Section 688 Hanging Wenqing (1)(1/2)

Liu Che looked at Dou Ying and put his hand on his forehead, feeling a little headache.

But there was no way to stop or stop Dou Ying from continuing to speak. He even had to keep smiling and indifferent when Dou Ying was speaking, and look like he was humbly accepting advice.

After all, this superficial appearance of ‘people’s cooking’, or the emperor’s appearance of governing from the top down, must still be maintained.

When Dou Ying saw this situation, instead of stopping, he was greatly encouraged. Some of his original ideological baggage was instantly thrown away in Java.

"In addition, there is Article 88. This order says: Anyone who can pay taxes at the age of ten and never die will be a common people..." Dou Ying said righteously: "I think this order is very serious.

It’s appropriate. On the day of Guixin City, the untouchables of the country are all the sons-in-law of criminal officials and the slaves and maids of prisoners. They will be untouchables forever. Is there any chance of turning over?”

If before, Dou Ying was excusable when he said about merchants, then now that Dou Ying stands up to oppose this law, he has stepped on Liu Che's sore foot.

Here, the first thing to explain is, what is Guixinchengdan?

The so-called ghost punishment is two ancient and cruel punishments in China.

Those who are ghosts are called ghosts, and those who are ghosts are white rice. Those who are in the city are in the city.

These two phrases are two special punishments for male and female criminals and their descendants respectively.

Generally speaking, criminals who are sentenced to these two types of punishments are serious offenders, such as treason, adultery, unfilial piety, disrespect, or the descendants of people who have created a very bad influence on society and touched the bottom line of social order and good morals.

(Criminals who commit these things will definitely have their whole family killed, but their children under ten years old and pregnant wives and concubines are exempted from death according to the law, but they will all be put into a separate book and will be "ghosts and white candies" for life.

Chong'), in addition, there are legal provisions for the son-in-law and the son-in-law's children. If they violate the law, they will be demoted as "Ghost Xin Baican" and "Chengdan Chong" criminals.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, what kind of words were the most vicious curses?

The answer is to call the other party a ‘ghost-salary slave’ and ‘Sikong Chengdan’ (the aunt calls her ‘Bai Chan’s cheap slave’ and ‘Chong’s slave’).

At that time, the Empress Dowager scolded Yuan Gusheng and his knowledge in the animal enclosure of Shanglin Garden as "the book of Sikong Chengdan".

The people who were sentenced or fixed as Guixinbaican or Chengdanchong were the lowest level of the entire Han social class.

Their status is no better than that of the untouchables in the third brother's family.

Even the status of slaves and slave children in the homes of local powerful and noble officials is higher than those of these two groups.

They have no human rights or legal rights. Even if they are killed, many local officials will not take care of them.

There is a stipulation in the Han law's warning law: Those who are under ten years old or above should not listen to the ghosts and white cans, and the people who are pounding the city are not allowed to listen.

Parallel with this article is the symbolic law of the feudal etiquette system and general ethics: when a son sues his parents, a woman sues her husband and father, a slave sues the master, and the master's parents and wife, do not listen and refuse to sue.

These two laws together constituted the notorious two laws in the old Han legal system.

If you don't listen, no one will dare to move, and no fool will dare to move.

But this article may have collapsed due to Liu Che's latest "Ping Lv".

Originally untouchables for life or even for generations, now, as long as they pay taxes and serve according to law for ten years, they can escape from untouchability and return to normal society.

Of course Dou Ying, who loves Confucianism, cannot accept this law at all!

In the eyes of many aristocrats, untouchables are untouchables. They are the descendants of hopeless felons and shameless, unrepentant lazy men.

It’s best if they all die!

Historically, building the Great Wall, digging imperial tombs, mining in the mountains, and catching turtles in the rivers were all done by these people.

How to kill them quickly, how to do it.

When it comes to Confucianism's position, it is even more straightforward.

Confucianism, which believes that the rules of etiquette and the order of heaven and earth will never change, will never accept it. Suddenly one day, Guixin Bai Can and Cheng Dan Chong suddenly ran up to him and asked him a favor.

Even just thinking about it makes me sick to death!

But Liu Che looked at Dou Ying, sighed deeply, shook his head, and said with great disappointment: "General, are you going to become a drunkard?"

Dou Ying and the other Confucian scholars present, especially Yan Yi's face, instantly became extremely wonderful.

Anyone who knows a little about history knows that the term "drunkard" has many stories that cannot be ignored in Confucianism.

The most famous one is of course the story of Li Shiqi and Liu Bang.

It is said that back then, Liu Bang led his army to pass through Chenliu. At that time, it was during the famous Liu Xiang Race. Liu Bang made an agreement with Xiang Yu: whoever enters Guanzhong first will be king.

Therefore, at that time, Chenliu became a fortified city that Liu Bang must capture.

