Even the Imperial Censors, who claimed to have the strongest backbones among the officials, did not stand up to criticize Fang Yun.
Fang Yun had almost single-handedly expelled the powerful Mount Liu from the Imperial Court. He had done something that none of the officials and generals in the Imperial Court could do. Who dared to oppose Fang Yun?
In the throne room, Fang Yun, who was sitting on the armchair, was particularly eye-catching.
Fang Yun nodded slightly and said, "From today onwards, I will resign from all my official positions in Jingguo."
The officials were shocked. Jing Jun was stunned.
No one expected that Fang Yun, who had defeated Mount Liu at the peak of his power, would resign.
Many people's expressions changed as they pondered.
In Jingguo, Fang Yun not only had an official position, but he also had the title of Prince and fief. He also had a series of titles such as Grand Preceptor. Even if he resigned from his official positions such as Governor of two provinces, it would not affect Fang Yun's prestige. However, without an official position with real power, Fang Yun would fall into two extremes in the future when he spoke and did things in Jing Country. On some matters, he couldn't say a single word to avoid interfering with the court, but on other matters, he could speak freely without any misgivings about the feelings of the officials and the imperial family.
The most important thing was that no one knew whether Fang Yun was still luring the snake out of its hole.
At this time, the Empress Dowager's voice came from behind the curtain.
"Fang Xusheng, please reconsider. You are the cornerstone of Jingguo, the pillar of the heavens. If Jingguo loses you, Jingguo will collapse."
The young Jing Jun immediately stood up and said with a distressed expression, "Teacher, are you going to abandon me?"
Some of the officials' eyes flashed. For a moment, they did not know whether the Empress Dowager and Jing Jun were sincere or not.
There was no need for Fang Yun to say anything. The imperial family would definitely attack the Left Prime Minister's party at all costs. After that, there was only one faction that could truly go against the imperial family. That was the new faction that was privately known as the Ji King's party, also known as the Peaceful Party.
Apart from the Peace Party, although there were many factions in the imperial court, most of them were relatively loose. For example, in the military, there were actually more than ten factions of various sizes. There were also many civil officials and literary schools, but they were previously known as the Royalist Party.
But now that the so-called royalists no longer existed, the various factions were absolutely powerless against the royal family.
Only the Ning An Party was an exception.
At this moment, the Peace Party was indeed far inferior to the Left Minister's Party in terms of the number of officials spread out, but in terms of future trends and true power, it was still above the Left Minister's Party. If Fang Yun wanted to forcefully take over the position of Left Prime Minister, he would have to become a powerful official who could suppress the royal family.
All of the officials knew that with the disappearance of the Left Minister's Party, Fang Yun would inevitably become the target of the royal family's vigilance.
Half-saint might not seize the power of a country, but great Confucian scholars were different. In the past, many of those who seized power were great Confucian scholars. If Fang Yun coveted the throne, he could easily get it in five years.
Apart from the Empress Dowager and Jing Jun, none of the civil and military officials spoke. Because even the great Confucian scholars present did not know whether Fang Yun or the royal family was sincere or not.
But one thing was certain. After Mount Liu left, the royal family did not want to see any powerful official. But if Fang Yun resigned, it would be extremely disadvantageous for Jingguo.
The atmosphere in the Throne Room was unprecedentedly strange.
Fang Yun smiled as if he had already anticipated this situation. He stood up and slowly walked out.
But the Empress Dowager cried out, "Fang Xusheng, don't leave!"
Jing Jun was stunned for a moment. Then, he lifted his yellow robe and ran down the stairs. Finally, he grabbed Fang Yun's sleeves and pulled him back.
"Esteemed teacher, please don't abandon your student." Jing Jun pleaded in a tearful voice, his eyes red.
Many scholars were moved by this scene. Although the child was young, he was still the ruler of a country. His sincerity was evident by his pleading.
Kang Ha-chuan sighed and said, "Fang Yun, stay. Jingguo can't do without you."
