I am the king of the dead

Wang Wen transferred the case to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs held the Huguang Procuratorate accountable, which involved the top priority of being promoted.

Why did Wang Chui undress?

The Lushui River surged, and the river was extremely fast. At this time, he jumped down to save people, wearing cumbersome clothes. If he couldn’t be saved, he even paid for himself. Wang Chui took off his clothes to save people, not to pollute them in vain. clean.

The interesting thing about this matter is that Miss Fan resolutely refused to sue, not thinking that her innocence was tarnished, but Miss Fan's cousin jumped up and down, insisted on suing, and made a big fuss.

This case involved farms and local prefectures and counties, the top priority of local power distribution. Qingshan Farm refused to hand over people, and even conflicts occurred between government servants and local peasant volunteers.

It also involves the controversy over ethics, whether Wang Chui's rescue of people in an emergency involves "no adultery".

The answer Yu Shiyue gave was that it is expedient, Wang Chui is not wrong, and Qingshan Farm is not wrong, but it is time to check whether there is any beneficial relationship between the county magistrate of Chongyang and this female cousin of the Fan family.

The concubine generals and commanders who graduated from the lecture hall and the lecture hall organize farms in the countryside without any power in their hands, so how can it be possible?

Qingshan Farm has the right to question cases with objections, and taking into account traffic and other issues, the maximum protection period is one year.

Wang Chui was not wrong, it was the conclusion given by Yu Shiyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and he didn't even need to go to the Ministry of Rites to inquire about etiquette.

Because this is a question that was discussed thousands of years ago in the pre-Qin period.

Once, Chunyu Kun saw Mencius sitting and discussing Taoism, and asked: "Whether men and women give or receive each other, what is the etiquette?"

Mencius replied: "Li also."

Chunyu Kun asked again: "Sister-in-law is drowning, can I help her?"

Mencius replied again: "If a sister-in-law drowns and does not help, she is a jackal. If a man and a woman don't give or receive kisses, it is a matter of courtesy; if a sister-in-law drowns and helps her, she has power."

It is of course a courtesy whether a man or a woman gives or accepts a relationship, and it is also a courtesy to those who are drowning in helping each other.

Wang Hammer does not violate the etiquette and morality, and it does not involve the criminal name of "no husband and wife".

Zhu Qiyu Zhu criticized Yu Shiyue's memorandum and said: "Let Huguang Governor Du Yushi check it out, let He Zongxian write the essay, just take a routine school examination."

If there is no problem with the magistrate of Chongyang County, the names of the censors of the Ming Dynasty can be written upside down.

The facts are clear and ironclad, and there are many people who testify about things that everyone praises, but the county magistrate made it look like this. If the county magistrate of Chongyang really gave the Chongyang county magistrate eighty sticks, it is the world's morale that is declining, and people's hearts are not old. Ritual collapsed.

To be a county magistrate, at least one must be born in Juren. Can you not read "Mencius"?

After all, it's all about profit.

According to Huguang's investigation files, the daughter of the Fan family had just died, and the Fan family had no eldest son, only one young son.

If this case is settled, and the cousin of Fan's daughter-in-law dominates the huge family business, how much the county magistrate of Chongyang can earn depends entirely on the cousin's filial piety.

"Your Majesty, I have already checked." Xing'an brought another memorial from the table, which was written by Li Shi, Governor of Huguang, and it contained the impeachment of the County Magistrate of Chongyang.

Xing'an opened the memorial and said: "It's not been a day or two since Li Shi investigated the matter of the magistrate of Chongyang County, and we just arrived together."

Zhu Qiyu finished reading the memorandum, and after Zhu criticized it, he said with some emotion: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has been playing its original role recently, and I am very relieved."

Xing Anlue said with some eccentricity: "That's right, the governors of various places just got a definite rank, and the third-rank Beijing officials are all censors, and the six ministers are only the second-rank. It’s only natural to perform well.”

Eunuchs and civil officials are naturally hostile. Even if Xing'an doesn't do it deliberately, he will unconsciously express some dissatisfaction with the civil officials between the lines.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "Hey, that's wrong."

"Hu Wei also said before that the atmosphere of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not good. It was because I transferred away the smart and capable people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Yu Qian, Wang Wen, Chen Yi, Li Binyan, Li Xian, etc. were transferred one after another. As a result, the Metropolitan Procuratorate had no backbone. .”

"As for the promotion, it's actually not the case. It's just a name. If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. I can't just let the horse run and not let the horse graze."

