The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

In the early morning of summer, the sky is exceptionally bright, and the blue color gradually deepens from near to the horizon.

The weather was not as hot as noon, and the carriage moved forward slowly in the cool breeze.

Fang Daniu drove carefully to avoid accidents in the city.

Tan Yu and Nie Shi looked as usual, but they were extremely vigilant in their hearts, because Mrs. Fang and Butler Fang had warned many times that if Fang Yun was hurt today, their relationship with the Fang family would be over.

Fang Yun had no intention of reading, and slowly thought about the world, his own future, and how to gain a foothold in the liberal arts college.

Entering Fuwen Academy and becoming a "student" is a new step in life.

"What awaits me in Fuwenyuan is a gorgeous and colorful life, or is it a windy, rainy and muddy journey?"

Not long after, Fang Daniu said from outside: "Young Master, we have arrived at the Academy of Arts."

Fang Daniu's voice was a little nervous.

Fang Yun smiled slightly, put the book box on his back, opened the door curtain, stepped out of the carriage, and looked forward.

The Fuwenyuan is very similar to the County Wenyuan and the State Wenyuan. There is a huge square in front of the door.

This prefectural liberal arts academy is even larger than the state liberal arts academy, because during the imperial examinations, tens of thousands of children will be admitted here to take the exams for scholars. The prefecture liberal arts academy only accepts scholars who have passed the examination. The number of scholars is far less than that of children, and the land area is not as good as that of the prefectural liberal arts academy.

The gate of Fuwenyuan has a main entrance and six side doors. The main entrance is closed and only two side doors are open.

It was still early, and there were not many people on the street. A few scholars or students were entering Fuwenyuan carrying book boxes.

Tan Yu whispered: "There is nothing strange around, no one will do anything here. Daniel will stay outside to watch the car, and Nie Shi and I can go in as attendants."

Fang Yun did not answer the conversation, because he saw three acquaintances at the side door. They were all people from the Lishan Club who invited him to attend the ci party a few days ago. Among them was Gao Minghong, a fellow from Ji County.

As soon as Gao Minghong saw Fang Yun, he waved and walked over quickly.

Gao Minghong looked gloomy and walked closer before saying, "Fang Yun, something is going to happen!"

"What's wrong?"

"I just learned the news a quarter of an hour ago. Liu Zicheng and other Yingshe people suddenly gathered at the place where the new students were reporting, and also summoned many college students. The strangest thing is that even the Weiyuan Lord suddenly appeared. It is impossible for him to receive him in person New Tongsheng. Many of us from Lishan Club have come together after hearing the news. Now most of the people from the Literary Academy are behind the door, and more people are coming. I suspect it's for you. , so I’m waiting outside the door to give you a heads up.”

Fang Yun's expression changed slightly after hearing this, and he said: "Liu Zicheng is really determined to be evil, and he finally took action personally this time. Can you guess what they are going to do?"

Gao Minghong shook his head and said: "We have been discussing for a long time and have not come up with a result. After all, this is the Fuwen Academy. It is not okay to hurt you. Your safety is not a problem. The most is to attack your literary name. You have a famous name for your poems, so you are not afraid of their provocation. , Liu Zicheng is not stupid enough to use the old method to attack you. As for writing essays on classics and meanings, it is also impossible. You have just become a student, and if they use the essays on classics and meanings to test you, even if you keep silent, it will not affect your writing. name."

"I thought about it a few days ago, but I still have no clue. After all, Liu Zicheng comes from a well-known family, with Lord Wei below and Prime Minister above him. There are so many things he can do that I can't guard against." Fang Yun said.

Gao Minghong looked worried and said: "If only Liu Zicheng and the people from Yingshe were targeting you, I wouldn't be so worried. After all, Yingshe does not belong to Liu Zicheng. Since the incident with Yan Yue and others, many people have stayed away from Liu Zicheng. His influence in Yingshe has been greatly reduced, and those who support you have the upper hand. But now that Mr. Weiyuan is here, it will never go well. After all, Mr. Weiyuan can decide everything."

