Fang Yundao said, "If that's the case, I'll just study behind closed doors and not go out. Besides, I've already told others that I'll only appear at the Chinese Valentine's Festival."
"I'm not afraid of you being in the limelight, but I'm afraid that you'll be tricked by them. You're now the leader of Book Hill, so they won't dare to harm you directly. However, if they beat you fair and square, even Half-saint won't be able to say anything, let alone Jian Mei. Of course, Zhang Poyue will probably secretly take revenge afterwards, "Zhao Hongzhuang said.
Fang Yun remembered Half-saint's instructions after leaving Book Hill. He told him not to be in the limelight.
"Don't worry, I'll say that I caused a commotion in the Literature Palace by forcing my way into Book Hill. I won't stand out," Fang Yundao said.
"That's for the best. They'll definitely use all sorts of methods to provoke you. As long as you don't care, no one can do anything to you, "Zhao Hongzhuang said.
Fang Yun said helplessly, "They're not ordinary people this time, right?"
"They're more than ordinary. I heard that someone from the Xi Family is here too. Shijun saved his life once and he's here to repay her kindness. "
"The Xi Family? The Half-saint family in Gyeongo? The Xi Family where Xi Yunxiao and Xi Sheng are from? "
"Yes. Xi Sheng seems to be in seclusion and hasn't come out for many years. If he knows, he'll be furious, "Zhao Hongzhuang said helplessly.
"Since they're here to repay her kindness, Xi Sheng can't stop them even if he knows."
"Ah … That's why I didn't want you to show up. Although that person isn't the top genius in the Ten Nations and can't be compared to Yan Yukong, he's one of the top scholars in Gyeongo. You're just a scholar. You're too far away, "Zhao Hongzhuang said.
"I understand. As long as I don't lose the Literary Battle, they won't have much of a negative impact on Jingguo."
Zhao Hongzhuang said, "You're indeed sensible. Yes. No matter what they do, as long as you don't come out, they can't do anything to you. They'll leave one day. "
"Mm, don't worry. I won't participate in this Wen Battle," Fang Yundao said.
Zhao Hongzhuang nodded. He smiled faintly and said, "I thought that you would try to be brave. Now, I can rest assured."
Yang Yuhuan's hands were tightly gripping the corners of her clothes. Now, she slowly loosened her grip and her expression became much calmer.
Nuu finished the duck neck and began to eat the duck leg.
Fang Yun remembered Zhao Hongzhuang's identity and asked, "Hongzhuang, do you know anything about the great Confucian Zhenwen in The Peach Blossom Spring?"
Zhao Hongzhuang thought for a moment and said, "The Peach Blossom Spring Ji and the Peach Blossom Spring Ji were originally one, but the Ji was written before he was canonized, so it was only written by a great scholar. As for the "Poem", it was completed after Tao Sheng became a Saint. It was a holy text, and when put together, it was the foundation of Tao Sheng's sainthood, the "Peach Blossom Spring Poem Preface". It was said that he built a 'Xanadu' and swore to save the humans who were captured by the demon race and brought to the demon realm. Unfortunately, until his death, we didn't know if there really was a 'Xanadu'. However, the Tao family swore that there was, and the credibility was very high. After all, there were many Half-saint literary treasures. For example, Zhuge Wuhou's' Eight Front Formation 'created by studying the' Book of Changes', and Chen Sheng's' Mount Guanhai 'exist. "
"Then what about the 'Peach Blossom Spring Poem Preface' and the Xanadu?"
