Confucian and Taoist scholar
Chapter 472 The saints abstain from the final vote
Many great scholars looked at each other, no one spoke at this moment, everyone remained silent.
"All of you, gentlemen, have already read the "New Laws of China" written below. I wonder what your views or opinions are on this?"
Du Ning glanced at everyone.
Lu Xionghua opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something more, but he held back what he just said, not knowing what words to use to continue to refute Du Ning.
After a long while, Fan Heshan said: "Du Jun's "New Laws of China" has a unique conception, which can be said to be the first of its kind for Legalism. The eight words you proposed, 'Everyone is equal before the law,' can be said to be perfect. But
That would undoubtedly completely deprive the All Saints Family of many privileges."
Previously, Du Ning proposed to abolish many unreasonable privileges of the All Saints family, which caused a certain degree of damage to the interests of the All Saints family. However, in terms of the overall effect, it also made many domineering and domineering children of the family restrain themselves, and they barely managed to stay in the All Saints family.
Within the acceptable range of the family.
But Du Ning's purpose in "The New Law of China" once again slashed the privileges of many aristocratic families.
Lu Xionghua said: "Du Jun, you have repeatedly shaken the foundation of the All Saints Family. What are your intentions? The All Saints Family has made great contributions to the human race, and they deserve to enjoy the privileges and benefits of the Holy Academy. What you do is tantamount to
Aren’t you afraid of completely offending all the saints’ families and becoming the losers of all the efforts you have put in to obliterate all the saints and sages?”
Du Ning said righteously: "Du is not trying to deny the contributions of the All Saints Family in the past, but to protect the interests of the general public. In other aspects, the All Saints Family should enjoy privileges, such as receiving subsidies from the court, such as the due imperial examination quota
, or the student status of the Guoxue Palace, etc., but before the law, the All Saints Family should not enjoy preferential legal treatment."
"Absurd!"
Lu Xionghua was even more angry: "I think Du Jun is the only one in the world who dares to say such rebellious words."
Du Ning said calmly: "Let me give you a simple example. An ordinary person with no fame kills a scholar from an aristocratic family. According to the current laws of our human race, if a common person commits murder, he should be beheaded in public, and conversely,
Because scholars from aristocratic families enjoy privileges, even if they conflict with ordinary people, or even beat them to death, they will only serve a few years in prison and pay a small amount of money. In this way, if scholars from aristocratic families bully the common people, the common people will not be able to do so.
I dare not resist, because it is also a crime of murder. People who kill people deserve to die, but scholars who kill people can be punished and receive meritorious service. This is really unfair to the people."
Lu Xionghua sneered and said slowly: "Scholars will gain fame after passing the imperial examination, and after practicing Confucianism and Taoism, they will nourish their talents and become strong, let alone the children of aristocratic families? It is natural to receive preferential treatment in the law, since ancient times.
That’s it.”
Du Ning retorted: "Sir, what you said is wrong. As the old saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. It is true that scholars have talent and power, but if this power is used in the wrong place, the people will suffer.
, Isn’t it ridiculous that scholars keep claiming that they want to work for the welfare of the people, but in the end they stand on the opposite side of the people?"
An old Confucian said: "When scholars make mistakes, they will be punished by the laws of various countries. Du Jun does not need to worry about this, and the examples Du Jun cited are only a few..."
"Minority?"
Du Ning shook his head, and then said with great seriousness: "Such examples are too common. Who among the disciples of aristocratic families is not arrogant? Du Mou studied in Hanyi Club in his early years. Those aristocratic family members and powerful children with a little status and background
Who doesn’t bully a poor family? Literati compete for fame and fortune. I guess that’s what you did when you were young, right?”
Many scholars suddenly looked ashamed and angry, as if Du Ning had told them what they were thinking, and their expressions became very ugly.
"You...you..."
Even Lu Xionghua's face was red at this moment.
Du Ning sighed: "That's right. The reason why you gentlemen are able to stand in this place for a meeting and achieve today's great Confucian cultivation is that most of them rely on the deep heritage of their families and their extensive connections. They have received more education than others.
