The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

When Fang Yun finished briefly explaining what happened, the people in Jingguo were stunned. What was his fault?

An old scholar shouted: "It is a cycle of nature and retribution will not be happy unless you see death or save someone!"

"Yes, God has a vision!"

"Good luck! You went to save me. If it were me, why would I go to save you?"

"It would be great if you don't kill Lei Jiu with your own hands, but you want to save him? Fang Yun, you are too kind-hearted!"

The crowd was furious, and people who were originally worried that Fang Yun had done something wrong began to speak for Fang Yun.

Nunu looked at Lei Tingyu fiercely, and was so angry that she kept waving her little paws to scratch him.

Hundreds of thousands of people cursed either with their mouths or in their hearts. Although it was not what a thousand people would say, the public anger contained in it was extremely powerful.

Lei Tingyu did not change his face in front of Jiang Hechuan, nor did he change his face during the confrontation between the two saints, but his expression changed slightly at this moment, and then recovered instantly.

Xu Changjing, the great scholar of the Hall of Punishment, was not affected at all. He stared at Fang Yun's eyes and asked slowly: "Did you have any hesitation in your heart at that time?"

Fang Yun said slowly: "'Zi asked Gongshu Wenzi' and 'Jiangxi met Zhao Jianzi'. The student was indeed hesitant."

Several great scholars in Jingguo couldn't help but smile. Jiang Hechuan was angry and funny.

All readers present know that these are two allusions.

The first allusion comes from "The Analects of Confucius". The full text is: Zi asked Gongshu Wenzi to Gongming Jia: "Do you believe that Master does not speak, does not laugh, and does not take it?" Gongming Jia said to him: "Those who accuse are guilty. Ye. When the Master speaks first, people are not tired of his words; when he is happy, he is not tired of his laughter; when he is righteous, he is not tired of his taking it. "The Master said: "Is this so?"

This passage is about Confucius listening to what others said and asking Gong Mingjia: "Is it true that Mr. Gongshu Wenzi doesn't talk, doesn't smile, and doesn't want money or gifts?"

Gongming Jia replied: "The person who told you is wrong. Uncle Wenzi speaks when he should speak, so people don't hate him for talking; he laughs when he should be happy, so people don't hate him for laughing; he is doing Only after you have done what you should do will you receive rewards and gifts.”

The second allusion comes from "Historical Records of Confucius". This incident was regarded as a stain on Confucius before he was canonized. Confucius respected the Zhou rites and respected the king and his ministers, but Zhao Jianzi was a powerful minister, almost a treacherous minister. He also took in rebellious ministers of the Lu State, which was treasonous and unethical in the eyes of Confucius. Confucius also criticized Zhao Jianzi's "casting a punishment cauldron" and believed that Zhao Jianzi would destroy the Jin Dynasty.

However, Zhao Jianzi was a famous official of that era. Although he and Confucius had conflicts, they cherished each other, so much so that Confucius wanted to defect to Zhao Jianzi when he was in trouble. Although he later gave up, this incident proved that Confucius had also hesitated.

After listening, the scholars present naturally knew that Fang Yun was also alluding to the things in "The Analects of Confucius".

Jiang Hechuan didn't want to speak at first, but then he thought about it and said, "You naughty boy, how dare you mention Confucius?"

Fang Yun spoke with spring thunder and said: "Kong Sheng is still doubtful about the words and deeds of the virtuous minister Gongshu Wenzi, and he is still hesitant to defect to the famous minister. I will risk my life in the poisonous mist to save the people I refuse to save." , shouldn’t there be doubts?”

"Using sacred scriptures indiscriminately and using strong words to make excuses!" Wenxiong, the great Confucian sect of Qing Dynasty, shouted loudly.

However, the scholars around him cheered loudly.

"There's nothing wrong with the truth. Why should Fang Yun do something that even a saint can't do?"

"Qingguo people, Lei family members, ask yourselves, if it were you, you might not hesitate?"

No matter how everyone yelled and cursed, Lei Tingyu and Zong Wenxiong always looked normal.

