Chapter 359

"How about it?"

Xu Zhiqian, who had been worrying outside, saw Zhang Fei coming out, and rushed forward to meet him.

Seeing her so worried, Zhang Fei really felt guilty. In fact, he was ready, but he couldn't say it because he had no reason to say it. He gently embraced Xu Zhiqian's fragrant shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everything It all went well."

"really?"

Xu Zhiqian said happily.

Zhang Fei nodded.

Xu Zhiqian asked curiously again: "Then how did you do it?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I'll flatter them."

"what?"

Xu Zhiqian was taken aback for a moment, "Plaguing?"

Zhang Fei nodded: "That's right! The emperor is sage, the scholar Wang is capable, and the scholar Sima is concerned about the people. I'll say it for the better, why are they still targeting me, and I'm not ugly."

Xu Zhiqian blinked and asked, "Then what about your legal system?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I just use my legal system to flatter them, so they all think my legal system is good."

Xu Zhiqian's expression changed, and she said excitedly, "How could you do this?"

Zhang Fei was surprised and said, "Did I do something wrong?"

Xu Zhiqian said angrily: "Isn't your legal system to protect the legitimate rights and interests of individuals? It's really unreasonable for you to flatter everyone with their legitimate rights and interests."

Is that the case?Zhang Fei himself was stunned, and hurriedly said: "You don't understand the law at all."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Why don't I understand."

Zhang Fei asked: "According to the concept of the rule of law, can officials defend their legitimate rights and interests? Is it possible for a bachelor Wang? Is it possible for a bachelor Sima? Are ministers not human?"

Xu Zhiqian thought for a while and said, "Do they still need legal defense?"

Zhang Fei said: "If you can't defend their legitimate rights and interests, how can you defend the common people?"

Xu Zhiqian was almost dizzy, she shook her head and said, "No, I'm not referring to this matter, I mean they don't need it!"

Zhang Fei shook his head stubbornly: "No, they must be needed."

"what are you talking about?"

"I do not know either."

"what?"

"I said Zhiqian!"

Zhang Fei excitedly said: "I just want to cope with this class so that I can come out alive, but you still want to tell me the truth, it's really hard for me."

Xu Zhiqian thought about it, and thought it was right. The requirements were a little too high. Establishing a sect is more difficult than becoming a prime minister. She smiled apologetically and said, "That's right, as long as it goes well."

Zhang Fei hehe said: "Very well."

Having said that, it was indeed very smooth!

Successfully made those old masters seem to be living in a dream.

who am I?

where am I?

what am i doing?

After class, those old masters all looked dazed, they came to quarrel with Zhang Fei, but in the end they didn't say a word.

Why is this happening?

Did you really come to listen to the lecture?

Have we all gotten to this point?

Wen Yanbo also had a similar confusion about this, and he was ready to have a debate with Zhang Fei today, because in class, Zhang Fei said that he could not punish a scholar-bureaucrat, which made him very embarrassed, literati, of course he also wanted to find Back to the scene, but he didn't say a word, and listened carefully.

This is outrageous!

After leaving the classroom, he whispered to Fu Bi: "This class is much more peaceful than I imagined!"

There are many people, but there is no bullshit.

Fu Bi glanced at Wen Yanbo, his heart was like a mirror, he laughed and said: "That kid is very smooth, of course you have nothing to say."

Wen Yanbo asked suspiciously, "How did Mr. Fu say that?"

Fu Bi said: "First of all, he affirmed the correctness of the official reform. Second, he affirmed the correctness of Wang Jiefu's reform. Finally, he affirmed the correctness of opposing the new law. What else can you say?"

Wen Yanbo stroked his beard, and after thinking about it, he found that it was really the case, and he couldn't help wondering: "How did he do it?"

It's all right if the official reform is correct.

How is it possible to affirm innovation and conservatism at the same time?

"For the country and the people."

Fu Bi laughed and said, "He first puts selflessness on everyone's head, which makes it difficult for everyone to express their selfishness!"

Only then did Wen Yanbo realize that, in fact, no matter how much selfishness is hidden in the dispute between the two factions, on the surface everyone is holding high the banner of serving the country and the people, and the legal system just blocked their mouths. He couldn't help laughing and scolding: "This stinking kid."

At this time, an eunuch came, "Fu Gong, Wen Gong, the official invites you to go to the palace to discuss matters."

Fu Bi's expression changed, and he nodded solemnly.

After they left, the students hurriedly gathered in front of the board.

