Otherworldly Chapter 177: Extrajudicial Grace

After reading the poem he had just written a few times, he thought of the previous sentence, but he didn't expect Su You to complete the second sentence. It's not very neat, but it feels good. Su You's simple two sentences actually made him feel like he was back outside the plug, and he was still shocked.

Hua Guangrong looked up at his daughter and said, "You originally told me that Su You might be the designer of those new blades, so he is extremely valued by the Sun family. Later, in the ring competition, he showed shocking cultivation strength, and the legendary prince even hinted that he also cultivated fire vitality in addition to the gold-water dual system. When I had a brief encounter with him just now, I felt that he was not only extraordinary, but also had an outstanding literary talent, which was simply outstanding. Lan'er has a good eye, but with such an excellent man, it is even more difficult to include him in the Hua family. ”

He sighed again: "Alas, our Hua family has been reduced to the point of looking for men everywhere to get rich!" ”

Hua Jinglan bit her lip and said silently, as if she had made up some kind of determination: "Dad, if he doesn't want to be rich, I will choose him too!" ”

Hua Guangrong looked at her daughter with sharp eyes, Hua Jinglan looked back at her father with a stubborn expression, "Is the continuation of the descendants of the Hua family really so important, do you have to sacrifice your daughter's happiness?" How long can the Hua family survive in this way? ”

Hua Guangrong's face was angry, and his body, which was as hard as an iron bar, emitted a compelling momentum, staring at Hua Jinglan's face that was also full of anger. After a long time, his face softened: "Let's take a look first, he hasn't liked you yet!" He is so good, the Sun clan may marry the women of the clan to him in order to woo him. ”

Hua Jinglan was really stunned, thought about it and said confidently: "I will make him fall in love with me!" ”

The smug look in Hua Guangrong's eyes flashed away, knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's father, he successfully aroused his daughter's competitiveness. He was already extremely happy about Su You's son, and of course hoped that his daughter could capture his heart. He beckoned to a little old man in the distance, returned the temporarily forcibly requisitioned stall to him, and then threw him two silver ingots, and then left under the sad eyes of the old man.

Su You walked to the middle of the square and was intercepted again, but it was the Yao Legend brothers and sisters who stopped them, and they were still accompanied by the Fu brothers. They hadn't seen each other for many days since they had parted at the last feast. Su You also wondered why they didn't go to the cultural meeting in the palace, but went to the square outside. He gladly stepped forward and greeted him.

The legendary prince explained: They have grown up playing in the palace since they were children, and they do not have the excitement and yearning for the palace as ordinary people, and prefer the freedom to hang out outside.

Knowing that Su You's family did not have a wooden plaque, he greeted Shen Yanping's mother and daughter first, then took the wooden plaque handed over by Fu Biao and handed it to Su You. said: "The four main cities get a certain number of wooden plaques every year, and I have many here, just for you." I asked Fu Biao to accompany you in, and the guards would not suspect it. My brother and sister still have something to delay, or we will go in with you. ”

Su You didn't dare to do it, and he didn't shirk the wooden card and thanked the legendary prince. The mother knew that it was the prince and the prince in front of her, and she looked very restrained. Yao Shuqi is well-behaved and sweet-mouthed, and a few words make the mother and daughter feel relaxed. In the end, they made an appointment to get together again in the near future, and Yao Legend asked Fu Biao to send them into the palace.

Su You has a good relationship with the Fu brothers, among which Fu Biao's personality is lively and cheerful, and he is more chatty. Several people walked back to the west gate of the palace. Mother and sister were very excited, and Mao Sui couldn't imagine that one day he would be able to swagger into the palace, hey! The swagger is a bit exaggerated, in short, it is unimpeded, and they are all a little impatient.

Sure enough, the guards saw Fu Biao's sign and let them in without asking.

In the distance outside the door, after Su You and his party entered, in an inconspicuous corner, two people gathered together and whispered to each other. One said: "He Zhong's family and the two masters of Wanjian walked together, and they didn't mean to leave for a while, so I came over to meet the leader first." ”

"Chief" said: "The person who entered just now is a friend of the two Ten Thousand Blade Masters, and it seems that his position is still higher than those two, I will find out his identity." Alas, there are many people in the square, and we can't do anything with He Zhong's father and daughter? We have missed the opportunity to bring this family of three back. You can only collect as much information as possible and report it, and wait for instructions and punishments from above! ”

The subordinate said in fear: "Who knew that He Lao'er was so cunning, and he escaped our pursuit several times on the road. But the villain could have intercepted them before they entered the imperial capital, but there was indeed an accident, a stranger suddenly attacked us, He Zhong took the opportunity to escape, I really don't blame me for this! Please also ask the leader to say a few kind words for the villain. ”

"Chief" nodded, "I already know what happened." But failure is failure, and punishment cannot be avoided. When the time comes, I will report the person who sabotaged our operation, and see how it is decided. ”

The men clenched their fists gratefully. The two blended into the crowd and disappeared. On the other side, there were also people secretly watching Su You and the others enter the palace.

