This general ethics can be said to be the order of this ancient society, and order must be the foundation of a country.
Without the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, the emperor would no longer be an emperor.
Therefore, when the other party raises questions in this regard, Zhang Fei must respond. If he does not respond, he is not burying the seeds, but burying himself.
But Zhang Fei would not agree to argue with them, because the trial would be very unfair and dangerous for Zhang Fei.
If there is a trial, Zhang Fei will have to argue that he is not guilty, which will put him in a very disadvantageous position.
Thought is not science and requires rigor. Wrong is wrong and right is right.
No need to think about it, he must lose.
But then again, if you want to convict Zhang Fei, you should go to court. Of course, Zhang Fei is very willing. If you go to court, it is impossible to lose, because the purpose of going to court is to prove Zhang Fei's guilt.
By the same token, this is also difficult to prove.
Therefore, it is impossible for the other party to agree.
Zhang Fei also knew that it was impossible to make them all agree with the rule of law with his tight tongue.
The best way is to return it to a dispute of knowledge.
Even if you don't agree with me when I give my own explanation, it doesn't mean I'm guilty.
On the second day, Zhang Fei sent someone to inform the Imperial College that the next class was scheduled for three days later.
He originally wanted to wait for Sima Guang to come and discuss it, but he didn't know that Sima Guang didn't come this time.
In fact, Sima Guang was very entangled in this matter. Although Sima Guang also felt that what Zhang Fei said was reasonable, he advocated etiquette more and was a traditional Confucian scholar. This has been reflected in the Ayun case.
Very obvious.
The reason why he emphasized the heavy sentencing of Ayun was because he believed that although Ayun and Weiada could not be considered husband and wife legally, Ayun had the intention of murdering her husband, so a heavy sentence must be given.
Originally he believed that etiquette and law are integrated, and judicial reform does not conflict with them. But now there is a conflict between etiquette and legality. This is also related to his principles. If Zhang Fei's explanation is not good, he will stand up.
If he is against it, he hopes to keep a certain distance from Zhang Fei on this matter.
Morning time.
"I thought I wouldn't have to wear these damn official robes this year, but I never thought... Sigh..."
Zhang Fei opened his hands and let Gao Wenyin toss him, sighing.
Gao Wenyin gave him a resentful look, "Sanlang, ordinary farmers understand the principle that disaster comes from the mouth, and what happened this time isn't enough of a lesson."
In the past, she never dared to blame Zhang Fei, but what happened this time really scared her. Today, Zhang Fei has to go to class again, and she feels uneasy!
Zhang Fei smiled nonchalantly and said: "If everyone can speak well, then why should I make money? Isn't my only ability to say things that others don't say?"
Gao Wenyin whispered softly: "That said, but... it is right to be cautious in your words and deeds."
Zhang Fei saw the worried look on her face, so he stopped defending, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely remember what Madam said."
Only then did a smile appear on Gao Wenyin's face, "I hope you can remember it."
He patted his shoulder gently again and smoothed out those slender folds, "Okay!"
Zhang Fei put down his hands and directly hugged Gao Wenyin's weak and boneless waist, "During the few days I was there, what I worried most about was that my wife would have random thoughts at home."
Gao Wenyin glanced at him shyly, and asked without answering: "If I said I wouldn't have random thoughts, wouldn't Saburo be worried?"
Zhang Fei was startled and said: "I guess not."
Gao Wenyin smiled lightly: "That's right. This worry is inevitable. Even Saburo can't avoid it, let alone me."
Zhang Fei was a little surprised, "Oh! Madam's eloquence has improved a lot compared to before."
Gao Wenyin said shyly: "The one who is close to vermillion is red, and the one who is close to ink is black."
Zhang Fei hummed: "I knew Xiao Tao would lead you astray, so don't communicate with Xiao Tao on weekdays."
