Chapter 615 The True Meaning of the Word of Heaven(1/2)
Fang Zhengzhi certainly knew what Lin Yun meant by asking this sentence.
However, he did not answer Lin Yun's question immediately, but looked at Xingchen at night and asked, "How is the prince and Duan Wang now?"
"The third brother and the sixth brother are now being detained in the heavenly prison. Logically speaking, there should be a result. However, the father's mood recently is not very good, so..." Lin Yun paused when he said this.
Fang Zhengzheng did not answer his question positively, and he also understood the truth. However, when talking about the prince and Duan Wang, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
Since ancient times, imperial families have fought for the throne. Compared with ordinary people's families, the friendship between brothers is actually much more indifferent.
However, no matter how indifferent he is, he is still a brother.
Overnight, the two brothers were taken to the heavenly prison, and it is very likely that they would be executed in the near future. How could Lin Yun have no feelings at all?
When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he nodded slightly and did not ask any further. The prince rebelled, the rebellion of Duan, and Pingyang was taken to Lingyun Tower by Cang Yue.
These three things combined have a heavy blow to the Great Xia Dynasty. Neither Lin Yun nor the Supreme Master Lin Mubai could be in a good mood.
"Since the wise king asked me if I would stay in Beishan Village forever, I guess there should be an order on you?" Fang Zhengzhi waited for a while, and finally picked up the wine glass again and took a sip.
"Yes!" A trace of surprise flashed in Lin Yun's eyes, but after a moment, he returned to peace. Then he nodded and continued: "The Tiandao Pavilion will start the selection in a month and a half. My father asked me to bring you a token. As long as you hold this token, you will be qualified to choose the examination in Tiandao Pavilion."
"In addition to the token, is there another oral order?" Fang Zhengzhi asked again.
"Well, my father's oral order is that if King Cang doesn't want this token and at the same time, he will give up participating in the Tiandao Pavilion selection examination, then within half a year, all affairs of the five affairs of the Beimo Palace will be under the management of King Cang, and the court will never interfere, including the appointment and removal of officials, and... finance!"
"Haha... the emperor means that I am letting me make money openly, right?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled slightly when he heard this.
"There are no outsiders here, so I just said that King Cang saved the country and the people, and the father wanted to repay King Cang in his heart. After all, the holy grace was only a temporary moment, and the merits became the past. Only by establishing a prosperous family for generations is the real long-term solution!" Lin Yun nodded, surprisingly not denied it.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't say anything anymore.
He understood what Lin Yun said, and the emperor Lin Mubai gave himself the appointment and removal power of officials from the five palaces of the Northern Desert to himself, which fully explained his purpose.
Of course, this purpose is not as simple as it appears.
This time, the Holy Barbarian Dynasty invaded 300,000 troops, using the five palaces of the North Desert as the entrance. Although this was related to Su Qing's betrayal and the prince's rebellion.
However, it is unlikely to say that it has nothing to do with the poor supervision of the Shenhou Mansion.
The most important thing is...
When the incident happened, the man from Shenhou Chi Hong was still in Yanjing City.
Of course, the Holy Lord Lin Mubai is not stupid. How could he not know the purpose of the Shenhou Chihong taking advantage of the opportunity to escort Fang Zhengzheng to enter Yanjing City to help King Duan?
King Duan rebelled. Although the Shenhou Chi Hong did not participate directly, who can be completely sure that Chi Hong was completely unaware of this matter?
At this time, the Supreme Master Lin Mubai gave Fang Zhengzhi the appointment and removal of officials from the five palaces of the Northern Desert to Fang Zhengzhi. On the one hand, it was favor, and on the other hand, it also had the intention of cleaning up the remnants and checking and balancing each other.
The Great Xia Dynasty has not been short of money over the years. The half-year finance of the Five Conservatories in the Beimo Dynasty is just a drop in the Great Xia Dynasty.
There is an old saying that the world belongs to the emperor, so how can you care about whose hands the money is in? If you want it, just put it there!
The thirteen princesses were granted marriage.
Give yourself another half a year to make money in the Northern Desert and cultivate power.
If you follow the normal plan.
After half a year, he died. Then, the Fang family's ruler was naturally handed over to the Thirteenth Princess. The son he gave birth to was somewhat considered a royal relative, with half of the royal bloodline.
In addition, Yan Xiu has now been officially named King of Yan and is in charge of the Western Liang Yan clan.
Beimo, Xiliang.
Grace, checks and balances, involvement, and three parties take into account.
The card that everyone won together was very good, and no wonder they would marry the Thirteenth Princess. If this were replaced by an ordinary family daughter, I'm afraid the Supreme Master Lin Mubai would really not want to.
If Fang Zhengzhi guessed it well, what plans should be managed by the Five Northern Democratic Palaces and what other matters should be arranged and removed by officials, the Supreme Lord Lin Mubai has already discussed with the Thirteenth Princess in detail.
After all, everyone knows that with a straight and upright personality, it is impossible to really manage the Five Convents of Beimo seriously. Then, the Thirteenth Princess gives advice and blowing the wind beside her pillow is naturally the most appropriate thing.
Of course...
To some extent, these things have nothing to do with integrity.
Because, for Fang Zhengzheng, he married a gentle, virtuous and beautiful princess, then started a plan to create a man by singing every day, and then became a "mountain king" in the five palaces of the North Desert for half a year. After his death, he could still leave his glory for several lifetimes.
This itself is a formidable pursuit of life.
Why not do it?
"Even if the management of the Five Northern Deserts is not enough, I still like freedom." Fang Zhengzhi smiled again, shook his head gently, and replied to Lin Yun.
