Therefore, there was a saying that had been circulating in Kongcheng.
The Kongcheng family would not be arrested for any crime. If a member of the Kongcheng family was arrested, it must have offended another member of the Kongcheng family.
Tears of blood flowed from these witty words.
After Zhang Xuan's reply caused a heated discussion, people who had been bullied by the Kongcheng family began to share their personal experiences.
Many scholars were filled with righteous indignation and gnashed their teeth in hatred.
Many people did not know that the Kongcheng family had done so many evil things.
Not long after, someone from Gyeongo posted a new article.
"It turns out that the person who stole Zhang Xuan's admission was the famous scholar, Kong Deyuan."
That person from Gyeongo used all kinds of detailed analysis and contacted Zhang Xuan's neighbors. In the end, he pointed all the blame at Kong Deyuan.
Therefore, a large number of angry scholars attacked and even cursed Kong Deyuan in their replies.
Because he had done something that all scholars feared and could not tolerate the most!
Using despicable means to steal someone else's promotion opportunity!
Even the scholars from Jingguo did not expect this. All the anger on the discussion list was like a river bursting through a dam, rushing thousands of miles away toward Kong Deyuan and the Kongcheng family.
This time, those who helped Fang Yun felt that things were not going well.
Because everyone knew that the best way to help Fang Yun was not to blame the Kongcheng family, but to prevent an all-out conflict between Fang Yun and the Kongcheng family.
Once the anger of the scholars rushed toward the Kongcheng family, the relationship between the Kongcheng family and Fang Yun would definitely crack, and they might even become enemies.
Therefore, many people realized that the Gyeongo family and the Kongcheng family were playing a game of driving the tiger to devour the wolf.
Therefore, many scholars hoped that everyone would calm down.
However, the fire quickly spread to Kongcheng.
Some righteous scholars, instigated by ulterior motives, gathered in front of the Kongcheng family's mansion and demanded an explanation from the Kongcheng family.
At first, not many people cared, but soon, more and more scholars came to support the Kongcheng family.
Three days later, more than 100,000 scholars from all over the world gathered in Kongcheng and demanded that the Kongcheng family punish the criminal.
Then, Fang Yun appeared on the discussion list again.
What shocked everyone was that Fang Yun actually added fuel to the fire!
Fang Yun published an article praising these scholars and felt that they had done the right thing. He was prepared to personally go to the Kong family and negotiate with the Kong family head. He hoped that the Kong family would follow the will of the people and admit their mistakes to prevent the situation from worsening.
In the end, Fang Yun also said that the Kong Family was the Kong Family, and the Kong Family's unfilial disciples were the Kong Family's unfilial disciples. The two could not be confused. Those unfilial disciples were not tigers' buttocks, so why couldn't they be touched?
Once this was published, the entire human race was shaken.
Half-saint of the human race rarely appeared on the list except for issuing imperial edicts. Only when the human race was in danger would he take action.
Even if I were to seal Jingguo, Half-saint would not make a move.
There were basically two reasons why Half-saint acted against their own people. One was to take revenge on their enemies, just like how Fang Yun killed Qing Jun. The second reason was to encounter a wicked person, such as killing a rebel.
Half-saint like Fang Yun who published an article on the discussion list were not only rare, but it was also against the Kong Family. It was simply unprecedented.
What puzzled everyone was that Fang Yun clearly said that he wanted to separate the Kong Family and the Kong Family's unfilial disciples. Why did he want to find the Kong family head?
After Fang Yun published his opinion, the discussion on the discussion list once again became heated.
Those who had originally attacked Fang Yun became Fang Yun's supporters at this moment. They desperately supported Fang Yun, hoping that Fang Yun would plead for the people and have the Kong Family hand over the criminals.
The development of the situation became extremely strange. Those low-ranking scholars were still arguing. Some supported the Kong Family, some supported Fang Yun, and some did not help either side.