"I won't do Xiaotao's business." Gao Wenyin rolled her eyes at him and said in a sincere tone: "Although worry is inevitable, I will also take good care of myself and the family. Sanlang should be careful about himself outside."
"So is Madam."
After saying that, Zhang Fei quickly kissed her lips.
"Ah! Saburo, you..."
Looking up, Zhang Fei was already out the door.
"Madam, I'm leaving now. I'll have to let Zhi Qian talk about it later."
However, what Zhang Fei didn't expect was that instead of nagging him this time, Xu Zhiqian became more silent, sitting in the carriage without saying a word.
This made Zhang Fei feel a little worried.
"Zhiqian, why don't you speak? Do you feel too stressed?"
"No!"
Xu Zhiqian shook her head and glanced at Zhang Fei, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
Zhang Fei gently held her hand and asked, "What is going on?"
Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips: "I have always felt that this was because they went too far in bullying others. Gang Chang's ethics are all about truth. They hold the truth but do unreasonable things. It's really shameless."
Zhang Fei asked: "What then?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "So I really hope in my heart that you can ridicule them severely later, but I understand that doing so is very dangerous, so I don't want to speak."
Zhang Fei laughed when he heard this.
Xu Zhiqian said: "Why are you laughing?"
Zhang Fei said: "You have known me for so long, but you still don't know me. Although I live by my words, I never think that ridiculing others can gain a sense of revenge. I generally like to destroy their glory and wealth, so that I can feel pleasure.
"
Xu Zhiqian asked anxiously: "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Fei said: "It's not today. Today I can get a serious lecture on the Eight Classics, but sooner or later I will take revenge. I am not good at endorsement, but I am definitely a master among masters in holding a grudge."
When Zhang Fei first left, the Imperial College was already overcrowded. Leaving aside the students, there were more than a hundred ministers and scholar-bureaucrats.
This is still a limited situation in the local area. Otherwise, it may break the record of watching Zhang Fei's lawsuit.
Although the case ultimately came down to an academic dispute, even then, those people still maintained an attitude of opposing the rule of law.
After Zhang Fei confirmed the time for the next class, Zeng Gongliang personally came forward to arrange who would come to attend the class. He had to find some representative people. For example, Jiang Zhiqi and Peng Siyan were also invited.
If you find a group of licking dogs, there's no point.
But they never expected that even Queen Mother Cao would come.
"I see you, the Empress Dowager, and your Majesty."
All the ministers came quickly to salute.
Empress Dowager Cao said calmly: "You don't need to be polite."
After the ceremony, Jiang Zhiqi asked: "Why is the Queen Mother here too?"
Empress Dowager Cao said: "This matter almost caused a commotion in the political hall, and I have made you confused, so I came here today to have a look. What is going on?"
Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi and others quickly came forward to plead guilty.
They have also experienced Queen Mother Cao's methods.
Empress Dowager Cao glanced at them sideways, "You are lucky to have met the famous master. Otherwise, I'm afraid you would have really gotten in. There are many talents in this court!"
"I am guilty."
Several people said in unison.
In the view of Empress Dowager Cao, Zhao Xu was quite wronged by this matter. The gods are also you, the ghosts are also you, and you must vent your anger.
"okay!"
Queen Mother Cao waved her hands and looked around again, "When will this class start?"
Chen Yuansheng, who was offering wine at the Imperial Academy, said: "If I go back to the Queen Mother, Zhang San has not come yet."
"Not here yet?"
Empress Dowager Cao frowned slightly, "It's true that a minister is not like a minister, and a teacher is not like a teacher."
As she said that, she patted Zhao Xu's hand that was supporting her, "It's really hard for the emperor."
Zhao Xu hurriedly said: "Madam, my grandson will help you go in and sit down first, so you don't get cold."
After that, he whispered to the attendant beside him: "Why don't you hurry up and urge me."
Even if I wait for you, you still want my eldest lady to wait for you.
"yes."
Today's class was not arranged in the largest classroom, but in the lobby in the middle. This lobby is usually used for teacher-student meetings.
