Yu Xingshu, who was once the Governor of Jiangzhou and later worked in the Ministry of War, was transferred by Fang Yun to Honglu Temple.
Honglu Temple was mainly responsible for foreign affairs, such as going to various countries and receiving foreign guests. It had almost nothing to do with Yu Xingshu's military status. Some people expressed their opposition.
Fang Yun said that Jingguo was gradually becoming stronger, and foreign affairs needed a decisive and tough official, a scholar with military experience, to adapt to the development of Jingguo.
After the officials discussed it, even Sheng Boyuan, the Minister of Appointments, who had always opposed Fang Yun, said that Fang Yun's words were very reasonable. Only then did the doubts disappear.
There was also a small incident in Jingguo. The Notre-Dame's Hall of Rites sent a scholar to the Jingguo Ministry of Rites, saying that he was promoting etiquette. This was a common occurrence, and it was done in a low-key manner, so no one paid much attention to it. They just thought it was a normal move by the Hall of Rites.
The matter of the personal report did not cause too much of a stir afterwards, but many people did not know that Fang Yun, based on the personal reports of the Left Minister's Pavilion, gradually transferred some people away, and also transferred the capable officials of Mi Province and Xiang Province into the Left Minister's Pavilion.
Because the highest level of these officials was only an eighth-level official, and there were only five of them, even the Overwatch Council, which had been watching Fang Yun, did not care.
The Imperial Censors of the Overwatch Council had always been the weapon of each faction, and they were often the first to strike in a faction's conflict.
Before they found a major problem, the royal family would not be stupid enough to attack carelessly.
Moreover, there were many Imperial Censors in the Overwatch Council. Although Fang Yun did not have much of a relationship with them, with his political and military skills, more than half of the Imperial Censors naturally supported Fang Yun.
The Overwatch Council was under the control of an assistant minister, but in reality, the Overwatch Council, Ministry of Justice, and Supreme Court all had their own independent systems. The famous system of the three departments of justice was assigned to the assistant minister to prevent the left and right prime ministers from having too much power. It was not really giving all the power of the three departments to the assistant minister.
Therefore, the real power of Jingguo's assistant minister came from the decision-making power of the cabinet, and had little to do with the three legal departments.
After half a month of exploration, Fang Yun relied on his experience in Ning An and Xiang Province, as well as his most important military achievements and strength to completely control the Left Minister's Pavilion. However, he did not completely control the Cabinet. After all, his experience as an official of the capital was still too shallow.
The main reason why he could take over the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion so quickly was that Fang Yun was the first Left Prime Minister in the history of Jingguo. In the human race where literature was paramount, Fang Yun had great authority in the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion.
No matter which faction placed the officials in the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion, they would all be intimidated by Fang Yun's identity as both a great scholar and Xusheng. They would not dare to have any thoughts of resistance, let alone secretly obstructing Fang Yun.
Half a month later, in the morning, Fang Yun sat in the Dragon Horse limousine and drove slowly to the Imperial Palace.
Fang Yun looked out of the window and suddenly sighed.
Hu Li gently massaged Fang Yun's shoulders and asked, "Husband, why are you sighing?"
Husband, in the past, referred to people who had the Prime Minister. During the Wei Dynasty, this was called Cao Cao, and later it was called an official or husband.
Fang Yun helplessly said, "I originally thought that there would be a few thorns in the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion to let me show my might and scare off the various factions. Who would have thought that the officials in the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion could only be described as' obedient '. I could not use any of my methods. After all, I am still sick. "
Hu Li covered her mouth and laughed, "Why don't you see what other identities you have other than the Left Prime Minister? Xusheng, Ancestor of Poetry, Master of Bloody Radiance, Master of Shihan, Master of Yangtze River, Wen Xing Long Jue, Elder Brother Half-saint Fu Yue. Not to mention those small officials, even the officials of the border regions would have to listen to you obediently."
Fang Yundao said, "I have not established my might, so I can only take it slow."
As Fang Yun spoke, he took out a memorial and started reading it again.
