Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 523 You Find the Wrong Opponent
"You and I will follow the plan the day after tomorrow."

After formulating the detailed measures for "fishing", Fang Yiai cupped a cup of tea and murmured, "Right now, nursery rhymes have a great influence in Chang'an City. If we can catch fish in one fell swoop, the public opinion will be destroyed by itself."

Xue Rengui nodded, "Don't worry, brother, I will work with my heart."

"Duke Ming, did the students follow the plan?" Fan Jin muttered with some hesitation while holding his white beard.

Fang Yiai nodded noncommittally, "Master Fan just go out and spread the word, saying that I am seriously ill, so I won't see any visitors these days."

The three continued to discuss for a while, until the moon was in the sky, and then Fan Jin sent Xue Rengui out of the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

Walking slowly to the main hall, seeing that Gao Yang and the others were already seated, Fang Yiai chuckled lightly, stepped up the steps with her robes lifted, cupped her hands and said, "Ladies, haven't you eaten?"

"The Fang Shilang won't be here, how dare we move the chopsticks first?" Gao Yang scowled, his brows were full of joy, but there was a slight sarcasm in his mouth.

Hearing this, Fang Yiai hurriedly took her seat, picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up a pickled cabbage, said with a smile, "Shu'er, don't eat too much greasy food, eat some pickled cabbage."

"No, people don't like pickled vegetables the most." Gao Yang Dai frowned slightly, shaking her head.

"Perhaps the senior official likes to eat it, so show me a small face and try it." Fang Yiai brought the pectin to Gao Yang, and waited for the beauty to gently open her red lips before showing a bright smile.

"Senior official, senior official?" Fang Yiai stretched out her hand to caress Fa's wife's lower abdomen, and then said with a smile, "Good son!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was laughter in the main hall, Xie Yaohuan nodded and smiled, and Xiangcheng took a light drink, only Qin Jingniang said: "Did the senior official respond to the official?"

"That's right!" Fang Yiai raised her head and said with conviction: "He is the flesh and blood of this palace, and the truth is that father and son are united."

"You talk a lot, let's eat quickly." Gao Yang's cheeks flushed red, he scoffed coquettishly, picked up a slice of vinegared fish, and put it in Fang Yiai's bowl.

After the meal, Fang Yiai talked with Gao Yang for a while, and finally lived in the West Wing as promised.

The phoenix and the phoenix sing in harmony, and there is nothing to say all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Fang Yiai woke up leisurely, and was about to fetch water to wash her face when she heard Fan Jin's tone from outside the door.

"Duke Ming, there are people from the East Palace."

"Huh? Is someone coming from the East Palace?" Fang Yiai put down the washbasin, nodded her head and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Who is it? Do you know what's going on?"

"It's the courtier of the Eastern Palace. Please invite Ming Gong to attend the court meeting."

"Understood, ask him to serve tea in the main hall and wait."

As Fan Jin's footsteps got farther and farther away, Fang Yiai sighed, and said in her heart: "Today's court meeting, I'm afraid it will take some talking."

After hastily washing up, Fang Yiai changed into her clothes, at the same time Xie Yaohuan woke up leisurely, lying on the couch and whispering: "Officer, be more careful."

"Remember, Huan'er, let's rest for a while when it's still early." Fang Yiai put on a long gown and Zhengru scarf, and walked out of the west wing slowly.

When they came to the main hall, Xiao Huangmen was drinking tea accompanied by Fan Jin. Seeing Fang Yiai's arrival, he hurriedly got up and said, "My son-in-law."

"Thank you, father-in-law, please." Fang Yiai coughed twice on purpose, and made an appearance of being sick in front of the little yellow gate.

Xiao Huangmen looked at Fang Yiai in surprise, cupped his hands and said, "Your son-in-law won't change his official clothes?"

Seeing Xiao Huangmen's inquiry, Fang Yiai gave a wry smile, "Fang Jun has no official position right now, where did he get his official clothes?"

