Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Rule by people? Rule of law?
Everyone looked at the four words written by the immortal master on the rice paper, and everyone fell into deep thought.

rule of law.

These two words are not unfamiliar to these princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the first unified dynasty, the Qin Dynasty established after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms, adopted Li Si's legalist ideas of governing the country.

and.

Legalist thought, after thousands of years of inheritance and practice, has confirmed one point.

A dynasty cannot be without laws.

As the saying goes, there is no circle without rules, and there is no country without rules.

If a country does not have laws, then there will be no taboos for people in that country. Laws are the sword used by the empire to restrain all people.

One of the hallmark characteristics of troubled times is that if you don't follow laws and regulations, you can be lawless if you have soldiers in your hands.

Therefore, no matter it is the Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty or Yuan Dynasty, no matter it is any dynasty, at the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, the first thing must be to formulate a mature set of laws. With this set of laws, only the people can be ruled and stabilized. rule.

For example, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hongwu promulgated the Ming Dynasty Law.

Only when the law is in front of us can people in the world act in accordance with the law, and can the world follow the Tao.

"Brother, we can understand the meaning of the word rule of law."

"But this person governs?"

Lao Zhu's eyes focused on the word 'man rule' written on the rice paper. He really couldn't figure it out.

Podium position C.

Ji Boying glanced at the group of emperors and princes in the audience. At this moment, Ji Boying could see from the eyes of these people that they had a look of confusion similar to that of Lao Zhu. It was obvious that he understood the word "zhi" from this group of people. , all of them have great doubts.

"Regarding the word "rule by man", I will give you a simple conceptual description.

"If the world is governed by people, the problem that Hong Xi just mentioned is a fact. Once you, the Zhu family, lose the power of the emperor to rule the world, you will lose everything you own, and you will eventually die and your family will be destroyed."

"And if the world adopts the rule of law, this problem can be perfectly solved."

The immortal master finished speaking.

‘? ? ? ? ’

A series of question marks appeared in the minds of every emperor and prince of the Zhu family, including Lao Zhu and A Biao. They still didn't understand why the rule of law could be avoided.

"Master Immortal, the student has a question."

at this time.

Abiao, who was sitting on the edge of the podium, stood up.

Ever since he became the Immortal Master's assistant, Abiao, as a top student, has rarely asked the Immortal Master questions in class. After all, as the Immortal Master's appointed assistant, his duty is to assist the Immortal Master in teaching better. Naturally, We need to give more questions to the students in the audience, and we must always pay attention to our identity.

But this class is different from any previous class.

This was the last lesson that the immortal master taught the Zhu family.

In the last class of the Immortal Master, he would rather give up his identity as the Immortal Master's assistant and instead listen to the Immortal Master's class as an ordinary student.

"speak."

Ji Boying looked at A Biao and smiled.

Ji Boying has always had a good impression of Xue Babiao, especially after Xue Babiao became a teaching assistant, he helped a lot in class, saving Ji Boying a lot of unnecessary talk.

A Biao took a deep breath, first saluted the immortal master, then took a deep breath and spoke.

"I am heading towards."

"Or the Yuan, Song, Tang, and Han dynasties before our dynasty. Each of these previous dynasties ruled the country by law. Why did they end up perishing in the end?"

Something went wrong.

Everyone in the audience nodded.

They also had the same question in their minds. After Abiao asked the question, they all discussed it one after another. The result of the discussion was that they believed that the laws of the Ming Dynasty were the most advanced compared to those of the previous dynasties. In a sound part, all levels of the country are also in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Their Ming Empire was a proper rule of law.

Since the Ming Dynasty is already ruled by law, what changes need to be made?
of course.

This conclusion is the result of discussions among the princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty, and does not represent the views of the immortal master Ji Boying.

Regarding the discussion in the audience, no matter how loud it was, the immortal master on the podium did not interrupt, but waited until the discussion gradually subsided before speaking.

