The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Silence returned again in front of the first house.

No one thought that Fang Yun would be so irritated that he was actually preparing to target Kangshe.

Those who have lived in the capital for many years and understand the situation in Jingguo are very calm. Everyone knows the behavior of Xiao Guogong and Prince Kang's house. Even if Fang Yun does not declare war in public, Xiao Guogong will continue to take action.

Now that Fang Yun is directly declaring war, the little prince will have no way to hide in the dark, and it will bring great pressure to Prince Kang's Palace. Many people who originally wanted to join Prince Kang's Palace will reconsider.

Fang Yun wants to suppress Prince Kang's Mansion with his upright literary name and popular support!

Fang Yun looked at the young Duke and said, "Otherwise, how can I repay you for killing me?"

Before the young Duke could speak, Lei Yuanting said: "Fang Yun, I didn't expect you to be such an arrogant person. Then I'll see what you can do to Kangshe! In a few days, my Lei family will send someone here Study in Jingguo and join Kangshe together. Don’t hold back when the time comes, but the premise is that you can survive tomorrow!”

Wei Yu said with a little anger: "Don't worry, everyone, he will definitely be defeated in Lingyan Pavilion tomorrow! If he wants to expel me from the academy, he must surpass me in Lingyan Pavilion. He has never entered Lingyan Pavilion." Ge, it's absolutely impossible! Fang Yun, I just wanted you to admit defeat and not break up with you, but you actually want to expel me from the academy. Don't blame me when you are expelled from the academy! "

"You have never had any shame, so how can you tear it apart? Your ancestors, Wei Yu, were born in Jingguo for generations. You have been favored by Jingguo all your life. You just don't want to repay it. You actually colluded with outsiders to harm me. Even if you have shame, I will tear it off with my own hands." ! Get out! Don't dirty the road in front of the door!" Fang Yun said and turned back to the study.

"Fang Yun, I will defeat you in Lingyan Pavilion tomorrow!" Wei Yu said loudly.

"Let's wait until you win!" Zhao Hongzhuang then returned to the yard.

One person said: "From now on, no one from Kangshe is my friend! Farewell!"

"I, Song Yu, will never associate with people from Kangshe again. I don't want to be criticized by thousands of people and reviled by thousands of people!"

"Count me in! From now on, people from Kangshe will not be allowed to enter the Mingyue Building outside the Academy. My family will not do your business, and my family will not accept your dirty money! Brother Dongyun is right, I, Jingguo, still There are scholars!”

"I am just an ordinary scholar. I will leave the academy next year after completing three years. Prince Kang's Mansion once recruited me, but I have been hesitant. Today I decided to formally refuse. I am gentle and will not say a bad word about Prince Kang's Mansion, nor will I No need to say more, I just want to say that I am still a scholar. Sorry, Mr. Xiaoguo." The judge bowed his hands to Mr. Xiaoguo and turned to leave.

There are more than forty people in Kangshe. When they came, their momentum was high, like an army pressing down on the country. But now, many people's bodies are moving slightly, and they have completely lost the calmness they had before coming.

The young Duke's heart sank to the bottom, and his face was gloomier than the dark clouds at night. Prince Kang's palace had always had a bad reputation. Ever since the late emperor was seriously ill, there were rumors in various parts of Jingguo that it was Prince Kang who harmed people.

Fang Yun's reputation in Jingguo is no less than that of Zuo Xiang, who has the power to overwhelm a state with his writings and break the courage of thousands of people. Once he breaks with Kangshe, it will have a huge blow to the reputation of Kangshe and Prince Kang's palace.

The Juren invited by Prince Kang's Palace is a living example. Normally, Prince Kang's Palace doesn't care about such people at all, but it is this kind of insignificant Juren who forms the bottom of Jingguo's officialdom, everywhere.

Unlike those high-level officials who "have a country to sell", these lower-level officials are very clear-headed no matter how dissatisfied they are with Jingguo or envious of Qingguo Wuguo. Once Jingguo falls, they will either continue to be petty officials as they are now, or lose their current status. Not only will they not get much benefit, but they will even face risks. Naturally, they do not want to see Jingguo perish.

What's more, no matter what happens to these people, they always want Jingguo to be strong.

One is the example of literati and the hope of Jingguo, which proves with iron-clad facts that the literary can dominate Qingguo. The other is the notorious Prince Kang's Mansion, where the low-level officials and scholars can make choices with almost no need to think about it.

The scholars at the bottom may not seem to have much effect, but they can influence the people of Jingguo in all aspects. When the time comes, as long as someone at the top raises their voice, Prince Kang's palace will be isolated immediately.

Fang Yun's intention of declaring war today is not to Kangshe, but to gradually separate Prince Kang's Mansion from more scholars!

From then on, all actions of Prince Kang's Mansion will be noticed by countless people in Jingguo, any small mistakes will be magnified infinitely, and any good deeds will be forgotten.

Fang Yun's declaration of war tied Prince Kang's hands and feet.

Thinking of this, the little Duke broke into a cold sweat.

"It must be a coincidence, it must be a coincidence, how dare Fang Yun be so smart! It must be a coincidence!"

Fang Yun slowly entered the study room with a touch of coldness on his face. Even the famous young writers of later generations can influence many people. With his literary name and status in Jingguo, it is easy to guide public opinion and people's hearts.

Now, even if Fang Yun does not exert any force himself, forces in the same camp as him or with interests related to him will add fuel to the flames, and continue to strengthen the concept of "Fang Yun is a model for literati" among the people of Jingguo, as a way to resist the left prime minister and King Kang. flag.

