Chapter 742: Vertical Arch and Rule
Ou Lao finally said the reason why many officials changed their faces.
Ao Huang wanted to pounce on Ou Lone, but he could only hold back.
The blue batch refers to the warrant of the four phases, while the Zhu batch refers to the order of the monarch.
The most important ritual of the human race.
If Fang Yun forcibly acts as a virtual saint and gives Xiangzhou to Jingguo, it will be a violation of etiquette, not to mention that he will be punished by the ceremonial hall, and he will even be deprived of the position of the virtual saint!
Rites cannot be abolished, if the dignified and empty saints acted so arbitrarily, the ten kingdoms would have been in chaos long ago.
If Fang Yun fights Qingguo with a free body, even if he wins, Xiangzhou will still be Qingguo's, and Jingguo has no right to take over.
If Fang Yun fights Qingguo as an official of Jingguo, then Fang Yun will lose his absolute autonomy.
The Holy Son of Heaven hangs down and rules the world.
This sentence is derived from the "Book of Shang", a whole sentence is "believe in the clear righteousness, respect virtue and repay merit, vertical arch and rule the world", originally said that if the monarch can attach importance to sincerity and morality, advocate morality, and distinguish rewards and punishments, even if he does nothing, the world can be stable.
However, this sentence was put forward by the scholar alone, "the arch is lowered and the world is governed", forcibly explaining that the monarch should not have to do anything, and only need hundreds of officials to be in charge, and the world can be stable and clear.
Under the guidance of this ideology, the imperial power has been weakened, and until now, the cabinets of various countries have a tendency to compete with the monarch.
The ten kingdoms of the human race already have an extremely strict official system, and anyone who vainly tries to subvert this political system, even if it is a monarch, even if it is a false saint, will be counterattacked.
Jingguo has 100 officials, and there is a cabinet that commands 100 officials, and the head of the cabinet is Zuo Xiang Liushan.
If the cabinet objected, the monarch could not even issue a decree.
Fang Yun couldn't help but think of a dynasty in the ancient kingdom of China, where the founding Taizu tried to suppress all the officials with his own strength and change the day. But after all, the manpower is limited, and the power cannot be continued after death, and it is countered by hundreds of officials. It was upended in just a few years.
Now that the monarchs of the ten countries are combined, their prestige and strength are not as good as that of the founding ancestor.
Fang Yun understood in his heart. Even those characters have no successors, and in this world where scholars control a realm, it is even more difficult for the monarch to confront the interest groups formed by scholars.
Even a void saint with a newly established foundation will definitely not be able to resist the huge inertia of the existing system of hundred officials.
Fang Yun looked at Liu Shan.
Forcibly stopping Wenzhan Xiangzhou will inevitably be betrayed by the people, but how can Zuo Xiang Liushan care about the people's will, as long as he stops Wenzhan Qingguo. With a little bit of obscurity, you can buy the hearts of the people again with the foolish ability of the miscellaneous family.
After Ou Lao finished speaking, he stood straight in the Fengtian Temple, staring at Fang Yun.
"Oh, can someone stop me from recovering the lost territory for Jingguo?" Fang Yun asked indifferently.
Ou Lao arched his hand and said, "Zhenguo Gong, the lower officials want to ask, how sure are you?"
"Before the end, don't talk about success or failure. Fang Yun didn't jump into Ou Lao's language trap, if he said it low, Ou Lao would naturally be more confident. If it is high, it is divorced from the facts and no one is convinced.
"You don't have success or failure in mind. How dare you start a war lightly?"
Fang Yun said slowly: "When I draw bamboo, I must first make bamboo in my chest." ”
"You're saying you're 100% sure?" asked Ou Lone.
"I have full confidence!" Fang Yun said.
Ou Lao smiled: "You have seen it, Zhen Guogong is not very sure. The harvest of Wenzhan Qingguo is just Xiangzhou that was hollowed out by Qingguo, but the consequences are even stricter. Lord Zhenguo, can you allow the officials to explain one by one?"
