"I've read some books recently," Liao Xing continued without waiting for Wu Weiye's answer, "I forgot where the story came from, it said that Master Zheng Guo's son was sick..."

""Zuo Zhuan", the 20th year of Duke Zhao." Wu Weiye's face became darker, and he directly put Liao Xing into the list of ignorant and incompetent.

"Probably so." Liao Xing had no penchant for research, and said casually, "He is the No. [-] man. Since you already knew it, why didn't you understand it when it comes to politics?"

"Zuo Zhuan? The 20th Year of Zhao Gong": The son had a disease, and the uncle said: "I die, and the son will be in charge. Only the virtuous can subdue the people with leniency, and the second is fierce. Husband, fire, the people look forward to it." Fear it. Water is cowardly, and if people play with it, they will die, so it is difficult."

Because of the explosive nature of fire, people will be afraid when they see it, so few people die playing with fire.The water is soft and soft, cool and pleasant, and the people play in the water without fear, so many people drown.

As the ruler of the state of Zheng, Zichan was regarded by Confucius as an ancient sage.The territory of Zheng State that he governed is a small part of Kaifeng Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion in Henan Province today, and it is precisely because of this that Liao Xing knows about Zichan.

Unlike Wu Weiye, Liao Xing had never been influenced by the thought of governing the people with leniency, so he felt that what Zichan said made sense, so he acted accordingly, choosing to use fire to govern the people instead of Huairou.

Wu Weiye shook his head and said: "Zichan is certainly a benevolent man in ancient times, but it is a pity that he was born before Confucius, so he does not know the virtues of benevolence, and does not understand the principle of benevolent people loving others. He is still biased towards the wrong path of magicians."

Liao Xing was really laughed at this time, and said: "I don't know why Confucius was praised for his administration. It's useless to talk too much, Brother Meicun, let's think about it. But from what I heard, it seems that Huaiqing is not a gentle man. "He drank the mutton soup in one gulp, took out two food stamps and pressed them under the bowl, and didn't bother to ask someone to play the official card and ring the gong to clear the way.He took people to the city alone.

Wu Weiye returned to the sedan chair, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he couldn't even speak.It was Uncle Zhong who asked people to carry the sedan chair into the city first.

After entering the city gate, a smile could be seen on the faces of the people.Although the flow of people is still not much.It is far from being able to compare with the prosperity of the Wanli period, but in the war-torn land of Henan, it is extremely difficult to have such an order.

All the officials who rushed to Luoyang were arranged in the Dechang Palace.Dechang Prince's Mansion was the county prince's mansion before Zhu Yousong became King Fu.He is the eldest son of King Fu, and he is currently fleeing in Nanzhi.Because the prince and county king are not allowed to leave the fief without authorization, Zhu Yousong did not dare to come back rashly, for fear of hitting the crown prince's sword.

Now it has spread among clan relatives that the Crown Prince's attitude towards Zong Fan is not kind.So far, the only one who has won his favor is Zhu Changjie, the king of Dongyuan County.Jin Wang Family, Lu Wang, and Heng Wang were also protected, but the price they paid was really painful.

Because the meeting date has been set long ago, the days when the prefects arrive are relatively concentrated.

These people are basically civil officials of the Donggong family, and they have served as county magistrates in Shandong.Transferring to Henan at this time can be regarded as using good steel on the blade.According to the administrative method of the East Palace system, everything is handed over to the list and regulations. As long as you are a middle-aged man, you can complete the task by checking and canceling items one by one.It's nothing more than a difference in efficiency.

In fact, those who can be elected to the political party are not only middle-aged.

The Guide Mansion under the jurisdiction of Hou Fangyu is the easternmost mansion in Henan, and the road was delayed due to heavy snow. He arrived in Luoyang three days later than Wumei Village, so he finally did not delay the meeting.As soon as he arrived in Luoyang, he wanted to meet Liao Xing and Wu Weiye.The jurisdiction of the three is similar.If we communicate with each other frequently, it will be much more convenient in governance.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he discovered that Wu Weiye and Liao Xing had almost turned against each other, and it was only because of the affection of his colleagues that they did not quarrel openly.

If there is only some gap with Liao Xing, Hou Fangyu still has the confidence to reconcile, but Wu Weiye seems to have taken gunpowder this time, and he is at odds with the magistrate of Henan Province.

There are nine prefects in eight prefectures and one prefecture in Henan, and Wu Weiye was able to offend six of them.Excluding himself and later Hou Fangyu, only Sang Kaidi, the magistrate of Henan, had the experience of being a thief, behaved with his tail between his legs, and had nothing to do with the world, so he didn't see any gaps for the time being.

