Liang Chuan looked at Meng Liangchen. He was really a scholar. The sour smell of a scholar on his body was too strong. If Meng Liangchen knew how to kill people, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. Killing people is not killing chickens. It would take a lot of effort. Courageous!
With Meng Liangchen's talent and learning, he will be very successful in any career in the future. Not to mention being the number one scholar in high school, he will be able to get a job by just picking up the prize. Why should he ruin his future for a woman? According to the behavior of scholars in the Song Dynasty, they usually had a bad wife at home. When the wife flew up the branches, she would replace her with another one. It was rare to hear that she would kill the person directly. .
Liang Chuan looked at Meng Liangchen and said, "How did you know that Jiang Yu was pregnant?"
"When Jiang Yu died, the autopsy found that her lower abdomen was bulging. A touch of her hand revealed that she was pregnant. One corpse and two lives!"
"Then why did Jiang Yu invite you to the dry well?"
"That day she wrote in her letter that she admired my talent and that I would definitely be the number one talent in the future, but the family was full of snobs and would definitely not agree with our affairs. She wanted to talk to her face to face and persuaded me to go away from her. End of the world!”
Liang Chuan stared into Meng Liangchen's eyes and said, "Do you believe it?"
Meng Liangchen looked at it firmly and said categorically: "I am determined not to talk about my children's personal affairs until I have accomplished my great career in the imperial examination. When I saw her letter, I just wanted to enlighten her, but I didn't expect..."
"I ask you whether you believe Jiang Yu's words?"
"I..." Meng Liangchen still thought that Jiang Yu really had a crush on him, and he had this illusion in his heart that he couldn't answer Liang Chuan's question for a while.
"Okay, let's figure it out. First of all, is this letter written by Jiang Yu to you? You teach at Jiang Lizheng's home, have you ever taught Jiang Yu a word or a half?"
Meng Liangchen was stunned.
Very few women in the Song Dynasty were literate. Meng Liangchen taught in the Jiang family but never taught Jiang Yu. All the women he taught were the men of the Jiang family, and none of the women could read. It was like this. . How could Jiang Yu know how to write and write to Meng Liangchen? .
"This is the first point. It doesn't matter. Let's put it aside whether it was written by Jiang Yu. Let's go on. Jiang Yu already has a child in his belly. If it's not yours, Meng Liangchen's, it means that the father of the child is someone else. If there is someone else, she has either fallen in love with someone else or been raped by someone else. If she likes someone, she wants you to be the father of the child in my belly and makes you a cuckold... You said that the letter said that she loves you I can’t help myself. Is it true or false?”
"It's obviously an ulterior motive!" Shitou listened to the story with rapt attention, and his analysis was quite accurate!
"Let's talk about it again. The injuries on Jiang Yu's body when he died were not injuries from a fall, right?"
Liang Chuan looked into Meng Liangchen's eyes and smiled, waiting for the answer.
Meng Liangchen has been in jail for a long time, but he has never thought about the details of the case as carefully as Liang Chuan did. Hearing Liang Chuan's analysis today, he was shocked into a cold sweat.
He nodded helplessly.
"In my opinion, Jiang Yu died unjustly. I'm afraid she had a child in her heart and wanted to blame it on you, giving you the illusion that she was present at the rape. When the time comes, the child in her belly is not yours. It's also yours. In the end, you met a ruthless character. Jiang Yu's best friend didn't want his children to recognize you as their father, and he didn't want to ruin his reputation. He planned to kill Jiang Yu and then tricked you into a dry well, causing Jiang Yu to die. The illusion around you..."
"What a terrible method!" Shitou exclaimed!
"Actually, you should have thought about the joints here a long time ago. You must have been locked up in this prison for a long time!"
"Exactly..."
"Generally, if the evidence is solid, you would have been sentenced long ago, but there are many doubts in your case. Jiang Yu's family, Jiang Lizheng, must have also seen the problem. Firstly, they did not want to make it public because of the family's face. Secondly, I didn’t want my child to die in vain, so this matter has been dragged on..."
"Brother Liang, do you think Meng Liangchen will die in this situation?"
"No, there are too many problems in the case. Even if the county magistrate sentenced him to death after the fall, the file was submitted to the State Road and the Ministry of Punishment. The people above saw that the file was full of doubts and couldn't sign it, so they would definitely send it back for retrial."
