(Thanks: moshaocong, 7660876 reward.) Xie: The shepherd's flute, the wolf's smoke, the ticket with three yellow teeth. )

Fang Dunru's face turned pale, he never expected that what he had just said yesterday would be shaken out this morning. He knew what it meant to others, and while he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, it was clearly unacceptable to others. Yan Zhengsu was shocked at first, and then his eyes fell on several officials of the Ordinance Department beside him, and their faces were full of consternation, until they fell on Liu Xiding's face, seeing Liu Xiding's obscene and evasive gaze, Yan Zhengsu understood in his heart. This Liu Xiding, who usually flatters him like a tail wagging dog, he told the truth. Yan Zhengsu felt a sadness in his heart.

"Fang Dunru, the emperor asked you. Did you say that great rebellion? Yang Jun shouted in a deep voice.

He was not allowed to quibble, but he was heard saying this in front of a cadre of the Ordinance Department. Liu Xiding, you came out to play the emperor, did you say this from Fang Dunru? Wu Chunlai screamed.

Liu Xiding's body shook, bowed out of the ranks, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty...... Minister...... Indeed, the minister has heard it with his own ears...... Yesterday...... Lord Fang and Lord Yan...... In front of his ministers and several colleagues...... said these three deficiencies and big rebellion. Although the minister respects the two adults, he ...... Hearing such a rebellious remark, the minister can't ...... Covered. The minister vouched for the head of the item, which ...... Is...... Lord Fang said. ”

As soon as Liu Xiding's words came out, the ministers were even more in an uproar. Before, some people were skeptical, but now they realized that it all seemed to be true. Many people were angry in their hearts, Fang Dunru said such a rebellious thing, he really failed the emperor's grace and the trust of the imperial court. Some people also sighed for Fang Dunru from another angle. Even if you say something too much in private, it can't really be considered a public statement. It's a pity that the most sighing thing about Fang Dunru in this life is that he doesn't know anyone. He took in two disciples in his life, one disciple betrayed him, and the other fought against him and was expelled from the door wall by him. Recently, it is said that he trusts this Liu Xiding very much, but this Liu Xiding turned his head and stabbed him at a critical time. This is also too miserable, they were all betrayed by the people around them, I don't know what Fang Dunru thinks in his heart.

"Liu Xiding, you shameless person, you actually made your private conversation public. You are the most shameless person in the world. Several officials of the Regulation Department scolded Liu Xiding angrily, but Liu Xiding did not say a word, nor did he dare to return to the queue of officials of the Ordinance Department, but lowered his head and got behind Wu Chunlai.

Wu Chunlai shouted in a deep voice: "Those few people are so bold, so arrogant in front of the emperor, do you all know that Fang Dunru said such things?" But you concealed it from the court and did not report it, which shows that you are colluding and forming a party to protect each other, which is the same great rebellion. ”

Several officials suddenly came to their senses, but they also regretted it. When they reprimanded them like this, didn't they confirm that this statement was made by Fang Dunru. And he also exposed the inside story that these people knew, which was really stupid.

Guo Chong's face has changed, and he didn't believe it before, but now, all this seems to be true.

"Fang Dunru, I'm asking you. Did that really come from your mouth? It's better to play it for the truth. ”

Fang Dunru sighed lightly, bowed out of the ranks, and saluted: "Your Majesty, those words ...... It is indeed what the old minister said. Yes, it is the minister who said, 'The changes of the sky are not enough to fear, the words of people are not enough to be compassionate, and the ancestors are not enough to law'. And indeed in the presence of several officials of the Department of Regulations. ”

Everyone made an oh sound, and Fang Dunru really admitted that this was really what he said, which was incredible.

Guo Chong's face was already pale, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Good, good." I never thought that my important minister in the court would be able to say such words, if you didn't admit it yourself, I wouldn't have believed it. Fang Dunru, you are so bold, you dare to say such a rebellious remark, it is really hateful. ”

Yan Zhengsu hurriedly stepped out and said: "The emperor is angry, and the old minister has something to say." Fang Dunru's remark is indeed inappropriate, but what he said is only aimed at changing the law, not other things. Fang Dunru lamented the difficulty of changing the law, and some people far-fetched to attribute a lot of things that happened in my big week to Yu Xinfa's body, which is why he has such angry words. His original intention was to motivate his colleagues in the Ordinance Department to brave difficulties and complete the great cause of law change, but he had no other intentions. ”

"Yan Zhengsu, you can't escape the blame for this matter, but you argue for him? You and Fang Dunru are secretly in camouflage, and everyone in the court knows that the two of you are wearing a pair of pants. Fang Dunru's words are your words, and his thoughts are your thoughts. You didn't even pick it out yourself, and you still came to argue for him? It's a real joke. Yang Jun shouted in a deep voice.

Yan Zhengsu's face sank, and he was about to argue. But he heard Fang Dunru say loudly: "Don't quarrel, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Yan, I said this, Lord Yan doesn't know about it at all." Lord Yan, don't go inside, you don't have to do anything with you, you don't have to. I am not just talking about the new law, as you said, but I think so in my heart. ”

Yan Zhengsu was extremely shocked, didn't Fang Dunru ask for trouble? It should have been properly excused, and if he admitted his mistake again, maybe the matter would not be so serious. But it is not wise for him to make such stubborn words, and to be stubborn at this time.

