Chapter 860: Lin Su on the Law
"She is still in Lingyin Temple, Princess Yufeng is protecting her, and no one dares to touch her, but this matter is not a long-term solution after all." Autumn Ink Pond Road.
Zongzheng Mansion held on...... It shouldn't be for the sake of the law itself, what are their little calculations? Lin Su said.
"You're still discerning!" Autumn ink pool explained......
Zongzheng Mansion is currently arguing with His Majesty openly and secretly!
The so-called Zongzheng Mansion represents the interests of the entire imperial family, and almost all the princes stand behind him.
The five princes surnamed Ji, the East King, the North King, the Backer King, the Houyun King, and the Luyang King, are the princes with the blood of the ancestors of the Ji family in their bones, which are different from the kings with different surnames such as the South King and the Lei King.
These palaces have been rewarded with a large amount of land for hundreds of years, collected forces from all directions, and almost all of them have become a country of their own, Ji Shang did not dare to touch them, after the fall of Ji Shang, they were not implicated, the throne was preserved, and the power was still there.
And the newly appointed Majesty is not used to them.
Didn't there be a tax reform last time? Abolish all privileges, including the privileges of the Prince!
As soon as this trick came out, the major princes stopped doing it!
Zongzheng Mansion, as their representative, is no longer done!
They insist that the laws of the ancestors cannot be changed, the laws of the ancestors are clear, and the clan does not pay taxes through the ages.
The tax law has been issued, and Lin Su's previous "Shi Pai" trick has also been launched, and the literati group has been subdued by one move, and it is no longer the main force blocking the tax system, and the main force has been replaced by the clan.
Although the tax law has been compulsorily introduced, at present the major royal governments are collectively opposed, and the government at all levels is simply unable to do anything in the face of the millions of acres of fertile land in the royal government, and they have become the biggest obstacle to the tax reform.
Of course, the current tax law issued is the law, and they don't dare to rebel openly, so Zongzheng Mansion has a problem for His Majesty: You say the law, let's say the law, the national law stipulates that the traitor will be punished by the nine clans, you first fulfill this national law, and then talk about the tax law!
This is for His Majesty General!
Li Yangxin shook his head slightly: "This is one of the reasons, and there is another reason!" Sixteen high-ranking officials of the State Hall were arrested, and the property left behind was a large piece of fat, and these princes were eyeing this fat, and they were eager to kill the nine clans of these people cleanly, and they would like to share this piece of the pie......"
Zhang Haoran shook his head: "It's not that simple, I suspect they have deeper plans......"
All eyes converged on his face......
Zhang Haoran is currently one level higher than their official seal, and the higher the official position, the higher the level that can be accessed, what did Zhang Haoran interpret through the incident of Zongzheng Mansion?
Zhang Haoran spoke under the gaze of the brothers: "Actually, this is not what I can see, it is Qu Wendong Qu Ge Lao said, he said, Zongzheng Mansion insists on the same punishment of the nine clans, and the spearhead is directly aimed at Lu Youwei and Song Du's wife, the fundamental purpose is to tear apart His Majesty and King Wen!" ”
Everyone was shocked at the same time......
Tear Your Majesty and King Wen!
Just seven words is an extremely shocking game of chess, and no one can ignore it!
They can be regarded as being in a high position, and they also know the overall situation of the current Dacang......
In the game of the great firmament, Your Majesty and King Wen are two super fixing stars, Your Majesty determines the court, Lin Su determines the four realms, one outside the main and one inside, the emperor Lao Tzu is here, and he has to weigh a few points......
This is based on the full trust and close cooperation between Lin Su and His Majesty, if there is a disagreement between the two people, then Yu Dacang will be a catastrophe!
So, is there any way to tear their relationship apart?
This is what Zongzheng Mansion has done in front of him!
According to the laws of the country, Lu Youwei has to die!
The law of the land, Your Majesty is the executor of course!
In other words, if His Majesty wants the throne to be stable, he needs to execute Lu Youwei and the main room of Song Du.
And can Lin Su agree?
Lu Youwei is his woman, can he watch his woman be executed with his own eyes? Song Du's main room is Lin's mother's sister, can he watch his mother's only relative die?
His Majesty will be in a dilemma, and Lin Su will be in a dilemma.
