Not long after the light of the imperial edict dissipated, the ranking list became lively. The news of Fang Yun and the Dongsheng Pavilion spread all over the world.
At this time, the king of Jingguo was still in the capital, under the care of Marshal Chen Zhixu. Jingguo's Empress Dowager and most of the officials had arrived in Ning 'an City.
The county government of Ning 'an City became the Throne Room. The Empress Dowager sat on the main seat, and the civil and military officials lined up on both sides.
Just now, the officials were still arguing about whether to send troops to rescue Fang Yun. After the imperial edict was interrupted, the county government hall was silent for a long time.
After dozens of breaths, Mount Liu slowly stood up. His face was pale as he glanced at the officials. Finally, he saluted the Empress Dowager and said, "Fang Yun killed the Special Envoy of the Dongsheng Pavilion. This is treason! I think Fang Yun is no longer suitable to be the Governor of the two provinces. He should be removed from the throne and sent to the Notre-Dame! "
Left Prime Minister Mount Liu had officially made his move!
"I agree!" Gu Mingzhou, the Minister of Personnel, stood up and said.
"I agree!"
…
The officials of the Left Prime Minister's party stood up one after another.
Minister Kang Ha-chuan and the other officials did not know what to do for a moment. They sat still and did not move.
Until now, no one knew what happened to the Notre-Dame. They did not even know why Fang Yun killed the Special Envoy of the Dongsheng Pavilion.
Even though Kang Ha-chuan was a great scholar, he was confused.
The Empress Dowager was wearing a phoenix coronet and a thin veil covering her face. No one could see her face.
"Why did Minister Liu suddenly impeach Fang Xusheng?" The Empress Dowager's voice spread throughout the county government hall. Kang Ha-chuan and the other officials immediately came to their senses. The Empress Dowager asked the question while knowing the answer.
Mount Liu said seriously, "Fang Yun has committed a heinous crime. Jingguo must send him to the Notre-Dame. Otherwise, the Notre-Dame will be angry, and Jingguo will face a disaster."
Kang Ha-chuan sat in the armchair and said, "Minister Liu, you are wrong! If the Notre-Dame is angry, she will go to Fang Xusheng. What does it have to do with us? Moreover … the Notre-Dame has just angered us. "
Jiang Hechuan's last sentence was rather amusing, but no one laughed.
Gu Mingzhou, the Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, said, "Needless to say, the Light of the Imperial Edict has been interrupted this time. Although the Notre-Dame has not been issued, everyone knows the danger involved. Moreover, the outcome is still uncertain. The Old Man has heard that the Zong family and Fang Yun are irreconcilable. If Jingguo does not punish Fang Yun, the Zong family will take revenge. "
"Minister Gu, you are only afraid of the Zong family. Do you not care about the five Half-saint families of Jingguo?" General Zhou Junhu asked.
"The five Half-saint families of Jingguo will not take revenge on Jingguo. I don't care!" Gu Mingzhou said.
"Oh, you don't care about the Half-saint who stopped the Notre-Dame? You have the Zong family behind you, but we Jingguo officials do not! "Zhou Junhu said sarcastically.
The expressions of the Left Minister's party changed slightly. Gu Mingzhou's expression did not change. He said, "In the Imperial Court, there is no arguing. We only discuss the affairs of the country. Although I don't know how the Half-saint fights, since I helped Fang Xusheng, I will naturally help Jingguo. Even if we take away Fang Xusheng's position, the Half-saint will not punish us. "
"Mencius said that a gentleman can be deceived. Minister Gu is better than Mencius. I admire you for using Mencius's way to deal with the Half-saint! "Zhou Junhu retorted.
