The Empress Dowager had no choice but to call for another court meeting after the School of Miscellany announced that they were going to deal with Jingguo.
Some officials would get a headache every time they heard the words "court meeting". It was so frequent that it delayed their work.
However, no one did not want to attend.
Except for Fang Yun.
Fang Yun claimed that he was sick and did not attend.
This was the first time that Fang Yun was absent from the court meeting this year.
After the court meeting, the Fengtian Hall fell into a long silence.
No one spoke, no one came up with a plan, and no one was even filled with righteous indignation.
This was because everyone felt a sense of oppression. Everyone was shrouded in a deep sense of despair. Everyone felt that they could not breathe.
Finally, someone could not help but speak.
"As a scholar from the School of Miscellany, you have failed to contribute to the country, appease the people, and protect the people. You are not fit to be an official in Jingguo! From today onwards, I will resign from my position and travel the world. I will not be an official for the rest of my life. "
After that person finished speaking, he disappeared from the Fengtian Hall.
He was an official from another country. He appeared here through the projection of the Divine Temple. Once he removed his official seal, he would immediately disappear from the Fengtian Hall.
"I also beg for the bones!"
"I am old and cannot take on great responsibilities. Today, I will retire and return to my hometown. I hope the Empress Dowager will take pity on me."
Other than a few people who did not leave after seeking the Empress Dowager's permission, most of the other scholars left directly. They either walked out of the Fengtian Hall or disappeared through projection.
Ninety percent of the scholars who majored or minored in the School of Miscellany left.
Those who did not leave were those who majored or minored in the School of Miscellaneous, those who majored in the Military, and those who did not.
Between the Divine Path and the country, these few people chose the latter.
Although less than a third of the officials left, the Fengtian Hall suddenly became very empty.
Some of the officials secretly held their official seals and paid attention to the rankings. They became more and more desperate.
This was because the rankings were filled with articles published by the scholars from the Jingguo School of Miscellany. Ninety percent of the latest articles were in the style of "someone from the School of Miscellany left Jingguo."
One or two articles were not a big deal. However, when tens of thousands of similar articles appeared, the unity of the scholars from Jingguo was completely destroyed.
In the beginning, many Jingguo people and even people from other countries scolded them. They thought that they had betrayed their country and were traitors. However, as more and more people left Jingguo, the scolding gradually decreased.
If one or two people fled, it might be an individual problem, but if it was a large-scale action, then it must be a problem with the country.
Similarly, if the foreign elite scholars were unwilling to come, but those notorious speculators and even criminals were willing to come, there must be something wrong with the country.
"Fang Yun has harmed the country!"
A joint declaration of war signed by Ji Wu and Guan Che appeared on the rankings.
The two of them worked together to list Fang Yun's top ten crimes.
The first sin was treason and heinous beyond redemption. His name was Minister of the Left, and he had the power of the Monarch. Imprisoning the Empress Dowager and Jing Jun, seizing the Son of Heaven to order his vassals.
The second crime was forming cliques and eliminating dissidents. They established the Fang Party and attacked the former Left Prime Minister Mount Liu and other righteous scholars.
The third crime was to bring chaos to the human race and attack the neighboring countries. When the human race was in danger, they constantly retaliated against Gyeongo and gave the Demon Realm an opportunity to take advantage of.
The fourth crime was to rebel against the Notre-Dame and act arbitrarily. They did not cooperate with the School of Miscellany and tried to chase them out of Jingguo. They even disregarded the opposition of the officials and interrupted the peace talks.
The fifth crime was to frame and slander his colleagues. Using the power in his hands, he continued to fabricate crimes to frame many officials of Jing Country.
The sixth crime was to fill their own pockets and sell out the country. The Fang family was prospering and their wealth increased explosively. They would definitely export their benefits to other countries.
The seventh crime was to violate etiquette and go against the principles. They constantly created new etiquette and went against the old ones. They played to the gallery and went against the teachings of the sages.