"Look, look. He himself admitted that he thought so in his heart, and he had long hidden this great rebellion in his heart. Hehe, I didn't expect that Fang Dunru was actually a sanctimonious person. is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and has a belly of male thieves and prostitutes. ”

"Isn't it? It's really heart-wrenching, and I don't know my heart when I know people. ”

“……”

The ministers talked one after another.

The anger in Guo Chong's heart could not be contained, but at the same time, he was heartbroken. Fang Dunru didn't seem to have any remorse at this time, and stubbornly said that he thought so, either he was really stupid, or he was despising himself. Guo Chong suppressed his anger, he still wanted to give Fang Dunru a chance to explain, he didn't want to beat Fang Dunru to death with a stick, although he wanted to do so at the moment.

"Fang Dunru, you have disappointed me too much, you are still talking nonsense at the moment. I have come to ask you, why do you think that the three inadequacies are justified? You tell me, where does reason come from? Guo Chong shouted.

"Your Majesty, what do you do to listen to this kind of person? The emperor, the minister played the impeachment of Fang Dunru for the crime of great rebellion, and asked the emperor to punish him. Wu Chunlai bowed and shouted.

"Yes, this kind of person must be severely punished, the emperor doesn't need to listen to his justification, just take him." Several officials chimed in.

In the midst of a group of chaotic voices, one of them said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, why don't you listen to Lord Fang and explain his reasons." What's the stake with that? When did I not even allow myself to speak in the court of the Great Zhou? The merits always have to be put out in theory, isn't it? ”

It was Lin Jue who spoke, and he was still confused, he still didn't believe that Fang Dunru would say such things in public. But Mr. Fang did admit it, and the officials' performance confirmed his remarks. Lin Jue really had no choice, he could only risk being attacked and come out and say a word, hoping to give Fang Dunru a chance to speak and defend himself. Otherwise, with the current situation, things are going to be bad.

Guo Chong frowned and said in a deep voice: "I also want to understand why you Fang Dunru are still obsessed with it. How dare you say the so-called three deficiencies, and even say that you think so in your heart. I'd love to know what's going on in your mind. Fang Dunru, you say! You have to make it clear. ”

Fang Dunru knelt on the ground and slowly kowtowed to Guo Chong. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and Yaque watched him kowtow silently, and then straightened his waist.

"Your Majesty, the minister has always believed that the operation of heaven and earth has its own laws. The moon is full and the moon is waning, the tide rises and falls, the four seasons are reincarnated, the glory and hair are withered, and birth, old age, sickness and death. This is not its own law, and it cannot be changed by others. As for solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, thunderstorms, earthquakes and tsunamis, landslides, fires, droughts and floods, these are also part of the operation of heaven and earth, and these are all laws of the operation of heaven and earth themselves. It is actually unreasonable to insist on linking these behaviors with the emperor's behavior and the policies of the imperial court. The minister kept hearing all kinds of gossip, a drought and flood somewhere, a landslide somewhere, etc., all of which were attributed to the change of the law, and the minister thought it was far-fetched. This so-called minister's words 'the sky is not enough to fear'. I want to say that the changes in heaven and earth have their own way, and they have nothing to do with our behavior. What I said, I know that the emperor and you may not agree, the way of heaven and earth is unpredictable, so don't talk about it. However, it is not easy to be afraid of popular sayings. Vulgar people do not learn and have no skills, they only start from themselves when they look at problems, and they cannot look at the overall situation and see the long-term, so they will have a variety of views on one thing. Those who do great things, recognize one thing, they must hold their own opinions, and when things are done, success or failure can be revealed. If you listen to everyone's words and waver from side to side, you will never succeed in that day. As for the lack of observance of the laws of the ancestors, it should be so. The former emperor claimed to be a master of success, and he reigned for nearly 40 years, and he also repeatedly revised the law, not to mention a king like Your Majesty who made great achievements? Please also ask the emperor to take a clear look. ”

Fang Dunru's slow voice echoed in the main hall, appearing calm and calm. After listening to his explanation, many people felt that it seemed to make sense.

"Nonsense! What you say is a complete fallacy. Heaven and earth do not speak, how can they warn the world? Heaven and earth do not speak, and tell the world with calamities and strange judgments. If people know from God, the sky will be auspicious, the earth will bear fruit, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the country and the people will be safe. If people go against the way of heaven, they will be punished and warned by floods, beasts, thunder and tsunamis, lunar eclipses and landslides. Therefore, since the time of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, they have saluted the heavens and did not dare to have the slightest blasphemy. There is a cloud in the Book of Poetry, 'Respect the anger of the heavens, and dare not joke.' Respect the sky, no dare to gallop. Haotian said that it was clear, and he was the king. Haotian said, and Eryouyan. ’。 Haotian is above, who dares to say that Haotian is ignorant? The gods are in the sky, and they are all three feet high, who dares to ignore them? The emperor is the son of Haotian, granted by the mandate of heaven, and commands all the people. According to what you say, what is the identity of the emperor? Lu Zhongtian retorted sharply with his gray beard.
