The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Everyone was sitting and talking in low voices. Someone suddenly stood up, which immediately attracted attention.

When the song and dance off the stage reached "Mulan Ci", more than a dozen dancers were seen performing battle scenes with graceful postures, and the music became a bit tragic. However, because the official stood up suddenly, the hall changed, and some dancers made obvious mistakes in their movements.

Ao Huang looked around and didn't take the official seriously.

Fang Yun looked at the official, who was rugged and strong, with a typical appearance of a military attache, and was dressed in Hanlin civil service. The military attache pointed at a dancing girl and said angrily: "The Xusheng is here, and the king is here. Who gave you the courage to be so negligent!".

The twelve dancers were so frightened that they stopped dancing and knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

The musician also stopped playing his instrument and looked at the military attache in horror.

This is not an ordinary occasion. It is even more stringent than the monarch's birthday banquet. The dignified saint comes to celebrate the country, and he wants to fight for the country. It is not good for the country. If something goes wrong at this time, If someone finds something out, the crime will be increased.

Fang Yun said displeased: "What on earth did they do wrong to make this general go into such a big fight? If there was no big mistake, the general would have spared them, so there is no need to worry about it."

Upon hearing this, the officials of the two countries vaguely understood that no matter how stupid an official was in this situation, he would not suddenly say something arrogant. He must have something to say. Fang Yun guessed that the general might be unfavorable to him, so he took the first step and took the initiative. .

Some young officials followed the envoy team to gain more knowledge. Seeing this scene, they became more and more wary. It seemed that the old officials were right. The diplomacy between the two countries was exactly the same as in the history books, and various things would always happen. Nowadays, there won't be any incidents like during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period when the princes of the two countries were allied and one side sent dancers to assassinate them, but intrigues are inevitable.

Before the meeting, the two countries were playing games, and after the meeting, they were all scheming.

The general didn't expect Fang Yunhui to say this at all. He was stunned for a moment, and instinctively looked at Zong Wuyuan. Seeing Zong Wuyuan lowering his head to drink, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "Master Qi Xusheng, The leader of the maidservant was not attentive and thoughtless during the dance, and she made many mistakes. She was simply showing contempt for Xusheng and the king! This girl is in violation of etiquette. If she were in my house, she would be beaten with a stick."

The leading dancer was trembling with fear, her eyes filled with tears, but she did not dare to say a word.

Fang Yun said with a smile: "The song is wrong, Zhou Langgu. Today, the dance is flawed, and the general is angry. That's all, there is no need to worry about such trivial matters. You go down, and when the general calms down, you can toast to apologize."

The dancers and musicians secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and just as they were about to thank them, the general suddenly said: "Wait a minute! Our Qing Dynasty has strict etiquette. The king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son, any meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and any wrongdoing must be punished. I am a humble maid, I am The general asks you where you are from and where your ancestral home is, who gave you the courage to neglect Xu Sheng and the king!"

Just as Fang Yun was about to speak, Qing Jun slapped the table and said angrily: "Shut up, Fang Xusheng lets go. Who gives you the courage to stop you? Do you believe that I will punish you for the crime you committed?"

The general cupped his hands and said, "Qingjun, please calm down. I am a member of the military, and the most important thing is military laws and etiquette. If etiquette and laws are not there, how can we build an army? How can we govern the country? How can we calm the people? If we don't punish this lowly servant today, we will be punished." Spread the word that the people of our Qing country neglect Xu Sheng at the banquet, which is detrimental to the prestige of the country and the dignity of the king. There must be no slacking off at all. "

"Sigh... It's just you stubborn donkeys in the army. What you said makes some sense. It's up to you to deal with it."

Everyone could see clearly that the king and the general were in agreement, one was making sense, the other was taking over the fate of the country. In the end, it was General Qing who decided everything.

Fang Yun's eyes turned cold. He glanced at Qingjun first, then at the general, and said nothing.

