The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"well……"

Many sighs were heard.

This is the power of the left prime minister. Even if he has been hit by Fang Lun one after another in the past year, he can still veto any matter.

Although decades of operation have been shaken, the foundation remains.

Literary Minister Jiang Hechuan looked at Zuo Xiang Liushan and said: "Prime Minister Liu, as the head of the officials of Jingguo, what is your opinion on this matter?"

Liu Xiang muttered: "This matter is not trivial. I believe that both Ou Shilang's statement and Zhen Guogong's statement have merits, but there are also some omissions. My thoughts are not important, what is important is Yes, eleven important ministers in the cabinet are against it, which is a wake-up call. Of course, the majority agrees, which shows that recovering lost territory is what the people want."

Fang Yun remained calm, but secretly cursed Liu Shan as an old fox. This kind of diplomatic rhetoric seemed to say nothing, but in fact it said everything. This kind of wording was just to avoid being caught by others.

General Zhou Junhu sneered: "Does the Left Prime Minister support the recovery of lost territory, or does he oppose the recovery of lost territory?"

"It is understandable to recover the lost territory, but the timing of recovering the lost territory has been opposed by the ministers and involves many people. In my opinion, this matter needs to be considered in the long term." At this moment, Liu Shan did not have the decisiveness of a great scholar, but instead looked like an old bureaucrat who was doing nothing.

Many officials looked angry, and the left prime minister obviously used the word "drag" commonly used by bureaucrats to deal with this matter. The final result can be imagined, and Fang Yunwen's plan to fight Xiangzhou will definitely not be implemented.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, do you know that if a commoner is angry, blood will be splashed five steps away, let alone the Imperial Academy!" He Ludong, who had just been promoted to the Imperial Academy, stared at Liushan.

"Presumptuous!" Ou Mo shouted.

"This is above the court. Do you want to threaten the left prime minister of Jingguo?"

"What do you think of this place? General He, you went with Fang Yun to the Jinshi hunting grounds. Have you forgotten your dignity and disrespected your etiquette!"

"Threatening to be the left prime minister, how can you serve in Jingguo? I'm not afraid of breaking your literary courage!"

"General He must be careful, your promotion to Hanlin is not a reason for you to be arrogant!"

A group of leftist ministers made accusations.

He Ludong sneered: "Promoting to the Imperial Academy is indeed not the reason for my arrogance, but becoming an Imperial Academy gives me the possibility to eradicate traitors!"

"Bold maniac!" The officials of the Left Prime Minister and his party were extremely angry. He Ludong's words were not only arrogant, but also a disguised admission that he wanted to assassinate the Left Prime Minister.

No matter how strong an ordinary Jinshi is, it will be difficult for him to assassinate a Grand Scholar. The Grand Scholar's literary courage and various powers are enough to resist him in an instant.

However, a Hanlin general is different, especially a general like He Ludong who is far superior to ordinary Hanlin generals in terms of verbal and verbal debate. After countless battles, once a bachelor is assassinated, the death of that bachelor may exceed 70%!

"Assassinating the Grand Master will kill at least three tribes!"

He Ludong held his head high and said calmly: "Instead of a thousand clans bleeding, it is better for three clans to take their place."

"you……"

Many civil servants were so angry that they could not speak. This is the reason why civil servants are most afraid of and hate scholars in the military. Scholars in the military assassinate civilian officials in all countries. The left prime minister also faced an assassination last year, but he was later let go because the protection was too thorough. The assassin in the dark gives up.

The officials could predict that once Fang Yunwen's war in Xiangzhou was blocked, as long as someone spread the word, some Hanlin officials would take the risk and assassinate the left prime minister.

Especially for the old Hanlin who once served in the army, even if the assassination of Zuo Xiang would lead to the execution of three clans, the Jingguo royal family would secretly preserve a bloodline, and the execution palace would definitely turn a blind eye to such a thing.

In history books, the status of assassins and righteous men is much higher than that of ordinary civil servants, and it is one of the ways to become famous.