However, at that time, Chen Liuling was in the hands of a die-hard official of the Qin Dynasty. Chen Liuling was extremely loyal to Xianyang and refused to surrender. However, the city of Chenliu had strong walls and many soldiers and food. At that time, Liu Bang could only look at the city and sigh.

At this time, Li Shiqi, who later became Liu Bang's adviser, took the initiative to come to the door.

At that time, Li Shiqi was wearing a Confucian robe and a Confucian crown, standing at the gate of the military camp, and said shamelessly, "I want to see Pei Gong and describe the world's major events."

The soldiers guarding the gate reported the situation to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang asked: "What kind of person is this?"

The soldiers then reported Li Shiqi's appearance and clothing.

As we all know, Liu Bang was extremely anti-Confucian and even hated Confucian scholars and their knowledge.

Therefore, as soon as he heard about the other party's attire, Liu Bang immediately said something that has made Confucian scholars and Confucian scholars feel extremely embarrassed in front of the world, and has even been ridiculed and joked by others: Thank you for me.

I am concerned about the world, and I have no flaws in meeting Confucian scholars.

In layman's terms, I have the world in mind and am determined to compete. If you want to talk, please find someone else and don't bother me!

Originally, if it had been anyone else, they would have walked away immediately after hearing this answer.

But Li Shiqi was a wonderful man. After hearing the soldier's reply, he immediately stared at the soldier with a murderous look, and said the sentence that has been spread all over the world and was used to laugh at Confucian scholars, especially those who were unsuccessful.

No, but he talks like a train runner: Go away and return to Yan Peigong. I am a Gaoyang drunkard and not a Confucian!

At the end of the story, after Liu Bang heard this answer, he immediately stepped on the snow, pushed open the tent door, and said: "Invite our guests!"

This was the first meeting between Li Shiqi and Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

For decades, it has been spread all over the world and has become an enduring legend and joke.

Confucian scholars and drunkards have become the opposite of each other since then.

As a result, many literati, officials, and nobles who are dissatisfied with Confucian scholars, when they see Confucian scholars posting or requesting to meet, will always reply naughtily: Are you a public drunkard? I only make friends with drunkards!

Basically, once this happens, the other party will immediately hide their face and walk away.

By the way, the current Tejin elder, Quzhouhou Liji, is Li Shiqi's nephew.

And Li Shiqi's final ending was very tragic. After he completed the task assigned to him by Liu Bang and deceived Queen Qi, he was cooked alive by King Tian Guang of Qi.

When the Han Dynasty was established, Liu Bang missed Li Shiqi. Even though Li Shiqi's son Li Gai had not made any achievements and even did many stupid things, he still worshiped him as Marquis of Gaoliang, and later changed his title to Marquis of Wu Sui.

So, when Liu Che said, "General, are you becoming a drunkard?" Li Ji lowered his head silently and squeezed out two tears.

But Dou Ying and the Confucian scholar were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a place to get in.

The other courtiers, with smiles on their faces, gathered around to watch.

The meaning of the emperor's words couldn't be more obvious.

I just want to tell Dou Ying: Don’t talk about Confucian patriarchal etiquette that is destined to be buried in the dustbin of history in front of me.

We, the old Liu family, have never listened to this, nor have we ever accepted it!

For me, instead of listening to the chatter of Confucian scholars, it is better to chat with drunkards...

This was the first time since Liu Che came to the throne that he openly expressed his disgust and impatience with Confucianism in public.

This made the Confucian officials very frightened.

Confucianism does not want to think that the rising momentum it has finally created will be the same as the current good momentum, because the emperor's attitude towards a certain issue or policy is bad, and the result will be a huge disaster.

You know, nowadays, hundreds of schools of thought are rising together, and they are vying for hegemony.

Huang Lao, Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, and even politicians and peasants are all competing for the right to speak in the world.

If you offend the emperor, suppress Confucianism in politics and policies, and let other schools of thought, especially the Mohist school, ride on Confucianism's head.

That is...the end!

Mo Zhai's disciples and grandsons, there is not a day that goes by that they don't want to sweep Confucianism into the dustbin of history and bury it in the grave.

Therefore, many Confucian scholars in the doctoral program were immediately discouraged and no longer had the courage to jump out and comment.

This is also related to the current situation.

If you change the era when Confucianism was in power, see if they dared to sneer at the emperor and spit on his face.

Because at that time, the emperor had only one choice: Confucian scholars.

It's a buyer's market.

Now, it's a seller's market.

There was no Butcher Zhang, but Butcher Li. If the emperor wanted to eat meat, there were plenty of people to help kill the pigs.

And Dou Ying was also shocked.

The Emperor, who was originally laughing and joking with a gentle face, suddenly became furious, which Dou Ying couldn't accept.

As an idealist and a scholar-bureaucrat who claimed to have mastered the truth and believed that he must be right, Dou Ying was certainly not convinced!
