The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"I've met Fang Xusheng!" Everyone in front of Zuo Ye's gate took the initiative to greet him regardless of their official position or literary status, including Zuo Ye's prime minister.

"Good morning everyone." Fang Yun returned the greeting politely and glanced at everyone.

In an instant, Fang Yun could remember the faces and expressions of hundreds of people. Whether they were sincerely welcoming or pretending to welcome them, whether they had grudges or resentments, Fang Yun could guess 70% to 80%. As for the other 20% to 30%, either The self-cultivation is extremely deep, and it can be covered up with the power of the miscellaneous family, making it difficult to see through.

However, everyone knows who is in which faction.

After Fang Yun returned the gift, his brows moved slightly.

Ji Zhibai's expression was wrong, and it was slightly different from his attitude at the hunting ground a few days ago. Although this difference was subtle, it made Fang Yun feel strange.

Fang Yun asked Yang Yuhuan to go to Qiao Juze's family first, and then to the Jinshi who were participating in the spring hunt. He was wearing a Jinshi civil uniform, not the official uniform of the Zhenguo Duke.

Walking closer, Fang Yun cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Ma Chaoming, Brother He Ludong He, Brother Sun Mingsun and Brother Shen Haochen for their promotion to the Imperial Academy."

The four of them returned the salute in unison, and Ma Chaoming, the poetry maniac, said with a smile: "The four of us are going to jointly hold an Hanlin banquet in a few days to celebrate our promotion to the Hanlin. Fang Xusheng must be there, and he will not return until he is drunk!"

"That's natural."

Ji Zhibai smiled and said, "I think it would be better to wait a few more days, wait for the other middle-aged seniors to be promoted to the Imperial Academy together, and then hold an Imperial Academy banquet with more people!"

Everyone laughed.

Some leftist party members looked at Ji Zhibai with displeasure, but they did not expect that Ji Zhibai would actually help Fang Yun.

"By the way! I just got good news from the Holy Court. The Chunyang Apricot Grove and Jujing Quanxiang in the hunting ground have been moved outside the hunting ground by the Eastern Saint King Jinglong. They will become one of the holy places for doctors. The Ancient Land of Huangcheng If you have made great achievements, you can go there to meditate. Logically speaking, all the doctors who go there to meditate will call you teacher.”

He Ludong smiled and said: "Fang Xusheng, since you have created a holy land for doctors, when can you create a holy land for military experts?"

Ma Chao took a look at He Ludong and said, "Can the Holy Land of Doctors and the Holy Land of Soldiers be the same? The Holy Land of Doctors only requires relevant medical knowledge and visions to be formed, but the Holy Land of Soldiers requires a real bloody battle! The place where Sun Tzu destroyed the capital of Chu State, Sun Bin's battle to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, Bai Qi's battle of Changping, etc. all formed holy places for military strategists. Fang Xusheng could hardly major in military training, so how could he lead troops in battle? "

"That's not certain. Anyway, you have seen his military skills, which are extremely magical. Even if I have led the army for many years, I can't compare to them." He Ludong said.

Fang Yun was moved in his heart and said with a smile: "General He, since you have been promoted to the Imperial Academy, your official position will definitely be promoted again. I wonder where General He wants to take up his post? Is there any military order from the Marshal's Mansion?"

An unconcealed joy flashed across He Ludong's face, but he quickly returned to normal and said: "The military order has not been issued yet. Since the north of Jingguo is tight, the grass barbarians will go south sooner or later, and I would rather go to the north to serve the country."

"The general is not afraid of dangerous situations and is a role model for our generation. I wish the general a prosperous military career and a high literary career!"

"Thank you Fang Xu for your kind words."

"By the way, if General He goes to the north and meets Zhang Poyue, he will definitely help me get the Eagle Demon Commander he owes me."

"I've heard about this too! If you give him a song, 'The lotus leaves in the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers in the sun are exceptionally red', he's just giving you a handsome head. It's really a huge profit! When I take office, Fang Xusheng Can you send me a poem?"

