Such a person has a high rank and great power, and his status is still higher than that of the Taifu. Because the court is controlled by the three princes, the Taifu is only one of the three princes. But Wu Mu is the only direct controller of the Zhou army. He is known as the warless one.
If you are not victorious, you will be invincible! Wu Mu formulated all the strategies for the Great Zhou Dynasty against the Five Wastelands.
Don't look at the Pingding Marquis Mansion. The people in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion are arrogant, but as long as Wu Mu says a word, the two noble marquises will be demoted to civilians immediately. Moreover, the two great Zhou marquises must be sincere and fearful, and they dare not hold any grudges.
heart of.
The Sifang Hou Mansion is just a new family of military generals. If Wu Mu is compared to Mount Tai, the Sifang Hou Mansion is an egg. Wu Mu's invitation gives people the feeling of being as shocked as Mount Tai pressing an egg.
"It turns out to be General Li. Please be polite. General, please come in!"
It was Mrs. Huayang who reacted first and welcomed Li Ji, the general who conquered the north, and Zhang Rang, a Hanlin scholar, into the mansion.
The group of people entered the main hall of Sifang Hou Mansion. After a while of greetings, the guests and hosts were seated. Zhang Rang and Li Ji looked at each other, each thinking something in their mind. The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.
In the end, Zhang Rang spoke first. He cupped his hands. Zhang Rang took out a red booklet from his sleeve and handed it over:
"Mrs. Huayang, this is a gift from the Imperial Tutor. Young Master Ling is young and smart. He outperformed all others in the Yuanxiao Literary Examination and won the first place in the Literary Examination. The Imperial Tutor admires him very much and hopes to accept the order from the young marquis.
I am a registered disciple. I wonder what Madam wants?"
"First place in the literary test?"
Mrs. Huayang had already been mentally prepared, but she was still startled when she heard this sentence. She could hardly believe her ears. Subconsciously, Mrs. Huayang looked at Fang Yun and cast a questioning look.
"Mom, yesterday you came home early in the morning. My son wanted to tell you about this. However, seeing that his mother was tired and sleepy, he didn't dare to disturb her. So he forgot to tell his mother about this."
Fang Yun stood up, bowed to his mother, Mrs. Huayang, and said respectfully.
After hearing these words, Mrs. Huayang finally understood why so many people came to give gifts so early in the morning. She glanced at Fang Yun with a complicated expression, and Mrs. Huayang suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart.
Of the two children, the one she was most worried about was Fang Yun. In the past few months, she had seen Fang Yun's hard training every day. But Mrs. Huayang never expected that Fang Yun could actually
In the Lantern Festival literary examination the day before yesterday, he won the first prize and was appreciated by the Grand Tutor! You know, he has concentrated on practicing martial arts in the past few months and has not even touched books!
"Mrs. Huayang, what do you think?"
Zhang Rang asked, and several Hanlin attendants behind him also looked like they were listening.
"Master Zhang, this is a serious matter. Could you please let me think about it first?"
Mrs. Huayang took a deep breath and did not agree immediately. She just heard clearly that in addition to the Taifu, there was also Wu Mu who came to the door this time! Mrs. Huayang has been in charge of the Sifang Hou Mansion for decades, and she has a meticulous mind.
He is definitely not the kind of person who is reckless.
"Master Li, you just said that Master Wu Mu also has a courtesy note?"
Mrs. Huayang turned to look at Li Ji and asked. As soon as these words came out, Zhang Rang and others also looked at Li Ji, looking slightly nervous.
Li Ji was afraid that Mrs. Huayang would agree to Zhang Rang, so he had been holding his breath for a long time. When he saw that Mrs. Huayang did not agree immediately, he felt relieved.
"Yes, Madam. The young Marquis has both civil and military skills. He is not only the first in the literary test, but also the first in the martial arts competition. Mr. Wu Mu cherishes talents the most. This time, he specially asked his subordinates to visit Madam, hoping that Madam, the Young Marquis, can join the army.
Wu, after all, Sifanghou is also a member of the army!"
Li Ji said, and handed over the gift card. On the red gift card, there were some shocking golden characters. - Wu Mu of the Great Zhou Dynasty had never given gift cards to anyone, this was the first time!
Li Ji recalled what happened a few days ago.
That day, after the Lantern Festival Wushu Competition ended, he wrote a letter to his immediate superior, preparing to recommend Fang Yun to him. But for some reason, this incident actually alarmed Master Wu Mu. This great Zhou was like a god.
He sent someone to deliver a gift card, saying that he was asking him to visit the Sifang Marquis Mansion.
"The Sifang Hou Mansion is really lucky. Wu Mu has never sent a gift to anyone for decades. This time, he made an exception for an ordinary Lantern Festival martial arts test!"
Li Ji glanced at the gift sticker and felt envious in his heart. With Wu Mu's words, the second son of the Fang family will have a bright future in joining the army!