"What Brother Zhang said, the stone is shattering, and it is also the clouds that see the sun, whether the brothers believe it or not, the younger brother believes it!" Qiu Mochi said: "The younger brother has been checking the past case files of the sixteen high-ranking officials of the State Hall these days, and only then does he know how deep the water of the court is, and the Zongzheng Mansion and the five princes behind it may really have the intention of redefining the mountains and rivers......"
Even if he is facing the most trusted brother, some words can only be understood, he didn't say "rebellion", he said "re-establish mountains and rivers"!
But everyone understands it.
Zongzheng Mansion is a freak who represents the interests of the royal family, and is essentially only a clan representative, but behind it are the five princes, and the various families that have come together because of these five princes. After thousands of years of evolution, these forces have long permeated all aspects of society, including politics, military, business, monasticism, major holy families, and temples......
When Ji Shang was in power, they were very honest, why? Ji Shang gave them enough privileges and gave them enough benefits.
What do they do?
And Ji Guang is on top, a tax reform, the blade is aimed at the privileged class, how are they happy? It is necessary to know that the people who are most harmed by the taxation of land and the abolition of all kinds of tax exemptions are the people who own the most land, and who owns more land in the world? Five Princes! Major families! There are even Buddhist temples and Taoist temples!
Therefore, the tax reform touches the most untouchable groups of the entire Dacang!
Whether Lu Youwei dies or not, it doesn't matter if she dies today, what matters is the article later in this matter......
They want to make this article bigger, they want to tear apart the relationship between Lin Su and His Majesty, they know that as long as a stinger is buried between Lin Su and His Majesty, sooner or later, this stinger will become the starting point of the rift, pushing these two supergiants to the opposite side, and when that day comes, Zongzheng Mansion and Wang Dawang will have a chance to take advantage of it!
Ji Guang has the blood of the first emperor, but he is the king, who of the five princes is not the blood of the first emperor?
Huo Qichang sighed: "Even though Qu Ge Lao has seen through the poison of Zongzheng Mansion, we are also helpless, after all, people are holding a right move!" ”
Li Yangxin said: "There may be a way in front of you!" Brother Lin might as well listen to it......"
Lin Su raised his gaze and stared at him......
Li Yangxin said: "The younger brother knows that Lu Youwei is Brother Lin's confidante, and she is also our friend of the day, we categorically can't let her die, and she doesn't die, and Your Majesty can't explain, there is only one way to let her cut her hair in Lingyin Temple as a nun!" As soon as you enter the empty door, you are no longer a person in the world, so there is no reason for Zongzheng Mansion to hold on to it, right? ”
Zhang Haoran's eyes lit up......
The eyes of the brothers also lit up......
Wonderful!
Let her enter the empty door!
If she enters the empty door, she is not an earthly person, and the earthly law is no longer applicable, she can escape this catastrophe, but what about Song Du's wife? Same as this!
Huo Qi smiled: "Brother Li's plan is wonderful!" Now it's up to Brother Lin, and he is reluctant to give up Miss Lu's three-foot green silk. ”
Li Yangxin smiled: "Brother Huo also underestimates Brother Lin too much, is Brother Lin such a paranoid person?" He has long been accustomed to Lingyin appreciating flowers, there are three feet of green silk is a flower, and if there is no three-foot green silk, is it not a flower? ”
All the brothers laughed together, their hearts were together, today they gathered in King Wen's mansion, in fact, rescuing Lu Youwei is also one of the important issues, and now it seems to be solved.
However, Lin Su, who was in the center of the crowd, picked up the teacup: "Brothers, I am deeply grateful to me for bothering to plan for her and find ways to circumvent the law of the country, but brothers, have you ever thought about the law of the country...... Is it reasonable? ”
Everyone was shocked......
"The law of the country, the foundation of a country, the law of the ancestors, how can we judge it at will?" Qiu Mochi was a little hesitant.
Lin Su said: "There is nothing wrong with the national law, the foundation of a country, but the national law itself can be adjusted and changed, for example, the current tax law, did the ancestors have it?" No! But aren't you doing it well now? …… Therefore, put aside the psychological inertia of the ancestors' law, and talk openly and honestly, whether the current national law of punishing the nine clans is reasonable! ”
Yes, the brothers looked at each other, the law of the ancestors has psychological inertia in the hearts of every high-ranking official, when encountering this national law, they don't want to take a detour directly, and Lin Su's spirit is obviously not comparable to brothers, and he pointed the finger at the real root of the disease: whether the law of the country itself is reasonable!
