Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2382
The criminal is the law.

The common people are the head of Guizhou.

Doctors are also middle and upper officials.

There is an inherent saying that "punishment cannot be punished by a doctor".

In the sixth year of Taixing, the fifteenth day of the first month.

Light the sky lanterns.

How many steps does it take to light a sky lantern?

First take out the lamp, second light the fire, and third stand up and light it for everyone to see...

And now, Fei Qian is doing this.

Fei Qian Qian Qinglong Temple held the first "corrupt officials" public trial meeting of the Han Dynasty.

"Punishment" is now on the head of "Doctor"...

A group of children trembled.

In fact, in China, the phrase "Punishment cannot be punished by a doctor" is like "the people can let it go", there is a certain misunderstanding.Many people say that "Punishment can't be punished by a doctor" is a protection for corrupt officials of the feudal dynasty, and it means that "a doctor" will not be punished or sanctioned for committing a crime, but in fact these people's understanding of this sentence is not complete.

The complete sentence should be "Punishment is not on the doctor's side, and the punishment is not on the king's side".

The original text comes from the "Book of Rites", and "Book of Rites" was completed in the middle and late Warring States period. Then in the Qin and Han Dynasties, many Confucian scholars expressed that the phrase "Punishment cannot be punished by a doctor" was a summary and summary of the current social law enforcement status at that time. Summarize.

But actually...

Let's talk about the aspect of "punishment" first.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, to the present day of the Han Dynasty, it is not that doctors are exempt from punishment for committing crimes.

There is such a regulation in "Zhou Li": "The corpses of scholars are distributed in various cities, and the corpses of doctors are distributed in various dynasties." 』

In the ancient dynasties, executions were mostly carried out in the market, and the public was allowed to watch. After the execution, the corpse was exposed for three days.However, the execution of a doctor's crime is not in the market, but in the imperial court. This is a kind of differential treatment, but it still shows very clearly that officials at the level of "doctor" are still dealt with by the criminal law, and the place of punishment is stipulated. , it is by no means exempt from sanctions as understood by people of later generations that "the punishment cannot be punished by a doctor".

It can be said that in the 2000 years of China's feudal society, no dynasty has ever governed the country according to the misunderstood point of view of "Punishment is not a doctor".

Whether it is from ancient historical documents or from the thousands of years of ancient Chinese social progress, it is very clear that "the doctor cannot be punished" and must not be misunderstood as "the doctor has committed a crime and will not be punished". As for this sentence Why did the words have the meaning of "not being punished", then it can only be said that some people were fooled and limped.

Punishment should not be punished by a doctor. It is not that officials can not abide by the law, or that the law cannot govern officials, as some people say, but that officials are educated people, and they should know books and rituals. , is "self-restraint", and "punishment" is enforced, so officials cannot act like ordinary people, except for the enforced "punishment", the rest of the "rituals" do not act...

To put it simply, "Punishment" is the pass line. Facing all ordinary people in Qianshou, "Li" is the line of excellence, which is a higher requirement on the basis of "Punishment". , Let the "doctor" only do the "punishment" part, it would be really rude.

In ancient society, common people did not know etiquette because they had not received formal education, so they could not be required to consciously restrain their behavior like officials were required to do.

What the common people are facing is survival and development, and they are in contact with specific contradictions and conflicts between people. Therefore, they must resolve various contradictions and conflicts among each other under the supervision of the law. That is two, what is right is true, what is wrong is not true, and there is nothing to be concerned about.

What the "doctors" face is the survival and development of the entire society, the entire nation, and the entire country. The various contradictions and conflicts among each other cannot be treated with their "personal" attitude, because the views on many issues are different from each other. Their respective education, experience and other factors cannot be exactly the same, and often even completely opposite. No one can judge who is right and who is wrong in a short time.

This requires "courtesy".

Therefore, "doctors" must understand and abide by the principle of "seeking common ground while reserving minor differences", and on the basis of mutual respect for each other's opinions, respect the various decisions made by the management, and fully implement them.

If you are right, you will be prosperous together, if you are wrong, you will be humiliated together.

"Xing" tells "should not do this", so it is a coercive means to keep people at a safe distance from each other; "Li" tells "should do this", so it It is a conscious behavior that allows people to maintain mutual cooperation and respect between people.