"It is unrealistic to produce a thousand catties per mu in saline-alkali land."

"Your Majesty is wise." Xing'an bowed his head and said, for Xing'an, everything His Majesty said was right, and of course he would not argue with His Majesty.

After ten years, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has finally resumed its original functions in the hands of He Zhang with one hand, how could Zhu Qiyu not be pleased?

"Your Majesty, Ivan, the son of the Principality of Moscow, asks for an audience." A small yellow door came in and reported.

Zhu Qiyu raised his hand and said, "Xuan."

Zhu Qiyu received Ivan III in the Imperial Study Room of Juxian Pavilion in the Lecture Hall.

When Ivan III walked in, his instrument was magnificent, and he bowed three times and kowtowed five times in accordance with the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and shouted long live three times.

"I didn't expect you to speak these two Chinese sentences with a perfect accent. You should be flat." Of course Zhu Qiyu is good at Greek and Latin, after all, he can learn foreign languages ​​with Elena.

But Zhu Qiyu still speaks Chinese, which is a ritual.

Zhu Qiyu took a good look at Ivan III. This 19-year-old young man gave off a domineering, sharp-edged feeling. He had a sharp-edged face unique to Slavs, and his eyes were particularly firm.

Ivan III was also secretly observing the Emperor Ming. What surprised him was that the man in front of him seemed ordinary, except for his heroic spirit.

Ivan did not feel the majesty that is unique to the superior from the most honorable person in the world in front of him. His Majesty does not have the kind of sternness that makes people respectful, and is not even as good as the bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty.

But the person in front of him is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, how could he be ordinary?

If Hu Wei is here, it can naturally explain the doubts in Ivan's heart. Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.

Tao is nature.

It is reality, life, food, clothing, food, housing, transportation, action and words, governance and desire, a solid foundation in the metaphysical, a rich metaphysical spirit, sharpness and disputes, and the hustle and bustle of society and the crowd.

"I'm a guest from afar, Xing'an offers me a seat to watch tea." Zhu Qiyu said quite seriously: "You come from afar, and I will not treat you lightly. If something happens, you must not act rashly and talk to Honglu Temple. Don't decide yourself. Let alone a duel."

The dueling culture of the Slavs is hard to describe.

Chapter 797 Mistaking recklessness for bravery

Duel, white gloves, a long sword, a fight to the death in the arena.

Duels seemed to be an elegant act of conflict resolution between nobles.

The birth background of dueling culture is quite complicated.

For example, the city-state system left by Rome on top of Western Europe. There are frequent battles between city-states and frequent military disasters in Western Europe. Everyone needs to rely on force to survive. When encountering injustice, they naturally resort to force;

For example, there is a proverb in Rome that the law is always changing. In the West, we cannot say that there is no law, but that it is better to say that it is better than nothing.When there is a conflict between individuals, there is no public instrument to make a ruling. Because of the long-term absence of referees, duels must be used to resolve conflicts.

For example, Taixi was in the middle ages like purgatory on earth, under the bad production relationship of strong personal attachment, almost all things had to be won by duels to win their own justice, since this bad world cannot achieve basic justice, Then use life and death as the bet, the big noble and the little knight have only one life, and the duel is the bet.

The prevalence of private fighting, in addition to exacerbating internal friction, will inevitably lead to a social atmosphere that despises the family and the country and values ​​the country, and is brave to fight privately rather than publicly. , is flinching.

In the pre-Qin period, private fights were common. This phenomenon was not limited to the Qin state. Shang Yang made special regulations on private fights during the reform. After the new law was promulgated, there were still private fights in Xia busy time. The rest of the people were all beheaded, and the wind of private fighting stopped immediately.

Therefore, Shang Yang has also been criticized. It is said that Shang Yang is: the punishment of engraving a knife and saw inside, and the punishment of deep iron ax on the outside; The Wei River is completely red.

Lixin, who migrated to wood and established faith, was not as simple as obtaining gold by carrying a piece of wood on his back. In order to implement the new law, Ying Si broke the law, and even Ying Si's teacher, Gong Ziqian, was tortured and his nose was gouged.

As Zhu Qiyu said before, change, when the knife goes down and you see blood, you have to continue, because this is a matter of life and death.

Qin law has been practiced for a hundred generations, and private fighting has been strictly prohibited in all dynasties.