Hu Li did not dare to influence Fang Yun, but she would always know a lot of things by Fang Yun's side.
Hu Li took a few glances at the contents of the memorial and was shocked.
Fang Yun closed the memorial and looked out of the window quietly.
"This is a serious matter, so I will have to trouble you for a few years …"
The court meeting went on as usual. The king was seated and the officials had an audience with him.
After the drums and music ended, Fang Yun was still the head of the civil officials while Li Wenying was the head of the military officials.
Now, Jingguo had the Left Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister, and the Assistant Prime Minister.
The position of the Prime Minister had always been symbolic. The person who was in charge of the position of the Prime Minister was the Grand Scholar of the academy. Therefore, Kang Ha-chuan's departure did not have much impact on Jingguo's internal affairs.
With one less Prime Minister, the other factions would be less involved. Hence, everyone had a tacit understanding and was not in a hurry to appoint a new Prime Minister.
The officials thought that today would be the same as usual and that some officials would follow the convention to bring up some matters that had been agreed upon long ago. However, everyone was shocked to find that Fang Yun's carriage was actually moving forward slowly and leaving the civil officials.
The air in the Heavenly Worship Hall suddenly froze.
Some of the lower-ranking officials actually failed to live up to expectations and their hearts were beating rapidly as shock appeared on their faces.
There were hidden rules in the official circles of the Ten Nations. Generally speaking, there would be clues before the court meeting and the officials of the various ministries would have guessed a thing or two in advance.
Any sudden situation would cause a commotion in the court.
Besides, it was Fang Yun, the Left Prime Minister, who was the head of the officials.
Fang Yun said slowly, "Fang Yun, I have something important to report."
"Official Fang, what business do you have?" Jing Jun replied in a dignified manner, but his voice still trembled slightly.
Fang Yundao said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I report General Li Wenying for four major crimes!"
His words were like thunder that shook the Throne Room.
Everyone looked at Li Wenying and saw that even though Li Wenying was already a great Confucian scholar, his heart was still calm, but there was still an unconcealable look of shock on his face.
Li Wenying was fearless, but he couldn't help but be shocked.
When the officials saw this scene, they immediately realized that Fang Yun and Li Wenying were not secretly colluding. Li Wenying actually just found out about it.
They thought of how Fang Yun lured Kang Ha-chuan away from the mountain and sent him to Notre-Dame. Now, Fang Yun actually pointed his sword at Li Wenying. What did this mean?
Almost all the officials came to the same conclusion.
Fang Yun wanted to attack his dissidents and make a decision!
Jingguo was going to be in chaos!
Jing Jun panicked and looked ahead blankly through the curtains. After a long while, he turned to look at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was also in a daze.
After ten breaths, Jing Jun slowly said, "Minister Fang, please speak."
Jing Jun's voice was weak and bitter.
Even though he was underage, after experiencing so many things, Jing Jun instinctively knew that Fang Yun was going to stir up trouble.
Fang Yun said seriously, "Li Wenying's subordinate, Dai Hong, rode his horse in the city and injured people. He only paid compensation. Moreover, this person has a spoiled temperament and has a bad habit of drinking in the barracks and whipping soldiers. Li Wenying did not care and was not strict with his subordinates. This is his first crime!"
Everyone showed an incomprehensible expression. Dai Hong was a fifth-rank general. Although he had done some bad things, he was brave in battle and did not care about trifles. For a general with outstanding military achievements, these were just small matters.
"Li Wenying's second crime is that he connived with his servants. Two years ago, his servants had a conflict with the people and injured them. Later, Li Wenying was exonerated. Li Wenying's wife also knew about it. "
Two years ago, Li Wenying was still training in the ancient lands.
"His third crime is that he did not plan properly. Before Li Wenying went to the ancient lands, he should have known that the barbarians would make a move against Jingguo. However, he stubbornly went to the ancient lands to seek refuge. When Jingguo was facing a great enemy, the army was short of manpower and the war was difficult. If I did not turn the tide, Jingguo would have lost half of its territory! "
