Fan Hongyu then puffed up his chest and replied in a deep voice: "Secretary Qiu, once you serve as an official, you will benefit a place. There is a clear saying in ancient times. As a ruler and a shepherd, you should always have the common people in mind. Is the distinction between clear and dirty currents really so important?
If I had to choose between a loyal minister and a good minister, I would rather choose a good minister. More than a thousand years ago, Wei Zhenggong and Wei Zhenggong had clearly set an example. Emperor Taizong himself said that before he ascended the throne, the most important minister was the
After Fang Xuanling and Fang Liang Gong came to the throne, their first priority was Wei Zheng. Without Wei Zheng, there would be no rule of Zhenguan and no prosperous Tang Dynasty. If Wei Zheng only wanted to be a loyal minister, then as Li Jiancheng's chief adviser, he would have died during the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
.The lower ones do not deceive the earth, the middle ones do not deceive others, and the superiors do not deceive the heavens. During the Five Dynasties, Feng Kedao and Feng Linggong could also set an example for good ministers. He was as humble as this, noble as he was, long as he was, and old as he was. He served as a good minister for ten emperors in four dynasties.
Prime Minister, how much credit do you have for standing firm in the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, maintaining the inheritance of Chinese culture, and maintaining the vitality of the country?"
Qiu Mingshan really had a headache.
One of his criticisms actually elicited such a lengthy rebuttal from Fan Hongyu.
Moreover, the examples quoted from scriptures are very appropriate.
Measured by strict Confucian standards, both Wei Zheng and Feng Dao can be called "two ministers" and are despised by orthodox literati. However, these two people are exactly the examples of good ministers through the ages.
This guy, despite his young age, knows a lot.
"So, you are criticizing Ouyang Xiu?"
During the Five Dynasties, Feng Dao was the "Old Changle" who was highly respected by the scholars at that time. His reputation became very bad. After the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu compiled "New History of the Five Dynasties" and spared no effort to criticize Feng Dao, saying that he "has milk."
"Mother", he lost all the integrity of scholars. Feng Dao thus became a "family slave with four surnames" and was spurned by orthodox scholars for a long time.
Fan Hongyu praised Feng Dao here, so Qiu Mingshan asked this question with a bit of a joke.
Even if you read some miscellaneous books and unofficial history, you just memorize them by rote and use them as excuses at the right time. Do you really have such far-sightedness at such a young age?
Fan Hongyu said slowly: "It's not like criticizing Ouyang Xiu. The times are different, and the views are naturally different. When Ouyang Xiu wrote "New History of the Five Dynasties", the country had been unified, and the Zhao Dynasty was declared orthodox. There were no longer the heroes of the Five Dynasties.
During the melee, Ouyang Xiu of course wanted to call on all the scholars in the world to be loyal to one family. This was determined by the actual situation at the time. Feng Dao did not have this condition. Li Cunxu, Li Siyuan, Shi Jingtang, and Liu Zhiyuan were all barbarians.
Who is loyal to? No matter who he is loyal to, later generations will not have a good opinion of him. Finally, he has an emperor worthy of his assistant, Chai Rong. Feng Dao himself is already old and about to die. So Feng Dao's choice is to be loyal to the court and not to himself.
What's wrong with this? He has his own principles as an official and a person, and he is very upright. He is not greedy for money, not lustful, broad-minded, and has impeccable personal morals. He is almost a perfect person. If Ouyang Xiu was born in the Five Dynasties, he would be nothing more than a perfect person.
The two choices are either to be Feng Dao or die. If that is the case, it will be someone else's turn to scold him, not his turn to scold Feng Dao."
Speaking of this, Fan Hongyu smiled softly and said: "If Ouyang Xiuzhen was born in the fifth generation, he probably would not be as good as Feng Dao, nor would he be able to write such masterpieces as "The Drunkard's Pavilion" and "Ode to the Sound of Autumn". This
These are all things that can only be found in a peaceful and prosperous age.
Fan Weiguo and Cai Yang were stunned.
Fan Weiguo, in particular, stared at his son fiercely, as if he didn't even recognize him.
Did he go to a public security school or a history department?
Qiu Mingshan was also stunned. After a while, he sighed softly and said, "Feng Dao can't be imitated. Although Mr. Nan Huaijin defended Feng Dao, he also said that Feng Dao can't imitate him."
Qiu Mingshan was a college student in the 1960s, with a very solid foundation in history and Chinese studies.
Fan Hongyu said: "Secretary Qiu, there is no need to learn from Feng Dao, just learn from Wei Zheng."
The reason why he talked so long was to relieve Qiu Mingshan's heart.
If Qiu Mingshan loses his temper and the "die loyal" Lei Yungang is in trouble, the four people in this house will all be "finished".
"What if we learn from Wei Zheng?"
Fan Weiguo suddenly interrupted and asked. Fan Weiguo was also a college student in the 1960s, but he studied science, not liberal arts. His knowledge of literature and history was not as good as Qiu Mingshan's.
Fan Hongyu turned to his father, nodded slightly, and said politely, and then said: "Learn from Wei Zheng, and deal with the situation rather than the person. Wei Zheng is not a Confucian, he is a strategist. The art of strategism has always been criticized, but it is the real politics! Compared with
Confucian theory is more suitable for the imperial court. In fact, throughout the history of our country, whether it is ancient or modern, those who can really gain a foothold in the political storm and hold important positions have used the technique of vertical and horizontal. Confucianism
and classics are just their shields."