Fang Yun asked: "No matter how great Lord Weiyuan is, he can't be greater than the law of the country! Can he just drive me out of Fuwenyuan?"

"He can't drive you away directly, but if he makes an excuse, he can drive you away. If he is more ruthless, he may seal your academic status and prevent you from studying in any liberal arts colleges or colleges. He may even embarrass you and prevent you from participating. Imperial examination. I previously hoped that you could go to the Prefectural Literary Academy, but if you go to the Prefectural Literary Academy, the Zuo Prime Minister and his clique may use this to attack Duke Jianmei for his personal use. After all, there has never been a precedent in Jingguo for a child to go to the Prefectural Literary Academy. Although other countries have Yes, it is recommended by the Holy Family."

Fang Yun said: "Now that I'm at the door, I have to go in, otherwise he will definitely punish me for skipping school or not being punctual. Let's go, I want to see what Liu Zicheng and Weiyuan Jun can do! This Dayuan Mansion , His surname is Liu! No matter what tricks he uses, the soldiers will stop him, and the water will cover him up! He, Liu Zicheng, can't stop my holy path!"

Fang Yun's eyes were firm, he straightened his chest slightly, raised his head, and walked forward with steady steps, without the slightest fear.

The literary vortex in Nawen Palace spun faster.

Gao Minghong and others looked at each other and couldn't help but nodded. Not to mention Fang Yun's literary talent, his calm attitude and fearless spirit in the face of danger are not comparable to ordinary people.

"It's no coincidence that he became a former Saint." A scholar whispered.

The others nodded and followed Fang Yun forward.

Tan Yu and Nie Shi looked at Fang Yun with strange eyes. They did not expect that Fang Yun was like a veteran rushing to the battlefield at this moment, his bones were as strong as a rock that would not fall in the tsunami.

No one checked at the door, and Fang Yun and others entered smoothly.

Fang Yun looked around and saw a row of tables a dozen steps away.

Fang Yun originally wanted to come. It should be a place to receive fourteen newly admitted children. A few lecturers and some servants were enough. He just wanted to take the children and their families to their respective dormitories, and then introduce them to the Fuwen Academy. rule.

However, the actual situation there was completely different from what Fang Yun originally imagined.

Several officials in official uniforms were sitting behind the table, and there were hundreds of people standing on both sides and around the table. Most of them were scholars studying in the Fuwen Academy, and there were more than 20 children. Other than that, they were all of low rank. High-ranking petty officials and even servants.

More than two hundred people were there to watch Fang Yun.

There was no wind at the entrance of the liberal arts college. It should have been warm under the summer sun, but everyone felt like it was early spring here and the chill had not gone away.

Fang Yun felt a little cold.

Wan Xuezheng, the examiner of Ji County County Examination, was also among them. He looked serious and nodded to Fang Yun, his eyes seeming to remind Fang Yun to be careful.

When Fang Yun saw Liu Zicheng, he was standing among the scholars.

He was a very handsome young man with fair skin and elegant appearance.

The two people's eyes met, one looked slightly cold, the other expressionless, and they soon missed each other like strangers.

Both men saw a ferocious beast in the other's eyes.

Fang Yun bowed to the officials and said, "Student Fang Yun, I have met all of you."

It's pretty decent, and I can't find anything rude about it.

Wan Xuezheng said with a smile: "You are worthy of being the head of Ji County's case, a double-A in the county examination, and a saint in Jingguo. I haven't seen you in just a few days, and your style is even better. If you can't enter our liberal arts academy, it will be a loss for our Dayuan Mansion." . If it is taken away by another government, it would be a dereliction of duty, Mr. Yuan, what do you think?"

The guard gentleman had a kind face, but his voice was a bit sharp: "In selecting people for our liberal arts academy, we look at virtue first and talent second. In my opinion, Fang Yun's entry into the liberal arts academy is like putting a smelly fish into the pot and tainting me. The innocence of the government."

