Grand Secretary Meng, who had been under pressure for praising Fang Yun for the past few months, almost laughed out loud. He was the oldest in the Notre-Dame, so he was respected. However, his age also meant that he had lost his potential. It would be difficult for him to make a breakthrough and become a great scholar.
Fang Yun was also a hot topic in the Notre-Dame. Moreover, he had recently been involved in the battle of the Holy Road, so many people avoided talking about him. Grand Secretary Meng was a straightforward person. Once someone said something bad about Fang Yun, he would support Fang Yun. Over time, he was rejected by some people. However, he was praised by others because of this. That was why he was able to persist.
But now, Fang Yun's "Three Character Classic" was actually selected by the half-saint to enter the All Saints Hall. Moreover, he was the one who strongly recommended it. This would certainly be a great contribution to him, and he might even be able to leave his name in history because of this small matter.
Most importantly, he had proven his foresight!
Grand Secretary Meng was over seventy years old. When he laughed, he looked like a child.
Grand Secretary An breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had always been impartial. In fact, he did not think highly of the Three Character Classic. However, he liked Fang Yun's poems and thought that Grand Secretary Meng was upright and upright. Therefore, he had always been a peacemaker. He did not expect that he would be able to escape the disaster.
At this moment, Luo Wenzong had completely forgotten the embarrassing nickname. His eyes and heart were filled with the Three Character Classic.
As a great scholar, he was calmer than anyone else. Therefore, the first thing he thought about was the Three Character Classic itself. As for his nickname, honor, and loss, they were all ephemeral and did not leave the slightest trace in his heart.
Grand Secretary Ge had already regretted stopping Fang Yun. After hearing that the Three Character Classic was about to enter the All Saints Hall, his eyes turned black and his body swayed.
He stood still for a moment and said with self-blame and pain, "All … All Saints Hall? The Three Character Classic can increase the fortune of the human race? Its actual effect is even greater than spreading the word to the world? Yes! Yes! This article is not very talented and has no profound meaning. It should be the same as the Thousand Character Classic, which has great enlightenment! But I failed to see through it. I'm guilty! If I had known that this article would have such a huge contribution, I definitely wouldn't have dared to stop it! I'm really stupid, Fang Yun clearly has the aptitude to become a Saint, why can't I see through it! Great Eastern Sage, I beg for ten years of punishment. Regardless of whether it's the three barbarians or the Two World Mountain, I'm willing to go! "
"That would be great."
Grand Scholar Ge left the tower in shame.
Looking at his back, Grand Secretary Meng nodded and said, "They both failed to make things difficult for Fang Yun, but the solution was different. The people of Gyeongo left directly. But Wu Guo's people are willing to atone for their sins. After all, Wu Guo's people have more backbone than Gyeongo's people. No wonder they can resist the barbarians without falling into a disadvantageous position. "
Grand Secretary An said, "Who would have thought that the Three Character Classic would have such a great educational effect? Thinking about it carefully, whether it was the Thousand Character Classic or the Hundred Family Surnames, they were all about 'character'. Later on, Meng Tong would learn the Analects of Confucius, Mencius, and other sacred classics. They were all about 'meaning', between the character and the meaning. Too much is missing. Before Meng Tong learns the sacred classics, he should learn something else. "
"There have been people who have thought of this before, but we know too much. Thinking too much makes it unsuitable to write books for enlightenment. This Fang Yun, I'm afraid, thought of all this at the Dao Comprehension River, waiting for his enlightenment before slowly perfecting it. "
"That's right. I don't know what other books he'll write for enlightenment. Just the Three Character Classic alone is enough to make his name immortalized throughout the ages! "
Luo Wenzong lightly sighed, saying, "I have my doubts. The reason why he wasn't outstanding before was probably because he was thinking of how to make up for the missing link between 'character' and 'meaning'. He was thinking of how to make up for the path of enlightenment, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was a blockhead. After he comprehended the path of enlightenment, he was suddenly enlightened, and his learning progressed a thousand miles in a day. That's why he was able to make no mistakes in the sacred words. "
The two Grand Scholars nodded. This explanation was the most reasonable, because similar things had indeed happened before.
"I hope he can continue to perfect the path of enlightenment. Even if his later books aren't as good as the Three Character Classic, as long as he can make up for the path of enlightenment, his contributions will be far greater than ours!"
Grand Scholar An suddenly asked doubtfully, "I checked the Limu Code a few days ago, but there was no record of Fang Yun's contributions. Could it be that the Shang Dynasty's code ignored him?"
Luo Wenzong said, "I'm afraid it's not that there isn't. It's just that you and I can't see it."
Grand Scholar An immediately revealed a relieved smile, saying, "I've been thinking too much. The saints certainly won't let his true contributions be exposed. I don't know how many more contributions he has that haven't been announced."
Grand Scholar Meng said, "I'm looking forward to the first time his contributions are announced. I want to see how many contributions he will have."
"That's right …"
Everything that happened in the Notre-Dame was not leaked. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
The Qixi Festival was getting closer and closer. After the Holy Road was published on the first day of July, the sentence, "The lotus leaves reaching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are exceptionally red," became a popular famous sentence. Many people believed that if this sentence wasn't suppressed by other poems in the next few decades, then this poem would definitely be promoted to a national poem.
It was difficult for news from the military to spread outside, but news from outside could spread to the military.
This time, Fang Yun really settled down to be a soldier and study. He wouldn't leave the military camp until the Qixi Festival, and he didn't even care about the outside world. However, because 15 people slept and moved around in the same room, he still heard a lot of news.
Festivals to stop waterlogging were frequently held in various parts of Jiangzhou. All the scholars took turns to show up. There was even a spectacular scene of hundreds of scholars writing poems to stop waterlogging together.
