The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2090 The Mystery of Yi and Li

After Fang Yun received Jiang Hechuan's letter, he flew out of the capital and never received another letter before arriving at the next city.

Fang Yun wanted to go back and ask what was going on, but after thinking for a moment, he continued to fly to Xiangzhou. However, he sat on Pingbu Qingyun, closed his eyes, and his talent surged.

He recalled his memories and searched for all the memories related to Li Wenying and Jiang Hechuan in the past.

Whether it was the discussion list or the conversation, all the content that Fang Yun had not paid special attention to before came to the surface of his memory.

Fang Yun read ten lines at a glance and would never miss anything when reading, but it was not necessarily the case when browsing the discussion list. He would often ignore some discussions for the content that he paid special attention to. As for places such as literary gatherings, it was even more so, and it was impossible for him to remember all the conversations of everyone.

However, as long as it happened within the range of sight and hearing, Fang Yun could find it again even if he had not remembered it before.

After half an hour, Fang Yun opened his eyes and found some information related to Li Wenying and Yi Zhishi.

There were two replies on the discussion list and three replies on the literary gathering. For Fang Yun at that time, it was like a passing glance, and he did not pay attention to it. But now it is like that day again, and he recalls all the information.

However, there are currently two theories.

One theory is that in order to suppress Jing State, Wu State used some means to forcibly exclude Li Wenying, the only possible candidate from Jing State, when selecting the four talents. Because the selection of the four talents was conducted by a group of people, several of the selectors contacted Yi Zhishi, who could definitely become the leader of the four talents, and wanted to ask Yi Zhishi's attitude, after all, Yi Zhishi was already in the limelight at that time.

As a result, Yi Zhishi remained silent, so Li Wenying was not selected as one of the four talents. Moreover, it is said that Qing State also intervened.

The second theory is that Yi Zhishi once criticized Li Wenying in private, saying that he did not study the classics, did not value articles, and paid too much attention to killing. After this matter was heard by the selectors, Li Wenying failed to be selected as one of the four talents.

Fang Yun thought about Jiang Hechuan's words again. It was obvious that Jiang Hechuan didn't know the inside story of the year, and didn't want to say something serious to slander Yi Zhishi, but he cared about his safety and was afraid that he would be plotted against by Yi Zhishi in the Burial Valley, so he said such words.

If this matter spread, it would be a small stain on Jiang Hechuan.

Fang Yun thought about it and felt that Yi Zhishi's private criticism of Li Wenying should be a fabrication. Yi Zhishi's cultivation was comparable to that of a great scholar, and he would never criticize Li Wenying. After all, Li Wenying's killing was only against monsters and barbarians, not against the human race.

However, when it comes to Wuguo and Qingguo joining forces to suppress Jingguo, it is highly credible. The Zong family and Liushan have been planning for many years, and it is inevitable to contain Jingguo and Li Wenying. The previous king of Wuguo was also extraordinary, and he would definitely do such a thing for the interests of his own country.

As for Yi Zhishi's attitude, it is difficult to judge.

Fang Yun thought for a long time, but he didn't make a decision about Yi Zhishi, but he was more inclined to believe that Yi Zhishi knew about this but chose to stand aside and watch.

Fang Yun didn't judge whether Yi Zhishi's choice was right or wrong, but he could be sure that if Yi Zhishi, a literary giant, did this now, it would be wrong.

After getting close to the Yangtze River, Fang Yun's rise to fame became faster and faster. After being a hundred miles away from the Yangtze River, Fang Yun's rise to fame was twice as fast as usual!

The Yangtze River Basin is Fang Yun's world. Fang Yun can drive the rivers to do anything in a moment.

In the Yangtze River Basin, all of Fang Yun's abilities will be enhanced, at least doubled!

If Fang Yun uses a water-related war poem in the Yangtze River Basin, the power will be directly increased by one realm!

This is also the reason why Jiao Sheng dared to suppress Fang Yun at that time. If the head of the Kong family had not gone north from Kongcheng, the power left by Li Daoyuan might not be the opponent of Jiao Sheng.

Arriving at the Yangtze River Basin, Fang Yun's mind was active. Even though he was about to reach the Governor's Mansion, he did not waste time. He immediately multitasked and distracted himself to study. The effect was several times that of usual days, which was gratifying.

Returning to the Governor's Mansion, Fang Yun first reminisced with Yang Yuhuan and his family. He did not care about any political affairs, but just chatted. However, during the leisure time of chatting, Fang Yun notified all officials of the eighth rank or above in Xiangzhou to go to the Academy of Literature tomorrow. Afterwards, Xiangzhou Mu Dong Wencong, as the governor of the state, invited all scholars of Juren or higher literary rank in Xiangzhou to prepare to hold a literary meeting related to Fang Yun, which was actually to consolidate Fang Yun's position.

Afterwards, Su Xiaoxiao left with Nunu in her arms as usual.

No words were spoken all night.

Early the next morning, Fang Yun left the back house of the Governor's Mansion with a refreshed spirit and went to the Academy of Literature.

Officials from all over Xiangzhou had gathered in the Xiangzhou Academy of Literature. The officials from the farthest places even rode on Jiaoma and galloped all night, and they had not closed their eyes yet.

When Fang Yun slowly entered the gate of the Academy of Literature, all the officials' faces were full of expectations.

From now on, no matter what faction the officials in the Academy of Literature belonged to, they were at least half members of the Ning'an Party.

As a member of the bureaucracy, everyone knew the purpose of Fang Yun's summoning of the officials of Xiangzhou this time. Some officials did not arrive, some were sick, and some were on their way slowly.

However, as long as they are here now, they must know what choice they have made.

"Meet the Governor!"

Everyone bowed and greeted him.

Fang Yun walked in and smiled, "You are too polite. I am no longer an official and no longer the governor of the three states. This time I came mainly to hand over government affairs, of course, including the future planning of Xiangzhou."

After hearing the end, everyone's hearts finally settled down. Fang Yun did not disappoint them. Although he had resigned, he had no intention of disbanding his party.

Dong Wencong and others smiled. To some extent, Fang Yun did not want to get out of this unscathed, but he could not. For these people, he could not stand idly by, which would inevitably lead to being deserted by everyone.

No one is alone in this world.

Fang Yun walked to his chair and sat down slowly.

Everyone stood, and no one sat down immediately.

The autumn sun fell on the Baling City Academy of Literature, adding a touch of warmth to the cold morning.

Fang Yun smiled faintly and glanced at everyone.

"From now on, anyone named by this king will leave the Academy of Literature."

Many people shuddered suddenly, feeling cold all over, realizing that Fang Yun had other intentions in summoning all the officials this time.

Then, Fang Yun began to call out names one by one, and the expressions of those whose names were called were different.

Some looked regretful, some were terrified, some sighed softly, and some smiled.

Everyone left the Academy obediently without resistance.

The remaining people vaguely understood that these people were either weak-willed, or had ulterior motives, or were just here to watch and did not really want to join the Ning'an Party.

When the last official left, all the remaining officials looked at Fang Yun in awe.

This kind of power is far beyond that of ordinary Confucian scholars. I am afraid that only Yi Zhishi can have such insight into the heart below the semi-saint.
