Etiquette!

The core values of ancient Chinese feudal society are also the foundation for maintaining the existence and ruling order of the state. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if it is the Mongol Yuan and the Manchu Qing, it is a terrible affair to be observed!

It is the truth that determines moral standards and rules that determine how people behave.

Just like now, once an unfilial son is discovered, he will lose his head at least and kill his entire family at worst, and his children and grandchildren, from generation to generation, will fall into the terrible hell of Sikong Chengdan, eternal life, and no hair will be allowed.

Hair is their only standard!

Also like in the future, the clan gentry, relying on etiquette to eat people, often soaked in pig cages.

Looks savage, doesn't it?

It seems that this ritual is simply not enough to support capitalism.

But, the opposite is true.

Liu Che remembered the capitalist world of the West in later generations.

Do you think it's advanced?

That's just the horror scene you didn't see when it was born.

Moreover, until the new century, Western laws and systems, as well as values, were still maintained by the old medieval moral concepts.

For example, the judicial system of the West, including its entire legal system, is actually based on the religion of the Christians.

Even the so-called voting election began with the election of the pope by the Christianity.

If you watch TV and movies regularly, you will find that everyone, including judges, juries, and witnesses, must first put their hands on the Bible and swear: In accordance with God's will, the testimony (decision) I have made is true and valid, and worthy of my heart.

This is the West's proof of freedom.

And in China, don't play this set.

I haven't played this since ancient times.

What do the Chinese play?

Etiquette!

Is what you're doing in accordance with etiquette?

If it doesn't work, the emperor's labor and management will also wait to be sprayed to death.

As for ordinary people, if they are stigmatized as disloyalty, filial piety, and injustice, they are basically hopeless.

Different societies determine different paths and different values, which will inevitably lead to different cultures, and the differences in cultures and societies will inevitably bring about drastic changes in the entire ecology.

It's like in nature, in different ecosystems, there are different creatures.

In the African savannah, the lion is the master.

In North America, the jaguar is king.

And in Asia, the tiger is the big brother!

But whether it's a lion, a jaguar, or a tiger, the essence is the same - you have to eat meat to survive!

The only difference is that their prey is different, and their lifestyles are different.

Liu Che stared at the empty hall, as if in that empty place, a three-headed monster was striding towards him.

Every skull of this monster was stained with blood, and under the powerful and powerful claws, there were many bones.

Every one of its heads is so terrifying and terrifying.

After exhausting all the myths and legends of the past and the present, all the strange stories, I can't find a monster more terrible and crazy than it.

On the indescribable skull, the mouth of the blood disk has been opened, and all the sins of the world have turned into acid in its mouth, and all the good and moral corrosion has been wiped out.

It slowly walked to Liu Che's side, and then ......

The monster that could destroy the world meekly lowered its three heads and waged its tail like a pug.

The corners of Liu Che's mouth showed a slight smile.

This is also the inevitable difference between the East and the West.

In the West, the weak imperial power and the scattered lords and aristocrats have never been unified, so they can be kings of capital, and their countries can even be 'conglomerates disguised as states'.

And China, from ancient times to the present, has been the world of imperial power.

Shangshu said: Dream of sleeping at night, to do things alone.

The Book of Poetry says: The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

Therefore, in China, all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are just pets of power.

In China, it is always power that controls capital, and capital wants to ride on the heads of those in power?

Hehe......

To put it bluntly, in China, even the lives of the capitalists are the private property of those in power, and they still want to be powerful?

Dream on!

Swords, guns, swords, halberds will teach you how to be human.

It's like no matter how strong the capital of the West is, it doesn't dare to challenge that God, nor does it dare to say that it doesn't believe in God.

The great commanders of the Mi Emperor dynasties, who dares not to pretend that he is a devout disciple?

Look at the monster slightly.

Liu Che reached out and stroked its hair.

Each one was stained with blood and tears, and there were even souls wailing in it.

That is, it is called capital, which is destined to pursue profits; If it is called a clan, it must be domineering; If it is incarnated as a ritual, it must be cold.

I come, I see, I conquer, I destroy, I build!

With Liu Che's fiddling, its three giants lit up countless blood-red compound eyes.

Each eye symbolizes its desires and demands.

It's just that these eyes are still hidden in the haze, and they can't really be seen.

However, there are so few, and now Liu Che has recognized them.

Greed, cruelty, conquest, annexation, and enslavement......

These are the characteristics of the future of that monster of the West.

However, in the case of this monster in China, the expression of these characteristics is likely to change.

And most importantly......

Now that the monsters of the East are already hatching.

Well, wait for it to be born.

