After the "Ten Countries in One Voice" speech, everyone was more aware of Fang Yun's contributions. More people realized how great Fang Yun's contributions were.
Jingguo people didn't know about the "Ten Countries in One Voice" speech. After the speech, the empress dowager toasted and everyone began to eat. After a few rounds of toasting, they would enter the next stage, which was to comment on the poems of all the Grand Scholars.
However, from time to time, people would look at the pale-faced Grand Scholar youth beside the left prime minister. After a while, that youth would have to toast Fang Yun.
Fang Yun didn't care about others and lowered his head to eat. After eating a few mouthfuls, he received a letter. He looked down and saw that it was from Zong Wude.
"Thank you! I knew you wouldn't be so ruthless as to kill me! Good brother, you're loyal! "
Fang Yun was puzzled. He couldn't see Zong Wude's tone, so he didn't know if Zong Wude was joking or misunderstanding something.
Fang Yun was about to reply when he received many letters.
"Hahaha, fortunately, I've finished my speech. Otherwise, I would have been laughed at like Zong Wude." Li Fanming sent a letter from the State of Qi.
"You're late. It would have been perfect if you'd appeared when Zong Wude was praising you." Yan Yukong's words were full of regret.
At this moment, not only was Fang Yun playing with his official seal, but a large number of scholars also received letters from their friends and lowered their heads to read.
"What? Ten Countries in One Voice! Praise to the world! Hahaha … As expected of Fang Xusheng! "
Fang Yun looked in the direction of the voice and didn't realize what had happened. After all, the "Ten Countries in One Voice" and "Praise to the world" had never happened before. Only a few words were recorded in some books.
"A Grand Scholar in the Yun State this year is a good friend of mine. He was jealous when he sent the letter, haha …"
"I heard that the palace in Gyeongo is in chaos."
"The palace in Gyeongo is still fine. The Lei family will probably smash a few thousand plates and bowls."
"It's not just broken plates. Just now, a friend from Jia State sent a letter saying that Lei Shushan, who had the highest chance of winning, was disqualified. After hearing the "Ten Countries in One Voice", his courage cracked! It's a pity that it wasn't smashed. "
"That's great!"
Many scholars in the palace were talking about it.
Fang Yun quickly realized what had happened. He nodded lightly. Since he was going to flaunt his achievements to the world, the benefits he would receive were too great.
After all, Saint Origin World was a remote place. There would definitely be people who didn't know his name. Even if they did, they wouldn't understand him. Now that he was bragging about his achievements, even if those people covered their ears, they would still hear him.
As for the attack on the enemy, needless to say, those people clearly rejected Fang Yun. However, they had no choice but to listen to all of Fang Yun's deeds, which would inevitably conflict with many of their ideas, leading to problems with their literary courage.
The scholars present sent letters to their friends in other countries, wanting to know the specific situation of the Ten Countries Same Sound.
Half an hour later, many people had eaten and drunk their fill, and began to chat.
The Empress Dowager coughed softly and spread her message to the entire Imperial Palace through the conch.
Everyone immediately stopped chatting and looked at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager said in a mellow and gentle voice, "When the meal is full, the wine is drunk. According to the rules, let's invite last year's top scholar to propose a toast to this year's top scholar, so that the wisdom of our human race can be passed down year after year, generation after generation. "
Sitting next to the Minister of the Left, a young man in a scholar's uniform stood up with a dark face. He picked up the wine cup on the table, poured some wine, and slowly walked toward Fang Yun.
The whole place was silent as everyone looked at him. Their expressions were different. Some were gloating, while others sighed in pity. Who would have thought that the two of them would end up like this?
The banquet for the top scholar had a fixed procedure. After eating and drinking, the top scholar of the previous year would propose a toast to this year's top scholar!
Ji Zhibai's literary courage cracked. He originally lived in the Juwen Pavilion on Ba Kong Mountain, but was forced to return by the Empress Dowager's imperial edict.
