The expressions of the miscellaneous officials were extremely complicated.
In fact, they were the least willing to participate in this negotiation.
Some of the miscellaneous officials even cursed Cao Dean in their hearts. Usually, they said that he was made of paper, but when he helped Fang Yun, he worked extra hard. He was more treacherous than anyone else.
Huang Zongyu coughed lightly and said, "I don't agree with Prime Minister Cao's opinion. Although we are from Jingguo, we are also from the miscellaneous schools. Once we meet the great scholars of the miscellaneous schools, we will definitely be intimidated and be harmed. If the other party has the canon of the miscellaneous schools, won't we have to bow down to him? Therefore, if it's a peace negotiation, the miscellaneous officials can at most participate in the planning and can't preside over the overall situation. "
"Can this matter be presided over by Fang Xusheng?" A magistrate of the miscellaneous schools asked carefully.
Everyone looked at the magistrate. He was a member of the royal family.
Sheng Boyuan agreed. "I think it's good. Fang Xusheng is a true all-rounder. He knows the classics like the back of his hand and can easily cause a deluge of flowers. At the same time, his eloquence is unparalleled. He is indeed the best person to preside over this peace negotiation. "
Everyone looked at Fang Yun.
However, Fang Yun was neither salty nor indifferent as he said, "Ben Xiang is in charge of the reform and can't leave. What's more, Ben Xiang is seriously ill and is not suitable for running about. Will Zajia people come to Jing Country?"
Sheng Boyuan suddenly felt helpless. The miscellaneous schools now had the initiative, so it was impossible for them to come to Jingguo.
"Then let's invite Fang Xusheng to recommend someone to be the temporary chief of the Peace Negotiation Department," Sheng Boyuan said.
Fang Yundao said, "Whoever advocates for the peace negotiation will go to the Peace Negotiation Department. Anyway, I don't agree with the peace negotiation."
The expressions of the officials changed when they heard this, especially the miscellaneous school officials. They were angry because in their opinion, this matter was mainly caused by Fang Yun. Now that the miscellaneous school officials had encountered an unexpected disaster, Fang Yun didn't care and wanted to stay out of it.
A fifth-rank miscellaneous school official said, "If Fang Xusheng doesn't agree to this peace negotiation, then I will immediately resign and prepare to resist the suppression of the Holy Path. At the same time, I will also make arrangements for my future."
Fang Yun said casually, "Then you can leave the Heavenly Worship Hall."
Fang Yun's words caused the hall to become exceptionally silent.
That miscellaneous scholar's face alternated between green and white. In the end, he took off his official hat and threw it on the ground. He said angrily, "When the cunning rabbit is dead, the hound is cooked; when the birds are gone, the bow is put away! Fang Yun, you will suffer retribution one day! "After saying that, he turned around and strode out.
"Wait!" Fang Yun's cold voice reverberated throughout the Heavenly Worship Palace. The might of a Great Confucian of the Fourth State spread out, as if an invisible hand had grabbed the civil official of the Miscellaneous School, making it difficult for him to continue walking.
"In broad daylight, you slandered the Minister of the Left and cursed Xusheng of the human race. How can you just walk away like that? Where are the laws of Jingguo? Where was the etiquette of the human race? Open your mouth and I'll spare you. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk out of Heavenly Worship Hall's doors! "
Fang Yun's voice was not loud, but every word and sentence was like a mountain, pressing down on everyone's hearts.
That miscellaneous scholar froze on the spot, motionless. His face alternated between green and red. No one knew what he was thinking.
Sheng Boyuan chuckled and said, "Fang Xusheng, why do you have to lower yourself to the level of a Grand Scholar? He's just afraid of the Wenxin Courtyard and lost his mind. I think he should just admit his mistake and let it go. "
"Oh? Minister Sheng, do you mean that the Wenxin Courtyard is scary and I, Fang Yun, am weak and easy to bully? He lost his mind. Did you lose your mind too? "Fang Yun said impolitely.
"You …" Sheng Boyuan wanted to be a peacemaker to prevent things from getting too tense. He did not expect Fang Yun to target him. He was so angry that he could not speak.
