Chapter 117: The Covenant of the Nation is Menacing (End)
Six days is enough time for Chengzi to get the charges that the ink maker wants from the mouths of those captured witches.
Ji Chengzi admires Zheng Zichan and is skillful in Zhang Chi's skills.
The three witches who participated in the collection of wealth, **, and living sacrifices confessed all their crimes in exchange for their own immortality and the rest of their labor.
It's good to be alive.
Of course, there were officials from the local wealthy clans of Peiyi who participated, and they persuaded the angry people as much as possible, just saying that righteousness could not be impossible, but it could be late.
Therefore, when these three people were brought to the stage, they only told themselves what the witches had done in front of everyone, which attracted the wrath of the people.
The parents of the sacrificed daughters had used this time to tell their suffering, and the people's hearts had long since turned to these people, and their pity turned to anger, and even more so to rage.
People were constantly being brought to the stage, cursed, and thrown with stones or clods of earth.
The Wu Zhu on the stage had pale faces, and there were sword-wielding ink men watching them, and they knew the crimes they had committed, and they were dejected, and they even laughed to show that they were not afraid of death.
It wasn't until the first woman who was dressed in filial piety, extremely pretty, and the first to ask Teng Shuyu for revenge was pulled to the stage that the situation changed.
According to the name of this woman at this time, it should be called Zhu Widow Fei.
Her husband who was poisoned was considered to be after Zhu Huai, and the woman's name was Fei, and it was not a prince or nobleman who needed to call the woman by rank, so she could be called so.
The word widow has been around for a long time.
In "Xiaoya, Datian", it was sung: He has a legacy, and this has a stagnation: the benefits of a widow.
After Qin Debashu, there was a mineral tyrant and widow Qing who could compete with the king of Qin, all of them were called in the same way.
I wish the widow Fei has seen the world after all, if you look at it at this time, it is not considered whether the behavior is righteous, and the temperament alone can be regarded as a temporary heroine.
Since the defeat of the blood revenge six days ago, she knew that the matter was irreparable, and these ink men killed people without blinking, and would never let them go.
But six days ago, when the Moshi began to make an appointment with the people, Zhu Widow Fei did not look dead like the rest of the witches, but chose another way to listen quietly.
When she was brought to the stage by the ink man, she neither cried in fright like those witches before her, nor did she yell that she would never dare again.
Without waiting for the ink to ask first, Zhu Widow Fei asked first: "Mo man, even if we are guilty, how can you punish us?" ”
"The day before yesterday you also said, "Sin and prohibition." There is no offense, even if it is harmful. ”
"It is forbidden before sin, and there is no sin if there is no forbidden. You didn't make an agreement with the people before, and the things we Wuzhu did were before the covenant, so why can you use the law at this time to condemn us in the past? ”
"Reasonably, perhaps those who preside over deserve to die. But by the law of which you speak, we do not deserve to die and are not guilty! This is what you said with your own mouths, and the sin is forbidden. We did it first, and then we had the law. ”
Zhu Widow Fei said, with a resolute face, not afraid of the inkman with a sword beside her, and said loudly: "We are harmful, but we are not guilty." ”
Cheng Chengzi was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, after all, he belonged to the Moshi academic group, not a professional rebel like this.
The habitual speculative debate within Mozi, coupled with the logical connection between sin, law, and harm that Mozi has always upheld, made Cheng Zi feel for a moment that Zhu Widow Fei's words actually made some sense.
The prominent people of the village community who were elected to the front row by the various village communities did not like this kind of debate very much, and shouted: "You deserve to die!" ”
The parents, who had lost their daughters in the previous years of sacrifice, cried: "If you don't die, will our daughter die in vain?" ”
Zhu Widow Fei listened to these gnashing hatreds, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she stared at Ji Chengzi who was standing beside her and said, "Listen, their daughter will not die in vain. But in doing so, what is the difference between you and the blood revenge we have done before? If you want to rule by law, we will be not guilty. ”
She knew that no one on her side would be spared today, so she wanted to take revenge in her own way.
It's not about killing people, it's about letting the Mo's edicts be violated at the beginning of their birth.
She felt that it was quicker than raising her son to get revenge. Moreover...... There are too many ink warriors, even if he raises his son and searches for famous teachers all over the world, he may not be able to slaughter the ink warrior by himself.
Imitated into a speech, there was a bend in his head that did not turn around.
The ink man did righteousness, and he used to kill people.
But now that the government has been established, can the reason for doing righteousness still kill people?
If the widow is killed today for the sake of righteousness, is it not possible to prohibit the descendants of those who were killed by the Mo for doing righteousness to take revenge?
The more you know, the more complex your thoughts become.
Shi glanced at Widow Fei with appreciation, and said in his heart that this woman is extremely beautiful, and has such a mind, if not, with a little adjustment, it is really a wonderful person, but it is a pity.
He had already thought of the rhetoric in his heart, and was about to stand up to refute it, but he didn't want Mozi to shake his head at Shi Wei and ask Shi not to come forward.
Mozi stood up, looked at Zhu Widow Fei, who was still complaining about his harm but was not guilty, and said with a smile: "It is not Peiyi Wanmin Law who killed you today, but only Mo. ”
"All things after the establishment of the government shall be governed by the laws of the people. Before the establishment of the government and before the establishment of the government, we have our own principles of righteousness. ”
"Those who should be punished, those who harm the world will be punished, and there is no covenant of all the people outside Peiyi, so will we not be righteous?"
This is not only for the Widow Fei, but also for those who are a little contradictory and confused in view of the changes after the establishment of the government and the conclusion of the law of the people.
