Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth study secret talk
Chapter 286 Secret Conversation in the Study Room
"Please give me some advice, Lord Marquis."
Fang Yun said immediately. He didn't want to beat around the bush anymore. The three people in the study were all smart people. Since Marquis Zhongxin had expressed his attitude and stood on the side of the Sifang Marquis Mansion, and was ready to give him some advice, Fang Yun naturally wouldn't do it.
Something like arrogance or shirk.
Zhongxinhou had been in the army for many years and was a famous wise prince in the Zhou Dynasty. Such a figure had stood firm in the Zhou Dynasty for more than twenty years. Moreover, as a commoner prince, he was able to gain the trust of the prince, which shows his ability.
Although Fang Yun was in Dihuang and in the battle formation, he completely suppressed Xie Daoyun, who even Zhongxinhou could do nothing about. But in the struggle between the court and other aspects, Zhongxinhou was far more sophisticated than Fang Yun. What he said
, naturally has weight.
Marquis Zhongxin smiled when he heard this. Although he wanted to give Fang Yun some advice, if he didn't like it, he would just try to get in trouble with him. So, he didn't make it clear at first. At this time, when he heard Fang Yun
Being so direct, I understood what he was thinking.
"boom!"
With a flick of his hand from Marquis Zhongxin, the door and window of the study room immediately closed with a bang. Zhang Ying was startled. Marquis Zhongxin's move was too solemn.
Marquis Zhongxin ignored Zhang Ying's shocked expression. With a flick of his finger, an invisible restriction flew out. It turned into ancient inscriptions and wandered on the wall of the study.
"Little Marquis, I met Wu Hou Yang Hong in Manghuang!"
The first sentence that Marquis Zhongxin said shocked Fang Yun.
"It seems that I have really seen it before." Marquis Zhongxin smiled slightly, and looking at Fang Yun's expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly:
"Yang Hong is very secretive. I heard that he was injured in the battle in Manghuang, so I already guessed that something was wrong. Yang Hong pretended to be injured, naturally to deal with you. Since you have already arrived in Shangjing City, it means that,
Yang Hong has failed!"
Zhongxinhou Dao.
"Ah!" Zhang Ying was slightly surprised. After three trials, Yang Hong lost the case because of Fang Yun's words. In terms of force, Yang Hong's strength had an undisputed overwhelming advantage. He
I still don’t know that Fang Yun has already fought against Yang Hong!
"Master Hou is really powerful! Yes, I have already met Yang Hong, and I used the 'golden cicada's shell' trick to get rid of him!"
Fang Yun confirmed Marquis Zhongxin's guess. However, Fang Yun was not bad either. Marquis Zhongxin just said a word. He immediately realized that the Duke of Zhou in front of him probably knew Yang Hong very well.
"The Marquis seems to know Yang Hong very well. I wonder, what is the Marquis's opinion of Yang Hong?"
Fang Yundao.
A look of appreciation flashed across the eyes of Marquis Zhongxin. Fang Yun could detect this from his words, which was enough to prove his wisdom.
After pondering for a moment, Marquis Zhongxin said something that shocked the two teenagers: "Eight years ago, Yang Hong visited me in the army and asked me for advice on the art of war!"
Eight years ago, Yang Hong was eighteen years old. Fang Yun and Zhang Ying were both only eight years old. When they were both children, Yang Hong was already leading tens of thousands of troops and fighting abroad! At that time, Yang Hong
Hong has already shown his prowess, but in terms of fame, he is obviously not as famous as Zhongxin Hou Zhangren!
Marquis Zhongxin ignored the shock of the two young men and recalled:
"When I first met Yang Hong, I felt that this boy was as sharp as an unsheathed sword! There was a sense of arrogance flowing in his bones, as if nothing in the wild could get into his eyes. But he
When he asked me for advice, he was extremely humble. I have never seen such a person in my military career! It can be said that this man's talent and understanding are rare to see in a hundred years!"
Fang Yun had looked up Yang Hong's information and knew that the eighteen-year-old Yang Hong was a heroic young man with high spirits and was indeed worthy of Marquis Zhongxin's evaluation!
"The Marquis is great. Although Yang Hong is the Marquis of Wu, I have never paid much attention to him. It wasn't until Manghuang suddenly pretended to be injured and then met him on the way back to the capital that I realized what was going on.
I misjudged this person. With his skills and the city's government, he is worthy of the Marquis's evaluation."
Fang Yun opened his mouth and said.
He talked about the meeting with Yang Hong very plainly and passed it by in one sentence. However, Zhang Ying on the side listened to his emotions fluctuating and his eyes changing.
These two people are both extraordinary talents! Needless to say, Yang Hong has been able to become the eighth Wuhou after the Zhou Dynasty has been established for so long, which is enough to prove his skill and ability. Although Fang Yun is younger, he is more powerful than Zhang Ying.
In his mind, he is not inferior to Yang Hong. At least he was able to reject the Taifu's invitation, join the army, and set foot on the ground to change ranks within a year. These are enough to illustrate Fang Yun's ability. Given time, Zhang Ying believes that Fang Yun
His achievements are definitely not inferior to Yang Hong’s!
Such two geniuses, who had the grudge of the third trial meeting before them, met again in the remote wilderness. The situation couldn't help but make Zhang Ying think about it.
"I don't know what Brother Fang and Yang Hong were talking about? If only I had been there at that time!"
Zhang Ying thought in his mind. But Fang Yun didn't say anything, so it was hard for him to ask further questions.
"Haha," Marquis Zhongxin laughed: "Yang Hong has a different stance from you, but you can give him such an evaluation. This attitude alone far exceeds that of Tongji. It seems that what I call 'a rare achievement in a century'"
Among the geniuses of Yi Jian, you have to be added again!"
