Accompanied by Deng Xi, Bo Biao, Fan Li and other ministers, Qingji came to the square of the Jixia School Palace and sat on the square platform.

At this time, thousands of scholars sat in the huge square. Not only the scholars of the Jixia School Palace, but also many scholars who came to visit.

This debate is destined to have a far-reaching impact and go down in history. Even the representatives of the hundreds of schools of thought, such as Confucius, Ji Ran, and Lao Tzu, were all present to listen to the lecture.

As for the debate, it was the business of the scholars, and what Qingji had to do was to listen carefully to their opinions, and then formulate the new laws of Wu Guo as appropriate.

That's kind of a thing

"Democracy" too. Thanks to Wu Guoguang's opening up of his speech and the establishment of official schools in various places, the number of scholars increased dramatically, and they all began to actively participate in the affairs of the country.

They have the right to participate in politics, which is given by Qingji. Of course, if you want to personally attack or slander the king, Qingji will never tolerate adultery.

After all, such a white-eyed wolf is a waste of food when he is alive, and a waste of land when he is dead. As the court lieutenant of Wu State, a representative figure of Legalism, and Deng Xi, who was responsible for recompiling the "Book of Laws", stepped onto the debate platform for the first time, looked around for a week, and said loudly: "Second and third sons, I, Deng Xi, have been ordered by the king to open the altar to give lectures, and to accept the words of a hundred schools, and also ask the second and third sons to give advice!" ”

"Today's topic is 'etiquette' and 'law', what is etiquette?"

"If you are rude, you will not stand, and you will not succeed in the country."

"Whether it is to teach people with etiquette or to rule people by law, please let the second and third sons speak freely, and my Dawu will never be guilty of words!"

"The laws that exist now are still to be discussed, one of them - to commit a crime in the name of righteousness!"

"Is it a crime for children and grandchildren to accuse grandparents and parents of their behavior? Please also ask the second and third sons to say everything! As soon as the words fell, Deng Xi retreated.

The name refers to the name, and the righteousness refers to the affection. If a humble child files a lawsuit against his superior, it is a crime to commit a crime in his name.

It's called

"Doing what is wrong". In the original history, committing a crime was a crime established in the Yuan Dynasty. Except for rebellion, rebellion, and intentional homicide, sons are not allowed to testify about their father's crimes, slaves are not allowed to denounce their masters, and wives and concubines, younger brothers, and nephews are not allowed to denounce their husbands, older brothers, uncles, and uncles.

If you violate the law and act in a lawsuit, it is a violation of ethics and morals.

If a person fails to comply with the provisions of the law and there is a whistle-blowing situation, the accused shall be dealt with as a voluntary surrender and the person who made the accusation shall be punished.

An elegant-looking young scholar stood up, bowed to the surrounding scholars, and said, "Second and third sons, I think that it should not be a crime to commit righteousness!" ”

"Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons. Respect and humility are orderly, and there is a system up and down! ”

"If the father commits a crime, the son should report it!"

"The Father is the Son, there is no crime, if there is a violation, it is necessary to admonish, respect and filial piety, and there is no order to be guilty. If there is a person who forgets his feelings and violates etiquette, hang! ”

"Good!"

"Color!" The words of this scholar resonated with many scholars present. They applauded.

The scholars who won the full house just saluted vigorously, and did not say much, or were too proud.

At this time, Qing Ji, who was sitting on the square platform, saw that this scholar was a little different, so he couldn't help but smile, and asked Kong Qiu, who was sitting not far away: "Kong Qiu, this scholar listens to the accent, he is from Lu, is he your disciple?" ”

"Returning to the king, he is not a disciple of the minister. However, the minister knew him. ”

"Oh?" This made Qingji interested for a while. Although Kong Qiu accepted many disciples, he had a good memory and could remember the names of each disciple.

The scholar not far away was not actually a disciple of Kongqiu? According to Qingji's thoughts, the doctrine of the scholar is clearly the Confucian one.

However, it is also mixed with the doctrines and ideas of Legalists and famous scholars.

"The king, this person's name is Qiu Ming, because his father served as the left historian of the Lu State, so he is also called Zuo Qiu Ming."

"Two days ago, Zuo Qiu Ming also came to pay a visit to his ministers and had a very happy conversation. He was indeed an extraordinary visionary, and although he was young, he had a deep understanding of the essence of Confucianism. "Obviously, for the one called

The scholar of "Zuo Qiu Ming", Kong Qiu still admires it very much. Zuo Qiu Ming? Qingji suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a number one person in history.

Zuo Qiu Ming is the twenty-first grandson of Jiang Taigong, the founder of Qi, the grandson of Chu Zuoshi Yixiang, and the son of Lu Taishi Cheng.

After the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Gong was divided into princes, and Jiang Taigong was sealed in Qi for his meritorious service in destroying the Shang, all in Yingqiu.

After the death of Jiang Taigong, his eldest son Ding Gong succeeded to the throne, and his youngest son Yin lived in Yingqiu and changed his surname to Qiu. After the death of Duke Ding, the third generation, Duke Mourning ascended the throne.

At this time, the king of Ji was at odds with him, so he slandered the king of Zhou, provoking the relationship between the prince of Ai and the king of Zhou, causing the king of Zhou to cook the prince of Ai in anger.

The younger brother of the Duke of Ai, Jing, was made a prince, that is, the Duke of Hu. Mourning Gong's brother Shan did not accept Hu Gong, and organized the same party to lead Yingqiu's men and horses to kill Hu Gong, and established himself as the monarch of the country, in order to sacrifice the father.

At that time, Yin's descendant Lou Jia was forced to participate in the palace dispute with the mountain. Although the struggle was victorious, but flesh and blood were killed, and he was charged with killing the king, Lou Jia was worried about his own trouble, so he left Qi and went to Chu to serve as the left historian of Chu.

The official positions of this era were often inherited by the death of the father and the son, so the ancients often took the official position as the surname. Lou Jia and his descendants served as the left historian of Chu for generations, so they changed their surname to Zuo and settled in Chu for a long time.

Lou Jia's twelfth generation grandson Yixiang, known in history

"Left history leans on the prime side". Rely on each other to give birth to a son. When he became the Zuo Shi, there was a civil strife in the state of Chu for the power of the monarch - the prince of Chu killed his monarch by killing him, and then he was killed by the prince of abandonment.

Later, Yi Xiang led his descendants to leave the Chu State and come to the Lu State and became the Taishi of the Lu State. His son was also well-versed in history, and was appointed as the Taishi of the Lu State, and became a son, Zuoqiu Ming...... Zuo Qiu Ming in history served as a historian of the Lu Kingdom, and according to legend, he wrote "Zuo Chuan" and "Chinese" for the analysis of "Spring and Autumn", which is known as

"The ancestor of a hundred schools of writing, the ancestor of ancient literature". Zuo Qiu Ming is indeed a remarkable character.

"What the gentleman said, Da Miao!" At this time, under the debate stage, one person stood up and openly opposed Zuo Qiu Ming's point of view.

"Please give me advice." Zuo Qiu Ming saluted to the other party. After the scholar returned the salute, he said sharply: "Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons." The minister can't sue the king, the son can't sue the father, sir, does it think it should be so? ”

"Exactly."

"Fallacies too!" The scholar brushed his sleeves and said: "If the father commits the great crime of rebellion, should the son also respect filial piety and be convicted without an order?" ”

"This ......" Zuo Qiu Ming couldn't argue for a while.
