The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1810 Bring to justice

Dong Wencong said with envy: "Can you tell me about the process of recalling memories? This ability can only be mastered by at least a great scholar. I have only heard about it and don't know the details."

The others looked at Fang Yun curiously, wanting to know what was so strange about this ability.

Fang Yun smiled and said nothing.

Just now, Fang Yun used the ability to recall memories, closed his eyes, and seemed to go back several hours ago.

In the memory world, it was past seven o'clock in the morning. The sun was shining on the earth in the east. Fang Yun was in front of the holy temple, with many officials standing on both sides. He was facing the gate of the Academy of Literature. There were many government officials outside the gate, one for every four officials. In front of each team, there is a long queue of scholars.

However, time stood still and the heaven and earth solidified.

Fang Yun was slowly rising. Everything he could see at that time was no different from the normal world. But those places that Fang Yun couldn't see at that time, such as the places blocked by the walls of the liberal arts college, were completely dark.

Fang Yun blinked and saw everyone starting to move, and everything happened again.

Fang Yun is a bachelor. There are no blind spots up and down, left, right, and front. He can see the whole scene, but he cannot see the students who are blocked.

After a few breaths, Fang Yun, who was remembering the world, closed his eyes, and the range of perception suddenly expanded. Those people who were originally invisible in the darkness formed light and shadow in Fang Yun's mind. Their images were all consistent, because Fang Yun They couldn't be seen, but Fang Yun could hear the voices of hundreds of thousands of people outside the Academy.

Then, Fang Yun took a step forward and appeared in front of the few guards in the memory world.

Then, Fang Yun moved his fingers, as if he were playing something, and saw that the world of memory suddenly began to speed up, and countless noisy sounds entered Fang Yun's ears. The torrent of information formed by so many sounds could make ordinary people unconscious in an instant.

Fang Yun just frowned, then narrowed his hearing range and only listened to the sounds within ten feet of him.

The world of memory continued to speed up. After a while, Fang Yun moved his finger and the speed returned to normal. Fang Yun heard that the steward found something wrong with the card test and politely persuaded the candidates to leave.

Not long after, Fang Yun heard the two people who were forced to leave yelling at a man named "Zhuang Li".

The next moment he heard this name, Fang Yun's mind recalled the information of all the candidates this year and knew who Zhuang Li was.

It only takes a few dozen breaths to recall the memory, but it consumes one-tenth of Fang Yun's talent, which is equivalent to using the Grand Scholar's War Poetry hundreds of times.

This is the first time Fang Yun has tried retrospective memory, and it feels great. No wonder the Gong family highly admires this power. With retrospective memory, the Gong family will develop at an extremely terrifying speed. The only pity is that only great scholars can possess this power. If it can be popularized, Gongjia will become a behemoth that scares all the world.

Seeing that Fang Yun was silent, Dong Wencong changed the topic and said, "Sir, you seem to be very concerned about this matter?"

Fang Yun said: "The imperial examination is not the most perfect talent selection system, but it is definitely the best talent selection system today; the imperial examination is not an absolutely fair talent selection system, but it is definitely the most fair talent selection system. If the children of ordinary families If you want to obtain a higher status, the imperial examination is the only and best choice. Any behavior that may harm the imperial examination will be reflected on the entire human race, and everyone will bear the consequences. Therefore, any problems that occur in the imperial examination cannot be taken lightly."

All the scholars present had solemn expressions, and Fang Yun expressed their feelings. Although the imperial examination had its shortcomings, at least so far, there was no way that any system could replace it.

Some people from wealthy families have been advocating that officialdom systems such as "promoting filial piety and integrity" should be integrated into the imperial examination, allowing people with high literary positions to recommend a candidate to pass the exam directly, or allowing people with high literary positions to identify outstanding candidates to judge in the exam. Waiting for it to be improved, but it was opposed by all the poor people and has never been implemented.

A great scholar once said that when someone can interfere with a candidate's imperial examination evaluation, it will be the beginning of the demise of the human race.

Dong Wencong nodded and said: "My lord, that's what you said. Since it happened in Xiangzhou, the state pastor of Xianguan cannot escape the blame. He will definitely deal with it impartially, not letting evil people escape and not letting good people be wronged."

Fang Yun smiled slightly and continued eating.

The officers in the distance sighed inwardly, no wonder Dong Wencong became the state shepherd. They first saw that Fang Yun cared about this matter, and although Fang Yun did not give clear instructions on how to punish him, Dong Wencong knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and immediately expressed his impartiality. Dealing with it is actually to figure out Fang Yun's thoughts and deal with it sternly.

Jiang Zhengming, the judicial officer on the side, echoed: "This incident happens occasionally. Kongcheng in Ludi has always dealt with it strictly. If this happens, his title will be taken away and he will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination in his life. This kind of incident also happened in the Qing Dynasty. , but most of the big things are trivialized, and the exams are banned for several years without any pain. It shows how corrupt the officialdom of Qing Dynasty is, how incompetent and ignorant the bureaucrats are. I, Xiangzhou, should be close to Kongcheng and far away from Qing Dynasty. "

Cai Yuan, Director of the Supervision Department and Chancellor of the Supervisory Yuan, stood up and said: "Your Majesty Governor, since you already know who changed the exam cards, your subordinates should immediately join forces with the Criminal Division to arrest him and bring him to justice for interrogation."

Fang Yun said: "There is no need to bother you with such a small matter. It will not be too late to handle it according to law after the examination results are released. This person is relatively well-known in Taihe Mansion. He is a child of a famous family and is very likely to win the election."

After Fang Yun finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized that it was indeed best to deal with it after the person passed the imperial examination. If the person was wronged, it would not affect the imperial examination results. If the person maliciously replaced the examination card of others, arresting him after he passed the imperial examination would cause much greater punishment than arresting him now.

Several officials from Jiangzhou sighed lightly, not for the man, but for Fang Yun. Fang Yun also suffered unfair treatment before the imperial examination, and was even embarrassed by the left prime minister party during the imperial examination. Fortunately, Fang Yun was able to overcome the difficulties, otherwise it would be the biggest loss for the human race.

During the three days of the imperial examination, the entire Shengyuan Continent became particularly peaceful. No one dared to make trouble at this time. Any potential hidden dangers would be extinguished by officials from all over the country with absolute power.

After three days, the candidates submitted their examination papers and left the Academy one after another.

After receiving the test papers, Fang Yun did not leave to enter the examination room, but held the official seal and looked outside the Wenyuan from a high altitude. Sure enough, the two victims came to Zhuang Li, and the two sides tore and entangled, but Zhuang Li was the son of a famous family, while the two men were just from a poor family, and there was no evidence, so they were driven away and beaten by the Zhuang family.

Fang Yun snorted coldly and turned to enter the examination room.

The next day, the examination was over, and the Wenyuan announced the results. There was a surging crowd at the entrance of the Wenyuan in Baling City.

Fang Yun looked at the crowd below quietly from a high altitude through the official seal, saw the tears of joy of the high-ranking candidates, and saw the undeterred faces of the undefeated candidates, and smiled.

"I passed! I am a juren!" Zhuang Li shouted while surrounded by his family, and Zhuang Li's parents cried with joy.

The two people whose test cards were replaced stood in the distance, one cursing in a low voice, and the other in tears. Suddenly, the two people were stunned.

A group of yamen runners rushed to Zhuang Li like wolves and tigers, arrested him on the grounds that Zhuang Li was suspected of stealing someone else's exam card, and took him to the yamen.

The two people whose exam cards were replaced laughed heartily.
