Poof!
Fan Li finally couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.
With him taking the lead, people in the court kept laughing quietly.
Xiang Chong's face turned green!
Didn't you read the almanac when you went out today?
Why is it that this is the first time I have been in charge of government affairs, and all I have encountered is this kind of nonsense! ?
"Why……"
Eunuch Chen also shook his head.
What is wrong with the new Majesty asking, why bother asking about finance?
No one in the Chu Kingdom knows that Fan's Trading Company owes all the credit for its prosperity.
With the strong coordination ability of Fan's Trading Company, Dachu's private commercial goods flow smoothly, transactions are prosperous, and prices are stable.
Da Chu collected more commercial taxes every year than the Han and Ming Dynasties combined.
Xiang Chong resisted the urge to slap the great Sinong to death and asked: "Where is the former Great Sinong? What did you do before, what achievements did you make, why should you replace the former Great Sinong?"
Sang Yang kowtowed first and then answered.
"Your Majesty, I have never met the former Chief Agriculture Officer. I only heard that he retired and returned home because of his old age."
"As for me, I have never been an official before. I have been studying at home and have no merit to the court. It was not until last month that I was recruited by the Prime Minister and became the chief minister of agriculture."
Xiang Chong sneered after hearing this.
OK!
It turned out to be a related household, and he followed Fan Li's path?
So what if Fan was extremely powerful in the Chu State for a while, but now that he has been caught with evidence of corruption for personal gain, can't he take the opportunity to deal with him?
"Prime Minister, I need a reasonable explanation." Xiang Chong said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fan Li bowed, as if nothing happened.
"Wei Chen is the Prime Minister of Chu and the leader of hundreds of officials. All personnel changes and national policy adjustments in this dynasty are under the charge of Wei Chen."
"The former Chief Secretary Nong was old and begged for his bones and returned to his hometown. After the ministers petitioned the Supreme Emperor for approval, the former Chief Secretary Nong returned to his hometown. The minister then recommended Mr. Sang Yang to take up the post of Chief Secretary Nong, who was also awarded the title in the Supreme Emperor's dynasty. Approved."
"Wait a moment!"
The more Xiang Chong listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
"When you say the Supreme Emperor...do you mean her...???"
Fan Li smiled and said nothing, and Xiang Chong suddenly felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
Xiang Ning actually became his own supreme emperor? !
What kind of awkward relationship is this?
But Xiang Chong took a closer look and found that he had no way to refute.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, he claimed that Xiang Ning had given him the Zen throne.
In other words, if Xiang Chong wants to ensure the legitimacy of his throne, he must recognize Xiang Ning as the Supreme Emperor! ?
"Prime Minister, please don't talk about him."
Xiang Chong waved his hand depressedly and forcibly turned the page.
"You just said, how virtuous and capable is Sangyang? You actually promoted him from a commoner to a high-ranking official in the Nine Palaces? Could it be that you accepted a huge bribe from Sangyang?"
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!" Fan Li showed a rare serious expression.
His reaction was beyond Xiang Chong's expectation, but the latter thought he had hit Fan Li's weakness.
"Oh, am I wrong? The high-ranking officials of Jiuqing actually want to select people from among the people. Is there no talent available in the court? Sangyang? I am so ignorant that I have never known that there is any famous family in our great Chu with the surname Sang!"
In the Jinluan Palace, Xiang Chong's voice was sharp and harsh, echoing repeatedly.
Fan Li's face was extremely gloomy.
But he didn't have a seizure. He just turned around suddenly, bent down and helped Sang Yang, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Mr. Sang... ah no, Mr. Sang, please listen to my explanation..." Fan Li's tone was gentle and calm, with a hint of apology.
Sang Yang shook his head.
He no longer looked at Xiang Chong sitting on the dragon chair, and only smiled bitterly at Fan Li.
"Sang came from a humble background, had little talent and little knowledge, and was already in a difficult position. It has been more than a month since he took office as chief minister, but he has not made any achievements. Today, His Majesty happened to think that Sang was incompetent, so he simply abandoned his post and went home to continue studying behind closed doors. This Jinluan Palace, look at Come on, Sang is not worthy..."