"There is a fundamental difference between what is the rule of law and what is the rule of men."

the difference? !
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Immediately, everyone paid attention to the Immortal Master and listened quietly to what the Immortal Master said. What exactly is this difference?

"Rule of law, law is supreme."

“People rule and people can make laws.”

"You are all the emperors and the leaders of all dynasties. Ask yourselves carefully, if there is a certain law standing in front of you, and you must destroy this law, what will you do in the end? choose?"

The voice asked.

Everyone was stunned, but Fatty Hong Xi was the more honest one and was the first to speak up.

"Abolish it, or change it to suit your needs."

As soon as this answer came out, everyone else was silent, but they obviously agreed with this answer. After all, to be honest, they had done this kind of thing all over the Ming dynasty. There were always inconsistencies in the laws of the Ming Dynasty. As the emperor, they could just change the laws they wanted, or create a new law to bypass it, focusing on doing whatever they wanted.

"If one person can change the law at will based on his will, how can there be such a rule of law in the world?"

"Precisely because one person's will can change the law, when the Zhu family royal family loses the imperial power of the Emperor, the new person in power can drive out all of you Zhu family royal family based on one person's will."

Gordon.

The words 'Kill them all' hit their ears, and everyone's hearts were agitated.

"But if the world regards the law as supreme, the situation will be completely different."

"The law is supreme and governs the world. Everyone in the empire must act in accordance with the text of the law. Even the ruler of the empire cannot change the written terms of the law. Under such circumstances, It is agreed in the law that the Zhu family royal family is the legal and sole owner of the Ming Empire, and the Zhu family royal family will be supported by the empire forever, etc. This will ensure that your Zhu family royal family temple will not be destroyed."

So much for words.

The princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty in the audience were obviously a little confused after hearing this.

Even Xue Babiao couldn't help but frown. He found that he didn't understand what the immortal master just said, or he seemed to understand it.

By making provisions in the law, can the country be protected and prosperous?
"Brother, can you be more straightforward about this matter?"

Lao Zhu's brows were already frowning.

He felt that his head was a little burned. He couldn't get around this problem no matter how much he tried. It made him wonder if he had Alzheimer's disease. But when he looked at the Zhu family's children and grandchildren below the stage, he couldn't get around it. Seeing the confusion in their eyes, I was sure that it was not Alzheimer's disease, but that it was indeed difficult to understand.

Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu and A Biao, and then glanced at the group of emperors and princes of the Zhu family.

indeed.

This concept is a bit forward, especially for the Zhu family members who are emperors. They themselves are the pinnacle of human rule. It is really difficult for them to deeply understand the concept of rule of law.

"Master Immortal, I still have a question."

At this time, Xuebabiao spoke again. He seemed to have recalled what the Immortal Master had just said.

"explain."

Ji Boying looked at A Biao.

This question-and-answer model is also a way of teaching for others, and it will be easier to understand.

“Students have a few questions that they don’t quite understand.”

"If someone else has the highest power in the Ming Dynasty, then why can't they change the law? Why can't they abolish my royal family of the Zhu family? What is the basis for this inability to change? How should we protect the supremacy of the law?"

Xuebabiao asked a series of questions.

From the perspective of the princes and princes of the Great Ming Dynasty, including A Biao, when another person ascends to the top, he naturally owns the world, and must overthrow everything of the previous dynasty, including the laws of the previous dynasty.

It is obviously impossible to use laws to restrain a person who holds the power of the empire. It is completely unreliable!

No matter how you look at it, it's not feasible.

"Yes, Master Immortal, how is this possible? It's completely unworkable!"

"The law can only restrain the people of the world, but cannot restrain those in power."

"…………"

The group of people under the podium, after A Biao raised a series of questions, each one found their own doubts and raised their own questions one after another.

Such noise made Lao Zhu even more irritable. Originally this was his brother's last lesson, Lao Zhu was in a bad mood.

"What are you arguing about? Shut up!"

Lao Zhu glared at these descendants of the Zhu family and shouted loudly. Everyone sensed Lao Zhu's anger and quickly shut their mouths.

