The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 656: Court Meeting

Fang Yun thought that the Queen Mother's voice would be full of majesty or old-fashioned, but he didn't expect that the Queen Mother's voice was crisp and pleasant, no different from that of an ordinary woman in her twenties.

The Queen Mother's words were just polite words, and Fang Yun waited for the next palace examination and court discussion.

"I have something to report." Then someone suddenly said loudly.

Fang Yun sounded familiar, and looked in the direction of the voice. It was Tong Luan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

Rumor has it that although the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War has an old relationship with the left prime minister, they have a mediocre relationship. After his grandson Tong Li and Fang Yun failed in the bet on breaking the literary courage, he tried to enter Yuhai City to question Fang Yun but was blocked by Li Wenying. Afterwards, he defected to the left prime minister and became the highest-ranking person in the Ministry of War who defected to the left prime minister.

When the reputation of the left prime minister was damaged, this person was a little hesitant, but today he suddenly came forward before all the officials, which made Fang Yun feel that something was wrong.

Like most people, Fang Yun looked at Tong Luan and immediately looked at the left prime minister Liu Shan, but Liu Shan sat upright with no change in his expression.

"What does Minister Tong have to report?"

"I heard that the barbarians will march south next year, and I can't sleep. Fighting the barbarians is a major national event, and the palace examination is secondary. I would like to discuss the fight against the barbarians first and then ask the Ministry of Personnel to announce the list of palace examinations."

One person immediately said: "The court ceremony cannot be abolished. For hundreds of years, the fifth day of December has always been the first topic of the palace examination, and all other matters have been postponed!"

Fang Yun looked at the man, recalled the official album resume and what he saw in the literary meeting, and immediately remembered that this person was the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Supervisory Yuan, the second person under the Chief Censor of the Supervisory Yuan.

There are four ministers in Jingguo, the left minister, the right minister, the assistant minister and the minister of literature. Among them, the assistant minister is the loyal dog of the left minister, in charge of the Supervisory Yuan and the Ministry of Justice. The censors of the Supervisory Yuan are all famous for being tough. The Ministry of Justice is the private reserve of the Legalist scholars. The assistant minister has little influence on this one, but after all, he is the assistant minister, and his status is still higher than the six ministries and other officials.

Fang Yun was a little confused. Even if there was a dispute, it wouldn't be so heated. Why did the second person from the ministry and the court start to argue at the beginning of the court meeting?

Before Fang Yun could think it through, the others suddenly joined in.

"Lord Zuodu Yushi, this is wrong. What is worthy of the holy discussion is not as good as the annual palace examination? I ask the Queen Mother to put the big things first and postpone the topic of the palace examination."

"Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abolished..."

Then many officials started to argue over trivial matters.

Many officials from the fourth to the third rank expressed their opinions. Those with too low official positions remained silent, and officials above the third rank did not speak.

Fang Yun was a little confused at first, but after thinking for a while, he realized that this was the court. Even if the anti-left prime minister didn't know what Tong Luan's purpose was, as long as they opposed it, it would not be wrong. They opposed it purely for the sake of opposition.

Fang Yun finally understood why the officials argued about his reward that day for a day or two. This kind of court dispute could not be resolved quickly. Thinking of all the rumors in the court, Fang Yun knew that this question alone would be debated for at least a quarter of an hour, so he lowered his head and closed his eyes to rest.

Unfortunately, Fang Yun was wrong. It took a full quarter of an hour for the left prime minister's party to gain the upper hand, because even some neutral officials felt that the fight against the barbarians was the most important.

"I will change the court on behalf of the king. You dear ministers should first discuss the strategy of resisting the barbarians. Chen Sheng sent someone to convey yesterday that military and political affairs will be decided by all officials, and he will not interfere in state affairs."

"Chen Sheng is upright and upright, and is a blessing for Jingguo!" The Minister of Personnel said loudly.

Fang Yun did not even raise his eyelids. This Minister of Personnel was a classmate of the left prime minister. He was loyal to the left prime minister and always changed his attitude according to the situation. If he had not relied on his status, he would have argued with others long ago. However, this is a kind of power strategy of the eclectic school, allowing a hundred schools of thought to contend. Such people will definitely be like fish in water in the court.

