Volume 1 In Search of a Thousand Years Chapter 64 The Great Confucian Style
Qu Yuan continued to emphasize their debate: "The law has affection, and it will only make the law a plasticine that can be manipulated by others, and it will only make the law a doll that can be played with in the palm of the hand, and the law is affectionate." So there is a pass for bending the law for personal gain, reversing black and white, and carelessly managing human life, so there is a pass for the despicable to be despicable. Noble is the epitaph of the noble, and the law of sentient beings is the law of calcium deficiency and the law of hypochondriasis, and we cannot ask for it. Therefore, the ruthlessness of the law can enable judges to be unbiased and ruthless in adjudicating cases. Only then can we better maintain fairness and justice, and the law can be ruthless, so that our people in all countries can be more harmonious and beautiful. ”
Seeing that everyone was arguing, Xiong Huai calmed down and said softly: "Actually, this means that in the process of law enforcement, what the law does not tolerate is private feelings and material desires, corruption and relationships in dark corners, and the love we are talking about is precisely the true affection and kindness under the sun, and the ubiquitous human light of the law." If the opponent can put the word "love" in the sun and understand it in a normal category, I don't think we will be contradictory. ”
After the explanation, I did not forget to analyze the contradictions between the two sides: "Today, I have been emphasizing that 'the law is ruthless and people have affection' If this is the case, what needs to be explained is why sentient people can create ruthless Fa. In fact, in the concept of the modern legal system, it is precisely to achieve that "people have affection and the law has affection", and we require law enforcers to enforce the law with deep feelings for the broad masses of the people, because only in this way can we better embody the feelings of fairness and justice of the law, and only then can the masses truly understand the true meaning of fairness and care for the law, and popularize the true feelings contained in the law to the world. ”
Hearing this, the crowd stopped arguing.
This debate happened to be heard by Chen Ping, who came to give a lecture, and he praised it later......
Chen Ping: "The law has affection and the law does not tolerate mercy has always been a long-standing debate issue among Legalists, you know the disadvantages and advantages of the two, if you know how to weigh the pros and cons in the future."
On the other hand, Zhao Bixia wanted to stay in Jixia for a while longer, although he was not a scholar with some reputation, but with his ideas that were more than 2,000 years ahead, he should be able to mix in and appreciate these academic ideas that have been lost to future generations.
Because I was in a hurry, I listened to a question from King Qi, it was past noon, and the hungry Zhao Bixia wanted to follow them to see what arrangements they had.
Seeing a large number of people pouring out, Zhao Bixia followed the flow of people and they went to a restaurant, the restaurant has all kinds of food with various flavors, worthy of being a cultural center, and the national strength of Qi in this period is comparable to that of Chu, and the wealth is not inferior to that of Chu.
Zhao Bixia overheard the conversation in the crowd.
One student consulted Mr. and later learned that the pair of teachers and students were the famous Mencius and his student Kuang Zhang.
The student asked, "What kind of person can be called an honest person?"
Kuang Zhang continued to ask: "Chen Zhongzi lived in Yuling, and he did not eat for three consecutive days, nor did he ask for it, so that his ears were deaf and his eyes could not see quickly. He must be considered an incorruptible man."
After hearing this, Mencius shook his head and said: "Among the scholars of the Qi Kingdom, I admire Chen Zhongzi very much, but I don't quite agree with the views and practices of an honest man like him. You can only do it after they become earthworms."
Kuang Zhang's slightly doubtful expression allowed Mencius to continue to explain in depth.
"Earthworms eat dry soil on the ground and drink spring water under the ground, which is the most honest and honest thing to ask for. And can Chen Zhongzi do it? Was the house in which he lived built by a man as incorruptible as Beyi? Or was it built by robbers like thieves? Is the grain he eats planted by an incorruptible man like Beyi? Or is it planted by robbers like thieves? He doesn't even know about this, so how can he say that his integrity can be praised. ”
Kuang Zhang listened to the teacher's discussion and said unconvinced: "Then what does it matter? These are all things that he personally weaved straw futons and exchanged with others, so what's wrong with being self-reliant?"
Mencius said patiently: "In the Qi Kingdom, Chen Zhongzi is a member of the clan and enjoys the Lutian that has been passed down from generation to generation. His elder brother Chen Zai earned tens of thousands of stones from Yi, but he thought that his brother's income was greedy and did not eat it; Thinks that my brother's house is a hoodoo and does not live in it. He ran away from his parents and brother and lived alone in Yuling.
I just don't know if Chen Zhongzi will appear here. The story tells the story of Chen Zhongzi's experience:
One day when he came home, someone happened to give his brother a goose.
He frowned and said, "What's the use of this uh-uh-uh thing?"
His brother was naturally not happy when he heard this.
A few days passed.
His mother killed the goose and stewed it, and gave it to him to eat.
Then his brother came from outside, and when he saw him eating goose meat, he said, "Didn't you say that this barking thing is useless?" Why do you still eat it?"
When Chen Zhongzi heard this, he knew that he was eating goose meat, so he hurriedly ran out of the door and vomited outside."
After talking about Chen Zhongzi, Kuang Zhang was still thinking about it, and then lowered his head in shame and no longer refutated......
It didn't take long for the academic discussion to gradually quiet down, and there were fewer and fewer people in the restaurant.
Looking at the figure of everyone leaving, Zhao Bixia had nowhere to go, and wanted to return to the lecture hall of the Jixia School Palace. But thinking about settling down first, I went to an inn, put down the package, and lay down in the guest room to rest.
After resting, he couldn't sleep for a while, so he went out and left the inn again, crossed the street, and arrived outside the gate of the Jixia School Palace in a few moments.
It's past the height of summer, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large, and when the morning comes, it doesn't feel hot, but at this time it seems to be a hot summer. Knowing that there could be no indecent behavior on this ancient street, Zhao Bixia could only endure it.
Outside the moat, birds sometimes stopped to drink and peck, sometimes flew up to the castle tower and stood next to the soldiers to forage for food, and then fluttered their wings and flew to the trees of the palace.
Zhao Bixia followed the footsteps of a few people into the school palace, and these scholars who came and went in and out of the school palace from time to time seemed to be among the doctors, and the guest secretaries.
They are still deliberating about what to talk about in the afternoon, which should be present for each faction, so the collision of multiple ideas will always have different receipts, which can make up for our shortcomings.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Bixia was noticed after a while. There was no way, Zhao Bixia could only greet them head-on and greet them politely.
It's just that women can still be seen here occasionally, maybe some women who respect academic thoughts, since ancient times, there have always been some women whose thoughts are not inferior to men, so it is not surprising that several lecturers see Zhao Bixia. Fortunately, he was dressed as a literati, so he would not spoil the scenery......
