Many Legalist scholars looked ashamed, while scholars from other schools also fell into deep thought.
Legalists have advocated the use of punishment to stop punishment for more than 600 years, but they are still on the same track and have not removed punishment from the laws of other countries. Is it because Legalists rely on punishment, are unable to give up punishment, or is it because of the law?
Home's idea is wrong, and the reasons are indeed worth pondering.
No matter how reluctant Legalists are to admit it, no one can deny the fact that despite the experience of more than six hundred years and the abuse of punishment by corrupt officials, no one can deny the fact that up to now, Legalists have advocated the use of punishment to stop punishment.
, but failed to truly end punishment with punishment.
The purpose of Legalism's use of punishment to eliminate punishment is to eliminate all punishment.
Now, Du Ning proposed to abolish all torture and remove all instruments of torture. As a result, Legalists stood up to oppose it, believing that Du Ning's approach was wrong and violated the order of the human race.
This makes people feel an incomparable contradiction. On the one hand, Legalists call for punishment to be punished and are determined to make the world eliminate punishment, but on the other hand, they are opposed to the abolition of punishment.
This is simply a huge absurdity.
Qin Wenxi's expression suddenly became extremely ugly. He originally thought that the Legalist scholars could persuade Du Ning to give up his idea of abolition of punishment.
Unexpectedly, Du Ning's words caused many Legalist scholars present to fall into contradictions.
"What a person who has put an end to punishment on behalf of heaven. He is truly worthy of being a civilized monarch of the human race. He said it with such loudness!"
"Is Du Jun trying to replace the Legalists to complete the purpose of stopping executions? Such a denial of the Holy Way of the Legalists will not be tolerated by the Legalists."
"It's a pity that Du Jun is only a great scholar. If he were a great scholar and said these words, he would definitely attract the attention of the Legalist Semi-Saint, and he might even be punished by the Legalist Semi-Saint."
Many people started whispering.
However, suddenly, a scholar suddenly realized it and said: "I understand! I understand! The reason why Du Jun advocated the removal of punishment is because most of the people who break the law are not ordinary people, but scholars from aristocratic families. But scholars from aristocratic families
Because with the protection of privileges, most punishments can be avoided, so the Legalist idea of using punishment to eliminate punishment is empty talk and can never be realized."
Then another scholar said: "I see! If the punishment of punishment cannot be used on scholars from aristocratic families, then scholars from aristocratic families will continue to oppress the people based on their privileges. In this way, the ideas of Legalism will be used by scholars from aristocratic families and become
A protective umbrella for scholars from aristocratic families to make mistakes."
These words made the Legalist scholars present extremely angry.
"Shut up! Who do you think you are? How dare you slander our holy way of Legalism!"
"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! Presumptuous!"
"You are so audacious. Do you still have our Legalists in your eyes? Do you still have the holy way of our Legalists!"
Many Legalist scholars were furious and shouted, unable to accept such words from scholars of other schools.
Aren’t they here to support Legalists? Why do they suddenly support Du Ning’s views?
They are simply a group of capricious and insidious villains.
"Kacha..."
At this moment, a clear voice sounded in Wei Bocheng's literary palace, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and stars appeared in his eyes.
Because he could not refute Du Ning's remarks, he fell into the contradiction of Legalist ideals, so that his literary courage faltered and cracked.
"Impossible! This is simply impossible!"
Wei Bocheng's eyes were about to burst, he gnashed his teeth, and let out a roar of extreme grief and anger: "Is it possible that our legalist ideas are wrong? Is it that I, Wei Bocheng, am totally wrong!"
"No! That's not the case! How could there be such a ridiculous thing?"
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
While Wei Bocheng shouted, Wen Dan kept making "kacha" sounds and continued to crack.
"Ahem..."
Wei Bocheng kept coughing up blood in his mouth, and in the end he was bleeding from all his orifices, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.
This scene caused many Legalist scholars to collapse.
Wei Bocheng's literary courage cracked, indicating that he could no longer overcome Du Ning's argument and fell into a more entangled contradiction.
Du Ning watched all this indifferently. Although he did not want anything to happen to Wei Bocheng's literary courage, this was a battle of ideas, a battle of beliefs, and to a greater extent, a battle of holy ways.
But any battle between different thoughts and beliefs is often so fierce and cruel that if you are not careful, your courage will be shattered.
