"Sri's law is naturally the law to safeguard the country's rule."
Well, this is nonsense.
Lu Yan couldn't help but smile and said again: "Then let me ask another question, where do you think the law comes from?"
"Of course it is the need for national governance. Junior brother, do you have any other opinions on this point?"
"The laws of heaven and earth must be implemented without delay. The emergence of laws must come before the country."
Li Si's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this, and he stared at Lu Yan in disbelief, "Junior brother, are you confused? Don't you think it's ridiculous to say such a thing?"
Of course, Lu Yan was not confused. He had thought about the ideological dispute between himself and Li Si countless times. This time he hoped to be able to say something that would shake Li Si's corner.
"The law is indeed the will of the country's ruling class, but it is not just that. It is a reflection of the needs of the collective interests of society under specific material living conditions. Shang Jun's reforms made Qin strong and ensured the rule of King Qin; but do not
Forgot, this law originated from the Lord Shang protected Qin’s vast group of farmers, who were the foundation of Qin’s rule.
In other words, such a law ensures the interests of the broadest group of people, thereby consolidating the rule of the Qin State. The teacher said that the king is the boat, and the people are the water. Water can carry the boat, and water can overturn it.
You should understand which one is more important."
Of course, Li Si quickly understood what he meant, "You want to say that Si's laws only focus on strengthening Qin's rule over the people, but ignore the protection of the people's interests. This will eventually lead to chaos in the country."
"Yes, the law is a tool of the ruler. It is undeniable that it has a class character. It does not have the sacred adjectives of fairness and justice. It will also make mistakes when the law goes against the interests of the majority of the people under material living conditions.
, such laws should be amended.
The so-called law of heaven and earth must be implemented without slacking off. This means that at any time, the most fundamental law in heaven and earth should ensure the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. The implementation of the law does not necessarily require the dependence of the state. Because if a country’s laws
If it cannot guarantee the interests of the vast majority of the people under its rule, such a law is not worthy of being called law, and such a country is destined to perish."
After Lu Yan finished speaking, he stared at Li Si with burning eyes, hoping that he would wake up from it.
Li Si was silent for a long time, nodding and shaking his head, "Junior brother, what you said is indeed the ideal principle of the law, but I don't think that the world that is about to be unified today can be governed by your ideal law.
The world, which had been in chaos for thousands of years, was suddenly unified by the Qin State. The chaotic area could be unified by force, but how could the complicated people's hearts be unified into a country? There were no severe punishments to watch over those who were subjugated, and there was no complete transformation of the people of the Six Kingdoms.
For the sake of the Qin people, taking the lead in protecting their interests is obviously a way to bring disaster."
Lu Yan couldn't help but think of all the infamy Li Si received in history, and asked: "If the people of the Six Kingdoms are not allowed to enjoy the benefits brought by the new country, how can we turn them into Qin people?"
"Don't you think that if Qin destroyed their mother country, they would not hate Qin if they took Qin's interests?"
"Yes, this kind of hatred is not so easy to eliminate, but I am already preparing in advance. Cruel legal suppression will only make this kind of hatred grow more. In the end, this hatred will be used by careerists among the nobles of the Six Nations. If it really develops to
That step was the real disaster for Qin."
Lu Yan clearly remembered that after the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising in history, anti-Qin forces quickly swept across the country. There were many reasons for the fall of the Qin Empire, but if the people of the world really lived well under the rule of the Qin Empire, the spark of the uprising
Why did it suddenly start a prairie fire?
"Brother, since I formally confirmed my ambition with my teacher, I have been planning for the unification of the nine states every day. In today's world, the people are just farming tools who are bound to the land. They have no self-awareness and follow orders.
To the feudal nobles. With the popularity of papermaking and printing, the people of Qin have begun to have themselves. They enjoy Qin's national policies and will consciously safeguard the interests of the country.
When the world is unified, I will bring the preferential policies of Qin to the people of the world, so that they can eat well, wear warm clothes, study, and have hope like the people of Qin now! I don’t believe it, enjoying these
The people will also be seduced by the careerists among the aristocracy, and have irresolvable hatred for an emerging Chinese nation. Every step I have taken so far has been for an emerging unified country and a new cohesive nation.
nation.
Senior brother, when it comes to educating the people and making their lives prosperous, you are not as good as me; but when it comes to formulating the country’s legal red lines and maintaining social order in a systematic and standardized manner, I am not as good as you.
I am telling you this today because I hope that your and my ideals will not compete with each other, but complement each other. Aren't the world of law, the education of Confucianism, and this brand-new country the political ideals shared by you and me?"
Li Si listened to Lu Yan's true feelings and blinked his eyelids to hide his turbulent heart.
Junior brother, worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness. If there is a saint in this world, it is only you. This is why Si is jealous of you, but cannot hate you.
Forget it, the State of Zhao is about to be destroyed. It depends on how you can heal this enemy country that has a blood feud with the State of Qin, and let the people of Zhao and the people of Qin become brothers again. If you can do this, you will probably be proven that you are right.
His heart has been shaken, but he cannot deny the persistence he has learned throughout his life in a short period of time.
With his nose twitching twice, Li Si took the lead and took the step forward, "Let's go. If we continue talking, we won't be able to reach Tingwei's Mansion at dawn."
"Senior brother..." Lu Yan couldn't help but shout at his back.
Li Si did not look back and walked forward quickly. He just left his words in the night, "There will soon be a chance to prove your ideas and mine. Until then, it will not be too late for you and me to argue."
"Ha~" Lu Yan looked at his back with a smile on his lips, knowing that he had not returned without success today. He happily greeted to the left and right, "Let's hurry to Tingwei's Mansion."
The people in the net quickened their pace, and the bound people let out various dull sobs, which echoed in the silent streets, which was a bit scary.
After sending the person to Tingwei's mansion, Lu Yan patted his butt and prepared to leave. After all, professional people do professional things, and he wanted to go back and seize the time to relax for a while.
Li Si suddenly stopped him, "Master Imperial Master, if there are no accidents, these people will be able to leave Tingwei Mansion in a short time. Do you really think this sentence is okay?"
"You are Tingwei..." Lu Yan responded calmly first, and then said goodbye with a smile, "Well, I am so sorry for causing so much trouble tonight and burdening Lord Tingwei's work. Tingwei's house is on official business.
I'll take my leave now."
Li Si followed Lu Yan's footsteps and walked forward twice before he suddenly stopped, looked at his back and said, "Sorry, I won't send you far away."
When Lu Yan completely disappeared from sight, he rolled up his sleeves and shouted sternly: "Take over the suspect and prepare for interrogation."
