The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1062 Prince Ji Fang Yun

Even the scholars who usually support Fang Yun feel like they are in a dream.

He became a second-rank official right after the palace examination? The six ministers are only second-rank officials!

This is simply too unreal. Even if the saints of the human race have completed the palace examination, it is impossible for them to directly enter the second rank.

Zhang Poyue has worked hard until now, but he is only a former general of the second rank.

Before becoming a great scholar, Li Wenying was only a state court lord of the third rank because he was too young.

Even Liu Shan is a genius of a generation of miscellaneous schools. When he was in the second rank, he was already over 40 years old.

Fang Yun is not even 18 years old, but his official position is second only to the four prime ministers. What should other officials do?

"It's better to just hit his head and die." A head of the Ministry of War didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!"

All the officials of the left prime minister's party were silent.

The consequences of suppressing Fang Yun in the past finally appeared.

There are only a dozen or so second-rank positions in the civil service, literary academy and military of Jing State, and they are all occupied now, so it is impossible to vacate them for Fang Yun.

However, Fang Yun was given a nominal title of "Prince's Junior Tutor" first, which confirmed Fang Yun's identity as a second-rank official. As for what position Fang Yun held, there was no explanation in the imperial edict.

In addition to the title of Prince's Junior Tutor, Cao De'an announced that Fang Yun would be named "Ji Wang", not Zhenguo Wang as everyone had guessed before, but the status of a single-character king is higher than that of a double-character king.

In order to commend Fang Yun, the imperial edict gave Fang Yun an additional fiefdom.

One piece was Zhengde County, Xiangzhou, which Fang Yun chose before the palace examination, and the additional fiefdom was Ji County, his hometown.

When Cao De'an announced that Ji County was also Fang Yun's fiefdom, many people found it unbelievable.

One king and two fiefdoms, unprecedented in the Ten Kingdoms.

"What?" Ji Zhibai cried out softly, then quickly shut up and looked at his mentor Liu Shan in surprise.

Ji Zhibai's change made many people suspicious. They observed Liu Shan again and found that Liu Shan's expression changed again.

The scholars present immediately guessed that the imperial edict to give Fang Yun an extra piece of fiefdom was concealed from Liu Shan!

If it was when Liu Shan was in power, the Queen Mother's doing this would inevitably cause a backlash from all officials, but now, Fang Yun is in the limelight. If Liu Shan opposes at this time, he is very likely to be expelled from the court by the Queen Mother and Fang Yun and completely lose power.

Liu Shan cannot make any mistakes at this moment!

Many people looked at the Queen Mother and could not see her face clearly. Obviously, this second fiefdom is not just a reward, but more like making up for something. Fang Yun has suffered too much grievance.

Giving Fang Yun's hometown to Fang Yun as a fiefdom is not as simple as ordinary trust.

Ji Zhibai sat at the table blankly, with a look of pain on his face, then lowered his head and clenched his fists.

Some people looked at Ji Zhibai with a mocking look. In the face of such a level of trust, all the alienation plans were just like hitting a rock with an egg.

Today, everyone saw nothing but Ji Zhibai's incompetence and childishness.

A streak of blood flowed from the corner of Ji Zhibai's mouth. Even if he wiped it quickly, it was still discovered by those who were interested.

After Cao De'an announced the imperial edict, Fang Yun stepped forward and took the imperial edict.

Cao De'an said with a thunderous tongue: "After today, Fang Xusheng will travel in the sea of ​​learning, and then go to the Holy Academy to participate in the competition for the head of the country. After that, he will practice or study in the Holy Academy. When Fang Xusheng returns from his study, his specific position will be decided."

The left-handed prime minister's party breathed a sigh of relief. If Fang Yun really disregarded his future and became an official in the court, the left-handed prime minister's party would be in a state of panic.

Ji Zhibai wiped the corner of his mouth again. Fang Yun did not choose to be an official directly after the palace examination, which meant that Fang Yun did not value his official career. He was devoted to the holy way, so naturally he would not seek power and usurp the throne. His plan to alienate the emperor was shattered again.

