"Tong Li!" Zhao Zhuzhen looked at Tong Li angrily.

Jinghai Tower immediately heard the sound of drawing swords. All the guards drew their sabers, ready to kill at any time.

Now even if you don't know Zhao Zhuzhen, you can still guess her identity.

Shi Dehong said: "The only person who leads the royal guards as a woman and is so young is the eldest princess Zhao Hongzhuang, the aunt of the current king of Jingguo. However, I heard that you like to be called the eldest princess, so that's it. Call you."

"Your Highness the Princess!"

Since Shi Dehong revealed his identity, everyone had to salute and greet him.

"Just think of me as Zhao Zhuzhen." Zhao Hongzhuang said.

"Tong Li, why don't you back down!" Magistrate Dong shouted.

Tong Li stared at Fang Yun and said: "You are destroying my holy way, but you dare to bet with me! If you are really a scholar and really confident, why don't you give me a chance to win against you! What are you afraid of!"

"Tong Li, are you sure you want to seek death?" Fang Yun asked.

"Shi Dehong is right, if I can't beat you, the higher your achievements will be, the more unstable my literary palace will be, and it will be shattered one day! However, I want to make a joint bet with Shi Dehong, you must beat both of us at the same time, If you win, you can only get a tie, so what!" Tong Li was already like a madman, because he knew this was the only chance.

Shi Dehong didn't care that Tong Li called him by his name at this time, and said: "Okay! Tong Li, I underestimated you before, but it turns out you are also a good man! Fang Yun, do you dare to bet with me?"

Fang Yun looked at the two of them, suddenly smiled, and said: "Shi Juren. Since your mentor is Lord Shijun, he must have something to say about you. Right?"

"Of course." Shi Dehong said.

"So, what position does Master Shijun think you can eventually enter?"

Shi Dehong raised his hand in the direction of Qingguo. Said: "My mentor once said that I have the status of a great scholar!"

Fang Yun nodded and said, "Okay! But it's not good either."

"Why do you say that?" Shi Dehong felt uneasy. He didn't expect Fang Yun to be so calm, so calm that it was scary.

"It's good to smash the literary palace of a future great scholar and eliminate a small hidden danger in our country. You are my human race after all, and it's not good to destroy your literary palace. However, since you want to suppress the intellectuals of a country, you are trying to destroy me. Holy Dao, if you instigate others to gamble with me, I will destroy your Wen Palace! I agree to this bet!"

Fang Yun's voice was loud and clear.

"That depends on whether you have the ability to destroy our Wen Palace!" Shi Dehong sneered.

Qian Juren immediately said: "Fang Yun, all of us literati in Yuhai City support you! Not only can you become a talented person in Yuhai Mansion, you will definitely reach the Second Pavilion of the Third Mountain and overpower Shi Dehong!"

"Tong Li, if you dare to come to our 'Talk about Haishe' cultural gathering in the future, I will break your legs!"

"Brother Liu, you don't need to do anything. After June's visit to Shushan, Tong Li will definitely be crushed by Wen Gong."

"makes sense."

Magistrate Dong said gloomily: "Shi Dehong. Since you made a bet with Fang Yun, you must stay in Yuhai City until Fang Yun leaves Shushan."

"It's natural. I like the scenery of Yuhai City very much. It doesn't hurt to stay for a month. Maybe I can stay for a few more months. I will participate in the annual Fairy Demon Poetry Meeting in Yuhai Mansion and compete for Lord Li's Dragon Blood Ink Ingot. "

Magistrate Dong said: "You misunderstood. What I want to say is. If Fang Yun wins and you have the skills to avoid gambling and oaths, be prepared for me to personally crush your Wen Palace!"

A flash of panic flashed in Shi Dehong's eyes, and then he said calmly: "This is a bet between me and Fang Yun. I hope Mr. Dong will not interfere and break the rules."

"I only kill people who break the rules."

Shi Dehong said angrily: "If you dare to kill me, my mentor will never let you go!"

"Then let him come! We in Yuhai City are not even afraid of the Dragon Clan, but we are still afraid of a mere Shijun? Who said that the holy way has no bones? First, a hundred schools of thought contended, and Saint Kong stood out. If Saint Kong did not fight, how could our human race be at its peak! Kong! Where are the withered bones under the feet of the emperor? Later, the Legalists assisted Qin and unified the continent. If the emperor of Qin did not fight, how could there be no writings, chariots, and weights and measures? "Shijun is defeated, he steps up the ladder for us, that's all! Ever since I realized how to talk about war on paper, I have only believed in the pen in my hand and the way under my feet!"

"Hmph!" Shi Dehong snorted coldly and stopped talking. He was still a bit immature in front of Magistrate Dong.

Fang Yun has lived in a world where the theory of evolution is dominant, so he naturally believes in natural selection and survival of the fittest. This is an inescapable path in any world.

An old Juren sighed and said: "Xiao Li, Tong Shilang and I were classmates, and I once hugged you. If you admit your mistake to Fang Shuangjia, he will definitely forgive you. Don't bet, you can't win. Fang Yun When I was on the dragon boat, I seemed to see Li Wenying in his youth. When he was a civil servant, he never failed in the Dragon Boat Festival. Even those Qingguo literati who were more talented than him could not defeat him. "

When it comes to Li Wenying, even those in the Qing Kingdom are convinced. Li Wenying's talent is not only inferior to the four great talents, but also inferior to the next-level people. However, his current achievements are only second to the four great talents. If the literati of the previous generation are now Rearranging the five great talents, then in addition to the previous four great talents, the fifth person must be Li Wenying.

