Chapter 644: The Dignity of the Law of Nations

Everyone knows a sentence, called it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, no matter how powerful a character is, in the face of chaotic family affairs, he also rests and sorts out a clue, not to mention right and wrong, basically the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and in the end it is to play fifty boards each.

Obviously, Zhu Di didn't want to see such a result.

"I do want to be judged, but now the argument between the two sides is fierce, I want to arrange an opponent for you, and you must also win the beauty!"

If you want to win, don't arrange your opponent!

Liu Chun seemed to see Zhu Yuanzhang's possession, these two men were really carved out of the same mold, they were so unreasonable!

But this matter is really not difficult for Liu Chun.

If you want to say what Liu Chun has studied the most, the first recommendation is "The Great Message", as a person who has served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard twice, Liu Chun is familiar with all the laws and regulations, and he has also written the Emperor's ancestral teachings, which is definitely the authority of the authorities.

So he gladly accepted.

At this moment, state and county officials from all over the country have entered Beijing one after another, and thousands of people have gathered in the capital.

This is not an ordinary person, but a group of local parents.

It is undeniable that there are many mediocre people here, but there are even more smart people.

They were also inevitably drawn into the battle of public opinion in the capital.

First, a group of old men smashed the globe angrily, and then some old men lynched their grandchildren.

The whole newspaper was outraged, and the writers who had advocated that young people should control their own destiny seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, scolding the old stubborn and arrogant old man.

Originally, those who maintained the rules were also more strenuous and advocated that family law is family law, even if there are inappropriate places, but the family and the country are all over the world, first there is a family, and then there is a country, and the court should not interfere with family law.

After they said this, the author of the other party caught the loophole.

Since you all admit that something is wrong, why not correct it? Could it be that watching the living beings being tamed into little minions and little old men by the old man is watched?

Doesn't a person even have the right to choose what he likes?

Obviously. As the debate deepened, more and more layers were touched.

In the past, Liu Chun promoted the reform of the law, realized the Juntian, reformed the imperial examination, and encouraged Zhu Di to vigorously promote education...... It looks like the whole New Deal is in full swing.

The industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty also developed, and overseas shipping routes were also opened.

Next, it's time to quickly embark on the road of great navigation, and from then on sweep the world...... No, it's far from that simple!

What Liu Chun and Zhu Di did could only be regarded as a beginning at most.

Because the next thing is the most difficult, that is, to use the laws of industrial society to retransform the country, and to use industrial thinking to manage the country.

Having factories and workshops definitely does not mean industrialization, and if the mind is still like these old elm pimples, holding on to the defects, then nothing can be done.

Therefore, this imperial trial is almost the cleaning and judgment of the entire agricultural era, the shackles of two thousand years.

It is understandable for Zhu Di to put pressure on Liu Chun, as for Liu Chun, he is also loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and he does not dare to slack off at all.

"Master, here's what I wrote, my opinion on this case."

Yu Qian handed a small notebook to Liu Chun, and the little guy poked his neck and said, "Master, do you think it still makes sense?" ”

Liu Chun took it and looked through it in his hand.

Xiao Qian really deserves to be a prodigy, he emphasized two points, the old man abused his grandson, lost his duty as an ancestor, cut off his grandson's way of progress, cruel means, and no scruples about family affection.

After reading it, Liu Chun just smiled and said: "You have a heart, how about arranging for you to go to the Golden Palace with the emperor and grandson for the teacher?" ”

Yu Qian was shocked, "Master, can the disciple, can you go?" ”

"There's nothing that can't be done, let King Han take you there, mixed in the pile of emperors and grandchildren, you can't see it."

Sure enough, two days later, Zhu Di held a royal trial in front of the Fengtian Palace, and the last grand event in front of the Fengtian Palace was to test the common sense level of the hundred officials.

This time it was a trial of a case that was not too big.

With the sound of bells and drums, the personnel rushed in and entered the designated position.

Civil and military ministers, officials above the seventh rank in Beijing. Including more than 1,000 local governors and counties, as well as thousands of households in the health office, as well as the nobles of the clan, the huge venue was crowded.

The magnitude of this battle is simply jaw-dropping.

Not to mention the trial of a small common man, even if it is a big crime of defrauding the king, it is enough.

On such a big stage, where can a small ordinary person withstand it.

In fact, the person who stood on the opposite side of Liu Chun was Lian Zining!

This is the former leader, in terms of talent and learning, second only to Liuyuan Huangguan in the current dynasty. It was only because of his not-so-glamorous past that he was ostracized.

This time, Lian Zining stood up and defended the old man, which can be regarded as the pinnacle duel of the two minds.

"Lord Liu, the lower officials are just right about things and not people, if there is anything offended, please forgive me."

Liu Chun laughed, "Mr. Lian, I propose that we both take off our hats and use ordinary identities to defend both sides, what does Mr. Lian think?" ”

Lian Zining smiled happily: "That's it, but the lower officials have taken advantage." ”

When they set up a formation, the big guy came to his senses, Your Majesty is going to play for real!

