The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Everyone, including Fang Yun, was shocked to hear someone making a petition on Zhang Poyue's behalf.

Fang Yun looked at the Jinshi general in surprise. If there was an urgent matter, Zhang Poyue's official seal could go directly to the Imperial Academy and even be passed to all officials. But now Zhang Poyue actually asked a general to make a petition on his behalf. Could something big have happened?

The Queen Mother was also a little nervous, and hurriedly asked: "What do you want to report on my behalf, Mr. Zhang?"

The general looked a little strange, and said in a serious tone: "General Zhang said that no matter whether it is Xiangzhou or other states, they have equal status in Jingguo. Fang Xusheng's fiefdom is in Xiangzhou, which is the hinterland of the human race. Being too isolated in a corner is a loss for the human race. In General Zhang's opinion, Fang Xusheng should be stationed in Mizhou, which can both resist the barbarians and destroy the old thieves... cough... Mizhou, which is a solid block. Finally, General Zhang suggested that Fang Xusheng's fiefdom of one county should be set up in Gu County, Mizhou."

While the general was speaking, everyone present was like Fang Yun, with blank eyes and wandering souls. They didn't understand what Zhang Poyue was up to. There was no need to ask someone to report on this matter, but when the word "Gu County" was mentioned, many officials couldn't help laughing.

Fang Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Gu County in Mizhou was Zhang Poyue's hometown!

Fang Yun finally understood that if Zhang Poyue sent a letter to Jiang Hechuan, the Minister of Literature, Jiang Hechuan would definitely ignore him just by looking at the content, so he sent the letter to a general with whom he had a very good relationship, so that the general could speak out in public.

Fang Yun shook his head. As expected of Zhang Poyue, who was even more worried when he saw others, he really tried his best to set up his fiefdom in Gu County.

Jiang Hechuan also looked like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Others might break their heads over the location of the fiefdom, but a great scholar didn't want to be fussy about this.

"Ahem... I think it's better for Fang Xusheng's fiefdom to be in Jiangzhou. However, it can't be Ji County. If it is set as a fiefdom, the power of the Fang family will be too great. I think it should be in Guo County of Yuhai Prefecture." Sai Shilang of the Ministry of Rites said.

Fang Yun glared at Sai Shilang unhappily. Guo County was his hometown.

"I think it's better to be in Mi County, which is close to the capital." Cao De'an, the right minister, said.

Cao De'an made his fortune in Mi County, and everyone knew it.

"No! It's still in Ju County..."

Then I saw those Hanlin and university officials speak out one after another, scrambling to ask Fang Yun to choose their hometown as the fiefdom as if they were scrambling for treasures.

The small officials looked at it with envy, the fiefdom of Xusheng was too important, if their hometown became a semi-saint fiefdom, it would be almost "one person becomes a saint, and the whole family will take the imperial examination."

The officials of the Zuo Xiang party either lowered their heads or looked into the distance, and were so angry that they couldn't speak. They thought that after Wen Xiang finished speaking, they would be attacked by other officials, but now, those officials have no interest in taking the opportunity to attack them.

Ji Zhibai stood there, his face turned green and red, and he couldn't understand why things turned out like this, but deep in his heart, there was a voice hoping that if he could get Fang Yun's understanding, if Fang Yun chose his county, then the entire Ji family might have a chance to become a wealthy family!

However, Ji Zhibai quickly suppressed this unrealistic idea. If he really dared to betray Liushan, he would die before the Ji family became a wealthy family.

Fang Yun thought these officials were joking at first, but soon found that they were serious. Some familiar people kept winking at him, hoping that he could help.

Not only that, officials from all over Jingguo sent him letters, hoping that he would go to their counties. Even the current county magistrate of Ji County sent a sincere letter, listing the benefits of Fang Yun setting up his fiefdom in Ji County.

Fang Yun saw that the officials were arguing fiercely, so he ignored them and sat down to drink and eat, preparing to tease the little fox, but found that the little fox had a new partner and could no longer take care of himself.

Three feet away, the ink turtle was still stubborn and was carrying the ink dragon and the ink girl to escape, but the little fox pressed it with one paw and teased the ink girl with the other paw.

The little fox was full of curiosity about the ink girl, and its furry little paws were very careful, for fear of hurting the ink girl.

Mo Nu seemed to feel the kindness of the little fox, stretched out her fingertips, and gently touched Nu Nu's little paw.

Mo Nu and Nu Nu's fingers and paws intertwined, and then looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Nu Nu lowered her head, pressed her forehead against Mo Nu, and shook it gently, very intimate.

Mo Nu also liked Nu Nu very much, and touched her head with the little fox.

The little fox put its big face in front of Mo Nu, sniffed hard with its pink little nose, and continued to look at Mo Nu with its big eyes.

The Mo Nu and the fox just stared at each other blankly, and neither of them felt bored.

The officials were still arguing, and finally annoyed the queen mother.

"I think that Fang Xusheng will choose any county in Xiangzhou as his fiefdom, and other places will not be considered! After the banquet, please ask Fang Xusheng to go to the cabinet and choose his own fiefdom. Go back to the palace!"

The officials had to shut up in dissatisfaction. They were very dissatisfied with the result, but they could do nothing about it.

After the Queen Mother and the young prince left, Fang Yun, surrounded by a group of officials, went to the Cabinet residence. No one left, and they all wanted to see where Fang Yun chose at the first time. The left prime minister was among them.

As for those who were not qualified to enter the cabinet at ordinary times, they followed behind this time. There were more than 300 people. There were more people at the banquet, but the palace was strictly guarded, and they didn't even have the right to follow the cabinet to watch the excitement.

Fang Yun walked into the cabinet courtyard. It was very wide, more than ten feet in radius, with some low shrubs and flowers, and even no rockery, and the view was very wide.

Going forward, you will reach the meeting hall of the cabinet, which can seat a hundred people, but at most only thirty or forty people can discuss matters at the same time, because the four cabinet ministers plus the cabinet councilors do not exceed forty in total.

Fang Yun walked into the meeting hall and came to a table with a map of Xiangzhou on it. The mountains were outlined in yellow, the waterways were outlined in blue, and the boundaries of each county were clear.

"Well, in my opinion, it is better to choose several counties with good ports near the Yangtze River. Those counties are not only large in area, but also have a large population and are particularly wealthy." Qiao Juze chimed in.

"It should be so." Right Prime Minister Cao De'an said.

"Brother Qiao is right." Fang Yun nodded and looked at the Yangtze River on the map.

Finally, Fang Yun pointed his finger at Tu County and was about to open his mouth to choose, but suddenly he felt that there was something wrong with the Wen Palace, and then he saw a white light flying out from his eyebrows, landing on the place called "Zhengde County" on the map, and then disappeared.

"Huh?" Fang Yun couldn't help but exclaimed, it was too strange.

"What's wrong?" Many people asked with concern.

Fang Yun was even more puzzled and asked: "You are all looking at the map. Did you find anything unusual just now?"

"No, nothing. I just saw your hand clearly pointing to Tu County, and then suddenly retracted your hand."

"Nothing. If there was, so many people would not have noticed it."

Fang Yun nodded and said: "Then I am dazzled."

However, a few people stared at Fang Yun closely, trying to find out what he was looking for on the map. They didn't believe that Fang Yun would be dazzled.