Tong Li has regained some sense and said: "Mr. Cheng, Governor Dong has said that the holy path is difficult and the only way to fight is to fight. If he is undefeated, I will never be able to let his talents flow freely and the Wen Palace be stable! This year's book The mountain is my only chance! I have to defeat Fang Yun! If I repeat the situation again, I will be shattered before I can climb the mountain. I only know that I have no way out! retreat!"

"You..." Cheng Juren was speechless.

Shi Dehong said: "Tong Li, I am Yizhou Jieyuan. If you are interested, I can go to your mansion tomorrow to discuss poetry with you. How about it?"

Tong Li said happily: "Senior Shi is really willing to help me?"

"You and I are both human beings, so we should help each other."

"Thank you for your kindness! If I can defeat Fang Yun, I will repay you for your great kindness." Tong Li looked happy.

Cheng Juren said angrily: "Tong Li, you can't make the same mistake again and again!"

Shi Dehong immediately said: "Old gentleman, what you said is wrong. Tong Li is pursuing his holy path. I also want to defeat Fang Yun through Shushan. What's wrong?"

Fang Yun said slowly: "Zengzi said: I examine myself three times every day. Even the Yasheng Zengzi has to reflect on whether he is loyal, trustworthy and diligent every day. How can you dare to say that there are no mistakes in your promotion of people? If there are any, correct them, if not, add to them. Mian, this is the way of a saint, how can you go against it!"

Fang Yun's words were the same as usual, but there was only a slight difference in the eight words "If there is something, change it, if there is nothing, encourage it." It spread very far, but no one noticed it immediately, and no one made any connections in that direction.

Shi Dehong was slightly shocked. He had just used holy words to stimulate Tong Li and succeeded in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Fang Yun would also use holy words to accuse him.

Many Jingguo literati smiled and nodded, but a strange scene appeared. These people obviously supported Fang Yun, but some of them had frozen smiles on their faces, some smiled more happily, and some restrained their smiles and thought hard.

Almost all the literati present suddenly completely forgot about the disputes between a few people, and many people repeatedly whispered the eight words "if there is something, change it, if there is nothing, encourage it".

The arrogant Yan Yukong immediately turned his head to look at Fang Yun, with an unprecedented brilliance flashing in his eyes.

Fang Yun secretly cried out that it was terrible. The eight words "If there is something, change it, if there is nothing, add encouragement." These eight words were Zhu Xi's annotation of "I will examine myself three times in a day" in "The Analects of Confucius". In his opinion, these eight words are very common. But these eight words have never appeared in Shengyuan Continent, so the meaning is different.

In the eyes of everyone, it was Fang Yun who was extending and explaining Zengzi's words in the Analects, and the scholar actually annotated Yasheng's words!

In Shengyuan Continent, the classics of the saints cannot be annotated casually. Most academics do not dare to write books to explain the classics of the saints. Those classics of the saints are basically annotated by great Confucian scholars.

It is not a crime for a scholar to annotate the classics of the saints, but if any of the annotations is wrong, he will immediately be attacked by a group of people. This is a battle of holy ways, and there is no room for mistakes.

Therefore, even if a great scholar explains the classics of the saints, he will quote the annotations of the great Confucians, which is somewhat similar to "asking for holy words". At most, he will add a layer of his own explanation to the annotations of the great Confucians, called Shu.

But Fang Yun's words are directly annotations for "The Analects of Confucius"!

Tong Li suddenly lowered his head, with a cruel look in his eyes, trying his best to think about Fang Yun's words, trying to find the loopholes in them, but this thought only lasted for three breaths before he felt Wen Gong start to shake.

"No! This annotation has great principles and principles! I can't argue with it." Tong Li was shocked and hurriedly stopped thinking. Sweat dripped from his back, and he felt extremely regretful, but he knew that there was no way out.

Tong Li was filled with despair.

Shi Dehong also immediately lowered his head to think, with a hint of ridicule appearing on the corner of his mouth. He secretly said that Fang Yun was overestimating his abilities. Every sentence in the classics of the saints has the truth of heaven and earth and has infinite power. In the early years, I don’t know how many people made random annotations and their literary courage was broken. , destroyed the Wen Palace, and now that he is not a great Confucian, no one dares to speak randomly.

Shi Dehong quickly thought about the eight words "If there is something, change it; if there is nothing, encourage it", he wanted to find a flaw and cut off the relationship between these eight words and Zeng Zi's famous saying, thereby completely denying Fang Yun, and then let Fang Yunwen Palace crack.

He kept thinking, but soon discovered that these eight words were impeccable, and it would never be possible to find loopholes in them with a humanistic degree.

Not only that, the more Shi Dehong thought about it, the more he felt that these words contained the truth. If someone said that this was the work of a certain semi-sage, he would definitely believe it.

"How is it possible! How can I think his words are reasonable!" The Shijun disciple roared in his heart.

Magistrate Dong excitedly praised: "Fang Yun is really a great talent, this sentence contains the sound of the holy way! Maybe many years later, this sentence can become an imperial examination question!"

"That's right! That sound just now is indeed the voice of the Holy Word. Although it is still far from the Holy Word, it is still close to the Holy Word."

Fang Yun said hurriedly: "Everyone, please stop talking. I just said this by mistake. How could it be the voice of the holy way?"

However, Magistrate Dong's expression changed, and he walked towards the window, looked at the Jade Belt River outside the window, and said with a smile: "Whether it is the sound of the holy way, you can tell at a glance."

Everyone immediately rushed to the window, even the old people in their seventies or eighties were extremely excited. (To be continued...)