With a good education, you can take advantage of the literary reputation of a poor family, but when you were young, didn't you do something outrageous based on your family? Didn't you make serious mistakes?"
"Presumptuous!"
"Bold!"
Many great scholars were furious and shouted angrily at Du Ning, because Du Ning's words simply accused most of the great scholars.
The great scholars from all the countries present here were all arrogant and unruly scholars when they were young. At that ignorant age, there were even many romantic people who did many things to bully others, thinking that they would be very popular.
, very arrogant, and can better demonstrate his identity as a child of aristocratic family.
As they grew older and gained more experience, they began to cultivate their moral character, gradually getting rid of their bad habits, pursuing Confucianism and Taoism wholeheartedly, and forgetting the ugly black history of the past.
Now hearing Du Ning's overt and insidious sarcasm, and even the behavior of criticizing Sang and Huai, some great scholars couldn't help but recall their past, when they were arrogant and arrogant, defying the sky and the earth, and the air.
Even the young people in the past who did not take the giants in the literary world seriously.
There are also some great scholars who committed serious crimes when they were young, and used the privileges of their aristocratic families to reduce their sentences. After experiencing some ridiculous and regrettable things, they decided to correct themselves and start a new life.
I can’t imagine what would happen if the children of aristocratic families did not have the protection of legal privileges.
"Quiet!"
Conde also shouted loudly and said coldly: "This is the Hall of Confucianism, gentlemen, please stay rational."
Many great scholars closed their mouths, some sighed, some smiled bitterly, and some great scholars still had angry expressions on their faces.

Kongde continued: "Although Du Jun's words are not pleasant to hear and make some people feel very uncomfortable, and even think that Du Jun is exaggerating, we might as well look at it from another angle. Du Jun stands for the common people.
Considering the interests of others, his examples are also to the point. If the children of aristocratic families act recklessly based on their privileges, it will also cause great harm to the common people."
After hearing what Comte said, many great scholars could only calm down the negative emotions in their hearts.
Some great scholars heard that Comte's words were somewhat biased towards Du Ning.
Du Ning thought to himself that Kong De was indeed the most virtuous and respected Confucian in the Confucian Hall. What he said was extremely fair and would be very convincing to anyone who heard it.
Lu Xionghua said: "In any case, I will not agree to the existence of the "New Laws of China". Such laws that subvert the saints' family are simply not suitable for our human race."
Fan Heshan asked Fu Shuyun on the other side: "Pingguang Jun, what do you think?"
"Of course I support Du Jun unconditionally."
Fu Shuyun said without hesitation: "Du Jun is a genius that our human race has not seen for thousands of years. I don't want to say anything else. Previously, Du Jun said that he wanted to abolish the unreasonable privileges of the Saints' Family. The families in other countries did not agree. But when the Holy Academy implements
After that, the scholars from the All Saints family had significantly restrained their usual domineering attitude, so scholars from all over the world began to praise Du Jun, which attracted a lot of praise. Du Jun's eyes were as good as those of the Saints, and the things he was looking at may not be suitable for the current situation.
, but it will definitely become popular in the near future."
"Haha... Du Jun is indeed talented, but if you say that his eyesight can match that of all saints, such a compliment would be a bit excessive."
After hearing this, Lu Xionghua couldn't help laughing, and showed an unabashed look of contempt and disdain to Du Ning, expressing disapproval.
Fu Shuyun continued: "At least Du Jun's vision is far beyond the reach of a great scholar like you."
"What did you say?"
Lu Xionghua's face suddenly changed, and he said unconvinced: "Are you saying that Lu, as a great scholar, has a vision that is not as far-sighted as that of a great scholar? Ridiculous!"
"Okay, stop arguing. Where did your words go?"
Fan Heshan said solemnly: "Du Jun's talent is different from ordinary people. Even I, the half-sage of the Fan family, praised Du Jun quite a lot. This is what makes Du Jun unique. I was originally hesitant to support him."
Du Jun's "New Laws of China", now that even Pingguang Jun is extremely supportive of Du Jun, I have no reason to reject it. At worst, I, the semi-saint family of Yun State, should set an example first and give up all legal privileges.
