Looking at Ji Zhibai and listening to Fang Yun's words, everyone realized that not only had Fang Yun's status changed, but his attitude had also changed. He finally looked like Duke Zhen and Xusheng.
If it had been before, Fang Yun would have pretended to be polite to Ji Zhibai, or he would have hidden a needle in the silk floss to attack Ji Zhibai. But now, with his true heart, he didn't care about the reaction of the Left Prime Minister's party and openly expressed his thoughts.
A Jinshi official not far from Left Prime Minister Mount Liu said, "Fang Xusheng's threat is too overbearing!"
"Get someone with a higher position." Fang Yun didn't pay attention to that person and sat down.
Everyone was stunned, and then they suddenly realized that Fang Yun was wearing a white robe. He was already in the Hanlin Academy!
Even in the All Holy Families, the Hanlin Academy was a high-ranking official. Even in Wu Guo, where soldiers were like rain and generals were like clouds, the Hanlin Academy could still lead 50,000 soldiers and was a powerful official.
In Jingguo, the Hanlin Academy was at least a Secondary Grade Three official.
"Fang Xusheng, you're so impressive. What if I say you're overbearing?" An old man said in a deep voice.
Everyone looked toward the source of the voice. The old man was wearing a Hanlin Academy uniform and had white hair. He was the new Minister of Personnel, Gu Mingzhou. He was a senior Hanlin Academy official. After the Wenqu Heavenly Award, some people said that he could become a Grand Secretary in two years.
"Oh, so you're going to kidnap and sell people and then kill officials, or stop Jingguo from resisting the barbarians?" Fang Yun asked.
Gu Mingzhou was not affected by Fang Yun's words at all. He said, "The Notre-Dame hasn't closed the coffin for the Changxi Village incident. Jingguo impeached you every day. You're too crazy to use this incident as an example."
"Yes, you're not crazy to say that Changxi Village kidnapped and sold people for many years. You're not crazy to say that they imprisoned and killed hundreds of people. You're not crazy to say that they killed officials and resisted arrest with weapons. I'm just using them as an example, and you're saying that I'm crazy. Demons and barbarians are going to the south. War is about to begin. Jingguo will be a soldier. I don't have time to argue with you. If you have guts, do it. You want to compete with me in killing demons and barbarians? Otherwise, I'm not interested in fighting for your rights and benefits. "
Fang Yun didn't hold back.
Gu Mingzhou was about to refute, but the Empress Dowager said, "Enough, today is a joyous day, my beloved subjects, let's not talk about other things. Let's start the evaluation of all the poems of this year's Grand Scholars. All the Grand Scholars will be awarded official positions. "
Gu Mingzhou had to shut up.
Next, some young scholars and some old scholars who wanted the Literary Name went to the high platform to evaluate the works of this year's Grand Scholars.
Seventy percent of the people commented on Fang Yun's work, while the other thirty percent had no choice but to change to another poem because the person in front of them had commented too well.
Appreciating poems and essays was a common occurrence, especially at the banquet for the Zhuangyuan. Everyone wanted to promote their own literary reputation, and also to praise the Zhuangyuan in the court examination. If someone didn't like a poem, they would criticize it after the banquet.
A person had just finished reviewing a poem by Gao Yong and hadn't walked off the platform. Ji Zhibai went up.
Many people frowned. Ji Zhibai went up. It meant that today's banquet wouldn't be smooth sailing.
Some people looked at Mount Liu. Mount Liu looked amiable, as if he was really part of this festive day.
