The elders of the Punishment Hall did not expect Fang Yun to not give up. Gao Mo was immediately discouraged. "Fang Xusheng, it will take me two or three days to activate the Marquis Lu Seal. I hope you will think it through before that."
"If I've thought things through, not only will I hand over the official examination, but I'll also introduce the constitution into the School of Miscellany. What will I do then?" Fang Yun's face carried an extremely faint expression of mockery as he looked at the elders of the Punishment Hall across from him.
The elders of the Punishment Hall felt a headache coming on.
"Ahem, you can't say that. The Constitution is clearly related to the school of Legalism, not the school of Miscellany."
"It's not the school of Miscellany, but it's related to that person."
Fang Yun was referring to Zong Sheng.
The expressions of the elders changed slightly.
Many scholars already knew that Zong Sheng had always been plotting to strengthen the school of Miscellany, and had even intended to swallow up the school of Vertical and Horizontal. If Fang Yun really offered the Constitution to Zong Sheng, Zong Sheng would not mind taking a bite out of the Legalism Divine Path.
After all, Zong Sheng needed all the power to strengthen himself.
For the other schools, recklessly absorbing the Divine Path might lead to danger, but the school of Miscellany had originally proposed the slogan of "combining Confucianism and Mohism, combining names with Legalism". As long as it was a human Divine Path, the school of Miscellany had a way to take it for itself.
Gao Mo thought for a moment and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. We have already agreed with the school of Miscellany that before the Legalism Divine Path Conference is completed, the school of Miscellany cannot take action. Therefore, in the next few days, we may have to trouble you to explain everything related to the Constitution to us Legalism scholars. "
Fang Yundao said, "I have already given the Constitution to your school of Legalism for free. If you want me to explain it, no problem. You just have to pay the corresponding price. If the school of Miscellany wants it, I, Fang Yun, can't? "
"Of course, of course. How much do you want?" Gao Mo agreed readily.
"Protect Jingguo for ten years."
"I can't do that," Gao Mo rejected immediately.
"Five years," Fang Yundao said.
"Not to mention five years, I can't even do it in a month. Old Man has already made his stance clear. He is duty-bound to protect you, but he is powerless to protect Jingguo, "Gao Mo explained seriously.
"Then after the Saint Dao Literary Conference, your Fa family will just leave?" Fang Yun asked.
Gao Mo said, "The Old Man will still stay here to prevent Zajia from going back on his word and harming you."
"It seems that you don't trust me that much."
Gao Mo said meaningfully, "There's no harm in being on guard against Zajia."
Fang Yun pondered for a moment and said, "It's not a problem for me to lecture on the Constitution. It's also not a problem for me to attend the Saint Dao Conference and express some of my thoughts on the future of Legalism. However, I want a Pardon Talisman. "
Gao Mo was stunned, and the group of pavilion elders also found it strange.
With Fang Yun's contributions to Legalism, and with Fang Yun's status as Xusheng, if he really did something, Legalism could only think of ways to protect him. Logically speaking, Fang Yun did not need a Pardon Talisman.
The Pardon Talisman was a keepsake created by the Punishment Hall and Legalism many years ago. At that time, the human race was in serious internal strife, and the Divine Path was in turmoil. In order to protect a few people, and also to achieve some kind of exchange of benefits, the Punishment Hall and Legalism created the Pardon Talisman.
The Punishment Hall had created less than twenty Pardon Talismans, and they had not been given out after the Western Han Dynasty. Now, very few people knew about this keepsake.
This keepsake itself did not have much power, but it had an extremely powerful effect.
The Punishment Hall and Legalism could judge everyone in the human race. Sometimes, the Punishment Hall and Legalism would forgive some people's crimes, but the Legalism Saint might not forgive and would constantly target them.
The Pardon Talisman was created by Half-saint of Legalism. Once used, not only would it eliminate all crimes, neither Legalism nor the Punishment Hall would pursue the matter, but it would also eliminate the Legalism Saint's targeting. It was a keepsake that could truly wash away all crimes.
Gao Mo thought for a moment, then said, "The Punishment Hall still has three unused Pardon Talismans. If you really want to use this as a reward, we can send it to you tomorrow."
"As soon as you receive the Pardon Talisman, I will explain the Constitution to you," Fang Yun said.
"Okay!"
Fang Yun was about to stand up, but Gao Mo coughed lightly, revealing a very awkward expression, and said, "Fang Xusheng, can't you reconsider the matter between you and the School of Miscellany? As long as you agree to give up Jingguo, after you become a Saint, we will definitely do our best to help you rebuild it. "
"You want me to leave Jingguo? Sure, but wait until they break my spine!" Fang Yun finished speaking and walked out of the meeting room.
"Sigh …"
Gao Mo let out a long sigh.
The content of the conversation between Fang Yun and the elder of the Punishment Hall did not affect the outside world at all.
All the scholars of the School of Legalism rushed to Jingguo's capital, and all the Jingguo people were overjoyed. They believed that Jingguo could be saved, and that the School of Legalism would do their best to help Jingguo.
Jingguo was filled with cheers and laughter praising Fang Yun.
In everyone's eyes, Jingguo's crisis had finally been resolved.
However, as soon as Fang Yun walked out of the meeting room, he received a message from the palace.
The Empress Dowager had called for a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, and only the Cabinet of Ministers and Cabinet of Ministers were allowed to attend.
Due to the increase in Jingguo's government and the addition of many new departments, the number of Cabinet of Ministers had increased as well.
When Fang Yun entered the palace, there were already thirty-one Cabinet of Ministers present. There were also seven Cabinet of Ministers who used the power of the Holy Temple to appear in the form of projections.
Fang Yun was the last to enter. He scanned the people in the hall and nodded slightly. The others did not bow and only nodded in greeting.
The Empress Dowager sat in the main seat in the middle. After Fang Yun sat down, everyone else took their seats.
Those who sat there were all important members of Jingguo.
The Empress Dowager pondered for a few seconds and said, "Fang Xusheng, the Cabinet of Ministers' meeting this time is mainly about the matter between the School of Miscellany and the School of Legalism. I would like to know if the School of Legalism and the Punishment Hall are prepared to help Jingguo with all their might. "
Fang Yun's expression was serious. After thinking for a few seconds, he slowly said, "After the Sage Dao Conference, the School of Legalism will leave the capital."
The expressions of all the officials changed drastically. Although Fang Yun did not say it directly, the meaning behind his words was very obvious.
"In that case, the secret deal between the School of Miscellany and the School of Legalism is true?" the Empress Dowager asked.
Fang Yun nodded slightly.
"The Cabinet Elders of the Punishment Hall are looking for you for something. Can you reveal a little?"
Fang Yundao said, "The main thing is that they invited me to participate in the Sage Dao Conference, and I agreed. In addition … the School of Legalism is willing to help me at a critical moment."
Everyone's expressions turned from dark to sunny. The Empress Dowager heaved a sigh of relief. Her voice was unusually clear. In order to hide her embarrassment, she picked up the teacup and drank.
Cao Dean noticed that Fang Yun's expression was still serious. He frowned and blurted out, "Only to help you?"
The expressions of all the officials and the Empress Dowager changed again. They all understood the meaning behind Cao Dean's words.
Fang Yun sighed deeply and said, "Only to help me."
With a bang, the teacup in the Empress Dowager's hand fell to the ground.
The hall regained its calm.
"I received news that the School of Miscellany is prepared to go all out and might use the School of Miscellany's Divine Path. Is this true?" The Empress Dowager stared at Fang Yun's eyes.
