After sending Fang Daniu away, Fang Yun was worried about the future of the Three Character Classic. He had thought more highly of the Romance of the Western Chamber, but Tales of a Pillow was in the limelight.
Although the Three Character Classic was good, it was still just an elementary reading material. It didn't have any wonderful Holy Way principles, and it didn't have much talent. The family might pay attention to it, but the big shots might not. It might take many years for it to become famous.
"I hope Grand Secretary Li can promote it. Otherwise, it won't be as popular as popular novels."
Fang Daniu took the order and the Three Character Classic that Registrar Zhou gave to Fang Yun. He drove the carriage to the Academy of Literature and was led to Registrar Zhou's room by a small official.
After entering the room, Fang Daniu said, "Greetings, Lord Zhou. I'm here to deliver a short letter and a copy of the Three Character Classic under the order of my young master, Fang Yun. Please have a look."
"The Three Character Classic?" Registrar Zhou didn't know what it was, but he was happy. He quickly walked over and grabbed the paper. He looked at it and snorted.
"Who copied this?"
"My young master asked me to copy it."
Registrar Zhou looked at the letter again and found that it wasn't Fang Yun's handwriting. He was so angry that he laughed.
"You can leave. I'll review this book."
"I'll take my leave."
After Fang Daniu left, Registrar Zhou carefully read the Three Character Classic.
The Three Character Classic written by Fang Yun was only 1500 words. Registrar Zhou finished reading it quickly.
"He's a monster! Why didn't I think of such a good idea? Three words in a sentence. The rhyme is simple, but it talks about the simplest Holy Way. It includes historical figures, astronomy, and geography. It's not profound, but it's suitable for beginners. It's similar to the Romance of the Western Chamber and Tales of a Pillow. Although it might not be able to be promoted in a country, it's not difficult to promote in a prefecture or even a prefecture. "
Registrar Zhou read it carefully and thought, "It's still a beginners' book. It's unknown whether it can be circulated, and the chances of it being published in the Holy Road are slim. The literati of various countries have compiled many books for enlightenment, but only the Thousand Character Classic and the Hundred Family Surnames can be published in the Holy Road. It is said that only Half-saint can publish them. "
Registrar Zhou took Fang Yun's letter and thought, "There's a hidden meaning in his words. Looking for someone of virtue and prestige? I still have a long way to go. Bathing in the Divine Path? He knows the rules. I'm not qualified enough, so I can only ask the College Master to comment. Hmph, since you snatched my 'Tales of a Pillow' manuscript, I'll leave this laborious task to you. "
Registrar Zhou brought the manuscripts to the monarch's hall. Without knocking, he pushed the door open and entered. With a long face, he spoke in a deathly tone, "Your Excellency, the double-armored Sage Scholar Fang Yun has written a primer called the 'Three Character Classic'. He would like to invite a person of virtue and prestige to spread the glory of the Divine Path. I've thought about it from left to right and realized that it would be difficult for anyone else to take on this important task. Therefore, I would like to ask the Headmaster to annotate it one by one, and then print it out for the Fang family's students to study. "
"Leave it here."
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in a black robe. He seemed to be in his early thirties, but was actually close to fifty years old. His eyebrows were black and dense, like two swords hanging above his eyes. Even if he was expressionless, he was full of murderous intent.
This was Li Wenying, the College Master of Jiang Zhou's College of Literature. Jingguo's Empress Dowager once called him "Duke of Jianmei". This title was very appropriate and spread later.
"Hmph!" Registrar Zhou snorted and put down the manuscripts. He cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Li Wenying's face flashed a smile. He reached out and took the manuscripts. He looked carefully and found that the words were neither Fang Yun's nor Registrar Zhou's. The smile on his face disappeared.
"People's hearts are not what they used to be." Li Wenying thought to himself as he carefully read the 'Three Character Classic'.
Li Wenying only read it once and memorized more than fifteen hundred words. He then closed his eyes and thought quietly.
After a while, Li Wenying smiled again and thought to himself, "This Fang Yun is really extraordinary. Even Registrar Zhou couldn't see his true intentions. Fine, let me write a note and spread my Literary Name, then I'll help you promote the 'Three Character Classic'. It's difficult to spread it around the world, but it's not difficult to spread it around Jingguo. Moreover, although this book is useless for examiners, it's a good starting point. As for whether it can be listed in the 'Holy Road', I'm not sure. I'll recommend it together with 'Tales of a Pillow'. "
"Unfortunately, it's not Fang Yun's handwriting. His' Tales of a Pillow 'is very charming and worth learning. Maybe it can help my calligraphy to a higher level. "
Li Wenying had just put down the manuscripts when Qiu Xuezheng's voice came from outside the door. "I have something to report."
"Come in." Li Wenying said and looked at the door.
Qiu Xuezheng smiled and held a stack of manuscripts in his hands. "Your Excellency, you've focused on education and made Jiangzhou's learning culture grow stronger day by day. I've just received an elementary reading material called the 'Three Character Classic'. It was written by an elementary scholar in the prefectural city. Although his literary talent is limited, it's very suitable for teaching elementary students. "
Li Wenying's sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly before he regained his composure. "Let me see it."
"Yes." Qiu Xuezheng bowed and presented the manuscripts with both hands.
Li Wenying flipped through a few pages. It was exactly the same as the 'Three Character Classic' he had received before.
"Good! Very good. I want to meet the author. Can you bring him here? "
Qiu Xuezheng's face was full of joy. "He's in the Wen Academy. I'll call him over."
