Chapter 379 Right and Wrong
After hearing this, Yuan Wen slowly stroked his beard and half-smiled: "You are all very concerned about this issue?"
The little head made an exaggerated expression: "That's a visitor from outside the world! A living visitor from outside the world! You must be concerned about it!"
"Xiao Nao Ke, don't talk nonsense!" Candy poked Xiao Nao Ke's waist and said in a milky voice, "The trial hasn't ended yet, and we don't know the result yet. How can you say that the administrator of Chino is a visitor from outside the world?
Didn't grandpa teach us that before making a conclusion about anything, we must look at it with a neutral attitude? Only when the truth comes out can we know the full story of the incident."
"Hahaha! Candy actually remembered my words, it's so rare!" Yuan Wen happily touched Candy's little head, "Then Grandpa would like to ask you, in your opinion, the third day after three days
What will be the final result of the three Kingdom Plenary Meetings?”
Candy shrank her head and said cowardly: "Then I dare not say it. How dare I discuss the affairs of the palace..."
Xiao Nao Ke was very courageous, maybe because he was trying to save face in front of the candy. He raised his hand and said: "I know, I know! Grandpa, you taught us before that the right or wrong of something is not determined by people's hearts, but by the law."
——The code is the benchmark for judging everything! Therefore, the result of the third plenary meeting must be based on the code, with guilty verdicts and innocent acquittals!"
Yuan Wen stroked his beard and showed a mysterious smile: "There seems to be something wrong with what Little Head said. The final decision-maker of the Kingdom's plenary meeting is His Majesty the King, not the Code. What's going on?"
The children looked at each other in confusion when asked, and Little Brain asked tentatively: "His Majesty the King should make decisions based on the law, right?"
Yuanwen said casually: "That's hard to say. The Code is indeed the benchmark for judging everything, but the king has the right to directly change the articles of the Code. So, what do you think is greater, the Code or the King?"
Candy jumped up without thinking: "King!"
Xiao Naoke retorted: "No, it should be the Codex!"
"He is the king!" Candy glanced at Elda not far away, lowered his voice, and said with a smile, "If you think about it this way, the wake-up time here is set by Elda's mother, then assuming that mother is the king
, the code is like an alarm clock.”
"In the beginning, my mother set the alarm clock and asked everyone to get up at 6 o'clock every day, but she often couldn't get up on her own, so she secretly changed the alarm clock to 6:30. So, mother is greater than the alarm clock, and the king is greater than the code!"
"Hey!" Erda smiled angrily, "You little brat, how did you expose this matter?"
Candy covered her mouth and snickered.
The little head tilted his head, looking very confused: "But if the king is greater than the code, then why do we need the code? Isn't the existence of the code just to maintain justice? If one day, the king changes the code and requires everyone to go
If you do something unjust, won’t the code be meaningless?”
"Oh?! That's a good question!" Yuan Wen looked a little surprised and said with a smile, "Who can answer the little head question?"
The children looked at me and I looked at you, all shaking their heads, even the smartest candy also shook his head.
Yuan Wen: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Grandpa will teach you. Everyone should remember that there are two kinds of principles in this world, one is called law and the other is truth."
"Legal principles are the principles stipulated in the code. It is not necessarily right or wrong. No matter whether it is right or wrong, you cannot do things prohibited by the code. If you do, you will be punished. This is called legal principle."
"As for the truth, it is the eternal and truly correct truth. The truth has nothing to do with laws, customs, morals, or people's opinions. No matter whether anyone is aware of it or not, it exists there, waiting for others to discover it."
Candy nodded thoughtfully and asked tentatively: "Then...why are our legal principles not formulated in accordance with the standards of truth? If the legal principles are consistent with the truth, the world will definitely be better!"
Yuanwen touched her head and said sincerely: "The reason is very simple, because... we don't know what is the truth. The truth is too far away. Many truths are beyond the reach of ordinary people in a lifetime and require several generations of training.
Hard work requires the sacrifice and dedication of countless revolutionaries before it is possible to find a path to the truth."
"Therefore, every change in the code is a process of exploring the truth. Only through practice can many things be tested to see whether they are the truth."
The little head suddenly realized: "Grandpa, when you say this, I suddenly discovered a very great person!"
"Who?" everyone said in unison.
"Minister of Law!" Little Brain jumped around Yuanwen, "In our Kingdom of Doguland, the Minister of Law is the person who has promoted the reform of the code the most. Grandpa said before that the current Minister of Law is named Yuanwen.
·Doguland, now it seems that he is a practitioner of truth, I think he is extremely great!"
Yuanwen and Erda looked at each other, and each saw the hidden smile in the other's eyes.
Yuanwen deliberately stuck his head out and asked secretly: "Then tell me, how great is this Yuanwen Doguland?"
"I think it's so - so great." Little Head crossed his arms to form a circle in front of him.
"No, no, it's so - so - great!" Candy opened his arms and drew a big circle in the air.
"All of you are not enough, not enough at all! I think at least it is this - oh - great!" Yuan Wen raised his arms and ran around the children like a flying bird, surrounded by people.
It was laughter and laughter that has not subsided for a long time.
...
For the next two days, Yuan Wen stayed at No. 24 Shuangxue Lane. When he had nothing to do, he would tell stories to the children, play with them, discuss academic matters with the older children who came back from school, and take the trouble to help them with their homework and answer their questions.
.
These children are really simple. They only think that Yuan Wen is very knowledgeable, but they have never considered why he knows so much knowledge. Everyone thinks that adults are so smart, and everyone wants to grow up quickly and become wise adults.
.
"Liuhuo" On the night of the 14th, Yuanwen finished tutoring the last child with his homework, put him to bed, and went to his hotel to rest.
But who would have expected that just after Yuan Wen closed his eyes for a while, there was the faint sound of horse hooves outside, and then someone broke into the courtyard, looking very anxious.
Yuanwen looked out of the window and quickly recognized through the candlelight that this was a guard in his house.
Yuanwen first looked around to make sure that no naughty children ran out, then he went up to him, pulled the guard to the corner, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on in such a hurry? Didn't I tell you that if I go out?
No one is allowed to disturb me here, and I don’t see anyone.”
"Sir, I didn't mean to disturb you, something really happened!" The guard's face turned pale, and his lips began to tremble, "Your Highness... Your Highness, you haven't eaten a bite of food or drank a drop of water in the past two days.
