The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Everyone present heard what the young Duke said. A few people shook their heads and sighed, while more people sneered.

Everyone knows that King Kang wants to win the king's heart. The young prince has been studying in the capital, mainly to recruit talents for Prince Kang's palace.

This time, the official document of the small country failed and was overturned. No one dared to join Kangshe anymore, which cut off the most important talent selection channel for Prince Kang's palace.

In the Holy Yuan Continent, gold and silver treasures, divine treasures, official positions, etc. are irrelevant. Scholars are the foundation that supports a power. Without enough support from scholars, even if you have countless wealth, it will be useless in the Holy Yuan Continent. status.

This large-scale withdrawal from the society was enough to reduce the influence of Prince Kang's Palace on Yanzhou by 30%. Because this large-scale withdrawal from the society had a great impact on the people and scholars, those who were neutral or hesitant would inevitably stay away from Prince Kang's Palace.

The students of Liufengshe who joined forces with Kangshe in Danbo Pavilion did not look good on their faces. Although Liufengshe was stronger than Kangshe and had many children of officials in the court, the actual person in charge of Liufengshe, Zuo Xiang, Liu Shan's relationship with Fang Yun was at odds.

Although Ji Zhibai, the leader of Liufeng Society, did not come forward to say anything this time, they had already tacitly followed Xiao Guogong to obstruct Fang Yun.

After the little Duke finished vomiting blood and shouting, the remaining dozens of people in Kangshe left silently.

Just as Fang Yun was about to continue walking, another group of people came.

The core students of Liufeng Society looked downcast.

"Qin Ting, a student in the capital, has left Liufeng Society. If the leftist prime ministers don't admit their mistakes to Fang Wenhou, I will not return to Liufeng Society!"

"Miao Danian, a student from Mizhou, left Liufeng Society. Although the left prime minister and his party are usually unbearable, they are still from our country, Jing. It is understandable that they should be enemies of Fang Yun. But after today, Fang Yun's enemy is Jing. Enemies of the country! Talents gather in the country to strengthen our country. If such talents are humiliated in the country again, I will fight to the death. If not, I will betray the country!"

The faces of the other disciples of Liufeng Society were as dark as ink. This man's words were extremely treasonous. If he had said this in normal times, the Jingguo Supervisory Office would have come to him long ago, but now it was like a big slap on the faces of all the disciples of Liufeng Society. .

When the time comes that this person really commits treason, he will be forced to do so by the Left Chancellor Party. If this person continues to stay in Jingguo, he will be a thorn in the flesh that the Left Chancellor Party can only hate but cannot touch.

Subsequently, students from Liufeng Society began to withdraw from the society one after another, but the scale was not as large as that of Prince Kang's Mansion. After all, Liufeng Society had too many disciples of the Left Prime Minister and one party who were still there.

Liufeng Society fell from a first-class literary society with a thousand people to a second-rate literary society.

People led by Fang Yun have been standing in the square. People from Liufeng Society kept coming to withdraw from the club and apologize to Fang Yun. Tens of thousands of students were scattered around to watch the excitement. Some female students stared at Fang Yun and talked in low voices, shouting from time to time. There was a slight sound of playfulness, and as soon as anyone looked over, he immediately covered his mouth and lowered his head.

Qiao Juze pretended to wipe his sweat and touched his forehead and said: "Fang Wenhou's destructive power is close to that of the Great Demon King. It's just his first time to enter Lingyan Pavilion. Before he can officially enter the school, he has killed two major students in Jingguo Academy." The first-class literary society was defeated, and even Chen Sheng, who entered Jingguo Academy at the beginning, could not catch up with him. He was so cruel and cruel!"

"Some people say that Fang Zhenguo is the reincarnation of the demon saint. I didn't believe it before, but now I do."

"Lord Wenhou, my Guanhai Society has always followed the rules, so you must be merciful." One person joked.

"Yes, I have never offended you at Guitianshe. Don't be impulsive!" A student from the Zhang Heng family said with a smile.

