Saint of the Confucian way

Fang Yun didn't seem to see the reaction of the legalist scholars and continued to speak.

"We don't care about the law, we just look at the original rules. If we think further, what do the original rules come from?"

"From survival? There are many rules that don't affect survival."

"From calming the struggle? When we investigate the primitive society, we will find that people in the primitive society are more equal. They don't even have the concept of private goods. Everything is collective, and there are few struggles."

"From God?" Fang Yun suddenly became serious, "Our human race has experienced countless hardships, and countless sages have paved the way for progress with their bones. Let us develop to today and obtain countless achievements and achievements. If we brazenly claim that this is a gift from God, we are tarnishing the sages of all dynasties, which is tantamount to frustrating them, negating our blood, negating our wisdom and negating the reason for our human existence! Since everything is perfect It's a gift from God. What do you want people to do? What have people done? Such people are not as good as insects and ants! Therefore, I don't want the Terran to have such a voice. Those who say that are the product of the progress and failure of the Terran and should be nailed to the pillar of shame in history! "

The readers under the stage nodded one after another and recognized Fang Yun's words.

"To get back to the point, we will find that our ancient ancestors must have considered many factors when making rules. Among these factors, there are survival and struggle, but because there are many factors, all of them can not become the source of the original rules. Then, we continue to infer, what makes those ancestors who made rules need to test Considering so many factors? Some people may think that it's good to set the rules casually. If someone is unlucky, he will be unlucky. If someone does something bad, he will do something bad. It doesn't matter if the child is bullied or the old man is killed... "

Fang Yun deliberately paused for a few minutes, then continued: "When you hear me say this, you will naturally have some resistance and think that these are bad. You see, this is the point. In fact, we are following a potential standard to judge, especially when you judge these things, I'm afraid most people will not consider whether it is legal, but feel bad, unreasonable and unreasonable. Then, we naturally come to the conclusion that The standard is morality. "

"Our ancestors made primitive rules according to our morality, and primitive rules influenced today's law. Therefore, the origin of law is morality."

There was silence in the venue. Some people thought deeply, some agreed, but others showed doubt.

Fang Yun smiled and said, "as I said, I am not conclusive about the origin of law, I just talk about my personal opinion. At least so far, no one can deny that morality is one of the most important factors affecting the rules of primitive society."

"I have seen many people in the audience unconvinced. After all, in everyone's cognition, Confucianism attaches the most importance to morality, and the temple also attaches importance to virtue and virtue. Moreover, at present, some Legalists want to completely separate the law from ethics and completely cut off the relationship with morality. But in fact, everyone is influenced by morality, even if it is immoral."

"Let me take the simplest example. If we don't consider morality and only look at murder from the text without emotional color, then one person kills another and the victim dies. Because there is no morality as the standard, we give up emotion and reason. Just from a purely neutral point of view, our judgments and sentencing of all killers are consistent It should be the same, because the process is killing, and the result is human death. "

"However, the actual situation is that we have feelings and morality, so the sentencing is different for manslaughter, self-defense murder or cruel and abominable means. If the law does not consider feelings and morality, it is untenable to judge only according to the law itself."

"Therefore, if we really make a law that does not consider morality and reason, it will become the end of mankind."

"At this time, let's talk about sentencing. At present, most legal families support 'retribution sentencing', which does not need too much explanation. Just from the literal meaning, we can see that the sentencing of this kind of law is based on its criminal behavior. It is a punishment for criminals. If the crime is serious, the punishment is heavy. Obviously, punishing those who do bad things originates from human morality."

"However, there are still very few legal families who believe that morality should not be considered in sentencing. The law is not to punish, but to prevent crime and prevent crime. However, if we think carefully, we will come to some absurd conclusions. For example, if a person kills a person, he will be sentenced to exile for ten years in order to prevent him from committing another crime. Then, if a person says he wants to kill, or may If you want to kill, shouldn't the crime be the same? "

"If the judgment is to prevent a person from committing a crime again, it can't decide how many years to punish, because who can determine 'when the murderer will no longer commit a crime'? Is it the murderer himself, the Minister of Dali temple, or the saints? I can undoubtedly say that the saints can't do it. If the saints can do it, they must pat the murderer to death, and then say, from now on, guarantee the murderer Hands will not sin again! "

"Of course, there are peacemakers who want to compromise. They think that the sentencing should consider both punishment and prevention. Then, before the return, the law should ultimately rely on morality. The law that morality determines justice is the law, and the unjust law is the law that a few people use the law to safeguard their own interests, just as the slave owner stipulates what slaves should do and should not do 。”

Hearing this, the illegal family all thought Fang Yun's words were easy to understand and explained the relevant things very clearly.

However, the emotions of many French families fluctuated obviously, because they were vaguely aware of the purpose of Fang Yun. Different from the previous opposition and questioning emotions, many French family members are looking forward to it this time.

Fang Yun continued: "we have talked about the source of the law and the impact of the law. Now, we should consider who can formulate the law and for whom!"

In the expectation of all the people, Fang Yun suddenly changed his words and said, "before talking about making laws, I quote a sentence in five bark beetles written by Han Feizi and Han Sheng, 'but now those who have the ways of beauty, Yao, Shun, Tang, Wu and Yu in today's world will laugh for the new saint. Therefore, the saint does not want to repair the ancient times, is not normal, and discusses the affairs of the world because it is prepared.'"

"Han Feizi said earlier in this sentence that in the primitive period, the Chao family taught people to build houses on trees, and the Sui family taught people to drill wood for fire, so people respected and loved them. However, if in the Xia Dynasty, people still built houses with ancient methods and drill wood for fire, they would be ridiculed by Dayu. If in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, some people thought that the first priority of governing the country was to control water, it would be inevitable Will be ridiculed by Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. Then, back to this sentence, if there are still people who advocate the way of governing the country of Yao, Shun, Tang, Wu and Yu, they will be ridiculed by the saints now. The real saints will not expect to copy the ancient methods to solve everything, and will not completely follow the old rules and bad habits, but should formulate the corresponding law of governing the country according to the current actual situation. "

"Then, I want to ask you, what is Han Sheng talking about?"

No one answered. Everyone stared at Fang Yun and wanted to get the answer.

"The sky is not enough!"

"Ancestry is not enough!"

"Words are not enough!"

Fang Yun's sonorous and powerful voice sounded at the meeting and went up into the sky!
