Even the imperial censors, who were known to be the most stubborn among all officials, did not stand up to accuse Fang Yun at this moment.
Fang Yun almost single-handedly drove the powerful Liu Shan out of the court, accomplishing what no other civil or military official in the court could do. Who dared to oppose Fang Yun
In the Golden Palace, Fang Yun sitting on the throne was particularly eye-catching.
Fang Yun nodded slightly and said, "From today on, I will resign from all official positions in Jing State."
All the officials were shocked, and Lord Jing was stunned.
No one expected that Fang Yun would retreat at the height of his battle against Liu Shan.
Many people's faces changed and they were thinking in their hearts.
In Jing State, Fang Yun not only holds an official position, but also has a title of king and fiefdom, as well as a series of additional titles such as Grand Master. Even if he resigns from the powerful positions such as the Governor of the Two States, it will not affect Fang Yun's prestige. However, without a powerful official position, Fang Yun's words and deeds in Jing State will fall into two extremes. In some matters, he cannot say a word to avoid interfering in government affairs, but in other matters, he can speak freely without worrying about the feelings of the officials and the royal family.
The key point is that no one knows whether Fang Yun is still luring the snake out of its hole.
At this time, the Queen Mother's voice came from behind the curtain.
"Please think twice, Saint Fangxu. You are the mainstay of the nation, like the Kunlun Mountain, the pillar of heaven. If Jingguo loses you, the building will collapse."
The young Jingjun immediately stood up, his face full of sorrow, and said, "Teacher, are you going to abandon your student and leave?"
The eyes of some officials flickered, and for a moment they didn't know whether the Queen Mother and Jing Jun were really trying to keep them or were just pretending.
Liu Shan is in mourning, so even without Fang Yun saying anything, the royal family will certainly strike at the Left Prime Minister's party at all costs. After that, there is only one faction that can truly confront the royal family, and that is the new faction privately called the Ji Wang Party, also known as the Ning'an Party.
Apart from the Ning'an Party, there are many factions in the court, but most of them are relatively loose. For example, the military actually has more than ten forces of varying sizes, and there are also many civil servants and literary academies, but they were previously collectively called the Royalist Party.
But now the so-called royalists no longer exist, and the various factions are absolutely powerless to fight against the royal family.
The only exception is the Ning'an Party.
The Ning'an Party at this moment is indeed not as wide-ranging as the Zuo Xiang Party back then, but in terms of future trends and real power, it is still above the Zuo Xiang Party. If Fang Yun wants to forcibly take over the position of Zuo Xiang, he will surely become a powerful official who overpowers the royal family.
All officials knew that as the Zuo Xiang Party disappeared, Fang Yun would inevitably become a target of vigilance for the royal family.
A semi-saint may not be able to seize the power of a country, but it is different for a great scholar. Many people who have seized countries in history were great scholars. If a person covets the power of a monarch, he can easily get it after five years of operation at most.
Except for the Queen Mother and Jing Jun, no civil or military official spoke, because even the great scholars present did not know who was sincere and who was fake between Fang Yun and the royal family.
However, one thing is certain, if Liu Shan leaves, the royal family does not want to see any powerful official, but if Fang Yun resigns, it will be extremely disadvantageous to Jing State.
The atmosphere in the Golden Palace was unprecedentedly strange.
Fang Yun smiled slightly, as if he had talked about this situation before, stood up from his seat, and slowly walked out.
However, the Queen Mother cried out in surprise: "Fang Xusheng, please don't leave!"
Jing Jun was stunned for a moment, then he picked up his yellow robe and ran down the stairs quickly. Finally, he grabbed Fang Yun's sleeves with both hands and pulled it back hard.
"Dear teacher, please don't abandon your student." Jing Jun pleaded in a tearful voice, with slightly red eyes.
Many scholars were moved by this scene. Although the child was young, he was the king of a country. The fact that he could beg like this showed his sincerity.
