Chapter 347: Shocked Fang La

'But come to think of it, I, Zhang Jie, seem to have a lot of fate with the Ming Sect!'

Zhang Jie looked at Fang La's old face, which was over forty years old, and his thoughts drifted.

Now there are five Zhang Jies in the shared space: his Water Margin Zhang Jie, Yitian Zhang Jie, Tianlong Zhang Jie, Consumption Zhang Jie, and Pirate Zhang Jie.

And among them, he and Yitian Zhang Jie both have deep origins with this Ming Sect, which originated from Persia and believes in the Ming Venerable.

He used force to suppress people here, making the eighth leader of the Ming Sect, Fang La, who should have developed the Central Plains Ming Sect to unprecedented strength,

but was wiped out because of rebellion by the Great Song Imperial Army and a certain Song Heizi who wanted to be an official

and kill and set fire to be recruited, have to surrender, and even offered his beloved daughter washed and fragrant with both hands.

Yitian Zhang Jie is even more extreme; he directly took advantage of the situation… well, he was sincerely invited by the Ming Sect's Bright Left Envoy Yang Xiao,

the Five Wanderers' Cloth Bag Monk Shuobude, Zhou Dian, Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao,

White-Browed Eagle Wang Yin Tianzheng, and other high-ranking officials to ascend to the throne of the 34th leader of the Ming Sect.

Yitian Zhang Jie angrily scolded Yang Xiao and others: What are you doing?

Sigh, you really harmed this leader! Haha(((o(*? ▽? *)o)))~

The reason he spared Fang La was not without this reason,

after all, who doesn't give a thumbs up to his quality of respecting teachers and the Dao, as long as they have seen them

or heard their names?

Although Fang La is actually a stranger to their Zhang Jie in terms of identity,

with the understanding of the Ming Sect in the Yitian world, he had a bit of favor for this former leader,

and after being willing to understand deeply, he found that this Fang La was indeed to his taste, which led to the surrender matter.

Otherwise, a mere small rebel king who didn't even occupy a province,

and couldn't even handle the Great Song Imperial Army and Song Heizi in the original timeline,

but was instead handled, where was he worth him spending so much thought?

Even to gain their trust, he was willing to take out treasures like the Heirloom Seal of the Realm for display.

It must be known that after the inheritance of the Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang dynasties, the "Heirloom" name of the Heirloom Seal of the Realm had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people,

and holding it could at least increase and extend a dynasty's national fortune by three points!

Such a treasure, which emperor didn't hide it deep in the palace? If it wasn't their absolute confidant,

for others to take an extra look was the greatest usurpation, a crime punishable by death?

Even if the Heavenly Emperor stepped on Ying Zhao, the successor of the fire, and swept away all ghosts and monsters with a red flag,

there were still many people who valued the Heirloom Seal of the Realm extremely highly.

There is a famous joke circulating on the internet:

Question: If you found the Heirloom Seal of the Realm, what would you do?

Answer: Of course, hand it over to the country, but I hope the country can give me the treatment a fallen monarch should have.

What? You say I am not an emperor?

I have the Heirloom Seal of the Realm, so I am the orthodoxy on this land!

Let his wife persuade him.

His wife: Although this concubine hasn't read many books, I also know that the harem must not interfere in politics…

Zhang Jie's power returns to himself, even if the whole world rebels, he can flatten the world with his own strength,

so he didn't care much about the Heirloom Seal of the Realm, and made a unilateral decision against the almost unanimous opposition of the civil and military officials in the court,

letting Qin Gui, as an envoy, take the Heirloom Seal of the Realm to go and recruit Fang La's Holy Duke State.

"Brother Fang, I have prepared a light banquet for you to wash away the dust, I hope you will honor me."

Zhang Jie's thoughts turned a thousand times, but on the surface, he was calm, without revealing half a flaw, and invited him enthusiastically.

With his martial arts realm, let alone using two things at once, even three or four is easy.

"I am willing, I dare not ask."

