The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"What I'm saying is that you should deal with the monster saints with all your strength and don't care about those villains."

"This means that you don't have to worry if you have too many debts, and you don't feel itchy if you have too many lice. You really have thought of everything. Even if you go to the capital, I don't have to worry too much. As long as you don't have bad relations with the semi-saint family, and beware of the left prime minister, there are the Queen Mother and Wen Xiang There is no one in the capital who can compete with you! I hope that the people in the capital will compete with you in terms of literary skills, so let’s have a smile.”

Several people were smiling happily, and they all wanted to see Fang Yun bully others.

Fang Yun did not smile, but looked at the Dayuan officials and said slowly: "There is something I don't want to complain about. The security of Dayuan Mansion is a big problem!"

The expressions of the officials in Dayuan Mansion changed. Not to mention that Fang Yun had just experienced the Holy Pen Evaluation and his literary reputation had reached its peak. The title of "Cabinet Walking" alone could surpass all the officials present except Ge Zhoumu and Governor Lu. .

Magistrate Sun had a very good relationship with Fang Yun. He guessed that Fang Yun was not embarrassing him, so he immediately said: "If you don't pay attention to me, I hope Lord Wenhou will remind you."

Except for two third-rank officials, Ge Zhoumu and Governor Lu, the other officials present slightly lowered their heads and lowered their arms, showing great respect.

Those friends from Shengxu looked at Fang Yun curiously. They did not expect that although he was young, once he spoke as an official, he would have strong official authority and not appear immature at all.

Fang Yun said: "My four life extension fruits belong to the five people who sacrificed their ten years of life. Do you know?"

"Your Majesty knows." Dozens of officials whispered.

"My teacher Mr. Wang is among the five, and just yesterday, Mrs. Wang came to see me and said that a man named Guan Changyu was trying to forcefully buy their longevity fruit. Not only that, but also Mr. Wang's son. The future of Mr. Wang and his family was threatened. I was so angry that I asked someone to break his legs if he didn't leave immediately. As far as I know, he didn't leave yesterday. What do you think should be done with this person? ?" Fang Yun said.

The officials were extremely angry. That was the life-extending fruit that Fang Yun had risked his life to obtain from the Holy Ruins, and Li Wenying had taken care of it. How dare anyone dare to risk the world's disapproval to buy it by force?

Several senior officials lowered their heads and thought.

Chen Xibi was filled with righteous indignation. He lost his arm in that battle. Later, he recovered after eating Fang Yun's Shengshen Fruit. He became true life-and-death friends with Mr. Wang and others.

"The life-extension fruit is related to the battle with the demon clan, so this matter will be left to our army. The general will definitely handle this matter properly!" Chen Xibi added an accent to the last four words, indicating that he must interrupt. Guan Changyu's legs.

"Then I'll trouble General Chen!" Fang Yun put away the majesty of a third-grade official, smiled, and returned to an ordinary judge.

The officials relaxed a little.

Just as Chen Xibi was about to leave, Si Zheng from the Criminal Division said in a low voice: "The steward Yu is the steward, and his father is the second son of the family head and has a prominent position."

Lu Hongyi snorted coldly and said: "He is running wild on the territory of Jiangzhou, not to mention 'managing' the family, even if he is 'managing' the country, so what? He can also touch the life-extension fruit? General Chen, you take people there, something happened I'm holding on!"

"Yes!" Chen Xibi left in a hurry.

Gezhou Mu's expression changed, and then he said: "It's a small matter, and Xibi will definitely be able to handle it properly. Marquis Wen, Prime Minister Wen has already driven away. When you get off Shushan tomorrow, he will come to pick you up in person. For tonight's celebration banquet, he will I won’t participate.”

Fang Yun thought that Jiang Hechuan might have some important mission, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Dong Wencong became anxious and said: "Master Wenhou made a holy pen review. This is a matter of universal celebration in Jingguo. How can Prime Minister Wen not participate in the celebration banquet? He left just now. I thought he was just looking for a place to rest!"

Gezhou Mu looked a little unnatural and said: "The eighteen dragon carriages are heading towards Jixian County."

Everyone thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and looked at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that even Wen Xiang went to the Wudao River. The name of the Wudao River was completely confirmed. With the scheming of the county magistrate Cai He, he would definitely publicize this matter and write him into the "Legend of the White Snake" 》There is nothing wrong with being Fahai.

"If Wen Xiang makes a breakthrough and becomes Wen Zong, you will make a great contribution!" Dong Wencong said.

Fang Yun smiled humbly, praying in his heart that he would be fine if he was half holy.

Gezhou Mu said to Fang Yun: "I just received a letter, it is related to you, follow me to the pavilion to discuss it in detail."

"Okay." Fang Yun followed Gezhou Mu towards the pavilion.

Fang Yun looked around and said as he walked: "Beggars... Ahem, it seems that Archbishop Zhao Jingkong left long ago?"

Gezhou Mu smiled and said: "He has a weird temperament. He would like to find a place to beg far away from us. Before he left, he muttered that he would wait for you to go to him when you are down and he will teach you how to beg."

"This imperial uncle is really an interesting person." Fang Yun said.

Walking to the pavilion, Gezhou Mu used his literary power to isolate the inside and outside, and whispered: "Marquis Wen, don't you know that the housekeeper is King Kang's loyal dog? Huh, what Lu Hongyi said is righteous, he is close to Zuo Xiang, Naturally, I hope you will have a conflict with King Kang! You also know some things, and I will not hide it. Wu State supports King Kang, and Qing State supports the left prime minister. They have been looking forward to the demise of Jing State! "

"I know all this." Fang Yun thought to himself that Gezhou Mu was indeed a member of the officialdom. If it were a fool who might have said it in public just now, it would be equivalent to forcing Fang Yun to express his position in public, and maybe he would hate Prince Kang.

