Chapter 422: Good Intentions
"Sun Changxi, you are in charge of the criminal law, and the lonely king asked you, what is the fundamental purpose of the criminal law?"
Facing Feng Yewu's inquiry, Sun Changxi lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up at Feng Yewu's eyes, and replied: "The criminal law is fundamentally about restraining the people and about the country's plan. ”
What Sun Changxi said was indeed reasonable, but Feng Yewu did not directly comment on whether it was right or wrong, but turned his head to look at Wei Nanqi on the side, and asked the same thing.
"Master Wei, what do you think is the fundamental purpose of the criminal law?"
Wei Nanqi heard Feng Yewu ask himself, so he hurriedly bowed his waist and kowtowed and replied: "The minister thinks that what Lord Sun said is the root of the criminal law, but it is not the foundation of the criminal law. ”
Sun Changxi was not a little angry because Wei Nanqi was in front of Feng Yewu and his own expression was unclear, on the contrary, it was precisely because the two were too familiar that Sun Changxi became extremely serious after hearing about it, and listened very carefully to Wei Nanqi to supplement his shortcomings.
"Oh? What is the basis of criminal law? ”
Feng Yewu looked at Wei Nanqi with interest and asked.
After thinking for a while, Wei Nanqi said: "The criminal law is naturally based on restraint, supplemented by severe punishment, but the reason why the criminal law is established is to promote people to be good after all. ”
Hearing Wei Nanqi's answer, Feng Yewu nodded with satisfaction, although he turned to look at Sun Changxi and asked, "Lord Sun, do you understand what Lord Wei said?" ”
Sun Changxi listened to it for a long time, but he didn't seem to understand.
For a while, Sun Changxi didn't know whether he should nod or shake his head.
Feng Yewu knew that Sun Changxi still didn't understand at this moment, and Wei Nanqi's words were actually a brick throw, Feng Yewu slowly stood up from the table, and they all came to Sun Changxi and Wei Nanqi, and said:
"In this world, if it is separated from the criminal law, there will be chaos, and justice will not exist, but justice is an invisible thing between heaven and earth, how can it be the criminal law framework created by later generations?"
Feng Yewu said calmly, the heroic meaning in the words was no less than the spirit of the kings of the past dynasties.
"Sun Changxi, although what this wolf head has done is harmful to heaven and reason, do you really think that you can take it down without blood? Do you really think this prison can accommodate it? ”
Hearing Feng Yewu ask like this, Sun Changxi couldn't help but think about it, but he showed a wry smile.
As Feng Yewu said, with the current positioning of the imperial court's ability to take down the wolf's head, I am afraid that if you want to take down the wolf's head, it will inevitably consume a lot of people.
In the end, it is difficult for anyone to determine what the final outcome will be.
Besides, with a strong man with the strength of a wolf's head, even if it is a prison, I am afraid that it will be difficult to completely control him.
"If such a person is really a huge threat, why does the Lone King need you to bear it from the Criminal Department? If the threat is really huge, it will definitely raise an army to fight, but it is not, why is that? ”
Feng Yewu knew that Sun Changxi was upright, if he told him directly, he would have to put a little bit of a horse on the wolf's head, or whatever, I am afraid that Sun Changxi would have a gap in his life, although he didn't say it, after all, he was a king, and he was a courtier.
But Feng Yewu didn't want Sun Changxi to have biased thoughts because of this, he needed such a righteous and rigorous minister, and the Ye Dynasty also needed such a person to be like a rope hanging from a beam, to warn everyone that this court also has its own fairness and awe of justice at all.
"Because, the sacrifice is too great, and something is not worth it."
Sun Changxi understands this, which is why he doesn't catch all the bad guys in the world, because catching the bad guys is also a matter of dividing, in terms of priority, size and importance.
"This wolf head, if he can really be persuaded by Lord Wu, wouldn't it be a good thing for the Lone King Ye Dynasty? The ancestral tomb of the Ye Dynasty royal family, in the eyes of King Lone, is more miserable than the heavenly prison, and it is even more difficult to enter and exit than the heavenly prison. ”
Feng Yewu watched Sun Changxi begin to accept this proposal, at least his eyes began to flicker with thought, so the corners of his mouth also showed a satisfied smile.
"Then Your Majesty, what if the wolf's head is unwilling? Won't we even have a chance to capture him? ”
Sun Changxi always felt that Feng Yewu was gambling, but it was very likely that he would lose.
"The Lone King asks you, what will happen if the wolf head is unwilling?"
Feng Yewu raised his hand slightly and stood sideways, looking out the window, and said.
After thinking for a while, Sun Changxi said slowly: "If the wolf head is unwilling, the biggest consequence may be that Lord Wu's life is in danger, but if Lord Wu dies because of this, then the wolf head may not appear in the Ye Dynasty in this life." ”
"Then what if Lord Wu survived under the wolf head, but the wolf head still didn't agree?"
Feng Yewu helped Sun Changxi tell all the situation, but as a result, Sun Changxi was asked to say it himself.
"If this is the case, the wolf head may also flee in the wilderness, but in this cold sky, I am afraid that there will be no whereabouts."
According to Sun Changxi's analysis, no matter how it is calculated, this cold sky Xuanbing is a thing that has been lost in vain, and at the same time, it may also take Wu Duxue's life, which is also what Sun Changxi does not understand.
"The cold sky Xuanbing of the lonely king is not for the wolf's head, but for Wu Duxue."
Facing Sun Changxi's eyes, Feng Yewu slowly exhaled a breath, looking at the sky in the distance, and seemed to sigh in his heart.
Feng Yewu's words made Sun Changxi a little confused, and he didn't understand what Feng Yewu meant by saying that this was for Wu Duxue.
Wei Nanqi on the side took Feng Yewu's words, and explained to Sun Changxi: "This time, I'm afraid that Wu Duxue should be extremely resolute, so resolute that he is already going to use the name of the vote, Wu Duxue, including the Wu family, has made a great contribution to the Ye Dynasty, but he is facing no successor, this time no matter whether he wins or loses, His Majesty will not lose." ”
"Even if you lose that cold sky Xuanbing, won't you lose it?"
Sun Changxi obviously hasn't figured it out yet, and is still in a circle in his own logic.
"It's not lost, it's replaced."
Wei Nanqi looked at Feng Yewu pointedly, even if Wei Nanqi was not there that night, but he obviously guessed what happened that night.
For the Wu family, they have paid so much sweat to the Ye Dynasty, not to mention the credit, just hard work is enough to exchange for such a piece of cold ice.
"You have to understand that Your Majesty handed over the cold sky Xuanbing not to the wolf head, but Lord Wu, so it depends on how Lord Wu chooses."
Hearing this, Sun Changxi reacted slightly, and also understood Feng Yewu's good intentions.
Feng Yewu looked into the distance, and when she was sorry for the morning dew, she silently blessed Wu Duxue in her heart, and only hoped that Wu Duxue's choice was correct enough.
