The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1717 Go to Baling! Go to Yueyang Tower!

Most of the time, Fang Yun read the letters with a smile. There are four people who sent him letters most frequently.

"Son" Zhang Jingan, the new king of Chu, the prime minister of Qin, Zhu Fengqiong, and Lei Tingzhen, a great scholar of the Lei family.

Zhang Jingan must send a letter every five days. The content of the letter is very similar. It is nothing more than talking about his own experience and reading experience, and then asking Fang Yun about some things or reading methods.

The new king of Chu sent a letter every day, without fail, reporting to Fang Yun everything that happened in Chu that day. The attitude of the new king of Chu in the letter was humble, even in the days when Fang Yun was accused by the Lei family, there was no change.

As for Zhu Fengqiong, the prime minister and university scholar, he was almost mad. He clearly agreed to join forces with the Zong and Lei families to fight against Fang Yun, but the letter was like a drop in the ocean, and he never got a reply. The recent letter was full of scolding.

The letter just now was relatively polite and lowered its posture. It hoped that "Zhang Longxiang" could participate in this Mid-Autumn Festival Literature Festival. However, it asked "Zhang Longxiang" to put forward conditions. Since Fang Yun decided the time and place, Zhang Longxiang should decide the way of the literary competition. The winner must be determined by creating military frontier poems.

Lei Tingzhen is indeed a great scholar. Even after Lei Chongmo's death, even if Fang Yun did not reply from beginning to end, he did not lose his composure. There was just a little threat between the lines, knocking "Zhang Longxiang".

Lei Tingzhen's latest letter was similar to Zhu Fengqiong's, asking "Zhang Longxiang" to agree to the literary competition, but he had to put forward conditions, otherwise he would never agree.

Fang Yun only replied to Lei Tingzhen with sixteen words.

"Fulfill as promised. From now on, we will be on different sides of the world and owe nothing to each other."

After a few breaths, Fang Yun published an article on the discussion list of Shengyuan Continent as Zhang Longxiang.

The article begins by saying that Zhang Longxiang can go to the Mid-Autumn Festival in Yueyang Tower, but he must decide the topic of the essay contest by himself, otherwise, he will never participate and will go all out to compete for the position of the top four talents.

The first time "Zhang Longxiang" published an article on the Shengyuan Continent Discussion List, countless replies immediately poured out below the article. Most people talked about his poems, and some people discussed his contributions in Liangjie Mountain. Only a small number of people asked Zhang Longxiang to control his admirers and let them compare him with Fang Yun less.

There are also some people who firmly support Fang Yun and fight back against those who attack Fang Yun under the article.

So, those who support Fang Yun and those who support Zhang Longxiang started a melee under the article.

After half an hour, the melee stopped abruptly.

Fang Yun himself replied under the article with only one word.

"Yes."

A word is worth a thousand gold.

Then, "Zhang Longxiang" replied to Fang Yun.

"See you on August 15th, Yueyang Tower."

The blood of scholars all over the world is boiling.

"Go to Baling! Go to Yueyang Tower!" An ordinary Jinshi wrote an article to shout.

This ordinary article has a great appeal. Many scholars racked their brains and tried every means to go to Yueyang Tower.

Only a few people sighed in despair and wrote articles saying that Fang Yun had done everything to make Yueyang Tower surpass Yellow Crane Tower, even if his literary reputation was tarnished. However, no one believed this, and the article was soon drowned in the discussion list.

On the night of August 12, the Kong family suddenly issued a statement that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Literary Meeting in Kongcheng will be merged with the Literary Meeting in Yueyang Tower. The Kong family will use the Confucius Literary Circle to move all participants in the Mid-Autumn Festival Literary Meeting to Xun County, Fengzhou, which is very close to Xiangzhou, on August 14 and 15. At that time, the Xunzi family will arrange carriages and horses to send people to Baling City. However, the number of places is limited, and only 100,000 people can be transported.

The scholars in Kongcheng were extremely excited and praised the Confucius family.

