Yao Yao and Fangyue were arrested and imprisoned in the Tinglu Department Prison. At the same time, under Fang Jian's arrangement, the incident between Yao Yao and Fangyue became known throughout the city.
Even though the Yao clan was furious, they did not dare to ask the Great Court to find out who had spread the video, because the current Yao clan could be said to have a bad reputation in Yujing City.
In fact, it's not that everyone doesn't know the flowers that the nobles play with, but no matter how much they spend, they can't be so disrespectful and shameless.
The Yao family dare not leave the front door now. Once they go out, they will be looked down upon by everyone in Yujing City.
Therefore, just ten days after Yao Yao was arrested and sent to the Tinglu Division, Yao Xiang, the crown prince of Qianzhao Dao Kingdom, rushed to Yujing City day and night in accordance with the decree of the country's leader Yao Cheng Dao Zun.
Therefore, one more person was discussing matters on the forum, Yao Xiang, the Crown Prince of Qian Zhao Dao Kingdom.
Of course, because the fifteen young ministers of the Jingshan Taoist Kingdom insisted on asking for orders to kill Yao Yao and Fangyue five days ago, the next day's meeting did not announce that they should go to the forum to discuss matters, but asked them to go back to watch the funeral of Prince Yunhao. , and then notify them after the results of the discussion at the forum are reached.
At the same time, the mission that had been away from Yujing for more than a month finally returned to Yujing City from Jingshan Taoist Kingdom. Then Jiang E and Yumi went to the forum to resume their duties. They had already taken Mrs. Yao Xing back to Yujing City.
On the same day, a Luan Yu drove into Tianzhao Immortal Palace, and the Yao family immediately came out to take Mrs. Yao Yun to live in the inner palace.
The next day, Mrs. Yao Yun, who had just returned to Yujing City, participated in the discussion at the forum in the name of 'Mrs. the King of Pure Good Way'.
This discussion is extremely confidential. Only the five major regent bloodlines among the Shangqing are eligible to participate in the meeting. The rest of the people participating in this discussion are all Taoist-level figures.
After three days of closed-door deliberations at the forum, an edict came down from the forum, ordering General Yi Zhen of the Zuo Army to dispatch 50,000 troops into Yujing City, 10,000 to guard the Zongfan Courtyard, and the remaining 40,000 to take over the Qinglong, Baihu, Patrol duties on Xuanwu and Zhuque Streets.
The sergeants of the day and night patrols were ordered to return to their respective mansions and were not allowed to come out. Only the captains of the day and night patrols were allowed to come and go freely.
At the same time, the above-mentioned four major streets implemented a curfew. After dusk, no one below Shaoqing was allowed to go out on the streets without authorization, otherwise they would be shot.
Fang Jian stood in front of the gate of the Zongfan Courtyard, looking at the brightly lit but empty streets with only teams of halberds and murderous sergeants patrolling the streets. His eyes flashed slightly, and he turned and entered the Zongfan Courtyard. .
Ten days have passed since Prince Yunhao's Zi Palace entered the city. Now the Jingshan Daoguo Palace in Zongfanyuan is basically filled with people from Jingshan Daoguo.
After Fang Jian entered the main hall where Prince Yunhao was laid to rest, he found the fifteen young ministers of Jingshan Taoist Kingdom and said to them, "Everyone, please move to the backyard."
After saying that, Fang Jian turned around and left the hall and went directly to the backyard.
Although the fifteen young ministers were confused, they did not hesitate. Instead, they got up together and followed Fang Jian to the backyard.
After arriving in the backyard, Fang Jian used the power of 'Dao·Law' to shield the place so that no one could spy on the content of their conversation.
"Captain Fang, what's the matter with you calling us here?" The young ministers looked at Fang Jian and asked.
Fang Jian said: "Young ministers, the action at the forum today is unusual. It is possible that things have changed."
"Change?" Everyone's expressions froze, and then they looked at Fang Jian.
Fang Jian said: "Mrs. Yao Yun returned to Yujing City three days ago."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and a female young minister said angrily: "Why did the Lord let her come back?!"
"Not to mention this, she didn't come to pay homage to the prince when she returned to Yujing!"
"Sacrifice? Is a cat crying over a mouse? The prince's death must have a lot to do with her."
Fang Jian raised his hand to stop everyone from venting their grievances, but said: "Not only Mrs. Yao Yun returned to Yujing, but also the crown prince of Qianzhao Dao Kingdom came to Yujing. He must be here because of Yao Yao's matter."
"So what?" A young minister said: "The evidence about Yao Yao and Fangyue is conclusive, and everyone in Yujing City knows it!"
Fang Jian said: "You might as well listen to my guess. What if Mrs. Yao Yun forgives Yao Yao and Fangyue in the name of the wife of the king of Jingshan Tao?"
"What?! How could she do this?!" Everyone was suddenly shocked and angry.
