Not long after the light of the imperial edict faded, the discussion board became lively, and the story of Fang Yun and Dongsheng Pavilion spread throughout the world.
At this time, the King of Jing was still in the capital, being taken care of by Grand Marshal Chen Zhixu, while the Queen Mother of Jing and most of the officials had already arrived in Ning'an City.
The county government office in Ning'an City became the Golden Palace, with the empress dowager sitting in the main seat and civil and military officials lined up on both sides.
Just now, the officials were arguing over whether to send troops to rescue Fang Yun. After the imperial edict was interrupted, the county government hall was silent for a long time.
After several dozen breaths, Liu Shan slowly stood up. His face was livid. He glanced at the officials, and finally bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "Fang Yun killed the special envoy of the Eastern Saint Pavilion. He was extremely treasonous and his crime was close to treason! I think Fang Yun is no longer suitable to be the governor of the two states. His throne should be taken away and sent to the Holy Court!"
Left Prime Minister Liu Shan officially takes action!
"I second the motion!" said the Minister of Personnel Gu Mingzhou.
"I second the motion!"
…
All the officials of the Left Prime Minister's party stood up.
Minister of Culture Jiang Hechuan and other officials did not know what to do for a moment and just sat there motionless.
Until now, no one knows what happened in the Holy Academy, and no one even knows why Fang Yun wanted to kill the special envoy of the East Holy Pavilion.
Even though Jiang Hechuan was a great scholar, he was still confused.
The Queen Mother wore a phoenix crown and her face was covered with a veil, so no one could see her appearance.
"Why did Minister Liu suddenly impeach Fang Xusheng?" The empress dowager's voice spread throughout the main hall of the county government, and officials such as Jiang Hechuan immediately came to their senses. The empress dowager asked this question even though she knew the answer, but in fact she was asking everyone to come forward.
Liu Shan said solemnly: "Fang Yun has committed a heinous crime. Our Jing Kingdom must send him to the Holy Court. Otherwise, the Holy Court will be furious and our Jing Kingdom will face a catastrophe."
Jiang Hechuan sat on the armchair and said, "Prime Minister Liu, what you said is absurd! If the Holy Court is angry, they will go find Fang Xusheng. What does it have to do with us? What's more... the Holy Court has just been angry once."
Jiang Hechuan's last sentence was quite interesting, but no one laughed.
Minister of Personnel Gu Mingzhou said: "The light of the Holy Edict was interrupted this time. Needless to say, it must be a battle between half-saints. Although the Holy Edict has not been issued, everyone knows the dangers involved, not to mention that the outcome is uncertain. I have heard that the Zong family and Fang Yun are sworn enemies. If Jingguo does not punish Fang Yun, the Zong family may retaliate."
"Minister Gu is only afraid of the Zong family. Doesn't he care about the five semi-saint families of my Jing country?" asked General Zhou Junhu.
"The five semi-saint families of my Jing country will not retaliate against Jing country, so I don't need to care!" Gu Mingzhou said.
"Oh, Shangshu Gu doesn't care about the half-saint who stopped the imperial edict? You have the support of the Zong family behind you, but we, the officials of Jing country, don't!" Zhou Junhu said sarcastically.
The faces of the officials of the Left Prime Minister's Party changed slightly, but Gu Mingzhou remained calm and said, "In the court, we should not argue verbally, but only discuss family, country and world affairs. Although I don't know how the semi-saints fight, since they help Fang Xusheng, they will naturally help Jingguo. Even if we take away Fang Xusheng's position, the semi-saint will not punish us."
"Mencius once said that a gentleman can be deceived by his own methods. The ancient Shangshu is even more powerful than Mencius. He used Mencius's methods to deal with a semi-saint. I admire him very much!" Zhou Junhu counterattacked.
Liu Shan coughed lightly to stop the two from arguing, and said, "Your Highness, I am the head of all officials. Fang Yun's actions are against etiquette and law, so I should stand up and impeach him! I also ask the Queen Mother to issue an order on behalf of the monarch to strip Fang Yun of his title of Prince Ji and take back Fang Yun's position as the governor of the two weeks. Otherwise, if the half-saint vents his anger and causes a civil uprising or even a mutiny, who will be held responsible?"
