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, of course he knew what he might face. Although this process caught him a little off guard, he was not completely unprepared.
"What's this?"
Xu Zhiqian watched Zhang Fei returning home with a baggage in his hands, and couldn't help asking curiously.
Zhang Fei glanced around and whispered: "We'll talk in the room."
"oh."
Xu Zhiqian nodded and immediately entered the house with Zhang Fei.
Snap, snap, snap.
As soon as Zhang Fei opened the baggage, he saw more than a dozen memorials falling from it.
Xu Zhiqian exclaimed: "This is..."
"Memorial."
Zhang Fei said hey: "It was just given to me by the officials, not stolen by me."
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes at him: "Of course I know this, but what kind of memorial is this?"
"It's the memorial to impeach me. I chose a few representative ones." Zhang Fei said.
Xu Zhiqian's eyes lit up, "I understand, you plan to study their memorials first, and then refute them. As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles."
"Promise me that you will read less about the art of war in the future."
Zhang Fei said: "I plan to publish all their views in newspapers."
"ah?"
Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei in shock, "Why is this?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "I have thought about it carefully. If something like this happens, it should be said openly. Being secretive will only make people suspicious. I, Zhang Dongpo, am aboveboard and aboveboard, and I am not afraid of what others say."
It seemed reasonable to Xu Zhiqian, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed wrong, "But you also said before that your legal system does conflict with the general ethics. They are not wronging you. This is all
It’s a fact!”
Zhang Fei didn't take it seriously and said: "There is no such thing as perfection in thinking. No matter what I say, they can find reasons to object. It is said that talking too much will lead to mistakes, so it is better to say it openly. This is right and wrong.
Someone else will be the one to cut it off."
Xu Zhiqian frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "In that case, why not publish your views in newspapers, wouldn't it be better?"
Zhang Fei cheered: "If you do this, it will play into their hands. As long as I publish my refutation in newspapers and magazines, everyone will join in. But think about it, who will support us, man?"
It is impossible for us to object to a husband being a wife. The only way is not to fight with them. Whatever they say, we will be right, right, right, right, and that will be it."
"But.."
"Nothing but."
Zhang Fei interrupted her, "This is a clever plan that I discussed with the officials. It can't be wrong."
After hearing this, Xu Zhiqian felt that it was true. The emperor supported it. What else could she say? Then she asked: "Then what should we do?"
Zhang Fei said: "First read their memorials, and then write their opinions into articles, but you cannot copy them. In that case, everyone will know that we have read their memorials, which 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 style once this article is published."
Xu Zhiqian said worriedly: "I don't have time to care about this at this time, but are you sure there is nothing wrong with doing this?"
"Don't worry. There is no problem."
"All right."
Xu Zhiqian sat down.
"I'll help you sharpen your ink."
Zhang Fei brought the inkstone and said again: "Remember, you have to write from the other party's perspective, and there must be no refutation in it."
Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but glance at Zhang Fei with a strange look on her face, and opened her mouth slightly, but in the end she held it back. After all, Zhang Fei had played similar tricks before and often scolded himself.
But this matter is different, because it will involve Gang Chang, and Gang Chang is closely linked to the imperial power.
Xu Zhiqian always felt that doing this was too risky, and wouldn't it add fuel to the fire? But the emperor supported it, so she couldn't say much.
Those memorials are articles. Xu Zhiqian only needs to write some sentences based on those memorials, which is not difficult.
But Xu Zhiqian wrote with trepidation, because the views above are really not nonsense, but hit the nail on the head.
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 legal system 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 general 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 make sense. 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 I say that?"
Zhang Fei said: "You are right, right, right, right."
".?"
After finishing writing, Zhang Fei took these articles and hurried to the genuine bookstore.
Hou Dong took a look at the article and said excitedly: "Yes, I will have someone typeset and print it right away."
"Wait a minute!"
Zhang Fei stopped Hou Donglai and said, "Old Hou, when did you become so careless and start typesetting and printing without seeing clearly?"
Hou Donglai was stunned for a moment and said: "I can see it clearly!"
Zhang Fei wondered: "You saw it clearly, and you didn't even ask me a question?"
Hou Donglai also wondered: "What are you asking?"
Zhang Fei asked curiously: "Don't you know about the legal system?"
"I know!"
"I know that even if you don't ask, these are all opinions that refute my rule of law."
"It turns out that this is what Saburo said."
Hou Donglai chuckled and said: "Sanlang, please don't test me again. After so many times, no matter how stupid I am, I still understand what is going on. We who make newspapers and periodicals only want to sell money. Only if we can attract readers, who can we blame?"
It doesn’t matter, what’s more, it’s just to refute your point of view, Saburo, and I’m not cursing anyone. We’re just after money, so this is normal.”
