Chapter 872 Lin Su's Law
"She is currently still in Lingyin Temple, protected by Princess Yufeng, no one dares to touch her, but this matter is not a long-term solution after all." Qiu Mochi said.
"Zongzheng's government is holding on...it shouldn't be for the law of the country itself. What small plans do they have?" Lin Su said.
"You are indeed very discerning!" Qiu Mochi explained...
The Zongzheng Mansion is currently challenging His Majesty openly and secretly!
The so-called Zongzheng Mansion represents the interests of the entire royal family, and almost all the princes stand behind them.
The five princes surnamed Ji, Dongwang, Beiwang, Gushanwang, Houyunwang, and Luyangwang, are princes with the blood of Ji's ancestors in their bones, and they are different from kings with different surnames such as Nanwang and Leiwang.
These palaces have been rewarded with a large amount of land for hundreds of years, and they have collected forces from all directions, almost forming their own countries. Ji Shang dared not touch them. After Ji Shang fell, they were not linked, the throne was preserved, and the power was still there.
However, the newly appointed His Majesty did not get used to them.
Wasn't there a tax reform last time?Cancel all privileges, including those of the prince!
As soon as this move was made, the princes quit!
Zong Zhengfu, as their representative, will not do it anymore!
They insist that the law of the ancestors cannot be changed, the law of the ancestors is clear, and the clan does not pay taxes. Now you, a newly appointed emperor, take the knife against your own people first. How is it possible?
The tax law has been promulgated, and Lin Su's previous "shiba" trick has also been launched. The literati group was subdued by one trick, and no longer the main force blocking the tax system, the main force was replaced by the clan.
Although the introduction of the tax law is mandatory, the major palaces are currently opposed collectively. Governments at all levels are unable to do anything in the face of the palace's tens of millions of acres of fertile land. They have become the biggest obstacle to the reform of the tax system.
Of course, the current tax law issued is the law, and they dare not openly rebel, so the Zongzheng Mansion posed a difficult problem for His Majesty: You explain it, and we will explain it. Now that the national law has been fulfilled, let's talk about the tax law!
This is for His Majesty the General!
Li Yangxin shook his head gently: "This is one of the reasons, and there is another reason! Sixteen senior officials of the State Affairs Hall were arrested, and the property left behind is a big piece of fat. These princes are eyeing this fat, they I wish to kill all the nine clans of these people, so that they can get a share of the pie..."
Zhang Haoran shook his head: "Things are not that simple, I suspect they have deeper plans..."
All eyes were on his face...
Zhang Haoran's current official seal is one level higher than theirs, and the higher the official position, the higher level he can get in touch with. What did Zhang Haoran interpret through the incident of the Zongzheng Mansion?
Zhang Haoran said under the eyes of the brothers: "Actually, this is not what I saw. It was said by Qu Wendong Qu Ge. He said that Zongzheng Mansion insisted on killing all nine clans at the same time, and pointed the finger at Lu Youwei and Song Du's wife. The purpose is to tear His Majesty and King Wen apart!"
Everyone was shocked at the same time...
Tear His Majesty and King Wen apart!
Just seven words is an extremely shocking game of chess, no one can ignore it!
They are also considered to be in high positions, and they also know the current situation of Da Cang...
In the situation of the Great Cang, His Majesty and King Wen are two super stars, His Majesty sets the court, Lin Su sets the four realms, one masters the outside and the other masters the inside. When the emperor comes, I have to weigh it...
This is based on the full trust and close cooperation between Lin Su and His Majesty. If there is any disagreement between the two, it will be a catastrophe for Yu Dacang!
So, is there any way to tear their relationship apart?
This is what Zong Zhengfu is doing in front of him!
According to the national law, Lu Youwei must die!
Your Majesty is the natural executor of the national law!
In other words, if His Majesty wants to secure the throne, he needs to execute Lu Youwei and Song Du's wife.
And can Lin Su agree?
Lu Youwei is his woman, can he watch his woman be executed with his own eyes?Song Du's wife is Lin's mother's elder sister. Can he watch his mother's only relative die?
Your Majesty will be in a dilemma, Lin Su will be in a dilemma.
"Brother Zhang said that the stone broke the sky, and it turned the clouds to see the sun. No matter whether you believe it or not, the younger brother believes it!" Qiu Mochi said: "The younger brother has checked the past files of sixteen senior officials of the State Affairs Hall these days, and only then did he know that the imperial court is in charge. How deep is the water, the Zongzheng Mansion and the five princes behind it may really have the intention of resetting the mountains and rivers..."
