"Confucians use literature to disrupt the law, and chivalrous men use martial arts to break the ban, and the rulers also practice ritual, which is why they are chaotic. Husbands who deviate from the law commit crimes, while gentlemen use literature to learn, and those who break the ban are punished, while heroes use private swords to support them."
This passage comes from Han Feizi's "Five Worms".
Moth, which means worm, is extended to be a moth that harms the country and the people. Han Fei called Confucian scholars and rangers "worms", which shows the depth of his aversion.
Whether Han Fei's argument is correct or not is not for debate, but he advocates a point of view that has been valued by those in power since ancient times, that is, order.
From ancient times to the present, the Xia Kingdom has its own social characteristics in each period, and its ideology and legal norms are also different.
In the original social environment, the previous norms can stabilize the order, but as the environment changes, a new inequality emerges that can cause complaints in a small way and shake the fundamentals in a big way—the individual differences between monks and ordinary people.
This is not like the class gap in the past, you have money, I don't have money, you have power, I don't have power, this is a gap in life level, just like people and ants.
Officials are not stupid. They have been thinking about this issue since the moment Taoism emerged. It's just that at that time, the exploration of the new world was the main focus, and the number of monks was very small, and it was not a social phenomenon.
But now it is different, the general situation is basically clear, Phoenix Mountain and the Taoist Temple are accepting disciples, and the population base is increasing, which naturally converges into a phenomenon.
Of course, it is impossible for the official to bring up such a matter, so as not to anger someone. So Xiao Zhai said, they have been waiting for us to make mistakes, that's what it means.
Dongyun, in a certain hotel.
This is a large suite. The four of Tang Bole were politely sent to the city by the police, and they have been locked up here. Three meals were provided, and no one pressured the interrogation.
It has been a day since I have been engaged in posting, and the panic period has passed, and the rest is my own mind.
"Brother Le, don't worry, the mountain will definitely protect us."
It was a petite girl who spoke, and she was the one who shouted at that time, we are from Phoenix Mountain!
"That person is not a good thing at first glance, and you are also a chivalrous man."
"Besides, you didn't do it on purpose, it was just a momentary miss."
Although they are all trying to comfort them, their performances are different. One is genuinely worried about it, one is confident, and the other is secretly glad that he didn't do anything, otherwise he would be an accomplice.
"I'm fine, I just want to be quiet."
Sitting on the sofa, Tang Bole replied blankly.
At the age of twenty, killing anyone is a big deal. He had a bright future in the mountains, was praised by everyone, and he was a little bit flustered, but he fell to the ground overnight, his head was empty, and he didn't have any thoughts.
"Okay then, let's go first."
Seeing this, the three of them stopped talking and went into the room. At this moment, there was a creaking sound, the door opened, and a woman came in.
She was tall and imposing, and the four of them didn't dare to look at each other when they glanced at her.
"I'm Jiang Xiaozhai."
Hiss!
Surprised, they stood at attention, just about to pay respects, but they were lifted up by a force.
"No, I'm just asking something."
Xiao Zhai leaned back on the sofa and said, "You guys will go through the whole story, don't forget every detail and every sentence."
"yes!"
The four of them paused for a moment, and it was Tang Bole who spoke again and explained in detail. After hearing this, Xiao Zhai quickly sorted out the logic and asked, "You said he turned around suddenly, do you know the reason?"
"Uh, he kicked me with his right leg before, and it was a little inconvenient due to the force of the shock."
"Is there no outsider playing tricks?"
"Probably not, we haven't found any other breath."
Xiao Zhai nodded, and said: "From the current point of view, you are negligently causing death, and there is no subjective intentional element. According to the law, it is more than three years and less than seven years, or less than three years if the circumstances are less serious."
Tang Bole was a little stunned, he didn't understand what she was talking about, did she have to hand herself over
Xiao Zhai didn't explain, and said again: "Do you know what mistake you made?"
"I, I shouldn't kill people..." He replied in a low voice, not knowing what to do.
"Hehe, you still don't understand!"
Xiao Zhai shook his head, and said: "Playing in the world of mortals, happy and happy, I understand, everyone has such thoughts. But before you act, you must think carefully. You let him kick you to calm down the bumping, Where did this mentally retarded idea come from? And later on, when you see that man's rogue domestic violence, you can't get angry, and you want to punish him, which is even more stupid.
You either don't care about this kind of thing, or you have to manage it to the end.
If you play him around, that man will lose face in public and dare not do anything to you. He will only vent his anger on his wife. After returning home, he will definitely get worse. Isn't it your fault that the woman suffers
You can either ignore her at the time, kill her behind her back, place the woman properly, or let her fend for herself. Either find the local government and rescue her. The name of Phoenix Mountain is still useful, and they will not just sit idly by.
And you chose the stupidest method! "
Hiss!
Tang Bole was in a cold sweat, it was different from what he had imagined, the idea of the master in front of him was a little scary.
"Okay, now that you've gotten into trouble, there's been a wave of trouble, and we're dealing with it. Just stay here and reflect on yourself."