Everyone knew that Li Wenying scolded Mr. Weiyuan for Fang Yun and made Mr. Weiyuan look embarrassed in front of many officials. They all guessed that Mr. Weiyuan would retaliate, but they did not expect that Mr. Weiyuan would be so direct. This is definitely not normal.

Fang Yun looked at Mr. Weiyuan and asked indifferently: "Why did Mr. Wei say this?"

"You were not a child when you attacked important officials of the imperial court. This is transgression! You claimed that Liu Zicheng wanted to kill you without any basis. This is slander! You were obviously going to be classmates with Yan Yue and others, but you shattered his literary palace. This is cruelty ! You wrote the article to strengthen the courage of the country but did not know to hand it over to the Imperial Court. This is greed! How can a person who is arrogant, slanderous, abusive and greedy have the qualifications to enter our Jingguo Academy? The imperial court will cancel his qualifications as a college student and prohibit any liberal arts or academies from accepting this scholar!"

Gao Minghong and others turned slightly pale, thinking that Liu Zicheng and Weiyuanjun had done a great job, because Weiyuanjun made excuses from the aspect of "morality", and even if Li Wenying came in person, he could not completely overturn Weiyuanjun's evaluation.

From now on, Fang Yun will have to bear the name of "a discarded student in the liberal arts academy" for the rest of his life. He will be suspected of committing treacherous and evil deeds. He will be looked down upon wherever he goes. If his mind is not firm enough, he will lose confidence and give up on himself. Not to mention reading with peace of mind.

In their view, if a noble son is expelled from the liberal arts college, he can still live a happy life. However, Fang Yun is a child from a poor family and relies on studying to get ahead. However, he was rejected by the liberal arts college and was not allowed to study in other liberal arts colleges and academies. , then this life will be over.

Without long-term guidance from a teacher, no matter how good your literary talent is, you will not be able to produce qualified classics and meanings, and you will not be able to pass the examination as a scholar, let alone a scholar.

Everyone couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts, especially the poor boys and scholars, who were afraid of being angered by the Lord of Weiyuan. The chance of passing the examination was very small. If they were kicked out of the liberal arts academy, it would be almost impossible to pass the examination.

Expulsion from the liberal arts academy is fatal to anyone.

Fang Yun is different, he has a wonderful world of books!

Fang Yun couldn't help laughing and looked at Liu Zicheng: "Brother Liu, is this your method? This method may be useful to others, but in my opinion it's not worth mentioning! I know that you have back-ups one after another. , this is just the beginning, but do you think I will let you take action easily!"

Liu Zicheng smiled slightly and said: "Fang Yun, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? It's obviously the Lord of the Academy who thinks you are not qualified to be in the Wen Academy. What does it have to do with me? Alas, you are indeed what the outside world says, young man Arrogant and disrespectful. Lord Yuan, Fang Yun and I have met several times before. Although he is despicable and greedy, he is still my former friend. Can you let him go?"

"This man is a treacherous and evil person. Even if you recommend him, we can't keep him here. Come on, drive him away!"

Six or seven officers came over, but Fang Yun took a deep breath and said: "Wait a minute, you seem to have forgotten one thing! This liberal arts academy is not the liberal arts academy of Yuanjun, or even Jingguo's liberal arts academy, but The liberal arts academy of Confucius is the liberal arts academy of all saints! Everyone with a literary degree can do one thing!”

"Fang Yun, don't do anything stupid!" Gao Minghong persuaded loudly.

"Master, you must not!" Tan Yu hurriedly stopped him.

Everyone stared at Fang Yun with wide eyes and looked at Fang Yun in disbelief. Everyone guessed what Fang Yun was going to do.

Fang Yun faced the direction of the holy temple and bent down to bow.

"Fang Yun, a student from Ji County, please be chosen by the Holy Spirit!"
