Everyone in the court was talking about it. As soon as Lei Konghe appeared, the officials of the Left Prime Minister's party had a clear upper hand.
Suddenly, Fang Yun saw a familiar name on the discussion board, Li Fanming.
The title of Li Fanming's article is very short.
"Which one is this?"
The content is also short.
"I mean the head of the family."
Fang Yun smiled and thought that Li Fanming was a really brave boy. However, when he thought about it carefully, when Lei Konghe was dominating the human race, Li Fanming might have been on good terms with Lei Konghe and Li Fanming's elders.
However, even though Li Fanming was joking with Lei Konghe, he was obviously helping Fang Yun.
Lei Konghe's words shocked the human race, and Li Fanming's one-sentence article also attracted the interest of many people.
Especially the young people of the human race, they all supported Li Fanming.
"Times have changed. Shengyuan Continent is no longer their world. It belongs to us young scholars!"
"So what if he was the greatest scholar back then? He still didn't become a half-saint after all!"
"After he returned to Shengyuan Continent, the first thing he said must be, why are all my nephews dead?"
"I heard that this is Lei Zhongmo's uncle, who held Lei Zhongmo in his arms and taught him to read."
"If you have the ability to give Fang Xusheng thirty years, you will definitely surpass him by far!"
"I think ten years is enough."
Suddenly, a member of the Lei family interrupted.
"He boasted that he would write sixteen war poems and become a world master in three years, but what happened? He should have fulfilled the three-year promise last year, but he went into seclusion without a word. Did he really think that everyone had forgotten about it? Now that I think about it, the saints in the demon world are really stupid. They actually initiated the Moon Tree Divine Punishment in advance, which is equivalent to actively losing to Fang Yun. If they had waited until this year, the demon world wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
This member of the Lei family immediately became the target of public criticism, and many scholars began to reprimand him.
Fang Yun looked at the man's name and recognized that the scholar from the Lei family who had passed the imperial examination in the past was now a juren.
After a full quarter of an hour, Assistant Minister Yue Qing coughed lightly and said in a clear voice: "May I ask everyone in the hall, how do you deal with the case of the new head of the Lei family suing Fang Xusheng?"
The Queen Mother leaned over and whispered a few words in the young prince's ear, and then the young prince straightened his chest and raised his head, and said loudly: "The title of king will not be taken away, so you will judge. I am a disciple of the Saint Fang Xu, how can a disciple judge my master? I would like to trouble you to hand this matter over to the Saint Academy, and the Saint Academy will handle it."
"this"
Without waiting for Si Yueqing to finish his words, Jiang Hechuan nodded and said, "There is no government office in Jingguo that can judge Xu Sheng. In my opinion, it is better to let the Holy Court handle it."
Cao Dean immediately said, "I think it would be better to leave it to the Holy Academy."
The Queen Mother said, "Two ministers in the cabinet support this matter being handed over to the Holy Court for handling. What do the Left Prime Minister and the Assistant Prime Minister think? If you two are against it, then according to convention, if the cabinet is undecided, the king will make the decision."
Si Yueqing showed helplessness. Unless the real intention was exposed, this was already the limit. If the king and the queen mother were really forced to express their opinions, it would not be just a test, but another failure of the Left Prime Minister's party in the court.
As a prime minister of a country, Si Yueqing knew very well that he must not take this last step.
Si Yueqing looked at Liu Shan. Liu Shan remained the same, with his eyelids slightly drooped, and ignored everything that happened at the meeting.
"In this case, if there are people in Jing Kingdom who cannot be punished in the future, they should be handed over to the Holy Academy, no matter what his status in Jing Kingdom is." Si Yueqing said unwillingly at last.
Cao De'an said with a smile: "Of course, if Jingguo produces another virtual saint, we will naturally have no control over him."
"Hmph." Si Yueqing snorted coldly and took a step back.
Si Yueqing retreated, and the officials of the Zuo Xiang Party tactfully stopped arguing.
"Since there is nothing else to do, let's adjourn."
All the civil and military officials in the court left the Golden Palace in an orderly procession. Before they had gone far, the old eunuch beside the empress dowager started jogging.
"Fang Xusheng, please stay." The old eunuch shouted while running, panting.
Fang Yun stopped, and the other officials looked at Fang Yun and the old eunuch curiously while continuing to move forward.
The old eunuch stopped beside Fang Yun, bowed, and then panted for a few times before saying, "The Queen Mother asked me to ask Master Xusheng if you can come to the palace to guide His Majesty's studies if you have time in the next few days. His Majesty has just started to learn some elementary reading materials such as the Three Character Classic and Fox Couplets. He is looking forward to you being his teacher and giving him lessons every day."
Fang Yun smiled and nodded, saying: "Speaking of which, the young prince has reached the age of enlightenment. There doesn't seem to be anything major happening in Xiangzhou right now, so it won't matter if he goes a few days later."
"I thank you on behalf of the king!" The old eunuch was overjoyed.
After bidding farewell to the old eunuch, Fang Yun left the palace. Outside the gate, there were many officials standing, led by Jiang Hechuan and Cao De'an, all of whom were against the Left Prime Minister's party.
"Fang Xusheng, as colleagues, we should get together often, but you, on the other hand, travel all over the world. It is better to meet today than to wait for a day. I think, how about I treat you today and let us get together at a nearby restaurant?" Cao Dean looked at Fang Yun with a smile, his slightly plump face looking very kind.
Fang Yun was slightly embarrassed, but he smiled and said, "Since entering the capital, I have rarely drank with my colleagues. Prime Minister Cao said it well, it is better to drink today than to wait for a day. Let's drink together today and not leave until we are drunk! Please!"
"please!"
Everyone responded and left with a smile.
Prime Minister Cao chose Deyue Tower, a restaurant frequented by officials from the capital, and booked the third floor. More than 20 officials gathered together and began drinking and chatting at noon.
When the news of Fang Yun drinking with the officials spread, some scholars of higher status also came to join in the fun. By the evening, the number of people had increased to fifty-seven.
Today was not a literary gathering, and people did not talk about poetry or essays. The topics were varied. At first, they just chatted about the situation in various countries, then talked about the creatures of all realms, and then talked about the affairs of Jing State. As night fell, they had almost finished talking about everything, so everyone began to talk about some unofficial history, secrets, and rumors of private affairs.
Although they were all arrogant on weekdays, they were officials after all and were extremely interested in some things. Everyone had heard a lot of interesting stories, so they started chatting one after another, such as how many wives and concubines Grand Secretary Huajun had, which houseboat Liu Shan had spent the night in when he was young, how Prince Kang was discovered by the princess to have an affair with his niece, the embarrassing things done by the former left prime minister, and so on.
Various secrets were revealed, and most of the time people just smiled and understood, but some facts were so funny that they caused laughter.
We drank until late at night and the banquet ended.
It was not until today that some officials felt that Fang Yun had officially been integrated into the officials of Jing State.
Fang Yun drank a lot of wine, but he didn't use his talent to drive out the alcohol, so he was a little tipsy.
Fang Yun felt that this state was quite good. It seemed as if he was stepping on soft cotton. His mind often had brief blanks. Although he felt dizzy occasionally, he felt very comfortable.
Back in Quan Garden, Fang Yun leaned back in his chair, daydreaming and enjoying this rare feeling.
For Fang Yun, drinking is almost an indulgence.
An hour later, Fang Yun suddenly felt a surge of literary courage, which drove away all the drunkenness.
Fang Yun's eyes suddenly brightened.
"It's almost time. Time waits for no one."
Fang Yun thought to himself, took out a semi-saint work and began to read it carefully.
