The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2503 Taking Responsibility

Wu Hanjiang said: "It is the duty of the censor to report something. If there is anything wrong, it is inevitable. If the censor is not allowed to make any mistakes, then just shut our mouths."

Fang Yun sneered and said: "After the reform of the Supervisory Yuan, it has been clearly stipulated that the censor should take the facts as the criterion. Playing after hearing the news only refers to the officials who had no real power in ancient times. In the past hundred years, the Supervisory Yuan in various countries has wielded great power. He has long been no longer a pure official, so why should Wu Shilang pretend to be confused? Now that the Supervisory Yuan has been able to investigate and arrest officials, if it only stays at the stage of reporting things, why is it still investigating? It can just arrest people! How did you, the left minister of the Supervisory Yuan, become the left minister when you don’t even know the basic regulations of the Supervisory Yuan? How do you perform your duties on a daily basis? If there is a problem in the remote Dingfu, let me, the left minister, take responsibility. As the Vice Minister of the Supervisory Yuan, you slandered and tried to get away with it? Who gave you the power to be so shameless? If you dare to participate in the show today, you must bear the responsibility!"

After listening to Fang Yun's words, many censors who originally supported Wu Hanjiang quietly changed their attitudes.

In those days, the censor had no real power, so he could participate in whatever he heard. Now, the censor has extremely powerful authority. He will not immediately participate in the performance after receiving the news. Instead, he will conduct an investigation and obtain enough evidence before participating. If the situation is urgent, we can even directly cooperate with relevant government agencies to arrest.

If the Control Yuan continues to listen to rumors and play things as it did in the past, and just join in on whatever they hear without asking, it would be tantamount to going backwards.

Wu Hanjiang was ashamed and angry. He had been an official for decades and had never been criticized like this in the court.

He couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Lord Zuo Xiang, as long as you dare to bear the responsibility for the rebellion in Dingfu, then my subordinates will also dare to bear the responsibility of participating in the performance."

Fang Yun snorted coldly and said: "Very good, you said it yourself! What I feel most chilling about is not your frame-up, but the fact that the spies in the demon world took advantage of the human race's reform period to cause chaos, but you caused internal strife for your own selfish interests. This is so chilling!”

Everyone was stunned. The point of this sentence was not Hanxin, but Fang Yun's determination of the chaos in Dingfu.

Wu Hanjiang's expression changed drastically.

Assistant Prime Minister Yang Xuwen hurriedly asked: "Fang Xusheng, have you ever verified the matter of Dingfu?"

Fang Yun said categorically: "When the Hall of Punishment, the Hall of Works, and the Hall of Agriculture were jointly reforming, the Dingfu was working together to fight against the three halls and the imperial court. They even secretly sent people to set fire to the city and massacre the people. No one except the spies from the demon world could do this." Such a outrageous thing happened!”

The officials looked at Fang Yun with chills running down their backs.

Especially those officials who impeached Fang Yun had already made all their efforts to launch an attack today. Unexpectedly, Fang Yun would take the lead and characterize the matter as a disturbance in the demon world.

Everyone present knew who was behind the Dingfu Rebellion, but no one could say it in public. However, Fang Yun actually directly affected the demon world, and the situation was a hundred times more serious than before.

Obviously, if the demon world caused trouble, Fang Yun would not bear any responsibility, so it would be difficult for Wu Hanjiang to say.

Sheng Boyuan asked tentatively: "Since Fang Xusheng said it was a spy from the demon world causing trouble, is there any evidence?"

Fang Yun said: "One of the investigators of the Palace of Punishments was burned to death. Who else could be so cruel except Xizuo from the Demon World? Who else could attack the people from the Palace of Punishments except Xizuo from the Demon World?"

The entire Jinluan Palace was silent.

Countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the officials.

Some people suspect that this is a trick of Xingdian, but if it is found out that Xingdian sent one of his own people to death, Dongsheng Pavilion will never give up. It will definitely punish Xingdian severely and use this as an excuse to interrupt the reform of Xingdian. This possibility Very small.