Fang Yun smiled and was noncommittal. This kind of thing was just talk, and of course he wouldn't take it seriously.
The smile faded, and Zhongxinhou said solemnly:
"In the Battle of Manghuang, your military exploits were reported back to Shangjing City. When the Six Ministries were discussing whether you would be granted the title of Marquis, I originally predicted that you would not be granted the title of Marquis within five years. However, you returned to Shangjing City and caused such a fuss.
I'm afraid it will be much earlier than expected."
On the side, Zhang Ying finally couldn't help but blurted out and asked: "Father, the six ministries discussed Fang Yun's appointment as a marquis. I also heard some in Lantai Secret Garden. However, Brother Fang should only have a little merit in war to be granted the title of marquis.
Right. Why did Father say it would take five years? Also, Brother Fang forced his way into the Pingding Marquis Mansion, so instead of delaying it, why could he be granted the title of Marquis in advance?"
"Ying'er, the struggle in the court is far more complicated than on the battlefield. A book on the art of war is far from enough. When you can be crowned king and marquis, father will give you some advice."
After Marquis Zhongxin said this, he said no more. He turned his head and faced Fang Yun and said:
"Little Marquis, Mrs. Xianhua has not made any announcement about the affairs of the Pingding Marquis Mansion. But after all, this matter is related to the face of the court. I estimate that in the next few days, you will be summoned to the palace.
You must be prepared for this."
Fang Yun nodded: "I have already expected these and have my own countermeasures."
"That's good," Marquis Zhongxin stroked his beard without saying much, "The second thing is that you have to be careful. I guess they will find you soon!"
"Oh?" Fang Yun raised his hand and said, "Please give me some advice."
"You killed eight demon kings in the wilderness and worked hard. However, your apparent 'method of earth transformation' has also attracted the attention of interested people. I estimate that during this period, the sect's mansion
I will find you!" Hou Zhongxin said.
"The clan's mansion?!"
Hearing this name, Fang Yun's expression changed slightly. Of course he knew where the Zongren Mansion was. That place was extremely powerful. The princes and grandsons of Great Zhou feared this place the most. Even Prince Liu
Xiu is no exception. However, the power of the Zongren Mansion is only useful to those in the palace and those involved in the palace.
As for external ministers and generals, they are not within the jurisdiction of the Zongren Mansion. In short, the Zongren Mansion plays the role of a royal steward!
Although Fang Yun was confused, he knew that Marquis Zhongxin would not make a mistake. So he didn't ask any more questions and just listened.
A look of appreciation flashed across the eyes of Marquis Zhongxin and he continued:
"Before, a plague broke out in the west. Many strong men from other sects participated in robbing Fei's essence and blood. However, because of the anger of the imperial court, they all withdrew them one by one. However, now you have used the 'Earth Transformation' in the wilderness.
He transformed into the ancient ferocious beast Fei. No matter what, the imperial court would have to deal with this matter! In addition, the current Zong Ling of the Zong Ren Mansion had been in control of the Zong Ren Mansion for more than 20 years, and he was a very talkative figure.
, but no one has seen him. Rumor has it that his cultivation is no worse than that of Marquis Shenwu! In addition to controlling royal punishments, the Zongren Mansion also has the responsibility of monitoring the world for the Human Emperor. You have to be careful!"
Fang Yun was silent. If it were not for the reminder from Marquis Zhongxin, he would not have noticed such an institution within the royal family. After all, for a prince's son, the Clan's Mansion is too far away.
"Master Hou, thank you very much. I will pay attention to it!"
Fang Yun said sincerely. If the Zongren Mansion was just an organization equivalent to the six departments, he would not care at all. But since Zhongxinhou made it clear that the Zongren Mansion is responsible for monitoring the world, it is different! This right
, but it’s too big.
"Well, you just need to pay attention to these two things. If nothing unexpected happens, the title of Marquis will only be a matter of one or two years." Marquis Zhongxin nodded. Fang Yun is a smart man, and some things can be revealed in just one point, which saves him a lot of trouble.
.
"Ying'er, you haven't seen each other for a year. Don't you have something to say to the young Marquis?"
Marquis Zhongxin turned his eyes and looked at Zhang Yingdao.
Fang Yun understood what he meant. The Marquis stopped talking and didn't want to say more. He understood in his heart and said to Zhang Ying:
"That's right. Brother Zhang and I haven't seen each other for a while. I don't know how Brother Zhang is doing now."
After saying this, the atmosphere in the study suddenly became lively, not as solemn as before.
Zhang Ying smiled: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother Fang..."
Then, Zhang Ying recounted one by one his experiences in Beijing after Fang Yun left. It turned out that, with Fang Yun's support, Zhang Ying was admitted as a registered disciple by the Taifu not long after.
The Taifu was highly respected, serious and unsmiling. He was very strict in teaching his disciples, but he was not difficult. As the third Duke of the imperial court, he had to take care of everything, so he was destined not to have much time to teach Zhang Ying.
In a whole year, Zhang Ying would not see the Taifu seven times. In front of this Taifu, Zhang Ying was respectful and did not dare to be more polite, but used the courtesy of a disciple. The Taifu came and went in a hurry every time, although he stayed for a short time.
Every once in a while, the president would ask someone to inquire about Zhang Ying's study status and send him some books.
After about a few months of this, the Taifu directly transferred Zhang Ying to the Lanbi Secret Garden in the palace, where he also served as the lowest official. He did some copying and transcribing work every day, and it was like gathering in a mountain every day.
