The Path of the Sage

Chapter 746: A great gift from the Chen family!

"this… "

All the officials were shocked.

Although officials from various places saw almost real images after entering the Fengtian Hall and seemed to be in the Fengtian Hall in Beijing, outside the door of the officials from other places were the local academies of literature, and no one outside the Fengtian Hall in Beijing could be seen.

"What's wrong? What happened?" officials from other places asked one after another.

"Many great scholars and great scholars came. There was Marshal Zhixu, the head of the Chen family, and the beggar uncle..."

The Left Prime Minister took a look outside the Fengtian Palace and then turned back, his expression not changing at all.

However, other Left Party officials looked worried.

Especially Ji Zhibai, his face turned pale as he thought of a terrible possibility.

Clear out the emperor’s side.

Once these people kill all the left-wing prime minister's party members under the banner of clearing the court, the Holy Court will at most give them a slight punishment, and it will definitely not impose a heavy punishment because this is the government affairs of each country.

These people not only have enough reasons to purge the emperor's side, but they also have enough power to do so.

The appearance of the beggar uncle Zhao Jingkong made the officials of King Kang's party dejected.

Zhao Jingkong indeed had no power of his own, and even did not participate in government affairs to avoid suspicion. He was focused on developing in the Holy Academy, and his actual power in Jing State was far less than that of King Kang.

However, Zhao Jingkong is the banner of the Jingguo royal family!

Especially the royal family members under the age of 40, almost grew up hearing the name of Zhao Jingkong, and Zhao Jingkong is their role model.

The talents of the royal families of the ten countries are dwindling, because this involves the destiny of the country and the destiny of the human race, dividing the ten countries and suppressing the royal family was the strategy set by the saints in the past, and it is still continuing today.

Among the royal families of the Ten Kingdoms, even if some people left the royal family and devoted themselves to seeking the holy way, few could become grand secretaries, but Zhao Jingkong became a grand secretary very early.

It can even be said that at least 50% of the reason why King Kang was unable to completely win over all the royal family members was because he was afraid of Zhao Jingkong.

Even though Zhao Jingkong had been removed from the royal family and was no longer a member of the royal family.

If Prince Kang dared to join other members of the royal family in forcing the Queen Mother and the King, as long as Zhao Jingkong opposed it, more than half of the royal family would defect.

The appearance of Jing State Marshal Chen Zhixu made the generals secretly breathe a sigh of relief and regain their confidence.

Chen Zhixu was extremely tall, two heads taller than an average adult. He walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and his face was sharp and angular, as if it had been cut by a knife or an axe. His skin was bronze, with a strange metallic texture, and his pupils were black and bright. He looked particularly spirited.

This man was clearly wearing an ordinary blue university scholar's robe, but everyone who saw him would have a strange illusion, always feeling that the robe was making the metallic sound of armour shaking.

Chen Zhixu is the number one man in Jingguo and has a very high prestige in the army. He is also the only scholar in Jingguo who masters the power of the military soul!

The appearance of Chen Zhixu frightened the Zuo Xiang party, leading more people to speculate that these people were here to purge the emperor's side.

Ji Zhibai looked increasingly anxious, and kept stealing glances at his mentor Liu Shan.

Liu Shan, however, had a magnanimity that Ji Zhibai did not possess, and he did not show any sign of panic. He was just like he usually was when he was in court.

Soon, this powerful group of scholars entered the Fengtian Hall and walked inside.

Led by Chen Mingding, everyone bowed to Fang Yun and said, "Greetings to Fang Xusheng."

"You're welcome." Fang Yun nodded with a smile.

"Greetings to the King and the Queen Mother." Everyone faced the dragon throne.

"My dear ministers, there is no need to be so polite." The Queen Mother's voice came from behind the curtain.

Ou Mo bowed to the newcomers and said, "I greet all the seniors. But, King Wang Guoyin is in charge of the internal affairs of Jing State. If you don't have a real position in Jing State, you can't participate in politics. I wonder what you are here for?"

"Oh? Minister Ou, do you want to expel us from Fengtian Palace?" Old Master Chen Mingding smiled kindly. He didn't have the arrogance of a family head at all, but seemed to be chatting with a junior.