This is the first meaning that Fei Qian wants to warn the children around the current high platform...

Fei Qian gave a slight signal and nodded to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong had a dark face, nodded seriously, and then strode forward, walked up to the high platform, and looked around with his eyelids, until the surrounding area was completely silent, and only the banners were crackling in the wind. looked back.

"Hmmm! 』

Pang Tong took out a scroll of imperial edict from his sleeve, slowly unfolded it, and then looked around again, then set his eyes on the imperial edict, and began to recite it in rhythmic rhythm...

"Everything in the world has its origin.The strength of wood is to solidify its roots, and the distance of rivers and streams is to dredge its source.The peace of the people is to have enough food and clothing, and the peace of the court is to rule the Qingming.The so-called root is not solid but seeks the strength of the tree, the source is unclear but the river is far away, the governance is not clear but the peace of the country is thought of, even the foolish people can't know it, let alone the wise and philosophical? 』

"The people of the world enjoy the importance of the country, live in a large field, hold a high position, and protect the glory of their children and heirs. However, they don't think about danger in times of peace, don't abstain from extravagance and frugality, don't be virtuous to be generous, and don't be overwhelmed by emotion. Youmu has no roots, just like water has no source, although it has a good beginning, it has no good end! 』

"Severe punishments invigorate the might and wrath, and benevolence is used to benefit future generations.Resentment does not lie in the number, but the people are to be feared. The boat is not in the wind and waves, so it is advisable to be cautious.The rotten cable of a Mercedes-Benz, can it be ignored? 』

"Punishment cannot be punished, but the doctor regards propriety as the norm. How can there be no punishment for deceiving the king at the top and the people at the bottom?"A doctor, seeing what you want, should be enough to self-discipline, will do something, should stop to comfort others, fear overflowing, when the sea is full of rivers, worry and slack, should start with respect and end, never slander evil, and be yourself to cast off evil, If you don't say that you are not punished and you are happy, you should respect yourself and reflect on yourself! 』

"Punishers do not establish a government, but they are simple and capable, and they choose what is good and follow it. The wise do their best, the brave do their best, the benevolent spread their benefits, and the believers are loyal.Only in this way can we be the leader of the people, the support of the community, and the gift of the world! 』

"..."

Pang Tong continued.

Fei Qian had already withdrawn his mind from the edict and looked at the people around him.

Distance often brings "opposition", while respect can bring "cohesion".

Facing the same thing, choosing "opposition" or "cohesion" will often have different results.For example, when the Han Dynasty faced the threat of the Western Qiang rebellion, the emperor of the dynasty was anxious to sleep and eat, but these "scholar officials" in the court thought that this was a good opportunity to force the emperor to make concessions.

Didn't the Western Qiang rebellion occupy the territory of the Han Dynasty?Aren't the victims big Han people?Isn't the emperor the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the gentry are not the gentry of the Han Dynasty?When the country as a whole has been violated and is facing threats, shouldn't we work together to outward?
Even people in Lower Liba know the truth that fathers and sons and brothers fight, and even fight to the point of death, but when foreign enemies attack, shouldn't we put aside internal conflicts and face external threats?

Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible.

Oh, it's just the responsibility of "every man", right?

"Scholar-bureaucrats" are not responsible?

When a society, a country's middle and upper management, is facing threats to the country, and at the moment of national peril, there is still a life-and-death confrontation internally, and who is it beneficial to?Still thinking about how to put on a show, how to earn some political capital for myself to go to the next level?
Xiaolian, who lies on the ice and begs carp, is an official who looks like a mouse and has skin!
What is even more frightening is that this kind of thing, such an example, was actually recorded, and it was regarded as an acceptable political method, and it became the fine tradition of these "scholar-bureaucrats" in later generations!

Then "the disaster of the party", for the sake of clearing up the name, for the sake of confrontation and confrontation.Everything the emperor did was wrong, the gentry farts are delicious, even if it is not fragrant now, the aftertaste will be fragrant!
This is the behavior of "emotional confrontation" caused by the loss of "ritual".

It's like the master of the later generations, no matter what the truth is, he only judges right or wrong by himself, if the other party says right, he must say wrong, and if the other party says wrong, he must find out what is right.

