Such a character is Gao Juelong, extremely powerful, and his status is still above Taifu. Because the imperial court was controlled by the three dukes, Taifu was only one of the three dukes. However, Wu Mu was the only direct controller of the Great Zhou army. The Great Zhou Dynasty's combat strategy against the Five Wildernesses was formulated by all Wu Mu.

Don't look at how arrogant the people in the Pingding Marquis Mansion and the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion are, but as long as Wu Mu says a word, he will immediately demote the two nobles to commoners. Moreover, the two Great Zhou Marquis had to be honestly afraid, and they did not dare to have resentment.

The Sifang Hou Mansion is just a new family of military generals, if Wu Mu is compared to Mount Tai, the Sifang Hou Mansion is an egg. Wu Mu's invitation gave people the feeling that it was as shocking as Mount Tai's crushing eggs.

"It turned out to be General Li, and the wife was polite. General inside please!"

It was Mrs. Huayang who reacted first, and welcomed Li Ji, the general of Zhengbei, and Zhang Rang, a scholar of Hanlin, into the mansion together.

The group entered the main hall of the Sifang Hou Mansion, and after a while, they were divided into guests. Zhang Rang and Li Ji looked at each other, each thinking in their hearts. The atmosphere was a little strange for a while.

In the end, it was Zhang Rang who spoke first, arched his hand, and Zhang Rang took out a thin red book from his sleeve and handed it over:

"Mrs. Huayang, this is Lord Taifu's courtesy. Ling Gongzi was young and smart, and the Lantern Festival literary test overwhelmed the crowd, and won the first place in the literary test. Master Taifu admires it very much, and hopes to order the little marquis to be a registered disciple. I wonder what Madame thinks?"

"First in the literary exam?"

Mrs. Huayang had been mentally prepared, but when she heard this, she was still stunned, and she almost couldn't believe her ears. Subconsciously, Mrs. Huayang looked at Fang Yun and cast an inquiring look.

"Mother, yesterday you came home in the early hours of the morning, and the child wanted to tell you about it. However, seeing that his mother was tired and sleepy, he did not dare to disturb. So I forgot to tell my mother about it for a while. ”

Fang Yun stood up and saluted his mother, Mrs. Huayang, and said respectfully.

Hearing this, Mrs. Huayang finally understood why so many people came to the door to give gifts early in the morning. The god glanced at Fang Yun in a complicated manner, and Mrs. Huayang suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart.

Among the two children, the one she was most worried about was Fang Yun. In the past few months, Fang Yun has been practicing hard every day, and she has seen all of this. But Mrs. Huayang never thought that Fang Yun would actually be able to pick the top spot in the Lantern Festival literary test the day before yesterday and be appreciated by Master Taifu! You know, in the past few months, he has been concentrating on martial arts, and he hasn't even touched his book much!

"Mrs. Huayang, I don't know what you think?"

Zhang Rang asked, and several Hanlin attendants behind him also showed a listening look.

"Lord Zhang, this is a big matter. Can you let the wife think about it first?"

Mrs. Huayang took a deep breath and did not immediately agree. She had just heard it clearly, in addition to Taifu, there was also Wu Mu! Mrs. Huayang had presided over the Sifang Marquis Mansion for decades, and she was meticulous in her thoughts, and she was by no means the kind of person who was reckless.

"Master Li, you said just now. Lord Wu Mu also has a courtesy?"

Mrs. Huayang turned her head to look at Li Ji and asked. As soon as these words came out, Zhang Rang and the others also looked at Li Ji, and they were slightly nervous.

Li Ji was afraid that Mrs. Huayang would agree to Zhang Rang, so she would breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing that Mrs. Huayang did not immediately agree, she was relieved.

"Yes, ma'am. The little marquis is both civil and military, not only the first in the literary test, but also the first in the martial arts. Lord Wu Mu cherishes his talent the most, and this time he specially asked the official to visit his wife, just hoping that his wife and the little marquis can join the army, after all, the Quartet Marquis is also a member of the army!"

Li Ji said and handed over the gift post. On the red sè post, there are a few big gold sè characters, which are shocking. ――Da Zhou Wumu has never given a gift sticker to anyone, this is the first time!

Li Ji recalled what happened a few days ago.

That day, after the Lantern Festival martial arts competition, he wrote a letter to his immediate boss, preparing to recommend Fang Yun to him. But somehow, this incident actually alarmed Lord Wu Mu. This Da Zhou is equivalent to a god-like existence, and sent someone to send a gift post, saying that he asked him to visit the Sifang Marquis' Mansion.

"The Sifang Marquis Mansion is really a great fortune, Wu Mu has never given a gift to anyone for decades. This time, it will be an exception because of an ordinary Lantern Festival martial arts test!"

