Section 393 Hu Jian's doubts (1)(2/2)
Family crimes are caused by the people not being promoted and the officials not being corrected.
Even if the people want to sue, some things are not allowed to sue.
For example, if a son sues his parents or a servant sues his master, the government will never accept the case. If the plaintiff insists on suing, then the person must be held legally responsible first!
On the other hand, parents complain to their children, husband complain to their wives, and wife complain to their husbands, all three rings can only be accepted after the third ring.
What is the Three Ring Road?
It was three persuasion and mediation.
Invite the three local elders, famous scholars and officials from the family and government to persuade them, and try their best to seek reconciliation between the plaintiff and the defendant.
From this perspective, the Legalists were also quite active in maintaining feudal systems and feudal society.
After hearing Zhang Yue's explanation, Liu Jin nodded.
But he didn't know that the Confucian scholars hated this system to death.
Even the Gongyang School thinks that this system is not good.
Why?
Because this is Qin law and Qin law!
I had already agreed that we would work together to achieve peace, but you secretly took the Legalist hand?
I can't bear it!
Therefore, since Dong Zhongshu, the Gongyang School has been clamoring to "make laws for the Han Dynasty" and deeply feel that it has undertaken such a historical mission.
But the problem is...
Confucian scholars have little understanding of the law and are not prepared for how to design a new set of laws that do not hinder or interfere with the national economy and people's livelihood.
So, this matter has been put on hold.
but……
Although Confucian scholars cannot come up with a solution themselves, if your emperor does not change it, it is your emperor's fault.
After Yuancheng, when the Gongyang School decided to abandon the Liu family, this reason accounted for a large part.
Of course, the Ram School is pretty good.
Gu Liang and Zuo Zhuan were even more rampant.
Although the scholars and officials of the Gongyang School think that the Liu family is just fooling labor and capital, they will occasionally use small fists to hammer your chest.
But as long as you become an official, you will basically do things according to the rules, so as not to be punished by the Spring and Autumn Period and bear the reputation of being disloyal.
But as long as Gu Liang and Zuo Zhuan become officials, they will not be violent and uncooperated.
Put the whole set of Han laws aside and do things according to your own understanding.
The thing they love to do most is to see if the law complies with their own values when encountering cases. If they comply with each other, they use it. If they comply with each other, they treat it as if they don’t know it, and then use their own explanation to deal with the problem.
Stories that the butt determines the head are common.
For example, this is what Yu Yi did some time ago.
Of course, Zhang Yue doesn't want to remind Liu Jin of these things for the time being.
Let’s talk about it later, maybe this is a pretty good reason!
From Zhang Yue's perspective, Han law is an extension of Qin law, and Qin law is a product of the Warring States Period.
Until now, this system has been used for almost two or three hundred years. Many things have indeed failed to keep up with the development of the times and must be made changes.
From this perspective, Dong Zhongshu's understanding is not wrong.
But it is a common problem for Confucian scholars.
It is okay to ask questions (even the Donglin Party knows), but it is enough to solve the problem...
Anyway, from Confucius to now, Zhang Yue has never seen a few Confucian scholars who can raise questions and solve them.
