Wang Li said, "Let's wait here for the results. We'll go down the mountain when there are results."
"Good! Today, we'll talk about poems and essays. However, we can't just talk about empty talk. Each of us has to prepare a poem related to this moment. When we leave, we'll write it here. When we have more poems in Pearl City, we can publish them together. "Zhang Qingfeng said.
"Good!" The other generals' eyes lit up. Now, Fang Yun's Literary Name was like the sun in the sky. Moreover, he had a legendary poem. If they could publish it together with him, it would definitely be mentioned in the future.
Fang Yun smiled and nodded.
Time passed slowly. In the afternoon, Zhang Qingfeng held the official seal and said, "The court assembly has ended. There was a lot of controversy."
Fang Yundao said, "Tell me about it."
"You have made a legendary poem. Your contribution is great. You should be rewarded. However, a small number of people cursed the destruction of the Chu Kingdom with the excuse of 'the country is destroyed, but the mountains and rivers remain' and demanded that all the rewards be abolished. Some people thought that the destruction of the country was referring to the territory that had fallen. It was true that the Chu Country was damaged, but it didn't mean that the country was destroyed. Therefore, you should be rewarded. Otherwise, there would be an uproar. "
"Like a mad dog!" Wang Li couldn't help but curse. The other generals were also angry.
Zhang Qingfeng continued, "This legendary poem will be reviewed by the Notre-Dame. If nothing goes wrong, you will receive a lot of military merits. This is the military merits of the Notre-Dame. It's very precious. Even the Notre-Dame recognizes your military merits. Why doesn't the Chu Country? Some upright imperial censors and officials argued for it. Some of them tried to impeach you, but now they are standing on the side of justice. "
"If there's a chance, I will definitely thank you." Fang Yundao.
"What was the result?" Wang Li asked.
Zhang Qingfeng smiled bitterly and said, "In the end, they couldn't come to an agreement, so the King Of Chu made the decision. The King Of Chu only asked, 'What should we do if the successor is a rebel?' For a moment, all the officials were silent, and the matter was left unsettled. If my guess is correct, the King Chu will neither reward nor deny the reward. I'm afraid he will drag it out until everyone forgets about it, or until … "
Zhang Qingfeng did not continue. Everyone looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun smiled indifferently. He knew that Zhang Qingfeng wanted to say that the King Of Chu wanted to drag things out until he died.
Wang Li sneered and said, "Impossible! No matter how stupid the King Chu is, he can't kill a descendant. "
"He can kill with a borrowed knife," Zhang Qingfeng said.
Many generals sighed softly.
Suddenly, Wang Li was stunned, and then he laughed loudly.
"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at the old general in surprise.
Wang Li smiled and said, "My good friend in Zhao sent me a letter and told me something important. Guess what it is?"
"Don't keep us in suspense. Say it!" Zhang Qingfeng said.
"Just a quarter of an hour ago, the King of Zhao suddenly issued a royal order, announcing that the book 'Zhang Longxiang Teaches His Son', compiled by Chu's Zhurong Academy, will be listed as a must-read book for the children of Zhao." Wang Li laughed loudly.
"Good!" Zhang Qingfeng slapped his thigh.
"Zhao is indeed a great country that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin. The King of Zhao has such foresight and breadth of mind. It's admirable!"
"This slap is ruthless! Good! Good! "Wang Li picked up the tea and drank it like wine.
No one agreed, but they all knew whose face Wang Li was slapping.
"I use tea instead of wine to congratulate the Marquis on his Literary Name's rise!" Suhlen raised his teacup and said.
"Thank you!" Fang Yun smiled and drank the tea.
"The list discussion must be very lively now. Let's go take a look!"
The ten people present picked up their official seals and entered the list discussion.
The first article that Fang Yun saw was titled 'On Zhang Longxiang'. He took a closer look and found that the author was actually the Prime Minister of Zhao!
Fang Yun quickly skimmed through the whole article and found that the article used himself as an example. The article alluded to Chu everywhere.
The two most powerful people of Zhao actually joined hands to promote the Literary Name!
