Everyone was unable to open their eyes because of the sudden golden light. They could only squint their eyes.
A golden dragon and a silver snake flew out and danced in the Heaven-offering Palace. The dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws, and its roar could be heard from ten miles away.
The silver snake kept spitting out its tongue and making hissing sounds.
The fourth level of calligraphy was like a dragon and a snake.
A strong ink fragrance filled the Heaven-offering Palace and kept spreading in all directions.
Then, a strange power appeared from the scroll. The power was surging and fierce, as if it had the power to destroy heaven and earth, but at the same time, it contained a completely opposite aura. It was like a spring breeze or a lamp in the night. Everyone seemed to be nourished by the power and felt that the world was bright, as if they had been enlightened by the gods and taught by the saints.
Fang Yun took a deep breath and felt comfortable all over. He felt that his understanding of calligraphy seemed to have improved a little.
"This is … the Holy Power! It's a word given by Half-saint … "Ji Zhibai muttered to himself.
Left Prime Minister Mount Liu, who had been sitting calmly, finally showed a slight change in his expression. The veins on his forehead were exposed, but they quickly retreated. However, he could not help but clench his right fist.
Mount Liu slowly turned his head and saw the dragon and snake return to the scroll and turn into eight big words.
The Soul of Jingguo, the Courage of the Human Race!
These eight words were black and bright. There seemed to be a starry sky moving in the dark words. The stars moved and the moon was high in the sky, as if it contained endless truth.
On the page under the eight words, a dragon and a snake were swimming slowly, as if they were fish in a fish tank.
When Fang Yun saw these eight words, he even forgot to evaluate them with the known calligraphy system. He just felt that these eight words were like a new world, crossing the past and the present and standing in all the worlds.
These eight simple words seemed to be able to reset the order of the world.
The Empress Dowager stood up slowly. She took the young king's hand and said, "Do you recognize these eight words?"
The young king's clear voice sounded.
"The Soul of Jingguo, the Courage of the Human Race!"
The child's voice was very small. But it was combined with the invisible power and turned into a solemn and dignified voice. It kept rolling in the Heavenly Worship Hall.
Mount Liu gritted his teeth.
Ou Mo was dumbfounded. He took half a step back.
The important ministers of the Left Minister's party and the Prince of Kang's party lowered their heads and silently resisted.
At this moment, all those who were disloyal to Jingguo were affected by an invisible force.
Half-saint seizes the Way of Heaven, and the monarch's mouth contains the Heavenly Constitution.
This formless power was not aggressive, but it became a terrifying mark.
The officials were silent. They were all stunned by Chen Sheng's evaluation of Fang Yun, so much so that none of the officials dared to comment.
It was reasonable to say that Fang Yun was the "Soul of Jingguo". After all, Fang Yun was Xusheng and had contributed a lot to Jingguo. He had become one of the most important figures in Jingguo and was admired by millions of people.
However, the evaluation of "courage of the human race" was very high.
Ji Zhibai lowered his head. His heart was filled with fear.
Although Mount Liu was a pawn arranged by Zong Sheng in Jingguo, he had not been exposed all these years until the news that Chen Guanhai was severely injured and dying was confirmed. Mount Liu suddenly showed his ferocious side and monopolized power.
If Chen Guanhai had not been injured, Liu Shan, this hidden chess piece, would probably never have surfaced.
Ji Zhibai knew that Chen Guanhai had lost the power to compete with Zong Sheng. Moreover, Wu Guo was also watching. Therefore, Chen Guanhai had tacitly agreed that Jingguo would be divided between Gyeongo and Wu Guo after his death.
However, even if Chen Guanhai was injured, as long as he was still alive, he had the power to flip the table! He had the power to kill the Left Minister and eliminate all the officials in the Left Minister's party!
Behind these eight words, there were four more invisible words.
"I'm still alive!"
Half-saint's warning!
Ji Zhibai suddenly stole a glance at Fang Yun. Could it be that Fang Yun had already discussed this with the Chen family? This was very likely.
