Fang Yun would never have dreamed that after reading ten thousand books, he would be able to enter the World of Spring and Autumn to see the two hundred years of magnificent history. He couldn't help but smile.
Fang Yun felt very tired and wanted to sleep. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, the chaotic scenes of history appeared in front of him.
In the imperial court of the State of Lu, Cao Gui spoke to Lu Zhuanggong with fervor and assurance. After that, he personally followed Lu Zhuanggong to fight against the State of Qi. He defeated the State of Qi with his strength and became famous after that battle.
In Wu State, Wu Zixu was in charge of the government and Sun Tzu was in charge of the army. Sun Tzu used the strategy of "when one goes out, one goes out. When the other goes out, one goes out." He spent six years in Chu State. After six years, Wu State won five battles and almost destroyed Chu State.
Little Bai was a simple name, but Fang Yun had seen him climb step by step from a young master to the throne of the Qi Dynasty and become the Duke Huan of Qi. With the help of Guan Zhong, the famous prime minister of the Spring and Autumn Period, he became the leader of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
His life was more complicated than that of Duke Huan of Qi. First, he married the daughter of Duke Huan of Qi, the leader of the Five Hegemons of Spring and Autumn Period. Then, Duke Mu of Qin gave him five imperial daughters. One of them was even the wife of Duke Huai of Jin, who was Chong 'er's nephew.
With the support of Duke Mu of Qin, Chong 'er fought his way back to Jin State. After twenty years of exile, he officially became Duke Wen of Jin State and killed his nephew. Later, Duke Wen of Jin State fought against Chu State. He kept his promise and won the Battle of Chengpu with the strategy of "retreating three times." He established his position as one of the Five Hegemons of Spring and Autumn Period.
Every time Fang Yun saw the story of Duke Wen of Jin State, there were only two words in his mind: a winner in life.
When Duke Wen of Jin was fleeing for his life, he was impoverished and starving. A famous official, Jie Zitui, cut off his flesh and offered it to the emperor. After Duke Wen of Jin ascended the throne, he rewarded the officials but did not reward the meritorious official, Jie Zitui. Later, Duke Wen of Jin State regretted it and asked Jie Zitui to leave the mountain. Due to the dense forest, he couldn't find Jie Zitui. He listened to a villain and ordered people to burn the mountain on three sides to force Jie Zitui to leave the mountain. Jie Zitui was burned to death. In order to commemorate Jie Zitui, the Cold Food Festival was held. No fire was lit on that day.
Fang Yun didn't feel anything when he read about this before. But now that he saw Jin Wen Gong burning Mount Mian with his own eyes, he didn't think that Jin Wen Gong would be so stupid as to forget about Jie Zi's great merit of cutting off his flesh and offering it to the King before burning the mountain. Silencing the witness.
Another one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Zhuang of Chu ascended to the throne in a precarious period. At that time, the ministers of Chu were strong while the monarch was weak. When King Zhuang of Chu was at his most dangerous, he was captured by the ministers who plotted against him.
After many years of silence, King Zhuang of Chu seized the opportunity to dominate the Central Plains. Not making a sound for three years, but shocking the world with a single brilliant feat. Not flying for three years, but soaring to the heavens with a single leap.
…
The major events recorded in the Spring and Autumn Annals flashed before Fang Yun's eyes one by one. Fang Yun felt that his understanding of history had deepened, and he could also vaguely understand the principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, loyalty, courage, and so on.
No teacher told Fang Yun what benevolence was, who was righteous, and what propriety was, but Fang Yun understood. Everyone was between benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and propriety, and everything was within the Sacred Dao.
He could only comprehend it himself.
Fang Yun seemed to be enlightened as he kept smiling happily.
Fang Yun slowly recalled the history recorded in the Spring and Autumn Annals and slowly absorbed the real rewards of the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.
Before he knew it … Fang Yun fell asleep.
The next morning, the sky was bright and eight Jinshi dressed in white stood outside Fang Yun's door.
"It's already morning. Why hasn't Fang Yun woken up yet? It's seven o 'clock in the morning now. If he doesn't get up in the army, he'll be punished by at least forty beatings! "
"Fang Yun was too tired yesterday, it's okay for him to rest for a while more. Anyway, there's still half an hour before the official competition starts. We can still make it if we wait another 15 minutes. Huh? Where's Yan Zewei? "Qiao Juze looked around.
"I seem to have heard someone visiting him last night. It should be his friend in Kong City," You Nian said.
A gloomy cloud flashed past Qiao Juze's eyes and he said, "Let's go to Yan Zewei's bedroom to take a look!"
The other Jinshi immediately sensed that there was something wrong with Qiao Juze's tone and hurriedly followed.
Qiao Juze didn't knock at all and simply used his sharp tongue to break open the door. In the end, he found that Yan Zewei's bed was neat and tidy and empty.
The eight of them stood in Yan Zewei's bedroom in silence.
Qiao Juze said, "I'll send him an urgent letter to ask about the situation!"
Qiao Juze did as he said, and everyone waited silently.
After a long time, Qiao Juze said coldly, "He hasn't returned yet, so he's either imprisoned or had his official seal taken away. He can't receive the urgent letter! I'll immediately report to the Chancellor! Go wait at Fang Yun's door and wake him up in half an hour! "
After saying that, Qiao Juze strode out while the others slowly walked out, looking anxious. Some of them even had anger in their eyes and wanted to curse.
"Despicable! Needless to say, it must be Gyeongo's trick! They didn't dare to use force, so they probably bribed Yan Zewei's friend to get him to go out and make him drunk with the alcohol of the demon realm. He'll be unconscious for a full day and night! This kind of thing has happened before in other literary competitions. I just didn't expect it to happen to us. "You Nian was furious.