"This is the court meeting, even if I spread the voice of the monarch kingdom, I have no right to stop you. Fang Yun remained calm. But there has been a slight change in his expression.
"The void saint is open-minded, and I admire it below. That's all there to say. There is no end to the words. At this moment, the civil war celebrates the victory of the country. There are five evils!"
After Ou Lao finished speaking, he looked around at the Fengtian Temple and continued: "This first evil is to cut off the aid of my Jingguo! As we all know, this winter, the demon barbarians will definitely invade the south with all their might, no matter how strong our Jingguo is, it will be difficult to support it alone, and without the assistance of the rest of the countries and the Holy Court, there will be no strength to fight. If there is no accident, Qingguo can send at least a 100,000-strong army and a great Confucian, as for the materials, grain and grass, there are countless quantities, if the civil war is won, Qingguo will definitely withdraw a qiē aid!"
"The second evil is that Qingguo counterattacks! Once Qingguo quickly retaliates and fights Jiangzhou, then Jiangzhou will definitely be defeated! Xiangzhou's materials will inevitably be transferred by Qingguo, and it is an empty state, which can be restored to vitality after many years, but it will be useless in the short term. If the rich Jiangzhou suddenly becomes the thing of Qingguo, then next year our Jingguo will not even be able to have all the grain and grass during the war. ”
"The third evil is to disperse manpower! Xiangzhou has been ruled by Qingguo for many years, and the people of Xiangzhou have regarded themselves as low-class Qingguo people, and they are looking forward to becoming even higher-class Qingguo people one day. Once they are recovered, what will happen to their country, which will turn from strong to weak? There will inevitably be a great deal of resistance, and we will have to send a large number of additional sergeants and civilians. At the time of the barbarian invasion of the south, receiving Xiangzhou is simply a self-defeating arm!"
"The fourth evil is that the human race is not harmonious! There is a definite news from the demon world, and many great saints have returned to the demon world. The biggest crisis for us and the other human race is no longer the gain or loss of one county, one government, or even one country, but the need to base ourselves on the entire human race and look at the heavens and the earth! On the eve of the Demon Realm about to start the second Great War of the Two Realms Mountain, wouldn't the civil war between the two countries isolate themselves from the human race and from the saints?"
"The fifth evil, Fang Xusheng's literary name has been damaged! Why did Fang Xusheng not fight a literary war sooner or later, but he proposed a literary war today? Naturally, it was because the clan and Fang Xusheng were competing for the Holy Dao of Enlightenment. The battle for the Holy Dao was supposed to be a competition between scholars, but Fang Yunfang was holding a country hostage, ostensibly to seize the Xiangzhou, but secretly to avenge the hatred of the sect family for seizing the Holy Dao. If Fang Xusheng insisted on literary warfare, the name of the document would inevitably be damaged. ”
The hundred officials were speechless, in fact, although the first four evils are reasonable, they are not important, and the fifth evil is the real purpose of Ou Lone.
As long as Fang Yun's cultural war is morally untenable, then Fang Yun will lose the possibility of cultural war.
Many people looked at Zuo Xiang again, and it was obvious that if Ou Lao was given enough time, Ou Lao could also come up with these five evils, but in less than half an hour, he could draw up such an orderly five evils, and only Zuo Xiang could do it.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Ou Shilang forgot, the one who sealed our Fang Clan's library has nothing to do with the Zong family, but the monarch of the Qing Kingdom." There is no dispute between the monarch of Qingguo and me, and the sealing of the library is in line with the national law of Qingguo. When it is verified that the library is legitimate, it will naturally be allowed to open, so how can I not wait even a day to fight?"
Ou Lone was stunned for a moment, and said: "Although you and the Zong family are not competing for the name of the Holy Dao of Enlightenment, they are actually fighting. ”
Fang Yun suddenly solemnized, and said sharply: "Ou Lone, as a dignified Hanlin, before the sect saint opened his mouth, slandered the sect saint and the mere jinshi to fight for the holy way, and provoked the relationship between me and the sect saint, what crime should you be guilty of!".