If Liu Chun can't come up with enough rhetoric to refute Lian Zining, it will definitely be a major blow to the new faction. Among these magistrates, many of them were Liu Chun's disciples, and they had been separated from the master for some time.

Some people may ask, where did Liu Chun's subordinates run away during this time, why are there not many Liu Chun's people in the court?

In fact, otherwise, Daming is so big, the difficulty of implementing Juntian is extraordinary, so far, many remote areas have not been completed, and almost all of Liu Chun's disciples have done this.

This time, the entry of the local officials into Beijing was actually equivalent to a gathering of masters and apprentices, and these disciples all stretched their necks to see the master's performance.

Zhu Zhanji, Yu Qian, they also widened their eyes and watched this duel.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lian, my lords, I think that the old man of the Xie family has the first responsibility, which is to make false accusations! According to Xie Laohan's confession, he admitted that when he found his wife fainting, he tested his nose and knew that she was not dead, and in this case, he forced his son to go to Yingtianfu and falsely accuse him of killing his grandmother, which I think is not controversial. ”

Lian Zining was stunned, he received Zhu Di's will, and he also did his homework and scrutinized it repeatedly...... The core of this matter is actually the patriarchal law and the national law, implicating the law and filial piety, this is a dispute that has lasted for thousands of years, Lian Zining didn't think that Liu Chun could have any excellent countermeasures, so he dared to face it.

But as soon as Liu Chun made a move, he hit a stuffy stick, which really surprised Lian Zining, but his strain was also first-class, "Lord Liu, having the intention of killing people and killing each other cannot be treated the same way." In particular, the disobedience and unfilial piety of the descendants is a great crime, which is unforgivable and should be punished severely. ”

Liu Chun smiled and nodded, "Mr. Lian is high-minded, but I want to ask Mr. Coach, how old is Xie Chao this year?" ”

Lian Zining said: "He is just seventeen years old, does Lord Liu want to say that he is less and more important?" ”

"No!"

Liu Chun shook his head and said: "I have a decree in the Ming Dynasty, I will become a Ding at the age of sixteen, and I will be responsible for forced labor, in other words, Xie Chao is an adult, and he is not an ignorant child." Even if parents and elders can discipline their children, can they be regardless of age or situation? ”

"This ...... Filial piety is obedient, even if he is eighty years old, as long as his parents are there, he is still a child, he should be disciplined, and he still needs to be disciplined! Lian Zining said with a straight face.

When Liu Chun heard this, he laughed, "Mr. Lian, my lords, I have a Ming law, which stipulates that the age of sixteen is a ding. That is to say, from the age of sixteen, as an adult, you have to shoulder your own responsibilities. In some places, there are those who are under the age of sixteen who are married and have wives, and by the age of sixteen, many have become fathers. ”

"It's hard to be a father! There are old people to be fed on top, and children to pull out below. The whole family, all the burdens, fell on his shoulders. To tell the truth, I am also an old and a young person, although I don't have to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt, but I always have to work hard for this family. ”

"After anyone becomes a child, he has his own responsibility, which is given by the family and the decree of the imperial court. He wants to be a good father, a good son, and strive to become a qualified citizen of the Ming Dynasty. These things, in the final analysis, are to earn money to support the family, to put it bluntly, that is, to find a job that earns money. ”

"Farming, doing business, studying, and being an official are all choices...... Mr. Lian, do you think going to sea is a way out? ”

Lian Zining prepared a stomach full of common sense theories, what sage truths, Taizu's testament, but Liu Chun was not fooled at all, which made him very embarrassed.

There is really no way to refute the matter of going to sea, Zhu Di has already sealed a sea prince, Zhang Fu is guarding Annan, and they have all successfully gone out.

Who dares to oppose going to sea, won't they be able to get along with Zhu Di?

"Lord Liu, the small people of Shengdou may not understand the big truth, they only feel that the risk of going to sea is too great, so it is understandable that their children and grandchildren are not allowed to go to sea to adventure!"

"Does Mr. Lian also think that the old man may not understand the truth, and the old man may not be right in everything?" Liu Chun said unhurriedly.

Lian Zining was squeezed into a corner, so he could only say helplessly: "Lord Liu, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!" The wisdom of the old man still needs to be heard. ”

"Hahaha! Mr. Lian said to listen, but he did not say that he must be respected, so it can be seen that Mr. Lian also knows that he uses the method of beating and imprisoning to force his children and grandchildren to follow his own opinions, and if he does not obey, he even does not hesitate to kill people, which is very wrong! ”

Lian Zining was silent.

Liu Chun said loudly: "The servant thinks that this case tells everyone that the patriarchal law is unacceptable!" Only the imperial court has the right to arrest and imprison; Second, after a person becomes a child, he has the right to choose his own career, and the elders in the family are not allowed to use violence and coercion! ”

Liu Chun paused, and then said: "Not only this case, in many places, some people who come forward to interfere with young people and punish young people are not fathers or grandfathers, but just some elders who are related to each other. For this phenomenon, it must be strictly prohibited, there is only the law of the Ming Dynasty in the world, and there is no clan family law! ”
