The residence of Right Prime Minister Cao De'an.
After being promoted to a great scholar, Cao De'an was supposed to go to an ancient place to practice, but because the Battle of Ning'an caused chaos in Jing State, Cao De'an wanted to stabilize the court with the officials, so he stayed.
After the Battle of Ning'an, the royal family wanted to let Cao De'an gain experience, but Cao De'an actually went through the channels of a friend in the Holy Academy and obtained an imperial edict.
According to the rules established in the early years, if the country or the human race is in an emergency war situation after becoming a great scholar, participating in the war and making meritorious contributions is equivalent to an experience in the ancient land.
The scale of the Ning'an Battle and the great achievements made are extremely rare in the Shengyuan Continent. Any great scholar who participated in this battle can be equivalent to an experience in the ancient land, so Cao De'an has served as the right prime minister to this day.
Cao De'an was reluctant to leave, and everyone in the court knew the reason.
Cao De'an became famous when he was young, but suffered some setbacks after middle age. After a long period of ups and downs in the court and repeated suppression by the Left Prime Minister, his temperament had changed, his edges had been smoothed out, his sharpness had been lost, his potential had been exhausted, and he no longer wanted to make further progress in his literary position.
He is not short of money, so he will definitely focus on power next.
Being promoted from Right Prime Minister to Left Prime Minister will be his biggest goal.
However, Cao De'an has been operating in Jingguo for a long time, and has many students and old friends. He also has good friends in Shengyuan, and has been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for many years. If he is appointed as the left prime minister in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, he will definitely become the second Liu Shan.
Therefore, the relationship between the royal family and Cao De'an has now reached a freezing point.
But not long ago, Fang Yun, a representative of the Fang Party, presented Cao De'an with three holy apricots, allowing Cao De'an to enter a realm of self-cultivation from a newly promoted great scholar. This made the relationship between Cao De'an and the Fang Party increasingly close.
Cao De'an's subordinates even secretly conveyed on Cao De'an's behalf that if Fang Dang supported his promotion to the position of Left Prime Minister and took control of the Ministry of Personnel, which was responsible for the promotion of officials, they would give up some important positions in the Ministry of Revenue to Fang Dang, and even promise him the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
If Fang Yun was appointed as the left prime minister, Cao De'an would naturally not fight for him, because Fang Yun's position was too important, and the title of a virtual saint was enough to suppress all the thoughts of the Cao party. After all, most of the Cao party officials had seen Fang Yun's divine power in Ning'an City and on Yueyang Tower. The lord of the ancient land, the ability of a saint, was beyond the reach of the Cao party.
Moreover, even the dumbest officials understood that Fang Yun had a great potential. If he did not follow the path of a mediocre person, he would never stay in the court. His goal must be to be canonized. Even if Cao's party gave in, it would only take three to five years.
If Fang Yun does not serve as the left prime minister, it will be great news for Cao De'an.
However, the royal family forced Cao De'an, who should have been promoted to the left prime minister, to be promoted, which angered many Cao party officials.
At daybreak, a man rushed into Cao's residence.
The hall of Cao's mansion was brightly lit, as if it were a festive occasion, and many Cao party officials were conversing.
The man took a few quick steps and whispered in Cao De'an's ear.
After a moment, Cao De'an's face darkened, and then he snorted coldly.
The whole room was silent.
"Master, is there a change in the political situation?"
Cao De'an said slowly: "The Queen Mother wants to transfer Mr. Qingkong to the position of Left Prime Minister."
The ancient sword of clear sky is Jiang Hechuan's tongue sword.
"This is too much!" a Jinshi shouted angrily.
Everyone in the room was furious.
"Empress Lu's heart is like a hen crowing at dawn. A monster has emerged in the Kingdom of Jing!" An old Hanlin twirled his beard and sneered.
"The Kingdom of Jing was revived by Saint Fang Xu, but now it is about to perish at the hands of a demon!"
"Is this Shengyuan Continent owned by scholars or by the Zhao family?"
"Be careful with your words." Cao Dean swept the entire audience with a majestic gaze, and everyone fell silent.
There was not a trace of cowardice or fear in the eyes of the right prime minister known as the clay sculpture.
Someone else asked, "Does the Minister of Literature agree?"
Cao De'an said: "It seems he is still undecided."
The main hall was silent again.
After a long time, Cao De'an suddenly smiled, looked at the sky that was about to brighten, and said, "Saint Fang Xu is hosting a banquet for all the officials in Xiangzhou today. It's a good day."
