Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 387 Dr. Zhang

call..

When Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Xu left, all the ministers present breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that the conversation was a little real, but the Song Dynasty was actually okay, because the literati were relatively strong, and there was nothing to talk about. Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi spoke more blatantly.

It’s just that the ideas of Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi have existed since ancient times. Although Wang Anshi’s ideas are somewhat advanced, they still inherit most of Sang Hongyang’s ideas. What, how will your own interests change.

However, although they understood the law of the rule of law, they could not understand it thoroughly for a while. This is the reason. Even the scholar-bureaucrats like them are extremely lacking in personal awareness and only have the idea of ​​family and country.

This is true even for the most selfish person.

Because selfishness is a matter of character, and personal rights are a kind of thought.

It's not the same thing.

It sounds like there are pros and cons.

When I looked up, Zhang Fei was gone, and those students were discussing fiercely around the board as before.

They left the hall quietly, but when they got out of the hall, some ministers surrounded Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and the others.

"You must not try this, not to mention whether Zhang San's words make sense, but this method will definitely subvert the current system of etiquette and law. If there is a mistake, there will be endless disasters!"

"I also think this sounds weird."

"Etiquette is the foundation of law, but according to what Zhang San said, the etiquette and law must be separated, and the etiquette is only used as a reference, which must not work."

They are you talking, I talking, the tone is full of worry.

Although they don't understand it thoroughly, they have a concept, and they understand it very clearly.

That is, personal rights are used as the principle of criminalization, and morality is used as the reference basis for criminalization. In other words, violating etiquette is not necessarily illegal.

Li became a dogma that was not mandatory. From this point of view, it was obvious that the ritual system was to be weakened.

These old masters naturally don't want to see them.

Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang looked around.

What about Fu Bi?

About this idea, Fu Bi knew better than them, but after searching for a while, he didn't see Fu Bi.

Sima Guang winked at Wen Yanbo, as if to say, here are all old men, about the same age as you, and I'm just a junior, so let's talk about it.

Wen Yanbo glanced at Sima Guang unhappily, then pondered for a while, and said: "Although that is the case, the current court is mainly talking about benefits, not etiquette."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but looked at each other again.

Although Wen Yanbo spoke very euphemistically, he was referring to Wang Anshi's New Deal.

Rites can bring them benefits, but can they protect their interests?

This is a relative relationship.

When facing the emperor, ritual cannot protect him, because the emperor is the biggest.

But then again, apart from the emperor, they are at an advantage.

As far as current affairs are concerned, the New Deal is what they are most afraid of at present.

Defending the legitimate rights and interests of individuals is not a bad thing for those with vested interests.

Wen Yanbo said again: "So, I think I can try it, but I have to see how the etiquette and law are combined in the end. If the etiquette is above the law, it is not impossible, but we must be cautious. If the official decides easily, then Of course we won't agree."

When he said that, those people nodded again.

If we can protect our rights and interests from being easily taken away by the emperor on the one hand, and at the same time maintain ethics, then it is feasible.

In fact, Wen Yanbo is not very supportive, but Fu Bi is very supportive, so he still believes in Fu Bi.

At this time, Fu Bi was rushing to the side door.

I saw Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian standing at the side door with Fu Bi's book boy. It turned out that Fu Bi ordered the book boy to chase after Zhang Fei and let Zhang Fei wait for a while, after all, he was not very agile.

"Sorry for keeping you guys waiting."

Coming to the side door, Fu Bi repeatedly bowed his hands to Zhang Fei.

Xu Zhiqian hurriedly saluted, Fu Bi could be regarded as a grandfather.

Zhang Fei also said sincerely and fearfully: "Don't dare, dare not, I don't know what advice Fu Gong has?"

Fu Bi laughed and said, "It's Lao Zhuo who wants to ask you for advice. There are still two questions that Lao Zhuo hasn't figured out yet."

Xu Zhiqian was used to this. After Zhang Fei's class, his father wanted to rely on his relationship to get some content out.

Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "Fu Gong, please tell me."

Fu Bi said: "First of all, if virtue dominates the law and supplements the law, it will inevitably increase the work of the government, and it will cost a lot of money. How to solve this? Secondly, the punishment can be changed, patriarchal law, family law, how to deal with this?"

According to the current law, it is generally impossible for a wife to sue the government, but if it is revised, the number of lawsuits in this area will inevitably increase, and the work of the government will also increase. As far as the current financial situation of the imperial court is concerned, it is basically supporting no.

Well said, if you can't do it, it's useless.

In addition, the real etiquette lies in the patriarchal and clan laws of the village.

Considering that the imperial power does not come down to the county, how the village is managed is that the gentry manages it by virtue of etiquette, and the patriarchal and clan laws are all extensions of Confucian etiquette.

This is the reason why Confucianism is deeply rooted. You can change the laws of the country, but you cannot change the laws of the country, not even the emperor.

In fact, Fu Bi was also aware of the contradiction between the two before, but he also knew why Zhang Fei kept using the legalist law as an example, and he didn't want to cause the contradiction between the legal system and the Confucian law.

But it does not hinder the revision of the law. Fu Bi thought at the time that the law should be divided into two parts first, and some laws and regulations should be based on the protection of interests, rather than ending with punishment.

