A crisp sound of bones came from the hanging sleeves of Marquis Tianwu. The fists in Marquis Tianwu's sleeves were clenched tightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Marquis Wu had a prominent position and was also very proud. Fang Yun's words "too far" touched Marquis Tianwu's anger and gave him murderous intentions.
Fang Yun clearly saw the murderous intent in Marquis Tianwu's eyes. However, he didn't care.
"If there is nothing else, Fang Yun will leave!"
Fang Yun sneered, shook his sleeves, and walked straight out without even looking at Marquis Tianwu. He completely ignored Marquis Tianwu's anger and the murderous intent in his eyes.
Fang Yun was determined. Marquis Tianwu regarded his own status and would never dare to take action. For a lion, dying together with an ant is obviously meaningless and extremely stupid.
In the eyes of Marquis Tianwu, he is undoubtedly a lion. But I am an ant in his eyes!
Marquis Tianwu looked at Fang Yun's leaving back, his eyes flickering. Based on Fang Yun's behavior at this time, Marquis Tianwu had a hundred reasons to kill him. However, Marquis Tianwu knew that he could never touch him.
This is Shangjing City, the imperial capital. Confucian scholars gather here. If he does anything that violates the rules, not only the Three Guilds will impeach him, but even Wu Mu will not let him go.
The power pyramid of the Great Zhou Dynasty was interconnected layer by layer. The closer to the upper level, the greater the power. The same means the more serious the constraints!
"clatter!"
The moment Fang Yun stepped out of the door, the murderous intent in Marquis Tianwu's eyes finally faded away, and the tightly clenched fingers in his sleeves also relaxed.
"Father and son of the Fang family must not stay!"
A trace of murderous thoughts flashed through Marquis Tianwu's mind, but it was not shown on his face at all. He waved his hand and said to the guard who stopped Fang Yun at the door: "Let him go!"
Fang Yun walked out of Tianwuhou's Mansion without anyone stopping him. Naturally, there would be no carriage to see him out of Tianwuhou's Mansion. Fang Yun didn't mind either, so he walked forward on foot.
After leaving the Tianwuhou Mansion, a carriage stopped in front of Fang Yun amid a burst of shouting.
"Come up."
When the car door opened, Marquis Zhongxin smiled and stretched out his right hand towards Fang Yun. The fact that thirty-eight commoner marquis jointly submitted a letter has long been known to the world. Now the whole world knows that Marquis Zhongxin is on the same side as the Fang family.
Marquis Zhongxin no longer needed to hide anything and drove directly to greet Fang Yun in person.
"Master Hou."
There was a smile on Fang Yun's face, and he seemed not surprised that Zhongxinhou Zhangren appeared here. Every move he made was attracting attention. It was normal for Zhongxinhou to come to pick him up personally since he knew he was here.
They boarded the carriage, closed the door, sat side by side, and drove forward.
"When you went to Tianwuhou Mansion this time, you caused quite a stir."
Marquis Zhongxin looked forward with a calm expression and smiled.
"Now that we've broken our skin, why not tear it to the end!"
Fang Yun said calmly.
"Haha," Marquis Zhongxin chuckled and nodded: "The more you make a fuss, the more you know that your Fang family and Marquis Tianwu will be in opposition. The less Marquis Tianwu will dare to act rashly. Otherwise, others will suspect Wuhou.
Above. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. I am afraid that Marquis Tianwu will not let you go."
Fang Yun shook his head: "As long as he doesn't leave Shangjing, I'm really not afraid of him making things difficult for me!"
Yang Hong was able to use the golden cicada's plan of shedding its shell in the wilderness, but it was absolutely impossible for Marquis Tianwu to use this trick in Shangjing City. As Marquis Wu, he must be stationed at the military aircraft office at all times to coordinate with various places. If he leaves rashly,
First of all, he couldn't pass Wu Mu. Although Wu Hou was so powerful, the real decision-maker of the Zhou army was Wu Mu!
"There is one thing that I really can't understand. Marquis Wu has always rarely interfered in the affairs of the court. Marquis Tianwu has made it clear this time to prevent you from becoming a marquis. This is really strange!"
Marquis Zhongxin said, with a look of doubt and thought in his eyes.
Fang Yun's heart skipped a beat. This matter involved the secrets of the Fang family, and it was naturally impossible for Marquis Zhongxin to know.
"There must be a reason for Marquis Tianwu to do this. However, no matter what the reason, we must cross this threshold."
Fang Yun didn't want to talk more about this matter and immediately explained it away.
Such a person as Marquis Zhongxin knew the elegant meaning of Xiange after hearing it. He glanced at Fang Yun in surprise and thought deeply. However, he did not say much:
"That's right. We have to get over this embarrassment!"
After a pause, Marquis Zhongxin said:
"The influence of the noble lord lineage has been temporarily weakened by your ennoblement this time. However, we cannot be careless. There are still some capable people in the noble lord lineage. Manghuanghou and Zhenguohou, you have to be careful
It’s not unreasonable that the Marquis of Manghuang has been able to stand for so many years. As for the Marquis of Zhenguo, he hides his secrets and should not be careless.”
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for reminding me. I will pay attention to it."
Fang Yundao.
"Well," Marquis Zhongxin nodded: "The dispute between military strategists is not the biggest resistance now. The biggest resistance comes from the Confucian side. This matter is very difficult. Confucianism governs the world with 'benevolence' and 'propriety', and pays attention to
Moral cultivation is the opposite of our military strategists' fighting and fighting. The art of war is of no use to Confucians. There are only two ways to break the situation."
