Saint of the Confucian way

"It seems that Mr. NIE is in a high position in the selection court. He can point out the poetry and articles of the four talents. I should think more about it." Fang Yun smiled and there was no need to keep his hand on Qing officials.

Nie changju's face flashed an awkward color. Many scholars present looked at him with a smile and wanted to harm Fang Yun. In the future, when someone talked about Nie changju, it was bound to say that the Hanlin, which taught Xu Sheng to write poetry and thought it could determine the ranking of the four talents, was a great stain for an ordinary Hanlin.

Nie changju seemed to have been prepared for it. Suddenly, his tongue burst and Chunlei said: "The Imperial Academy in the lower area is insignificant, but as a minister of the kingdom of Jing, I naturally don't want to see the first of the four talents fall into the hands of the people in the literary world! On behalf of the people of Xiangzhou, I implore Fang Xusheng to compete with Zhang Longxiang in the Imperial Academy and become the first of the four talents in the military reading tower, so as to shake the hearts of the people of Xiangzhou and raise the prestige of our great king country. At the same time, let our military reading tower in Xiangzhou become the first building in the world and overwhelm the Yellow Crane Tower!"

Nie changju said, suddenly half kneeling on the ground.

Many officials were stunned. Only then did they understand that what Nie changju said before was not important, and what Fang Yun said was not important. Nie changju just needed to pave the way, and then forced Fang Yun to compare with Zhang Longxiang in the military reading building.

"On behalf of the people of Taihe Prefecture, I beg Fang Xu Shengli to press Zhang Longxiang, so that the people of Jingzhou can become the first of the four talents, and the Yuejun building in Xiangzhou can become the first floor in the world!" Yan Wu, the governor of Taihe Prefecture, is half kneeling on one knee after the spring thunder.

"I beg Fang Xusheng to raise the prestige of our country and shake the hearts of our people!"

"Please..."

Spring thunder sounded in the military reading building and spread throughout baling city. Millions of people in Baling City heard it clearly.

Most of the people were excited and cheered, especially tens of thousands of people outside the military reading building.

The celebration officials of Yuejun building kept popping spring thunder, and staged a big play almost below.

Even the governors of the two states could not find an excuse to punish them.

The Xiangzhou Jingguan and Jiangzhou officials present frowned and didn't know what to say. Obviously, Qingguan had been prepared long ago, and there may be complex forces such as Qingguo, Zongjia or Lei family behind him.

Everyone knows that once Fang Yun refuses, the popularity in Xiangzhou will plummet, which will have a great impact on the future administration in Xiangzhou. Once Qingguo or Zonglei suddenly create an incident, Fang Yun is likely to be unable to calm down.

Dong Wencong sighed gently and looked at tens of thousands of Baling people outside the city. They became and lost the hearts of the people. I'm afraid those people didn't know what happened in the military reading building. They really thought that the officials who forced Fang Yun to make a statement were for the good of Xiangzhou.

Not long ago, Wei Dongshan, an old man in Xiangzhou who had just been promoted to a bachelor's degree, stood up slowly with a crutch. He was over 90. The wrinkles on his face were deeper than the old bark. His skin was mottled, but his eyes were clear.

As soon as he stood up, all the Xiangzhou officials present got up.

His disciples or retransmitted disciples are all over Xiangzhou, which can be regarded as the Xiangzhou officials of Weidong Mountain Gate. There are more than 100 officials from scholar to Imperial Academy. As long as he cries out, less than half of the Xiangzhou officials will respond.

Wei Dongshan coughed softly, looked at Fang Yun and said, "I'm ashamed. I shouldn't have talked about it, but I'm dying. My only long cherished wish in this life has not been fulfilled and my selfish desire is overwhelming, so I stood up and said a few words."

Without waiting for Wei Dongshan to explain why, Fang Yun recalled this person's information and soon found that Wei Dongshan had led Xiangzhou people to compete with the Qiguo humanities on the Yellow Crane Tower for many times from the age of 30 to 80.

But even so, he never stopped helping Yuejun building fight for the first floor in the world. All Xiangzhou only respected him and did not ridicule him.

Even the Kai people who have repeatedly surpassed Wei Dongshan have changed from ridicule at the beginning to respect. Many Kai masters even wrote poems praising him in the Yellow Crane Tower instead of ridicule.

Fang Yun analyzed Wei Dongshan before taking office. He is a typical old fox. He does not please Qingguo and is not completely loyal to Jingguo, but he will never do anything to harm the interests of the two countries. He has been waiting for the price and meets the needs of both sides to make himself and his students grow.

Even when the struggle between the two countries was fiercest, he bet on both sides. Now some of his disciples are Jingguan and Qingguan.

On the way to the military building, Dong Wencong said that Wei Dongshan was a banner of Xiangzhou. As long as he could win over him, it would be equivalent to reducing the strength of Qing officials by 20 to 30%. Dong Wencong tried to win over Wei Dongshan many times, but in vain.

Fang Yun smiled and said, "Mr. moving mountain, but it doesn't hurt to say."

Wei Dongshan raised his head slightly. He was very old, but there was a trace of scholar pride in his eyes.

"Fang Xusheng, if you can press the Yellow Crane Tower and make the Yuejun tower the first floor in the world, then from then on, I will be the running dog of King Ji's sect, and I will be the disciple of the sect. Only you can follow me!" Wei Dongshan's voice was not loud, but it was loud.

"Teacher!" a scholar was surprised.

"Shigong!"

"Wei Lao!"

Screams came and went, and it was hard to imagine that Wei Dongshan would say these words.

Dong Wencong and Fang Shouye looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Nie changju was forcing Fang Yun to compete with Zhang Longxiang. Wei Dongshan would never be bought by Zonglei, but they did the same thing as Nie changju. It was equal to that they worked together to bake Fang Yun on the fire.

Fang Yun smiled at Wei Dongshan and knew that the reason why he stood up was nothing more than his lifelong obsession and lifelong dream, but he was very smart and paid a reward that he couldn't refuse now.

As a virtual saint, you can use any means to govern Xiangzhou, but as the governor of Liangjiang in Jingguo and a person who comes to practice the holy way, you need to pay attention to skills and can't blindly oppress people with power and position.

Fang Yun calculated in his heart that if his side now accounts for 60% of the power of Xiangzhou and at least 75% of the power of Xiangzhou after closing down the Weidong Mountain Gate people, plus the popularity explosion, it will occupy 80% of the power of Xiangzhou.

Nie changju smiled all over his face, bowed his hand and said, "Fang Xusheng, even old Wei has come forward. Can you look down on my Xiangzhou scholar? Look down on my Xiangzhou military reading building."

Fang Yun smiled and said, "Nie Sizheng, you misunderstood. The reason why I was thinking was not to look down on the scholars in Xiangzhou, nor on the military reading building, but on you."

Nie changju was full of shame.

Many scholars secretly praised it, and some Jingguo officials even laughed and made no secret of their mockery.

Fang Yun looked at Wei Dongshan and said, "Mr. Wei, sit down and rest. As for the first floor in the world, let me think about it for a few days. Well, before the Mid Autumn Festival on August 15, how about I give you an answer?"

"Well, before the Mid Autumn Festival, I'll wait for Fang Xusheng's news!" Wei Dongshan arched his hand to Fang Yun and sat down slowly with the help of the people nearby.

Nie changju laughed, his tongue burst, and Chunlei said, "Fang Xusheng is really a hero among people! It's up to you to be the first floor in the world!" then he laughed a few times before taking his seat.

All the people in Baling City cheered wildly, thinking that Fang Yun was going to help Yuejun building compete for the reputation of the first floor in the world.
