Chapter 623: Asking about current affairs
Feng Chengping knew that if the little emperor insisted on choosing the topic of "Taoism and Political Morality", he would have no way to stop it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Besides, this topic is not "beyond the outline", and it is still in the category of Confucian classics, and it can be regarded as a classic question for trial theory. It's just that the controversy will be bigger, as long as it is a scholar who learns the Confucian classics, who doesn't say that he is a politician and a virtuous person? This is also the disadvantage of Confucianism, always thinking about persuading people to do good, set an example, and make the world peaceful, where have they ever thought that human nature is selfish, as long as there is no law, there is no supervision, these sanctimonious literati, secretly will do anything maybe!
If all the people are Confucians like Zhang Zai and know how to clean themselves, where else does Lu Chengqi use any law? It's okay to just leave the state affairs alone, but is it possible? It is obviously impossible, even if the highest state of Confucianism is that everyone becomes a god and everyone becomes holy, then it is impossible. People divide the good into the evil, the beautiful and the ugly, and the law is to protect the good and punish the wicked. Lu Chengqi believes that the law should not be for the purpose of punishment, and persuade people to do good, it is the bottom line of morality, in short, violating morality is not necessarily breaking the law, but breaking the law must violate morality. Violation of morality does not necessarily have the coercive force to bind your actions or make reparations for them, but the violation of the law must have the coercive force to bind your actions and require you to make reparations for them. In fact, disputes between people, corresponding morality and law will also arise, the essence is also to solve some problems, whether it is morality or law, its common purpose is to regulate people's behavior and resolve conflicts. Morality is an important source of legislative content, but morality is a high standard of behavior, while law is the bottom line for everyone, or human beings.
Does Confucianism pay attention to the law? exquisite, even if Confucius advocated "virtue and punishment", he also advocated governing the country with etiquette and teaching the law with etiquette; Pay attention to the code of ethics and maintain hierarchical privileges; Advocate morality and punishment, and teach first and then punish. Later, Mencius further elaborated on this view, and Xunzi also incorporated the Legalist idea of "rule of law" into the Confucian system on this basis, and proposed the "solemn ritual and heavy law", which integrated the ritual law and made the two complement each other.
But unfortunately, since the Han Dynasty, Confucian children have made it clear that they do not want to obey the law. What they need is supreme status, even on an equal footing with the emperor, and the so-called vertical arch rule is like this. But will it work? Why should the common people obey the law, and you should go unpunished? Therefore, the contradiction between the civil official group and the emperor often comes from this. The emperor is too powerful, so big that the civil official group can't control it, so the psychology is unbalanced. You are the emperor and are exempt from the law; I am a courtier, so I am not exempt from the law? Then why should I only be a courtier, not an emperor? It is precisely because of this that the powerful ministers want to usurp the throne, and the careerists want to rebel, all in order to obtain this supreme throne.
And when the emperor is the supreme of the ninety-five, and his word is nine, the law will often be transferred by the emperor's will. For example, this person obviously committed a homicide, but he was a dutiful son, and he killed people to take his money and save his mother. Eh, in the age of filial piety, this thing can really happen. If the emperor knew, how would he judge? As long as the emperor is not Lu Chengqi, I am afraid that the acquittal and beheading will be five or five.
Why is this happening? That is because the country is established with filial piety, and filial piety is the most important. And the Chinese tradition puts loyalty and filial piety together. If you value filial piety, you will definitely be loyal, so the emperor thinks that you are not guilty to death, and exempts you from capital crimes. But isn't the one who was killed wronged? Wronged, but there is no place to redress grievances, this case was decided by the emperor, do you have the ability to overturn the case? It is equivalent to fishing for the moon in the water, and the world sympathizes with you, but the government does not tolerate you.
Therefore, Lu Chengqi felt this and decided to rely on the law to correctly define what is right, what is wrong, what is worth advocating, and what should be arrested and imprisoned......
It's a pity that most of the people in this era are not interested in the law, and nine out of ten are legally illiterate. Even if you are a reader, you only read the scriptures, and you don't know the law. They don't know what it means to be afraid, so they dare to reach for money. They are fearless because they are ignorant. After all, I have been studying hard for more than ten years, isn't it just to get promoted and make a fortune! But the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, where can you stretch out your hand indiscriminately?