The scholars of other countries of the human race were dissatisfied, and they all asked the Holy Academy and the Saints of their own countries to learn from the Confucius family and use the literary world to transfer scholars to Baling.

Soon, some children of the family had to come out to explain that the gap between the Saints and the Confucius family was too big, and the consumption of using the Confucius literary world to transfer scholars could be made up quickly, but each person transferred by the other families, if converted into silver, was equivalent to about 10,000 taels of silver, which could buy a luxurious mansion in any city except the capital of each country.

Fortunately, the scholars of various countries were just making a fuss and did not really want to force the Saints to use the literary world to transfer scholars, so the situation soon calmed down.

Afterwards, there were interesting stories everywhere on the discussion list. Some scholars rented multi-headed dragon horses and prepared to rush to Baling City with all their strength, traveling day and night, hoping to arrive at Yueyang Tower in the evening of August 15.

The Kong family also sent letters to some officials in Baling City, hoping that the Baling City government and the Kong family would jointly host this unique Mid-Autumn Festival. The Baling government had no experience and was eager to join forces with Kongcheng, so they readily agreed.

Although many scholars were destined not to go to Baling City, this did not affect their enthusiasm for the Yueyang Tower Literary Meeting, so they still stayed on the discussion board, chatting and discussing things about the Yueyang Tower Literary Meeting.

Near dusk, a heavy news appeared on the discussion board. The King of Qing posted a message on the discussion board, saying that he would visit Yueyang Tower on August 15!

Before, the scholars simply wanted to see Fang Yun and Zhang Longxiang's literary competition. Now that they saw that King Qing was going to go there in person, it was almost foreseeable that the Yueyang Tower Literary Meeting would be a bloody storm!

Under King Qing's article, many scholars expressed their opinions.

"Support King Qing!"

"The Qing Kingdom is mighty!"

"Sorry, we Jing people do not welcome King Qing. This incompetent king should not tarnish the land of my Jing country again."

"The king of a country has no respect for forcing himself to intervene. I think this Yueyang Tower Literary Conference is not simple."

"I have heard a rumor for a long time that Qing State has always wanted to make trouble for Fang Xusheng. If Fang Xusheng loses to Zhang Longxiang at the Yueyang Tower Literary Conference, Qing Jun will definitely add insult to injury."

"Without a 90% chance of defeating Fang Xusheng, Qing Jun will never come out in person. There must be something fishy about this matter. After seeing my reply, Fang Xusheng's relatives and friends, please tell Fang Xusheng that Qing Jun will probably use insidious means to obstruct Fang Xusheng and help Zhang Longxiang!"

"I smell a faint smell of blood..."

"Zong Ganyu, the head of the Zong family and the chief elder of the Dongsheng Pavilion, just stated that he also I will personally go to the Yueyang Tower Literary Meeting!"

"Chen Mingding, the head of the Chen family, also announced that he would go and expressed his support for Fang Xusheng."

"How dare the Chen family go to the literary meeting? Hurry up and hand over the deserted city to the Zong family, and accept the loss of the bet! The semi-saint family is amazing, right?"

"Do you think that the family that lost the bet will collectively denounce Fang Yun at the Yueyang Tower Literary Meeting? And will the Zong family and other families who won collectively thank Fang Xusheng? If that is the case, it must be very interesting."

"I beg for a way for Yunguo to reach Baling within three days, and I am willing to spend all my family wealth!"

The scholars of the human race were stimulated by the continuous news, and the topic returned to how to reach Baling City on August 15.

That night, a piece of news made all the scholars who could not go to Baling City overjoyed.

The Four Seas Dragon Palace actually joined forces rarely to create temporary sea eyes on the edge of the ocean and some rivers and lakes on the Shengyuan Continent, and all the sea eyes led to the Yangtze River outside Baling City. Tomorrow, the Four Seas Dragon Palace will release a distribution map of the sea eye entrance. On August 15, the sea eye will be officially opened for four hours, and will be closed after the Yueyang Tower Literary Festival begins.
