Those with high status can act according to the prevailing circumstances.
No one wants to be the one who stands out.
Except... the Donggong faction.
Xu Changqing was the first to stand up and scolded: "Master Bian, the current war situation has just been reported from the front line. We still don't know what it will be like. You are already thinking about pursuing the responsibility. Shouldn't you be thinking about how to make up for it and save it?"
?"
Bian Guan Yue Zhengfeng said: "How can you convince the public if you don't punish your mistakes? Princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people. Only by upholding the law can the follow-up remedial measures be implemented properly. Otherwise, there will be another group of people who are not afraid of the consequences and do not consider the consequences.
Implementing remedial measures means that no matter how appropriate the court's measures are, if they are not implemented effectively, they are just empty talk."
"Nonsense!"
Xu Changqing sneered and said: "You are indeed worthy of being the Minister of Dali Temple. Opening your mouth is the law. Law, I have never said that I will not hold the culprits accountable. It is just that things have priorities. The top priority right now is for the court to get a charter."
Come out to deal with such a catastrophic problem instead of fighting in a nest first."
Bian Guanyue said coldly: "Mr. Xu is very arrogant, and pursuing responsibility is one of the important remedial measures."
Xu Changqing was annoyed and said bluntly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on the front line at the moment. If based on your argument, if the front line obeys His Highness's orders, will His Highness be the first to be held accountable!?"
Most people would not dare to accept this.
But Bian Guanyue dared.
He said righteously: "I have also said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Since the founding of the country by the great ancestor, this dynasty has had instructions that all living beings are equal before the country's discipline and law!"
These words made everyone look at each other in shock.
I know that Guan Yue here is eloquent and extremely strong, but this is the first time I have seen someone dare to say so.
It is true that a prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
But the problem is, this truth is meant for the common people.
You know, there is another saying that punishment cannot make you a doctor.
This is to preserve the dignity of the upper class.
Once you reach a certain position and height, ordinary corruption and perversion of the law are no longer enough to knock down a frontier official or court official.
Otherwise, why have corrupt officials been killed and beheaded in every dynasty?
Human nature is greedy, but more importantly, vested interest groups have tacit rules. If all officials are corrupt, then there will be no corrupt officials.
This rule is big enough to challenge the imperial power.
Do the emperors really not know which of the officials in their court is clean and which is unclean?
They know it better than anyone else.
But never took it seriously.
No matter how big the mistake is, he will be dismissed from office.
There is only one reason that really affects the wealth and life of a person of this level: political struggle.
"Bian Guanyue!"
Xu Changqing shouted sharply: "You are so brave! Do you want to ruin the dignity of the court by speaking out like this!?"
Bian Guanyue sneered: "Master Xu looks so angry and frustrated, it's not decent at all."
At this moment, an important person stood up.
Fu Yuzhi, who served as the provincial magistrate and the minister of the Ministry of Rites.
"Master Xu, don't be excited. The prince has made mistakes, and if he does, he should correct them. We and other ministers are also considering the royal family and the country. If we just flatter ourselves blindly, the prince has not yet ascended the throne, but he has already seen the suffering of the world.
How can we govern the Qin Empire well if we cannot hear the voice of the world?"
