The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Several scholars from Minggu Mansion came out and carried Chen Zhiyuan away with the Yamen servants.

Whether it was Fang Yun's friends from the Holy Ruins or the officials sent to him by Yuhai City, they were all watching the announcement of the results outside the Academy of Literature. When they saw this scene, they felt sorry for each other. Everyone understood that Fang Yun and the Queen Mother were playing a cruel trick. No one was angry, but they were extremely happy.

Yan Yukong sighed: "Before Fang Yun said he would give up the exam, there were many people who wanted to launch slanderous attacks, but we had no way to fight back because it was impossible to find those people one by one. You and I are not half-saints, It is possible to criticize him thousands of miles away, but Fang Yun uses the holy pen rating to fight back, okay.”

Jia Jing'an said: "It is difficult for God's will to recite the text, because it must meet two conditions. The first is to publish important attack remarks on Fang Yun's imperial examination. But if Fang Yun does not use bitter tricks, those people will definitely wait and see what happens, and at most they will just wait and see. It is impossible to verbally insult someone before they publish the results, but because of luck, they are fooled and must take action first in order to win the title.”

"The second is having extremely deep malice. If the malice was not deep, God's will would never come. It was 'criticism', not 'slander' or 'attack'. Fang Yun said that he gave up the exam, and those people wanted to Regardless of fame and fortune, whether it is for the sake of family and country, or jealousy, one will inevitably become more indulgent, no longer restrain the ill will of the other party, and take pleasure in others' misfortunes, even if one does not want to be recited by God. "

Yan Yukong nodded and said: "That's why I didn't criticize Fang Yun's cruel tricks, because although he used tricks, he never had a knife in his hands. Like Chen Zhiyuan, there are two swords that can crush his Wen Gong. One is fair. The second is to strike Fang Yun with his own sword! If he didn't use the sword to point Fang Yun, he would never face this destiny chant."

"Fang Yun has been merciful in using the chanting of God's will, because the chanting of God's will gives people a chance to repent. As long as he admits his mistakes in advance, he can avoid a catastrophe. Although the subsequent price is that once the other party has the intention to kill, Wen Gong will inevitably The literary courage is broken, but it is better than failure now.”

"That's right. Fang Yun has left them a glimmer of hope. If they don't seize it, they will be seeking death and it has nothing to do with Fang Yun."

Yan Yukong smiled when he heard "show mercy".

Li Fanming thought carefully and said: "Do you still remember the words of the head of the Sai family, a wealthy family in Shu? He personally wrote an article to attack Fang Yun. Thinking about it now, it is impossible for the leader of the family to make such a big mistake. From this point of view, he is probably a great Confucian Sai Xiaoyu instructed the head of the Sai family to pretend to attack Fang Yun. "

"So that's it. Sai Xiaoyu's mentor is Mi Sheng. It seems that he is a few semi-sage examiners..." Sun Naiyong shut up mid-sentence.

Han Shoulu chuckled and said, "I don't know how many literary gallbladders were broken today, and how many literary palaces were torn apart!"

Yan Yukong said: "This matter... is far more complicated than you think. Fang Yun's intention is not just to break people's courage."

"How do you say this?"

"You'll know within three days."

On the dragon carriage, Fang Yun looked in the direction of Qingguo with a smile. Now it was just an appetizer, and the real feast was about to be served!

The capital of the Qing Dynasty and the gardens of the clan.

As the most outstanding young generation of the Zong family, Zong Wuyuan became a Hanlin at the age of nearly 29. He ranked extremely high in the monster hunting list, enough to rank in the top 30 among the humans under the age of 30.

This person is the right minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty. He has become a third-rank official at the age of only twenty-nine, which is rare in other countries.

Zong Wuyuan is the second son of the head of the Zong family. He has studied the sacred teachings of the Za family deeply. Among the younger generation of the Zong family, no one can match its teachings and principles. Even his younger brother Zong Wude is far behind. He is also the only person among the younger generation of the Zong family who has been praised by the Zong Sheng, and is known as the pillar of the future of the Zong family.