"What's going on?" Hou Fangyu finally found a chance to have a drink and talk with Wu Weiye in the room on the eve of the meeting.

Wu Weiye was quite depressed, and said: "Where have these people read the books of sages? They are all disciples of Shang Han!"

Hou Fangyu remembered that he had embezzled Wu Weiye's article, and he felt uneasy and ashamed all the time. He couldn't bear to see him being pushed out, and persuaded: "Meicun, the so-called heavy codes are used in troubled times. Now we, the shepherds, really have time to support the people? It is no longer easy to stabilize the place.”

"Hmph! Killing is the only thing in Anjing?" Wu Weiye refused to accept, "Liao Xing even used Zichan's leniency to argue with me. He is clearly a cruel official!"

Hou Fangyu had no choice but to smile bitterly, and calmly said: "Killing people is certainly not the way of benevolence and righteousness, but cruel officials also have their uses. Those local wealthy families are sometimes really annoying."

"You also managed to achieve An Jing in Guide?" Wu Weiye said displeased.

"That's not true." Hou Fangyu said with some pride: "My Hou family is a native of Guide after all, and my hometown always wants to show some kindness. My father is now the governor of two provinces. Even if those wealthy families don't take me seriously, they don't care about me." Don’t dare to do something secretly.”

Wu Weiye was quite envious, and sighed: "If I can return to Suzhou someday to be in politics, I will definitely not use those dirty methods."

Hou Fangyu also heard more or less about what Wu Weiye did in Huaiqing, which was one of the reasons why he was criticized.

In Hou Fangyu's view, Wu Weiye was really not smart enough.He ate all the mutton, but he put on a coquettish suit and said strange things that were out of date.Even if you are really sorry in your heart, it is enough to relax a little bit in the future, why do you have to be outstanding?

"Leaving aside the means," Hou Fangyu said, "It's inappropriate for you to say that they are doing business in Korea. If you let the officials know, I will refer you to a copy. Can you explain it clearly?"

"Everything I say is true, what do you mean by me?"

"Officials in all prefectures and counties use the work guidelines promulgated by His Highness, and there is absolutely no arbitrariness in what they do in the text. You say they are followers of Shang and Han, where do you put Your Highness?" Although Hou Fangyu didn't Shi Brown, but he has been by Hou Xun's side all the time, his officialdom experience is much more mature than Wu Weiye who is used to being noble.

Wu Weiye thought about it again, and it was indeed the case. If someone made a false accusation, it would really be a crime of slandering the country.

Even if the whole world knows that the Crown Prince does not believe in Confucianism, it cannot say so clearly.Once the emperor's family stopped believing in Confucianism, how much would this be a blow to Confucianism?The Ming Dynasty was still dominated by Confucianism. Even if Taoists could accept the theory that they were not kings, they would never tolerate someone destroying the prestige of Confucianism.

Finally, Wu Weiye lowered his head and said, "Thank you Chaozong for enlightening me, but I've gone too far."

"Your Highness has learned from the great Confucian scholars, and will never listen to the heresy of the Shang and Han generations." Hou Fangyu simply said more clearly: "In my opinion, Your Highness is just a little bit biased towards Xun Qing's theory."

When the world talks about Legalism, it has always been about Shang and Han simultaneously, but in fact the two are not the same.

Shang Yang inherited the lineage of Li Kui, paid attention to naming and stopping divisions, and used laws to restrict the production activities of the world.Just like the way of heaven sets the four seasons, all things go their own way without breaking the rules.This is actually a thought born out of Taoism.

Han Fei was called the master of Legalism by later generations, but he was a disciple of the great Confucianist Xun Kuang.His thinking seems to be similar to Shang Yang, but it is the real Confucianism.What he emphasized was "law" instead of "ritual", which is worthy of the name and reality.

Although Han Fei also wrote two articles "Jie Lao" and "Yu Lao", he believed that the monarch should do nothing, but the law must do everything, and he was called "Tao Legalist" by later generations.In fact, he only borrowed the legislative means of Li Kui and Shang Yang, and the core is still to achieve the ideal of the Confucian sage king "Trust and clarify righteousness, respect virtue and repay merit, and rule the world by bowing down".

Confucianism is derived from Taoism, and it is based on law; law is derived from Taoism, and it is formed from Confucianism.The three schools have complemented each other for 3000 years, and they have become entangled in context. Only those who have studied the Yuan classics can sort it out clearly.This is already the level of the philosopher.

It is impossible for all people in the world to be philosophers, and they are not even interested in these things at all. They only care about whether their lives are stable.Therefore, there is no need to delve into the facts at all. Only standing firm is the kingly way.

Seeing that Wu Weiye finally felt remorse, Hou Fangyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and one of his worries was resolved.
