Fish swimming around the world

At this time, Wang Wen Ce spoke: "The Prime Minister is Jiang Bo Yue. He entered the world and assisted Taizu in ruling the world. He was granted the title of the Prime Minister. He guarded the country for 808 years after his death. He was called the hidden prime minister of the country. His achievements were great and admired by the people. Now that the Great Zhou is in turmoil, the Prime Minister's artifact has been born. The wise man is chosen to stabilize the country again. Anyone who can drive the Prime Minister's artifact and resonate with the artifact will be regarded as the choice of the Prime Minister in heaven. He will inherit his title of hidden prime minister of the country, hold the divine whip, and protect the country and the people. In accordance with the order of the Crown Prince, the inheritance and verification will be opened immediately-"

As soon as Wang Wen Ce finished speaking, the third worshiper suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"

Jiang Fan frowned. It's you again, Lao Deng. You know that the people from the Holy Land are not simple. What do you want to do?

The prince nodded slightly towards the east: "Please speak, Third Lord."

The Third Lord stepped forward and said: "The Imperial Court selected the virtuous and capable, and the Holy Land is very pleased, so the four elders and I were specially appointed to come to watch the ceremony. However, I think that since the Great Zhou is the master of the world and has selected the virtuous, it should cover the world, how can it be limited to the five countries?"

His words are a bit annoying. Everyone knows that the reason why the Imperial Court did this is because Taiyue wanted to create a leader, and the prince just took the lead. However, in order to limit the leader's permission, the prince created a prime minister. Since the leader is one of the five kings, the prime minister should naturally come from another country, otherwise how can there be checks and balances. The Holy Land did not come out earlier or later, but made a noise at this time. Isn't it obvious that it is interfering?

Although the words sound good, the fact is that this is the case, especially since the Third Lord said it was his own idea, and it is obvious that he wants to distance himself from the Holy Land and avoid the suspicion of interfering in politics. But Canxin is here, and what you said is basically on behalf of Taiyue, who can not listen?

The prince was not displeased at all: "The imperial court governs the world, but the holy land is respected by the world. If the three priests have any high opinions, you can speak frankly."

"I think that we should invite all the wise men in the world to participate fairly to select the real wise men, so that the world can be convinced."

The prince said calmly: "What the priest said is reasonable, but the world is turbulent and the situation is urgent. Once the army is mobilized, it will take a long time to screen carefully. This prince thought that his ancestor visited the prime minister, which was a targeted move, so he followed suit. Therefore, the five countries will form a Dianchi League and jointly decide on this case under the supervision of the dark court. It is inconvenient to change it."

This is very clear, you are right, but the world is in chaos. Not long ago, a war broke out in southern Shanxi. We don’t have the time to organize it, and we can’t be sure who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Therefore, I will find a prime minister for myself according to the practice of Taizu Renhuang to find the prime minister. There is a precedent to follow, and there is also the dark court to supervise. The five countries signed the letter of state together, which cannot be changed.

It was well-reasoned, even Taiyue could not refute it, but the three priests were obviously prepared and just smiled.

"What the prince said is very reasonable, but this matter is of great importance. The Holy Land has heard about it, and it is also anxious for the imperial court. It has been two months to visit the wise and ask for ability. Although time is tight, it has found a virtuous person. I wonder if you can participate in the election together?"

Jiang Fan couldn't help but curse inwardly. Sure enough, he didn't hold back his fart, but although this fart is smelly, you have to smell it. Who let them be the Holy Land? And what they said is high-sounding, and the imperial court can't refuse it.

And the Holy Land's thoughts are not difficult to guess. Since they have lost the opportunity to select the leader, they want to place one of their own people to take the position of prime minister.

The prince nodded slightly after hearing this: "I wonder who this great sage is?"

The third attendant gestured to the old man in plain clothes: "This is him."

The prince's eyes fell on the old man: "May I ask, what is the sage's name and where are you from?"

