Ji Hui was cut in half, and all members of his family were sentenced to death!

So in the future, if someone is fighting for family property or is dissatisfied with their parents' arrangements, what should they do if they decide to follow Ji Hui's example?

This is like in later generations, when the old lady in Nanjing fell to the ground, the moral level of the country dropped by more than half. The reason is the same.

This will bring about a moral controversy.

Giving bad people an opportunity can even lead to the collapse of the entire social order and ethics.

If the matter is not pursued, then where is the national law? Should the law still be upheld?

What should I do if I encounter someone who plots rebellion in the future and that person's family uses Ji Hui's example to make trouble?

Here, a key thing must be mentioned.

That is Han law, and there are precedents.

The legal judgments of the Han Dynasty inherited the legal spirit of the Qin Dynasty. If there is a precedent to follow in a certain case, it will be judged according to the case.

For example, many of the rulings made by Zhang Shizhi back then have become precedents and the basis for current officials to decide cases.

Later, Dong Zhongshu used the Spring and Autumn Period to judge the prison and judge the justice according to the cases recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period, which also came from this.

Therefore, as soon as this case emerged, it immediately aroused public opinion.

Even, to a certain extent, it overshadowed the war ahead and became the focus of debate in the court.

Is human kindness greater than the law?

Or is the law above all else?

The Legalists fought with the heroes, Huang Lao, and the Confucians themselves refused to give up.

This is a battle of orthodoxy, a battle of ideas.

Public opinion was raging, and Liu Che watched from the side, feeling very anxious in his heart.

Because he knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it would turn into a Western Han Dynasty version of great etiquette, with the Niu and Li factions fighting.

Therefore, he cannot just sit back and ignore it, he must intervene in this matter and put an end to this controversy as soon as possible!

In his previous life, Liu Che had also heard about this case.

However, at that time, he was already far away in the river, so he did not have a deep impression of this. In addition, as time passed, his impression was somewhat blurred.

He only vaguely remembered that the case ended in peace.

But I can’t remember the specific process and method clearly.

That's why he wanted to consult his ministers.

Especially Zhang Tang, Ji An, Ning Cheng and Zhufu Yan.

Zhang Tang and Ning Cheng were from Legalist backgrounds, but unlike other Legalist ministers, these two were not fundamentalists. They were the kind of people who would cling to Legalist rigid concepts and refuse to change.

Especially Zhang Tang, the person who proposed the concept of Confucianism, Skin, Dharma and Bone, how could he be a word-picker?

As for Ji An, as a representative figure of the Huang-Lao sect, Liu Che also wanted to hear Ji An's views and opinions on this.

And Zhu Fuyan, who is always smart, may be able to think of a solution, but he may not be sure!

Zhang Tang looked at Liu Che. In fact, what he was most afraid of was that the prince would ask him this matter.

Not to mention a man of two hundred and fifty who came from the Marquis of Xiangping family, he was Chao Cuo's teacher. Zhang Hui was also helpless about this.

The law stipulates that the rebels are a clan.

This law is non-negotiable!

Otherwise, there is no need to pay a high price for rebellion.

Without deterrence, are these ambitious people still ready to take action?

However, if the law must be enforced, how could Ji Jia be wronged? How could Ji Xiangfu be wronged?

Doesn't this mean killing a good person indiscriminately?

It will also lead to the decline of social morality and loss of order.

Therefore, this matter is really difficult!

Regardless of whether human feelings are greater than the law or the law is greater than everything else, no matter how the judgment is decided, the final result may have a bad impact.

Zhang Tang took a deep breath.

Since the prince asked about this matter, he had to give an answer.

Because he represents the will of Legalism at this moment.

At this thought, Zhang Tang came out of the queue and kowtowed: "Going back to the family, Chen Tang thought that the law was established and could not be criticized. Ji Hui conspired to rebel, so he was cursed. The evidence was conclusive and he confessed. According to the law, he abandoned the city and his father was killed.

Although Jia, his brother Hui, his wife, and his clan members are unaware of this, there is nothing I can do about it since the law is like this!"

"How can a whole family cry when the whole world cries?" Ning Cheng also agreed: "Ji Hui is like this. He died unjustly. Although his clan framed him, compared with the safety of the world, the Ji clan can only be wronged!"

