Chapter 882: Discussion of the Ruling Decree
Gao Xiaoji stood up and arched his hand: "The soil is a mountain, and the wind and rain are prosperous; The water becomes an abyss, and the dragon is born; Accumulate goodness into virtue, and the gods are self-satisfied, and the sacred heart is prepared. His Majesty rose from the northwest, all the way to capture all the way to the king, the establishment of the country, the wind and rain, the true dragon is self-generated, and now the benevolence is extensive, Dahua will surpass the previous dynasties, creating a situation of 800 weeks and 600 years of Han. ”
Luo Zhaoyun nodded, these words of praise, just listen to them, if you take them seriously and float well, there may be problems.
"Nowadays, new policies and new laws are being pushed in various places, and in many remote places, the implementation of civil education has not been opened and is slow. In addition, in the land of the middle source, the laws, orders, grids, and formulas of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the previous dynasties have been deeply rooted, and many ideas and rules have to be changed for a while, and the effect is also weak. Luo Zhaoyun asked about the rule of law and the new policy.
It has been implemented for a year, but the feedback from various places has not been very effective. The main reason is that the northwest frontier areas are not suitable for Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, and the rules and regulations of the rule of law, and they have little effect in different regions such as Longxi, Beidi, Tongguan, and Lantian.
Xin Gongyi said: "The ancients said: There is a chaotic king, but there is no chaotic country; There is a rule of people, but there is no rule. Yi's law is not dead, and Yi is not in the world; The law of Yu still exists, and Xia is not the king. Therefore, the law cannot be independent, the class cannot be independent, and those who gain it will survive, and those who lose it will die. The law is the end of the rule; A gentleman is also the origin of the law. Therefore, the minister proposed that we should pay attention to the cultivation of the virtue of the gentleman, give courtesy, and promote education, and over time, the world will not be far away! ”
After Luo Zhaoyun heard this, he smiled secretly in his heart, this is the way of the gentleman often admired by Confucianism, which means that the rule of law is unreliable, the rules are dead, and only by using more gentlemen to implement and implement, the rule of law and regulations, new policies, etc., can be effectively carried out, advocating educating people and cultivating the way of Confucianism as the foundation.
The specific explanation of these remarks is that the law cannot play its own role, nor can it be carried out spontaneously by analogy according to the law, and with people who are good at governing the country, the law can play an effective role, and without such people, the law will lose its effect. The rule of law is the foundation of governing the country; A gentleman is the foundation for the implementation of the legal system.
At this time, Du Ruhui stood up and said: "The minister thinks that the rule of law and rules are fundamental, and they cannot be transferred by people. Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, the way of a gentleman, the cultivation of a matter is by no means an overnight thing, even if the Sui Dynasty has many economic people, but it can not meet the needs of various places. Since ancient times, laws and decrees have been in line with the times and can be accepted by the people, and as long as officials are selected, they do not favor favoritism or bend the law, and they can be maintained. The success of the Shang Dynasty reform lies in winning the trust of the people, being beneficial to the country, and conforming to the national conditions of the Qin State, so that it can dominate the princes and finally unify the six countries. ”
Xin Gongyi shook his head and said: "But don't forget, the Qin State burned books and pit Confucianism, abandoned Confucianism, and implemented cruel officials and tyranny, so that the tragic national fortune of the second death is worth reflecting on." If future generations mourn and do not learn from it, it will also make future generations mourn again! ”
Du Ruhui naturally did not give up his point of view, and continued to retort: "Xin Shangshu, at this time and that time, we are also intensively studying the way of Confucianism, and we are also studying other economic developments, just relying on one kind of thinking and viewpoint, it is difficult to govern such a vast land and courtiers, plus the north and south of the Central Plains, the border Rong land, the situation is different, so we need many regulations suitable for the time to stabilize the place. ”
When Luo Zhaoyun heard this, he felt that what Xin Gongyi and Du Ruhui said made sense, but Du Ruhui represented the thinking of young people and was closer to the current situation.
In fact, the thoughts of the hundred schools of thought and the sayings of the major Confucians are very reasonable in many places, and even the conflicting ideas are also reasonable. When using it, it depends on the environment, period, occasion, etc., and it cannot be dogmatic or rigid, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
Next, Changsun Chi, Gao Xiaoji, Xiao Yu, Wen Boyan and others all supported Xin's view of justice; The eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Wei Zheng and others supported Du Ruhui's views, forming a confrontation between the stubborn faction and the Shaozhuang faction.
This has nothing to do with party struggle, but different ideas at the ideological level, and they are all understood from the heart, but two groups of the DPRK and China have been formed.
Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, he had roughly understood, what the two groups of people said had some truth, and each learned some to form a more comprehensive rules and regulations and implementation methods, which is the solution to the problem. Fortunately, his thoughts come from the modern era, and there are more than 1,500 years of historical concepts, and the statements of these people, mature or not, can be discerned, if they become other kings, and do not transcend this era, it is really difficult to make a decision every time, which side to believe.
"I have already understood the views of all the Qing families, and they all have a certain truth. The ancient sages once said well: The bright lord is in a hurry, and the dark lord is in a hurry. Obtain the talents to govern the country, the wise and ambitious, and conspire for great things, in order to determine the country's security, which is also the reason why you gather here, the world's talents are all into my Dahua, so Dahua is the most hopeful to achieve great causes......"
Luo Zhaoyun's words made the civil and military ministers standing in the middle of the court feel comfortable and useful, and after being praised by the emperor like this, although they were calm on the surface, they also felt complacent in their hearts.
"I believe that in the development of governing the country, we should follow the flow and learn from the views of a hundred schools, and we cannot just follow the words of one school, and the development of various fields should not favor one over the other and be too extreme. I intend to carry out education, economy, and the rule of law at the same time, complementing each other, although at present Dahua is also implementing it in this way, but the intensity is not enough, the regulations are not clear enough, and the action is too small, because the localities do not care, and they are still restoring the economy according to the old concept, and do not reflect the characteristics of Dahua to bring forth the new. ”
"Therefore, I made the first decision today, which is to lift the curfew system, and plan commercial blocks in Chang'an City, encourage night markets and commercial activities, of course, taxation and registration and operation, all require the imperial court to set up relevant departments for industry and commerce, quality inspection, environmental protection, fire protection, etc., to review business qualifications, product quality, there are laws to find, there are orders to follow, and strengthen the ...... of the Western Regions countries to come to China."
Luo Zhaoyun put forward some of his own views, asked the people in the political hall to study the specific operation departments, and the people in the Hanlin Academy to study the rationality and necessity of these things, and finally sorted out the main points of view, and handed them over to the Zhongshu Province to draft an edict, each doing its duty and containing each other.
The ministers of civil and military affairs feel more and more that His Majesty is more open-minded than them, can tolerate many points of view, form a more comprehensive mode of thinking and concepts, and lead them in front of them.