However, Gao Wenwei's name completely disappeared from the list of scholars.
There were no Great Scholars or Great Scholars taking sides.
This was because this battle was likely to be far beyond anyone's imagination.
On one side was a peak Half-saint, possessing an undefeatable might. Dragon Subduing City, Controlling the Four Seas, and Stepping Flood Dragon Sage.
On the other side was the number one Noble Family of all time, the descendant of a Saint. They had dominated the world for thousands of years and their fame had spread far and wide.
Once conflict erupted between the two sides, the entire human race would be plunged into a catastrophe.
No one knew what Fang Yun was thinking.
No one knew what the Kong Family was thinking.
Thus, every Great Scholar and Great Scholar was careful.
Even the Great Scholar and Great Scholar of the Miscellaneous School, who hated Fang Yun to the bone, did not personally participate.
They were waiting for their last chance.
More and more scholars gathered in Kong City. Finally, the straw that broke the camel's back appeared.
The Disciplinary Hall's Elder, Shang Ke, published an article on the discussion list.
Shang Ke's article was not long. It was only a few hundred words and only had two viewpoints.
From a personal point of view, he believed that the Kong Family should enjoy special privileges. However, from the perspective of the Legalists and Sages, he believed that all the Noble Families, including the Kong Family, should give up on interfering with the law and hand over the Kong Family members who committed crimes to the judicial system.
It was not until Shang Ke appeared that all the scholars were shocked to discover that Shang Ke's request was the reform that Fang Yun had previously made in Jingguo.
Jingguo destroyed all the private prisons of the Noble Families and completely controlled the law in the hands of the state. This was a devastating blow to the local Noble Families.
In fact, Jingguo was even more ruthless than expected in the later stages.
The members of the Royal Family of Jingguo were originally not under the jurisdiction of the Three Law Divisions. However, after Fang Yun's reform, this privilege of the Royal Family was directly abolished.
In the future, other than the king, all the members of the Royal Family would be under the jurisdiction of the relevant judicial departments. The Royal Family had no right to interfere.
The judicial power of Jingguo was completely taken over by the Cabinet.
Now, Fang Yun's target was the Kong Family. To be more precise, it was the Noble Families.
The judicial power was completely taken over by the Punishment Hall!
Fang Yun had already joined forces with the Punishment Hall!
Ever since the School of Legalism was established, the battle between it and the Confucians had never ended. Back then, with Kong Sheng around, the School of Legalism did not dare to act rashly. In order to avoid fighting with the Confucians, they gradually stripped the School of Legalism of things related to politics and power. However, they were not completely stripped away.
Even a Half-saint like Han Feizi who emphasized power did not allow the School of Legalism to break away from its dependence on the king's authority.
It was not until Fang Yun's appearance and the long river of political Dao descended upon the human race that the chaotic Divine Path that affected legalism was completely stripped away.
Kong Sheng had already died. With Fang Yun's support, the School of Legalism did not hesitate to support him.
After Shang Ke published his article, many scholars and Confucians of the School of Legalism also published articles that they had long prepared.
As a result, the School of Legalism's spirit of taking over the world appeared on the rankings.
There were even some radical Legalists who said that if the Kong Family did not give a plan, the Punishment Hall would charge into the Kong Family and arrest them.
After that, Fang Yun announced an unprecedented imperial edict that offended almost all the Noble Families except the School of Legalism.
The Fang Family announced that they would completely give up their judicial power. All the crimes committed by the Fang Family members would be dealt with by the local law.
A single stone caused a thousand ripples. Very soon, the School of Legalism and the other Noble Families also announced that they would give up their judicial power.
Finally, the Kong Family announced that they would give up their judicial power. They also handed over the members of the Kong Family to the authorities of Kong City.
After the news spread, both the Kong Family and the rankings were filled with jubilation.
However, just as the scholars were celebrating that night, Fang Yun published an article on the rankings.
The article was called 'Criticizing Confucius'.
