Qiankun Storyteller

Although experts from all sides gathered in Jinyang, the queue in front of the city was not chaotic at all and was always in order.

After all, in the battle of Ningzhou, Yu Wei still exists.

Even if Xiantian waited for the raptors crossing the river, he would hide and shrink his head at this moment, not daring to be arrogant.

Of course, they have no reason to be arrogant.

They came here this time to fight for luck, meet the master, and help Longting.

It's not for the purpose of being an enemy of the only one who can master the mystery in the current world.

So, what is Zhang Kuang doing?
Even the Song family and other people who deliberately provoke and create chaos have not acted rashly at this moment.

The situation is unclear, they have no direction, no goal, and it is meaningless to act now.

Everyone is watching.

Therefore, the surface situation is very calm, only the underwater undercurrent is surging.

Although it was an inspection at the customs, there seemed to be not many things to check, and the team moved extremely fast, and it was the turn of the three old men in a short while.

A servant came to the three of them and asked, "Can you read?"

"..."

"..."

Behind, the boy was speechless, and the girl suppressed her laughter.

The old man didn't care, nodded and said, "Yes!"

Hearing this, the guard didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed a piece of paper to the old man: "This is a new law, let's go!"

After all, let the three leave.

The old man glanced at the paper, and immediately frowned, but he didn't say anything, and walked towards the city.

The guard also turned to the descendants and continued the questioning just now.

"Readable?"

"The villain doesn't know."

"Enter the city, turn left, notice the sign, someone reads the new law, go and listen by yourself, and then leave after listening."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The person who came later was an old farmer who was still carrying two taels of millet. After hearing what the guards said, he immediately carried his load into the city and walked towards the notice board.

Under the notice board, a group of people had gathered, basically they were ordinary people who could not read or write.

Behind the notice board, there is a high platform, on which stands an officer, who is reading out the emerging decree to everyone.

"A new decree: acres of land belong to the public, and all land property rights shall not be owned by individuals..."

"Second Order of the New Law: Abolition of fame, the previous right to official status, exemption from taxes and corvees, etc. will all be cancelled..."

"Three Orders of the New Law: Officials grant Taoist discs. All cultivators, regardless of the three religions, Taoism, Confucianism, and Confucianism, must go to the government to register and accept the discs. Those who do not have Dao discs break the law, and the crime will be increased!"

"Four Orders of the New Law: Increase Commercial Tax..."

"Five Orders of the New Law: Increase Road Tax..."

"Six Orders of the New Law: Zong Fa Can't Power..."

One line at a time, one order at a time, a group of people seem to understand but do not understand, confused.

On the contrary, outside the notice board, the people watching from all sides frowned, their hearts were full of surprise and uncertainty, and they were even filled with shock and anger.

"This……"

"Is this person crazy?"

"Such new laws are simply insane!"

"Acres of land belong to the public and cannot be held by individuals. Isn't this robbing the people?"

"People have worked hard for generations, accumulated for generations, and worked hard to build a wealth and foundation. You just accept it as soon as you say it?"

"Abolishing fame is simply absurd. I am a scholar who cultivates his morals and governs the country. It is a law of heaven and earth to reward supporters with fame. Fire!"

"Officially conferring Taoism is a big joke in the world, and people from other places, such as me, still need to be included in your official list?"

"Increasing commercial tax is nothing more than collecting tax from Taoism, which is simply unimaginable. Throughout the past and present, in all dynasties, there is only the principle of donating to Taoism and Buddha. I have never seen a case of anti-Taoist tax collection. This is no longer the same The people are fighting for profit, but they are robbing the people and poisoning the people!"

"Crazy, crazy, that person is absolutely crazy!"

"He has not yet become the master of the world, and he has not even acquired a state, but he occupies a small golden sun, and dares to implement such insane laws?"

"Aren't you afraid that if you lose all your hearts, the world will turn against you?"

Looking at the guards who loudly announced the new decree on the notice stand, and the people watching from a distance, all of them were frowning and their eyes were full of shock and anger.

Although they were mentally prepared and knew that the man would not take the usual path and practice the usual methods, they still didn't expect him to be so extreme.

What kind of decree is being promoted here? It is clearly a letter of war, a letter of war issued to Daoxuan, Buddhism, Confucianism, the three religions, the world's aristocratic families, the world's powerful families, literati, and powerful officials and gentry.

Is he going to make an enemy of the world?
How dare he?
How dare he! ! !

The old man frowned, without saying a word, he just cast his eyes on Wei Ming.

I saw Wei Zi, the most famous Legalist Daxiu in Kyushu and the most hopeful successor to the position of giant, was also frowning at this moment, with a heavy expression on his face.

Facing the old man's gaze, he turned around and left without any response.

"This……"

The young girl stepped forward, looked at Wei Mingyuan's back, and then asked the old man: "Master, he...?"

The old man shook his head and murmured: "The way of kings must be followed, because the rule of law is beneficial to the king's career, it can stabilize the foundation of the king's way, suppress turmoil in all directions, reward meritorious deeds and punish crimes, and take life and death. Therefore, the king must follow the kingly way!"

"but……"

The old man turned his head, looked at the high platform where the common people gathered, and asked himself: "The way of kings must be followed, and the laws are established for the way of kings. Is there any reason for usurping the host and destroying the way of kings?"

……

"teacher!"

On the other side, behind Wei Ming, a group of Legalist disciples followed closely, also puzzled, and followed the sound.

"This kind of law..."

"Is it too hasty?"

"This person really respects my Legalists, but this kind of decree..."

"It's really against people's hearts, it's against people's wishes!"

"Not only is it against people's hearts, it is simply intolerable in the world!"

"Taking the official position of the imperial examination and canceling the power of fame and fame is digging the roots of Confucianism and destroying the foundation of Mingjiao!"

"It is necessary to grant Taoist discs from the officials and increase Taoist taxes. Isn't this to suppress the Taoism and suppress the Buddha, and take out the lifeline of his spinal cord?"

"Taoism, Buddhism, Buddhism, Confucianism and the three religions, as well as literati, officials and gentry, powerful, and people in the world, who can tolerate this law and order?"

"Now he is not the lord of the world, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, so he acts perversely like this, without considering the consequences?"

A group of Legalist disciples spoke in succession, all of them were surprised and puzzled.

The king must follow the law, why must the law?
It is nothing more than the testimonies that benefit the kingly way.

To put it in a plain language, it is: the law is the embodiment of the will of the ruler and a tool for safeguarding the interests of the ruler.

The law exists for the king, and the fundamental purpose of kingly legislation is to use the law to protect itself, not to use itself to protect the law.

Therefore, the core of legalism today is - people rule by law, and follow the king.

But now that person doesn't seem to think so, and actually implements such a decree.

This is a decree?

This is a gauntlet, a gauntlet for the people of the world!

He wants to be an enemy of the world?
Why does he want to be an enemy of the world?
How does this benefit him?
The law exists for the king, and it is one of the cornerstones of the kingly way.

But the decree he is implementing now is not the cornerstone of the kingly way, it is clearly the tomb of the kingly way, and the tomb of the kingly way is to be buried!

If he has already ruled the world, it is barely understandable to do so.

But now he hasn't even won a state, and only occupied a small Jinyang Mansion, so he implements such laws and pushes everyone in the world to the opposite of him...

Isn't this just too hasty?

To say that you are insane is an understatement.

He doesn't want this world, this king's business, this country?