"The crown prince ordered the slaves to go to the Ministry of Officials yesterday to get the official clothes and hats, and the son-in-law will put them on." Xiao Huangmen reached out and brought a bundle from the table, and handed it to Fan Jin with both hands, looking quite respectful.

Looking at the burden in Fan Jin's hands, Fang Yiai cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry."

The court meeting could not be neglected, after Fang Yiai changed into official clothes and hats in the inner room, she followed Xiaohuangmen out of the mansion and got on the sedan chair to the East Palace.

In the duty room of the East Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji sat in the second seat and closed his eyes to rest his mind, while in the main seat of Wenban was Fang Yiai's father, Fang Xuanling.

In the past, Changsun Wuji often sat upright. Although this seat was exclusive to Fang Xuanling, the mature and prudent Prime Minister Fang didn't care too much about it, but for some reason today, Changsun Wuji deliberately gave it up.

Fang Xuanling held a cup of tea and drank tea. After dispelling the drowsiness all over his body, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes. He was about to take a nap when he saw Du Ruhui lift the curtain and walked into the guard room.

"Brother Xuanling, congratulations." Du Ruhui cupped his hands as he entered the door, and his words caught the attention of the officials on duty.

Fang Xuanling smiled slightly, puzzled, "Where does the joy come from?"

"Princess Gaoyang is happy, and her last love has an offspring." Du Ruhui sat on Fang Xuanling's right side, held a lamp and said, "Master Fang, the city of Chang'an is so famous like thunder."

Fang Xuanling had already been told by Fan Jin that Gao Yang was happy, but because it was under the shadow of Changsun Chong's death and Chang'an's nursery rhymes, he didn't say anything, and he didn't want others to know.

Ever since Fang Yiai's sword chopped Changsun Chong's coffin, the news of Princess Gaoyang's happiness spread like wildfire. Right now, most people in the room on duty already knew the news, but because of Changsun Wuji's presence, no one touched the bad luck, Du Ruhui, who is of the same rank and rank, would not be afraid.

The matter was revealed by Du Ruhui, there was a burst of laughter in the duty room, Yang Bo, Ma Zhou and others congratulated one after another, even the officials of the Guanlong faction and the Xiao clan said a few words of flattery against their will.

Changsun Wuji sat on the second seat without saying a word, although his face was calm, his heart grew more and more resentful.

"As soon as Chong'er dies, that little bastard Fang Jun will have offspring. One will ebb and flow, and the other will grow. Fang Jun! You must die!"

Just as Changsun Wuji was cursing behind his back, the door curtain of the duty room was suddenly lifted, and then an official in a three-pin crimson official uniform walked into the duty room slowly.

Fang Yi'ai was wearing black gauze and third-rank official clothes, and everyone was puzzled to see it. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, a father and a mentor, also went in without knowing it.

"Yi Ai? This is you?" Yang Bo got up and walked to Fang YiAi's side, stretched out his hand to cover the official clothes that Fang YiAi was wearing, and muttered, "Third grade? A civil servant? Are you appointed as Shangshu Youcheng?"

As soon as this remark came out, all eyes in the value room were directed at Fang Yiai.

Feeling the fiery and puzzled gazes of everyone, Fang Yiai smiled awkwardly, cupped her hands and said to Yang Bo, "Thanks to Long Live's kindness, I have been promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

"What! Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? The son-in-law has been in the ministry at such a young age, and his future is limitless."

"That's right, according to the records in the department hall, he will be promoted to the rank of Minister and rank among the nine ministers just around the corner."

"The son-in-law Yunwen Yunwu, I admire."

The officials who congratulated Fang Yiai were mostly Shandong gentry and commoners from poor families. On the other hand, the Guanlong faction and the Xiao clan all looked embarrassed, and sat in their respective seats nodding their heads in silence, as if they were facing an enemy.

Before Fang Yiai could walk out from the congratulations, a familiar voice came from his ears.

