Just when Fang Yun was in the study, thinking about countermeasures, the housekeeper Liang Bo knocked on Fang Yun's door.
"Thank you, Uncle Liang. Just put the letter on the table."
Fang Yundao.
"Yes, Master."
Uncle Liang put the letter on the desk, and then respectfully left. When he left, he closed the door again. He did not want Fang Yun to be disturbed.
He has also heard the news from outside. Uncle Liang has been in the Fang family for a long time, and he has almost watched Fang Yun grow up. He knows that this young master especially likes to think quietly in the study room since he started practicing martial arts.
The letter on the desk was plain white, which was the letter paper that Confucianists loved to use. Fang Yun picked up the letter, and a line of writing came into view. Fang Yun's eyelids jumped when he saw this line of writing, it was from his teacher Guo Boji!
Fang Yun quickly opened the envelope, opened it, and a familiar line of ink immediately came into view:
"Fang Yun:
When you read this letter, my teacher has already sat on the carriage, left the academy, and headed to Xi'er City. My teacher has also been paying attention to the matter of your title of marquis. "One sect and three marquises", for
The teacher has also hesitated several times. However, the teacher has always been loyal to the teacher. A person who can write elegant handwriting as skin and square as bone is definitely not a person with ulterior motives!"
"I have heard about the letter of impeachment from eighteen royal princes. All I can do is to do my last meager effort. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself. - I am gone. Don't think about it.
, don’t think about it.”
After reading just a few lines of words, Fang Yun couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. As if, he saw an old man with gray hair, slightly bowed, sitting in a carriage, heading west: "Teacher..."
At the same time that Fang Yun received Guo Boji's letter, more than a dozen letters were sent to the six ministries and the hands of more than a dozen ministers and great Confucians both inside and outside the court.
The character of a great scholar would never seek personal gain for himself. Although Fang Yun is a disciple of Guo Boji, it is absolutely impossible for Guo Boji to write letters to his classmates, friends, and nephews in both the government and the public to plead for mercy!
The contents of Guo Boji's letters to the six ministries and a dozen influential ministers and scholars both inside and outside the court were almost very simple. He just wrote down his feelings about getting along with Fang Yun for a period of time in as objective a tone as possible.
With the character of a great Confucian, even though Guo Boji was Fang Yun's teacher, his words were still very credible and authoritative.
In Guo Boji's letter, although he did not expressly plead with the Six Ministries, he also did not expressly support Fang Yun's enfeoffment.
But in his capacity, writing this remark is no different from openly supporting Fang Yun to become a marquis.
Guo Boji was once a second-rank official in the Zizheng Pavilion. In his capacity, he made this remark and immediately gained the support of many great Confucian scholars. Even many old Confucian scholars with old-fashioned ideas and old-fashioned ideas could not help but change their stance.
These people don't know Fang Yun well. It is said that "it is difficult to draw a tiger's skin but not its bones, and it is difficult to know a person's face but not his heart". These old and great scholars have not had much contact with Fang Yun, and they do not understand Fang Yun very well. But there are
With Guo Boji, things were different. At least, in terms of character, Fang Yun was no longer attacked by these old and famous Confucians.
After Guo Boji's letter spread, Confucianism's attack on Fang Yun weakened a lot for a while. As a result, the voices supporting Fang Yun's enfeoffment as a marquis still had the upper hand.
Several letters from Guo Boji made Fang Yun's situation in Confucianism much better. However, it was still useless in alleviating the pressure on the princes of the Eighteenth Royal Family.
Holding the letter from his teacher Guo Boji, Fang Yun thought about it for a long time.
"If you want to take it first, you must give it to it. If you want to break the situation this time, you can only ask that person to show up."
Fang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and flashes of thought flashed through his eyes. After a while, letters were sent to various states and governments through secret channels.
The next day, the voice of support for Fang Yun suddenly weakened a lot. Even the princes and nobles in the capital city, many of whose heirs served under Fang Yun, suddenly fell silent. The originally balanced situation suddenly turned towards the other side.
Clouds tilt in extremely unfavorable directions.
In the inner garden of the palace, in a main hall.
"Your Highness, as you expected. Eighteen royal princes took action to support Fang Yun, and their voices immediately dropped."
A man in blue clothes and dressed as a counselor said. This man is thin and has bright eyes. His black hair is combed upwards and inserted with a black hairpin. Under his chin, there are a few strands of long beard fluttering.
It's quite a bit of an immortal spirit.
"Well," in the main hall, the prince Liu Qi, wearing a golden robe, was sitting upright, exuding a majestic air: "Mr. Wu Da, be ready to contact a few uncles and let them prepare to take action."
"Yes, Your Highness." Mr. Wu Da bowed slightly and saluted.
Standing up, Mr. Wu Da frowned: "Your Highness, please forgive me. This time, Your Highness stood up to support Fang Yun. Although he could win the favor of the Fang family, the Thirteenth Prince took the lead in this matter.
, show your good will first. If we want to recruit the Fang family, it may be difficult. According to what my subordinates have seen..."
