Chapter 55: Law and Etiquette
Pre-Qin Zuo Qiu Ming "Zuo Chuan: Twenty-one Years of Zhaogong": "The military will is there: the ancestors have the heart to win people, and the descendants will wait for their decline."
What does that mean!
It is said in the book of war that if you want to win a person beforehand, you must first win his mind; To win after the fact, one must wait for it to fail.
Three dukes and nine secretaries, more than a hundred officials came to look for him, and these people made a fuss.
He can't be suppressed.
Even if the first emperor is here, you have to think about it.
So, he had to be the first to speak.
Use your own flamboyant momentum to overwhelm the other party's menacing.
Looks.
It's very effective.
Looking at the courtiers who had come down one by one, Yingcheng lifted the stool and walked into the Dalu Mansion.
Following Yingcheng into the Great Law Mansion, there were also twenty-eight officials.
Enter!
Yingcheng knelt in the first place.
Below.
Li Zhan, Chun Yuyue, Zhang Rang, Gongyiqiu, Yang Hong and others sat down.
From the distribution of these seats, you can see that there is a big problem.
Beside Tingwei Li Zhan, there were nine people sitting.
By the side of Confucianism Chun Yue and Shusun Tong, there was no one.
Beside Zhang Rang, the regular servant, there were six people sitting.
Next to Shaofu Gongqiu, there was a person sitting.
Beside the general in the Taiwei Mansion, there were nine people sitting.
The remaining two, one Changshi Ling Gongzihuai represents the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the other Imperial Envoy Zhongcheng Zuoguang represents the Imperial History Mansion.
If you can't even understand this.
To be clear, it is.
In Daqin, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial History Mansion are transcendent existences.
The only one who can compete with the Legalists is the soldiers.
Government affairs, temple ceremonies, education, and financial expenditures are secondary.
The Shaofu has a special status outside the entire political, legal, and military groups, but it is not high.
As for Chun Yuyue and Shusun Tong, they are at the back and are not in the ranks.
At this time, the person sitting in this hall represented not an individual, but the entire Great Qin's real central group.
If you enlarge such a scale, it is the Great Qin pattern!
Meantime.
These people are just pawns.
Really decide whether to implement the new Qin law to the world, these people don't count.
He won the city, and it didn't count if he said it.
Facing the scene where the entire hall was silent and no one spoke, Yingcheng took the lead in breaking the deadlock and smiled:
"Ahem, I'm very fair and easy-going, standing in the Dalu Mansion, everyone can speak freely, without any scruples and burdens."
"Heh, you're very easygoing!" Before Yingcheng finished speaking, Li Zhan sneered.
Yingcheng smiled, did not pick up, but continued:
"In the Great Law Mansion, it is judged that he is not guilty."
"No matter what kind of remarks cause what kind of consequences, I, Yingcheng, will bear it alone, and it has nothing to do with the speaker."
Yingcheng paused, swept the faces of each small group, and continued:
"Here, I want you to understand a truth."
"The establishment of a new Qin law is certain and must be changed, as I said at the court meeting before, if it is not changed, Great Qin will definitely perish."
"The word law originally meant that fairness is like water, distinguishing between good and evil, so there is the word 'law' of the water hedgehog!"
"But no matter what, the Zhou public legal system is divided, Guan Zhong changes the law to set up nine major and heavy mansions, Li Yi changes the law to reward and punish, Wu Qi changes the law to strengthen the military, and Shang Jun changes the law to establish the county and county system of farming."
"The law is no longer simply fair as water, distinguishing between good and evil."
"The law is already a policy for governing the country, and every word of the rule of law will be the formulation of the national policy."
"Legislation now is like building a country and setting a national policy."
"Whether my Great Qin's strategy to strengthen the country can be born in this palace is not something that I Yingcheng can do alone, and everyone needs to work hard for it."
Yingcheng's voice echoed in the hall for a long time, and there was even a faint echo.
The twenty-eight people sitting in the empty hall still had a special mood.
But my thoughts were all pulled back.
"What the Great Law Decree says is very true!"
Seeing that no one responded, Chun Yuyue, who was sitting at the back, echoed.
But as soon as this sentence came out.
Li Zhan said with a straight smile: "The Great Law Order, legislation is okay, I, Li Zhan, am not talented, and I am willing to do my best." ”
"But there is one condition, this legislation is a state affair, and idle people cannot be allowed to join."
This miscellaneous people, etc.
You don't even need to name it.
Chun Yuyue retorted: "This statement is bad, the disadvantage of the Qin law lies in the word strictness." ”
"Coincidentally, the old man is not talented, and he has a strategy, and he can get rid of all the shortcomings of the Qin Law."
Li Zhan immediately reprimanded angrily: "You old horseman, you can live until now with evil words every day, and you still open your mouth and shut up and say that my Qin law is strict. ”
"Look, look, the old man just retorted to you, and you are like this." Chun Yuyue sneered:
"Thinking about it, the officials of Great Qin are all in the hands of people like you, how good can they be?"
'Bang'!
Yingcheng knew that there would be such a scene, and slapped the wood fiercely.
"It's okay to talk about the law, but don't verbally attack each other!"
Li Zhan and Chun Yuyue, who were arguing, were really startled by the surprise and obediently shut up.
Yingcheng, on the other hand, got up slowly.
On a silk book, with a stroke of the pen, three words were written.
"Law and Etiquette!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have only one topic today, Law and Etiquette!"
"The legislation of a country is nothing more than these two words."
"Speak freely, discuss this issue clearly, today is over, if you don't know it, then let's talk about it clearly."
With that, Yingcheng returned to his seat and glanced at everyone.
I saw that they were all pondering, but no one answered!
It really hurts!
In the matter of enacting the Qin Law, although there are ten outlines of the Qin Law as the basic guidelines.
However, if it is simply supplemented by the Ten Principles of the Qin Law, it will not solve the problem.
The cultivation of the national policy is just one of the drawbacks of the anachronism of the Qin law.
And he believes that the most important thing is to clarify the core issue of legislation, 'law and etiquette'!
In other words, it is a core principle that must be followed in legislation.
Especially.
This is a core principle that can be debated endlessly.
So.
It is necessary to combine the situation of Daqin now to carry out the core principles that are suitable for the present.
To put it more simply.
Where should the Dharma stop, and where should the Rite stop?
Because once the legislation is introduced.
The entire Great Qin, the entire world, will be determined by the twenty or thirty heads here, at most the twenty or thirty heads of the court, to determine the moral code of behavior of tens of millions of people.
I don't know what to say.
The matter of legislation is pure nonsense!
Nothing is forbidden by law!
This sentence is too heavy for a unified empire!
"Emperors, sages, hermits, children, immortals, literati, Shinong industry and commerce, medicine and astrology, danqing, qin and chess, prostitution soap pawns, and shaving and stealing slave eggs."
"Every class, where the law is, where the etiquette is."
"I and you are here to legislate for Daqin, what's the use, if it is hastily done, it should be discarded like a shoe, it is better not to stand."
"Since it is going to be established, then it is necessary to establish a Qin law that is enough to be famous for the ages and leave a name in history, which is a canon for the world and will be emulated by all generations."
Yingcheng said calmly.
Below.
The crowd who were still pondering.
After listening to this, his complexion gradually became solemn.
Extremely shocked, he stared at Yingcheng with a serious face and the three words behind Yingcheng.
Seems.
There is a mountain where Panheng is, so that they also bear it.
"Law and Etiquette!"
Li Zhan murmured softly, his eyes flickering.
