In the lobby, Rong Ting's face was expressionless, but he nodded secretly in his heart.
The matter of becoming a marquis is inherently important. It is impossible to let you pass it so easily. As the saying goes, no one can make mistakes without being a sage. Some small shortcomings can be tolerated by Liubu. For example, Fang Yun brought a strange woman on board,
Participating in naval battles. This in itself is not a big problem. The ministers in the six departments are all familiar with the books of sages, have great ambitions in their hearts, and can penetrate the heaven and earth. It is not that such small problems cannot be tolerated.
There were four ministers in each of the six ministries, and a total of twenty-eight ministers took turns asking questions. The questions were sharp. Under such circumstances, Fang Yunneng was still able to answer fluently and behaved neither humble nor overbearing. This attitude alone makes him worthy of the respect of the adults in each ministry.
Contribute to his title.
"General Fang, we have finished what we want to ask. These questions may be a bit sharp, but they are not deliberately difficult for us, but are the procedures of the six departments. I hope General Fang will not mind it and continue to serve the court. Finally, Fang
Is there anything else you want to say, General?"
Zhang Gongqi, the Minister of Rites, asked the most pointed question.
Fang Yun was silent, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He had already learned about this kind of job description from his elder brother Fang Lin. In this job description, the issues of the adults in the six departments naturally required full concentration. But in the end, this
It is actually very important to go through personal routine inquiries. This is equivalent to a way and means to express one's feelings to the court and the royal family.
Fang Yun glanced around and saw that all the adults from the six departments were staring at him, with expressions of listening carefully. It was obvious that they attached great importance to what he said next.
"The canonization of princes is first decided by the six ministries, and then by the military aircraft department and the three princes. This practice is an ancestral system. Your Excellencies have been in charge of various ministries for a long time, and their abilities are naturally beyond question. No one needs to say anything. Fang Yun is not from the six ministries.
It is not appropriate for me to get involved. I have no other opinions. Regardless of whether I am granted a title or not, Fang Yun believes that this is the decision of your lords, and it must be justified, and it is completely understandable and acceptable!"
Fang Yun thought about it for a long time, and always felt that talking too much would lead to mistakes. None of the twenty-nine Confucian ministers sitting here are not very thoughtful people. Any scheming or loyalty show will be seen through at a glance, and then it will turn out to be a mistake.
Counterproductive.
"I have met countless people in my life, but at this age, there is someone like him who is witty but not stupid, smart but not cunning. He is able to send out and receive back, knows how to measure, and knows how to advance and retreat. He is almost unique. Just because of him this time
The last words he said in his job description increased his chances of becoming a marquis this time!"
In the center of the lobby, Rong Ting had a calm expression on his face, but he couldn't help but secretly admired in his heart. Sometimes, knowing how to restrain your sharpness at the right time is the sharpest performance.
Sure enough, as soon as Fang Yun's voice fell, the twenty-eight officials of the six ministries all nodded imperceptibly, with thoughtful expressions in their eyes. This time, the turmoil over the title of marquis was indeed quite big.
Officials of the six departments of military, criminal, household, official, rites, and work are under pressure from all sides. Not only the imperial court, but also not only the nobles and commoners, but also the great Confucian scholars, Confucian scholars, and their classmates and teachers.
pressure. This situation is unique.
The officials of the Six Ministries also consecrated other princes, including the more controversial Queen Yin Weiliang. But only Fang Yun made such a big fuss. The various controversies and pressures from the outside world were too great for them to ignore. At this time, Fang Yun,
Whether he slanders the noble lineage or flaunts himself, it will only offend the officials of the six ministries.
On the contrary, Fang Yun's statement of "not intervening in the deliberations of the six ministries and accepting the results of the six ministries' rulings" was even more recognized by these ministers. Although there are some people who think that Fang Yun played some tricks, they have to admit that what he said
This interpretation is reasonable and reasonable, and there is nothing more formal about it.
This is because the Six-Party Trial has always been conducted independently. Fang Yun has repeatedly stressed the independence of the Six-Party Department, which is not unreasonable. Many people have also begun to think deeply about whether too many other voices have been mixed in this Six-Party Trial.
Already.
All these factors allowed Fang Yun to gain the psychological approval of the twenty-eight officials from the Six Ministries present.
"General Fang, this time the debriefing of the Ministry of War has ended, General Fang can go back. In the future, General Fang may be needed to cooperate. I hope General Fang can understand."
A military minister said.
"Fang Yun understands."
Fang Yun nodded, stood up and walked out of the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
There is a saying that "look at people and talk about people, look at ghosts and talk about lies". When Fang Yun entered the clan's mansion that day, he was very aggressive. When he met the empress, he was humble. This is propriety.
Toughness depends on the occasion and location. The officials in the Six Ministries are all a group of Confucian officials, adhering to the principle of "treating the issue rather than the person", and are not specifically targeting Fang Yun. Therefore, Fang Yun's words are neither humble nor overbearing, and are not tough.
.Moreover, there are twenty-eight officials spread across the six ministries. To be tough in this situation is tantamount to offending all the Confucian officials in the court, which is really stupid.
Fang Yun had just walked out of the Ministry of War Yamen when a sound of rutting came from the other end of the street. After a moment, it stopped in front of Fang Yun. A celestial-level guard in brocade stepped out from the carriage.
He landed on the ground. He glanced at Fang Yun and sneered:
"General Fang, Lord Wu has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in!"