Xiao Zhai stood up, turned to the petite girl, and said, "You said that you are under the Phoenix Mountain Gate?"
"me… "
The girl swayed and almost knelt down to kowtow.
"You write it down yourself first, and then settle the account after the rules are established."
Xiao Zhai wiped his body and left, "You three, follow me back!"
…
Qianzhou, Tianzhu Mountain.
After more than four years of development, Tianzhu Mountain has long bid farewell to the previous form of tourism industry, but has become a complex industrial center centered on Taoist temples, scientific research bases, and mining areas, radiating the surrounding three counties and twelve towns. The population is in the millions.
For example, Tianmen Town at the foot of the mountain has now expanded in scale, half of which are aborigines, and half are the spouses and children of the staff, and even a new school has been built, properly forming a "big family courtyard".
The sun is just right today, the temperature is moderate, and the residents are as busy as usual. No one noticed a golden light streaking across the sky and falling into the mountains.
"Shhhhh!"
A bird fluttered its wings and landed on someone's shoulder carefully and intimately. Feeling the extremely comfortable and natural atmosphere, it couldn't help rubbing its little furry head against his cheek.
"Shhhhh!"
Gu Yu gently scratched its chin, and teased it for a while like a cat, before the bird reluctantly flew away.
"Tsk, I seem to be very popular with birds, which is not a good sign."
He shook his head, expressing his dissatisfaction, followed by lifting his foot to the ground, striding a long distance in one step, and said as he walked, "Gu Yu came to worship the mountain!"
Come-come-worship-mountain!
The six words penetrated the dense forest and passed directly to Zhuling. After about a few breaths, I heard "Dang Dang Dang!"
As the big bell struck twelve times, the whole monastery started to move, and all kinds of people shuttled through it, in a hurry but not chaotically. Gu Yu took a stroll in the courtyard, and soon reached the foot of Zhuling, and took another look.
Ho!
The Taoists on both sides waited and went straight up the cloud steps, followed by the opening of the mountain gate, thirty-five friends rushed out, and it was Lu Yuanqing who led the way.
"It's impolite to visit rashly."
"If it's anywhere, please come inside!"
Speaking of it, this was Gu Yu's first visit to the Taoist monastery, so everyone naturally paid attention to it. After a few pleasantries, everyone sat down in the hall. Gu Yu and Lu Yuanqing were headed together, and thirty-four people sat on the left and right.
Wu Shan also has a seat, although a wine cup occupies a chair, which looks a bit funny.
"Come here suddenly, one is to visit Senior Wu, and the other is to discuss important matters."
Gu Yu didn't talk nonsense, and asked, "Have you heard about the murder?"
"I heard it a little bit."
"What do you think?"
"It depends on the rules of the family, or the law." Lu Yuanqing was not slick, and told the truth.
"Senior Wu, what do you think?" He asked again.
Wu Shan obviously knew what happened, and said: "Cultivating the Tao does not violate the harmony of heaven, but it does not mean that you do not kill. Those scoundrels were killed in ancient times. Now I don't understand, and I don't like to judge."
"Hehe, why don't you just do it."
Gu Yu bowed his hand to the wine cup and said: "I also say bluntly, first of all, my disciples made mistakes, and manslaughter is also killing. They should be punished, and I will not cover them up. But I have some ideas about what standards should be punished, so I came forward specially. Come and discuss with you."
"You mean..." Lu Yuanqing's heart moved, and he already had some guesses.
"Ordinary people's crimes are governed by the law, and monks' crimes, who is in charge? The law pays attention to fairness and equality, but it is based on the previous social environment. To put it bluntly, the sentence of ten or twenty years is a snap for monks. , but there is a quiet place to practice. No rules, no rules, I agree, and I also hope to have a relatively stable order. But I think the existing standards are not suitable, not only Phoenix Mountain, but also your Taoist monastery. Including tens of thousands of monks in the future are all related to this."
Gu Yu paused, and continued: "Although the Taoist Academy is supported by the government, you should participate independently in this matter. You, us, them... the new rules will be decided by the three parties."
…
"Joint invitation from Phoenix Mountain and Taoist Academy?"
In the capital, the old man's expression was very surprised, and then he returned to normal. He said with a smile: "Those people wanted to take the opportunity to beat them, but they didn't want them to be more ruthless, so they just broke and stood up. It's interesting."
"Don't be funny! The Taoist Academy unexpectedly took the initiative to act this time. Is there something tricky?" the subordinate said.
"No, this matter is indeed of great importance, and it is understandable for them to be willing to do it."
The old man didn't know what to think of, and suddenly sighed: "I still think we are very lucky, we didn't run into a group of unreasonable and brainless lunatics and fools. But each has a different position, and there are bound to be disputes, so we can only try to keep it as stable as possible, and share the situation with each other." This matter is not within the scope of my authority, and it is inconvenient for me to take care of it... Oh, by the way, you should remind those people that the public opinion offensive should stop, and it is nothing to look for!"
