Chapter 510: Jun is not a monarch, and a minister is not a minister
Chapter 510: The king is not the king, and the minister is not the minister
According to the memory of this Supreme Elder of Tianxie Sect, the sect has always been divided into Inner Heaven and Earth and Outer Heaven and Earth.
The outer world is where the elders and disciples of the sect stay. As for the inner world, only strong men above the Tianchong realm can enter. And after entering, it is basically equivalent to living in seclusion, focusing on practicing, and rarely coming out.
Although the Taishang elders have a very high status within the sect, they are not very high in the inner world. Above them, there are generations of Taishang elders who are separated between the inner world and the outer world.
the existence of time.
"No wonder the imperial court has an army of 100,000 people, but it can't wipe out these sects. It turns out there is such a background!"
Fang Yun inadvertently retrieved such a memory, and felt a little chilled in his heart. Regarding the secrets of the inner world, this supreme elder of the Tianxie Sect had very vague memories, and only had a rough idea.
Fang Yun felt that these memories were restricted by special means so that no one could pry into the details. This was exactly the same as what Zhaojue Temple did on "Vajra Tutuo".
"The great sects have existed for a very long time. Some sects are directly inherited from the Middle Ages. There must be something extraordinary about being able to exist for such a long time. I have to be careful in the future. Don't be careless and capsize the boat in the gutter!
"
Fang Yun's body shook and he immediately flew away into the distance.
Three days later, Fang Yun arrived at Shangjing City, and the entire Shangjing City suddenly became a sensation. Officials from various states, generals, governor's secret envoys, princes, and prince's spies all rushed to the city gate, preparing to see the second son of the Fang family who caused this turmoil.
.
In addition to these people, there were even more scholars, old Confucianists, ladies of the family, princes and ladies. Fang Yun's title of Marquis not only attracted the Confucian scholars who had a lot of controversy about him, but also attracted many young ladies who came to the capital to become maids.
The second son of the Fang family, his legendary experience and his unmarried age, formed a great attraction for these young ladies who came to the capital to have their first love. It is said that heroes have been born since ancient times, and Fang Yun was still a few months away from being ten years old.
He is seven years old and is truly a heroic boy!
From the city gate to the Sifang Marquis Mansion, the crowd was crowded and noisy, filled with all kinds of praises, criticisms, cheers and screams.
Fang Yun sat in a carriage prepared by Zhao Boyan's men, leaning against the wall of the carriage, quietly listening to the sounds outside the curtains.
The situation in Shangjing City had been expected by him. However, after actually entering Shangjing City, he realized how big the turmoil he had caused was.
The real situation was much worse than he expected!
He could hear the voices of some old Confucians outside the window fiercely opposing the title of prince, and he could also hear the voices of some scholars arguing and supporting. As for both sides of the street, some wealthy businessmen, princes, nobles and ladies were excited.
The call made Fang Yun feel a little bit dumbfounded.
According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, a man could not get married before he was eighteen years old. He had no plans to marry yet.
"Get away! Get away, everyone!"
When Fang Yun returned to Beijing this time, even the Imperial Guards were alarmed. They mobilized one after another and stood on both sides of the street to maintain order to prevent chaos and harassment.
Fang Yun's return to the capital this time to resume his duties caused a far greater sensation than when Marquis Yi entered the city. The number of people gathered on the street was almost ten times that of when Yi Weiliang came to the capital. Looking through the curtains of the carriage, there were crowds of people everywhere.
Yin Weiliang only attracted many ladies and ladies who came to the capital. But Fang Yun also attracted a large number of Confucian scholars and scholars.
With so many people gathering, once chaos breaks out, it will inevitably lead to tragedy. Therefore, the Forbidden Army has to be dispatched.
"Is this Fang Lin's brother?! What a terrifying momentum!"
"Last year, Fang Lin was injured. When he was recovering from his injuries in the Imperial Palace Forbidden Army Camp, I also met his younger brother Fang Yun. I didn't expect that he would achieve such an achievement today!"
"I heard that the three princes are now alarmed. I wonder if I should make him a marquis!"
There was also a lot of discussion among the Forbidden Army who maintained order. The Fang brothers were quite popular among the Forbidden Army, but many people only noticed the eldest son Fang Lin. They did not expect that the younger brother who seemed to be frail and good at literary affairs
, to have such an achievement!
The bronze carriage drove slowly along the street, and finally stopped far away from the Sifang Hou Mansion.
"Sir, I can't walk further ahead!"
The moth driving the car said.
"Oh," Fang Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and slowly opened his eyes. A large number of carriages gathered in front of the Sifang Hou Mansion, blocking the street that could accommodate five carriages traveling side by side.
Between the carriages, the crowds were bustling, waiting for something.
"The little Marquis is here! The little Marquis is here!"
The words "Little Marquis" came and immediately detonated the crowd. The dense crowd immediately rushed towards Fang Yun's carriage.
"Just stop here."
Fang Yun knew that there was no way to pass here. He pushed open the carriage door and walked out calmly.
When Fang Yun, dressed in silver clothes, wearing a purple gold crown, and a green hairpin, walked out of the carriage elegantly, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers, and a group of people dressed up one after another.
"Young Master, I am the special envoy of Yongzhou Prefecture. This is what our master means..."
"Little Marquis, this is a small gift from us adults..."
"...This is a ten thousand year old ginseng..."
These people actually came here to give gifts and took the opportunity to curry favor with and make friends with envoys from all sides. Although the matter of Fang Yun becoming a marquis was extremely controversial, the more controversial it was, the greater the value. It was just a small gift and nothing was lost.
