The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 777 Eight-Legged Dance

Fang Yun did not bother with Zong Wuyuan anymore, and took the initiative to say to Qing Jun: "Please take us to our residence. The scholars of the two countries have worked hard all night and it is time to rest."

Qing Jun saw Fang Yun took the initiative to give him a way out, and immediately said: "Please ask Fang Xusheng to move to the State Academy of Literature, and some of the followers please go to Bashan Inn to stay."

Next, the officials of both sides greeted each other. Others took the carriages provided by Qing State, but only Fang Yun's dragon carriage flew down from the sky-walking building ship.

When the eighteen dragon horses flew out, all the dragon horses of Qing State were frightened and knelt on the ground, many carriages fell to the ground, and some dragon horses were even frightened to foam at the mouth and fainted.

When Fang Yun saw this scene, he suddenly understood why Jiang Hechuan asked him to take the dragon horse luxury car for the visit.

When Fang Yun looked back, he saw that many officials of Jing State were smiling.

The officials of Qing State looked extremely bad. They did not expect Fang Yun to be the host even though he was the guest. If this matter was spread, those who had grudges against Qing State would be very happy and would continue to spread it with exaggeration.

Although this matter was small, it was related to the dignity of the country. No one wanted to be embarrassed. What if the "Literary Newspaper" said "The Void Saint came to Xiangzhou, and the Qing State bowed its head", directly scolding the scholars of Qing State as beasts.

Fang Yun did not care much, got on the dragon horse luxury car, and followed the Qing State's convoy to the state literary academy for accommodation.

Fang Yun kept everything simple. After staying at the Xiangzhou literary academy, he did not sleep even though he had been running all the way, but studied as usual.

However, the slight difference was that he carefully recalled the battle of the great scholar today and the battle over the Yangtze River several times, and deeply imprinted every detail he saw in his mind.

Before going to bed, Fang Yun recalled the memories of the ancient demon inheritance. In a few days, he was going to start sorting out the "Ancient Demon History" and slowly write a book with the "Emperor Canon". The two sets of history books must be voluminous, and they must be published one by one, and there is no rush.

These days, Fang Yun has been receiving letters from famous medical experts, who hope that Fang Yun will attend medical conferences in various places. Fang Yun really has no time, so he declined one by one.

Fang Yun knows that famous medical experts from various countries have been arguing about the "Plague Theory". If Fang Yun had not only published the first half, Dong Sheng would have directly used his holy power to guide the "Plague Theory" into the Hall of Saints. The clues revealed in the hunting ground are really amazing, and even a fool can see that this book is extraordinary.

However, Fang Yun never revealed the details of febrile diseases, and those famous medical experts never got any results.

Medical books at the level of the Five Wonderful Saints almost all have the potential to establish a school.

Fang Yun woke up on time in the morning, had breakfast with the officials of Jing State, and then went to the palace of Qing Jun in Baling City together.

The Academy of Literature is too solemn, the government office is too old-fashioned, and the restaurant is too frivolous. Only the palace of the king is the most suitable for formally receiving foreign envoys.

The officials of the two countries will spend the whole morning in a friendly atmosphere. Even if the two sides are about to engage in a literary war, they must first use courtesy and then force, and wait until after the banquet.

The Baling Palace is located on a mountain outside the city of Baling. The whole mountain has been transformed by the power of the great Confucian scholars. The mountain is like a garden, and the garden is like a mountain. People can no longer tell whether this place should be called a mountain or a royal garden.

Outside the Baling Palace, soldiers are densely packed. The outer perimeter is the state army stationed in Xiangzhou, and the inner is the royal guard.

Qing Jun personally greeted at the door, and then walked in side by side with Fang Yun.

The Baling Palace was originally a place for leisure and play, but now there is a guard every two or three steps, and the protection is strict.

Now, the people of Qing don’t want Fang Yun to die the most.

Once Fang Yun dies in Qing, Qing will bear the infamy for thousands of years, and there will even be certain punishments.

Qing Jun encountered Fang Yun's show of power repeatedly in the early morning, but today he was in high spirits. He introduced the Baling Palace while walking.