"Fang Xusheng, what are you doing? It's a good thing that Mount Liu left. After the war with the barbarians, Jingguo needs you the most. Your achievements in Ning 'an and Xiangzhou are well known to us. If you can take over the government, Jingguo will definitely prosper. We're all boorish people, so we won't hide anything. Why don't you set a time and retire in five years? "
Some officials did not know whether to laugh or cry. This was not something that should be said in court.
Chen Zhixu said, "Fang Xusheng, you seem to have forgotten that after Mount Liu dies, he can make a comeback!"
Fang Yun stopped in his tracks. Jing Jun sighed in relief.
The officials pondered in their hearts. This marshal was indeed not ordinary. Although he did not participate in political battles and rarely attended court, his words were insightful and directly hit the point that Fang Yun was most worried about.
"If Mount Liu returns, won't you all be too incompetent?" Fang Yun asked bluntly.
The officials smiled bitterly. Cao Dean said helplessly, "He's Mount Liu after all. Other than you, who else in Jingguo can suppress him? No one can. After he dies, it's very likely that he will become a great scholar. If he makes a comeback, Jingguo will be in danger. "
Sai Zhixue said, "In the past, there were very few great scholars in Jingguo. Therefore, only great scholars were allowed to be the Left Minister, Right Minister, and Assistant Minister. Only great scholars were allowed to be the Minister of Culture. However, now that culture has blessed the human race, the number of great scholars and great scholars has increased dramatically. Jingguo will be like those big countries. The great scholars will be in charge of the Minister of Culture, while the great scholars will be in charge of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers. Once Liu Shan returns, what should we do if he regains the position of Left Minister as a Dao Enforcer? "
Fang Yundao said, "It's simple. Let him lead Jingguo's army to the Two Worlds Mountain!"
"You may dare, but we don't!"
The officials nodded gently. No one dared to underestimate Mount Liu. Back then, Mount Liu's power was not prominent, and he did not reveal his identity as a Dao Guardian. He relied on himself to become the Minister of the Left and established his own faction. Once Mount Liu became a great scholar, he would have the power of a Dao Guardian. If Jingguo was in danger, he would be able to win over the officials in the imperial court.
Kang Ha-chuan said, "Not only is Mount Liu a threat, but the barbarians are also in danger. Without you, we don't know how long we can last. "
The throne room was strangely silent.
Almost every official felt something was wrong from Kang Ha-chuan's tone.
Actually, after Chen Guanhai's clone was defeated by Lang Lu's clone, everyone felt a deep sense of danger. Although Kang Ha-chuan did not mention Chen Guanhai, every word he said was related to Chen Guanhai. Once Chen Guanhai died, Jingguo would have no Half-saint. Then, the barbarians would invade the South again. Jingguo's royal family would only be able to hold on for a year before abdicating.
If there was Fang Yun, Xusheng, they could hold on for a few years until Fang Yun or someone else became a Saint.
Fang Yun smiled faintly and said, "Although I don't hold a position in Jingguo, I'm still a citizen of Jingguo. I'm still Jingguo's Prince Ji, and I still have the title of Imperial Tutor. How can I ignore the barbarians invading the South? "
Grand Marshal Chen Zhixu said, "If the title is not legitimate, then the words will not follow. How about this, I'll step down from my position as Grand Marshal, and you'll take over. What do you think? "
"Great!" Cao Dean smiled and nodded.
"That's right!"
All the officials supported Chen Zhixu.
Logically speaking, a powerful official in charge of the army was the most feared. However, many of the generals in Half-saint's army were descendants of Half-saint families or in-laws. Even if Fang Yun became Grand Marshal, it was impossible for him to seize power. Instead, it was more worrying for him to become the Left Prime Minister.
He pushed a friend's novel, The Great Food Emperor.
In the Da Xuanhuan World, where powerful people were as common as clouds, there was a small shop that was known as a shady shop. There were very few dishes, but the price of each dish was very high. Even so, countless powerful people still flocked to it.
One ingredient could only be used to make one dish. As for how it was made, it all depended on the mood of the owner. And he was called the Great Food Emperor by countless powerful people.