"So what do you think?" Liu Qi looked unmoved and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Mr. Wu Da glanced at Liu Qi, hesitated for a moment, and finally said boldly: "This matter requires your highness to expend a lot of energy. But the effect is laborious and thankless. According to what I see, even if your highness is missing
The Fang family is also more powerful than the Crown Prince Liu Xiu and the Thirteenth Prince Liu Che. There is no need to work hard to win over Fang Yun. Since Fang Yun cannot be completely won over, it is better to simply destroy him so that the Thirteenth Prince cannot use him. Let him be sealed
Hou’s hope has come to nothing!”
"Hmph!" Liu Qi sneered, stood up, and swung his sleeves behind him: "Mr. Wu Da, you haven't met Fang Yun yet and don't know him well. That's why you said such things.
."
"Fang Yun was granted the title of Marquis this time because he was a drunkard and did not care about drinking. Don't look at Fang Yun's incident of being granted the title of Marquis. It caused uproar in the city and shocked the whole world. But to Fang Yun, this kind of thing is just a game! That is,
It’s a game, so the result doesn’t matter!”
After Liu Qi said this, he flicked his sleeves with a bang.
"ah!"
Mr. Wu Da was stunned when he heard this.
Liu Qi glanced at Mr. Wu Da, shook his head, and said: "Being a prince is just a means, not an end. The ultimate goal is powerful force. With Fang Yun's current strength, do you think he would care about the title of a prince?
?”
Mr. Wu Da was startled, and then fell silent.
"Mr. Wu Da, let me ask you, how many people do you think have offended Marquis Tianwu and still walked out of Marquis Tianwu's mansion unscathed?"
Liu Qidao.
"this……"
Mr. Wu Da immediately fell silent.
"A phoenix will always be a phoenix, and a pheasant will always be a pheasant. Even if it flies on a branch, it is still not a phoenix. Even if a phoenix falls to the ground, it is still a phoenix. For a person like Fang Yun, even if we cannot be friends,
Don’t be his enemy either!—Go ahead!”
Liu Qi waved his hand, and Mr. Wu Da took the order without hesitation and left.
…………
Two days later, the Navy Governor, Prince Rong, and ten royal princes supported Fang Yunwen and appeared at the desk of the Sixth Department. This unusual scene silenced many forces in the upper capital.
Even people like Ping Ding Hou and Zhen Guo Hou were solemn when they heard the news. When the feudal princes incident was involved in the fight between princes, all the princes in the Zhou Dynasty couldn't help but feel guilty.
numb.
Although the Thirteenth Prince Liu Che and the Prince Liu Qi did not publicly quarrel with each other, everyone knew that the hostility between these two people was inevitable. No one expected that Fang Yun would get the two most prominent figures in the palace at the same time.
The favor and support of the royal prince.
There is no doubt that both Liu Che and Liu Qi are extending an olive branch to win over Fang Yun!
"Finally here!"
When Fang Yun received the news, he finally showed a smile. In this dispute that engulfed all parties, it was difficult for the Fang family alone to win. If Fang Yun wants to win this dispute, he must be like Yang
As Hong said, "take advantage of the situation"!
When the princes of the Eighteenth Royal Family appeared, Fang Yun knew that the only one who could help him at this time was Liu Qi. Fang Yun knew very well that Liu Qi was waiting for an opportunity. Waiting for his most critical moment,
Then he stood up and gave himself a hand in the name of the savior. Even so, Fang Yun simply created this opportunity for himself, so that the officials of various states and governments who supported him took the initiative to silence themselves. Creating a kind of self-defeating situation.
A precarious image of a person.
In the afternoon of this day, Fang Yun answered the call and entered Liu Qi's palace.
"You're here!"
Liu Qi sat above the main hall, looked at the door and smiled.
"Your Highness, we meet again!"
Fang Yun smiled and stepped into the hall: "Thank you for this matter!"
Liu Qi smiled calmly and said directly:
"Fang Yun, do you still remember what I said? I can give you what Liu Che can give you! As long as you can help me completely, then the Fang family will definitely be more prominent in the future than it is now. And I can even directly canonize you
For Wuhou!"
Fang Yun was silent for a while, and said after a moment: "Your Highness, I don't want to hide it from you. The battle between princes is of great importance and has always been the burial place of princes and generals. Fang Yun has not been involved in it for the time being.
Please allow me to consider the plan carefully, Your Highness."
Liu Qi was startled, as if he didn't expect Fang Yun to be so direct. After a moment, he burst out laughing:
"Hahaha, okay! It's refreshing to talk to smart people! - Fang Yun! I won't force you, I will give you time to think about it. No matter what the outcome is, I still say the same thing. Liu Che can give it to you
I can give it to you. Whatever Liu Che can’t give you, I can give it to you! - Just go ahead."
"Then Fang Yun takes his leave."
Fang Yun bowed slightly, saluted, and left.
The prince Liu Qi was able to endure it for many years, and it was only when the war broke out overseas that he revealed it. His scheming was incomparable to other people. Lying in front of such people is almost stupid, but it is more credible to tell the truth!