"Please listen carefully to my brother's lecture. Everyone is buzzing about something. If anyone dares to keep buzzing, I'll beat you up, you piece of shit."

talking.

Lao Zhu struck the ground with the mace beside the Grand Master's chair.

hum.

Everyone's pupils shrank.

No one wants to be beaten by Grandfather Taizu in this last class. It is really a memorable lesson that will never be forgotten.

"A Biao's questions."

"It can be said that the questions were very good and they all got to the key points of the problem."

Ji Bo smiled at the corners of his mouth and gave A Biao an affirmative look.

Being able to ask these questions shows that A Biao is indeed listening carefully and thinking seriously. Every doubt raised is the content that Ji Boying will tell everyone next, which just gives Ji Boying an outline. The provincial Ji Boying Go figure it out yourself.

"first."

"We need to make one thing clear."

"Let me ask you a question."

After saying this, Ji Boying glanced at the group of princes and princes of the Great Tomorrow and said calmly.

"Does the supreme power of the empire have to be a certain person?"

The Immortal Master spoke, and then his words fell.

The princes and princes of the Great Tomorrow in the audience were stunned and looked confused.

Judging from their experiences and the education they received since childhood, the holder of the highest power in the empire could not be a person. What else could it be?
This question is simply too metaphysical.

These emperors of the Zhu family feel like their brains are about to explode and their heads are about to explode!

"Master Immortal, this, I really can't figure it out."

When Wuzong Zhu Houzhao heard this, he couldn't help but stood up and spoke.

“The holder of the highest power is not one person, how can it be a group of people?”

"bingo."

The words fell.

Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao was instantly confused. Is this right?
sometimes.

When you don't know the answer, answer according to your own feeling, or just choose C, which will basically be correct.

Wuzong Zhu Houzhao is the best example.

Everyone else also listened with a look on their face? ? ? '.

What the hell?
The highest power is a group of people? What a joke!
How to play? You can't just vote by show of hands all day long!
"This concept of a group of people is more accurate."

Ji Boying continued.

"He is from the world."

"The holders of the highest power are the people of the world, the people of the empire."

After the Immortal Master's words, these princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty went crazy even more, their heads were filled with mush.

The common people are common people and careless people, and they are the subjects of the emperor. How come the supreme power of the empire is still in the hands of the common people? Is it possible that the common people should be placed above the emperor? !

This, what kind of emperor is this, what kind of royal family is this? !

I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out at all! What is the logic of this theory? !
The Zhu family's great emperors and princes in the audience were all frowning. As the supreme emperor, how could they be trampled under the feet of the common people? !
"If you want to be more precise."

"If you can understand it this way, it may be easier to accept."

"The emperor will give most of the imperial power in his hands to the people of the world, and then the people of the world will choose the talents they believe to be in office. The source of this power still comes from your Zhu family royal family."

After the Immortal Master finished speaking, everyone had serious expressions on their faces, thinking over and over again about the meaning of the Immortal Master's words.

Although it's a bit convoluted, I seem to hear something mysterious.

Lao Zhu, in particular, murmured the word 'checks and balances'.

And at this time.

The top student who had just sat down suddenly stood up, with a look of enlightenment on his face, and said quickly.

"I got it!"

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Xuebabiao, especially the three Zhu Di.

Thought: How come you have enlightened again? My dear big brother, are you the legendary Zhu Wukong? !
"Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it."

"The Immortal Master's method is to integrate the Zhu family royal family with the common people. From now on, we, the Zhu family royal family, have become the water of the world and will never be overturned!"

At this point, Abiao was obviously very excited, and his logic suddenly became smooth and impeccable.

Everyone else was stunned for a moment, and then all of them looked shocked.

It makes so much sense!
Ji Boying looked at the excited A Biao and was stunned for a moment. He couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. To be honest, he had never thought of such a theory, but after hearing what A Biao said, it really made a lot of sense.

Biaobiao, you are such a fucking genius! (End of chapter)