Then, the most likely thing is that the ordinary personnel of Xingdian died in the fire due to accident, and Xingdian and Fang Yun took the opportunity to attack.

The nature of people being burned to death in the execution hall was far more serious than hundreds of people being burned to death.

To put it lightly, it is contempt of the authority of the Palace of Punishment; to put it more seriously, it is equivalent to setting the Holy Court on fire!

All the officials present knew that the Dingfu rebellion was definitely the work of the major forces, mainly the Qing Kingdom. If there were no people who burned the death penalty hall, no matter how they investigated, they would have found a way to avoid it. At most, they would have found a scapegoat to kill and terminate the situation. All clues.

However, now that the people in the Palace of Punishment are dead, once the Palace of Punishment thinks that this matter is caused by spies from the demon world, the nature of the conflict will change from the internal conflict between the ten countries to the conflict between ourselves and the enemy. Once it is confirmed, let alone the great Confucian and wealthy families, let alone the king of a country. , even the Semi-Saint family will pay a huge price.

All the officials knew in their hearts that Xingdian had found a handle and excuse to force the major forces headed by Qingguo to give in. If the major forces continued to obstruct it, then Xingdian would definitely find out the mastermind at any cost.

Everyone couldn't help but think of the death of an ordinary old man Fang Yong a few days ago, which forced the head of the Chen Sheng family to change. Now that hundreds of people from the execution hall have died, what can Fang Yun not dare to do?

However, even if Xingdian and Fang Yun determine that the demon world is causing harm to the human race, things will not go so smoothly, because the matter must be jointly adjudicated by the Four Holy Pavilions. As expected, the existing evidence is not enough to prove that the demon world is responsible.

But this is not the point. The point is that since the Four Saints Pavilion believes that it is not the work of the demon world, it must find out who is behind it!

But now is the second war between the two realms. If the Four Saints Pavilion announces that it is the human race that is harming the human race, what will happen?

Therefore, if things really come to an end, it is possible that spies from the demon world may cause trouble.

Even if the conclusion is finalized, the Four Saints Pavilion must do everything possible to deal with this matter in a low-key manner and force the Three Palaces to negotiate with Qingguo and other forces.

In this matter, the three halls and Fang Yun have all three aspects of reason, justice and justice. If the forces of Qingguo and others do not pay a price, they will never get out of this unscathed.

In fact, if the forces of Qingguo and others are determined not to compromise, it will not only cause civil strife in the Holy Academy, but may even cause the Four Holy Pavilions to split first.

After all, the East Holy Pavilion must favor Qingguo, and the other three Holy Pavilions will never allow the East Holy Pavilion to protect Qingguo.

Everyone then understood why Fang Yun had been handling various matters according to the normal procedures yesterday, without any signs of the sky falling. It turned out that he had already made a decision with the Criminal Hall.

Fang Yun said slowly: "The officials of Dingfu just resigned, and that night, spies from the demon world caused trouble for the human race. It is very suspicious. The Criminal Hall has joined hands with the War Hall to launch a large-scale arrest in Dingfu and arrest all the officials who resigned in Dingfu."

The officials took a breath.

Wu Hanjiang looked pale.

The War Hall has always been outward-looking and not internal. Since the Criminal Hall has dispatched the War Hall, the development of the matter has nothing to do with every official present. It is the business of the gods.

The Four Saints Pavilions have not made a firm decision. The War Hall has listened to the one-sided statement of the Criminal Hall and went out. Although it is only to assist in the investigation and arrest rather than to kill, it also shows that the War Hall favors Fang Yun and the Third Hall in this matter.

The reason is simple. The War Hall is now focusing most of its energy on the Two Realms Mountain. Their people are fighting to protect the Shengyuan Continent. The demon world did not attack, and the human race hurt their own people. With the temperament of the violent military scholars in the War Hall, it is enough to restrain themselves if they did not rush to Qing Jun and slap him a few times.

What's more, the Three Halls include the Work Hall, and the Work Hall is supplying a large number of war machines to the War Hall. The War Hall must consider the attitude of the Work Hall.