"Then you want to break Guan Chang Yu's legs? I also know a little bit about Guan Chang Yu's coming to Jiangzhou to prepare a gift for Yi Zhishi's canonization. They say that Yi Zhishi can be canonized in a year or two at most. You He said, if King Kang says something wrong about you in front of Yisheng in the future, even if Yisheng will not harm you, you will suffer a big loss for any reason, which will be much more serious than losing a longevity fruit. ." Gezhou Mu persuaded.

Fang Yun said: "I have thought about it too. Not to mention that Yi Zhishi will be canonized for who knows how long. Even if he is canonized, he will not embarrass me for a trivial matter. At most, he will have a bad impression of me. I have read this person's Biography, he’s very tolerant.”

Gezhou Mu said softly: "You are still young. If you are weak and he is strong, he will naturally be tolerant. If you have a tendency to catch up with him, he may not care at first, but if King Kang and those villains keep saying If you say bad things, will he still remain generous as time goes by?"

Fang Yun was stunned for a moment. He really didn't think about it, because Yi Zhishi was a noble scholar in the hearts of the world. However, what Ge Zhoumu said was absolutely correct, and this possibility was not impossible.

"If King Kang would go to Yi Zhishi to ruin my reputation because of a mere supervisor, Yu, who regards me as a mortal enemy, then there is no need to be afraid of such a person. Perhaps Yi Zhishi will look down on him instead." Fang Yun said.

Gezhou Mu sighed softly, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and said: "No wonder I was only a Jinshi when I was young, and it was difficult for me to break through to the Imperial Academy. It turns out that I regard everyone as a member of the officialdom and think about everything with officialdom thinking. You Not an official The people in the field see it more clearly than I do. Indeed, King Kang is overbearing and may not tolerate you, but Yi Zhishi is a great Confucian who can become a semi-sage after all, and he may not be as fussy as the people in the officialdom. As long as you don't block his holy path, he will. It shouldn’t make any enemies.”

Fang Yun immediately said: "This is just a guess. You must be on guard against others. Maybe you are the right one."

Gezhou Mu chuckled, touched his gray goatee, and said: "You don't need to comfort me. Thanks to you, I already know why I can't become an imperial scholar. If I find the reason, I can slowly solve it. Let's go, you go home first. Let’s prepare a banquet for you tonight. “What do you want?”

Fang Yun thought for a while and said, "I'd rather host the banquet and book it at Wangjiang Tower. It's not only a celebration banquet, but also an apology for the friends who were deceived by the bitter meat trick. I'll invite Magistrate Cai to come then."

"I'm just telling you why that cunning boy Cai He is so confused. It turns out he was cooperating with you to stage a painful plot, okay."

Fang Yun secretly laughed in his heart, Cai He was already over thirty, and only a man in his fifties or sixties like Ge Zhoumu dared to call him a boy.

Fang Yun walked towards the door, and walked out of the gate of Zhouwenyuan in a lively manner with his friends from Shengxu.

After the list was released, the huge list disappeared, and the new ordinary list was posted on the bulletin board in front of the Academy. Many people gathered there and talked about it.

The status of a scholar is much higher than that of a scholar. He is already considered a celebrity within a state, which is nothing in a capital city like Dayuanfu. If he returns to a small county and works hard for decades, he will definitely become a famous family.

Fortunately, the people in Shengyuan Continent have world-wide ambitions and a heart to contribute to the human race. They will basically not retire until they are 70 or 80 years old. Even if they retire, they will still participate in cultural gatherings for the elderly in various places on the Double Ninth Festival every September.

Jiujiu sounds the same for a long time, which means longevity. Originally, only one state in Jiaguo designated the Double Ninth Festival as the Respect for the Aged Day. Later, it spread all over the world, and ten countries celebrated the Double Ninth Festival at the same time as the Respect for the Aged Day.

Fang Yun and his friends walked home and talked, occasionally looking at the biography, and soon saw the biography from Zeng Yuan.

"Ji Meng, the number one scholar in Jingguo, fell into the recitation of heaven's will first, and his literary courage was shattered. He insulted you, but you asked for his manuscripts, and your holy pen commented, but he did not admit defeat. The difference between this is as wide as the abyss."

Fang Yun just sighed softly. He thought that Ji Mengxian was so talented that he would not be able to see through his intentions. Unexpectedly, he was deceived by the hatred of the country and lost his literary talent in vain. He just didn't know if Ji Mengxian would join the gathering in Bakong Mountain. Wen Ge became the vanguard of attacking himself.

Later, Zeng Yuan described in detail what happened at Mingyue Tower in Xun County, as well as what happened in other places. Many literati who were so arrogant last night fell under the judgment of the Holy Pen.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Fang Yun saw that all the previous soldiers had withdrawn. The neighbors had been waiting for a long time and came forward to say hello.

After entering the door, Fang Yun didn't care about his friends, locked himself in the study, and seriously wrote back letters to the heads of the semi-saint families or the great scholars. Since those people were preparing for the future, he shouldn't be too eager, and everything would be done. Let’s talk about Jinshi.

After replying to the letter, Fang Yun invited Cai He to attend today's celebration banquet and had to explain clearly in front of everyone.

Fang Yun left the study and found that his friends were talking loudly. They first speculated on how many mountains he, a holy person, could reach this time, and then guessed what the exams would be on the lower floors of the mountain.

Fang Yun looked at the sky and saw that it was already noon, so he asked someone to prepare lunch. Just as he was about to chat with his friends, he heard an unfamiliar voice suddenly coming from outside.

"Congratulations to Marquis Fang Wen, congratulations to Marquis Fang Wen!"
