The two saints personally delivered gifts and pushed the wedding banquet to the climax. Fang Yun raised his glass and toasted everyone present.
Next, there was toasting and laughter in the palace.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan walked down the stairs and began to toast the guests to express their gratitude.
As there were too many people coming, Fang Yun couldn't toast everyone one by one, so he went to the seat where the great scholar was sitting first and toasted everyone at that table.
Fang Yun drank real wine, while Yang Yuhuan drank just boiled water.
After toasting all the great scholars, Fang Yun began to toast according to the regions, and he toasted dozens of tables at a time.
Finally, Fang Yun walked outside the palace and toasted everyone in the capital with his eloquent words, which drew cheers like a tsunami.
When Fang Yun returned to the palace, he saw a university scholar stand up and say with a smile: "Fang Xusheng, please stay."
Fang turned around and looked, and saw that it was Si Yueqing, one of the four ministers of Jing State. This man was the backbone of Liu Shan's party and had a deep friendship with Liu Shan. Most of the time, the Liu party was represented by this assistant minister.
"Grand Secretary." Fang Yun smiled at Si Yueqing.
Si Yueqing bowed to Fang Yun and said, "Fang Xusheng, on your wedding day, I shouldn't have left early. However, Lei Ao, the head of the Lei family, is my good friend. He was buried today, and I should have been the first to offer my condolences, but I still came to your wedding banquet first. I think I have done my best. If there is anything wrong, you can punish me after I return from the Lei family. I am going to Leizhou, Jiaguo now. If I am late, I am afraid I will miss Lei Ao's funeral. Goodbye!"
Without waiting for Fang Yun to speak, Si Yueqing turned and left.
The sounds in the palace gradually dissipated, and soon everyone looked at Fang Yun together.
Afterwards, everyone in the left prime minister's party stood up quickly.
"Fang Xusheng, please don't be offended. Patriarch Lei has passed away, so we have to go there!"
"Fang Xusheng, please continue. Don't worry about us. If I have offended you, I will apologize another day!"
"We came here first because your wedding is the most important thing to us. As for the funeral of Grand Secretary Lei Ao, we cannot refuse. Goodbye!"
Hundreds of people were seen walking out, completely ignoring Fang Yun.
Yang Yuhuan frowned slightly, and Fang Yun had a blank expression on his face, watching those people leave quietly.
At this time, there is no excuse to stop them.
It was not until this time that Fang Yun understood why those people looked at him so strangely before entering the palace.
"Damn it, after eating and drinking for free, you just piss and leave a stinking mess on the ground and then leave? Do you think this dragon doesn't exist?" Ao Huang transformed himself into a twenty-foot giant dragon and was about to attack, but was stopped by Fang Yun with a look.
"Get lost!" Ao Huang shouted angrily, and a strong wind suddenly blew up, blowing those people all over the place. They had to use their talents to protect their bodies, looking extremely embarrassed.
Li Fanming suddenly said in a sarcastic tone: "Goodbye! By the way, can you tell the Lei family a message for me? Fang Yun is now nicknamed the 'Patriarch Killer'. The current record is that two patriarchs died and two abdicated! I want to see how long the new Lei family patriarch can last with such arrogance!"
"After all, Lei Chongmo is the son-in-law of the West Sea Dragon Palace. After all, he is the most popular of the four great talents of the next generation. After all, he dares to hold a funeral at the time of Xu Sheng's wedding! I bet he can be the head of the family for a year!" Kong Delun sneered.
Hua Yuqing pretended to be angry and said, "Virtue. I am not happy when you say that. How can you slander the head of the Lei family like this? I bet he can be the head of the family for thirteen months!"
Yan Yukong said calmly: "I'll bet for three hundred days."
Some people rolled their eyes. These people were really finding ways to slander the Lei family and Lei Chongmo.
Many people in the palace have known about this for a long time, but they kept it secret for the sake of Fang Yun's wedding. Now that the Liu Party is here to disrupt Fang Yun's wedding, they will no longer pretend not to know.
