The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1622 Selection Deadlock

The Holy Academy selects the Four Great Talents every ten years. If one of the four is promoted to a great scholar, the Holy Academy will consider selecting the next generation of the Four Great Talents in advance.

The selection of the four great talents of this generation began in the year 202 of the new calendar, but the leader of the four great talents was not determined for a whole year. In that year, Fang Yun entered the Ninth Mountain and entered the literary world.

In the year 202 of the new calendar, Fang Yun spent almost all of his time in the literary world and the Two Realms Mountain, and the four great talents of that year were still not officially determined.

Now it is the year 203 of the new calendar, and the Holy Academy still has not determined the leader of the four great talents.

There are many meeting halls in the Holy Academy. These halls are not built by real objects, but are built by the Holy Temple with talent. Only qualified people can enter.

Every time the four great talents are selected, a temporary "Selection Academy" will appear, which means selecting talents.

The Selection Academy is composed of nine great scholars and thirty-one university scholars.

The first step in selecting the four great talents is for thirty-one university scholars to nominate, and then select four people to be determined as the four great talents.

The next step is for the nine great scholars of the Holy Academy to rank the four great talents and select one of them as the leader of the four great talents, to be trained as a leader of the human race and to be remembered for eternity.

The leader of the four great talents of the previous generation was Shi Jun Lu Huaijiang, who was a modest gentleman, and was a role model in both character and historical knowledge. After the four great talents were selected that year, the other three gathered together and elected Shi Jun as the leader of the four great talents without any dispute.

The four great talents before that were headed by Yi Zhishi. At that time, someone commented that Yi Zhishi was "literary overwhelmed three generations". No one in his previous generation, his contemporaries, and his next generation could compare with him. He deserved to be the leader of the four great talents. Now Yi Zhishi has been promoted to a literary giant, the first person under the saints of the human race, proving that the selection of that year was extremely correct.

But the selection of the four great talents of the new generation has been in a deadlock.

There is no problem with the selection of the four great talents of the new generation, but the ranking has become the top problem.

The ranking of the four great talents requires the unanimous approval of the nine great scholars. If any great scholar disagrees, the ranking cannot be completed.

In the past, when the "Selection Academy" ranked the four great talents, although there were conflicts or stalemates, they would be resolved within a year, so that the candidates of the four great talents could be released as soon as possible to inspire the human race.

However, the selection time of the four great talents of this generation has passed for two years, and it has not been determined so far. There is a trend of developing to three years or even longer.

In the past two years, the hottest topic is undoubtedly the expansion of the imperial examination, and the topics of Fang Yun and Zhang Longxiang have also been popular for a long time. The third evergreen topic is the ranking of the four great talents.

Since the year before last, as long as the ranking of the four great talents is mentioned, the discussion list immediately turns into a battlefield, and scholars from all over the country use words as swords to fight. Some scholars will insult or even curse each other because of excitement, resulting in being banned from the discussion list for several days or even years.

Among the four great talents of this generation, the first one is Lei Chongmo of the Lei family, who became famous for creating Jiaolong Wentai, and even saved the Lei family from being severely punished by the Holy Academy.

The second one is Yang Xuanye, the Grand Secretary of Gu State. Gu State is weaker than Jing State and is the only country of the human race that pays tribute to the barbarians. However, in such a harsh environment, Yang Xuanye has always advocated war, and he has become more and more courageous and has made outstanding military achievements.

The third one is Huang Zhen, who has studied the holy way of the legalists in depth, and is particularly proficient in the power of drawing a prison on the ground. When he was in Liangjie Mountain, his code of law actually flew out of the Shu Kingdom's Tianlao National Prison and imprisoned twelve demon kings.

The fourth one is Xiao Yetian, who is not famous in the Holy Academy Continent, but is very famous in the Shihan Ancient Land. He can be called the first Grand Secretary of the Shihan Ancient Land in recent years. It is rumored that he has mastered the power of an ancient demon saint "Han Di" because of his good luck. When the war poems come out, the coldness descends from the sky. He once killed five ordinary barbarian kings by himself. Some even say that Xiao Yetian will always be the first in the Shihan Ancient Land.

The "king names" of the four people have also been decided. Lei Chongmo is named "Jiao King", Yang Xuanye is named "War King", Huang Zhen is called "Prison King", and Xiao Yetian is named "Ice King".

Currently, there are six people in the "Selecting Talents Academy" who support Lei Chongmo as the leader of the four talents, one person each supports Huang Zhen and Xiao Yetian, and two people support Yang Xuanye.

In the past two years, every few days, the "Selecting Talents Academy" will hold a meeting of great scholars, and the nine great scholars will inevitably argue.

When Fang Yun entered the Sea Eye, the great scholars of the Selecting Talents Academy argued on time like students in class.

"Everyone, this is already the third year! If we can't choose the four great talents, when one of them is promoted to a great scholar, we have to re-elect the new generation of the four great talents. It's not only unfair to Lei Chongmo, but also to the other great scholars."

"We can't delay any longer. If we can't choose the new leader of the four great talents within a month, I will ask for the Holy Judgement as a great scholar of the Selecting Academy."

"I think it's better to ask for the Holy Judgement early. This matter should be decided by the East Saint Pavilion. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely choose Lei Chongmo as the leader of the next generation of the four great talents."

"Absurd! What virtue and ability does Lei Chongmo have? He just relies on the protection of the Lei family and the West Sea Dragon Clan. Although the Jiaolong Wentai is strong, it is an alien after all. This Wentai alone is not worthy of being the leader of the four great talents."

"How can I let you ask for the Holy Judgement? Before that, I will definitely find ways to re-elect the four great talents. You should know that in the past two years, many geniuses have risen in the human race. For example, Zhang Longxiang and Wei Huangan are both outstanding in the human race."

"Don't forget Fang Xusheng! Fang Xusheng was just promoted to Grand Secretary a few days ago. As long as the four talents are re-elected, the first place will have nothing to do with Lei Chongmo."

"The four talents must not be re-elected!" Lei Tingzhen was furious.

"If you don't re-elect, then I will choose Yang Xuanye. Although Yang Xuanye is not as strong as Lei Chongmo's family, he has been fighting against monsters and barbarians, externally but not internally, and even went to Ning'an City to help. If it weren't for the fact that there were too few generals in Guguo, he would have gone to Liangjie Mountain long ago, and the limelight of the Bi Can battle would not have been snatched away by a literary person!"

"Yang Xuanye is not bad, unlike Lei Chongmo, who is so mean and cunning that he even wants to assassinate Xusheng."

Lei Tingzhen couldn't help but say: "I reiterate that the head of the family, Lei Chongmo, did not participate in the assassination of Fang Yun."

"Oh? Then did you and other Lei family members participate? "

"Zheyingyuan only talks about the four great talents, not others!"

"The four great talents are most important for character and literary reputation. Lei Chongmo's literary reputation is mixed, and his character is also very poor. How can he be the leader of the four great talents! "

"I am afraid that after Fengcheng is extinct, the Lei family will also have a rebellious four great talents."

Lei Tingzhen said angrily: "Nonsense, nonsense! When Chongmo returns, if the four great talents have not been decided, I will ask the Holy Judge!"

...

Zheyingyuan fell into daily disputes.

In the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, Fang Yun stepped into the sea eye, and then the sky and the earth turned, and he found himself in a huge black palace that was a hundred feet high. The style of the hall was similar to the Sin Palace in the Blood Mang Realm, but it was more rugged, and every stone seemed to contain a strong fighting spirit.