Fang La, who came to surrender, naturally wouldn't refuse Zhang Jie's kindness and agreed immediately.

"Brother Fang, please."

Seeing Fang La so sensible, Zhang Jie was also very satisfied.

"Your Majesty is the monarch, this humble subject is the subject, Your Majesty should go first."

Fang La placed his position very correctly, so naturally, he couldn't walk in front of Zhang Jie.

"Sigh, today you and I are brothers, not monarch and subject, Brother Fang, please go first."

Zhang Jie indicated that although he brought many Great Gan civil and military officials today,

it was a private meeting, so there was no need to worry too much about the way of monarch and subject.

"The monarch is the monarch at any time, and the subject is the subject at any time, absolutely cannot usurp. Your Majesty, please go first."

Fang La performed caution to the extreme, not leaving any handle for the political enemies that would inevitably appear later.

Even if His Majesty was magnanimous and didn't care about this,

there were plenty of officials in the Great Gan court who valued these etiquette and hierarchy more than their own eyeballs.

"Fine, fine, fine, then I will walk at the very front to open the way for Brother Fang."

Seeing Fang La insist on this, Zhang Jie didn't force it, joked, and walked at the very front.

"Your Majesty is making this humble subject feel unworthy."

Fang La followed Zhang Jie step by step.

"Brother Fang, today you and I are brothers who met as if we were old friends, we should drink until we are drunk!"

Arriving at the banquet hall, Zhang Jie, sitting high in the main seat, enthusiastically urged Fang La to drink.

"Your Majesty, drink well!"

Fang La, who found that their situation was better than the best he had imagined, replied with a smiling face.

After a round of toasting, the atmosphere at the scene became even more harmonious.

"Snort, snort."

Suddenly, a sound of wolfing down food disturbed this peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

'Who is so bold, daring to lose decorum in front of the Emperor? Could his head be a renewable resource?'

Fang La was very surprised in his heart.

Although he hadn't been in the Great Gan for long, to be precise, he had only stepped into the capital today, he also knew that the Great Gan's rules were strict.

Even if it was the Emperor's beloved general, General Song Wan, who lost decorum in front of the Emperor,

it was only after the unanimous pleading of the hundred officials that he was spared the punishment of being beheaded.

Who is this person? Could he think he is the second General Song Wan?

Who else could have the great face of the whole court pleading together?

Did he think he was the Left and Right Prime Ministers of the Secretariat, or the four Grand Commanders of the Five Armies Governor's Office?

As for why it was the Five Armies Governor's Office, but there were only four Grand Commanders?

Well, although the Great Gan was not entirely founded on martial arts, but chose to combine civil and martial arts,

not favoring one over the other, and walking on two legs, but now that the world was not completely settled,

military power was undoubtedly the most important power.

Such important power undoubtedly could only be held in the hands of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, the Grand Commander of the Central Army, who had the greatest power in the Five Armies Governor's Office and had the power to command the other four army commanders, was concurrently held by the Son of Heaven Zhang Jie.

Unlike the affairs of the Secretariat, which were mostly discussed by the left and right prime ministers and then submitted to the palace for approval,

military affairs, regardless of size, were decided by the Son of Heaven alone, and others were not allowed to interfere.

Fang La couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction the sound came from, and then a thin figure,

who was holding a large elbow and gnawing until his mouth was full of oil, came into his view.

"This, isn't this the former Song Emperor? How could he be so down-and-out?"

Fang La recognized this figure, and his shocked face became a bit distorted.

Who else could this person be, holding a large elbow and gnawing wildly, not caring about personal image at all, but the former Song Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji?

"Could the Great Gan be so poor that it can't even supply the food for a fallen emperor?"

Fang La felt a series of questions rushing into his heart.

Zhao Ji's appearance didn't look like an emperor at all,

even an emperor who had fallen, whose country was broken and family destroyed, and who had become a prisoner. ===== CHAPTER 348 =====

Even if he is an emperor who has already fallen into ruin, his country destroyed and his family lost, reduced to a prisoner.