"The will of heaven and the will of the public are in harmony, and the will of the public is there, but it is not written outside of Peiyi, that's all. Within Peiyi, the law of all civil laws is enforced. In addition to Peiyi, the ink man still has to be in line with the will of heaven. Punishing injustice and stopping non-aggression does not require the authorization of the people, only the will of heaven shall prevail. ”
"In the future, if there is a covenant law in the world, then the law prevails in all covenants."
All the ink scholars said together, and the knot that some people hesitated slightly in their hearts was also untied, and their hearts said that this is indeed the case, and the Tianzhi outside Peiyi still exists, and it is also in line with everyone's wishes, but there has never been a chance for all the people to gather together today.
The benefit of all the people is extremely heavenly, and the covenant is in line with the will of heaven, but it does not mean that the will of heaven did not exist before the covenant. After all, the Mohist believes that human beings are rational and can deduce what the rules of heaven are, just as right and wrong predate written law.
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Widow Fei sneered: "You also bully and bully us." Those princes and nobles who harm the world, why don't you dare to punish them? ”
As soon as he said this, not only Mozi laughed, but many ink artists around him also laughed aloud.
Zhu Widow Fei didn't know what these ink people were laughing at, and she didn't want Mozi to laugh and shout the names of the four people loudly.
These four ink masters Shi Shiran walked to the stage, and Mozi smiled: "These four people have done great things, and now some people laugh at us ink masters and dare not punish them, this matter involves the name of my ink master, I am afraid that it is just today to talk about it." ”
The ink man with a dark face and who has been bowing his head on weekdays said indifferently: "The king of Qi Rao'an, he likes to shoot and hunt with wild people in the mountains and forests, and the people suffer from it. I will punish him with a sharp sword, so as to benefit the world. Although his son hated me, he looked for me everywhere, but he did not dare to do it again after all. ”
A person next to him also smiled lightly: "Nine years ago, Yue Zhu Gou destroyed Tan, kidnapped his people as slaves, and killed those who did not follow." His gentlemen's army took the opportunity to plunder, I killed the five gentlemen, and wanted to assassinate Zhu Gou, but it didn't work out and fled. If you don't want to be punished, you can't be punished if you don't have enough strength. ”
The other two also talked about the good things they had done, and Mozi meant not only to Zhu Widow Fei, but also to the people in the audience.
He laughed loudly and said: "If it is not in line with the will of heaven, the son of heaven can also be changed, we all dare to say that we choose the son of heaven, do we still care about the princes and nobles to be crowned kings?" If you don't punish today, you can't do it, and in the future, you will have a sword about the world, and you won't be punished! ”
"The law respects the law and the place outside the law...... Heaven comes first! ”
Everyone in the audience had only seen the ink man doing righteousness, and they didn't know much about what the ink man had done before, but now when they heard this, they knew that these ink masters had done many great things.
Words such as punishing injustice and choosing the Son of Heaven are often said by ink scholars. Most academic groups other than Mozhi also think that this kind of thing is not a big deal, and even some schools of Confucianism have such thoughts, which is the mainstream of academic groups in the world at this time.
The key is that the mouth cannon is useless, and it needs to be carried out by strength.
Now to kill these people, it is not the law of the people of Peiyi at all, but the righteous will upheld by the ink practitioners, because what these people did was before the law was formed.
In Mozi's view, the definitions of law, crime, harm, and prohibition are only for places where laws exist, and where laws do not exist, justice is still needed.
These definitions were a kind of desire and basis for the artisans and the new landowning class to establish a written law. At this time, the Song Kingdom had no written law except for Peiyi.
At this time, there were only three countries in the world where there was written law.
In the Three Jin Dynasty, Li Kui has the Law Scripture, and there is Fan Xuanzi and Zhao Jianzi's criminal tripod.
Zheng Guo, there is a written law made by children.
There is also Deng Xi, the first litigator in the Spring and Autumn Period with exquisite means: he compiled a set of criminal laws by himself, wrote them on bamboo slips, and then spread them everywhere, collected apprentices everywhere, and helped people fight lawsuits, which was widely circulated and popularized. In the end, he made up this set of laws representing the interests of emerging craftsmen and landlords to replace Zheng Guo's original laws from the bottom up, and finally although he was killed by Zheng Guo's ruling Ji Sipan, the bamboo punishment was widely spread and had become a monstrous trend, and finally Zheng Guo had to use his bamboo punishment as Zheng Guo's law.
The third place is Peiyi at this time, and Peiyi's method of formation is similar to what Deng Xi did, which is to fill the vacuum from the bottom up, form habits, and eventually replace the original secret law and aristocratic law.
The definitions and legal habits of Mozi can be used within Mozi to maintain the unity of righteousness and action.
It can be used as a guiding ideology for the formulation of laws and the investigation of criminal responsibility in various countries, and can be used to formulate laws that are in line with the new era of change.
But it is impossible to use it pedanticly in places that have not yet been established and outside of the pioneer group of Moshi.
Now that he had made the truth clear and dispelled the momentary doubts of the ink man, he no longer wanted to talk to the widow Fei Fei, and waved his hand at Shi and let Shi move forward.
"Written by the secretary of the Ink Scholar, the secretary of the Ink Scholar, the Secretary of the Ink Scholar, with the permission of the Ink Scholar, the Giant, the Seven Enlightenments Harm Five People and the Two Missing, and the Evil Blessing Matter for the Purpose of Harming the World."
"People who are outside the law have their own ink constraints for doing righteousness. The things within the law and the people within the law are bound by the law. The ink person in this matter is not an intermediary who exercises the power and responsibility of the Pei County government, but only an ink person. The consequences, revenge, criticism, and hatred of this matter are all the responsibility of the Mo people. ”
