Zong Ganyu continued, "The Old Man is selfish towards the Zong family and towards the School of Miscellany, but he has never sacrificed Gyeongo's interests! The Zong family and Gyeongo are intimately interdependent. "
Everyone was shocked again. Zong Ganyu did not have much time left to speak so directly. What Zong Ganyu was saying was that once the Zong Sheng's Divine Path was obstructed or even suppressed by Fang Yun, it would be a disaster for Gyeongo if he died.
Gyeongo had countless geniuses, but no one could become a Saint in a short period of time.
Yan Yukong's talent was no less than Yi Zhishi's, and he even surpassed him in many aspects. However, Yan Yukong was not Fang Yun, and it was impossible for him to become a Saint in a short period of time.
Other than Yan Yukong, no one in Gyeongo dared to say that they had the potential to become a Half-saint.
Zu Chongzhi was born in Gyeongo, but he was nearing the end of his lifespan.
Therefore, once the Zong Sheng died, Gyeongo would be unable to replace him, and it would definitely be annexed.
Some people were silent, especially the disciples of the aristocratic families. They lowered their eyes and did not look at others.
For example, the Xisheng family.
As for the Xunzi family, no one came.
The Xunzi family's attitude was obvious.
The head of the Dai Sheng family, Dai Lang, said, "The Dai family will protect Gyeongo!"
Many people were secretly relieved. The Dai family was a Confucian family, and Dai Sheng was the master of the Book of Rites. He had a respected status.
However, when the crowd looked at the Dai family, there was a trace of pity.
This was because everyone knew that Fang Yun's attack on the Divine Path of Rites was unprecedented. Even ordinary scholars could see that even if the Divine Path of Rites didn't weaken in the future, it would be difficult for it to grow under the suppression of Fang Yun and Legalism.
The Dai family had no choice but to support the Zong family in order to prevent their Divine Path from being damaged.
If they did not support the Zong family, they would have no chance. If they supported the Zong family, they would have a chance.
In the battle of Divine Paths, there was only victory and defeat. There was no retreat.
Zong Ganyu nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Dai. Gyeongo is in danger. Are you still hesitating? "
Everyone was silent.
After that, more and more people came out to support him, but the total number of people was never more than half.
After a long time, the new Minister of Rites, Tan Wei, said, "There is something I don't understand and would like to ask Mister Zong."
"There's no harm in speaking frankly," Zong Ganyu said.
"How far has Saint Zong's plan gone?"
Everyone was shocked, but then they fell into deep thought.
In fact, this was the key to everything.
If Zong Sheng was really plotting against the two races and had a great plan, his contribution to the Human Race would not be less than Fang Yun's. Then, Fang Yun would not be able to do anything to Zong Sheng.
However, if Zong Sheng's plan was just a bluff or had no chance of success, then there was no need for them to support Gyeongo.
Zong Ganyu smiled faintly and said, "Yesterday, I just asked my father."
Everyone was even more shocked as they looked at Zong Ganyu in disbelief. It was not because Zong Ganyu knew about Zong Sheng's grand plan, but because he realized that Zong Ganyu might want to reveal it to the outside world.
"I wonder if Brother Zong can tell us?" Tan Wei asked.
Zong Ganyu glanced at the crowd again and said slowly, "If you don't want to know, you can leave the hall and return after a while."
Suddenly, there was a slight disturbance in the hall.
Some people were talking to each other through telepathy while others were whispering.
Soon, some of the aristocratic families and scholars walked out of the hall and stood outside the door.
The total number was close to a quarter.
The Zong family looked coldly at the back of those people and gritted their teeth.
Then, the door of the hall closed.
Those people waited outside. At first, they did not speak. After a long time, a scholar from the House of Historian walked up to the Xi Family Lord and bowed, "May I ask if Mister Xi has anything to say?"
All the scholars outside the hall hurriedly looked at the Xi Family Lord. They did not miss any of his movements and eyes. They wanted to peel off his skin to know what he was thinking.
Xi Sheng was the Half-saint of the House of Historian. He had a long lifespan and it was because of his long lifespan that Gyeongo had three saints.
Even though after Zong Sheng's rise to fame, Xi Sheng kept a low profile and resigned from all his positions as a Notre-Dame to focus on his cultivation. However, everyone, especially the scholars from the House of Historian, knew that things were not that simple.
What the scholars from the House of Historian wanted to do the most was not to study the past but to foresee the future!
Everyone thought that Xi Sheng had prepared a backup plan for the Xi Family.
Half of the reason why these people came out was because of the Xi Family's reaction!
The Xi Family would never stand on the wrong side!
Xi Sheng also did not make a mistake when he was young!
Not long ago, there was a discussion about the timing of Xi Sheng's death. Coincidentally, it was when Fang Yun became one of the Six Headed Scholars. Many people suspected that Xi Sheng had foreseen Fang Yun's success and that was why he did not need to spend so much effort to maintain his lifespan.
After Xi Sheng's death, the Xi Family suddenly became estranged from Zong Sheng. Instead, they kept on friendly relations with Fang Yun and had a close relationship with Jingguo.
Now, the Xi Family had control over 20% of the trade between Gyeongo and Jingguo. Even when the Dragons banned the sea, the Xi Family's ships could still sail freely.
Mister Xi smiled but did not answer. He straightened his back and looked into the distance.
When the crowd saw Mister Xi's reaction, for some reason, their confidence was boosted.
The scholars who came out were mostly older. They grew up listening to the legends of Xi Sheng and their admiration for Xi Sheng was much higher than Zong Sheng.
Some of them had their families suppressed by the Zong Family and had no choice but to side with the Xi Family.
Not long after, the door to the hall opened again and the people from the outside entered.
They observed the people inside the hall carefully and they felt uneasy.
Because the scholars inside suddenly had a kind of unprecedented confidence. It was not like the pride before victory, but more like the joy after victory.
They looked at the people who walked out with contempt and even a hint of schadenfreude.
The more they walked in, the more uneasy they felt. They sneaked a peek at Zong Ganyu and did not notice anything out of the ordinary. Then, they looked at the Xi Family and saw that they were all smiling.
No matter how far Zong Sheng's plan had progressed and no matter how confident the Zong Family was, if the Xi Family was not afraid, then they had nothing to fear.
The door slammed shut.
Zong Ganyu said slowly, "Since this is a meeting of the officials, then we will vote according to the old rules. The Old Man proposed the first vote and that is to start a state war with Jingguo and end with the retaking of Xiang State! "
Not only the people who just walked out, even the people who were inside were surprised. They did not expect Zong Ganyu to propose such a proposal.
Then, they realized that the second Battle of Two Worlds Mountain had ended and Fang Yun had returned. Both countries had Half-saint in charge and they could start a state war!
The War of Provinces was the Human Race's last resort.
If there was a huge conflict between the two countries that could not be resolved and the Sages and Notre-Dame did not want to see the two countries go to war, then one country could start a state war.
The Province Seizing War had many strict conditions.
