Gu Dan took the exhausted Zheng Fei and came to the Gu family's courtyard slowly.

Pushing open the courtyard door, a figure in a dragon robe sat beside the stone table in the courtyard.

Seeing Gu Dan coming back, Emperor Qizhi hurriedly got up and said hello.

"No need to be polite."

Gu Dan's eyes looked at Zheng Fei.

Zheng Fei's eyes are not good, but he can't be regarded as really blind, but he can't see very clearly, and everything outside a few zhang will gradually blur and he can't see it really.

But at this time, Emperor Qizhi had already come over, and no matter how bad he was, he could always recognize the dragon robe clearly.

Shocked at the moment, Zheng Fei hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Meet Emperor Xia."

Except for particularly important occasions, such as ancestor worship and other food, the Xia Dynasty did not stipulate that you must bow down when you see the emperor, and this is especially true for informal occasions.

As for the title of Emperor Xia, it is the true identity of Emperor Qizhi, 'The word Qizhi is said to be the name of the year, but it is not used, it just distinguishes him from Emperor Chengping and Wang Mang, and tells the world that the Xia Dynasty has changed emperors.

From beginning to end, the only identity he had was Emperor Xia, the emperor of the Xia Dynasty.

Emperor Qizhi looked at Zheng Fei with his eyes.

was detained in prison for three months, and it seemed a little praise to describe Zheng Fei at this time as raunchy, and at this time Zheng Fei exuded a slightly smelly smell - fortunately, the Gu family's courtyard has always been very fragrant, and it is easy to suppress the smell on his body.

But even if you only look at the appearance, Zheng Fei at this time can't be said to be dignified, he can only be said to be haggard.

The pale face has a scruffy beard, and the eyes have no pupils, all gray and gray, and they belong to the type that makes people uncomfortable when they stare at it.

Such a person will be disliked if he is thrown into the crowd, and being able to be a small official in the Xia Dynasty is considered his ability.

"Didn't you dare to throw your sword at me a few months ago? How can I see you again today, so politely, without the majesty of a street patrolman?"

Emperor Qizhi raised his head and acted proudly.

It's a pity that for Zheng Fei, this move is tantamount to throwing flattery to the blind, Zheng Fei can't even see people clearly, let alone the subtle expressions on his face.

However, although the expression is not real, the meaning in the voice is not incomprehensible.

Zheng Fei said seriously: "A few months ago, I saw someone riding a fierce beast on the street, so I went to scold it first. Indifferent to the reprimand, just throwing the sword with him, it is also against the beast and not at the man, how can it be regarded as throwing the sword at you?

The laws of the Xia Dynasty stipulate that those who do not listen to the advice can first surrender and take it down before sending it down. When the beast walks in the streets, it should be subdued first, so that it will not hurt anyone."

"Isn't this a good head?"

Qizhi Dile.

Throwing a sword at a green bull and throwing a sword at him is fundamentally not the same nature.

If that sword flew towards Emperor Qizhi, don't care if it hits or not, a name for assassinating the king will definitely not be able to escape.

But Zheng Fei himself couldn't see clearly, and the long sword he threw was also hitting the green ox, not deflected, and counting his bad eyes, he really didn't find that the person on the back of the green cow had a Xia Emperor, and there was no other way to say this-of course, the most important reason was that Mr. Gu was willing, and by the way, he was not a tyrant.

"After being detained for three months, do you want to punish me again?"

Emperor Qizhi touched his chin and made it clear that he wanted to make things difficult for Zheng Fei, "After all, you are routine, but I disturbed the peace and threw you into a prison cell without trial."

"Offending the emperor's majesty is not a crime that is deserved."

This time, Zheng Fei is no longer headed.

There are many crimes related to the emperor, including but not limited to assassinating the emperor, offending the emperor's prestige, and obstructing the emperor's orders...... And so on and so forth, and so on, there's always something for him.

The Legalists themselves must follow the law in doing things, but the Legalists have never said that the emperor must also follow the procedures of the law.

In other words, the emperor of the Xia Dynasty himself had the right to go beyond the legal process.

As for the Xia Emperor

What should I do if I am caught disobeying the law...... I really don't know.

At least when Shang was still there, the two Xia Emperors, whether they were Emperor Chengping or Emperor Qizhi, had never offended the laws of the Xia Dynasty, and even if there was one behind their backs, no one had ever poked it out.