"Go quickly. I want to see which scholar it is."
"Yes."
Not long after, Qiu Xuezheng brought Lu Yinnian over. Lu Yinnian immediately bowed and said, "Student Lu Yinnian greets Your Excellency."
Li Wenying smiled faintly. "Was this' Three Character Classic 'your work?"
Lu Yinnian replied, "It was indeed written by this student. However, during the process of writing this' Three Character Classic ', I also communicated with various teachers in the family academy and only managed to complete it after several revisions. The teachers of the Fang clan academy also contributed to this. "
"The Fang clan academy? I heard Fang Dayan invited Fang Shuangjia to teach at the academy. Is this true? "
Lu Yinnian's heartbeat sped up and a trace of bewilderment flashed through his eyes. "The chief planner is also in the academy."
Although the two were six meters apart, Li Wenying could hear Lu Yinnian's heartbeat like a drum.
"Since the 'Three Character Classic' was written by you, then there's no problem. Just before you came, Fang Yun pretended to be the author of the 'Three Character Classic' and presented a copy of it exactly like yours. Don't worry, I'll uphold justice for you. I'll send people to capture Fang Yun right now and then ask the imperial court to determine who the real author is. If Fang Yun confesses in advance, then that's fine. At most, I'll reprimand him a bit. If he refuses to admit his mistake, then once the truth is out, I'll definitely strip him of his civil rank and forbid nine generations of his family from participating in the imperial examinations. Then, I'll exile him to the grassland barbarians' territory and leave his life to fate. Eh? Why is your face so pale? You're sweating so much and your legs are shaking? "
Li Wenying's aura rose steadily as he spoke. His talent energy stirred up the surrounding air and caused the pages of the book to flip.
Lu Yinnian felt his ears hurt and his hands couldn't help but wipe away his sweat.
Qiu Xuezheng, who was experienced in politics, only heard half of the conversation before he realized what was going on. When Li Wenying finished speaking, he immediately knelt down and said loudly, "Milord, please enlighten me. This lowly one is on good terms with the Fang clan, but I really didn't know about this matter. No matter how stupid I am, I wouldn't dare to covet Fang Yun's work, much less bring him to see you. Milord, although this lowly one is usually a bit greedy, I wouldn't dare participate in a matter like this that involves stripping someone of their civil rank. "
Qiu Xuezheng's face was covered in tears as he spoke. In his heart, he was cursing Lu Yinnian and Madam Fang to the bone. These fools, didn't they know that Fang Yun was the focus of the entire academy's attention? Even Liu Zicheng didn't dare to make a move openly, so how could these two fools dare to steal Fang Yun's work?!
Lu Yinnian was scared out of his wits. He couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kowtow while begging for mercy.
"This lowly one admits his mistake! This lowly one saw that the work was too good and was bewitched by my aunt. Thus, this lowly one borrowed a copy of the Three Character Classic from another teacher and began to copy it again. I confess and am willing to be punished. I hope that you will be lenient and keep my civil rank. Please don't implicate my three clans. "
Li Wenying sneered. "I only said that Fang Yun would be scolded at most if he confessed. When did I say anything about your punishment? Scram, you cultured scum! "
As soon as Li Wenying finished speaking, Lu Yinnian felt as if he had been struck by an invisible sledgehammer. He flew back with a bang and landed fifteen meters away, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.
The scholar's lips moved and his words were hurtful.
"Men, strip this scholar of his robes and throw him into prison. Wait for the Notre-Dame to come and seize his civil rank!"
"Yes!" The soldiers in the courtyard pounced forward like wolves and tigers, dragging Lu Yinnian out.
Lu Yinnian was so angry that he groaned a few times before fainting.
"Who is Lu Yinnian's aunt?" Li Wenying asked.
Qiu Xuezheng replied, "She is the official wife of the Fang family's second young master, Madam Fang. She was the one who brought Lu Yinnian to find me. Otherwise, how could I believe that Lu Yinnian could write such a good piece of work?"
Li Wenying thought of the dispute between the two branches of the Fang family. He pondered for a moment before saying, "As a madam conferred by the imperial court, she actually instigated the younger generation to steal someone else's work. This is a serious crime, but considering the Fang family's contributions to the country, we will punish them according to the circumstances. Pass down the order of the court. Find a residence outside the Fang family and imprison Madam Fang for three years. She is not allowed to leave her residence for three years. I will ask the imperial court to revoke her title and she will not be conferred any more. "
"Yes."
Li Wenying glanced at the two manuscripts on the table and said in a low voice, "Idiot!"
Then Li Wenying personally wrote a simple letter explaining what had happened. He asked the bailiff to ask Registrar Zhou where Fang Yun lived and deliver the letter.
After Fang Yun received the letter, he walked back into the room and opened it. The little fox Nunu was on the table.
After Fang Yun finished reading the letter, he threw it in front of Nunu and said with a smile, "Idiot, even our Nunu is smarter than him."
Nunu smiled brightly and nodded vigorously.
"This is called the evils we bring upon ourselves. Let's go, Nunu. Follow me to the Fang family and tell Auntie about this."
"Wuwuwu …" Nunu jumped excitedly. This was the first time Fang Yun took her out.
Fang Yun called Yang Yuhuan and visited the Fang family together. After telling them about this matter, they left.
The night view of the Dayuan Mansion was very beautiful. Fang Yun held Yang Yuhuan's hand with his right hand and Nunu with his left as they strolled around the streets.
