The Gyeongo Confucians saw that Emperor Qing was smiling proudly and sighed inwardly. Emperor Qing was indeed not as good as Xusheng. Fang Yun was turning this political event into a romantic event. As long as someone used this to mock Jingguo or Fang Yun, others would counter that Emperor Qing was saving his confidante and completely resolve the matter of Qingjiang Trading Company welcoming Emperor Qing.
However, these Confucians could not stand up to refute. After all, Fang Yun did not attack Emperor Qing. He was just teasing him normally and had a good grasp of propriety.
Some Confucians looked at Fang Yun with complicated expressions. If Fang Yun had been born in Gyeongo, he would have been a disciple of Zong Sheng. Moreover, there was no Jingguo in the Human Race. Gyeongo would become the strongest country in the Human Race with an unstoppable momentum. Before, there was the youngest Half-saint Zong Moju. After that, there was the first genius Fang Yun who led the countries to fight against the demons and barbarians.
Unfortunately, Fang Yun now stood opposite Gyeongo and was obstructing Zong Sheng's plan.
The two of them had yet to directly fight, but they had already stirred up a storm and caused chaos in the world.
Fang Yun continued, "Jokes aside, I am very grateful that you are willing to honor me with your presence in Baling City and participate in this Literary Conference. Before the Literary Conference officially begins, there will be a banquet in Dongting. I hope that everyone will drink and chat happily, talk about autumn and taste delicious food together. This first cup of wine … "
Fang Yun raised his cup and wanted to continue speaking. However, he was interrupted by Zong Wuyuan, the Right Assistant Minister of Gyeongo's Ministry of Rites who came as Emperor Qing's attendant.
"There is one thing I don't understand. Why don't you wait for Zhang Mingzhou, the most important person in this Literary Conference?" Zong Wuyuan stood up from his seat.
Everyone looked at this middle-aged man.
As the son of Zong Ganyu and grandson of Zong Sheng, even if he was only in Hanlin, no one would scold him for being rude.
Fang Yun's gaze fell on Zong Wuyuan's face. This man had a square face, a high nose, and bronze skin. He looked similar to his good friend Zong Wude. His eyes reflected the distant Dongting Lake, bright and clear.
"Brother Zong, how have you been since we parted in Baling?" Fang Yun smiled slightly. He was not at all angry that Zong Wuyuan interrupted him.
......... and Fang and Zong Wuyuan.. Zong Wuyuan. at that time............. Zong Wuyuan was ridiculed and was easily countered by Fang... Then, Zong. Zong. and...... and and before, Zong......... and.. and.
In truth, before the two of them had met for the first time, there had already been conflicts between them because of Zong Wude. Zong Wude had formed a deep friendship with Fang Yun in the Holy Ground, and after reflecting on the Zong Clan's strategy, his attitude towards Zong Wuyuan changed. This caused Zong Wuyuan to think that Fang Yun was trying to drive a wedge between them, and he personally came out to criticize Fang Yun.
In the end, Fang Yun succeeded and formed the Heavenly Will Chant. In order to avoid the Heavenly Will Chant, Zong Wuyuan had no choice but to use the treasure bestowed by the Zong Sage to dissolve it. Otherwise, the courage of the chant would have been shattered.
Whether it was the treasures bestowed by the Sect Saint or the Saint Blood Ink Ingot, they were all extremely rare.
The Sacred Blood Ink Ingot was made from the blood of a Demonic Overlord and required at least three drops of Sacred Blood. The materials used to make it were all rare divine items. Even Zong Sheng only had a dozen ingots at most. In the end, Mo Nu and Fang Yun benefited from them.
Zong Wuyuan recalled all the things that happened in the past, and his expression did not change at all. He said seriously, "I have admired Zhang Mingzhou for a long time, and this competition is between you and him. If he doesn't come, no one can drink this wine!"