"I think what the teacher said is right. It seems that it is really feasible to do so. Wang Xueshi said that the people do not add taxes and the country uses them. It means that the new law does not compete with the people, but many people don't believe it. They think it is against the people. Striving for profit, the law of the rule of law is to defend the legitimate rights and interests of individuals, and using the law of the rule of law can solve this problem well?"

"No, no, no."

"What's wrong?"

"When we were discussing the method of equalization, the point was not to suppress those profiteers, but to believe that today we can take profits from businessmen, and tomorrow we can take profits from you and me. So. Is this legal system suitable for profiteers?"

"Of course it applies, profiteers are also one of the four peoples."

"If the law of the rule of law is the first, it is wrong to lose the law, and profiteers can also defend their legitimate rights and interests."

"No, no, profiteers' interests are not legitimate rights and interests."

"Why not? They didn't break the law."

"But against morality."

"Is this righteousness based on virtue or the law?"

"The teacher is still right. If we really do this, we really can't solve a single problem."

Originally everyone's thinking was cleared by Zhang Fei, but this discussion became very confused again.

It feels like this class is wasted again.

Although everyone came here to quarrel, judging from the actual situation, everyone was listening to the class seriously.

Since everyone is so serious, we have to discuss it!

Crucially, this lesson offers progressive conservatives a moderating solution.

Naturally, Zhao Xu would not let go of this opportunity. As a monarch, he still hoped for balance instead of dominance, so he invited these prime ministers to the palace.

"What do you guys think?"

Zhao Xu asked.

Fu Bi nodded and said: "This class is not bad. It explained clearly the problems left over from the class, and proved that Zhang San was not playing tricks in the class."

Lu Gongzhu, Sima Guang, and Wen Yanbo couldn't help looking at Fu Bi.

Have it?

They were still immersed in Zhang Fei's thinking on solving the problem.

Only Wang Anshi nodded.

Zhao Xu also asked in confusion: "What do you think Fu Gong said?"

Fu Bidao: "I was confused in the last class, what is the law of the legal system, why the law of the Legalists should be taken as a warning, why the law of the Confucianism is better than the law of the Legalists, and what is the relationship between the three."

Wang Anshi said: "In fact, the answer to these questions is the same, that is the law of the rule of law."

"What Jiefu said is right." Fu Bi smiled and nodded.

Zhao Xu was puzzled and said, "That's not right! Zhang San said that the law of Legalism should be taken as a warning. The reason is that it is irreversible, not the law of the legal system."

Fu Bi said: "This is just a cover-up, the officials still remember his final explanation."

Zhao Xu nodded.

Fu Bi said: "However, if the legalist law is substituted into it, it is not difficult to find that his explanation is actually untenable. Because the legalist law is for the interests of the monarch and the country, and the people are not here. Among them, this is also the reason why the Legalists died.

And the law of the legal system is to defend the legitimate rights and interests of individuals. From this point of view, it is impossible to have the law of the legal system in the Legalists, so he must deny the laws of the Legalists. "

Wang Anshi added: "Confucian law puts benevolent government first, and benevolent government means that the monarch treats the people benevolently. When combined, it means serving the country and the people. Only when the concept of governing the country has the idea of ​​​​serving the people can the law of the rule of law exist."

Having said that, he snorted: "That kid thinks that Confucianism is better than Legalism. The reason is that Confucianism can coexist with legalism, but Legalism cannot. In fact, he They are still praising his rule of law."

Fu Bi nodded, and said: "The law of the legal system is to defend the legitimate rights and interests of individuals, but this simple sentence can explain the pros and cons of a hundred schools of thought. Only one thought can do this. This is actually a kind of Fresh thinking."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

What is the law of the rule of law?

The relationship between the law of Legalism, the law of Confucianism, and the law of legal system.

Why deny the legalist law?

Who should come first?

These are all problems left over from the last class.

Although Zhang Fei did not explain each of these issues in this class, they actually explained everything clearly.

Zhao Xu asked: "If this method is followed, can the country's bad governance be solved?"

"Can't!"

Wang Anshi replied decisively.

"Why?"

Zhao Xu was taken aback for a moment: "What Zhang San said seems to make a lot of sense."

Wang Anshi said: "Dare to ask the officials, what are legitimate rights and interests?"

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment.

This question hits the nail on the head.

Wang Anshi also said: "Government of benevolence is the lenient benevolence of the monarch to the people. It is based on Confucianism, and it depends on the choice of the monarch. The law of the rule of law is the defense of the people's own interests. If this law is respected, the people may not even pay taxes. unwilling.

Unless the legitimate rights and interests can be explained clearly and clearly, otherwise, using this method to explain it will inevitably cause chaos in the world.

