"This …"
The officials were shocked.
Although the officials from all over the world would be projected into the Heavenly Worship Hall, making it seem like they were in the capital's Heavenly Worship Hall, outside the door of the officials from all over the world were the various academies. They couldn't see the people outside the Heavenly Worship Hall.
"What's wrong? What happened? "The officials from all over the world asked.
"Many scholars and scholars have come. There's Marshal Zhixu, the head of the Chen family, the beggar uncle … "
The Left Prime Minister glanced outside the Heavenly Hall and turned back without any change in his expression.
However, the other officials from the Left Prime Minister's faction looked worried.
In particular, Ji Zhibai's face turned pale as he thought of a terrifying possibility.
Purging the emperor's subordinates.
Once these people killed the Left Prime Minister's faction in the name of purging the emperor's subordinates, the Notre-Dame would at most punish them slightly and definitely not severely because this was a political matter.
Not only did these people have enough reason to purge the emperor's subordinates, but they also had enough power to do so.
The appearance of the beggar uncle, Zhao Jingkong, made the officials from the King of Kang's faction feel dejected.
Zhao Jingkong indeed didn't have his own power and didn't even participate in the politics in order to avoid arousing suspicion. He focused on developing in the Notre-Dame and his power in Jingguo was far inferior to that of the King of Kang.
However, Zhao Jingkong was the symbol of the Jingguo royal family!
In particular, the members of the royal family who were below the age of forty had grown up listening to Zhao Jingkong's name. Zhao Jingkong was their role model.
There were few talents in the royal family of the Ten Nations because this involved the fate of the nation and the human race. Dividing the Ten Nations and suppressing the royal family was a strategy set by the Sages back then and it was still in effect.
In the royal family of the Ten Nations, even if there were people who left the royal family and pursued the Sage Path wholeheartedly, few of them would become scholars. However, Zhao Jingkong became a scholar early on.
It could even be said that at least 50% of the reason why the King of Kang couldn't completely win over all the royal family members was because he was afraid of Zhao Jingkong.
Even if Zhao Jingkong had been removed from the royal family and was no longer a member of the royal family.
If the King of Kang dared to force the Empress Dowager and the king with the other members of the royal family … As long as Zhao Jingkong objected, more than half of the royal family members would change sides.
The appearance of the Jingguo Marshal Chen Zhixu made the generals secretly heave a sigh of relief and regain their lost confidence.
Chen Zhixu was extremely tall. He was at least two heads taller than an average adult. When he walked, his gait was like a dragon or a tiger. His face looked as if it had been carved by a knife or an axe. His skin was bronze in color and had a strange metallic texture. His pupils were black and bright. He looked exceptionally spirited.
This person was clearly wearing an ordinary green scholar's robe, but those who saw him would have a strange illusion. They would always feel that the robe was emitting a metallic sound of armor shaking.
Chen Zhixu was the most powerful person in Jingguo. His prestige in the army was extremely high. He was also the only scholar in Jingguo who could control the soul of the army.
Chen Zhixu's appearance made the Left Minister's faction tremble in fear. Many people guessed that these people were here to clean up the Emperor's faction.
Ji Zhibai's expression grew increasingly anxious. He kept stealing glances at his master, Mount Liu.
Mount Liu, on the other hand, had a bearing that Ji Zhibai did not possess. He did not show the slightest sign of panic. It was no different from an ordinary morning court session.
Not long after, this powerful group of scholars entered Heavenly Worship Palace and walked straight in.
With Chen Mingding at the head, everyone first cupped their hands towards Fang Yun. They said, "Greetings to Fang Xusheng."
"No need to be so polite." Fang Yun nodded with a smile.
"Greetings to the Emperor and Empress Dowager." Everyone faced the Dragon Throne.
"My beloved ministers, no need to be so courteous." The Empress Dowager's voice came from behind the curtain.
Ou Mo cupped his hands towards the newcomers and said, "This official greets all the seniors. However, the Emperor's voice is Jingguo's internal affairs. If you do not hold a position in Jingguo, you are not allowed to participate in politics. May I know why you have come? "
"Oh? Assistant Minister Ou, could it be that you want to expel us from Heavenly Worship Palace? "Grandfather Chen Mingding had a kind smile on his face. He did not have the arrogance of the head of an aristocratic family. Instead, he seemed to be chatting with the younger generation.
