Chapter 405 Theory
"Master Wu, what you said is really inappropriate." A person next to him frowned, disapproving all over his face, "Our wives, daughters and sisters are all noble daughters of officials, how could it be like what you said..."

"Why not?" Wu Sheng interrupted the man's words, and said seriously: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand things in the world, just in case. You and I don't even know what will happen tomorrow, let alone what will happen in a hundred years. What kind of situation, who can predict?"

The man's expression froze, and he was about to argue again, but when he saw Fang Zilan approaching, his expression immediately changed, "Master Fang..."

Fang Zilan said without anger: "Is there nothing going on in the government office recently? Your lords are so leisurely."

Everyone was terrified, and they all saluted and pleaded guilty, but Wu Sheng stood aside with a gloomy expression.

Fang Zilan raised her eyes and looked over, and said calmly: "Since you adults are all fine, and you have some opinions on the situation of orphans and widows, you might as well talk about it."

Yang Zhiqing said with a sneer: "Lord Fang, there are still many official duties in the government office, so let everyone do it."

Fang Zilan was indifferent, "Master Yang, go and find the others, we will see you in the hall."

After she said that, she turned and left, leaving everyone to look at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, but they still went to the main hall together.

Seeing that people were almost here, Fang Zilan sat on the main seat and said: "My lords, if you think it is natural for the widows to be rubbed by others, please stand on the left side. If you feel that the widows are treated harshly and are in a difficult situation, please stand on the right side."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the hall stood to the left in unison, only Wu Sheng stood to the right, and Yang Zhiqing stood in the middle, in a dilemma.

"Master Yang, why didn't you choose?" Fang Zilan's expression was indifferent, and Yang Zhiqing's face showed embarrassment, "I..."

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Master Fang, can you allow me to think again?"

Fang Zilan said noncommittally: "Since there are two parties, you can come to argue and see if the other party has any reason and whether it can be convinced."

"Master Fang wants us to reason?" One of them finally came to his senses, Fang Zilan nodded, and he sneered, "There is such a huge gap in the number of people, why is there any need to reason?"

"A lot of people doesn't mean it's reasonable." Fang Zilan's voice raised a bit, "Or are you afraid to argue with Master Wu?"

The aggressive method is always very effective, and the people standing on the left immediately became high-spirited and fought with Wu Sheng.

However, after several rounds, someone on the left hesitated for a moment, looked at Fang Zilan cautiously and said, "Master Fang, can we switch sides?"

Fang Zilan smiled slightly, took a meaningful look at the people behind them who were so angry that they jumped and scolded traitors, and said, "Of course."

So those people breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to stand on the right side, standing side by side with Wu Sheng.

Fang Zilan glanced at the left and right sides playfully, and said with a smile: "This is interesting, now there are the same number of people on the left and right sides."

The people standing on the left looked at it intently, and couldn't help being dumbfounded, their faces full of surprise.

"Master Yang." Fang Zilan said calmly, "It seems that you have to choose a side."

Cold sweat broke out on Yang Zhiqing's forehead, and Fang Zilan calmed down and said: "Time changes, and no one can sit on the fence forever."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall froze, and all their eyes were on Yang Zhiqing. He took the first step with difficulty and walked slowly to the right.

Everyone on the left side beat their chests and stamped their feet. Seeing this, Fang Zilan smiled, coughed softly and said loudly, "Quiet."

Everyone in the hall fell silent, Fang Zilan smiled, and said seriously: "Today's argument, winning or losing is not important, what is important is that I want you to understand three things. First, there are always people who have different views from yours in the world. You can neither kill them all, nor close your eyes. Anyone can be wrong or right. As the pillars of Dajing, the adults present here must distinguish right from wrong."

She paused as she spoke, and continued: "Secondly, no matter whether you are right or wrong, each of you must have a ruler in your heart, and you cannot cross that ruler at will because of what others say or do. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, it’s better to stop losses than to make mistakes again and again.”

"Thirdly, whether you are an official or a human being, you need to have empathy. You can't empathize with everyone, but you should consider others appropriately, and give convenience to others and give convenience to yourself. Even if this life is not smooth and smooth, you can still feel at ease."

After she finished speaking, she took a sip of tea and said earnestly: "Since you are officials in the government office, you know that the world is much bigger than the people in the capital. We are in charge of the affairs of the southeast. The people take it to heart. If we go higher in the future, we will benefit more people. We must not narrow our minds and vision because of the narrow and dangerous mountain climbing road.”

After hearing these words, everyone in the hall was shocked.Fang Zilan's ambiguous attitude and unpredictable temperament made them full of concerns about this argument.

As we all know, Fang Zilan hates people talking in private, they have broken a taboo today, who knows how she will toss people in different ways, unexpectedly, not only did she not punish them, but she even taught them a lesson.

Fang Zilan scanned everyone in the hall one by one, no matter what she thought, they more or less listened, as long as they could hear a word, it would be worth her effort.

"Okay, I've finished what I have to say, you go to your own work." Fang Zilan waved away the crowd, but Wu Sheng stood still.

After everyone dispersed, Wu Sheng said to Ai Ai expectantly: "Master Fang..."

"What's the matter?" Fang Zilan raised his eyebrows, Wu Sheng pursed his lips, "I dare to ask, if Mr. Fang were to choose, which side would you be on?"

Fang Zilan asked without answering, "In the beginning, Master Wu was the only one standing on the right side. I don't know why?"

Wu Sheng seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "This is not only my choice, but also the choice of my mentor, Mr. Su Heng. When I was under Mr.'s school before, Mr. once mentioned that he lamented the failure of the law. But so many years have passed Now, Dajing still treats orphans and widows in the same way, I..."

His voice was a little trembling, but he didn't hesitate at all, "Mr. is old, so I, a young man, should fight for this matter."

"Do you want to advise His Majesty to amend the law?" Fang Zilan put it bluntly, Wu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded firmly, "Yes. But I know that I am humble and light-hearted, so I ask Master Fang to help me. "

After saying that, he knelt down and bowed down in a dignified way.

Fang Zilan stared fixedly at the person in front of her. For some reason, a lot of human affairs appeared in her mind. There was the old man Su Heng who said that the people are more important than the king, and there was also when he first entered the university, he said at the opening ceremony that "the infinite distance, Countless people are related to me", the sun was scorching hot.

At that time, she just listened to it with her ears and didn't feel much emotion. It wasn't until she walked this road that she realized that it wasn't just a person's name, and it wasn't just a sentence or a truth, but the blood, tears and belief of thousands of people.

So, how could she refuse such a request?
When she heard her own voice, every word was extremely solemn, "Okay, I will do my best."
