The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"I have heard about the use of this exemption order. Not only can it resist the recruitment of the Holy Court, but it can even be exempted from sin. As long as it is not a crime of rebellion or too dehumanizing, it can avoid death, and at most it will only be imprisoned. It is said that every time there is an appearance in various countries, A king, a saint The court only issues three exemption orders. Once the king dies, the old exemption order will become invalid. In addition, the exemption order is still a powerful pass. If I get this exemption order before betting with the saints, I can ignore the Xun family. Accused, go directly to the Holy Court to escape!"

"So you know, that's good." Sai Shilang said.

"I really didn't expect that the Queen Mother would be willing to give me the exemption order to protect the safety of the royal family. This is such a great kindness that I cannot repay it."

Mr. Sai sighed softly and said: "When the Queen Mother and the eldest princess handed over the exemption order to me, the Queen Mother once said that if Jingguo didn't even protect your luck, then there would be no need for Jingguo to exist. The Queen Mother also said that after learning that the Xun family prevented you from entering the Holy Academy, she wanted to grant you the exemption order, but who would have thought that you would go to Wendou Yizhou, which was unexpected. "

Fang Yun was in awe, both for the Queen Mother's help and for her decisiveness.

Fang Yun said: "The late emperor had no queen and died at the age of twenty-nine. Before his death, he adopted King Anyue. The queen mother is one year younger than the late emperor and is only twenty-eight years old. How could she be so extraordinary? Are the rumors true? In the past few years, it was actually the Queen Mother who was helping the late Emperor handle government affairs? "

A strange look flashed in the eyes of Mr. Sai, and he nodded quickly: "Although as a minister, you should not make irresponsible remarks on your Majesty, but it may be helpful to know more about it. You are right, as early as ten years ago, the Queen Mother had assisted The late emperor took over completely four years ago, but after all, it is a woman and a harem, otherwise the left prime minister would not be where he is today. "

Fang Yun noticed something strange in Mr. Sai's eyes and realized that he had been negligent. He did not have a close relationship with Mr. Sai, and it was inappropriate to talk about the Queen Mother's personal affairs. However, Mr. Sai decisively told the truth. He obviously wanted to make friends, so he made a mistake. Something bad turns out to be good.

Since both the Queen Mother and Zhao Hongzhuang trusted Sai Shilang, and they were fellow townsmen and partisans with themselves, with this branding established, even if Sai Shilang now defected to the Left Prime Minister, the Left Prime Minister would not be able to believe him. It can be said that the two people have a natural cooperative relationship. , What's more, the official reputation of Sai Shilang is very good, and he is not the same as Zuo Xiang.

Fang Yun still remembers chatting with his colleagues from the Lishan Society of the Prefecture Literary Academy about the former leader of the society. Sai Shilang did not aspire to be an official, he aspired to become a Confucian scholar, and officialdom was just a training ground before he became a Confucian scholar.

There are many secrets about the Jingguo royal family, especially the death of the late emperor, but Fang Yun did not ask further and said: "Please tell the Queen Mother for me, what Fang Yun did was just an obligation as a Jingguo person, not to help the royal family. Since The Queen Mother has shown such kindness, and Fang Yun will definitely reciprocate it if she has the opportunity."

Sai Shilang smiled and said: "The Queen Mother certainly knows things well. She said you will definitely say this, let me tell you, there is no need to repay you. Even if she gives ten times more generous gifts, she will not be able to repay you. Everything you have done for Jingguo, The Queen Mother sees it all.”

Fang Yun felt warm in his heart and felt a little sore in his nose. The Queen Mother's words were the same as those of the simple Yuhai City people. Although they didn't cheer for themselves every day, they were always thinking about themselves.

Fang Yun was dissatisfied with being made things difficult for him by Prime Minister Zuo before, but now he finally understood that the Queen Mother had been silently helping him, but her power was limited. But once he fell into a certain death situation, the Queen Mother immediately sent him an exemption order.

Fang Yun was moved in his heart and said: "The real problem for the Queen Mother is the person after the Left Prime Minister, right?"