"The point is, this method doesn't hurt anyone or break the law. Even if we find out later, the punishment can't be too heavy. The Ten Nations Grand Tournament will not change the time because of this. If we can't find Yan Zewei in half an hour, this grand tournament will be over."
Chen Liyue glanced at Cui Wang and said, "We miscalculated. I thought that if they really wanted to do something, they would target Cui Wang, who entered the Upper House last, and have been watching him closely. Who knew that they would look for Yan Zewei? "
"What should we do then?" Cui Wang asked.
"What else can we do? Just wait to lose. Even if he's worse than us, he'll at least be able to get ninth place. At least, he'll be a step better than last year. "
"We can lose, but I'm not willing to lose to such means!" Zhang Chengyu gritted his teeth.
Gong Yangyu clenched his fists tightly and said, "After today's grand tournament, I'm going to have a literary battle with Gyeongo! I may not be able to win, but I'll let them know that they have to pay the price for doing such a thing! "
"Ah … Since Brother Gong Yangyu has said so, I'll go with you. I'm not good at other things, but I might not be afraid of Gyeongo's Upper House Grand Scholar! "Zhang Chengyu said.
"This is a move to protect Jingguo's reputation. I'll participate too," Ye Shoumo said.
The rest of the people joined in one after another, but two of them did not respond.
Not long before the seven of them walked to Fang Yun's door, the door opened and Fang Yun, who was dressed in white casual clothes, said, "Come in, I'll wash up and get changed … What happened?"
The sleepiness on Fang Yun's face quickly dissipated, and he carefully sized up the seven of them.
"Yan Zewei went out in private last night and hasn't returned yet. I'm afraid he's been held back by the other nation's people," You Nian said.
Fang Yun subconsciously glanced at Cui Wang. He didn't expect that the one who was in trouble was not the youngest Cui Wang, but the very mature Yan Zewei. Yan Zewei was the favorite student of Left Prime Minister Mount Liu, and Left Prime Minister Mount Liu was in cahoots with Gyeongo. Gyeongo's chips were lower than Jingguo's. Even if You Nian only said "other nation", Fang Yun knew that this was most likely done by Gyeongo.
Fang Yun took a deep breath and glanced at the seven of them, saying, "Then what should we do? What did the Grand Scholar say? "
Gong Yangyu said, "Brother Qiao has already gone to find the Grand Scholar. This time, we'll definitely fail, so a few of us have already discussed that after the competition, we'll go to Gyeongo's Upper House Grand Scholar Wen Duel! "
Fang Yun nodded and said, "If we lose to Gyeongo in this competition, I'll also participate in the Wen Duel! I, Fang Yun, can afford to lose, but I can't afford to be humiliated! "
"Good!" Everyone's blood boiled.
"Yes, we Jingguo students can afford to lose, but we can't afford to be humiliated!"
You Nian nodded and said, "Even though we didn't see it with our own eyes, we've all heard about your Wen Duel in Xi State. You can use 'Only High Scholar Battle Poems' or 'Only Grand Scholar Battle Poems' as your proposal. Unless it's a Star Rank Grand Scholar, any Grand Scholar will only have a 50% chance of winning against you! Those people from Gyeongo aren't from the main families of the aristocratic families, so they don't have a Star Rank like us. Your chances of winning are very high! "
"Fang Yun, you can even defeat a top Grand Scholar like Xun Long, so you're not afraid of them! You're a High Scholar, so if the lower ranked Wen Duel uses a proposal first, they definitely won't be able to defeat you! "Cui Wang's eyes had a hint of joy.
"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Fang Yun said.
"But … I'm still a little unwilling. Fang Yun, you'll probably become a Notre-Dame student before the competition next year. This is probably Jingguo's only chance to enter the top eight. However, Gyeongo's despicable methods ruined it! "Chen Lile's eyes were red.
The rest of the people sighed softly. Jingguo finally had this opportunity. Even if they lost in the end, they could still let the Jingguo citizens know that Jingguo had a chance to defeat Gyeongo!
However, even that last bit of hope was gone now.
"Forget it. Anyway, our chances of beating Gyeongo in the third round aren't high. We'll be lucky if we can get ninth place. There's no need to fight Gyeongo just to win," Ke Yuan said softly.
Fang Yun said slowly, "Sometimes, if we can't win, our path to the Divine Path will be cut off."
"I can't take this lying down!" Chen Lile said happily.
Fang Yun turned around and put on his clothes. He put away the snacks and fruits on the table and walked out while saying, "Let's go to the venue first. Maybe Yan Zewei will be able to enter before the competition."
"Even if he can enter, his hangover will affect his mind. I'm afraid that the number of questions he answered will be too low." Qiao Juze walked in from outside.
"What did Grand Secretary Guo say?" Cui Wang asked.
"He has already gone to negotiate with the Kong family and asked them to find out where Yan Zewei is. However, Kong City was built by Kong Sheng himself. If we want to use Kong City's power to search, we need some time to ask for instructions. Grand Secretary Guo said that we should be mentally prepared. Time is too tight. It will be difficult to find Yan Zewei before the third round starts. "
Fang Yun nodded. Kong City was built according to King Wen's Eight Trigrams. It was connected to Notre-Dame. Although it had never shown its power, even the demon race could guess that Kong City and Notre-Dame both had unknown secrets.
Qiao Juze gritted his teeth and said, "This matter definitely won't end here. Yan Zewei must be severely punished. We must take revenge on the people involved! As for the mastermind behind this, once we find out who it is, it would be best if we can have a civil battle. If we can't, we'll go all out! "
"Let's go, we'll talk about everything after the Ten Nations Grand Tournament," Fang Yun said.