"I thought Mr. Wei was thinking about the order of the human race, but I didn't expect that he was just looking for an excuse to fight for fame and fortune. It's ridiculous for me to argue with someone like you!"
After Du Ning said these words, he ignored everyone and turned around and walked into the door of his home.
Wei Bocheng's face suddenly turned red, as if Du Ning had revealed his mind, and he was extremely embarrassed and angry.
If Wei Bocheng was really thinking about the human race, his literary courage would not be so seriously cracked. Then there is only one explanation. Wei Bocheng just argued with Du Ning under the banner of thinking about the order of the human race, and wanted to win through the debate.
To make a name for yourself and make yourself known to everyone in the human race countries.
Precisely because the reason why Wei Bocheng came to debate on this trip was more selfish and more concerned about his own reputation, his literary courage soon collapsed when he was unable to win the debate. p>
After the debate failed, Wei Bocheng's reputation was ruined, because he not only embarrassed himself, but also embarrassed the Legalists.
"Poof!"
Wei Bocheng finally spat out a mouthful of blood, fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Kachakacha..."
Many Legalist scholars also have problems with their ideas. Their literary gallbladders cracked one after another and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.
However, their situation is much better than that of Wei Bocheng. It is just a crack in the literary style, which can be repaired by correcting the mistakes.
Wei Bocheng's literary courage has been completely broken, and there is no possibility of recovery. From now on, he will be just a bachelor without literary courage, unless the Legalist half-sage is willing to use the power of the holy way to rebuild his literary courage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But for a person who fails in debate and whose ideas are wavering, it is obviously not worth the legalist half-sage's personal action.
"Bang!"
Du Ning closed the door forcefully, blocking out all the scholars.
Many scholars looked at each other with extremely ugly expressions. There is no doubt that if they asked Wei Bocheng to win against Du Ning today and asked Du Ning to give up his idea of abolition of punishment, they could only end in failure.
The scholars outside the gate of Du Ning's mansion left angrily, and some Legalist scholars took the unconscious Wei Bocheng away for treatment.
Soon after, Wei Bocheng failed in the literary debate with Du Ning, and the story of his broken literary courage spread throughout Kongcheng.
Scholars from various countries gathered together and had an in-depth discussion based on the content of the debate between the two.
Someone else recorded what Du Ning said, edited it into an article, and published it in the literary world, allowing scholars from all over the world to analyze it in various aspects.
As a result, scholars from various aristocratic families attacked Du Ning wildly, and even cursed Du Ning, thinking that Du Ning was slandering various aristocratic families.
Such a violent reaction also made some people realize that it was precisely because Du Ning hit their mark that these scholars from aristocratic families became so angry.
As more and more people protest against this matter, scholars from various countries have a new perspective on it.
Some scholars even changed their original opinions against Du Ning's abolition of punishment, and gradually agreed with Du Ning's ideas.
There are also some people who are aware of the clues in the Legalist approach to terminating punishment with punishment. After all, it has been persisting for more than six hundred years, but it is still at the stage where it is still standing still.
Not only that, Legalist scholars have changed from their original ideal of abolition of punishment to their strong opposition to the abolition of punishment, which immediately makes people see the contradiction.
Most of the Legalist scholars were so angry that Du Ning spent more than 600 years mocking them for still not realizing the ideal of using punishment to eliminate punishment. This is simply a big deal for many Legalist scholars.
Humiliation.
Although Legalists were reluctant to admit it, let alone accept it, they could not refute what Du Ning said. Even if they felt aggrieved, they could only endure it.
…………
December twenty-eight.
The Great Confucianism Hall took advantage of the last time at the end of the year to hold the last Great Confucian Discussion of the year.
Many great scholars gathered together to discuss Du Ning's idea of reforming the law and abolishing punishment.
In addition to the representative Confucian scholars from various countries, Comte also invited three Legalist Confucians to come to discuss the matter in the name of the Confucian Hall. Even Yan Shenggong of the Confucius family also participated in the discussion of the Confucian Hall. This is also
A very rare exception for Da Rudian.
The great scholars from all over the world were whispering to each other, and the discussion was even more intense than the last time they discussed it in the Great Confucian Hall, occasionally accompanied by the sound of quarrels.
"I think Du Jun's idea is correct! You Legalists advocate punishment, but most of these punishments are used on ordinary people. Have you ever seen scholars from aristocratic families being tortured? No! If that's the case, why can't they be replaced?
