The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1646 Dispute in Court

Fang Yun stood at the head of the officials, glanced at the civil and military officials present, and was filled with emotions.

Ever since I went to Chongwen Academy to study, I haven't been to Jingguo again. It's been more than two years.

In the past two years, not only himself, but also the officials of Jingguo have changed a lot.

At that time, among the official officials of Jingguo, only Literary Minister Jiang Hechuan and Jiangzhou Yuanjun Li Wenying were great Confucian scholars. Now, Right Chancellor Cao De'an has been promoted to Great Confucianism.

Although this Cao De'an never had a direct conflict with the left prime minister, he was a real veteran of the three dynasties of Jingguo. He always protected the royal family of Jingguo openly and secretly. Although some people mocked him as the "Clay Right Chancellor Cao", everyone who cared about it knew that if it weren't for He, the left prime minister, had already brought most of the officials of Jingguo into his hands.

Even after being promoted to a great scholar, Cao De'an remained as before and did not become domineering just because he put on the purple robe.

In addition to Cao De'an, General Zhou Junhu has also been promoted to a great scholar. However, Zhou Junhu has not yet gone to court and is consolidating his status as a great scholar.

The beggar uncle Zhao Jingkong was different from the two of them. After being promoted to a great scholar, he made the same choice as Li Wenying. After consolidating his realm a little, he went to the ancient land to hone himself and serve the human race.

Cao De'an and Zhou Junhu used the excuse that Jingguo was unstable and wanted to assist in government affairs, so they delayed leaving Jingguo to practice, but they could only wait for three years at most. After three years, unless Jingguo was in danger, they had to choose an ancient place to hone their skills.

This is the rule of the human race.

The human race can support countless scholars who like to be happy. Even a great scholar can play games for a lifetime, but he will never allow any great scholar to waste his life.

The top two officials, besides Fang Yun, are Literary Minister Jiang Hechuan and Right Minister Cao De'an, and then Left Minister Liu Shan and Assistant Minister Si Yueqing.

Liu Shan and Si Yueqing were both bachelors, but neither had been promoted to a Confucian scholar.

Many people believe that the reason why Liu Shan was reluctant to be promoted to a great scholar was because he was afraid that he would be forced to hand over his position as left prime minister after being promoted to a great scholar.

As for Si Yueqing, many people can't figure it out. This person is the right-hand man of the Left Prime Minister. If he can be promoted to a great scholar, even if he leaves the position of Assistant Prime Minister, it will be good for Liu Shan. However, Si Yueqing's talent is far less than Liu Shan. If he can be promoted to A great scholar, he will never miss the position of assistant prime minister.

Once you are promoted to a great scholar, you will definitely be able to enter the official history, and your own and future generations' treatment will be greatly improved.

In the end, some people came to the conclusion that even if Wenquxing was split, Si Yueqing did not have the ability to be promoted to a great scholar.

This rumor greatly damaged Si Yueqing's prestige, causing him to remain reclusive and low-key after getting angry.

Not long ago, Jingguo officials discovered a very strange phenomenon. Those officials who were promoted first after the Wenqu star split were almost all officials who supported Jingguo and the Jingguo royal family. On the contrary, only a few people from the Liushan Party were promoted. And none of them are core members of the leftist party.

Fang Yun continued to scan other officials.

Mao Enzheng, the Minister of Rites, was promoted to a bachelor, and Yang Zijiang, the imperial physician, was promoted to a bachelor. Hu Yucheng, the former pastor of Mizhou, served as the master of the academy...

Compared with those years ago, there was not only one more scholar, but also seven more bachelors among the officials in the court. Except for one person who had connections with the Left Chancellor Party, the other six were all staunch anti-Liu Shan people.

If we include outside the capital and among the people, even if we do not count the semi-sage families in Jingguo, the number of bachelors in Jingguo has increased by thirty-four in more than two years. As for the number of academicians who have increased by hundreds, it is already difficult to count.

Fang Yun had a faint smile on his face, and there were some slight ups and downs in his heart.

These people are the backbone of Jingguo.

The leftist party members did not dare to look at Fang Yun. When they saw Fang Yun looking at them, they immediately lowered their heads, either because they were afraid or because they had something wrong with them.

