Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 386: A daughter is easy to find, but a confidant is hard to find

Fu Bi looked at Zhang Fei and Wang Anshi's cooperation, but smiled and said nothing.

In fact, he has long seen this point. Opposing Wang Anshi and opposing the rule of law are inherently contradictory.

There is a saying, don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself.

In fact, he also wants to use this to persuade everyone to support the law of the rule of law.

It's a pity that the other party didn't give him this chance, and Zhang Fei's cooperation with Wang Anshi in the end pointed to this point.

If you oppose the law of the rule of law and the New Deal at the same time, the meaning is very obvious. You can't compete with me for profit, but at the same time you can't prevent me from competing for profit with the people.

If this topic is broken, it is of course very embarrassing and meaningless.

So of course they didn't dare to raise any doubts, at least in the public, this topic should not be discussed anymore.

Zhang Fei's heart is like a mirror, knowing that there is nothing to say, so he chooses to dismiss the get out of class.

He went straight to the emperor and the empress dowager, and saluted, "The fallacy of the minister made the empress dowager and the officials laugh."

"How dare! How dare!"

The Empress Dowager Cao smiled kindly, and said curiously again: "I really didn't expect you to be able to explain the way of the country and the world at such an age. I am really curious. Who taught you this?"

She was also fascinated by what she heard just now, and she also understands why some people think that the law of the rule of law belongs to the founding school.

"Uh...."

Zhang Fei seemed a little hesitant.

Empress Dowager Cao asked: "Can't you say it?"

"Madam, the situation is like this."

Zhao Xu immediately informed the Empress Dowager Cao that Zhang Fei was forced to attend class and was opposed by the students.

Empress Dowager Cao listened, how could she believe it, even so, the two have nothing to do with each other, said: "If you are forced to become a prime minister, then you must not be forced to become Xiao He or Fang Xuanling."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "The empress dowager is serious. The reason why I understand this is because it is talking about the law, which is what I am good at."

The Empress Dowager Cao said to herself: "There are countless people who are good at the law. From the perspective of the old man, there are not many people who can explain it thoroughly."

Zhao Xu hurriedly said: "Yes! Just tell me how you came up with these principles?"

The surrounding ministers also looked at Zhang Fei curiously.

How did you come up with it? this......! Zhang Fei couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment, he couldn't say that the university teacher could teach it well.

Jiang Zhiqi said abruptly: "There must be someone who is behind the scenes to give advice."

When he said this, Zhang Fei suddenly had an idea, and nodded with a smile: "Jiang Yushi is right, there are indeed some experts behind the scenes to give advice."

Empress Dowager Cao asked: "I don't know who is an expert, but your father-in-law Xu is in charge?"

Xu Zun immediately shuddered, don't let me come out as a shield, you boy, I can't help you with this!

He didn't understand it himself.

"No."

Zhang Fei shook his head, "Actually... it's actually Confucius and Mencius."

Empress Dowager Cao was slightly startled, "Confucius and Mencius?"

"Exactly."

Zhang Fei said: "It can also be said that it is the way of Confucius and Mencius and the virtues of Confucianism. Many of my theories refer to these ways of Confucius and Mencius and the virtues of Confucianism."

Empress Dowager Cao hurriedly asked: "How do you say this?"

Zhang Fei said: "Does the Empress Dowager know the story of Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng?"

Empress Dowager Cao nodded, "This old man naturally knows."

Zhang Fei said: "At the beginning, Wei Zheng grabbed Tang Taizong's sleeve and sprayed Tang Taizong's saliva. As far as etiquette is concerned, this was definitely a crime of disrespect, but in the end Tang Taizong did not kill Wei Zheng. It has made a good story."

Empress Dowager Cao asked: "What does this have to do with your theory?"

Zhang Fei said: "Because from the point of view of morality, punishment and punishment, there is a contradiction between this. Wei Zheng's actions must be a capital offense, but Tang Taizong's tolerance turned a criminal incident into a good story.

This makes people very puzzled. If we want to continue this good story, it is tantamount to continuing this kind of criminal behavior. right. "

Empress Dowager Cao nodded, and asked again: "Then what should I do?"

Zhang Fei said with a sneer: "If morality governs the law, we can continue this good story. First of all, under the virtue of virtue, Wei Zheng's behavior must also be criminalized, because he is seriously injured. The interest of the monarch is concerned, but Confucian morality must be taken into account when judging and punishing. Wei Zheng is the monarch and the country, not for his own self-interest. Based on this, Wei Zheng can be acquitted.

In this way, the first thing is to establish Tianwei, and to violate Tianwei is a crime, which is irrefutable. But at the same time, it can prevent ministers from daring to speak out because they are afraid of the power of heaven, and prevent the monarch from accidentally killing Zhongliang because of temporary anger, so that he regrets the original.

If Tang Taizong killed Wei Zheng at that time, it would not only be a loss for Tang Taizong, but also a loss for the entire country. In Confucianism, in the good stories about marriage that have been circulated, it is also emphasized that husband and wife respect each other as guests. "

Empress Dowager Cao was still in deep thought, and many ministers around kept nodding.

Well said!

In fact, in the past, when the emperor wanted to kill the ministers, they always persuaded them in the same way, but they often refuted with etiquette.

If you offend Tianyan, you must kill him!

The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules.

For Confucianism itself, it is also a very contradictory thing.

On the one hand, ministers are encouraged to speak out, but on the other hand, etiquette is strict.

But etiquette is the law, which is very troublesome.

