"Revenge for relatives has been a matter of course since ancient times. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the Linzhang School Palace, Ram Gao explained his concept of "great revenge" to everyone.

"Wang Hai is in the Yi family as a guest and there is Yi's concubine, there is Yi's king Mianchen killed Wang Hai, so Wang Hai's son Shangjiawei borrowed a teacher from the Hebo clan to kill Youyi, destroy it, and then kill Mianchen."

"In the year of Zong Zhou, Qin Zhong was attacked and killed by Xirong in Xiinuqiu, and his son Qin Zhuang succeeded to the throne and gave birth to three sons. A generation later, when the Duke of Qin Zhuang died, he should have been succeeded by his eldest son, Shifu, but Shifu said: 'Rong killed my grandfather Zhong, and I would not dare to enter the city unless I killed King Rong'. So the father gave up the throne to his younger brother Qin Xianggong, and led his troops to attack Xirong. ”

For three generations, blood revenge was a ritual that regulated the lives of the world, and it was also a moral law that guided people's choices at that time.

The Spring and Autumn period is not far away, and this ancient custom has been preserved, so at this time, it is also the period when the phenomenon of revenge is most frequent.

The most typical case is the revenge of the Chu people.

Several of the characters involved in Wu Feng's assassination this time: Wu Zixu, Bo Yao, Qu Ao, their ancestors or themselves, all participated in the revenge of blood relatives.

Qu Ao's ancestor Ziling (Qu Wuchen) was killed by Ling Yin and Sima of the Chu State because his clansmen were killed by the Chu State, so he helped the Jin State to plot Chu, and finally let his two enemies die of exhaustion. In order to avenge his father and brother, Wu Zixu's deeds of entering Wu and Chu are even more well-known, and there is no need to repeat them. And Bo Ya's grandfather Bozhou Li was killed by Chu Jun, and Bo Ya also went to Wu State to cooperate with Wu Zixu to plot with Chu, and finally whipped the corpse with him to take revenge......

There are so many precedents, Wu Feng, the son of Wu Zixu, will pick up the road his father walked back then and kill the enemy, so it is naturally logical.

"I once went to Yedi and asked Confucius about the way to avenge his parents, and Confucius replied: 'As a son, if his parents are unjustly killed, he must sleep on a straw mat and use a shield as a pillow, and he cannot be an official yet, and he will not forget this revenge day and night, and if he meets an enemy on the street, he must take out the weapon he carries with him and kill the enemy immediately!' In this way, he will not be a son of man in vain. ”

"Bo Yao took revenge on King Chuping and King Chu Zhao because of the enmity of his grandfather's clan, destroyed the capital of Ying, whipped the body of King Chu, and molested the wife and daughter of King Chu. Today, Ya was also killed by Zixu's son for murdering Wu Zixu, how can there be a reason in this world that Bo Ya can take revenge, but others can't find Bo Ya for revenge? Even if he is the prime minister, he is also to blame, so why complain? ”

With a sound of approval, Ram Gao ended his elaboration.

Speaking of which, not only Confucius, but also the whole world, even the Chu State, which was almost destroyed by revenge, from the official to the commoners, all highly respected the revenge of blood relatives, thinking that it was a natural thing, and Shangjiawei, Ziling, Wu Zixu, and even Bo Yao when they were young, their strong will and the spirit of revenge that did not reach the goal were sympathized and praised by public opinion.

However, there are always exceptions, although Ram Gao and most people in Yecheng agree that Wu Feng's behavior is very satisfying, and he should not only be acquitted, but should be commended. But Dali Temple does not recognize this principle, since ancient times has been a matter of course, in front of the law of Zhao State, but it is not recognized......

The legalist officials of Dali Temple headed by Deng Xi resolutely stood on the opposite side of private revenge, and they pointed to the clause in the "Zhao Law" that "those who fight for private affairs will be punished according to the severity of their punishment" to show the people who shouted grievances in front of Dali Temple, believing that Wu Feng's actions had violated this law and caused the crime of intentional homicide, and should be severely punished according to law.

When there is a conflict between social public opinion, the people's inherent concepts and the provisions of the law, it is the hostility between the legal department and the entire Yecheng society, and a wave began to sweep Yecheng, and the call for Wu Feng to cry out for injustice is getting louder and louder.

As a result, Dali Temple fell into an embarrassing situation, and they wanted to be sentenced according to law, but they were opposed by the entire Zhao people. Although they told themselves that this was right, as soon as they went out, they were despised by the people with white eyes, saying that they were cool officials who were traitors and cruel to the pillars of the country.

Fortunately, Zhao Hou seems to have been standing behind them, and he was not forced to put pressure on Dali Temple to release people due to public opinion. But strangely, Zhao Wuxian did not suppress public opinion, and seemed to be happy to sit back and watch its development......

……

Yecheng is turbulent, but there is calm in Changle Palace.