This is why poor scholars are more greedy when they become officials than rich people who become officials. They are bent on getting promoted and getting rich, but how do they know that there is a sharp sword called the law above their heads?
Feng Chengping didn't know what Lu Chengqi was thinking, he only knew that once such a topic came out, his trouble would come. The monarch and the minister were silent for a long time, and Feng Chengping struggled in his heart for a long time before he accepted his fate: "Since Your Majesty has set the topic, the minister can only follow the will." But I don't know what the question is? ”
Lu Chengqi was also prepared, took out a piece of paper sandwiched in it from the notebook, handed it to Feng Chengping, and said, "I have already prepared it, and it is all on it." ”
Feng Chengping looked at it and almost fainted. I saw that on this rice paper, a paragraph was written that was not too long: "I inherit the great unification of my ancestors, the martyrdom of the first emperor, I am ignorant, I have not taken care of reason, I am diligent and far-reaching, and I can't add to it." Sleeps at night, in the third era. I have not yet arrived, I have not yet taught something, there are still many governments, and I am kind or angry. Although the fields are clear, the people are bored. Although the border is secure, troops cannot be withdrawn. The profit has been dredged, and the floating fee is widespread. The army is redundant and slightly trained, and the official is redundant and small. The order of the Xuan is more exciting, and the ritual music is not possessed. It is rare to seal the customs, and the festival of the scholars is to give way. Therefore, the lawsuit has not been settled in Yu and Rui, and the punishment has not been taken in Cheng and Kang. Those who intend to be in power do not take education as their heart, and those who govern the people are mostly bound by grammar. There are many prohibitions, and the people do not know how to avoid them. The narrative is lenient and indiscriminate, and the officials are not afraid. There are many people who are tired, and there are many people who sigh. Since the beginning of the year, disasters have been seen in many ways. In June, the sun is eclipsed. The rain is over the holidays, and the heating is not effective. The rivers burst and the rivers overflowed. Always think about it, and deeply feel it. Change is not a false life, and the fate of politics arises. The loss of the five things, the work of the six things, Liu Xiang's biography, Lu's discipline, how to cultivate the five elements and get their nature? What should be done at four times and follow the order? Non-positive sunshine month, cutting drums to save changes, its combination is in the scriptures? In the middle of summer, on the prisoner's report, its test is in ancient times? The rules of the summer of the Jingshi, the origin of the king's religion. There is no prohibition on the obscenity of hundreds of workers, and the right is not enough. Governing the first place, or said, why is it a Beijing teacher? The government is committing adultery, or saying, you can't scratch the prison city. Investigate the past life and explore the traces of governance. Filial piety is still Lao Tzu and the world is rich. Xiaowu used Confucianism to waste the sea. There are disadvantages, but the treatment is different? The reason for the king's government is in the form of poetry. Zhou Gong's "Pig" poem, Wang Ye also, and the "National Style". King Xuan's Northern Expedition, a major event, and "Xiaoya". Zhou ruled the state with a mound, and Tang ruled with a prime minister. Money Valley, big plan also. Soldiers, the masses too. He Chen Ping's right, is it the internal history of responsibility? Wei Hong's words, it is not appropriate to be the prime minister? The system of money and goods, the weight of the weight; The difference between life and rank, the mutual support of virtual and real; preparation for the accumulation of water and drought; the frontier guards; The law has the name of nine mansions; There are five meanings in the language of music. The rich are strong and the country is respected. Disaster to auspicious, thin from thick. This is the urgent policy of the past life, and the priority of today. Doctor Zi is careful to show that he will not mourn the aftermath. ”
In fact, there are only a few useful words in a large paragraph, all of which refer directly to today's New Deal. For example, "Although the fields are clear, the people are bored." Although the border is secure, troops cannot be withdrawn. The profit has been dredged, and the floating fee is widespread. The army is redundant and slightly trained, and the official is redundant and small. The order of the Xuan is more exciting, and the ritual music is not possessed. It is rare to seal the customs, and the festival of the scholars is to give way. "It means that there is land, but the people don't cultivate it, referring to the south side of the Yangtze River. The troops must not be withdrawn, which means that the Liao State is still a big problem. Water conservancy facilities were built, but it cost a lot. The forbidden army has been trained a little, and the introduction of new performance evaluation standards, the ten-grade official system, has also given redundant officials hope. The rest, all of them are moral, aimed at education. (To be continued.) )
