"Dragon's Brain Inkstone, Ink Dragon Brush Wash. Fang Wenhou is really fast. Even the Half-saint family can only get Ink Dragon Brush Wash. This Dragon's Brain Inkstone is too precious. Even the Hanlin Academy of the Half-saint family can't get it, "Qiao Juze said enviously.
"Of course I have to thank Jian Ming and Assistant Minister Tong. If Fang Yun successfully passes the five pavilions of the Lingyan Pavilion today, he will be able to get the Lei family's Dragon Ascension Stone. I have to thank them again. "
"This is nothing, this poem is the main point. I wonder what special poems Lord Wenhou will create in the future. I'm really looking forward to it. "
"Indeed, the reversal is too wonderful. Look, Chang Dongyun is still smiling! "
Fang Yun put the table and the four treasures of the study into the River Shell and looked at Chang Dongyun. "Since you don't want us to continue sending you off, we'll part here. I wish you a safe journey, Brother Dongyun!"
Chang Dongyun subconsciously cupped his fists in return. "Thank …"
The moment Chang Dongyun opened his mouth, everyone felt a coldness that could only be emitted by swords and sabers on the battlefield. Everyone, including Fang Yun, instinctively released the power of Literary Courage to resist this power.
"Chi chi …"
Countless sounds of cloth tearing sounded. At the same time, Chang Dongyun shut his mouth and looked around in surprise.
Apart from Fang Yun's clothes which were intact, everyone's clothes were densely packed with tiny cracks, as if they had been swept by hundreds of swords and sabers. With a slight tear, they would all be torn into pieces.
Qiao Juze exclaimed, "Hidden Edge! It's the Hidden Edge ability of the Great Confucian Mantra! It turns out that this is the extremely rare Hidden Edge Poem! With the battle poem as the scabbard, the sharpness of the Battle of Words Sword is sealed. Once the Battle of Words Sword is released, the power of the first strike will be at least two or even three times stronger than usual! No wonder Chang Dongyun kept quiet and only spoke at the end. Hidden Edge is like nurturing a sword in a Grand Scholar. It's best not to speak. Even if you want to speak, you have to speak less. Hence, those who have just become a Grand Scholar are called Careful Words. "
"What a pity. This poem is not passed down. If it can be passed down, the power of the Grand Scholars of the Ten Nations will be greatly increased! "
"It can't be helped. Legendary battle poems are too hard to come by. However, the Hidden Edge Poem is extremely useful. If Fang Yun uses the Hidden Edge Poem on a Grand Scholar, his sharp tongue is enough to kill a Demon King of the same level. Fang Yun's effect is close to half a Grand Scholar! "
"I'm convinced, I'm convinced!"
Some people looked at Fang Yun with admiration, while others looked at Chang Dongyun with envy. Other than the original work and the book, this poem also had the glow of the brush and ink. Its power was four times stronger than normal. In that case, the power of Chang Dongyun's next verbal attack was probably no less than that of an ordinary Hanlin Academy.
Chang Dongyun bowed to the crowd apologetically, then helplessly pointed at his closed mouth, indicating that it was not convenient for him to speak now.
Qiao Juze immediately said, "You don't have to feel guilty. This is a good thing. Even if you're done with Concealed Edge, you should speak less. In the future, unless it's absolutely necessary, try not to engage in a battle of words. You can only use it in extremely dangerous situations. It might save your life. "
Chang Dongyun nodded. He continued to cup his hands in apology.
"Brother Dongyun, you can go now. Remember to send letters often … No, it's not convenient for you to send letters over there. Remember to write letters. Tell me about the border so that I can understand it better. After I become a Grand Scholar, I must go there. When I sent General Zhang Poyue off in June, I promised him. If his front line is in trouble, I will definitely go to help. "
Chang Dongyun nodded vigorously, then cupped his hands heavily. He decisively turned and left.
After Chang Dongyun got into the carriage and left, the thousands of people who came to see him off left one after another.
Those students who were Juren or below Juren left the fastest, while the thirty-odd Grand Scholars followed behind Fang Yun, slowly walking back.
After a scholar became a Grand Scholar, there were generally two paths they could take. One was to become an official, and the other was to enter the academy to further their studies.
Both paths had their weaknesses and strengths. The weakness of the former was that if one was not careful in the bureaucracy, one's courage would be tarnished, and there would be no hope for the Divine Path. The weakness of the latter was that if one did not enter the Hanlin Academy, one would not be able to achieve much. If one became an official at an older age, one would be far behind the other Grand Scholars.
The advantage of directly entering the imperial court as an official was that one could continuously gain worldly power. No matter how bad a Grand Scholar was, they still had the ability to influence the government. Before they retired, they would at least be conferred the title of Secondary Class Rank Four. The advantage of entering the academy to further their studies was that once they broke through to the Hanlin Academy, their status would be completely different.
No matter what, the number of Grand Scholars in Jingguo could be described as stable. Every year, there would be dozens of Grand Scholars. However, the number of Hanlin Academies was uncertain. On average, Jingguo had less than five new Hanlin Academies every year.
As everyone walked back, Qiao Juze whispered to Fang Yun, "Last night, the young Duke contacted many people and tried to get the people of the upper court to agree to go to the Lingyan Pavilion together. Once six people agreed, they would all go to the Lingyan Pavilion together to save their talents. When the young Duke came to find me, I didn't know what was going on. I said that I would give you an answer today. When I found someone to ask, I found out that they were trying to make things difficult for you, so I refused. The young Duke was able to rope in three people of the upper court. Of the other seven people, you and I naturally refused. One person from the Guan Hai Society had already clearly refused, and a Grand Scholar from the branch of the Minister of Literature had also refused. Therefore, only the attitudes of those three people were left. One of them was close to the Lei family, so he probably already agreed. "
"What about the other two?"