A new set of laws and a new way to govern the country?"
"How outrageous! How dare you say such rebellious words in the Hall of Confucianism and attempt to overthrow the holy way of the semi-saint Han Feizi? It is simply a heinous crime and cannot be tolerated by heaven!"
"Hmph! You Legalists first used Han Feizi's 'punishment with punishment' to overthrow Shang Yang's 'punishment with punishment'. Now why should Du Jun overthrow Han Feizi's 'punishment with punishment'?"
"Bold! Are you trying to subvert the order of the human race? How can you govern a country without punishment? How can you govern the world? It's simply putting the cart before the horse."
"You can't say that. Only by constantly overthrowing the old order can new laws be born. If the old doesn't go away, the new won't come. Why are you so persistent?"
Several great scholars were quarreling with red faces, and no one could convince anyone. As a result, the more they quarreled, the more irritating they became.
After a long time, the quarrel gradually calmed down, and everyone discussed for a long time without any results. Instead, they were all suffocating.
Lu Xionghua, a great scholar of the Liao Kingdom, said: "In short, we are not in agreement with Du Jun's ideas. That will cause endless troubles and may even cause the civilization of the human race to regress. We must not do such stupid things."
Fu Shuyun immediately retorted: "If Du Jun's "New Laws of China" is conducive to the progress of human civilization, what Mr. Lu is doing is an attempt to hinder the progress of human civilization. Can Mr. Lu bear the consequences?"<
/p>
"Haha... Du Jun's "New Laws of China" will help the progress of human civilization? This is really a big joke."
Lu Xionghua seemed to have heard something extremely funny and couldn't help laughing, his face full of contempt and disdain.
The three Legalist scholars also started laughing.
Later, the leading Legalist scholar Mei Shutang said to Du Ning: "Du Jun, you are young and promising, and we and other scholars admire you very much, but after all, you are still too young and lack the qualifications. There are some things that you cannot control.
Although our legalists have not reached the highest level of using punishment to stop punishment, no one dares to question our legalist philosophy of governing the country. You are still just a bachelor. If you can know the way astray and return, you can be saved. Otherwise, if you try to subvert the human race
Order, even if you are only a great scholar, I, the Legalist Semi-Saint, would not mind condescending to engage in a holy battle with you. Now, you still have time to step back from the brink."
Du Ning said proudly: "I have created a new world for Legalism and revolutionized Legalism's thoughts. It's too late for the Half-Saint of Legalism to thank me, so how can he start a fight for the Holy Way against me? If we can't make the prince commit the same crime as the common people, we will never be able to do so.
Achieve the state of 'stopping punishment'."
"Absurd! Ignorant children dare to comment on the holy way of Legalism. It is simply overestimating their abilities!" Mei Shutang looked angry.
Lu Xionghua also sneered. Today, a great Legalist scholar is present, and Du Ning cannot be allowed to be presumptuous in front of Legalists.
Fan Heshan suddenly said: "I see that you have been discussing here for a long time, and there is one thing that I am unhappy about. You great scholars who support Legalism keep saying that Du Jun's "New Laws of China" will subvert the order of the human race, and even bring about the collapse of the human race.
Civilization has regressed. In fact, this is just your unrealistic idea. There is no evidence to prove it."
"Humph!" Lu Xionghua looked displeased, but had no way to refute.
Fan Heshan continued: "Isn't your highest ideal of legalism in governing the country to make people in the world fear punishment, so that they dare not violate the law and abide by the restrictions of the law, so as to achieve the goal of not needing punishment? In fact, Du Jun's idea is consistent with
You Legalists all hope to eliminate punishment for the human race, so he proposed to reform the law. Strictly speaking, Du Jun is not violating the purpose of your Legalism, but pursuing the purpose of your Legalism and injecting new ideas into your Legalism.
Du Jun said, since you Legalists are unwilling to give up the criminal law, let Du Jun stop punishment on behalf of heaven. Isn't this the highest state of using punishment to stop punishment?"
The three Legalist scholars were stunned for a moment, and then they thought carefully about Fan Heshan's words.
"What nonsense!"
Lu Xionghua's expression suddenly changed, and then he ridiculed: "Mr. Fan is a great scholar from a semi-sage family in the Yun Kingdom, but he is so eloquent, and he insists on describing the idea of subverting the order of the human race as
It’s really admirable to follow the holy way of Legalism!”