"The Xanadu is naturally gone. The holy text of the 'Peach Blossom Spring Poem' is still in the Tao family, but the 'Peach Blossom Spring Ji' has long been lost, according to Tao Sheng's descendants. Before Tao Sheng became a Saint, when he went deep into the demon realm, he had to abandon the 'Peach Blossom Spring Ji' in order to protect hundreds of thousands of people. However, the 'Poem' and the 'Ji' are one, as long as the 'Poem' is still there. The 'Ji' is still there. A few years ago, I heard that someone obtained the remnant of the 'Peach Blossom Spring Ji', and some people said that it was turned into a great scholar's dirty text by the demon saint's blood. Why do you ask about this? "
Fang Yun replied, "I read Tao Sheng's collection yesterday. I'm very interested in the Xanadu. "
Zhao Hongzhuang nodded and said, "Everyone is interested in the Half-saint's writings. It's said that Zhuge Wuhou's' Eight Front Formation 'has long been lost, so after he passed away, the Zhuge family's power was greatly reduced. However, this matter has little to do with us. When this matter is over, I suggest that you go to the army for a few months to gain experience, and then practice your battle poems. With your talent, it won't be a problem for you to pass the provincial examination this year, so I suggest that you participate in the state examination in September. When you become a provincial scholar, you will have the ability to protect yourself. "
"I remember that you used to advise me to fight steadily and surely, like Yan Yukong who participates in the imperial examination once every two years." Fang Yundao said.
"Times have changed. Although you were famous in the past, it was limited. However, you are now at the cusp of the storm. Whether it's the demons or the barbarians, or Gyeongo Wu Guo, they all see you as a thorn in their side. You must do your best to take the imperial examination, and the sooner you become a Jinshi, the better. As long as your foundation isn't too unstable, there are ways to make up for it. "
"I will think about it carefully."
Fang Yun saw that Zhao Hongzhuang didn't relax after she finished speaking. Instead, she looked even more worried. He asked, "Hongzhuang, did something big happen?"
Zhao Hongzhuang shook her head and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that Assistant Minister Tong has sided with the Left Prime Minister, and has broken off relations with the Zhao family. This way, the Left Prime Minister has gained another great general in the military. "
Fang Yun's heart sank. The Left Prime Minister's influence in the military was originally very ordinary, but now that he had the help of the second in command of the Ministry of War, his influence had greatly increased.
"Does anyone blame me for this matter?" Fang Yun asked.
"Yes, but don't worry. We all know that this matter has nothing to do with you. It was instigated by Gyeongo. Assistant Minister Tong might not have done it just to avenge his grandson. He might have thought that the Left Prime Minister was powerful, and took the opportunity to side with him. The situation in the imperial court is not uncommon. We are already used to it. "Although Zhao Hongzhuang said this, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"If the Zhao family gave up on me and supported Assistant Minister Tong, he probably wouldn't side with the Left Prime Minister, right?" Fang Yun asked.
Zhao Hongzhuang slightly raised her chin and said in an extremely firm tone, "Jingguo can be lost, the Zhao family can be lost, but the bones of the Zhao family cannot be lost! You didn't do anything wrong, so why support Assistant Minister Tong? "
Fang Yun revealed a faint smile and said, "Thank you. Also, help me thank the Empress Dowager."
"The Empress Dowager doesn't need to thank me. She didn't say anything in the end." Zhao Hongzhuang said.
Fang Yun knew that Zhao Hongzhuang and the Empress Dowager didn't get along well. However, the previous monarch had a very good relationship with Zhao Hongzhuang, so the Empress Dowager didn't make things difficult for her.
"Since Assistant Minister Tong has sided with the Left Prime Minister, won't there be a problem at Mi Province, which borders the barbarians?" Fang Yun asked.
Zhao Hongzhuang said, "Mi Province won't be a problem, but Jadesea City will be in trouble. The Left Prime Minister's hand might reach out to Jadesea Prefecture."
"What? They won't even let Jadesea Prefecture off? If Jadesea Prefecture falls into chaos, the Dragons and Flood Dragon Palace will definitely make a move. "Fang Yun's expression was solemn.
"Jadesea will be fine as long as Li Wenying is there. That's why they won't dare touch Li Wenying. They'll target someone else. "
"Magistrate Dong? Yuanjun Feng? Don't tell me it's my uncle? "Fang Yundao asked.
