The students of Guozijian still sat quietly in the huge Jixian Hall, reminiscing about the deafening conclusion of Mr. Pei, one of the pinnacles of the contemporary Confucian literary scene of Jinyang Academy.

A student couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and suddenly stood up: "The way of the monarch should be round, that is, the cause of nothingness, and the way of the courtier, to be square, that is, to keep his duties clear." Through the establishment of a political order in which each has its own place, it is possible to achieve the wisdom of all people, and with the strength of all people, all are invincible. ”

The students on the side were busy writing records, and in advance they recommended the students who had memorized well to memorize the old man's words separately, and then the other students copied them for the students of the country to read.

"The lord of the country has the people, the city of Judah has a foundation, the wood has roots, the roots are deep, and the foundation is beautiful.

The eater is the foundation of the people, the people, the foundation of the country, the country, the foundation of the king. ”

"Courtiers, they must adhere to justice, do not casually elevate their status, and must be beneficial to the country and helpful to the monarch, so that the identity of courtiers can be respected, and their descendants can be protected and cultivated, so the six righteousness and six evils are the benchmark for measuring courtiers.

When things are like plants that have not yet sprouted, and have not even seen the signs of reveal, they can clearly see the signs of survival and death alone, see the key to success and failure, and let the bad mechanism put the monarch in a position of great glory before it is formed, and the whole world praises him as a loyal minister, and such a courtier is a holy minister. ”

One by one, the students stood up and recited the passage they remembered, and the auditors carefully experienced and read that they were the reserves of the imperial court, and they needed the direction of the future, and they had to choose the way of the courtiers for themselves.

They've never had a moment of enlightenment to them like they do today.

"Be humble and sincere, offer good deeds, encourage the monarch with etiquette, exhort the monarch with the best strategy, follow the virtues of the monarch, correct and remedy the monarch's evil deeds, and the matter will be done, and if there is an achievement, it will be attributed to the monarch, and dare not boast of merit alone, this is a virtuous minister."

"To be willing to be in a low position, to work personally, to get up early and go to bed late, to constantly recommend virtuous men, and to enumerate virtuous things to encourage the king's aspirations and to make the country stable, this is a loyal servant."

"It is a wise minister to observe the most subtle things, to see success or failure early, to prevent and remedy it, to think about it repeatedly, to plug its loopholes, to cut off its roots, to turn disasters into blessings, and to make the monarch worry-free."

The voice became higher and higher, as if he had stood where he wanted to be.

"Obey the system of etiquette, obey the letter of the law, hold public office, be in charge of official affairs, resign from Lilu, give courtesy, and do not accept gifts, wear neat dresses, and eat and drink modestly, this is a chastity."

The students who memorized this paragraph had a faint smile on the corners of their mouths, and their eyebrows and eyes were unconsciously smiling.

The classmates beside him all laughed, because the old gentleman said when he talked about this paragraph, Zhenchen is a constraint on himself, and it is a matter of course for a man to support his family, and he can be thrifty and hard, but he can't let his family be more frugal and bitter than himself.

How we balance it depends on how we do it. A small family can't be taken care of, where can the overall situation take care of the world.

"When the country is in chaos and the monarch behaves unrighteously, he dares to point out the monarch's mistakes in front of the monarch, and is not afraid of being tortured and killed because of this, sacrificing himself, as long as he can make the country stable, he will also risk death and give direct advice, and will never regret it, this is a direct minister."