Qiu Mingshan couldn't help but nodded slightly.
He is naturally familiar with Wei Zheng's history.
In the early Tang Dynasty, scholars and officials were very particular about "originality". Wei Zheng was born in a poor family, which meant he had no background. He didn't even have a good background. He served Liu Wuzhou first, then Wagang Army, and then he joined the prince Li Jiancheng's family.
He became a "strategist" and once offered advice to Li Jiancheng to get rid of the King of Qin early to avoid "raising a tiger and causing trouble." Such a person, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, joined Li Shimin again, he was simply a "traitor". If he was born in the late Ming Dynasty,
It will definitely be included in the "Biography of Erchen" by Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty.
But this Wei Zheng later became the number one remonstrator throughout the ages, and his name will go down in history.
This is the master of all the vertical and horizontal skills of the Tang Dynasty.
Although Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was so angry that he wanted to kill him many times, he finally gave him a high evaluation comparable to Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling had the most orthodox origin and the purest "provenance". He had been the prime minister for twenty years and held the highest position.
Human minister.
It can be seen that it is difficult for history to have any unified standard for the evaluation of a person. Fan Hongyu is right. When serving as an official, the most important thing is to benefit one party. As for who you are loyal to, it is secondary.
The people are the most important thing, the country is the second most important thing, and the king is the most important thing!
Seeing Qiu Mingshan nod slightly and his face become gentler, Fan Hongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the elaborate rhetoric finally worked. Fan Hongyu knew that he was soft-spoken and only talked about truth. Qiu Mingshan was sure
I can’t listen. When it comes to political and ideological work, how is he Qiu Mingshan’s opponent?
Only by starting from history and using famous officials in ancient times as examples may we be able to impress Qiu Mingshan.
After all, Qiu Mingshan is a cultural man, not a rough and tumble official.
"Let's get down to business. Of the four inferences you just mentioned, you only mentioned two."
Qiu Mingshan's thoughts immediately returned from history, looked at Fan Hongyu, and said calmly.
Fan Hongyu smiled and responded respectfully: "Yes. The third point is inferred from the attitude of Minister Cao Junming. Basically, I think Minister Cao is telling the story. He just asked me a few words.
There was no threat or inducement to confess. You can be sure that he got the answer he wanted from me."
As for staying in Yuyang County for one more day, it is just to cover up face. You can't really go all the way from the capital to Yuyang just to "verify" with a young man like Fan Hongyu, right? That's too explicit, some people's faces
The whiskers are not good looking.
Qiu Mingshan said in a deep voice: "Be careful what you say!"
This guy even said things like "threats" and "inducing confessions". Even though he was in a secret room and everyone was his confidant, when it came to a big shot like Cao Junming, it was better not to talk nonsense.
"yes."
Fan Weiguo pondered and asked, "Is it necessary for Minister Cao to make this special trip?"
Fan Hongyu smiled slightly and said: "This is the fourth inference."
"you say……"
"Minister Cao came here because someone filed a complaint. Someone reported to the superiors that this article was not written by Secretary Qiu, but by me. This is a very serious political issue. Now big shots think this article is useful.
, If you want to put it to good use, you naturally need to verify it clearly. Minister Cao personally came down to summon me, which is the most authoritative conclusion. I also clearly told those who complained to stop making trouble."
Qiu Mingshan, Fan Weiguo, and Cai Yang all changed their expressions.
They basically agree with Fan Hongyu’s analysis.
The question is, who is complaining!
The person who complained must have a lot of opinions against Qiu Mingshan. Seeing that Qiu Mingshan's article was going to have a big impact, he felt angry and had to file a complaint. If the complaint is made, it will prove that this is indeed a "fake". Qiu Mingshan
It's going to be really bad. The dignified deputy secretary of the prefectural committee "takes credit for reward" and uses the credit of his young staff to put money in his own face. It's a joke. His personal conduct is really bad. His political future will probably be ruined.
Moreover, the complainant is very courageous and capable, and can directly complain to the senior management, which is definitely not possible for ordinary people.
It seems that everyone can guess who this person is.
Fan Hongyu smiled and said: "I estimate that there are more than one complainants, some from our area, and maybe some from the province, and they have not communicated with each other. But no matter who the complainant is, I will leave if I want to see it.
A bad move."
"How can I see it?"
Qiu Mingshan asked immediately.
"If you go against Secretary Rong, will you get any good results?"
Fan Hongyu said with determination.
Qiu Mingshan's article was recommended to "People's Daily" by Rong Qigao's personal instruction from the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. The complainant not only wanted to slap Qiu Mingshan in the face, but also slapped Rong Qigao's face.
In Rong Qigao's heart, I'm afraid it's not that comfortable, right?
Sooner or later, we have to settle accounts with these people!
"So, Secretary Qiu, this matter has basically been settled. I personally think there is nothing to worry about."
Fan Hongyu said, but his eyes lingered on Fan Weiguo's face for a moment, and a hint of worry flashed past.
This subtle change in expression naturally failed to escape Qiu Mingshan's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This kid has really become a spirit.
I'm afraid that by this time, Fan Weiguo had not expected that Qiu Mingshan would be fine, and Fan Weiguo's troubles had just begun.
