"Ceremony" was originally a ritual used by humans to offer sacrifices to Heaven. However, it was given more meaning by humans.
Everyone in the capital welcomed Fang Yun with a big ceremony. Even though Fang Yun did not like this kind of complicated ceremony, he was still very patient.
In addition to the ceremony, Fang Yun also had to take up the responsibility of encouraging the people because the Barbarians had invaded.
The people of Jingguo needed to be encouraged at this time. It could be said that the good news that Fang Yun was the top ten scholar had greatly reduced the fear of the Barbarians in Jingguo.
After Fang Yun got off the boat, he greeted everyone one by one and chatted for a while at the Sanli Pavilion. He even received poems from three young scholars and commented on them one by one. Finally, he got on the Dragon Horse and went to the Holy Temple of the Jingguo Academy.
Along the way, the people of the capital welcomed him and cheered loudly.
Not only was the Illusionary Divine dream master an honorable name, one would also be able to contribute greatly to the Imperial Examinations of the entire Jing Country. Based on this point alone, the Illusionary Divine dream master's status in the hearts of the people of Jing Country had far surpassed that of Left Prime Minister Liu Shan.
Left Prime Minister Liu Shan was courteous from the beginning to the end. His expression did not change at all. It was only when he entered his own carriage that his eyes darkened slightly.
Mount Liu narrowed his eyes and tapped his knee with his index finger. He was deep in thought.
Fang Yun increased the number of places for the Imperial Examinations, which was a great blow to the Left Prime Minister's party. Many officials left the party in the name of their sons and nephews.
This was because except for the original number of places for the Imperial Examinations in Jingguo, the extra places were almost all obtained by Fang Yun.
For example, the number of places for Jinshi was normally 50, but this year there were 200 to 300 people.
If the sons and nephews of the Left Prime Minister's party were in the top 50, they would be safe. However, if they were in the top 50 and became Jinshi, it was equivalent to receiving Fang Yun's favor.
If they continued to stay in the Left Prime Minister's party, it did not matter whether they were against Fang Yun or not. Their courage would be greatly affected and they would never be promoted to the Hanlin Academy.
It was because of this that the officials of the Left Prime Minister's party were gradually persuaded or criticized by the whole family. They were even accused of delaying the education of their sons and nephews. In the end, they had to leave the Left Prime Minister's party.
Mount Liu in the past, Mount Liu controlled half of Jingguo. But now, Mount Liu's power in the imperial court..
The only thing Liu Shan could rely on was that he and his subordinates still held important positions. Furthermore, these people all believed that Jing Kingdom would be defeated by the demons and barbarians. When the time came, Qing Kingdom and Wu Kingdom would divide Jing Kingdom.
Liu Shan looked to the north.
The Barbarian Race had already moved south. Those who were indecisive would definitely choose to rely on the Qing Kingdom.

..........................

The first step after the Palace Examination was to visit the Divine Temple to express their gratitude to the Saints.
All the Palace Scholars followed Fang Yun and paid their respects to the music.
After paying his respects to the temple, Fang Yun entered the temple alone and closed the door. Fang Yun faced the statues and tablets of the saints.
Suddenly. A beam of divine light descended from the sky, and before Fang Yun could react, he had already entered a state of chaos. It was as if he had lost his sense of time and space and entered an unknown place. Even his thoughts changed and he did not know what he was thinking.
Finally, Fang Yun felt that he was floating in the sky. It was as if he was in the sea of clouds in the sky. Under the warm sun, he was very relaxed and all his tiredness disappeared. His entire body became lazy.
After some time, Fang Yun suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and saw that he was sitting on a soft cloud.
Fang Yun realized that this was the Meteoric Rise. He looked down and saw that it was about two feet long and half a foot thick. It was just enough for one person to stand on. The cloud was like cotton, but it was very delicate. Fang Yun touched it gently and found that it felt very good. It was as if he was stroking a soft rabbit.
The Meteoric Rise was very soft, but it could support people. This was the special ability of the Meteoric Rise.
Fang Yun stood up slowly and found that he was standing on solid ground. It did not feel like he was standing on something soft at all.
At the same time, Fang Yun felt that the cloud was emitting an invisible force to protect him. If he flew at high speed, he would not be affected by the wind and could write poems without any hindrance.
Fang Yun immediately moved the Meteoric Rise to the left. Then, Fang Yun continued to control it and quickly mastered it.
The speed of 'One Step to Heaven' would increase as one's strength increased. The speed of 'One Step to Heaven' under Fang Yun's feet was equivalent to the speed of an ordinary Grand Scholar's Fleeting Poem. It was not as fast as the Hanlin Fleeting Poem.
The advantage of the Meteoric Rise was that it could fly long distances and did not consume a lot of talent. The disadvantage was that it was not as fast as the powerful Meteoric Rise.
If he didn't have "Empty Paper", he wouldn't be able to write anything in the air. Once he used the Swift Battle Poem, he wouldn't be able to write another battle poem. However, on Meteoric Rise, he wouldn't be affected and could easily write battle poems.
Fang Yun flew out of the Sage Temple with the Meteoric Rise, causing the crowd to cheer.
After obtaining the Meteoric Rise, it was the famous parade. The new top scorer had to wear a red robe and fly around the inner city with the Meteoric Rise.
Fang Yun had never been a person who liked to be ostentatious, but parading the zhuangyuan through the streets was a rule. In order to rouse the hearts of the people of Jing Country, Fang Yun could only imitate it. He flew around the inner city and attracted the attention of the entire Jing City. There were also a large number of unmarried girls who chased after Fang Yun through the streets, hoping to gain his favor.