Liang Chuan paused and said, "Whether Jiang Yu is on good terms with you or not, getting pregnant before marriage will disgrace the Jiang family. The best outcome for the Jiang family is to leave it unresolved!"
Although Meng Liangchen was still in jail, someone was reasoning for him to resolve the case and redress the injustice. His eyes were full of emotion and he said: "Thank you so much, Brother Liang. I will never forget my kindness!"
"No need to thank me, I didn't do anything."
Liang Chuan felt sorry for Meng Liangchen from the bottom of his heart.
In ancient times, villages had Baozheng, townships and Lizheng. The people who could serve as village officials and township cadres were all members of powerful clans. Many rural people had never even left the county or township in their lives. The biggest one was Lizheng or Baozheng above their heads. To them, the county magistrate is like a god or constellation.
Of course there will be no good consequences for offending these people.
The road to the rule of law in our country is also full of twists and turns. Before the concept of a rule of law society was established, it was a highly subjective society ruled by man. The handling of cases and law enforcement were extremely arbitrary. Even after the reform and opening up, unjust, false and wrongly convicted cases are still very common. In ancient times, it was even more painful. In many places, after imprisoning people, not to mention interrogation, sometimes they even forgot about such a high-ranking person. The time limit for handling the case was unclear, as short as three to five days. It has been unresolved for 30 to 50 years, with no law enforcement supervision or disciplinary inspection inspection. Whether and how the case will be tried depends entirely on the words of those in power. .
Liang Chuan looked at Meng Liangchen, wondering if his balls would hurt. .
Meng Liangchen also did not expect that in that small mountain village with only more than a hundred households, there would be such a prominent figure. He spoke as brightly as a lotus tongue and his thoughts were clear and knowledgeable. He boasted that he was familiar with hundreds of schools of thought. In his Comprehensive but useless. .
"I think Brother Liang will surely be named on the gold medal list in the future when it will be known to all the world!"
"Want to be named on the gold list...? Let's forget it then!"
After Liang Chuan traveled through time, his way of thinking was that of modern people, which was incompatible with the ancient Confucian tradition of loyalty and filial piety to the emperor and father. It would not be an exaggeration to even say that he was deviant from the scriptures. In addition, he longed for a free life, and even the writing brush If you can’t even write, what kind of imperial examination will you take? Scholars all fail the exam!
"Why? I admire Brother Liang's talent, Meng. It would be a pity not to take the scientific examination route!"
Naturally, Liang Chuan couldn't say that I couldn't write well and didn't dare to take the exam. For the sake of face, he still said seriously: "Since ancient times, it has been said that learning literary and martial arts will bring goods to the emperor's family. You guys just read too many books by Kong Laoer." I’ve all read it stupidly!”
Meng Liangchen's ancestor was the sub-sage Mencius. When he heard Liang Chuan's rude words towards the most sage teacher Confucius, he dared to call him Kong Laoer!
"Treasonous!"
Shitou was also frightened by Liang Chuan. If he dared to call Kong Sage Kong Laoer and let his father hear it, his butt would have to be beaten to the point where it would bloom!
The whites of Liang Chuan's eyes couldn't help but roll up, and he dug his fingers into his ear holes and said, "Keep your voice down, why are you so excited? Your ears are deafened. If you are not convinced, let's argue today. Master, I will convince you!"
Meng Liangzhou said unconvinced: "Okay! Please enlighten me!"
"Brother Liangchen, how do you think a country should be governed?"
"A country should be governed with benevolence and filial piety. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world."
"This is Confucian nonsense. If Kong Laoer's words were really useful, why would no one adopt them when traveling around the world? Instead, Qin was able to conquer the world with heavy methods?"
"The First Emperor died because of his incompetence!"
"It is said that the First Emperor was unjust, but did he ever kill a single hero during his reign? He unified the six kingdoms and resolved hundreds of years of chaos in the Warring States Period. He used the same chariot and rails and wrote the same text, built the Lingqu Canal in the south and defended the Xiongnu in the north. He single-handedly killed several generations of people. I have done all the things, which one is not a great achievement of thousands of years? The only fault is that I killed hundreds of Confucian scholars who specialized in cheating, so I have been scolded by you students of Kong Laoer for a thousand years!"
"Why did I, the great Han Dynasty, abandon the idea of strengthening the Qin Dynasty and respecting its laws?"