Ji An immediately came out and said: "My family, I object! Once this happens, in the future, people without a king and a father will be able to threaten the king's father. Then our Han family, which governs the world with filial piety, will become a laughing stock. The world will have filial sons and virtuous grandchildren."

, will be controlled by unfilial sons!"

Liu Che couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after hearing this.

Of course, he also knew that for this kind of thorny issue, especially this kind of legal issue, not to mention this era before the Christian era, even in later generations, it was the public opinion that the public was justified, and the mother-in-law was justified.

Liu Che then turned his last hope to his father Yan and Shang Rong, hoping that these two people could give him some inspiration.

At this time, the master's father stood up and worshiped: "My lord, I think that what the family order said about this case is indeed reasonable, and what Zhang Xingcao said is also reasonable..."

He looked at Liu Che and was extremely excited. After waiting for a long time, he finally found this familiar and proud occasion where he could display his abilities.

Only he, the proud man of the Long and Short Zongheng Sect, can come up with a solution to this matter!

He bowed his head and said: "I believe that the provisions of the law must be implemented. Otherwise, the ambitious people in the world will take advantage of this, which will bring disaster for a long time. Human relations, ethics and morals must not be ignored. I invite my family and report to the emperor, in accordance with

According to the law, the thief Ji Hui was treasonous and immoral. He abandoned the city and spread the word to the whole world. According to the law, his family was sentenced to death and deprived of their family property. However, thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the emperor. The emperor can kill people, and so on.

But for mercy outside the law, the family can ask His Majesty to show mercy outside the law. After ruling the Ji clan to be destroyed, he issued an edict to pardon his entire family's capital crimes and restored their titles as before. In this way, the dignity of the law was maintained, and the world's filial sons and virtuous grandchildren were

You don’t have to worry about it, it’s the best of both worlds!”

After Master Yan finished speaking, he prostrated himself deeply on the ground and said tremblingly: "The Fuwei family has made a clear decision!"

After listening to this, Liu Che's eyes lit up.

This method is really good!

"Why didn't I think of that?" Liu Che scratched his head and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. It was so embarrassing to the time traveler!

"It seems that I am bound by a fixed mindset..." Liu Che thought to himself.

He knew that he was over the top.

At this moment, after listening to Master Yan's words, his eyes suddenly became brighter.

Solving this matter this way is indeed the best way.

That is to say, the dignity of the law is maintained, and it does not lead to the existence of an evil example or a terrible thing like the case of the old lady falling in Nanjing.

So Liu Che stood up and bowed to his father: "You are so talented, I admire you so much!"

The master's father Yan hurriedly bowed back: "I dare not, it is my duty to die for my family!"

But my heart was filled with excitement and happiness.

What is exciting is that for so long, I have been watching Zhang Tang and others flourish, and even rising stars Shang Rong, Yi Zong, Yang Yi and others are riding on his head.

This has put Master Fu Yan under great psychological pressure for a long time.

This time, he finally proved himself in front of the prince, proving that his father-in-law was not just a soy sauce person, and that his father-in-law was no less a hero than Ji An, Zhang Tang and others!

Zhu Fuyan believes that this is just the beginning.

In the future, he will use more facts to prove that the family was right in choosing him!

As the master of his father Yan, he must achieve great success and return to his hometown in glory, so that those who looked down on him and insulted him in the past will know that he is a figure like Su Qin or Zhang Yi, who is destined to leave a name in history and be famous throughout the ages!

The reason for his happiness is that his family condescended to him and worshiped him just because of his words.

How could his father be so virtuous?

Surprisingly, the crown prince, the future emperor, will treat you as a scholar of the country!

"I will repay you as a soldier of the country!" Master Yan swore secretly in his heart!

Liu Che said with a smile: "I have already known that you are a great talent. However, I have never expected that you can be so quick-witted. I am worthy of this tribute!"

Of course Liu Che knew that if you want to employ people, you have to be willing to spend money, and you have to give talents a good treatment and corresponding status.

The ancients recruited talents, undressed them, and promoted food to them.

Wu Qi sucked the pus from his soldiers.

It's all a strategy to win people's hearts.

And he has to do better than those people, so that his officials can work hard for his ambition and ambition and die exhausted.
