The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1806 Accidents one after another

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the human race suddenly had two large-scale literary competition battlefields.

The first literary competition battlefield was Qingjing. Tens of thousands of scholars and military lords arrived first and started various literary meetings, literary competitions or literary battles, but they were all measured and no literary battles involving life and death were carried out.

The second Wenbi battlefield, which many people never expected, was Baling City.

The temporary sea eye has long since disappeared, and only a handful of scholars returned to other countries immediately. Most of the scholars still stayed in Baling City, climbed the Yueyang Tower, visited Dongting Lake, and prepared to go to Qingjing with Fang Yun in a few days to see the military affairs of the Qing Kingdom. A decisive battle in the reading and humanities competition.

People from ten countries came to Baling City this time. The Qing Kingdom had all gone, but people from other countries were still there, and there were conflicts between the countries.

Scholars from ten regions including Wu State, Qi State, Shu State, Yun State, Jia State, Yue State, Jing State, Gu State, Shen State and Kongcheng used Baling City as the battlefield to start literary competitions or literary battles.

In the morning, the scholars from Wu State went to the restaurant where the people from Qi State lived to compete in poems. As soon as they left, they encountered the trouble of the scholars from Shu State looking for people from Yun State. In the afternoon, the people from Yue State looked for bad luck from the Gu people. As a result, the people from Shu State had already arrived first, and the people from Yue State could only wait in line. …

Baling City is completely in chaos. There will be literary competitions and fights wherever people go in restaurants, teahouses, inns, flower houses, painting boats, etc.

At noon on August 17, Dong Wencong, the prefecture pastor, met Fang Yun and immediately said: "Holding the Mid-Autumn Festival in Baling City will probably be the thing you regret the most."

"I should go to Qingjing to host it." Fang Yun agreed deeply.

"When will Madam come back? The Governor's Mansion has been completely decorated and you can move in at any time."

Fang Yun said helplessly: "I originally planned to pick her up yesterday, but I didn't expect that she was also very busy in Kongcheng, and it would take several days to complete the handover."

"Is it about Women's Academy?" Dong Wencong asked.

"Well, Women's Society." Fang Yun said.

Dong Wencong's eyes moved, he thought for a few breaths, and said: "I shouldn't talk too much, but there are some things that I think need to be discussed in the long run. I believe that any sensible scholar will understand that as long as the human race is given enough time, women can also study. You can still get a degree, but it's very difficult now, because of your actions. It's too radical. I even suspect that 20% of the great scholars are absolutely opposed to you and even regard you as an enemy regarding the women's academy. The remaining 30% are also very opposed, but do not regard you as an enemy. Most of the great scholars do not oppose or support you. I am afraid there is not a single great scholar who truly supports you on this matter!”

"I know."

Seeing that Fang Yun didn't care, Dong Wencong was a little anxious and said: "In this literary conference, those conservative scholars were almost taken advantage of by the Zong Lei family. Fortunately, these people here are real scholars. Even if they oppose your construction of a women's academy, They are not adding insult to injury. If some of them are provoked by you and use despicable methods, they may be even more vulnerable than the Zonglei family, because they believe that everything is for the sake of the human race, and even if they do something irreparable, they still think it is right. The courage will not be affected in the slightest.”

"I know." Fang Yun still responded calmly.

"Master Fang, isn't this literary meeting a wake-up call? I'm not asking you to stay away from the women's academy. I just suggest that you delay your current actions and not anger those people. It doesn't hurt to let those women wait for a few hundred more years."

Fang Yun looked at Dong Wencong with clear eyes. He did not look down on people like Dong Wencong because of this. They were just bound by the limitations of the times and did not make much mistakes themselves.

"They can wait for hundreds or thousands of years, but the human race cannot wait." Fang Yun said.

"I admit that there are some regrettable geniuses among women, but overall, women still need hundreds of years of accumulation before they can significantly benefit the human race. The human race can wait." Dong Wencong said.

Fang Yun shook his head gently and said: "We don't take many things seriously now, but it often takes a few years, decades or even centuries to discover what huge mistakes we have made. What I have to do is Don’t let the human race regret it in the future, that’s all.”

Dong Wencong said helplessly: "That's all, I won't talk about this matter when I get down in the future. It doesn't matter if you are a few days late on your trip to Qingjing. The administration of civil affairs by officials in Xiangzhou is the top priority. Now a large number of Qing officials are imprisoned, and there are no officials to accept them. If you are not careful, accidents may occur. Xiangzhou is more dangerous now than when you first arrived," Dong Wencong said.

"That's true. So now Xiangzhou needs to recuperate. In a month, I will prepare to rectify the government and remove all the cancers that Qingguo has placed in Xiangzhou!" Fang Yun's tone was extremely firm.

Dong Wencong said: "There is nothing wrong with your approach. I'm just afraid... when it comes to implementation, some officials will go against your wishes."

"Leading the snake out of its hole, I just don't know what other tricks are lurking in Xiangzhou." Fang Yun said.

"In this case, I will give my full cooperation when the time comes."

While the two were talking, Fang Yun had a strange look on his face. He took a look at it with his official seal in his hand and said, "It seems that the great literary talents of Wu State and Qing State are incomparable."

"What's wrong? Mr. Wu backed down?" Dong Wencong asked.

Fang Yun said: "Dongsheng Pavilion has just sent a letter to people with bachelor's degrees and above, and is preparing to draft an initiative, requiring all countries to send a group of scholars, elites and newly promoted scholars to Liangjieshan every three months to work with the Liangjieshan sergeants. Training, getting familiar with the environment of the Two Realms Mountains, and preparing for the second Battle of the Two Realms Mountains.”

Dong Wencong said with a smile: "It seems that this time Qingguo lost its wings in Yueyang Tower and its vitality was severely damaged. Those knowledgeable people all avoided Qingjing and did not participate in the literary competition. The Zong family and Qingjun did not want Qingguo to lose too miserably, so they used After all, most of the people from Wu State who go to Qingjing are scholars, scholars and newly promoted scholars. I don’t think the scholars of Wu State will care about it.”

"No, this initiative was mentioned in the agenda of Dongsheng Pavilion a few months ago. I have seen it a long time ago. Dongsheng Pavilion was originally planning to officially announce it in the near future, but because the scholars of Wu State made a big fuss in Qingjing, , they had to take it out in advance.”

"I don't think the Qing people are afraid of the Wu people, but they are a little afraid of you. By the way... did the meeting between the Kong family and the Zong family produce any results?" Dong Wencong asked cautiously.

Fang Yun shook his head slightly and said: "I don't even know when the head of the Kong family left. I think the two half-saints will not fight each other. It will probably end with the Zong family apologizing and paying compensation."

"The head of the Kong family appeared at that time, and he should have helped you scare away the Jiao Saint." Dong Wencong said.

"Of course I understand this. I will thank you if I have the opportunity in the future."

Dong Wencong said: "That's not necessary. After all, you have helped the Kong family by exposing things in the literary world."

"One code equals one code." After Fang Yun finished speaking, he suddenly frowned.

Dong Wencong observed his words and said, "If you have something important to do, please leave and come back later."

Fang Yun held the official seal in his hand and said, "You don't have to leave. There's nothing that can't be said. You will know it soon. Something strange has happened in the Shihan Ancient Land."
