Plain - equality?

All the students were stunned when they heard this. This may be the first time since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that someone has proposed the concept of equality for everyone.

Even Confucius proposed the relationship between king, king, minister, father, son and son.

You should know that the people sitting here are all nobles. How can they accept that they are equal to their good people, let alone slaves.

What is a slave?

It is an animal that is a little taller than a pig or a sheep.

If anyone says this normally, he will definitely be beaten to death.

But at this moment, they could only open their eyes wide and be as dumb as if they were stunned.

Because Han Yi emphasized three very important key points, the first is the emperor, the second is the royal police, and the third is the people.

In the eyes of the emperor, there are only people, and anyone is my people, and so are slaves. No one dares to say that slaves are absolutely private and do not need to recognize the emperor. The emperor has no right to dominate the life and death of slaves. This is not a rebellion every day.

The royal police are the rain and dew given to the people by the emperor. In the eyes of the royal police, as long as they are the emperor's people, they should be equal.

It's reasonable and well-founded!

Wonderful!

Changsun Yan said in his heart.

Because he believed in the Legalists, he also considered this issue for a long time. He believed that the spirit of the law should be given to the Royal Police, and that everyone should be equal under the law.

But how is this possible?

He himself was also a nobleman, and he didn't dare to raise the slogan that the prince violated the law and committed the same crime among the common people, but after Han Yi's turn, he instantly understood.

Moreover, Han Yi is very cunning. In fact, the unfairness of the law is because the imperial power is superior, but Han Yi acts the opposite and uses imperial power to introduce the concept of equality. The emperor is one level, and the rest are one level. Even if this is the emperor, the emperor will definitely agree. Maybe he will ask you, are you my people?

Dugu Wuyue also nodded silently.

Changsun Chong listened thoughtfully.

But this is impossible.

Cui Youyu said: "The deputy inspector is such a bad statement."

Han Yi smiled and said, "I hope to hear the details."

Cui Youyu said: "I remember the deputy inspector once said that the law is a weapon in the hands of the Royal Police. I wonder if I remember it wrong?"

"You remember correctly."

Han Yi said: "The sorting question just now also puts the law at the forefront."

Cui Youyu said: "Whether the land is a king's minister, this is true, but it does not mean that in Your Majesty's eyes, good men are equal to nobles. At least from the law, Your Majesty gives the nobles extremely high respect, because the nobles' contribution to the country is much higher than that of good men, and nobles should enjoy higher treatment, which has been the case since ancient times."

"The question you are talking about is very good!"

Han Yi nodded and said, "But this is different from what I am talking about. We will discuss this issue later. What I am talking about now is the spirit of the Royal Police. The law is the law, and the law exists objectively. Whether the law is perfect or imperfect, equal or unequal, we must obey it now. It's that simple, but how should we Royal Police face the people? This is what we are going to discuss today.

In the eyes of the Royal Police, they should be equal, because they are all His Majesty's people. The Royal Police are not specifically used to investigate cases, but also shoulder the responsibility of maintaining public order and helping the people. For example, a good man in front of you falls into the water, waiting for you to save, and a nobleman falls into the water, waiting for you to save.

If there is a hierarchy in the spirit of the Royal Police, then you should ignore the benevolent man in front of you and run to save the nobles there. But is this reasonable? Of course it is unreasonable. Maybe you can't save both of you. If they are both nobles, then you will definitely choose to save them. This is the most reasonable way. Then it is very unfair to this benevolent man. They have not enjoyed the rain and dew given by His Majesty, and they will even feel resistant to the People's Security Bureau, believing that they are not His Majesty's people, which will cause great damage to His Majesty's reputation. The people will think that His Majesty is lying to them. Then you have humiliated the title of Royal Police and are also ashamed of His Majesty.

Why do I emphasize this? I just want you to understand that the Royal Police has only one object, that is His Majesty’s people, not nobles, not good men, slaves, or His Majesty’s people. I know that you are all nobles. What do you think as nobles? I can’t control it. What the law stipulates, I can’t control it. But if you become Royal Police in the future, what you shoulder is the promises that Your Majesty gives to the people and the reputation of the royal family. Why should the Civil Security Bureau be called the Civil Security Bureau, not the Gui'an Bureau, not the Shu'an Bureau, not the Nu'an Bureau, not the Nu'an Bureau, this is the reason."

