Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 111: Ancestral law theory (seeking subscription)

At present, there is actually no conclusion about the law of the ancestors.

What is the law of the ancestors? Everyone knows what is going on, or what the principle is, but they can't express it clearly.

The legendary "Three Precepts of Leshi", that is, "preserve the descendants of the Chai family"; "don't kill scholar-bureaucrats"; It is not yet known whether it actually exists.

But even if it exists, it belongs to the emperor's personal family rules, and the emperor can enforce it, because only the emperor can see it.

If you want to have legal effect on the people of the world, at least it must be announced to the public, this is the minimum.

The "Three Precepts of Leshi" is absolutely confidential, and no one has seen it except the emperor, so whether the emperor implements it or not depends on the emperor's personal will.

The "law of the ancestors" that the ministers talk about is actually a pocket law that is specifically aimed at the emperor, and it is only valid for the emperor.

Use this to persuade the emperor not to act arbitrarily.

This article is about the "ancestral law" often mentioned by ministers.

Instead of the "three precepts against rocks".

I know that you, old boy, have no good intentions. Wang Anshi quietly cast a contemptuous glance at Sima Guang.

The rest of the officials showed a strange excitement.

Good guy!

This is a bombshell.

Because according to Confucian filial piety, the law of the ancestors cannot be discussed indiscriminately.

It's good to say it well, but it's very dangerous to say it badly.

However, as far as the matter is concerned, Zhang Fei's reason for suing is the law of the ancestors. If this point is not explained clearly, the lawsuit will not be able to go forward.

But this concept is very vague. The people sitting here can't explain it clearly even if they ask themselves, and they dare not explain it. Law".

It seems that Zhang Fei is dead anyway!

Many officials were expecting Zhang Fei to make mistakes.

Even Shenzong outside the door felt a little nervous.

This ancestral law restricts him very much.

Concerning his vital interests.

"About the law of the ancestors...!"

Speaking, Zhang Fei was going to search for those documents, and he wrote down everything he wanted to say about today. Xu Zhiqian at the side hurriedly handed over a copy.

Zhang Fei glanced at the label, then gave Xu Zhiqian an appreciative look, then opened the document, and took a closer look.

The jury officers are dumbfounded.

Are you grinding your guns before the battle?

Although Zhang Fei played with details before, at least he relied on his mouth. This time it was too much. He just brought all the texts and read them out.

Won't you memorize it?

You retard!

"About the law of the ancestors...!"

Looking up, Zhang Fei found that many officials were looking at him in disbelief, so he explained: "Please forgive me, this matter is related to the law of the ancestors, I have to be careful not to say the wrong thing .”

It is indeed the same, he does not dare to talk nonsense about this matter, he must write it all down.

Sima Guang nodded and said: "It should be so, it should be so."

"Thank you Sima University for your understanding."

Zhang Fei cupped his hands and saluted, and said again: "Xiaomin thinks that the law of our ancestors in the Song Dynasty is only one sentence, which is an edict issued by Emperor Taizong, 'The former emperor has been in business for twenty years, and everything should be prevented." , the song is the system, the discipline has been set, and things have their own way. I should respect and inherit, and dare not go beyond'."

Fu Bi, who was sitting in the corner, nodded his head slightly. This sentence is definitely the most suitable explanation for the Great Song ancestor's law.

The construction of the entire Great Song Dynasty follows the guiding principle of "preventing things and making music".

"Audacity!"

Qi Hui immediately stood up, pointed at Zhang Fei and said: "You are a small pen, but you dare to judge the law of my ancestors. You are really a crime of disrespect."

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi looked at Qi Hui at the same time, and they both sighed secretly. They greeted you earlier, don't yell indiscriminately.

Except for Qi Hui, jurors such as Liu Shu also criticized Zhang Fei one after another.

Even including three or five officials who were watching the trial, they couldn't help but read a few words.

We don't dare to decide what is the law of the ancestors, so why do you, a bastard, decide?

It's so obvious.

If you decide, then...what shall we talk about after that?

Facing their reprimand, Zhang Fei said to Xu Zhiqian in a low voice: "It is really tormenting to have a lawsuit with such a group of unprofessional officials."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Then what should we do now?"

"Cold salad. What else can I do."

Speaking, Zhang Fei subconsciously went to grab the teacup, but it was empty, and said, "It's unreasonable! I don't even prepare the tea, but I know how to use these off-site tricks."

After they had finished reprimanding them, Zhang Fei said: "You judges, what you have said is convincing. I don't know what is the law of the ancestors based on the opinions of the judges?"

Qi Hui said: "We are not as bold as you, and dare not make this method, so as not to be disrespectful to our ancestors."

Zhang Fei smiled slightly and said: "According to everyone, this 'ancestral law' should be an 'indeterminate law', and I've heard of the 'uncertain law', what is an 'uncertain law', That is, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say."

Outside the door, Zhao Xu silently yelled for Zhang Fei.

It really tells the truth!

"Bastard!"

Liu Shu yelled angrily: "You...you are lawless and unforgivable."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "An indeterminate law is lawlessness, and it will breed chaotic officials and thieves. If there is a fixed law, the world will respect the law, and the world will be peaceful. Think about it, is it true?

The law of the ancestors is upright and upright, in order to ensure the stability of the country and the country, if it cannot be discussed, it is respect, it is clearly blasphemy. I think some people want to imitate that thief Cao, trying to take the law of their ancestors and seek the benefit of the country, and their hearts can be punished. "

Speaking of the latter, his eyes widened, and two rays of light shot out, his momentum greatly increased.

"You..."

Liu Shu was really scared.

