All the officials were shocked.
The Empress Dowager actually held Fang Yun's hand and slowly stood up again. She looked at Fang Yun in surprise.
This was the legendary voice of the nation.
From now on, as long as Jingguo held a court meeting, this sentence would definitely be heard in the air.
Those who disrupted the ancient ceremony would be punished by the world!
Unless Jingguo was destroyed and Fang Yun betrayed the country.
Only a few founding fathers, lords of resurgence, and virtuous ministers could form such a voice.
There were two conditions to form the voice of the nation.
First, they had to be dedicated to the country and never have any rebellious thoughts.
Second, they had to have made great contributions to the country, and their words had a significant positive impact on the future direction of the country.
In the past, too many monarchs and ministers wanted to form the voice of the nation, but very few succeeded.
Even the founding father of Jingguo failed to form the voice of the nation. This was also his greatest regret in his later years, and it was even written in the history books.
There were not many wise monarchs and capable ministers who formed the voice of the nation in the past. There were only Qin Shi Huang, Han Taizu, Emperor Wu, Emperor Guangwu, Zhuge Liang, and a dozen others.
Many capable ministers in history were not inferior to Zhuge Liang, but they could not form the voice of the nation because of their disloyalty.
Once the voice of the nation appeared, at least this person's loyalty was absolutely unquestionable.
Moreover, some scholars privately said that as long as there was a voice of the nation, he must be the lord of the nation. Whoever opposed him would be opposing the country. If he fell, the country would fall apart.
Sheng Boyuan's expression changed. It was as if he had opened a dyehouse.
All the officials who opposed Fang Yun lowered their heads and tried their best to control the palace.
They were afraid that their courage would be shaken!
They were afraid that their courage would be covered in dust!
In history, all those who opposed the lord of the nation had failed.
Some officials looked at the two figures behind the curtain, one big and one small, and shook their heads gently. They thought to themselves that if there was someone to blame, it was Jingguo's founding father who valued the voice of the nation too much. His regret was left in the history books and spread widely among the people of Jingguo. Now, it had instead helped Fang Yun.
Jingguo's founding father did not make the voice of the nation, but Fang Yun did. What did this mean?
Fang Yun was more suitable to be the master of Jingguo than the founder of Jingguo!
No matter what the people thought, from now on, at least in the eyes of the scholars in Jingguo, Fang Yun was the rightful ruler of Jingguo. He was the rightful ruler of Jingguo!
It could even be said that all the scholars in Jingguo would support Fang Yun's plan to seize power and ascend to the throne a few years later.
After the initial shock, some of the officials realized that the reason Fang Yun was able to speak out in support of the country, other than the fact that his words were very correct, other than the fact that Fang Yun truly did not have any disloyalty to the country of Jing, the most important thing was the ten rainbow streaking across the sky yesterday.
The officials even suspected that Fang Yun had been recognized by the Fate of Jingguo the moment the Ten Rainbows appeared in the sky. This level of recognition was greater than anyone else in Jingguo, even the Emperor. It was probably on par with Chen Sheng.
It was the Empress Dowager and Jingjun's sorrow to be born in this era.
However, it was the blessing of the scholars in Jingguo!
Fang Yun was also stunned for a while. He did not expect to make such a statement. Then, he thought of the Longevity Jade Throne and understood the reason.
However, Zhang Poyue and Fang Yun's friends were not only happy, but also a little worried.
They secretly sent a letter to Fang Yun.
If you want to gain benefits, you must bear the weight.
If the scholars were too closely related to the Fate of Jingguo, it would affect the direction of the Divine Path.
However, Fang Yun smiled and replied to all of them with thanks, not saying much.
As a scholar, he had to bear the burden of an entire race. How could a mere country do anything?
After a long time, the officials came to their senses. They did not know whether to congratulate him or not.
If they congratulated him in public, it would be like roasting the Empress Dowager and Jingjun.
If they did not congratulate him, they would be looking down on him.
The Grand Secretary of the Hall of Rites, Lin Shouyan, was still looking at Fang Yun. Others did not notice the change in Fang Yun's wording, but he did.
When Fang Yun said that sentence, he did not refer to himself as' Prime Minister ',' this official ', or' this minister ', but' Bensei '. This meant that Fang Yun was not only issuing the ban as the Prime Minister, but also as Xusheng.