The officials were stunned, not knowing why Cao De'an suddenly mentioned this matter.
After a few breaths, Cao De'an said, "I feel a little unwell. I heard that there is a miracle doctor in Xiangzhou, so I immediately stepped on the cloud to seek treatment. I will be back tomorrow. Let's go today."
After Cao De'an finished speaking, he stood up and left, walking into the back hall.
Everyone hurriedly stood up to see him off, and when Cao De'an left, the main hall was in an uproar.
"What does the Prime Minister mean?"
"What famous doctor is only available in Xiangzhou?"
"Of course it's the person who returned from the Sacred Burial Valley."
"Does Cao Gong want to see Fang Zhenguo?"
"As expected of you, Prime Minister Cao! Fang Xusheng is hosting a banquet for all the officials today. Mobilizing so many troops is like planting a phoenix tree to attract the phoenix! If Prime Minister Cao hadn't come south, we wouldn't have known the magic of this."
"In this case, Prime Minister Cao will not fight for the position of Left Prime Minister?"
"Since Fang Xusheng is aiming for the imperial court, there is only one other position worthy of him except the position of Left Prime Minister."
"That makes sense. My teacher has always respected Fang Xusheng and has said privately before that if Fang Xusheng wishes to ask for the position of Left Prime Minister, he will bow and yield the position and will never fight for it."
"Alas, since Fang Xusheng is here, we won't fight anymore. It's just a little regrettable."
"Why do you feel regretful? Would you rather let your mentor fight with Fang Xu Sheng or with the Wen Xiangjia royal family?"
"It seems more appropriate to fight with the latter."
"Wrong, that is, no one wants to fight! Fang Xusheng is a genius, and now he is already a great scholar of the fourth realm. How many years can he stay in the court?"
"But now the whole world is talking about Fang Xusheng's serious illness. Just a few days ago, news came from the Holy Academy that the great scholar of the Medical Hall had personally diagnosed and treated Fang Xusheng. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to return to his peak."
"If Fang Xusheng is seriously ill, how long can he remain in power?"
"So that's it! So that's it! Regardless of whether Fang Xusheng is sick or healthy, he won't stay in the position of Left Prime Minister for too long. He is really seriously ill, I'm afraid he needs a mentor even more!"
The door of Li Wenying's mansion was closed. Everyone waited outside for a whole night and then had to disperse.
Sai Zhixue secretly arrived at Zhang's house and found out that Zhang Poyue had already gone to Xiangzhou. Sai Zhixue gritted his teeth, secretly left the capital, and headed straight for Yueyang City.
After sending and receiving a few letters, the members of the Chinese Communist Party in the capital fell asleep peacefully. However, they were soon awakened by the endless stream of visitors and had to receive them.
The capital city was sleepless that night.
During the day, Shengyuan Continent became lively, while the officialdom of Jing Kingdom became exceptionally quiet.
After the sun set, the Governor's Mansion in Yueyang City, Xiangzhou, began to become lively.
Soon, many Xiangzhou officials who attended the banquet discovered that in addition to people from Xiangzhou, there were many officials from all over the country. Those who could rise to high positions came riding on the clouds, and those who could not also joined forces to invest in the use of the Feiye air boat.
Everyone thought that something big was going to happen at this banquet, but unexpectedly, the night was peaceful and calm. Fang Xusheng really just treated it as an ordinary banquet. He sat in the Wuhou carriage, drank and chatted with everyone, and did not mention any political affairs.
If there was anything different about this banquet, it was that the wine and food consumed were mixed with a large amount of magical objects, so that overnight, many people were promoted in literary status, their literary courage broke through, and their strength increased greatly.
Those who did not attend the banquet once again beat their chests and stamped their feet in regret.
After the banquet, Fang Yun went back to the back hall to rest, but he didn't see anyone.
Everyone seemed to treat it as just an ordinary banquet and dispersed.
On the second day, Cao De'an, the right prime minister of Jing State, wrote a letter to King Jing, asking him to appoint Fang Yun as the left prime minister of Jing State. If he was not allowed, he would retire and return home.
Sai Zhixue of the Hanlin Academy also made the request, saying that if it was not approved, he would resign.
All officials in Mizhou made the same request, and if it was not approved, they would retire.
All officials in Xiangzhou made the same request, and if it was not approved, they would resign and return home.
Zhang Poyue also suggested that if it was not allowed, he would flee to the State of Wu to hunt down monsters and barbarians.
…
Memorials came into the cabinet like snowflakes.
Above the capital, there are clouds of wild geese.