Ji Zhibai finally couldn't help it. He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly. Blood kept flowing out from between his fingers.

Fang Yun glanced at Ji Zhibai with cold eyes.

If Ji Zhibai still had a literary talent, this level of blow would not be a big deal. But now Ji Zhibai's literary talent has almost completely collapsed. He can't bear what happened today. The problems of the literary talent and the palace will inevitably increase again.

Fang Yun was very satisfied with the title of Prince Ji. As for giving Ji County as his second fiefdom, he could no longer be described as satisfied.

In the future, there will be an additional Prince Ji's Mansion in Ji County.

The fiefdom is actually an independent kingdom of each king. Although the behavior in the fiefdom must follow the laws of Jingguo, in fact, as long as the prince's mansion does not commit a serious crime, the court will turn a blind eye.

Ji County and Zhengde County are both lower counties, far from being comparable to upper counties, but with Fang Yun here, there is no problem in developing into a large county or even a prefectural city.

After the imperial edict was read, there was a period of leisure, and people nearby came to toast and called him Prince Ji.

Fang Yun was a little dazed when he heard "Prince Ji" at first. He didn't expect that he would sit in this position so quickly.

For a country, a king of a different surname is already the highest status. Above that, only the monarch can be the king.

And the semi-saint has transcended the scope of a country. It is not a country that governs the semi-saint, but a semi-saint that governs a country.

Fang Yun couldn't help but think of the princes in the opera, and the princes in history. Compared with them, he was too young to reach this status.

However, Fang Yun did not feel that the process of becoming a king was easy. Many of the things he experienced were probably something that some princes would never encounter in their lifetime.

In front of the Fengtian Hall, Fang Yun was entertaining people with wine, but he was still thinking about other things.

Hearing the name Zhengde County again, Fang Yun couldn't help but think of that place.

After the Wenzhan Qing Kingdom won back Xiangzhou, Fang Yun got the opportunity to choose a fiefdom in Xiangzhou. At that time, Fang Yun didn't know what to choose, but the power left by Emperor Luo made him choose Zhengde County.

Fang Yun has been collecting information about Zhengde County in the past few days. Even though he has never been there, he knows more about it than any Zhengde people.

However, Fang Yun still can't find any clues and doesn't know why Emperor Luo's power chose it.

"Go and see it in person when you have time."

After another half an hour, the enthusiasm for congratulating Fang Yun on his title gradually faded.

All the senior officials toasted Fang Yun, except for the left prime minister Liu Shan who sat there motionless.

Some censors didn't drink a drop of wine and were staring at Liu Shan. If Liu Shan didn't toast after the banquet, they would definitely impeach him jointly.

Although Fang Yun was a virtual saint before, his official position in Jing Kingdom was not high enough. Others could make a fuss about this, but now they can't.

Fang Yun is now the King of Ji!

In the future, Fang Yun will stand in front of the left prime minister when he goes to court!

If Liu Shan didn't toast Fang Yun, it would be a violation of etiquette.

Time passed slowly, and finally, Liu Shan picked up the wine glass on the table, slowly stood up, and walked towards Fang Yun.

Fang Yun was still sitting on the chair, and didn't stand up until Liu Shan walked to his side.

The whole place was silent.

The whole palace fell into a deathly silence.

Fang Yun poured himself a drink, leisurely.

The young prince was still a little drowsy just now, but seeing this scene, he was so scared that he shrank into the arms of the queen mother, looking at Fang Yun and Liu Shan nervously.

Ji Zhibai gritted his teeth tightly, he didn't expect Fang Yun to humiliate his mentor like this!

Liu Shan stood beside Fang Yun for a long time before showing a very natural smile and said: "I haven't seen you for many days, Prince Ji is more elegant than before."

"Oh? It turned out to be Lord Liu." Fang Yun turned his head, took a closer look at Liu Shan, and slowly stood up.
