The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Zong Wuyuan and other clan members were relieved when they heard Dong Sheng's verdict. In the long history of the human race, ten years is very short, and in the history of the clan, ten years is not long. Even for a person, ten years is very short.

Everyone has already concluded that Fang Yun has become the unprecedented "four-time test-taker" in the human race. It is not a big deal to go from a student to a Jinshi in one year, because many people also go from a scholar to a Jinshi in two years, or even from a student to a Jinshi, but it is only one or two years longer than Fang Yun.

What's more, the talent and accumulation required to go from a Jinshi to a Hanlin is dozens of times that of going from a student to a Jinshi, and from a Hanlin to a university scholar, it is dozens of times the total of the previous ones.

Even Yi Zhishi, a genius, became a great scholar at the age of thirty-nine. No matter how strong Fang Yun is, he must be over thirty-five.

Now, there are still eighteen years before Fang Yun turns thirty-five.

In the eyes of all scholars, if Fang Yun wants to be fully grown and can really compete with the aristocratic families head-on, he must become a great scholar.

Even if Fang Yun becomes a university scholar, he is far inferior to the Zong family. The Zong family only needs to suppress him and does not need to be too wary.

Like the current No. 1 Confucian scholar Yi Zhishi, he is a genius, and all the human families treat him with courtesy, because his possibility of becoming a saint is not only high, but most importantly, it is just around the corner. Many wealthy families have already treated the Yi family as a family, and they cannot be careless at all.

If Fang Yun has reached the level of Yi Zhishi, the Zong family will either directly start a dispute over the holy way and attack Fang Yun with all their strength, or shake hands and make peace completely, and the Zong Saint will personally go out to resolve the grievances.

The semi-saint holds the power of heaven, but also has enough heart.

However, it takes too much time for Fang Yun to grow to the level of Yi Zhishi now. In these years, the Zong Saint must continue his holy way and cannot change the holy way because of a Fang Yun who has not grown up.

In ten years, both Fang Yun and the holy families can accept it. After ten years, everyone can set up a library based on their own abilities.

Fang Yun's mouth curled up slightly. Before the major families competed to set up libraries, he would have more means to lead the trend and let those families follow behind and eat dust.

After Dong Sheng issued the order, Qing Jun asked people to quickly bury Qiu Chongshan and Qu Hange, and solemnly stated that they would reward their families.

During this process, Fang Yun observed the officials of Qing State, mainly the officials of Xiangzhou, and found that although the older officials pretended to be calm, they were a little excited and seemed more willing to return to Jing State.

However, most of the young officials frowned, and some even stayed away from their colleagues in Xiangzhou, obviously passing letters to others.

After dealing with Qiu Chongshan and Qu Hange, Zhou Junhu, the general of Jing State who was responsible for the post-victory negotiations, walked in front of Qing Jun. If Jing State failed, the person in charge of the negotiations would be the Minister of Rites.

Zhou Junhu bowed and said, "This time, our Jing State won the literary battle, and Xiangzhou has no objection. Fang Xusheng and General Xin fought against each other in the military way before, and obtained Zhushan Prefecture. Can it be assigned to our Jing State?"

Without waiting for Qingjun to answer, Zong Wuyuan said sternly: "Zhushan Prefecture is the place where the ancestors of the clan showed their holiness, and it cannot be ceded! If you are so deceiving, you will force our Qing State and Jing State to confront each other completely!"

Zhou Junhu raised his eyebrows and said, "From what Zong Hanlin said, is Qingjun joking?"

"Other prefectures can be ceded, but Zhushan Prefecture must not be!"

Zhou Junhu snorted coldly and looked at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun said, "I admire the Zongsheng. Since the Zong family is unwilling to hand over Zhushan Prefecture, let's change it to Linjiang Prefecture."

Qingjun's face became even uglier. Linjiang Prefecture is adjacent to the richest prefecture in Xiangzhou. It not only has its commercial value, but also has great strategic significance.

