This gentry culture is an inherent culture of China since ancient times, but it is not sacred and inviolable. After the founding of New China, the gentry culture was completely eradicated. Therefore, Han Yi knew that if he wanted to completely eradicate this gentry culture, there was only one way, which was to adopt violent means.

However, with today's culture, science and technology, economy and the quality of the people, they all must rely on the gentry culture, and nothing can replace the gentry culture. The emperor also needs gentry to help him govern the country.

You must act voluntarily, it will only attract more opposition and will never succeed. Therefore, Han Yi adopts a method of peace as the most important thing.

Li Zhi thought what he said was also very reasonable.

Wu Meiniang suddenly said: "But as the royal police continue to involve the judiciary of various states and counties, such problems will still emerge one after another in the future. The court should find a way to avoid this."

She has always led the problem to the gentry, because the gentry included a large number of nobles, and Wu Meiniang was firmly opposed to the aristocrats. In addition, the gentry culture originated from Confucianism, and there was no basis in Confucianism to support Wu Meiniang as the queen. What Wu Meiniang did was contrary to Confucianism, and the gentry must be disdainful of her. Therefore, she did not want peace to be the most important thing and to calm things down. Such a good opportunity must suppress those gentry.

"The queen is right!"

Li Zhi nodded, and Li Zhi was more concerned about the conflict between the People's Security Bureau and the gentry. The People's Security Bureau took the initiative, which violated the principle of not suing the people and ignoring the officials. He looked at Han Yi and said, "You have to think of a way out."

Han Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the relationship between the two is very complicated, and they support each other, but they are contradictory, and cannot be cut off with one knife. However, once the court intervenes and intends to seek change, it is very likely to trigger a nationwide change, and the situation will be out of control. Moreover, the existence of the township law is formed by the people according to their own living laws. Therefore, to change this point, you can only change with their lives and cannot act recklessly. Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty still let the court assume the responsibility of supervision and constraints, and slowly change the bad habits in the township law."

Since abolishing is impossible, we can only change it.

Wu Meiniang asked, "Is the method of cutting fingers in Xin'an Township a bad habit?"

"This is of course counted!"

Han Yi looked at Wu Meiniang. Of course, he knew that Wu Meiniang was hinting to him, saying, "But if this matter is on the side, it will be regarded as a class dispute, so His Majesty may have to come forward in person."

Li Zhi said curiously: "I'm coming forward? How do I come forward?"

Han Yi said: "Punish the minister."

Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang were both shocked.

"You asked me to punish you?" Li Zhi seemed to be questioning his hearing.

“That’s right.”

Han Yi nodded and said, "No matter what, as a royal envoy, Wei Me, who actually disregards the law, should be punished by Wei Me. In addition, Your Majesty should also praise the royal police who uphold the national laws of Xin'an Township and give certain support to the royal police. At the same time, lynching is not allowed in the countryside. The township law is only used to stabilize the place and assist the court. The court can recognize the existence of the township law, but it must not recognize the lynching in the township law, because lynching is generally inherited by the ancestors, but the times are progressing. Many township law retains the ignorant and backward ideas, and use the ancestors to determine the current affairs, which will only make the country stagnate and hinder the development of the country. Moreover, some people with ill-behaviors can also use the township law to seek personal gain. This must be more harmful than good for the country."

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "You are asking Your Majesty to lend you to kill the chicken for the monkey to see."

Han Yi said: "The Queen's Holy Ming."

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Although you said it is reasonable, I have already stated that I will not pursue it. How can I rebel now?"

Han Yi said: "This is very simple, just let someone join the book."

Li Zhi was stunned and thought to himself, it turned out that the boy had not changed at all, but had become even worse.

This time, Han Yi seemed to have changed his temperament, but in fact he became more and more powerful. He used to be just hurting others, but this time it was good, he even hurt himself.

However, Li Zhi agreed with Han Yi's suggestion that the emperor did not hold the right to reward and punish, so who would still listen to the emperor? The reason why Li Zhi was dissatisfied with this matter was that he was targeting the method of cutting the finger. First, this was a little cruel, and second, the gentry was a little arrogant, and he openly used the local law to challenge the national law. This should be given, and what should be restricted should be restricted.

On the Tai Chi Hall.

"Report to the Master, I received a piece of paper yesterday, impeaching Mr. Han to ignore the law and privately teach and receive it, and knowing that the law is violated."

At the beginning of the dynasty meeting, the Dali Temple Minister Xin Mao took the lead in standing up and attacking Han Yi.

The ministers had just woken up shortly after they were asleep and had not yet fallen asleep. When Xin Mao heard this, he cheered up all of them. What's going on?

Li Zhi's acting skills are not inferior, and he looked surprised: "What happened?"

Han Yi also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am really wronged!" He said to Xin Mao's general: "Minister of Dali Temple, don't slander people."

Xin Mao would say, "I'll ask you two days ago, did you go to Jingyang County?"

