Chapter 17 is in full swing

Du He's words were forceful, loud, his eyes swept around, and he said highly: "Therefore, I feel that the lawyer is definitely not the source of the trouble, although the existence of the 'lawyer' is indeed outrageous. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But which dynasty did not have traitors who rebelled against the country? Is it because of them that they deny all the civil and military generals? That's a bit unfair, isn't it...... The boy felt that the 'litigator' must be severely punished. But those who can do justice for the people and have a sense of public morality should be commended. They should not be implicated because of their prejudice against the 'litigants'. ”

Wei Zheng didn't think much of Du He's opinion, but after listening to Du He's many explanations, he gradually changed his mind, but his thoughts were loose, and it was not enough for him to change his opinion. In view of the excellent systems in front of him, he planned to give Du He a chance, a chance to convince himself, stepped forward, and said: "Little Lord Du, the words are conclusive, and it is indeed not unreasonable. There is no confusion between a lawyer and a lawyer. But for thousands of years, the existence of lawyers has been dispensable...... The evil of the litigant is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It's not easy to change the perception of the public. I don't think it's necessary to do this if there is no real benefit. ”

Wei Zheng ostensibly denied the existence of the lawyer, but the purpose was to get Du He to give a truly convincing reason.

This also breaks the reality, although Du He relied on his eloquence to speak the Tao, but the true meaning of the existence of the lawyer is not obvious.

Wei Zheng opened his mouth, and those who opposed Du He in the court also closed their mouths one after another. Du He is good at sophistry, which has long been a well-known thing in the court. is only more eloquent than eloquence, and there are really few civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty who are as powerful as Du He.

Wei Zheng's words also gave them the opportunity to reorganize their thoughts and eliminate the tense atmosphere in the court.

Du He sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "I remember that Your Majesty once said, 'The king's boat is also, the people's water is also, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat'." It can be seen that the strength of a country is inseparable from the support of the people. If the people of the world are good, the country will naturally be stable and strong. The people of the world are sinned, no matter how strong the strength is, there is only one way to perish, just like the Sui Dynasty......"

No one objected to Du He's words, not to mention that it was Li Shimin's Chrysostom, and this is also the case. From ancient times to the present, most of the ups and downs of dynasties are related to the people. Those who are as powerful as the Sui Dynasty are not because of various super-large actions, which caused a riot among the people, so that the righteous army rose up in all directions, and the second died.

However, most people find it strange, what does this have to do with the existence of lawyers?

I only heard Du He continue: "The meaning of the existence of the law is to better restrain the people and maintain the stability of the dynasty. I don't know if you have ever thought about it, how many people really understand the law and understand the law? In addition to those children of the clan lords, how many scholars will understand the laws of my Datang? No, as far as I know, basically not. What, then, is the purpose of the existence of the law, merely a tool to punish the people when they make mistakes? ”

As soon as Du He's voice fell, all the ministers who knew the inside story, including Li Shimin, looked a little embarrassed.

Du He continued: "Only when the people know the law can they abide by the law, but if they don't know the law, how can they obey it?" In my opinion, the common people are the most vulnerable group and the most powerful. They only seek food and clothing, and they are obedient, but if they are really pressed, their strength is enough to shake the entire dynasty. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said in a yin and yin voice: "Everyone knows these truths, everyone understands them, forgive me for being ignorant, I really don't know what Lord Xiao Du said, what it has to do with the lawyer." ”

Du He smiled calmly: "This eldest grandson is very wrong, not that there is no relationship, but that it is close." He glanced around and said, "From ancient times to the present, ***, countless." Most of these people's rebellions have a source. The reign of Wenjing in the Han Dynasty and the revival of Emperor Xuan were one of the most famous prosperous eras in our Chinese history. But in this prosperous era, there are still a few *** things happening. Why is that? In the recognized prosperous era, why did *** things happen? He asked himself, "That's because of the persecution of profiteers and evil officials, even in the prosperous era of Qingming, no matter how great the country is, it is inevitable that this kind of moths and scum exists." In a remote place far away from Beijing, they do whatever they want, just like the emperor of the soil, arrogantly and oppressively oppressing the people. But the people can only accept it until they can no longer bear it, and rise up to resist...... It's a pity that they didn't live in the late Qin, Han, and Sui dynasties, and they were able to respond to every call. Their resistance is like the waves in the sea, it is not worth mentioning at all, even the local garrison can destroy them. Here, I ask the eldest grandson, is it the fault of the people, or the fault of the profiteers? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned, this question really stumped him: Yu Qing is not guilty of the people, it is really a profiteer and evil official who harms people, but Yu Li, the people are gathering people to rebel, and everyone should be killed and the nine clans should be destroyed. He pondered for a moment before he had an answer: "Both sides are at fault, and the profiteers and evil officials are hateful, but they are not the reason for the people to rebel......"

