Chapter Ninety-Nine: Severe Punishment and Strict Law

Wu Changfeng picked up the pen, thought for a while, and immediately moved the pen like a fly and wrote. Zhu Yiyuan watched from the side, and the more he looked at him, the more frowning his brows became.

After waiting for more than half an hour, when Wu Changfeng stopped the brush, he had already written more than 1,000 words, which was very atmospheric.

He raised his head suddenly, looked at Zhu Yiyuan, in his eyes, there seemed to be confusion, but also unwilling, ask himself, his literary skills are not bad, and his reading is also solid, why can't he even pass the exam, this is a strange thing.

Zhu Yiyuan slowly picked up his article and said casually: "Have you read Han Feizi? ”

Wu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "I read it in the early years. How do you see it? ”

Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "You have written out all the strict punishment laws, I can't see it?" A person's thoughts can't be hidden, I think you admire Shang Yang very much, right? ”

Wu Changfeng was stunned again, "What's the matter, over the years, Wen Tian has been martial arts, and the discipline has been abolished, and it is time to establish prestige, win the hearts of the people, eradicate silverfish, and revitalize the prestige of the country...... Isn't that right? ”

Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "It's not wrong, it's not in line with the examiner's appetite, I know the reason why you have failed many times." ”

Wu Changfeng's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the new examiner thinks?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan shook his head, "From the bottom of my heart, I don't like this article of yours. Especially the interior part. ”

Wu Changfeng changed color, he wanted to attack, but he pressed it down, and finally only said, "I can't imagine that he is also a pedantic person." ”

Zhu Yiyuan laughed, "Wu Changfeng, you sit down first, let's have a good chat." ”

Wu Changfeng reluctantly sat down, and Zhu Yiyuan poured him a glass of water, and then said: "You respect the Qin law, then I want to ask you, what does the Qin State rely on to unify the six countries?" ”

Wu Changfeng blurted out: "Naturally, it is a strict punishment and a strict law, and the order is forbidden." ”

Zhu Yiyuan shook his head, "Otherwise, it is good for the Qin State to pursue legalism, but at the critical moment when the First Emperor unified the world, it was Prime Minister Lu Buwei, who absorbed all factions and achieved miscellaneous families." In the course of the battle, it is not simply to record the merits of the first rank, and change the appearance of the tiger and wolf division...... It was this adjustment that enabled the Qin army to successfully sweep the Six Kingdoms. Of course, the Qin State is the foundation of the Legalists, needless to say, but LΓΌ Buwei's merits cannot be underestimated, he reconciled Confucianism and Mo, and merged Confucianism, why is this? ”

Wu Changfeng was suddenly startled, he was surrounded by some pedantic scholars, everyone fell into the eight shares, and they didn't understand these at all, so he was quite surprised to hear Zhu Yiyuan's words.

"What do you have to teach you?"

Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "I can't talk about it, I want to ask you, the Qing army let Duoduo go south, the slaughter of Yangzhou, the slaughter of Jiading, and the slaughter of Jiangyin...... Killing all the way, people and gods are angry, but why did he send Hong Chengchou to appease Jiangnan? ”

Wu Changfeng thought for a while, and said: "Blindly slaughtering, the people rose up to resist, one Jiangyin killed tens of thousands of Qing soldiers, and then ten or eight Jiangyin, I am afraid that the Tartars will die!" ”

Wu Changfeng thought about it again, and suddenly realized, "What does it mean, is it necessary to combine rigidity and softness?" For example, the Qin State ruled the world, although the Battle of Changping killed 400,000 Zhao troops, but if the people of the six countries would rather die than surrender, and fight one city after another, the Qin army will definitely not be able to take the world? ”

Zhu Yiyuan said: "Although the Qin State is despised by the six eastern countries, it is only natural that the Zhou royal family is divided into princes, and it is natural for them to go out and conquer the world. Now that the Eight Banners have entered the customs, it is easy to shave their hair and obey, and there is a tendency for the world to die, which is not as simple as changing the surname to change the country. You told me that you should punish the law harshly and stop the Qing army? ”

Wu Changfeng was completely confused, was he wrong?