Xu Changjing nodded and said: "Since you admit that you are hesitant, you can continue to investigate this matter. But you are open-minded and tell the truth. As a great scholar in the Hall of Punishment, I believe that there is no need for 'heart-breaking questions' in this case."

As soon as Xu Changjing finished speaking, the expressions of the scholars in the audience changed drastically.

Except for the five great scholars in Jingguo, everyone else, regardless of their literary status, even the eldest princess Zhao Hongzhuang and the masked woman who were hiding not far away, had great changes in their expressions and their breathing was disordered.

Ao Huang stared at the big dragon eyes, looked at Lei Yuanting and Zong Wenxiong, and cursed: "Two beasts! Fang Yun ripped off your family's ancestral graves, or fell in love with your two wives? He actually incited the execution hall to use the heart-breaking punishment ! Fortunately, this great scholar of Xingdian Bing You are using this method to treat the ancestors of the human race. Damn it, if you dare to use the punishment of heart-breaking, I will block the door of your two families every day! Is this dragon Ao Huang? , let Zongsheng hit me!"

With the real dragon taking the lead, many older scholars also abandoned their dignity and cursed loudly.

"The dignified Semi-Saint family actually killed a human genius. It's really the heart of a wolf!"

"It's so vicious! I only thought that the two of you were just delaying Fang's luck in participating in the Jinshi Examination. I never thought that you actually harbored evil intentions and wanted to execute the other party's heart-breaking punishment!"

"Thousands of realms are boundless, and there are countless human races. Who can survive the heart-killing punishment? Even the saints may not be able to survive!"

"Shame on the human race!"

Zong Wenxiong and Lei Tingyu are great Confucians, and they can remain calm even if they are criticized by thousands of people, but they are unbearable to be scolded by the real dragon Ao Huang, especially Lei Tingyu, who is not even afraid of the Kongsheng family, but only He was afraid of being in trouble with the Dragon Palace, but he was also afraid that the rest of the human race would think that the Lei family was at odds with the Dragon clan.

Lei Tingyu coughed lightly and said: "You have misunderstood. Brother Xu just mentioned it casually. Since he said there is no need for 'heart-breaking questions', naturally he will not use it."

Zong Wenxiong gave Xu Changjing a dissatisfied look. Now all fools know that Xu Changjing was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Zong family and the Lei family, especially with their attempt to use "heart-breaking questions" on the other side, so he deliberately said and denied it, breaking the relationship between the Zong family and the Lei family. The Lei family's intention to harm the party's luck.

Fang Yun was facing the punishment of the Moon Tree God, and he had already seen through life and death a little bit, but when he heard the four words "heart-breaking question", he still broke into a cold sweat on his forehead, and felt an extremely strong disgust for the Zong family and the Lei family in his heart, and A hint of hatred.

"If I die under the punishment of the Moon Tree God, I will definitely be regarded as a hero by the human race. After all, I am the first person in the human race who is not a semi-saint and is attacked by the Moon Tree God's punishment. Publicizing my death will inspire the human race to fight against monsters. Very hateful. But these. In order to prevent me from being glorified after my death, people even want to punish me with heart-breaking punishment. If I can't bear it, my reputation will be lost. Even if I die due to the punishment of the Moon Tree God, the human race will not publicize me in a big way and let me bear the burden for thousands of years. Stigma.”

Fang Yun was in the middle of the situation and thought very thoroughly. Even if the possibility of using heart-breaking punishment was very small, the intentions of the Lei family and the Zong family were too vicious. Fang Yun became more and more angry in his heart. He was about to die, but the Lei family and the Zong family even wanted to pour dirty water on them and persecute them. They were worse than animals and betrayed morality and benevolence!

Fang Yun looked at Lei Tingyu and Zong Wenxiong coldly, clenched his fists, and slowly said with spring thunder: "I, Fang Yun, swear today that if we survive this catastrophe, the hatred of today and the hatred of this time will be eliminated. I will pay it back a hundred times! This oath is established in Wen Dan and will be kept in Wen Palace forever and ever!"