”
Lu Xionghua said displeasedly: "Huh! The Fu family received two poems from Du Jun in a row. The original manuscripts have almost become heirlooms of the Fu family. Pingguang Jun's support for Du Jun is nothing more than reciprocating the favor."
Fu Shuyun retorted: "Mr. Du is indeed kind to our Fu family, but this is the Confucian Hall. Since I have come to this place as a member of the Wenjun family, the first thing to do is not to repay the kindness on this grounds, but to stand on the side of the human race."
Look at things from a perspective, and consider everything for the future of the human race, instead of being like some people who talk grandly, but in fact, what they think about is nothing more than the interests of their own family."
"Ping Guangjun, what do you mean?"
"Are you mocking us by relying on your old age?"
"We are all great scholars and have equal status. Please don't talk nonsense."
Many great scholars spoke out one after another and looked at Fu Shuyun with very unkind expressions.
"Haha... I was just making an analogy, but I didn't ask you to take your seat." Fu Shuyun said jokingly.
The faces of those great scholars alternated between blue and white, and they were blocked by Fu Shuyun's words.
Kong De said: "The innovative laws proposed by Du Jun abolished the penalties in the Yamen and used prison sentences as an important means of punishing prisoners to ensure everyone's legitimate interests. The various viewpoints were novel and unconstrained, which opened Kong's eyes. Although
Many of them go against the basic interests of the family's privileges, but they can guarantee the interests of the majority of the people. The pros and cons are still worthy of consideration. Today's discussion ends here, and the first collective vote will be held next."<
/p>
No one had any objections and voted immediately.
The result was as expected by everyone. Except for Fu Shuyun and Fan Heshan who chose to support Du Ning, most of the great scholars voted against it, rejecting the "New Laws of China" with an absolute advantage, while the remaining few voted for neutrality.<
/p>
Du Ning was not disappointed at all, and this result was also within his expectation.
And they are not proud of the great scholars from various countries who have temporarily gained an advantage.
According to the normal process, once the first voting result is determined, the decision can basically be sealed.
However, Du Ning is an exception. He once had the saints reject the voting results, creating a precedent for a desperate comeback.
Furthermore, there is indeed something in Du Ning's "New Laws of China", many of which the great Confucians of other countries would not even dare to think of. Just the eight words "Everyone is equal before the law" can resonate with the great Confucian's literary courage.
, which shows the importance of this "New Law of China", but many great scholars are not willing to accept it.
After the first vote, Comte asked the saints to issue a verdict.
However, a long time passed and no news was received from the saints. It seemed that the thoughts of the saints were still being discussed incessantly.
At the same time, the "New Laws of China" document on the table turned on its own, making a "clatter" sound.
This makes the great scholars from all over the world extremely nervous. This time, the saints will not reject the first voting result for Du Ning's "New Law of China", right?
After waiting for another half an hour, a curtain of light came down from the sky, and two words were written on it.
Abstain!
Many great scholars stood up one after another, staring blankly at the two in the sky, almost popping their eyeballs out.
Abstain? What does this mean?
The saints actually gave up the final crucial vote, neither opposing nor approving, which shows that the discussion among the saints has not yet yielded any results!
Rather than saying that there is no result, it is better to say that there are differences of opinion, so that a unified judgment cannot be made in a short period of time.
The discussion among the saints is extremely strict. As long as one of the half-saints denies it, the discussion has to start from the beginning.
Since the establishment of the Holy Academy, the saints have never given up the final decision-making power, either to approve or deny.
To have all the saints give up the final vote is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented.
What does this mean?
The content contained in "New Laws of China" has exceeded everyone's imagination.
At this moment, everyone involuntarily looked down and found that the "New Laws of China" written by Du Ning actually bloomed with golden light, which was extremely dazzling.
Since the saints gave up the vote, the final decision-making power rests with Comte, and his decision is the decision of the saints.
However, how could Comte dare to express his stance on something that even the saints did not dare to express his stance on?
"Ahem..."
Comte said: "Since the saints have abstained from voting, Kong declares that today's voting result is a draw, and we will discuss it another day."
Many great scholars felt short of breath, and all the saints abstained from voting. This is really terrible, and will definitely go down in history, but no one is happy, but worried.
