The royal family of the Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 506 Divergence

A wave is not flat, and a wave rises again.

After the thirty-eight civilian marquis wrote the letter, it was followed by many dignitaries in the capital, princes and ministers, small officials, and generals' petitions. The status of these people is less than the top and more than the bottom. Most importantly, there are a lot of them. When a full three or four hundred documents were handed over to support Fang Yunfenghou, it once again caused shock in all sides.

Three or four hundred princes and ministers, too small officials, almost all of whom have children under the name of Fang Yun. These people follow the Confucian system of three wives and four concubines, with many children. However, those who can be sent to the school to study are undoubtedly very important.

Fang Yun pulled these students from the school palace into his own name. It is equivalent to putting all these on his own Zhanfeng and branding him as Fangyun. In the future, even if he falls down, the brand on these people will not be removed.

Instead of being suppressed in the future, it's better to be Jiang now. What's more, there are 38 princes in front of them, and they are much more at ease when they do it!

The so-called one person gets the way, and the dog rises to the sky. If the Fang family gains power, the children who follow Fang Yun under their knees will certainly be as good as Tailai! What's more, the Fang family is far from falling down.

thirty-eight princes, including Marquis Zhongxin, wrote a letter, which increased the weight of the Fang family in their hearts. That's why thirty-eight princes wrote first, and other princes and empress dowager wrote.

All this was carried out under the help of Fang Yun!

In the mansion of Pingding Marquis.

"Dumb!"

The door was pushed open, and Zhang Ying crossed the door and slammed in. He bowed and said respectfully, "Father, His Royal Highness is waiting outside the door and asking you to go out to see him!"

After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Ying continued, "Father..., Your Highness, the law seems to be very excited!"

On the desk, Zhong Xinhou, who was writing, heard the words and the tip of his pen stopped. He has been motionless for a long time and seems to be facing some kind of contradictory struggle. It was not until the sound of "tarts" that an ink trick fell from the pen dust paint and fell on the paper, rendering a black spot, and then he came to his senses.

"Yinger", Zhongxin Hou and his robe shook, and his left hand stretched out. As soon as there was a lead-free letter prepared by the desk, Fei went over: "Give this letter to the prince. Just say that I'm sick in bed. It's not convenient to see him. In addition, seeing a letter is like seeing someone!"

Zhongxinhou obviously expected the arrival of Prince Liu Xiu. Even the letters are ready.

"Yes, father!"

Zhang Ying nodded, picked up the letter on the table, turned around, and walked out.

Outside the mansion of the Marquis of Zhongxin, a row of Yidu, composed of young maids of honor, eunuchs and imperial guards in brocade, stood outside the door. In the center of the guard of honor, there is a bronze horse like a dragon.

The emperor drives nine, and the prince drives eight.

In this eight-horse-like green key carriage, the prince Liu Xiu is sitting with his eyes closed, and his face is gloomy. He has always had great respect for and trust in Zhongxinhou. Unexpectedly, Zhongxinhou took him up this time.

He has such energy, but he has never shown it. It's not that he doesn't know Fang Yun and his current position. But he actually helped Fang Yun like this. Prince Liu Fang was very angry, not only because Zhongxinhou helped Fang Yun, but also because of a betrayed anger.

Prince Liu Xiu did not go out, he was waiting. When Zhong Xinhou comes out, give him an explanation. His face was slightly flushed, and he was obviously trying to suppress a sense of anger.

"Your Highness", a sound of footsteps came from outside the carriage: "My father felt slightly uncomfortable and was lying in bed. I'm afraid I can't come out to greet him. This is the letter he invited to His Royal Highness, saying that he will understand after reading it.

Zhang Ying's voice sounded from outside the curtain of the carriage. He stood by the carriage, bowing his head and behaved well.

Liu Xiu suddenly opened his eyes and flashed a touch of anger. When he arrived here, Zhongxinhou actually gave me an excuse and avoided seeing him. He didn't know the current affairs. He wanted to see what excuse he had.

', bring me the letter!"

Liu Xiu put one hand out of the window, and immediately an eunuch took the letter from Zhang Ying and handed it in.

"Spit!"

Liu Xiu immediately tore open the letter and took out the letter. In his indignation, he didn't notice that the letter was not sealed.

"'chen, minister Zhang Ren, pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince--..." The first sentence of the loyal marquis is not a "sin minister", nor a "micro minister", but a " minister". After reading the first paragraph, Liu Xiu's heart suddenly faded a lot.

As soon as she finished reading the letter, Liu Fang couldn't help sighing. Infinite accounts in my heart.

In the letter, Zhang Ren, the Marquis of Zhongxin, did not have much explanation for his behavior. I didn't look for any hunting. To boil down, there is only one sentence, "If you are in a cage, you have to get it."

The civilian marquis of the Zhou Dynasty is not necessarily for himself. Just like the nobles, they don't want their descendants to herd cattle and sell horses, which is equal to that of ordinary people. Civilian marquises also do not want their descendants to be destined to plough the land to weave clothes and live a too prosperous life.

In the same words, different people naturally have different effects when they say it. Zhongxinhou's letter is true and affectionate, and he almost fell in love with Liu Xiu's temperament. After a letter, Liu Xiu was also moved by it, and his anger disappeared a lot.

"That's it, that's it...—..." Liu Xiu sighed, folded the letter and put it in his arms. I picked up the East Palace.

'The eight seals and marquis's documents, together with the documents of many small officials, caused a sensation, is enough to make six officials at all levels re-examine the matter of Fang Yun's arrival.

