The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Ou Mo finally said the reason why many officials changed their faces.

Ao Huang wanted to pounce on Ou Mo and bite him to death, but he could only hold back.

The blue comment refers to the hand order of the four ministers, and the red comment refers to the order of the monarch.

The human race attaches great importance to etiquette.

If Fang Yun, as a virtual saint, forcibly fights for Jingguo and gives Xiangzhou to Jingguo, it will be against etiquette. Not to mention that he will be punished by the etiquette hall, he will even be deprived of the position of virtual saint!

Etiquette cannot be abolished. If a virtual saint acts so arbitrarily, the ten countries would have been in chaos long ago.

If Fang Yun fights Qingguo with a free body, even if he wins, Xiangzhou will still belong to Qingguo, and Jingguo has no right to take over.

If Fang Yun fights Qingguo with a Jingguo official, then Fang Yun loses his absolute autonomy.

The Holy Son of Heaven is in power and the world is in order.

This sentence comes from the Book of History. The whole sentence is "Be faithful and righteous, respect virtue and reward merit, and the world will be governed by the emperor." It originally means that if the monarch can attach importance to sincerity and morality, respect morality, and distinguish rewards and punishments, even if he does nothing, the world can be stable.

However, this sentence was singled out by scholars as "the world will be governed by the emperor by the emperor", and they forcibly explained that the monarch should not do anything, and only need officials to take charge, and the world can be stable and clear.

Under the guidance of this idea, the imperial power has been continuously weakened. Until now, the cabinets of various countries have the tendency to compete with the monarch.

The ten countries of the human race have already had an extremely strict official system. Anyone who attempts to subvert this political system, even if he is a monarch or a false saint, will be backfired.

Jingguo has hundreds of officials and a cabinet that commands hundreds of officials, and the head of the cabinet is Liu Shan, the left prime minister.

If the cabinet opposes, the monarch cannot even issue an imperial edict.

Fang Yun couldn't help but think of a dynasty in ancient China. The founding emperor attempted to suppress all officials by himself and change the world, but after all, the manpower was limited. After his death, his power could not continue. He was attacked by the officials and was overthrown in just a few years.

Now, the prestige and power of the ten monarchs are not as good as that of the founding emperor.

Fang Yun knew in his heart that even such a person had no successor. In this world where scholars controlled the world, it was even more difficult for the monarch to fight against the interest groups formed by scholars.

Even a virtual saint with a newly established foundation could never resist the huge inertia of the existing official system.

Fang Yun looked at Liu Shan.

Forcibly stopping Wen Zhan Xiangzhou would inevitably be abandoned by the people, but how could the left prime minister Liu Shan care about the people's hearts? As long as he stopped Wen Zhan Qingguo and kept a low profile, he could win the hearts of the people again with the ability of the miscellaneous family to fool the people.

After Ou Mo finished speaking, he stood upright in the Fengtian Hall and stared at Fang Yun.

"Oh? Is there anyone trying to stop me from recovering the lost territory for Jingguo?" Fang Yun asked calmly.

Ou Mo bowed and said, "Duke Zhenguo, I want to ask, how sure are you?"

"Don't talk about success or failure until the end." Fang Yun did not fall into Ou Mo's language trap. If he said it low, Ou Mo would naturally be more confident. If he said it high, it would be out of touch with the facts and no one would be convinced.

"If you don't have success or failure in your mind, how dare you start a war?"

Fang Yun said slowly, "When I draw bamboo, I must first have a bamboo in my mind."

"Are you saying you are 100% sure?" Ou Mo asked.

"I have full confidence!" Fang Yun said.

Ou Mo smiled and said, "You all have seen that the Duke of Zhenguo is not very sure. The only gain from the war with Qingguo is Xiangzhou, which was hollowed out by Qingguo, but the consequences are even more serious. Lord Zhenguo, can you allow me to explain one by one?"

"This is a court meeting. Even if I pass on the king's voice, I have no right to stop you." Fang Yun remained calm, but his expression had changed slightly.

"The saint is enlightened, I admire him. Then I will tell you everything I know. At this moment, if the civil war wins, there will be five harms!"

Ou Mo finished speaking, looked around the Fengtian Palace, and continued: "The first harm is to cut off the aid of my Jing country! As everyone knows, this winter, the monsters will invade the south with all their strength. No matter how strong my Jing country is, it can't stand alone. Without the help of other countries and the Saint Academy, it will not be able to fight. If there is no accident, Qing can at least send out a 100,000-strong army and a great scholar, and the supplies and food are countless. If the civil war wins, Qing will definitely withdraw all the aid!"

"The second harm is Qing's counterattack! Once Qing quickly retaliates and fights Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou will definitely lose! Xiangzhou's supplies must have been transferred by Qing, and it is an empty state. It can be restored after many years, but it is useless in the short term. If the rich Jiangzhou suddenly becomes Qing's property, Then next year, my Jing country will not be able to prepare enough food and grass for the war. "

"The third harm is the dispersion of manpower! Xiangzhou has been ruled by Qing for many years, and the people of Xiangzhou have regarded themselves as inferior Qing people, hoping to become higher-level Qing people one day. Once they are recovered, what will happen if their country becomes weaker? There will inevitably be a great resistance, and we must allocate a large number of extra soldiers and civil servants. At the time of the Caoman invasion to the south, accepting Xiangzhou is simply a self-destruction! "

"The fourth harm is the discord among the human race! There is a definite news from the demon world that many great saints have returned to the demon world. The biggest crisis for us humans is no longer the gains and losses of a county, a prefecture, or even a country, but to stand on the whole human race and look at the world! On the eve of the second battle between the two worlds in the demon world, the two countries' civil war, isn't it a way to cut off the human race and the saints? "

"The fifth harm is that Fang Xusheng's literary reputation has been damaged! Why didn't Fang Xusheng start civil war earlier and later? Why did he propose civil war today? Naturally, it's because the Zong family and Fang Xusheng are competing for the Holy Way of Enlightenment. The battle for the Holy Way , it should be between scholars In the competition, Fang Xusheng hijacked a country. On the surface, he wanted to seize Xiangzhou, but secretly he wanted to avenge the clan for seizing the Holy Way. Is this really what Fang Xusheng did? Literary war will inevitably damage the literary reputation.”

The officials were speechless. In fact, although the first four harms were reasonable, they were not important. The fifth harm was Ou Mo's real purpose.

As long as Fang Yun's civil war is made morally untenable, then Fang Yun will lose the possibility of civil war.

Many people looked at the left prime minister again. It was obvious that if Ou Mo was given enough time, he could also come up with these five evils. But in less than half an hour, Ou Mo could come up with such an organized five evils. Only The leftist can do it.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "Young Minister Ou has forgotten that the one who sealed our Fang Family Library has nothing to do with the clan, but the King of Qing. The King of Qing and I have no dispute over the holy way, and the sealing of the library is in line with Qing's rule." National law. When the library is verified to be legal, it will naturally be allowed to open. How can I start a civil war without even waiting for a day? "

Ou Mo was stunned and said: "Although you and the Zong family are not competing for the name of the Holy Way of Enlightenment, they are actually competing for it."

Fang Yun suddenly became solemn and said sternly: "Ou Mo, as a dignified Hanlin scholar, before the Zongsheng said anything, you slandered the Zongsheng and competed with a mere Jinshi for the holy way, and also sowed a relationship between me and the Zongsheng. What crime should you have!"