If it weren't for the high cost and difficulty of assassinating someone with a high literary position, the Jingguo scholars who assassinated the Zuo Prime Minister could have blocked the street in front of the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion!

"Lu Dong, please don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Hechuan frowned and scolded. Even though Jiang Hechuan was extremely angry, he didn't want to use this method to achieve his goal.

"I... have no right to consult, no ability to restore the land, but I have the heart to hoe the traitors! Anyone who prevents Fang Xusheng from regaining the lost land will have no sworn relationship with me, He Ludong!" He Ludong is nearly fifty years old, but his habits in the military are hard to change. , full of passion and passion, which is better than youth.

Liu Shan said calmly: "Since General He is so loyal, it's time for the Northwest Army to recruit people, and you are already a Hanlin, and you can lead the Northwest Army to fight against the demons and barbarians."

"Beast..." A young Jinshi general gritted his teeth and cursed. Although his voice was soft, everyone could hear him clearly.

The faces of the officials from the Left Prime Minister's Party darkened, but Liu Shan's expression remained unchanged.

Fang Yun looked at Liu Shan and narrowed his eyes slightly. He never expected Liu Shan to be so vicious.

In the winter of the year before last, it was the Zuo Prime Minister who interfered, which led to the defeat of the Northwest Army. The entire army was almost destroyed. In the end, only less than 30,000 sergeants were left among the 100,000 soldiers. Now even if the Northwest Army is replenished, it is still one of the barbarians' first choice targets. It would be fine if He Ludong died in battle after taking office. Once he was defeated and survived, he would definitely be punished by the left prime minister, and life would be worse than death.

Right Prime Minister Cao De'an coughed lightly and said: "Let's get back to the topic. In my opinion, since a thousand cities are promoted to a palace and hundreds of officials share the court, this matter should be decided jointly by all the officials in the palace. It does not require 70% approval, only 70% approval is required. It can be implemented if more than half of them agree.”

"That's what the right minister said!"

"Yes, it should be so!"

"Hmph!" Zuo Xiang snorted, suppressing all sounds.

Liu Shan's eyes were slender. He looked at the Queen Mother and the monarch behind the curtain, then at Fang Yun, and finally at the Right Prime Minister Cao De'an, and said slowly: "In "Jingguo Law", there is no decision by hundreds of officials. This court doesn’t belong to you, Cao De’an!”

Some officials were almost furious. Liu Shan accused Cao De'an of being a fake in public, which actually meant that he still had a strong control over Jingguo.

This court still belonged to Liu Shan!

Liu Shan wanted to establish his authority with Fang Yun!

Once Fang Yun and this virtual saint were suppressed today, the status of the Zuo Xiang Party would rise, and those fence-sitters would naturally move at the news, and the Zuo Xiang Party would inevitably restore its former power.

"Alas..."

A sigh echoed in the Fengtian Hall, which was the voice of the Queen Mother.

The originally angry officials could not help but feel sad, and their anger completely turned into sad thoughts.

Zong Sheng and Liu Shan have joined forces to lay out in Jingguo for many years, and they still control the general situation of Jingguo until now, and no one can resist.

"Forget it..." Many officials were discouraged.

Fang Yun lowered his head slightly, clenching his fists.

The virtual saint could kill the half-saint's clone, but he could not break the solid bureaucratic system.

At this moment, a lazy voice resounded over the palace.

"I haven't been to the palace for a long time. I almost got lost. Alas, there is a shortage of beggars in Jingguo. I will definitely find some good seedlings worth cultivating in Fengtian Palace."

The officials turned their heads and looked back.

A group of people slowly walked towards the palace, including the famous beggar uncle Zhao Jingkong, the head of the Chen family Chen Mingding, the great Confucian Zhang Hu of the Zhang Heng family, the great Confucian Gongyang Zun of the Gongyang family, and even the Grand Marshal Chen Zhixu who has not left his house for many days...

This team can stir up a storm even in Kongcheng, where the literary style is the most prosperous, let alone in Jingguo.