Ji Zhibai walked up to the high platform and smiled. "Everyone must think that I'm criticizing Fang Yun's poem. Then I can only say that I'm disappointing everyone. I'm going up to praise Fang Yun's poem! Since I like all the poems that Fang Xusheng wrote in Ning An, I'll review them one by one. "
"The first poem, 'The Sea Calming Record', is quite extraordinary. At the end of the poem, 'The title of Marquis is not my intention. I hope that the sea will be peaceful ', forming a powerful battle poem. In exchange, Li Daoyuan and Li Sheng's World Water Map killed hundreds of thousands of water creatures. However, I think that although this poem is strong, it's not because of the Sea Calming Record, but because of the line, 'The title of Marquis is not my intention'. In Fang Xusheng's eyes, he didn't care about the title of Marquis, Duke, or King. Fang Xusheng's real intention was naturally above the title of King! I admire Fang Xusheng's straightforwardness. I, Ji Zhibai, only thought about it. I definitely wouldn't dare to be as domineering as Fang Xusheng! "
The original meaning of 'The title of Marquis is not my intention, I hope that the sea will be peaceful' was that Fang Yun didn't care about the title of Marquis. He only wanted to expel the water creatures and bring peace to the human race.
Now, Ji Zhibai misinterpreted it to mean that the title of Marquis wasn't enough to satisfy Fang Yun. Fang Yun needed the throne, he wanted to be an emperor!
Ji Zhibai continued, "Fang Xusheng's ambition is unattainable. I originally doubted it, but after this poem, 'The Sea Calming Record', Fang Xusheng suddenly wrote 'Ode to the Chrysanthemum'! What poem is this? An Emperor's Battle Poem! It's connected to 'The title of Marquis is not my intention'. That's Sima Zhao's heart … Ahem, I used the wrong words. I apologize to Fang Xusheng. I'll recite this poem so that everyone can feel the killing intent of this Emperor's War Poem! 'When autumn arrives on the eighth of September, a hundred flowers will die after my flowers bloom. The incense soars to the sky and penetrates the peace, the city is covered in golden armor '! Isn't it domineering? What is a chrysanthemum? "
After Ji Zhibai finished speaking, he paused for a moment and scanned the venue.
"The chrysanthemum, in Tao Yuanming and Tao Sheng's poems, is a noble and pure flower. Tracing back to ancient times, in Hanwu Emperor's' Autumn Wind Ode ', it represents the fragrance of a beauty and is more delicate. However, under Fang Xusheng's pen, it's full of killing intent. It actually became a flower of killing! If it was written by someone else, it would be an anti-poem! Of course, Xusheng is the top scholar. His status is the same as the emperor. How can his anti-poem be considered anti-poem? "
Many people in the audience wanted to refute, but if they spoke before Ji Zhibai finished speaking, they would be labeled as unruly and might even have the opposite effect.
At this point, everyone was clear about Ji Zhibai's intentions. He didn't need to attack Fang Yun. Instead, he just needed to distort the poem and make the Jingguo royal family guard against Fang Yun.
Before the Ten Nations, there was more than one important minister who usurped the throne.
"I really admire Fang Xusheng. If he didn't have the world in mind, how could he write such a war poem? However, there is a small flaw in this poem that someone has already pointed out on the list. This poem was written by Fang Yun when he was temporarily in the Hanlin Academy. Not only can it strengthen the armor of the soldiers, but it can also sharpen the weapons. However, the problem is that it can only be called a Hanlin Academy war poem in autumn! Once it is used in spring, summer, and winter, its power is only equivalent to that of a Juren poem. Even the number of people affected will be reduced. "
This time, many people were speechless. Ji Zhibai was right. Unless Fang Yun could make up for the flaw in this war poem, it would probably become the weakest war poem in the Hanlin Academy.
Ji Zhibai smiled proudly and said, "The next poem, 'Picking Mulberry Seeds * Double Yang', is majestic and majestic. It makes up for the lack of Emperor's aura and talent in 'Ode to the Chrysanthemum'. In particular, the sentence 'The vast river is covered in frost for thousands of miles' shows that Fang Xusheng has the world in mind. I'm afraid he thinks that he is the only one who can support Jingguo! Okay, I've taken up too much of your time. I'll end it here! "
As soon as Ji Zhibai finished speaking, the audience retorted.
"Ji Zhibai, your intentions are terrible! You are bringing trouble to Jingguo! "
"Fang Xusheng painstakingly wrote two legendary war poems, but you used them to sow discord. You are a disgrace to scholars!"