Mount Liu coughed lightly to stop the two from arguing. He said, "Your Highness, I am the leader of the officials. Fang Yun's actions are against the law, so I will step forward to impeach him! I ask the Empress Dowager to issue an edict to remove Fang Yun's title as the Prince of Ji and take back Fang Yun's position as the Governor-General for two weeks. Otherwise, if the Half-saint gets angry and causes a rebellion or even a mutiny, who will bear the responsibility? "
Kang Ha-chuan said, "Minister Liu, you believe that Fang Xusheng killed the Special Envoy without reason, and the Old Man believes that there is a reason for it. No one can convince the other. The outcome is not set yet, and the Notre-Dame has not issued an official document yet. The impeachment is too hasty. In the Old Man's opinion, it is better to wait and see. When the Notre-Dame issues an official document confirming that Fang Xusheng is guilty, then you can start the impeachment. What do you think? "
Mount Liu said seriously, "The Notre-Dame has the Notre-Dame's law, and Jingguo has the Jingguo's law. As the Governor-General of two provinces, Fang Yun killed the Special Envoy of the Dongsheng Pavilion without any consideration for the future of Jingguo. He also attracted the enemy of the Half-saint for Jingguo. No matter what the outcome is, he is not suitable to serve in Jingguo. What's more, the Dongsheng Pavilion is very clear about the crime of arresting the Notre-Dame. Fang Yun bypassed the Notre-Dame and transferred troops from the Nu Zhi tribe. He has already violated the law of the Notre-Dame. How can such an official serve in Jingguo? "
"Since we are talking about the Jingguo's law …"
The two sides argued fiercely. Not long after, the county yamen became a place of debate. Many people with lower positions were dizzy listening to it.
The officials of the Left Prime Minister's party tried their best to impeach Fang Yun, but the other officials tried their best to stop them.
If it was an ordinary official, the Minister of Personnel, Gu Mingzhou, could make the decision. But now that Fang Yun was involved, he had to first obtain the approval of the Cabinet. As long as any of the Four Prime Ministers objected, Mount Liu would not be able to successfully impeach him.
However, Mount Liu personally made the officials who supported Fang Yun extremely vigilant. They tried their best to stop him, afraid that they would be tricked by Mount Liu.
After a long discussion, Mount Liu suddenly shouted angrily, "Fang Yun overstepped his authority to command the Nu Zhi tribe and killed the Special Envoy of the Dongsheng Pavilion. Why did you turn a blind eye to it? If you don't punish Fang Yun, there is no one in the world who can be blamed! The Old Man is dedicated to Jingguo and even offended the Patriarch of the Zong family. Since you are so dedicated, the Old Man will not care! Take a look at the official document that the Dongsheng Pavilion just sent to me! "
Then, Mount Liu held the official seal in his hand and showed the official document sent by the Dongsheng Pavilion.
In the official document, the Dongsheng Pavilion demanded that Jingguo give an explanation to the Dongsheng Pavilion. Otherwise, the Dongsheng Pavilion would punish Jingguo at all costs.
None of the Notre-Dame Halls could punish a country. Only the Dongsheng Pavilion could.
When the Dongsheng Pavilion released the official document, the civil and military officials panicked. They were not Fang Yun and did not dare to go against the Dongsheng Pavilion.
Kang Ha-chuan sneered and said, "Fang Xusheng went north and south to save the millions of soldiers of Jingguo. No matter what, we can't let him down! As for the so-called explanation, when have the people of Jingguo ever been afraid of the Gyeongo family? "
Once again, both sides fell into a long argument.
While the Ning An County government was in an uproar, the Barbarian army began their pursuit again.
Ao Xuan smiled viciously and said, "Your Highness Wolf Plains, if I'm not wrong, the human race will fall into internal strife because of Fang Yun. Ning An City will be easily conquered."
Wolf Plains looked at Fang Yun's back and said, "What a pity! If Niu Shan is brought to the Notre-Dame, I will not be able to stop him. I will go directly to capture Fang Yun. Now that we are getting closer to Ning An City, we don't have much time left. If we can't conquer these millions of soldiers, our morale will be damaged while the human race's morale will be boosted. This will be very disadvantageous for the battle of Ning An City. Everyone, if any of you have a plan to deal with the human race, you will be greatly rewarded! "
The Barbarian Kings looked at each other. None of them could think of a good plan.
"Let's meet up with the reinforcements for now!"
Wolf Plains sighed and contacted the reinforcements of the Five Demon Mountain and the Barbarian Forest.
Not long after, the two sides converged into a small but extremely terrifying army.
The total number of Great Barbarian Kings and Great Monster Kings was more than 150, and the number of Barbarian Kings was more than 1,000.
Both sides communicated as they chased after the humans. Soon, Ao Xuan said, "Your Highness Wolf Plains, why don't we use the strategy we discussed before? Send 20 Great Barbarian Kings to guard this place and protect the soldiers. The rest of the Great Barbarian Kings and Great Monster Kings will follow you to chase after Fang Yun!"