Han Yi said: "So what?"

"That's right!"

Xin Mao would take out a piece of paper and announce Han Yi’s actions in Jingyang County to the public.

After hearing this, the ministers were whispering. Many ministers didn't know about this, but most ministers felt that this was not like Han Yi's actions. How could Han Yi stand on the side of the gentry?

General Xin Mao said to Han Yi again: "Mr. Han, I have half a false statement."

Han Yi nodded and said, "It's true."

Li Zhi coughed lightly and said, "Han Yi has already reported to me about the case of Jingyang County. I don't think he has any faults. I wonder what Xin Aiqing thinks about this?"

Xin Mao General said: "Your Majesty, if everyone can take the punishment, is there any need for Dali Temple to exist? The royal police in Xin'an Township defended the national law and eliminated lynchings, but Mr. Han ignored the law and privately granted the gentry to those gentry, sheltered the gentry, and asked the royal police to ignore it. Mr. Han also served as the royal envoy. Isn't this breaking the law by knowing the law, and what is it?"

Lu Chengqing was puzzled when he heard this. Xu Jingzong also agreed at that time. Why did Xin Mao jump out again? He was loyal and thought that he should come forward to say something to Han Yi. After all, this is what everyone agrees with, and said: "We have also discussed about this matter. The village law of Xin'an Township was established by our ancestors and originated from the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, local villagers all agreed that the court should respect it."

"Shu Lu, please make sure you make this clear, what do you respect?" Xin Mao went away with a glaring look.

"I--!" Lu Chengqing was a little scared by Xin Maojiang.

Du Zhenglun hurriedly stood up and said, "Is it wrong to respect our ancestors?"

Xin Mao General said: "Du Zhongshu's ancestors were born in the Qin Dynasty and were also loyal to the Qin Dynasty. I wonder if Du Zhongshu was loyal to the Tang Dynasty or to the Qin Dynasty?"

Du Zhenglun was stunned immediately.

General Xin Mao immediately said to Li Zhi again: "Your Majesty, it is ridiculous that the people of Xin'an Township use the Qin Dynasty to stop our affairs."

Du Zhenglun said excitedly: "Do you don't even recognize your ancestors?"

Xin Mao would like to say, "It's not that I don't recognize my ancestors. Of course, I respect my ancestors, but many of the rules established by our ancestors were established according to the national laws of the time. The Qin Dynasty advocated the rule of the country with respect to the rule of the country, and their ancestors would naturally be affected by it. Therefore, they should pay attention to the rule of the country. However, our Tang Dynasty governed the country with Confucianism and Taoism, and the two were very different. Naturally, the national laws of our Tang Dynasty should be dominated by the rule of the Tang Dynasty. The court should not blindly emphasize adapting to local conditions and ignoring the conditions of the times."

Many ministers nodded frequently when they heard this, thinking that Xin Mao’s words were very reasonable.

Lu Chengqing said: "Xin Shangqing's words are not without reason, but it has been difficult for a thief in Xin'an Township for decades, which shows that the method is still worthy."

Xin Mao was the most stable town in my Tang Dynasty? I don’t think so. As far as I know, many towns commit fewer crimes than Xin'an Township, and they all follow the laws of my Tang Dynasty. The laws of my Tang Dynasty have clear regulations on thieves. Does Secretary Lu think that my Tang Dynasty’s laws are not as good as the laws of the Qin Dynasty?”

Lu Chengqing hurriedly said, "I didn't say that."

Xin Mao General said again: "And if this matter is not stopped and is condoned like Mr. Han, then everyone can abuse lynching the people under the banner of rural laws. Today, they will only cut off their fingers, and tomorrow they may be cut off their heads. What should the national law do?"

Lu Chengqing is such an honest person, facing Xin Mao's aggressiveness, he also feels guilty and immediately shut up, but at the same time he can't figure out why it turned out like this.

Xin Maojiang felt very happy when he saw that Lu Chengqing was speechless by him, but at the same time he also deeply felt Han Yi's power, which really made him convinced.

Xu Jingzong suddenly stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the old minister believes that the Dali Temple Minister's words are justified. Mr. Han's actions will only make the royal police disheartened. If this continues, it will not help the development of the People's Security Bureau, because it is contrary to Your Majesty's original intention of establishing the People's Security Bureau."

Li Yifu also stood up and said: "Although the court respects the rural laws, it cannot let them do whatever they want. The rural laws should respect the national laws. Even if what Xin'an Township does is reasonable, the court should take the overall situation into consideration and cannot allow anyone to abuse lynching."

After seeing Lu Chengqing and Master Xu, they all despised Xu Jingzong and Li Yi's mansion. They said it well that night. This time, when they saw that Han Yi was impeached, they immediately changed their original intentions. You have no principles.

They all think that this was Xu Jingzong, and Li Yifu deliberately used this matter to attack Han Yi. This was a pure political struggle, and all rural French law was an excuse.