Fang Yun looked at the Myriad Miles of Mountains and Rivers Painting in the Heavenly Worship Hall and said, "My patience is limited, but I'm also a reasonable person. I'll give you twenty breaths of time to consider. Once twenty breaths have passed, don't blame me for punishing you! "
No one tried to dissuade him anymore. Everyone looked at the back of that miscellaneous scholar.
Seeing that the twenty breaths were about to pass, Fang Yun slowly reached out his hand and touched the official seal.
When the time was up, that miscellaneous scholar raised his hands and slapped himself repeatedly. After slapping himself twenty times, he strode out.
Leaving behind a trail of resentment.
Fang Yun leaned against Wuhou's carriage and said lazily, "Let's continue the court meeting."
The officials were silent. Their emotions were a little complicated. Fang Yun did have the right to punish that person, but they did not understand why his attitude was so extreme. He was not prepared to negotiate with the miscellaneous scholars.
After a few breaths, Sheng Boyuan said, "Minister Fang, you are the leader of the officials and the head of the cabinet. If you don't agree to negotiate, then there is no need to discuss this matter anymore."
Fang Yundao said, "I don't want to negotiate. This is my own opinion. This negotiation must be decided by the votes of the cabinet members and cabinet secretaries. Even if I don't agree, as long as more than two-thirds of the cabinet members agree, the negotiation will continue. Although I am the leader of the officials, I will respect the choice of most of my colleagues. I will not let the imperial court be ruled by only one person. "
Many officials frowned. They did not quite understand. Under normal circumstances, Fang Yun could completely stop this negotiation. However, at present, although Fang Yun did not want to negotiate, he did not want to stop it. He was completely different from normal officials. He seemed to be an open-minded minister who allowed his subordinates to have different opinions.
The officials were guessing when Cao Dean suddenly sighed and said, "Disaster has come. The demon realm actually announced a truce."
The officials hurriedly held their official seals to check the list.
There was indeed news from Two World Mountain. The demon realm actually announced a temporary truce and all of them returned to their camp.
No one knew what was going on. People all over the country were talking about it.
In Jingguo's Fengtian Hall, many officials looked at each other. They did not know whether to continue discussing the miscellaneous scholars' matter or discuss the demon realm's withdrawal.
Cao Dean sighed and said, "There are some capable people in the demon realm."
"Why do you say that?"
Cao Dean said helplessly, "If the demon realm still attacks Two World Mountain, the Notre-Dame's Halls will not allow me to seal Jingguo's Path. They will not even allow the Jingguo officials to be expelled from the school. If the war stops now, the Halls will have no excuse. I can also use peace as an excuse to inflict serious damage to Jingguo. After that, the demon realm will probably immediately send troops. "
Sai Zhixue said angrily, "If that's the case, aren't we suspected of colluding with the demon realm?"
"Suspected? Yes, we are, but where is the evidence? It's meaningless. Next, everyone, prepare yourselves, especially my colleagues. "
Many of the officials from the School of Miscellaneous Scholars were pale. They were the best at scheming. Based on their experience, this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Even if the School of Miscellaneous Scholars did not take the initiative to contact the demon realm, the demon realm did want to help the School of Miscellaneous Scholars in this matter and target Fang Yun.
"Doesn't that mean that the demon realm, the Hall of Rites, and the School of Miscellaneous Scholars are working together to target Jingguo?" Sai Zhixue asked.
Many officials looked at Fang Yun and thought that they were not targeting Jingguo, but Fang Yun.
Zhang Poyue said with a serious face, "The Notre-Dame's Halls will definitely see through this plan. They will definitely not allow me to take action."
"The Notre-Dame will not allow me to punish Jingguo when the demon realm attacked Two World Mountain. Now that the demon realm is withdrawing, what reason can the Notre-Dame use to stop them? Say that this is a conspiracy of the demon realm? This is not a reason for the Notre-Dame to stop the School of Miscellaneous Scholars! The possibility of me taking action is higher! "