Zheng Fei's incident is the first time it has ever happened.

He really caught Emperor Xia disobeying the laws of the Xia Dynasty on the street!

It was precisely because this was the first time that it was the first time that the conflict between the emperor and the law in the Xia Dynasty occurred that Zheng Fei refused to admit his guilt.

Death is death, and the law is great.

The embankment of a thousand miles cannot be destroyed on his body.

He would rather die than open the law of the Xia Dynasty on his body, even if the other party is the emperor.

Even if Shang is not in the temple, Zheng Fei wants to let the world know that the disciples of the Legalists are like this, and the emperor cannot be spared, so who dares to try to provoke the law?

The ink man used his life to defend and love non-attack, and created the glory of the Mo family.

Confucian scholars used money and hard work to prove their benevolence and let the world know the Confucian philosophy.

Why can't the eagle dog of the Legalist use his life to tell the world about the strictness of the Legalist?

In this life, there must be something more important than life, right?

If there is really a person who wants to die because of impartial law enforcement, Zheng Fei can let himself die.

"I don't want to understand this, if I want you to die, you won't see the sun the next day."

Emperor Qizhi walked up to Zheng Feide and patted him on the shoulder, not disgusted with the dirty on his body, "Come, sit down."

"There is one more matter, please Emperor Xia to make a clear decision."

Zheng Fei didn't move his steps, but lowered his head and said.

"What's the matter?"

"I also ask Emperor Xia to pay a fine of the first class."

Zheng Fei said.

Those who set fire to beasts in the street and have not injured anyone disturb the peace will be fined one class.

Of course, the first armor is not a real armor, if it can really be taken out and handed over, but it is a big deal, the crime of hiding the armor is a real big crime, and it is not good to say that the nine clans will have fun together.

The so-called fine of a armor is actually the money for casting an armor, which is already a lot, but ordinary people don't have the ability to indulge fierce beasts, right?

Those who are worthy of the name of fierce beasts must at least be at the level of wild wolves, poisonous snakes, and even tigers, and it is unlikely that ordinary people will do that, and it is not necessary for the children of the gentlemen.

This law is to warn those who have nothing to do all day long, have money and leisure, and are thinking about how to be in the limelight, they really can do such a thing, but they just happened to hit Emperor Qizhi.

"You—"

Emperor Qizhi gasped.

It's not over, isn't it?

"It's two, and my share. I brought the green bull back, and strictly speaking, he just rode it for a while."

Gu Dan added.

"Okay."

Gu Dan has spoken, what else can Emperor Qizhi want to say? You can only nod your head.

What Mr. Gu said was right, if it wasn't right, it was his own mistake.

The money paid to the two represents respect for the laws of the Xia Dynasty and respect for the merchants.

"Sit down first."

A few people came to sit down on the stools next to the stone table, and the willow trees that had grown a lot were shrouded in shade, adding shade to the place.

"Zheng Fei, what do you think the law is?"

Sitting on the stone bench, Gu Dan was the first to ask.

"The law is the means by which justice is kept, and the way of the world is maintained."

Zheng Fei said without hesitation.

"Yes, it's not."

Gu Dan nodded first, then shook his head slightly, "The law upholds the way of the world, you are right. But the law never guarantees fairness, and it does not guarantee fairness when, where, or wherever, you must remember that."

The Xia Dynasty didn't have it yet

'The rule that you can't be courteous to a person and can't punish a doctor is by no means unexpected, but he deliberately didn't make it.

If the punishment is unknowable, it is unpredictable.

Zheng Fei's insistence is because: when the laws of the Xia Dynasty even the emperor must follow, otherwise he will be punished, the strictness of the laws of the Xia Dynasty will inevitably be greatly improved, and it will also make the world better understand that the majesty of the laws of the Xia Dynasty cannot be offended. The imprint of Legalism will be incomparably clear, and there will be examples to be found.

But this is by no means a matter of course, and I have never heard of whipping a horse and having to give yourself two blows.

It's just because Gu Dan is willing to nod, just because Emperor Qizhi gives him face.

If this is a normal and reasonable thing, that person must be very naïve.

"I'll tell you what the law is. The law is different from person to person, it is an instrument of domination of the state, and it is the manifestation of the will of the people at the top to the bottom.