Even if he is facing the most trusted brother, he still can only comprehend some words. He didn't say "rebellion and chaos", he said "redeem the mountains and rivers"!
But everyone also understands.
The Zongzheng Mansion is a freak, representing the interests of the royal family, and is essentially just a clan representative. However, behind it are the five princes and the various families gathered together because of the five princes.After thousands of years of evolution, these forces have penetrated into all aspects of society, including politics, military, business, spiritual practice, major holy families, and temples...
When Ji Shang was in power, they were very honest, why?Ji Shang gave them enough privileges and enough benefits.
Why do they make trouble?
And when Ji Guang came to power, a tax system reform aimed directly at the privileged class, how could they be happy?It needs to be known that taxation based on land and cancellation of various tax exemption rights will hurt the most people who own the most land. Who owns the most land in the world?The five princes!All major aristocratic families!There are even Buddhist temples and Taoist temples!
Therefore, the reform of the tax system touches the group that should not be touched in the entire Dacang!
It doesn't really matter whether Lu Youwei dies or not today, what matters is the article behind this incident...
They hope to make this article bigger, they hope to tear the relationship between Lin Su and His Majesty, they know that as long as a poisonous thorn is planted between Lin Su and His Majesty, sooner or later, this poisonous thorn will become the starting point of the crack, Pushing these two super giants to the opposite side, when that day comes, Zong Zhengfu and Wang Dawang will have an opportunity to take advantage of it!
Ji Guang has the blood of the former emperor, but he is the king. Who among the five princes does not have the blood of the former emperor?
Huo Qi sighed long and hard: "Even though Elder Quge has seen through the insidiousness of the Zongzheng Mansion, there is nothing we can do. After all, he is holding on to a good move!"
Li Yangxin said: "There may be a method in front of us! Brother Lin might as well listen to it..."
Lin Su raised his eyes and stared at him...
Li Yangxin said: "My little brother knows that Lu Youwei is brother Lin's confidante and our literary friend back then. We definitely can't let her die, but if she doesn't die, His Majesty can't explain it. The only way at present is to let her die." Cut off your hair and become a nun in Lingyin Temple! Once you enter the Buddhist sect, you are no longer a person in the world, so there is no reason for the Zongzheng Mansion to hold on to it, right?"
Zhang Haoran's eyes brightened...
The eyes of all the brothers are also bright...
Wonderful!
Let her enter the empty door!
After entering Buddhism, she is no longer a person of the world, and the laws of the world are no longer applicable. She can escape this disaster, but what about Song Du's regular wife?Do the same!
Huo Qi smiled: "Brother Li's plan is great! Now I'm going to look at Brother Lin, I can't bear to part with Miss Lu's three-foot black hair."
Li Yangxin smiled: "Brother Huo underestimated Brother Lin too much. Is Brother Lin so paranoid? He has long been used to admiring flowers in Lingyin. If there are three feet of green silk, it is a flower. If there is no three feet of blue silk, it is not a flower?"
All the brothers laughed together, and their hearts were united. Today they gathered in Wen Wang's mansion. In fact, saving Lu Youwei is also one of the important issues. Now it seems to be resolved.
However, Lin Su, who was in the center of the crowd, picked up the teacup: "Brothers, I'm deeply grateful that you have worked hard to plan for her and try every means to avoid the national law. But brothers, have you ever thought about whether this national law... is reasonable? ?”
Everyone was shocked...
"National law, the foundation of a country, the ancestors established the law, how can I comment on it at will?" Qiu Mochi hesitated.
Lin Su said: "National law, the foundation of a country is not wrong, but the national law itself can be adjusted and changed. For example, the current tax law, did your ancestors have it? No! But don't you implement it well now? … …So, let’s put aside the psychological inertia of our ancestors to make the law, let’s have a frank and honest discussion, whether the current national law of punishing the nine clans is reasonable or not!”
That's right, the brothers looked at each other. The law of the ancestors has a psychological inertia in the heart of every high-ranking official. When encountering this national law, he would just bypass it without even thinking about it. However, Lin Su's courage is obviously not comparable to that of his brothers. The root of the disease: Is there any rationality in the law itself?