The general looked angrily at the dancing girl who was headed by him, and shouted: "You bitch, I want to ask you, where are you from, where are you from, and why do you want to collide with Xu Sheng and the king, and ruin the name of our Qing country! Say! Isn't that right? Colluding with the enemy country! If you say anything false, it will be a serious crime to deceive the emperor and you will be punished!"

The dancing girl was so frightened that she burst into tears and hurriedly defended: "I will never collide..."

"Shut up! I'm asking you who you are and where you come from!"

"My humble name is Qinghe. I am from Xiangzhou. My ancestral home is Minggu Mansion in Jiangzhou, Jingguo. I was sent to the palace before I was ten years old. I have not had any contact with my family for many years, let alone with the enemy country..."

The general was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "This lowly servant is from Jiangzhou? It turns out that she and Fang Xusheng are from the same hometown, and the lower official is reckless. In this case, the lower official does not dare to go overboard, so please ask Fang Xusheng to show mercy."

Sai Shilang, the Minister of Rites of Jingguo State, stood up and shouted angrily: "How outrageous!"

"What the fuck!" Ao Huang didn't say anything from beginning to end, just because he was afraid of being blamed for being rude, but now he couldn't help it anymore, his beard was floating and his eyes were full of anger.

The officials of Jingguo stood up suddenly and glared at General Hanlin. The tables and chairs were in a mess and their energy was trembling.

Qing Jun cursed: "Xin Zhi, get out of my palace!"

Xin Zhi looked surprised and aggrieved, and said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the lower official? Didn't you just scold a slave from Jiangzhou? What's the crime of the lower official? The lower official is a rough man, just an ordinary Jinshi. He has never participated in the Imperial Examination, and he is a rough guy. He was promoted to the Imperial Academy based on his military skills, so he really doesn’t know how to scheming."

"Fuck you! How dare you say you didn't insinuate Fang Xusheng!" Zhou Junhu yelled.

Xin Zhi felt even more aggrieved and said hurriedly: "General Zhou really scared the subordinates. The subordinates swore with literary courage that they would look down on the people of Jingguo and scold the maids as cheap, but they were definitely not alluding to Fang Xusheng. If I have any lies. , Let my literary courage be shattered and my literary palace collapse."

The people of Jing State were even more angry. The matter was obvious. Xin Zhi used the military strategist's "all is fair in war" while talking nonsense. As long as he was serving the country in his heart, he would not have any problem even if he swore on his own holy way, let alone on his literary courage.

However, the people did not have sufficient evidence and had no way to target him. Moreover, even if Xin Zhi was insinuating, as long as he insisted that he was insulting Jing State instead of Fang Yun, even if he went to the Holy Court, the people would have no way to deal with him.

Zhou Junhu laughed in anger and said, "What a liar. Before the literary battle, dare you fight me in the way of military affairs!"

Xin Zhi laughed and said, "General Zhou, you are joking. Xin is just a mere Hanlin. His military knowledge is shallow. How can he compare with you, a great scholar. I am ashamed of myself. You win."

"Asshole! Why don't you go back and sit down?" Qing Jun glared at him, and Xin Zhi sighed and sat down.

Qing Jun turned his head to look at Fang Yun, who had a sullen face, and said, "Fang Xusheng, don't bother with this kind of rough soldier. These soldiers are the most difficult to deal with. I have always had a headache. Well, you didn't come to my palace to get angry, so don't worry about that guy. However, you can decide the fate of this dancer. You are here, and none of us can deal with her."

As Qing Jun was talking, Fang Yun's expression gradually eased, nodded, and said, "Originally, I came to Qingguo to do only one thing, but now I have to do three or two things. Qing Jun, can I redeem all the innocent people in Qingguo who are from Jingguo with a poem?"

"This..." Qing Jun hesitated.

The officials of Qingguo were silent, and the officials of Jingguo nodded secretly. Since Qingguo insulted Fang Yun with a dancer from Jingguo, Fang Yun retreated to advance and showed his benevolent side.