"Mr. Sang, please don't be like this! A gentleman must know that it is not a shame to be born in a humble family, and he must be able to bend and stretch to be his husband!"
Fan Li repeatedly comforted and made solemn promises.
"Sir is my chosen candidate for the position of Chief Secretary of Agriculture. If he refuses to take up the post, I would rather keep this position vacant!"
"snort!"
Xiang Chong looked unhappy after hearing this.
He is the emperor, how dare Fan Li say in front of him that he wants to keep Sangyang?
"Thank you, Prime Minister, but Sang already understands that now is not a good time to become an official. It is better to wait until the time is right in the future, and Sang will come to serve again."
Sang Yang said, bowed deeply to Fan Li, took off his official hat in front of everyone, and walked out of the Golden Palace wearing only white clothes.
"I, Honda Saberang, am not worthy of the Emperor's Hall, hahahahaha!"
Without the restraints of the court uniform, Sang Yang changed his appearance from kowtowing to confess his crime just now, and his whole person gained a free and elegant temperament.
A burst of green aura suddenly burst out from his body, heading straight towards Niu Dou!
Among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, only Xiang Chong was stunned. As for Fan Li and other civil and military officials, they only looked at Sang Yang with regret and reluctance.
Green spiritual energy soared into the sky!
This is a very strong and righteous spirit, which is the symbol of a great master of Confucianism and Taoism!
Sang Yang is a strong Confucian and Taoist who is in the first level of Hedao Realm!
"he……"
Xiang Chong stood up unknowingly and took a few steps forward, as if he wanted to catch up with Sang Yang, who had already flown to the horizon and could not be seen.
Fan Li glanced at Xiang Chong coldly and did not explain anything.
When all the civil and military officials looked at Xiang Chong, their awe for the emperor was gone, leaving only the contempt deep in their hearts!
"What on earth is going on?" Xiang Chong asked with a blushing face.
There is actually a strong man in the Hedao realm among the civil and military officials of this dynasty, and he doesn’t even know about it?
You must know that practitioners in the Hedao realm, especially those who practice Confucianism and Taoism, no matter which country they are in among the Three Kingdoms, are definitely worthy of being welcomed by the emperor with great gifts!
Fan Li said nothing.
All civil and military officials also remained silent.
Finally, Da Honglu, who was also from the Xiang royal family, stood up.
Da Honglu trembled and explained in an almost reproachful tone.
"Your Majesty! Mr. Sang Yang is a genius in Confucianism and Taoism. He came from a poor family, so he had no money to study in Lucheng in his early years."
"But even so, Mr. Sang Yang, with his rare talent in the world and almost self-study, became a great scholar in just fifty years!"
"Mr. Sangyang is currently at the first level of Hedao realm, but even Wenxinhou Lu Chunqiu admits that Sangyang will definitely reach the Mahayana realm within a hundred years old and become one of the strongest people in the world!"
Speaking of this, Da Honglu burst into tears.
Why is it not infuriating that Chu State has lost such a talented person? ?
Xiang Chong opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word for a long time.
I just wanted to cause trouble for Fan Li, so why did I offend a future Mahayana?
He couldn't even understand. Isn't Fan Li a traitor?
If you are a traitor, please do your job well. Recruiting talents is also the job of a traitor?
It’s simply unreasonable! ! !
"Even if Sangyang has a high level of cultivation, he may not be suitable for the position of Da Si Nong, who is in charge of finance..." Xiang Chong braced himself and defended himself.
Da Honglu shook his head after hearing this.
"After Mr. Sangyang became successful in Confucianism and Taoism, he began to write books. His works include "Business Classics", "Finance Theory", "Policies to Enrich the People" and so on!"
“The current Chief Minister of Agriculture in the Han Dynasty and the current Minister of Household Affairs in the Ming Dynasty both consider themselves students of Mr. Sang Yang!”
