Ran Min was forced.
What he did was not enough. Can the reform be carried out smoothly? Why did Wang Meng, the initiator of the political reform, support the opposition himself?
See Wang Meng sink a way "big king law ungrateful but law is not the whole heart! Before Gao Yu’s death was found out, Cat was the king of sin and could not take him to the prison! "
Thank you for typing "Giant Panda Literature" in the search engine.
Chapter 349 The law does not punish the heart.
Chapter 35 Rule by Man and Rule by Law
The Ran Min was still very stupid, so he left the Raptors in Jianzhang Palace and talked about it.
"Jinglue today big meeting you in the article over there? If I want to make Qiang Bing a rich country, I have to change the law. If I change the law, I have to implement the equal land system. If I want to implement the equal land system smoothly and have a significant effect, I have to conduct a census. If I want to do a real census, I have to push down the gentry! "
"But the cremation will never cooperate with the implementation of the equal land system and will not let us conduct a census smoothly. They don’t know how many people have been hiding for so many years! This time, Gao Yu’s death is an opportunity for me to eradicate the patriarch’s supervision system and the aristocratic strongmen and castles! "
Ran Min some indignation some don’t understand it took so much effort to catch the Yingchuan Chen braid is trying to expand the influence of this event to make a fuss about the cremation of dock fort hand but Wang Meng this fellow how don’t cooperate at all but also against him?
Wang Meng light shook his head. "Your majesty, please forgive me for telling the truth about this. Your majesty, what you have done is really unkind. This is the essence of legalism and this is the essence of reform! "
"What does this mean?" Ran Min was puzzled.
Wang Meng and Kan Kan said, "Your Majesty, you can’t rely on your own subjective speculation to determine whether a good or bad behavior is a criterion for judging a person’s merits and demerits. Once published, orders or decrees will be strictly enforced. If they are violated, they will be punished according to law!"
"Now Gao Yu is really dead in Chenwu Castle. This is a fact, but it’s not conclusive evidence. To convict a person, it needs conclusive evidence to make it a family. But all the witnesses are talking about refutation? But your majesty, you didn’t. You are relying on subjective speculation, with a mercy and a mercy. Isn’t this adding a lot of resistance to our political reform? "
Also added resistance to the reform?
Ran Min is puzzled.
However, Ran Min has already understood the meaning that law does not punish the heart.
It is one of the important thoughts of legalists in the Warring States period that "the law does not punish the whole heart, but only talks about it."
The law does not punish the heart, and the crime is not a crime.
The application of "the law does not punish the heart, but only the words and deeds" in judicial practice has effectively clarified whether forgiving thoughts and words constitute a crime.
In short, to determine whether a person has committed a crime depends on whether his words and deeds are legal. It is forbidden for the law not to punish, but to punish those words and deeds that are harmful to reality and violate the law.
Wang Meng continued, "Your Majesty’s French stipulates that no crime is in the law, no punishment is in the heart, and the idea of words and deeds guides Rao Xin’s thought, which is not against the law and has not been written into the law. Even if some people advocate punishing ideological dangerous acts, the government should be legally prescribed according to the presumption of guilt rather than guilt."
"The law can prohibit Rao’s words and deeds, but the law imprisons Rao’s thoughts. For everyone, there are always active and dangerous thoughts. For example, if we have a conflict with someone or something makes us angry, we will have the idea of killing each other a hundred times, but the fact is that it is a moment of anger and we will be ashamed of having such thoughts after we calm down."
"If the law punishes the crime of forgiving the mind, I’m afraid there is no one in the world who doesn’t commit a crime. If the law doesn’t punish the mind, words and deeds can effectively prevent people with ulterior motives from venting their anger, retaliating and persecuting others in the name of law."
Looking at Ran Min’s incomprehensible appearance, Wang Meng smiled. "Do you understand the king’s ministers so much?"
Ran Min said for a moment, "I know that you and I know that a monarch should be physically fit, but he shouldn’t abuse his position to get personal revenge and detain the criminal case in a spare head without authorization."
Wang Meng nodded nothing.
Ran Min got up and bowed to Wang Meng. "Listening to your words is better than studying for ten years. I know this is something I shouldn’t do, but I want the new law to be implemented smoothly. It’s a last resort!"
"this is not an excuse for your majesty to impose blame on others."
Wang Meng sighed faintly and said, "The king should know that legalists advocate the rule of law rather than the rule of man."
"oh? This rule of law? Rule by man? "
"Mencius said,’ A benevolent monarch is merciless, a righteous monarch is righteous, and a righteous monarch is a righteous monarch, and the country is determined.’ The idea of governing the country by relying on moral sages through moral influence"
"Confucianism attaches importance to the rule of man and advocates that politics is based on benevolence and law, but it is indispensable for those in power to act if their bodies are not ordered, although they are not ordered."
