At the end of October, the first snow was about to arrive.
On the 20th of October, Wen Pao used a large page to report on two things. One was the Mitani Lien Chan incident, and the other was the Changxi Village incident.
The incident that had already caused a lot of commotion was ignited again.
At the beginning, everyone was discussing whether Fang Yun was right or wrong, but later on, they began to discuss the severity of Fang Yun's actions.
Every day, a large number of scholars petitioned for the villagers of Changxi Village at the foot of Mount Fufeng, asking the Punishment Hall to thoroughly investigate the Changxi Village incident and to stop Fang Yun's court examination.
The Notre-Dame refused to accept the petition.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
Those who were truly ambitious, even if they opposed Fang Yun, stopped arguing. Instead, they focused on the north of the human race.
In the north of Ning An City, ten new fortresses were built by the Hall of Works. They formed an arc on the map of Jingguo to protect the land of the human race.
The one million new soldiers had been trained. The second batch of one million new soldiers had begun training. Reinforcements from various countries had also arrived and were ready for battle.
The one million new soldiers and six hundred thousand veterans were organized into sixteen armies. Each army had a hundred thousand soldiers.
Every five hundred thousand soldiers formed a Protectorate Army. Currently, there were three Protectorate Armies, each led by a Grand Scholar.
Grand Scholar Lan Xungu, the Left Minister's right-hand man, was originally in charge of the Yuyang Pass and was bound to take over the Protectorate Army. However, he was investigated by the Punishment Hall and committed suicide because he did not send troops to help when the one million demons and barbarians attacked Ning An City.
Since then, the person with the highest status in the Left Minister's Army was the new General of the Eagle Army, Old Hanlin Tong Luan.
Tong Luan was not a Grand Scholar, so he could not be the General of the Protectorate Army. The Left Minister's power in the army was at its weakest point.
Although Assistant Minister Si Yueqing was a Grand Scholar, he had no military experience. Without military training, he could not be the General of the Protectorate Army.
When Jingguo thought that the Left Minister had completely lost his power, Hanlin Tong Luan was promoted to Grand Scholar. He became the General of the Rear Protectorate Army and restored the power of the Left Minister's party in the army.
As the northernmost city of Jingguo. Ning An City had become the center of attention for many scholars in the world.
Since the beginning of this year, more than fifteen thousand scholars from all over the country had either given up their studies, their official positions, or their families to come to Ning 'an City, choosing to fight against the demons and barbarians together.
Just these fifteen thousand scholars were equivalent to millions of soldiers!
Among the scholars in Ning An City, there were more than 50 old Jinshi. There were also 17 old Hanlin Scholars. Not long after the arrival of the Wenqu Star, 21 old Jinshi were promoted to Hanlin Scholars, and 7 old Hanlin Scholars were promoted to Grand Secretaries.
After the arrival of the Wenqu Star, only one out of ten old Jinshi was promoted to the Hanlin Academy, which was far less than the ratio in Ning An City.
After the news spread, some old Jinshi and old Hanlin scholars prepared to come to Ning 'an City. Even a few old scholars had already set off.
The famous scholar, Elder Hua Jun, had also arrived at Ning An City with a few wives and concubines.
The Literati Star descended. This allowed Ning An City's defensive power to increase by another level!
After Geng Ge, the chief of Ning An City's transport company, was killed by Peng Liuzhao, the Left Minister's party sent a petition to the Notre-Dame for a ruling, but the Notre-Dame refused to do so. Now that Peng Liuzhao was dead, Geng Ge's death was in vain.
The transport company quietly had a new chief. After taking office, he did not make things difficult for Fang Yun, nor did he contact Fang Yun. He only silently took charge of the transport company. Many people in Ning An City did not even know that there was a new Hanlin Scholar.
During the few days when Fang Yun was writing the fifteenth plan, the Minister of Personnel finally could not withstand the criticism from both inside and outside the court. He resigned from his position and requested to be stationed at the Sea of Purgatory. His family was saved.
Because the demons and barbarians were about to invade the south, Ning An City became a huge war machine. Especially the workshops that involved military equipment, one after another rose from the ground. Not only did the textile workshop use Fang Yun's new technology, but all the weapon and defensive equipment workshops were also improved. The cost of processing was reduced to one-fifth of the original, and the quality of the weapons and defensive equipment was at least 20% better.
This was before the Gong people fully understood the new things that Fang Yun threw out.
In the previous battle poem, the power of the "Song of the Precious Sword" was injected into all the weapons of the human race. Within ten years, all the weapons of the human race would become powerful demon-slaying weapons.
The main battle class of the barbarian race was the barbarian soldiers and barbarian generals. Before the battle poem "Song of the Precious Sword" was released, ordinary human soldiers would struggle to fight against ordinary barbarian soldiers even with the power of the battle poem. They basically had no way to fight against barbarian generals. At least a hundred people were needed to fight against a barbarian general.
Now with the demon-slaying weapons, ordinary human soldiers would be on par with ordinary barbarian soldiers. Now, if they met a barbarian general, it would only take a dozen people to seriously injure or even kill him.
After Fang Yun sent the fifteenth plan to the Notre-Dame, the Notre-Dame did not reply.
On the 30th of October, the Dongsheng Pavilion announced a Notre-Dame's news on the list, shocking the entire human race.
Education, people's livelihood, administration, agriculture, prison, history, military affairs, fortification, literature, medicine, and the court examination, a total of ten subjects. Fang Yun obtained an A grade in all of them!
Before the human race could react to this news, the Notre-Dame announced that this year's court examination was over and the results would be released tomorrow.
Announcing that Fang Yun obtained an A grade before announcing the end of the examination meant that not only did Fang Yun obtain an A grade in all ten subjects, but he also obtained an A grade in all ten subjects!