"Even if you manage the five palaces of the Northern Desert, you still have freedom. The court will not control or interfere. Moreover, if King Cang is unwilling to take care of specific matters, you can still..." Lin Yun stopped halfway through his words, and then sighed softly: "I understand. Since King Cang has made up his mind, I won't say more. This is the token to participate in the Tiandao Pavilion selection test!"
Lin Yun also took out an exquisite wooden token from his arms, which was antique and carved the word "Tao Dao" on the front of the token.
On the other hand, there are various cloud patterns.
"I don't want this token." Fang Zheng passed the token directly in Lin Yun's hand, and gently touched the token, and then pushed the token back to Lin Yun again.
"No?" Lin Yun was stunned.
Just now, the reason why he did not persuade him was because he clearly saw firmness in Fang Zhengzheng's eyes. It was because of this that he swallowed the words behind him again.
But now...
Fang Zhengzhi actually said he didn’t want a token?
This made him a little confused. He didn't want to manage the Five Northern Deserts and didn't want tokens?
"Well, I don't want it." Fang Zhengzhi nodded seriously.
"Are you not going to participate in the Tiandao Pavilion selection? If King Cang decides not to participate, why is he unwilling to accept the will of his father? In fact, this matter..." Lin Yun seemed to suddenly remember something when he was halfway through his speech, and looked at Wu Yuer sitting next to him, feeling a little reluctant to speak.
"It has nothing to do with her." Fang Zhengzhi looked at Lin Yun's appearance, and naturally guessed what Lin Yun was thinking, and pointed at Wu Yu'er beside him.
When Wu Yuer heard this, she raised her head slightly and let out a soft hum, but she didn't say anything.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yun became more and more confused.
He knew Wu Yu'er's identity. It was because of his knowledge that he thought that Fang Zhengzhi would have some concerns about Wu Yu'er. Moreover, he even thought that if it really didn't work, let Wu Yu'er and the Thirteenth Princess become their husbands at the same time.
This is almost impossible for the royal family.
However, under the current circumstances, he had to make such a decision, and he knew that the Lord Lin Mubai would definitely not object.
However, Fang Zhengzhi said that it has nothing to do with Wu Yuer?
Then why?
"If it has nothing to do with the leader of Wu Sect, I really don't know the reason." Lin Yun was calm. He really didn't understand this time.
"The King of Wise thinks, if I really go to participate in this Tiandao Pavilion election, how many opportunities will I pass?" Fang Zhengzhi asked casually.
"This... I don't know much about the selection of Tiandao Pavilion, because I am not qualified to watch it. In the past, only the father, the third brother and the sixth brother were qualified in the Daxia Dynasty. Of course, according to my personal opinion, although King Cang is only returning to the Light Realm now, if he really participates in the selection of Tiandao Pavilion, he will have at least 70% chance of passing, and it may even be higher!" Lin Yun told the truth.
"I don't think so." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"Did King Cang have no confidence? But, King Cang has not always been..."
"The selection of Tiandao Pavilion is different. I have learned that the annual assessment of Tiandao Pavilion is based on the six virtues, six abilities, and six arts. Moreover, the questions are completely different every year. It can be said that if you want to pass the selection of Tiandao Pavilion, it mostly depends on luck and the cultivation of your own mind."
"I don't think of King Cang's character..."
"Fortune is just a 55-5. Of course, I'm not worried about this alone, but I'm afraid the Tiandao Pavilion is already aware of my life for half a year. So, the wise king really thinks that Tiandao Pavilion will recruit someone who has not lived for half a year into the cabinet?" Fang Zhengzhi shook his head and interrupted Lin Yun.
"this……"
"And, even if you really recruit into the cabinet, will the Xianwang think that the Tiandao Pavilion will give me resources? Or in other words, the Tiandao Pavilion will bet that I will definitely be a saint within half a year. No, it will be four months. When the Tiandao Pavilion selection test is over, I will only have four months left. The Xianwang thinks that the Tiandao Pavilion will give me enough resources to break through the holy realm within four months?" Fang Zhengzhi asked again.
"This..." Lin Yun was silent.
Of course he could understand the meaning of Fang Zhengzhen's words. Although Tiandao Pavilion has a foothold in fairness and justice, it does not have much prejudice against every disciple. It does not ask about birth, origin, but only asks about talent and potential.
But……
How can there be complete fairness and justice in this world?
Tiandao Pavilion is not willing to spend time and energy to recruit a disciple who is about to die. Moreover, as Fang Zhengzhi said, even if Fang Zhengzhi really ranks at the forefront with excellent assessment results, Tiandao Pavilion has no choice but to recruit.
But what about after entering the Tiandao Pavilion?
The best result is to treat Fang Zhengzhen as fair as other disciples, and more than 90% of the possibility is to offer Fang Zhengzhen as a "vase".
No matter what the result is, it is not what Fang Zhengzheng wants.
"Then... how should King Cang respond? Do you not plan to participate in the Tiandao Pavilion selection test?" Lin Yun finally asked again after being silent for a long time.
"No, I'll attend."
"Why did King Cang insist on participating in the Tiandao Pavilion's selection exam?"
"Because, an agreement!"
"Agreement? But how do you participate without a token? Moreover, King Cang just said that even if you really participate, the hope of being selected for the Tiandao Pavilion is very slim."
“Normally, that’s it!”
"I... don't quite understand how King Cang will participate in the Tiandao Pavilion's selection exam?"
"I haven't figured this out yet." Fang Zhengzhi spread his hands, showing helplessness, and then looked at the sky again: "Isn't there an old saying that the road is made by people. Only by lifting their feet and walking, will you find that there is a road under your feet!"
To be continued...
