Parading through the streets was not a big blow to ordinary criminals, but it was fatal to all scholars, and the deterrent effect on the scholars watching was greater than the death penalty.
Scholars value their literary reputation the most, and parading them through the streets would be a devastating blow to their literary reputation.
Since the introduction of the imperial examination system, any scholar who was paraded through the streets would not be promoted in rank, no matter how talented they were before.
Among the ten old men in the Hanlin Academy, there is a former genius, the top scholar in a country, but because he offended a semi-saint family, he was sentenced to parade through the streets for a day. He was destined to become a great scholar, but he has remained in the Hanlin Academy. He has used countless ways to hone himself, and even cultivated a Jinshi war poem to the fourth level, with power infinitely close to that of a great scholar's war poem, but his literary rank has never been able to break through.
To the extent that he often acted crazy and was called Crazy Old Man.
This crazy old man once participated in the famous Mitani Battles and won a victory which was extremely rare.
The more famous the mad old man became, the more the scholars feared parading him through the streets, as it was a punishment enough to destroy a genius.
Depriving him of his official title, parading him through the streets, and exiling him for decades were three crimes at once. This was rare in human history, especially when it was committed against a man who had not even reached the age of twenty.
Right and wrong is no longer the focus of everyone's attention. The focus is that the teenagers and children who saw this scene secretly vowed that they would never fall to this point because of bullying in the academy.
While the five criminals were being paraded through the streets, Fang Yun wrote out two sets of documents, one being "Brief Description of the Criminal Case" and the other "Brief Description of the Civil Case".
These two sets of books not only clearly define what is a criminal case and what is a civil case, but also provide the criteria for determination, the law enforcement and trial process, give sentencing ranges, and even detail the differences between countries and ancient places.
Although these two plans are far inferior to the perfect laws of later generations, they are most suitable for the current situation of Shengyuan Continent. They are a big step beyond this era, but they are based on the legalist and Confucian theories of this era.
After Yu Bachi, Xia Jingen and other Legalist disciples received the two sets of documents, they were all stunned after flipping through a few pages, and then they continued reading after coming to their senses.
Although the name is "Brief Description", the unprecedented charges, the well-reasoned judgment criteria, and the "Case Trial Procedure Specifications (Interim)" in the appendix, although they did not overthrow the Legalists, almost reached the level of reform!
Reforms cover many aspects of a country and have a huge impact on it. Reforms like Li Kui, Wu Qi, Shang Yang, etc., were all reforms by great men before they became saints. Even the lowest level of reforms was a means for a prime minister to attack a great Confucian scholar or even a semi-saint!
Fang Yun’s innovation this time did not reach the level of legal reform in terms of height, but it was no less than those reforms in terms of breadth. This change was enough to affect the entire human race!
Before the Grand Secretary of the Criminal Court who was secretly protecting Fang Yun could make a move, a great scholar of higher status appeared out of nowhere. He stretched out his hand without any formality, and two sets of documents automatically flew into his hands.
"Although these two plans cannot be included in the Holy Temples like the Three Character Classic, they are enough to be listed in the Criminal Hall and guard the fortune of the Legalists! I will personally pass them on."
Fang Yun and the others were stunned at first. Then they took a closer look and realized that the person being secretly protected this time was not the great scholar Ye Hongyu, who was listening to thunder, but the old great scholar Zhou Qingtian who controlled the Wanjun Wentai, the Three Kingdoms Wentai and the Four Extremes Ancient Sword.
Fang Yun was soon relieved. The great scholars were all very busy. It was impossible for them to protect him secretly all the time. Only those great scholars who had free time or reached a bottleneck in their cultivation would come and take turns to protect him.
"Meet Mr. Sunny!"
"Meet Mr. Zhou!"
Everyone greeted him one after another.
Zhou Qingtian nodded. He pointed his index finger in the direction of the County Academy of Literature's Holy Temple, and vertical ripples appeared with his fingertip as the center and continued to spread.