The power of the people seems unable to play a decisive role, but as long as the power of Prince Kang's palace is weakened to a critical point, the power of the people of Jingguo can become the last straw that breaks the camel's back!

Fang Yun stands on the peak of another brilliant era.

Zhao Hongzhuang walked into the study and looked at Fang Yun with bright eyes. A glimmer of admiration flashed in her eyes, which quickly disappeared.

"Fang Yun, I defeated you at the chess table, but you are my teacher in the world of chess." Zhao Hongzhuang said respectfully.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "After all, I don't know as much about Jingguo and Shiguo as you do. Now you are what Confucius said, 'sensitive and eager to learn, and not ashamed to ask questions.' Fortunately, you are a girl. If you were a man, how could you be so big in the world?" A place for us men.”

"The fact that you think like this means that even if I am a man, you are still above me." Zhao Hongzhuang said with a smile.

"I won't flatter you. Come with me to see off Chang Dongyun tomorrow. Do you a favor and transfer him to the front army. Under the care of General Zhang Poyue, he will not suffer much. If he enters the left With the rear army of the Xiang faction, his future is even more worrying."

"Don't worry, he is a Jinshi. As long as it is not ordered by the Minister of War personally, it is up to him to decide which army he will go to. The Minister of War is firmly against the Left Prime Minister and King Kang. As for the head of the military, Marshal Chen, it is even less likely to help the evil." Zhao Hongzhuang said.

"That's good. You continue to teach me how to paint."

One person teaches and another person learns.

Fang Yun has read a large number of painting works and is very knowledgeable in all aspects. Therefore, Zhao Hongzhuang's teaching progress is very fast. One day to teach Fang Yun is equivalent to one year to teach others.

Early the next morning, at dawn, Fang Yun left the first house alone and walked towards the middle house area in the cool morning breeze.

The upper house consists of ten spacious single-door courtyards, each separated by grass and trees.

When Fang Yun walked to the seventh house, the door creaked open, and he saw a young man wearing a white robe and Jinshi uniform walking out, followed by a young book boy.

This young Jinshi's forehead is very large and slightly protruding. At first glance, his appearance seems a bit abnormal, but if you look at his eyes again, you will involuntarily ignore his forehead. Instead, you will feel that this person has an outstanding temperament and is very pleasing to the eye.

Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, and the man also stopped, and then the two of them smiled and held hands while facing each other.

"I've met Marquis Fang Wen."

"I have seen Qiao ranked second on the list. Brother Juze deserves to be ranked second on the list. He gets up so early every day."

Fang Yun not only met this person at the Chen family's wedding banquet, but Qiao Juze on Yushan Mountain yesterday also toasted him. Although he didn't speak because there were too many people, Fang Yun remembered it clearly. This person is from Guanhai Society. He is married to a girl from the Chen family. He has a high reputation in the academy. He has completely given up his official career and has been studying at Jingguo Academy. Soon he will go to Confucius Academy and even have the opportunity to enter. Further studies in the Holy Academy.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Juze laughed and said: "Brother Fang thinks highly of me. Normally I would be fast asleep at this time. The reason why I got up early today is that I am on the same road with you."

"So it turns out that Brother Juze also wanted to send Dongyun off?"

"Of course, although I am not familiar with Chang Dongyun, we are also classmates. His actions yesterday made me admire him in my heart. If we don't see each other off, I will feel uneasy." Qiao Juze said.

"In that case, let's go together, please."

"please."

The two of them walked forward together.

Qiao Juze said as he walked: "I heard that Brother Fang is going to use Lingyan Pavilion to expel Wei Yu from the academy?"

"This is indeed the case." Fang Yun said.

"I admire Brother Fang's courage, but with all due respect, you have never entered Lingyan Pavilion, so doing this is a bit abrupt." The two of them walked in the morning light, and Qiao Juze's forehead became even brighter.

Fang Yun said: "If we do everything with a 100% certainty, then we will miss many opportunities. Sometimes, it is necessary to make a decision when it is time to stop. Time waits for no one."

"What Brother Fang said is absolutely true. But don't worry, Brother Fang, if you fail this time, I will definitely initiate the expulsion of Wei Yu in one month!" Qiao Juze looked forward, his eyes brighter than his forehead.

"Brother Qiao doesn't have to be like this." Fang Yun sighed.

Qiao Juze smiled and said: "You fought alone in Jiangzhou and Qingguo, but you must not do this when you arrive in the capital. I, Qiao Juze, am also a scholar."

"Alas...Thank you, Brother Qiao." Fang Yun said.

As the two were walking, a group of scholars passed by on the right side of the road, nearly twenty people, including children, scholars, and scholars.

One of them had good eyesight and immediately saluted loudly and said: "I have seen Marquis Fang Wen and I have seen Qiao Bangyan."

The rest of the people were stunned and immediately saluted and greeted him in surprise. A few candidates were very calm, but the scholars and students looked at Fang Yun curiously, a little excited and a little restrained, as if they were seeing a particularly great man.

"I've met all of you classmates." Fang Yun and Qiao Juze returned the greeting together.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "I don't think you are doing morning exercises, but are you going to see Chang Dongyun off?"

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.

"Brother Juze and I are also going to see him off. Let's drop by and go together."

"yes."

Everyone walked quickly to catch up. Those few people were half a body behind Fang Yun and Qiao Juze, while the others were further behind.

The young boys' faces were all red, and they all wanted to answer Fang Yun, but they were too shy to come forward.

I met several more groups of people along the way, and when I approached Chang Dongyun's residence, Fang Yun was already followed by hundreds of people.
