Chapter 124: A Grandmaster Should Act Like a Grandmaster (Two in One)

"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do this!!"

As Emperor Qing's orders were conveyed one by one, there was quite a commotion among the ministers.

Before, they were concerned about the status of the Fan family and the great master Fan Bin. Even though they felt that the reward was inappropriate, even though they felt that the reward from Emperor Qing was too much.

The ministers all endured it with difficulty.

Even those stubborn censors restrained their tempers and chose to remain silent.

But other things would be fine, but Emperor Qing actually wants to grant Danzhou to the Fan family?

The ministers in the court no longer cared about the rules.

An imperial censor with a hot temper interrupted the imperial edict before it was even finished.

Even though Emperor Qing had a good temper, he frowned when he heard such opposition.

"You don't need to say anything more. I have made up my mind."

Emperor Qing immediately spoke up to stop him.

Although his tone was stern, which one of the ministers standing in the court was not more cunning than a monkey if his hair was plucked?
Emperor Qing only spoke out to stop them, but did not have the arrogant censor dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.

To some extent, this fully illustrates Emperor Qing's attitude.

Although Emperor Qing said it nicely, in his heart, he might not be so willing.

Speaking of which, this is not surprising.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the fifth master, Emperor Qing’s attitude must be complicated.

After all, this fifth master, although born in Daqing, is also a close confidant of Emperor Qing.

But even Emperor Qing himself would probably feel very uncomfortable after hearing about what Fan Bin did.

You, the Grand Master of Daqing, are always flirting with the young emperor of Northern Qi and the Queen Mother of Northern Qi.

What do you want to do?
If any other minister showed such an attitude.

Even if Emperor Qing didn't let him take off his official uniform and demoted him to a commoner, he would at least send him aside and never use him again in his life.

But the problem is that Fan Bin is not an ordinary minister.

He is the fifth grandmaster in the world, even without any subordinates or forces, Fan Bin is alone.

He is already the most powerful force in the world. And he is also a force that even Emperor Qing himself has to pay attention to.

Why did Emperor Qing give the Fan family such generous treatment?
They even gave them fiefs, allowing the Fan family to become a country within a country in Daqing.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to win over Fan Bin.

Although Emperor Qing did that.

But this does not mean that their Majesty is really willing to do so?

Especially several important officials such as Prime Minister Lin. They have been with Emperor Qing for more than ten to several decades.

I have a very thorough understanding of the current Majesty's thoughts.

Emperor Qing is a king with great talent and strategy. His dream is to unify the world.

How could such a king sincerely distribute fiefs?
This is just Emperor Qing's second best choice.

After realizing this, other ministers immediately followed suit.

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

"Your Majesty, the disadvantages of enfeoffment are everywhere in history books. Although Your Majesty loves the Duke of Huguo, it should not be like this..."

"You're not loving him, you're simply harming him!!"

The ministers not only spoke from the bottom of their hearts but also clearly and logically.

In their words, if Fan Bin really accepted the reward, it would be a disaster for the future of their Fan family.

An independent small kingdom would be fine if it had a grandmaster to protect it.

What if the grandmaster is gone?
Then this so-called small kingdom is nothing but a joke.

It would be naturally quite comfortable for an independent small kingdom to continue to exist.

But what if one day, this small kingdom no longer exists?

What will be the fate of the master of that small kingdom?
it goes without saying.

Although the ministers were admonishing, they did think about the Fan family. Even the old man of the Fan family, Fan Jian, was persuaded by his colleagues.

If things really developed to that point, it would not be something he wanted to see.

Thinking of this, Fan Jian fell to his knees.

"What my colleagues said makes sense. Your Majesty, please revoke your order!"

It would be fine if it was just other people, but now even the head of the Fan family has said so.

Emperor Qing also turned his attention to Fan Bin.

Maybe he also wanted to see what Fan Bin’s attitude would be?

Did this young man who he watched grow up also change after he was promoted to Grandmaster?

Take Emperor Qing himself for example.

From the moment he was promoted to Grand Master, he became different.

If he wasn't afraid of that peerless divine bow.

Emperor Qing himself doesn’t know what he will do.
Among the grand masters, only Ye Liuyun and Ku He were relatively normal.

