Calling Lingbi to his side, Concubine Rong asked tentatively, "I heard that you have been very close to Lord Lu recently." ”

Lingbi said, "Uh-huh. ”

Rong Guifei said tentatively again, "I heard that Lord Lu ...... Rejoice you? ”

Lingbi smiled, "It's me who rejoices Lord Lu." ”

Hearing Lingbi say this, Concubine Rong couldn't help but glance at her, and couldn't help but start ideological education with a serious tone, "The Lu family has been in the army for generations since the former dynasty, and I don't know how many men have died on the battlefield. There are so many princes and grandsons in Beijing, why did you fall in love with Lord Lu? ”

Lingbi thought for a moment and smiled, "Lord Lu is handsome, Yunwen Yunwu." ”

Knowing that Lingbi began to run the train with her mouth full again, Concubine Rong couldn't help but interrupt her, "Lingbi, the princess general, is definitely not a good match." ”

Lingbi smiled, "I don't believe it. ”

Rong Guifei could only sigh when she saw that Lingbi was stubborn.

It was dark, and the saint had not come to Gantang Palace for many days.

Before the autumn fan was cold, Nagato was lonely.

The mother is more expensive than the son, so why not the son is more expensive than the mother.

This kind of hopeless deep palace life has finally come.

The next day, Concubine Rong was still asleep and half-asleep, and Okra hurriedly woke her up, "Niangniang, Niangniang!" ”

Concubine Rong opened her eyes and asked in a daze, "What's the matter?" ”

I looked at it and leaked it even more, and it was only past five o'clock in the morning.

Okra's face was full of panic, "Lu Xiuyi and the prince are arguing in the court!" ”

Rong Guifei woke up and hurriedly got up, "What's the matter?" ”

Okra shook his head, "Xiao Manzi said that today the court discussed how to deal with more than 100 people in the Yu Party of Zhang Changbei, and the saint asked Lu Xiuyi how to deal with it, Lu Xiuyi Daoyi and the three clans, in order to set an example, everyone did not speak, the saint was groaning, and the prince stood up against it...... Later, the more he talked about it, the more he deviated, and he actually rose to the Nanzhao national policy, and the saint's face changed......"

The prince actually interceded for those who didn't matter at this juncture?

Concubine Rong only felt that the world was spinning, and she was dizzy, and she couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

Xiao Yue rubbed his eyebrows slightly, and the rearrangement of the deployment of troops and generals in recent days made him exhausted, and he didn't want to simply discuss the case today, because the prince's words made everyone start to talk about each other.

Xiao Yue saw that the incense had burned out, this time he did not announce the dispersal of the dynasty, he looked at the people under the stairs coldly, he flexed his fingers, and knocked the back of the chair twice without hurry, without hesitation.

Although everyone was discussing the excitement, they heard two glimpses of tapping in front of them, and immediately fell silent, and stood with the wat board in hand, and sat still, ready to listen.

This knocking sound means that the Holy One is about to speak.

The front row of important ministers in the back stood up, shut up immediately, and returned to everyone.

Within a few seconds, the Chengtian Temple was silent, and the sound could be heard when a needle dropped.

Xiao Yue groaned, still with a warm smile on his face, "I also listened to a rough idea." Analyze the problem and find out the main points in order to make a decision to solve the problem. It's better to make it clear today. ”

"Minister Lu, you speak first."

Lu Xiuyi was contemplating his eyes, and when he heard the Holy Lord asking him to speak by name, he had to speak.

Turning sideways slightly, facing the prince, Lu Xiuyi arched his hand, "Offended, prince." The minister asked, what is the law? ”

Seeing that Lu Xiuyi was so arrogant that he dared to question the prince in public, Zhang Zhenghe, the prince who was already in his sixtieth year, had a gloomy face, which was simply a naked question of his teaching level.

Zhang Zhenghe was about to speak, but the prince in front of him didn't think he was angry, and bowed to Lu Xiuyi slightly to show respect, "Deaf, punishment." Flat as water, so from the water, so the straight one goes, from the go. The Dharma is the program of the world and the instrument of everything. Books are in the books, in the government, and in the people. ”

(Note: 灋 is traditional Chinese calligraphy)

Lu Xiuyi nodded. What the prince said was very good, and he gave full explanations and elaborations from the words and meanings.

The law is a tool that is explicitly promulgated by the government, so that the reward and punishment system can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and those who are prudent and law-abiding are rewarded, and those who violate the law are punished.

The prince has solid theoretical knowledge, however, he is very bad at using this tool.

