Saint of the Confucian way

Jingguo cabinet, Zuo Xiangge.

The new cabinet has been successfully built. It is located in the northeast of the palace and covers an area far larger than any official office.

Zuo Xiangge occupied the largest part of the cabinet, and the side hall of Zuo Xiangge became the place where Zuo Xiangge handled daily affairs.

In the side hall, more than ten Zuo Xiangge officials stood in front of the table. After the table, Fang Yun was looking at a document about the seven members of the Qingguo family.

"What do you think?" Fang Yun put down his papers and scanned the crowd.

Li Zhixiao raised his head and said, "Mr. Xiang, in my opinion, the other party has experts. This method is obviously to learn from the public opinion war you said that Jingguo launched through the people's daily. This matter must be calmed down. The blow to your name is second. Finding an excuse for the other party to stop innovation or even shake Jingguo is the real big problem."

Fang Yun is noncommittal.

Xu Changgeng echoed: "I agree with Zhixiao. Just as you said in Jingguo chaotang, even we scholars don't have real reason and morality, and most of our words and deeds are affected by emotions. The opponent's tactics this time are very clever, which has aroused the anger of many people. Under the anger, whatever you do is wrong. So we have to choose now Choose the smallest mistake to do. "

"What is the smallest mistake?" Fang Yun asked.

Xu Changgeng glanced at Li Zhixiao and hesitated.

Li Zhixiao said decisively, "admitting mistakes is the smallest mistake."

Fang Yun looked at them with a smile, glanced at other officials, and finally asked, "Dong yueqian, you seem to have something to say?"

Dong yueqian made a point.

Fang Yun said, "but it doesn't hurt to say."

Dong yueqian angrily said, "we are right. Why should we admit our mistakes?"

The rest of the officials were stunned. Some officials looked at Dong yueqian like fools, as if to say that such people can hold important positions. They really insulted the bureaucrats of Jingguo, and couldn't understand why they were put in the important position of Fang Yun.

Fang Yun nodded gently and said, "well said!"

The officials were embarrassed and looked at Fang Yun in disbelief. This is not what a qualified bureaucrat should say.

Fang Yun smiled kindly and said: "The imperial court of a country has great inertia, er... Um, habitual power, which is internally driven and difficult to stop or change suddenly. It is very good for you to recognize that admitting mistakes is better. Although you just want to find an excuse to shirk responsibility, it is better than never admitting mistakes. But many things, as Dong yueqian said, we are right. Why should we admit mistakes? Yes, In this world, we can't measure everything by right and wrong, but as long as we admit our mistakes, right and wrong will become the judgment standard. "

The officials frowned and thought.

Fang Yun continued: "We can make up for their deaths, we can sympathize with them, and we can regret them, but we did not invade Qingguo, we did not maliciously kill their people, we did not take the initiative to provoke any form of confrontation, even if we just fought back, not to mention the death of seven people, even if seven million people died, we were not wrong! What was wrong was Qingguo, and what was wrong was Qingjun! If If we admit our mistake, it shows that our innovation is wrong! I'm right, I won't admit it. "

The Hall fell silent.

Then, Fangyun Road: "In those years, we Jingguo people also had times when we could not eat because we were blocked by the enemy country. We were hungry, we were painful, and we were angry. However, we Jingguo never used the starved people as weapons to attack the enemy, because it was our incompetence and our shame. What we should do is to continue to develop the country and continue to do what we should do We will not cover up these mistakes or even crimes, but we can't let those people starve to death in vain! We will strive to develop weapons to protect the country, we will strive to grow food to feed people, and we will try our best to ensure that no one will starve to death in the future, especially those who work hard. I personally express my deep condolences over the death of seven people in Qingguo family But as the left Minister of Jingguo, I will never stop the pace of innovation! If this happens in Jingguo, the monarch and cabinet should collectively admit their mistakes, rather than be complacent because they find the opportunity to attack their opponents. "

"In addition, the Qingguo incident has also taught us a lesson and inspired us. I plan to set up several new departments in the Ministry of household, including the food emergency department, the disaster emergency department and the war emergency department, mainly to prevent and deal with emergencies. Among them, the food emergency department will set up a new subordinate office, which can accept donations, but all money will be taken from and used by the people, The whereabouts of all the money and grain will be announced to the public and supervised by anyone. Any official who misappropriates or embezzles the food and money of the emergency department will be divided by the heavy punishment without capping it. Our Fang family will start by donating 1 million liang of silver. "

"Yes!"

A group of officials took a look at Fang Yun and withdrew from the side hall with deep admiration.

In the distance, Li Zhixiao patted Dong yueqian on the shoulder and said, "yueqian, I admit my mistake to you. We used to think honest people were too stupid to bully, but now we find that many times, we are too smart and calculated, but we ignore the real interests and righteousness. You are very stupid, but you are not affected by any other factors and see the essence at a glance."

Xu Changgeng said, "yes, Lao Dong is much better than us this time."

Other officials nodded gently. Dong yueqian laughed and didn't speak.

Xu Changgeng said, "Zhixiao, let's discuss and send an article on the list. It's not a fight back or a statement. It's just to express our attitude of Zuo Xiangge."

"Good!"

That night, Xu Changgeng published an article on the discussion list. In addition to the name automatically marked on the discussion list at the end of the article, he also added his official position of Zuo Xiangge.

At the beginning of the article, it just explained the context of normal things. Later, Xu Changgeng quoted Fang Yun's words in the whole article.

Finally, Xu Changgeng expressed his views.

"If a family commits suicide because they can't eat, it should not be a reason to stop innovation at any time and anywhere, but a reason to continue innovation. If such a thing happens in any country, it is a disgrace to the whole national management organization, not someone's political achievements. A normal country should investigate whether the officials in the place where the dead are located have embezzled money and perverted the law, We should review why the local managers failed to let them live. As an official of Jingguo, I have said the above. As an ordinary scholar, I would like to say that Qingguo took the death of seven people in Qingguo family as an excuse to attack and insult our leftist Prime Minister of Jingguo, while our leftist prime Minister of Jingguo took this as an excuse for innovation and set up a new emergency department to ensure our safety This will not happen in Jingguo. Perhaps this is the difference between being a man and being an official. To say an ugly word, looking back on the way the two countries handled this matter, I have an illusion that we Jingguo people died. "

Once this article was published, it was like Mount Tai entering the sea, setting off a huge wave.

A large number of Qingguo people became angry and madly attacked Zuo Xiangge officials and Fang Yun.

However, this also sounded the clarion call against Qingguo. Scholars in various countries criticized Qingguo on the basis of Fang Yun and the content of this article.

Later, tens of thousands of people replied to the same sentence neatly.

"Fang Yun set up the emergency department because of this. What did your monarchs and officials do?"

When the number of replies exceeded 100000, fewer and fewer Qingguo people attacked Fangyun and Jingguo.

Finally, Zhang poyue replied to this sentence.

"Of course, I'm busy attacking Fang Yun on the list."