According to him, if the national law itself is unreasonable, he will reform it!
Reform, my God...
It was still Qiu Mochi who took the lead, he was from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and in the field of law, he should speak...
Qiu Mochi said: "Traitors, punishing the nine clans, in my opinion, there is nothing unreasonable in itself, just because the crime of treason, the crime is too great, and the harm to the sky is unparalleled. Non-heavy codes are not enough to deter all parties. Xiaoxiao!"
"Non-heavy codes are not enough to deter!" Lin Su nodded: "Brother Qiu said it is true, but why is it the Nine Clans? Not the Twelve Clans?"
"Twelve clans? Where did the twelve clans come from?" Qiu Mochi was stunned.
"Father has four mothers, three wives and two. In addition to the nine clans, there are also three clans. This person is an old friend in the past, the same year of the palace examination, and a colleague in the officialdom. Wouldn't this be a greater shock? It also shows that non-heavy canons are not enough to intimidate?"
Qiu Mochi was sweating: "Brother Lin, you are killing innocent people indiscriminately!"
Lin Su said: "That's right, I killed innocent people indiscriminately when I punished the twelve clans, but didn't you kill innocent people indiscriminately when you punished the nine clans? Among the nine clans, what is the crime for a three-year-old baby? Some of those ordinary children even have the true face of the patriarch." I've never seen it before, so what's the crime? Lu Youwei has been away from the Lu Mansion for almost three years, what does Lu Tiancong have to do with her for treason? What is her crime? They were punished together, did they kill innocent people indiscriminately? "
Everyone was speechless...
Lin Su glanced at the faces of the brothers: "So, the law of punishing the nine clans is unreasonable! Since the founding of the country for thousands of years, everyone has regarded it as reasonable. Why? Because everyone has zero tolerance for treason, so they subconsciously To loosen the boundaries of punishment, no matter how cruel and absurd the execution is, it will be covered up by the phrase "non-heavy punishments are not enough to deter" and ignore the true meaning of the law!"
"The true meaning of the law... Brother Lin, let's talk about it!" Zhang Haoran's eyes sparkled.
Lin Su said: "What is law? It is also a law that guarantees the norms of behavior! To understand the meaning of law, we must first figure out why legislation is needed? The fundamental purpose of legislation is to regulate the words and deeds of all people, so that people do not make mistakes, and the country Follow the established route smoothly! Instead of punishing for the sake of punishment, punishment is only the result of breaking the law, not the purpose of legislation..."
Therefore, there are three basic principles of punishment...
First, the principle that only those who make mistakes can be punished.Only when you do something wrong can you be punished, innocent people cannot be punished.
Second, the principle of differential punishment.How big a mistake you have made, and how many punishments you have to bear, there must be a process of subdivision and correspondence. You can't just get hit and beheaded at the Meridian Gate. Even if you are accomplices, there must be a distinction between primary and secondary. , the principal offender is given a heavy penalty, while the accessory offender is given a light penalty.
Third, the principle of openness, transparency and reference.In other words, the case you are currently punishing should be of reference significance across the country. When others encounter similar cases, they can directly use your judgment as a standard, and it is not unfair.
After the three principles were finished, everyone looked at each other...
They seem to have glimpsed the true face of the law for the first time, as if they were delighted to hear about the Dao. If it is not a complete blockade at this moment, Lin Su's discourse should be full of flowers again.
However, applying these three principles to the treason of sixteen high-ranking officials seems... seems a bit too light.
God testifies that they are enlightened people, and they have gradually stepped out of the shackles of "the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished". They can accept the reform, and they also accept that the Zhujiu Clan is too harsh, but let them go from one extreme step by step to another extreme , from too harsh to too light, they still find it difficult to adapt...
Zhang Haoran breathed out softly: "Brother Lin's theory of law, to me, is like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun. It should be the true truth. However, it is a serious treason, and it seems that it cannot be used as a deterrent. It will not be able to deter the future governance of the country. I'm afraid it will bury a hidden danger."
Yes, all the brothers agree.
If the crime of treason can finally save the family, will the people behind lose their awe?Will there be more people who will treason in the future?
Lin Su smiled slightly: "Is it light? Not light, is it? Sixteen high-ranking officials, each of whom was a big man who stomped his feet and shook the mountains, died because of a rebellion. They sell their conscience, and there is no problem in stealing his family and property, and their immediate children are not allowed to be officials within three generations, lest they reverse the case or take revenge for the crimes of their parents... Is this light?"