Fang Jian said: "This is just my guess, but it should be close to ten. If the Yao family is willing to give up some interests to the other four major families and the Taoists, it will not be difficult to keep Yao Yao and Fangyue. And Zuo Jun Fifty thousand people have entered the city, and 10,000 of them are 'on duty' at the Zongfanyuan. They say they are on duty, but in fact they are monitoring the Jingshan Taoist Kingdom."
When the young ministers heard this, they were all angry and aggrieved. Another female young minister cried and said: "Why? Our Jingshan Taoist Kingdom is also a feudal state of the Great Court. Why is the forum so biased?" "
"Why? Huh!" said a male young minister: "Just because their surname is Yao! They are the blood of Taoist Taoist Taishi!"
"Why don't we go to the forum together to ask for an explanation!" said a young minister.
This proposal was immediately approved by everyone, but Fang Jian said: "No, there is a curfew outside. If you dare to leave the vassal courtyard now, they will dare to kill you."
Hearing this, everyone was filled with grief and anger, and several female young ladies even squatted on the ground and cried helplessly.
"How could my country be insulted like this? How could we allow it to be insulted like this!" the young ministers said sadly.
Fang Jian sighed, then looked at everyone calmly and said, "I have something to say, do you want to hear it?"
The young ministers raised their heads one after another and looked at Fang Jian with helpless faces. Then they stood up and worshiped: "Captain Fang, please give me some advice."
Fang Jian said: "What you have to do now is not to ask for explanations from the Daoting or the forum in Yujing City, but to return to Jingshan Dao Kingdom immediately."
"Return to Jingshan Dao Kingdom?" When everyone heard this, their eyes were confused.
Fang Jian nodded and said: "Yes, return to Jingshan Taoist Kingdom. You have no backing in Yujing City, so you cannot fight the Yao family. Your strength is all in Jingshan Taoist Kingdom. Do you understand what I mean?" "
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and their eyes immediately lit up. Indeed, all their power was in Jingshan Dao Kingdom, not in Yujing.
But "But, will the forum let us go back now?"
Fang Jian said: "This is the way I have come up with for you. Starting tomorrow, you will cry at the gate of the Zongfan Courtyard and request Feng Yunhao Prince Zi Gong to return to the country. If the forum really reaches a certain agreement with the Yao family as I said, If there is an interest agreement, then they will never reject your petition."
Everyone's eyes brightened up. At this moment, they had direction and goals again, so they swept away their decadence and thanked Fang Jian one after another.
Sure enough, things were pretty much what Fang Jian had imagined. The next day, the forum issued an edict, mainly to inform the people in Yujing City about something.
That is, Young Master Yao Yao has an "engagement contract" with Fangyue of the Jingshan Tao Kingdom for a long time. The two have been engaged for a long time, but they have not yet consummated their marriage. The wife of the Jingshan Tao Kingdom can testify to this.
Therefore, what happened between Yao Yao and Fangyue in the vassal courtyard was at best "inappropriate". It was not an affair in the place where spirits were suspended, and it couldn't be said so harshly.
In this way, 90% of Yao Yao and Fangyue's crimes were directly resolved, and the remaining 10% was a moral punishment. The forum punished the two of them with ten years of homelessness and the need to get married as soon as possible.
As soon as this edict came out, there was an uproar in Yujing City again, and the princes and nobles from all over the world also expressed their grievances for the pure and good country.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Yao family wants to protect Yao Yao to the death, especially the wife of the king of Jingshan Tao who testified, she is Yao Yao's aunt.
However, in response to the public outcry in Yujing City, the forum mobilized the military force to deter them, and soon suppressed those voices that were unfavorable to the forum and the Yao family.
But at this time, another thing happened in the Zongfan Courtyard, that is, more than 400 nobles and state officials from the Jingshan Taoist Kingdom knelt on the street outside the Zongfan Courtyard, wailing towards the forum.
At first, the forum thought it was because they were dissatisfied with the forum's handling of Yao Yao's matter, and they were about to mobilize the army to suppress it. However, the forum soon received a "blood letter" from the people of the Jingshan Taoist Kingdom, requesting that they welcome Prince Yunhao's son Zi Gong back to the country. .
When the forum received this petition, Yao Hong, the head of the Yao family, Mrs. Yao Xuan, and everyone in the Yao family immediately stood up to oppose it.
However, the five Taiwanese assistants just looked at them indifferently, and then Taizhen Taoist said: "This is an extremely legitimate request. If you can't even allow this, do you need people from the Yao family to send it?"
Tao Zun Taixiao also spoke: "There are fierce discussions. If the discussion in Yujing City can be suppressed by the army, can it suppress the voices of all the feudal states in the entire Daoting?"
Taoist Taiyin also said: "Taoist Taixiao is right. At this moment, we can no longer do anything that loses our prestige."
At this time Jiang E also stood up and said: "The noble nobleman of Jingshan Taoist Kingdom wants to send his eldest son Zi Gong back to his country. Is this wrong?"