With Zong Wuyuan's identity, even if he hated Fang Yun deeply as a member of the Za family, he should not have personally written an article to accuse Fang Yun, but Zong Wuyuan did.

Not for anything else, but for my sixth brother Zong Wu De.

He is very optimistic about his younger brother, whose talent is not inferior to his own. Although he does not follow the Holy Path of Zajia and specializes in Confucianism, he still has a bright future. It would be fine if he is with Yan Yukong. After all, Yan Yukong is a semi-sage disciple and a Ya The collateral line of the Holy Family does not have an antagonistic relationship with the clan.

But now, Zong Wude is hanging out with Fang Yun and others! And ever since he left the Holy Ruins, he has been able to tell how his luck is going.

Just a year ago, his younger brother had great respect for him, but within a year, his position in his heart was actually replaced by someone from the enemy country! Moreover, he is the enemy who blocks the grand plan of the Zajia Saint Path, and is also a stumbling block that prevents the Zong Saint from stepping into the Lesser Saint!

Zong Wuyuan was heartbroken.

In order to help his younger brother find his way back, he angrily wrote the "Book of Moral Deeds" yesterday, criticizing Fang Yun's various behaviors.

Zong Wuyuan was wearing a white plum suit, sitting on a brown fragrant wood square armchair, looking at the sky outside the glass window.

"After today, Fang's luck will inevitably be damaged. If he is smart, he will keep a low profile and bide his time. If he is a little careless, he will be unable to recover! No matter what, Wu De will definitely turn around."

Zong Wuyuan thought to himself, got up, cleared the desk, and was about to go to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites. Suddenly he heard something about Rainbow shouting outside, but he didn't care.

Not long after, a vague voice sounded in his ears.

"Fang's tactics are unparalleled, his holy pen is rated highly, and he is one of the top three talents."

Zong Wuyuan's body softened and he fell down on the chair, his eyes blank and muttering to himself.

"Didn't he abandon the exam? How could he be rated as a saint? A cruel trick? Lure the snake out of its hole? What a cruel method!" Zong Wuyuan suddenly woke up and immediately bent down in the direction of Zongjia Town to salute.

"Haier Zong Wuyuan has realized his mistake and begs the ancestors to save his life!"

No reply.

Zong Wuyuan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, the hairs on his body stood up, and he quickly took out a jade dragon penholder from Yin Jiangbei.

This jade dragon penholder is light green in color and is vividly carved with two dragons playing in the water. The dragon's body is undulating as a resting place, emitting a precious light.

Zong Wuyuan held the Jade Dragon penholder tightly, looked up at the sky, and saw a pair of phantom eyes slowly approaching.

The jade dragon penholder exudes a faint clear light, like invisible water waves that continuously wash over the eyes. After ten breaths, the shadow of the eyes disappears.

"Click..."

The Jade Dragon penholder cracked, with more and more cracks, and finally shattered into powder, covering Zong Wuyuan's right hand.

Zong Wuyuan looked at the jade powder, the corners of his mouth twitched, his eyes were bloodshot, and his sadness became even stronger.

"If you admit your mistake, there is no hope for the great scholar. Now, losing the gift from my ancestors will destroy my life! My younger brother has been led astray, and today my ancestors are dissatisfied with my rashness. In the future, new and old hatreds will definitely be with you. Let’s count together!”

Zong Wuyuan sat on the chair and thought for a long time, and suddenly said loudly: "Someone, please contact those scum in Juwen Pavilion!" But then he was startled and restrained his anger.

The door opened and a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old walked in with a kind face.

Zong Wuyuan squeezed out a smile and said, "Uncle You, please come. I want to entertain a few friends from Juwen Pavilion who have lost their literary courage."

The middle-aged man said slowly: "If you invite friends with impaired literary courage, you can invite a few yesterday, and after today, there may be dozens."

Zong Wuyuan was stunned for a moment, a chill flashed in his eyes, he held the armrest tightly and said with a smile: "You can take care of this matter."

