It was common for officials to stay overnight in the palace, but it was rare for them to stay for three months at a time.
The officials understood that once the Constitution was released, the imperial power would be severely weakened, and the power of the imperial family would be eroded by other major forces. In order to protect herself, the Empress Dowager wanted to show the close relationship between Fang Yun and the imperial family by letting Fang Yun stay overnight. At the same time, she wanted to deepen the relationship between Fang Yun and Zhao Yuan. It was killing two birds with one stone.
The palace was indeed closer to the cabinet.
Fang Yun had always felt indebted to Zhao Yuan. After he became the Imperial Preceptor, he had been running around and had never had the time to teach Zhao Yuan properly. If it was only three months, it was not a long time.
"Alright, I promise to teach him for three months," Fang Yundao said.
"Thank you, Fang Xusheng," the Empress Dowager said.
"Empress Dowager, can you get up now?" Fang Yun asked.
The Empress Dowager stood up.
Then, everyone continued to discuss the controversial content of the Constitution until the morning of the third day after the formation of the Divine Path.
Since night fell, the sky above Jingguo was covered in dark clouds.
The dark clouds were thicker than usual, and they continued to increase. It was as if an endless continent was floating above Jingguo.
Even the stars were covered by the dark clouds.
Jingguo was supposed to be bathed in the sun at seven in the morning, but the entire Jingguo could not see the light of day.
A bone-piercing cold wind was blowing in the State of Jing in autumn.
Everyone's heart was heavy. Many private schools and academies had even let their students go on holiday.
Many shops in the capital were not open for business. Even the shopkeepers and workers of the shops that were open looked weak.
Everyone in the country received the news that the Divine Path of the School of Miscellany would explode the next day. When that happened, the entire Jingguo would be plunged into chaos.
Some scholars saw that the Sword of the Nation of Jingguo in the sky above the capital was about to fall to the ground. It was completely pressed back into the palace by the black seal.
When it was eight o 'clock in the morning, every temple in Jingguo suddenly emitted a powerful aura. Then, every temple began to broadcast a solemn voice in all directions.
"On behalf of the Emperor and the Cabinet, I hereby announce that the Constitution of Jingguo has been officially established!"
Before Fang Yun could finish speaking, heaven and earth shook violently as strange phenomena appeared.
The first thing that appeared above Jingguo was a thick black Codex. It was shaped like a book, but it was shrouded in clouds. It was huge and gave off a mysterious and vast aura.
When the code appeared, everyone who saw it had strange feelings in their hearts. They always felt that they were not doing well enough. Whether it was their words, actions, or thoughts, they did not conform to the law and needed to be corrected immediately.
Soon after, a set of shackles slowly appeared, standing on the same level as the Black Codex. This set of shackles seemed to be just hanging in the air, and no one was wearing it. However, it emitted a cold light, as if it could freeze the entire world.
Everyone who saw the Shackles of the Holy Path would think of the mistakes they had made in the past, and they would feel remorseful.
Those who had committed serious crimes would involuntarily turn themselves in at the nearby yamen after seeing the Shackles of the Holy Path. They would then honestly confess their crimes.
Suddenly, a crisp sound of a sword rang out. It was as loud as the sound of a phoenix and as long as the roar of a dragon.
Ordinary people could not see it, but the scholars could see that Jingguo's Sword of the Crop, which had almost been pressed back to the ground, was actually rising slowly.
The Sword of the Sky Splitter had broken through the heavens!
The auras of the two Holy Path treasures of the Legalists suddenly merged into one. Then, everyone in Jingguo saw a terrifying aura forming in the air and quickly rushing into the sky.
It was like a waterfall rising in reverse, but it was also like a divine pillar piercing through the sky. It pierced through thousands of miles of thick clouds and opened up a straight path.
At the end of the path was a huge black seal.
The huge black seal shook violently. Then, as if it had been hit by a heavy blow, it flew into the sky and stopped at an extremely high altitude.
At the same time, every scholar of the human race who majored or minored in miscellaneous arts heard the crisp sound of an egg falling to the ground and cracking.
A floating river appeared in the sky above Saint Origin World.
The river water was white and grey. It was chaotic, but its shape was like a boundless river. It stretched across the sky above Saint Origin World and was more than a hundred thousand miles wide.
Then, a strange scene occurred.
A crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the chaotic river. Then, the crack rapidly expanded.
Then, a portion of the chaotic river water separated from the main body along the crack. It took up one percent of the entire chaotic river.
This one percent seemed very small, but it caused the aura of the chaotic river to suddenly decrease.
The crack in the main body of the chaotic river did not heal. Instead, it continuously released a small amount of chaotic water into the chaotic river.
The chaotic river that had left the main body was like a long dragon. It rapidly flew toward the Shackles of the Holy Path and the Holy Path Codex.
The moment it reached the Shackles of the Holy Path and the Holy Path Codex, a huge suction force formed in the sky. Following the suction force was a black vortex with a diameter of several hundred thousand miles. The chaotic river entered the black vortex like a swallow returning to its nest.
The aura of the Holy Path Codex and the Shackles of the Holy Path, which represented the power of legalism, suddenly skyrocketed. It even blew away the thick black clouds that covered the sky above Saint Origin World.
Gyeongo, in the army camp outside Changfeng Prefecture.
An army of a hundred thousand was gathering.
The army of a hundred thousand human beings was usually led by a Grand Scholar. However, in this army, there were ten Grand Scholars, fifty Hanlin Scholars, and over eight hundred Jinshi. The overall strength of this army was almost equal to that of the elite army of Borderline Mountain.
If it wasn't for the fact that the human race rarely used grand scholars, there would be at least two of them here.
"Governor, how much longer do we have to wait?"
"When night falls, we will rush to Xiang Province's Ding County with the help of the Art of War. Then, we will take over Harmony Prefecture!"
Before he finished speaking, all the officials looked toward the sky.
The Holy Path was torn apart!
The next moment, Governor Xi Shi understood the cause and effect. He roared, "How dare you! You conspired against the School of Miscellany! Nine generations of your family will be executed!"
The other generals finally understood that a portion of the School of Miscellany's Holy Path had been torn apart by someone and then taken away by legalism!
"Governor, are we going to attack Xiang Province tomorrow …?" a general asked, trembling with fear.
Xi Shi was silent for a few moments. Then, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"After we take over Ding County, we will not seal our blades for six hours!"
All the generals were shocked. This meant that during the six hours after they took over Ding County, everyone could do whatever they wanted to the people of Ding County. There were no restrictions whatsoever.
This was often the cruel method that the demons and barbarians used against humans.
Jingguo, on the Grand Canal that led to the capital.
Passenger ships sailed on the surface of the river. Among them, the largest ship hung a large flag.
On it was the word 'Liu'.
Mount Liu stood at the bow of the ship and looked into the distance.
Suddenly, Mount Liu raised his head and looked at the sky.
Seeing the Holy Path being torn apart, Mount Liu clenched his teeth so hard that blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
The School of Miscellany behind him was dumbfounded.
"Duke Liu, are we still going to the capital?"