Regardless of whether it was a newspaper or a celebrity, whoever scolded him the most was Zhang Fei.
How could this kind of routine scare Lao Hou?
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "It seems that you have really made a lot of progress and are much better than my Zhi Qian."
"Where! Where! This is all what you taught me, Saburo."
"Okay, go and get busy."
"Why!"
After Hou Dong went out, Zhang Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "It seems that I am really not suitable to be a teacher. Each of these students has learned in a ditch. After this incident, I have to remind him not to be scared by anything."
print."
big sale!
After this issue of the news came out, it was immediately robbed. As soon as the newspaper appeared in the restaurant, it was immediately taken away. As a result, major restaurants directly sent people to squat in the genuine bookstores, and we bought what you paid.
The craftsmen at the genuine bookstore also work overtime.
"Teacher, this is the news report that just came out."
Lu Huiqing quickly walked into the house and handed a newspaper to Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi took it and looked at it, he was shocked, "What is this news report?"
Lu Huiqing immediately said: "I didn't believe it before. I even sent someone to inquire about it. It was from a genuine bookstore."
Wang Anshi looked at Lu Huiqing blankly, "Is he crazy?"
If you say it was the scholar-bureaucrats who did it, then that's it. Zhang Fei published the other party's views on his own. Wang Anshi really couldn't understand this.
Lu Huiqing said: "I guess Zhang San wants to repeat the same trick again. First publish the opinions of the censor and others, and then publish them in newspapers and periodicals to refute them. But this can't be done like this. How can the ethics of ethics be messed up?
?Even if he has reason to refute it in the future, no one will support him."
Wang Anshi frowned and nodded: "Yes! Although what he said in class was reasonable, there are some things that are just unreasonable."
He was quite crazy, and he also raised objections to Confucianism, but all his arguments were based on imperial power.
Although he disdains his ancestors, changes in nature, and people's words, his core demand is to assert imperial power.
Try asking him to 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 do so 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 sow discord between him and the emperor.
Zhang Fei's argument is exactly the opposite. Although he does not disdain his ancestors or change, his point of view is not to assert imperial power. He emphasizes personal interests and checks and balances, which also includes imperial power.
This is the biggest difference between the two.
Sima Guang, who had been studying history, was well aware of the stakes involved. As soon as he saw this newspaper, he couldn't sit still and went straight to the Zhang family.
"What are you doing?"
The newspaper in his hand almost hit Zhang Fei's face, which showed that Sima Guang was really anxious this time.
Zhang Fei took a step back and said righteously: "Sister Sima, you should know who I am as a person. Although I, Zhang San, am just a commoner, I have always acted with integrity!"
Sima Guang interrupted him mercilessly, "You still don't use those little tricks enough."
".Ahem!"
Zhang Fei's expression changed and he said sarcastically: "Sister Sima, please listen to my explanation first. This is how I think about it. The more upright I am, the less people will doubt my intentions. The more secretive I am, the more likely I will be.
It will cause people to suspect that I am up to no good."
Sima Guang really said sincerely: "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 issue. No matter what, it is more appropriate than what you do. Aren't you adding fuel to the fire? This
It will only attract more people to impeach you."
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "But no matter how I explain this matter, it's still futile. They will definitely have some refutation."
Sima Guang was startled, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Fei said: "If Master Sima asks me if someone will do something that violates the ethics of the rule of law because of the concept of the rule of law, even if I don't mean it, I can't guarantee it. Because the concept of the rule of law emphasizes personal justice.
Rights. Taking a step back, even if I guarantee it, they won’t believe it.”
Sima Guang blinked and asked blankly: "Do you want to challenge Gang Chang's ethics?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I don't have this idea, but I think the law should not include the entire ethical code, there should still be some distinctions."
"You are confused, kid!"
Sima Guang stamped his foot anxiously, "The Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Rules must be based on the law. This is the foundation of monarchy and there is no doubt about it. Don't you even understand such a superficial truth?"
"I."
"You don't need to say anything. Hurry up and write two pleadings, one to defend yourself and one to defend me, if you get the chance."
With that said, Sima Guang walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
He originally thought that Zhang Fei wanted to repeat his old tricks and it was a technical error, but he never thought that Zhang Fei really had this idea.
Is this movable?
Zhang Fei said aggrievedly: "No matter what, I'm just talking. Is this also a crime?"
"Third brother!"
Li Si ran over panting and handed a wooden block to Zhang Fei, "Third brother, do you think this is okay?"
Zhang Fei took it and took a look and saw a little bird carved on the wooden block. He nodded and said: "It's very good. But you have to tell those people to hurry up and prepare a few more pairs. I don't have much time."
"Hey! I know."
Li Si nodded.
Zhang Fei took a look at the wooden block and said with a smile: "What are the ethics? This is the quintessence of the country."