Su You didn't know all this, they were shocked by the prosperity of the palace.

There is also a large square inside the "Suqing Gate", and the palace is in the distance, seeing the splendid and majestic palaces, the visual impact makes them feel their breathing accelerate.

Fu Biao is not the first time he came, so he was much calmer. He led the way in front and introduced them to them. The imperial palace covers an area of dozens of miles, which is larger than the general city, and is the city within the city of the imperial capital, the imperial city. There are countless palaces in the imperial city, and the one that holds the cultural meeting at the moment is the "Wanluo Palace" that entertains state guests!

Passing through the palace gate guarded by the purple armor and purple armor forbidden soldiers, you can see an open imperial garden, with countless strange flowers and plants, a blue pond in the middle, a small bridge covering it, and the pavilion is by the water. What's even more surprising is that it is the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and there are lotus flowers in full bloom in the pond. Aren't lotus flowers only available in summer?

In the garden, there are already many literati with hair crowns or scarves on their heads, and they are dressed in official clothes. Even in winter, the young people hold folding fans or jade utensils in their hands, and from time to time hold the fan and raise their heads to the sky, making a chic picture. The elderly wear a scarf on their heads, carry their backs with one hand, and hold their beards with the other.

In the distance of the Imperial Garden, there is a temple, and there is a stone carving beast on the left and right next to the door, like a dragon and a lin. The two walls of the left and right marble hanging screens, each hanging a couplet of book scrolls, on the book "grand meeting to write a chapter, the literary world to compete in the romance." The poetry union is the occasion of the "Jade Chapter Spring Festival" event.

The door of the hall is open, faintly see its inner hall is magnificent, carved beams and painted buildings, there are ancient jade bottles displayed everywhere, and the mahogany tables and chairs placed are even more antique. The huge hall was also full of people, sitting or standing in twos and threes, talking in small circles.

Yang Chan looked at the talented and beautiful women in the garden with interest, listened to their greetings, and commented on each other's articles and poems. Looking at the people in the hall from afar, he said in his heart: It turns out that these people are contemporary literati and celebrities.

Mao Sui and Shen Yanping were a little restrained, and Su You took them to a corner of the garden. Looking around, I didn't see Baishan and the Oke people, and I didn't know where they were.

Fu Biao was mainly Su You, and he followed him. Su You was thinking about where to find Baishan, and a person walked out of the hall, but it was the second grandfather and grandson Chongshan. Sun Chongshan beckoned to him from afar, and Su You led a few people along the garden stone path to him.

Entering the hall, Sun Chongshan said with a smile: "You gave the wooden card to Bai Shan, and I thought you were hiding outside and didn't want to come in." He glanced at Fu Biao, and Fu Biao hurriedly saluted and reported to the door. Sun Chongshan knew that they had come in with the Platinum City wooden card.

Sun Chongshan remembered something and said: "I don't know the name of your first word, last time in Qifeng Tower, you hid and didn't make a sound." ”

Sun Chongshan pulled this poem so high in Qifeng Tower, how dare he admit that it was his work. smiled and said, "Let's call it Dingfengchao!" The others don't know why.

Sun Chongshan's eyes lit up and nodded: "Set the storm!" Yes, it's a good nameplate name. Come! I'll take you to meet a few people. He didn't care whether Su You was willing or not, and dragged him away.

Seeing Qin Cangyue first, Su You's heart tightened. Sure enough, Qin Cangyue glanced at him expressionlessly, and he didn't know if he was still blaming him for causing Qin Ziyan's angina pectoris last time, and he definitely didn't expect him to give him a good face.

Su You hurriedly looked at the others, including Chen Xueqian, whom Su You knew, and the other people were introduced by Sun Chongshan, namely Du Ruhai and Zhao Zhongshu, the scholars of the Taixue Palace. There are also two people who are Qian Guanzhong, the chief historian, and Wang Youlun, the eunuch of the palace, Su You didn't know what official position it was, so he saluted them one by one.

