Da Qin: Rebuked the dissatisfied ministers, held the sword towards the emperor at the beginning

"Kong Xian! The ancestor of the Kong family, the sixth generation grandson of Confucius!"

Yin Lie took advantage of the situation and shouted coldly: "If according to what you said, public opinion becomes the core foundation of the judiciary, then it will be true that the people will not be the people, and the country will not be the country!"

Yin Lie finished speaking!

He began to look directly at Jiuqing Tingwei Wei Zhuang and Zuo Xiang Li Si!

"If public opinion can judge everything and solve all problems..."

Yin Lie asked back: "Then what do we need the Lord Shang's law for? What do we need for the so-called Jiuqing Tingwei? All county magistrates and county magistrates, including those in local counties, should be removed from their posts. This can also save money for the court. A huge amount of salary expenses!”

Jiuqing Tingwei Wei said: "..."

Left Prime Minister Li Si: "..."

Li Si said that Wei Zhuang was shot while lying down.

but.

Whether it is Li Si or Wei Zang.

None of them said anything to refute Yin Lie.

Because even if Yin Lie's remarks are a little extreme, they are indeed very reasonable.

Law and public opinion!
It can never be completely equal.

Legislating and amending laws must be done by the most professional and qualified people.

You don’t see that Wei Zhuang is always cautious and considers all aspects when deciding a case.

This is because exceptions in judicial trials are equivalent to law amendments and legislation in another sense.

Wei Zhuang was a case decided by Jiu Qing Tingwei.

It is easy for the people below to make judgments based on precedents.

Wei Zhuang is the last line of justice... He must maintain absolute calmness and rationality, which requires wisdom, professionalism, acumen, experience and so on.

which is!
Shang Jun is right to some extent.

The truth of the law is destined to be in the hands of only a very small number of elites.

If the truth completely follows the swing of public opinion...

"If public opinion equals justice, all cases can be solved through public questionnaires!"

Yin Lie sneered: "Kong Xian, do you know what consequences this will eventually lead to!?"

The ancestor of the Kong family gritted his teeth and said: "Qin Yucheng, don't misinterpret what I mean. Lao Chen's people-based judicial philosophy is not a questionnaire for the people as you say..."

The ancestor of the Kong family did not understand what the so-called questionnaire meant.

But he definitely can't admit it...

Anyway, the main focus is to deny and fight to the end!
"Haha! What's so quibbling about this?"

Yin Lie said disdainfully: "Kong Xian, you randomly met a common person on the main street of Xianyang yesterday and wrote down what you called a book of people. What is that if it's not a questionnaire for the people?"

"If these can become the core foundational standards for legislation, in my opinion... we can let Tingwei Weizhuang retire and become an official now. Anyway, if we encounter problems, we can just go to the streets and write the book of the people!"

"All the problems can be solved immediately, the efficiency is extremely high!"

……

Yin Lie very accurately made the Kong family ancestor's Book of All Nations a complete mockery into a joke!
The Book of Wanmin indeed represents public opinion!

But at the legislative level, it does not have the slightest legal rationality!
The people who truly have the legal rationality to legislate are Ting Wei Wei Zhuang, Left Prime Minister Li Si, and even His Majesty the Emperor!

The verdict of these three!

It will directly affect the basis of precedents for future generations!
around.

Many civil servant factions among the officials and princes began to completely fall towards Yin Lie...

"What Qin Yucheng said is correct! If the Trial, Legislation, and Law Amendment in the judiciary are based on the Book of All Peoples as the core reference standard, then we have studied for decades and memorized countless volumes of laws and regulations. Wouldn't it all be empty talk? "

"Hmph! The Kong family in Qufu is so rotten. It's hard to tell the truth. They are so evil and despise our Legalists!"

"Qin Yucheng has actually exposed the ancestors of the Confucian family just now. The Confucian patriarchal system and ritual system are deeply rooted in the grassroots, and manipulating public opinion is completely easy. If our judicial system in Da Qin takes public opinion as the core foundation standard... Haha! Confucianism's hand can be stretched out It’s just too long!”