In those days, the founding semi-saint of Qing State personally entered Jiao Sheng Palace to negotiate with Jiao Sheng. It is unknown what the contest was, but the semi-saint won, and thus Linjiang Prefecture had the privilege of being on the Yangtze River.

All ships from Linjiang Prefecture can sail unimpeded on the Yangtze River, and no Yangtze River water monster can stop them. If a ship is destroyed by a Yangtze River water monster, Jiao Sheng Palace will pay ten times the compensation.

The Yangtze River runs across the Shengyuan Continent, passing through six countries, namely Qing, Jing, Wu, Qi, Gu and Shu. The only ships that are absolutely unaffected by the Yangtze River water monster are the ships of Linjiang Prefecture.

Warships of other countries are not afraid of water monsters, but merchant ships are not. As a result, many businesses doing business on the Yangtze River can only go to Linjiang Prefecture to buy ships, and then use the flag of Linjiang Prefecture for transportation.

Linjiang Prefecture monopolized the shipbuilding and transportation of the entire Yangtze River waterway.

Moreover, Linjiang Prefecture is a very large prefecture, with an area equal to that of three ordinary prefectures, which is one-third of Xiangzhou.

From the perspective of the monarch, Qing Jun would rather give Zhushan Prefecture to Fang Yun, because it is just a symbol, not wealth, but Linjiang Prefecture is different. Without Linjiang Prefecture, the income of the Qing Kingdom's royal family and treasury will be greatly reduced.

Qing Jun pondered and said, "Linjiang Prefecture is different from other places. How about my Qing Kingdom ceding other prefectures and paying a certain amount of compensation?"

Fang Yun said, "If you add a certain number of imperial examination quotas, I will agree not to give up Linjiang Prefecture."

"Fang Yun, don't go too far!" Xin Zhi was furious.

After failing to confront Fang Yun in the military battle, Xin Zhi pinned all his hopes on the victory of Qing Kingdom's literary battle, but now that Qing Kingdom has failed in the literary battle, he will bear the guilt of "losing a prefecture", and his end is destined to be extremely miserable.

Fang Yun's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and he slowly said, "I'll give you five breaths of time to get out of my sight!"

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Fang Yun to suddenly turn his face. Except when he was on the literary battlefield, Fang Yun always convinced people with words and reason, and never did so.

But in an instant, many people figured it out.

Before, Fang Yun came as a guest or even an enemy, and could not go too far in the territory of Qing. But now he is the winner and the owner of this place. If he is polite to the rude Xin Zhi at this time, then Fang Yun, the Duke of Zhenguo and the Void Saint, is too weak and can be bullied.

The people of Jing held their heads high and were proud.

The people of Qing, however, all looked bitter. It was too obvious. Fang Yun was telling them that Xiangzhou was already the territory of Jing. Want to act wild? Get out!

Qing Jun turned his head and glared at Xin Zhi fiercely, angrily scolding: "As a governor of a state, he actually offended the Void Saint with his words. It's extremely rude! Come on, send General Xin back to the capital!"

Xin Zhi took a deep breath and was furious, but seeing the cold eyes of Qing Jun and Zong Wuyuan, he silently lowered his head, turned around with the guards, and walked out.

After walking a few steps, Xin Zhi suddenly murmured: "Three thousand miles from my homeland, twenty years in the palace. A song of "Mulan Ci", tears fell in front of the king. I never thought that I, Xin Zhi, would end up like this because of a mere dancer. Ridiculous, pathetic!"

Qing Jun clenched his fists, his teeth chattered, and he suppressed the urge to curse Xin Zhi.

Fang Yun was stunned. Xin Zhi recited this poem at this time, obviously saying that he was like the dancer, who was loyal to Qing Jun, but ended up being wronged and humiliated, tears fell in front of the king, accusing Qing Jun of not considering his merits.

Everyone in Jingguo was happy, secretly praising Fang Yun for writing a great poem, which could be used in multiple ways, making Qingguo fight each other.
