In front of everyone, Guan Yan stood up and said loudly: "The rise of politics lies in following the hearts of the people; what abolished politics lies in opposition to the hearts of the people. " Whether it is the king's way or the minister's way, following the hearts of the people is the basis!"

Guan Yan was excited, not only did he cover up Yuan Shu's theory of six righteousness and six evils, but he actually denied Zheng Xuan's theory. Zheng Xuan meant that the political stability of a country mainly depends on the monarch and his subjects. The monarch's affairs cannot be decided, so let's discuss how to be a good subject.

However, Guan Yan's sentence directly says that the stability of national rectification depends on the people's hearts, and the favorability of the people's hearts represents political prosperity and failure.

When Yuan Shu heard Guan Yan's words, he was furious: "Guan Wende is so arrogant! The topic that everyone Zheng has put forward today is the 'the way of the ministers of the country'. If you don't discuss the topic and still speak loudly, it is actually arrogant!"

Another person stood up in the crowd and pointed at Guan Yan and said indignantly: "What Yuan Bingcao said is very good. Even if Guan Wende and you have little knowledge and talent, you don't know what the topic says, you can't say this paradox! The national government is the affairs of the king and the ministers, and the king and the ministers can create a prosperous era together. But you actually said that 'the hearts of the people are the basis', and it is really a disobedient statement!"

Guan Yan, who was still watching Zheng Xuan's face carefully, became angry when he heard this person's words. "The people's hearts are based" turned out to be "rebellious words"?

Speaking of which, although Guan Yan, who came from later generations, was more than two thousand years apart from Guan Zhong, Guan Yan's understanding of "people's heart" since childhood is indeed very similar to Guan Zhong's "people's heart is based". In addition, Guan Yan in this life is nominally a descendant of Guan Zhong. If his ancestors don't support him, who will support him?

Guan Yan immediately shouted loudly: "If you study the ways of Confucius and Mencius, you should know that Mencius said: The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least. But now he does not follow the holy teachings, what do you mean?"

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, all schools of thought were abolished and Confucianism was respected only. Confucius and Mencius were saints and the other was a sub-saint. However, Confucius valued kings, while Mencius valued the people. In the late feudal period of the Ming and Qing dynasties, some of Mencius's words were not favored by kings.

For example, the sentence "The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least important." It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang saw this sentence, he was furious and said, "If this old man lives to this day, I must do him seriously!"

Now that Guan Yan put forward what Mencius said, the man was so blushed and didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, Yuan Shao, who had been sitting and watching for a long time, spoke: "Guan Wende, you said 'the hearts of the people are the basis', how can you correct the hearts of the people?"

Yuan Shao avoided the topic just now and wanted to give Guan Yan a difficult question in educating the people. This empty question has been debated since Xia Qi established a feudal dynasty. I wonder how many great sages in the past dynasties have answered this question. But people who have different opinions can always find some problems. When Guan Yan answers, he will ask for some questions, and he will fight back if he has a few people on his side, he will have some ideas.

When Guan Yan heard about Yuan Shao's question, he was really grateful to the "Twenty-Four National Policy". He had read it when he was idle before, and there was a sentence in it. Guan Yan raised his voice and replied: "If the land is declining and conquering, the people will not move; if the government does not travel to the old, the people will not steal; if the mountains and lakes are in their own right, the people will not be meticulous; if the fields of Fuling and Jin are in equal parts, the people will not regret it; if the people are not seized, the people will be rich; if the sacrifice is not made up, the cattle and sheep will be successful!"

After saying that, Yuan Shao stood up behind him and wanted to refute.

But Zheng Xuan, who had not spoken for a long time, changed his face. He looked at Guan Yan and interrupted the man and said, "What is this little brother, who is his name? Who is his position?"

Guan Yan was suddenly stunned by the question, but Zheng Xuan still replied respectfully: "Guan Yan, whose courtesy name is Wende, is currently the General of the Hu Ben!"

"Submit Guan?" Zheng Xuan frowned, as if Guan Yan had said this, only interested in Guan Yan's surname.

After a while, Zheng Xuan looked at Guan Yan deeply and said, "If the country has a lot of wealth, those who come far away will come. If the land is reborn, the people will stay. If the granaries are full, they will know etiquette. If the food and clothing are enough, they will know honor and disgrace!"

After hearing this sentence, Guan Yan's face also changed. This is the beginning of the "Twenty-Four National Policy"! According to Guan Zhong, the "Twenty-Four National Policy" is only passed down to the family leader. So where did Zheng Xuan know? Is it a coincidence or something?

Guan Yan was full of doubts, but he could only stare at Zheng Xuan blankly.

Zheng Xuan closed his eyes, smiled secretly, and said loudly: "This matter is now on hold, please discuss the issue again!"

When Zheng Xuan came out to rescue the siege, Yuan Shao naturally did not dare to continue asking questions. Everyone in the museum also started to talk about it. However, Guan Yan had no intention of listening to what others said. His heart was full of what Zheng Xuan said just now.

The Seminar lasted for two hours and ended. According to convention, after the Seminar, Zheng Xuan would meet with outstanding talents at the Seminar again. This is an honor and a dream for all those who participated in the Seminar.

Zheng Xuan's turbid eyes swept across the people in the museum. Everyone was holding their chests up and facing Zheng Xuan's gaze with hope, hoping that this honor would fall on their heads.