Jiang Hechuan sighed and said, "Fang Yun, please stay. Jingguo cannot live without you now."
"Fang Xusheng, what are you talking about? Liu Shan's departure is a good thing. After the war with the barbarians, Jing State is in ruins and needs you the most. We have seen your achievements in Ning'an and Xiangzhou, and we remember them in our hearts. If you can take charge of the government, Jing State will surely prosper. I am a rough man, and I don't hide anything. How about you set a time and resign in five years?"
Zhou Junhu's remarks made some officials laugh and cry. These remarks did not sound like something that should be said in the court.
Chen Zhixu said: "Fang Xusheng, you seem to have forgotten that Liu Shan may make a comeback after his mourning period!"
Fang Yun stopped and Jing Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
The officials pondered in their hearts, thinking that this Grand Marshal was indeed extraordinary. Although he did not participate in political struggles and seldom attended court, his words were insightful and hit the nail on the head for what Fang Yun was most worried about.
"If Liu Shan could return to work, wouldn't you all be too incompetent?" Fang Yun asked bluntly.
Many officials smiled bitterly. Cao De'an said helplessly, "After all, he is Liu Shan. Apart from you, who in Quanjing can suppress him? No one can suppress him. After the mourning period, he is likely to be promoted to a great scholar. If he makes a comeback, Jingguo will be in danger."
Sai Zhixue said: "Before, there were few great scholars in Jingguo, so only university scholars were allowed to serve as left prime minister, right prime minister and assistant prime minister, and only the literary prime minister was a great scholar. But now that Wenqu has blessed the human race, the number of great scholars and university scholars has increased dramatically. My Jingguo will be like those big countries, with great scholars holding the position of prime minister, and university scholars in charge of the six ministries, nine ministers and various states. Once Liushan returns, if he uses his status as a Taoist master to compete for the position of left prime minister, what should we do?"
Fang Yun said: "It couldn't be simpler. Just let him lead the Jingguo soldiers to Liangjie Mountain!"
"You dare, but we don't!"
Many officials nodded gently. No one dared to underestimate Liu Shan. At that time, Liu Shan's power was not prominent, nor did he reveal his identity as a Taoist. He relied on himself to step by step to become the left prime minister and build his own party. Once Liu Shan became a great scholar, with the prestige of a Taoist, even if he was appointed to an idle position by the court, once Jingguo fell into crisis, he might be able to win over the officials in the court and eventually become stronger.
Jiang Hechuan said: "Not only is Liushan a hidden danger, the barbarians are equally dangerous. Without you, I don't know how long we can last."
The throne room was strangely silent.
Almost every official could sense something strange in Jiang Hechuan's tone.
In fact, after Chen Guanhai's incarnation was defeated by Langlu's incarnation, everyone had a deep sense of crisis. Although Jiang Hechuan did not mention Chen Guanhai, every word involved Chen Guanhai. Once Chen Guanhai died, Jingguo would have no half-saints, and the barbarians would go south again. The Jingguo royal family would last no more than a year before completely abdicating.
If Fang Yun, the virtual saint, was around, the situation could be delayed for a few years, perhaps until Fang Yun or someone else could be canonized.
Fang Yun smiled calmly and said, "Although I am no longer working in Jing State, I am still a Jing citizen, still the King of Ji of Jing State, and still have the honorary title of Grand Master. How can I ignore the barbarians heading south?"
Grand Marshal Chen Zhixu said: "If the name is not right, then the words will not flow. How about this, I will resign the post of Grand Marshal, and you will take over and join the army with a pen, how about that?"
"Great!" Cao Dean nodded with a smile.
"good!"
All the officials supported Chen Zhixu.
It stands to reason that powerful officials in charge of the military are the most feared, but many generals in the Jing Kingdom’s military are descendants or relatives of semi-saint families. Even if Fang Yun serves as the Grand Marshal, there is no possibility for him to seize power. Instead, serving as the Left Prime Minister is more worrying.