Mr. Sai nodded silently.

Fang Yun's expectation was good. These senior officials had already understood the relationship between Zuo Xiang and the Za family. If it weren't for the deep relationship between Zuo Xiang and the Za family and the Queen Mother's decisiveness, it would have been impossible for Zuo Xiang to continue to stay in the court.

"I will keep the exemption order. No matter what, please thank the Queen Mother for me." Fang Yun said.

But Mr. Sai smiled and said: "The Queen Mother said that if you want to thank me, you can go to Ci'an Palace to express your gratitude."

Fang Yun nodded.

"Come on, let's get off the bus."

Fang Yun and Mr. Sai got out of the car one after another, and then a group of officials chatted for a while. Magistrate Dong received Mr. Sai, and Fang Yun and some officials led the escort of the rewarder home.

After arriving home, the whole family got busy. There were too many things for six cars.

A cart of gold and silver jewelry and powder, a cart of silk and satin, a cart of supplements and medicinal materials, a cart of the four treasures of the study, a cart of miscellaneous books that are hard to buy, and the last cart is the top treasure.

Fang Yun had read a lot of miscellaneous books and had the inheritance of ancient demons. He knew how to identify many things. He randomly picked a few items and looked at them. They were all of good quality and could not find any faults at all. Ninety percent of the items here can be stored for a long time, and no special conditions are required. There are only a few medicinal materials that need to be used as soon as possible, and they are all suitable for you.

What concerned Fang Yun the most was the cart of miscellaneous books. He flipped through them and found out just by looking at the titles that they were impossible to buy, and some were even banned.

Fang Yun looked at the dazzling array of tributes and books on the six carts, and finally understood what it means to be royal and wealthy.

Fang Yun carefully inspected the treasures on the last cart and opened a jade box. Inside was a large ginseng that was as long as an arm. There was some soil on it. Unlike ordinary ginseng, the roots of this ginseng were all blood red. .

"Sure enough, it is the best ginseng from the demon world. Only the royal family can enjoy it in the demon world. Slice these ginseng and stew it in soup, which is enough for one person for ten years. It will ensure good health and no fear of any disease in the next ten years. At the same time, it can extend one year's life. "

Fang Yun looked at the Dragon Breath Turtle Gum again. At first glance, it looked like a black mass.

"So dirty." Yang Yuhuan said softly.

Fang Yun smiled and said, "The power of the breathing of the real dragons can form an undercurrent like a long river at the bottom of the sea. A few demon turtles live in it, and their shells absorb the power of the real dragons. After a hundred years, these turtle shells can be boiled into dragon breath turtle glue, which is a favorite of the dragon clan. However, Yuhuan, you must remember the Queen Mother's kindness. This is completely prepared for you."

"Is it good for me?" Yang Yuhuan asked.

"Of course. When the time comes, I will teach you how to make dragon breath turtle glue. Within seven days, all the scars on your body will disappear, and your hands will become more delicate."

"Really?" Yang Yuhuan was surprised and happy, her eyes shining.

"Of course. Don't worry, take your time. And the long-bright pearl is a special night-bright pearl. Hang it on your bedside to nourish you at all times."

Fang Yun thought that the Queen Mother had spent a lot of effort on these gifts.

There are too many things. Fang Yun didn't have time to record and compare them one by one. After dealing with the most precious things, he went back to the study to study.

At night, Fang Yun went to participate in the welcoming banquet for Sai Hanlin.

After returning home, Fang Yun continued to study.

For four consecutive days, Fang Yun wrote ten policy essays every day.

Last night, Dong Zhifu finished his final guidance and comments, suggested Fang Yun to relax, and left a sentence "If the world only tests one policy essay, you must be the first champion of the ten countries" and left the Fang family, no longer testing and guiding Fang Yun.

At noon on August 28, Fang Yun was taking a lunch break when he received an urgent letter from Zeng Yuan.

"The demon saints accept the bet! The snake envoy of the demon world has arrived and is heading to the Yuhai Mansion's Fuwen Academy. The dragon envoy is also about to arrive."
