Chapter 101: The Law of Peaceful Reconciliation in the World?

"When this exam, can the examiner still come to comment on the answer sheet?" Chen Zhi was suddenly stopped, but it was not because of Lu Ying's question, but was surprised that the other party, as the examiner, could comment on the exam sheet on the spot so casually.

But I immediately understood.

"Yes, I have preconceived ideas. It's not the imperial examination now, but a private examination. The rules are incomplete and there is no mandatory nature. Moreover, the rules are the final say of these people in front of me..."

Lu Ying didn't know that Chen Zhi was surprised by the flaws of the examination system, and thought that the other party was stopped by him. He felt relieved and smiled lightly: "I heard from the words of several uncles. I know that you are a talented man in Pengcheng, so you might as well think about it more and don't just try to be fast."

After he said this, many of the aristocratic families who answered the questions looked over, and when they saw that it was Chen Zhi, they couldn't help but make eye contact.

Chen Zhi has emerged in the past two days, and his reputation has gradually become popular among the people. It is just a topic of conversation after dinner. However, in the circle of the younger generation of gentry, it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied, which hinders their cultivation and face and are unwilling to express it easily. However, when the examiner comes forward, he will inevitably have the idea of ​​gloating and gloating.

"Chen Zhi just turned around because of a public case."

"Writing well does not mean that you have high knowledge."

"I don't know how he attracted the attention of the examiner."

After everyone communicated with their eyes, they continued to answer the questions, but they found some attention and paid attention to the changes in the situation.

When Lu Ying asked this question, it was not intentionally difficult, but because he gave this question, and the original intention was to reflect the meaning of forgiveness.

This question obtains the example of Jiangdong, which tells about the incidents of Emperor Xiaohuai and Liu Chan.

At that time, someone from the Shanyue clan tribe treason rebelled. The court dispatched a large army to quell the rebellion and captured the rebellion. The prison was overcrowded. Emperor Xiaohuai sent someone to investigate. The officials who reviewed the investigation only convicted the dozen people led and released all the others.

Lu Ying used this as a topic to express the concept of "Prisoning should be based on forgiveness".

This is in line with Emperor Jing of Han’s spirit of “Prisoners must be lenient first”.

The idea is broad and it is also related to the words of the emperors of the Han Dynasty, and it is upright.

As a result, when Chen Zhi answered, the first sentence was "If the law does not work, it will be violated by the superiors." What is the origin of this statement?

Originated from Shang Yang's reforms.

The law is formulated but not enforced, and it is often damaged by the legal basis because the upper class does not obey it.

It was said that the crown prince of Qin had violated the law, and he was the crown prince and was the foundation of the country and could not be moved. However, Shang Yang was unwilling to be empty in the law, so he punished the crown prince's teacher. From then on, all the Qin State obeyed the law.

This is a strict method of conduct and is unkind. In the eyes of today's people, it is inevitable that they are a bit unkind. When moving forward, those who insist on this method will be regarded as cruel officials.

When Lu Ying saw his question, Chen Zhi was naturally unhappy.

After his initial surprise, Chen Zhi bowed calmly and replied: "Although the love is understandable, the law is difficult to forgive. If the legal system is sound, kill it if it should be killed, release it if it should be released. Killing must be in accordance with the law, but there should be release it if it should be released, at least there should be punishment, which clearly states that future generations will not be a bad thing in the long run, even if they lose a city because of this."

Lu Ying frowned and shook his head and said, "Your sentence is about Wei Sijun asking King Wei for a fugitive [Note 1]. It is inevitable that there is something inappropriate here."

The two of them spoke, and everyone around them smelled a trace of gunpowder.

"This Chen Zhi was impulsive and actually debated with the examiner."

"What a person Lu Ying is? He told him that he is asking for trouble."

"The good show is here, let's watch it."

Peng Lin shook his head slightly, a little disappointed. He wanted to rely on this screening to distinguish between Chen Zhi in terms of knowledge, but looking at this, if Chen Zhi annoys the examiner, the consequences can be imagined.

The most anxious person is undoubtedly Chen Xuan, Chen Shu, and the Chen Mansion has already given up a quota. If Chen Zhi, the most promising child, has another problem, he will really not be able to go back and explain.

Unfortunately, no matter how anxious they are, they dare not speak out for reminders.

Not far away, other examiners also noticed the situation, and Liu Kan and Zhang Yong had already come over.

At this moment, Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Examiner Lu, I also know that the matter mentioned in the question is that you also said, 'Prison management should be based on forgiveness'. To make prisoners clear about their crimes, simply put, it is to convince them. However, in this case, it mentioned that Shanyue was released, but they were not convinced. After they were released, they rebelled again."

"Things are not as simple as you think," Lu Ying seemed to have joined Chen Zhigang, and he was determined to convince this person. "If you have peace in Shanyue matters, how can you make a decision easily? Of course, you must be gentle. At that time, Wuhou and Chen Hou had acted to relieve the enemy's influence. Chen Hou's strategy of governing the barbarians also mentioned that culture, civil and military affairs should be promoted first, and this is proof."

