Subverted This is the Emperor Chat Group

nonexistent!

Chen Tong:

"Is the severe punishment and severe law saying that King Zhou was tyrannical? Wrong, severe punishment and severe law are just another great achievement of King Zhou!"

"During the time of King Zhou of Yin, there was a saying that a doctor cannot be punished!"

"This sentence means that nobles will not be punished for committing crimes, but only people with low status will be punished for committing crimes. King Zhou adopted severe punishments and dealt with these criminal nobles for the first time."

"Let the subjects know that no matter their status is high or low, as long as they make mistakes, they will be severely punished, and they will not receive special care because of their high status."

"Isn't this the embodiment of King Zhou's fairness and justice in treating his subjects? Letting the criminals get the punishment they deserve is the manifestation of justice and the true benevolence!"

"Could it be that we have to let those privileged classes get away with it in order to be considered generous and benevolent."

"How does this make those law-abiding civilians feel?"

"Such a name of kindness, don't worry about it!"

Every time Chen Tong typed a word, his blood boiled. People are never afraid of harsh punishments and laws. What people are afraid of is that some people can override the law.

Chen Tong went on to write:

"But King Zhou gave severe punishments and laws, allowing punishments to be punished by high officials. This has evolved into a feudal dynasty. There is a saying that is often on the lips: the emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people!"

"Strictly speaking, King Zhou is the founder of Legalism! It is more than 600 years earlier than Shang Yang's reform."

"You say, King Zhou's implementation of severe punishments is a merit or a fault?"

After typing all this, Chen Tong felt a hearty sense of pleasure, especially the last sentence, when he typed, he almost yelled it out!

At this moment, the chat group was extremely quiet, and the emperors of all time and space seemed to be struck by lightning.

It was extremely shocking, which completely subverted their concept of severe punishment and severe law!

Chapter 27 27. The ministers persecute Li Shimin

At this moment, Wu Zetian, Zhu Di, Li Shimin, Liu Che, and Cao Cao seemed to be brainstormed.

Buzzing in the head.

Severe punishment and severe law are merits, not faults!

This really subverted their inherent cognition.

Friend of Married Wife: "I feel like my three views are going to be shattered."

Execute the prosperous hero of your ten clans:

"The only thing you can break is your integrity!"

"I was really frightened. It was the first time I heard such fallacies. The key point is that I still think it makes sense!"

"Am I hopeless?"

Although it is far away, it will be punished:

"Have you noticed that those who say that King Zhou is cruel are all nobles, but the common people don't catch a cold?"

"Isn't this an age-old puzzle called: Who Moved My Cheese?"

Heart of the Phantom Sea:

"Senior said so, I seem to understand."

"When the society is reforming, the commoners celebrate with each other, and the nobles are like dead fathers. Is this the truth?"

At this moment, Qin Shihuang was standing by the sea, and he was extremely shocked.

He opened his arms and roared to the sea:

"What a King Zhou of Yin!"

"Every time I read Shang Jun's masterpieces, I am amazed. The ancestors used Shang Yang's reform to make the Great Qin rich and strong, and only then did I sweep Liuhe and unify Yanhuang!"

"I didn't expect that seven hundred years ago, you had already started to reform."

"The ancient emperor, you deserve it!"

Qin Shihuang is not like the kings of later generations. He was influenced by Confucianism. He is a legalist through and through. He doesn't believe in Confucianism at all. In his eyes, Confucianism is even heresy.

In his opinion, severe punishment and harsh laws are the right way to govern the country!

Great Qin True Dragon:

"Lawmaking for all peoples is a great achievement!"

"It is the king's benevolence and righteousness to let the powerful and common people abide by the same law!"

Li Shimin was also extremely shocked. This kind of statement has been recognized by everyone. This Chen Tong is simply terrifying.

Piercing the truth of history from another angle.

It's much higher than Wei Zheng's tearful rank. It subverts your cognition and at the same time makes you feel that you agree with this concept, and you are tall.

Is this the brainwashing that Chen Tong said!

Li Shimin feels that he is not the same as before, and he has more confidence in how to deal with the thousand-year-old family.

"Wei Zheng!"

"You know, King Zhou's harsh punishments are designed to punish the criminal scholar-bureaucrats!"

"Punishing corrupt officials and not avoiding the powerful, isn't that what your Confucianists have always advertised as the wise king?"

Li Shimin, like Chen Tong possessed himself, immediately began to criticize Wei Zheng, his words were sharp, and he explained Chen Tong's theory again, and Changsun Wuji's eyes immediately widened.

