Chapter 210 The words of the sage are wrong
After Krisna neatly dealt with the strong man, Shi Shiran returned to his seat, while Yang Qian looked calm and calm, showing no signs of surprise.
Everyone present was surprised. Looking at Yang Gan's expression, they knew that the barbarian woman would definitely be able to defeat him and defeat him.
"Kacha~~~!"
Mr. Xinyi's face looked horribly ugly, the muscles on his cheeks were bulging, and his chopsticks were broken by two fingers.
Just when he couldn't hold back his anger, bursts of music sounded and the servants began to play music.
A beautiful, tall and slender woman walked in from the door, with her hair hanging in a swallowtail-shaped bun.
She was wearing a robe on her head and a plain white long gown, which shone brightly in the sunlight. Her steps were light and she walked towards the crowd as if she were a fairy. Her posture was so elegant and noble that she seemed as beautiful as if she had descended from heaven. goddess.
I only heard a cold voice saying, "Everyone, please be polite."
Everyone returned the greeting and said, "Mu, everyone is polite."
At this time, Yang Gan's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. He never dreamed that he would meet Mu Qing in this place.
"Everyone, please take a seat."
After everyone sat down, Yang Qian took the wine glass and drank several glasses of wine to calm down his shock.
When she saw Yang Qian, she visibly shuffled her steps, paused, and then immediately came to the main seat and sat down.
Mu Qing's face looked as usual. If you were careful, you would notice that her catkins were much whiter than usual, and you could still faintly see the blue veins on them.
After Mu Qing glanced around, when he looked at a young man sitting in the middle, he couldn't help but say.
"Mr. Jing Tong also came here to express his gratitude. I have just read his masterpiece. He mentioned the theory of governing the country by combining law, technique and momentum. It is very innovative and fits the topic of how we govern the country today."
Jing Tong cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Everyone Mu is overly complimentary."
At this time, Li Liu interrupted and said, "With Mr. Han's knowledge, he should be able to be put into great use in his home country. Why is Mr. Han so depressed in your country?"
In addition to being to the point, what he said also had a hint of provocation.
Han Jingtong looked stunned. He obviously didn't expect anyone to ask such a question. A trace of gunpowder spread throughout the scene.
Beside him is his best friend, Li Si.
I saw that Li Si was eight and a half feet tall, with wolf eyes and an eagle nose, tall cheekbones, and a round sky. Although he was not as handsome and elegant as Han Jingtong, he still had a handsome and handsome appearance.
Li Si cupped his hands and said, "Master Li Liu, as an important minister of the Liao Kingdom, certainly doesn't understand what it means to have talent but not to appreciate it."
Li Liu said disdainfully, "Young Master Han is a scholar who writes books and establishes opinions. Hehe, what's your name? You can't compare with your talent."
Unexpectedly, the two started to fight each other even before they discussed politics. It was obviously not because of different political views, but it had escalated to a personal attack.
Looking at them, Yang Qian pursed his lips. One was an important minister of the Liao State, and the other two were almost certainly from poor families.
It is quite difficult to win over important ministers of other countries, but it should not be difficult to win over two poor men with no money. In addition, Mu Qing also praised him just now, so there should be some ink.
Thinking of this, Yang Qian said to Li Liu, "It's wrong for you to say that. Horses with a thousand li are often found, but Bole is not always found. I think there are many people who we haven't noticed."
"Maybe they are talented people, even great talents in governing the country. Unfortunately, there are very few people with a discerning eye. There are quite a lot of blind people these days."
"Many talented people who were frustrated in other countries have already been ranked among the Nine Ministers after arriving in Xia Kingdom, which is enough to prove that it is not the fault of the talents, but the fault of the talented people.

There are many ignorant people."
Deyang Jun praised, "Well said."
Li Liu hummed twice and turned his head to the side, obviously feeling uncomfortable. It was obvious that he was blind.
Tan Tianyan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "No matter what, when talents are transferred, you will meet the right person with a discerning eye."
"But we can never escape the fate of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and the five virtues. Only by fully understanding the mutual generation and restraint of the five virtues can we grasp the rotation of heaven."
Yang Qian twitched the corner of his mouth. At this moment, he seriously doubted that Tan Tianyan's Five Virtues theory was used for fortune telling. Could this be related?
When he looked at the crowd, Yang Gan was horrified to find that everyone around him had expressions of admiration on their faces.
"Are you okay with your brains? This is completely out of your mind."
Mr. Xinyi frowned and said, "The talk of sacrificing wine is so illusory and too mysterious."
Li Liu's henchman Zhao Rui said, "It may be that our understanding is limited and we are unable to discern the way of heaven and predict the strategy of governing the country. If we can discern the secrets of heaven, we don't need to waste time on random speculations."
"The Master said: If you don't know about human affairs, you should know the destiny." Han Jingtong said.
Li Si said, "Nowadays, hundreds of schools of thought are contending, and the way to govern the country is nothing more than the rule of law, the rule of virtue, and the struggle to rule by doing nothing."
"Governing by doing nothing will bring chaos to the world, so it is not adopted by those in power." Deyang Jun also published his own political opinion and was the first to veto ruling by doing nothing.
Everyone nodded, this was almost common sense. If the students only discussed politics and did nothing to govern, it would make sense.
Whenever there are famous people and important officials discussing politics, whoever talks about the benefits of governing by doing nothing will definitely be ridiculed to death. Even if they don't criticize, others will secretly laugh at them.