Tai Shigong's evaluation of Shang Yangzhi's private struggle is: after ten years of traveling, the people of Qin are happy, the road does not pick up lost things, there are no robbers in the mountains, and the family has enough.The people are brave in public wars and timid in private battles, and the villages and towns are in great order.

There is a big difference between Daming and the Principality of Moscow. Not only does Daming not advocate private fighting, it is even strictly prohibited. If Ivan engages in a duel in Daming, no matter the outcome, the murderer will die.

"I must engrave it in my heart, I dare not forget." Ivan bowed his head and said hurriedly.Of course, Ivan must pay special attention to the warning from the Ming emperor.

Ivan was a little nervous, because the next words were a little out of date, he bowed his head and asked, "Dear Ming Emperor, I have a doubt that has troubled me for a long time, please answer my question generously, may Your Majesty know about our Principality of Moscow? ?"

"I don't know, I won't meet you." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Princess Rome traveled thousands of miles to the capital. I don't know anything about the land of Taixi, and I even know it very well."

"For example, the Holy Roman Empire actually formulated the "Golden Edict" and identified seven electors. Was the emperor elected?"

"The cliff is in front of you, and the wolves are behind you. Do you hope that the cliff is not deep enough, or do you hope that the wolves don't eat people?"

The last sentence was spoken by Zhu Qiyu in Greek. This is a Roman proverb, a famous saying of Constantine I. At that time, the Franks and Goths invaded the Eastern Roman Empire, and Constantine I was organizing to retreat from the enemy. , cried out, calling on the Romans to repel the Franks and Goths.

Ivan never expected that His Majesty could know Greek, and he was so familiar with it. He also understood why Ma Huan, the minister of Honghe Temple, always translated the emperor's Chinese into Greek instead of his words. Chinese.

Because there is no need for it at all, His Majesty can understand it completely.

"Your Majesty's erudition is astonishing, but also admirable." Ivan admired. In his eyes, Daming is extremely arrogant. This kind of arrogance is reflected in many places, such as the barbarians in the population of Daming, In the eyes of Daming people, they are no different from beasts.

But at this moment, he realized that as a beacon of civilization, Daming was more civilized than he had imagined. Looking at the Emperor of Ming in front of him, the most honorable person in the world, he was still full of respect for the world.

Ivan III asked quite sincerely: "Your Majesty, what do you think of our Principality of Moscow?"

"How to evaluate?" Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea and said very seriously: "The Principality of Ross is divided into three, and the Slavs are also divided into three parts, east, west and south. They fight each other and fight each other."

"I laugh at the golden edict of the Holy Roman Empire, but the seven German electors come from the seven ancient tribes of the Germans, and even the seven ancient tribes can sit down and talk."

"The three Mrs. Lars are of the same type and the same spirit. Why is the only way to solve the problem is to fight endlessly?"

"If you want to fight, use all your strength to annex the opponent completely in one fell swoop!"

"The more they are torn apart, the deeper the wound will be, and the more alienated they will be, and in the end it will be full of mess and feathers all over the place."

"I am not against war, but recklessness cannot be regarded as bravery."

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Central Plains Dynasty, the north and the south were torn apart violently, but the heroes of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties all took it as their mission to unify the world.

Shenzhou Lu Shen, Hu Yuan ruled the Central Plains for a hundred years, and the Ming Dynasty still tenaciously took root and sprouted on this land, and finally stood on this land with intertwined roots, and finally bridged the rift between North and South.

Ma Huan translated this passage word for word, and Ivan's face turned green and pale immediately.

The logic of this passage is very complete. Even the Holy Roman Empire, a seven-piece empire in bulk, can still maintain a certain degree of unity, but the Slavs have continued civil wars.

And regard recklessness as bravery, this sentence is even more like a criticism of accusation.

Zhu Qiyu saw Ivan's embarrassment, so he said smoothly: "Young man, if you feel unwell, today's performance is right, come here, you go back and have a good rest, and go to the Siyi Hall to study."

With such sharp criticism, Ivan, as a heir who was raised as the founder of the All-Russian Kingdom since childhood, would become angry from embarrassment no matter how well-trained he was.

Zhu Qiyu's words were not polite at all, since he didn't like to hear them, he didn't need to say them.

"I'm not uncomfortable, my respected and wise Majesty, your words are my light to move forward." Ivan said excitedly: "A wise man should not only hear words of praise, because everything is not perfect."

His Majesty's words were really hard to hear, but they solved many confusions in Ivan's heart, especially what the so-called All-Russian Kingdom looked like. Finally, in a few words of His Majesty, there was a clear and definite way.

