Saint of the Confucian way

Fang Yun said slowly, "how do you act in four seasons, how do all things come into being, how can the sky say?"

Fang Yun is quoting Kong Sheng's words. Everything follows the laws of heaven and earth. Why should heaven say more.

Ten cabinet elders looked at Xiang Fangyun seriously and wanted to know what Fang Yun wanted to express.

Fang Yun continued: "the throne of a king originates from the state; the power of a king originates from officials; the power of a king originates from the people. Why call yourself the son of heaven? You should call yourself the son of all peoples."

Even the elders of the ritual hall, who have great respect for etiquette and law, have no objection at the moment, because the Terran country has an invisible power called National luck, and the king of a country, who is in charge of national luck, also claims to be the Qi of the son of heaven.

However, all senior scholars know that the so-called Qi of the son of heaven is actually the power of all the people, which is similar to the power of semi holy beings.

Fang Yun said slowly, "I've heard of a country without a king, but I haven't seen a country without a people."

The faces of the ten old cabinet members became grim.

Fang Yun's words are right according to reason and can't find anything wrong. However, this statement seems to subvert the old etiquette.

They watched Fang Yun with vigilance.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yun smiled and said, "the ceremony hall acts on behalf of heaven. The son of heaven should be bound by the ceremony hall. Without being canonized by the ceremony hall, he should not be called a king!"

The ten old cabinet members had bright eyes and huge waves in their hearts, but they were highly cultivated and remained silent.

They still can't refute this!

Because the temple is really doing things in the name of heaven to restrict the norms of human behavior.

Because the temple of Rites has been fighting against Legalists and has always wanted to gain greater power and restore the peak period when rites were greater than Dharma in ancient times.

Because the temple always wanted to touch the imperial power!

Fang Yun's words came to their hearts.

Later, Fang Yun said slowly: "I think that at present, rites and music are broken, codes are often disordered, and I am very worried. I think that the rites of various countries are placed under the cabinet and bow to the imperial power, which is the biggest insult to rites!"

Half of the attic elders have the same complexion, but the other half of the attic elders' emotions are mobilized by Fang Yun. If they are not well cultivated, they almost have to pat the table to agree with Fang Yun.

"If a student is in charge of the Jingguo, he should be appointed as the Minister of rites and become a cabinet member, ranking as the top grade!" Fang Yun said slowly, looking at the nine cabinet elders.

Ten old cabinet members were shocked.

They don't care about treasures and materials at all.

I don't care about fame and wealth at all.

They only hope that the human race will restore the system of rites and music, get rid of all things that do not conform to rites and music, and let rites and music gain an incomparably respected position.

Setting up a ceremony phase is something that the old man in the ceremony hall can't dream of.

Because it will be opposed by all temples, holy families and countries.

However, the ten cabinet elders were not confused by the delicious bait thrown by Fang Yun. The ten people secretly communicated with God for a long time, and Yunluo spoke.

"What do you want when you go to the temples?"

Fang Yun said boldly: "it should be to expand the holy way of education, set up colleges and universities, cultivate more specialized talents, and help the human race get through the disaster of demons and barbarians. Talent specialization is the general trend, and students believe that your elders have seen this trend."

Many cabinet elders nodded gently. In fact, with the increasing role of workers in the battlefield and the increasing dependence of Terrans on war poetry, people with lofty ideals have seen this. However, although it is a trend, it has not become a trend. It is difficult to make achievements in this way. Therefore, no one is vigorously promoting this trend like Fang Yun.

In case of wrong judgment or execution, it will inevitably endanger itself and even the holy Tao of the human race. Don't be careless.

"What agreement do you have with the criminal court?"

Fang Yun took out the agreement jointly formulated with Legalists, driven by talent, turned into several pages and stood in the air.

The ten great Confucians just looked at it and read all the contents.

Just looking at the content, there is indeed no conflict with the ritual hall. The only thing that annoys the elders of the ritual hall is that there are words such as governing the country according to law and establishing a country with the rule of law.

However, these are the commonplace of the temple of punishment and Legalists. In the Qin Dynasty, it has been proved that over reliance on too strict legalist means will inevitably change the hearts of the people, and eventually lead to the collapse of the state of Qin.

Ten cabinet elders talked with each other in spirit. Fang Yun observed secretly and found that they had no fierce opposition. It was obvious that they could tolerate the agreement between Xingdian and Fang Yun.

"Have you ever mentioned the ceremony with the punishment hall?" Wu Jiu asked.

Fang Yun said with a smile, "why tell the punishment hall about the ceremony hall?"

"Kindness!" several cabinet elders nodded gently and finally smiled. The more they saw Fang Yun, the more pleasing they were to their eyes. They almost regarded Fang Yun as their own person.

"Do you have a specific plan?" Yunluo asked.

Fang Yun said: "first, etiquette and etiquette department should participate in the formulation of voting laws. In other words, it is clearly stipulated that the personnel of etiquette and etiquette department have the right to legislate!"

The breathing of several great Confucians suddenly became urgent. No matter how high their cultivation was, they could not restrain their inner excitement and joy.

The temple of rites dreams of participating in the formulation of laws and obtaining legislative power. Now the temple of rites and the Ministry of rites can also interfere in legislation, but they are not honest and smooth. They just use various means to obstruct. In fact, it is a political struggle, not a legitimate legislative power.

"What about the second?" Wu Jiu asked.

Fangyun Road: "It's not enough for the ritual hall to obtain the legislative power only. It should also have the right to participate in the formulation of 'laws and regulations'. For example, in some backward areas, there will be ugly customs of making marriage, the bride and bridesmaid will suffer, and teasing the bride and her father-in-law. This kind of thing can't be explicitly stipulated by the law, and the Legalists can't start, so our ritual hall should start and set regulations Fan, this kind of behavior that violates etiquette and law is explicitly prohibited! I suddenly found that changing customs and customs and letting the glory of etiquette and music shine on the world is more difficult than pure legislation and law enforcement. Legalists only need to formulate laws and enforce them, but the enemy of our temple is to change people's hearts and fight against backwardness! "

Fang Yun's "we" made all the great scholars very comfortable. Intentionally or unintentionally, he belittled the Legalists, which made them feel very reasonable.

What they like most is the sentence "let the glory of rites and music shine on the world". Isn't this the highest ideal of the temple?

"I agree!"

"I also fully support it!"

Several old gentlemen who are usually very strict are even more active than those who are more open-minded, fully support Fang Yun, and seem to be eager to bathe in the glory of rites and music.

Wu Jiu and several other enlightened elders who knew Fang Yun had a bitter smile on their faces, but it was fleeting.

Then, the old cabinet members communicated in secret.

Fang Yun didn't know what they said, but he could basically guess that the old gentlemen would try their best to persuade others to agree, and might even say that as long as the glory of rites and music shines on the world, they should bear all the responsibilities.

Fang Yun could imagine that they would think this was the only opportunity for the revival of the temple.

However, not all the elders of the cabinet will be easily persuaded. Therefore, some elders of the cabinet asked Fang Yun about the specific implementation details. Fang Yun began to answer carefully and occasionally seemed to point out the problems of Legalists.

Finally, the hall elders agreed to cooperate, but these old foxes kept an eye and asked to send a special envoy of university scholars to participate in all reforms and report to the hall at any time.

Fang Yun promised that his crisp and sincere attitude even made the old cabinet feel ashamed, as if he was a gentleman with a villain's heart.
