Chapter 382 The essence is still a dispute between two laws(1/3)

Don't laugh!

Indeed no one laughed.

Both the students and the ministers looked at the wooden board blankly.

"Official! This is a good idea. Let's not say whether it is feasible or not, but at least it sounds like there is no problem."

Empress Dowager Cao whispered to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu replied: "My grandson doesn't think there is a problem, it's them who say there is a problem."

Queen Mother Cao glanced at those ministers with disgust and murmured in her heart, it seems that they are still a little too idle!

But the ministers are also feeling miserable!

Zhang Fei has never mentioned this issue before.

Zhang Fei was only elaborating on the concept of the legal system and legislative thoughts, but did not closely link the legal system and the monarch.

Because he was just giving lectures at that time, it was just about learning, so Zhang Fei kept making analogies between the Legalist method and the Confucian method. He did not suggest that the emperor do this, and he did not have the qualifications.

Everyone has not thought of this aspect.

But if the emperor wants to do this, it will immediately become the emperor's protection of the people.

Is it wrong for the emperor to protect the interests of the people from being violated?

But Zhang Fei had never mentioned this issue at all before. He was not dealing with the emperor, but with students. He could only say that ministers could use this statement when advising the monarch.

This is why Empress Dowager Cao, who came to attend the class on the first day, felt that this guy spoke very well, but after listening to the class for a few days, she felt a little confused.

"Ahem!"

Fu Bi suddenly stood up and said: "It is certainly not wrong for a monarch to protect the legitimate interests of the people, but if it is really used to legislate, it will also conflict with the general ethics.

For example, if a wife accuses her husband, even if it is true, she will be punished for two years according to the law. This method follows the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, but it goes against the concept of the legal system, because according to the legal system, relatively speaking, both ends of the law are equal.

Yes, but the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Principles are not equal."

The other ministers reacted immediately and nodded frequently.

Fu Bi said very straightforwardly that people are unequal. This is also the core of Confucianism and the biggest contradiction with the legal system.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "What Mr. Fu said makes sense, but now the students and I are discussing whether we are violating the law or not?"

us?

Not you?

Shangguan Jun and others only think of Alexander!

Wen Yanbo said: "The Yushitai only asked you to interrogate and did not convict you. Otherwise, how could you stand here. The Yushitai also has the power to do so."

"I very much agree with what Mr. Wen said."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I am just explaining the reasons why I am not guilty. I absolutely do not think Yushitai made any fault in this case."

Wen Yanbo was surprised: "Is this true?"

"Absolutely true!"

After saying that, Zhang Fei said to those students: "Do you know why?"

Those students all shook their heads.

Zhang Fei explained: "Because the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Officials hold power, and a small mistake may hurt many people. This requires stricter supervision. If I were a common person,

I will definitely go to court with the Yushitai, because I think I am innocent.

But now that I am an official, he must face these, so now I just explain that I am not guilty, but I will never deny Yushitai’s actions. Not only that, if the officials want to punish Yushitai for this, I will

I will also stand up and speak out for Yushitai."

Jiang Zhiqi, Peng Siyan and other Taiwan admonishment officials looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.

Are you sincere?

But it sounds so hypocritical!

Shangguan Jun questioned: "But wasn't the teacher also mocking Yushitai just now?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "What do you know? It's called fun. This also proves that I am not angry about it. It has been a while since I came out, but have you heard that I clamored to appeal? Where can I go?

Are you making a fuss? I just quickly started this class and explained the problem clearly. I have no resentment at all towards Yushitai. And..."

He looked at Jiang Zhiqi and Peng Siyan, "Jiang Yushi and Peng Yushi can also testify for me. I am very cooperative with the Yushitai's investigation. I will say whatever they ask, without any lies or falsehoods."

Everyone immediately looked at Jiang Zhiqi and Peng Siyan.

Jiang and Peng were silent.

During the interrogation process, Zhang Fei was indeed very cooperative, even betraying his father-in-law very directly, without even half a second of hesitation.

The trial was completed very quickly.

By remaining silent, they acquiesced.

The students looked at each other.

It seems to be the same thing.

Zhang Fei didn't make any noise, nor did he go to Kaifeng Mansion to play drums. They didn't know that Li Kai was really panicking in those days. According to Zhang Fei's personality, he must come to complain. This kid is bound to retaliate.

.

"but."

Zhang Fei suddenly said again.

Everyone immediately looked at Zhang Fei with contempt.

as expected.

There is a "but".

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "You can't do this when facing the people. You can't arrest people just because they said such a thing. You still have to provide evidence and follow the judicial process.

There is a huge difference between saying something while standing in the Imperial Academy and saying something standing on the edge of a field. Can you understand?"

The students nodded slightly.

But the surrounding officials felt like they wanted to curse, but couldn't.

Who the hell told you that you don’t need to provide evidence when arresting our officials?

This is a complete double standard!

But they are still in trouble.

This guy is really bad!

Mr. Lu heard the implication and exclaimed: "This brat hasn't changed at all, he's still as bad as ever."

Zhang Fei asked again: "Do you think what I said makes sense?"

The students hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Zhang Fei suddenly looked at Fu Bi, "Does Mr. Fu think what I say makes sense? Supervision of officials should be stricter than supervision of the common people."

Fu Bi nodded and said, "It should be so."

Zhang Fei retreated to the wooden board, "Then do you think my statement violates ordinary ethics?"

Fu Bi couldn't help but frown. He, who was always eloquent, couldn't answer at this time.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Anshi smiled and said: "Wonderful!"

Sima Guang was silent.

Shangguan Jun replied: "Of course it doesn't violate it."

Zhang Fei asked: "How do you say this?"

Shangguan Jun said: "The king is the guide for his ministers, the husband is the guide for his wife, and the father is the guide for his son. It is from top to bottom. The king should set an example for his ministers, the husband should set an example for his wife, and the father should set an example for his son. Naturally,

The requirements for the king, husband, and father are higher, isn’t this what the teacher said before?”

Zhang Fei asked again: "Then why is the wife not allowed to sue her husband? Isn't this condoning her husband's breaking the law?"

"this...."

Shangguan Jun looked at his classmates asking for help again.

They now have a clear consensus that when facing Zhang Fei's problem, they must unite as one, otherwise, they will be completely unstoppable.

Cai Jing said nonchalantly: "As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to settle family affairs. There will always be conflicts between monarchs and ministers, between husband and wife, and between father and son. If both sides are justified, one party will inevitably give in. In this way

Only then can we live in peace with each other. If there is no consistent ethics, quarrels will inevitably intensify."

Everyone nodded.

Well said!

That's the truth.
