The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 3093 Seize Fengzhou!

When scholars from various countries heard the news, they all laughed at Qingguo. This was a typical case of being trapped in one's own trap and shooting oneself in the foot.

Scholars not only did not scold Yan Yukong, but praised him, because although Yan Yukong left Qingguo, he joined Kongcheng instead of Jingguo, so he was not considered a traitor to the country.

Even some Qingguo scholars spoke for Yan Yukong, after all, the cabinet's actions to alienate Fang Yun and Yan Yukong were excessive.

Most Qingguo people did not scold Yan Yukong, but scolded the Qingguo cabinet, the Zong family, and the Zajia family for ruining the future of Qingguo!

Many Qingguo scholars were even furious and ran to the palace in Xinjing to curse.

Because Yan Yukong was originally their hope!

Yan Yukong was originally the hope of Qingguo!

Yan Yukong was originally the next Qingguo half-saint!

Now, Yan Yukong is gone.

He was forced away by the cabinet and the Zajia family.

The furious scholar knew that it was not Yan Yukong's fault. If he were Yan Yukong, he would leave too.

Therefore, a large number of Qingguo scholars gathered in Xinjing, Qingguo, and held a massive protest.

The officials of the Qingguo cabinet were unbelievable and panicked for a while.

Isn't this the method that the Zajia used repeatedly to deal with Fang Yun? How did it happen to him?

The incident quickly fermented and spread throughout Qingguo and even the entire human race. Almost everyone realized that Qingguo was now in a precarious situation and the building was about to collapse.

More and more scholars left Qingguo.

Some scholars were completely desperate about Qingguo and did not go to Jingguo, but to other countries.

As a result, Jingguo's seizure of Lingzhou was very smooth. Every time a city was captured, the civil and military officials and wealthy families in the city took the initiative to help maintain order.

Some cities in Lingzhou were far away from Xizhou and had not been conquered. The officials there were afraid that someone would secretly make trouble, so they didn't care about anything and arrested all the hooligans in the city and put them in jail.

The ruffians in Lingzhou were helpless and could only eat the moldy and smelly prison food silently.

Qingguo lost the support of the people, and the morale of the entire Lingzhou dropped sharply. Qingguo could only pin its hopes on the problems of Jingguo's new-style institutions, and then they refused the judgment of the Holy Court and went to war with Jingguo.

However, Qingguo soon got the information that made them angry. Jingguo actually had a special institutional logistics group, which was composed of workers, responsible for maintaining the new-style institutions!

Those new-style institutions may not last for a few years, but they only need to hold on for a few months to take Lingzhou!

Qingguo's original plan fell through.

After the September Juren test, Jingguo swallowed up most of Lingzhou, and then had to speed up.

The reason was that the scholars in other cities in Lingzhou were anxious, and kept asking Jingguo friends to write to the cabinet to let the Jing army hurry up!

After October, Lingzhou fell into the hands of Jingguo.

After that, the Jingguo cabinet sent a message that it would not launch a war to seize the state before the New Year.

The people of Qing and even the civil and military officials of Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and now they can have a good New Year.

The people of Fengzhou and the clan members also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the worst situation did not happen, and the people of Jing did not fight for Fengzhou.

For the whole year, Fang Yun was in the Temple of All Saints, serving as the chief examiner of this year's Tongsheng Test, Xiucai Test, Juren Test and Xiucai Test.

This year, more than 1,200 women passed the three subjects directly from Mengtong.

This year, four women went from Shengqian Tongsheng to Shengqian Xiucai and then to Shengqian Juren.

This year, all the female Juren gave up the Jinshi test. On the surface, they were not strong enough to wait until the next year, but in fact, they paid tribute to Fang Sheng and did not want to break Fang Sheng's record of passing four subjects in the same year before becoming the Four Saints.

This year, the total number of questions in the Juren and Jinshi tests increased by 30%, among which the content of Confucianism and Miscellaneous Schools decreased, and the content of other schools increased.

The proportion of human scholars in each family has changed. The proportion of those who minor in Confucianism remains unchanged, but the proportion of those who major in Confucianism has decreased significantly.

The number of scholars in the School of Engineering, the School of Legalism, and the School of Political Science has increased sharply.

On the first day of the new year, Fang Yun, on behalf of the saints, delivered a speech on the discussion board and expressed his intention to increase efforts to popularize the engineering technology of Jingguo and strengthen cooperation with other ethnic groups to make the human race more prosperous.

On the second day of the new year, Jingguo launched a war to seize Fengzhou from Qingguo!

The human race was in an uproar.

The patriarch is in Fengzhou!

The discussion board was full of the word "crazy".

On the Shengyuan Continent, scholars from all over the country were muttering the word "crazy".

Why did Jingguo do this!

Why did he do this!

What are the consequences?

Although some people have speculated on this possibility, they still cannot bear this result.

Once Jingguo sends troops to Fengzhou, it means that the hard-won peace of the human race will be completely broken.

Even if Zong Sheng is the kindest person in the world, a coward who is bullied by everyone, he will fight back at this moment.

What makes everyone feel a little relieved is that Jing State only launched a war to seize Fengzhou and did not send troops immediately.

Many people suspect that this is just a means for Jing State to sell Fengzhou for a higher price in exchange for greater benefits.

On the second day of the New Year, all the ministers of Qing State were present in the palace.

Zong Ganyu is no longer here.

Because Zong Ganyu just fainted in the morning and was sent to the Holy Court for rescue.

At this moment, the officials of Qing State really experienced what it means to be in a precarious situation.

Without Zong Ganyu, the Zong family gave up their right to speak.

Without the Zong family presiding over it, the court fell into a fierce debate.

"We can't watch Fengzhou being seized. We must negotiate peace, and negotiate peace in all aspects!"

"No! If we negotiate peace now, we will regret it in the future!"

"That's better than regretting it now!"

"Why don't we gather scholars to go to Daofeng Mountain and beg Fang Sheng to stop the war to seize the state!"

"Why go to Daofeng Mountain? Are you looking for trouble?"

"Then let Zong Sheng take action!"

"How dare you! Zong Sheng will make his own decision! Zong Sheng's holy intention, how can you spy on it!"

"Then I don't care, you just wait for Jiu Taoshan to be besieged by millions of Jing troops!"

"How dare you!"

The Golden Palace of Qing State was in a mess, as if the dispute between Fang Party and Liu Party of Jing State was reenacted.

"What should we do?"

"We can only pray that Zong Sheng's plan will succeed!"

The court meeting that lasted a day ended late at night, and in the end, no discussion was made on how to resist the Jing State army.

Everyone left it to fate.

Time passed slowly, until the second day of the second month, when the human race ate pig heads everywhere, and Jing State did not send a single soldier.

Some rumors spread, and the civil and military officials of Jing State were very controversial about this matter.

Some generals refused to participate in the battle against Fengzhou.

If the patriarch was furious and the holy body descended, the whole army could be wiped out with a snap of a finger.

The opposition of some generals angered the cabinet, and all of them were dismissed from office, and those generals were prohibited from engaging in politics and military for three generations.

Until then, everyone was sure that before Qing launched the war to seize the state, Fang Sheng had already asked Jing to prepare.

If it was not Qing that launched the war to seize the state, it was very likely that Jing took the initiative to launch the war to seize the state!

And it was very likely that Fengzhou would be seized right away!
