Chapter 890: The Dispute over Ritual and Punishment

"A bunch of bastards!" Ao Huang cursed in a low voice.

Yu Bachi said in a low voice: "Fang Xusheng answered so quickly, maybe it is possible that he is all right." ”

"I don't know yet that you Terran Half-Saints, if it were so easy to get all the first-class words, the Ten Kingdoms wouldn't have to produce a first-class for several years. The key is not whether the test paper is difficult or not, but that the speed is too fast, and the 30-page test paper will take half an hour to complete, who can complete the whole paper? As long as it is not the whole paper, they will definitely have an excuse to attack Fang Yun!"

"However, the temper of the Void Sage should not be so light on their little tricks. Either you have a plan, or you have a backhand. ”

"Rear hand?" Ao Huang was thoughtful, could Fang Yun have relied on?

Every twenty breaths, the test paper will turn a page, and when it reaches the last page, the chief bookkeeper Shen Hao smiled and said: "Everyone, there is still the last hundred breaths of time, don't worry." ”

Shen Wei looked at Fang Yun with a smile in his eyes, the further back he went, the more time Fang Yun spent answering the questions, and he almost didn't stop later. Because there are a few topics in the back that are to write an entire article silently, often thousands of words, even if Fang Yun has worked hard to write, it is impossible to answer a page within 20 breaths.

Although he turned to page 30 now, Fang Yun hadn't started to look up yet, and was still answering the question on page 29.

After more than a dozen breaths, Fang Yun raised his head, glanced at the thirtieth test paper, and buried himself in answering the questions.

Time passed slowly, and Shen Wei just stared at Fang Yun and pinched the time with the official seal.

As soon as the time came, Shen Wei asked the official to put down the test paper and said loudly: "The time has come, please put down the brush! If you write again, you will be judged as a failure!"

As soon as the words fell, Fang Yun put away his pen and breathed a sigh of relief.

The official immediately removed the screen.

Several people looked at each other and whispered, "It's too fast, some topics don't have time to think about at all." ”

"Even if you have time to think about it, you can't finish it. I only answered about two and a half times. ”

"I'm better than you. It's only 30%. ”

"I'm close to 30%, and I don't know how many adults are. Wen Yuanjun, how many percent did you answer. ”

Wen Gu shook his head and said regretfully: "The answer is almost complete in the front, and only about half of the last ten pages are answered. Where's the road catcher?"

"It's about the same as Brother Wen. ”

Deng Xuezheng said: "I am not much different from Brother Wen. In the end, it's not that I can't answer those questions, but that I don't have enough time. ”

Shen Wei smiled: "The county test is not over, and the final answer has not yet arrived, and you can only get it when you enter the marking room." It's better for us to take the test paper of Fang County's order as a reference and compare it. How?"

"I think it's good! Fang Xusheng is afraid that he will answer the most!"

"Okay, you guys exchange test papers with each other, cross-review, and I will read the answers to the county order. Shen Wei smiled.

Fang Yun handed the test paper to Shen Wei and stood with a smile.

Shen Wei glanced at everyone, coughed lightly, put the test paper on the left side, put Fang Yun's answer on the right side, and read, "This first question." It is to ask how many years the book "Spring and Autumn" has passed. Everyone knows that it is two hundred and forty-two years, and if anyone answers incorrectly, he will immediately go to the temple and resign from his position. ”

The crowd laughed. The thirteen people, except for Fang Yun, all drew a circle after the answer in front of them, indicating that it was correct.

Shen Wei continued: "Regarding the 'dispute between ritual and punishment', the hall of rites and the hall of punishment are finally decided. Do you need to talk about this?"

Everyone laughed and continued to answer the question. But a few people's faces changed slightly, and Fang Yun's gaze also moved.

