The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2560 Queen Mother

"You are going to force me and the king to death!" the Queen Mother said sternly.

Fang Yun's mouth suddenly showed an unfathomable arc, as if smiling, staring at the Queen Mother, his eyes as dark as the abyss.

"Queen Mother, am I Fang Yun afraid of being called a regicide?"

Fang Yun raised his head slightly and looked at the Queen Mother who was high up, but it seemed as if she was looking down at him.

The conference hall turned into an ice cave in an instant.

The Queen Mother's whole body was stiff, and she felt that every part of her body was emitting cold air, and she might be frozen to death at any time.

The officials also looked at Fang Yun in disbelief, and they didn't expect Fang Yun to say such a thing.

Gao Mo actually showed a bright smile.

He liked Fang Yun at this time.

Cao De'an looked at Fang Yun, and even showed jealousy in his eyes.

He wanted to do this, but he never dared.

The members of the Fang Party looked at Fang Yun, and indescribable emotions surged in their hearts.

Following such a Fang Yun, I will never regret it!

For Jingguo, for innovation, regicide is nothing!

Liu Shan can kill the king, so why can Fang Yun, who overthrows Liu Shan, the ruler, by himself, not dare to do so!

The queen mother was speechless, she was angry, afraid, regretful, and hateful.

"From the beginning to the end, you are forcing me." Fang Yun sighed softly.

How could the queen mother not know?

In the eyes of the queen mother, the Zhao family is more important than anything else, and the king is more important than anything else.

But in Fang Yun's eyes, Jingguo is more important than anything else, and the human race is more important than anything else.

This is the fundamental contradiction between the two people.

"Please, don't force me to hurt my students." Fang Yun's eyes were gentle, with a kind smile on his face.

Fang Yun didn't care about the king, but he cared about the crying student on his back.

After a long time, the queen mother raised her head and asked, "Then aren't you afraid that he will hate you in the future?"

"There are many people who hate me, and he can't get in line."

Fang Yun smiled freely, and he really didn't care at all.

The officials thought about it and realized that Fang Yun was really telling the truth. There were hundreds of semi-saints in the demon world alone who were lining up to hate Fang Yun, not to mention other major forces. The king of a country was really nothing.

The queen mother stood up and walked out slowly. Everyone thought she would leave, but she walked in front of Fang Yun, knelt on her knees, and burst into tears.

"Please, Saint Fang Xu, leave us a way to live..."

The officials were stunned and a little confused.

Soon, many officials showed a look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The queen mother was really powerful. She knew that the hard way would not work, so she did the opposite and used the soft way.

Everyone thought carefully and realized that this trick might really work, because Fang Yun was different from Liu Shan. Liu Shan was poisonous, while Fang Yun was cruel, but not poisonous.

Fang Yun was helpless and almost rolled his eyes. He could only say: "Please ask the Queen Mother to stand up and speak."

"If Fang Xusheng does not agree, I will kneel down and not get up."

After saying that, the Queen Mother knelt forward and stretched out her hands to hug Fang Yun's thighs.

All the officials rolled their eyes. They did not expect that the Queen Mother would disregard everything for the royal family and even changed her name. If this matter were to be spread out, not only would the royal family lose face, but Fang Yun would also not have a good reputation.

Some officials who had good relationships looked at each other and shook their heads gently, indicating that they were helpless.

Dealing with women is a thousand times more difficult than governing a country.

Fang Yun stood there awkwardly. There was a difference between men and women, and between the monarch and his subjects. He could not help the Queen Mother, so he had to call the guards and eunuchs outside the meeting room. After those guards and eunuchs came in, they not only did not dare to help the Queen Mother, but also turned sideways to cover their faces to avoid seeing the Queen Mother hugging Fang Yun's thighs.

Some officials actually laughed secretly. If this scene was spread out, there would definitely be people who would make up all kinds of scandals.

Fang Yun had no choice but to wave his hand and let them go.