Suddenly there was a faint burst of thunder in the sky. Everyone looked up, but the sky was cloudless and there was no thunder or lightning.

Lei Tingyu and Zong Wenxiong looked at each other and remained silent. If the two great scholars argued with Fang Yun at this time, not to mention the guilt in their hearts, even if they were justified, they would not be able to win with force.

Yang Yuhuan was puzzled and looked at Fang Yun blankly.

The little fox also stared at Fang Yun and blinked constantly.

"Beast! Beast! Beast..." an old scholar cursed loudly.

"brute!"

"Beast!" Many people shouted.

"Beast! Beast..."

Tens of thousands of Jingguo scholars yelled in unison, even if the other party was a great scholar!

"Beast!" Ao Huang yelled.

"Yeah!" Nunu angrily waved her little paws at Lei Tingyu and Zong Wenxiong.

Lei Tingyu and Zong Wenxiong's faces were as dark as water, with a faint aura exuding from their bodies. They had to mobilize the power of great scholars to resist the insults.

The other great scholars and scholars were silent and listened quietly to the anger of the Jingguo scholars.

The academicians behind Lei Tingyu and Zong Wenxiong lowered their heads and were frightened. The academicians could withstand such a level of attack, but if the academicians encountered it, they would most likely be injured and would need to rest for at least two or three years to recover. As for the scholars at Hanlin and below, if they encounter this situation, the Wen Palace may not be able to survive.

The anger of scholars is the most powerful sword!

After a while, Jiang Hechuan said: "Listen to the instructions of the great scholar in the Hall of Punishment."

There was undoubted power in his voice, and all Jingguo scholars couldn't help but stop talking, their anger a little relieved.

Xu Changjing said slowly: "Lei Jiu is a Jinshi of the Holy Academy. He once killed demons and barbarians and made great achievements. Although Fang Yun is the ancestor of poetry, the Xu Sheng statue has not entered the Xu Sheng Garden and has no privileges before the law. Fang Yun is temporarily under the custody of the Jingguo Criminal Department. I will go to other places to investigate. If Fang Yun is not guilty, I will strive to restore his innocence. "

Those ordinary people couldn't understand, but Fang Yun was grateful to Xu Changjing.

The Xingdian always rarely speaks in words when handling cases. As a great scholar, Xu Changjing said such meaningless words as to restore the innocence of others. This obviously had a subtext: He also knew that Fang Yun was innocent in this matter, but the Xingdian had the laws of the Xingdian, and with the addition of Zong Family Lei The family and many other forces are putting pressure on him, and he must act according to the rules. He will clear up Fang Yun's grievances within the rules, but the time cannot be determined.

"Do you have any complaints?" Xu Changjing asked slowly at the end. The world was so cold that everyone, including the great scholars, felt a cold wind blowing behind them, which was creepy.

No matter how kind Xu Changjing is, no matter what his stance is, he is still a member of the Hall of Punishment.

"Students have no complaints and obey the law." Fang Yun said.

"Where is the Minister of Justice of Jingguo?" Xu Changjing glanced at everyone.

I saw a Hanlin wearing a third-grade official uniform stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Yu Shangshu inspected Yanzhou the day before yesterday. I am under the Ministry of Punishment, the left minister Yuan Su, and is in charge of the affairs of the Punishment Department."

"Well, Fang Yun will be handled by the Criminal Department. If anything goes wrong, you are the only one to ask!"

"I understand," Yuan Su said.

Minister of Literature Jiang Hechuan and some Jingguo officials present looked at Yuan Su in astonishment and wanted to say something, but found that it was useless.

Fang Yun stared at Yuan Su. This man was the second person in the Ministry of Punishment, second only to the Minister of Punishment, but he was a left-wing prime minister through and through. Normally, with Yu Shangshu suppressing him, he could not make any big splash in the Ministry of Punishment, but now Yuan Su is the head of the Ministry of Punishment in the capital.

Fang Yun looked at Jiang Hechuan and other officials again, and immediately understood that Yu Shangshu had been transferred deliberately, and the left prime minister had been preparing for today!