"One of them was from a wealthy family. Although his background was high, he was very low-key in the academy. The other was from a poor family. This person didn't learn the skills of the School of Mo, but focused on the School of Mo's Love of Impartiality. Usually, he liked to use the principle of Love of Impartiality to mediate conflicts between students. However, this person really did have a heart of Love of Impartiality. He handled things fairly and protected the weak. He had a very high reputation in the academy. "
Fang Yun nodded, indicating that he understood. From the Grand Scholar stage onwards, there was a clear differentiation between the different schools of thought. The School of Agriculture, the School of Engineering, and the School of Medicine were even more distinct.
Fang Yundao asked, "Then which school do the Grand Scholars from the wealthy families major in?"
"The School of Miscellaneous. You Nian has always had a clear goal. He once told a friend that his ambition was to be the Prime Minister of the country. He wanted to use what he had learned to govern the country. He walked the path of the School of Miscellaneous Arts. "
"You mean that the young Duke is very likely to gather six people?"
"Yes. The reason why there hasn't been any news yet is probably because the young Duke failed. It could also be that he is keeping it a secret and is only waiting for the Lingyan Pavilion to open. In this matter, the people in the palace can't interfere. "
"I understand. However, when the car reaches the mountain, there will be a road. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten itself out. We can't let uncertain matters affect our mood. If those people want to go to the Lingyan Pavilion together, then let them go. "Fang Yundao said.
Qiao Juze said helplessly, "You really do have a stream of witty words. These words are reasonable. Let's wait and see."
Fang Yundao also sent a letter to Zhao Hongzhuang. Zhao Hongzhuang said that she had something to take care of, so she couldn't come.
Walking into the academy, Fang Yundao's mood wasn't affected in the slightest. He smiled and pointed to a giant tree that was five hundred feet tall. It was so thick that it would take twenty people to wrap their arms around it. This giant tree far exceeded all the trees and buildings in the academy. It was exceptionally eye-catching.
Fang Yundao said, "I heard that this tree was planted by Chen Sheng. A few years ago, when it was about to die, the Chen family held Chen Sheng's" Ode to the Tree of Friends "and loudly recited it, restoring the tree's vitality. Then, they buried Chen Sheng's text into the tree's roots. In one night, the tree grew three hundred feet. Is this true?"
Qiao Juze smiled and said, "You've asked the right person. That day, I was still a student and was studying in this academy. I was there that morning. That's right, this tree did indeed grow by three hundred feet overnight. At that time, there were naughty children who wanted to climb the tree, but it was strange. No matter who climbed three feet, they would feel weak all over and had no choice but to slowly come down. Later, we understood that this tree was brought back to life by Chen Sheng. How could it let anyone climb it? "
Fang Yundao nodded and pointed to a bridge. He said, "Although this bridge is called the 'Harmony Bridge', I heard that there are often people who are heartbroken and jump into the river?"
All the scholars laughed. One of them explained, "Yes. A hundred years ago, there was a scholar who was heartbroken. He dreamed that Kong Sheng said that if he jumped into the Harmony Bridge, he would be able to be with the woman he liked for a hundred years. So, he actually jumped from the Harmony Bridge. Coincidentally, that person actually returned with the beauty in his arms. He told everyone he met that Kong Sheng had spoken to him in his dreams. Later, some people really believed him and secretly jumped into the river at night. However, we all know that Kong Sheng's words were just that person's delusion. Rather than saying that he wanted to redeem himself, it was better to say that he took the opportunity to vent. "
As they walked, they talked about all kinds of interesting things in the palace. Jingguo Academy was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty and gradually expanded. There were many historical stories left behind. Many famous people had come here before. There were even twelve 'holy residences', all of which were places where Half-saint had lived.
Because there was still some time before the start of the Lingyan Pavilion, everyone brought Fang Yundao, a newcomer to Jingguo Academy, to sightsee. They constantly introduced the various scenic spots of the Academy to Fang Yundao.
Jingguo Academy's history was even older than the Jingguo Palace. It was a famous cultural attraction in Jingguo. Every year, it was only opened to the public during festivals so that people could experience the atmosphere of the Academy.
Not long after, the bronze bell in the Academy rang.
"The Lingyan Pavilion will start in fifteen minutes. Let's go quickly," someone said.
"Let's go." Qiao Juze pointed in the direction of the Divine Temple and quickened his pace. Fang Yundao also followed.
As Fang Yundao walked, he held the official seal in his hand and sent a letter to Prime Minister Kang Ha-chuan. He wanted to expel Wei Yu from the Academy.
Kang Ha-chuan replied quickly, "If there are no accidents, the students of Jingguo Academy will all go to the Lingyan Pavilion today. Are you sure you want to expel Wei Yu from the Academy?"
Fang Yundao was stunned. He did not expect that the High Duke had already gathered six people. He thought for a moment and replied, "If Wei Yu is not removed, Chang Dongyun will lose his bright future! I have made up my mind. I hope Prime Minister will agree. "
"If that is the case, I will not force you. With your heart, you should not be affected by the Lingyan Pavilion. "
"Thank you, Prime Minister."
Not long after, everyone arrived in front of the Divine Temple.
Fang Yundao had seen Divine Temples in counties, prefectures, and prefectures, but this was the first time he saw one in a country.
Jingguo Academy's Divine Temple was also built with red walls and black tiles. Other than being bigger than other Divine Temples, it had a sense of dignity and vicissitudes. Every brick and tile seemed to record a history and carry a story.
In front of the Divine Temple stood many High Scholars and Scholars. In the distance, there were many scholars and scholars who were not allowed to enter the Lingyan Pavilion.
Before the Lingyan Pavilion appeared, the Prime Minister's voice echoed in the air.