After the parade, it was time to participate in the banquet for the top scholar in the evening. It was also called the Qionglin Banquet in ancient China.
Fang Yun could not refuse this banquet, so he agreed and brought his family back to the Spring Garden.
The Spring Garden was a garden bestowed by the Empress Dowager. Compared to this place, the back office of Ning An County was like a thatched house.
The Spring Garden was Fang Yun's real home in the capital. However, Fang Yun spent much more time in the back office of Ning An County than here.
Fang Yun alighted from the carriage. Just as he was about to enter, he looked around and saw a large number of carriages lined up on the street. There was also a long queue at the entrance.
Fang Yun was very familiar with this scene. They were here to deliver congratulatory gifts.
Fang Yun smiled and greeted the crowd before entering the Spring Garden.
After returning to the Spring Garden, Fang Yun told Yang Yuhuan that he would officially marry her after he won the title of the National Champion. He also told her to prepare herself.
Yang Yuhuan had already considered herself as Fang Yun's wife. However, after Fang Yun said this, she was still very shy. She blushed and quickly walked back to her room.
Nunu thought that Fang Yun had made Yang Yuhuan angry. She rolled her eyes at Fang Yun before running out with her fluffy tail. Little Meteor followed closely behind like a lackey.
Night fell early in winter. Not long after Fang Yun entered the Spring Garden, bright red lanterns were lit everywhere in the capital. The sound of firecrackers could be heard from time to time.
The Empress Dowager had already decreed that this time, Fang Yun had won the title of the National Champion of the Ten Sacred Regions. This was unprecedented. Therefore, there would be a big celebration. The entire capital would be lit up for three days.
No imperial censor wrote a letter to stop this. Even the stupidest imperial censor knew that what the people of Jingguo needed the most was encouragement. The stronger Fang Yun was, the more relieved the people of Jingguo would be.
Unknowingly, Fang Yun was getting closer and closer to Chen Guanhai. He had become the spiritual pillar of the people of Jingguo.
Under the night sky, Fang Yun looked at the north of Jingguo.
"I've already done everything that can be done. With so many innovative technologies, Jingguo will definitely be able to hold on for a long time. Moreover, the new technologies need to be tested. The Hall of Works and Notre-Dame will definitely secretly send a large number of engineers to Mishou to test the new combat mechanisms on the battlefield. In the war between the two races, it will be difficult for me to determine the outcome alone. What I need to do now is to increase my strength as much as possible. I hope that in the final decisive battle, I will be able to display my greatest strength! "
Fang Yun did not place his hopes on the imperial poem. The imperial poem could only be used with Gao Wenwei. For example, the Yellow Dragon of Annihilation could easily kill a Monster King. However, it would be difficult for it to deal with a Monster King. It would be useless against a Monster Emperor, not to mention Half-saint's clone.
When the time came, Fang Yun rode the Dragon Horse limousine to the palace. There was going to be a grand banquet for the top ten scholars.
Before he reached the palace, Fang Yun was shocked by the scene on the Black Tortoise Avenue.
Half of the Black Tortoise Avenue was empty, but the other half was filled with tables and chairs. It was a banquet set up by the palace. Anyone who came here could sit down and eat. This was a reward from the Empress Dowager to celebrate Fang Yun's achievement of being the top ten scholars.
There were at least ten thousand tables here. It was definitely enough for everyone in the city to eat.
When Fang Yun's Dragon Horse limousine appeared, everyone stopped eating and cheered loudly.
Unlike the people of Ning An City, the people of Jingguo were filled with endless joy and anticipation.
Ninety percent of Jingguo people believed that Fang Yun would be the next Half-saint. Many people even stubbornly believed that once Fang Yun became a saint, he would be able to get rid of the grassland barbarians and lead Jingguo to become even more powerful.
Fang Yun's status in the hearts of the people of Jingguo became higher and higher because of the Top Ten Scholars and the meritorious man who won three consecutive valleys.
When Fang Yun saw this scene, he thought of a phrase.
Creating a god.
The Empress Dowager and the officials of Jingguo had put all their eggs in one basket. In order to prevent Jingguo from becoming afraid before the battle and to prevent the people of Jingguo from losing their fighting spirit, they had to promote a hero who could inspire everyone. A hero who was like a saint but also existed.
No one in the entire human race was more suitable than Fang Yun, let alone Jingguo.
The Empress Dowager used the power of the entire country to increase Fang Yun's influence.
Fang Yun was Jingguo's last hope.
When he thought of this, Fang Yun felt a little sad, but he also became more determined.
Before he arrived at the palace, Fang Yun received a letter from Gao Yong, the second place winner of this year's Jingguo Court Examination.
"Don't forget to prepare a poem for the banquet. If nothing goes wrong, someone will ask you to compose a poem. Also, the Minister of the Left and his party are not happy with you. Of course, they won't dare to do anything. They will only try to start a war of words. This is nothing to you. I am just reminding you. "
Fang Yun replied to Gao Yong and expressed his gratitude.
Within two hours, Fang Yun received at least thirty letters warning him to be careful of the Minister of the Left and his party.
Fang Yun sat in the Dragon Horse limousine, sitting calmly on the fishing platform.
"I hope you are smart. Otherwise, don't blame me!"
The Dragon Horse limousine stopped outside the palace. As soon as Fang Yun got out of the limousine, he immediately became the center of attention.
