Fang Yun said angrily, "Minister Sheng, you have repeatedly disobeyed me in Fengtian Palace. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
"Left Prime Minister, please calm down. For the sake of Jingguo, I can only offend you. I hope you can forgive me. This peace talk involves a lot of things and has a great impact. It is rare. If we are not careful, Jingguo will be in danger. If the Left Prime Minister's Office does not participate, the other officials alone will not be able to save the situation. "Sheng Boyuan's tone was full of helplessness.
Now everyone could see that Sheng Boyuan really did not mean to make things difficult for Fang Yun this time. He was afraid that the peace talk would fail. The Left Prime Minister's Office was full of capable officials. If Fang Yun was willing to help, the peace talk would be more likely to succeed.
Fang Yun snorted coldly and said, "I have not been feeling well recently. Other than the affairs of the Left Prime Minister's Office, I have no energy to deal with anything else! I will not interfere in the temporary peace talk! "
After that, Fang Yun turned the Wuhou carriage and left Fengtian Palace at high speed. He set off a gust of wind, leaving the officials in a mess.
The officials looked at Fang Yun's back and were stunned for a moment.
After experiencing Fang Yun's previous tricks, no one thought that Fang Yun really left because of opposition. They all suspected that Fang Yun was playing a trick. Maybe he was playing hard to get, or maybe he had other plans.
However, the majority of the officials believed that Fang Yun still had to compromise. In the face of the two behemoths, the School of Miscellany and the Hall of Rites, Fang Yun's weight was still lacking. If he really could resist the School of Miscellany and the Hall of Rites, this matter would not have happened.
After a while, Sheng Boyuan said helplessly, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I have one more thing to report."
"Speak." The Empress Dowager's tone was full of fatigue.
Sheng Boyuan said, "In addition to the matter of the Zajia, we must also guard against the matter of the Hall of Rites. Now that the Hall of Rites has been picking bones in an egg, they have really picked some. If nothing goes wrong, when the Zajia makes their move, the Hall of Rites will also make their move. Therefore, I would like to invite all of you to come up with a perfect plan to deal with the Hall of Rites. "
Zhang Po Yue also said, "Those stubborn bastards really gave me a headache. They caused a ruckus in the army and the capital. Some methods can be used on others, but not on the people of the Hall of Rites. However, if the imperial court gives me the power to make arbitrary decisions, I guarantee that they will be obedient. "
Many officials rolled their eyes. It was one thing for Zhang Poyue to deal with Jingguo officials, but if he used dirty tricks to deal with Notre-Dame officials, he would definitely poke a hole in the sky, and the entire Jingguo would be in trouble.
"Forget it, forget it. You're a magnanimous person. Don't lower yourself to the same level as the Hall of Rites. Leave them some face."
"Take a rest!"
"General, please do us a favor."
"You are a national treasure. Once you use it, you can destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth. How could you casually show it to others?!"
Zhang Poyue didn't care at all when the generals he was familiar with mocked him.
Sheng Boyuan also rolled his eyes at Zhang Poyue and pretended not to hear him. He said, "Old Man hopes that Fang Xiang will still come forward and ask the other courts to restrain the Hall of Rites."
Cao Dean shook his head and said, "No. Not to mention that this will intensify the internal strife between the courts and excessive internal friction, just asking the other courts to come forward is a big problem. Moreover, there are some things that the courts will do regardless of whether we ask for it or not. They will not do what they should not do. The matter of the Hall of Rites can only be left to nature. "
Sheng Boyuan said unhappily, "Fang Yun and some people attracted the Hall of Rites. Are we just going to let it go?"
Dong Wencong said, "Then why don't you go to the Hall of Rites and help Jingguo out? Maybe the elder of the Hall of Rites will be happy and invite you to the Hall of Rites."
The officials understood that Dong Wencong was mocking Sheng Boyuan. He wanted to enter the Hall of Rites, but looking at the current situation, he was afraid that he would be rejected by the Hall of Rites in the future and it would be difficult for him to enter. Therefore, he tried his best to ease the relationship between the Hall of Rites and Jingguo.
