The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Yun read the letters for a long time, replied to the important ones one by one, and didn't go to bed until late at night.

The next morning, Fang Yun had breakfast and played for half an hour, just as if he was giving himself a long vacation.

After that, Fang Yun entered the literary battlefield of the academy, practiced war poems and verbal battles, and pondered the way of fighting. After only one-third of his talent was left, he walked towards home.

Along the way, all passers-by bowed and greeted, most of them called "Fang Xusheng".

Many people even bowed.

Nearing the door of his house, Fang Yun frowned. There was a lot of traffic in front of his house. A large number of people were standing at the door, queuing up to send invitations or visiting cards, a full hundred people.

Fang Yun had no choice but to use the power of the military book "Hide the Sky and Cross the Sea" to cover his appearance and squeeze into the door.

The people in the queue were furious and kept cursing.

Fang Daniu's eyes widened with anger, and just as he was about to scold, Fang Yun whispered, "It's me!"

"Oh? Oh! Please come in, the master is waiting for you in the study." Fang Daniu said, and cautiously took Fang Yun to the study, and then winked at Ao Huang behind him.

Ao Huang rolled his eyes at Fang Daniu and said, "Idiot!" Then he continued to play with Nunu and Yan Gui.

Nunu recognized Fang Yun, ignored Ao Huang, and threw herself into Fang Yun's arms to act like a spoiled child.

"A conscienceless little white-eyed fox!" Ao Huang whispered.

Fang Yun scolded, "Go back to study, you are not here to play, today write three poems, a classics, and a policy paper on Dinghai and Anjiang."

Ao Huang almost exploded, saying, "Are you crazy! Let me write a policy paper on Dinghai? Why don't you let me write a dragon-slaying technique?"

"Is there a dragon-slaying technique? Then leave it for tomorrow." Fang Yun said.

"You... I will write the Dinghai Policy..." Ao Huang went back to his room in shame.

Nunu held her belly and laughed, and even Yangui, who insisted on escaping, grinned, looking very relieved.

At this time, three women came out.

Yang Yuhuan, Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Hongzhuang stood at the door of Yang Yuhuan's room.

Su Xiaoxiao knelt and saluted, saying: "Hello, Master."

Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly, and Zhao Hongzhuang's eyes turned red but then suppressed.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Mr. Fang is still as elegant as ever." Zhao Hongzhuang smiled.

"Mr. Zhao has become effeminate." Fang Yun said half-jokingly.

"Stop talking nonsense. The results will be announced at noon, and we are waiting for your good news."

After chatting for half a quarter of an hour, Fang Yun put Nunu down and returned to the study.

Fang Yun continued to study as usual.

Without the imperial examination, poetry, classics and policy essays should not only not be given up, but should be studied more deeply.

If you want to be an official, you must write a good policy paper, because the policy paper involves all aspects. Every year, officials from all regions must write a policy paper to be evaluated by the six ministries or the cabinet, which is included in the official evaluation.

If you are only pursuing a literary position, then you should focus on the classics, because the classics involve the holy way.

Take Fang Yun's "Abolition of the System of Burial with the Dead" as an example. If you don't mention "evil rituals" at all, it will be inferior, because rituals are one of the holy ways, and the system of burial with the dead is not. If you specifically explain in the classics how to solve the system of burial with the dead, it will deviate from the classics.

How to deal with it specifically is the scope of the policy paper.

The holy way can be transformed into a powerful force. It may not have the killing power like war poems, but it has various wonderful uses. On the day when Confucius entered the demon world, he casually threw out the holy book "Zhou Li". All the demons and barbarians below the half-saints were pressed to half kneel on the ground by the great gift of the holy way, because Confucius stole the "ritual" of the demon world, and the demon world stipulated that the half-saints could not attack the great saints. Confucius, as a sub-saint, had the same status as the great saint, so all the half-saints could not take the initiative to attack him.

This is why the demons and barbarians respect and fear Confucius so far. Confucius has long stopped "playing with his brain" and has directly "played with the rules".

The palace examination focuses on real talent and the ability to govern a place. Fang Yun naturally has to focus on policy essays, but Fang Yun's goal is a higher literary position. He is not too nostalgic for secular power and should focus more on the classics.

Fang Yun had no choice but to split the study time between the two.

Fang Yun studied for two quarters of an hour, and the official seal suddenly vibrated violently, indicating an urgent letter.

Fang Yun held the official seal and found that it was a letter from Zeng Yuan.

"The head of the Meng family entered the ancient land of the deserted city last night and died in a fierce battle with the monsters. Zong Ji of the Zong family and Sima He of the Sima family went to help and died together. The new head of the Meng family will take over and put an end to the enemies of your family."

Fang Yun read it twice and finally confirmed that this was the explanation given to him by the saints.

After all, the human race is not as direct as the monsters. For Fang Yun, the relevant people must be severely punished, but they must not be charged with real crimes, so let the people who deserve to die on the battlefield, which is considered to have contributed to the human race and given them the punishment they deserve.

It is not uncommon for people from the aristocratic families to die suddenly in battle. Zeng Yuan obviously guessed the cause and effect.

Fang Yun is more satisfied with this way of handling it. This way, it can deter some people with bad intentions, and at the same time, it will not leave him with a stigma of revenge and harshness and bloodthirstiness.

As for those who can't see that the three people were forced to death by Fang Yun, they are not qualified to embarrass Fang Yun and don't need to be deterred at all.

Fang Yun was only in jail for a few days, but the three great families lost two top scholars and a family head, and lost everything from the inside to the face. Instead, they became the chicken that was killed, and the other "monkeys" gave up targeting Fang Yun.

"I know, I will send a letter of condolences."

Fang Yun replied to the letter and continued to study. He went out to eat at lunch time. After lunch, he took Zhao Hongzhuang's carriage to the Temple Square to wait for the announcement of the results.

Soon after, Fang Yun arrived near the square in a carriage. He opened the curtain and saw that there were nearly 100,000 people crowded together. After thinking about it, he decided not to go down.

The carriage used by Zhao Hongzhuang was very large. Not only could it accommodate Fang Yun, Yang Yuhuan, Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Hongzhuang, but even the ten-foot-long Ao Huang could fit in the carriage.

Just after noon, a huge translucent light curtain appeared above the holy temple.

All the examiners walked out of the examination room and stood in front of the gate of the holy temple.

The great scholars Jiang Hechuan and Tang Shoude looked at the crowd quietly. The voices of the crowd became smaller and smaller, and finally there was silence.

Jiang Hechuan nodded and said, "Announce the results!"

Yang Yuhuan, Zhao Hongzhuang and Su Xiaoxiao knew that Fang Yun was sure to win the first place, but they still looked at the huge list of Jinshi scholars excitedly.

At the beginning of the Jinshi list, the four words "name", "poem", "classic meaning" and "strategy" appeared together.

Then, under the name, the two characters "Fang Yun" appeared in golden light.

Then, under the poems, classics and policy papers, a golden character "A" appeared.

The golden characters on the list, the holy pen's evaluation!

The whole city cheered.

After Fang Yun's results were announced, a large area of ​​black characters suddenly appeared on the screen. The two hundred and ninety-nine new Jinshi appeared at the same time, which was far different from Fang Yun's treatment.

However, before they could feel regret or joy, three rainbows came from the Holy Court and took away the original texts of "Fu of Afang Palace" and other three articles.

Fang Yun was originally happy, but he couldn't laugh after hearing what Minister Jiang Hechuan said.

"Today at the Xuemei meeting, you must write a poem about plum blossoms! It must be better than the farewell poem for Li Wenying!"