The old man nodded slightly, stepped out, and respectfully held his hands up: "I, the humble Mingjia, Gongsun Xing, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Prince."

When he said this, everyone was shocked.

Mingjia, Gongsun Xing.

Mingjia is one of the hundreds of schools of thought, and its reputation is great, not less than the top schools of Legalism, Confucianism, Mohism, and Yin-Yang School. And Gongsun Xing is the head of Mingjia, and his reputation is far-reaching.

In terms of reputation, this person is indeed qualified to run for election, but I didn't expect Taiyue to dig him out.

Jiang Fan frowned slightly. Even if he could run for election fairly today, he would not recommend Gongsun Xing to come.

Because although he had never seen this person, he had heard of Mingjia and this person.

In Jiang Fan's view, the School of Names belongs to the theoretical deduction stream, advocating the theory of name and reality that follows the name and assumes the responsibility, and advocating the correct name and assumes the reality. That is, dialectical names should be in line with reality. It emphasizes that when naming things, it must be ensured that the actual content of things can be accurately reflected.

Unfortunately, the various schools of thought basically do not recognize it. Jiang Fan once summarized the unified views and cognition of various schools on them. In his own words, it is: the School of Names advocates the use of logical principles to analyze things and then identify the content, but most of them are philosophical discussions on social issues that are unrelated to political practice. Although they explored the identity and difference of things and made some contributions to the development of logical debates, they either exaggerate universal connections and changes, committing the error of relativism, or exaggerate relative independence and stillness, committing the problem of absolutism. Therefore, the theories and academics of the School of Names have always been named as sophistry by many schools. Although they are popular among the people, they are rarely supported by those in power. In particular, they also have a common characteristic, that is, they pursue fame and profit, and value officials and business.

But this does not mean that the theories of famous scholars have no positive significance. It is just that the school’s own development positioning is still insufficient and it is difficult to compare with the mainstream thinking of this era.

This Gongsun Xing is a famous representative figure, known for "a white horse is not a horse". In short, this person emphasized that the connotations of horse, white, and white horse are different, so a white horse is not a horse. His ideological advocacy of "separating hard and white" is essentially an infinite exaggeration of the isolation of things, emphasizing absolute separation, denying the unified connection between them, and is isolated and one-sided. Mr. Zou once criticized him with disgust for "using complicated words to fake each other, embellishing words to be honest, and clever metaphors to shift each other", believing that he "harmed the great way".

Mr. Yan believed that it would be a disaster to appoint such a person as a high official to govern the country, but it must be said that at present, because of his outstanding eloquence and novel and special theory, his reputation is extremely prominent. He was even nicknamed "the hidden prime minister of the white horse."

Taiyue dug this person out, and he must have caught a glimpse of the two words "hidden prime minister", but he didn't know what benefits he promised him.

"It turns out that he is the famous hidden prime minister of the white horse, I am disrespectful."

Ji Zongyi nodded slightly.

Gongsun Xing saw that the prince also knew him, and his expression was a little arrogant: "Gongsun is not talented, but I have a heart to serve the country and the world. I came here this time to recommend myself. I am very grateful for the permission of the Holy Land. I wonder if Your Highness the Prince can allow me to try?"

The prince did not refuse at all, but smiled: "Since you have the heart to serve the country and have been recommended by the Holy Land, you must be very talented. The Great Zhou selects talents in an unconventional way, and you can participate."

Gongsun Xing's face suddenly became happy, and he hurriedly thanked him: "Gongsun thanks the prince for his grace."

Jiang Fan sneered. He looked like a hermit just now, but he was happy when he heard that there was an opportunity. Famous people like fame, as expected.

Jiang Fan was not surprised at the prince's attitude. This guy must have been preparing for a long time to come, and the Holy Land must have arranged various countermeasures for him. Instead of arguing and making things unpleasant, it would be better to let him participate. After all, with the innate Qi in charge, this guy would most likely not cause much trouble.