"Master Li, I'm sorry to help you. This matter is too sudden. Could you please let me think about it carefully?"
Mrs. Huayang took the gift from Wu Mu with both hands, her face solemn, and she did not agree immediately.
Li Ji nodded, indicating that he understood. Although he was a martial artist, he was not stupid. When he saw Zhang Rang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, he knew that there was a Taifu behind this matter.
Not so pure and simple anymore.
After thinking about it, Li Ji added: "Madam, whether you agree with this matter or not, Master Wu Mu hopes that you can give me a message."
"Madam, the Tutor also means the same thing." Zhang Rang cupped his hands and said.
A courtesy call is a formal visit. According to the rules, before Zhang Rang and Li Ji leave the Sifang Hou Mansion, Mrs. Huayang must give a formal reply.
As soon as these two sentences came out, the atmosphere in the main hall of Sifanghou Mansion suddenly became a little solemn.
One was the Taifu of the dynasty, and the other was the military god of the Great Zhou Dynasty. According to the practice of the Great Zhou Dynasty, civil and military officials were divided into civil and military officials. Military attachés were not allowed to hold civilian positions, and civilian officials were not allowed to take military positions. Fang Yun could only choose one of the two!
Mrs. Huayang held two posts in her hands, her heart heavy.
The appearance of these two red gift cards in any aristocratic family in the Great Zhou Dynasty would be enough to make the family go crazy with excitement. One by one, they would bathe and change clothes, burn incense and pay homage to their ancestors. But the Sifang Hou Mansion welcomed two of them at the same time!
Mrs. Huayang glanced sideways at Fang Yun, with mixed emotions in her heart. Fang Yun both won the first place in the martial arts test, which was a great thing. Mrs. Huayang, a mother, was both happy and proud. But with this huge change
With the good news, the Sifang Hou Mansion also fell into a dilemma!
Two posts, which one to choose?
At this time, Fang Yun also tasted a slightly different taste:
"Neither Wu Mu nor Taifu showed up during this visit, but just poor servants. At the same time, neither Wu Mu nor Taifu gave any tangible benefits. Taifu only said that he would accept a named disciple.
.Although the named disciples are disciples, they are supernumerary. As for Wu Mu, it is more straightforward and he just expresses his hope that I will join the army."
Fang Yun lowered his head and pondered, with thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind. In the blink of an eye, he grasped the core of the problem: "This is a dispute between military strategists and Confucianists! I am afraid that the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be troubled."
Fang Yun had a clear mind, and after thinking for a moment, he knew that it was probably the Lantern Festival literary test the day before yesterday, and the last test questions were leaked. The choice between military strategists and Confucianists continued on him again.
However, Fang Yun also understood that although Taifu and Wu Mu were just a trial, they did not make a real commitment. But this does not mean that what they said was empty words. Registered disciples can be converted into formal disciples, and even the next generation can
The Grand Tutor of Zhou. As for Wu Mu, with just a gift letter from Wu Mu, once he joins the army, even the hostile Pingding Marquis and Zhenguo Marquis will not dare to do anything to him in the future. With Wu Mu today,
In a word, it is not a problem to be granted a title of marquis or a title in the future.
Fang Yun is thinking, and so is Mrs. Huayang!
This imperial first-class lady supported the Fang family independently in Shangjing City. During the decades in Shangjing City, this imperial lady basically struggled through the intrigues and intrigues of the noble ladies of the Zhou Dynasty.
She has seen all kinds of tricks and conspiracies.
From these two gifts, Mrs. Huayang also smelled the friction between military strategists and Confucianists.
Promise to Wu Mu or Taifu?
Cold sweat broke out in Mrs. Huayang's hands. For the first time, she felt that this family was in danger of life and death. This danger was invisible, but it did exist.
"Mother," Fang Yun finally spoke after seeing his mother's worried look.
"Mom, can you let me make the decision on this matter?"
Mrs. Huayang hesitated for a moment and glanced at Fang Yun subconsciously. She saw that he looked downcast, confident and generous, as if he had already made up his mind.
"Well, I don't have any good ideas about this matter at the moment. You might as well listen to Yun'er's words. Yun'er is still young, so even if he says something wrong, he can treat it as a child's words and will not anger Wu Mu and Taifu.
——The worst thing is, let your husband resign from the position of marquis and let the family return to their countryside."
Thinking like this, Mrs. Huayang breathed a sigh of relief, but she cast a questioning look at Zhang Rang and Li Ji.
"Madam, Mr. Ling is the party involved in this matter. You might as well listen to what the young husband has to say," Zhang Rang nodded.
"Well, that's what I mean too. If the young Marquis decides to join the army, that would be the best." Li Ji also agreed.
Mrs. Huayang nodded: "Yun'er, if you have anything to say, just say it."