From the day the law was born, it was not for justice, much less for justice. The greatest function of the law is to warn future generations, and all the punishments in it come from this."

Gu Dan tried his best to choose words that Zheng Fei could understand, and explained these things clearly.

If there were no drastic changes in heaven and earth, if there was no revival of aura, he could completely let Zheng Fei think about it himself, which should be more rewarding than if he said it directly.

However, time is running out.

It's only been a few years since the world changed dramatically?

Now the changes are almost obvious, far more drastic than the small fights in the Buzhou Mountains, like clouds and mud.

He went out with Shang and met a green bull that could be called a spirit animal.

How many creatures in this world that he has not yet seen, but who have already been created?

The old era is about to usher in the biggest impact, and if you still hold on to the ideas of the past at this time, it will definitely not be a thing to be thankful for the Xia Dynasty.

Shang told the old man to resign and leave, does he really have no energy to deal with the affairs of the temple anymore?

This is only part of the reason.

Part of the reason is that Shang also saw the new changes in heaven and earth, but his longevity was no longer enough to support him to complete the second transformation of the Xia Dynasty, which was more suitable for the transformation of the new environment.

In this case, there is no point in sticking to the old law, just go out and see the new world and hand over the temple to the newcomers.

After his test, Zheng Fei's determination and perseverance have been recognized.

After all, he can't do everything himself, and he can still do this kind of thing by mentioning this kind of thing to his juniors, and he has been doing it.

How can the sages born from his hands not be considered to help the world?

"The law, by its very nature, represents the person who is able to exercise his rights. And in the Xia Dynasty, that one is the Xia Emperor, a relative of the emperor, a hundred officials and hundreds of officials, and even a small official like you...... Of course, they don't weigh the same weight as each other, but that's power."

Gu Dan's voice was calm and unwavering, without any emotion, "The Xia Dynasty can not have the appearance it has today, it is inseparable from the efforts of many people, and you also have a share of this. But you have to be clear about the relationship between this matter, and the law itself is not for justice. Whoever holds the law is equivalent to whoever controls the fate of others, and you want to hand it over to the person who made it, is it possible?

Not to mention anything else, if he cuts you down in this courtyard today, do you think there will be a lawsuit against Emperor Xia tomorrow?"

Gu Dan's hand pointed to Emperor Qizhi.

Undoubtedly, no.

Not only will it not, but maybe it will also reprimand Zheng Fei for not having long eyes, having eyes but no beads - not only in the literal sense of the word.

That's the real reality.

Ruthless, bloody, and full of flowers, all are mottled blood stains and bones, no matter how nice it sounds, the facts are there, and it cannot be denied.

You have to really face up to the problem in order to find a solution.

After this output, Zheng Fei's face was extremely ugly.

His thinking in the cage was far less thorough, or rather daring to be so thorough.

Because the Xia Dynasty is a place full of hope, there are sages here, and people who can make people's blood boil and throw their heads and sprinkle blood just by their names.

So he could naively think that the Xia Dynasty was different from other places.

But there is always something, it is the same.

It can't be changed.

No matter how gorgeous the rhetoric, no matter how brilliant the rhetoric, no matter how gentle the tone, can not erase the essential differences, the more we pursue fairness, the more we can find the loopholes.

Hopes, dreams, or whatever, of course, can be blurted out, and dying for it is nothing, but if you really want to do practical things, you must think about it.

"Is the law such a filthy thing?"

Zheng Fei couldn't accept it.

"No, the law is not dirty.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of the power of the law that the Xia Dynasty can enter the prosperous scene it is today.

Could it be that a kitchen knife has cut pork, so you can't cut vegetables anymore? As long as the knife is a good knife, it is nothing more than watching the dishes go under the knife.

But if you want to chop vegetables with the same force as you cut pork, or even cut fine iron, the first to wear out must be the blade."

Gu Dan said solemnly, "For ordinary people, they have the opportunity to use this knife and cut where it should be, which is already the greatest luck.

But what you want to do now is to let the person with the knife cut himself, even if one or two people are willing to use the knife to shave their hair? That's not what the law can do."

"So how do you do that?"

Zheng Fei didn't dare to delay a little, and asked in a hurry, like a person who hoped to see the sun at night.

"Make the biggest rules."

Gu Dan said.

"The biggest rule?"

Zheng Fei was stunned for a moment, as if he had an understanding.