"Chen Sheng is wise, and the Queen Mother is wise." Tong Luan shut up and sat down. The man who provoked the quarrel among the ministers closed his eyes and rested.

The court fell into a brief silence.

Ao Huang looked left and right, and he couldn't understand what these human beings were doing. They were arguing like a vegetable market just now, but now it suddenly became quiet, as if the previous quarrels were all illusions, and the court had always been so harmonious.

Fang Yun had never experienced the court, so he could only figure it out by himself. It seemed that the people of the left prime minister had taken the initiative and achieved their goal. At this time, they caught the other party off guard, so they could wait and see what happened, and then wait for an opportunity to take action. Unfortunately, the other party couldn't figure out the intentions of the left prime minister's party and dared not speak.

After dozens of breaths of silence, Jiang Hechuan, the Minister of Literature, who had been sitting still, suddenly spoke.

"Since the court has changed to fighting the barbarians, then I will first talk about a major event that can accelerate the growth of my human race."

Without waiting for the people on the side of the left prime minister Liu Shan to react, the queen mother immediately said: "Since it can increase the strength of the juren and help fight the barbarians, please ask the minister to discuss it in detail."

Some officials looked at Liu Shan, who was still sitting on the Diaoyutai, motionless.

Jiang Hechuan glanced at the ministers in the court, and finally his eyes fell on Fang Yun and then retracted, saying: "Fang Wenhou once obtained a large amount of Tianye from the Tianshu. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely take it for himself or sell it, but Fang Wenhou was kind and righteous, and his grace was widespread. He established the 'Human Race Tianye Gaohuo' and the 'Jingguo Tianye Gaohuo'. This year, 500 Jingguo juren and 2,000 other countries were selected to give Tianye to strengthen my human race."

Before Jiang Hechuan finished speaking, there were bursts of exclamations in the court. Many people stared at Fang Yun in surprise, especially those officials who had descendants of juren. They all had bright eyes and wanted to rush forward to ask Fang Yun for it.

That's a Heavenly Leaf!

Ordinary Semi-Saint families only get one or two Heavenly Leaves every year. Everyone knows that Heavenly Leaves are not as effective against humans as they are against demons, but they still work. Even if a person with average talent uses a Heavenly Leaf to enter the Heavenly Tree once, he will definitely become a Hanlin.

If the Semi-Saint families are not counted, the number of people promoted to Hanlin in Jingguo every year rarely exceeds ten.

With these Tianye, the number of Hanlin and Grand Secretaries of Jingguo will surely increase dramatically in twenty years.

However, officials of the Zuo Xiang party were terrified.

Tianye is too important. For a Tianye, a Hanlin is enough to betray Liushan, because even Liushan does not have the ability to make a Juren a Hanlin, but Fang Yun can!

When the human Jinshi became a Hanlin, most of them were over fifty years old. At this moment, the average age of Hanlin in the court was over sixty. These Hanlin had no hope of being promoted to Grand Secretaries. For them, it was more important to let their descendants become Hanlin than to gain benefits in the court.

What the human race values ​​most is inheritance. The predecessors cultivate the younger generation, and the younger generation believes in their ancestors, because it is the ancestors who educate the world, fight against monsters and barbarians, farm and raise livestock, and reproduce their descendants, opening up a better and better living environment for their descendants, unlike some uncivilized barbarians who believe in illusory gods.

The faith of the human race is rooted in the blood and soul, and does not need to be sold and spread.

Everyone thought that Jiang Hechuan would continue to promote the good of Tianye, but after everyone's discussion subsided, he said: "The matter of Tianye has been announced, everyone continue to discuss the strategy of resisting the barbarians."

Everyone was stunned, but soon they knew that Jiang Hechuan didn't say anything, but he said everything.

Everyone looked at Fang Yun.

Everything that Tianye Gaohuo represents is nothing more than four words.

Those who follow me will prosper!

Fang Yun is not only able to accept party members, but also has begun to cultivate party members on a large scale!

This kind of big method is not even possible for the semi-saint family.

The court fell into a subtle silence. Some people from the left-wing party secretly looked at Liu Shan, and then secretly looked at Fang Yun, not knowing what they were thinking.

Liu Shan was still as steady as a mountain, but his eyes seemed to have a very thin layer of shadow.
