Chapter 798: Killing One and Saving a Hundred?
Wu Zheng stepped forward with a smile and stretched out his hand to the paper that Zhang Huangyan was writing in front of him.
I didn't want to, Zhang Huangyan snatched it, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Wu Zheng didn't mind, turned around and sat down on the chair without speaking.
Zhang Huangyan finally couldn't help but ask: "Even if you are the prince, but this is my family, you can't be so casual, right?" ”
Wu Zheng said: "I call the hostess of this house sister-in-law, and the young master of this house calls me godfather, do you think I can do it at will?" ”
Zhang Huangyan was in a hurry, jumped up from the chair again, pointed at Wu Zheng and said, "You...... You're a scoundrel! ”
"You're right. I'm a bummer, what's the matter? Wu Zheng said casually.
Zhang Huangyan stomped his feet, walked back and forth a few steps, and still stopped in front of Wu Zheng, "Lord Wang, unless you take back your fate, otherwise, Huangyan's official resignation is decided." ”
Wu Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "What's the matter, have you found your next home?" If you can't fight to the death of the Qing court, you won't vote, Yongli in the south is too far away, and it is inconvenient to drag your family with your mouth, so there is only Ying Tianfu. ”
Zhang Huangyan said angrily: "Huangyan can go back to his hometown in Yinxian County." ”
Wu Zheng shook his head and said: "When you and Lord Qian raised troops, the family business was all sold, and there was no place for you in Yinxian County. What, you want my sister-in-law and my godson to drink the northwest wind? ”
Zhang Huangyan was stunned.
Wu Zheng shook his sleeves and said: "Reason is not loud, Zhang Cangshui, you and I might as well discuss the merits in front of Qi'er...... Do you dare? ”
"Why don't you dare?" Zhang Huangyan is too easily excited.
"Happy, Brother Xuan, please." Wu Zheng laughed and said.
Zhang Huangyan said angrily: "Lord Wang, please first." ”
"No, no, Brother Xuan is the master, how can there be a reason to dominate the guests, or Brother Xuan Zhu invites first."
"The prince's status is noble, so naturally the prince should be invited first."
Wu Zheng's face suddenly straightened, and he said, "Okay, then I'm welcome." ”
Wu Zheng suddenly changed, which made Zhang Huangyan stunned, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while, so he was silent.
"In today's dispute, what Brother Xuan and I are fighting about is nothing more than handling the case in accordance with the law and not showing favoritism. Right? ”
“…… Right! ”
"Am I favoritism, then? I have never met the yellow camel, I don't know if I am fat or thin, and there is no trace of involvement in blood kinship, so I can't talk about this favoritism, right? ”
Zhang Huangyan pondered for a while, raised his head and said: "Although the prince is not involved in the crime, but the yellow camel is a soldier and a soldier under the command of the prince, so he is related to the interests of the prince." ”
Wu Zheng paused and said, "I understand what you mean, you mean that I want to amnesty the yellow camel for the sake of the prestige of the army or the hearts of the soldiers." ”
"Yes!"
"But I control the morale and prestige of the army, for myself, and who is the ultimate benefit?"
"It's ......."
"Maybe you'll say it's for me...... But what I have done in the past four years, can you understand that I am just for myself? ”
Zhang Huangyan was speechless for a while.
Wu Zheng said: "I'll make an analogy, kill one person and save a hundred, how do you choose?" ”
Zhang Huangyan frowned and said: "Naturally, I saved a hundred people, but the prince chose to save one." ”
Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "No, I also chose to save a hundred people." It's just that Brother Xuan was confused by the appearance of the moment, which person do you think the yellow camel represents? No, no, the yellow camel represents a hundred. ”
Zhang Huangyan thought for a while, and shook his head: "No, the yellow camel is full of people, and the crime is extremely heinous, how can it represent a hundred people?" ”
"If the yellow camel can't represent a hundred people, according to your meaning, the killed Zheng Rong represents a hundred people?"
Zhang Huangyan was stunned for a moment, and then retorted: "Zheng Rong is evil, naturally he can't represent a hundred people, but the Zheng family's family is not evil, they can represent a hundred people, because the Zheng family's family is a common people and a good citizen, and they don't deserve to die for their crimes." ”
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "How can you be sure that the Zheng family is not evil?" Is it just a local government document? Well, even if the Zheng family is not evil, they still can't represent those hundred people. ”
Zhang Huangyan said coldly: "What do you mean by this? ”
"Compared with the survival of tens of millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing army went south, and people like the Zheng family surrendered when they heard the news, can this represent those 100 people? It is people like the Yellow Camel who really fight for the country. Can you say that it is the Zheng family that represents the hundred people, and the yellow camel represents that one? ”
Zhang Huangyan's brain was a little confused by Wu Zheng's words, he frowned and thought, Wu Zheng didn't urge, and waited quietly.
Zhang Huangyan thought for a long time before he raised his head and said, "What the prince said is assuming that under the premise that the Zheng family's family is cleared, how did the prince conclude that the Zheng family was cleared?" Well, even if the Zheng family really descended to the Qing Dynasty before, then their life and death should be decided by the government, not that the yellow camel can be lynched. Since there is a law, it must be according to the law, and the prince today is replacing the rule of law with the rule of man. ”
Wu Zheng was a little stunned, as a traverser, he asked Zhang Huangyan to popularize the law for himself, which is indeed a bit absurd.
After thinking about it, Wu Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Since we have talked about the Fa, let's talk about the essence of the Fa first." You don't deny that the law is made by people, and any kind of law is more or less mixed with the interests of the person who formulated it. ”
"I agree! But since the law has been enacted, it should be obeyed by the whole people! ”
I agree with that. But if the law doesn't blame the public, what do you mean? ”
Zhang Huangyan couldn't cope for a while.
The law does not hold the public accountable refers to any kind of group behavior that violates the law, and once enough people participate, the law is useless.
To put it simply, for example, rebellion, once it becomes the climate, is it still called rebellion?
If you get power, it will not be a rebellion, but a founding of the country.
Is the law of the former dynasty still useful at this time?
Seeing Zhang Huangyan's silence, Wu Zheng continued: "The law is born in accordance with the interests of the majority of the people, so it can only be effective if it represents the interests of the majority of the people. ”
Zhang Huangyan suddenly spoke: "Since the prince also thinks that the law is in line with the interests of the majority of people, it is even more necessary to sentence the yellow camel to be executed." His behavior has already caused a very bad impact on the people, with such a murderous and wicked person on his side, how can the neighbors live in peace? ”
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "The law is indeed in line with the interests of the majority of the people, but the problem is that the law is not formulated by the majority of people, but by the smallest part of the people, and it is a fallacy to let a small number of people formulate a law that conforms to the interests of the majority of the people." And in the end, it is often the majority of people who abide by the law, and those who regard the law as nothing, are the smallest part of the people who make the law. For example, dignitaries, relatives of the emperor, and ...... Emperor. ”
Zhang Huangyan was once again shocked by Wu Zheng's words.
Wu Zheng's words refreshed his philosophy and outlook on life.
The Fa, which he regarded as sacred, was not bullshit in Wu Zheng's eyes.
Zhang Huangyan stared straight at Wu Zheng, his mind in confusion.