However, there is no pure gold, no one is perfect, who is perfect?This is why it is said that in the face of national peril, no one has the right to elevate their personal dissatisfaction caused by various reasons into emotional confrontation for any reason, which will cause suspicion from top to bottom and social centrifugal, thus affecting the national plan s reason.

Some people in the world are naturally timid, some have a bad temper, some are lustful, some are jealous, they can have all kinds of things, but it is such imperfect people who build the entire society and support the entire country , but in order for these imperfect people to form a community, there must be the most basic framework, which is "punishment", and above "punishment" is "ritual".

As a "scholar-bureaucrat", one should think more comprehensively than ordinary people. You should not be like ordinary people and only consider your own interests and express your own reasons. Instead, you should focus on the overall situation and represent the people!Instead of measuring yourself with the lowest standard of "punishment", if you have not violated "punishment", you are innocent!
Kong Zhongni lamented the collapse of rites and music, and later scholar-bureaucrats also lamented the collapse of rites and music, as if they could appear noble and pure, but in fact these guys cut the original sentence of Kong Zhongni, Not only did it distort the sentence "You can't get a doctor", but even the second half of the sentence was swallowed, without mentioning it at all!

This kind of behavior is harmful to the country and the people, but not beneficial!
What's more, this sentence has been distorted in more than one sense...

After Pang Tong read out the edict, it was Wei Duan, the court official of the Senate, who appeared on the stage.

Wei Duan straightened his neck, with a slightly stiff posture, and read out the latest "Law of Corruption"...

"Law of Corruption" integrates the relevant constraints on public power that were originally scattered in the Han Law, forming a relatively clear legal regulation for officials, and especially adds legal regulations for the immediate family members of officials, clarifying that officials The crime of corruption committed by the immediate family members of the family, that is, parents and wives, is equivalent to the crime of officials themselves.

All the noble children in the audience took a breath.

The second article clarifies that between officials and officials, if there is a recommendation relationship, the recommender shall be jointly and severally liable for the crime committed by the referee.This article was also included in the original Dahan law. At first, it was to detect the loopholes in the system. Crying bitterly means seeing the wrong person, and it's over.

Now, the recommender has to bear at least half of the culpability of the recommendee, and it may even lead to consecutive sittings.

Then these gentry children took a second breath of cold air...

Article [-]: All officials who are dismissed and serve sentences because of the "Law of Corruption" not only cannot be officials themselves, but also their sons and grandsons cannot be officials within three generations!
This is the so-called "Punisher is not on the king's side"!
There was another third breath of cold air at the scene, and many people coughed because of the cold and dry air in the first month, inhaling a large amount in a short period of time...

These regulations are obviously unfair, but they are actually fair.Fei Qian is even considered "merciful". In later generations, failing a political trial is not just a crime of corruption and dereliction of duty, but failing to pass all crimes!

Needless to say, these three additional rules are indeed somewhat unfair, but not everything in this world is fair, and it is impossible to find an absolutely fair theoretical system to subdue the world, let alone when a society, a country When one does not know what "ritual" is, there is naturally no integrity between people.At this time, that is to say, when a society or a country cannot use "rituals" to regulate behavior, it can only use "punishment" to govern.

"If you don't know etiquette, you can't stand up!" 』

Fei Qian stood up and slowly looked at the audience.

"A gentleman establishes people, and a villain establishes affairs."It is not as good as the gentlemen here who have read poetry and books and are familiar with the Five Classics, so they can only use the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman. 』

"Those who set up others restrain themselves and know the propriety, those who set up affairs indulge themselves and make mistakes."A certain was born in the army, and he knows that military affairs are the most important thing in the country.As a general, you should know how to advance and retreat, fight openly, set up flags and drums, and fight against yellow sand. If there is a loss, thousands of lives will be lost, and even the family and country will be humiliated, and the community will be lost. 』

"That's why we fight together, fighting hard for the soldiers, lest we lose our ranks and harm our ranks, those who are the school are wise, lest we neglect orders and hinder progress, and tread cautiously on the ice for the generals, lest we make mistakes. The blade of the country's death!If a soldier harms his opponent, behead him!If the school hinders the advancer, cut it off!Those who will destroy the country will be beheaded! 』

"Then... military law is ruthless, national law... May I ask everyone, is Bento sympathetic?" 』

The voices of the crowd in the audience, who were cheering, gradually fell silent.

