Originally there were only a few silver strands in Liu Shan's hair, but now, it has turned white in an instant!
Ji Zhibai was stunned. He didn't expect Liu Shan to have changed so much.
Afterwards, Ji Zhibai noticed that the sky above the capital city shook violently, and a terrifying force pressed down.
boom…
The roofs of all the houses in the Liu Mansion exploded, rubble and cracked tiles flew everywhere, and everyone in the Liu Mansion fled in panic.
The terrifying force continued to press down. Liu Shan's eyes were wide open, his white hair was flying, and the blue university scholar's robe around him was filled with energy, swelling everywhere. The energy quickly broke through the robe, leaving cracks on the blue robe.
Liu Shan gritted his teeth, veins popped out on his forehead, and he pressed his hands on the table. His ten fingers actually slowly sank into the hard rosewood table.
"Squeak..."
There was a sharp sound between Liu Shan's eyebrows, like fingernails scratching against glass, which was disgusting.
Ji Zhibai was shocked.
That's the external force that left the mark on Wendan!
Ji Zhibai was only a Jinshi and was very young, so his literary courage was shattered after the blow.
However, Liu Shan's literary talent has not only reached the second level, but also, due to decades of training, he is far stronger than young people of the same level.
The power of public resentment cannot break Liu Shan's literary courage, but it can leave traces of damage on it!
Wen Dan collapsed, like an egg turned into nothingness by a powerful force.
The shattered Wen Dan was like an egg being smashed into pieces, with the yolk and egg white flowing out.
When the eggshell cracks, it is like a crack in the eggshell, and the yolk may flow out.
If the tattoo leaves a mark, it will only damage the eggshell, and the white film inside the eggshell will still be there.
But once it’s broken, it’s broken, and it’s extremely difficult to restore.
Before last year's Jinshi examination, Fang Yun wrote a poem "Bamboo and Rock" in prison, using public opinion to attack Liu Shan, forcing Liu Shan to rest for several months before recovering.
Public grievances are more terrifying than public sentiment.
Now Liu Shanwendan has left a mark and is covered in dust. As long as he is still an official of Jing State and as long as he is still helping Zongsheng, this dust will never be removed. He will never be able to be promoted to a great scholar.
Now Liushan has only four ways to resolve public grievances.
Resigned.
Betray the Saint.
These public grievances were taken over by Zongsheng.
The State of Jing was destroyed.
Zong Sheng aspires to become the second-best saint, and any public resentment is extremely fatal to him. Once he dares to take on the public resentment of Mizhou, Fang Yun will have a way to force him to take on the public resentment of the entire Jing Kingdom, making his chances of being crowned the second-best saint extremely slim.
If Liu Shan betrays the ancestor, he will die.
Once he resigns, it means that the Zuo Xiang party will completely collapse, and Zong Sheng’s layout in Jing State will completely fail.
Now, Liu Shan has only one way, which is to push for the destruction of Jing State.
However, for a left prime minister with a history of literary talent, not to mention pushing for the demise of the Kingdom of Jing, it is a big problem whether he can use the power of literary talent within three months!
Liu Shan can only lie at home in the next few months. If he dares to go to the court, the enemies of the Left Prime Minister will definitely provoke a dispute.
The left prime minister with his literary talent intact is like a mainstay and a stabilizing force in the court struggle. However, his literary talent is now damaged. Once he is caught in the court struggle, his literary talent will inevitably be worse off. He may even be found by someone and cracked with one blow!
Ji Zhibai felt a chill all over his body. For the first time, he realized that Fang Yun had not only surpassed him, but had even crushed him. Fang Yun was at least a person who could be ranked with Liu Shan!
"The reason why Fang Yun didn't attack me at the No. 1 Scholar Banquet is not because he doesn't care. It's because I am not worthy of being attacked, so he directly bypassed me to take revenge on my mentor! In this way, he can not only achieve the purpose of indirectly attacking me. Not only can he attack my mentor, but he can also prevent my mentor from counterattacking after he leaves Jingguo for the Holy Academy. This is his real goal!"
Ji Zhibai looked at Liu Shan and couldn't say a word. He and Liu Shan had already planned a counterattack. As long as Fang Yun left Jingguo and arrived at the Holy Academy, the Zuo Xiang Party would launch a full-scale attack.
But Fang Yun shattered all their plans.
"Fang Yun, I underestimated you!" Liu Shan slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His silver hair not only did not make him look too old, but added an inexplicable charm to him. His eyes became different from before. Before, his eyes were always calm like a lake, but now, his eyes were like a surging ocean, full of endless fighting spirit.
Liu Shan took a deep breath, and the wrinkles on his face slowly disappeared. His skin became tight again, as if he was decades younger.
"Master, are you okay? " Ji Zhibai asked tremblingly.
"It doesn't matter! It's just a trace left by the literary talent. Even if the literary talent completely collapses, I dare to fight against the heaven and earth, let alone the mere luck of Fang!"
Ji Zhibai noticed that Liu Shan's voice had changed. Before, the voice was like a trickle that never stopped, but now Liu Shan's voice was rougher, like a rushing river.
"You..." Ji Zhibai didn't dare to continue, and even suspected that Liu Shan was not in his right mind due to the blow.
"It was because I, the master, underestimated Fang Yun and the heroes of the world that I got caught in my own trap and now am takin' the bitter fruit." A bitter look appeared on Liu Shan's face.
"Then you..." Ji Zhibai still didn't dare to say it clearly.
"I should thank Fang Yun. If I hadn't suffered this setback, I would still be obsessed with my past achievements and mistakenly believe that Jingguo is still under control. A blessing in disguise! Back then, I set my ambition to control Jingguo, and I took one step at a time and finally accomplished it. Today, I set my ambition to destroy Jingguo and start all over again!"
Liu Shan's voice was resounding, and the martyr was still full of ambition in his old age.
"When my teacher was charging into battle, I was unable to follow him. Now that my teacher is starting over again, I will follow him till death! Let's fight back with all our might!" Ji Zhibai's blood rushed to his head and his heart was beating fast.
"Well... I, the teacher, will leave my literary talent here and close the door to visitors for now. I'll take a rest for three months before we talk..." After saying this, Liu Shan looked out the window, full of vigor and energy, as strong as ever.
Ji Zhibai just stood there.
After leaving Tongshan, Fang Yun led everyone back to the capital. Before they arrived at Quanyuan, all kinds of gossip in the capital were flying around and many people were passing letters.
"You destroyed Liu Shan's ancestral temple? He will definitely come after you, so hurry up and hide in the Holy Temple!"
"You actually caused public resentment?"
"Something happened at the Liu Mansion!"
"Liu Shan claimed to be ill and closed his door to visitors for three months. How strange! Could it be that he was just bluffing and waiting for you to leave Jingguo to catch us off guard?"
"Rumor has it that Liu Shan Wen Dan left a mark! Well done!"
"The green mountains are lucky to bury loyal bones, and the white iron is innocent to cast treacherous ministers. Good! It will be even better if the sun shines brightly! Just a pair of couplets and a horizontal scroll, but it seems to hide a bloody and tearful past. Only you can do it!" Cai He repeatedly praised Fang Yun.
Fang Yun secretly thought that Cai He was indeed a man of great vision, and was worthy of being called a late bloomer. The history of Qin Hui and Yue Fei back then was more than just blood and tears, it was simply a moving story.
Fang Yun walked to Quan Garden and looked in the direction of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. He felt relieved. Now that he could go to the Holy Academy, he had no worries.
After returning to Quanyuan, Fang Yun put everything behind him and prepared for his next journey in the ocean of learning.
The battle of learning, determined to win! .
