Chapter 56: The Controversy between Law and Etiquette
"The law, the balance of the country, the criterion of time!"
"Etiquette, the noble and the low, the young and the old, the rich and the poor!"
Li Zhan didn't seem to be making trouble anymore, got up and took the lead in setting the big tone, and said:
"Use the law to measure the rights and wrongs of the people's words and deeds, and restrain the formation of etiquette through coercive methods such as rewards and punishments."
"That is, heaven and earth respect their own teachers, the young and the old, the rich and the poor, can be forcibly restrained by the law."
"If the son is not filial to the father, punish him by law, if the father is not kind to the son, punish him by law, if the disciple does not respect the teacher, punish him by the law, relatives and friends, the old and the young, the noble and the low, can all be punished according to the law."
Li Zhan said and returned to his seat.
"Xiaguan Yan Huai!"
As soon as Li Zhan said, Yan Huai next to him got up and saluted:
"Whoever is forbidden by the lord of men will do what is good for the people and forbidden for what is evil for the people. The feelings of the people do not want to live and die, and they do not want to gain and harm. Therefore, if the order is given to the living and the benefit of the people, the order is carried out; It is forbidden to kill or harm others, and it is forbidden to prohibit it. The reason why the order is carried out must be that the people will be happy with its government, and the order will be carried out. Therefore, it is said: "You have to give orders." ”
"Xiaguan Meng Sheng!"
As soon as Yan Huai finished speaking, Meng Sheng, who was sitting next to Li Zhan, got up and saluted:
"The kingdom of the Lord, the one who orders, the one who speaks the most noble; Those who are in law are the fittest. Words are both precious, and the law is not suitable, so those who do not follow the law must be forbidden. If they are unable to make it and can take over the fraud, adapt, make profits, and speculate, they will take their words and take responsibility. If you say it, you will have great benefits; If it is improper, it is a felony. It is the fool who fears sin and does not dare to speak, and the wise man has no lawsuit. There is no reason for this! ”
"Xiaguan Li Cheng!"
"The rich are not to be made, and the poor are shameless. horizontal but not flowing, passive is exhausted; The clouds are flat and the rain is not much, there are no clouds, and the rain is gone; If the government is peaceful and there is no authority, it will not work, and if there is love without relatives, it will flow. ”
It's too strong!
Yingcheng looked at the people sitting next to Li Zhan and got up one after another to discuss.
The rhetoric is convincing.
Li Zhan only set the major tone, and the people next to him came up to discuss it one by one.
Proof is bound by the law.
Among them, it is not just a book of Shang Jun.
Li Si first Confucianism and then law, and has dabbled in the knowledge of miscellaneous families, Mo families, industrial families and other hundreds of schools.
Especially since the Great Qin dominated the world, Shen Buxiao's 'technique' died, Han Fei's 'magic technique' died, and Li Si's 'law' became almost the same as the first emperor, becoming a classic taker.
The current Qin law is no longer comparable to the Shang Jun law.
This is also the reason why Legalism occupies half of the Great Qin.
Legalism is also keeping pace with the times, constantly absorbing the results of victory.
But it's clear.
Chun Yuyue, who had long been impatient, resolutely disagreed with Li Zhan's viewpoint.
"The punishment is the assistant of virtue, the yin is the help of the yang, and the lord of the yang is also!"
"The way is to govern, all to be punished, and the people are free and shameless. The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified. ”
Chun Yuyue got up and saluted, and said with a smile that didn't take Li Zhan and the others in his eyes at all:
"The Lord of Rites is the Law, and the Law is born for the Rites.
"The essential difference between mortals and animals is that they know etiquette. If a man does not know how to be polite, he is no different from an animal. ”
"Only by measuring the standards of the law by etiquette can the people consciously abide by etiquette, be loyal to the monarch and the courtiers, be kind to the father and the son, be harmonious with family friends, and respect the teacher."
Uncle Sun Tong also went into battle shirtless, only the two of them, and said with all his might:
"Morality and righteousness, incivility is not successful, teaching righteousness and vulgarity, incivility is not prepared, division and debate, incivility is not good, kings and ministers, fathers and sons, incivility is uncertain,"
"The eunuch is indecent and indecent; The Ban Dynasty governs the army, and the officials practice the law, and it is not good to be indecent and majestic; Pray for shrines and sacrifices, offer to ghosts and gods, indecent and insincere. ”
"Only by formulating laws suitable for people to abide by Lilly can the country unify the decrees and make the people consciously abide by the decrees."
"Restrain etiquette with strong laws, the people are not afraid of the strong, the ministers do not obey the king, the monarchs and ministers are centrifuged, the monarchs and the people are centrifuged, and the chaos in the world begins here!"
After that, Chun Yuyue and Shusun Tong retreated.
But he had the intention of waiting for Li Zhan's refutation and continuing to fight.
Equally strong.
Listening to the sound of continuing to argue, Yingcheng sighed in his heart!
The Confucian theories of these two have come into their own.
As far as the Dharma rites themselves are concerned, the Dharma was born from the rites, and the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties spanned thousands of years and had an extremely profound heritage.
The continuation of the 800-year Zhou Fenfeng is, to a large extent, the maintenance of rituals.
Equally.
Because of the conflicts and contradictions between the old and new landlords and the aristocracy, the idea of governing the country under the rule of law was born.
The law of etiquette represented the interests of the old aristocracy, and the rule of law represented the interests of the new landlords.
If combined with the long development, it is possible to get a glimpse of the leopard.
Etiquette is a hierarchical class law.
The biggest drawback of etiquette is that it does not take a hundred years, eleven or twelve years, to quickly form a class solidification.
