Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 373: Add fuel to the fire
Chapter 373 Adding fuel to the fire
Although Zhang Fei is a rookie in the officialdom, he has studied ancient laws, and he also knows why the rule of law did not appear in feudal society.
Since he was going to teach this lesson, he certainly knew what he might face. Although this process caught him off guard, he was not completely unprepared.
"What is this?"
Xu Zhiqian couldn't help asking curiously as she watched Zhang Fei returning home clutching a bundle.
Zhang Fei glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk in the room."
"Oh."
Xu Zhiqian nodded, and immediately entered the room with Zhang Fei.
Patter clatter.
As soon as Zhang Fei opened the bag, he saw more than a dozen memorials falling from it.
Xu Zhiqian exclaimed: "This is..."
"Memorial."
Zhang Fei hehe said: "It's just given to me by the officials, I didn't steal it."
Xu Zhiqian gave him a white look: "Of course I know that, but what memorial is this?"
"It's the memorial to impeach me. I selected a few representative ones." Zhang Fei said.
Xu Zhiqian's eyes lit up, "I understand. You intend to study their memorials first, and then refute them. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles."
"Promise me, I will pay less attention to the art of war in the future."
Zhang Fei said: "I intend to publish all their views in newspapers."
"Huh?"
Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei in shock, "Why is this?"
Zhang Fei hehe said: "I've thought about it carefully, such a thing should be said openly, concealing it will make people suspicious. I, Zhang Dongpo, am open and aboveboard, and I am not afraid of people's words."
Xu Zhiqian sounds reasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem right, "But you also said before that your legal system does conflict with Gangchang ethics. They are not wronging you. This is all true!"
Zhang Fei didn't take it seriously and said: "If you think about this kind of thing, there is no perfection. No matter what I say, they can find reasons to object. It is said that if you say too much, you will lose it. It is better to say it openly. Right and wrong are judged by others."
Xu Zhiqian frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "In this case, why not publish your views in newspapers, wouldn't it be better."
Zhang Fei said hi: "If you do this, it will be in their favor. As long as I publish a rebuttal in the newspaper, everyone will join in, but think about it, who will support it?" We, men can't object to the husband being the guide to the wife. The only way is not to argue with them, what they say, we will be right and right, and we will be done."
"But.."
"Nothing but."
Zhang Fei interrupted her, "This is a good strategy I discussed with the officials, and there will be no mistakes."
After hearing this, Xu Zhiqian felt the same way, the emperor supported her, what else did she say, and then asked: "Then what should we do?"
Zhang Fei said: "Look at their memorials first, and then write their opinions into articles, but you can't copy them. In that case, everyone will know that we have read their memorials. This is against the system."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Shall I write it?"
Zhang Fei said: "Of course you write it. I can't write this kind of article. But don't worry, no one will pay attention to your writing when this article is sent out."
Xu Zhiqian said worriedly: "I don't have the time to care about these things at this time, it's just that you are sure there is really no problem doing this."
"Relax. No problem."
"Okay."
Xu Zhiqian sat down.
"I'll grind the ink for you."
Zhang Fei brought the inkstone, and said: "Remember, you have to write from the perspective of the other party, and there should be no rebuttal in it."
Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but looked at Zhang Fei with a weird expression again, and opened her mouth slightly, but she held back in the end, after all, Zhang Fei had played similar routines before, and often scolded herself.
But this is not the same, because it will involve Gangchang, and Gangchang is closely related to the imperial power.
Xu Zhiqian always felt that it was too risky to do so, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire, but the emperor supported her, so she couldn't say much.
Those memorials are just articles, Xu Zhiqian only needs to write them out with some sentences based on those memorials, which is not very difficult.
However, Xu Zhiqian's writing was terrified, because the above point of view is really not nonsense, but sharp to the point.
They cited many examples from monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, brothers, teachers and students, to prove that no matter whether the concept of the rule of law is good or bad, as long as there is this concept of defending the legitimate rights and interests of individuals, it will inevitably destroy the principles of ethics.
"Zhang San, don't you think what they said makes sense?" Xu Zhiqian suddenly looked at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "It must be reasonable, those admonishing officials and censors are all full of knowledge, how could they talk nonsense."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Then how do you plan to refute?"
"Didn't you say it?"
Zhang Fei said: "You are right, right, right."
".?"
After finishing writing, Zhang Fei hurried to the genuine bookstore with these articles.
Hou Dong took a look at the article and said excitedly: "Yes, I'll send someone to typeset and print it immediately."
"Wait!"
Zhang Fei called Hou Donglai to stop, "Old Hou, when did you become so careless, and you went to typesetting and printing without seeing clearly."
Hou Donglai was stunned for a moment, and said: "I see it clearly!"
Zhang Fei wondered: "You see clearly, you don't ask me a question?"
Hou Donglai also wondered: "What are you asking?"
Zhang Fei asked curiously: "You don't know about the law of the rule of law?"
"I know!"
"I know you don't ask, but all of this is to refute my views on the law of the rule of law."
"It turns out that Sanlang said this."
Hou Donglai said with a chuckle: "Sanlang don't want to test me again. After so many times, no matter how stupid I am, I understand what's going on. We run newspapers and periodicals to sell money, only if we can attract readers. , It doesn’t matter if you scold anyone, let alone just refute Saburo’s point of view, you don’t scold anyone, we only want money, this is very normal.”