"Oh, Lord Marquis, please tell me."
Fang Yun looked like he was listening.
"The people who oppose your title of prince are all old Confucians and great Confucians. These old Confucians and great Confucians are good at learning but not knowledgeable about affairs. Therefore, they oppose you very loudly. On the contrary, the ministers in the court are more tolerant.
If you want to break the situation, what you said when you returned to Beijing has gone to the limit. If you make any more noise, it will immediately be counterproductive. So the only solution now is to have the Confucian family take action."
"Now, to break the situation, there are two moves. Each one corresponds to two people." Hou Zhongxin said.
"Master Marquis, please speak." Fang Yun said.
Marquis Zhongxin nodded and said seriously: "The first person is your grandfather. Mr. Liu Zhengxun was once a Yuanshi of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although he has been out of office for many years, he is very prestigious among a group of conservative old Confucians, especially back then.
, when he expelled his two children, he even gained the respect of the old Confucian scholars in the world. This matter was originally impossible to do, but now that he and your mother have reconciled, if he can get him
…”
"No!" Fang Yun knew what Marquis Zhongxin was going to say, and immediately shook his head: "Although I don't like my grandpa, I don't want to take advantage of him. Moreover, even if he is willing, given the current situation, he cannot help.
Busy."
"Haha," Marquis Zhongxin stroked his beard and chuckled: "That's right. This plan is definitely not feasible. With Mr. Liu's temperament, moving back to his old house is the limit. He should sacrifice his face and write to those old scholars.
It would be extremely difficult to write a letter to plead for mercy. Moreover, he has now returned to his old home and reconciled with his two children. Among the old scholars who keep reading scriptures, his reputation has dropped to the extreme. Even if he writes a letter, there may not be anyone.
will see."
"Master Hou, let's talk about the second person."
Fang Yun said helplessly.
"The second person is even simpler. You must know this person yourself, that is your teacher Guo Boji!"
Zhongxinhou Dao.
When Fang Yun heard this, he immediately fell silent.
Marquis Zhongxin glanced at Fang Yun and continued:
"The great Confucians in the imperial court are different from the old Confucians. Mr. Guo Boji once served as the senior official of the imperial court. His moral cultivation is beyond doubt, and he is over seventy years old. With his Confucian background, and you
Your teacher must know you very well. If, in his capacity, he could stand up and say a few words, even those old Confucian scholars who study the scriptures would hear a few words. It would greatly improve your situation."
After Zhongxinhou finished speaking, he stopped talking and allowed Fang Yun to meditate on his own.
"drive!"
With a shout, a gorgeous carriage pulled by four horses came from the opposite direction. They stopped the carriage of Fang Yun and Marquis Zhongxin. As soon as it stopped, a man dressed in brocade and obviously of extraordinary origin jumped out of the carriage.
Coachman.
"In the carriage, are Marquis Zhongxin and Young Marquis Fang Yun?"
The coachman grabbed the reins of the two horses pulling the carriage from the Marquis Zhongxin's house.
"Um?"
In the carriage, Fang Yun and Marquis Zhongxin both opened their eyes, and a strange light shot out from their eyes.
Marquis Zhongxin thought for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Your return this time has affected all parties. People who want to see you are coming one after another. I'm afraid this is one of them."
Fang Yun nodded slightly and knew what he was doing. This time he was granted the title of Marquis, and there were too many forces involved. There were many people who wanted to meet him and find out his tone and thoughts.
The force represented by the carriage in front will not be the first one. Nor will it be the last one.
"good."
Fang Yun said in a deep voice.
The coachman breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slightly:
"Don't be offended, Marquis Zhongxin. I am also following orders. - Young Marquis, your Highness invites you to come with me."
"It doesn't matter. Just retreat."
Marquis Zhongxin waved his hand, opened the curtains lightly, took a look, withdrew his gaze and said with a smile:
"Fang Yun, the Thirteenth Prince has sent someone to invite him. Come over. As for what happened just now, you should think about it yourself."
"Thank you, Mr. Hou, for your advice. I will consider it."
Fang Yun nodded slightly, then jumped out of the carriage.
"Little Marquis, please come inside."
The coachman opened the door of the bronze carriage and then bowed down.
Fang Yun jumped on the carriage and actually sat in the carriage sent by the Thirteenth Prince Liu Che. Fang Yun couldn't help but feel a trance.
Today, he is no longer the young man who had no power and was forced to flee by Yang Qian and Li Ping. In just one day, he has already met Marquis Tianwu, Marquis Zhongxin, and ten more.
The third prince Liu Che sent people here again... and forces from all sides came one after another.
At this moment, Fang Yun really felt the feeling of being watched by all. Only then did he feel that he had become a new rich man in the capital, the darling of all parties. He had truly fallen into the center of the power struggle in the Zhou Dynasty and became a pivotal figure!
"What a pity, it's a step too late!"
Just as the carriage sent by the Thirteenth Prince Liu Che left, another carriage immediately came from the other direction. Seeing Fang Yun leaving in the Thirteenth Prince's carriage, the guards in the car sighed.
"What should we do? Shall we go back now?"
said the coachman.
The guard in the carriage thought for a moment and waved his hand: "No! - Let's wait for him to come out. His Highness the Prince has an order and must see Fang Yun!"
The carriage with the dragon dragon embroidered on the body only stayed for a moment and then passed by the carriage of Marquis Zhongxin.
In the carriage, Marquis Zhongxin took in this scene silently and nodded imperceptibly.
"Let's go."
Marquis Zhongxin gave the order and the carriage drove west to Marquis Zhongxin's mansion.
