Saint of the Confucian way

The young man continued to laugh: "The point of this matter is that you only see money in your eyes, but in our eyes of Ning'an people, money is just an ordinary tool. We don't care about money, we care about whether we can make our wife eat and wear warm, we care about whether we can let our children study well, we care about whether our parents don't have to work when they are old, we care about whether our relatives and friends can live a good life, and we care about These are our ultimate goals. We sometimes use money to measure some things, but we don't want to bully others. We just don't want to be worse than others! Therefore, it's not because of our bad morality, but because you want to attack us and deny our efforts And progress. In those days, Jingguo people also made the same mistake and accused the rich Qingguo of extravagance, waste and lust for profit. Therefore, we prefer people not to do such things. "

Zong Weixiong stared at the young man and said, "Ning'an is worthy of the land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons. Ordinary young people have such insight."

"It's not an insight. It's something we all know in Ning'an. Do you think so, folks?" the young man asked.

"Of course!" many Ning'an people responded proudly.

Zong Weixiong saw the light of self-confidence from their eyes.

Zong Weixiong was silent for a moment before he said, "Ning'an is really unusual. I'm right."

The old man smiled and said, "yes, you can teach! When you live in Ning'an for a while, you will understand that Ning'an is the best place for the whole human race!"

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, and have a holy courtyard." one person smiled.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Zong Weixiong thought for a long time, got up, paid the money, scanned the teahouse and found that the boy was still there. The young man had disappeared. Then he frowned slightly, but he couldn't remember the young man's appearance, so he no longer cared and left the teahouse.

Not long after, the boy left the teahouse. Before he got home, he saw his mother-in-law looking around the door. When he saw him, he ran over excitedly with his skirt.

The boy gave his wife a spoiled look and said, "slow down, what good thing makes you smile like this?"

"A senior official came to the county and said that Ning'an county will be promoted to the government. The county government is recruiting talents. A pavilion chief recommended you, so he gave you an offer of employment. I can't read, and he read it to me that your salary is equal to nine grades. If you can get promoted, you won't delay your imperial examination. It's a great joy!"

"Really? Let me see the county documents." Tong Sheng hurriedly took over the county government documents and read them carefully.

The neighbors nearby looked at the boy with envy and knew that this usually insignificant boy was promising.

Zong Weixiong continued to investigate Ning'an county. The more he understood the current situation, the more complicated his heart was.

In his opinion, Fang Yun can't be a generalist even though he has made achievements in many aspects. Those on the list or advocated by Jingguo can only be shown off. There must be a lot of dark scenes in the darkest place of Jingguo.

However, after days of visits, Zong Weixiong found that the decrees issued by Fang Yun may be controversial, may not have a good effect, and even have some negative effects in the short term. However, from a long-term and development perspective, all the decrees of Fang Yun are very correct.

Zong Weixiong even carefully deduced Fang Yun's reforms and decrees, and found that everything was almost perfect and transformed Jingguo in almost all aspects. Moreover, everything in Ning'an city also proved that Fang Yun's innovation was feasible.

"Is the old ceremony important or beneficial to the innovation of the Terran?"

Zong Weixiong thought for a long time and suddenly remembered Fang Yun's respect ceremony before returning to the ancients. He was stunned for a long time and sweated like rain.

"Did he expect what happened today when the ceremony was restored to the ancients?"

Zong Weixiong sighed. Unexpectedly, Fang Yun set a huge trap early.

A scholar may have no conscience, but a conscientious scholar cannot violate his conscience.

When Zong Weixiong was in the hall of rites, he took it as his duty to do justice and maintain etiquette and law. With an in-depth understanding of Fang Yun and Ning'an, he gradually felt that Fang Yun's innovation did not violate etiquette and law, but was of great benefit to the human race.

But this is not what the temple wants.

Therefore, Zong Weixiong swayed between conscience and ritual hall. Finally, he thought of Fang Yun's respect for ritual restoration. Suddenly, he found that Fang Yun pretended to respect ritual restoration and prohibited random restoration of ancient ritual. In fact, he has set up an indestructible monument.

Zong Weixiong thought that Fang Yun's disorderly restoration of ancient rites was wrong and played the piano disorderly, and agreed with Fang Yun's prohibition of disorderly restoration of ancient rites after Fang Yun. Then, his situation now actually has ingenious similarities with Fang Yun at that time.

To support the temple of rites is to disorderly restore ancient rites, and to support conscience is to face up to ancient rites.

If there is no Fang Yun's ritual restoration activities, Zong Weixiong can choose to support the ritual hall. At most, he is in debt. He can do some good deeds in the future and read more holy classics.

However, the movement of respecting rites and restoring the ancients has formed a deep brand in Zong Weixiong's cognition. If he now supports the temple to punish Fang Yun, it is tantamount to violating his conscience and what he has learned. At least, his courage will be covered with dust, and at worst, his courage will crack.

"Fang Xusheng, it's really reasonable to die, tossing people..." Zong Weixiong could only smile bitterly and had no way.

After a long time, Zong Weixiong recovered his spirit, took a deep breath and said slowly, "just, whether there is Fang Xusheng or not, as a scholar, we should stick to our conscience and not violate our original heart."

Then, Zong Weixiong wrote what he saw and heard these days into a document, truthfully wrote his ideas and sent them to the temple.

At about the same time, temple officials sent to all parts of Jingguo successively submitted inspection documents.

After the temple received all the documents, some cabinet elders were furious.

A small number of ritual officials truthfully reported their conclusions, almost all in kuafangyun.

Many other officials reported it in a very neutral position. Although they summarized the shortcomings of Fang Yun, none of them was a crime or even a fault, as if they were helping Fang Yun.

Only a few officials of the temple harbored evil intentions, picked bones and found fault in all kinds of eggs, and finally inferred that Fang Yun was an unforgivable and heinous crime. If Fang Yun was not killed, the Terran would be doomed.

The investigation results of ritual officials account for at least 30% of the cabinet's decision-making!

The hall of rites originally wanted to punish Fang Yun with great fanfare and even conduct strict investigation. Now such a result has become a joke.

Those cabinet elders were angry and did not lose their reason. They also knew that many of Fang Yun's practices were right. However, in order to protect the Confucian holy way and the dignity of the temple, they must do so and curb the temple of punishment.

Just when the ceremony hall was hesitant, the literary and Information Institute composed of miscellaneous scholars announced that since many miscellaneous disciples in the kingdom of Jing believed in Legalists and violated the Taoism of miscellaneous scholars, the literary and Information Institute would suspend all cooperation with miscellaneous scholars in the kingdom of Jing from now on.

At the same time, the Academy of culture and information technology announced that it would send miscellaneous officials to Jingguo for investigation. If it is found that miscellaneous officials have abandoned the holy way, they will use the miscellaneous holy way and cultural treasure to drive them out of the miscellaneous house!

A stone stirs thousands of waves!