"Then if you say this, the case of the Min-Vietnam diplomatic murder case cannot be opened! If this special case is made, it will be used as an important reference by Confucian people in the future and they will cling to it. Wouldn't it be very troublesome?"

"Hmph! In my opinion, Your Majesty should not engage in foreign Confucianism and internal law. Otherwise, why would he cause today's farce?"

……

The civil servant faction among the hundreds of officials and princes are basically loyal supporters of Legalism!
When Yin Lie pointed out keenly...

The people-based judicial concept proposed by the ancestor of the Confucius family is essentially to rely on the grassroots influence of Confucianism and bring public opinion to tamper with the judiciary, legislation, and law amendments.

The princes in the temple will naturally have a strong resistance to the ancestors of the Confucius family!
In the end!
This is Guanzhong, this is Xianyang, this is the prosperous place of Legalism.

No matter how the ancestor of the Kong family can manipulate public opinion, he must abide by the rule that the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake!
In summary.

In Yin Lie's view, the success of the ancestor of the Kong family is the book of thousands of people, and the failure of the ancestors of the Kong family is the book of thousands of people!
There is also a sentence from Mencius: The people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least.

There is no problem in saying this to ordinary kings.

But Ying Zheng did not grow up according to the Confucian Zhihu rule, and he did not follow the rules of the Confucian ancestors at all!
"Kong Xian!"

Yin Lie began to take advantage of the situation and pursue him: "No matter how high-sounding you say about the book of people, you even occupy the moral high ground or something."

"But they can't hide it. The essence of public opinion is that more people equal justice!"

"However, you have ignored that the tyranny of the majority... will only become more terrifying once it gets out of control!"

……

Yin Lie once again pointed out a new concept.

The tyranny of the majority!

This is the inevitable result when democracy dominates the judiciary in future generations!
"Since the majority can have the final say, who will protect the interests of the minority?"

Yin Lie asked rhetorically: "For example, there are currently 700 million people in Guanzhong in the Qin Dynasty. Among them, there are only 100 million in the military class at most, and there are also a small number of disabled veterans. If the legislation is based on public opinion..."

As soon as Yin Lie said this!
The ancestor of the Kong family was shocked on the spot!

All of a sudden!
The major military princes of the Junwu Xungui faction, as well as the civil servants and generals of the Guanzhong Xungui faction, looked at the ancestor of the Kong family and their eyes immediately became extremely unkind!
In Daqin...

Real class solidification!
In fact, it is the military class and the civilians who have no merit!

According to the military title system, those with meritorious service are honored and have many privileges!

Those who have no merit are like traders. Even if they have money, they have no glory.

such as.

The merchants of the Qin Dynasty were all subject to restrictions on their clothing, the size of their travels, the height of their home lintels, etc.

What happened to your money?
As long as you have no military merit...

No matter how much money you have, it's just fish on the chopping board, and it's all for nothing!

There you go!
Naturally, the military class must continue to consolidate its own interests!
But the concept of people-based justice mentioned by the ancestors of the Confucius family is essentially that whichever class has the largest number of people can have the final say.

Although Qin's military class is huge, it cannot surpass the general public.

and so.

Second round of confrontation!
Yin Lie won again!
now!

"..."

The ancestor of the Kong family has already felt...

The surrounding atmosphere has changed drastically!
He originally had the support of the Three Dukes and Kingdom Lieutenants behind him!
But under Yin Lie's deliberate instigation...

Instead, he stood on the opposite side of the entire Junwu Xungui faction, including the Legalist faction, who also regarded him as their enemy!

This is equivalent to offending all the civil and military ministers and Dukes of Qin!
"at last."

Yin Lie concluded the coffin by saying: "The judiciary can only take into account public opinion and must not regard public opinion as the core foundation criterion. Legislation and law revision must be carried out by those with the highest qualifications and the most judicial expertise!"

"It's not like someone just holding a book of ten thousand people can talk about it at the judicial level and mislead the country and the people!"

"Under the tyranny of the majority, there will no longer be any fairness or justice. It will only cause all kinds of strife within the empire. This is the source of trouble!"

……

The Qin Dynasty established the country with force and reformed to become stronger!
Lord Shang’s method is the foundation of the empire!
If military law, that is, justice, is rashly changed to one based on public opinion...

no doubt!