Liang Chuan chuckled and said, "Rhetorically, why did benevolence and filial piety be so useful that they were abandoned in the early Han Dynasty. Instead, Huang-Lao's learning became so popular that Emperor Wu Liu Chefang began to only respect Confucianism?"
Meng Liangchen was speechless for a moment.
"Let me explain to you! During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Emperor of Zhou declined. The Qin State emphasized the law and issued prohibitions. The efficiency was much higher than that of the other six countries, thus creating the world. In the early Han Dynasty, the world was in decline and the people needed to recuperate. Pure inaction was the best national policy. By the time of Emperor Wu, There are tyrannical clans, Huns invade the country, and people's thoughts are not unified, let alone unified. All these can only prove that there is no eternal strategy for governing a country. We can only adapt to the development of the times and keep pace with the times. The loyalty and filial piety you talk about is just with It’s just a political tool adapted to today’s political environment and situation!”
"Don't you also acknowledge that benevolence, filial piety and obedience are in line with God's will and public opinion?"
Liang Chuan sneered and couldn't help but snorted: "Of course we have to comply with public opinion! Let me ask you again, what should the world be based on?"
Meng Liangchen said: "The Master once said: 'Serve the king with the way, and stop if he can't do it.' Mencius also said: 'If the king has serious faults, he will remonstrate; if he repeats it and does not listen, he will change his position.' The world is naturally based on the king. !”
"The most ridiculous thing in the world is indeed the opinion of a rotten Confucian scholar!"
Liang Chuan scolded Meng Liangchen so hard that even Stone couldn't help but chuckle.
Meng Liangchen blushed and was very unconvinced.
"If King Zhou were still alive, would this kind of king be the foundation? Would the common people in that world still be alive?"
"Didn't I just say, 'If you don't listen, you will be castrated'"
"The changing of the throne is as easy as you said. The emperor said that according to your Confucianism, it was a great treasure that was inherited only in response to God's will. You said it would be changed. Do you agree? Do the officials agree to give up the dragon throne?" "
Shitou was confused and nodded repeatedly.
Meng Liangchen didn't know how to refute.
"The previous Emperor Taizong forced his father to kill his brother for the throne. My father, Emperor Taizong, forced his father to kill his brother for the throne. Even if he forced his father to kill his brother, he could be called an emperor through the ages. I think... this kind of benevolence and filial piety are not good at all!"
Meng Liangchen's face was ashen!
The effect is really immediate!
Meng Liangchen was a feudalist student who was deeply poisoned by the traditional Confucian idea of loyalty to the emperor. They were surrounded by people who learned this stuff, and it was ingrained in their bones. As for Liang Chuan, people who came to China in the 21st century had already lost the Qing Dynasty, so how could they still have the same experience as his old almanac?
"The Book of Classics and History is just a tool! If you read too many books, you don't just write down the things in the book. There are naturally many truths in the book. You just see what the thoughtful people in the book want you to see, and then you are done. What they don’t want you to see, those truths outside the books, you haven’t seen at all. If you can understand what I say today, I believe you will have another achievement!”
Liang Chuan's words completely criticized the Confucian sage education that Meng Liangchen had received for twenty years. A worldview building that had been built so hard was ruthlessly defeated and collapsed by Liang Chuan!
"Principles beyond books...Principles beyond books..." Meng Liangchen murmured this sentence without repeating it, and even burst into tears as he read it. .
A man won’t shed tears easily! Meng Liangchen's cry immediately frightened Liang Chuan and Shitou!
"Why are you crying!"
Shitou admired Liang Chuan so much. He often heard Meng Liangchen mentioned by his cousin and father. Sooner or later, he was also a genius named on the gold list. Today, when he met Liang Chuan and talked in a few words, he even cried. Back then, Kong Ming scolded Wang Lang to death, and now Liang Chuan scolds and cries good ministers, exactly the same!
"I thought I had read hundreds of books and all the principles in Wan Jiayan, but I never thought that I had never understood this most basic principle. Today, Brother Xinmeng Liang enlightened me and enlightened me. It is useless to save me. Life has the gift of reincarnation, and I will understand carefully what you said today..."
Liang Chuan took advantage of this enthusiasm to teach and winked and said: "You still don't understand a lot. I still have a lot of information here, for example... do you want to know what advanced socialist culture is, what is the scientific outlook on development and How to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of our nation?”