It's a pity that in the end, Zhang Fei didn't perfuse the past. In this class, Zhang Fei thoroughly explained the relationship between the law of the legal system and the law of Confucianism, which naturally extended to new problems.

Zhang Fei didn't answer and asked instead: "Your rich man, you know why our dynasty wants to revise the law of relatives and neighbors and the law of succession."

Fu Bi immediately said: "It's because our government does not suppress business and mergers, which leads to the prosperity of towns and cities. Many people are far away from their hometowns and relatives. As a result, the original laws of relatives and neighbors and inheritance laws are not applicable."

The Law of Relatives and Neighbors mainly involves the sale and purchase of houses and fields. According to the law, one must first ask relatives whether to buy them, but in Bianjing City, many relatives of citizens are thousands of miles away. The cost is too high.

The same is true of the inheritance law. If a businessman dies in a foreign country, how will the property around him be inherited? The key is also the merchants in Xixia and Liao.

After finishing speaking, Fu Bi suddenly came to his senses and asked, "You mean, the law of the rule of law is only implemented in towns?"

Zhang Fei nodded: "Because people in this country generally clean their doors, and there are relatively few conflicts of interest between them, and they live in very scattered places. The cost of setting up a judicial system is very high, but the benefits that can be obtained are very high. And very little.

If the imperial court wants to do this, I suggest that they should only be set up in large towns with prosperous commerce. As for the villages, their patriarchal and rural laws should be maintained, and the judiciary should only intervene in some important cases that occur in the villages. "

Law and economy are closely related, and the rule of law is of great help to business, but under the small peasant economy, it really has little effect, the key cost is too high, and the finances cannot afford it at all.

Fu Bi nodded: "It is feasible."

Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "Does Fu Gong have any other questions?"

Fu Bi was startled, and hurriedly said, "No, thank you for your advice."

"Don't dare!"

Zhang Fei said again: "If there is nothing else, then I will leave first."

Fu Bi nodded slightly.

After getting into the carriage, Xu Zhiqian finally couldn't hold back her excitement, "It seems that the officials, the queen mother, and the rich man all support your legal system. Maybe the imperial court may really amend it."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "This is not an easy task. It involves all aspects. Don't have too much hope, lest you will be disappointed when the time comes."

This is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, and it must be a very long process.

"That's true." Xu Zhiqian nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "But there is a question, I also want to ask you."

Zhang Fei asked, "What's the problem?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "It's your yin and yang diagram, which can only be spilled from the husband to the wife. Where did this convention come from?"

Zhang Fei glanced at her, "Xu Quanquan?"

Xu Zhiqian asked curiously, "What Xu Quanquan?"

"It's nothing..." Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, this is the principle of the cycle of heaven and earth, and I can only explain it to you after we get married."

What is the relationship between the two?Xu Zhiqian was even more curious: "Why?"

"because.."

Zhang Fei said: "It's hard to explain this. I will personally operate it with you, and you will immediately understand why only husbands can spill into their wives, but wives can never spill into their husbands."

Xu Zhiqian asked eagerly: "Isn't it possible to operate now?"

"Now.."

Zhang Fei looked around, "It's not impossible, but it's not easy to operate here."

"Not very easy to operate?"

The more Xu Zhiqian listened, the more confused she became.

Zhang Fei said again: "Oh! In fact, you can also understand it this way, this is a manifestation of women's tolerance, wrapping, clamping, and even inhalation..."

Xu Zhiqian asked, "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Fei clicked his tongue: "I told you when I got married, I'll tell you, anyway, it's almost here, we'll get married at the end of the year. Hehe."

As he spoke, he hugged Xu Zhiqian into his arms again.

Xu Zhiqian smiled shyly, "After getting married, I won't let you overflow easily."

"That won't do."

Zhang Fei said solemnly: "It must be overflowed, and it must be overflowed every day."

Xu Zhiqian snorted softly, "Let's wait and see."

"Let's see?"

Zhang Fei couldn't help moving his lower arm.

Xu Zhiqian asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Fei asked back, "How much do you weigh?"

Back at Zhang's house, I saw Lan Yuanzhen sitting in the hall drinking hot tea.

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Xu Zhiqian again, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty has seen the nobleman."

Lan Yuanzhen smiled and said: "Zhang San, congratulations, congratulations!"

Zhang Fei asked curiously, "Congratulations on what?"

Lan Yuanzhen laughed and said, "Congratulations on your promotion."

"Promotion?"

Zhang Fei said in surprise.

Lan Yuanzhen laughed and said: "And you still skipped six grades in a row, your class is really worth it."

"Six levels in a row."

Zhang Fei took a breath of air, "Then what grade of official am I now?"

Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four.

Can you directly upgrade to the fourth rank?

This..

The emperor is too kind to me.

Lan Yuanzhen took out an imperial edict, "The official made an exception and promoted you to be a Doctor of Imperial Law, the eighth grade."

"Ah? Eighth grade?"

The corner of Zhang Fei's mouth twitched.

"It's the eighth grade."

Lan Yuanzhen said: "What? Don't you think it's rare? Our family tells you that it's extremely rare for someone like you who can skip six grades in a row without taking the imperial examination!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Zhang Fei came to his senses and hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty is so gracious, I am so grateful."