But Liu Zhao looked at Shenzong secretly, seeing that his face was flushed with excitement, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, this kid is very eloquent!

"Enough!"

Wang Anshi suddenly said: "This question was asked by Bachelor Sima, so Zhang San cannot be blamed. If you don't ask about this method, this lawsuit will be out of the question."

Sima Guang glanced at Wang Anshi, you old boy really know how to stab a knife.

In view of the previous reprimands of the jurors, this sentence put all the responsibility on him.

Liu Shu snorted angrily and sat down.

Qi Hui and other officials gave Wang Anshi a look of contempt.

You are bringing disaster to the east. You want to drag Sima Guang into the water and let us kill each other. We will never let you succeed.

Wang Anshi smiled secretly, and then asked Zhang Fei: "You have just been established by the emperor for 20 years. Things are prevented, and music is controlled. Disciplines have been established, and things have their own rules. I should honor it. Don't dare to go beyond. 'This sentence is the law of the ancestors?"

Zhang Fei said: "And it's the only one."

Wang Anshi said: "What evidence do you have?"

Look! That's called professionalism. Zhang Fei looked at Wen Yu, and then replied slowly: "Since it is the law of the ancestors, not the theory of the ancestors, the actions of the ancestors, and the actions of the ancestors, then it must have the characteristics of legal regulations. There must be a written sentence pattern. If there is no written sentence pattern, it cannot be regarded as a law.

It can only be used as a reference for experience, and cannot have the force of law. The reason I just said is that if there is no written sentence pattern, everyone can borrow the law of their ancestors to seek the benefit of the country, just like the Cao thief who took the emperor to make the princes.

This is the real crime of disrespect. "

Sima Guang said: "But the ancestor's edict is not the only one. How can you conclude that this edict is the only ancestor's law?"

They don't object that this sentence is the law of the ancestors, but isn't it the only one?

They clearly disagree.

Zhang Fei flipped through the text again, read it for a while, and read directly to it: "Just now we have discussed the law of our ancestors. Since it is a law, it must have the characteristics of laws and regulations, that is, there must be written sentences. format.

However, the law of the ancestors was not included in the "Song Xingtong". It can be seen that the laws of the ancestors belong to a separate category of laws, and they are unique, restrictive and universal.

Look at the uniqueness first, as the name suggests, it is the only one, which cannot be reproduced. The law of the ancestors should only belong to the founding monarch, and the foundation laid for this country cannot be reproduced. "

With another founding king, the problem will be even bigger.

Wang Anshi nodded thoughtfully, thinking, how can he explain it like this!

The word ancestor is actually very controversial.

As long as time is long enough, there are infinitely many ancestors.

The current mainstream also refers to Taizu Taizong.

Uniqueness determines the founding king.

Let's not talk about the ancestors.

Liu Shu and the others actually disagree in their hearts. Why should you set the tone? You can't set the tone on this matter, but he really dare not say anything about it, he can only agree.

The founding emperor is above all else!

Zhang Fei turned a page and continued to read, "The founding king of my dynasty is the Taizu Taizong."

He didn't dare to just talk about Taizu, because the current emperors are all from Taizong's lineage, so Zhao Lao Er must be added.

I heard him read again: "Everyone, please listen to the first half of this edict, 'The first emperor started his business for 20 years, and things were prevented, and music was made. It is Taizong's edict, but it is Taizu's policy of governing the country, and I believe you are very clear about this."

He turned his face towards Xu Zhiqian, and Xu Zhiqian immediately put a document on the floor, all of which were open, Zhang Fei took it and read: "In the imperial edict of Taizu, there is The two sentences are like this, 'reform the old and start the new. The first emperor was appointed by Jing Ming. Change the family into a country. Hong Enyi should be in the Huan District.'

And among them, "reform the past and reform the new" and "change the family into a country" are in the same line as "prevention of things" and "system of music", which can also be confirmed that Taizong's edict is indeed a tribute to Taizu's governance of the country. summary of the policy. "

After speaking, he looked up at Sima Guang and the others.

No one spoke.

But with eyes full of contempt, you still have to read the imperial edict of Taizu's accession to the throne, you don't remember anything.

Thanks to the fact that Zhang Fei is not an official, otherwise, he would have been kicked out.

Every official sitting here can recite backwards.

But having said that, this argument is indeed relatively perfect.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Fei saw that there was no objection, so he continued: "It can be seen that Taizong has a deep understanding of righteousness, and clearly knows the uniqueness of the ancestor's law."

Han Qi stroked his beard and said in a low voice: "This son's debate skills are not inferior to yours and mine!"

Fu Bi laughed and said, "Mr. Han, don't underestimate yourself. There are many things he can say, but Mr. Han can't."

Han Qi smiled modestly, and said again: "That's right! If he can sit here, he has already won half the battle!"

It is indeed true, Zhang Fei's disadvantage is actually his advantage, he doesn't have so many scruples, it's already like this anyway.

The expressions of many officials changed.

This really needs to set the tone!

The uniqueness is just what Zhang Fei said, who would admit it?

How old are you Zhang Fei?

But it's hard to explain it like this. Taizong recognized it all, and he didn't talk about his own way of governing the country, he was talking about Taizu's way of governing the country. He also belonged to the founder of the country, but he still followed the policy of Taizu, who would dare to deny it?

Even from the point of view of the legal system, this logic can have legal effect.

Hmm... why is it a bit hot.

This has only just begun, and many officials have already regretted this lawsuit with Zhang Fei.

They would rather admit their mistakes, lose money, and be exonerated.

The law of the ancestors was given the tone by a person with a pen, which is really outrageous.

It is also not allowed by them.