The people in Liufeng Society became more and more uncomfortable with what they heard and quickly left.

Qiao Juze glanced at the backs of everyone in Liufeng Society and said, "Let's go and celebrate Fang Zhen's national victory!"

Before Fang Yun could refuse, he was surrounded by hundreds of people and walked out. He couldn't even think about leaving.

"Brother Fang, how did you get ten chips in the seventh pavilion? Can you let us have a look at the paintings and calligraphy?" one person said impatiently.

Fang Yun hesitated for a moment and said: "I chose to paint the picture of pine forest and stream in the Colorful Poetry Pavilion. I used the techniques of painting rocks and water that I learned at the Wudao River, so I am very good at it."

"Can you show me a little bit at the literary meeting?"

"That's okay." Fang Yun nodded.

"Why rush? The Holy Court will definitely find Fang Lun, and he will definitely be included in next month's "Holy Way" monthly magazine."

"If nothing else happens, next month's "Holy Way" will become 'a book of 'Holy Way' half a fortune'. This month's "Holy Way" gave Fang Wenhou an additional title of Fang Twelve, and many novels Fang Yunjiang has exhausted his talents, but it is not difficult to become Fang Five or Fang Six next month.”

"By the way, I also need to add the poem that conquered the country. The line 'The clothes are getting wider and you will never regret it, and you will be haggard because of Yi'. It is simply a stroke of genius."

"Next month's "Holy Path", if we want to break it down, it's not just as simple as 'Fang Five Fang Six', it may far exceed Fang Twelve!" Qiao Juze said.

"Brother Qiao, why did you say this?"

Qiao Juze said: "Fang Yun's poem about conquering the country plus "Remembering the Holy Ruins Brothers on September 9th" must be included in the "Holy Way", and the peculiar poem "Three Antis and Hidden Fronts" he sent to Chang Dongyun must also be included. He wrote it in Chen The red and white poem at the family wedding banquet, which has never appeared before, is also a unique one. Together with Danboting's poem "The quality of the piano is high and low, the heart knows oneself", plus "Shang Zhongyong", this is the "Holy Way" in Liuwen "!"

Everyone's eyes were slightly dazed, and then they realized that although today was only the tenth day of September, Fang Yun had gone through the imperial examination and entered the capital. He first went to the Chen family's wedding banquet, then wrote lyrics for the teacher's son as a betrothal gift, and finally entered Lingyan Pavilion. , although the time is short, but there are too many things experienced.

Qiao Juze continued: "Finally in Lingyan Pavilion, in addition to chess, Fang Yun's zither has new fingering, calligraphy has new fonts, brushwork and inkwork, and the last painting has new painting methods. One method and one article, if nothing unexpected happens, Fang Yun will directly become 'Fang Twenty' from 'Fang Twelve' next month."

"After saying this, I suddenly realized that the nickname Fang Wenba is vulgar, but it is too appropriate! In the past, he only dominated the poetry part of "The Holy Way", but now it's good, he has also dominated the parts of zither, calligraphy and painting! The scholars who major in these three ways may be depressed and happy. The depression is that they can't compete with Fang Yun, and the joy is that they can learn newer techniques."

Younian said: "Next month's "The Holy Way" cannot publish so many articles, I'm afraid it will have to publish a supplement. I'm afraid that Mr. Fang will have a new nickname in the future, 'Fang Supplement'."

Everyone laughed.

"Let's stop talking nonsense and go to Lingyun Tower to celebrate Fang Yun's success. Let him personally explain the subtleties of the art of playing the zither, calligraphy and painting! Let those who don't believe in him see it."

In the afternoon sun, everyone walked out of the academy.

At first, only the best students in the academy followed, but after learning that Fang Yun was going to personally teach the three arts of playing the zither, calligraphy and painting, the rest of the students in the academy also rushed to Lingyun Tower, and even many lecturers followed.

Afterwards, the news that Fang Yun had won all the chips in the seven pavilions spread throughout the capital. Soon, firecrackers rang out everywhere in the capital to celebrate this once-in-a-century great event.