"If you don't let people speak, what's the point of opening the Linzhang School Palace? It is better to directly ban academics, burn poetry, books and miscellaneous studies, and all the horses are good. ”

In the palace of Riju, when Prince Heng came to inquire about this matter in a little anxiety, he saw that Zhao Wuxian was still dealing with other things in a hurry, and just said lightly: "The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and the widow can not be the king of Zhou You." Sometimes, the accumulated resentment of the people needs to be properly discharged, anyway, the people of Yecheng are targeting the judgment of Dali Temple, not the law itself, let alone the Zhao Guo Office, Deng Xi can still hold on, what are you anxious about? ”

"But ......" the prince has been deeply influenced by the law since he was a child, and this incident, he is on the side of Dali Temple, but according to the current development, everyone is afraid that Dali Temple will not be able to hold on, and the forced verdict will cause disappointment and dissatisfaction among the people.

He put down the simple book, raised his head and said with a smile: "Let's see how the next wind and waves will blow, the more the truth is debated, the clearer it is, this time the conflict between the people and the law seems to be a big crisis, but in fact, it is also a good opportunity to popularize the law in Yecheng and even the entire Zhao country." You must know that in the school palace, there is more than one voice......"

……

On the seventh day after Wu Feng's revenge case, the male sheep and others, as in the past, stood on the square by the Zhangshui and explained the reasonableness of Wu Feng's revenge to the passing scholars.

More than ten years after its establishment, the school palace has moved from grass creation to maturity, in addition to the "study of natural objects" and "the study of craftsmen" and "the study of name law" that were greatly respected by Zhao Hou, there are also other schools of thought that have thrived. After Zi Zhang, Zeng Shen and others entered the Xue Palace, Confucian Confucianism took root on the banks of Zhangshui, Zeng Shen later went to Langya with Zhao Cao, but Zi Zhang stayed here, he tried to combine the ideas of Confucius with what Zhao advocated by the State of Zhao.

However, Zi Zhang's Confucianism has not yet become famous, but took advantage of this Wu Feng revenge case, and the junior of Gongyang Gao, a Confucian disciple, rose strongly with his "great revenge" theory. Because this concept is in line with the character of Zhao Ren's generous and tragic songs, it is in the limelight for a while, even if you are not a follower of Confucianism, you will have a strong sense of identity with this concept, after all, no matter where you are, the elders of the family will tell them that the revenge of blood relatives must be avenged.

However, there were not as many people gathered in front of the ram as in the past, for not far from them, a young student, silently pasted several large sheets of rough yellow paper with black letters written on the slate.

"Revenge?"

Looking at the big headline on the paper, and reading the rest of the content, you can see that this man is in opposition to the ram.

"The boy Simon Leopard is not knowledgeable, but he has some different opinions about the revenge case of Wu Feng than Ram Gao."

Ximen Leopard, a former child on the outskirts of the city, has grown up and entered the Linzhang School Palace to study, although he is young, he is not stage frightened, and after the crowd gathers, he begins to explain his views.

The counterattack of the study of the name and law began......

……

Kong Qiu said that pillowing weapons and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge is the filial piety of a human child, and the ram Gao regards this matter as the truth. It is true that killing enemies for the revenge of parents is indeed a rule since ancient times. However, now Zhao is no longer the three generations of the kind of oral words as the law, to the clan rules as the law of the era, the law of the country is cast at the gate of the Dali Temple on the tripod for people to consult, but where there are grievances, the law of the country will preside over justice, and there is no need to retaliate in private. ”

"According to Zhao's law, the murderer should be punished, this is the law of Zhao, whether it is Yecheng or county, law enforcement can not be different. Wu Feng killed people to avenge his father, although it is understandable, but if Wu Feng is found innocent because of the so-called filial piety, so as to abolish the national criminal law and use it as a criterion for handling similar cases, Zhao Guo will definitely have many disasters. It is important to know that everyone has children, and children have parents, and if there is a conflict in the street over a trivial matter, and the murder is killed, and afterwards the blame is exonerated under the pretext of loving the parents, and the law cannot punish them, evil deeds will sprout unscrupulously. If the public law is obstructed because of filial piety, a person who is truly good will not do such a thing, and if the public law is used to accommodate private feelings, the country will fall into chaos. ”

"When the sage monarch starts to do something, he must take into account the consequences, since the monarch rules the country by law, Dali Temple will not be forced by public opinion. According to the boy's view, Dali should strictly enforce the national law, deal with Wu Feng in accordance with the criminal law, and never let him get away with the crime......"

"This son is good, he said all the things we didn't have a chance to say!"

In Dali Temple, after reading "Revenge", Deng Xi was very happy, and after enduring it for a few days, their name and law faction finally made their own voice. After more than ten years of Zhao Wuxian's vigorous support, the study of name and law has also produced a lot of talents, but there are really not many people who can really take the lead like Deng Xi, but this Ximen Leopard is the leader of the younger generation.

"It would be nice if there were more people who speak for the law of the land."

Deng Xi hopes that this "Revenge Proposal" can open up the verdict of Dali Temple and let the people of Yecheng understand their difficulties a little.

However, it backfired, this turmoil was destined not to end so simply, the day after Simon Leopard spoke, next to the slate where he posted "Revenge Proposal", another freshly baked Di newspaper was also pasted, and it was written "Refutation of Revenge"! And the author is none other than Ram Gao himself.

Later generations concluded that it was this case that opened the prelude to the millennium of Fa Confucianism......
