The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 3079 Ministers discuss matters

On the night after the debate, the list of all winners was announced.

However, what everyone expected was that the saints believed that the effect of this debate was far beyond imagination. Except for the two semi-saint disciples, the quotas remained unchanged, and the remaining quotas were expanded three times!

Seeing this news, some scholars from the Zajia family who had been secretly preparing to make a noise felt something stuck in their throats and were speechless.

According to the Zhe family's plan, once Fang Yun announces the winner, they will question the fairness of the reward, causing some debaters who might have received the reward to make a fuss on the discussion list. After all, the reward is too amazing.

As a result, Fang Yun's trick of pulling out the firewood was very clever, and he directly expanded the reward to three times. No matter how much trouble the Za family made, it was impossible to form a wave.

However, the Zajia family did not give up and published an article, singling out some outstanding debate replies and debaters who did not win the award, complaining about these people, and insinuating that this award was unfair.

As a result, there were overwhelming voices of opposition in the replies. The most ridiculous thing was that the Zajia family listed the debaters who did not win the award and admitted that they were indeed inferior to the debaters who had won the award.

Later, some award-winning debaters said that there was actually not much difference between themselves and the debaters listed in the article, and they would not be angry if the saints chose others but not themselves.

As a last resort, the person who posted the article can only apply to delete the article.

However, the list was not approved.

As a result, many readers began to analyze the intention of this article, and finally uncovered all the tricks in the article to sow discord and divert trouble.

Some scholars were very dissatisfied because they did not win the prize, but they also knew that they were not good enough, so they directed their anger at the person who was instigating dissension, insisting that if there were no such people, the saints would definitely give more places for awards.

Finally, many scholars reached an agreement that if anyone publishes such articles in the future, everyone can attack them as much as they want. If such people cause trouble for the saints and no longer hold debate meetings and no longer give such rewards to scholars everywhere, then the scholars will lose a huge amount. opportunity!

Because the rewards for debates are as fair as those for imperial examinations, no matter how powerful the descendants of aristocratic families are, they cannot affect this kind of literary society. Even the poorest scholars have the opportunity to receive rewards that are not available to the descendants of aristocratic families.

As a result, no one dared to write an article against this debate.

Qingguo, Xinqingjing.

A big news shocked the whole country. The Qingguo royal family and the Qingguo family have chosen a new Qingjun.

Jiu Qingjun's seven-year-old son will ascend the throne in three days.

Under the morning light, dust was flying in all directions in Xinqingjing. A large number of workers and scholars were developing Xinqingjing. Everything was in ruins and was full of vitality.

There is an old imperial palace in Xinqingjing, which is why the new capital is located here.

In the main hall of the old palace, many scholars were sitting or standing.

There was no one on the dragon chair in the main hall!

Among the scholars in the hall, the lowest academic rank is Jinshi. In addition to officials, there are also many elders from saintly families.

In the Qing Dynasty, the discussions among ministers that occurred in the human race were reproduced.

All resolutions of this meeting do not require Qing Jun's consent. They only need the consent of more than half of the people to directly form a decree.

Only when the king of a country dies or is captured, will ministers discuss matters.

In the main hall, it seemed as if a winter rain had just fallen, and it was cold and cold, as if every pore on everyone's body had been frozen, so that everyone was expressionless.

An old man, who had not been around for a long time, appeared at the front of the hall in a wheelchair.

The old man's gray hair showed a sickly yellow color, and the skin on his face seemed to be stacked on top of half-melted wax. There were so many age spots on his skin that the color of the age spots had completely replaced the skin and became a new skin color. He lowered his head slightly, apparently trying very hard to open his eyes, but could only barely reveal a crack.

This man's head tilted slightly to the left, and the corners of his mouth and eyes were also skewed. His body trembled, and his left hand was shaking irregularly, like a rag in the wind.

Many people looked at the old man with expressions of regret and sympathy.

After only a few months of not seeing each other, Zong Ganyu already looked like he was dying.

If it weren't for the avatar of Zong Sheng who rescued him, Zong Ganyu would have died.

Behind Zong Ganyu, Zong Wuyan sighed and said: "You all already know about grandpa's situation. What you don't know is that our Zong family is already preparing for grandpa's funeral. However, we learned that Qing Jun was killed by that... person After that, grandpa continued to regain his vitality. In his own words, he came back to his original glory during this debate. Afterwards, Grandpa thought that there were some things that he had to say. He didn’t want to appear here either. He knew that when he appeared here, he would get everyone’s sympathy and even ridicule. When he was about to die, he wanted to be peaceful. Spend it calmly. But he has to come! Even if he is laughed at by the world, he will come here next..."

Zong Wuyan's eyes turned red, he paused for a moment, and continued: "Next, grandpa will force himself up, use the magic medicine to restore his strength, and forcefully speak. It cannot last for too long. Please see that grandpa is dedicated to Qingguo, and don't fight. Grandpa Duan. If anyone disagrees, you can say it in advance to prevent Grandpa from being unable to finish his sentence. "

"Whoever dares to stop Mr. Zong is going against the scholars of Qing!"

"Yes, Elder Zong, please tell me!"

"Even if that person is here, I don't dare to block the elder Zong's mouth. You can rest assured!"

The officials in the palace were excited.

No one objected.

Zong Wuyan said with red eyes: "Thank you all! Grandpa, I will help you dissolve the magic medicine."

As Zong Wuyan spoke, he reached out and put his hand on Zong Ganyu's shoulder, and saw light mist drifting from Zong Ganyu's mouth, and waves of strange fragrance spread throughout the hall.

Some scholars breathed in the medicinal fragrance secretly.

Zong Ganyu's body slowly changed, his head began to move toward the center, his hands stopped shaking so violently, his spine slowly straightened, and his cloudy eyes became slightly brighter.

"call……"

Zong Ganyu let out a long breath.

He slowly scanned the hall.

At this moment, the once all-powerful Zong Ganyu seemed to be back.

Zong Ganyu showed a very faint smile, which seemed to have a hint of coldness that only exists in winter.

"I don't have much time, so let's get straight to the point. If you offend me, just wait until I die and scold me in front of my grave." Zong Ganyu showed his true character as a hero.

Everyone sighed softly.

The smile on Zong Ganyu's face disappeared and he continued: "I don't like that person very much, but I admire his achievements very much. All our mistakes are due to underestimating him. I just said what I was thinking directly. After this year , after he finishes presiding over this round of imperial examinations, the foundation of the Holy Way will be solid, and no one can rule it! The Zong Family and the Qing Kingdom will definitely be his stepping stones!

Everyone's hearts were shocked and they looked at Zong Ganyu with respect in their eyes. This old man had suffered a stroke and could die at any time, but he could still make such a clear judgment. If there was no luck, in the era when the stars of Wenqu shined all over the world, it would have been extremely difficult. Possibly canonized.