"At the age of 20, he was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. There has never been such a precedent in our dynasty! It has never happened in the previous dynasty! This move is against the law!"

The one who spoke was none other than Zou Yinglong, who was secretly threatened by Fang Yiai with a sword in front of Zhuangyuan Mansion.

Since he took the lead to slip away that day, Zou Yinglong's status in Yushitai has plummeted. Most of the officials despised him. This kind of gap made Zou Yinglong harbor a grudge, and the target of his resentment was naturally Fang Yiai.

"Zou Yushi." Fang Yiai's face darkened, she cupped her hands and said, "This is the will of Long Live, what has it to do with Fang Jun?"

Zou Yinglong got up and flicked his sleeves, and said coldly: "If you hadn't sneaked into the camp behind your back, how could you have ended up as the servant of the Ministry of Punishment?"

What Zou Yinglong meant by forming cliques for selfish purposes was naturally Fang Yiai's visits to the East Palace. Although Fang Yiai walked back and forth in sedan chairs every time, the people in Chang'an City had many eyes, and wanted to distinguish the sedan chair of the famous Fang Yiai's son-in-law. It is not difficult.

Zou Yinglong's sarcasm made Fang Yixin displeased, suppressed his anger, and cupped his hands again, saying: "It's fair to judge whether you want to pursue a career or not. Fang Jun is a Jinshi in this department. He was originally an official and a minister, and he came to the Ministry of Punishment What's wrong, servant?"

"The six ministries are the central place. Promotion and selection need to be reviewed at various levels. Has the house son-in-law ever been transferred to another official? Have you ever studied criminal law? Have you ever been familiar with the affairs of the Criminal Ministry?"

Zou Yinglong's statement is of course well-founded, but he forgot that Fang Yi'ai was once a judge in Caozhou, Henan Province.

Seeing Zou Yinglong's questioning, Fang Yiai kept sneering behind his back, even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui smiled.

"Fang Jun once served as the general judge of Caozhou. Dare I ask Zou Yushi, what is the official position of the general judge?" Fang Yiai's tone is not loud, but the words are sonorous, giving people a feeling of domineering.

Zou Yinglong held the wat board and was about to speak, but saw most of the colleagues around him were smiling, and couldn't help but blush, thinking of Fang Yiai's previous glorious deeds.

"In charge of litigation and prison." After finishing speaking, Zou Yinglong blushed and cupped his hands: "Meng Lang is dismissed."

As soon as this remark came out, Fang Yiai smiled and cupped her hands, at the same time, the room on duty couldn't help thinking of light words.

"Fang Jun was originally the top of the famous commoner list, and even the Fanhan of Bohai Kingdom is no match for him, let alone Zou Yushi."

"That's right, Zou Yushi lives in Yushitai and doesn't pay attention to people's sentiments, so he is naturally no match for Fang Consort."

"Previously the Fanhan of the Bohai Kingdom was said to bow their heads in the Hanyuan Hall, and even the doctors of the Imperial College all admired Fang's son-in-law. It can be seen that you have to choose the right opponent for the impeachment, otherwise you will only bring yourself humiliation."

Zou Yinglong's face turned blue and purple, and finally couldn't hold back his violent temper, he said coldly: "The lower officials have already lost their composure, why do you all need to add insult to injury?"

"Otherwise, otherwise, the teacher who never forgets the past, we are just learning from it."

"you!"

Zou Yinglong has been the censor of Xitai for decades, and he is invincible in the impeachment field, but he did not expect to be defeated by Fang Yi'ai today. Now, facing the ridicule and ridicule of all the officials, he has no choice but to walk out of the room angrily. , went to the door and waited for the court.

Seeing Zou Yinglong leaving in embarrassment, Fang Yi was overjoyed in his heart, but just as he was immersed in joy, a pair of dark eyes behind him were secretly watching him at the same time, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.

Of course, now is not the best time to launch that fatal blow.