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight, and looked at Ivan III again, thinking whether it would be more appropriate for the Tiqi to hold this guy down and cut him right there?When the time comes, find a reason, such as disturbing Sheng Jia, to confess.

The United States can destroy the country because of a tube of washing powder, and Ming Dynasty, who is also a lighthouse, executes Ivan because of disturbing the holy car and prevents the establishment of the All-Russian Kingdom, which is very reasonable.

Obviously, Wang Fu, Wang Yue, Chen Xun, Hu Wei, and Ma Huan's judgment on Ivan was correct, and he was an outstanding man.

Zhu Qiyu warned straight to the point that the dueling culture that Ivan regards as a symbol of honor is worthless in Daming.

Then, it compared the conflict and cooperation of the seven ancient Germanic tribes behind the electoral system, criticized the internal friction among the Slavs, and showed a joke to the three western barbarians.

And Zhu Qiyu also made his personal judgment on the fighting methods of the Slavs, which is to regard recklessness as bravery.

Such ugly words, at Ivan's age, after hearing it, shouldn't he argue, or leave violently?

But no, Ivan sat there properly, and continued to listen to the admonition.

Zhu Qiyu was silent for a moment and said: "The Principality of Moscow has accumulated a lot of wealth because it has collected taxes for the Golden Horde. This wealth is even jealous of the Khan of the Golden Horde, and often sends envoys to ask for tribute. The Golden Horde clashes."

"Ill-gotten wealth is like flowing water. It comes quickly and goes quickly. It is easy to come, but it may also be dissociated because of the uneven distribution of spoils."

The strength of the Principality of Moscow is due to the collection of taxes from the Tatars of the Golden Horde. This tax collection process is often accompanied by bloody killings and looting. Those who participate in the looting and killing must fill their own pockets , will be handed over to the Grand Duke of Moscow, and the Grand Duke of Moscow will share the account with the Golden Horde.

This kind of blood tax cannot be collected after the establishment of the All-Russian Kingdom, and the country will die after it is collected.

Mencius said: What can we say to those who are not benevolent?Safe from danger and benefit from disaster, enjoy the cause of death.If you are not benevolent but talkable, how can you destroy the country and lose the family?

Nothing to talk about with the unkind?Take danger for safety, take disaster for profit, and regard things that lead to the ruin of the country and family as happiness.Such a heartless person, if he can say anything to the heartless person, how can there be such a thing as ruining the country and ruining the family?

Zhu Qiyu and King Jili have nothing to say, killing with a sword is the best communication.

Ivan only felt a surge of energy and blood in his heart, making him blush, and Ivan wanted to refute.

His Majesty's words are equivalent to saying to his face that the family he has been proud of for the past 19 years is not only not worthy of pride, but should even be ashamed. It is equivalent to saying that all the glory in the past was nothing but robbery.

But Ivan had no way to refute it, because it was a fact. He bowed his head very sincerely and said: "Thanks to the generous Emperor Ming, who illuminated my path with wisdom, although the path is still bumpy."

"It's really hard for me to speak." Zhu Qiyu still refused to accept compliments as always. He actually had a lot of compliments, but he had already promised Yu Qian and Hu Wei to tell the truth.

The truth often hurts.

"I have walked [-] miles and came to the Daming capital. I have seen too many people and things along the way. I can distinguish the good from the malicious, the honest and the bad from the sincere. With [-] points of sincerity, I thank you Your Majesty's words." Ivan walked for too long and met too many people, so of course he knew some ugly words, but they were life-saving words.

People's hearts are separated, Zhu Qiyu doesn't really care whether Ivan's thanks are sincere or not, but his body temperature is 37 degrees, and he can't say more cold words.

The next performance was a feast for the host and guest. Zhu Qiyu was listening most of the time, and Ivan told a lot of anecdotes about Taixi.

For example, on the English Islands, the red rose Lancaster family and the white rose York family fought fiercely for the throne of England;

Poland has won successive victories in the war with the Teutonic Knights, but it still cannot completely destroy the resistance of the Teutonic Knights;

The mighty conqueror Ottoman Sultan Fatih touched his nose in Belgrade, a small city with less than 6000 defenders. The white knight Janos Hunyadi led 6000 people to resist the westward advance of the Ottoman Kingdom .

After Zhu Qiyu learned about it in detail, he realized why Yadiger of the Black Sheep Kingdom failed to wait for Ottoman's reinforcements in Herat.