Know everything with your toes.

Great Qin will inevitably fall into internal administrative chaos in a short period of time, with various confrontations between the military class and the non-meritorious class!

Maybe someone will say...

What can the inactive class use to fight against the military class?
A bunch of assholes!
No capital!
The answer is that among the nobles, there are also a large number of people who are rich but have no military merit.And there are quite a few!
When the judiciary takes public opinion as the core reference standard.

Do you think those nobles without military merit will incite the people at the bottom and use the tilt of judicial power to attack the military class...

After all, the military class enjoys so many privileges!
Some nobles have no merit and still have nothing.

Coupled with the peace period of unification, classes began to become more solidified.

at this time.

The so-called people-based and state-oriented concepts put forward by the ancestors of the Confucius family, as well as the concept of public opinion and justice, etc., all add fuel to the fire!

Its heart is awkward!

"you you……"

The ancestor of the Kong family was speechless!

Under the pressure of all the auras of the temple masters!
The ancestor of the Kong family also began to feel anxious and uneasy...

When Yin Lie saw this, he immediately changed his tone and said: "Speaking of which, I have always been curious. Confucianism is based on loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness. There are many righteous people in the Spring and Autumn Period. Why don't you see the Kong family?"

"Meson pushed the owner of the meat breeder, and this gave rise to the famous Duke Wen of Jin in ancient and modern times!"

"Yu asked a soldier to die for his confidant, and he would not hesitate to swallow charcoal and apply paint, but he would also sacrifice his life for the righteousness. Even if he did not succeed in assassinating Zhao Xiangzi in the end, he could still clear his mind by tattooing his clothes and cross the river of death!"

"Chen Ying risked his life to save the Zhao orphans and endured the humiliation and burden for more than ten years before he raised Zhao Wu to adulthood and restored the family honor during the reign of Duke Dao of Jin Dynasty!"

"Qu Yuan was exiled one after another, and finally threw himself into the Miluo River and died for his country. Such loyalty is definitely worthy of the word "loyalty to the country"!"

……

Yin Lie gave examples of four people in one breath!
Among them, Jie Zitui, Yurang and Chen Ying were all righteous men in the Spring and Autumn Period!
And Qu Principle was an extremely famous and loyal minister during the Warring States Period!
As for whether there are some unknown people who still practice the righteousness of the country!
Of course there is!
And a lot!
Unfortunately……

The book only records the affairs of princes and princes, and the historical records do not contain human names!
When each of the six Shandong kingdoms perished, there were many martyrs.

Every one of them can be said to have upheld the righteousness of loyalty to the country and the emperor!

As for after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Han, Sui, Tang, Song and Ming...

Even the Song Dynasty, which was known for being a "coward", had a naval battle at Yashan!
One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians!

I would rather throw myself into the sea than surrender!
This bloody!
It is worthy of Yin Lie’s praise!

however.

Another look at the Kong family in Qufu in Qing history...

Yin Lie just wants to say that one generation is inferior to the other. Even if he turns a blind eye, he will feel extremely angry!

For example: Southern Song Dynasty...

The Jin people detained some members of the Kong family in Qufu, and then introduced a No. 40 ninth-generation grandson of Confucius: Kong Pan as the Yanshenggong of the Jin Dynasty.

The Southern Song Dynasty was established and the No. 40 seventh-generation grandson of Confucius was named: Kong Youduan, as the Duke Yansheng of the Song Dynasty.

later.

When the Mongols went south, they also followed suit and made Kong Yuan, the descendant of Confucius, the Duke Yansheng of the Yuan Dynasty!

Rumor has it!

When Kong Yuan met the Mongolian nobles, he always knelt down to worship. This was really more pious than worshiping Confucius!

So far!

Three princes coexist, two sects stand side by side!
It should be the best evidence of the two ends of Kong's snake and rat in Qufu!
Assuming that Confucius knew about the virtues of his descendants underground, I am afraid that the coffin boards would be unable to hold it down and he would be so angry that he would immediately come to life!
This is also the crux of Yin Lie's hatred of the Kong family in Qufu.

23 The second minister of the court!

56 generations of domestic slaves!