On the high platform, flags are flying.

Sunlight fell from the sky and shone on Fei Qian.

After careful polishing, each piece of the bright light armor shines, at this moment, Fei Qian seems to be shining all over the body, shining in all directions.

Fei Qian said a very simple truth, which is also an irrefutable reason.

From ancient times to the present, the Chinese nation has been facing crises and threats all the time. As a member of the Chinese people, if they don't know how to unite and order, they are just a gentleman in words and a villain in action. , then it is difficult to guarantee the inheritance of Huaxia.

It is precisely because everyone is impossibly perfect and has such and such shortcomings and faults, so it is necessary to emphasize the "punishment" that must be strictly observed, and the "propriety" that must be pursued. It is necessary to see that everyone The benign side of everyone should also see the bad side of everyone. We should not cover up our mistakes and avoid medical treatment, so that we can have the courage to face our own imperfections, the imperfections of the society and the country, and improve step by step until we are better every day. Can be more progress, more perfect.

"Therefore, the officials of townships and towns are like soldiers. They should maintain their ranks and protect their formations. The officials of counties and counties are like schools. Defend the country and protect the border!If the soldiers are lazy and the generals are lazy, what should we do?When X and Wei Yuan were enacting this decree, they already had benevolent hearts, and their rewards were reduced or exempted. If it is true in terms of military law...』

Fei Qian was just standing there, not intending to debate with these gentry children in the audience, he said a few words, expressed his position, explained some reasons, and signaled Sima Yi to come up and read out the first batch Confirmed "Criminal List" of Corruption and Malfeasance.

This also means that there is a second batch, a third batch, or a list that is under review.

This is what was originally planned, and it is also the last straw that overwhelms these agitated gentry children...

The so-called "large-scale public trial" is of course impossible to plead guilty on the spot in front of the public. Instead, it is very simple to read the crime, using the simplest and most straightforward language, so that all the people present, including the children of the gentry and Ordinary people can understand it.

Just like at the moment of Qinglong Temple, and it happens to be in the middle of the first month, before the busy time of spring plowing, these people from all over the world, under the mentality of watching the excitement, crowded the surrounding area of ​​the square and high platform of Qinglong Temple. fully.At the beginning, whether it was Pang Tong or Wei Duan, they were more or less polite when they preached. Even when Fei Qian came forward to explain, they couldn't be said to be very straightforward, but when it came to Sima Yi, they were replaced by ordinary people. The most shallow language that can be understood...

In addition, he wanted to make it bigger. When Sima Yi announced the crimes of Lianto Tian, ​​Linjing Zhao, Nanzheng Zhang, Guanghan Li, etc., although there was no loudspeaker for later generations, he was specially equipped with it. Simultaneous transmission by soldiers with loud voices is enough for the surrounding people to clearly hear every crime committed by these people.

When it comes to the various bastard behaviors of these people, including but not limited to accepting bribes, harming the people, taking bribes and breaking the law, conspiracy and sabotage, etc., especially the link of asking the victims to testify, and these victims are ordinary people, when these When witnesses burst into tears and sternly accuse, it is easy to inspire the common people's mentality of fighting against each other.

The people turned their fear of being hurt into endless hatred. Amidst the screams and questioning of the victims, coupled with the intentional guidance hidden in the crowd, the hatred of the surrounding people was aroused like a volcanic eruption. It broke out, curses and slogans, one after another, one wave after another.

The gentry disciples who wanted to say something or refute at first, now looked around with ashen faces, and they even started to feel a little scared. The surrounding people waved their arms and gnashed their teeth, as if only Fei Qian on the stage would make a move. , these people will swarm up and tear them into pieces!

Under such circumstances, these gentry children finally lowered their heads, clamped their tails tightly, and shrunk their stature as much as possible, lest one accidentally be harmed, and of course it was even more impossible for them to have the courage to stand up to these "criminals." 』What did you say...

At this time, some of the gentry's children suddenly discovered that these ordinary people can cry, shout, scream, and get angry...

It would be... so scary.
