Imperial Censor Fang La led a group of capital officials and left proudly!
In the room, only Commander Wu, whose face was changing like cloudy weather, and Mr. Lei behind the desk with a thunderous aura, were left.
Thunder Mountain looked at the Heavenly Army Commander standing sideways in front of him, his voice carrying suppressed anger,
"Commander Wu, don’t listen to Fang Zhongcheng."
"Why does he ntion Ninth Mountain? Just seized power and wants to create chaos, isn’t the current ss enough? Mr. Lei will imdiately send a ssage to the State Preceptor, to stall him for !"
However, Commander Wu standing below turned slightly, expressionless, his tone sowhat gloomy,
"Mr. Lei has concealed it from too bitterly, I just stumbled in front of this Fang for the State Preceptor, already resented by people."
"Right now, Mr. Wu can only listen to Your Majesty’s decree, so forgive for not accompanying you!"
At this mont, the Heavenly Army Commander’s tone evidently carried a trace of resentnt and alienation.
Think from his position, he strictly adhered to the State Preceptor’s orders, only to be t with humiliation and deception. The State Preceptor was no longer on Yunding Mountain, yet he didn’t know, insisting repeatedly, resulting in being humiliated by that Fang La. Who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable in such a situation?
Since the State Preceptor and Thunder Mountain were treating him like a tool, he had no reason to continue opposing Fang La, who carried Your Majesty’s verbal edict.
Feeling stifled, he finished speaking, bowed to Thunder Mountain, and turned to leave.
Thunder Mountain heard the grievance in the Commander’s heart, but like what Lord Helian plotted, who knows who would be unlucky, being dragged into it, even after difficult decisions, knowing nothing is the best.
He could only sigh deeply, having no intention to persuade, and solemnly spoke to his departing back:
"Mr. Lei knows Commander Wu harbors grievances, but this matter is of great importance."
"Rember, the Ninth Mountain cannot be moved, tell Fang La not to act foolishly!"
"He’s so eager to discuss affairs, I’m afraid he’ll ruin things, causing a scene known to everyone."
"If he really acts foolishly, Commander Wu must stop him, otherwise the consequences will be hard to predict!"
As these words fell, Commander Wu walking towards the door paused his clanging armored footsteps, but eventually continued out the door.
Then, outside the door, the sound of clashing armor and a large number of footsteps accompanied by clanging noises were heard leaving.
"Bang"
Inside the room, Thunder Mountain slamd the table fiercely.
No, he must quickly send a ssage to Helian National Master!
........
Shortly after, in the Heavenly Patrol Hall.
After Fang La and others ca out from the back courtyard, they headed straight to the main hall, rushing with a gust of wind, moving with the Four-direction Step as if walking with the wind.
A group of people entered the main hall, and the attending official guarding the hall was scolded away.
Fang La led a group of capital officials, standing below the main seat, his eyes shining, staring at that position with an inexplicable surge in his heart.
This position can decide the life and death of millions, representing power.
Behind him, so capital officials looked lively, and imdiately laughed while holding their hands,
"Lord Fang really was imposing just now, fearless in the face of power. Thunder Mountain, as Your Majesty’s Patrol Officer, dared to hide and not report, almost delaying major affairs. If sothing happened on Jiannan Road at this ti, he would be a sinner for the ages. I see this person clearly has selfish intentions, fortunately, Lord Fang decisively saw through it, preventing a great mistake."
Another person chid in, raising his hand, full of admiration: "Exactly, Lord Fang is favored by the saint, proving Your Majesty’s trust and reliance on him. Currently, the military and civilian hearts in Shu are unstable, and disorder is rampant; it’s high ti to rectify."
"What a heartfelt sentint you gentlen convey. Now leaderless, Jiannan Road is like a sieve wind passing through. We watch in agony as the Rebel King causes havoc inside the border. Though we have a patriotic spirit, we lack a leader. Now, with Your Majesty’s verbal decree, it’s like clearing away the clouds to see the blue sky. We’re willing to follow orders, risking our lives without hesitation!" One person first appeared saddened, then spoke passionately and righteously.
"Indeed, indeed!" Imdiately, a chorus of agreent followed.
These capital officials ca from the Three Platforms and Six Ministries, each with their camps and interests at court, but right now, everyone blended into the dust. Even if there were past frictions, now in a foreign place, it didn’t matter.
Before them lies a chance to progress, should they not harmonize and keep pace with the dust?
Hearing the "praises" of the gentlen, Fang La turned around, attempting a serious façade, though the crow’s feet at his eyes revealed uncontrollable exuberance.
He clasped his hands behind him, looking at the gentleman colleagues, "I accept your undue praise with gratitude. Entrusted by Your Majesty, I dare not neglect the slightest. Even if it offends the State Preceptor, I shall not hesitate."
"Right now, amidst chaos, the burden is not small. My abilities are humble and I’m deeply ashad, I implore you to help share the burden, swiftly pacifying the turmoil in Shu to ease the Emperor’s mind."
Saying this, he adjusted his posture, a face full of righteousness.
"You are noble, Lord Fang, I am duty-bound!"
A group of people agreed in unison, raising their hands in salute, conversing with smiles.
One subordinate imdiately seized the mont and spoke:
"Lord Fang, the eting is about to begin, please take your seat."
The place suggested was, of course, the main seat at the top.
Fang La appeared troubled, declining, "This is the State Preceptor’s seat, since he’s not here, I am rely temporarily exercising power, it is inappropriate!"
As he said this, his eyes circled, observing the reactions of the gathered.
A Chief Historian of the Pri Minister’s Mansion responded earnestly: "Fang Zhongcheng’s words are mistaken. Since you have Yong’s Majesty’s verbal decree, you represent the Emperor, this seat cannot be unseated."
"Please, Lord Fang, assu the seat to uphold the Emperor’s prestige!"
With these words, another round of consensus followed.
The distress on Fang La’s face dissipated, he nodded, "If that’s the case, favored by your high regard, I shall humbly comply."