Du He asked rhetorically: "Then according to the meaning of the eldest grandson, the people should face oppression without complaint until death?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji feigned anger and said, "Lord Xiao Du, what do you mean by this? ”

Du He smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, Lord Eldest Sun, the kid has no offense, he's just trying to find a way." His Majesty is wise and martial, and he is better than Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing in the past, and the Zhenguan prosperous era created by himself is not inferior to the rule of Wenjing and Emperor Xuan. But no one can guarantee that there will be no profiteers and evil officials in Datang. If this incident happens to my Datang, what should I do? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little uneasy in his heart, he knew Du He very well, and knew that Du He was the best at burying traps in debates and tempting others into the urn, and he didn't speak hastily for a while.

Du He saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was cautious and cautious, and his heart was not good, this old fox was too cunning, and he didn't even fall for it, how can this be good?

He hurriedly asked in a loud voice, "I wonder if any of you can answer my question?" "Instead of letting the eldest grandson Wuji see through his intentions, it is better to pull a scapegoat out while he still hasn't thought of the key point.

Listening to Du He's question, one person responded and said: "My Tang Dynasty system is more perfect than the Han Dynasty seven hundred years ago, even if there are such moths, it is impossible to be arrogant for a long time, only the supervision of the imperial history is aware and takes him out." Lord Xiao Du, comparing the example of 700 years ago with the present, it is too underestimated for me to be Datang. ”

Supervising the imperial history is an official position established by Emperor Wen of Sui, after the Tang Dynasty continued to use, it was improved, the rank was not high, but the authority was very wide, supervising hundreds of officials, inspecting counties and counties, correcting prisons, and purging court rituals. When corrupt officials meet them, they are equivalent to meeting Lord Yama.

Du He looked at the person who came, his face was happy, this great god who sent the muzzle of the gun turned out to be the Lu family official, and smiled secretly in his heart: "It seems that these great families are really not a little ...... about their own grievances."

Faced with the officer's questioning, he secretly rejoiced and said, "What this adult said is reasonable, but I don't know if the adult has thought about it." First, the profiteers and evil officials were in front, then the people were affected, and finally the supervision of the imperial history took out the profiteers and evil officials. The supervising imperial history is not an immortal, they are responsible for picketing officials, but I have a lot of resources in the Tang Dynasty, and the officials from all over the country add up to the least. They don't know which official is diligent and honest, and which official deceives the people and does evil. To find out that they are lucky, for more than a month, if they are unlucky, it is a few years. There is no doubt that when the supervision of the imperial history did not find out about these profiteers and evil officials, how much bad influence will these profiteers and evil officials have on my Datang in this month or more? ”

The counselor was speechless.

Du He said loudly: "The litigator here has the meaning of existence, because the people do not understand the law, so they are bullied, and it is difficult to complain. When encountering Qing officials and officials, there is still the possibility of avenging. Once they encounter those officials who connive and shield them, the people can only consider themselves unlucky. When he said this, something suddenly flashed in his mind, and he said with a smile: "Just like a few days ago, the county lieutenant of Xingyang, he has a good reputation, but he can do evil things that he does to cover up and connive, use his power, and fool the people." If there was a lawyer at this time, then the county lieutenant would not dare to do evil blatantly. ”

When he said this, he looked at the counselor with a smile.

The official's face was crimson, but he couldn't say a word.

Slap in the face, this is a naked slap in the face.

Li Shimin was also happy when he heard this, and his eyes were unconsciously fascinated.

A while ago, there were few people in the Manchu Dynasty who didn't know.

The lieutenant of Xingyang County is the Zheng family, and the Zheng family has been based for thousands of years, just like a big tree, spreading branches and leaves, and it is very dense. Because they have incomparable resources, there are many talents in the family, but there will always be individual parasites. They rely on their family situation and often cause trouble.

In order to take care of the glory of the Zheng family, the governor of Xingyang County faced the criminal cases of the Zheng family, most of which were turned into small and small matters, and when he returned home, he severely punished the troublemakers with family law. But in any case, it is a crime. Wu Meiniang grasped this point, and the four major families who stirred it up were panicked.

In fact, the county lieutenant was a very good official and did a lot of good things for the people, but they were loyal to the family, and it was inevitable that they would show favoritism to their families.

The four major families are married to each other, and they are in the same spirit, and Du He's number of Zheng family members is no different from slapping the Lu family in the face.

Du He said solemnly: "This is also the biggest advantage of the existence of lawyers, they can safeguard the interests of the people, maintain the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and can use their own knowledge of the law to warn local officials and profiteers and villains, and safeguard the interests of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Chu Suiliang asked: "Master Xiao Du, this statement made me look at the lawyer differently. But don't forget, Lord Xiao Du, what you said is good, but there are also disadvantages. People's hearts are not necessarily selfless, and you also admit that there are upright lawyers and black-hearted lawyers. The lawyer can maintain the stability of the Tang Dynasty, but the lawsuit is indeed corrupting the law and order of the Tang Dynasty. To admit a lawyer is to admit the existence of a lawyer......"

Du He said: "It depends on the ability of my Tang officials." If a local official can't even deal with a litigant who reverses right and wrong, and let innocent people suffer unjustly, then what ability can he continue to sit in that position? Master Chu thinks, what I said makes sense? ”