As for Kong Zhang in the south and Kong Liu in the north, I won’t mention it anymore!
Anyway, this Qufu Kong family...

As a result, he actually claims to be the authentic Chinese culture and a model of Confucian loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness!
Yin Lie just wants to say...it is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

Ridiculous!

"Kong Xian! Throughout the more than five hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are so many people who have sacrificed their lives for the righteousness!"

As Yin Lie spoke, he began to raise his steps and press forward to the ancestor of the Kong family: "Looking at your Qufu Kong family... the Lu Kingdom has been destroyed, and the Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed!"

"Did anyone from your Kong family ever die for his motherland!?"

"In the past, when King Kaolie of Chu overthrew the Kingdom of Lu, did you, the Kong family in Qufu, do anything righteous and dedicated? The answer is no! You claim to be the direct descendants of sages, authentic Confucianism, and a model for literati in the world... But what do you do? Didn’t even do it!”

……

The more Yin Lie talks, the stronger his momentum becomes!

The awe-inspiring righteousness in him seemed to have condensed into substance...

And then it turned into an extremely terrifying sense of oppression!
The ancestor of the Kong family blushed for a while, then turned white and stepped back...

Back and forth!

"King Sheng of Zhou was heavily in debt, and Duke Qing of Lu was cut off from sacrifices!"

Yin Lie shouted coldly: "At that time, where was the loyalty and filial piety of your Qufu Kong family? Where was the benevolence and righteousness!?"

Ancestor of the Kong family: "..."

"Speaking of which, the past kings of Lu have shown great kindness to you, the Qufu Kong family!"

Yin Lie continued: "On every day when Confucius is worshipped, the kings of Lu will come in person, and on many festivals, the kings of Lu will give you a lot of rewards from the Qufu Confucius family!"

"Villa, land, jade, ancient books, etc., etc.!"

"Even so, have you, the Qufu Kong family, ever repaid your kindness?"

"On the contrary, those nameless Guizhou leaders, when the Lu Kingdom was destroyed, were willing to use three feet of loess to bury centuries of loyalty!"

"What do those Lu people and Guizhou leaders have? Do they enjoy the kindness of the emperor like you, the Kong family in Qufu?"

……

When the state of Lu was destroyed.

Many civilians in Guizhou died for their country.

Especially the elderly...

Those unknown people are willing to use their meager efforts to support their country during their lifetime!

I am willing to give my soul even after death!
Protect the incense of Lu country forever!

This loyalty...

Yin Lie should remember this!
"Even if we take a step back!"

Yin Lie took a deep breath and said: "Don't say that when King Kaolie of Chu destroyed the Lu State, you had to be buried with the Kong family in Qufu. At the very least, you secretly rebuilt the ancestral temple of Lu Qinggong to worship and show your loyalty. You guys really do it." Not enough?"

"No! You just don't dare to do it and don't bother to do it..."

"After all, times have changed, and people have to leave with their tea!"

"Rites and music have collapsed, Zhou Lu has been overthrown, how can you, the Qufu Kong family, take risks for that worthless loyalty...?"

……

Yin Lie's last words should have pierced the heart of the ancestor of the Kong family like a sharp sword!
Worthless loyalty!

Even if he chooses to throw himself into the river, Kong from Qufu will dislike the water being too cold!

"Zhuzi! Shuzi!"

The ancestor of the Kong family had no way to retreat, his face turned red, and the veins on his forehead were exposed!

He raised his hand tremblingly: "Shuzi, how dare you insult my Qufu Kong family like this..."

"Is this an insult to you? In fact, I have even worse things to say that I haven't said yet!"

Yin Lie twitched his lips and said: "I really don't understand. How dare you, an unfaithful and unjust minister and a corrupt person, dare to enter the Qin Dynasty and embarrass me!" Fortunately, we are in the court today, and there is no wine. You can drink it, otherwise you will take advantage of the alcohol... Haha! I'm drunk and want to sleep, please go away, go to hell with you!"

The voice didn't fall!

Immediately!

"puff!!"

The ancestor of the Kong family directly followed in the footsteps of Kong Bai!

Three feet of blood!
The end of life!

Qufu Kong's...completely finished! !
