News from the capital city continued to fly to Huai'an City like snow flakes. Fang Yun sat in the city with a calm mind, responding to the changes by remaining unchanged and watching the situation develop.
The development of the matter was basically as he expected. The most direct collision between his father Fang Yin and the Human Emperor has been temporarily covered up by this incident. The attention of the people in the world has basically shifted to his title of Marquis.
on things.
No matter what the final outcome is, his goal has been achieved. As for the result of becoming a marquis..., Fang Yun doesn't care. He wanted to be a marquis before, just because he thought that becoming a marquis could change his destiny.
Guarding the Fang family. But now, I have been exposed to many things, understood many things, and have seen great changes, and I no longer want to be as enthusiastic as before.
To be granted the title of Marquis Yike, or not to be granted the title of Marquis..., with strong strength as the backing, in a snap of the fingers, the sky and the earth will collapse, who in the world dares to underestimate him? How can the position of a small prince in the court be restrained?
"...Eighteen noble princes, including Pingding Hou, Zhen Guo Hou, Shanhe Hou, Jinxiu Hou, etc., jointly submitted a letter to six ministries including the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment, strongly opposing Fang Yun's title of marquis!..."
Fang Yun sat in the study and softly read out the contents of a piece of letter paper in his hand. After reading it, Fang Yun sneered. It is a person's own business if he does not want to be granted a title of marquis, but a person who has been impeached cannot be granted a title of marquis.
This is another story. How dare clowns such as Ping Dinghou and Zhenguohou dare to act like this. I really thought he couldn't cure them.
The eighteen noble princes accounted for more than half of the noble princes. It was hard for them!
With a twitch of his hand, Fang Yun pulled the "news" to the bottom and looked at the next message flying out of the capital:
"...Marquis Manghuang stated that the Fang family has three princes, and the relationship is of great importance, so we must be cautious. I hope the six tribes can act with caution!"
The time between the two messages is not long. It can be seen how quickly Fang Yun's moths are collected in Shangjing City! Fang Yun's moths, managed by Zhao Boyan, number more than 100,000. Almost
Every hour, more than ten pieces of news come from Shangjing City.
After reading this piece of news, Fang Yun frowned slightly. He was a little surprised. Fang Yun had seen this Manghuanghou before. His impression was not bad. Manghuanghou would actually express his stance at such a critical point. Behind the scenes
The profound meaning is worth thinking about.
Marquis Manghuang is said to be the number one among the nobles. This number one does not refer to being the best in terms of military force. It refers to family status. Fang Yun has Zhao Boyan helping him run the news agency, and now he knows more about Marquis Manghuang.
The influence of this Manghuang Hou spread throughout the government and the public, even affecting the imperial palace. His role in the Great Zhou Dynasty was very important!
Marquis Manghuang expressed his hope that the six ministries would act with caution. His attitude was self-evident. The Marquis Manghuang's statement was extremely detrimental to his own title of marquis. However, Fang Yun also felt something strange.
Marquis Manghuang has always stayed out of the dispute between the aristocratic marquis line and the commoner marquis lineage. This sudden break with the routine seems strange. And the statement is vague, leaving room for words, and the tone is not very firm, which makes it even more strange.
.With the ability of Marquis Manghuang, once he really decides, if he wants to side with the Noble Marquis, there is no need to speak so softly. This is not like a firm statement, but rather like being forced.
"Wow!"
The page was turned, and the message on the third page jumped into view:
"... Before Marquis Manghuang expressed his stance, Marquis Li Yu entered the Mansion of Marquis Manghuang..."
"Interesting," Fang Yun smiled, feeling slightly interested. The Marquis of Zhenguo and Marquis Pingding could actually invite Marquis Manghuang, which made him moved and surprised.
Without thinking much, he immediately opened the next page of letter paper. A few lines of ink words immediately came into view:
"There are rumors in the capital that Marquis Tianwu has said that anyone who dares to side with the Fang family and his son is his enemy! Sifang Hou Fang Yin is a rebellious person for the first time. He actually dares to disobey orders and ignore the rules of the monarch and his ministers. He is a rebellious and traitorous son! The Fang family and his son are traitors!
Three people, like a raccoon dog, have evil intentions, and everyone will find them and punish them. I will not allow the Fang family to gain power even if I am the Marquis of Wu for one day!..."
Seeing these lines of ink characters, Fang Yun's pupils suddenly shrank, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. Fang Yun believed that the Fang family should have nothing to do with Marquis Tianwu, but this man was a bully, a bully, and called a deer a horse.
The three fathers and sons of the Fang family are rebellious officials and traitors with evil intentions. Moreover, their tone is categorical and cannot be refuted at all.
Marquis Wu has a high position and every move is watched by everyone. So he should be careful when speaking, but this man did the opposite. Fang Yun did not intend to offend Marquis Wu, but he was not afraid of it just because of it.
he.
"A good person will be bullied by others, a good horse will be ridden by others!..."
Fang Yun slowly stood up from the wide chair, a dazzling light bursting out of his eyes:
"This time, I was just to attract everyone's attention. It doesn't matter whether I can be granted a title or not. But now it seems that I have to make this a prince! - Tianwuhou, I will not be with you for the time being.
Martial arts. I want to see how you handle yourself on the day when I become a marquis!"
The so-called groundless rumors are not convincing at all among the people, and no one will pay attention to them. But once it involves high-level figures such as nobles and Wuhou, then the rumors are facts!
