"Remove all fame."
"After Yu Qiu, I asked about it."
Tianjia's verdict was still in his ears, but Xu Mo felt as if he was in a dream.
Everything around him is so unrealistic. Walking people can step on the bubbles and fly up at any time, and soar up and down again.
The most hypocritical one is Fang Yuan. Such a lofty young master fell into the mortal world and could not even save his life.
But it's obvious that he is so unruly and the Fang family is so unattainable.
They once used one finger to make six siblings run away in confusion.
They also downplayed and smoothed out all the flaws in the court.
"Why is it that a family that even gave the Tian Family a three-point reward can behead its legitimate son today?" Xu Mo murmured in disbelief.
After all, he still didn't believe that the brother and sister's efforts could cause harm to the other party's family.
Even if part of Concubine Ju's power was borrowed.
"A person's feet are like a mountain. The lower the place, the more solid it is, and the higher the tip, the more dangerous it is." Fengtian Fu Yin didn't know when he broke away from the team and walked slowly.
He still looks like a kind-hearted old man, with a sparse goatee hanging on his chin and a smile in his eyes.
He seemed to have seen through Xu Mo's use, but he didn't mind it. He was still willing to come over to this outstanding son when he was confused and use a few words to enlighten him.
"Students don't understand." Xu Mo said in confusion, "The Fang family is more important than the Tian family, so they are given three points less. Now it seems that it is not important to cut off the legitimate son's arms. But if it is really not important, why not completely implicated."
Again, cheating in the imperial examination is comparable to treason.
The son Fang Yuan was sentenced to be beheaded, but the father Fang Huairen did not even retain his official position.
Why? Why? What's the reason?
"Given that the Fang family has been in the court for many years and holds dozens of official positions, if the Fang family is to be implicated in beheading all of them, where can the vacant positions be promoted?" Yin of Fengtian Prefecture stroked his beard and said, "Based on General Fang's illustrious military exploits, Fang The blood and lives our families have dedicated to defending our country.”
"Don't say that there is a conflict between the first and second houses. You can't write two square characters in one stroke. What's more, the glory of the Fang family is not only the general of the first house, but also countless generations of ancestors."
Fang Heng's grandfather is also Fang Yuan's grandfather.
All the aristocratic families that have built up their merits have an unimaginably solid foundation. They have a status in the hearts of the people, their businesses are spread throughout Fengjing, and their personnel are deployed throughout the imperial court.
If you cut it down rashly, your success will cause unrest among the people, but your failure will cause the families to be wary.
The world is not black and white. Even the Jiang family, after watching the Fang family collapse, wouldn't they be worried that one day the Jiang family would follow in the footsteps of the Fang family?
"In this way, the aristocratic family will no longer be diligent and will be cautious." Xu Mo was not stupid and quickly cleared the air.
Fengtian Fuyin nodded with satisfaction, "A child can be taught, he can be taught."
While the two were talking, they had already reached the gate of the imperial city.
Hundreds and thousands of students were dispersing in small groups, beaming with joy as if they had won a battle.
His younger siblings stood on tiptoes, their eyes full of worry.
Xu Mo felt warm in his heart and was about to give thanks.
Fengtian Fu Yi had already waved his hand, "But these are not the most important. The legitimate son of the Fang family made a mistake. No matter how soon the head of the Fang family is cut off, he will still be implicated. The Tian family must have their own motives for keeping the Fang family. What do you think? Don’t stand in your own shoes, stand in the shoes of the person who made the decision.”
"Finally." He said meaningfully before turning around, "Don't underestimate Concubine Ju."
Leaving these words behind, Fengtian Mansion's carriage sped away.
Xu Mo stood there, unable to recover for a long time.
"Brother." Jiang Sheng and Zheng Ruqian rushed over, "Brother, what's wrong with you? What's going on?"
"Things went very well, very smoothly." Xu Mo was stunned, "However, only Fang Yuan was punished, and the Fang family was unscathed."
