The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2552 New Blood

During the peace talks and the suppression of the Miscellaneous School, the cabinet officials have been reforming under pressure.

During the most difficult period of Jingguo, the Ministry of Finance and Jingguo Qianhang were prepared, and a large number of officials from the Ministry of Revenue and related officials were diverted to these two departments. Nearly half of the key positions in these two departments were members of the Fang Party, and there were a few new faces.

There were even a few young people with low literary positions.

In order to deal with the departure of the Miscellaneous School scholars, Jingguo conferred many official scholars, official juren, official jinshi and official Hanlin.

The actual literary positions of these scholars ranged from Tongsheng to Jinshi. They were not well-known in Jingguo, but their family backgrounds were clean and they scored very high in the civil servant examinations. Therefore, they were granted official literary positions and could directly obtain higher official ranks.

Some particularly outstanding scholars, because they had strong abilities in some fields, were personally recruited by Fang Yun to his own command. In the name of replacing the Miscellaneous School scholars, they were placed in various government offices in Jingguo.

If Fang Yun did this at ordinary times, it would inevitably trigger a strong backlash from the various factions, but now, a large number of scholars from the Miscellaneous School have left each faction, and they cannot fill this hole themselves, so they have no energy and no excuse to oppose Fang Yun.

Fang Yun will be moderate when arranging personnel. In similar positions, he will never let his own people exceed half, and he will balance the personnel of each faction to avoid any one dominating.

The most important reason why these factions did not oppose is that they believe that Fang Yun is very likely to leave Jingguo because of the suppression of the Miscellaneous School. Instead of fighting with Fang Yun now, it is better to wait until the dust settles before taking action.

In the next few days, various gossips continued to circulate among the human race.

The Gongdian, Nongdian, Yidian and Xingdian constantly sent elders to negotiate with the Miscellaneous School, and the Zhandian also expressed that they did not want the Miscellaneous School to carry out the Holy Dao Town Seal.

The relationship between the various halls and pavilions is basically equal, and only the Dongsheng Pavilion has the greatest voice and can really stop the Miscellaneous School.

However, the Dongsheng Pavilion has long been occupied by scholars from the Miscellaneous School.

Therefore, some elders were ready to initiate a general meeting of the Holy Court, but they were forcibly rejected by the Eastern Holy Court, believing that it was the internal affairs of the Miscellaneous Family, and each family had no right to interfere, and at this time, the disputes of the Holy Dao should not be expanded.

Miscellaneous Confucian scholars and university scholars from all over the country gathered in Kongcheng.

This is an extremely dangerous signal, because if the Eastern Holy Court does not take action, it must rely on a large number of university scholars and Confucian scholars to initiate the Holy Dao Zhenfeng, which means that the Miscellaneous Family has made up its mind to severely punish Jingguo.

Ambitious people of the human race continued to go to Kongcheng and began to lobby the Miscellaneous Family, but the Miscellaneous Family was highly unified, and the Confucian scholars and university scholars who participated in the Holy Dao Zhenfeng had been isolated from the outside world, recuperating and waiting for the last opportunity.

Jingguo, an unprecedented scene appeared.

The grand court meeting that would not be held for several months or even a year was held on time in the Fengtian Hall at 7 o'clock every morning.

The officials in the court were divided.

One side insisted on forcing Fang Yun to negotiate peace, and if he did not go, he would impeach him and take away Fang Yun's position as the left prime minister.

One side believes that Fang Yun should not be forced to leave. Once Fang Yun leaves Jingguo, the loss to Jingguo will be no less than the loss caused by the Holy Dao.

The majority of officials do not want to force Fang Yun to leave. Although these people also have complaints about Fang Yun, they are very clear about the consequences of forcing Fang Yun away. They themselves have gained huge benefits from Fang Yun's war poems and innovations, and they are not from the Za family. Even if the Holy Dao is sealed, their own Holy Dao will not be affected.

