The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2554 Pretending to be sick

Black smoke rose from the vast territory of Jingguo, and the endless mountains and rivers were shrouded in darkness.

Without the holy way, the world is darkest.

All the black smoke and darkness slowly settled, and finally penetrated into the earth.

The land of Jingguo was three points darker than usual.

Everyone returned to normal, but then felt as if they had lost something, as if they had just woken up, their heads were a little empty, and their bodies were a little floating.

At this moment, Fang Yun relied on the power of the holy temple to look down on the world with his mind.

In the sky above Jingguo, a black jade seal that ordinary people could not see was suspended. It was a thousand feet high, like a giant mountain, with evil dragons tumbling above it and ghost symbols flashing below it.

The black jade seal was like a giant spider, releasing a black giant web that covered the entire sky of Jingguo.

The edge of the black giant web coincided with the border line of Jingguo. Those strange black forces not only continuously extracted the power of Jingguo, but also prevented the power from the outside from entering Jingguo.

Even the starlight of Wenquxing was weakened by 10%.

In Fang Yun's eyes, the entire Jing Kingdom seemed to have turned into a ghostland, and all the holy ways related to the Miscellaneous Family no longer existed.

However, right above the capital, there stood an object that ordinary people could not see.

The pure copper ancient sword, its name is Jing.

The shape of mountains and rivers, the sword of the state.

The sword of the state pointed to the black seal and slowly sank.

In three days at most, the sword of the state of Jing will be suppressed by the mighty power of the holy way of the Miscellaneous Family. Jing will no longer have the power to suppress the holy way of the Miscellaneous Family. By then, the court of Jing will have extremely serious problems.

Even now, all government offices in Jing have begun to have problems one after another.

All the clerks without ranks can no longer quickly understand the official documents. They need to read them repeatedly several times before they can understand the general meaning of the official documents.

All the clerks have forgotten many official data that they once remembered deeply, such as local residents, tax collection, and silver withdrawal.

Some officials indulged themselves instinctively, and the power to restrain them was reduced, so they could do whatever they wanted with their positions.

Those yamen runners no longer had a basic deterrent effect on the people, and were powerless in many aspects.

As time went on, the influence of the sagely way of the siege would affect all officials, even the cabinet and the royal family.

At that time, if the government decrees did not leave the Fengtian Palace, the most serious consequence might be that all places would become independent and the royal kings would start to rebel.

In the Fengtian Palace, the grand court meeting that had been held for a day and a night was still going on.

The queen mother sat on the dragon throne in a daze, frustrated.

All officials also felt the influence of the sagely way of the siege, and all kinds of thoughts arose in their hearts, many of which would never have existed before.

Without the restraint of the sagely way, anyone would be more indulgent.

After a long time, a man stepped in from the main gate of the Fengtian Palace.

"Fang Xusheng is here!" One person exclaimed.

Everyone looked hurriedly and saw Fang Yun, who was wearing a purple robe, actually stepped in instead of sitting in the Wuhou car.

What surprised all the officials was that Fang Yun's face was pale, his body was very weak, and his breath was extremely unstable before, but now, Fang Yun was full of energy and his face was ruddy. The breath of a great scholar was not only stable, but also had the momentum of raging fire and oil, which was extremely strong.

Fang Yun was obviously only a great scholar of the fourth realm, but his aura was already more than that of an ordinary fifth realm scholar.

In the perception of everyone's divine thoughts, Fang Yun was like an erupting volcano, with smoke and clouds pressing down the nine states and magma burning the four seas.

Everyone was stunned.

"You... are not pretending to be sick?" Zhang Poyue blurted out, saying all the officials' guesses.

"How is that possible? I took enough magic medicine and my body just recovered." Fang Yun answered seriously.

Fang Yun's purple robe fluttered as he walked, his black hair fluttered, and his eyes were like the sun and the moon.

Zhang Poyue curled his lips, not believing Fang Yun's words at all.

"You pretended to be sick, and no one can pretend to be sick better than you..." Zhang Poyue muttered in a low voice.

Fang Yun walked to the position of the head of all officials, bowed slightly, and said: "Please forgive me for being late because I am fully devoted to treating the disease."

"So many officials have left, why are you still here?" The Queen Mother's voice came from behind the curtain, full of indifference and resistance.

The officials were silent. This was the first time that the Queen Mother lost her composure in front of everyone, and it was also the first time that the Queen Mother targeted Fang Yun like this.

"The foundation of a country lies in the people; the root of a country lies in the officials. If you don't break it, you can't build it. If Jingguo wants to ride the wind and soar into the sky, you must have surgery to squeeze out the pus before you can heal. Otherwise, you will be covered with pus and there is no hope for you to die." Fang Yun smiled and restored his usual carefreeness.

The officials were shocked.

Fang Yun's words were too shocking, and contained incredible information.

Fang Yun was almost saying that he was using the hands of miscellaneous people to clean up those incompetent and even bad officials in the court of Jingguo. Only in this way can Jingguo become rich and strong, surpass other countries, and become the first powerful country.

Forcing those officials to leave is part of Fang Yun's reform!

Whether it is Zhang Poyue, who is known as a tough guy, or Cao De'an, who is known as a tumbler, whether it is the oldest Yang Xuwen, or this year's new champion, their eyes are all full of shock.

Until now, they don't believe that Fang Yun would actually want to do such a thing, and did it, and succeeded.

After the shock, all officials recalled the process of Fang Yun's reform and found a clear thread.

Fang Yun first relied on the technological progress of the industrialists and farmers to change the farmers and workers.

Then, Fang Yun borrowed the power of the Legalists to sweep away all kinds of ruffians and small families.

Afterwards, Fang Yun pointed his spearhead at the major families, even including the Saint Family.

Then, following the clues, Fang Yun would inevitably take action against the officials of the Panorama Kingdom.

But the human race was in turmoil, and Jingguo was trapped both internally and externally. If Fang Yun personally took action against the officials, it would inevitably be equivalent to challenging the entire bureaucratic system. Not to mention that he was only the left prime minister, even the emperors of all dynasties had never won.

Therefore, Fang Yun chose to borrow external forces to clean up the officialdom of Jingguo.

The Miscellaneous Family became the knife in Fang Yun's hand.

At this time, even if Fang Yun had already slashed the Jingguo bureaucrats hard, because the Saint Dao Town Seal had been issued, the matter was settled. Either force Fang Yun away, or continue to follow Fang Yun.

If the previous officials had not left, the Jingguo bureaucrats might have forced Fang Yun away together, but now, it was too late.

All the officials of the miscellaneous families have left, and the establishment of new departments in Jingguo has diluted the power of the original factions, allowing the Fang Party to increase significantly in both number and proportion.

The current Fang Party is already the undisputed first force in Jingguo, both in the local area and in the capital.

For a seriously ill Fang Yun, the various forces still have ways to deal with it, because no matter how much power Fang Yun has, he has fatal flaws and it is difficult for him to truly control Jingguo in the end.

That was just an illusion created by Fang Yun to paralyze them.

Now Fang Yun is the first scholar under Chen Sheng in Jingguo, not in status, but in strength!

Fang Yun still has a semi-saint treasure in his hand!

Fang Yun also has the dragon clan allies, the semi-saint Fu Yue, and the Nuzhi tribe!

After forcing so many officials away, Fang Yun has mastered the power that is above the Panorama Kingdom.

Now unless Chen Sheng takes action personally, no one in Jingguo can force Fang Yun away.

Even joining forces will not work.