Since entering the Imperial Palace, Ji Zhibai had been sitting silently. When he heard the Ministry of Rites' official list of Fang Yun's achievements in Ning An County, he almost couldn't hold back. However, he was stopped by a look from Mount Liu.
After showing off his achievements, Mount Liu glanced at him indifferently. He could only suppress all of his anger and unwillingness, and slowly walked toward Fang Yun with his wine cup.
Ji Zhibai felt as if there were two mountains hanging on his legs, and he couldn't move an inch.
If the cracking of his literary courage in Ning An County was the greatest blow of his life, then today's toast in the Imperial Palace of Jingguo was the greatest insult to Ji Zhibai.
Ji Zhibai instinctively looked at the two people sitting on the dragon throne in front of Fengtian Hall.
The young monarch had a confused expression.
The Empress Dowager's face was hidden behind a veil, but Ji Zhibai felt the Empress Dowager's gaze was like two sharp blades stabbing into his eyes.
The Left Minister's party's actions against the imperial family and the Empress Dowager had gone beyond normal hostility. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their hatred was as deep as the sea.
Even now, Mount Liu was suspected of poisoning the previous Emperor. He was just less suspicious than the Prince of Kang.
If in the past it was Fang Yun who was fighting back, then this time it was the Empress Dowager who was making a move!
Ji Zhibai's literary courage had only cracked, but it hadn't completely collapsed. However, the Empress Dowager wanted to kill him!
Once the literary courage completely collapsed, even if Ji Zhibai entered Half-saint's former residence or the literary world and was baptized by the Holy Power, he wouldn't be able to restore the literary courage.
The Holy Power could only repair the literary courage, but it couldn't restore the lost literary courage out of thin air. Only Half-saint could do this at a great cost. However, Ji Zhibai was obviously not worthy of Half-saint's help.
Ji Zhibai knew this, but he had to come. If he didn't come, then his teacher, Mount Liu, would be the first to bear the brunt if the Empress Dowager took the opportunity to make trouble at the banquet.
Before the war in the north was clear, Mount Liu couldn't make any mistakes. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager and the others would definitely take the opportunity to completely expel Mount Liu from Jingguo.
Once the situation in the north was clear, the barbarians would win a complete victory and the human race would be in danger. Then, the number of officials seeking refuge with Mount Liu would increase.
Ji Zhibai knew that he had to help his teacher through this period.
Fang Yun also stood up and picked up his wine glass. He looked at Ji Zhibai without a trace of a smile on his face.
Ji Zhibai felt the strong aura of Hanlin and the majesty of Xusheng. He felt guilty and all thoughts of resistance in his heart dissipated temporarily. He said in a low voice, "I congratulate Fang Xusheng on winning the top ten."
Fang Yun nodded and said, "Brother Ji, you're too polite. Today, the first snow fell and the barbarian army is heading south. Jingguo is in the autumn of life and death. We can't be careless. May the people of Jingguo be of one mind and unite against the outside world. Today … "
Fang Yun suddenly scanned the audience and said loudly, "I, Fang Yun, will say the ugly words first. What happened before can be discussed separately. But from now on, if anyone dares to destroy Jingguo's resistance against the barbarians, they will be like Changxi Village! "Fang Yun finished speaking and drank his wine.
Everyone was shocked and looked serious, especially the three words "Changxi Village", which deeply stirred up everyone's mood.
The officials of the Left Minister's party held their breath. The words "Changxi Village" were like an invincible sword hanging over everyone's head.
Ji Zhibai was so angry that his face turned red. His hands were trembling and the wine kept spilling out, but he didn't dare to say a word.
At this moment, he only felt endless sorrow. As the top scholar last year and the most valued disciple of the Left Minister, his only purpose was to stand out Fang Yun's strength and integrity.
Fang Yun obviously didn't care about him and didn't even bother to attack him. But he naturally showed everyone the fate of Fang Yun's enemies and took the initiative to become the chicken that Fang Yun killed to warn the others.