"Emperor, what is this for?"
Queen Mother Cao sat inside and asked, pointing to the big wooden board on the side.
The classroom is getting bigger and the wooden boards are getting bigger.
Zhao Xu said: "This is what Zhang San usually uses in class. He usually writes some keywords on it with charcoal to understand it with the students."
"This boy is not very young, but he is quite famous!"
Empress Dowager Cao nodded and said: "Then it's inconvenient for us to sit here and watch?"
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor must be sitting at the top. This wooden board is also placed on top. At most, you can only see it from the side.
Zhao Xu was also aware of this problem. He had always stood at the back to listen to lectures before, so he quickly arranged for someone to find another seat, making sure it had the best viewing angle and not being blown by the wind.
After finishing their work here, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian hurried over there.
"Wait a minute!"
Chen Yuansheng, who had been waiting at the door, rushed inside and stopped him immediately, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Fei gasped: "I heard that the Queen Mother is here...!"
Chen Yuansheng hummed: "Then wouldn't you come earlier?"
Zhang Fei exclaimed: "Chen Jijiu, you don't know how much pressure this official is under, and he was still reading books just a moment ago!"
"okay!"
Chen Yuansheng waved his hand and said, "Stop pretending to be pitiful in front of me. I won't sympathize with you. You deserve this."
Don’t you have sympathy? You should have told me earlier! Zhang Fei’s expression changed and he asked: “Then why are you stopping me?”
Chen Yuansheng laughed, but when he thought about how this guy had offended so many people, he was probably a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water. "You think I want to wait for you here, but I can't help it. You can take those students in with you later."
, Salute to the Empress Dowager and the officials."
"oh."
"oh?"
"Yes, I understand."
"go quickly."
Chen Yuansheng immediately called someone to lead Zhang Fei over, and at the same time stopped Xu Zhiqian, "The Queen Mother is here, so don't go in."
Zhang Fei immediately turned around and said, "Chen Jijiu!"
Chen Yuansheng immediately said: "Someone will help you make tea."
Zhang Fei said: "I'm not used to it."
The Queen Mother is waiting inside. I have already been put on the fire rack anyway. Do you want to come with me?
"you."
Chen Yuansheng really didn't dare to delay, "I allow her to watch from the side door, so that's alright."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Go quickly and don't worry about me."
Zhang Fei glanced at Xu Zhiqian before giving up.
Cai Jing, Cai Bian and other fifteen students were already waiting in front of the door, and they were all trembling.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Fei thought to himself that he was lucky to have arrived late, otherwise he would have died of cold just standing here.
The teachers and students just looked at each other awkwardly and without communicating, Zhang Fei led them in.
A group of people lined up in front of Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Xu and bowed respectfully.
Queen Mother Cao looked at Zhang Fei and suddenly asked: "Where did you get the bruise on your mouth?"
Fu Shichun showed no mercy. It had only been three days, how could he recover?
On the side, Jiang Zhiqi and others only regretted that the Imperial City Division was too gentle. It only took three days to get better. If he had been in Taiwan Prison, it would have taken at least thirty days.
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "Returning to the Empress Dowager, Wei Chen accidentally fell down at night."
Empress Dowager Cao said: "Although you young people can see clearly, you are the ones who are often prone to falling."
Zhang Fei immediately said: "The Queen Mother's teachings, I will definitely keep them in mind."
Empress Dowager Cao chuckled and said, "I am not here to teach, but I am here to listen to your class. You can go to class with peace of mind and don't be disturbed by me."
"I obey."
"Go quickly." Zhao Xu pointed to the podium.
"yes."
The student quickly came to his seat, folded his hands, placed them in front of his belly, and stood with his head bowed.
Zhang Fei stood on the podium and looked at them blankly, "What are you doing? Are you going to call me teacher? Then you should call me teacher!"
There was silence in the lobby.
