History has its inevitability and its contingencies.

The words of Liang Cheng and Liang Zhongzhi in the Shengshihua Building sparked a dispute over Confucianism and law, and quickly showed a spark of fire.

In this case, there is both inevitability and contingency.

The judicial reform that Qin Mu vigorously promoted not only touched the vital interests of many officials, but also raised the status of "law" day by day, and there was a tendency to override it.

China has respected Confucianism for nearly 2,000 years, and it is strange that this move does not arouse the vigilance of Confucian disciples, and this is the necessity.

As for chance, it means that it was not caused by anyone's deliberate efforts, but by a group of scholars' small talk.

In any case, the powder keg was detonated, and the dispute between Confucianism and law quickly spread throughout Great Qin, especially because of the telegraph, the spread of information was rapid and everyday.

And the tide is going on up and down, with most local officials participating. In fact, those local officials who have been deprived of judicial power are the biggest "victims" of this judicial reform, and it is not surprising that they do not take advantage of the situation to push up this trend of Confucianism.

There are so many officials in various places, and with their promotion, this is no longer a spark, but a flame.

Qin Mu finally realized Zhu Yuanzhang's hardship, what kind of way did the old Zhu Chuang come up with, restrict the free movement of the people, and confine the people of the whole country to one acre and three points of land, if there was no telegram, if he was like Zhu Yuanzhang, he detained the people of the world within ten miles and eight towns, this trend would not have spread so fast and so fiercely.

Seeing that the annual vacation is about to begin, and it is still so unrelievable, the scholars knock on the book regardless of life and death, and the recitals of officials from all over the country fly like snowflakes.

Inside the Pujia Palace, Qin Mu was almost overwhelmed by the mountains of music. With a terrible headache, he rubbed his forehead with his hands.

It was Li Xiangjun who came to serve Mo on this day, and when he saw him like this, he couldn't help but say distressedly: "Your Majesty, why don't you go back to the apse and lie down and rest for a while, and when Your Majesty has enough spirits, maybe you can naturally come up with a way to deal with it." ”

"Xiangjun, don't mention anything to me, the whole country, the whole country, this time the whole country. They all seem to be on the opposite side of me. ”

"Even though everyone is on the opposite side of His Majesty, the slave still stands with His Majesty." The petite and weak Li Xiangjun said without thinking.

After hearing this, Qin Mu couldn't help but hug her and said, "I know, I know everything." "He is still very calm on the surface, but he unconsciously uses my self-title, and no longer uses me, from these small changes, Li Xiangjun can feel the change in his feelings.

She put her arms around his neck and said tenderly, "Your Majesty." You are tired, rest and rest first, slaves accompany your majesty, guard your majesty"

Qin Mu didn't say anything more. Returning to the apse, lying down on the warm bed, and letting himself relax as much as possible, he hugged Li Xiangjun. The beautiful woman of the country and the fragrance of the country was in his arms, but he didn't have a trace of lust, just hugged her and lay quietly. He was really tired, his heart was tired.

Judicial reform is the core of all his reforms, for which he almost exhausted his efforts, but he did not expect that this bone node would attract the opposition of the whole country.

Originally, the controversy over Shengshi Hualou would not have caused such a big trend for a while, but as soon as the news of the judicial college organized by Yang Shen from Dali Temple came out, it suddenly added fuel to the fire, and the shape was out of control.

When he first ran the College of Engineering, he personally presided over the opening ceremony, which was of a high standard that was incomparable to that of the School of Justice, and no one objected at that time. Now that the shadow of the judicial academy has not yet been seen, it is just a rumor, why has it caused such a big wave of opposition?

Qin Mu lay on the bed to study the reason, and felt that the original Institute of Science and Technology did not cause much opposition, probably because the people of the world also consciously classified "science and engineering" as a group of strange skills, and felt that this engineering was a dou that could not be supported, and no matter how much the emperor made a big move, it was impossible for engineering to threaten the status of Confucianism.

However, Legalism is different, the pre-Qin Dynasty ruled the country with Legalism, and Legalism was one of the hundred schools of thought with Confucianism during the Qin, Autumn and Warring States Periods.

