The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1054 The Palace Examination is Over

In late October, the first snow is coming.

The Literary Newspaper of October 20th reported two events in great detail, one was the course of the Sangu Lianzhan, and the other was the Changxi Village incident.

The already heated debate was ignited again.

At first, everyone in the world was discussing whether Fang Yun was right or wrong, but later, they all began to discuss the severity of Fang Yun's actions.

Every day, a large number of scholars petitioned for the villagers of Changxi at the foot of Daofeng Mountain, asking the Criminal Court to thoroughly investigate the Changxi Village case and to interrupt Fang Yun's palace examination.

The Holy Court has not accepted petitions.

The two sides have been in a stalemate.

And those who are truly ambitious, even if they oppose Fang Yun, no longer argue, but set their sights on the north of the human race.

In the north of Ning'an City, ten new fortresses were built by the Gongdian, forming an arc on the map of Jingguo to protect the land of the human race.

One million new troops have been trained, and the second batch of one million new troops has begun training. Reinforcements from various countries have also arrived and are ready for battle.

One million new troops and 600,000 veterans are organized into 16 armies, each with 100,000 combat soldiers.

Among them, every 500,000 combat soldiers are combined into a guard army. Currently, three guard armies have been formed, led by three university scholars.

The left prime minister's right-hand man, Grand Secretary Lan Xun Gulan, was originally stationed at Yuyang Pass and was bound to take over a guard army. However, because he did not send troops to rescue when the million water tribe monsters stepped on the raging waves to attack Ning'an, he was severely investigated by the Criminal Hall and committed suicide out of fear of crime.

Since then, the person with the highest status in the left prime minister's army is the newly appointed general of the Yingyang Army, the old Hanlin Tong Luan.

Tong Luan has not become a university scholar and cannot serve as the general of the guard army. The power of the left prime minister and the queen mother has increased and decreased, which has weakened the power of the left prime minister in the army to the extreme.

Although the assistant minister Si Yueqing is a university scholar, he has no military experience and is not good at military strategy, so he cannot serve as the general of the guard.

When Jingguo thought that the left prime minister had completely lost his power, Hanlin Tong Luan unexpectedly broke through and was promoted to a university scholar, obtained the position of the general of the rear guard, and restored the power of the left prime minister and his party in the army.

As the northernmost city of Jingguo, Ning'an City has become the center of the minds of many scholars in the world.

Since this year, more than 15,000 scholars from all over the country have given up their studies, official positions, or families, and arrived in Ning'an City to choose to fight against the monsters.

These 15,000 scholars alone are worth a million soldiers!

Among the scholars in Ning'an City, there are more than 50 old Jinshi and 17 old Hanlin. I don't know why, not long after the arrival of Wenquxing, 21 of the old Jinshi were promoted to Hanlin, and 7 old Hanlin were promoted to university scholars.

After the arrival of Wenquxing this time, only one out of ten old Jinshi was promoted to Hanlin, which is far less than the proportion of Ning'an City.

After the news came out, some old Jinshi or old Hanlin were ready to come to Ning'an City, and even several old university scholars had already set off.

The famous university scholar Hua Jun also arrived in Ning'an City with several wives and concubines.

The arrival of Wenquxing raised the defense power of Ning'an City to another level!

After Geng Ge, the chief of the Transportation Department of Ning'an City, was killed by the armless Hanlin Peng Zouzhao, the left prime minister's party wrote to the Holy Court for a ruling, but the Holy Court dragged it out and did not handle it. Now Peng Zouzhao was killed, Geng Ge died in vain.

The Transportation Department quietly replaced the new chief, who neither embarrassed Fang Yun nor contacted Fang Yun after taking office, but just quietly took charge of the Transportation Department. Many people in Ning'an City did not even know that there was such a Hanlin official.

During the days when Fang Yun wrote the 15th Plan, the Minister of Personnel finally couldn't withstand the criticism from both inside and outside the court, resigned from his official position, and asked to go to Zhenyuhai to guard, so that his family was saved.

As the monsters were about to go south, Ning'an City became a huge war machine, especially workshops involving military equipment, which were built one after another. Not only did the textile workshop use Fang Yun's new technology, but all workshops such as weapons and armor were also improved, and the processing cost was reduced to one-fifth of the original, and the quality of weapons and armor was at least 20% stronger.

This is still because the workers have not fully understood the new things thrown by Fang Yun.

In the previous Tianyan war poem, the power of "Sword Chant" was injected into all the weapons of the human race, so that within ten years, all the weapons of the human race became powerful monster-killing weapons.

The main fighting class among the barbarians is the barbarian soldiers and barbarian generals. Before the Tianyan war poem "Sword Chant", ordinary soldiers of the human race, even with the power of the war poem, had some difficulty against ordinary barbarian soldiers. They basically had no way to deal with barbarian generals. At least a hundred people could compete with barbarian generals.

Now with the monster-killing weapons, ordinary soldiers of the human race will be on par with ordinary barbarian soldiers. Now when encountering ordinary barbarian generals, only a dozen people are needed to seriously injure or even kill them.

After Fang Yun sent the 15th plan to the Holy Academy, the Holy Academy never replied.

On October 30, the East Holy Pavilion published a piece of news from the Holy Academy on the discussion list, shocking the entire human race.

There were ten subjects in the palace examination, including education, people's livelihood, official administration, farming, criminal justice, history, military affairs, fortification, literature, and medicine, and Fang Yun got all A grades!

Before the human race could react to this news, the Holy Academy announced that this year's palace examination was over and the results would be announced tomorrow.

First announcing Fang Yun's A grade and then announcing the end, this means that Fang Yun not only got A grades in all ten subjects, but also got A grades in all ten subjects before the saint!