Fang Zong has three marquises, and the voice of opposition is not small. But the voice of support is also not small. The joint support letters of thirty-eight princes are extremely important. No one can do it.

Some sharp people directly felt that the simple thing of Fang Yunfeng Marquis, because the Fang family already had two princes, began to become extremely miscellaneous. Not only is it mixed with the conflict of "the way of kings and ministers", but it is also mixed with the pods and confrontation between the two princes and princes of the Zhou Dynasty. It's very difficult to make a decision.

In the stingy, in the government of the military department, the lights are bright. The guard outside the government gate is strict.

At this time, the Taitang of the Ministry of War was closed, and dozens of candles lit up the hall. Officials at all levels of the Ministry of War gathered here. In addition to the military officials, the six officials, including the Ministry of Li, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Ceremonies and the Ministry of officials, all gathered here.

Among the six, the military department is the most special. In addition to the Ministry of War, which is an accommodation institution between Confucianism and military families, it is also because behind the Ministry of War, the real master is Taibao, one of the three princes. Therefore, after Fang Yun's problem lasted for a long time, the six ministers chose to educate in the Ministry of War.

The sandalwood tables are too long, decorated with cloud patterns, connected to the internal government of the Ministry of War. Dozens of small officials sat opposite each other, whispered and communicated with each other.

"Li Tairen, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I don't know what's the conclusion of your Ministry of Criminal Justice about Fang Yun's sealing of the Marquis?

Zhang Wen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, suddenly said.

Li Juzheng, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, answered: "Fang Yun is in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and there is no case file. Taizong also knows the background of his clan. In terms of his innocence, he has absolutely no problem. But we all know that what we are talking about now is not this, —......——"

Li Ju's point is on the right time. When he was tried by the three halls, he played Yang Hong. He is one of the presiding judge. For Fang Yun, he always has a good impression.

"The impeachment files of Confucian students from all over the country - I think the Tai family has received it. But now, generals from all over the court also have documents," Zhao Ke, the secretary of the Ministry of officials, has taken out a dozen thick files.

Seeing a dozen thick documents in Zhao Ke's hand, everyone was sad. During this period, they have shepherded a lot of all kinds of documents and chapters. The government departments almost couldn't put it down.

Six departments have been discussing the title of marquis, and they have always stood wildly. Very little influenced by others. But this matter can no longer be independently reviewed by six departments. Among them, Xu Ziren's teacher even came in.

"The second son of the Fang family, Fenghou, implicated his wife!"-"

Zhang Gong, the secretary of the Ministry of Ceremonies, sighed. Courtesy is the foundation of the country. The so-called etiquette collapses, and the country does not exist. Among the six, the Ministry of Ceremonies is the most rigid. They are basically old Confucians.

The rules pursued by the Ministry of Ceremonies have always been done according to the rules. According to the rules, there is no problem for Fang Yunfenghou. Whether it is war achievements or conduct, there is no problem. But what is revealed behind this matter is the conflict with the "way of kings and ministers". Even the mixed disputes between princes and princes made a class of old Confucians in the Ministry of Ceremonies, with contradictions and struggles in their hearts.

In the back, the psychological impact on the Ministry of Ceremonies is actually the most.

', yes! Yes!" ......—", Zhang Gong, the secretary of the Ministry of Ceremonies, was immediately sent three people's feelings in the hall, with a look of empathy. Even the old minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, who has always been upright, not affectionate, and rigid and old-fashioned, has sent out this kind of human feeling. The complex background of Fang Yunfeng Hou Gan can be seen.

' - In any case, this matter cannot be delayed for too long. Even if it can't come to an end quickly, there must be at least one countermeasure. What should I do if I know this?"

The secretary of the Ministry of War is thrifty.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone was thinking.

"There's nothing we can do. In this matter, we can only ask for the resolution of the three public again!"

Li Juzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, had this kind of experience. After a while of silence, he immediately proposed.

In the Taitang, it was quiet. No one squeaked. It's not a glorious thing to talk about the three public resolutions. Proud to be six officials, the first step of the title of marquis is up to them to decide. This is a rake. If you can't make a decision and ask the three princes everywhere, you can only seem to be incompetent and indebted to the emperor!

So I know that if you ask the third father-in-law, you must reply. But no one immediately proposed this.

"I have no choice but to do this!"

Zhao Ke, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has glanced at the mountain-like documents on the table and said helplessly.

'—It has to be like this."

After a long silence, someone echoed Lu Du. The six rulings are so difficult, not just because of the outside impeachment documents or plays. It's because these six officials themselves have agreed to the matter of Fang Yunfenghou. Because of its own skepticism, it is difficult to adjudicate, so when external inducements appear, it becomes more difficult to adjudicate.

Soon, a letter of six confessions was locked in the Taihe Hall, where the three princes were.

However, it is different from everyone's expectations. In the past, San Gong quickly approved the reply three days late this time. It was not until the morning of the fourth day that the reply of the third Duke was sent to the Ministry of War.

"............—, Zhao Fangyun, go back to Beijing to work!"

After the ruling of the three public, the six parts shook. This kind of shock is not a decision of the three public resolutions against Fang Yun. It's the information behind this decision.

Combined with the delay in failing to give an answer to the matter, one thing became obvious - "Fang Yun Fenghou" did not even have Ding Ling in the matter of "Fang Yun Fenghou".

That is to say, even the third prince himself has a disagreement on whether Fang Yun is a marquisor or not! This is what shocked the officials of all ministries!