When the news was announced, the scholars who opposed Fang Yun at the foot of Mount Ruofeng were stunned at first. Then, many of them burst into tears.
"An A grade in all ten subjects? In other words, not only did the three Half-saint examiners not punish Fang Yun, but they even thought that he had done a good deed? How can this kind of executioner obtain an A grade before the Half-saint? "
"How can he obtain an A grade before the Half-saint? I don't accept this! "
"I don't accept this either!"
"The rules of etiquette are broken, and the great edifice is about to collapse! The human race is in danger! The human race is in danger! "
"The etiquette established by the human race for thousands of years has been destroyed by Fang Yun! It has been destroyed by the Half-saint! "
"This is forcing us to rebel …"
"Slap!" As soon as the Lei family High Scholar finished saying the word "rebel," a Grand Scholar who was watching from the side rushed over and slapped him.
"If you say another word, I will use my sword to cut you!" the burly Grand Scholar roared.
"You dare to hit a member of the Lei family?"
"The one I hit is a member of the Lei family!" Another young scholar glared angrily at the Lei family's High Scholar. Around him, more than ten scholars surrounded him.
"You … are a disgrace to the educated!" the Lei family High Scholar shouted.
The crowd burst into laughter. They looked at the Lei family with disdain and turned to leave.
In less than two hours, an article appeared on the rankings. It was called "The Death of Etiquette." The title was extremely frightening.
Everyone took a closer look. It turned out that the article was using the Changxi case as a reference to attack Fang Yun. The conclusion was that the etiquette of the human race had been destroyed because of Fang Yun.
Except for a few people who were waving flags and shouting battle cries. Most people were too lazy to reply. However, when they saw some of the replies, they realized that it was actually written by Ji Zhibai.
Thus, many scholars used their poisonous tongues to mock Ji Zhibai.
"How many Ji Zhibai High Scholars are there between etiquette and law?"
"We already know that Ji Zhibai is a pig-like teammate. Let me ask you, if Ji Zhibai rebelled and joined the Demon Barbarian Race, how many years would it take for the human race to conquer the Demon Realm?"
"Ji Zhibai. I heard that you found a job as a janitor? How much do you earn every month? "
"I heard that Brother Ji was promoted from a pig-like teammate to a pig-like county magistrate?"
"Bastard Fang Yun, this official and you can't exist under the same sky! Ah … "
"That's enough, don't be like this. Don't make Ji Zhibai cry. He is the top scholar!"
"Tsk tsk, in Ning An City, the current county magistrate interrogates the previous county magistrate. When Fang Xusheng returns to the capital, this year's top scholar will meet last year's top scholar!"
Those who attacked Fang Yun quickly realized this. Ever since the Notre-Dame announced the end of the court examination, the situation was very delicate. Many people who were originally neutral started to refute them. Many of their words were very harsh. They didn't seem to be fighting back, but rather venting their anger.
Soon, everyone realized a big problem.
Fang Yun got all ten A's. None of the Grand Scholars in this year's court examination could get A's! The best they could get was B's.
Except for Jingguo, all the Grand Scholars in the other countries got A's!
Except for a few Grand Scholars who couldn't help but curse, most of them just smiled bitterly. This was because they had a bad feeling before the Notre-Dame announced the end of the examination.
"Top scholar without A's" was a rather unpleasant title. The Grand Scholars in the other countries who were about to become top scholars wanted to cry but had no tears.
Gyeongo.
Yan Yukong looked up and sighed.
"I took the exam in the same year as Fang Yun. I have eight lifetimes of bad luck! Wait until you enter the academy. He must avenge this grievance! No, plus the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival last year. I want to take revenge twice! "
Fang Yun was reading in his study. When he received the message from the Notre-Dame, he smiled and continued reading. He didn't seem to care about the official seal that was constantly emitting silent waves.
After reading an entire chapter, Fang Yun looked at the letter in the official seal.
"The saber is ready. The dead rabbit and I will visit you in the future to learn from you!" Li Fanming's resentment was written clearly on the paper.
"Fang Xusheng, when you leave the academy and go to the Notre-Dame, don't forget about the bet we made at the Holy Ground! We won! "
Fang Yun had indeed forgotten about it. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that when they were at the Holy Ground, they had made a bet that Fang Yun would be able to get into the top 20 of the Great Confucian Hunting List within three years.
But now, not only was Fang Yun ranked first on the Grand Confucian Hunting List, but he was also given a Sage title. Now that the people who had bet on Fang Yun's abilities had won, the people who had bet on Fang Yun's transportation would have to pool their money and treat them to a flood dragon banquet.
The most common flood dragon banquet had a starting price of 100,000 taels of silver. The best ones didn't have a limit.
Fang Yun immediately sent a group message to the people who had made the bet that day. He asked everyone from the Holy Ground to gather at Confucius Saint. When they left the academy and went to the Notre-Dame to compete for the position of the nation's head, the losers would have to treat them to a flood dragon banquet.
His friends from the Holy Ground were all High Scholars last year. Most of them had participated in the court examination this year. Those who lost felt helpless.
"I will bring two sabers!" Li Fanming had bet that Fang Yun wouldn't be able to get into the top 20 of the Great Confucian Hunting List.
After reading the message, Fang Yun suddenly remembered something important. A faint smile appeared on his face.
This was the first time he smiled from the bottom of his heart after leaving the Three Valleys.
Fang Yun sent a message to the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers, the Four Prime Ministers, the Empress Dowager, and the Notre-Dame, asking them to prepare for the wedding.
Xusheng's wedding was equivalent to the Empress's wedding. The ceremony was unimaginably grand.
The wedding was set to be after the competition.