Then, this world, this earth, will be dominated by it.

Because, this earth can only accommodate one such monster!

Once it is born, it will absorb the nutrients of the whole world in order to grow and develop, and eventually squeeze everything out, leaving other competitors stillborn.

It's like the monster of the afterlife.

Only it exists.

The rest has long been scattered and turned into saprolite...... Even the nations and cultures it possesses have died out.

That's the domineering thing about this monster.

I am the only one, and I can survive.

The earth in later generations is the most conservative region, and it has also invaded and controlled it.

With a slight wave of his hand, the monster turned into an illusory bubble from Liu Che's eyes and disappeared.

He stood up and walked outside the hall to gaze at the world.

Liu Che knew that he had to put a few shackles on this monster, lest it destroy everything because it was too powerful.

Because he knows very well that, in fact, most of the wars in later generations are behind it because of capital.

This was true in World War I, and so it was in World War II.

If it weren't for the mushroom suppression of the world, I'm afraid the three wars would have started a long time ago.

"Summons the court lieutenant and the imperial history of the book to me!" Liu Che gave a faint order: "Inform Tingwei that I must listen to all the laws and regulations of the 'public notice' and 'non-public notice' in the Han law since Empress Lu, and ask the imperial historians with books to explain the story of every change to me......"

"No!" When Ji Di heard this, he hurriedly bowed down, but his heart was full of uneasiness.

Because, in the Han Dynasty, the emperor never wanted to listen to the stories of others, especially the officials who held the relevant functions, for no reason.

Once this was done, it meant that the emperor intended to reform it.

In the name of historical stories, adjust them.

In the current Han Dynasty, the person who controls the entire judicial and judicial system, and even the right of judicial interpretation, is the Legalist.

In recent years, legalists who have mastered the judiciary have begun to revise laws and regulations unscrupulously in order to conform to their own values.

These things done by the Legalists are not very moving.

Usually only a few words of the law are changed, or even not at all, but only the order of the words.

Even, just add a punctuation mark to make the difference.

However, the consequence of their doing so is that the entire Han law has become more and more uncomfortable until now.

And now, what the Son of Heaven wants to listen to is such things as 'public notices' and 'non-public notices'.

This made Ji Di really panic.

You must know that in the Qin and Han dynasties, public and non-public lawsuits were two judicial terms that were implemented throughout.

The former is roughly equivalent to the public prosecution of later generations.

Accusations are made by the state and the government.

But the latter is not a civil lawsuit.

Rather, it is what the law prohibits from litigating.

For example, the notorious "son sues his parents, his concubine sues his husband, and his slave and maid sues his master, and he does not listen to him." ’

Children sue their parents, wives and concubines sue their husbands, and slaves and maids sue their masters, and the government will not accept them.

But in fact, the relationship between the public and non-public lawsuits is far from being as simple as the literal sense of the word.

As an unprecedentedly prosperous and detailed Qin Law, which claims to be in charge of even ordinary people making friends, it is not so simple and rude, in fact, the entire system is very detailed, to what extent? Not only is the scope of application of the office notice and the non-office notice clear, but also the non-office notice can be converted into an office notice under certain special conditions.

For example, if a son sues his parents, according to the provisions of the Qin Law, if the father has indeed committed a crime and sues the public, then the child has the responsibility to report and expose, if he can't report and expose, then I'm sorry, he will be sitting!

In the Han Dynasty, because of the rise of the old Huang school and the decline of Legalism, the laws have been fine-tuned.

Just like what Legalists do today, change the text and adjust the order, so that the law conforms to their own values.

Therefore, in fact, today's Han law is the result of mutual compromise between the old Huang school and the Legalists.

The greatest achievement of the old Huang politicians in the past few decades was to abolish the two weapons of murder in the Qin law, and at the same time implement the form of small government, rest with the people, and avoid interfering in the domestic affairs of the people.

And today, when the old Huang school is beginning to decline, Legalism is about to rise.

The old Huang faction will inevitably defend his political achievements to the death.

And the Legalists have long planned to counterattack.

Confucianism has also recently stepped in, and in the judicial circles and public opinion circles of the Han family, the recent Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been in full swing.

Many times, they only argue about the use of a word in the Law.

It's like a joke about how many ways the famous fennel character is written.

It seems ridiculous to be stubborn, but in fact, what is hidden behind it is the game of discourse and values.

And now, the Son of Heaven suddenly summoned the court commanders and the book-bearers to listen to all the legal adjustments involving the 'public notice' and the 'non-public notice' in the past of the Han Law.

What's to be done?

Ji Di didn't know, but he knew that a big change was just around the corner! (To be continued.) )