The frequent festivals to stop waterlogging reduced the heavy rain, but it was only reduced. The rain was still falling. Jiangzhou was destined to have a reduction in production this year. Many officials had already begun to purchase grain from various places to avoid the high price of grain in Jiangzhou.
Fang Yun also heard that Hanlin and Li Wenying of Jiangzhou had taken action many times to reduce the disaster in Jiangzhou. However, they couldn't stop the heavy rain, even with the help of the Great Confucian.
Soon, there were new rumors that the heavy rain was related to the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas. It seemed that they had used some special divine item. Even the Great Confucian couldn't do anything about it. Only the Half-saint could do something about it.
Time passed slowly amidst all kinds of rumors.
July was hot and the weather turned cold. After the beginning of autumn, the summer rain turned into autumn rain. Looking from afar, the entire Jiangzhou was shrouded in dark clouds and rain.
On the evening of the sixth day of July, Fang Yun was in a good mood. He could take the opportunity to go home because he had a holiday tomorrow.
After dinner, Fang Yun returned to the barracks to cool off. The other soldiers were chatting at the door.
More and more people came over. Not long after, a black-faced soldier hurried over and said loudly, "Have you heard? The Green River Dragon King claimed that the continuous heavy rain and floods in Jiangzhou were to take revenge on Fang Yun! "
"What? How is it related to Fang Yun? A Demon King is taking revenge on a scholar? "
"The Flood Dragon King said. Fang Yun ate his son's Dragon Pearl and asked the people of Jiangzhou to hand over Fang Yun. As long as Fang Yun is handed over, he will stop the rain in Jiangzhou! "
"Huh? In that case, the floods these days were caused by Fang Yun? "
"How can you say that? What do you mean by it was caused by Fang Yun? Even if you think with your feet, you'll understand why a Demon King would spend so much money on a scholar. He said that Fang Yun must be the bait. There must be another reason! "
"That's not what I mean, I mean that others will think so."
"The Flood Dragon King is trying to drive a wedge between us humans! Once we hand over Fang Yun, who in the Ten Nations will treat us as humans in the future? Jingguo has finally produced a genius who's not inferior to the disciples of the Half-saint family. If we hand him over just like that, we'll be ruined. Which Jingguo will treat themselves as Jingguo in the future? "
"But if he doesn't hand Fang Yun over, there will still be many people cursing him. Fang Yun will bear the crime of harming the entire Jiang Prefecture. Fang Yun is such a good person. It's very likely that he will send himself to his death and sacrifice himself for justice!"
"Damn it! Since when have the demons become so vicious!?! "
Many soldiers were infuriated.
Fang Yun froze in place, not expecting the Flood Dragon King to be so vicious. However, he soon calmed down and soon had a general idea of the entire matter.
"If the Flood Dragon King had said this at the beginning of the rain, the people in Jiangzhou wouldn't have been affected by it. The people of Jiangzhou have not suffered much from the disaster, so they will definitely stand with me. In the future, when the flood worsens, it will arouse their hatred for a common enemy. However, the people of Jiangzhou have been suffering from floods for more than half a month. Their hatred for the culprit has reached its peak. If the Flood Dragon King suddenly said that it was caused by me, many people will resent me! Once this matter spreads, it will definitely be a fatal blow to me. The Flood Dragon King couldn't have come up with such a vicious countermeasure. It's very likely that the Dragon Palace Turtle Demon, who has lived for more than a thousand years, is helping him come up with this plan. "
"The more vicious part of this plan is that unless I can resolve the flood with my own strength and completely disperse the continuous rainy days, I won't be able to do anything about it. Otherwise, even after a few decades, people will still think that I'm the one who harmed Jiangzhou. This is a desperate plan. Liu Zicheng's so-called harm to my Literary Name is like a child's play compared to the Flood Dragon King and the other demons. If I hide and don't come out, I'll be sullied for the rest of my life. If I turn myself in, I'll die. I can't advance or retreat. "
Fang Yun thought about it and realized that he was really forced into a dead end.
At that moment, Yu Xingshu's personal guard came over. Fang Yun walked over and the two of them came to an empty space.
The personal guard first relayed Azure River Flood Dragon King's words before looking at Fang Yun.
"I just heard someone mention it," Fang Yundao said.
The personal guard heaved a sigh of relief when he saw how calm Fang Yun was. "Don't worry. Everyone who participated in the previous patrol was given a gag order by the Disciplinary Hall before they left the military camp. No one dares to say a word. The general has already transferred the dozens of people in the military elsewhere. Your identity won't be exposed. When the time is right, they will return to the navy and be promoted. "
"I know that too. It's actually a good thing for them. I just don't understand how the Azure River Flood Dragon King knows my name."
"Although you've disguised yourself, it's ultimately a product of ink and talent. You can fool others, but you can't fool the Flood Dragon King's eyes. Although a flood dragon isn't a true dragon, it's still one of the strongest demons. Since the Flood Dragon King knows your true appearance, he can easily find a traitor to find out that it's you. "
Fang Yun nodded.
The personal guard continued, "But don't worry. You've changed your name. Everyone who knows that 'Fang Bing' used to be 'Fang Yun' is no longer in the eastern sub-city. You can continue to stay here."
"The general doesn't intend to let me resolve this flood?" Fang Yun asked.
"Sigh, the general doesn't even want you to participate in the Double Seventh Festival. Because Liu Zizhi's entire family is wearing mourning clothes. Today, they set off from the Grand Source Prefecture to the Jade Sea Prefecture. I think you should be able to guess who they're looking for. "
"They want to stop me at the entrance of the Double Seventh Festival?" Fang Yun's gaze gradually turned cold.
"Yes. Including Lord Shi's head disciple, there are three factions targeting you!"
"To be continued …"