The eyes of the Jingguo people turned cold. This was definitely one of the methods used by the Gyeongo people. They were using all kinds of methods to distract Fang Yun before Zhang Longxiang arrived. Fang Yun was Xusheng, the Governors of the two prefectures, and the organizer of this competition. If Zong Wuyuan made things difficult for him, it would definitely not be a good thing.
If Fang Yun did not refute Zong Wuyuan and prevent him from drinking the wine, everyone would doubt him. If he could not even drink a cup of wine in his own territory, what else could Fang Yun do?
Fang Yun did not speak. He shook his hand and pushed the wine cup in front of Zong Wuyuan. Zong Wuyuan did not know what Fang Yun was going to do, so he had to reach out and catch it.
"The Dongting Banquet has already begun. Zhang Mingzhou is late. Since you admire him, you should drink three cups of wine for him." Fang Yun ordered without hesitation.
Zong Wuyuan was speechless. He did not expect that Fang Yun would use such a drastic method. Originally, he had planned well to make an issue of Zhang Longxiang. Even if he could not interrupt the Dongting Banquet, he could at least embarrass Fang Yun. But now, he was stumped by Fang Yun.
Zong Wuyuan believed that Fang Yun did not know much about Zhang Longxiang, so he used Zhang Longxiang as an uncertain factor to make Fang Yun not know how to deal with it. It played the role of disrupting the situation.
But now Fang Yun cut the Gordian knot. Without considering other possibilities, he directly believed that Zhang Longxiang was late and could not participate in the Dongting Banquet. Instead, he switched the identities of the two.
If Zhang Longxiang was not late and came to the Yueyang Tower immediately, Zong Wuyuan could naturally fight back against Fang Yun. But the problem was that Zong Wuyuan did not know where Zhang Longxiang was.
Zong Wuyuan was a little confused. Now he could either say that Zhang Longxiang was not late, or admit that Zhang Longxiang was late and punish himself by drinking three cups of wine and become a laughing stock.
"Why does Fang Xusheng think that Zhang Mingzhou must be late? Maybe he is around the Yueyang Tower at this moment, but he does not show up. Since he does not show up, this banquet cannot start. "Zong Wuyuan began to think of a way to escape.
"Zhang Longxiang only said that he would participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Gathering. When did he say that he would participate in this Dongting Banquet? You ask him to send a letter to me. As long as he wants to participate in this banquet, Bensei will punish himself by drinking three cups of wine! If he can't do it, then don't blame Bensei for taking you down on the spot for disturbing the cultural gathering! "
When Fang Yun said this, everyone was shocked. Before, Fang Yun called himself "I", but now he called himself "Bensei". Obviously, his attitude towards this matter had changed.
If it was an ordinary cultural gathering, it would be fine to disturb it. There was no clear punishment. But this cultural gathering was organized by the officials of Jingguo. Disturbing this cultural gathering was equivalent to disturbing the officials of Jingguo. Other officials of Jingguo did not dare to do anything to Zong Wuyuan, but not only did Fang Yun dare to arrest him, but he would also punish him in a way that Zong Wuyuan would never forget.
The Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Guan Yi, thought that Jingguo should take the initiative to give up the territory because of the territorial dispute between the two countries. He was imprisoned in a three-inch cage by Fang Yun and was looked at like an animal. Many days ago, the Literary Palace was covered in dust. According to the current situation, Guan Yi's courage would be broken in a month at most.
Zong Wuyuan realized that he should not have made an issue out of Zhang Longxiang. But it was too late to take back the water that had been spilled. He could only say, "You are Xusheng and the master of the Yueyang Tower. Don't be angry over such a trivial matter. I just think that Zhang Longxiang and you are indispensable figures in this banquet. Neither of you can be absent. "
"You are very smart. First, you interrupted Bensei's words to provoke me. Then, you slandered and framed me, implying that I am narrow-minded and easily angry. Who gave you the courage?" Fang Yun exposed Zong Wuyuan's evil intentions without hesitation.
All the scholars present understood that Zong Wuyuan was used to using this kind of trick on others. This time, he finally kicked an iron plate.