Several people smiled and nodded, only thinking that Su You was a junior of Sun Chongshan. They continued on the topic and occasionally got into an argument. Su You stood aside quietly, and slowly heard some taste. They are discussing the system of national policy. It involves several parts of laws, decrees, bureaucracy, and procedures. The law is the first and is used for convictions, the government decree is the management system of the state, the official system is the regulation of the scope of duties of civil and military officials, and the program refers to the work regulations of each department.

At this time, they had just finished discussing some of the new decrees, and several of them began to discuss the law, and the topic revolved around whether the law came before or after reason.

Wang Youlun, the supervisor of the palace, is about fifty years old, his eyes are a little puffy, he seems to be in poor spirits, and he has a white face and beard, so he should be a civil official. is dressed in civilian clothes, but even if he wears an official uniform, Su You will not know how many grades he has in his official residence. He advocated that feelings precede the law, emphasizing that the law is nothing more than human feelings. Criticize Xinhao's current law for being too harsh and inhumane.

The long historian Qian Guanzhong's body is a little bloated, his face is also round, and he looks blessed. He refuted Wang Youlun's proposition, his concept is: the law must come first, the law is to maintain the bottom line of morality, morality is human feelings, and the law exists to protect human feelings. Most of the human favors should be called reasonable; Most of the doctrine should be called the provisions of the law. At the end of the day, the supremacy of the law is all about better serving humanity!

Su You somewhat understood that ancient laws usually refer to criminal law, unlike modern criminal law, civil law, economic aspects, administrative aspects, and national security laws. What they are arguing about is whether the law is inexorable or whether the law is nothing more than human affection in the modern world, and the key is to dialectically from what angle.

Qin Cangyue and several other scholars stood aside and did not help anyone. Sun Chongshan saw that Su You seemed to be bowing his head and pondering, so he asked, "Su You, you heard the two adults arguing, what do you think?" ”

Well? Hearing that Sun Chongshan actually went to ask the opinion of a junior, not only Du Ruhai and Zhao Zhongshu, who were also bachelors, were puzzled, but Qian Guanzhong and Wang Youlun forgot to continue talking, could it be that this kid named Su You has any origins?

Su You just wanted to excuse himself, but seeing that Qin Cangyue was also looking at him, he felt the need to say something, after all, he was Qin Ziyan's father, and he didn't dare to say that he would be impressed, and he also had to redeem some of his bad impression of himself.

Then he replied: "The boy just heard that the two adults have their own opinions, but each has its own reason. The kid thinks: The law also serves the people, not cold control, but with temperature! Fairness and justice are the core cornerstones of the law, but the law cannot go beyond the basic emotions and ethics of the people. ”

Seeing that although a few people were noncommittal, they were listening carefully, Su You continued: "We often talk about governing the country according to the law and governing according to the law, mainly for those who exercise power. If the power is too large and concentrated, and the people's will is unpredictable, law enforcers will inevitably have selfish motives, which will lead to a situation of favoritism or even bending the law for personal gain in the process of law enforcement. The so-called intolerance of the law should mean that there is no tolerance for personal feelings. ”

Several people's eyes kept widening, and when they heard "the law does not tolerate mercy, it means that private feelings are not tolerated," they were shocked. Yes, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing, and if the law enforcement power is placed in the hands of a small number of law enforcers, then the probability of them bending the law for personal gain is too high. Whether it's strict or lenient, aren't they up to the mark? Then the question is not about who comes first around the law and favors, but how to make the law enforcers enforce the law fairly and strictly!

Su You's words made several people fall into deep thought, but they were also even more clueless. Su You started and wanted to take the opportunity to explain as clearly as possible. continued: "It is precisely the existence of human factors, so the kid thinks that the legislation is still strict, the law enforcement is still lenient, and he blindly punishes severely, and when there is a wrong case or a complaint, due to the excessive sentencing, it causes great harm to the people. This is the meaning of the law, which the kid understands is nothing more than human affection, and extrajudicial mercy is the greatest human favor to maintain justice! ”

Speaking of "extrajudicial grace", Su You looked at Qin Cangyue, he was carrying private goods, and by the way, he pleaded with Qin Cangyue for his behavior towards Qin Ziyan. Qin Cangyue's face really softened, I don't know if it was affected by Su You's words or if he understood what he said, he looked encouraging and asked, "Then what solution do you have?" ”

Yes, since he proposed it, then he should have a solution. Qian Guanzhong immediately looked at Su You expectantly.