These people have some not-so-bright ideas in their hearts, that is, if Fang Yun is driven away now, it will be difficult for them to get more benefits from Fang Yun in the future. The best example is that the Zong family and the Lei family cannot use Fang Yun's war poems.

Moreover, even if Jingguo is destroyed because of the punishment of the Za family, the Za family will not dare to touch Fang Yun even if they have ten thousand courages. Not to mention exile and expulsion, they can't even do confinement, and will not cause Fang Yun any substantial losses.

Since Fang Yun is still there, those who do not oppose Fang Yun can continue to befriend Fang Yun and gain benefits.

These people know very well that the benefits Fang Yun can give them are far more than Jingguo.

Many people realized that Fang Yun had already made the most terrible interest binding, but they were powerless to break it, so they could only bite the bullet and follow Fang Yun all the way to the end.

The two sides were deadlocked.

On the ninth day after the announcement of the Zajia family, when the Holy Dao Town would be sealed tomorrow, the Fengtian Palace was bright all night.

Today's court meeting lasted from morning to late at night. Jing Jun Zhao Yuan had gone to the palace to rest, the queen mother had occasionally dozed off, and the ministers were still arguing in the Fengtian Palace.

These days, Fang Yun did not come every day and continued to deepen the reform, and no one could do anything about him.

However, on the last day, Fang Yun still did not participate in the court meeting, which completely angered Fang Yun's opponents.

Seeing that the time had passed midnight and reached one o'clock in the morning, Sheng Boyuan finally made the final decision.

"If Fang Yun does not come to Fengtian Palace within an hour, I will resign and leave, and I will never step into Jingguo in this life!"

Sheng Boyuan's roar suppressed all the voices.

No one took his threat to resign seriously before, just as a means of struggle, but now, they realize that he really wants to quit.

The Queen Mother was still a little dazed, but she immediately woke up after hearing Sheng Boyuan's roar, and hurriedly said: "Why are you angry, Lord Sheng? This matter cannot be rushed. I will send someone to invite Fang Xusheng again."

After saying that, the Queen Mother's voice suddenly changed, and she said in a cold voice: "Zhang Poyue, go and invite Fang Yun. If you can't invite Fang Yun, go to the Ministry of War and be punished, and don't even think about getting promoted in the future."

Zhang Poyue was stunned and complained: "Queen Mother, aren't you bullying an honest man? How many people have gone to invite him, including Prime Minister Cao, Prime Minister Yang, Cai He, etc.? You should find someone else instead of tormenting an honest man like me. The wound I suffered in the battle of Ning'an has not healed yet."

"Don't think I don't know that you got a holy fruit from Fang Yun. Not only did you recover from your wound, but you also showed off everywhere... and got other benefits!" The Queen Mother's voice was a little strange.

The officials who knew about it laughed secretly, because since Zhang Poyue ate the holy fruit, his body has been strengthened in all aspects. He showed off everywhere, especially showing off one aspect. The whole city knew about it, and the soldiers in the army would make up stories and laugh at him behind his back.

"How can you take bragging seriously?"

"Then I will send people to announce tomorrow that what you said before was all bragging. In fact, you have another identity, a eunuch." The Queen Mother sneered.

Zhang Poyue was stunned, and the other officials were also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The Queen Mother was forced by Sheng Boyuan and Fang Yun to no choice but to let Zhang Poyue, a tough guy, to ask Fang Yun.

Although Zhang Poyue was known as a tough guy in the officialdom and was invulnerable to swords and guns, he dared to use those methods on the king, but it was not easy to use them on the Queen Mother.

"Okay, I'll go to Duoyuan."

Zhang Poyue was thinking about standing at the gate of Duoyuan for a while and then coming back, but the Queen Mother said: "I'll send someone to follow you and watch you negotiate with Fang Yun throughout the process."

Zhang Poyue rolled his eyes and thought that the Queen Mother was even tougher than himself.
