Chapter 258: Li Si (First Update)
A few years ago, the generals Meng Fu, Xiangbang LΓΌ Buwei, and Shangqing Gangchengjun Cai Ze were the highest-ranking ministers in the Qin court, and they had almost all the real power in Qin.
In addition, the three of them are equivalent to foreign courtiers for both the Qin clan and the Chu foreign relatives, so the three of them are cautious about each other. Now, the general Meng Fu has been dead for a long time, and the remaining two have such a personal relationship, there is nothing to worry about.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the revised Qin Law has been sent to various museums for many days, and in order to make the future Qin Law perfect, the students here can express their opinions without scruples. If there is an opinion that is adopted as a decree, Wen Xinhou will reward him as promised! β
Standing on the high platform surrounded by everyone, Cai Ze, who had just become a gentleman, was holding a paper book, and the unique sound of snorting rippled in the wind, swirling around, falling into the ears of many visitors.
"There is a word below, although the revised Qin Law has added the sections of disaster relief, Xingwen, merchant, and filial piety, and all punishments will be alleviated by three points, so that the Qin Law created by Shang Jun has become a grand and perfect trend."
However, the Qin Law of the Shang Monarch has been practiced for more than a hundred years, and the Qin people do not seem to feel inconvenienced, and there is no call for the government and the opposition to repair the Law. I am worried about it, but I am afraid that Wenxinhou's new law has no foundation for implementation, and I hope Wenxinhou will think twice. β
As soon as Cai Ze's words fell, this beautiful environment, surrounded by trees, was a person's arm raised high, and then, he bowed to the four directions, and finally looked at the high platform.
On the high platform is Cai Ze, who has just become a king, on a low platform on the side of the high platform, but there are a display of cases, an old man in a splendid purple robe kneels on it, with a high mountain crown tied his hair, while sipping tea, while listening to the discussion.
"Be timid, what a big deal!"
"I used to be a law enforcer in the Tingwei Mansion, and I know the disadvantages of the Qin Law! In the past, the power of the Qin Law was born in response to the trend. Over the past hundred years, the general trend of the world and the livelihood of ordinary people have changed greatly, and if the Qin law is not amended in time, it will inevitably become a shackle for the Qin State to continue to be strong! β
"Wen Xinhou revised the Qin law, and is preparing for the Qin State one day, and has not changed the previous national policy, so why be afraid!"
Suddenly, following the person who spoke before, on the grass next to the forest, a black-clothed bamboo-crowned scholar said in a loud voice, with a slightly angry expression and a slight dissatisfaction, and bowed to all directions, speaking loudly.
There were clear differences of opinion between the speeches, and the rest of the scholars who gathered around them did not think of it, and it was common for them to have different opinions here, and if they had been unanimous, they would not be here today.
"I have a question!"
"Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, whenever the law is changed, its purpose must be clarified first. For example, the purpose of Shang Jun's change of law is to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Today's amendment to the Qin Law does not clarify the purpose at the beginning, but only adds to the law. Dare to ask Wen Xinhou: What is the purpose of the amendment? Why can't it be made public at the beginning of the Qin Law Chapter? β
There was no accident, followed by the person before, another young scholar held a copy of "Lu's Spring and Autumn", saluted in all directions, his eyebrows flashed, first looked at Cai Ze, the king of Gangchengjun on the high platform, and then looked at the purple-robed old man on the side of the high platform.
Whenever the legal system is revised, there must be an outline, but no one has talked about the subject of today's argumentation, and since this has been the case, it is tantamount to being imaginative and arbitrary, and how can we get to the point?
Sure enough, this person's words fell, and the scholars around the entire high platform applauded for it, which is also what they were thinking, if they could know the outline of the revision of the Qin Law, today's theme would be much more appropriate.
"The purpose of amending the Qin Law is to abandon the harsh internal punishment and strict laws, and the external sharp soldiers and violent soldiers, so that the Qin State can establish the world with lenient punishment and clear laws, and enrich the country and the righteous soldiers to dominate the world!"
"The difference between domineering and royal is the difference between the Shang Jun Law and the Wen Xin Hou Law. The reason why it is not stated at the beginning of the article is that he does not want the government and the opposition to discuss disputes in vain. That's it, how can he! β
The low whispers around the high platform continued, and the field fell into an indifferent situation for a while, Cai Ze, who was standing on the high platform, saw that no one continued to respond, his head turned slightly, and he glanced at the purple-robed old man on the side below, exhaled lightly, and whispered.
I didn't expect these scholars to fall to the core so quickly!
"Just Chengjun's words are wrong!"
"In Xia Nai, the Legalist Shen does not harm the heirs, dare to ask the Justified King, Qin is the holy land of the Legalist family, abandoning the royal road of benevolence and righteousness, implementing the policy of cultivating the country, and looking at the world with strength, it has its own origin!"
"The purpose of Wen Xinhou's cultivation of the law, if it is really to restore the old way of royal benevolence and righteousness, is it not to cover up the silence? Rather than this, how can it be blatantly prosperous, and change the law as forcefully as a merchant monarch! β
A hundred years ago, the three factions of Legalism changed the law in the Three Kingdoms, the rule of law faction was Shang Jun, the law was changed in the Qin State, the Shuzhi faction was Shen Buharm, the law was changed in Korea, the Shizhi faction was cautious, and the law was changed in the Qi State.
Twenty years after the three people changed the law, the Qin State defeated the Wei State and recaptured the Hexi land occupied by the Wei State, and since then the Shang Jun has changed the law to the great success.
And South Korea's Shen Bu Harm Reform, due to the war and conflict between Qi and Wei, coupled with the conflict between the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling, the national strength that South Korea had finally accumulated did not exist, and the Shen Bu Harm Reform Law was declared a failure.