Fan Bin, what is your situation?
As Emperor Qing turned his gaze towards Fan Bin, everyone in the court also turned their gazes over.

Then they saw Fan Bin standing there calmly.

It was as if he didn't hear the words around him at all. Or maybe he heard them but he didn't want to pay attention to them at all.

The censor who spoke first gritted his teeth in his heart.

Because Fan Bin didn't speak, the situation remained at a stalemate.

Even if others wanted to say something, they would not dare to risk offending a grand master and speak recklessly.

He just gave it his all!

The worst that could happen is that you'd lose your life.

Why would he care about his life for Daqing?

"Master Fan, please resign on your own initiative..."

Today, Fan Bin has become the Duke of Daqing. When others address him, they have to add the word "gongye".

Hearing the censor's words, everyone gasped.

They obviously didn't expect that there would be such a brave warrior in the Daqing court?

Dare to speak directly and make such a suggestion to Fan Bin?
Although the issue of fiefdom does have consequences.

But that is for the entire Daqing, not for the Fan family.

They all said that after Grandmaster Fan Bin was gone, the Fan family would be in such and such a state...

But don't forget, Fan Bin is still very young.

In addition, as he is a grandmaster, who knows how long he will live?
Even if we take a step back, the great master in the palace and Ye Liuyun are both older than Fan Bin, and not just a little bit older.

If the Fan family had their own territory, they would have a foundation for development.

Perhaps in a few decades, if there is really trouble in Daqing, it will be caused by the Fan family.

Why would anyone refuse such a benefit that comes right to their door?
As soon as the censor opened his mouth, he forced the Fan family and Fan Bin into a corner.

Even if Fan Bin compromises, he will definitely not let this censor go in the future?

Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, Fan Bin, who had remained silent all this time, opened his eyes without any warning.

He glanced.

All the civil and military officials in the court felt the tremendous pressure.

Those who have not learned martial arts are slightly better.

They felt as if there was a tiger or a lion standing in front of them.

When they face ferocious beasts, they have the urge to escape.

For those generals who learn martial arts, their feelings are completely different.

The tremendous pressure impacted their souls.

Led by the ninth-rank Qin Ye, many people took several steps back.

Ye Zhong of the Ye family was even paler.

Just when everyone was about to be unable to bear it anymore, the aura of the grandmaster on Fan Bin's body suddenly retracted.

Then Fan Bin turned his attention to the censor.

"You! You..." The censor's face turned pale and his legs were shaking. It was unclear whether he was frightened or angry.

He pointed at Fan Bin, not knowing what to say.
"What is your name, Mr. Censor?"

Fan Bin's eyes gradually became calm, and there was even a smile on his face.

But no one at the scene dared to look at Fan Bin in the same way as before.

"My surname is Hu!"

Censor Hu replied angrily.

"So it's Lord Hu. Mr. Fan, do you think that our current emperor is a tyrant?"

Everyone who heard this changed their expression.

Are you saying that the current Emperor Qing is a tyrant?

And it happened in front of Emperor Qing.

Even if they had the courage, they would never dare to say such words.

A group of people stared at Fan Bin in confusion.

They couldn't figure out what this new grandmaster wanted to say.
Only Fan Xian, who lagged behind the crowd, stretched out his hand and made the number six.

As expected of him, he is the elder brother, six six six!!!

Obviously, Fan Xian, the little fox, has already figured out what Fan Bin is going to do?
"Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty is wise and brave, a rare wise ruler. How could he be a tyrant?"

Censor Hu hurriedly defended himself.

Fan Bin nodded, seemingly agreeing with what Censor Hu said.

But then he asked again.

"If that's the case, then why do you think His Majesty doesn't think about the issues you're worried about?"

As soon as this rhetorical question came out.

Lin Ruofu's eyes lit up.

He was very surprised to find that his son-in-law, this elder brother, had taken the word shameless to the extreme.

You know, this kind of personality is very suitable for working in official circles.

If you work in official circles for many years, you won’t be able to survive unless you have a shameless spirit.

"You, you are using strong words to make sense!"

Censor Hu held it in for a long time, but this was all he could say.

What else could he say?