Listen to him, if the law itself is unreasonable, he will change the law!
Change, oh my God......
It is still Qiu Mochi who is the head, he is from the Criminal Department, and in the field of law, he should speak......
Qiu Mochi said: "Traitor, Zhu Jiu Clan, according to the younger brother, there is nothing unreasonable in itself, just because of the crime of treason, the crime is too big, and the harm to Dacang is incomparable, and the non-heavy canon is not enough to deter the Bafang Xiaoxiao!" ”
"Non-repetition is not enough to deter!" Lin Su nodded: "What Brother Qiu said is very true, but why is it the Zhujiu Clan?" Instead of punishing the Twelve? ”
"Twelve? Where did the Twelve Tribes come from? Qiu Mochi was stunned.
"Father, four mothers, three wives and two wives, in addition to the nine clans, there are also three clans, this person has old friends in the past, the same year of the palace test, and colleagues in the officialdom, so wouldn't it be more deterrent? Is it more enough to show that non-repetition is not enough to deter? ”
Qiu Mochi sweated down: "Brother Lin, if you do this, it is indiscriminate killing of innocents!" ”
Lin Su said: "Yes, I punish the twelve clans indiscriminately killing innocents, but don't you punish the nine clans indiscriminately killing innocents?" What is the sin of a three-year-old baby among the nine tribes? Some of those ordinary children have never even seen the true face of the head of the family, what is the crime? It's been almost three years since Lu Youwei left the Lu Mansion, what does Lu Tiancong's treason have to do with her? What is she guilty of? When they were punished together, did they kill innocents indiscriminately? ”
The crowd was dumbfounded......
Lin Su's gaze swept over the faces of the brothers: "Therefore, the decree of the Nine Clans is unreasonable!" In the millennium since the founding of the People's Republic of China, everyone has regarded it as reasonable, why? Because everyone has zero tolerance for treason, they all subconsciously relax the boundaries of punishment, no matter how cruel and absurd the execution is, it is covered up by the phrase 'non-heavy canons are not enough to deterrence', and ignore the true meaning of the law! ”
"The true meaning of the law...... Brother Lin, let's talk about it! Zhang Haoran's eyes were shining.
Lin Su said: "What is the law? The laws that guarantee the code of conduct are also! In order to understand the meaning of the law, we must first understand why we need to legislate. The fundamental purpose of legislation is to regulate the words and deeds of all people, so that people do not make mistakes, so that the country can go smoothly according to the established line! Instead of punishing for the sake of punishing, punishing, is only the result of breaking the law, and not the purpose of the legislation......"
Therefore, there are three basic principles of penalty......
First, the principle that if there is a mistake, it can be punished. You can only be punished if you do wrong, but not the innocent.
Second, the principle of differential punishment. No matter how big a mistake is done, there must be a subdivision and corresponding process, not just take it, and behead them all at noon, even if they are people in the same case, there must be a distinction between priority and secondary, the punishment for the main offender is heavy, and the punishment for the accessory offender is light.
Third, the principle of openness and transparency can be used for reference. In other words, the cases you are currently adjudicating should have reference significance across the country, and when others encounter similar cases, they can directly use your judgment as a standard, and it is not unfair.
After the three principles were spoken, everyone looked at each other......
They seem to have glimpsed the true face of the law for the first time, as if they were happy to hear the Great Dao, if it was not a complete blockade at this moment, Lin Su's remarks should be full of flowers again.
However, it seems ...... to apply these three principles to the treason of sixteen high-ranking officials It seems a little too light.
God testifies that they are enlightened people, and they have gradually stepped out of the shackles of "the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished", they can accept the change of the law, and they also accept that the nine clans are too harsh, but let them go from one extreme to the other, from too harsh, to too light, they are still difficult to adapt......
Zhang Haoran sighed softly: "Brother Lin's argument is like seeing the sun through the clouds to me, and it should be the true words of the Great Dao, however, the felony of treason, taking it lightly, seems to be difficult to have a deterrent effect, and I am afraid that it will bury a hidden danger for the future governance of the country." ”
Yes, all the brothers agreed.
If the crime of treason can be preserved in the end, will the people behind lose their awe? Will there be more treason in the future?