"This willow in the pond is a tree from the demon world. It grows in the water and looks like a willow. It can drive away mosquitoes. Fallen leaves are the favorite things of fish..."

"That is a black jade rockery in the deep sea of ​​the East China Sea. When the wind blows, there is a faint sound of tide. It is my favorite rockery stone."

"Look, this is the December lotus. It blooms in January and blooms in December. Every time I see these lotuses, I will think of your masterpiece. I still remember it. After all, the scenery of Pinghu in June is different from that of other seasons. The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun. Good! This poem "Sending Zhang Poyue off at Pinghu" is really a good poem!"

Qing Jun continued to speak with great interest, but the expressions of officials from both countries changed slightly.

Fang Yun still smiled, but he sneered in his heart.

This poem "Pinghu Sending Zhang Poyue Off" is a description of the scenery, but it is also an admonition to Zhang Poyue that he is safe in Jiangzhou and the capital, and he should be more careful in Dingyuan Army, after all, it is not the same as Jiangzhou.

No matter how good this poem is, Qing Jun does not need to recite it completely, but now he recites it in front of Fang Yun, which is to apply it flexibly and warn Fang Yun that Qingguo is different from Jingguo, and it is better to be more careful.

Fang Yun smiled from beginning to end, as if he did not understand.

Some officials of Jingguo were very unhappy, but they did not say anything.

After walking all the way, everyone finally came to the main hall of the temporary palace. This hall is not comparable to the main hall of the imperial palaces of various countries, but it is more than enough to accommodate thousands of people. There are fewer people today than yesterday. Only officials are accompanying. The famous people and young scholars of Xiangzhou are not here, and even the ten old scholars who are about to participate in the literary war are not here.

In the deepest part of the hall, there are not one dragon chair, but two dragon chairs.

There are many tables and chairs on both sides of the hall.

Fang Yun and Qing Jun walked to the dragon throne, exchanged a few polite words, and then sat on the dragon throne.

Fang Yun looked down and saw that he and the officials of Jing State were on the left, while Qing Jun and the officials of Qing State were on the right, leaving a large space in between.

Officials from both countries sat at the table, watching Qing Jun and Fang Yun together.

According to ancient etiquette, these people had to kneel on their seats, but some etiquette had changed, while others had not.

"Play ritual music! Dance the Eight Yi!"

As the music sounded, eight rows of dancers entered the main hall, each row of eight people, dancing gracefully.

The "Yi" in "Eight Yi" means "row". The Eight Yi dance was a ritual dance for the emperor in the Zhou Dynasty. Only when the emperor was present could the Eight Yi dance be performed. The Six Yi was used by the princes, and the Four Yi was the standard for high-ranking officials.

In the past, a doctor in the State of Lu was only qualified to use the Four Yi dance, but he used the Eight Yi dance that was only qualified for the Zhou emperor, which angered Confucius, and thus came up with that famous saying.

The Eight Yi dance in the courtyard is intolerable, what else can't be tolerated!

If even the doctor using the Eight Yi dance can be tolerated, then what else in the world can't be tolerated?

The status of the monarchs of various countries is higher than that of the princes of the time, but lower than that of the Zhou emperor of the time. It doesn't matter whether they send out six or eight rows. If you want to humiliate Fang Yun, you can use six rows. If you don't want to anger Fang Yun, you can use the Eight-Legged Dance.

Fang Yun didn't care, but the officials of Jing State were very satisfied when they saw King Qing perform the Eight-Legged Dance.

After the Eight-Legged Dance was over, the officials of Qing State arranged for people to serve wine and food, and the music changed from the original solemnity to lightness, and let the relatively revealing and beautiful dancers enter the main hall to dance to cheer.

Fang Yun was not as aggressive as last night, but was a little restrained, because after all, he was in Qing State, and if he suppressed Qing State from beginning to end, it would be impolite.

At the beginning, the atmosphere of the banquet was very peaceful. After Fang Yun and King Qing drank a few glasses of wine, the two sides sent ceremonial officials to flatter each other and praise each other. After that, the officials of the two countries ate their own food and basically didn't talk.

At the end of the banquet, an official of Qing State suddenly stood up.