Although the cautious trip to the Qi State made some achievements, allowing the Qi State to defeat the Wei State, defeat the Korean State, and defeat the Chu State, and dominate for a while, however, decades later, the Qi State was almost destroyed by the Yan State, and the foundation of the legal system has not existed since then.
It is true that in the entire Warring States period, only the Qin State continued to follow the legal system, and for a time, the people of the Legalists took it as a happy land and rushed to come here, either as guests or officials.
If we talk about the law today, we want to return to the royal road, wouldn't we have taken the old road of the past, weakened the study of Legalism, introduced the law of the three generations, and introduced the essence of Confucianism, which is something that Legalists cannot accept in any case.
The words fell, the entire area of the Dharma Discussion fell silent again, the Qin State is the holy land of the Dharma Realm, and it will never allow the invasion of the Hundred Schools of Thought by foreign sons, and the study of the royal road is absolutely impossible.
"In Xia Lisi, I thought that all the public opinions were not to the point. According to the truth, there should be a change in the Qin law. However, the purpose of Changming and the strong change of the law are not tolerated in the world! β
"When filial piety is the prince and the king, the warring states stand side by side, check each other, and properly mediate to win time to change the law, even if you use force internally, you can also avoid the intervention of other countries. Today's situation is very different, the Qin State is dominant, and Sen Senran has become the target of everyone! β
"Once the powerful change is chaotic, the six countries that are struggling to survive will have to rush with all their might, and then the Qin State's century-old prosperity and strength will be destroyed in one fell swoop! Only in this way can we make roundabout and gradual changes, starting with the addition and revision of the law, and make a long-term plan to change the law. β
Such pragmatic difficulties cannot be solved by vain arguments. Only by observing the current situation, can we see the painstaking efforts of Wen Xinhou! Even so, according to the situation of the Qin State today, Li Si dared to ask for a postponement of the revision of the law, and Wen Xinhou thought twice. β
Suddenly, after a hundred and ten breaths, a young man stood up from among the others, first saluted the purple-robed old man on the low platform and Cai Ze, the Gangchengjun on the high platform, and then looked around and spoke eloquently.
Dressed in a light blue brocade robe, with handsome eyebrows, although not as handsome and chic as Han Fei, but with a little more calmness, he swirled loudly and expressed his gains to show his inner drive.
"Lees! Revision of the Fa is the most important thing, so why postpone it! β
If he can't revise the legal system as soon as possible and integrate his own principles into it, after a while, I'm afraid that these old ministers will be useless.
What's more, in the course of one day, the Qin Law is not suitable for the Kwantung countries, if it cannot be changed as soon as possible, even if it is under the sun in the future, it will still be necessary to revise the law, so it is not necessary to do it now.
"Hahaha, you don't have to be angry. Today's theory, you are seeking for me and the country, and the old man has benefited a lot, and I am deeply grateful! As far as the facts are concerned, you are all famous people in the world, and you still have opinions and wisdom, but what about the world? What's the situation with the Qin government? β
"If so, to revise the Qin Law, you must first have a theoretical battle. Otherwise, it is not enough to conform to people's hearts! However, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all the disputes over changing the law, the struggle for government, and the struggle for governing the country have often been mired in the polemics of practical utilitarianism. β
"If you want to change the law again in the Qin State, you must first start with the theory, delve into the way of governing the country in the past dynasties, and weigh the gains and losses of the laws and regulations with the eyes of thousands of historians. If this kind of insight can be popular, it is expected that the law will be changed again! However, at present, the affairs of the school palace can be reversed, and continue to add and revise the "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period", and then revise the law, and the book is also a preparation for the law! What do you think? β
Finally, the purple-robed old man who had been staying on the high platform slowly stood up, looked at the hundreds of scholars and disciples in front of him, smiled brightly, bowed, and said slowly.
There are those who agree and those who disagree, but those are not important, the important thing is that this matter, decide to do it yourself, since you disagree, then postpone, it's a pity, there is not much time left for yourself.
I hope that in the future, I will be able to leave my own "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period" in the Qin State, in the Warring States, and in Zhuxia, so as to correct the legal system of Qin.
"Everyone talks about the law, not as good as the words of Lis! If the widow is not mistaken, on that trip to Xinzheng, Li Si was the successor envoy of Qin. β
"The way of the Qin law, the widow has already planned, and it is inevitable to amend the Qin law, but now is not the time, wait for the widow to carry the general trend to correct the world, and then turn the law of the Qin country into the law of the world, if Mr. Han Fei enters Qin, this matter is easy!"
Also standing quietly in this place of Tianshen Hall, Qin Wangzheng and the three of them listened for a long time, each with their own gains, and when Wen Xin waited for Lu Buwei to end the argument, Yingzheng sighed lightly.
His eyes swept and fell on the light blue brocade-robed man in the crowd, this person could see it clearly, as he thought, Qin Fa was going to change, but not now.
"Does the king know who this Li Si is?"
Within Xinzheng, Li Si and Han Fei have met, and according to their own knowledge, Han Fei has already made suggestions for Li Si to return the crisis in Xinzheng, and now, the other party is still staying in the Wenxin Palace without impatience.
This person is not good, he is worthy of being the mainstay of the empire in the long river of years, hearing the words of Qin Wangzheng, and smiling lightly, it is gold that can shine anywhere, and it is remembered by Yingzheng today, and it will be an opportunity in the future.
"Oh, listen to the master, this person is strange?"
Sure enough, King Qin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, quite interested.
"His person also came out of the Confucian Xun Sect, a few months ago, he went out of the Little Sage Village with Han Fei, the son of Han, the difference is that Han Fei stayed in the Qin State, and this person came to the Qin State!"
