"Lao Fang, you are in trouble. The higher-ups have objections to you."
In the newspaper office, Fang Zheng was drinking tea and eating snacks, reading the news from the public.
At present, the public response is pretty good, and there are not many people who oppose the admissions.
It can be considered that he laid the groundwork well.
The first is the tragic situation of the baby girl, the second is due to Zhao Linglong's image building, and the third is the contribution of his own daughter-in-law.
Although the people did not oppose it very much, there were still many scholars who criticized it in private.
However, it is not a climate and will not affect the overall situation.
As soon as Fang Zheng put down the newspaper, he pondered: "Who in the court is opposing my work?"
"Looking at the situation, everyone led by Yang Yingcai is basically opposed. My father did not express his position. He only said that Eastern Suburb University is your private property. It seems that he does not want to interfere more and is ready to watch the show in the middle."
"How are you going to deal with it?" Li Yuanzhao muttered as he ate the snacks on the table.
Fang Zheng said: "It's not difficult to solve. It's a matter of ethics. Those old guys have rigid ideas and the resistance will be extraordinary. So I have been mentally prepared."
“Not only are we mentally prepared, but we have already prepared the way to break the situation!”
"Oh? Can you show me a little bit?" Li Yuanzhao became curious.
If asked directly, Lao Fang would definitely not tell him because he likes to keep things secret.
But it's still possible to show off your bottom.
Fang Zhengyi did not answer, but asked instead: "If you are Your Highness, how should you solve such a problem?"
Li Yuanzhao stretched out two fingers: "If you want me to solve this problem, there are two directions."
"The first is inducement, doing things is profitable and attracting other people into the game."
"The second point is to be reasonable and refute him on the basis of truth and justice."
"The final decision is made by my father. As long as he doesn't interfere, then these two routes are feasible for me."
Fang Zhengyi sighed: "Your Highness said it well, most things in the world have such solutions. It can be said that the answers are perfect, but none of them are easy to use."
"Well! Why do you say that?" Li Yuanzhao said unconvinced.
Fang Zheng said: "This is the first inducement. There is no profit at all in establishing a girls' school. I just want to strive for a future for girls. To be honest, it is almost the same as charity. Whether it can succeed in the future and the scope of success are How big it is is completely unknown.”
"I believe that the future will be bright and women can create countless values, but can others believe it? You can't lure others with an uncertain future that cannot prove its potential."
Li Yuanzhao frowned: "Yes, but the second point is. I stand on the basis of justice. The establishment of a girls' school may alleviate the problem of abandoned babies among the people. They should be irrefutable."
"Wrong!" Fang Zhengyi said without hesitation, "You are indeed standing for justice, and no one will object to you on this point. But the veterans in the court have far more experience in debate than you and I, so it is difficult for them to be led by you. Nose goes.”
"What will they say then? By destroying the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles and disrupting civil order, you have upheld one kind of righteousness while destroying another. At this stage, they will weigh the pros and cons of the two and reduce you to nothing. value."
"And we have no comrades on our side. Does Your Highness still think there is hope for victory?"
Li Yuanzhao fell into a dilemma: "Hey, this won't work, and that won't work. According to you, there seems to be no hope. Anyway, I can't figure it out. What would you do if it were you?"
Fang Zheng smiled: "As a minister, Your Highness should also understand... When I get to the palace, I will mess around with them first."
"This group of people has already experienced hundreds of battles. You may not be an opponent of ordinary logic. Go in and disrupt their thinking immediately, find your own rhythm, and at least strive to take the initiative."
"It's like marching in the army and fighting, morale comes first! We don't need to lose face. Anyway, we are all deprived of our official position."
Li Yuanzhao's face fell.
There was no way he could learn this trick. Lao Fang's mouth could always say things that would shatter people's outlook on life.
He said it was okay, but he might suffer disaster if he went back after saying that.
"Then what? The initiative has been won, what next?"
"Then, I move people with my love." Fang Zhengyi said deeply.
Move people with love
Li Yuanzhao was stunned: "Old Fang, don't you know how much trouble you have caused them..."
Fang Zheng became angry in embarrassment: "Am I annoying people? I'm so popular, okay!"
"Okay, okay, keep talking..."
Fang Zheng cleared his throat: "I have always been pragmatic and I like to use logic to speak to the facts. However, although facts and logic are good, there is one thing that is better than the two."
"What?"
"Emotions, or emotions. Emotions are unreasonable. Facts and logic may seem impeccable, but once you confront someone's emotions, you will almost always lose more than you win."
"As long as the emotions of the court officials can be aroused, subsequent matters will be relatively easy. This matter does not touch their interests, but only touches their ideas. Therefore, as long as the emotions are in place, the force of this rebound will definitely overwhelm the opposition. Opinion!"
Li Yuanzhao shook his head: "I don't quite understand. You also said that the princes in the court have experienced many battles. Can they be as easy to incite as ordinary people?"
"Incitement? This time it is not incitement, but seduction, arousing things deep in people's hearts. Even if the courtiers have experienced hundreds of battles, they may not be much stronger emotionally than ordinary people, and the emotions of some of them are said to be They may not be richer than the average person, but they hide it deeply enough.”
Fang Zheng said: "Your Highness, please do not underestimate people's emotions. In this world, dynasties have changed, but some religions can survive for thousands of years, relying on this."
"People live in the world and the dead ascend to heaven. People's emotions need sustenance and emotions need to be adjusted. These are the main 'products' provided by religion. No one can live purely rationally. This kind of irrational power is beyond your imagination."
Fang Zheng spoke eloquently: "It's not enough to arouse the emotions of all the officials. We also need to have a final word, so that everyone is speechless and there will be no further trouble."
"How to make the final decision?"
"Public opinion, absolute public opinion! This is their irrefutable righteousness. If public opinion supports it, is there anything left to talk about? How could His Majesty not support it?"
Li Yuanzhao secretly said: "You are so powerful, why don't you tell me, it will make me feel itchy."
"Don't worry, Your Highness will know it tomorrow."
...
The next day, outside the Meridian Gate.
The ministers gathered together, some were chatting in small numbers, and some were eating breakfast.
Fang Zheng spent an early morning together and arrived late in a sedan chair.
As soon as he got off the sedan, curious eyes focused on Fang Zhengyi.
Fangzheng stretched as if there was no one around and took a breath of fresh air.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, but it feels pretty good.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Fang Zheng put on a smile and waved his hand twice: "Long time no see, hello everyone!"