Lu Xiuyi said, "What the prince said is extremely true. Criminals, laws, laws, orders, codes, formulas, qualifications, edicts, edicts, departments, comparisons, and examples are all laws. To put it bluntly, law is the embodiment of the will of the ruling class. The prince is benevolent and does not advocate harsh punishment and strict laws, and the ministers can understand. ”

The minister can understand that the minister swears to defend the prince's right to speak, but the minister will never agree.

Xiao Jun said, "Lord Lu, use political decrees to guide the people, and use punishments to restrain the people, so that the people can be exempted from crime, but they have no shame." If morality is used to guide the people, and etiquette is used to restrain the people, then the people will be ashamed, correct their mistakes, and walk on the right path. Lone believes that moral guidance should be applied to educate the people, rather than simply harsh punishment. ”

Seeing that the prince was soft and benevolent, and still insisted on his opinion, the punishment doctor Zuo Guang arched his hand and spoke, "Prince Mingjian." A person with high morals is not virtuous in form, so he is virtuous. People with low morals cling to formal virtue, and therefore have no actual virtue. The original intention of the law was to lead the people to goodness and open up the net, but this also caused many traitors to exploit loopholes in the law. The law is the minimum morality, if it can't even do the minimum, what else can we talk about? The quality of a law lies not only in the formulation of its provisions, but also in its implementation. ”

The people who said this exchanged their heads and talked about it.

Zhang Zhenghe couldn't help but speak, "Rong Laoyu said, and the left sentence is reversed." The root of punishment is not to punish criminals, but to make people understand what crime is. Law is a tool of politics, not a source of political turbidity. In the past, the legal net was very dense in the world, but the traitor and criminal departments were still emerging one after another, and this situation developed to the most serious time, and the officials and the common people actually deceived each other, reaching the point where the country was in a state of collapse. The harsher the law, the more thieves there are. The beauty of national politics lies in the generosity of the king, not in the harshness of the law. ”

After listening to Zhang Zhenghe, Guo Shouguang, director of the Department of Suppression, snorted coldly, his face was full of disdain, but he didn't say a word.

Guo Shouguang is in charge of the suppression of the north and south of the Jokhang Dynasty, specializing in handling the King James case, has his own prison, and can arrest, torture, and execute on his own, sometimes without even going through Lu Xiuyi's office, according to the prosecutor Zhang Wenfa and others Every time they hear that Guo Shouguang is coming, they can lose half of their frightened souls, trembling and trembling, and the fear is more than the fear of Lu Xiuyi.

Seeing that Guo Shouguang was so disdainful of him, no matter how good Ren Zhang Zhenghe's cultivation was, he couldn't help but be angry, but he just glanced at Guo Shouguang coldly, and didn't want to clash with him face to face.

Xiucai met a soldier, and it was unreasonable. This guy is difficult, just ignore him.

The Minister of Civil Affairs should be cautious in handling things, no matter how big or small things are, he must personally handle them, and the work is carried out in an orderly manner, which has won Xiao Yue's praise. He is Zhang Zhenghe's protégé, and he is also Zhang Zhenghe's introduction step by step to today, seeing Guo Shouguang humiliating his teacher so much, he couldn't help but say at this time, "In the last years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in order to centralize power and fight crime, from the first year of Daxing to the third year of Daxing, several major laws and regulations were overhauled, and strict punishment laws began to be implemented, but it backfired, those criminals who were released after completing their sentences claimed the title of king without authorization, attacked the cities, seized the weapons in the arsenal, released the prisoners sentenced to death, killed officials, issued documents, and urged the states to prepare food for them. These people gathered into a party, occupied the dangerous mountains and rivers to cause rebellion, and the government was helpless against them. Emperor Yang began to send the Imperial History Zhongcheng and Prime Minister Changshi to supervise the extermination, but it was still impossible to prohibit it, so he sent troops to attack, and for the large gangs, more than 10,000 people were killed, and those who sent food and drink to the rebels were killed according to the law, so that several states were punished, and as many as thousands of people were killed. Emperor Yang ruled for four years, strangled more than 70,000 criminals, triggered a more serious uprising, the Great Zhou Dynasty collapsed, and the world was torn apart. After a pause, he said, "If the people cannot produce, there will be rebellion, and the monarch's benevolence and generosity will make the world stable." Strict punishment and strict law, the death of Zhou, the grand ceremony of my dynasty, and the transformation of Lourdes. ”

After saying this, everyone couldn't help but agree. Seeing that his colleagues echoed him, Yi Tiran continued, "The legal net is tight, the handling of cases is often harsh, and the political affairs are gradually corrupted and wasted. Hundreds of officials are doing nothing, only seeking to protect their official positions, and it is too late for them to prevent mistakes, so how can they have time to study things other than the law? ”

As soon as this remark came out, it attracted a voice of approval.

