Chapter 362 Song Xingtong(1/3)
At noon.
Imperial College.
Two teaching assistants in their fifties had just returned to the Imperial College after eating out. They found that the Imperial College had three floors inside and three floors outside.
There were seven or eight servants in the courtyard who were hurriedly cleaning.
One of them immediately said: "Is it Zhang San's class again today?"
"Yeah! It's true. It seems that the officials and others will come here to listen to the class again."
"Every day the officials and a bunch of ministers come here to listen to the lectures of a young child. Is it possible that our government affairs have become so idle?"
"If that were not the case, how could that boy Zhang San dare to be so arrogant? He has been coming to the Imperial College for a while, but he has visited us before. Every time, he arrives here just before class and leaves right after class."
"This kind of person is worthy of being a teacher."
During the conversation, the two of them passed by the largest classroom in the middle and saw two old men sitting in it. They both looked surprised and looked at each other. They quickly stopped talking and hurried past.
These two old men were Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo.
You must know that there is still some time before class, and the two prime ministers of the country have arrived so early to occupy seats. Su Shi was not so diligent even when he went to the brothel.
this..
"The rich man seems to have recovered. This is really gratifying and congratulatory."
Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
Fu Bi couldn't help but blush, nodded and said: "I admit that the reason why I stayed behind closed doors before was because I did not agree with Wang Jiefu's new law."
Wen Yanbo asked: "In that case, why didn't the rich man stand up and dissuade the officials?"
Fu Bi sighed helplessly: "During the Qingli New Deal, I also hated Xia Song and others, and often quarreled with them. Now that Wang Jiefu wants to change the law, if I stand up to oppose it, wouldn't I be becoming the person I once hated?"
The right thing to do is, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. This is not what a gentleman should do."
Having said this, he glanced at Wen Yanbo and said, "It's not what the officials want either."
Wen Yanbo nodded slightly and added: "But Mr. Fu seems to have a special liking for this legal system, and he is more active than the students in class."
He was originally going to come later, but when he was eating out, he saw Fu Bi rushing this way, so he followed him.
Fu Bi nodded and said with a smile: "I don't deny that Zhang San's legal system is really fascinating. I recently read ancient and modern books, and except for Yang Zhu's few words, there is no thought similar to it. This
It makes people think deeply as to why this is the case.”
Wen Yanbo said: "The rule of law is an idea of serving the people, and doesn't Confucianism also advocate benevolent government and love for the people?"
Fu Bi said: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. In the end, it is the boat that is protected, not the water. Therefore, Confucianism is often powerless when encountering a coward or a tyrant."
Wen Yanbo asked: "Can the legal system be achieved?"
Fu Bi shook his head and said: "I don't have a clue yet. Let's see what he says in this class. In the previous class, although Zhang San explained the relationship between the law of law and Confucian law, and the law of law, he did not
Explain clearly what legitimate rights and interests are? And how to defend them? Does not paying taxes count as defending personal legitimate rights and interests? Does the state's taxing more count as infringement of personal rights and interests? If so, what should be done? "
Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "I have thought about this too, but can this be explained clearly?"
Fu Bi said: "Let's see what he says today."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard that it became noisy outside. Wen Yanbo said: "It seems that the officials are here."
When the two went out, they saw, as expected, that they saw Zhao Xu, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu and others walking toward them while chatting.
Although the logical relationship between the three laws was clearly explained in class, Zhang Fei did not give a clear explanation of the most important "legitimate rights and interests".
Stealing, robbing and killing is a crime. This is indeed a consensus. It was not thought up by some saint. It was formed naturally. It is indeed easy to understand using this explanation.
But the country's problems often do not arise because of these consensuses. Most of these are just isolated cases. Which dynasty goes to destruction is not because of these problems.
Moreover, when Zhang Fei explained Legalist law and Confucian law, he talked about the interests of the people, but when he talked about the legal system, he avoided these issues.
As everyone discussed and thought, everyone found that the nature of the legal system had not been explained clearly.
Everyone was looking forward to this class very much, and they all came early, and then, like before, they waited blankly for Zhang Fei.
Of course, Zhang Fei was the last one to arrive as always. He just made sure that he would not be late and you would arrive early, so who can blame you?
But when he saw Zhao Xu, he was still very frightened and said: "I am guilty. I have kept your Majesty waiting for so long. Please forgive me."
Everyone looked at him with contempt.
Then why don't you come earlier?
Are your affairs busier than the emperor's?
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "That's all, I'm used to it."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty."
Zhao Xu waved his hand again and said: "Go and give lectures quickly."
Suddenly I heard a commotion.
"Where did the woman come from?"
Everyone looked up.
I saw Xu Zhiqian standing in front of the door tremblingly.
Xu Zun couldn't help but glare at her angrily.
He had told Xu Zhiqian several times that she must not come to this occasion because there were all old masters here.
But this time Xu Zhiqian was shameless and wanted to follow him, because every time there was a class, the prime minister would run home, but it didn't sound like a very profound truth, and she also wanted to know what the class was talking about.
As expected, it immediately aroused the angry looks of many old masters.
They are all men, how can it be inappropriate for a girl to run here?
Didn't you see that the brothels are all open next door, but not inside the Imperial College?
Zhang Fei hurried up to the podium and coughed: "There may be a lot of content today, and this class may be delayed a little later. The Imperial College has not provided us with a special assistant, so I specially asked Madam Xu to come over and help me make tea. Quench your thirst, everyone has no objections, right?"
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."
The students spoke in unison.
If you are willing to talk more, we have no objection to what you do, but we are afraid that you will end the get out of class halfway through.
No one can say for sure.
If you don't allow it, get out of class will be dismissed if you have a dry mouth.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Zhang Fei repeatedly raised his hand.
Li Si and Long Wu carried a small tea table and placed it in the corner inside, and placed a small brazier. Xu Zhiqian lowered her head and hurried over, like a maid, and began to work.
As Zhang Fei came to the podium, no one paid attention to her anymore. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Fei.
Beauty?
In the face of the law, beautiful women are nothing.
In this classroom, the most charming one is undoubtedly Zhang Fei, even though everyone is male.
Zhang Fei stood on the podium, opened his small notebook, looked up, raised his head and said: "In the last class, we have clearly explained the relationship and difference between the legal system, Confucian law, and Legalist law, and
Why should everyone take Legalist law as a warning? Because under Legalist law, there is no legal system. In this lesson, we will use some specific cases to analyze."
"teacher!"
Cai Bian suddenly spoke.
Zhang Fei glanced at him, "What?"
Cai Bian asked uneasily: "Actually, we still have some questions that we didn't understand in the last class."
Zhang Fei's complaints have invisibly left a shadow on them.
They also drew lots in private as to who raised this question, and the final draw was Cai Bian.
Zhang Fei frowned upon hearing this.
Cai Bian suddenly panicked and said, "Student is stupid, teacher, please forgive me."
They have now had self-doubt. They really don't know whether Zhang Fei explained this, or whether they are stupid and can't understand it.
Zhang Fei asked: "What's the problem?"
Cai Bian immediately said: "It's about legitimate rights and interests. In the last class, the teacher said that when Confucian laws meet legal laws, legal laws should come first. But since ancient times, conflicts between the court and the people have often appeared over taxation.
According to what the teacher said, in many cases, such as excessive taxation and people not paying taxes, it should be regarded as defending the legitimate rights and interests of individuals."
This is where I drop a bombshell.
Everyone looked at Zhang Fei expectantly. This problem has been bothering them these past few days.
How does the legal system explain tax issues?
This is the source of the contradiction!