But you can take the opportunity to make a good relationship with the Fang family, why not!
Fang Yun glanced at the closed gate of the Hou Mansion and frowned slightly. With his sleeves flicking, Fang Yun's eyes were like lightning, he glanced around and said in a deep voice:
"Keep the gift and throw away everything else!"
Fang Yun was born in the Hou family, and he has a noble temperament. In addition, he has been in the army for a long time, and his cultivation has become higher and higher. The temperament of a general who conquers on the battlefield, and the coercive aura of a strong martial artist, merge together to form a kind of
Awe-inspiring majesty.
As soon as Fang Yun's voice fell, the crowd in front of the Sifang Hou Mansion suddenly fell silent. Looking at Fang Yun, his eyes immediately filled with a kind of awe, and he was involuntarily affected.
Fang Yun has now entered the Tianchong realm and is a dominant figure in martial arts. In addition, his current momentum is at the peak of his power. Regardless of the opposition or support, he has become a popular figure now. This statement makes him a popular figure.
, immediately gives people the feeling that there is no doubt that they must do what they say.
"Yes, little Marquis. However, the gift..."
"As soon as the matter of becoming a marquis is over, I will reply to your messages one by one."
Fang Yun said indifferently. These people come from all over the Nine Provinces and have complex backgrounds. They represent officials of all sizes in the various states of the Zhou Dynasty. It is not appropriate to offend them all.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this: "Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis. Let's go back first."
Everyone carried the gifts down one after another, and some people even left the carriages directly. The envoys from various states and governments retreated, and others immediately appeared.
"Is this the Pingyao General Jun Yun?"
A gray-haired old scholar bowed his hands and walked out of the crowd.
Fang Yun glanced at the old scholar and saw that he looked old-fashioned and serious, and he immediately knew what he was talking about.
"That's right."
Fang Yun returned the favor with Confucian etiquette.
Seeing Fang Yun return the favor with Confucian etiquette, the old Confucian's expression brightened slightly, but he was still a little serious:
"On the Lantern Festival that year, the royal family hosted a banquet for the princes, noble families and princes' children. The scholar had won the civil and military leadership that year, so it can be seen that he was also a person who had read the books of sages. I would like to ask the scholar what is the etiquette, law and principles?"
"Here we come," Fang Yun's heart moved, and he naturally knew what this old Confucian was here for. The people who were most opposed to this time when he was granted the title of Marquis were those old Confucians who were rigid and old-fashioned, poor at reading scriptures, and obsessed with reading the books of sages.
This old Confucian is obviously one of them. There are countless people like him in every state and government.
These people adhere to the principles in their hearts, not necessarily for themselves. It is not easy to offend.
"The principles of etiquette and law are the principles of the king, the king, the ministers, the fathers, the sons, the sons!"
Fang Yun opened his mouth and said.
"I would like to ask you, scholar, what should happen if the ruler is not the king and the minister is not the subject?"
The old scholar stared at Fang Yun, his eyes becoming sharp.
At present, the Fang family's "three nobles in one family" are at the forefront of the storm. This sentence "the emperor is not the emperor, and the minister is not the minister" is obviously aimed at Fang Yun's title.
Fang Yun had already anticipated this kind of problem. Hearing this, he smiled calmly and said:
"The ruler is not a king, but he has a keen eye to recognize people, his heart is as wide as a valley, and he rules with an arch, he is a sage and wise king; a minister is not a minister, but he has no second thoughts, he shares the worries of the king, and guards for heaven, he is a minister of the country!"
After saying this, the whole place was silent. Even the envoys from various states and governments who came to deliver gifts couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this.
The Fang family's "one sect and three princes" were most criticized by Confucianists because they were contrary to the master of high merit and "the way of king and minister".
When the king loses power and the minister gains power, it is naturally against the rules of the king and his ministers. But Fang Yun reinterprets it from another aspect and resolves the invisible
The king has a keen eye and a broad mind. He has countless capable ministers who govern the world for him. Although he loses power, he still manages the world by doing nothing. This is a sage king. Although his ministers are powerful, they have no other ambitions. They only want to share the worries of the king.
, such a minister, even if his power exceeds that of the king, is not a rebellious minister, but a rebellious minister, but a capable minister of the country!
Fang Yun's implication is that the Fang family's "one family and three princes", even if it goes against the "way of monarchs and ministers", such ministers have no other intentions. They are not ordinary ministers, but ministers of the country and the country. And the emperor can tolerate it.
In such a situation, his mind must be extremely broad, not comparable to that of an ordinary king, but a sage and wise king.
In one sentence, he praised both the Fang family and the Emperor! He neutralized the Confucian verbal attack.
"The second son of the Fang family is indeed remarkable. Based on what he said today, I am afraid that there is a lot of potential for him to become a marquis!"
"What a sage king! What a minister of the country! These old Confucian scholars originally came to trouble him, but today when these words are spread, the old Confucian scholars may have a great impression of the second son of the Fang family.
The controversy over his title of marquis will probably be settled soon."
Among the crowd, some experienced envoys from various states and governments immediately sensed a lot of information from Fang Yun's words. These people originally played the role of envoys and spies, and were the best at analyzing this kind of information.
"When I go back this time, I'm afraid I'll have to write a book immediately. I'm afraid I'll have to re-examine my views on the Fang family's enfeoffment! Those old Confucian scholars who can utter such rebuttals will probably be convinced by him sooner or later!
"
After these people returned, they immediately repaired their books and sent messages to various places.
