The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Li's attitude was more respectful. He was also half a scholar and often saw his son writing poems. However, it was rare for a mere chair to write a poem to encourage students to study. His own son could not do it before, let alone now.

Fang Yun nodded and said: "Now that you know this truth, what should you do in the future?"

Fang Zhongyong moved his mouth, glanced at his father, and finally lowered his head, speechless.

Fang Yun looked at Fang Li coldly.

"Please give me your orders, Mr. Wenhou. From now on, I will do whatever you say. I will never disobey it."

At this moment, a beaming voice came from outside the door.

"Congratulations to Fang Yun... No, it should be the lower official congratulating Marquis Fang Wen on winning the position of a civil servant." A familiar voice sounded.

Fang Yun turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a Jinshi white sword uniform walking through the door. The small silver swords at the cuffs and collar were particularly eye-catching.

Fang Yun was about to speak, but Fang Li stepped forward and shouted: "How presumptuous! Is this where you, a small county magistrate, come from? You tricked me and Zhong Yong into betraying Marquis Fang Wen. Fortunately, I was prepared in advance and told Lord Wenhou in advance. Pass the letter, otherwise you will become a sinner for the ages! You despicable villain! You don't even have the heart of a scholar for the sake of a mere official position. In a few days, your literary courage will be shattered!"

Fang Li became more and more excited. He was so powerful that even a magistrate, let alone a magistrate, would still scold him.

Cai He and Fang Yun were stunned and laughed at the same time.

Cai He pointed at Fang Li, and the other party said, "This cousin of yours is so stupid. I wanted to scold him that day, but it's a pity that we couldn't spoil our plan."

Fang Li's face suddenly turned from red to white, and he stared at Fang Yun nervously, fearing that what Cai He said was true.

Fang Yun said half-jokingly: "Magistrate Cai is indeed very fast. I sent you a letter just a quarter of an hour ago, but you are now at Dayuan Mansion. Is there something happening under your feet?"

Cai He smiled as he walked: "After the results were released, there were thousands of letters scolding me. Do you think I can sit still? After handling the county government affairs, I came all the way by carriage and came to find him as soon as possible." You cleansed my reputation, but as soon as I entered your house, I was scolded by Fang Li."

Fang Yun said: "The legend of White Snake is right. The great scholar named Cai He is indeed cunning."

"Don't talk about this, or I will fight you to the death! Why do you write me as bald and give me a nickname of Fahai? Do you know how my wife laughs at me? Now you can call me Fahai when you have nothing to do. Who can bear it? !”

Fang Yun laughed together with the others.

Fang Li hurriedly bent down and bowed: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know you were playing a cruel trick with your cousin, so I hope you can forgive me."

Cai He smiled calmly and said, "If I argue with people like you, I, the county magistrate, will die from exhaustion three times a day! I want to attend Fang Yun's celebration banquet today and I won't argue with you."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Fang Li expressed his gratitude.

"Just now I heard Fang Zhongyong say that you wrote a new poem? Zhongyong, recite it again." Cai He said.

Fang Zhongyong immediately told the whole story, and finally recited "The Square Chair".

Cai He sighed: "These days, Marquis Wen probably understands best what it means to be a poor man, and he can incorporate his own experiences into poems and essays. They are all first-class poems!"

"Marquis Wen is naturally talented." Fang Li hurriedly flattered him.

Fang Yun suddenly showed a strange smile and said to Cai He: "I have two things to tell you, but if you want to hear the second thing, you must help me complete the first thing."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Cai He asked.

Fang Yun's face turned cold, he looked at Fang Li, then at Fang Zhongyong, and finally said: "Fang Zhongyong was originally a child prodigy in our Ji County. He was only twelve years old. He should have been studying, but he was taken away by his ignorant father. Showing off everywhere, using his son as a commodity to sell to others! In just a few years, he has fallen from being outstanding to being invisible to everyone! Cai Zhixian is in charge of the education of a county. How should we deal with such acts that violate the holy principles? "

Fang Li was stunned, and so was Fang Zhongyong.

Cai He's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Fang Li displeasedly and said, "What Fang Li did is against the way of education. From today on, Fang Zhongyong, like other children, must go to the county school to study every day. He is allowed to rest for ten days and is not allowed to leave the county at night. Anyone who obstructs this will be regarded as a violation of the national law! Fang Zhong will never become a scholar and cannot be changed!"

Fang Li was furious. Over the years, he had made a lot of money by selling poems with his son. The county had already sold almost all of them. Now he could only make money by selling famous poems in Dayuan Prefecture or neighboring prefectures. If he had to do it in Studying in Jixian County is equivalent to cutting off one's own financial path, which is equivalent to taking half of one's life!

Fang Li said angrily: "I don't accept it! Zhongyong is my son, he must do whatever I ask him to do! Father, father and son are the road of human relations. Anyone who dares to stop me is rebelling against the holy way! He wants to overthrow Kong Holy world! If you dare to separate our father and son, I will go to the imperial court! I will kill you in front of the Holy Court and make you two infamy!"

Fang Yun snorted softly and said: "Please, as the old saying in our Jixian County says, if you don't dare to invite, you are born from the sweet potato spirit!"

Everyone almost laughed. All fairies have heard of it, but sweet potatoes can also turn into fairies? The way Ji County curses people is too novel.

Fang Li couldn't hold back his face until his face turned red, but he still didn't dare to open his mouth.