In Lingyun Tower, Fang Yun sat in the Tianzihao guest room on the second floor. This room should only have one table, but now it has four large tables. More than fifty Jinshi are crowded here. In addition, there are several Juren from semi-saint families. Juren from wealthy families are not qualified to sit down at all.

More than half of the elite young scholars in Jingguo gathered here.

The food and wine had not been served yet, but the atmosphere in the room was already hot, and everyone was in a great mood to talk, and no one could suppress the joy in their hearts.

These Jinshi had a good chance of becoming Hanlin, but a slim chance of becoming a university scholar. However, now that their talents have gathered, after decades of polishing, their chances of becoming a university scholar have greatly increased, at least several times the original.

Fang Yun had been sitting for less than a quarter of an hour when the slightly fat shopkeeper came in with a sad face.

"Fang Wenhou, please open the window and take a look."

It was a little cool in autumn, and the windows were closed. The Jinshi by the window opened the window, looked out, and smiled, "Brother Fang, you really have to come and take a look."

The setting sun shone into the room. Fang Yun walked to the window curiously and looked to the east first. His eyes widened involuntarily. There were densely packed people standing on the road, as far as the eye could see. Most of these people were wearing civil service clothes, including Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren and Jinshi, and even a few people wearing Hanlin clothes could be vaguely seen.

Fang Yun looked to the west again, and saw that it was even more crowded than the east. There were also scholars, and they were in groups of people of the same age. It was obvious that some people from the academy came here collectively.

"The streets are full of scholars, a wonder of Jingguo." Someone said beside Fang Yun.

Fang Yun turned back to look at the shopkeeper and asked, "Are they not coming for me?"

The shopkeeper said helplessly, "Besides you, who else can attract all the scholars in the city? When someone heard that you were going to talk about the way of Qiting Manchou, those scholars went crazy and came to Lingyun Tower in groups. At first I was happy, but now I can't laugh anymore. The hall downstairs is so crowded that even the tables are full of people, and even one table was stepped on and collapsed."

"Well, this... I really didn't invite them here." Fang Yun said sincerely.

"I know, they want to listen to your lecture. Now there are so many people in a short time. If we wait another hour, our 'Lingyun Tower' will be squeezed out. How about you give lectures at another place on another day? This Lingyun Tower really can't stand the tossing." The shopkeeper pleaded.

Fang Yun looked at the other Jinshi in the room. He had just arrived in the capital, so he had to rely on these students in the academy for such things.

Qiao Juze stood up and said, "I will contact Zhou Xuezheng, who is responsible for preaching, and ask him if he agrees to let you give lectures in the academy tomorrow. If yes, you will announce it with your eloquence. Wait a moment, I will contact Zhou Xuezheng."

Fang Yun smiled and said, "Can the shopkeeper wait for a moment?"

"Okay, okay, gentlemen, chat slowly, I'll wait outside the door." The shopkeeper said and walked out.

After a while, Qiao Juze frowned and said, "Zhou Xuezheng said that he couldn't make the decision on this matter, but if he asked the president of the academy right away, he might have to wait another half an hour. After all, the president of the academy is responsible for the routine affairs of the entire academy, and his status is only below that of the Minister of Literature."

"Half an hour? Okay, then I'll wait..."

Before Fang Yun finished speaking, he heard a gentle spring thunder from the sky.

"Tomorrow morning, Fang Yun will give lectures at Yuexi Academy. Those who are proficient in the three arts of zither, calligraphy and painting or above the level of Tongsheng can enter the academy to listen to the lectures."

When the first word was uttered, everyone in the room stood up quickly and listened with their hands down.

This was the voice of Minister of Literature Jiang Hechuan.

After Jiang Hechuan finished speaking, Qiao Juze smiled and said, "I was really confused. What kind of Xuezheng or president should I ask? The Minister of Literature will naturally pay attention to this matter personally. What a Fang Zengkan. He not only didn't listen to the class after entering the academy, but started to give lectures instead. He can be called the first wonder of the academy!"