The eighth crime was to abandon his wife and fall in love with a demon. Yang Yuhuan was exiled to the Bloodlight World, but Fang Yun often brought the Savage Fox Demon with him.
The ninth crime was to fish for fame and did not live up to his name. He secretly sent people to spread false news among the people. He boasted that he was wise and powerful, but in reality, he was already sick. Even if he had the path to becoming a Saint, he did not have the body of a Saint.
The tenth crime was to collude with other races and was suspected to be a traitor. When Fang Yun attacked Gyeongo and the domestic forces, the Demon Realm suddenly withdrew their troops in order to cooperate with Fang Yun. Moreover, Fang Yun had many identities among the ancient demons, Dragons, and other races. Not only did he establish the Water Temple and let the Dragons erode the power of the Notre-Dame, he even invited the other races to Saint Origin World. He was afraid that he would use the power of the other races to seize the human race's power!
In the declaration, the two of them used facts as the basis and inferred many conclusions that seemed to be true and false. They framed Fang Yun.
In the end, the two of them called on all the scholars in the world to expose Fang Yun's true colors and overthrow Fang Yun's dark reign. They wanted to let Jingguo see the light of day again.
If someone had posted a declaration of war against Fang Yun in the past, it would have attracted a lot of criticism and ridicule. However, under this article, there were very few people who supported Fang Yun. Instead, a large number of scholars from the School of Miscellaneous Studies replied and criticized Fang Yun.
Not long after, some of the people who supported Fang Yun before joined in to reply.
"In the past, whenever someone attacked Fang Xusheng, the Old Man would definitely oppose it. Even if it was Fang Xusheng's reform of etiquette, I still supported it. Even if it was a trick by Fang Xusheng, I still did not regret it. However, this time, I think Fang Xusheng has gone too far. "
"I won't scold Fang Xusheng. However, no matter what, Fang Yun should not have stopped the peace talks. If he really wanted Jingguo, so what if he gave the Official Examination to the School of Miscellaneous Studies? After all, it is the Divine Path of the human race. "
"Fang Xusheng has been in the limelight recently and has forgotten himself. However, I believe that under the seal of the Divine Path, Fang Xusheng will definitely bow his head. When that time comes, the School of Miscellaneous Studies will not force him too much and will negotiate with him again. This will also be a lesson for him. "
"Unfortunately, after this battle, Jingguo will fall into a long period of turmoil. Although the scholars from the School of Miscellaneous Studies have their own selfish motives, there are also people who are impartial. If they are all forced to leave, Jingguo will not be able to return to its former glory in a few decades. "
"Who knows Fang Xusheng? Talk to him. This time, he really shouldn't have done this."
In the Fengtian Hall, other than the scholars from the School of Miscellaneous Studies who had resigned one after another, no one else spoke.
After all the scholars from the School of Miscellaneous Studies made their final decision, Sheng Boyuan stepped forward and said, "I, Sheng Boyuan, request for peace talks to settle the conflict between both sides. If not, I will also resign! Although I am not involved in the School of Miscellaneous Studies, as long as Fang Yun is in Jingguo, I will never step into Jingguo! "
"I second the motion!" An official from the Ministry of Rites walked out.
"I second the motion!" An imperial censor walked out.
"I second the motion!" An official from the Ministry of Personnel walked out.
"I second the motion," a fifth-rank general suddenly said.
A group of scholars from the School of Military Studies looked at the general in surprise. Then, they sneered. They guessed that this person was either Mount Liu's spy or colluded with Sheng Boyuan and the others.
"I second the motion!" A sixth-rank official from the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion walked out.
Everyone was in an uproar.
Xu Changgeng, Li Zhixiao, Dong Yueqian, and the others were even more surprised. This person was originally a seventh-rank official and had been suppressed many times before. It was Fang Yun who promoted him.