Chen Zhi shook his head: "The key to resolving the enemy's influence is to untie the enemy's knots. Shanyue had been withheld for many years, so why did he rebel again? It was because the generals of the defense at that time killed good people and took credit for their achievements! The sentence I wrote, "If the law is not good, I will offend it from above" was not against Shanyue, but the general who garrisoned the army that year, who failed to suppress the bandits, killed Shanyue people and demanded credit, and thus forced these people to rebel."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "That general is a child of a large clan, so the court did not pursue his crimes. Instead, he killed the leader of Shanyue. He also tried to use the method of kindness and power and the art of gentleness to calm down the Shanyue clan. You either killed the garrison general and quell the anger of Shanyue, or killed all the rebels, understand the punishment of the righteous and righteous decree, and want to please both sides, it will be inevitable that they will not be up or down, and they will not be clean. It is better not to do it! How can you achieve the law of both worlds?"

This time it was Lu Ying's turn to be stunned.

Chen Zhi ignored him and continued, "Indulging in the sinners is that 'the law does not work, and it is violated by the superiors'. In this way, how can people believe you? Once this example is opened, a counterexample is set for the people of the world. Shang Yang's reforms, the prince must let the teacher commit crimes on behalf of others in order to convince the people of the world. If the law is only in common clothes and separated from the great clan, how many people can be restrained?"

This is more implicit. After all, Chen Zhi is a member of the gentry and is surrounded by children of a large family. Even if the social atmosphere is relaxed and he does not pay much attention to the crime of speech, he is too explicit and cannot guarantee that he will not be angry with the public.

Sure enough, Lu Ying immediately shook his head and retorted: "I don't know where you heard the rumors, but that's not the case..."

"What a worldly way of achieving both worlds!"

Wang Kui was at the two of them at some point, and was a little surprised by Chen Zhi's extensive knowledge.

He had read several books by historians and knew the reason for the rebellion of Shanyue during the reign of Emperor Huai, and this matter involved the Zhang family in Jiangdong.

During the reign of Emperor Huai, the Zhang family was a top wealthy family. The clan members caused trouble. The court had to first clear the blame of the Zhang family and then suppress the rebellion. Because the matter was very involved and other aristocratic families were dissatisfied, they eventually took lenient measures. In the records of the court historians, of course, this section would be hidden by the Spring and Autumn style.

Wang Kui knew this because he was a northern aristocratic family and was not taboo about the dark history of the southern aristocratic families. As a child of Jiangdong, Lu Ying and the Lu family and Zhang family behind him were family friends. Under the control of public opinion, he had never heard of these.

As soon as Wang Kui spoke, Mr. Guijing also came over and nodded, "It's this." He looked at Chen Zhi's answer sheet, his eyes lit up immediately. He was surprised by the wonderful font, and nodded: "There is nothing wrong with Chen Zhi's answer like this."

When Mr. Guijing said that, Lu Ying could only pinch his nose and recognize him.

He was a talented man from Jiangdong. He learned and learned from his family's collection of books, and he also studied under several academies, but the information he obtained was controlled and could not be omniscient.

The Jiangdong family blocked each other's ugliness and made such a mistake.

When this matter was asked, Wang Kui discovered the problem. But he thought that ordinary children from aristocratic families could know these secrets. Therefore, they did not correct them, so they could not be resisted by Lu Ying and ruined the harmony. Unexpectedly, someone pointed out the problem in the exam room.

But as a result, Lu Ying was a little embarrassed, which made Wang Kui worried, for fear that Chen Zhi and Lu Ying would have a conflict.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ying said to Chen Zhi: "I was wrong about Brother Taiwan. If this is the case, then I got the wrong question, and Brother Taiwan answered it correctly."

He admitted his mistake calmly, which surprised everyone. After all, Lu Ying was not old and had such a status and fame. If he didn't have a little arrogance, it would be strange.

Especially the children of aristocratic families, their eyes widened.

In this screening test, the examiner bowed his head to a candidate and admitted his mistake. What happened?

"Can Lu Ying bow his head so easily? His Jiangdong family is not like this style of conduct!"

Sure enough, after Lu Ying finished speaking, the topic changed: "However, I have a little different view on strict law and forgiveness. I want to ask my brother for advice."

Chen Zhi made an invitation: "Brother Lu, but it's okay..."

"Okay, Brother Chen, please listen..." Lu Ying cleared his throat and became energetic.

Then, these two men were just like Brother Chen and Brother Lu’s name, and they debated as if no one else was around. What they said became more and more extensive, attracting several other examiners.

Chen Zhi has books of previous life experiences and memories, but Lu Ying's family has a unique origin and is unique. The two of them go back and forth, citing scriptures and classics, which made Liu Kan and others listen with relish. Even Mr. Guijing nodded from time to time, and his eyes gradually showed surprise when he looked at Chen Zhi.

"I thought that no one in Pengcheng's younger generation could compare with Lu Ying, but I didn't expect that there was such a piece of uncensored jade hidden..."

However, the examiners gathered together to discuss and debate, which made the children of the aristocratic families who were answering questions stunned.

Is this exam still underway?

What's the matter with your examiner and a candidate calling him brother?
Chapter completed!