"Nonsense, if you don't use the study of Legalism, do you want to use the theory of Confucianism? If they are useful, why should the country be in turmoil and the Tartars enter the customs? Wu Changfeng said angrily.

Zhu Yiyuan chuckled: "What? Can't think of anything else but Confucianism? ”

"Ahh Wu Changfeng subconsciously shouted, "Can you still use Huang Lao?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan said: "The Legalists pursue strict punishment and strict laws, and no matter what, it is not good to treat ordinary people. Confucianism loves to be inferior, and people are noble and low. After all, it is to govern the people with benevolence and righteousness. And he didn't think of himself as a citizen! ”

"As a common man?" Wu Changfeng was shocked, "I really can't understand what I said. ”

"There is nothing we don't understand, we are all ordinary people, we come from the people, and we have to do things for the people, go to the people, and solve problems for them. The hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, more or less, all have a bit of a high taste, it seems that the Mo family can be better, but in the final analysis, there are not many scholars who are willing to really stand with the poor people. Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "So I don't appreciate your harsh punishment and law, we don't want to punish and drive the people, but to be close to the people and love the people, do things for the people, and solve problems for them." ”

Wu Changfeng became more and more confused, "Zhu Yanshi, this, what's the difference between this and those rotten words?" ”

"There is a big difference, because we want to be close to the people and love the people, we are those tenants who have no land and little land, we are the peddlers and pawns in the city, we are the miserable slaves and maids, and we are the poor people who occupy the vast majority and no one cares."

Wu Changfeng furrowed his brows, and suddenly said, "What about those powerful and powerful rooms, gentlemen and doctors?" ”

"Naturally, it is a complete reckoning!" Zhu Yiyuan sneered: "Just the strict punishment is enough? You don't ask, who made the law? With their methods, no matter what, it is difficult to shake their foundation. can't escape the fate of people dying and dying. Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said, "Wu Changfeng, what do you think of my reasoning compared to yours?" ”

Wu Changfeng sat there speechless for a long time, his heart was overturned, my God, he initially thought that Zhu Yiyuan was pedantic, had no courage, and couldn't be ruthless, and he felt very disappointed.

But in the end, Zhu Yiyuan's sharpness was revealed, which made him embarrassed and ashamed.

The two sides are not at all on the same level.

What he thinks about is just a set of severe punishments, and Zhu Yiyuan wants to dig up the ancestral graves of those people and completely liquidate them.

Not only to call you a jerk, but to argue that you are a jerk.

And you have to take away all your property, which is reasonable and legal.

What kind of severe punishment and strict law, Lao Tzu is not, I call it for heaven and for the people.

The more Wu Changfeng thought about it, the more he felt that what Zhu Yiyuan said was reasonable, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was enjoyable...... "Excuse me, then, is it possible to do it now?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "It's not about doing it, it's about making decisions for the people." I can remind you that the root of this set of principles is not to let you bully the wealthy and giants, but to let you be close to the people and love the people, because only by standing on the side of the people can you be justified, this is fundamental! When you forget the people, you are self-authoritarian, you feel high, calling for wind and rain, and doing whatever you want. At that point, naturally someone will cut off Er's dog's head! ”

Wu Changfeng was shocked, and his face changed suddenly.

Finally nodded, "I understand." ”

Zhu Yiyuan said: "Okay, I will appoint you as the deputy director of the Judicial Affairs Department now, responsible for cleaning up the unjust case in Tancheng, are you willing?" ”

Wu Changfeng jumped up almost all at once, his eyes glowing.

"What's the matter, are you making me an official?"

Zhu Yiyuan didn't speak, but picked up the pen and wrote three words at the back of his article: Tong Xiucai.

"You know what I mean, right?"

Wu Changfeng was stunned and muttered: "Tong Jinshi is not a Jinshi, and Tong Xiucai is not a Xiucai." ”

Zhu Yiyuan smiled: "So you need to do things well." ”

Wu Changfeng nodded vigorously, "Xiaguan understands." ”