In fact, Zhang San himself knew it well, so he finally said that if this method is followed, not a single problem can be solved.Although in theory, it sounds feasible. "

Fu Bi shook his head and said: "The point of his last sentence is not that if you follow this method, you can't solve a single problem, but that you have to think one step more than the Legalists. This is the way to solve it. It should be how to interpret legitimate rights and interests. The public security law in the judicial reform has already increased the power of the people to appeal, so the remaining problem is to legislate around this point."

Zeng Gongliang asked curiously: "Aren't the laws and regulations above Song Xingtong not enough?"

Fu Bidao: "The original intention of the legislation of the criminal system is to govern, and it should be attributed to the Confucian law, while the original intention of the legal system is to protect the rights and interests of individuals, and they cannot be confused."

Zhao Xu looked at Fu Bi and said with a smile, "Fu Gong seems to respect this method very much?"

What Fu Bi said in the past was always a sage first, but now he opens his mouth as the law of the rule of law, it's different!

Fu Bi hesitated for a while, and said truthfully: "I really admire this law, because I think the law of legal system is a perfect supplement to the law of our ancestors, and it can solve many problems."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Fu Gong is willing to take on this important task?"

Fu Bi seemed a little hesitant.

Wang Anshi suddenly said: "Officials, this is not appropriate."

Zhao Xu was taken aback, "What do you mean, sir?"

Wang Anshi explained: "As I just said, these legitimate rights and interests can be more or less. If they are more, they will hinder government orders, and if they are less, they will follow the Legalists. Based on this, whoever controls the legislation will hold the power."

Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo immediately looked at Wang Anshi with contempt.

Among the prime ministers, Wang Anshi and Fu Bi understood the legal system most clearly.

It's just that Wang Anshi relied on his own talent, and his thinking already had advanced concepts.

Fu Bi, on the other hand, is not only talented, but also has experience in reform and a humble attitude.

Based on the concept of the law of the rule of law, whoever holds the legislative power is the boss.

Fu Bi can directly legislate to make people pay less tribute, then his method of equalization will be completely unplayable.

The philosophy of Fan Zhongyan and Sima Guang is to reduce expenditure, and the original intention of reducing expenditure is to reduce the burden on the people.

Fu Bi is one of the leaders of the Qingli New Deal, and he will definitely do such a thing.

Wang Anshi's plan is to manage money and increase revenue. Tax cuts will harm the interests of the country. He uses another method to reduce the burden on the people.

The method of equalization does not legally reduce the burden on the people, but he uses methods to reduce unnecessary losses, so as to reduce the burden on the people.

But taxes haven't gone down.

But Fu Bi nodded, expressing agreement: "Jiefu's words are reasonable, I am afraid that this important task is difficult for anyone to do. What Zhang San said is one step more than the Legalists. It sounds simple, but there are many people in this world. How many people can surpass Shang Yang and Han Feizi in talent. They are all geniuses that are rare in a thousand years, and I feel ashamed of myself, so it is difficult to be competent."

Zhao Xu said with emotion: "Zhang San is right, it sounds reasonable, but let alone solving the problem, even how to implement it is a big problem."

Sima Guang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Shang Yang and Han Feizi are indeed geniuses that are rarely seen in a thousand years. It may be difficult for a single person to surpass them, but we can pool our brains and gather talents from all over the world. Can't we think more than them?" step?"

Zhao Xu hurriedly asked, "What do you think?"

Sima Guang said: "Why don't you entrust this important task to the Law Academy."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

What kind of international joke are you making?

Get a group of students to legislate?

Zhao Xu was also surprised and said, "Give it to the Law Academy?"

Sima Guang nodded and said: "When we were debating in class just now, those students spoke freely without any scruples. What they said must be what they think in their hearts, and they don't have too much selfishness. And the idea of ​​the rule of law is actually It's not difficult, but the difficulty lies in selfishness, compared to the ministers in the court, their selfishness must be much smaller."

Fu Bi's eyes lit up, "What Jun Shi said is very reasonable!"

Wang Anshi blurted out, "Why is it the School of Law and not the School of Mathematical Sciences?"

Sima Guang was surprised and said, "Legalize the Mathematics Academy?"

".?"

Wang Anshi said: "I mean, the Law Academy is still under your control."

Sima Guang said hehe, "Who controlled you before you passed the exam?"

Wang Anshi fell silent.

When he was a student, he started to hate the world, who can control him.

Zhao Xu smiled, pondered for a while, and suddenly felt that Sima Guang's plan was quite good. The reason is very simple. Those students have no power, but it is not appropriate to make such a hasty decision, so he said: "Legislation is a national event. It's not appropriate for students to do it, but you can also let the law school discuss it first."