Lin Su smiled slightly: "Is it light?" It's not light, right? Sixteen high-ranking officials, each of whom had been a great man who had stomped and shook the mountains, died because of a rebellion, and their family property was also because they sold their conscience, and there was no obstacle to steal his family and property, and their direct children could not become officials within three generations, lest they should overturn the case or take revenge for their father's crimes...... Is this still light? ”
Everyone's hearts moved slightly, but too, light and heavy are corresponding, compared to the Zhujiu clan, Lin Su's plan is mild to the extreme, but compared to the glory and wealth of the past, they are also extremely heavy.
Lin Su said: "Let's talk about the deterrence that you have said many times...... The so-called deterrence is mainly aimed at people who want to commit crimes, and for people who have no intention of committing crimes in the first place, deterrence itself is meaningless. Since it is aimed at these people, it depends on what these people care about most in their hearts, do they care about the Nine Clans? I don't say they don't care at all, but what they care about most is themselves! I am gone, how many people care about the flood behind them? Therefore, as long as the principle of punishment for violating the law is clearly defined and firmly enforced, the deterrent effect will always exist for those who have the will to commit crimes. ”
The brothers nodded, but too!
Lin Su took a sip of tea and continued: "Finally, let me remind you brothers that the law of treason and punishment of the Nine Clans has existed for thousands of years, but why has such a harsh clause failed to stop the traitors from taking risks again and again? This is precisely the after-effect of the draconian law. ”
Qiu Mochi's heart was pounding: "Brother Lin, please advise!" ”
Lin Su said: "One person is treasonous, and the nine clans are martyred, then, once one person in the family embarks on this road, the nine clans will be tied up together, and if they rebel, they will die, and if they don't rebel, they will die, since they are all dead, why not just raise the clan and bet on it, and Bo has a chance to live?" ”
All the brothers were shaken......
It wasn't until this moment that they were really moved by Lin Su......
Because Lin Su pointed out an objective existence of human nature!
In this world, there are countless intersections among the nine clans, and no one knows if a traitor will suddenly appear in the family, and once it comes out, what will happen to the rest?
They have no way back but to take a chance!
This national policy was originally intended to put an end to treason, but in some specific circumstances, it would expand the scope of treason, tying up a clan because of one person, and a small incident would turn into a big incident of rebellion among the whole clan in the blink of an eye.
This is the paradox of the national focus!
This is the result of excessive punishment!
Qiu Mochi said: "Three hundred years ago, the lord of Baiyun City, because of his son's treason, finally rebelled with his clan, and the southwest war burned for seven years; Two hundred years ago, Luoyang's injury was also an example; Twenty years ago, the change of the southern red wood; Eight years ago, the Helan Li clan changed...... It's all because one of the family members is treasonous, and the rest have no way to retreat, and then take risks! ”
Zhang Haoran said: "If Brother Lin's set of laws is born as soon as possible, and the crime is not as innocent as possible, then there may be another completely different way to open these cases, and the people in the family who understand the righteousness will unite and arrest this person, and the treason case will not be settled?" ”
Huo Qi's eyes flashed: "Brother Lin, junior brother thinks you need to discuss a Dao!" Just discuss the law in Wenyuan Pavilion! Your argument is completely in line with Confucian benevolence and righteousness, and perhaps once this argument comes out, your life in the temple will be much better. ”
As soon as these words came out, all the brothers fell silent......
There is light in everyone's eyes......
There are some things that are not easy for everyone to mention, but in each other's hearts like mirrors, Lin Su has taken the path of military and has always advocated iron-blooded killing, while Confucianism advocates benevolence, righteousness and forgiveness. Therefore, his relationship with Confucianism is gradually drifting apart, and if there is a dispute over the avenue above the temple in the future, the biggest possibility is the dispute between Bingdao and Confucianism.
This was the largest and most terrifying sword hanging over Lin Su's head.
Because of Confucianism, control the temple!
But tonight, in a discussion of the law, Lin Su's views are unusually gentle, full of benevolence and forgiveness, which is in line with Confucianism and Taoism!
If he discusses the law in Wenyuan Pavilion, wouldn't he indirectly show favor to Confucianism?
Will not the rift between them be repaired silently?
Huo Qineng put forward this opinion, in fact, it is also the way that the brothers have been looking for him......
"Brother Huo's mind, junior brother knows it, this matter, wait until I think about it......"
Tonight's party has ups and downs, communication, emotional collisions, and discussions......
The brothers dispersed in the dead of night......
Lin Su strolled back to his bedroom, his heart wandering......