Today Li Shimin is absolutely possessed.

Looking at the problem from this angle, it was too tricky and vicious.

Wei Zheng was completely stunned at this moment, and the severe punishment and harsh law can still be explained in this way. As long as the emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime, then who would say that the law is harsh?

Everyone is the same.

What is this called? Don't worry about being few, but about unevenness.

Since everyone is the same, this is absolute fairness and justice!

No matter how eloquent Ren Weizheng can speak, he can't find a loophole to refute. This is the highest state of Mingjun they advocate, and it is also what the people want.

If he dared to deny this, he would be smashed into rotten eggs by the angry Chang'an people tomorrow.

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly:

"Your Majesty is right. You ministers really say one thing, but you have another thing in your heart. You keep saying that you should love the people like your sons, and the emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people!"

"As a result, King Zhou did this, but you, like dogs, turn your face and say that he is cruel!"

"Can I have some face? How much do we need?"

"I, Old Cheng, can't do this. I'm the most reasonable person."

Cheng Yaojin felt like a thief today. For the first time, he felt that cursing someone with his mouth was better than hacking with an axe. Moreover, he couldn't even swear back.

Wei Zheng was at the end of his rope at the moment, and all the crimes he enumerated by King Zhou were refuted one by one, not only refuted, but also became the achievements of King Zhou.

This made him feel that his entire world view was about to be subverted.

And what frightened him the most was: what Li Shimin said was strictly logical. Is this still the half-dead Li Shimin who left him speechless and lingering all day long?

Even many ministers have believed Li Shimin's words at this moment, because they are so flawless that they cannot refute them, they all turned their eyes to Wei Zheng for help.

If the king is so wise and close to demons, what's the use of these courtiers?

Wei Zheng was very anxious, he couldn't let Li Shimin just reverse the case for King Zhou.

In this way, Confucianism will lose the right to speak, and the consequences will be unimaginable. They will lose the hearts of the people, unable to check and balance the imperial power, and can only be the tools of the king.

This will bring a devastating blow to them and the family behind them.

Wei Zheng's eyes turned cold, and finally he used his big killer, "King Zhou is licentious, cruel and extravagant, he is one of the three great tyrants in ancient times, and this is the reason for his country's fall!"

"And it was Kong Shengren who said that. Could it be that His Majesty thinks Kong Sheng is wrong?"

"I have little talent and little learning, so I can't correct the king, but how can your majesty slander the saint, is this an enemy of the world's scholars?"

Wei Zheng directly lifted Confucius out, and at this moment, there was a dead silence in the Taiji Palace.

This is for the poor to see.

Even Cheng Yao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, Kong Sheng, you can't slander at will, otherwise, he will be torn apart by the world, although he is reckless, he is not stupid at all.

Li Shimin's face was flushed with anger, and his fingers were trembling violently when he pointed at Wei Zheng. As the supreme being in the world, the most intolerable thing was that someone could suppress him.

However, Kong Shengren is a high mountain, which he cannot shake.

The disciples and grandchildren of Kong Sheng are the helmsmen of the Shandong Clan family. They colluded with the Guanlong Clan and the Southern Clan to suppress the imperial power everywhere.

A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family.

Li Shimin is very clear about the great harm of the aristocratic family, because their Li family was originally a branch of the Guanlong Clan, and the aristocratic clan was able to change dynasties in its heyday.

After he ascended the throne, the first thing he wanted to do was to suppress the aristocratic family.

And if Kong Sheng's prestige can be suppressed, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to the Shandong clan.

Li Shimin's eyes were cold, and he said word by word: "Confucius is also a human being, and he is not a sage. He has no faults. Can you guarantee that Confucius judged King Zhou without any selfish mistakes?"

Wei Zheng laughed, and said contemptuously:

"Does Your Majesty suspect that Confucius deliberately discredited King Zhou?"

"How ridiculous!"

"Sage Kong has no grudges against King Zhou, and the two have been separated for more than 400 years without any conflict of interest. Why did he smear King Zhou of Yin?"

"If your Majesty cannot give a reasonable explanation, then please Your Majesty, kneel in the Confucius Temple, and apologize to Confucius, like the people of the world!"

Wei Zheng pointed at Li Shimin, his mouth was like a knife, and every word pierced his heart.

At this time, the ministers came out one after another, their eyes were scarlet, and they stared at Li Shimin and said angrily: "Your Majesty, please kneel at the Confucius Temple and issue an edict to sin against yourself!"

Li Shimin was so angry that he was going to die.
