Lu Boxuan concealed his uneasiness and said naturally: "Master Qi is right, the imperial court does use talents. Although on the surface it claims to make the best use of talents, in fact it is based on needs and selecting the best. Even if they are The Golden Palace's recommendation for Jinshi is nothing more than this."
Qi Yu Gujing Wubo just smiled lightly and said: "Master Lu is really a wise man, and he got to the core with just one sentence."
What he said was obviously not what he meant, and it quite meant that he meant one thing with his words and another in his heart.
Isn't this the case for Lu Boxuan?
Just then, he suddenly realized that the conversation was directed at him, so he took advantage of the situation and shifted the blame, transferring all the negative image to the court.
Qi Yu, on the other hand, saw through it but didn't say anything, and just responded with a compliment. This did not hurt the other person's feelings, but also gave the other party a setback.
However, he did not change the topic, but continued the discussion just now.
Qi Yu suddenly changed his voice and said: "It doesn't matter whether your talent is high or low. Whether the talent is beneficial to this country and our nation is the real core."
Um?
How do you feel... the style of painting has changed a bit?
It can be heard that Qi Yu's lofty speech is not over yet, and there is still more to say.
Lu Boxuan was wary, but his face was calm as he said: "Then... according to Master Qi, how should talents be selected and used?"
Qi Yu stroked his beard and smiled: "Selecting talents and appointing them is not complicated. The general situation can be summarized in one sentence, that is, morality is the only criterion for measuring it."
"Morality?"
"That's right! Talented people, no matter how big or small, high or low, have their corresponding uses, but the results are different.
. Those who do evil harm the world, those who do good save all sentient beings, those who do benevolent benefit the world, and those who do evil deceive others. Therefore, Qi believes that character must come first when selecting talents, followed by ability. "
Lu Boxuan smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Master Qi's idea is too idealistic. We are all ordinary people, how can we all serve the world for the common good?"
Qi Yu immediately argued: "There is a saying in Yasheng. If you are poor, you can be good for yourself. If you are rich, you can help the world. Only in this way can you be worthy of being a seven-foot husband. If everyone is for himself, and everyone is self-serving for the public, how can the country and the nation be strong? Especially? Those who hold high positions must have a heart of concern for the country and the people, and an awe-inspiring spirit of justice. Only in this way can we live up to the expectations of the people and live up to what we have learned."
He said someone in a high position?
Could it be that he was alluding to...the position of chief assistant that he was vying for?
Lu Boxuan is an experienced man and has extensive knowledge. He figured out the gist of what he said after a little thought.
In addition, he also read the hidden meaning, Qi Yu said that high positions should be occupied by virtuous people and not by those seeking fame and reputation. What he meant was self-evident.
Thinking of this, Lu Boxuan's face immediately darkened.
In fact, Qi Yu originally wanted to advise him not to form cliques for personal gain, but to behave upright. Otherwise, even if you reach a high position in the country, you will not be able to achieve political achievements.
The chief minister of the cabinet is extraordinary. He is in charge of political affairs. Without a broad mind and a sense of righteousness, it is impossible to lead the political arena. It may even hinder the development of the country.
Based on the above principles, Qi Yu cryptically advised: "The person at the helm should not only be capable, but also wise. It is difficult to achieve great things without both virtue and talent. Confucius said: If you don't cultivate virtue, learn it.
If you don't speak, you won't be able to move after hearing the righteousness, and you won't be able to correct your bad deeds. This is my worry. "
After hearing this, Lu Boxuan frowned and said with displeasure, "Is Mr. Qi trying to warn me?"
Qi Yu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Don't you dare, Master Lu said something serious. Qi was once a civil servant under your jurisdiction, and can be regarded as a half-student of the imperial examination. With such a friendship, how could Qi dare to warn you?"
However, as soon as his words changed, he continued: "However, this matter is related to the destiny of the country, and I dare not abandon public affairs for personal reasons. Therefore, I have to say what needs to be said. If there is any unintentional offense, please forgive me."
Lu Boxuan smiled coldly when he heard this and said: "Who can predict the future? Shaobao's theory is too speculative. In my humble opinion, let's wait and see!"
The implication is that there is no need to talk about this matter again.
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Qi Yu had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. If he continued to argue, it would inevitably hurt the harmony.
Alas, enough is enough.
Not surprisingly, the banquet ended unhappy.
Before leaving, Lu Boxuan only symbolically read out the imperial edict regarding the Zhou family. After finishing the matter, he returned to the capital overnight.
Qi Yu had already talked about this, and he was really embarrassed to stay any longer. Rather than wasting time here, it would be better to return to the capital to do some work.
After getting up, he suddenly realized that he had not asked an important question: When did he, Mr. Qi, go to invite Ding You?
When we met, we were busy arguing and arguing. How could we forget about the real thing?
Could it be that... Qi Yu deliberately stirred up the atmosphere to disrupt his normal thinking?
If you think about it carefully, this is really a possibility. I think back then, wasn't he the one who built the plank road openly and secretly visited Chencang?
Did this method win the battle to defend the capital? It can be seen from this that his city is not generally deep.
In fact, he guessed pretty well.
Qi Dalang did deliberately avoid sensitive topics. Regarding inviting Ding You, he could delay it for as long as one day. At the very least, we have to wait until Li Hongyu returns to court.
Time passed quickly, and Zhou's Five-Seven passed by in a flash.
The funeral has come to an end, and it's time to make some arrangements for future plans.
To observe filial piety and visit the grave, it is enough for one person to have the same reputation. There is really no need to tie the whole family to their hometown. Especially Qi Xiao, he should return to Qiongzhou as soon as possible to carry out his scientific research work. In addition, there is Qi Xiaotong. It is time for her to return to Dahua to handle government affairs.
The dead are gone, but the living must continue to live.
After discussion, Liu Quan, Yin Tao and Yuhuan Yuchi all stayed in Yongchuan, and the others left separately.
Huang Fei thought about it and decided to stay and wait for orders, while also protecting the safety of Qi's family. Qiongzhou's business is managed by his wife Qianhe, so there is no need to worry.
However, on the third day after the group set out, unpleasant news came.
According to Malay News, an official newspaper in the capital suddenly published an article condemning Qi Yu, accusing him of censoring his rights and not observing his filial piety, and that he was in vain as a young protector of the country.
Yes, when a loving mother is mourning, shouldn’t we make grass for the house and observe mourning for three years?
To put it bluntly, he was criticizing him for not inviting Ding You.
Qi Yu looked at the newspaper and murmured to himself: "This move must have been done by Mr. Lu. It seems that he is determined to compete with me."
"Is it... Mr. Lu?" Liu Quan and Yin Tao looked at each other and asked.
Qi looked surprised.