Controversy over ritual punishment. It was a battle for the holy path that swept through hundreds of schools during the Han Dynasty, which lasted for nearly fifty years, and finally ended with the fall of Jia Yi Sheng, and the torture hall won a complete victory, and it was also the beginning of the coexistence of human torture and rituals.

The dispute over ritual punishment is just because of the sentence "If you can't be a courtesy, you can't be a doctor", the guide zhì half-saint Jia Yi fell in advance, the seven great Confucian scholars were shattered, and thousands of scholars and humanities palaces collapsed, which can be called a catastrophe for the human race.

The Rite Temple's interpretation of this sentence is that the commoners were poor, they did not have time to master the cumbersome rituals, and they could not afford expensive gifts, so they could not use the rites to restrain the commoners. High-ranking officials have committed serious crimes, and they should be covered up with obscure words, and undignified punishments should not be used, but high-ranking officials should be allowed to commit suicide with dignity.

The Torture Palace's interpretation of this sentence is completely different from that of the Rite Palace.

The Torture Hall believes that "up" and "down" correspond to "respect" and "humility" respectively, and the whole sentence becomes "courtesy is not humble, punishment is not respect for doctors".

The explanation of the torture hall is that civilians cannot be excluded from ceremonial civilization because they are inferior to scholars and doctors, and that the punishment cannot be discriminated against because the offender is a high-ranking official.

When Fang Yun came to the Shengyuan Continent to read the "Controversy of Rites and Punishments" for the first time, his first thought was that later generations deliberately misinterpreted this in order to frame Confucianism, saying that this meant that commoners were not eligible to enjoy etiquette, and high-ranking officials and nobles could not be punished.

Fang Yun later read many books, whether it was Jia Yi, Zheng Xuan, or Kong Yingda, these Confucian commentaries on this sentence were similar to the ceremonial halls of the Shengyuan Continent, they were all considerate of the common people, and believed that high-ranking officials could be sentenced to death, but they should be more decent, and do not use corporal punishment that harms the body, rather than saying that high-ranking officials are not punished in any way.

For Fang Yun, who lived in the ancient country of China, "punishment for doctors" has long been implemented, because not to mention high-ranking officials, even ordinary people who commit crimes, there will be no punishment such as breaking their legs and feet, either imprisoned or sentenced to death, which can be described as "not punishing criminals".

There is no controversy between the ceremonial hall and the torture hall in the first half of the sentence, and if you don't look carefully, there is not much difference between the second half of the sentence, but one is to give a decent punishment, and the other is to treat everyone equally.

However, the essence of the dispute between the two halls was the right to convict the "doctor".

Before the ritual and punishment dispute, the Torture Hall has no right to try all scholars, and only after the Rite Hall deprives the criminals of their status as scholars, the Torture Hall is qualified to judge, otherwise even if the scholars are reversed, before the permission of the Rite Palace, the Torture Hall has no right to intervene, at most it is arrested.

For the Torture Hall and the Legalist scholars who believed in Shang Ying's "prince who broke the law and committed the same crime as the people", this kind of behavior of the Rite Hall was simply a contempt for the law, and if the judgment power of the Rite Hall over the scholars was not overthrown, the Torture Hall and the Legalists would never have a bright day.

As a result, after years of preparation, the torture hall brazenly launched a dispute over ritual punishment.

Those who had seen the battle of the Holy Paths hundreds of years ago had long since died out, and all the perfect records had been erased by the Rite Hall, so Fang Yun could only understand the collision of the two Great Paths in those years.

"Chixia rises from the inverted peak mountain, like blood, like a flag, and will not disperse for ten years. ”

"Above Kongcheng, there is a burst of thunder, more than a few months, a radius of thousands of miles, insects and beasts do not sound. ”

A strange light spread, and then instantly condensed, heading straight for the Demon Mountain, and the thousands of miles of mountains and demons evaporated like water vapor. ”

"Before the great dispute, the men of Kongcheng had sex to time the moment, and when the great dispute was timed, they were angry and angry. (To be continued......)
