The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2520: The Holy Dao Town Seal

The Zajia family actually started to attack Jingguo, which was something no one could have imagined.

The reason why Gongdian punished Qingguo before was because Qingguo's behavior affected the development of Gongdian, and it was Qingguo that forced Gongdian to do so. Even so, Gongdian only withdrew Gongdian's aid to Qingguo and did not punish Qingguo's Gongjia personnel.

But Wenxinyuan's approach was thousands of times more radical than Gongdian, and even more serious than Lidian's.

In any case, Lidian still investigated step by step, and did not necessarily break with Jingguo, but just wanted to punish Fang Yun and others, just to fight against Xingdian and Legalists.

If Wenxinyuan really expelled the officials of Jingguo, it would be a complete break with Jingguo.

Wenxinhou was the title of Lu Buwei in those days.

After hearing the news, all the officials of Jingguo panicked and immediately wrote to the emperor to request the opening of the grand court meeting.

Just two hours later, the Queen Mother announced that a grand court meeting would be held at 7pm, and all officials of the seventh rank or above were asked to arrive near the holy temple as soon as possible.

Officials from all over the country returned one after another, especially the generals who were away, and rushed to the nearby holy temple without stopping.

When the time came, a melodious and pleasant bell sounded over the palace.

The civil and military officials entered the palace and the Fengtian Hall as if they were attending the morning court.

Then, the emperor's jade seal emitted a faint white light, and the entire capital shook slightly, and the holy temples in various parts of Jingguo seemed to be connected as one.

The interior of the Fengtian Hall was constantly expanding. At the same time, three-dimensional images of officials appeared in the Fengtian Hall one after another, which were exactly the same as real people, and it was impossible to distinguish the real from the fake with the naked eye.

Not long after, most of the officials of the seventh rank and above in Jingguo appeared in the Fengtian Hall.

Thousands of officials were present, but there was no noise in the Fengtian Hall.

The Fengtian Hall was a little dull.

Among the officials present, there were more than 300 officials who majored in Miscellaneous Schools, and more than 1,000 officials who minored in Miscellaneous Schools.

This is a huge number.

If Qingguo expelled these people from Miscellaneous Schools, the more than 300 people who majored in Miscellaneous Schools would be lucky enough to have their palaces collapse and become ordinary people, but if they were unlucky, they would die on the spot.

As for the officials who minored in Miscellaneous Schools, their best luck would be a decline in their literary rank, but if they were unlucky, it would even bring disaster to their literary courage, and their literary rank would never improve.

Compared with the ban on water in the Water Palace on Qingguo, the punishment of expulsion from the Holy Way is more severe.

When the officials of Liushan's party were driven out, many experienced officials were transferred away, and Jingguo was stretched to the limit. If Fang Yun had not suppressed all the contradictions with the momentum of a great victory, Jingguo would have had big problems.

Now, if these officials of Miscellaneous Schools are expelled from Miscellaneous Schools, Jingguo will be in deep crisis in the next few years. It will not be able to simply maintain the operation of local government offices, and various chaos will inevitably occur. Only after a few years when the new officials are familiar with them, the country will tend to be stable.

This is not the biggest problem. If so many officials are expelled from the Miscellaneous Family, the national strength of Jing will plummet, and the national fortune will inevitably be sluggish. If a crisis breaks out during this period, Jing will be unable to bear it.

It is not terrible to expel officials from the Miscellaneous Family. What is terrible is that if Jing really has no Miscellaneous Family serving in government offices, then the Miscellaneous Family can impose the Holy Dao Town Seal on the entire Jing.

The consequence of the Holy Dao Town Seal is that any power involving the Holy Dao of the Miscellaneous Family will be unable to move forward in Jing.

Officials cannot understand the government orders, and the people cannot obey the government orders. The operation of the country will become extremely slow, and even basic communication between officials will be difficult to ensure.

Many things sound incredible, but they will happen under the Holy Dao Town Seal.

This is only the Holy Dao Town Seal of the Miscellaneous Family. If it is the Holy Dao Town Seal of the Workers, the organs will rust inexplicably, and the workers will misoperate inexplicably, which is completely contrary to common sense.

Historically, some small countries established in troubled times have been subjected to comprehensive suppression by the Holy Dao because of their close contacts with barbarians and even the use of barbarians with barbarian blood.

The consequences of comprehensive suppression by the Holy Dao are very serious.

All children cannot learn to read, all people speak vaguely and cannot express their meaning clearly, all people are particularly prone to illness, and it is extremely difficult to treat after illness. As long as the disease is slightly serious, they will inevitably die. Crops in all places have failed, and the climate is disordered. Facing all kinds of harsh weather, many people have lost their integrity and do not understand the law. They often commit various forms of crimes in broad daylight...

In areas under comprehensive suppression by the Holy Dao, the human race is like a demon.

Even if it is just the suppression of the Holy Dao of the Miscellaneous Family, it can make the court office of Jingguo semi-paralyzed.

All officials are thinking about the severity of the suppression of the Holy Dao of the Miscellaneous Family.

After hundreds of breaths, the voice of the Queen Mother came from behind the curtain.

"At the request of all the beloved ministers, I convened a court meeting, why is no one speaking?"

After a long while, the Minister of Personnel Huang Zongyu sighed lightly, stepped forward, and walked out of the ranks of important officials.

There is an unwritten rule in the Ten Kingdoms that the Minister of Personnel is held by those who major in the Miscellaneous School.

Huang Zongyu used to be the Minister of the Honglu Temple, majoring in the Miscellaneous School and supplementing in the Diplomatic School. He was originally in charge of diplomacy, and after Liu Shan fell, he went straight into the Ministry of Personnel and became the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel.

"I, Huang Zongyu, would like to report that the affairs of the Miscellaneous School should be treated with caution by the monarch, the queen mother, and all colleagues, and should never be underestimated."

All officials saw Huang Zongyu's helplessness.

Everyone knew clearly who the Miscellaneous School was targeting.

As long as Fang Yun compromised and admitted his mistakes, the Miscellaneous School would definitely stop.

However, Huang Zongyu could not say it directly. He was a scholar of the Miscellaneous School, but also a scholar of Jingguo.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "I already know that the people of the Zajia have set out one after another, but unlike the Xingdian, they came by water. It will take about ten days for the first batch of officials to arrive in Xiangzhou. Within ten days, we need to discuss a charter."

Everyone knows that the reason why the Zajia did not send people to Jingguo immediately is not to save talent or not to use the flying boat, but to give Jingguo a buffer time to let Jingguo put forward conditions, and then everyone sits down to negotiate.

After a short silence, the Minister of Rites Sheng Boyuan stepped forward and said, "In my humble opinion, we must first analyze the intention of the Zajia's behavior this time. I am not talented, but I am willing to throw out a brick to attract jade."

"Sheng Aiqing, please speak." said the Queen Mother.

"First, the Zong family currently holds the leading position over the Miscellaneous Family, and the Zong family is in Qing State, so the first priority of the Wenxin Academy and the Miscellaneous Family is to relieve Qing State from the siege. Qing State suffered a water ban from the Water Palace and was blocked by the Work Palace, which caused great losses to Qing State, so the Miscellaneous Family must give top priority to this matter."

"Second, it is the Dingfu Treaty, which is very complicated and almost caused Qing State to lose its rights and humiliate the country, so the Miscellaneous Family must want to revise the treaty. I guess these two points are the bottom line of the Miscellaneous Family. If these two things cannot be negotiated, the rest will be difficult to discuss."