Jiang E, who had heard about Yao Yao's incident as soon as she came back and participated in the secret meetings for the past few days, was very disgusted with the Yao family and spoke for the Jingshan Taoist Kingdom on the spot.
After Jiang E finished speaking, Jiang Tang, the clan leader of the Jiang clan, immediately said: "Xiao'e is right, this request is very reasonable. Five Taifus, we, the Jiang clan, believe that we should agree to the petition of everyone in the Jingshan Tao Kingdom."
After saying that, Jiang Tang gave Jiang E a bright smile, but Jiang E ignored the earnest smile from her aunt Jiang Tang and sat back on her own.
Jiang Tang had a bitter look on his face when he saw this scene. The purple jade pendant was obviously returned by Fang Jian himself, and I didn't take it away on his own initiative. Alas, I'd better explain it to Xiao'e later!
As the Jiang family expressed its stance, all the other families and Taoists present also began to express their stance. Some even said bluntly that to save Yao Yao and Fangyue was to risk the world's disapproval, so don't stop this kind of thing anymore, too much It's wicked.
The last five Tai Fu personally issued an edict, agreeing to the petition of the people of Jingshan Dao Kingdom, and ordered the "Chinese Army", one of the six armies of the King's Division, to send an army of 10,000 to escort the people of Jingshan Dao Kingdom and Prince Yunhao's Zi Palace all the way. The ashes of all the people from Jingshan Dao Kingdom who died in Yujing City and with Crown Prince Yunhao returned to the country.
Two days after the edict was issued, 10,000 Chinese soldiers lined up at Zhuque Gate, and the people of Jingshan Dao Kingdom, all dressed in plain clothes, wearing linen and wearing filial piety, escorted Prince Yunhao's Zi Gong to Zhuque Gate.
All the princes and nobles from various countries in Yujing City came to see him off, and Fang Jian was no exception.
"Are these ten thousand soldiers reliable?" Fang Jian asked Jiang E beside him.
Jiang E said: "Don't worry, the coaches of the Chinese army are all members of my Jiang family. I have already said hello. It will not happen again like Crown Prince Yunhao being intercepted halfway."
Fang Jian nodded, and at this time, the fifteen young ministers of Jingshan Taoist Kingdom were leading more than 400 people to bow and thank those who came to see him off. Finally, they came to Fang Jian and knelt on the ground to face Fang Jian without saying a word. Kowtowed three times.
"Get up quickly." Fang Jian quickly stretched out his hand to support him.
After everyone stood up, the leader, Shaoqing, said to Fang Jian: "Master Fang Jian, you should take care of yourself in Yujing. We will never forget the grace of care and rescue during these days!"
Fang Jian smiled slightly, then raised his hands to everyone in the Jingshan Tao Kingdom and said, "Take care, everyone, and have a safe trip."
After a stick of incense, among the white fairy flower petals falling all over the sky, white flags were escorted by rows of soldiers, and the huge Zi Palace coffin was driven out of the Zhuque Gate.
In this solemn atmosphere, Fang Jian sighed slightly. He knew that the death of Prince Yunhao was not over, but had just begun.
At this time, Fang Jian suddenly asked Jiang E: "Mrs. Yao Yun returned to Yujing, did the third young master Yun Qi come back with her?"
Jiang E was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, Mrs. Yao Yun wants to bring Master Yunqi back, but Taoist Master Taixu doesn't allow it."
Yun Qi is the third son of Jingshan Tao Kingdom and the son of Taixu Daozun, the head of Jingshan Tao Kingdom, and Mrs. Yao Yun.
Yunhao and Yundan, who are already dead, were born to Taoist Taixu and his predecessor, the late Mrs. Jun.
Hearing Jiang E's words, Fang Jian nodded and said, "It's time to use weapons."
Jiang E immediately looked at Fang Jian, her face full of surprise and confusion.
At this moment, the people in front of Zhuque Gate had dispersed. Many ministers came to invite Jiang E to ride with him, but Jiang E coldly refused them all.
Fang Jian looked at the hostile looks from all around and said helplessly: "You rejected them, but you only brought hatred to me."
Jiang E said: "These people are so sentimental."
After saying that, Jiang E turned to the surrounding nobles who were sitting in chariots and carriages and were unwilling to leave. She pointed at Fang Jian and said, "Young Master Fang Jian is my best friend. If any of you do evil to him, don't blame me." polite."
Fang Jian was very helpless when he saw this scene, and quickly said: "It's not that, it's not that, please go slowly and take your leave."
After saying that, Fang Jian turned around and left. Jiang E looked back and saw that Fang Jian had walked out more than ten feet, so she quickly took steps to catch up, "Wait for me, Fang Jian, I will take you to eat wine, sugar and chestnuts." .”
Seeing that Jiang E, with such a noble status, actually chased Fang Jian away on foot with both feet, the nobles behind looked at each other with jealousy:
"Hmph, the toad also wants to eat swan meat!"