Fang Yun coughed lightly and said, "Queen Mother, the situation is urgent. We must complete the constitutional system tomorrow, otherwise, under the holy doctrine of the various schools, Jingguo will be in chaos."

"I am just a woman, I don't understand any great principles, I only know to protect my son Zhao Yuan, and I don't care about anything else."

Fang Yun wanted to say that Zhao Yuan was not your biological son, but he couldn't say it.

Fang Yun stood there, in a dilemma.

Fang Yun actually respected the Queen Mother very much. After all, when the Queen Mother married the late emperor, the late emperor had been poisoned and was unable to walk. He was unable to perform the ritual of human relations and died not long after.

After that, she changed from queen to queen mother, and her situation became more difficult, especially under the suppression of major forces such as Liushan and King Kang, which was thrilling.

In a sense, the dangers experienced by the Queen Mother were no less than Fang Yun.

If the Queen Mother really tore her face completely and forced Fang Yun away or even killed him at all costs, Fang Yun would decisively kill him.

Even Fang Yun had already prepared to stain his hands with the emperor's blood.

However, after the queen mother knelt like this, Fang Yun was not in a position to kill.

Fang Yun has never been a heartless and ungrateful person.

Fang Yun sighed helplessly and had to use the plan he had prepared long ago, saying: "The cabinet can appoint a minister of etiquette."

The queen mother stopped crying, but still lowered her head and hugged Fang Yun's legs tightly.

Fang Yun continued to explain: "The king will take over the position of the minister of etiquette."

When the officials heard this, their reactions were almost clear.

The legalist official frowned, showing a very reluctant look, and looked at the queen mother with great disgust.

The other officials showed joy and nodded frequently.

As the son of heaven, the king is in charge of the etiquette of the world, and it is legitimate for him to serve as the minister of etiquette.

And adding a minister of etiquette to the cabinet is also reasonable, and it can also win over the etiquette hall and even Confucianism, and prevent Jingguo from being attacked from all sides.

In fact, the officials had expected that if the previous constitution was passed, many Confucian scholars would certainly accuse Fang Yun and Jingguo of having no monarch and no father, breaking the Three Bonds and reversing the Five Constant Virtues. But now, letting the monarch concurrently serve as the prime minister would kill two birds with one stone.

After concurrently serving as the prime minister, the monarch's power is still very small, but each cabinet minister has a veto power, which actually gives the monarch a certain amount of power.

It seems to be indulgent to the monarch, and it seems that Fang Yun compromised and retreated, but if you look at it from another angle, it is just the opposite.

The cabinet ministers have the same status as the monarch!

Once the monarch becomes one of the ceremonial ministers and enters the cabinet, many things must consider the reactions of the cabinet ministers. Instead, he will not abuse the veto power, but will only use the veto power to fight for his own interests at important moments.

Many officials recalled Fang Yun's "Political History" and found that the ethnic groups recorded in it did have similar political systems, but not exactly the same, but it was the best choice that Jingguo could make at present.

Innovation can destroy and subvert, but politics must master compromise and balance.

The Queen Mother still held Fang Yun's legs.

Some officials were a little annoyed. Fang Yun had compromised so much, but the Queen Mother was still so ignorant.

Fang Yun was about to speak, but the Queen Mother said, "I have one last request."

"Tell me." Fang Yun said expressionlessly.

"Please ask Fang Xusheng to teach in the palace for three months, teach Yuan'er to study seriously, and cultivate him into a talent. If Yuan'er can't become a talent, I will not be able to see the late emperor." The Queen Mother said.

Fang Yun looked embarrassed and said, "I handle state affairs in the cabinet every day, and I can only go home at night. I can't teach during the day."

"It doesn't matter. You handle government affairs in the cabinet during the day, and the palace will send a carriage to pick you up at night. After teaching Yuan'er, you can sleep in the palace and go to the cabinet the next day. It's more convenient than living in Duoyuan." The Queen Mother said.