Li Ji glanced at the gift stickers he had given, and he was also envious in his heart. With Wu Mu's words, the second son of this Fang family will join the army in the future, and his future is immeasurable!

"Master Li, thank you. This matter is too sudden, can you let the wife think about it carefully?"

Mrs. Huayang took the Wu Muli sticker with both hands, with a solemn face, and did not immediately agree.

Li Ji nodded, indicating that he could understand. Although he is a martial artist, he is not stupid. When he saw Zhang Rang, a scholar from Hanlin, he knew that there was a figure of Taifu behind this matter, and he knew that this matter was not so pure and simple.

After thinking about it, Li Ji still added: "Madam, whether you agree with this matter or not, Master Wu Mu hopes that you can give a message." ”

"Madam, that's what Master Taifu meant. Zhang Rang arched his hand and said.

A salute is a formal visit. According to the rules, before Zhang Rang and Li Ji left the Sifang Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Huayang had to give an official answer.

As soon as the two sentences came out, the atmosphere in the main hall of the Sifang Hou Mansion suddenly became a little solemn.

One is the Taifu of the Dynasty, and the other is the military god of the Great Zhou. According to the practice of the Great Zhou, the civil and military were divided. Military attachés are not allowed to hold civilian posts, and civilian officials are not allowed to hold military posts. Fang Yun can only take one of the two!

Mrs. Huayang held two posts in her hands, and her heart was heavy.

These two big red gift posts, appearing in any family in any Great Zhou, are enough to make this family go crazy with excitement, bathing and changing clothes one by one, burning incense and worshipping ancestors. And the Quartet Marquis Mansion ushered in two at the same time!

Mrs. Huayang glanced sideways at Fang Yun, with mixed emotions in her heart. Fang Yunwen won the first place in the martial arts competition, which is a great thing. Mrs. Huayang, a mother, is happy and proud. But with this great news, the Quartet Marquis Mansion also fell into a dilemma!

Two posts, which one to choose!

At this time, Fang Yun also tasted a little different:

"This visit, whether it is Wu Mu or Taifu, did not appear, but a poor subordinate. At the same time, neither Wu Mu nor Taifu gave tangible benefits. Taifu just said that he wanted to accept a registered disciple. Although the registered disciples are disciples, they are supernumerary. As for Wu Mu, he was more simply, just expressing his desire for me to join the army. ”

Fang Yun lowered his head in contemplation, and a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind. In the blink of an eye, he grasped the core of the problem: "This is a dispute between soldiers and Confucians! I am afraid that after the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will fall into an eventful autumn." ”

Fang Yun's heart was clear, and after a little thought, he knew. I'm afraid it was the Lantern Festival essay test the day before yesterday, and the test questions of the last level flowed out. The choice between the military family and Confucianism continued again in himself.

However, Fang Yun also understood. Although Taifu and Wu Mu were only a temptation, they did not give a tangible promise. But that's not to say that the two are just empty words. A registered disciple can be turned into a formal disciple, or even the next generation of Great Zhou Taifu. As for Wu Mu, with a courtesy letter from Wu Mu, once he joins the army, even if he is a hostile Marquis of Pingding and Marquis of Zhenguo, he will not dare to do anything to himself. With Wu Mu's words today, it will be no problem to be crowned Marquis in the future.

Fang Yun is thinking, and Mrs. Huayang is also thinking!

This lady of the dynasty supported the Fang family in the capital of Shangjing. In the decades that she has been in the capital, this lady has basically struggled through the intrigues and intrigues of the ladies and wives of the Great Zhou. What kind of tricks, what kind of tricks, she has seen.

From these two letters, Mrs. Huayang also smelled the friction between the military family and Confucianism.

Promise Wu Mu, or promise Taifu?

Cold sweat oozed from Mrs. Huayang's hands, and for the first time, she felt that this family was in danger of life and death. The danger is not visible, but it is real.

"Mother," seeing his mother's worried face, Fang Yun finally spoke.

"Mother, can I make my own decisions about this matter?"

Mrs. Huayang hesitated for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Fang Yun, only to see that he was down-and-out, confident and generous, and seemed to have an opinion.

"Well, there's no good idea for a while. You might as well listen to Yun'er's words. Yun'er is still young, even if she says something wrong, she can be regarded as a child's words, and she will not anger Wu Mu and Taifu. - Big deal, let the husband resign from the throne and the family return to the countryside. ”

Thinking like this, Mrs. Huayang breathed a sigh of relief, but she cast an inquiring look at Zhang Rang and Li Ji.

"Madam, in this matter, Ling Gongzi is the party. Let's listen to what Xiao Xianggong has to say," Zhang Rang nodded.

"Well, that's what I mean. If the little marquis decides to join the army, it will be even better. Li Ji also agreed.

Mrs. Huayang nodded: "Yun'er, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