Cui Shaoqun, the head of the household department, saw that what his subordinates said was so reasonable, and the backlog of dissatisfaction with Lu Xiuyi and others over the years came out again because of these words, and he arched his hand, and he said in a straight voice, "The reward is to encourage the virtue of everyone, and the punishment is to prohibit evil things." The states that Lord Lu has inspected have often destroyed several powerful families, and in whichever state he goes to, he will destroy the wealthy families in which state. Where he went, he mourned all over the wilderness and implicated thousands of people. However, all the cases taken over by Lord Lu must be investigated exhaustively, most of them have been beaten to the flesh and rotted to death in prison, and no one who has been convicted of the guilty can get out of prison, which is really shocking. ”

Many people have heard that Lu Xiuyi's law enforcement is severe and ruthless, but they don't know that it is so severe, and looking at Lu Xiuyi's eyes, they can't help but have fear and disgust.

Lu Xiuyi stood calmly, expressionless.

Zuo Guang couldn't help but say, "The cases that Lord Lu took over are all big and important cases. ”

Xiao Junzhi said, "Of the more than 100 people involved in Zhang's case, some of them are just personal friends with him, have intimate contacts, and have no substantive charges. ”

Lu Xiuyi said, "Go back to the prince." The more the case gets to the bottom of it, the more shocking it becomes. If there are not many people involved, it cannot be a permanent disaster. Grievances will certainly occur, but they are inevitable. Everyone has a partisan gang, and if you are a good friend, you can expose the other companions by convicting one, in order to remove the bones and cure the poison, once and for all. ”

Hearing Lu Xiuyi's disregard for human life so calmly, Xiao Junzhi said coldly, "You don't have anything to do." Lord Lu implemented the whistleblowing law, how many people accused each other for self-protection, and how many people died unjustly. Draconian criminal law does not serve the purpose, but appeasement can accomplish the task. ”

Zuo Guang said, "Prince Mingjian." Everyone is condemnable. The crime is not automatically exposed, but the crime will be revealed by the whistleblower and whistleblower. It is normal for people to plead themselves innocently, and not to show mercy in their interrogations, and not to use the punishment lightly, so that they will not deny. ”

Zhang Zhenghe couldn't help but say angrily, "A bunch of nonsense, a bunch of nonsense!" Zuo Ti Punishment, those who punish others will definitely be punished by others! Heaven and earth have their own laws of survival. If you act according to the Great Road, you will be able to accomplish all things, and if you act against the Great Road, you will surely bring about your own destruction! Thou shalt be willing, leave it at will! Leave it at that! ”

Zuo Guang said, "I have a clear conscience. For criminals, the execution is acceptable to them, making them painful but unbearable, and choosing what they cannot bear when they are tortured. For criminals who refuse to confess, the punishment is simplest and most effective. Let these people confess, and you can't achieve your goal without punishment. Of course, we also pay attention to the methods of torture, and the punishment changes at any time, and the means of execution vary from person to person. After a pause, Zuo Guang sneered slightly, "Master Zhang, if you don't do any line, you don't know which line, it's better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, don't be bored in the East Palace all day long, you can only open your eyes by going out for a walk." ”

Hearing Zuo Guang being so provocative and rude, Zhang Zhenghe pointed at Zuo Guang and couldn't speak, you and you are good for a long time.

Seeing that his teacher was extremely angry, Xiao Junzhi's face sank, and he said, "Lone has a sentence to listen to Lord Zuo, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and stop at the abyss." A person's life and death may depend on the choices made on a particular day, and the safety of the country may also depend on the policies promulgated on a certain day. ”

This is simply saying that you people are messing around, and sooner or later you will mess up the Zhao.

Hearing this, Xiao Yue's face sank suddenly, a chill faintly rose between his eyebrows, and everyone under the stairs was suddenly silent.

There are different hearts and undercurrents at the bottom, how can he not know? The crown prince has been impeached frequently recently, how can he not know the thoughts of these people?

Looking at the people with different expressions at the bottom of the stairs, Xiao Yue said, "Form determines the task, and understanding determines the action." Scientific study and judgment of the situation is the basis for correctly formulating the line. You are so divided in a way I never imagined. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yue continued, "Lord Chu, what do you think?" ”

Chu Nanan has always been cold-eyed and the audience is arguing, he has always been wise to protect himself, and he is determined not to mix with these two parties.

Seeing the name of the saint, Chu Nanan had to come out of the ranks, and a dark cloud pressed in his heart.