I thought my younger brother and sister would be angry or even curse, but they didn't expect them to let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Fortunately, fortunately." Jiang Sheng slapped his chest, "I heard that the crime of imperial examination fraud was a conspiracy to implicate the nine tribes. I was scared to death at the time. If the nine tribes were implicated, wouldn't the third brother be among them?"
"That's right, we, the third brother, can't reap the benefits, so why should we get involved with them?" Zheng Ruqian was annoyed, "It's best to just kill the son of a second brother and let them fight against us all day long."
Xu Mo laughed, his originally heavy heart relaxed, and his thoughts opened up.
He seemed to know something.
As a victim of imperial examination fraud, even a bystander would like to put the Fang family to death. It would be best if everyone except Fang Heng is destroyed. If not, the official title of the head of the Fang family will be removed.
But is Tianjia willing?
The Jiang family and the Dou family have already begun to join forces, and the Yao family is unswervingly following. The He family and the Sun family remain neutral, leaving only the Fang family and the Zhu family holding up the other half of the sky.
If the Fang family falls, the Zhu family head alone will not be able to withstand the joint efforts of Jiang Dou and the Yao family.
When the time comes, will this court belong to the Zhu family or these three families?
The way to be a king is to balance.
Even if the Tian family doesn't like the Fang family, they must ensure that two voices exist at the same time.
The more the ministers quarreled, the more at ease the emperor felt.
"Maybe this also shows that if you want to defeat the Fang family, you have to support a new Fang family." Xu Mo's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had found a bright road.
Jiang Sheng and Zheng Ruqian looked at each other. They didn't understand politics, but they could clearly see that the eldest brother was shining with golden light at this moment, confident and sure.
"Yes, that must be the case. Only if a new Fang family is cultivated to compete with the Jiang family can the Tian family annihilate the Fang family in one fell swoop." He murmured in a very small voice, "The Jiang family and the Dou family cannot be harmonious, at least in this world. There is no harmony in the eyes of the Heavenly Family."
Fang Yuan's death is the beating of the Tian family, and the Fang family's health is the balance of the court.
Only when new forces emerge and the Fang family makes a huge mistake will they be overthrown.
Maybe there was Concubine Ju's handiwork here, but they really had no way of knowing.
Xu Mo simply took his younger siblings and returned home slowly.
"Brother, will Young Master Fang really die?" Jiang Sheng tugged on his sleeve, still a little unbelievable.
"Of course." Xu Mo laughed, "It's hard to change a golden word. You can't believe what the Tianjia said at the Jinluan store. What else in this world can you believe?"
"But..." Jiang Sheng couldn't explain why.
She just had an inexplicable feeling that such a sinister and gloomy young man would not be easily annihilated.
It has nothing to do with the great power of the Fang family, but rather the fact that this person is so deep that he cannot see the bottom of it.
Just like now, she could feel someone snooping in the dark, but it was difficult to find the direction.
Jiang Sheng let go of Xu Mo's hand and spun around like a small top. Finally, he saw an inconspicuous carriage in the corner. The side curtains of the carriage were lifted, revealing a pair of cold and indifferent eyes.
"Over there," she yelled, pointing.
Xu Mo and Zheng Ruqian looked up at the same time, but they only saw the small curtain fall and the carriage slowly leave.
"What about this and that, did you see the candied haws again?" Zheng Laoer didn't realize the importance and teased with a smile.
Jiang Sheng was so anxious that he stamped his feet, but he didn't know how to express it.
Fortunately, Xu Mo frowned and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, I see a pair of familiar eyes."
Arrogant, indifferent, and scornful.
It's not like a disaster is imminent, but instead it's just sitting on the sidelines.
"Jiang San." He quickly ordered, "Follow that carriage, but don't be noticed."
The third piece of ginger, the most agile one, responded and stood on tiptoes to shuttle.