"Well said!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a shout outside.

Everyone turned their eyes to the door and saw a few people walking into the outside. The two leaders were Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji.

"His Majesty?"

Han Yi was stunned.

Everyone was stupid.

Changsun Wuji whispered: "You can't give me a greeting."

Li Zhiyang said, "No need." He stopped Han Yi and his students from preparing to salute.

"I'm going to see your Majesty."

Han Yi bowed and asked again: "Your Majesty, Grand Marshal, why are you here?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I just walked with the Taiwei in the garden, and I happened to talk about the Minjian Bureau. So I came over to see how you taught the class. Originally, I didn't want to disturb you, but when I heard your argument, I couldn't help but applauded and had a few words in my heart."

"It is their fate that the future Royal Police can listen to His Majesty's teachings in the process of learning." Han Yi hurriedly gave up the podium, and from the previous sentence "well said" by Li Zhi, it was clearly standing on his side.

"The teachings are not something to be said. It is because of your words that I want to say something."

Li Zhi walked to the podium and saw that all the students were standing up. He waved his hands and let everyone sit down. He then said, "For a long time, Han Yi is building this Minsheng Bureau for me, and Han Yi is helping me tell me what the Minsheng Bureau is. I have never spoken, but today I think it is necessary to say a few words. In fact, I decided to use the name "Royal Police" because of one person, and this person is Chen Shuozhen."

The audience was shocked.

Li Zhi affirmed: "Yes! It's Chen Shuozhen. This female slander confuses the public and her heart is naturally punished. But what shocked me was why a woman could gain the support of tens of thousands of people in a few months? I am deeply worried about this. How can such a country be called prosperous times?"

Many people nodded, but everyone was confused. What's the relationship between these two things?

Li Zhi continued: "Actually, after all, it is mainly because the local officials are not doing their jobs well, and the flood is unstoppable. However, after the flood occurred, the county magistrate of Qingxi County failed to make timely remedies. Instead, he forced to collect intensive taxes, until the people ignored their lives and deaths, which caused riots. But is this what I wished?

Of course not. If I were in Qingxi County at that time, I would have tried my best to save it. I remember that in the early days of Zhenguan, when our dynasty was severe, the people left their hometowns and starved to death. The situation was much more serious than that in Qingxi County, but no one rebelled. That was because the people also understood that the father and civil and military officials had tried their best to save it. The Taiwei knew the most.

Changsun Wuji nodded, and when he thought of those years, he couldn't help but feel emotion in his heart.

Li Zhi continued: "But how can people defeat nature? Therefore, although the people are in poverty, they have no complaints. They can understand the court. But I was in Chang'an at that time and didn't know how the situation in Qingxi County was. The officials of Qingxi County concealed this for their political achievements. But in the end, the people pointed the finger at me under Chen Shuo's real seduction. It is naturally my fault for using such officials, but I feel wronged, because this is not my wish. If I know the truth, I will definitely let the government open warehouses to provide disaster relief and exempt local taxes.

I couldn't help but remember the three sentences I taught me repeatedly before my father was alive. The first sentence was, "The king depends on the country, and the country depends on the people." The second sentence was, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat." The third sentence was, "The people are the most important, and the country is the second, and the king is the least". If I violate these three sentences, then I have nothing to say. However, I still remember these three sentences in mind. I often remind myself to dominate the world with benevolence. However, with my own strength, how can I manage a huge country well? Moreover, I have been in the palace for a long time and heard everything I know. Therefore, I need the help of officials of all sizes, but among these officials of all sizes, there are always treacherous people. If personal losses are caused by our Tang Dynasty, I will not be willing to do so.

Therefore, there was a Royal Police. In Han Yi's words, the Royal Police is the bridge for me to communicate with the people. I not only have to dominate the world with benevolence, but also let the people all over the world know this."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the three words "noble", "benevolent man" and "slave servant" on the wooden board, and said, "Think about it, who is the most of these three people who follow Chen Shuozhen to rebel?"

The students all stood up and bowed, "Students understand."

