Sure enough, when Wang Yongji asked someone to anonymously post this topic, it immediately attracted the attention of a group of people. Instead of answering, they unanimously ridiculed.
In Hangzhou, it is already a tacit understanding that Confucianism and Confucianism are the most important thing. After several rounds of twists and turns by the New School and the Original Confucianism, the Confucian scholars who are still clinging to the past can only stay at home and draw circles and curses instead of going out to show off.
Someone actually came to anonymously raise such an issue about the dispute between Confucianism and Legalism. As if Confucianism still has fighting power, the battle in the future will also be a battle over new laws. The person who asked this question is still an old man.
“Ask if someone does something bad but the law does not authorize it, how should the local county magistrate deal with it?”
Almost many people read the title of this question and then cursed. After leaving, several people who responded also cursed the questioner. He thought Confucianism was not dead enough and wanted to use Confucianism to challenge the law. It’s really a matter of studying hard and studying to the point of going crazy.
Wang Yongji hid in a private room on the second floor. He would ask people to inquire about the situation every once in a while, but he was scolded until his face turned red and green.
In the afternoon I saw a few serious replies.
Wang Yongji took the opportunity to relax for a day. Of course, the main reason is that now all kinds of trivial matters in the yamen are decentralized. Trials have been delegated to arbitration offices, and law enforcement has been delegated to the Inspection Department. The county government has less work to do, and the county government has to report to the prefect's government office to have less work.
In this way, Wang Yongji can free up his hands to think about these pragmatic issues, instead of being busy like a spinning top like the traditional one.
In total, there are three replies that are relatively high quality.
The first one is about if something bad happens but the law does not authorize punishment, that is a legal problem. On the one hand, the law must be revised, and on the other hand, scholars and officials must use their conscience when judging. The law inherently authorizes flexible space. The question of whether it can be done without amending the law is not asking how to deal with it, but just making excuses for one's own inaction.
Wang Yongji was very angry with this answer, but it was still the most read answer. Do today’s scholars just stop doing business and just curse others with their mouths?
The second one is about seeing whether it has a major impact. If a bad thing is not authorized by the law, as long as the bad thing does not have a significant impact on others, then it is fine to turn a blind eye for a long time. The government should not think that it can eliminate all bad things. The people cannot afford the tax burden required by such a government. In general, it is better to let the parties concerned negotiate among themselves. If negotiations can't be done, it won't be too late to intervene if big trouble occurs. The people have the obligation to fight for their own interests and should not leave it entirely to the government.
This is a loyal and honest person. Wang Yongji had a particularly good impression of this second place finisher. Although he said that the people should not rely on the government, it was because he was noble and upright, and he was considerate of the court. The more I watch it, the more I like it. This man is a very loyal minister.
The third one was directly promoted to a famous person. The key to the problem is how to define good and bad. Because the distinction between good and bad is inconsistent with the legal authority to superviseSupervision and non-authorization are two completely different dimensions. This immediately divided it into four quadrants. This question shows a lack of structure. The person asking the question has not yet realized that reality is more complicated than he imagined. In addition, instead of worrying about the bad things that are dealt with without authorization, we should first think about what is good and bad, and what to do when the legal authorization conflicts with good and bad. Also, as a reminder, good and bad are not just Confucian standards. From a moral or heart perspective Tell me, what are good and bad?
Obviously the third person is really powerful. Wang Yongji could tell almost immediately that this person was definitely a disciple of Gao Hanwen or a student of the University of Economics.
After being scolded for a day, I got three ideas without spending a lot of money. Wang Yongji was still very happy, so he left ten taels of silver for Tianya Zhidao Pavilion as a reward for these three people, and asked the scribe to make an appointment for the three people to meet at Xiaolian Tea House later.
It’s just that these three people are not polite, and they have to think of an excuse for meeting.
After thinking about it, it was taught by Gao Shilin before. A friend of mine said this is appropriate. As long as it is my friend who asks the question and not myself, there will naturally be no awkwardness when we meet.