"Anyone else dares to ask the Holy Judge in front of Fang Yun?" Cai He said with a smile.

Li Fanming then laughed and said: "Fang Yun has gone through the Holy Judgment, Holy Selection, Holy Pen Evaluation, etc. These past few months have kept the saints very busy. The saints must hate him. You should ask the Holy Judgment immediately and let the saints punish him! In fact, we can no longer stand it! Why is he so close to the saints?"

"I'm not convinced either! Fang Li, we're on your side. Please call out the saints quickly and let the saints rule and destroy Fang Yun's arrogance!" Zong Wude followed suit.

The rest of the people laughed evilly.

Fang Li's face became redder and redder.

Jia Jing'an said angrily: "A shameless person like you still invites the Holy Inquisitor? Not to mention that you can't invite him at all, even if you do, the Sage will definitely slap you away with his palm first!"

Fang Li blushed and shouted, "You are bullying people!"

"So what?" Fang Yun asked.

Fang Li almost went crazy.

"You...don't think that just because you are a high-ranking official, you are bullying the common people! Zhongyong must listen to me! If he doesn't listen, he is unfilial! The Zhao family of the Jingguo royal family rules the world with filial piety. If I go to sue the emperor, No civil or military officials will spare you! You are all murderers of filial piety! You are worse than a demon!" Fang Li shouted.

Fang Yun said calmly: "Fang Li, I will give you one last chance to give up the plot to kill Zhong Yong, let him continue his studies, and let him take the imperial examination or even become a Jinshi. If you keep doing this, you will destroy him!"

"This is our family matter, and you outsiders have nothing to do with it! Zhongyong, come with me!" Fang Li said and was about to pull Fang Zhongyong away.

Suddenly, a white lightsaber flew out of Cai He's mouth and was placed on Fang Li's neck.

"Don't! Don't! If you have something to say, say it!" Fang Li was too frightened to move, and kept glancing down.

Fang Yun looked at Fang Zhongyong and said, "You are also a scholar. What do you think?"

Fang Zhongyong looked at his father and saw that he was showing his fierceness. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Filial piety cannot be violated. I beg you, sir, to spare my father."

Fang Li hurriedly said: "Listen! Let me go quickly. Are you not even as good as a child?"

Fang Yun glanced at Fang Li, and then slowly recited the allusion of Zeng Zi receiving the staff from "Confucius Family Sayings".

"Zeng Zi was cultivating melons and mistakenly cut off the roots. Zeng Xi was angry and built a big staff to hit his back..."

This story tells that before being canonized, Zengzi made a mistake and was beaten by his father, and was finally knocked unconscious.

After Zengzi woke up, the first thing he did was not to check his own injuries, but to care about whether his father had calmed down. In order to prevent his father from worrying about him, he played the piano and sang loudly to make his father more convinced that he was right.

When others heard this, they all praised Zengzi for his filial piety. But when Confucius found out, he was very angry and told his disciples not to see Zengzi again in the future.

When Zengzi heard about it, he felt uneasy and didn't know what he had done wrong. So he asked someone to ask Confucius why he didn't see him.

The man went to see Confucius, and Confucius said that the ancient Ming Dynasty Shun was a filial son. No matter when his father came to see Shun, Shun would always be there. However, when his father wanted to kill Shun, Shun was gone.

Confucius then said that if Zeng Zi was only punished lightly, he could bear it, but if he was beaten with a big stick, he must avoid it. If Zengzi was beaten to death by his father because he refused to run away, then he would have done injustice to his father. Wouldn't it be the greatest form of unfilial piety? And Zengzi was a subject of the Son of Heaven. If Zengzi's father killed Zengzi, wouldn't he have committed a serious crime? This is foolish filial piety!

When Fang Yun finished reading, Fang Li broke out in a cold sweat and cursed Fang Yun in his heart for being so cruel. As soon as "Confucius' Family Sayings" came out, he couldn't defend himself.

Fang Yun then said: "Zhongyong, just a few days ago, I wanted to write an article "Injury to Zhongyong", using you as an example to warn everyone that if you can't calm down and study, just relying on your talent, you will eventually be beaten by your peers. transcend, and your father will surely be stinking for eternity. Name. If you really obey your father's words and don't study, you will do your father an injustice, which is the greatest unfilial piety! Our human race needs talents, but you personally kill the future great scholars and even great scholars because of your foolish filial piety. Disloyal and unjust!”

Fang Zhongyong's nose was covered with sweat.

Finally, Fang Yun shouted: "Fang Zhongyong, have you read your book in vain?"

There was a strange power in Fang Yun's voice. Everyone felt that Fang Yun's words seemed to be the truth. Even Fang Li nodded inexplicably, but then he woke up and glared at Fang Yun.

Fang Zhongyong knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, then raised his head and said, "Thank you uncle for reminding me, Zhongyong almost made a big mistake of being unfaithful, unfilial and unjust!"

A flash of surprise flashed in Yan Yukong's eyes, which others could not detect, but he, a direct disciple of the Semi-Saint, could find that Fang Yun's words actually contained the meaning of "Heaven's Word". Although it was not the complete power of Heaven's Word, But it is no small matter.

Tianyan is a God-given power that is only available to academicians. It requires at least six talent initiations to obtain it.

Yan Yukong was puzzled at first, but then he suddenly realized that Fang Yun was a holy person, and he had received exactly six talent initiations!