"Then it's settled." Fang Yun said with a smile.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and suddenly, there was a roar from the main entrance of the palace, and then it slowly opened.

The whole audience was shocked.

"What's going on? Why open the main entrance?"

"Could it be that the guards opened the wrong door? The main entrance of the palace is related to the state. Opening the main entrance indiscriminately is against etiquette!"

"It shouldn't be..."

In the midst of everyone's doubts, the palace gate was officially opened, and an imperial eunuch spoke loudly: "The Queen Mother has decreed that Fang Xusheng led the Jingguo Jinshi to take the lead and promote the prestige of our country. This is a rare event in a thousand years. The main gate is specially opened. Welcome thirty heroes!”

"I see!"

"Deserving it, Fang Xusheng is worthy of opening the front door!"

"Yes, Fang Xusheng is qualified to take the main entrance because of his status as Xusheng, let alone accomplish such a shocking feat!"

Everyone was overjoyed, especially those small officials or young people. If they could enter and exit through the main entrance, it would be a very high honor, even rarer than receiving a gift from the royal family.

Jiang Hechuan had a smile on his face, as if he had expected it. He stroked his white beard and said, "Thirty heroes, please enter the palace first."

The other Jinshi hesitated, and then looked at Fang Yun together.

Fang Yun couldn't move, and even if they were beaten to death, they wouldn't even dare to take a step.

Fang Yun nodded lightly, raised his hands towards the palace and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness."

After saying that, Fang Yun walked towards the main entrance, followed by the other twenty-nine Jinshi.

In the palace, music sounded, signaling the beginning of the early spring literary event.

Entering the main entrance, Fang Yun looked up and saw that the palace was divided into three parts by Fengtian Gate and Jingshui River. Each of the three parts was equipped with a large number of tables and chairs, forming three levels of seats.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, Fang Yun and others walked from the main entrance of the palace to Jingshui Bridge, passed through the lowest seats, and then walked to Fengtian Gate and left the middle seats.

Finally, everyone came to the square in front of Fengtian Hall. Only those with the highest status in Jingguo and the thirty heroes could sit here.

This year's seats are different from previous years.

In previous years, the seats of the great scholars, university scholars and royal relatives were located in the place closest to the Fengtian Hall. After that, there was a huge round table shared by the thirty Jinshi, which was only in front of the Hanlin seats.

But today, the huge round table covered with a red tablecloth is just under the steps of the Fengtian Hall.

Today, the thirty heroes are the chief of Jingguo!

The newly promoted Jinshi were just excited, the young Jinshi were just emotional, but the middle-aged Jinshi were all in tears.

These Jinshi participated in the Ten Kingdoms Spring Hunt many times. Before each early spring literary meeting, although they were not ashamed, they were also ashamed. Fortunately, no one blamed them, after all, they tried their best.

At each early spring literary meeting, these people lived a miserable life and wished it would end early.

At each early spring literary meeting, they would imagine the scene of the celebration of the powerful country, and always felt ashamed to face the people of Jingguo.

But today, they straightened their chests and raised their heads. They can sit here upright, no longer ashamed, no longer self-blaming!

The tears of the middle-aged scholars blurred their vision. The tears seemed to block everything between heaven and earth, except for the young but tall figure.

Fang Yun was leading them to continue moving forward, just like in the hunting ground of the scholars, Fang Yun faced hundreds of thousands of monsters and the Lord of Plague!

Every scholar seemed to see the future of Jingguo, not behind Fang Yun, not under Fang Yun's feet, but on Fang Yun's shoulders!

The thirty scholars walked forward step by step, forming an invisible resonance.

The tens of thousands of people behind them were also infected, and many scholars walked more firmly and their eyes were clearer.

Because they also saw the future of Jingguo, on Fang Yun's shoulders!

An old woman over seventy years old, wearing a first-class imperial robe, held her grandson's hand and whispered: "Remember that back, remember to follow him all the time."

"Why?" The child was puzzled.

"Because he is leading the way for the human race."
