Everyone was seated and talking in low voices. Someone suddenly stood up and attracted everyone's attention. When the song and dance reached the Ode of Mulan, more than ten dancers were performing a battle scene with their graceful figures. The music also became somewhat solemn and stirring. However, because the official suddenly stood up, the hall changed, and some of the dancers made obvious mistakes in their movements. Ao Huang looked around, not paying any attention to the official. Fang Yun looked at the official. The official was boorish and muscular and had the appearance of a typical military official. He was dressed in Han Lin's scholarly robes. The military official pointed at a dancer and said angrily, "The Illusionary Divine dream master is here and the king is present. Who gave you the guts to be so rude?" The twelve dancers stopped dancing in fright and knelt on the ground, trembling. The musicians also stopped playing their instruments and looked at the official in fear. This was no ordinary occasion. In fact, it was even stricter than the king's birthday banquet. The great Xusheng had come to Gyeongo to challenge Gyeongo to a civil war. This was disadvantageous for Gyeongo. If something went wrong at this time and someone found out about it, it would be an even heavier punishment. Fang Yun said unhappily, "What did they do wrong for this general to make such a big fuss? If they didn't do anything serious, please forgive them. There's no need to be so calculative. " The officials from the two countries vaguely understood. Even the stupidest official wouldn't spout such nonsense in such an occasion. There had to be a hidden meaning. Fang Yun had guessed that this general was going to harm him, so he took the initiative and took the initiative. Some of the younger officials had followed the envoy group to gain experience. When they saw this scene, they became even more vigilant. It seemed that the older officials were right. Diplomacy between two countries was exactly the same as in history books. All kinds of things were bound to happen. There wouldn't be situations like during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period where one side sent dancers to assassinate the other, but there was no lack of scheming. Before meeting, the two countries were competing, but after meeting, they were all scheming. The general didn't expect Fang Yun to say this and was stunned for a moment. He instinctively looked at Zong Wuyuan and saw him drinking with his head lowered. A trace of helplessness flashed through his eyes. Soon after, he said, "Reporting to Lord Xusheng, the lowly servant in the lead was not focused and her thoughts were not calm when she was dancing. There were actually so many mistakes. He was simply looking down on Xusheng and the monarch! This woman has violated etiquette. If she was in my house, she would be beaten out of the house. "The leading dancer was trembling with fear. Tears filled her eyes, but she didn't dare to say a word. Fang Yun laughed and said, "There is a mistake in the song, Zhou Lang, please take care of it. Today, it was Wu Youxia. The general was furious. Forget it, there's no need to fuss over such a small matter. You may leave. When this general has calmed down, you can toast and apologize. "The dancers and musicians secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to express their gratitude, the general suddenly said," Wait! Our Gyeongo has a strict code of etiquette. Monarch, monarch, minister, minister, father, father, son. Those who have done well will be rewarded. Mistakes must be punished. Lowly servant, this general is asking you, where are you from? Where is your ancestral home? Who gave you the guts to neglect Xusheng and the Monarch? " Fang Yun was about to speak when Monarch Qing slapped the table and said angrily, "Shut up. Fang Xusheng is releasing people. Who gave you the guts to obstruct him? Do you believe that I won't punish you for the crime of offending your superior? "The general cupped his hands and said," Monarch Qing, please calm down. This lowly official is a member of the military. I pay the most attention to military etiquette and etiquette. How to build an army? How to rule a country? How to pacify the people? If we don't punish this lowly servant today, people will spread the news that our Gyeongo people neglected Xusheng at the banquet. It will harm our country's prestige and your face. We can't be the least bit negligent. " "Ai … you stubborn donkeys in the army. Forget it. What you said makes some sense. I'll let you handle it." Everyone could see that the monarch and the general were echoing each other. One was in the right while the