"Ji Zhibai, the clown, a pig-like teammate!"
Qiao Juze couldn't help but say angrily, "Ji Zhibai said it well. Only I can betray my country, but Fang Yun is not allowed to write poems!"
As soon as these words came out, the noise gradually disappeared. Qiao Juze and Fang Yun were in the same dormitory in the academy last year and had a deep relationship with Fang Yun. He was usually a modest gentleman, but today he was forced to say such words. It was almost equivalent to scolding Mount Liu for betraying his country.
Ji Zhibai's expression changed. He looked at his teacher, but Mount Liu's expression didn't change. It was as if he didn't hear it.
However, the reflection of the distant rain in Mount Liu's eyes seemed to be thicker.
The atmosphere of the banquet suddenly dropped to the lowest.
After a while, the Empress Dowager said, "The evaluation of the poems is over. Let the cabinet announce the appointments."
Then, the cabinet officials went on stage and announced the appointments of hundreds of Jinshi.
Before the appointments, the cabinet had fully consulted the opinions of all the Jinshi to decide whether they wanted to go to the ancient land, the army, the government, or the Academy of Arts. Then, according to their intentions and ability, they would be assigned.
However, the difference this year was that 70% of the Jinshi would be assigned to the northern army, 10% to the other armies, and very few people would enter the Academy of Arts or become civil officials.
Most of the Jinshi who were assigned to the northern army didn't complain. A few of them were dissatisfied, but they didn't resist because it was the responsibility of every Jingguo citizen.
Scholars had been protected by others until today. After becoming a Jinshi, they should also contribute to the country.
The top 30 people in the court examination were treated differently. Some entered the six academies, some entered the Jingguo Academy to further their studies, and some were sent to become county magistrates or state officials.
The appointment of Fang Yun was a little different.
The Right Prime Minister, Cao Dean, personally went up to the high platform. He was not holding a cabinet document in his hand, but a bright yellow imperial edict embroidered with dragons. It was a much longer imperial edict.
Cao Dean held the imperial edict with both hands and looked at the crowd. He said, "Last year, Fang Xusheng made great contributions one after another and couldn't be rewarded. Hence, the Left Prime Minister wrote that after Fang Xusheng becomes a Jinshi, all his contributions should be converted into literary merit and promoted to an official. In that case, today, as the Left Prime Minister wishes, Fang Xusheng will be promoted to an official. "
This time, some people noticed that there was a slight change in Mount Liu's expression.
Back then, in order to stop Fang Yun from gaining power, Mount Liu could be said to have racked his brains.
Today, he was returning the favor!
The Ten Nations were divided into nine grades and eighteen ranks. Fang Yun's literary merit would be converted into an official position!
Cao Dean opened the imperial edict and first read some of the common words in the imperial edict. After praising Fang Yun, he then read the main text.
"Double Armor Desk Head, Brilliant Three Poems, Holy Path, Eliminated Jingguo's Tianhuang Dynasty, and reclaimed Jingguo's Literary Name. Promotion."
"Before becoming a Saint, Elementary Scholar, killed the Turtle Demon General of the Pseudo-Dragon Bloodline and saved everyone. Promotion."
"During the Dragon Boat Literary Meet, he suppressed Gyeongo and won the championship. Later, he resisted Gyeongo's Literary Fight with his own strength. Promotion."
"As soon as he went to Book Hill, he defeated many students from Gyeongo, Wu Guo, and won more places for Jingguo. Promotion."
"Exposed the Flood Dragon King's sneak attack on the Jade Sea Prefecture. Promotion."
"The 'Three-Character Classic' entered the Holy Hall. Promotion."
"In the Holy Ground, he led the human scholars into the Comet Corridor. Promotion."
"Literary Battle of Xi Province, ten consecutive victories, promotion by two ranks."
…
In the end, Cao Dean said, "In summary, Fang Yun will be promoted to a second-rank official! He will be conferred the title of Junior Master of the Crown Prince. "