At this moment, Fang Yun could better understand what Cai He had written to him. If Liu Shan hadn't been the executor of Zong Sheng, if Chen Sheng hadn't been about to die, and if Qing State had a great chance of embezzling Jing State, Liu Shan would have The party was kicked out long ago.

When the time comes, everyone goes to court.

While walking, Fang Yun clearly felt that the Liushan Party's momentum was completely suppressed by the hostile officials.

At the beginning of the dynasty, all the officials bowed to pay homage to the king and the queen mother. Even the great scholars Jiang Hechuan and Cao De'an also bowed, but Fang Yun stood upright and remained motionless.

After everyone had paid their respects, Fang Yun bowed alone. Fang Yun was Xusheng and a minister of Jingguo. He could bow or not, but Fang Yun chose the former.

The moment Fang bowed, the queen mother behind the curtain hurriedly reached out and took the little king's hand and stood up, and then went back to worship Fang Yun with the little king.

After Fang Yuan bowed, he smiled and said, "The Queen Mother and the King are polite."

"King Ji is a Xusheng of the human race. The Ai family and the monarch cannot accept such a great gift. Come, please get soft chairs for Fang Xusheng, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Cao."

Later, the palace attendants brought three chairs for Fang Yun, Jiang Hechuan and Cao De'an to sit down.

"Fang Xusheng has returned from cultivating and was promoted to a bachelor. The whole country should have celebrated, but Fang Xusheng doesn't like red tape..."

The Queen Mother first said some polite words, and then issued an imperial edict, appointing Fang Yun as governor of Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou to take charge of the civil servants and the liberal arts academy of the two states.

Fang Yun first declined, but the Queen Mother persuaded him. After three resignations, he accepted the appointment as governor of the two states.

Today's court meeting was originally prepared for Fang Yun. After the governor-general affairs of the two states were over, the small monarch would announce his withdrawal from the court. However, during this gap, Si Yueqing, the assistant prime minister, suddenly stepped forward, holding a wat board, and greeted the monarch and the queen mother. He bowed and said, "I have something to report to you."

The young king opened his mouth, was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth and turned to look at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother said pleasantly: "What does Si Aiqing want to report?"

"I think that before Fang Xusheng takes office as the governor of the two states, he should explain to all officials of Jingguo how he killed Lei Chongmo, the head of the Lei family. Otherwise, people from all countries will think that Jingguo is lawless and can kill the head of the Lei family at will. I think that a person who wantonly attacked and killed the head of the Xusheng family, even if he is Xusheng, should not be the governor of the two states. What's more, Fang Xusheng has a precedent of bloodlust in Ning'an County, so we must be on guard."

As soon as Si Yueqing finished speaking, another official from the Zuo Xiang party stepped forward and said, "I second the proposal. If this matter is not investigated, Jingguo will promote a murderer to the governor of the two states, which will be difficult to stop the world's gossip."

"Please think twice, King and Queen Mother!"

Officials left their original positions one after another. Finally, except for Liu Shan who was motionless and seemed to be dozing, all officials from the Zuo Xiang party left.

There were 63 officials attending the court today, and 22 of them stood up at this moment.

Fang Yun just glanced at everyone, his expression unchanged, and he said nothing. In his heart, he thought that the Left Prime Minister Party had experienced many attacks, and now it still occupied nearly one-third of the power in the court. It can be seen how terrible Liu Shan is.

Fang Yun did not need to speak, and the Minister of Rites Mao Enzheng stepped forward.

"I object. There is the Holy Court above, the Lei family below, the Criminal Palace inside, and the Four Seas Dragon Palace outside. They can all handle this matter. My Jingguo should wait until the dust settles before responding."

Then another person came out and said, "What Minister Mao said is very true. This matter involves a wide range of people. The Holy Court is already discussing the formation of a joint investigation agency. I think it is not appropriate for Jingguo to intervene."

The anti-Left Prime Minister Party members stood up one after another, and the Golden Palace suddenly quarreled.

Fang Yun closed his eyes and rested his mind as if his colleagues had nothing to do with him.