He couldn't possibly make Emperor Qing's little thoughts public here, could he?

Everyone understands that the reason why Emperor Qing issued such an edict is simply to win over Fan Bin and the Fan family?

But how can this be said?

Some things in this world are just like that.

Everyone can do it, but they can't say it.

Once those things are said, things become distorted.

"Lord Hu doesn't dare to say it, so I, Fan, will answer it for you. Do you think that His Majesty is trying to win over the Fan family? To win over me, Fan Bin?"

Fan Bin actually said it directly like that.

All the people in the court were dumbfounded.

They thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

What exactly is Grandmaster Fan Bin planning?
Could it be that he really had different thoughts?
Thinking of this, the faces of everyone in the court were all stunned.

They had never thought about this issue before.

But calm down and think carefully.

It is not difficult for them to find that there are actually huge opportunities hidden here.

Although there is still a grand master in Qing Kingdom.

But that grand master was too honest, even though he had been at odds with Emperor Qing for so many years.

But he never really caused any trouble.

Fan Bin is different, he is young and energetic...

If he were to do something, the consequences would be disastrous.

This is true for Emperor Qing and the entire royal family.

Of course, it is a challenge they are unwilling to face.

Otherwise, Emperor Qing would not have spent so much money to win him over.

Directly taking a state as a fiefdom, this is no small favor...

But for the other big guys present, this is not a bad thing from any perspective.

Once Fan Bin succeeds, it will be of great benefit to them.

Just when Lin Xiang and the others were daydreaming, Fan Bin suddenly changed the subject.

He continued to scold Censor Hu.

"Narrow-minded! With your narrow-mindedness, you dare to think that you can measure His Majesty's mind? You are really short-sighted!"

If the imperial censors really want to handle a case, they may not have the ability to do so.

But their ability to scold others is something they are born with and is their signature skill.

Upon hearing what Fan Bin said, Censor Hu immediately resigned.

"What did you say? I am short-sighted, but can't you see the danger? Or is it that your Fan family has always had evil intentions..."

I heard Censor Hu say this.

Everyone subconsciously shrank their necks.

They couldn't help but sincerely admire the courage of Censor Hu.

How courageous!

He actually directly said that the Grand Master was plotting a rebellion?
You know, even Emperor Qing avoided talking about this topic.

Again.

In this world, there are some things that can be done but cannot be said.

Just like the issue that Censor Hu talked about, it is something that absolutely cannot be discussed.

Once it is brought to the surface, there will be no way out for either side.

No matter what they thought before?
This nail will be deeply buried in the hearts of both parties.

"Nonsense! Censor Hu has a murderous mouth. Just by touching your upper lip with your lower lip, you accuse my Fan family of treason? I ask you, do you have any concrete evidence?"

After hearing the evidence, Censor Hu apparently realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Did Emperor Qing deliberately indulge him before and let him test the bottom line of the Fan family here?

But as a chess piece, you must have the awareness of a chess piece.

You can't make decisions for your master.

This is the problem with Censor Hu.

Because of his words, there was no room for maneuver for either side.

"I did not mean that!"

Censor Hu still wanted to argue.

But Fan Bin obviously wouldn't give him a chance.

"Before you start to spit blood at me, Lord Hu, please think carefully about the consequences of your words. It doesn't mean that just because you are the Imperial Censor, you can speak freely in the court. Otherwise, all the efforts of His Majesty will be wasted."

Fan Bin changed the subject back.

"Although I also feel that your majesty's reward is too much, and it makes me feel terrified. But I will not refuse! I will not refuse, not for myself, nor for my Fan family. But to live up to your majesty's painstaking efforts."

"The court had no clear system for its attitude towards grandmasters before. As a result, the grandmaster Ye Liuyun was away from home for many years. There were also rumors of discord between the emperor and his subjects."

"Your Majesty's generous gift now is to give me an explanation for all the future grand masters of Daqing."

"Just now I was just trying out my skills to let everyone experience the terror of the Grandmaster. This way, everyone will understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts."

"Your Majesty, this is a thousand gold to buy horse bones!"

"Your Majesty, this is asking me to make Daqing the Grandmaster, and everyone should practice martial arts and become as powerful as a dragon."
