The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1648 A day of drinking

Everyone in the court was talking a lot. As soon as Lei Konghe came out, the officials of the Left Prime Minister Party had a clear upper hand.

Suddenly, Fang Yun saw a familiar name on the discussion list, Li Fanming.

The title of Li Fanming's article is very short.

"What term is this?"

The content is also very short.

"I mean the head of the family."

Fang Yun smiled and thought that Li Fanming was really brave, but if he thought about it carefully, Li Fanming was still young when Lei Konghe dominated the human race. Maybe Lei Konghe had good friends with Li Fanming's elders.

However, even if Li Fanming was joking with Lei Konghe, he was obviously helping Fang Yun.

Lei Konghe's one sentence 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 supported Li Fanming one after another.

"Times have changed. Shengyuan Continent is no longer their world, but belongs to us young scholars!"

"So what about the greatest Confucian at that time? He didn't become a semi-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 Chongmo's uncle. He held Lei Chongmo in his arms and taught him how to read."

"If you have the ability, give Fang Xusheng thirty years, and you will definitely far surpass him!"

"I think ten years is enough."

Suddenly, a Lei family member interrupted.

"He boasted in Haikou that he would compose sixteen war poems in three years and become a master in the world. What happened? Last year, he was supposed to complete the three-year promise, but he quietly retreated into seclusion. Do you really think everyone has forgotten it? Thinking about it now, the saints of 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 wait until this year, the demon world will not have to spend a lot of time. "

This Lei family member immediately became the target of public criticism, and many scholars began to reprimand him.

Fang Yun looked at the man's name and glanced at it. The scholar from the Lei family who jumped to the Dragon Gate back then was now a member of the imperial examination.

After a full quarter of an hour, Assistant Prime Minister Si Yueqing coughed slightly and said loudly: "May I ask all the gentlemen in the hall, how to deal with the new head of the Lei family suing Fang Xusheng?"

The Queen Mother bent down and whispered a few words in the ear of the little king. Then she saw the little king raised his chest and raised his head and said loudly: "If you don't take the prince's title, it will be decided by you. I am a disciple of Fang Xusheng. How can I have a disciple?" The reason for judging our mentor? Please leave Si Aiqing to the Holy Court, and the Holy Court will handle it."

"this……"

Before Si Yueqing could finish his words, Jiang Hechuan nodded and said, "There is no yamen in Jingguo to judge Xu Sheng. In my opinion, it is better to leave it to the Holy Court to deal with it."

Cao De'an immediately said: "I think it would be better to leave it to the Holy Court."

The Queen Mother said: "There are two prime ministers in the cabinet who support leaving the matter to the Holy Court. What do the left prime minister and the assistant prime minister think? If the two prime ministers object, then as usual, if the cabinet is undecided, it will be decided by the monarch."

Si Yueqing showed a look of helplessness. Unless Tuqiong saw it, this step was already the limit. If the monarch and the queen mother were really forced to express their stance, it would not be as simple as a test, but another failure of the left prime minister's party in the court. .

As the deputy prime minister of a country, Si Yueqing knew very well that he could never take this last step.

Si Yueqing looked at Liu Shan. Liu Shan still maintained his original appearance, lowering his eyelids slightly and paying no attention to everything going on in the court meeting.

"In this case, in the future, if there is another person in Jingguo who cannot be punished, he should be handed over to the Holy Court, no matter what his status is in Jingguo." Si Yueqing said reluctantly at the end.

Cao De'an said with a smile: "Of course, if there is another false saint in Jingguo, we will naturally not be able to control him."

"Hmph." Si Yueqing snorted coldly and took a step back.

Si Yueqing retreated, and the officials from the Left Prime Minister Party knowingly stopped arguing.

"Since there is nothing to do, leave the court."

The civil and military officials from all over the court left the Jinluan Palace in neat lines. Before they had gone far, the old eunuch beside the Queen Mother trotted all the way.

"Fang Xusheng, please stay." The old eunuch shouted breathlessly as he ran.

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 next to Fang Yun, saluted first, and then took a few deep breaths, and then said: "The Queen Mother ordered this old slave to ask Mr. Xu Sheng, if you have free time in the next few days, can you come to the palace for advice? Let’s talk about His Majesty’s studies. Your Majesty is still young, but he has already started to learn some elementary reading materials such as The Three Character Classic and The Rhymes of the Fox. He looks forward to you being his teacher every day and giving him lessons.”

Fang Yun smiled and nodded, and said: "Speaking of which, the little king has reached the age of enlightenment. There seems to be nothing important in Xiangzhou now, so it doesn't matter if we go a few days later."

"Old slave, thank you on behalf of the king!" The old eunuch said happily.

After bidding farewell to the old eunuch, Fang Yun left the palace. Outside the gate, many officials were standing, headed by Jiang Hechuan and Cao De'an, who were all opposed to the Left Prime Minister Party.

"Fang Xusheng, as colleagues, we should get together frequently, but you are lucky enough to travel all over the world. It's better to choose a different day. I think I'm going to be the host today, so how about we get together at a nearby restaurant?" Cao De'an? Looking at Fang Yun with a smile, his slightly chubby face looked very kind.

Fang Yun looked a little embarrassed, smiled, and said: "Since entering the capital, I rarely drink with my colleagues. Prime Minister Cao said well, it's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's drink together today, and we won't come back until we are drunk! please!"

"please!"

Everyone responded and left with a smile.

Prime Minister Cao chose Deyue Building, a place frequented by officials in the capital, and rented the third floor. More than 20 officials gathered together, drinking and chatting from noon.

The news that Fang Yun was drinking with the officials spread, and 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 the people did not talk about poetry and articles. The topics were varied. At first, they just chatted about the situation of various countries, then talked about the creatures of the Ten Thousand Worlds, and then talked about the affairs of Jing State. At night, they had almost talked about everything, so they started to talk about some unofficial history secrets and private rumors.

Although everyone was usually high and mighty, they were officials after all, and were very interested in some things. Everyone had heard a lot of interesting things, so they started to chat one by one, such as how many wives and concubines Hua Jun had, such as which house Liu Shan had spent the night in when he was young, such as the fact that King Kang was discovered by the princess to have an affair with his niece, such as the embarrassing things done by the former left prime minister, and so on.

Various secrets broke out one after another, and most of the time everyone smiled slightly and understood, but there were also some facts that were really interesting and caused laughter.

The banquet ended late at night.

It was not until today that some officials felt that Fang Yun had officially integrated into the officials of Jing State.

Fang Yun drank a lot of wine, but he did not use his talent to force out the drunkenness, and was a little drunk.

Fang Yun felt that this state was quite good, as if his feet were stepping on soft cotton, and his mind often had a short blank. Although he occasionally felt dizzy, it was very comfortable.

Back in Quanyuan, Fang Yun leaned on a chair, thinking wildly, enjoying this rare feeling.

For Fang Yun, drinking a glass of wine was almost an indulgence.

An hour later, Fang Yun suddenly had a shock of literary courage, forcing out all the drunkenness.

Fang Yun's eyes brightened instantly.

"It's almost time, time waits for no one..."

Fang Yun thought to himself, took out a semi-saint's work and began to read it carefully.