Jiang Hechuan said, "Prime Minister Liu, you believe that Fang Xusheng killed the special envoy at random, but I believe that there are reasons for it, and no one can convince the other. Now the outcome is uncertain, and the Holy Court has not issued an official document, so it is too hasty to impeach. In my opinion, it is better to wait and see, and wait until the Holy Court issues an official document to determine that Fang Xusheng is guilty, and then you can initiate impeachment, how about it?"
Liu Shan said solemnly: "The Holy Court has its own laws, and our Jing country has its own laws. Fang Yun, as the governor of two states, killed the special envoy of the Eastern Holy Court without any regard for the future of Jing country, and brought a semi-saint enemy to Jing country. No matter what the outcome is, he is definitely not suitable to serve in Jing country. What's more, the Eastern Holy Court's charge for arresting King Niushan is very clear. It was Fang Yun who bypassed the Holy Court to mobilize troops from the Nuzhi tribe, which has violated the laws of the Holy Court. How can such an official serve in Jing country?"
"Since we are talking about the law of Jing State..."
The two sides argued fiercely, and soon the county government office turned into a battlefield, and many people with low cultural status felt dizzy after listening to it.
Officials from the left-wing prime minister's party tried their best to impeach Fang Yun, but the rest of the officials did their utmost to obstruct them.
If it was the appointment and dismissal of ordinary officials, the Minister of Personnel Gu Mingzhou could make the decision with a single word, but now it involves Fang Yun, and the approval of the cabinet must be obtained first. As long as any of the four ministers objects, Liu Shan will not be able to succeed in impeachment.
However, Liu Shan's personal action made the officials who supported Fang Yun extremely vigilant. They tried their best to stop him, for fear that they would be tricked by Liu Shan by accident.
After discussing for a long time, Liu Shan suddenly shouted angrily: "Fang Yun exceeded his authority to command the Nuzhi tribe and killed the special envoy of the East Saint Pavilion. Why did you turn a blind eye? If Fang Yun is not punished, there will be no one guilty in the world! I am devoted to the Jing Kingdom and even offended the head of the Zong family. Since you are so devoted, I will not care! Take a look at the official document that the East Saint Pavilion just sent to me!"
Afterwards, Liu Shan held the official seal and showed the official document sent from Dongsheng Pavilion.
In the official document, Dongsheng Pavilion demanded that Jingguo give an explanation to Dongsheng Pavilion, otherwise Dongsheng Pavilion would sanction Jingguo at all costs.
None of the halls in the Holy Academy can sanction a country, only the East Holy Pavilion can do it.
As soon as the official document from the East Saint Pavilion came out, all the civil and military officials panicked. They were not Fang Yun, and they did not dare to go against the East Saint Pavilion.
Jiang Hechuan sneered and said, "Fang Xusheng went north and south to save Jingguo's millions of soldiers. No matter what, we can't let him down! As for the so-called explanation, have the people of our great Jingguo ever been afraid of the people of the Qingguo family?"
The two sides once again fell into a lengthy dispute.
When the Ning'an County Court was in chaos, the barbarian army launched a pursuit again.
Ao Xuan said with a malicious smile, "Your Highness Langyuan, if my guess is correct, the human race will inevitably fall into internal strife for Fang Yun, and Ning'an City will definitely be easily captured."
Lang Yuan looked at Fang Yun's back and said, "What a pity! If Niu Shan is taken to the Holy Court, this emperor will be unstoppable and will go directly to capture Fang Yun. Now we are getting closer and closer to Ning'an, and we don't have much time. If we can't swallow these one million soldiers, the morale of our race will inevitably be damaged, and the morale of the human race will inevitably be high, which is very unfavorable for the battle of Ning'an. Everyone, who of you has a plan to deal with those humans? Once adopted, there will be a big reward!"
The barbarian kings looked at each other, and none of them could come up with a good plan.
"Let's join the reinforcements for now!"
Lang Yuan sighed softly and used his blood and energy to transmit sound to contact the reinforcements from Wuyao Mountain and Lin Man.
Soon, the two sides gathered into a small but extremely terrifying army.
The total number of Great Barbarian Kings and Great Demon Kings has exceeded one hundred and fifty, and the number of Barbarian Kings is over a thousand.
The two sides were talking while chasing after the human race. Soon, Ao Xuan said, "Your Highness Langyuan, why don't we use the strategy we discussed before and send twenty Great Barbarian Kings to garrison here to protect the soldiers. The rest of the Great Barbarian Kings and Great Demon Kings will follow you to chase Fang Yun!"
