As Half-saint had yet to make his initial choice, the Divine Temple had suppressed the talent of these three poems. However, these three poems were too unusual and linked together.
"Cough … these three papers are a little strange. We should examine them carefully before asking the three examiners to make the most basic choice."
"Yes, yes, yes …" The rest nodded.
Minister Kang Ha-chuan was the first to reach out and take the Epang Palace Ode. It had a total of five pages.
The book weighed a thousand catties, but Kang Ha-chuan was able to pick it up easily. With a smile on his face, he laid out the five pages.
Tang Shoude was the first to speak, "Although I've heard of this poem when it traveled a thousand li, when I saw it with my own eyes, it was as if the Epang Palace had appeared on the paper. It was only a mere twelve words, but it explained that the Epang Palace only appeared because Qin Shihuang unified the six states. Especially the three words' Shu Mountain Ode '. At first glance, it seems like Epang Palace used up all the wood in the land of Shu, causing the mountains of Shu to be bare. It seems like it's paving the way for the majesty of Epang Palace in the first paragraph. In fact, it's referring to the waste of money and people. It's paving the way for Epang Palace's extravagance and evil. "
Kang Ha-chuan smiled, "Although this is a Fu essay, it's not conventional. It reduces all kinds of beautiful words and simplifies the complexity. It eliminates the drawbacks of the Han Fu and is pragmatic. For example, this sentence, 'Five steps a building, ten steps a pavilion; the corridors back and forth, the eaves high pecking; each hugs the terrain and fights against each other.' If it were an ordinary Fu essay, it would definitely be extremely beautiful words. However, Fang Yun is different. He describes the scenery and describes the characteristics of Epang Palace with mere numbers. "
"Indeed, the first two paragraphs of this essay are similar to the Han Fu. It uses short and powerful words to form a sentence. It's more sonorous and catchy. However, just as the Minister said, this essay doesn't have the drawbacks of the Han Fu. The words aren't beautiful, but the meaning is incomparably smooth. It's like a waterfall, flowing to one's heart's content. "
"This essay seems to prove the reason for the decline of the Han Fu. It's flashy but not practical! The first two paragraphs of this essay are not like the Han Fu, but they surpass the Han Fu. This is also the reason why this article has spread all over the world … "
Everyone began to discuss and appreciate the "Ode to Epang Palace". After that, they began to look at Fang Yun's scripture.
Wen Xiang was the first to finish reading quickly. He said, "The scripture has no name, so this chapter shall be called 'The Theory of Burial with Evil Rites'."
Although this scripture was related to the Divine Path, Fang Yun had cleverly avoided it. Of course, this did not escape Half-saint's eyes. But for those below the level of Saint, Fang Yun's words were merely a novel theory.
Tang Shoude sighed and said, "As expected of Fang Zhenguo. When he was still a Grand Scholar, he dared to point out the Way of Etiquette, denounce the evil of etiquette, and abolish burial. He is indeed better than us. When I return to Notre-Dame today, I will write an article in support of his abolition. "
A Hanlin Academy examiner whispered, "I originally thought that it was not important whether the burial system was abolished or not, but why did I feel that if the burial system was not abolished after reading this scripture, the human race would perish?"
"So he's Fang Zhenguo. Look at a few of his arguments. The strange angles and the rigorous arguments are unprecedented! You are not a great scholar, so you have not read his' The Rites of Indecent Conduct '. If you have read it, you will definitely suspect that Fang Yun is a knowledgeable scholar, and a great figure who opened up the Divine Path. It is said that the great scholar of the School of Historians once used the 'long river of history' to infer some of Fang Yun's strange ideas, which actually caused the long river of history to echo! However, Fang Yun usually does not have the guts to call for the abolition of evil rites. I'm afraid that he thought that he was going to die, so he cut off all means of retreat. "
Those below the level of the great scholar did not know that Fang Yun's scripture was so powerful that it could actually cause the long river of history. If there were no accidents, the long river of history would prove that Fang Yun's ideas were highly feasible, and could even become a reality in the future.
"Of course."
"Fang Yun's scriptures have always been extraordinary. The scholars and scholars of Jiang District have long been proud of learning Fang Yun's scriptures. Recently, 70% of the scriptures that have been submitted to the academy in Jiang District have Fang Yun's shadow. Do you know of a related rhyme in Jiang District? "
Everyone looked at Kang Ha-chuan curiously.
"The scholars of Jiang District say that Fang Wenshi eats mutton; Fang Wensheng eats grass!"
Everyone laughed.
"From today onwards, this rhyme will definitely spread throughout the Ten Nations!"
Everyone could casually talk about poetry, but they could not talk too much about the scriptures. If they accidentally said something that they should not say, it might cause trouble.
"After reading the scriptures, let's look at the last shocking passage together! Fang Yun is really an extraordinary person. During the High Scholar Examinations, he only wrote a policy essay and it was rated by the Emperor. This time, he only wrote a policy essay and it shocked the Emperor. We … "
While Kang Ha-chuan was speaking, he saw the statue of Confucius in the marking room glowing slightly. Then, there was a burst of golden light in the examination room and a gust of wind blew away a large number of poor test papers, leaving only 600 test papers on the table.
The examiners got a great shock. The Half-saint examiners had yet to communicate with the Half-saint examiners and they had already marked the papers in advance. That could only mean that the Half-saint examiners couldn't stand it anymore.
The examiners looked at the three words "Theory of the Six Nations" reluctantly, unable to flip through it.
Before the examiners snapped back to their senses, a golden "A" word appeared on each of Fang Yun's three essays.
The examiners were extremely helpless. It seemed that the three Semi-Sage examiners were afraid that there would be an accident, so they directly wrote down the evaluation and cut off everyone's thoughts. They gave the first place in the Jingguo examination, "Huiyuan", to Fang Yun.
"What a pity …"
"Of course it's a pity …"
The group of examiners looked at Fang Yun's test papers with a greedy look in their eyes, similar to that of a hungry wolf looking at its prey.
Fang Yun left the square of the Holy Temple and wanted to go home directly. However, when he heard that Li Wenying had left the city, he hurriedly called for a carriage and headed towards the southern part of the city. On the way, he wrote down the reason for his departure and told Yang Yuhuan not to worry. Then, he asked a passing student for help.
After speeding all the way out of the southern gate, the carriage ran for another three miles before Fang Yun saw the group of people who were sending him off.
The city had lost the protection of the Holy Temple. It was snowing heavily and the snow on the ground was at least two feet high. Only the situation on the roads was slightly better.
Fang Yun poked his head out of the carriage window and saw Li Wenying thanking the others. It seemed that he was about to leave.
"Duke of Jianmei, please wait!" Fang Yun shouted with a thunderous voice.
The hundreds of people turned around and looked at Fang Yun with different expressions, completely forgetting that they were going to send Li Wenying off.
Previously, the scene of the Divine Punishment of the Moon Tree was too huge and no one thought that Fang Yun would be able to survive. However, Fang Yun not only won, but he also awakened the six Quasi-sages and formed the eight-sided sword of the Holy Dao that illuminated the Ten Nations, increasing the power of the human race.
"Greetings, Fang Xusheng!"
"Greetings, Ancestor of Poetry!"
…
Everyone bowed.
Fang Yun jumped out of the carriage and bowed in return in the snow. At the same time, he walked forward slowly.
Li Wenying smiled and waved his sleeve, causing the surrounding snow to scatter to the sides, revealing the clean ground. At the same time, all the snow within a thousand feet drifted outwards, leaving the people nearby untouched.
"Student Fang Yun has been entrusted by Prime Minister Kang Ha-chuan to send Lord Jian Mei off."
