The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

The Poetry Ancestor Ceremony started with the Holy Treasure transforming into a star and ended with the fall of the three stars. Many people knew about it, but only those who were unaware still looked at the sky, wondering what new visions would appear.

After a few breaths, the vision disappeared. Many people stopped looking at the sky and lowered their heads while rubbing their sore necks.

In a corner of the square, students from Mingzhi Academy were rubbing their necks and chatting, only a few of them were still looking at the sky.

"As expected of Fang Zhenguo, he actually took another step forward and became the ancestor of poetry and poetry!"

"You don't know yet? Fang Wenhou has gone one step further and become a Holy Scholar!"

"Ah? That's a double blessing! Before being passed down by Confucius, he is the greatest genius in history among the four saints!"

"Hehe, our dean is really a treacherous person... He is very scheming. In the past few days, he has been promoting the gift of Zhenguo poems by Marquis Fang Wen to Brother Zhengying, who once studied in this hospital. He even invited an old Hanlin from the capital to write down "The belt is getting wider." I have no regrets in the end, and I am so haggard because of it. I placed it in the academy, turned love poems into inspirational poems, turned 'women' into 'knowledge', and allowed me to study until I lost weight. It's really wonderful."

"Now that Marquis Fang Wen has become the founder of poetry, the dean will definitely promote it again and let us know that the academy is among the top ten academies in the capital..."

One person suddenly shouted: "Look, there seem to be many people who are rising rapidly."

Everyone looked up and saw a total of eight Confucian scholars and more than ten academicians coming out of the air. Their clothes were moving slightly, some were gentle and elegant, some were graceful, some were in the wind, or some were elegant.

A mere twenty or so people seemed to occupy the entire sky, one person at a time, with a huge momentum.

These great scholars and scholars circled the sky above the holy temple and descended slowly. The whole place was silent. Including Ye Hongyu, there were nine great scholars here. This was a rare event in ten years. Even the grandson of the Chen Sheng family couldn't invite so many great scholars to get married.

"Master of the Hall of Punishment, something big is going to happen." Some sharp-eyed people noticed this and warned in low voices, terrified.

The Xingdian has a very high status in the Ten Kingdoms. Once something happens, something big will happen, and the severity of the situation is closely related to the civil status of the people in the Xingdian.

If a great scholar from the Palace of Punishment comes in person, he will at least have to deal with major matters such as the reversal of the great scholar's race.

Many people in Jingguo know that they are not of the wrong kind, but they are still panicked when they see the great scholar from the Xingdian Palace coming. Every time the great scholar from the Xingdian Palace comes out, there will be a bloody storm, and at least one state will be shaken. For someone like Jingguo, For a small country, it means that the vitality of the country is damaged.

Jiang Hechuan said: "On behalf of the hundreds of millions of people of Jingguo, I respectfully welcome the special envoy of the Palace of Punishment."

"Welcome the special envoy of the Hall of Punishment!" All the scholars bowed to the great Confucian of the Hall of Punishment together.

Lei Tingyu's eyes moved and he was about to speak when out of the corner of his eye he noticed that Jiang Hechuan suddenly stretched out his hand to hold the official seal.

Lei Tingyu's face turned dark instantly. He knew Jiang Hechuan's temper and would not play tricks. However, if anyone did something excessive in front of his face, Jiang Hechuan would dare to use justice to avoid surprise, and then start a civil war.

Jiang Hechuan's reputation is not gained by being a good old man, but by daring to fight with others at any time.

Quite a few great scholars from the Ten Kingdoms were like this. They could be defeated, but they could not let their ideals and aspirations of the holy way be damaged.

At this time, Lei Tingyu announced the fate of Fang like a spring thunder, and Jiang Hechuan dared to directly use Xiangyin to mobilize the talents of the temple and imprison him directly.

The Great Confucian of the Xing Palace seemed not to have seen anything. He glanced at the crowd, cupped his hands slightly, and said with a tongue-tied tongue: "Xu Changjing, the head of the Inspectorate of the Palace of Punishment, has met all of you from Jingguo. A few days ago, the Holy Academy received the Jinshi Zongji and Sima Hezhi of the Holy Academy. joint name The lawsuit was filed against Fang Yun, who refused to save him during the battle between the human race and the demon barbarians in Denglongtai, causing Lei Jiu to die of poison. Lei Jiunai was a genius of the human race, an elite of the Holy Academy, and the Xing Palace took it very seriously, so the reason for this case was. I'll investigate it myself."