When this news was announced, the scholars who opposed Fang Yun at the foot of Daofeng Mountain were stunned at first, and then many people burst into tears.

"Ten A grades? That means that the three semi-saint examiners not only did not punish Fang Yun's crime, but even thought he had no merits? How could such an executioner get all A grades before the saint!"

"Why did you get all A grades before the saint! The students are not convinced!"

"The students are also not convinced!"

"The rites and laws are broken, and the building will fall! The human race is in danger! The human race is in danger!"

"The rites and laws that the human race has established for thousands of years have been destroyed by Fang Yun! Destroyed by the semi-saint!"

"This is forcing us to be rebellious..."

"Pa!" As soon as the Lei family scholar finished saying the word "rebellious", a scholar who was watching the excitement rushed over and slapped him.

"If you say another word, I will cut you with my tongue sword!" The burly scholar roared.

"Dare to hit our Lei family?"

"I'm hitting your Lei family!" Another young scholar stepped forward and glared at the Lei family scholar, and dozens of scholars surrounded him.

"You...are insulting!" The Lei family scholar shouted.

Everyone laughed, looked at the Lei family with disdain, and turned away.

In less than an hour, an article appeared on the discussion board, titled "The Death of Rites and Laws", which was extremely scary.

Everyone took a closer look and found that it was based on the Changxi case to criticize Fang Yun, and finally concluded that the etiquette of the human race collapsed because of Fang Yun.

Except for a few people who waved the flag and shouted, most people were too lazy to reply, but after reading some people's replies, they found that it was actually written by Ji Zhibai.

So many scholars used their venomous tongues and began to laugh at Ji Zhibai.

"How many Ji Zhibais are there between etiquette and law?"

"It is known that Ji Zhibai is a pig-like teammate. Let me ask, if Ji Zhibai rebels and joins the demon barbarians, how many years can the human race conquer the demon world?"

"Ji Zhibai, I heard that you found a job as a gatekeeper? How much do you earn a month?"

"I heard that Brother Ji was promoted from a pig-like teammate to a pig-like county magistrate?"

"Fang Yun, you and I are irreconcilable! Ah..."

"Okay, don't do this, don't make Ji Zhibai cry, he is the top scholar!"

"Tsk tsk, in Ning'an City, the current county magistrate is trying the former county magistrate. When Fang Xusheng returns to the capital, I'm afraid this year's top scholar will meet last year's top scholar!"

Those who attacked Fang Yun soon discovered that since the Holy Academy announced the end of the palace examination, the situation of the discussion list was very delicate. Many people who were originally neutral also began to refute them, and many of their words were very harsh. They didn't want to fight back, but seemed to vent their anger.

Soon, everyone realized a big problem.

Fang Yun got all ten A's, so all the Jinshi candidates in the palace examination this year cannot get A's! The highest they can get is only B+.

Except for Jingguo, all the Jinshi candidates in other countries of the human race were completely wiped out in the A's class!

Except for a few Jinshi candidates who couldn't help cursing, most of them just smiled bitterly, because they had this bad premonition before the Holy Academy announced the end.

"No A's champion" is a rather unpleasant title, and the Jinshi candidates in the palace examination who are about to become champions in other countries are crying without tears.

Qingguo.

Yan Yukong sighed to the sky.

"It's bad luck to take the exam in the same year as Fang Yun! When you enter the sea of ​​learning, I must avenge one arrow! No, plus the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival last year, I will avenge two arrows!"

Fang Yun was reading in the study. After receiving the news from the Holy Academy, he smiled slightly and continued to read with his head down, ignoring the official seal that kept emitting silent fluctuations.

After reading a whole chapter, Fang Yun looked at the letter in the official seal.

"The knife is ready. I will come to ask for advice with the dead rabbit in the future!" Li Fanming's resentment was clearly written on the paper.

"Fang Xusheng, when you leave the sea of ​​learning and go to the Holy Academy, don't forget our bet in the Holy Ruins! We won!"

Fang Yun really forgot about this. After thinking carefully, he remembered that when he was in the Holy Ruins, everyone made a bet on whether Fang Yun could be in the top 20 of the Great Confucian Hunting List within three years.

But now, Fang Yun is not only the first on the Great Confucian Hunting List, but also has been given a holy title. Those who bet on Fang Yun's ability win, and those who bet on Fang Yun's ability will have to pool money to treat him to a dragon banquet.

The most ordinary dragon banquet is also based on 100,000 taels of silver, and the best is not capped.

Fang Yun immediately sent a letter to the group of people who made the bet that day, saying that all the people in the Holy Ruins should gather in Kongcheng, and when they leave the sea of ​​learning and go to the Holy Academy to compete for the head of the country, the losers will treat them to a dragon banquet.

The friends of the Holy Ruins were juren last year, and most of them participated in the palace examination this year. Those who lost were very helpless.

"I will bring two knives!" Li Fanming bet that Fang Yun would not be able to enter the top 20 of the Great Confucian Hunting List.

After reading some letters, Fang Yun suddenly remembered something very important, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

This was the first time he laughed from the bottom of his heart after coming out of Sangu.

Fang Yun sent letters to the six ministries and nine ministers, the four ministers of the cabinet, the queen mother of the king, and the Shengyuan Lidian, asking them to prepare for the wedding.

The marriage of the Xusheng is equivalent to the wedding of the king, and the grand ceremony is unimaginable.

The wedding date is set after the competition for the head of the country.

If he can win the head of the country, plus the previous first place of the case of the boy, the first place of the scholar, the first place of the juren, the first place of the jinshi, and the first place of the palace examination that can be said to have been obtained, Fang Yun will become the first six talents in the history!