Zhao Hongzhuang shook her head, "If it's those three, we won't be worried at all. I suspect they'll transfer Zhang Poyue away. "
"Vice Admiral Zhang is proficient in naval warfare. He's won against the Dragons more often than he's lost against Flood Dragon Palace. If he leaves, Jadesea City will be in danger and the Notre-Dame will be dissatisfied. Don't you have any way to stop it? "Fang Yun asked.
"No, because … something happened and we had no choice but to compromise. The news will be confirmed in a few days." Zhao Hongzhuang revealed a sorrowful expression.
Fang Yun was about to ask, but he kept his mouth shut. Since Zhao Hongzhuang wasn't willing to talk about it, it must be something she didn't want to talk about.
"Sigh, then I understand. But the next Jiang Province Vice Admiral won't be a friend of the Left Prime Minister, right? "
"No, he's a good friend of Assistant Minister Tong. He used to work in Jadesea City, but he didn't get along with Li Wenying. Back then, it was Li Wenying who forced him to leave. "
Fang Yun felt a headache, "I didn't expect things to be so complicated. It seems I can't walk the path of a civil official. I don't major in miscellaneous or vertical studies. If I become a civil official, I'll probably be stuck in a life of scheming and scheming, and I can forget about achieving anything on the Saint Path. Then, will the new Vice Admiral target me? "
"Lu Hanlin is different from the Left Prime Minister. Although he'll fight for power with Li Wenying, he won't target you. After all, he knows that if he offends you in Jadesea Prefecture, he won't be able to do anything. According to my guess, he won't make things difficult for you, but he won't be on good terms with you either. However, if something happens to you, I'm afraid he'll give you a fatal blow. "Zhao Hongzhuang said.
"He'll definitely do that to me?"
Zhao Hongzhuang hesitated for a moment, then said, "This is the worst possibility. But Lu Hanlin has a good reputation. Logically speaking, he won't harm you. After all, the one who has a grudge with you is Assistant Minister Tong, not him. "
"I'll be careful in the future." Fang Yundao said.
"Well, try not to offend Lu Hanlin. If you can rope him in, rope him in. After all, he'll be the number one person in Jiang Province in the future. But as long as the Sword Brow Guild is here, he won't dare to go too far. Don't worry. "
"What's the Sword Brow Guild's reaction to this?"
"Sigh, he's more tired than anyone now. He has to guard against Wind City's revenge on you, monitor the Jiao Dragon Palace in the Yangtze River, and guard against Gyeongo. Fortunately, the Holy Ground appeared in advance and the Dragons decided to attack Jade Sea Prefecture in September. Otherwise, he'll be even busier. "
"Hongzhuang, do you think I should go to the Holy Ground? It's said that it's very cruel. "
"I can't make the decision, but I'll ask for instructions from Prime Minister Wen and the Sword Brow Guild. When the time comes, you should listen to them. They won't harm you."
"Okay. Anyway, the Holy Ground will open on the fifteenth of August. There are still more than two months left. I'm not in a hurry. I'll just stay at home and study. I don't care about what's going on outside. I'll just focus on reading the sage books. "
Zhao Hongzhuang's eyes flashed. She said, "You're really talented. Even a casual sentence can be so clever. I'll write it down and report it to the Notre-Dame tomorrow. This will prevent anyone from stealing your famous words in the future. "
Fang Yun was helpless. He really couldn't do anything about this kind of sentence that he blurted out.
"Thank you, Hongzhuang." Fang Yundao said.
"I don't know when I'll be talented too." Zhao Hongzhuang said as she looked faintly at the sky outside the door. Everyone in the room could feel her unwillingness.
"Ying ying! Ying ying! "Nunu raised her claws as if to say that she had the same thoughts as Zhao Hongzhuang. She also wanted to be talented.
Fang Yun smiled. "The human race has been improving. Maybe you'll be able to wait until that day comes."