The bedroom door closed, the girl retreated, and Zhou Mei's figure appeared: "I personally think Huo Qi has a good idea today, this kid seems to have received the guidance of a master." ”
"Is that a good idea?" Lin Su Dao.
Zhou Mei said: "How is it bad? Although I don't know what the temple looks like, I know that the temple is covered by Confucianism, and your-stirring stick entering the temple must have collided with them, and whether you are rescuing your little lover tonight or rescuing your mother's sister, anyway, it is not as gentle as you Lin Sanlang, isn't this just in line with the essence of Confucianism? Isn't this a gesture of goodwill to Confucianism? ”
Hehe......
Lin Su replied to her two words in her heart......
Girl, you're still too young, you don't know what Confucianism is!
If they were really so merciful, why did they turn a blind eye to such a law as the Nine Clans for thousands of years?
Do you think that when I discuss the Fa, I am showing favor to Confucianism?
No, that's not their understanding, they'll think I'm challenging the traditional order! To challenge tradition is to challenge them!
In addition, Lin Su's law has a core, that is, violations must be punished, and punishment must be severe, which is a typical rule of law thought! This is also contrary to the Confucian idea of governance!
So, the idea of the rule of law should correspond to the Legalists, right? The Sanctuary Dharma Palace will definitely like it!
Fart!
Their worst hatred is true!
The Dharma Palace has a legal rule, and there is a complete set of Legalist thoughts, and you publish new statements in their field, what is that called? Shouting and arguing!
Just like Lin Su's discussion of Taoism and painting with Qinglian that day, it is like painting the ancestral tomb of the Holy Family.
Saving Lu Youwei is a trivial matter, Lin Su has a hundred ways to do it easily, for example, asking her to cut her hair is one of them, as soon as her hair is cut, she is born in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of Lin Su, it is nothing, can't you pick it up without hair? How is it possible, no hair does not affect the feel......
In fact, it is not difficult to cross the original unreasonable so-called ancestral law, when the rule-making power is in your hands, what can't be done? Your Majesty is on his side, and a large number of newly promoted court dignitaries are on this side, what is not easy to do?
It stands to reason that there is no need to change the law now!
However, Lin Su also knows that a real law is needed at present!
The big cangs are waiting to be revived, and the big cangs need a clear sky!
Many little daughters-in-law blindly worship him, thinking that Lin Lang's well-being is a clear sky, but he deeply knows that if a country wants to be truly rich, and the people want a three-foot clear sky above their heads, he Lin Su is not the key, the key is to have a law!
Let the people have something to rely on, let the people have something to rely on, and let the people's property be seen, touched, and kept!
Let the people really put their minds at ease, lean on the big tree, and develop production without distraction!
This heartfelt belief is the most fundamental source of motivation for all people to move towards a goal!
Otherwise, living a precarious life, not knowing which day a thunder will fall on the head, who can let go of their hands and feet to chase the process of happiness?
While he was thinking, Zhou Mei sat on the table, and her legs were still swinging: "Why do I think you're a little difficult?" Otherwise, you better put it down, I'll go to Lu Youwei now, let her cut her hair, according to what I know about you, whether a woman has hair or not doesn't affect you at all to start harming, after explaining this reason, I think she will also be happy to escape into the empty door that doesn't know if it's empty......"
Lin Su glanced at her: "What's the hurry!" ”
"It's not very urgent, the key is that the night is long, what am I going to do if I don't go to Lingyin Temple? Do you just sleep? ”
Go to bed? Lin Su's eyes lifted and looked at her......
Zhou Mei came into contact with his gaze and seemed to be suddenly alert: "My God, did I provoke some kind of thought from you?" Don't get me wrong, when I say sleep, it's normal to sleep, sleep alone......"
Lin Su smiled: "What's the point of sleeping alone?" It's fun to have some activities! ”
Zhou Mei's face was red, she had never panicked, she panicked.
Lin Su's lips slowly leaned over, Zhou Mei's eyes rolled wildly, and a flower with colorful frames suddenly bloomed in her heart......
It's finally here!
He's finally done!
It is necessary to engage in "activities"......
Isn't that okay? I'm still a yellow flower girl, my father is still the prime minister, you have to do activities when you come up, who can stand it? Why don't you have a prelude or something, like hugging me and singing a song......
I have to run, it's not like I don't run!
But why are the legs a little disobedient......
Lin Su's lips were close to her ear and she said a long sentence......
Zhou Mei's frantic mind was calm for a moment...... (End of chapter)