"Old slave, go now."

Xun County is the fiefdom of the Xun Sheng family.

Just last night, various families attached to the Xun family sent people to hold a grand imperial examination conference at the Mingyue Restaurant in Xun County. They even used a cultural treasure of the Xun family to temporarily expand the space of the Mingyue Restaurant ten times.

This is a cultural gathering that is rare in several years, and the number of participants even exceeds the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival cultural gatherings.

Snowflake-like poems and essays were born here, and 90% of the poems and essays directly refer to fortune.

Last year's Qingguo champion Ji Mengxian was here and became the bright moon sought after by everyone.

Before the results were released in each state, hundreds of scholars, scholars, or officials gathered in the Mingyue Tower, sitting around the table, drinking, or talking.

Everyone was in high spirits and raised their glasses to celebrate as soon as the results were announced.

However, what they were waiting for was a three-color rainbow across the sky. Everyone rushed to the window or out the door, looking up at the sky.

Then, a voice announced the rating of the Holy Pen.

"We've fallen into a trap!"

"Asshole! Everything is a trap by Fang Yun!"

"The people of Jingguo are so shameless!"

A man in black suddenly threw the cup on the ground, and a Xun family scholar overturned the table on the spot.

After the faint splashing, there was deathly silence.

Everyone felt the invisible rope thrown by Fang Yun wrap around their necks, and they couldn't breathe.

If he does not admit his mistake, at least 200 of the more than 300 people present will face the recitation of God's will!

For an essay rated by a semi-saint, it would take at least a bachelor to pass the recitation of the essay by God's will. Even if it is an imperial examination, there is a 90% chance that the literary courage will collapse!

After the silence lasted for more than ten breaths, a member of the Imperial Academy suddenly bowed in the direction of the Holy Court and said: "Because I care about the Qing Dynasty, I forget about the great talents of the human race, and because I value kinship and alienation, I neglect benevolence and righteousness. This is really wrong. Since Fang Yun After being rated by Shengbi, his writing was naturally superior to mine, and he was sincerely convinced. From then on, he would never criticize Fang Yun's poetry."

When the people in Mingyue Tower heard this, they secretly cursed Hanlin. First, they made excuses for attacking Fang Yun, then they said that they were convinced because it was a holy pen review, and finally they said that they did not criticize Fang Yun's poetry, but Occasionally, you can say a few words about Fang Yun's faults in other aspects, but you can't attack them aggressively, otherwise your literary courage will inevitably be affected.

This Hanlin is a member of a mixed family, and he avoids important matters and plays lightly while playing extremely well.

However, even Hanlin admitted his mistake and gave Jinshi a chance to succeed. Many people were grateful to this Hanlin.

"Students' hearts are for the Qing Dynasty... I will never say anything wrong about Fang Yun in the future!"

"There is no need to question the rating of the Holy Pen. I...the other party is very lucky."

Many people bowed down and bowed to admit their mistakes. Almost all of them imitated Hanlin in the front, but when they came to the back, they did not dare to avoid the easy and trivial like Hanlin. Instead, they resolutely refused to be an enemy of Fang Yun.

No one knew whether a sudden change in the recitation of God's will would happen to them. Some people who were not very powerful in attacking Fang Yun were so frightened that they bent over and admitted their mistakes.

Hundreds of people confessed their mistakes one after another. The scene was extremely spectacular, but the elite among the literati felt chilled to the bone.

The literary courage of these people has been preserved, but the "literary courage" of Qingguo has cracked a gap that can never be repaired!

The suppression of Fang Yun's literary works in one state only shocked the "literary courage" of the Qing Kingdom. It can be restored in time, but after today, 99% of the Qing Kingdom's literati will feel guilty when discussing Fang Yun! This is most fatal for readers.

"Fang Yun is so vicious! The Queen Mother Jingguo is so ruthless!" Ji Mengxian gritted his teeth.

Before Fang Yun left Jiangzhou and went to the capital, he completely destroyed the arrogance of Qingguo across the river.