Lin Shouyan touched his official seal and sent a letter to the Hall of Rites elder. The content was only seven words.
Fang Yun wants to go against the Great Etiquette!
Fang Yun inadvertently glanced at Lin Shouyan, then continued, "You must be respectful, but you can't be as respectful as me. At that time, I was obsessed with Kong Sheng's words and forgot his views on etiquette. There is another line in the Doctrine of the Mean. Confucius said: I say that the Great Etiquette is not enough. I learn from Yin Li, there is Song Cun. I learn from Zhou Li, and today I use it. I follow Zhou. "
Fang Yun continued, "This sentence has different interpretations, but connecting it to the similar words in the Analects of Confucius, we have a more correct understanding. The meaning of this sentence is that Kong Sheng knew the etiquette of the Great Etiquette of the Great Etiquette, but the Qi Kingdom that inherited it was weak and did not preserve it well, so there is no way to prove it. Kong Sheng learned the etiquette of the Shang Dynasty, but the Yin Li is only a remnant of the Song Kingdom, and it is not enough to prove Kong Sheng's right. Kong Sheng learned the Zhou Li, and now it is widely spread and used. Therefore, Kong Sheng did not follow the Xia and Shang etiquette, but followed the Zhou Li. "
"Many people think that Kong Sheng followed the Zhou Li because the Zhou Li was perfect, and the Xia and Shang Li were incomplete. But they neglected the most important 'use it today'. Some people say that this is for Kong Sheng to use it himself, but they are wrong. Connecting it to Kong Sheng's views on etiquette in other books, Bensei said in the New Commentary on the Mean that it was not that Kong Sheng did not like the Xia or Shang Li, but that he thought that the Xia and Shang Li could not adapt to the new era and had been abandoned by history. Even if it survived, even if Kong Sheng knew about it, it was useless and could not be spread. The Zhou Li was different. It was widely spread and practical. Kong Sheng followed the Zhou Li and promoted it because only the Zhou Li could adapt to that era, and only the Zhou Li could form a unified etiquette, and only the Zhou Li could end the chaos at that time. "
"In other words, it was not that Kong Sheng followed the Zhou Li, but that Kong Sheng used the name of the Zhou Li to stabilize the country and pacify the people!"
This sentence was like a clap of thunder, and it shook the ears of all the officials.
No one in the history of the human race could give such a profound explanation for Kong Sheng's words.
Fang Yun paused for a moment and scanned the crowd. He slowly said, "In short, if there is a new etiquette, even the Saints will follow it!"
Everyone realized that Fang Yun had a more straightforward sentence that he did not say, and that was that Kong Sheng had been using the Zhou Li to create and implement a new etiquette!
The sound of the Great Dao suddenly rang out.
Within a thousand li, a loud and clear voice repeated Fang Yun's words.
In the moat of the capital, the dragon gate appeared, and thousands of fish leaped.
None of the officials in the court objected.
No one dared to risk their courage to oppose the sound of the Great Dao at this time.
In the Hall of Rites, Lin Shouyan clenched his fists tightly.
Because the elder of the Hall of Rites had already replied to him with only four words.
Wait and see.
But after the sound of the Great Dao rang out, Lin Shouyan slowly relaxed his fists and carefully pondered Fang Yun's words. Throw away all titles and return to the identity of a scholar.
The faces of the officials who opposed Fang Yun turned ashen.
No matter how stupid they were, at this time, they understood that all of this was Fang Yun's trap.
If Fang Yun were to implement a new etiquette and directly forbid the restoration of the ancient etiquette, he would definitely be opposed by the entire court, and the Hall of Rites would brazenly take action.
Not to mention Fang Yun, even if a Half-saint forcefully forbade the restoration of the ancient etiquette, it could cause the foundation of the Divine Path to become unstable.
Thus, Fang Yun used a roundabout method, loosening the reins only to grasp them better, to force the civil and military officials of the court, and even a large number of scholars of the human race, to oppose it. Then, at the right time, he would throw out the book he had prepared beforehand, Ten Rainbows Across the Sky, to prevent himself from falling into a hopeless situation.
Finally, he would go to the Throne Room to ask for forgiveness and reveal his true intentions.
