"Why do they all think that I abandoned the exam?"
Fang Yun thought about it carefully and finally understood that the news that these people received had changed hands several times. It should have changed from "Fang Yun might have abandoned the exam" to "Fang Yun must have abandoned the exam" to "Everyone saw Fang Yun abandoning the exam".
The Empress Dowager's words were very obvious. It seemed that she was very angry at first, but later on, she used her power to investigate and found that he didn't abandon the exam at all. However, the Empress Dowager was obviously still not sure. After all, there were many outsiders in the examination hall and she had to wait for the results to be out before she could make a conclusion.
Fang Yun looked at the letters again and realized that Cai He didn't mention abandoning the exam at all. The Grand Yuan Residence was very close to Ji County, so it seemed that Cai He's information was more accurate.
Hence, Fang Yun replied to Cai He, "I left after finishing the exam in advance, but some people mistakenly said that I abandoned the exam. In fact, everything was normal. I can't say the inside story, but everything will be revealed after the results are released. "
"Oh, I see. In fact, it's fine for you to leave in advance, but I'm afraid that someone will use this opportunity to attack you for despising the Half-saint examiners. If I'm not wrong, there will definitely be criticism from the Ten Nations tomorrow, and it will get more and more intense. Even if you can pass the examination in the end, they will also accuse you of despising the Half-saint examiners! "
Fang Yun's expression became unusually cold because before Cai He's reminder, Zong Wude had already said that some Gyeongo people had already joined forces to attack his Literary Name.
Fang Yun didn't answer immediately and instead stood by the dim street to think quietly. A moment later, he sent another letter to Cai He.
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Cai. I didn't want to say much about this matter at first, but since some people think that they can slander and attack me at will, they are wrong! Don't they want to stir up trouble? I'll add fuel to the fire for them! Lord Cai, how about you do me a small favor? "
"Oh? How can I help? "
"Say that you're cutting ties with me because I abandoned the exam and spread the news that I actually had to leave the examination hall in advance. The reason why I said that I had finished the exam was to cover up my lack of knowledge!"
After a long while. Cai He sent another letter.
"I vaguely understand what you mean, but are you sure you can make a powerful counterattack?"
"Since I dared to do it, I have full confidence in it!"
"Good! Then let's imitate Zhou Yu's attack on Huang Gai and play the trick of injuring oneself to gain the enemy's confidence! Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that it will be done perfectly. Let's wait for the good news together on the fifth day of the new year! "
Fang Yun thanked Cai He and began to think about how to send a letter to the Empress Dowager. This was his first time contacting the Empress Dowager. Even if it was just a letter, he could not be careless. Thus, he recalled the books he had read before. After establishing the Three Kingdoms, he began to address the Empress Dowager as Your Highness.
"Your Highness the Empress Dowager, I, Fang Yun, have studied hard day and night, and was granted the opportunity to take the imperial examination by the Emperor's grace. I am grateful and have no disrespect to the imperial examination, the Half-saint, and the Holy Path. It's just that today your subject's strategy discussion has been blessed by Half-saint, and the test paper has already been decided. Only then did I leave the examination hall. Your subject has always been devoted to the Holy One; how can I deal with the enemy country's vile people who have formed a clique to defame me? Unfortunately, there is no law to punish those vile people. Thus, I discussed with Ji County's County Magistrate Cai He and decided to use the ruse of injuring oneself to gain the enemy's confidence and punish the evildoers as a warning to the world. "
After a long time, Fang Yun finally received the Empress Dowager's letter.
"I understand."
Subsequently. Fang Yun gritted his teeth and continued to carry out his plan of injuring himself to gain the Empress Dowager's confidence. Other than the letter to Li Wenying, the letter to everyone else was the same.
"I'm giving up on the examination. I want to be alone. "
After sending the letter, Fang Yun changed his direction and did not go to his uncle's house. Instead, he went to his own house in Great Yuan City. Although he had not stayed there for many days, he had hired people to look after it, so he could stay there at any time.
Along the way, the Wen Marquis Golden Seal kept receiving letters. Fang Yun read them one by one.
"We will all return to the Great Yuan Residence tomorrow. Wait for us!" Li Fanming's reply was extremely simple but filled with strength.
"See you tomorrow." Yan Yukong's reply was even simpler.
His friends in the Holy Ground replied one by one. Their replies were simple and heartwarming.
Fang Yun felt guilty for deceiving them. However, when he recalled that his poem in One Breath had been leaked in the Holy Ground, he could only harden his heart and continue his plan of injuring himself to gain the Empress Dowager's confidence. He would definitely apologize to them after he succeeded.
The others replied one after another. Fang Yun thought that those familiar with him would be flustered and exasperated, but he did not expect their replies to be shockingly consistent.
"Don't think about anything. Have a good sleep after taking a bath."
"Have a good sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
"I gave up on the examination for three years before I was enlightened. This is nothing. If you want to drink with someone, remember to call me!"
"If we meet, I won't beat you up. I'll think of a way to get you a Royal Eagle Demon. If possible, I'll try to get you a Sacred Eagle Demon. However, don't expect too much. "Fang Yun secretly laughed at Zhang Poyue's poor method of comforting others.
After reading all the letters, no one criticized him.
Fang Yun felt gratified and guilty at the same time. He thought to himself that if the final result was out and his plan succeeded, he would have to apologize together with them.
Fang Yun returned to his house in the Da Yuan Mansion. After chatting with the housekeeper for a while, he ordered the housekeeper to close the door and refuse to see anyone.
Two hours later, the number of letters received by the official seal reached a small peak. Fang Yun continued to receive important news.