Fang Yun quickly read the replies of the scholars of various countries. Everyone praised the magnanimity of the King of Zhao and the Prime Minister of Zhao. Some even encouraged Fang Yun to join Zhao.
"The dragon and elephant swallowed charcoal as thanks." Fang Yun replied with six words.
Soon, someone noticed Fang Yun's reply. Almost everyone showed a strange smile and replied one after another.
During the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, a righteous man tried to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi but failed.
Zhao Xiangzi thought that he was a righteous man and released him. In order to continue his revenge, Yu Rang changed his appearance. He covered himself in paint and swallowed charcoal until he became mute. He begged on the streets and even his relatives could not recognize him. So he hid under the bridge and tried to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi again. He was captured by Zhao Xiangzi's guards again. This time, Zhao Xiangzi would not let him go. So he begged for Zhao Xiangzi's coat and attacked it with a sword to avenge his master. Then he committed suicide.
A gentleman dies for his bosom friend and a woman dresses for her lover. This was a famous saying that Yu Rang left behind in the Records of the Grand Historian.
Zhao Xiangzi was the actual founder of Zhao. Because she gave Yu Rang the coat, she was highly respected by scholars.
Fang Yun replied with the story of Yu Rang and Zhao Xiangzi. It was very thought-provoking.
Soon, someone praised, "On the day Yu Rang swallowed charcoal, when Zhao Xiangzi took off her coat. When the dragon and elephant were in danger, the King of Zhao gave her a coat. "
Soon, someone compared the words of the King Of Chu with the words of the King of Zhao. The entire list was almost one-sided. 99% of the people were criticizing Chu. Some even said that the King Of Chu was a fatuous ruler.
All kinds of rumors filled the list.
There were rumors that the emperors of various countries were secretly laughing at the King Of Chu. Some were even prepared to take Fang Yun away in the name of meeting the Emperor.
Facing the storm-like attacks of various countries, the civil and military officials of Chu suddenly withered like frosted eggplants. No one appeared on the list.
Fang Yun was looking at the list when Prime Minister Zhu Fengqiong of Qin sent a letter.
"Strike while the iron is hot. Write a poem full of grief and anger. Add fuel to the fire and let more people know about your predicament. We can also help you raise your Literary Name. When the storm calms down, write a few poems about romance to ease the conflict between you and the King Of Chu. "
"What if the King Of Chu is desperate and kills me in advance?" Fang Yundao asked.
"He won't dare to kill you. Go, write a poem quickly." Zhu Fengqiong's words were impatient. He seemed to be very busy.
"I can't write!" Fang Yun replied bluntly.
"Oh? Are you resisting the Old Man's orders? Do you know that the last person who defied the Old Man had his limbs chopped off and thrown into a dung bucket? If the Old Man didn't have something important to deal with today, how could he let you go? "
"Don't push your luck!" Fang Yun was angry.
"Presumptuous! Even the Seven Vassals dare not say that the Old Man is pushing his luck! Don't think that you can be above the Old Man just because you wrote a poem. We raised your Literary Name, but we can also crush you into the mud and make you worthless! "
"Ridiculous! If you could find someone else, you would've raised their Literary Name and challenged Fang Xusheng! If I'm not wrong, you've already tried to raise others, but whose Literary Name can be compared to Fang Xusheng's? Even if all their poems were added together, they might not be as important as Fang Xusheng's page! Prime Minister Zhu, I, Zhang Longxiang, am a Hanlin scholar. I know my limits. I don't need you to scold me! I don't know how to write a new poem of grief and indignation! "
Fang Yun smiled coldly. If he was really Zhang Longxiang, he would probably lower his head in front of Zhu Fengqiong in order to survive. After all, Zhu Fengqiong was a Grand Scholar and the Prime Minister of the Qin Kingdom. He could play with millions of people in the palm of his hand. However, he was not Zhang Longxiang.
"A mere Grand Scholar dares to order me around? When the matter of the Ninth Mountain is over, we'll settle our old and new debts! When that time comes, let's see how you'll make me worthless! "
Fang Yun ignored Zhu Fengqiong and continued to browse the rankings.