Everyone's hearts moved slightly, but it was true that lightness and weight were related to each other. Compared to the Zhujiu Clan, Lin Su's plan was extremely mild, but compared to them who were prosperous and wealthy in the past, ransacking their homes and beheading them was also extremely serious. .
Lin Su said: "Let's talk about the deterrence you have mentioned many times... The so-called deterrence is mainly aimed at people who want to commit crimes. For those who have no intention of committing crimes, deterrence itself is meaningless. Since it is aimed at these people , It depends on what these people care about the most in their hearts. Do they care about the Nine Races? I don’t say they don’t care at all, but what they care about most is themselves! If they are gone, how many people will care about whether the flood is behind them? So, As long as the principle of punishment for breaking the law is clear and firmly implemented, the deterrent effect will always exist for those who are willing to commit crimes.”
The brothers nodded, yes!
Lin Su took a sip of tea and continued: "Finally, I would like to remind all the brothers that the law of treason and punishment of the nine clans has existed for thousands of years. However, such a harsh clause, why can't it stop the traitors from taking risks again and again? This is precisely too harsh. The aftermath of the law."
Qiu Mochi's heart was beating wildly: "Brother Lin, please advise!"
Lin Sudao: "If one person rebels against the country, nine tribes will die. Then, once one person in the family takes this road, all nine tribes will be bound together. If you rebel, you will die, if you don't rebel, you will die. Since they are all dead, why not just raise them?" The clan is on the line, and there is a chance of survival?"
All the brothers were shocked...
Until this moment, they were really moved by Lin Su...
Because Lin Su pointed out an objectively existing human nature!
In this world, the connections are extremely wide. There are countless intersections among the nine clans. No one knows if a traitor will suddenly appear in the clan. Once a traitor appears, what will the rest of the family do?
They have no way out, they can only take a risk!
The original intention of this national policy is to put an end to treason, but under certain circumstances, it will expand the scope of treason, and bind a whole family because of one person. In a blink of an eye, a small incident becomes a big incident of the whole family treason.
This is the paradox of national policy!
This is the evil result of excessive punishment!
Qiu Mochi said: "300 years ago, because of his son's treason, the Baiyun city lord finally rebelled with his family, and the southwest war raged for seven years; 200 years ago, the injury of Luoyang was also the same case; Eight years ago, the Helan and Li family's changes... were all because one member of the family was treasonous, and the rest had no choice but to take risks!"
Zhang Haoran said: "If Brother Lin's legal theory came out early, and the crime is not as good as innocent, then these cases may have another completely different way to open up, and people in the family who understand the righteousness unite to arrest this person. Wouldn’t the case of treason subside if it started?”
Huo Qi's eyes flickered: "Brother Lin, I think you need to discuss the Dao! You will discuss the law in Wenyuan Pavilion! Your theory is completely in line with the benevolence and righteousness of Confucianism. Maybe once this theory comes out, your days in the temple will be greatly improved. It will be much better.”
As soon as these words came out, all the brothers were quiet...
There is light in everyone's eyes...
Some things are not easy to mention, but each other's hearts are like mirrors. Lin Su followed the way of war and always advocated iron and blood killing, while Confucianism advocated benevolence, righteousness and forgiveness.Therefore, his relationship with Confucianism is getting farther and farther away. If there is a dispute over the Dao in the future in the temple, the biggest possibility will be the dispute between the Dao of War and Confucianism.
This is the biggest and most terrifying sword hanging above Lin Su's head.
Because of Confucianism, control the temple!
But in tonight's discussion of law, Lin Su's views were extremely gentle, full of kindness and forgiveness, which was in line with Confucianism and Taoism!
If he discussed the law in Wenyuan Pavilion, wouldn't he be showing favor to Confucianism indirectly?
Wouldn't the rift between them be repaired silently?
Huo Qineng raised this opinion, in fact, it was the path that all the brothers had been looking for for him...
"Brother Huo's heart, I know it myself, let me think about it before I talk about it..."
A gathering tonight, with ups and downs, communication, emotional collisions, and discussions...
The brothers all dispersed in the dead of night...
Lin Su strolled back to the bedroom, lingering in his heart...
The bedroom door was closed, the girl stepped back, and Zhou Mei's figure appeared: "I personally think that Huo Qi came up with a good idea today, this kid seems to have got the advice of an expert."
