhu Yunwen even more entangled.

Standing in the position of avenging the people, Yang Shiqi's suggestion is right, this Du family committee really deserves to die, Jishui County ordered this waste to even delay this kind of people's livelihood event, which made the local people complain, and it really deserves to die, but from the perspective of the rule of law, both parties are also right.

"The people are greedy for cheap, and the people are also at fault for converting the land deed for the purpose of avoiding taxes."

Zhu Yunwen sighed: "If there is a law that is not followed, then what else do you need to do with the law?" ”

"What is the law?"

At this time, Yang Shiqi suddenly laughed.

"Your Majesty, do you know why there is a law?"

Zhu Yunwen was stopped by this question, and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Qing, don't hide it with me, I know that you are smart, and it doesn't hurt to say anything you want to say directly." ”

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was a little impatient, Yang Shiqi didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore, and opened his mouth to tell it.

"During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties before the birth of the Legalists, there were no laws in the country, and the king restrained the people with morality.

Even when there was no law, the people knew what was right and what was wrong.

Knowing that theft, tyranny, and adultery are all wrong, and that wrong is what cannot be done.

Knowing that filial piety, loyalty, and friendship are all right, and right is something to be pursued.

His Majesty should know the allusion of Zhou Gong spitting and feeding the world to his heart.

Zhou Gongdan set the ceremony, and the ceremony is the predecessor of the law.

The birth of the rite made the people do what is right and resist what is wrong.

Zhou Gongdan's personality is very noble, not greedy for power, dedicated to assisting the young monarch and not daring to usurp the throne, and reprimanded those with bad intentions of the heirs and subordinate officials, so the world admires him very much, restricts himself with his virtue, and educates the people with the etiquette formulated by Zhou Gongdan, so there is civilization and prosperity.

But there are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, some good and some bad.

The rite itself only tells the people what is right and what is wrong, but there is no clear hard standard for rewards and punishments for right and wrong, and it is all determined by the preferences of the king and officials.

And the affairs between the people and the fields, the temple does not know, and no one knows how to punish them, so that those who follow crooked ways easily gain benefits and infringe on the interests of those who are orderly and good.

Xunzi said that the theory of sexual evil, that is, the beginning of human beings, the nature of evil. It is suggested that when people are not restrained, they tend to conform to their desires and do many things that are intolerable to etiquette.

Lewdness, greed, delusion, and abuse are the most common wrongdoings that people are likely to commit, so in order not to make good people become bad people, it is necessary to punish those who make mistakes, and the law is born.

Rites come first, and the law comes last, and there is the so-called etiquette law. ”

Sipping tea, Yang Shiqi continued.

"Therefore, the core of the birth of the law is to protect the interests of the people from being infringed upon, and if abiding by the law is helping the bad people to infringe on the interests of the people, then there will be no good people in the world and all bad people."

Yang Shiqi said this, and Zhu Yunwen understood.

The Du family's behavior is greedy, they use the legal loopholes of the Ming Law to embezzle the people's land, if they blindly abide by the law, it is to help the Du family to oppress the people, how many fields are attached in the world? How many such people are there?

The final result is that the people suffer a big loss, which seems to be a society governed by the rule of law, but it violates the essence of the law.

I still have to do things that I know are wrong, and I have upheld the Fa but trampled on the etiquette.

Is it Lida or Fada?

In later generations, it is precisely because of the basic law, local laws, detailed laws, supplementary laws, interpretation of legal provisions and other aspects of the perfect legal system that can vigorously advocate a society under the rule of law, and do not allow the privileged class to override the law, so that the majesty of the law can be safeguarded to protect the interests of the vast majority of the people in the world.

And what is the current Da Ming?

There are too many loopholes in the "Great Message" and "Da Ming Law", and in this case, blindly advocating a society under the rule of law is not protecting the people, but bullying the people!

Because the people are not educated, they themselves do not understand the law. Those who have culture can easily bully the common people by taking advantage of the loopholes of the law, and in this context, the only result of using the modern concept of the rule of law in this era is to make a mess and mess!

"I see what you mean."

Zhu Yun shook his head: "What the Du family did is clear at a glance is wrong, even if the people break the law, it is the Du family's fault!" What is wrong should be punished, and after the punishment is done, the law will be improved, rather than sparing their crimes and then making amends to prevent the next mistake. ”

There's another time.

The world is taxed, and there will be no anchored fields in the future.

If the Du family spared them because they didn't violate the law now, then the people of the whole world would really rise up.

Yang Shiqi bowed in response.

"Your Majesty."

At this time, the Ming Dynasty does not need the rule of law, it needs the rule of the emperor!

Only when the emperor is greater than the law can he ensure that the development of the country does not deviate, can he ensure the right and wrong, and protect the interests of the people who occupy ninety percent of the world.

What if the law says that these lands belong to the Du family?

As long as Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, does not agree, then there is no legal effect of this law!

"Then I'll give an edict now."

At this point, Zhu Yunwen planned to ask the Imperial Commander to draft an edict, but was stopped by Yang Shiqi's words.

"Your Majesty might as well delay it for a while, so that Jiangxi will not be in a hurry to determine whether this matter is right or wrong."

Seeing Zhu Yunwen throwing a puzzled look at him, Yang Shiqi smiled.

"How many trouble-making fields are there in a corner of Jiangxi? How many are there in the whole world?

Now that the Du family is killed, these greedy people who try to occupy the land will be frightened and return the land to the people.

You might as well delay it for a while, so that the local people will make trouble about this matter, and at this time, Your Majesty will issue an edict to kill all these greedy people who jumped out and return the land to the people. ”

As soon as the Du family dies, those greedy people will naturally be frightened and honestly return the fields, and those people will also feel that it is natural to take their land back, where will they be grateful to the emperor?

When they made trouble and the people's grievances boiled, at this time, the emperor came forward and cut down all the 'bad guys' in the hearts of the people, so that the people could express their anger in their hearts.

Drag it out, and let those greedy people who are waiting and watching jump out in their hearts.

In this way, not only did it eradicate the illegal gates in those places, but also harvested the sincerity of a large number of people.

"The several provinces that have set the measurement of land production are all convenient and close to the center, and when the day of the trouble, send people to rush to the place for 800 miles, and it will only be three days at most."

Yang Shiqi smiled: "Not to mention provinces like Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Henan, eight hundred miles of expedited fast horses can arrive in just one day, as long as the supervision is effective, there will be no major civil disasters, and it can be completely controlled, and now with His Majesty's reputation among the people, no matter how anxious the people are, they will not really make trouble, they will still wait and see." ”

Zhu Yunwen's reputation is here, and the common people are not a last resort, where do they really dare to gather crowds to attack the official office and rebel? Or go into the homes of those landlords and spontaneously organize a fight against local tyrants to divide the land?

They will wait, wait for the imperial court or for the emperor Lao Tzu to give them an explanation.

The more time passes, the more anxious the people become, and the more anxious they are, the more they look forward to it.

Hope of all people!