But Ou Mo was frightened and instinctively looked towards Liu Shan, as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw when drowning.

Liu Shan did not move, as if he did not see Ou Mo's call for help.

Ou Mo wanted to cry but had no tears. Not to mention that he was only the Vice Minister of Personnel, even if he was the Minister of Personnel, he would have to pack up and flee Jing State if he offended the head of a Semi-Saint family.

The reason why the Left Prime Minister Liu Shan is as stable as a rock in Jing State is that he never provokes the Semi-Saint families. Even if there are conflicts between the two sides, he can resolve them without shame.

The Void Saint cannot fight against the solid bureaucratic system, but if the Saints' families disregard their dignity, they can create a hole in the bureaucracy.

If the rules of the chess game are followed, even the aristocratic families cannot defeat the combined power of a country's bureaucrats. However, the aristocratic families have the ability to overturn the chess game once or twice occasionally.

Ou Mo felt extremely frustrated. Fortunately, Liu Shan had the support of Zongsheng. If Liu Shan did not have the support of the saint families, the Chen family would have easily taken him down and kicked him out of Jingguo's chess game.

However, when the time came, Ou Mo had no choice.

"I don't think so, but the Jingguo Law cannot be violated, and the etiquette cannot be violated. I request that irrelevant people leave Fengtian Hall as soon as possible to avoid delaying important matters."

Chen Mingding smiled slightly and said nothing. Strange smiles also appeared on the faces of the others.

Ou Mo looked at Liu Shan again.

Liu Shan finally turned around and bowed to Chen Mingding, saying, "This humble official greets the great scholar Mingding and all of you. However, what is your purpose in attending court at this time?"

Chen Mingding smiled and said, "Liu Shan, why don't we reopen the cabinet to make a decision? Some people were confused before and mistakenly voted against it. If we can reopen the cabinet to make a decision, the votes will definitely exceed 70%."

Fang Yun looked at Chen Mingding in surprise. These words seemed to be a discussion, but in fact they were telling the Left Prime Minister that the cabinet decision must be restarted, and the Left Prime Minister must agree, otherwise Chen Mingding would not be polite!

Chen Mingding was confident.

Ji Zhibai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. The matter was too obvious. Once Liu Shan rejected Chen Mingding, the consequences would be disastrous. It would most likely lead to a purge of the imperial court, blood-stained Fengtian Palace, and death in February.

Liu Shan also smiled faintly and said, "The cabinet's decision has been made and it cannot be changed! If Ming Ding Da Ru has nothing to do, he should leave Fengtian Hall, so as to avoid being accused of interfering in politics."

Many officials raised their eyebrows, and Fang Yun also looked at Liu Shan seriously. Although the two were like water and fire, Fang Yun had to admit that Liu Shan was very courageous and no ordinary university scholar could be compared with him.

Some officials sighed softly. Since Liu Shan's attitude was so tough, these newcomers would be powerless to change the situation, unless they launched a campaign to purge the court of evildoers. However, the consequence of such a campaign would be civil strife in Jing State, which would definitely not survive this winter.

Chen Mingding smiled and said, "We are not here to interfere in government affairs in Fengtian Palace. It's just that the Chen family promised to give Fang Xusheng a gift that day, and we will fulfill our promise today."

When Fang Yun won the battle of Yizhou and defeated the Xun family, at the celebration banquet, the Chen family said that the head of the Chen family had prepared a big gift for Fang Yun.

After that, the Chen family never mentioned it again, and Fang Yun didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, today the head of the Chen family, Chen Mingding, not only mentioned it, but also came to the Fengtian Hall in person to give gifts.

Liu Shan's eyes fixed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.

Fang Yun stood up slowly.

Chen Mingding touched the Yinjiangbei and took out a rolled-up vertical scroll. The two wooden shafts were black. He raised it slightly and held the upper wooden shaft, while the lower wooden shaft rolled down naturally, unfolding the scroll.

It seemed as if there was a sun hidden in the book, and endless golden light burst out, illuminating the entire Fengtian Hall with brilliant splendor.
