"The law represents the will of the ruling class as a whole and is the guarantee for the operation and effectiveness of the rules of society. Every nation, every form of government, has its own unique laws. ”

"In the case of our kingdom of Doguland, the embodiment of the law is the Code of Dogourand, a programmatic document compiled by King Dogurand I, which lays down the fundamental system of the kingdom and lays down the basic norms of civil behavior, and all other areas of law derived from it are based on the Code of Dogurland, so it can also be called the fundamental law of the kingdom."

An order from Perseus at the New Year's feast directly opened the prelude to the matter of the crown prince. Of course, for the three candidates, life goes on in addition to political strife.

In addition to dealing with the troubles caused by the crown prince's affairs, Solandelle, who is still an underage, still has to continue her studies at Laurel Academy.

At this time, the Minister of Law and University Scholar Yuanwen Doguland was giving a lecture to the students about the law, and because it was a big lesson, the noble protégés and the children of the poor families in the academy were sitting in the audience.

Yuan Wen didn't have a book in his hand, and he was obviously familiar with the content of the lecture, and said slowly: "The law is the guarantee of the operation of the kingdom, some of you here are nobles, some are from a poor family, no matter what your background is, remember not to violate the law, otherwise you will be punished." ”

Solandale finished taking notes and raised her hand.

Yuan Wen: "Solandelle, what's the problem?" ”

Solandale stood up and asked seriously: "Teacher, you just said that no one should break the law, then I have a question, if some laws are inherently unreasonable, and they are outright 'evil laws', do we still have the obligation to obey them?" ”

As soon as this question was raised, it immediately caused the students to whisper, and Yuan Wen also looked at Solandale with an interested gaze: "This classmate threw out a very interesting question, everyone thinks about it first, and then talks about their own thoughts." ”

In the midst of the discussion, an aristocratic student took the lead in standing up: "I think that no matter whether it is a bad law or a good law, as long as it is a clearly recorded law, citizens have the obligation to abide by it unconditionally. ”

A poor student hesitated for a moment, then got up and retorted: "I don't quite agree with this classmate's concept, the law should protect the rights and interests of citizens, if the law itself destroys this rights and interests, it is a 'bad law', then it violates the most basic principles of the law and should not be obeyed." ”

The aristocratic student snorted and said in a reprimanding tone: "If everyone thinks like you, and says that if you don't obey it, you won't obey it, what is the majesty of the code?" Where is the executive power of the ruling class? Today you say that this is an evil law, and tomorrow I say that it is an evil law, then the whole kingdom will not be in chaos?! ”

Compared with the aristocratic students from well-to-do families, these poor children who are sponsored to go to school have a natural self-preparation in their bones, and they will be shorter in momentum on any occasion.

While the other party was cringinge, the aristocratic student continued his conceptual output: "And Her Royal Highness the princess has this question"

Yuan Wen suddenly straightened his face and knocked on the table with a ring ruler: "This is the classroom!" There are only classmates, there is no 'Your Highness'! ”

The aristocratic student was disrupted, stabilized his mind and sorted out his thoughts, and then continued: "Solandelle, I don't think this question makes sense. ”

"The code has been revised from generation to generation, and it can be said that it is very perfect, and it can be called a perfect law.

The poor students finally couldn't help it, and they all muttered: "I don't agree with this point of view, there is no perfect law in the world, no matter how good the legal system is, there will be evil laws, and there will be exploitation if there are evil laws, which is impossible to avoid." ”

The aristocratic students scoffed: "Exploitation? I'm also a citizen of Doguland, how come I don't feel exploited? ”

Yuan Wen raised his hand, stopped the students' discussion, and took over the topic: "There is actually no right or wrong in the issues you are discussing, but everyone looks at the problem from different angles. ”

"Some people advocate that evil laws should be lawful, because only in this way can the majesty of the law be guaranteed and social order maintained."

"There are also people who advocate that bad laws are illegal, and feel that bad laws are not reasonable, and everyone should only follow good laws."

"My point of view is that the boundary between bad law and good law is difficult to define, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between them."

"Our history has also given many answers, and many 'evil laws' that were not welcomed at the time and were called by people have demonstrated their advanced nature after a long period of practice, in a few years, decades, or even hundreds of years."

"Of course, there are counter-examples, and many of the Torah entries were designed to be advantageous, but when they look back many years later, they find that they are infinitely harmful."

"The law is not static, but will be updated and perfected with the times. The only way to perfect the law is to put it into practice. And in order to put it into practice, the majesty of the law must be maintained. If everybody can question the law and say that if they don't obey it, they won't obey it, then they won't even be able to put it into practice. ”

"The same is true of the controversy between evil law and good law, the key is not 'evil' or 'good', but 'law', and only practice under this premise can be the standard for testing the truth."

Yuan Wen explained very thoroughly, and also showed tendencies to a certain extent, and the aristocratic student glanced triumphantly at the poor student after hearing this, and the latter could only keep his head down and not speak.

"What about those who died as a result?" Solandale suddenly spoke up, her eyes were very deep, and she asked faintly, "If the evil law should be obeyed unconditionally, and it can only be denied for a long time, who will pay justice to those who died because of the evil law in the process?" ”

Yuan was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally let out a long sigh and said meaningfully: "Solandelle, you need to understand that we are all mortals, not gods. We can't even predict what will happen tomorrow, and no one can glimpse what will happen years from now. ”

"Where there are people, there must be mistakes, and mistakes are always accompanied by sacrifice. It may be cruel to say this, the development of history is a history of blood and tears, and sacrifice is impossible to avoid. ”

"The difference is that saints sacrifice themselves, mortals sacrifice others."

The students couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and the class was silent.

At this time, the school bell rang, and the sound of birds surrounded the classroom.

Yuan Wen looked at the restless students and said slowly: "The question we discussed today is very meaningful, and the class assignment assigned to you is to write a reflection on this. ”

"You can talk freely about what you think is unreasonable about the current legal system, how it should be improved, and what kind of results will be achieved in the end. Show it to me before the next law class, okay, class. ”