"The rule of man advocates that the monarch should be virtuous and benevolent, and Shang Xian enables capable officials to implement the rule of courtesy, the rule of civil and military affairs, and the policy of cloth, and then the political action of the person will be the realm of political interest."
"In short, it is advocated to combine the rule of man with the rule of virtue. Confucius said,’ The rule of man is based on courtesy and the rule of Wang Chengdao, and the rule of man is based on morality. It is a kind of sage politics. Is this what the king wants? "
"No, this is not what I want." Ran Min shook his head decisively.
Wang Meng added, "It is not impossible to make Qiang Bing rich by advocating the rule of man, but its limitations are limited. Unless a virtuous monarch is in power, it is impossible for a country to be strong. For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huangong and the Warring States Period, Qi Weiwang all relied on the rule of man to make the country strong, but they were not rich for three generations. As soon as they died, the country gradually declined."
"Also? It is because of advocating this kind of national policy that the monarch has died and succeeding to the monarch has implemented another kind of national policy, so this is a political move! "
"On the contrary, it is the rule of law, the rule of man and the rule of law. The freshest example is the State of Qin during the Warring States Period! Qin Xiaogong’s reform of Shang Yang made the State of Qin leap from a country on the verge of extinction to the seven heroes of the Warring States in just a few decades. Later, Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, courageously challenged Yu Liezhen for a long time, and Yu Yu swallowed for two weeks, and the princes died, and the Liuhe held the knocks and lashed the world. "
"After Qi Huangong Qiu qi thinks it will fall? However, it was after the death of Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang that the State of Qin became stronger and stronger, which lasted for more than a hundred years. This is the difference between the rule of man and the rule of law! "
Wang hurled a tunnel: "The decree can continue to be carried out while people are still in power, but the decree will no longer exist when people die!"! The rule of law is that the national policy of life and death remains unchanged, even if there is a mediocre king, the country can still be strong! The decree can continue to be implemented! "
Rule by man means rule by virtue.
In ancient China, the rule of virtue and the rule of law were two different ideas of governing the country, but in fact, no dynasty made a single strategy of governing the country based on it, but the differences were different.
At the same time, we should also see that many times the rule of virtue and the rule of law are actually manifested in three situations.
First, the emperor’s morality and law are the same in most historical periods. This is a typical rule of man. This is divided into two situations. The monarch advocates the rule of virtue. Then most of them can take the name of Renzong and Xiaozong and advocate the rule of law. It is complicated. For example, Qin Huang and Emperor Yangdi are limited to space and will not be discussed here.
Second, the rule of law is the rule of virtue. This situation is generally that the monarch is weaker or other powerful than the emperor, such as Cao Cao.
Third, what is the rule of virtue and the rule of law? In the period of Dezong and Ningzong, the emperor may have Confucianism and weakness as well as ministers.
In ancient China, although the strategy of Confucian governance and rule of law was based on the fact that Confucianism tended to be good and Legalists tended to be evil before human nature, they tried to rely on ideological education (moral education) or legal punishment (law) to govern the country, but it was finally strengthened that the monarch’s core ruling structure changed, and the strategy of governing the country would be variable
Therefore, most of the dynasties that can inherit and adhere to the strategy of governing the country by the first emperor will not be bad, such as Wenjing ruling benevolence and Xuanzhi.
Ran Min finally listened to Wang Meng’s so much truth, so he let people release Cat’s sin.
"Jinglue, but I hate the patriarch’s supervision system, or do you want to eradicate all the docks and liberate the hidden population?" Ran Min humbly coachable.
Smell speech Wang Meng light say with smile "the king also don’t think white? The representative of the King is the imperial court, or the monarch of the State of Wei, who eradicated the dock fort and liberated the hidden population. This is justice, and the King will secretly engage in these intrigues. Forgive me for telling you the truth, the king can send troops to ask the cremation to destroy the barriers themselves and release the slaves. "
Ran Min suddenly shine at the moment when he heard this!
Yeah!
What a clever mistake! Why are you so hesitant?
You know, it’s not uncommon for history to eradicate the Woodcastle dynasty.
After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty ordered the destruction of the dock castle, but it was forbidden.
Since then, there have been wars against dock castles in various dynasties, which are far from Jie Zhao, Shile and Shi Hu have spared no effort to break dock castles in all parts of the Central Plains.
Even Ran Min’s grandfather and father used to be beggars. The general resisted the invasion of Zhao in the dock!
