"Very good! The right secretary of the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the wings, and as a scholar of Jingguan, he preaches the relinquishment of the country, disturbs Jingguo, and interferes with the decision-making of the cabinet, and deserves to be punished. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Guan Yi, are you convinced?"

The lobby of the state government was so quiet that you could hear the sound of mosquitoes flying.

"The lower officials are not convinced!" Guan Yi held his head high, and his face did not change.

"Why?" Fang Yun's eyes were indifferent, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

"After my human race is Confucius, the kings of the past generations have spoken widely, and this official is a jinshi, how can he be convicted for his words?"

Fang Yun said: "What is a crime for words? What is this 'speech'? The law stipulates that a person who scolds people will be punished for words?"

"To insult or hurt another person is to make a mistake, not to be guilty of words. ”

"Then in your opinion, as long as you prove that what a person said hurt others, it can be determined to be at fault?" Fang Yun asked.

"That's not necessarily, it could be that the person who spoke was just talking about things, but someone sat down and thought he had hurt himself, how could this be regarded as a fault?" Guan Yi said.

Fang Yun nodded and said, "I see, as long as it is proved that the person who spoke has obvious bias and is not based on facts, it can be determined as fault?"

Guan Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "As long as that person does not personally admit that a certain sentence was intentional, it should not be determined as a fault." ”

"According to your meaning, as long as the criminal does not admit his guilt, even if the evidence is ironclad, he should not be sentenced?" Fang Yun asked.

"If it is a crime, then the law of the country is used to punish it, if it is not a crime, it is only a matter of words, as long as the person who speaks is reasonable, even if there is a mistake, it should be properly dealt with, and it cannot be punished heavily. For example, Governor Yan, although you slandered and attacked me, you just let him sit at home and didn't let him speak, which is not a heavy punishment. ”

Fang Yun smiled and said: "The reason why I punished Governor Yan to shut up for ten days is because his fault is scolding, if he starts to beat someone, I will tie his hands, different mistakes naturally have to be dealt with in different ways." According to you, as long as it does not hurt the person who speaks like a punishment, the officer can do it, right?"

Guan Yi frowned slightly, he knew that Fang Yun wanted to trouble him, but he had already decided that Yan Zhifu was at fault, if he suddenly changed his words, it would be a trick on Shangguan, Fang Yun had an excuse to make a move, if he didn't change his words, it would be equivalent to giving Fang Yun the right to punish him.

Guan Yi's heart is like a mirror, and the content he has published in "Xiangzhou Di Bao" over the years does have obvious tendencies.

The rest of the officials present also vaguely understood that if Guan Yi was not a Jinshi, Fang Yun could directly convict him, but Guan Yi was a Jinshi, as long as he did not commit a serious crime, let alone the governor, even the monarch could not do anything about him, and he would leave without a good name.

Dong Wencong looked deeper, since Fang Yun didn't want to bear the infamy of future generations, he naturally wouldn't punish Guan Yi for the supplement of "Xiangzhou Di Daily", and he should deal with Guan Yi in other ways. And a few days ago, Fang Yun went to the prison alone to meet a few officials who were arrested for checking Hualou, which may have something to do with this incident.

Subsequently, Dong Wencong shook his head slightly, Guan Yi and other Qingguan are deeply rooted in Xiangzhou, even if they have any handles, only their henchmen know, among the people who are arrested, there is absolutely no Guan Yi's henchmen, even if Fang Yun catches the handle, it is insignificant, and it is impossible to completely bring down Guan Yi.

Guan Yi didn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, Fang Yun said slowly: "Guan Yi, do you know the ins and outs of the whole poem of 'let him be three feet'?"

The officials present perked up, and only then did they understand that Fang Yun was aiming at this sentence, because not long ago, Guan Yi had borrowed this sentence "What does it matter if he is three feet" to suggest that Jingguo should cede the disputed land border to Qingguo to avoid causing disputes.

The poem that Fang Yun had written came to the minds of many officials.

Qianli's family book is only for the wall, so why not let him be three feet. The Great Wall is still there, and Qin Shi Huang is not seen.

Guan Yi left and said: "Xiaguan heard that it was your friend in Jixian County who had a conflict over the land occupation of the house, so you wrote this poem to persuade you." ”

"No, you're wrong. Fang Yundao.

"Then maybe the lower officials may have misheard. "Pipe Wing Road.

Fang Yun sat on the main seat, leaning back on the back of the chair, his eyes were majestic, and said, "No, you heard the story right, what you are wrong is that you thought I wrote this poem to persuade you." ”

Guan Yi smiled slightly, and said, "Fang Xusheng didn't write this poem to persuade him, did he want to fan the flames?"

"When I write this poem, I'm exchanging. I gave this poem to Fang Daniu's parents, exchanged the two elders for three feet, exchanged the Fang family for harmony with the neighbor Lu family, and exchanged my housekeeper Fang Daniu and my friend Lu Zhan from being ridiculed. Can you understand?" Fang Yun looked at Guan Yi calmly.

All the officials present were moved, Fang Yun's words were not profound, but the hidden things behind these words made people have to think deeply and admire Fang Yun even more.

Some Qingguan looked at Fang Yun and suddenly felt a little regret in their hearts, regretting why they were enemies of such a respectable scholar.

A fine cold sweat broke out on Guan Yi's forehead, as a jinshi, he couldn't understand Fang Yun's words, but he couldn't answer at all at this time.

Fang Yun said slowly: "Since you don't answer, then I'll tell you." Whoever has a dispute with his neighbor and takes the initiative to give in is called a virtuous man. As an outsider, persuading both parties without letting both sides have losses is called a good person. However, as an outsider, those who ask one party to give in at the cost of losing their interests are called sluts in our Ji County. To put it mildly, if I just say something casually, the two families will do their best to reconcile, and I can still win the reputation of making the neighbors harmonious, but I didn't do it. ”

Guan Yi lowered his head slightly, thinking quickly in his head, looking for a counterattack strategy.

Fang Yun continued: "I wrote this poem and handed it to Fang Da Niu's parents, and at that time I didn't try to persuade Fang Da Niu to back down, but only said at the end, let it go, let it be okay, and if you can't let it, don't retreat an inch! If I want Fang Da Niu's parents to give in, what should I do if the two families have a grudge in their hearts? What about the three feet that the two families think they have lost? I think it's okay to have a three-foot distance, but Fang Da Niu's parents may think that the three sizes are not allowed because of face, because of grudges, and because they want a bigger place! Therefore, instead of persuading Fang Daniu's parents to swallow their anger like a slut, I used this poem in exchange for his parents' relief and took the initiative to reconcile with their neighbors. ”

After hearing Fang Yun say his intentions, almost all the officials present were convinced, even if it was a Qingguan who opposed Jingguo, they couldn't oppose Fang Yun for this matter at this moment.

Fang Yun stared at Guan Yi and said slowly: "If I, Jingguo, have no power to resist in the face of Qingguo, or in order to fight for greater interests, some land on the border of Xiangzhou will be conceded." Back then, Jingguo failed in the Cultural War, and Xiangzhou was annexed by Qingguo, not that Jingguo took the initiative not to want Xiangzhou, so the people can understand. But today, it is clear that the national strength of Jingguo is rising, and it will not do any good to take back Xiangzhou and give the border of Xiangzhou to Qingguo, as an official of Jingguo, you dare to brazenly persuade hundreds of millions of people of Jingguo to give up the land that should not be given an inch with my dignified Jingguo, who gave you the courage! Who gave you the power!" )