The emperor has said this to this point. If he still doesn't understand, he will become a fool. This is the same as the general amnesty of the world, highlighting the great grace of the emperor. The general amnesty of the world will not be judged as whether you are a noble or a commoner. Isn't it all equal? ​​This is just an emperor's art, which will win over the people and make them all loyal to him as the emperor.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said to the students: "You are so lucky. In a blink of an eye, you have become a disciple of the emperor." As he said that, he bowed to Li Zhi and said: "Your Majesty's words really make the old minister very pleased. Finally, he did not let down the instructions of the old minister."

"The Grand Marshal has been awarded too much, and I just expressed my feelings."

Li Zhi seemed a little embarrassed and said to Han Yi: "You can continue to class, don't worry about me."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to Changsun Wuji, and the two walked behind and stood with Changsun and the others.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I didn't expect Han Yi's class to be so popular, you all came to listen."

Changsun Chong said truthfully: "When you say that, the knowledge in the book can be learned at any time, but Han Yi's lessons are all knowledge that is not in the book. If you miss it, you will lose it."

Changsun Wuji laughed: "I have to listen carefully to Chong'er's evaluation."

It’s dawn! I’m here to teach, you are chatting and laughing below, just play with me! Han Yi doesn’t care who you are, I will make the decision in my class and said, “Your Majesty, Grand Marshal, can we continue to teach?”

Everyone was stunned. Changsun Wuji laughed in a low voice and said, "Your Majesty, this kid is ordering us to be quiet!"

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "I can hear it too."

Several people immediately kept silent.

Han Yi was very satisfied with his authority and felt that he was successful. He said, "Dear students, although Your Majesty and the Grand Marshal are here, don't be afraid. Discuss boldly and don't be timid. The more you are like this, the more you need to seize the opportunity and the more excited you should be, because if you have wonderful performances, the Grand Marshal may immediately recommend you to take office in the three provinces. This is an excellent opportunity. If you miss it, you may not have it."

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "I have been an official for decades. If you want to say that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, you will only see two people. Ma Zhou is one, and you are Han Yi, and you are still better than that."

"The Taiwei's words are wrong, and Han Yi is still quite afraid of me." Yuan Liehu said carelessly.

Changsun Wuji was stunned and then started to laugh.

Everyone laughed.

The atmosphere suddenly became much easier.

After a while, Han Yi said: "You all understand what Your Majesty said just now. I once said in the first class that you must know how to question, but as a Royal Policeman, you must have the spirit of the Royal Police and treat every citizen of His Majesty equally. This is not to be questioned, because this is the origin of the Royal Police. The Royal Police who questioned the spirit of the Royal Police is the same as questioning why the mother gave birth to us. This is not allowed. Of course, if you are not the Royal Policeman, then I don't care what you think."

Do you have two mouths for the word "official"? What should you ask? You must question it. If you shouldn't ask it, you cannot question it. Equality is the interest that Han Yi pursues in his heart. Of course, he has to find a way to make the students accept this.

The emperor has spoken, who dares to question it?

I have to say that Li Zhi's visit has relieved Han Yi a lot of pressure.

After a pause, he said, "I remember that Cui Youyu talked about the relationship between the current law and the three of nobles, good men and slaves just now. I think this is a very good topic. The law exists, and we must obey it, but can we question it? Even if His Majesty and the Grand Marshal are here, I dare to say that they can question it, as long as there is a basis."

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he thought to himself that this kid's lesson was indeed not found in the book.

Which book dares to say that it is a counter-revolutionary? It is necessary to create literary inquisition!

The other students were also slightly surprised and could only say that you are awesome.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Why do I dare to say that? It is because doubt is the source of progress. Our law also inherited the laws of the Sui Dynasty's Kaihuang, but our law has made a lot of improvements. I believe that this kind of improvement must be born from doubt first. If it is unconditional conviction, then what else can be improved? Then why not make progress? Of course, the result of doubt is not necessarily good, but if you can convince everyone, it must be right. If it is not right, it doesn't matter. It's important to participate."

After a pause, he said, "The law is directed at people. So when discussing the law, we should first discuss the people under the law. That is, the nobles, good men and slaves. Today, all the nobles are all nobles. I am a good man. I think we can discuss the nobles first, and slaves exist based on the nobles. While discussing the nobles, we can talk about slaves."

As he said that, he wrote three words on the wooden board and said, "What is the most expensive?"

Li Zhi suddenly said: "There are all noble children here. Compared to their statements, I want to hear what you are a farmer."

Han Yi was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, this is what you asked. If you want to say something wrong, please forgive me."