This is the default rule that everyone knows! The noble princes are extremely powerful and gain power in the capital. And the princes of Wu are even more prominent and frighten everyone. He dares to make fun of these important figures in the Zhou Dynasty and spread rumors. It is simply ignorant.
Life or death. No one would be so stupid!
"Now that you have taken action, now it is my turn to fight back!"
Fang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. He is not his father Fang Yin, nor is he his eldest brother Fang Lin. His way of dealing with things has always been fierce. Regarding the offensive of the noble marquis lineage, Fang Yun will naturally use
Respond in the most violent way.
Fang Yun grabbed the pen, wrote a few letters, and immediately sent them to Shangjing City. At the same time, Fang Yun flew towards the mountains outside Huai'an City.
Raising an army for a thousand days is spent in a moment. At the Bahrain Mine, he rescued a large number of scholars who went to the capital. Later, he continued to call the scholars from the academy into the army. Now it is time to use them!
…
In the capital city, Marquis Zhongxin, dressed in elegant white clothes, finished reading the letter in his hand and nodded slightly:
"It's time!"
After that, he folded the letter and put it on the table.
The next day, with almost a tacit understanding, thirty-eight documents flew to the six departments like snow flakes. Each of these thirty-eight documents was stamped with the prince's seal, and each letter represented a person.
He was a commoner prince of the Zhou Dynasty. This included the old commoner princes such as Zhongxinhou, Shenjianhou, Fengninghou, Quetianhou, etc., as well as Yihou Yin Weiliang and other new princes granted by the imperial court.
The number of thirty-eight civilian princes is more than twice that of the eighteen noble princes! When these thirty-eight documents were submitted to the six ministries of war, personnel, industry, and rites at the same time, it caused a shock in the six ministries.
Almost equivalent to a landslide and tsunami.
Since the Zhou imperial court appointed commoners as princes, this is the first time that the commoner princes have united to express their opinions on one matter.
Everyone knows that there are more civilian princes than noble princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, the civilian princes lineage has always been scattered and they have their own affairs. The noble princes suppressed the civilian princes for more than a day or two, and they have not been seen.
When did they say anything? Therefore, in some important matters, everyone almost ignored their voices.
But when these thirty-eight documents stamped with the prince's seal were presented to the desks of various ministries, causing a shaking like a mountain falling apart, everyone realized that everyone had underestimated this power!
…………
"What! Thirty-eight commoner princes submitted letters to six departments at the same time, supporting Fang Yun in making him a prince!!"
In Pingdinghou's mansion, Yang Xing jumped up in shock when he heard the news. People who were accustomed to suppressing suddenly jumped out and rebounded collectively. The feeling could not be described as "horror"!
"Yes. Thirty-eight princes. Including all twelve princes with real power and twenty-six princes with virtual power."
Under the lobby, a spy dressed in black said respectfully.
At this time, even Li Yu, who was sitting next to him, changed his expression. Princes also have virtual power and strength. Twelve civilian princes who hold real power and sit on all sides jointly signed a letter. This power is enough to shock anyone.
"Are these guys crazy? What do they want to do? Do they want to rebel?!"
Yang Xing hit the table with a "bang" sound, shattering all the teacups and teapots on the table. The news was too sudden. The disputes between noble princes and commoner princes have always been confined to private. Even if they fight, it is
Silently.
Eighteen noble princes opposed Fang Yun's enfeoffment, and immediately thirty-eight civilian princes supported Fang Yun's enfeoffment. This was tantamount to bringing the dispute between the noble princes and commoner princes to the surface.
"You're right. They just want to rebel!"
Li Yu said calmly, he quickly calmed down from the initial shock. Li Yu was far better than Yang Xing in adapting to the fait accompli.
"The commoner princes have been planning for a long time. They have been waiting for this opportunity. They are so united in helping the Fang family this time, probably because they hope to break the balance of power between us. If the Fang family has three princes, the situation in Beijing will be reversed.
As long as the commoner lineage has the upper hand, and the commoner nobles are promoted to nobles in the future, it will become an irresistible trend in the world!"
"Pop!"
Yang Xing clenched his fists, making bursts of "pop" sounds. There were even blue veins popping up on the back of his fists, obviously he was extremely angry. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Are these guys crazy! Are they going to openly quarrel with us? Marquis Tianwu's words are still in their ears, but they dare to do this!"
If it could be solved by force, Yang Xing would definitely want to punch all the thirty-eight princes to death.
"well!--"
Li Yu let out a long sigh: "This time, they have a wise person to contact them. Make sure they are right. If the two sides are at odds, we will definitely suffer. No matter how close our relationship with the royal family is, the royal family and the court,
It is impossible to publicly say that we, the noble nobles, are superior to others. Such words cannot be said! As for Tianwuhou——"
Li Yu smiled miserably:
"They are sure this time, that the law is inferior to others. No matter how angry Marquis Tianwu is, it is impossible to deal with the thirty-eight princes at the same time. This time they have completely gone out of their way to benefit their descendants. -
-This time, we were defeated by Marquis Zhongxin. I didn’t expect that he had such energy! This man has always presented himself as Prince Liu Xiu. I didn’t expect that he would have such a deep connection with the second son of the Fang family.
Thirty-eight princes and princes jointly submitted a letter? Huh! Prince Liu Xiu is probably even more angry than us now!"