Ji Zhibai realized that the golden light was gradually fading. The words "Soul of Jingguo" were darker in color. They seemed to have been written many days ago. The words "courage of the human race" were lighter in color. They seemed to have been written recently.
Moreover, these words were written on two separate pieces of paper.
Ji Zhibai suddenly understood. Chen Sheng had written "Soul of Jingguo" a long time ago, but the Chen family had not given it away. They had been waiting for Fang Yun to get into trouble. However, after Fang Yun became Xusheng, the evaluation of "Soul of Jingguo" was not enough. Therefore, they wrote "Courage of the human race".
Ji Zhibai looked at Fang Yun and realized that there was no surprise on Fang Yun's face. Instead, he was just happy. He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
It was because in addition to the words given by Chen Sheng, Fang Yun, as Xusheng, had another special method. However, once he used it, it would cause great harm to Jingguo. It might even trigger an invasion of the grassland barbarians in advance and attract the intervention of Half-saint. In the end, Fang Yun would also be held responsible and might even lose his right to participate in the court examination.
"Could it be … that he wants to overthrow a nation? No, no, no, he probably wouldn't dare to. At most, he would get rid of the emperor's subordinates and collude with the aristocratic families and the military to kill us. Anyway, such things have happened in the past. "
The bureaucratic system of the Ten Nations could be said to be unbreakable, but Half-saint could change it!
Fang Yun raised his hands and respectfully took the words given by Chen Sheng. "I'm Fang Yun. Thank you, Chen Sheng."
Chen Mingding cupped his fists and said, "The gift has been delivered. The Old Man will take his leave immediately."
The people brought by Chen Mingding bade farewell and left the Heavenly Worship Hall together.
Wherever they passed, the cold wind whistled and the murderous aura filled the air as frost paved the way.
Only the Grand Marshal Chen Zhixu remained in the Heavenly Worship Hall.
Ji Zhibai gritted his teeth in hatred. The matter was already clear. If even Chen Sheng's words couldn't stop the Left Prime Minister, these people would very likely turn around and kill Mount Liu in the name of getting rid of the emperor's subordinates.
Mount Liu still had his head lowered.
Fang Yun was about to put the words given by Chen Sheng into the River Oyster when he suddenly froze and a strange look flashed in his eyes. Then, he saw the scroll turn into a spot of light and enter Fang Yun's literary palace, next to the imperial edict.
"Sss …"
Many officials gasped. This was not an ordinary calligraphy work, but the power of the nation's fate and the people's hearts. It was no different from an imperial edict.
"Congratulations, Fang Xusheng!"
"Congratulations …"
No one knew who started it, but all the officials cupped their hands and congratulated him.
Fang Yun also smiled and returned the greeting.
After a while, the Prime Minister Kang Ha-chuan suddenly smiled and said, "The cabinet's decision was interrupted, so we should vote again! The rules are still the same. Those who give the official seal to the left side of Fang Xusheng are in favor, those who give the right side are against. I'll go first. "
Kang Ha-chuan was the first to throw out the official seal. The Prime Minister's seal floated in the air.
Then, many cabinet members gave their official seals to the left side of Fang Yun. Including the newly arrived Grand Marshal Chen Zhixu, the number of official seals on the left side reached eighteen.
"Including the Duke of Jian Mei, there are nineteen official seals. My colleagues, let's vote. "Kang Ha-chuan said slowly.
Fang Yun sat on the chair and looked at the Left Prime Minister Mount Liu.
All the officials looked at Mount Liu.
The Fengtian Hall was silent. After a full seven minutes, Mount Liu calmly raised his head and said, "Everyone, let's vote."
Mount Liu did not agree or disagree, but all the officials understood his meaning.
Assistant Minister Si Yueqing sighed and gave his official seal to the left side of Fang Yun. The cabinet officials who had not yet moved followed suit.
In the end, other than the Left Prime Minister, all the other cabinet officials gave their official seals to the left side of Fang Yun.
The Left Prime Minister announced in a slightly hoarse voice, "The cabinet has decided to support the Duke of Zhenguo Wen in his battle against Xiang Prefecture!"