Whether it's news newspapers or celebrities, whoever scolds the most is Zhang Fei.
How can this kind of routine scare Lao Hou.
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "It seems that you have made a lot of progress, much better than my Zhiqian."
"Where! Where! This is all taught by Saburo."
"Alright then, go get busy."
"Hey!"
After Hou Dong went out, Zhang Fei couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "It seems that I'm really not suitable to be a teacher. These students have all gone to the ditch. After this incident, I have to tell him not to Everything is scared."
Big sale!
After this issue of news came out, it was looted immediately. As soon as the newspaper appeared in the restaurant, it was immediately taken away. As a result, the major restaurants directly sent people to squat in genuine bookstores. How much do you pay? How much to buy.
The craftsmen in the genuine bookstore are also working overtime.
"Master, this is the news that just came out."
Lu Huiqing quickly walked into the house and handed a newspaper to Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi took a look, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock, "Where is this news?"
Lu Huiqing immediately said: "I didn't quite believe it before, and I sent someone to inquire about it, and it was genuine bookstore."
Wang Anshi looked at Lu Huiqing blankly, "Is he crazy?"
If it is said that those scholar-bureaucrats made it, that's all. Zhang Fei published the other party's point of view by himself, which Wang Anshi really couldn't understand.
Lu Huiqing said: "I reckon that Zhang San wants to repeat the same old tricks, first publish the views of Yushi and others, and then publish them in newspapers and magazines to refute them. But this can't be done like this. Can it be messed up? Even if he has reasons to refute in the future, no one will support him."
Wang Anshi frowned, nodded and said: "Yes! Although what he said in class is reasonable, there are some things that just don't make sense."
He is quite crazy, and he also raised objections to Confucianism, but all his arguments are to firmly grasp the imperial power.
Although he disdains his ancestors, changes in the sky, and people's words, his core appeal is to assert the imperial power.
Try to make him disdain imperial power.
In feudal society, as long as you grasp this point, you will never be punished by speech.
Of course the emperor likes it.
Therefore, those who criticize Wang Anshi often say it from the perspective of benevolent government, and from the perspective of the people. It was only after Wang Anshi took over the power that everyone began to provoke the relationship between him and the emperor.
However, Zhang Fei's argument is just the opposite. Although he does not disdain ancestors or changes in the sky, his point of view is not to assert imperial power. He emphasizes personal interests and checks and balances, including imperial power.
This is the biggest difference between the two.
Sima Guang, who has been studying history for a long time, is deeply aware of the stakes. When he saw this newspaper, he couldn't sit still and killed the Zhang family directly.
"What are you doing?"
The newspaper in his hand almost hit Zhang Fei's face, it can be seen that Sima Guang is really anxious this time.
Zhang Fei took a step back, and said righteously: "Scholar Sima, you should know who I am. Although I, Zhang San, am just a commoner, I have always acted aboveboard!"
Sima Guang interrupted him mercilessly, "You have used those little tricks less."
".cough cough!"
Zhang Fei's expression changed, and he said awkwardly: "Scholar Sima, listen to my explanation first. This is what I think about it. The more open and aboveboard I am, the less people will doubt my intentions. The more I cover up If you don't cover it up, it will make people suspect that I am plotting something wrong."
Sima Guang really said earnestly: "Who asked you to cover it up, you can go to the court to explain it, or you can take a class to explain this problem, no matter what is more appropriate than you doing this, you are not adding fuel to the fire Is it? This will only lead to more people impeaching you."
Zhang Fei said embarrassingly: "But no matter how I explain this matter, it is still ineffective. They will definitely have a rebuttal point of view."
Sima Guang was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Fei said: "If Scholar Sima asks me if someone will do something that violates the principles of the law because of the concept of the legal system, even if I don't mean it, I can't guarantee it. Because the concept of the legal system is Emphasize personal legitimate rights and interests. Take a step back and say, even if I promise, they will not believe it."
Sima Guang blinked, and asked blankly: "Do you want to challenge Gangchang ethics?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I don't have this idea, but I think the law should not include the whole of the general ethics, but it should be differentiated."
"You are so confused!"
Sima Guang stomped his feet anxiously, "The three cardinal guides and five constant rules must be above the law. This is the foundation of the monarch's rule. It is unquestionable. Don't you even understand such a superficial truth?"
"Me."
"You don't need to say anything, hurry up and write two pleadings, one for yourself and one for the old man, if you have the opportunity."
Speaking, Sima Guang walked away.
He originally thought that Zhang Fei wanted to repeat the old tricks, which was a technical mistake, but he never thought that Zhang Fei really had this idea.
Is this moving?
Zhang Fei felt aggrieved and said, "No matter what, I'm just talking about it. Is this also a crime?"
"Third brother!"
Li Si ran over panting, and handed a piece of wood to Zhang Fei, "Third brother, do you think this is okay?"
Zhang Fei took a look and saw a small bird engraved on the wooden block. He nodded and said, "Very good. But you have to tell those people to hurry up and prepare a few more. I don't have much time." Already."
"Hey! I know."
Li Sizhi nodded.
Zhang Fei took a look at the wooden block and said with a smile: "What are the principles of ethics, this is the quintessence of the country."
It is to throw the wooden block to Li Si.
