The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Weapons were erected above the palace, including ancient bronze swords, ring-headed iron knives, chariot spears, pear-shaped iron spears, auspicious Xuanhua axes, emperor's carved bows, and countless other military weapons. The sound was like the shouting of thousands of troops, and the whole court was flashing with swords and shadows.

Then, all the weapons were pointed directly at Ou Mo, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

The military officials remained calm, and the officials of the Academy of Literature had a clear conscience, but many civil servants were shocked. Blood splattered in the Golden Palace is not just talk, it has happened in all dynasties.

After Zhou Junhu became a university scholar, he was fortunate to obtain the Hundred Soldiers and Literary Office. His murderous intent was so strong that he could be compared with the original Li Wenying among the university scholars of Jingguo.

"This is a court meeting, General Zhou, please observe etiquette!" Ou Mo shouted in a low voice, and the grand atmosphere gathered in the court.

"The evil is ahead, and the military strategists are eager to fight. This is not what I want." Zhou Junhu said, slowly restraining his strength, and the weapons in the sky slowly disappeared.

Many civil officials looked annoyed. This is because civil officials hate military scholars. They are always eager to fight, impulsive, and use straight to defeat crooked. The soldiers in "Scholars can't explain the reason when they meet soldiers" refer to military scholars.

Many officials below the university scholar looked at the soldiers slowly disappearing in the sky with envy. The university scholar is a watershed. Once you become a university scholar, your power will increase again. Those below the Hanlin can't be compared with it at all.

Ao Huang was also extremely envious. Although the dragon race can call the wind and rain, attract thunder and control water, they don't have the strange power of the human race.

Fang Yun thought to himself: "I don't know what kind of literary platform I can get when I become a university scholar. If there are multiple layers, it will be a blessing."

The left prime minister Liu Shan took a breath lightly, and the sky above the hall was surging. Except for the great scholars present, everyone was pulled by the invisible force and looked at him.

"I am the prime minister of Jing State, and also an official of the human race. Ou Mo Zhuanglu, for the sake of the human race and the millions of people, can abdicate and be discussed in the court!"

After Liu Shan finished speaking, the bronze bell outside the Fengtian Palace rang softly.

"You..." A large number of officials were red-eyed, but this was the power of the left prime minister, which even the monarch could not deprive, let alone the ministers.

Liu Shan's body suddenly shook slightly, and the blood on his face faded. Before many people were happy, his skin flashed a faint jade color, and his face returned to ruddy, even better than before.

Fang Yun and the officials secretly thought it was not good, but there was nothing they could do.

Liu Shan holds the power of the prime minister, the national fortune comes from the prime minister, and the people's hearts come from the people. Liu Shan's words damaged Jing State, and the national fortune naturally reduced favor, but now many people are terrified and hate fighting with the barbarians. In order to save their lives, they are willing to join Qing State or Wu State. His words at least won the hearts of tens of millions of people, but even better than before.

Fang Yun sighed in his heart. Intellectually, the royal family of Jingguo could abdicate for the sake of millions of people, but the problem was that history proved that the people of Jingguo would be treated as second-class people.

When Xiangzhou of Jingguo was annexed by Qingguo, except for a few officials who had secretly defected to Qingguo, most of the officials of Jingguo were transferred from important yamen to idle positions, and a few officials were even monitored.

So much so that the officials of Jingguo in Xiangzhou collectively requested to move to the ancient land and never return.

Then a large number of people from Qingguo poured into Xiangzhou, while the original Xiangzhou people were restricted to various places and could not leave their hometowns at will.

After Qingguo obtained Xiangzhou, it was really for the number of imperial examinations that the state could contribute. In the first ten years after it was incorporated into Qingguo, 90% of the new students, scholars, juren and jinshi in Xiangzhou were the original Qingguo people who moved from other places.