However, Ou Mo was shocked. He instinctively looked towards Mount Liu, as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw when he was drowning.
However, Mount Liu did not move. It was as if he did not see Ou Mo's cry for help.
Ou Mo wanted to cry but had no tears. He was only the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Even the Minister of Personnel could only pack up and leave Jingguo if he offended the head of the Half-saint family.
The reason why the Left Prime Minister Mount Liu was as stable as Mount Tai in Jingguo was because he never provoked the Half-saint family. Even if there was a conflict between the two families, he could resolve it shamelessly.
Xusheng could not go against the solid bureaucratic system. However, if the Holy Clans did not care about their dignity, they could tear a hole in the bureaucratic hierarchy.
If they followed the rules of a chess game, even the aristocratic families could not win against a country's bureaucrats. However, the aristocratic families had the ability to occasionally overturn the game.
Ou Mo felt extremely depressed. Fortunately, Mount Liu's backer was Zong Sheng. If Mount Liu did not have the support of the Holy Clans, the Chen family would have taken him down and kicked him out of Jingguo's game.
However, at this point, Ou Mo had no other choice.
"I don't think so. However, the 'Law of Jingguo' cannot be violated. I request that all unrelated people leave Fengtian Palace quickly so as not to delay the important matters. "
Chen Mingding smiled slightly and did not speak. The others also had strange smiles on their faces.
Ou Mo looked at Mount Liu again.
Mount Liu finally turned around and bowed to Chen Mingding. "Greetings to Great Confucian Mingding and all of you. However, why are all of you here at this time?"
Chen Mingding smiled and said, "Mount Liu, why don't we reconvene the cabinet meeting? Previously, some people were confused and voted against it. If we can reconvene the cabinet meeting, the votes will definitely exceed 70%. "
Fang Yun looked at Chen Mingding in astonishment. These words seemed to be a discussion, but in reality, they were telling the Minister of the Left that the cabinet meeting must be reconvened and the Minister of the Left must agree. Otherwise, Chen Mingding would not be polite!
Chen Mingding was confident.
Ji Zhibai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. The matter was too obvious. If Mount Liu rejected Chen Mingding, the consequences would be unimaginable. It was very likely that it would lead to a purge of the Emperor's subordinates, staining the Fengtian Palace with blood.
Mount Liu also smiled faintly and said, "The cabinet meeting has already been decided. It cannot be changed! If Great Confucian Mingding has nothing else to do, then withdraw from the Fengtian Palace. Otherwise, an aristocratic family will have an excuse to interfere in politics. "
Many of the officials raised their eyebrows. Fang Yun also looked at Mount Liu seriously. Although the two were like fire and water, Fang Yun had to admit that Mount Liu was very courageous. Ordinary scholars could not be compared to him.
Some of the officials sighed softly. Since Mount Liu's attitude was so unyielding, these newcomers could not change the situation. Unless they started a purge of the Emperor's subordinates. However, the consequences of purging the Emperor's subordinates would be internal strife in Jingguo.
Chen Mingding smiled and said, "We did not come to the Fengtian Palace to interfere in politics. It is just that the Chen family promised to give Fang Xusheng a gift. Today, we will fulfill our promise."
That day, after Fang Yun defeated the Xun family in the civil battle, the Chen family had said at the celebratory banquet that the head of the Chen family had prepared a big gift for Fang Yun.
After that, the Chen family did not mention it again. Fang Yun did not think much of it either. However, he did not expect that the head of the Chen family, Chen Mingding, would not only mention it but also personally come to the Fengtian Palace to deliver the gift.
Mount Liu's gaze focused. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he did not open his mouth.
Fang Yun slowly stood up.
Chen Mingding touched the river shell and took out a rolled-up scroll. The two wooden scrolls were pitch-black. He raised it slightly and held the upper wooden scroll. The lower wooden scroll naturally rolled down and opened the scroll.
It was as if there was a sun hidden in the scroll. Endless golden light erupted, illuminating the entire Fengtian Palace.