Xu Zun could only wipe his sweat as he watched. He saw why Zhang Fei was in a daze. You don't even understand the etiquette of teachers and students, and you still talk about etiquette. This is really terrible!
If I am trapped by this etiquette, it will be too restrictive and not conducive to my performance. Zhang Fei waved his hands casually and said: "Sit down! Sit down! Just treat it as an academic exchange as before, because I can speak well."
It’s not necessarily right.”
The students secretly exchanged glances.
"is teacher."
Then they all knelt down and sat down.
There are no chairs in this lobby, so you can only sit on your knees with a low table.
Zhang Fei had seen big scenes and was not panicked at all. He leaned on the podium again, folded his arms and showed his signature moves, which made Queen Mother Cao shake her head. Is this what a teacher looks like?
"I heard that you recently took a rather profound class."
Um?
The students looked at Zhang Fei in confusion.
Zhang Fei clicked his tongue: "Just go to jail!"
".!"
It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.
Cai Bian and others were each more embarrassed than the other.
The ministers also found it funny.
All I can say is that he is a man.
Empress Dowager Cao couldn't help but asked Zhao Xu in a low voice: "Is being in jail also something to be proud of?"
Zhao Xu didn't know how to answer.
Zhang Fei said: "Why don't you say anything? Let me tell you, this is a very valuable experience for you to study law. It is not a bad thing to experience the process of being interrogated in advance."
How embarrassing.
The students all buried their heads in silence.
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "You are not saying anything. Could it be that you are guilty of being a thief and are afraid of being caught again?"
Shangguan Jun couldn't bear it anymore and immediately said: "Isn't the teacher sitting down too?"
Finally some people couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Fei said: "I have sat there before when I was in Dengzhou. This is not an improvement for me."
The laughter grew even louder.
Empress Dowager Cao asked Zhao Xu: "Did he teach like this before?"
Zhao Xu Kankan replied: "It's not bad, it's almost the same."
Shangguan Jun opened his mouth, and Ye Zuqia couldn't help it anymore. He didn't care about the etiquette between teachers and students and said: "We are burdened by the teacher."
Zhang Fei smiled and asked: "Then do you think I broke the law?"
Ye Zuqia said: "Students don't know the specific situation and dare not speak nonsense."
Zhang Fei said: "You are all involved, you don't know the situation?"
Ye Zuqia didn't dare to say anything.
There were only fifteen of them, and there were only sixteen of them including Zhang Fei. They were surrounded by more than a hundred people. If it was not illegal, wouldn't it be accusing those censors of bending the law for their own interests?
Are you talking nonsense about those scholar-bureaucrats?
But if they break the law, they will really go back.
"You are not very young. You are all very smooth and very nice. The teacher is proud of you."
Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed, came to the board, wrote the word "illegal" and said: "Whether I broke the law or not is the first thing we will talk about in this class."
Wang Anshi couldn't help but murmured: "Is it so direct?"
Fu Bi also looked worried.
It was originally decided that you were not breaking the law, but in the end you took the initiative to argue your case. This...
Zhang Fei asked again: "Why does Yushitai think I broke the law?"
"If you don't say anything, do you mean you don't know?"
"Does it mean that the teacher's legal system disrupts the rules and regulations and corrupts the law?"
"What exactly do you mean?"
"Defending the legitimate rights and interests of individuals is deceptive and will make people become profit-seeking and disregard ordinary ethics."
Zhang Fei immediately wrote the words "Defend personal legitimate rights and interests" on the wooden board and asked: "Do you think it is demagoguery?"
"Well, students think it may cause ambiguity." Ye Zuqia said in a low voice.
Zhang Fei asked other students: "Do you all think so?"
Everyone nodded reluctantly.
"How about compared to this sentence?"
After saying that, Zhang Fei wrote "The people are the most important, the country is second, the king is the least important" under "Defend the legitimate rights and interests of individuals", tapped the wooden board lightly and asked: "Will this sentence cause ambiguity?