Until now, the imperial examinations in Xiangzhou still have a strict review system to control the number of people from the original Xiangzhou participating in the imperial examinations, so that the number of new people from the original Xiangzhou who obtain literary positions each year is less than 30%.

Some people have calculated that it will take at least two hundred years for the people of Xiangzhou to receive treatment similar to that of the people of Qing.

But who will pay for the blood and tears of these two hundred years?

Fang Yun is unwilling to shed blood and tears for a hundred years.

Most people of Jing are unwilling!

They would rather bleed standing than kneel down and shed blood and tears!

What's more, there is still a glimmer of opportunity to exchange blood for the long-term survival of Jing!

Fang Yun looked at the left prime minister Liu Shan coldly.

Liu Shan can sell Jing for a good price in exchange for the opportunity to become the prime minister of Qing, a great scholar, or even a saint, but tens of millions of people of Jing will be buried with him.

The most terrifying thing is that even if Qing and Wu divide Jing, once the barbarians insist on going south, the people of Jing will inevitably be sent to the army in large numbers to serve as scapegoats.

Fang Yun sees through it, many soldiers see through it, and the left prime minister Liu Shan sees through it, but a large number of people of Jing don't understand it.

They only knew that if they went to the wealthy Qing or Wu, their lives would be better and they would have smooth sailing in the imperial examinations.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that the number of places for the imperial examinations was fixed, the land was fixed, and all the resources needed by the human race were fixed. Once the people of Jing became Qing or Wu, except for less than one in ten thousand who were able to compete, the others would inevitably be cut off by Qing and Wu to feed the real Qing and Wu people.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that their status in Jing would remain the same in Qing and Wu, or even lower.

They were sold at a good price by Liushan.

Some people can see it, and some can't.

The sea is wide for fish to leap, and the sharks are full.

The sky is high for birds to fly, and the eagles are the ones who spread their wings.

They won't protect food.

Fang Yun's eyes were still cold, looking at other civil servants and other officers.

There were sharks and eagles among them.

Fang Yun sighed in his heart, the people of the human race were the kindest, as long as they were full and not starving to death, they would live quietly.

But don't put the knife to their necks!

While Fang Yun was distracted and thinking, the war faction and the abdication faction had a fierce debate.

At first, only one person from each side took turns to speak, and then two people spoke together, each answering the other's previous sentence with the current sentence, and listening to the other's current sentence at the same time.

The court officials were not surprised, but as they talked, more people joined in and argued at the same time.

One pair, two pairs, three pairs, four pairs, five pairs...

When the fifth pair of officials joined the debate, the newly promoted Jinshi finally couldn't listen to all of them, so they could only choose four pairs to listen carefully.

When the seventh pair of officials joined the debate, the old Jinshi chose six pairs to listen.

When the tenth pair of officials started to argue, no more officials joined, because this was the limit of the Hanlin Academy.

Fang Yun and Ao Huang were calm from beginning to end. For this man and dragon, listening to twenty people arguing at the same time was nothing.

Fang Yun even heard the queen mother sigh softly behind the gauze curtain.

This is the world of scholars. It's not that scholars or literary status are not high enough, and they can't even understand what others are arguing about.

This is also the reason why few people below the Jinshi can participate in the court meeting.

Literary position is ability.

Fang Yun wanted to speak, but he shut up when he remembered the advice of Jiang Hechuan, the Minister of Literature. He had been baptized by the history of the ancient Chinese country and read books crazily every day. He could read as much as others in a hundred years, but he had no experience in court disputes. Now he should study with peace of mind instead of being self-righteous just after some achievements.

Fang Yun's heart moved, and a blank book appeared in the world of strange books, and then four words appeared on the book.

The Grand Court Meeting.

Then, the Grand Court Meeting was separated into the first volume, and it quickly recorded from the first words of Tong Luan in this court meeting. In the blink of an eye, he recorded what everyone said before, and continued to record the current court meeting content at a very fast speed.
