The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

On the day of New Year's Eve, Fang Yun did not need to go to the academy to study or practice, and sat lazily in the courtyard of Nanyuan.

Thanks to the power of the Holy Temple, the sky above the capital has been clear, and the warm winter sun fell in the courtyard, making people feel particularly comfortable.

Nanyuan was too big. Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan's new residence was originally an independent courtyard. Later, a door was built to connect them, which was equivalent to living together.

The Fang family was not very accustomed to the huge Quanyuan, but they could only live here temporarily before the construction of the "Zhenguogong Mansion" was completed.

The residence was moved, and the Fang family also gradually changed.

At the beginning, Quanyuan only had the original Fang family and the people who cleaned and protected Quanyuan. Slowly, people from the Fang family of Dayuan Mansion moved in.

These people were basically reliable people selected by Fang Shouye's wife and Cai He's wife.

As Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan's status rose, even if they wanted a simple life, they had to take care of all aspects. A wealthy family had at least hundreds of servants. Even if the Fang family had just become a virtual saint, the number of servants could not be less than one hundred.

One hundred people were easy to choose, but it was too difficult to find people who met many conditions such as clean family background, upright character, no bad habits, knowledgeable and well-mannered.

In Ji County and Dayuan Prefecture, there was a wave of "entering a wealthy family". Countless people wanted to send their children to Fang Yun's house, and even bribed Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Cai, but the two ladies knew the importance of this matter too well. Fang Yun was a virtual saint!

In Panorama Country, the person with the highest status was Chen Guanhai, and the second was Fang Yun!

Now, even the Queen Mother and the King are below Fang Yun!

If Fang Yun attends the morning court, Fang Yun will sit in the first place among the ministers, and even the Minister of Literature Jiang Hechuan will be behind him.

Both ladies knew that there was a sword called "Xingdian" hanging over their heads. After being selected, all people would be examined by the legal scholars of the Xingdian using legal books. If there were any problems, the people of the Xingdian would thoroughly investigate ten clans and five generations.

In just a few days, the Xingdian had found five people with problems. These people themselves had no ulterior motives, but the people behind them were either related to Qing State, King Kang or Zuo Xiang, or Wu State.

Yaoman was powerless to intervene in such matters.

Family affairs were managed by Yang Yuhuan, Su Xiaoxiao, Zhao Hongzhuang and the palace maids. Fang Yun hardly had to intervene. He was completely a hands-off boss at home, but private soldiers were different.

Fang Yun's private soldiers were stationed in a town in the southern suburbs of the capital. This town was a very common "private soldier town" in the Ten Kingdoms. Many scholars' private soldiers and their families were raised in such places.

Countries did not allow a large number of private soldiers, especially monster private soldiers, to live in cities.

The private soldiers of the nobility provided by the military are composed of 2,000 people, all of whom are elite soldiers and generals. There is no change, but the number of demon private soldiers exceeds the original calculation.

The dragon clan is more generous than expected.

There are more than 400 barbarian private soldiers donated by the noble families and the dragon vein barbarians donated by the East China Sea Dragon Palace. There are also ten turtle demon commanders donated by the dragon clan. These ten turtle demon commanders are all pseudo-dragon bloodlines, and their protection ability is stronger than that of the holy son demon marquis. They are specially used to protect Fang Yun.

At present, Fang Yun’s civil private soldiers include five barbarian marquises, fifty barbarian commanders, and 420 barbarian generals. Among them, a mare barbarian marquis is mainly responsible for protecting Yang Yuhuan.

400 private soldiers may not seem many, but the lowest demon rank is barbarian general, and the highest is barbarian marquis.

Barbarian marquis is equivalent to the human Hanlin. Generally speaking, a Hanlin can lead at least 10,000 troops!

In other words, Fang Yun’s 400 private soldiers can at least fight against 30,000 human troops!

This private soldier force is extremely powerful for ordinary Confucian scholars, and Fang Yun is only a Jinshi.

With this private army, Fang Yun is very safe even if he goes to the front line, not to mention in Ning'an County.

Even if a barbarian king comes, this private army can die with the barbarian king!

"Xu Sheng's treatment is indeed different." Fang Yun thought about the private army in his heart, and looked at the good things in Yinjiangbei. A large number of valuable gifts were stored in it, including the gains from the Holy Ruins, the gains from Denglongtai, and the important gifts from various families.

Not long after, Yang Yuhuan came slowly with lotus steps.

"Xiao Yun, it's time for lunch."

"Yeah." Fang Yun opened his eyes and waved to Yang Yuhuan.

Yang Yuhuan secretly looked around and found that no one was there, so she sat on Fang Yun's lap with a red face.

"Don't let Ao Huang see it, his mouth can make people angry to death." Yang Yuhuan said softly.

"It's okay, he went out to attend the New Year's literary meeting, he is not here, but he will be back soon." Fang Yun stroked Nunu.

The little fox lay between Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan like a docile kitten.

"Ah? He attended the literary gathering? Didn't he write a poem called 'mud plum poem' a few days ago, and was laughed at by others?"

"Well, the poem 'one piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces' and the last 'flew into the mud and disappeared' has indeed been laughed at by everyone."

Fang Yun shook his head helplessly. In his previous life, he had heard of poems similar to Ao Huang's poem. It was originally used to teach children to learn numbers. Later, it was spread by rumors that it was written by some famous writers or emperors. Some people even made far-fetched claims that the last sentence of the poem was good, which was ridiculous.

While Fang Yun was chatting, the anti-seed university scholar Feng Chengjue was paying homage to the Demon King.

The palace that was razed to the ground by the power of the two worlds' oath was being rebuilt, but the main hall had been built.

Feng Chengjue half-knelt on the ground, looking up at the Demon King who was wrapped in golden armor.

The Demon King's whole body, including his fingers, was surrounded by golden armor, with only gaps left in the eyes of the helmet mask.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to sneak into the Shengyuan Continent and kill Fang Yun!"

"Fang Yun has become a bait, it is not appropriate to make a move at this moment."

"Wouldn't that mean that Fang Yun would be allowed to grow? Fang Yun's talent far exceeds that of the four great talents. If he is given fifty years... no, only thirty years is needed, he will be able to surpass the ten literary masters and take the title of literary master! He will even surpass Yi Zhishi in the future! The higher his literary rank, the greater the threat to our demon world! Some even say that he will be the next Confucius! Others don't know..."

"Don't talk nonsense about this!" The Demon King interrupted Feng Chengjue.

Feng Chengjue shut up and lowered his head.

As one of the four great talents of the previous generation, Feng Chengjue was so angry that he smashed the study room when he learned that Li Wenying, who was far inferior to him, was named a great scholar. The possibility of being promoted to a great scholar after rebellion is very small, but if Fang Yun can be killed and the help of the Great Sage or even the Ancestral God can be obtained, there is a great chance that he will be promoted to a great scholar of rebellion.

Feng Chengjue really wants to become a great scholar of rebellion, and become the second great scholar of rebellion.

"But, do we just give up on Fang Yun?"

"The Soldier Barbarian Saint left three plans before his death..." The Demon King suddenly shut up.

Feng Chengjue looked up suddenly, looking at the Demon King in confusion, and said, "I heard that the Soldier Barbarian Saint only left two plans, one is to lay a net in the 'Jinshi Spring Hunt', and the other is the plan of 'Three Valleys Battle', especially the second plan, which is perfect. How come there is suddenly a third plan?"

"The third plan is to target..."

The Demon King's voice was the only one left in the empty Demon King Palace. Feng Chengjue listened carefully. No one except him knew what the Demon King said.