Du Zhenglun snorted: "Li Zhongshu, remember that you were also present when you were talking about this matter that night. That's not what you said at that time."

Li Yifu said: "I do not oppose the township law. I just oppose the abuse of lynching. Even if I have to be sentenced, Dali Temple should be sentenced. Can Du Zhongshu guarantee that no one in this world uses the township law for personal gain?"

Of course, Du Zhenglun couldn't guarantee it.

Li Zhi pondered for a while and said, "These beloved ministers are all right, so what do you think Xin Aiqing thinks should be done?"

Xin Mao General said: "First, the Minister of State Han must be severely punished to serve as a warning. Secondly, the royal police in Xin'an Township are praised, who bravely defend the laws of the country and defend the benevolence and righteousness of His Majesty. Finally, lynching is strictly prohibited, and no one can abuse lynching."

Master Xu said carefully: "But if there is no punishment, how can the law in the country establish its authority?"

Xin Mao was about to say, "Mr. Xu's words are wrong. The local law is formed based on the living customs of the people. The local gentry wins the respect of the people with fame. If the people are established with punishment, wouldn't it be a bullying of the people and forcing the people to obey him? Will this help the stability of the country? In addition, is there no punishment in our country's laws?"

Master Xu was very surprised. How could this general Xin Mao, who was born in a military general, become so eloquent all of a sudden.

What surprised them even more was that Han Yi, who had always been versatile, was speechless in his refutation.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Xin Aiqing said it very reasonably. The court has always respected the rural law very much and agreed with the role of the gentry in national stability. However, lynching is ultimately undesirable. Any punishment must be carried out by the court. Otherwise, if the rural law establishes its authority, the authority of the national law will be questioned and will be unfavorable to the country. As for the Xin'an Township case, since the Xin'an Township cut-off law has always existed, it will not be pursued this time, but it will not be an example. At the same time, the imperial court must order that anyone abuses lynching, otherwise it will be severely punished."

Xin Mao General said: "Your Majesty, although the gentry in Xin'an Township is understandable, Minister Han is indeed a violation of the law. Moreover, Minister Han was the first to propose it. If Minister Han is not punished severely, I am afraid that the people in the Min-Safety Bureau will follow His Holiness and seek peace in everything, and it is difficult to do something. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked."

Han Yi said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, this is really unfair! I am doing this to take into account the overall situation."

Xu Jingzong said: "Mr. Han is only concerned about Xin'an Township, and the Dali Temple Minister is truly considering the overall situation. Moreover, Your Majesty strictly prohibits lynching, which is to establish the authority of national law. If you ignore your knowledge of the law and ignore your deafness, how can you convince the public?"

Li Zhi nodded: "Han Yi, although your actions are reasonable, after all, you have not enforced the law impartially, and I cannot shelter you. In this way, I will punish you for one year and suspend your post in the Civil Security Bureau for three months as a punishment."

Han Yi said with a grievance: "Your Majesty is wise."

The victim said so, and the other ministers could only shout: "Your Majesty is wise."

After leaving the court, Han Yi stood on the steps with his hands on his hips and cursed in anger: "tmd, no matter what I do, I will be wrong. If anyone dares to provoke me again in the future, I will care about you, such a gentry and nobleman. I will fight you to the death, anyway, it will be wrong."

Just as Choi Yi-jung happened to pass by, and when he heard this, he subconsciously turned his eyes to Han Yi.

Han Yi said angrily: "What are you looking at? I am just so virtuous. If you don't accept it, you will bite me."

Cui Yizhong was almost crazy when he heard this. The people in the market were just people in the market, but he didn't fight with him. He just snorted angrily, waved his sleeves, and left angrily.

If Cui Yizhong hadn't pounced on him, but today, he could understand Han Yi. After all, Han Yi was so embarrassed when he stood on the side of the squire for the first time.

Later, the minister who came out saw Han Yi standing at the door of Tai Chi Hall cursing, he was really desperate. He dared not provoke him, so he avoided this madman and went down the steps on both sides.

"Mr. Han is really good at taking advantage of the problem!"

Xu Jingzong was not afraid of Han Yi. When he walked past Han Yi, he said with a smile.

Han Yi glanced at him and said with confidence: "This is what I deserve. If you are suspended for three months, you can also stand here and curse. I have absolutely no objection."

"I want to scold you too, but unfortunately, I am not from the market, and I don't know how to scold you if I want to scold you." Xu Jingzong said sarcastically.

Han Yi said: "I want to learn, I will teach you!"

"Thank you, Minister Han, for your kindness, but I'm so old that I may not be able to learn it anymore. I'm going to take the lead."

After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he left.

Han Yi muttered: "You don't just take one step first, it won't take long to get you buried."

And two people stood behind the corridor column on the left side of the Tai Chi Hall, Li Zhi and Zhang Desheng.

"Mr. Han is so stupid that he is actually in front of the Tai Chi Hall gate." Zhang Desheng looked at Han Yi and muttered.