"Dong Wencong, how can you slander an official of the imperial court?" Sheng Boyuan was furious.
"Carrying out the peace talks is the collective will of Jingguo. Although Fang Xiang is the leader of the officials, he can't oppose it. The cabinet reform is also the collective will of Jingguo. The success or failure of the cabinet reform is borne by all the officials. Now that you believe that Fang Xiang is wrong, are you saying that the credit for the reform belongs to Fang Xiang alone and that the officials in the court are all useless? "Dong Wencong asked.
Sheng Boyuan said, "Don't be unreasonable! What I mean is very clear. Whether it is dealing with the peace talks or the Hall of Rites, Fang Xusheng is the best candidate. For the country and the people, the capable do more. What's wrong with that? "
"I think you want to tire Fang Xiang to death!" Dong Wencong said.
"Empress Dowager, if you can do your best for Jingguo and drag your sick body to deal with government affairs, why can't Fang Yun do the same?" Sheng Boyuan questioned.
Zhang Poyue said sarcastically, "Empress Dowager, I can't listen to it anymore. 'Do your best' is followed by 'until death'. Minister Sheng wants to tire you to death first and then tire Fang Yun to death. I really didn't expect Minister Sheng to be so ambitious before. He will slowly tire everyone in the court to death and then he will be able to monopolize the power. "
Sheng Boyuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He shouted, "Empress Dowager, don't listen to Zhang Poyue's nonsense. I don't mean that."
The Empress Dowager said helplessly, "Forget it, forget it. We'll talk about the matter of the Hall of Rites later. The rest of the people will leave the court. The cabinet ministers and senators will stay to discuss the establishment of the temporary peace talks. "
In the absence of Fang Yun, the important officials of Jing Country started to discuss the matter of the temporary peace negotiation department.
The long discussion began. Halfway through, Jing Jun was sent away to sleep. The Empress Dowager had three meals in the main hall before the matter was basically finalized.
The next day, the cabinet mobilized people from various government offices to form the temporary peace talks and began to prepare for the peace talks.
While the temporary peace talks were fully prepared, the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion operated as usual.
After completing the fourth stage of the crackdown, the Crackdown Department was ready to withdraw on the surface. However, they had already begun the fifth stage of the crackdown in secret. They checked all the places to avoid missing any major cases.
Jingguo was originally thriving. However, because of the double pressure from the Hall of Rites and the Miscellany School, there was noise everywhere.
Rural schools had been opened in various places. Many people discussed current politics in the rural schools. In addition, there were people who spread the news, causing the people of Jingguo to become more and more afraid of the Hall of Rites and the Miscellany School.
Just as a storm was brewing in Jingguo, a big news appeared.
The "Spring Garden" where Fang Yun lived was renamed "Duo Garden".
Although there were many explanations for the "Duo Garden", it was obvious that the most correct explanation was that Fang Yun thought that he was like Confucius. He held the "Duo Bell" in his hand and led Jingguo forward. He was the guiding light of Jingguo.
His behavior of comparing himself to Confucius angered many conservative scholars. Once again, there was a crusade against Fang Yun on the list.
However, Fang Yun turned a deaf ear and continued to do his own thing.
In the past few days, Fang Yun's administration focused on two words: communication.
Fang Yun began to promote the Jingguo people to communicate with other places. Not only did they have to communicate with the Sea Clan, but they also had to communicate with the Bloodlight World, the Ancient Demon Clan, the Mutated Tribes, and even the Barbarian Tribes.
Communication could prevent the people from becoming isolated and backward, but it would also cause many problems.
From the beginning, Fang Yun had set a basic principle for communication, and that was equality. In the draft, it was clearly stated that foreigners could not be given preferential treatment. Any words, actions, or propaganda that overly glorified foreigners were prohibited. It was required that foreigners should first respect and abide by Jingguo's cultural traditions and customs. Once they were found to violate these basic principles, they would be strictly investigated.
The draft also pointed out that any behavior that gave foreigners preferential treatment was not only inviting wolves into the house, but it also negated the efforts of the people of Jingguo. It was destroying the people's self-confidence and pride, and it would cause irreversible and serious consequences.