Han Jingtong nodded and said, "Human nature is inherently evil, and rule by virtue is just an ideal and will not work at all."
Yang Gan crossed his hands and held his head. These people are really good. Han Jingtong does have some ink, and Li Si is not bad either. At least he can refute Li Liu a few words, and he can also see some knowledge from them.
It's just that these people are living in this era after all, and their patterns are limited by the times, but they are different. From a God's perspective, looking at them is like looking at aborigines.
"Damn it."
Yang Gan shook his head, his face was a little red, and an inexplicable sense of superiority emerged in his heart.
Seeing Yang Qian, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes sighing, Mu Qing couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, and everyone was amazed in an instant.
The Mu family thought that they were extremely beautiful, and they were usually cold and elegant, but they didn't expect that with a smile, they would captivate the entire country.
"Mr. Yang, I wonder what you think about this?"
Yang Gan was stunned for a moment and looked at everyone, only to see everyone looking at him with a different look.
Mr. Xinyi sneered and said, "Although some people are sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued, they probably only know how to cook. Discussing politics is not something that cats and dogs can do."
Yang Qian came to his senses and said with a smile, "Mr. Xinyi said it right, discussing politics is not something that only cats and dogs can do."
"To govern a big country, cooking small fish is like frying small fish. The oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other seasonings must be put in just right, no more, no less, and the same goes for the heat."
"Actually, it's very simple. Since Mr. Jing Tong's works mentioned law, technique, and power, why can't rule by law, rule by virtue, and rule by doing nothing be implemented together to make up for each other?"
"What's the explanation?" Mu Qing's eyes flashed, and there was no one else in her eyes. There was only Yang Gan in the entire lobby, and her attention was unconsciously attracted by his serious profile.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Legalists say: if punishment cannot be known, power cannot be measured, but I disagree. We can popularize the law and tell the kings, scholar-bureaucrats, and leaders of Guizhou what can and cannot be done, and Legalists have always been strict."
"Then we can add a morality to the legalist framework. The so-called rule of virtue is to use the atmosphere of the entire country to cultivate good moral character, so that many people with bad moral character will be ashamed of themselves."
"There is also governance by inaction. In fact, when it comes to governance by inaction, I think the shortcomings can be made up. Inaction does not mean inaction, but it allows certain classes and industries to develop freely. The local government will take the lead to provide correct guidance. .”
"From the kings to the scholar-bureaucrats, they are all just a bunch of drunkards. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. No matter how good the political commentary is, if it is not implemented, it is just empty talk."
Everyone looked at Yang Gan in surprise. Although they did not necessarily agree with what he said, they had to say that it was indeed within the feasible range. Unfortunately, both the rule of law and the rule of morality could no longer be supported by those in power and had been exaggerated for a long time. It is difficult to proceed.
"So brave."
"Yang Qian, you passed."
"Yes, how can you speak arbitrarily about the king?"
The poor scholars were relatively good, but the scholar-bureaucrats jumped up and scolded Yang Gan.
Mu Qing was very interested in the arguments put forward by Yang Gan, and gradually became interested.
"Mr. Yang's analysis is indeed reasonable. Governance by virtue needs to be fully promoted by those in power, and it is very likely that it will not see miraculous results for decades. The principle of governing by doing nothing can indeed be modified and guided, but it still cannot circumvent the power of those in power."
"If we start to popularize the law and let a country rely entirely on the rule of law in a short period of time, how can Mr. Yang guarantee that those in power will not use criminal law to oppress the head of Guizhou?"
"Confucianism has the so-called good etiquette, then the people will not dare to be disrespectful; good righteousness, then the people will not dare to disobey; good faith, then the people will not dare to be unkind. This is the way to be a king. If you give good punishment, Then, wouldn’t it be bad if the people become aggressive?”
Mu Qing expressed his thoughts, and Yang Qian also said that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. This sentence just proves that the upper beam is like the lower beam.
Taking the wine poured by Krisna, Yang Qian drank it all in one gulp and said thoughtfully, "This situation is because the rule of law is incomplete."
"For example, if you kill someone, according to the laws of summer, it must be beheading. One life is worth one life. However, you can add annotations to this law of summer."
"Why you kill, what your subjective will is, whether you resisted when you were caught, etc., can all be added to make the rule of law more comprehensive and suitable for everyone."
"If someone kills someone because of evil thoughts, behead him, but what should he do if he kills someone to save others? Shouldn't he be rewarded?"
Yang Qian drank another glass of wine and explained, "And you haven't finished your argument. Confucianism says that if you have good etiquette, the people will not dare to be disrespectful; if you have good righteousness, the people will not dare to be disobedient; if you have good faith, then the people will not dare to be disrespectful. Then, no one dares to be without affection. If you do this, then the people from all over the world will have to bear their sons, and there will be no use for crops."
When everyone was listening carefully, Yang Qian clicked the wine glass.
He said in a brisk tone, "I think the first three sentences of this sentence are half correct, and the last sentence is fart. The words of a saint are wrong."
...........
The whole place was silent.
A few seconds later, several scholar-bureaucrats jumped up, pointed at Yang Gan and cursed.
"This is what the Confucian sage said, but you actually slander it like this."
"Rotten wood cannot be carved. How can you still be considered a student? Even the cooks know more than you."
"Hahahaha, such an arrogant person should be taken out and beaten with a stick to relieve the hatred in his heart."
