The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1620 Disputes in Hometown

The vandalism, smashing, and looting in Qing State were suppressed by local government officials and garrison troops, and a number of people were arrested. Xiangzhou seemed to have returned to calm, but soon some Qing State people posted ridiculing articles on the forum, triggering a verbal war between Jing State people and Qing State people.

In the Kong Shengwen world, which Shengyuan Continent paid no attention to, Chu State began an extremely cruel purge.

Even in the Qin State with strict laws or the land of Yan and Zhao where the knight-errant spirit was respected, many scholars could not believe that the new King of Chu would do this.

Among the Chu clan, more than 30% were expelled from the family tree and reduced from royal family members to ordinary people. Most of them were those closest to the blood of the old King of Chu.

The middle and high-level officials of the Chu State were undergoing a major change. Some good people discovered that all the people or families who had pursued the Pearl River Army or the Zhujiang Marquis Mansion in the past had suffered a heavy blow this time. Those who had seized the title, Those who ransacked their homes.

However, those families that had offended the Zhujiang Army or the Zhujiang Marquis Mansion but showed mercy were only lightly punished and were not harmed.

This great purge of Chu State directly affected 70% of the officials of Chu State, and indirectly affected all officials. Every state, every prefecture and even every county was submerged by this unprecedented wave.

Such a large-scale purge was unprecedented in the history of the literary world. Scholars from all over the world did not believe that the new King of Chu could get what he wanted, and thought that a large number of scholars would resist or even treason.

However, what shocked everyone was that except for a few scholars who complained, most officials did not speak up. This group of officials seemed to support the new King of Chu.

As for what happened in Chu State, not only scholars from other countries were puzzled, but even scholars from Chu State were not clear about it.

Because many people saw Zhang Longxiang entering the palace, they all knew that the whole incident was closely related to Zhang Longxiang. Some even believed that Zhang Longxiang initiated a palace coup.

However, this is what scholars from all over the literary world find difficult to understand. The literary world is not a place where one can rebel casually, because the literary world belongs to the Confucian family.

In history, there were also some royal children who rebelled and even joined forces with the great Confucians. This kind of power could have surely defeated the king, but in the end they were stopped by the Kong family. All those who rebelled met a tragic end.

Zhang Longxiang is not even a member of the royal family of the King of Chu, and the identity of the new King of Chu is well known to everyone.

In the end, many people came to the conclusion that the Kong family could not stand the misdeeds of the previous King of Chu, so they simply used Zhang Longxiang's help to launch a purge.

After the Great Purge, although the Chu State was riddled with holes, it was also full of vitality as never before.

The people of Chu State are more confident than before, because Chu State has produced Zhang Longxiang, a big shot who can dominate the literary world.

The spiritual leader of Chu State has changed from King Chu to Zhang Longxiang.

The changes in Chu State aroused the attention of some aristocratic families in the Shengyuan Continent, but they all thought it was an internal act of the Kong family and did not think it was led by Zhang Longxiang, so they did not continue to pay attention.

On the contrary, they have been paying attention to the changes in Xiangzhou. Many people smell something unusual from what happened in Xiangzhou these days.

Fang Yun spent most of his time casting the True Dragon Observatory and writing "History of Ancient Demons", and the day when the first part of "History of Ancient Demons" was completed was getting closer and closer.

Fang Yun only learned about many things happening in Xiangzhou from the Lunbang and Jingguodi newspapers. However, Xiangzhou was under the jurisdiction of local officials, so Fang Yun was not too worried. What Fang Yun really worries about is Ning'an City. Officials in Ning'an County often send him letters, reports or ask for advice. Fang Yun is like the emperor of Ning'an County.

Students of the Fang family in Ji County occasionally wrote letters, which were selected by the head of the Fang family and sent to Fang Yun. Most of these letters ask for advice on how to read, and occasionally they are a beacon of hope for someone who is confused in his heart. Since there are not many letters, Fang Yun will reply to them one by one.

Shortly after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Fang Yun was exhausted after repeated failures in building the True Dragon Observatory, so he walked to the yard and took a walk while thinking.

The little fox Nunu immediately ran into Fang Yun's arms and did not disturb Fang Yun. She just enjoyed the time with Fang Yun.

Yang Yuhuan was also sitting in the yard, slowly doing needlework, occasionally glancing at Fang Yun, making the yard more and more warm.

Fang Yun was walking slowly when he noticed Fang Daniu out of the corner of his eye. He didn't pay attention at first, but as a bachelor of Zhizhi Realm, Fang Yun instinctively used his ability to detect objects and noticed that Fang Daniu's mood was wrong. Even his breathing and blood flow rate changed. Soon I guessed that Fang Daniu was in trouble and wanted to ask for help but was embarrassed.

Fang Yun smiled and walked towards Fang Daniu and said, "Brother Daniu, what are you thinking about?"

Fang Daniu was startled, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Nothing, nothing."

"Tell me, you can't hide it from me." Fang Yun said.

Fang Daniu showed a troubled look and said: "You are indeed Xusheng, I can't hide it from you at all. You also know that my parents are used to living in Ji County and don't want to go to the capital. They have been living in the old house at home. . The old house is in disrepair, and I have sent it over the years. With a lot of money back, my parents immediately rebuilt the house, but once it was rebuilt, there was a dispute with the Lu family in the west. There was a narrow open space between the two houses, so my parents occupied it and built a wall. The family was unhappy and said that the Lu family also had a share."

Fang Daniu hesitated for a moment and continued: "I can't say who is right or wrong about this matter, but the two families couldn't give in to each other, so they quarreled, and my mother became angry. My father felt sorry for my mother, so he wrote to me I wrote a letter asking me to find the magistrate of Ji County to punish the Lu family. Of course I know I can't do that. If I did, wouldn't it be in vain that I followed you all these years? ”

Fang Yun recalled briefly and said, "The Lu family in the west? It can't be Lu Zhan's family, right?"

Fang Daniu smiled bitterly and said, "It's Lu Zhan's family. Let me say something unpleasant. With my relationship with you, let alone the people in Ji County, even the Jinshi in Beijing and even the Hanlin master will give in. But Lu Zhan is your childhood classmate and friend. His parents have always felt that his son's relationship with you is not inferior to mine. I guess they suspect that my parents are bullying their Lu family, so they are arguing with them."

Fang Yun smiled indifferently, and naturally understood that both Fang Daniu's family and Lu Zhan's family were close to him. With this relationship, the two families dared to control ordinary Juren and even Jinshi. They probably did things that took advantage of the power of others. However, at least there is no bad record at present, otherwise it would have caused a lot of trouble.

Fang Daniu blushed and said, "I wanted to ask you for help, but I felt that it would be an insult to the great Void Saint to ask you for such a small matter, so I just thought it was better to forget it."

"Although it is a small matter, since I have come across it, and both families have a close relationship with me, I will try to solve it." Fang Yun said.

Fang Daniu felt even more embarrassed and said, "I think you should not care about it. If it gets out and the great Void Saint handles the small matter between our two families, I am afraid I will not be able to face people in the future."

"No problem." Fang Yun said and took out a pen and paper.