Then a white light bridge came from the holy temple, landed on Zhou Qingtian's fingertips, and took away the two sets of documents.
The bridge of light carrying the two documents quickly retracted to the sky above the holy temple.
Then everyone looked up in the direction of the holy temple, and saw a white light bridge extending thousands of miles at an incredible speed in an instant, the front end disappeared into the sky, and reached the holy temple directly.
Xia Jingen was stunned for a moment, and blurted out involuntarily: "Could it be the first-class saint? Wucuo Novel Network has many words"
Upon hearing this, Yu Bachi shuddered and whispered, "It shouldn't be possible. Except for Chen Qingzhi who defeated 100,000 barbarians with 3,000 human cavalry in the palace examination and obtained the first-class military service in advance, and Zhang Zhongjing who wrote a medical book in the palace examination and obtained the first-class voluntary service in advance, and Zu Chongzhi who invented the water pestle in the palace examination and obtained the first-class fortification in advance, no one has been judged as the first-class before the end of the palace examination! Is Fang Xusheng going to be the fourth person?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.
The light bridge spanned half of the Shengyuan Continent and was seen by countless human beings. Even if the great scholars and semi-saints did not see it, they could sense the transmission of the light bridge.
Start a country.
Li Fanming held the big rabbit's ears and looked up at the sky.
"The source of the light bridge... seems to be in the north of Jing Country. Could it be that madman Fang Yun has done something big again? It shouldn't be possible. He has only been in office for three days. If he can really achieve great results, I might as well die!"
Jing State, the capital.
"Puff..."
Ji Zhibai, who was drinking tea in the yard, spat out the whole mouthful of tea, then smashed the teacup in anger.
"Prepare the car! Head to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion! The light bridge will lead us. No one in the north can do this except Fang Yun! Asshole!"
Not long after, Ji Zhibai broke into Liu Mansion and quickly entered Liu Shan's study.
Liu Shan is practicing calligraphy.
Ji Zhibai wanted to speak, but when he saw what Liu Shan was writing, he was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word.
Tolerate.
Ji Zhibai's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Even if Liu Shan had written the word "静", it would have been fine. But now he actually wrote "忍", which meant that Liu Shan had already developed the intention to kill!
There is a knife in Liushan’s heart!
Ji Zhibai clearly remembered that before Liu Shan murdered 100,000 Northwest Army soldiers, he also wrote the word "forbearance".
"Could it be that my mentor wants the other party to do it himself?" Ji Zhibai thought to himself.
After Liu Shan put the pen away, Ji Zhibai asked cautiously, "Master, what did Fang Yun do?"
"Nothing much. Two drafts on the Legalist reform were received into the Criminal Court."
Ji Zhibai's eyes went dark and he almost fell down. If Fang Yun had created such a miracle near the end of the palace examination, it would be acceptable, but he wrote such an important draft of the Legalist school only three days after taking office, and this was in a field that Fang Yun was not good at before!
How can the other candidates survive? How can Ji Zhibai, the champion of Jing State last year, survive
Although Ji Zhibai was the top scholar in Jingguo last year, he never got a top grade!
In an ordinary palace examination, if one was admitted into the Criminal Hall simply based on his Legalist reform documents, he would surely get an A grade in the criminal justice department!
Ji Zhibai slowly sat down on the chair and suddenly said, "If my guess is correct, it should be the great scholar who protected Fang Yun who used the light bridge to transmit. The one who is protecting Fang Yun now may not be the great scholar of the Legalist School, and may not know the value of the document. It may be a misunderstanding!"
Without even raising his eyelids, Liu Shan said slowly: "I will give you... half a year. After August, if you cannot influence Fang Yun's palace examination, I will personally take action and interrupt his palace examination!"
Ji Zhibai shuddered instinctively. Liu Shan's so-called "interrupting his palace examination" was very likely to be a big deal!