As he spoke, he bowed slightly and stretched his hand towards the carriage behind him, showing an unmistakable driving posture.
Fang Yun glanced at the pattern on the carriage and sneered in his heart:
"Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. I have just stepped into the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and Marquis Tianwu sent someone to invite me. It seems that he has good intentions. I want to see what tricks he has!"
"boom!"
With his robe lifted up, Fang Yun stepped onto the carriage and said neatly: "Lead the way!"
As soon as the carriage headed west, on the lower left side of the imperial city, stood a stern and majestic red-walled mansion. Viewed from a distance, the mansion exuded a powerful aura. Above the mansion,
, even the void is distorted, as if it is located in another space.
Fang Yun got off the carriage, and a guard in brocade clothes came forward: "General Fang, please come inside!"
Fang Yun glanced at the "Tianwuhou Mansion". The red-lacquered door of this solemn and majestic palace was tightly closed, and the middle door was not open. Only a small door that could be passed through by bending was left open.
Fang Yun immediately knew in his heart that Marquis Tianwu was letting him pass through the small door to humiliate him. Now that he has arrived in Shangjing City, countless people are paying attention. If he leaves now, he will be considered to be afraid, timid, and shrinking from the battle.
Then those princes who supported him behind the scenes would probably be frightened and their impression of him would be greatly weakened.
In this way, the momentum that the common people, generals at all levels, and officials have gathered together will be defeated with one blow. It may even be interpreted invisibly that the Fang family is afraid of Tianwuhou and begins to show weakness.
However, if he continues to move forward, Fang Yun will face two difficult decisions:
First, bow down and go through the small door. This choice is no different from leaving the Tianwuhou Mansion now. It will be regarded as the surrender of the Fang Mansion to Tianwuhou.
Second, cross the wall and enter. If you do this, it will be regarded as an attack on the Tianwuhou Mansion and will attract the attack of the Tianwuhou Mansion guards. At the same time, Tianwuhou can also use this as an excuse to take advantage of the situation to kill himself.
With the strength to reach the seventh level, coupled with the royal family's top magic weapon, I'm afraid it won't take much effort to kill himself.
"The distinguished guest has arrived, why don't you open the door yet?"
Fang Yun stood on the steps and said in a deep voice. Thoughts were running through his mind, but his face remained calm. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
The celestial-level guard next to him snorted and sneered:
"General Fang. Marquis Wu has a noble status and a prominent position. Every time he stamps his feet, the four directions will be shaken. How can anyone see it? The rules of Wuhou Mansion have always been that the gates are only open to Sangong, Wu Mu, and the Human Emperor.
The gate will only be opened when princes of the royal family and other princes of Wu approach. The middle gate is only open to princes in the court. Although the six departments are discussing the matter of General Fang becoming a prince, General Fang is still just a general. I am in court.
Such a great general is rare. There is nothing extraordinary about it. According to the rules of Wuhou Mansion, generals can only enter through the small door. General Fang, please come! Wuhou is still waiting!"
The last sentence was said in a hurling tone, quite rudely.
Fang Yun sneered in his heart, how could he be stumped by such a thing. The guard had just finished speaking, Fang Yun flicked his long sleeves, stepped forward, and stepped on the higher step.
"boom!"
As soon as this foot stepped out, the ground shook and the mountains shook. I saw a green light rising from Fang Yun's body, soaring into the sky. The strength of more than fifty heavenly dragons of the first level of Tianchong, without reservation, penetrated straight into the sky.
Where the light penetrated, the originally cloudless sky suddenly became filled with dark clouds, turning into a huge vortex and shrouding the top of the clouds. Among the clouds, there were lightning and thunder, which was extremely terrifying.
When Fang Yun originally stepped into the Yamen of the Ministry of War, he had restrained his aura. But when he released it at this moment, it immediately shook the world. A martial arts coercion belonging to a strong man from Tianchong spread far and wide.
The Wuhou Mansion guard who accompanied Fang Yun all the way immediately changed his face. His knees banged and he knelt heavily on the ground. His shoulders were shaking violently.
This Tianxiang-level guard is also a strong martial artist, but facing a martial arts overlord like Fang Yun in the Tianchong realm, the princes can only surrender!
This celestial-level guard has the power of more than ten heavenly dragons. But Fang Yun has the power of more than fifty heavenly dragons. The difference between the two is not enough to count. Although this guard struggled hard, he wanted to stand up.
It felt like five mountains were weighing on my shoulders, and I couldn't stand up.
This is the difference in martial arts. On that day, Fang Yun transformed into Kunpeng and had the power of more than fifty heavenly dragons. He was still pinned in the void by the powerful Tianchong, unable to move. What's more, this Tianxiang-level warrior was far inferior to him.
As soon as Fang Yun showed off his strength, there was a burst of exclamation from behind the gate. The sound of "bang bang" kneeling on the ground could not be heard without end. If his strength was not in the Tian Chong realm, he had no qualifications to stand in front of Fang Yun!
"Pingyao General Jun Yun, please see Tianwuhou!"
The rumbling sound echoed in the sky and shot into the depths of Tianwuhou's mansion. Suddenly, there was a dry thunder in the sky above Tianwuhou, which continued to rumble.
With Fang Yun's voice, the door of Tianwuhou's Mansion broke with a "bang", and the huge red lacquer door was knotted and opened in the face of Fang Yun's domineering strength.
Behind the gate, there were dense changes in the ground and sky, and people were kneeling on the ground, unable to move. The posture seemed to be welcoming Fang Yun's arrival!