"The Empress Dowager gathered the officials overnight to take away your title. She will issue a reprimand in a few days."
"Although the civil officials of the Minister of the Left appear to be regretful, many of them are secretly happy."
"The Empress Dowager is furious. She ignored the objections of the officials and decided to take away your title in just half an hour! Take away your title! She also sent the officials to take you to the capital and ground you in the Academy for three years! "
"It is said that you scared His Majesty to tears. Many officials of the Minister of the Left found excuses to scold you for making His Majesty cry."
"The students of Gyeongo have already started to write all kinds of slanderous poems and essays to attack you."
"The people of Wu Guo have also gathered and held a literary meeting overnight. The people of the Juwen Pavilion are preparing to slander you tomorrow. "
"I didn't want to tell you this news, but in order to prevent you from getting into trouble, I told you the truth. I hope you can take it. A noble family of the Kingdom of Shu is boycotting you. They think you are looking down on the Half-saint examiner. They have even set off to the Notre-Dame to ask the Notre-Dame to punish you. The father of this family head is the great scholar Sai Xiaoyu. You should know who his teacher is. You must be prepared. I am afraid this matter will become more and more serious. "
After reading the last letter, Fang Yun was stunned. Then he clapped his hands and laughed. He stood up and bowed in the direction of the Notre-Dame.
"Thank you for your help, Mi Sheng."
The great scholar Sai Xiaoyu was the disciple of the Half-saint Mi Fengdian of Shu. Mi Fengdian was the Half-saint examiner of today's High Scholar Examinations.
Fang Yun never thought that the Half-saint would help him. It seemed that the Half-saint couldn't stand those people jumping up and down. The three "A" letters might have been written by Mi Fengdian.
Fang Yun was full of smiles. With Mi Fengdian's help, this matter could be said to be foolproof. Everything was ready, except for the release of the results.
All kinds of letters came one after another. Although those people didn't want to tell him this serious news, they understood that it was better to say it sooner rather than later. If Fang Yun didn't know about it and caused trouble, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fang Yun knew that his good friend was probably anxious. The Empress Dowager sent the Prime Minister to arrest him. This was the most severe punishment. The Prime Minister was a great scholar. Even a traitor wouldn't send a great scholar. Sending a great scholar was an obvious sign that they didn't trust him. They thought he might escape.
Not long after, another piece of news came.
"The prefectural army of the Jade Sea Prefecture has received an order to put you under house arrest immediately!"
After receiving this news, Fang Yun thought that the Empress Dowager was really amazing. She had thought of all the details. He and County Magistrate Cai had played the trick of injuring themselves to gain sympathy, but it was not as effective as a few words from the Empress Dowager and Mi Fengdian.
Fang Yun could already imagine how excited those scholars who usually slandered him would be. They probably wouldn't even be able to sleep. Early tomorrow morning, there would definitely be a large number of speeches and poems attacking him.
"Write, the more vicious the better. Show the most despicable things in your hearts! Wait for the release of the results on the fifth day of the new year. The results will be revealed soon! "
Fang Yun walked out of his bedroom and went to the courtyard. He looked up at the stars in the sky.
The moon couldn't be seen on the night of the second day of the new year. The stars in the sky were as bright as gems. The Literati Star in the sky was even brighter.
Looking at the Literati Star, Fang Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.
After a while, Fang Yun thought of Yang Yuhuan. He walked into the study and took out a brush and ink to write.
"When will the moon appear? With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky … I hope that we will be together for a long time. I also have a jade bracelet. "
His talent stirred up the energy of heaven and earth. The paper burned and a bright full moon appeared in front of him like a round door.
Through the door, Fang Yun saw Yang Yuhuan playing the zither with her eyes closed. The little fox was lying on her lap and listening quietly. A small meteor was spinning in the air as if it was dancing.
Nunu's ears twitched and she looked forward. She saw Fang Yun walking out of the door. At this time, Fang Yun's body was made of translucent moonlight. He looked very handsome, like a celestial being.
"Ying ying!" Nunu suddenly pounced and jumped into Fang Yun's arms. She then rolled around and acted like a spoiled child.
Yang Yuhuan was overjoyed at first. She quickly stood up and asked in surprise, "Little Yun, why are you here? Aren't you taking the High Scholar Examination? Aren't you in the examination hall? You can't be here to see me with this poem. "
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I'm done with the examination, so I came to see you. However, there are some surprises. You have to be prepared. The results will be revealed on the fifth day of the new year. "
"Yes, Little Yun is a great talent. It's natural for him to take the examination faster than others. What kind of surprises will there be? "Yang Yuhuan asked with a smile.
"It's a long and complicated story. You will know when the results are released on the fifth day. Don't go out for the next few days. Just stay at home. If anyone suddenly treats you badly, remember it. Do you understand? "
"Yes." Yang Yuhuan was puzzled, but she still nodded obediently.
Fang Yun caressed Nunu and said to Yang Yuhuan, "Pack your things at home on the fifth day of the new year. You don't have to go to the Da Yuan Residence anymore. If there are no accidents, I will bring you to the capital city. "
"Okay, I'll be prepared. I heard that the capital city is very cold and sandstorms are strong. I have to be prepared. "
"The sandstorms outside the city are stronger than in Jiang District. However, there is a holy temple in the city, so there won't be any sandstorms."
"Still, you have to be prepared, just in case. I'll ask those who have lived in the capital city and prepare everything that needs to be prepared. I'm not familiar with the capital city, so I'll be in a hurry. "
"You call the shots at home. The power of this poem is about to be exhausted. I'm going back. You should rest early. "
"You too."