Jiang Hechuan said coldly: "I have already prepared a memorial, asking the Palace of Rites to investigate this matter and give the Lei family the punishment they deserve! Lei Chongmo is the head of the Lei family, but he did something so absurd. If I meet him, I will definitely ask him clearly!"
When Fang Yun heard Wen Xiang's words, he felt a little warm in his heart.
When the great scholar said "ask clearly", he did not just mean to ask clearly, but to question Lei Chongmo with the power of a great scholar. Once Lei Chongmo could not pass Jiang Hechuan's questioning, his holy path would inevitably be flawed, and the time for him to become a great scholar would be delayed by at least three years.
Jiang Hechuan was the Minister of Culture of Jing State. He had enough reason to punish Lei Chongmo for treating his own country's Prince Ji like this. Moreover, Lei Chongmo was the Patriarch of Xusheng Family, and his status was higher than Jiang Hechuan.
Many people of Jing were filled with indignation. Even a good-natured man like Jiang Hechuan was so angry, which shows how unpopular Lei Chongmo is.
Others did not know, but Fang Yun knew that after the news of his death was announced, the Zuo Xiang Party began to act. After Liushan arrested those who tried to assassinate him, Jiang Hechuan visited him late at night, saying that he wanted to discuss literature and philosophy, but in fact he intended to use the power of a great Confucian scholar to abolish the Liushan Wen Palace.
Unfortunately, Liu Shan was protected by the sage, and Jiang Hechuan returned in failure. However, this also forced Liu Shan to not dare to go out again, otherwise the Liu party would become even more arrogant.
"Brother Hechuan, if you have time to go to Leizhou, Zhou will go with you."
"Ye Mou should be free that day, let's go to the famous Leizu Mountain together."
"It's time for me to stretch my muscles..."
There were actually more than ten great scholars who wanted to go to the Lei family with Jiang Hechuan.
Si Yueqing suddenly stopped, shook his head and sighed, "The wedding of the Grand Secretary is a wedding, but the death of the Grand Secretary does not deserve a funeral? Everyone, death is the greatest thing. No matter what mistakes Lei Ao made, since he has committed suicide to apologize, and Fang Xusheng was not hurt at all, why is he so aggressive? Lei Ao's funeral is held today, which is just a coincidence. Is it just because today is Fang Xusheng's wedding day that he should display his body for a day and hold a funeral tomorrow to change the death anniversary? This is not what the saints taught us!"
Si Yueqing said this with deep sorrow and continued to move forward.
"What the Grand Secretary said is right! Killing Xu Sheng is excusable, but scolding someone to death is unforgivable! The Grand Secretary must have a soft heart." Fang Yun's voice sounded.
Everyone couldn't hold back any longer and started to blame Si Yueqing, but Fang Yun raised his hand and everyone stopped.
"Today is my wedding day. I am even more happy to hear about this. Why are you angry? From now on, every year on this day, you will not only remember that it is Yuhuan and I's wedding day, but you will also remember that your enemy committed suicide. It will all be clear now. I don't remember mistakes, but I remember grudges!" Fang Yun said with a frank smile.
"Well said! How can I forget this revenge that concerns my life?"
"If someone kills you and still doesn't hold a grudge, you are not a saint, you are a fool."
"Making a fuss about a dead person is embarrassing the living!" Li Fanming sneered.
"Use the funeral as a trick to add joy to the wedding!" Yan Yukong immediately responded.
Everyone laughed. The shadow created by Lei Chongmo and Si Yueqing was dispelled by a few words from Fang Yun and his friends, and the atmosphere of the wedding became relaxed again.
Fang Yun’s friends in Shengxu were originally afraid that Fang Yun would be angry because of this, but now when they think about it from Fang Yun’s perspective, it is just as he said. On his wedding day, his enemy died. Isn’t this a double happiness
So, a large number of friends toasted Fang Yun and congratulated him on his double happiness.
Afterwards, the topic of the wedding banquet turned to how long Lei Zhongmo could remain the head of the family. Everyone expressed their opinions regardless of their rank, and sometimes someone made a witty remark that caused everyone to laugh, completely offsetting the impact of the Lei family funeral.