By the time 100 years had passed, the class blockade had begun.
By the time of the two hundred years, the contradiction between the rise and fall of the classes had arisen.
Legalism, on the other hand, was the product of the beginning of contradictions two hundred years later, and its gradual prosperity began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
And the etiquette was annihilated in the dust with the decline of the old aristocracy represented by the Zhou royal family.
However.
With the fall of the Six Kingdoms, the world was unified.
The wheel of history began to turn repeatedly, and Daqin, the empire that controlled the world, also began the fate of the Zhou royal family.
And it can't be avoided.
Legalists, began to consolidate and strengthen the interests of the old aristocracy.
At this stage, there is only a sign of it.
Even if Great Qin continues.
A hundred years later, Great Qin will definitely be the second Zhou Dynasty.
However.
What really made him ponder was that the ritual law went from ritual and law, to law and etiquette, and returned to ritual law.
The ritual law is rubbed into the Legalist rule of the country, whether it is nondescript.
From the perspective of 5,000 years, the new ritual law has greatly accelerated the class struggle.
Just one of the rules of etiquette to restrain the monarchy, once it changes, it has never been broken.
"I think that whether it is law or etiquette, conventions and customs, established rules, and implementation!"
"In essence, I still want to make the Great Qin Kingdom rich and strong!"
Gong Yi Qiu Le sat on the spot and said with a smile: "There is no need to fight for your life, in fact, just keep a principle." ”
"To put it simply, Afang Palace has to be built, and Shaofu has no financial support."
"What are the materials used, who should be used, who will manage them, and who will maintain order and ensure stability."
"Based on such a criterion, I will formulate the Qin Law of my Great Qin, and I don't care if he is a law or a law."
"Those who benefit me Daqin are good, and those who are not good to me Daqin are bad!"
As soon as Gongyi Qiu finished speaking, Li Zhan's vicious gaze came.
If you can't say it, don't say it, shut up!
Yingcheng thinks so too!
That's right.
That's a good point.
Don't say it next time.
It can't be helped.
The two people of Shaofu, to put it bluntly, have no political power.
They are all official offices that passively accept orders, so they don't care about Qin Law at all.
Gradually, the atmosphere in the entire hall was raised.
They all began to express their opinions one after another.
"That's right, that's right, the law and etiquette are too grand, and they must be implemented after all." Yang Hong, the middle protector, also laughed and said: "I just think that now my Great Qin's method is very good, and there is nothing to change." ”
"But this is if Your Majesty wants to change it, then change it."
"Maintain a principle, a strong country first strengthens the army, a rich country first becomes a rich soldier, soldiers fight to the death for the country, blood is not shed, and there is no truce."
"Those who do not accept it, trample on it!"
Yingcheng rolled his eyes.
The Great Qin military monopolized half of the country, only in charge of the military, and opened his mouth to ask for money and food, who to destroy.
People don't worry about other things at all.
But it's possible.
Meng Tian waved his army north to build the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu, and Tu Sui waved his army south to destroy South Vietnam.
It is a manifestation of the impatience of this empire.
The result of this is that it once again added an unbearable burden to Daqin.
But there is no way, people only think, if you can't bring grain and grass, I will behead you; I will behead you for the remnants of the armor you gave to your soldiers.
Military law is waiting!
And that's it.
The actual situation is that when you go out of Hangu Pass, you can see generals who monopolize military and political power everywhere.
These issues are not on his mind for the time being.
Now, he's only talking about Dharma and etiquette!
Such arguments have obvious effect.
Shaofu, the central protector general is not involved.
It's almost over.
Yingcheng got up and walked in front of Li Zhan's desk.
Li Zhan looked up at Yingcheng proudly, looking like this, if you dare to abolish the study of the Legalist, I will do it against you.
And the people next to Li Zhan.
This is the henchman, the blatant henchman, who tells him without any disguise, we are together, what are you doing!
Yingcheng shook his head, and his eyes swept over Zhang Rang, Gongyiqiu, Yang Hong and others.
In the end, it fell on Chun Yuyue and Shusun Tong.
In the middle of the move, Yingcheng stood in front of Chun Yuyue.
Chun Yuyue is not afraid at all, he is going to go out and do a big job.
"The Great Law, Etiquette First......"
Chun Yuyue saw Yingcheng standing in front of him, and was about to continue, but Yingcheng smiled, and suddenly said angrily with a cold face:
"You're an old thing, what a thing!"
Moment.
Chun Yuyue's pupils dilated, staring at Yingcheng in disbelief.
Even Shusun Tong is going to stand up and fight.
This is already a verbal insult.
Unexpectedly, I didn't figure out why Yingcheng insulted him like this.
And among the four, everyone's expressions were wonderful.
Especially Li Zhan, with a smile on his face, indescribably comfortable, even looking at Yingcheng's eyes, it was a lot softer.
"The Great Law Order scolds well!" Li Zhan applauded on the spot, and he was full of energy.
Yingcheng took two steps back, smiled, looked at Li Zhan seriously and asked:
"Do you think I'm scolding?"
"That's nature, Confucianism is all dross." Li Zhan replied confidently.
Yingcheng shook his head and asked strangely: "Chun Yuyue is my father's teacher, the teacher is like my father, then like my grandfather, I am insulting my grandfather now, does Tingwei think it is illegal?" ”
"This!" Li Zhan's face gradually froze.
Yingcheng smiled and continued: "I remember, filial piety is written into the Qin law. ”
"Lest the old man accuse people of unfilial piety, killing, and not being the three rings? If you don't want to be in the ring, you can't lose it! ”
"So, filial piety by the rule of law, I just violated filial piety, and you applaud the case, and you will be punished for the same crime."
