Saint of the Confucian way

Jing Jun's face looked nervous, like a student who met a surprise exam. He thought for a moment, coughed and said slowly: "Kong Sheng believes that if the people are guided by administrative means and rectified by criminal law, then the people are only temporarily free from sin and have no sense of shame. It is not that they don't want to commit a crime. But if the people are guided by morality and rectified by etiquette, then the people will not only have a sense of shame, but also take the initiative not to commit a crime, but also submit to the people in power because of morality and ethics."

"Good." Fang Yun nodded gently.

Jingjun couldn't help smiling and raised his chin a little, proud that he could get Fang Yun's appreciation.

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly when she saw the scene with residual light.

Some officials noticed Jing Jun's reaction and sighed in their hearts that even if he was the king of a country, he still had to lower his head in front of Fang Yun. Even if the little monarch knew that Fang Yun was going to exercise power, he could not hide his admiration and envy. Once he was praised by Fang Yun, he couldn't help being proud.

The officials were helpless. Not only the monarch, but also they would be elated even if they were praised by Fang Yun once.

After all, Fang Yun is the first person under the saints.

Wuhou's car turned slightly and let Fang Yun face Jingjun and his ministers sideways.

Fang Yun said, "Kong Sheng has words. You also know this truth. I'm sure your colleagues won't object to Kong Sheng's words?"

Some officials turned their eyes. Fang Yun's words were so straightforward that they were like fishing with a straight hook. No matter how stupid the officials were, they would not object to Confucius's words.

The Jinluan hall was silent.

Fang Yun sighed and said: "Ben Xiang has been an official in the kingdom of Jing for many years. He started in the prefecture and county, and once served as governor of the two prefectures. He is well aware of the hardships of the people. Over the years, Ben Xiang has been thinking, the laws of the kingdom of Jing are constantly improving, the national strength is booming, and there are more and more scholars. Why are people still committing crimes? Why are people still bullying their compatriots? Why are people still poor and suffering? Why are people still intimidating Blessing? Why? Why! "

The officials listened attentively. No matter what their position, they all wanted to hear Fang Yun's views on governing the country.

Fang Yun continued: "for this reason, the prime minister has been looking for various reasons. Is it the lax law, the unpredictable mind, the incompetence of officials, or the fate? In order to solve this problem, the Prime Minister even listed each reason one by one on the paper, so that 'thousands of problems are established and broken one by one'."

Everyone was moved when they heard about it.

Some people are secretly happy and grateful at the same time. This is the way of learning by a great Confucian Xusheng. They first set thousands of questions, think hard and break them one by one. It seems ordinary, but it is also the most effective means. If they really encounter difficulties, they can learn this method.

"Even so, Benxiang is helpless. Benxiang has been studied all over the ages, but why can't even solve a very common problem? Therefore, Benxiang traced back to the source and looked for a solution from the holy classics. Finally, Benxiang reread the Analects of Confucius In fact, Kong Sheng has given the answer. He does not need administrative means or punishment. He only needs morality and ethics to solve all problems! I have taken a detour before! "

Fang Yun looked distressed.

However, all officials were stunned.

What I said earlier is very reasonable. It can even be regarded as both sound and emotion, but why did I finally come to an extremely absurd conclusion?

What is criminal law and administration useless? If so, what should Legalists do? What should officials do? The human race has long been in a mess.

What does Fang Yun mean?

The officials were a little confused.

Legalist officials showed a wary look. Even those old gentlemen in the Ministry of rites could not agree with Fang Yun's statement of exclusive respect for rites.

Fang Yun said in a heavy voice, "let me ask you, do the people of Jingguo complain about US officials?"

No one answered. Cao De'an said, "back to Zuo Xiang, people's resentment has never stopped since ancient times. Even the people who lack nothing in Kong City have some resentment against Kong City officials."

Fangyun Road: "That's right. Then, why do the people have resentment? I can't understand it. However, Kong Sheng gave the answer early. Confucius said: do what is beneficial. How much resentment! My colleagues, how correct Kong Sheng said. If one works only for interests, others will have resentment! Officials work only for interests, don't care about the people, don't talk about benevolence, righteousness and ethics, and the people don't know what to do Well, how can there be no resentment? As Kong Sheng said, "the people are unprepared". Sir, please repeat this sentence completely. "

Jing Jun coughed softly and said in a crisp voice, "if the name is not right, the words are not right; if the words are not right, the things will not succeed; if the things do not succeed, the rites and music will not prosper; if the rites and music do not prosper, the punishment will not be medium; if the punishment is not medium, the people will be unprepared."

Fang Yun nodded and said to the ministers, "Kong Sheng has made it clear that what is used to judge the success or failure of the means of governing the country? We should use rites and music as the standard! Rites and music are not popular, and even if the law is perfect, it can't govern the people."

Li Dian University scholar Lin Shouyan nodded gently.

Sheng Boyuan, a minister of the Ministry of officials, opened his mouth and finally closed his mouth.

He is a scholar of the Ministry of rites and a disciple of Confucianism. He himself deeply studies the holy way of rites. If Fang Yun opposes it when he wants to vigorously promote rites, it will not only affect his holy way, but also offend the temple, which he absolutely doesn't want to see.

What's more, Fang Yun started with the words of Confucius. Although the explanation is different from the notes of some great Confucianism, Fang Yun is a great Confucianism in four areas and is qualified and able to explain the Analects of Confucius. Sheng Boyuan is just a great scholar, and he doesn't dare to explain the holy classics indiscriminately. If he opposes Fang Yun, and Fang Yun deliberately puts pressure on him, it will be a shock to his courage, or a disaster to the literary palace.

Some officials found Sheng Boyuan's embarrassment and finally realized an important problem. Fang Yun seemed to have a fair fight with the royal officials, but in fact Fang Yun took the holy classics and literary position as weapons, and none of the officials opposed to Fang Yun had a great Confucian or could interpret the classics.

This means that what Fang Yun says is what they have no qualification and ability to refute!

Some officials thought of this and looked blue and blue.

Fang Yun's behavior is more excessive than adults bullying babies.

Babies who are bullied by adults can at least cry, but these officials dare not even speak out.

Who dares to say that Fang Yun is young? Who dares to say that Fang Yun is not experienced in political struggle?

The officials are deeply aware that this is bound to be an unfair battle.

Cao De'an shook his head gently. Where is the dispute between the two dynasties? It's just a fair rolling.

Fang Yun then said, "we all know that the highest state of Confucianism is benevolence. You won't object to this?"

Some officials almost turned a blind eye. Fang Yun simply deceived people too much. Of course, benevolence is the highest realm of Confucianism, and there can be no opposition at all. Fang Yun's words are strengthening his correctness and constantly attacking those who want to oppose him.

"Kong Sheng has words, self-restraint and return to rites as benevolence! As a scholar, since I shoulder the post of prime minister, I should inherit Kong Sheng's will and let the world return to benevolence! The first step to return to benevolence is to vigorously promote ethics and eliminate accumulated disadvantages!"

Fang Yun's words resounded.
