In the end, dozens of officials stepped forward one after another. There were more than 20 officials above the fifth rank!
The storm had arrived.
The departure of the miscellaneous officials from the Imperial Court was already a huge blow. If Sheng Boyuan and the other officials also resigned, the Jingguo Imperial Court was very likely to fall into a great crisis.
Managing such a huge country without these experienced bureaucrats would inevitably cause trouble that would not be settled for many years.
For example, a seemingly insignificant policy would not affect these bureaucrats, but it was very likely to affect a large number of people. When the Imperial Court found out, they could only reap the consequences. They would spend all their manpower and material resources to repair it, causing a great waste.
Once this kind of thing happened too often, it would form a chain reaction. It would inevitably cause the entire country to be in turmoil, and it might even collapse.
It could even be said that one of the main reasons for the collapse of the past dynasties was all kinds of wrong policies, be it land policies, financial policies, strategic plans, and so on.
The officials who made the policy plan thought that they were right, but by the time they discovered the mistake, it was already too late.
History was a spiral. In fact, what rose was technology and the collective wisdom of mankind. The bureaucrats had been going in circles, responsible for the spiral of history. The non-bureaucrats and a few enlightened officials were responsible for the rise of history.
Many of the officials present had already seen the consequences of too many officials leaving, but they could only remain silent.
Even among the officials of the Fang Party, there were some who were resentful of Fang Yun.
The Imperial Court was suffering a destructive blow. This was something that could not be salvaged by any reform. Fang Yun might be the most outstanding official, but he definitely could not replace more ordinary officials.
Fang Xusheng was absent, and Sheng Boyuan threatened her, so the Empress Dowager had no choice but to compromise. They began to vote in court. As long as more than two-thirds of the officials agreed, the peace talks would be reopened.
Soon, the results were out.
This time, the vote received an overwhelming 90% support, and they decided to reopen the peace talks.
Therefore, Sheng Boyuan led the officials of the Peace Talks Department to the Notre-Dame again.
When they arrived at Mount Duofeng, Sheng Boyuan and the others suddenly saw a familiar figure, but that figure disappeared in a flash.
"That figure looks like Fang Xusheng …" Sheng Boyuan whispered.
"I think so too," an official said.
"At this time, he secretly came to the Notre-Dame. Could it be that he has something important to do?"
"Forget it. Let's go and talk first." Sheng Boyuan shook his head.
However, to Sheng Boyuan's surprise, the Zajia refused to negotiate with him.
He only talked to Fang Yun.
Sheng Boyuan returned without success and reported it to the cabinet and the Empress Dowager.
Therefore, after the Empress Dowager and the Cabinet had an agreement, the Cabinet held a meeting and began to vote. They passed a new resolution and requested Fang Yun to go to the peace talks.
Fang Yun exercised his authority as the Left Prime Minister and vetoed it with a single vote.
Sheng Boyuan once again requested for a court meeting to be held to impeach Fang Yun.
However, the proposal was not approved by more than half of the officials, and the vote failed.
Unknowingly, it was already the fifth day since the school of Miscellany's announcement.
The autumn mornings in the capital were exceptionally clear, and the sky was as blue as a gem.
Amidst the rising smoke, people from all walks of life began to prepare for a new day.
Suddenly, the entire capital city shook heavily. Everyone felt an unstoppable supreme power descending from the sky. Everyone felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to breathe.
As the earth quaked and the mountains swayed, houses swayed and objects collapsed. Chickens crowed and dogs barked. It was a scene of chaos.
After a short period of shaking, the capital city returned to normal.
Those who bought crockery wailed, those who sold porcelain wanted to cry but had no tears, and those who sold wine desperately tried to save them. The most miserable ones were the families whose houses had collapsed …
In Jingguo, all the scholars who majored or minored in Miscellany were suffering at this moment.
The school of Miscellany was cutting off their connection with the Holy Path and extracting their strength.
All over Jingguo, the sound of literary gall shattering could be heard. It was like glass falling to the ground, resounding through the sky.
Some of the older Miscellany were even lying in their coffins in beast clothes. They had instructed their children and grandchildren in advance that if their literary palaces were damaged, there was no need to rescue them. They only needed to take away the literary treasures that they had condensed with their lifetime of talent.
All over Jingguo, there were wails of grief.
On this day when the whole country was grieving, there was actually good news.
An Old Show by the Miscellany was in a trance and forgot that only a Juren could inject talent into an item to form a literary treasure. Therefore, when the Miscellany was cut off from the Holy Path, he injected talent into his beloved inkstone.
As a result, the inkstone glowed and formed a literary treasure.
The one who discovered this was the Old Show's son. Although he was only a Juren, he was still a scholar. After helping his father settle down, he ran to the local county government and reported this to the county magistrate.
When the county magistrate heard the news, he was ecstatic. He immediately prepared to send a letter to the imperial court and the Notre-Dame. However, after thinking for a while, he decided to only send a letter to the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion.
County magistrates of the seventh rank and above had the privilege of directly sending a letter to the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion when they encountered an emergency.
When the officials of the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion received the letter, they could not hide their joy and immediately sent a letter to Fang Yun.
When Fang Yun received the result, he pondered for a while and sent a letter to the Dongsheng Pavilion.
Then, the Dongsheng Pavilion sent a joint team of scholars from all the palaces to bring the Notre-Dame's treasure to the Old Show's house.
The next day, the Notre-Dame announced a shocking news.
From now on, scholars and even Juren could infuse their lifetime's talent into objects to become literary treasures. Moreover, ordinary people could use Juren literary treasures.
If they could form a literary jade, they could integrate it into a literary treasure. The literary treasure integrated with the literary jade would obtain the same level of poetry when it was alive.
The Notre-Dame also announced that the lifespan of all literary treasures of the human race would be doubled. The specific reason was unknown. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the Literati Star.
When the news came out, not only the human race, but all the other realms were very concerned.
In the past, only those who were Juren or higher could form literary treasures. But now, even Juren could form them. This meant that literary treasures were very likely to be popularized in the human race's battlefield.
However, this level would not affect the middle and high-level battles. However, literary treasures could be integrated into literary treasures to form battle poems of many levels. This was extremely terrifying.
Before the emergence of literary treasures, if a scholar who mastered a fourth level battle poem infused his talent into a literary treasure, the power of the literary treasure would indeed be stronger than ordinary literary treasures. However, it was still limited. But now, there was a qualitative leap.
This meant that even a newly advanced Grand Scholar could easily kill an ordinary Great Demon King with a fourth-realm Great Confucian war poem.
If not for the limited number of scholars who mastered high level battle poems and the fact that they often died in battle and could not guarantee that they would form a high level literary treasure before they died, the Demon Realm would have continued to attack.
The battle between the School of Miscellany and Fang Yun was still unsettled. The Demon Realm still did not attack the Two World Mountain.
Soon, everyone knew that the Jingguo Miscellany School was the first to discover the formation of low-level literary treasures. Therefore, on the ranking list, many Miscellany School scholars mocked Fang Yun. They said that the reason why Fang Yun fought against the Miscellany School was finally revealed. It was to form low-level literary treasures.
With the departure of a large number of Miscellany School scholars and the end of the official examination, many scholars filled the Jingguo government.