"Is this a good idea?" Lin Su asked.
Zhou Mei said: "What's wrong? Although I don't know what the temple looks like, I know that the temple is covered by Confucianism. If you enter the temple with a shit stick, you must collide with them and sparks fly. Regardless of whether you are based on saving your little lover or your mother’s sister tonight, you are not as gentle as you Lin Sanlang. Isn’t this just in line with the essence of Confucianism? Isn’t this a gesture of favor to Confucianism? "
Ha ha……
Lin Su answered her two words in his heart...
Girl, you are still too young, you don't know what Confucianism is!
If they are really so benevolent, why have they turned a blind eye to the laws of Zhu Jiu Clan for thousands of years?
Do you think that when I discuss the law, I am showing favor to Confucianism?
No, that's not how they understand it, they will think that I am challenging the traditional order!To challenge tradition is to challenge them!
In addition, Lin Su's law has a core, that is, violations must be punished, and penalties must be strictly enforced. This is a typical rule of law thought!This is also contrary to the Confucian family rule!
So, the idea of the rule of law should correspond to Legalism, right?The Temple of the Law Palace must like it!
fart!
What they hate the most is true!
The Dharma Palace has laws and regulations and a complete set of Legalist thoughts. If you publish new remarks in their field, what do you call it?Call to fight!
Just like Lin Su's discussion on Taoism and painting that day by Qinglian, it is like digging the grave of the saint's family.
Saving Lu Youwei is a trivial matter, Lin Su has a hundred ways to do it easily, for example, asking her to cut her hair is one of them, once the hair is cut, in the eyes of outsiders, it is a birth, but in the eyes of Lin Su, it is nothing, nothing Can't you flirt with your hair?How is it possible, no hair does not affect the feel...
It is actually not difficult to go beyond the original unreasonable so-called ancestral law. When the power to make rules is in your hands, what can't be done?His Majesty is on his side, and a large number of newly promoted dignitaries are on his side. What is difficult to handle?
It stands to reason that there is no need to reform now!
However, Lin Su also knew that a real law is needed now!
The big Cang is waiting for prosperity, and the big Cang needs a clear sky!
Many young daughters-in-law worship him blindly, thinking that Lin Lang's well-being is the clear sky, but he deeply knows that if a country wants to be truly rich and the people want a clear sky three feet above their heads, he, Lin Su, is not the key, the key is There must be a law!
Let the people have something to rely on, let the people have something to rely on, and let the people's property be seen, touched, and guarded!
Let the people really relax, lean against the big tree, and focus on developing production!
This belief from the heart is the most fundamental source of motivation for everyone to move towards a goal!
Otherwise, living a precarious life and not knowing when a thunderbolt will fall on the top of the head, who can let go of their hands and feet to chase the progress of happiness?
While he was thinking, Zhou Mei was sitting on the table, her legs were still dangling: "Why do I think you are in trouble? Otherwise, you should just let it go. I will go to Lu Youwei now and ask her to cut her hair As far as I know about you, whether a woman has hair or not doesn't affect you at all. After explaining this principle, I think she will be happy to escape into the empty door... "
Lin Su glanced at her: "What's the hurry!"
"It's not in a hurry. The key is that the night is long. What should I do if I don't go to Lingyin Temple? Go to bed directly?"
sleep?Lin Su raised his eyes and looked at her...
Zhou Mei caught his gaze and seemed to be suddenly alert: "Oh my God, did I stir up your thoughts? Don't get me wrong. The sleep I said is a normal sleep. A people sleep..."
Lin Su smiled: "What's the point of sleeping alone? It's fun to have some activities!"
Zhou Mei blushed. She had never panicked before. She panicked.
Lin Su's lips moved closer slowly, Zhou Mei's eyes turned wildly, and a flower with a colorful frame opened in her heart...
finally come!
He finally did it!
To engage in "activities"...
It's not good, is it?I'm still a girl with yellow flowers, and my father is still the prime minister. If you come up and want to engage in activities, who can bear it?You should do something like a prelude first, like singing a song with me in your arms...
I have to run, it would be ridiculous not to run!
But, why are my legs a little out of control...
Lin Su's lips moved closer to her ears, and said a long sentence...
Zhou Mei's frantic mind suddenly became quiet... (End of this chapter)