More importantly, since the Han Dynasty, although the world has respected Confucianism, in fact, there have never been Legalists, and it can even be said that in many critical periods, the role of Legalism is better than that of Confucianism.

In fact, the world's readers know this.

In the hundred schools of thought, after careful calculation, only Legalism and Taoism are really capable of threatening the status of Confucianism, and Confucianism regards Legalism as a fierce rival, so it is naturally the most vigilant against it.

In the past, whether it was the establishment of a medical school, a foreign language college, or a polytechnic college, no one felt threatened, but reacted coldly.

Now it is necessary to establish a judicial college, but this is unfortunate, the Legalists have already posed a huge threat to Confucianism, if the Legalists are allowed to run the academy openly, and still train officials for the imperial court;

In the future, students who come out of the judicial academy will have a greater chance of becoming officials than Confucian disciples who pass the imperial examination, and after becoming officials, they will enter the judicial system and be able to supervise and restrain the Confucian administrative system.

After such calculations, it is difficult to say who is "respected" between this law and Confucianism.

Therefore, as soon as the news of the establishment of the judicial academy came out, it immediately poured oil on the flames, and finally detonated a wave of opposition from the whole country.

Thinking about the mountains of concerts on the imperial case, and then thinking about tomorrow's Chang Dynasty, I'm afraid it will also be an entangled loud denunciation, Qin Mu feels tired, really tired.

There are times when the emperor is powerless, and at this time, you can't raise the butcher's knife, if you do that, the country will be really in chaos.

This situation was something Qin Mu did not expect before, and he previously believed that the judicial nature was a purely legal issue, not a political issue.

Well, now that people don't say that this is a political issue, but that it is a major issue that challenges the Confucian supremacy, which can be much more serious about the political issue.

Not in his position, not in his politics. Sure enough, it's a political problem, and many readers are too lazy to care. But if you challenge Confucianism, you will challenge the bottom line of all scholars.

Li Xiangjun listened to his heartbeat, although he closed his eyes, Li Xiangjun could hear the ups and downs of his heart from his heartbeat, she hugged her gently, and murmured: "Your Majesty, don't think about it anymore, Your Majesty is not alone, there are also the people of the world, Your Majesty and slaves, Your Majesty is for the long-term peace and stability of the country, and for the people of the world to seek happiness, slaves believe that the people of the world know Your Majesty's good intentions." ”

Qin Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xiangjun, don't forget, the right to speak in this world is actually not in my hands, but in the hands of readers, what they say, how the people believe, I'm afraid that I don't know how many people are scolding me for being a faint king." ”

"No, no, Your Majesty has paid countless efforts for the people of this world, implemented so many good governance, and benefited the world, how can the people be so ungrateful."

"It's not ungrateful, but in terms of judicial reform, ordinary people have no right to speak, even if they are willing to see judicial reform, they can't form a voice in support of me, the people's hearts are like water, and they are most likely to be influenced by people who love to read."

"No, no, Majesty, the slave doesn't mean ouch, the slave means, the Majesty is not lonely, the reader can influence the people's opinions, why can't I? Your Majesty, in the minds of the people of the world, you are comparable to the saint of Shunyao, and your words have an incomparable appeal among the people.

In addition to the people, His Majesty also has the army, His Majesty is the founding king, who has fought on the battlefield for many years, shared weal and woe with the soldiers, is invincible, and his majesty's prestige in the army is also unmatched.

By the way, there are also meritorious heroes, giant businessmen and wealthy families, these people are not grateful to His Majesty, who is not grateful? Have you forgotten the energy of Xu Yongshun? Their business practices can be spread all over the country.

Judicial reform is beneficial to them, what Confucian legalists, they don't care about these either, your majesty, think about it, there are soldiers, there are people, there are wealth, how much does your majesty have? 陛xià, also slave slave, slave slave also stands with majesty xià"

Li Xiangjun's last sentence was coquettish, deliberately making Qin Mu happy, she really did it, Qin Mu listened to her words, and felt a little suddenly enlightened, laughing, hugging her and kissing her deeply.