Now that Zhang Fei explained it this way, they couldn't help but their eyes lit up. If the etiquette and law were separated, one would be guilty and the other would be guilty, this would be an easy explanation.

But Empress Dowager Cao did not express her position immediately.

Zhang Fei immediately said: "In my view, although I did not stipulate this in the law, the officials have set a good example."

Speaking of this, he sighed deeply: "Our courtiers are very disappointing."

The ministers who were still nodding just now looked at Zhang Fei suddenly.

What do you mean kid?

What is our courtier, you are just a ninth rank, similar to an official, don't mix with us.

Zhao Xu was slightly taken aback, and quickly stopped Zhang Fei with his eyes. If you are flattering, don't take pictures. If you don't take pictures well, it will become a joke. The mouths of these ministers are also very poisonous.

The Empress Dowager Cao was naturally very happy when she heard someone praise her grandson, and asked, "Where did you start with that?"

Zhang Fei said: "As far as the new policy is concerned, first of all, Xueshi Wang's ideas did not violate ethics and morals, nor did he violate the law. Of course, Bachelor Sima's views are not wrong.

But none of them can prove that they are the truth, so as an official, they can only choose one of the two. There are hundreds of Chinese and military officials in this dynasty, each minister has one idea, and the officials have to make decisions and choose one of them.

However, the officials did not say to adopt the suggestion of Xueshi Wang, so they killed Bachelor Sima, or discarded it, or entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, because Bachelor Sima proposed this idea for the sake of the monarch of the country, and there is no fault at all Word.

But some ministers think that if the officials don't listen to me, I will quit, I will slack off, I will quarrel with the officials every day, and what's more, I will directly obstruct them.

Let's talk about Wei Zheng and Tang Taizong again. In fact, many of Wei Zheng's policy suggestions were not adopted by Tang Taizong, but Wei Zheng still devoted himself to the Great Tang until his death. "

Zhao Xu's eyes were red when he heard it.

My confidant!

This must be a bosom friend!

I really understand my suffering.

Empress Dowager Cao also nodded and smiled: "Well said! This is the way of monarchs and ministers, as it should be!"

An old master immediately stood up: "Can you guarantee that the New Deal will be successful?"

You are speaking for Wang Anshi!

"I can't."

Zhang Fei shook his head: "If the old man can prove the suggestion of Bachelor Sima, will he be successful?"

The old master hesitated for a moment, stroked his beard and said: "The old man did not support Sima Junshi's theory."

Zhang Fei smiled slightly and said: "This old gentleman's remarks are actually the most terrifying."

The old master frowned and asked, "Why?"

Zhang Fei said: "Because this is the words of a child's fighting spirit, a truly capable minister should come up with a more perfect plan. If he can't come up with it, he always tells the officials, you don't listen to me, It will definitely fail. This kind of remarks is actually very meaningless, and at the same time it will have a very bad effect.

Because this will inevitably lead to the officials, and in the end they have to do it to the end at all costs. Even if they later realize that there may be mistakes, it is impossible to turn around, because you all talk about that, but this is not the case. ? "

Empress Dowager Cao nodded again and again, "It makes sense, it makes sense!"

Not only Wang Anshi, but even Fu Bi, Sima Guang and others were lost in thought.

As for?

Zhao Xu's heart can only be touched, every word of his confidant is as sweet and delicious as honey. It's not just looking at Zhang Fei obsessively.

The old master's face was blue and white for a while, and he was speechless.

He really can't come up with a perfect solution.

Zhang Fei continued: "Taking father and son as an example, it is obviously wrong for the father to rebel or steal. As a son, he must try his best to stop it. It is unfilial if he does not stop it.

But my father was only choosing between farming and commerce, and finally chose commerce, thinking that peddling can make more money, you can object, but if your father decides in the end, you still object every day and cause trouble, then what is your purpose? It's not for this family, but to prove that you are right and your father is wrong. It's purely emotional, and it may end up hurting both sides. This person is not a sage, no fault, making mistakes, this is also a common thing. "

Wen Yanbo said: "Although this is the case, the decision-making of this country is related to the people of the world, and a mistake may also lead to the ruin of the country!"

"Wen Gong said it well."

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, and said: "Governing the country is not about gambling, not about choosing between big and small. It is to ensure that the emperor's decision-making mistakes will not lead to the ruin of the country.

Because the idea of ​​the law of the rule of law is to protect, keep the monarch, protect the country, and protect the people. When these three are protected, then at least the country will not perish because of a policy mistake. But if successful, the country will take off. "

Empress Cao nodded slightly, thinking, this is a good way.

Zhao Xu was going to toss, and she was a little flustered. His husband's Qingli reform made a mess.

Wen Yanbo continued to ask: "What if national decision-making meets the rule of law?"

Zhang Fei pointed to the wooden board in front, "As I mentioned before, the husband guides the wife. It is inevitable to overflow, but the master of virtue will not intervene, and the master of virtue will be the assistant of law. It can push back the overflowing part and continue to maintain balance, but it will not build a wall to completely stop the overflowing, which is against the convention."

Fu Bi nodded with a smile.

He appreciates this explanation very much.

The Empress Dowager Cao laughed and said, "It seems that you are not lying, you have to force you to tell me!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The queen mother forgives the sin."

"You've said it very well. I'm not worth the trip, so what's the crime?" Empress Dowager Cao nodded with a smile, and suddenly said to Zhao Xu: "Official, I'm a little tired."

Zhao Xu was slightly taken aback, and said: "Grandson sent the eldest lady back to rest."