other seized Fang Yun's right to speak. In the end, everything would be decided by the Gyeongo general. Fang Yun's gaze turned cold. He first looked at Monarch Qing and then at the general. He didn't say anything else. The general stared angrily at the leading dancer and shouted, "Lowly servant, this general is asking you, where are you from? Where is your ancestral home? Why did you offend Xusheng and the monarch and ruin our Gyeongo's name? Speak! Did you collude with the enemy country? If you speak half a word of falsehood, you will be guilty of deceiving the saint and the monarch. Your three generations will be executed! "The dancer was so scared that tears streamed down her face. She hurriedly explained," This servant did not offend … "" Shut up! I'm asking who you are and where are you from! " "This servant's name is Qing He. I'm from Xiangzhou. My ancestral home is Gu Fu in Jiangzhou, Jingguo. I was sent to the palace before I was ten years old. I haven't had any contact with my family for many years. I definitely wouldn't collude with the enemy country …" The general was stunned. He hurriedly said, "This lowly servant's ancestral home is Jiangzhou? So she's from the same hometown as Fang Xusheng. This lowly official is impetuous. Since that's the case, this lowly official doesn't dare to overstep his boundaries. Please punish me, Fang Xusheng. "The Assistant Minister of Jingguo's Ministry of Rites slammed the table and stood up. He angrily said," Impudent! "" Motherf * cker! " Ao Huang didn't say anything from beginning to end because he was afraid of being scolded for being impolite. But now he couldn't take it anymore. His dragon's beard fluttered and his eyes were filled with anger. The officials of Jingguo suddenly stood up and stared angrily at the general. The tables and chairs were in a mess and the energy was surging. Monarch Qing scolded loudly, "Xin Zhi, get out of my palace!" Xin Zhi's face was full of surprise and grievance. He said, "Monarch, what's wrong with this lowly official? Didn't I just scold a servant from Jiangzhou? What's wrong with this lowly official? This lowly official is a rough person. I'm just an ordinary Jinshi. I haven't even participated in the court examinations. This lowly official relied on the art of war to enter the Hanlin Academy. I really don't know how to scheme against others. " "You dare say that you didn't insinuate Fang Xusheng?" Zhou Junhu scolded. Xin Zhi felt even more wronged. He hurriedly said, "General Zhou, you really scared this lowly official. This lowly official swears on my courage that I looked down on Jingguo people and scolded lowly servants. But I definitely didn't insinuate Fang Xusheng. If I'm lying, let my courage and my literary palace collapse. " The people of Jingguo were even angrier. The situation couldn't be more obvious. Xin Zhi was using the military's "all is fair in war" while spouting nonsense. He only had his heart for the country. Even if he swore on his holy path, there wouldn't be a problem. However, they didn't have enough evidence and couldn't do anything about it. Even if Xin Zhi was insinuating, as long as he insisted that he was insulting Jingguo and not Fang Yun, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it even if they went to the Notre-Dame. Zhou Junhu was so angry that he laughed. He said, "What an irresponsible child. Before the civil war, do you dare to confront me in the art of war? " Xin Zhi laughed and said, "General Zhou, you must be joking. I'm just an insignificant Hanlin Academy student. My art of war is shallow. How can I compare to a scholar like you? This lowly general is ashamed of his inferiority. You've won. " Why aren't you going back to your seat? "Qing Jun glared at him. Xin Zhi sighed and sat down. Emperor Qing turned to look at Fang Yun, whose face was ashen. He said, "Fang Xusheng, don't bother with this kind of rough soldier. These ruffians are the hardest to deal with. I've always had a headache. Alright, you didn't come to my palace to be angry. Don't worry about that guy. However, I'll leave this dancer to you. With you here, none of us can do anything to her. " As Emperor Qing spoke, Fang Yun's expression gradually softened. He nodded and said, "Originally, I came to Gyeongo to do one thing. But now, I want to do two or three things. Emperor Qing, can I use a poem to redeem all the innocent people in Gyeongo's ancestral home, Jingguo? "" This … "Emperor Qing was somewhat hesitant. Gyeongo's officials were silent. The Jingguo officials secretly nodded. Since Gyeongo had used the dancers from Jingguo's ancestral home to insult Fang Yun, then Fang Yun would take a step back to show his benevolence.
