The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 3080: The Great Plan of the Zongsheng

Zong Ganyu continued: "I have selfish motives for the Zong family and the Miscellaneous Family, but I have never sacrificed the interests of Qing! The Zong family and Qing are like lips and teeth."

Everyone was shocked again. This Zong Ganyu really didn't have much time left, and he spoke so directly. Zong Ganyu actually said that once the Zongsheng's path to sainthood was blocked, or even suppressed by Fang Yun, once the saint died, it would be a disaster for Qing.

Qing has countless geniuses, but at present, no one can be canonized in a short time.

Yan Yukong's talent is no less than Yi Zhishi, and even exceeds in many aspects, but Yan Yukong is not Fang Yun after all, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be canonized in a short time.

Except for Yan Yukong, no one in Qing dares to say that he has the talent of a half-saint.

Zu Chongzhi was born in Qing, but his time is coming and he can't hold on for too long.

So once the Zongsheng dies, Qing will be in a state of lack of successors and will inevitably be annexed.

Some people were silent, especially some disciples of aristocratic families, their eyes slightly lowered, no longer looking at others.

For example, the Xisheng family.

As for the Xunzi family, no one came.

The attitude of the Xunzi family can be seen.

Dai Lang, the head of the Daisheng family, said: "The Dai family should do its best to protect the Qing Kingdom!"

Many people present secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Dai family is a Confucian family, and Dai Sheng is the master of "Book of Rites", with a respected status.

However, when everyone looked at the Dai family, there was a trace of regret.

Because everyone knew that Fang Yun's attack on the Holy Way of Rites was unprecedented, and even ordinary scholars could see that even if the Holy Way of Rites would not decline in the future, it would be difficult to grow under the suppression of Fang Yun and the Legalists.

The Dai family was forced to do so. In order to avoid damage to their own holy way, they could only grit their teeth and support the Zong family.

If they did not support the Zong family, they would definitely have no chance. If they supported the Zong family, they would still have a glimmer of hope.

In the battle of the holy way, there is only victory and defeat, and there is no retreat.

Zong Ganyu nodded gently and said, "Thank you, Brother Dai. Qing is in danger. Are you still hesitating?"

Everyone was silent.

Afterwards, some people came out to support, but the total number never exceeded half.

After a long time, Tan Wei, the new Minister of Rites, said, "I have something I don't understand. I would like to ask Mr. Zong."

"You can speak frankly." Zong Ganyu said.

"How far has the plan of the sage gone?"

Everyone was shocked, but then thought about it.

In fact, this is the key to everything.

If the legend says that the sage is really planning the two races and has a shocking plan, once the plan is formed, the contribution to the human race will be no less than Fang Yun, and Fang Yun can't do anything to the sage.

But if the sage's plan is just a bluff, or there is no possibility of success at all, then there is no need for everyone to support Qing.

Zong Ganyu smiled slightly and said, "I just asked my father yesterday."

Everyone was even more surprised and looked at Zong Ganyu in disbelief. It was not because Zong Ganyu knew Zong Sheng's big plan, but because he realized that Zong Ganyu might want to disclose this big plan to the outside world.

"I wonder if Brother Zong can tell me?" Tan Wei said.

Zong Ganyu glanced at everyone again and said slowly: "If you don't want to know, you can leave the hall and come back in a while."

There was a slight commotion in the hall.

Some people were talking, and some were whispering secretly.

Soon, some children of noble families and scholars walked out of the hall and stood outside the door.

The total number was close to a quarter.

The Zong family looked at the backs of those people coldly, gritting their teeth.

Then, the door of the hall was closed.

Those people were waiting outside, and they didn't speak at first. After a long time, a scholar from the Shi family walked towards the head of the Xi family, bowed, and said: "May I ask if Mr. Xi has any advice?"

All the scholars outside the hall hurriedly looked at the head of the Xi family, not letting go of his every move and every look, wishing to tear his flesh apart to find out what he was thinking.

Xi Sheng is a half-saint of the Shi family, with a long life span. It is because of his long life span that Qing Kingdom has three saints in one country.

Although Xi Sheng was very low-key after Zong Sheng became famous, resigned from all the positions in the Saint Academy, and practiced in peace, but everyone, especially the scholars of the Shi family, knew that things would not be so simple.

What the scholars of the Shi family wanted to do most was not to study the past, but to foresee the future!

Everyone thought that Xi Sheng had prepared a back-up plan for the Xi family.

The reason why these people came out was more than half because of the reaction of the Xi family!

The Xi family would never stand on the wrong side!

Xi Sheng never missed it in those days!

Not long ago, someone on the discussion list discussed the timing of Xi Sheng's death, which happened to be when Fang Yun became a six-headed scholar. Many people suspected that Xi Sheng had foreseen Fang Yun's achievements, so he didn't have to work hard to maintain his life span.

After Xi Sheng's death, the Xi family suddenly became very alienated from Zong Sheng, but instead kept showing goodwill to Fang Yun, and their connection with Jing Kingdom was also very close.

Now the Xi family has controlled nearly 20% of the trade between Qing and Jing. Even when the Dragon Clan banned the sea, the Xi family's ships could still sail unimpeded.

Mr. Xi smiled, but did not answer. He just stood up straight and looked into the distance.

When everyone saw Mr. Xi's appearance, they didn't know why their confidence increased greatly.

These scholars who came out were generally older. They grew up listening to the legend of Xi Sheng, and their worship of Xi Sheng was far higher than that of Zong Sheng.

A considerable number of them had their families suppressed by Zong family and had to stand on the side of Xi family.

Not long after, the door of the hall opened again, and people from outside entered one after another.

They carefully observed the people in the hall and felt uneasy.

Because the scholars inside suddenly had an unprecedented confidence, not like the pride before the victory, but the joy after the victory.

They looked at the people who walked out with a little more contempt, and even gloating.

The people outside became more and more uneasy as they walked in. They first secretly glanced at Zong Ganyu, but found nothing unusual. Then they glanced at the Xi family and found that everyone in the Xi family was smiling, as if they were in the spring breeze, so they were slightly relieved.

No matter how far Zong Sheng's plan has reached, no matter how confident the Zong family is, if the Xi family is not afraid, then they don't have to be afraid.

The door slammed shut.

Zong Ganyu said slowly: "Since it is a meeting of ministers, then vote according to the old rules. I put forward the first vote proposal, that is, to launch a war to seize the state against Jingguo, and end with the recovery of Xiangzhou!"

Not only the people who just walked out, but also the people who have been inside looked strange. They didn't expect Zong Ganyu to propose this.

Everyone then realized that the second battle of the two worlds had ended completely, Fang Yun had returned, and both countries had semi-saints in charge, so they could start a war to seize the state!

The war to seize the state was a compromise choice made by the human race under helplessness.

If there were huge contradictions between the two countries that could not be resolved, and the saints and the Saint Academy did not want to see a full-scale war between the two countries, then one country could launch a war to seize the state.

There were many strict conditions for the war to seize the state.