Xu Changjing's voice only spread around the temple, and did not spread to the entire Jingguo Academy, nor to the rest of the capital.

As soon as these words came out, everyone talked a lot. When many people heard Lei Jiu, they immediately thought of Fang Yun's absolute "smoke-locked pond willow".

Most people in Jingguo disagreed. Fang Yun just ignored death and did not kill anyone. Besides, the conflict between the Lei family and Fang Yun was well known to everyone.

Some people frowned. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal if Fang Yun didn't save someone when they were about to die, but if they didn't save someone when the human race was fighting to the death with the monsters, it would really be a big trouble.

At least an "unjust" name can be implemented.

But this is a stigma, not a serious crime. It is not worthy of Da Ru's visit. However, Fang Yun has a special status, so it is understandable for Da Ru to come.

Many older scholars realize the purpose of the Lei family.

"This is to prevent Fang Yun from participating in the Jinshi Examination!"

"That's it." Many people suddenly realized.

This kind of investigation is difficult to complete in less than half a month. It will take at least a month to wait for the verdict of the Holy Court, because all matters of the Holy Court must go through procedures. Even if it is handled urgently, it will not be possible on the first day of December when the Jinshi Examination is held. Finish.

If you do not participate in the Jinshi examination, you are not a genuine Jinshi and are not qualified to enter the Holy Academy, because the Holy Academy clearly stipulates that only Jinshi who participate in the imperial examination can enter.

Even if Fang Yun is a Holy Scholar, he is not a "Jinshi" in terms of national rites, and is subject to restrictions everywhere. Once the Zuo Prime Minister and others obstruct him, he will be stuck in politics or the military because of his background.

One person said worriedly: "What I'm most afraid of is not that they delay Fang Wenhou's Jinshi examination, but that they will permanently deprive Fang Wenhou of his qualification to participate in the Jinshi examination."

Everyone nearby was moved. If Fang Yun's qualifications for the imperial examination were permanently deprived, it would be bad news for the people of Jingguo.

Not having gone through the Jinshi exam is extremely detrimental to one’s future growth. At best, one’s literary courage will be tarnished and one’s path to becoming a saint will be cut off. At worst, one will give up on oneself and never make any further progress.

"No, the Criminal Court will not be so confused about right and wrong. Let's hear what Fang Yun has to say."

Xu Changjing, a great scholar in the Criminal Court, looked at Fang Yun and said, "Fang Yun, is this true?"

Fang Yun smiled indifferently and said, "There were more than ten people who participated in the demon barbarians that day. Why didn't the others sign a joint name, but Zong Ji and Sima He signed a joint name to accuse?"

A great scholar in the Criminal Court said coldly, "The Criminal Court asks questions, you just answer them."

Fang Yun said with a humming voice, "Then I will tell you about this in detail. The Lei family, the Zong family and Sima He have always been at odds with me. In the altar hall, the demon clan's holy son Shi Wang, Gu Jiao Hou, Xiong Jun and others wanted to kill me together. Lei Jiu, Zong Ji and Sima He saw me dying and retreated to a distance. Fortunately, the other scholars of the Holy Academy were so righteous that they blocked the enemy for me."

Lei family great scholar Lei Tingyu opened his mouth and said, "It's nonsense..."

Xu Changjing, a great scholar in the Criminal Court, suddenly turned his head and looked at Lei Tingyu, without saying a word, his eyes were cold.

Lei Tingyu's voice stopped abruptly, and he closed his mouth and said no more.

Xu Changjing looked at Fang Yun, nodded slightly and said: "Continue."

"After that, the evil king Menglintang threw out the poisonous dragon ball. At that time, there were two people injured by the poisonous dragon ball. One was Zhang Zhixing from the Zhang Heng family of Jingguo, who was very close to me. The other was Lei Jiu, who retreated to a place far away from me because he did not save the dying. When I learned that the two were poisoned, I remembered Confucius' words, 'there are differences between relatives and strangers', not to mention that it is common sense to save the near ones first and then the far ones, so I saved Zhang Zhixing. Then I went to rescue Lei Jiu, but it was too late."
