Tong Li didn't expect that this man could make Shi Jun feel inferior. He immediately showed shock and admiration and asked, "He is so young, but he made Shi Jun, one of the four great talents, so angry. Is it Shi Jun, the leader of the four great talents, or the genius of the saintly families?"
"Of course it's Mr. Shi of this generation. Back then, he was discussing poetry and essays with his mentor, and I was serving on the side." Shi Dehong deliberately raised his voice so that everyone around him could hear.
Almost half of the students exclaimed softly, looking at the handsome young man with outstanding temperament with sparkling eyes.
Although Fang Yun was also the most famous writer in Jiangzhou, he had only been in the limelight for less than three months. Whether in terms of literary status, achievements or literary reputation, he could not be compared with Shi Jun.
"Mr. Shi Lu Huaijiang! The leader of the four great talents. Although he failed to activate the literary star when he was promoted to Grand Secretary, it was because he devoted more energy to studying history books."
"I'm so happy that the future Semi-Saint of the Historian is here!"
"He is a role model for the literati of the Ten Kingdoms and is far more respected than the other three great talents."
"The first chronological history book, The Spring and Autumn Annals, was written by Confucius. It can be said that Confucius himself is one of the founders of historians. Although Mr. Shi attaches more importance to history than to other things, he is definitely an orthodox Confucianist and naturally deserves to be a role model."
"Many people say that his achievements in history will be no less than those of several semi-saint historians such as Zuo Qiuming and Sima Qian. It is said that the head of the Sima family even gave him a volume of "Records of the Grand Historian" written by Sima Qian himself, which is equivalent to an incomplete semi-saint literary treasure."
"What a pity! This Mr. Shi knows that Qing countryman. Fang Yun is going to be in trouble."
"Alas, what a coincidence today. Someone please advise Fang Yun to hide away from the limelight. This Shi Jun is not good at the interpretation of the classics, but he has condensed his literary courage with the entire "Spring and Autumn Annals". Whether it is his will or the ability to kill monsters, he is no worse than Jianmei Gong. Jianmei Gong once said that Shi Jun is just young. Once Shi Jun becomes a great scholar and condenses the long river of history, no one below the semi-saint will be his opponent."
Fang Shouye sighed and said, "Fang Yun. Let's go. Since Shi Dehong knows Shi Jun, Shi Jun can ruin your reputation with just one word. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Let's go."
Fang Yun did not move at all, his eyes were firm, his expression was normal, and he said: "I am innocent and have done nothing wrong. I can go anywhere in the world. This entrance to the Academy of Literature is no exception!"
Fang Yun's voice was not loud, but extremely firm. The students around him heard it, some admired him, some sighed. A scholar dared to face the university scholar directly. This courage was enough to prove Fang Yun's pride.
People far away couldn't hear it, but many scholars and historians from the Academy of Literature, Lu Huaijiang, had excellent hearing. They all heard what these people said and looked over.
Shi Dehong took the lead. He blocked Lu Huaijiang's sight, bowed and said, "Shi Jun's disciple Shi Dehong meets Mr. Huaijiang. It has been a long time since I last saw him. Mr. Huaijiang looks even more energetic. If my teacher saw him, he would definitely feel inferior to him."
Shi Dehong smiled, showing unprecedented confidence on his face.
Many students looked at Fang Yun with sympathy. If Shi Jun took action, only Li Wenying could stop him. But Li Wenying was not here, so Fang Yun would be in big trouble. Even Wen Gong's hesitation would be the least of his problems.
Fang Yun's gaze remained firm, but cold sweat continued to seep out of his back. The pressure brought by being the leader of the four great talents of this generation was too great.
Lu Huaijiang blinked his eyes, and there seemed to be words flowing in his eyes. He said slowly: "Mencius said: Boyi, do not serve a lord who is not his own, and do not befriend a lord who is not his own friend. Do not stand in the court of an evil person, and do not speak to an evil person."
Everyone knows that this is a quote from Mencius. It means that Boyi would not assist a monarch who was not his ideal monarch, and would not make friends who were not his ideal friends. He would not serve in a court with evil people, and would not talk to evil people.
Everyone was shocked. When a great man like Shi said this, it was almost like he was drawing his sword to the enemy and fighting to the death.
But was this said to Shi Dehong or Fang Yun
Shi Dehong was overjoyed, and was sure in his heart that Mr. Shi would not treat him like this. After all, the four great talents had a good relationship with each other, and Mr. Shi had also given him guidance.
Fang Yun's face turned pale. If Shi Jun said such words, it would mean that he would face a catastrophe.
Lu Huaijiang continued: "He destroyed the lion monster, defeated the wolf barbarians, subdued the bull barbarians, and made the Chanyu flee. After that, for more than ten years, the wolf barbarians did not dare to approach the border city of Zhao." This is from "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Li Mu", which lists the achievements of Li Mu, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, which made the monsters and barbarians dare not approach the border of Zhao.
Shi Jun's reading of history was not aimless. Everyone realized a possibility that Shi Jun had turned the sacred words of "Records of the Grand Historian" into actual power in order to embarrass Fang Yun, so they all looked over.
Fang Yun took a deep breath and waited for Lu Huaijiang's power to manifest, while Fang Shouye opened his mouth slightly, ready to spit out the talent spear at any time.
But, nothing happened.
"Huh?" Many people exclaimed softly, but they saw something strange out of the corner of their eyes.
Shi Dehong, with a smile on his face, was lifted up by an invisible force, his feet one foot off the ground. A huge force pushed him away, and the people behind him were also separated by the invisible force.
In the previous breath, Shi Dehong said that he knew this Mr. Shi, but in the next breath he was pushed away by Mr. Shi with the power of the sacred words in history books.
“Sir…” Shi Dehong looked at Lu Huaijiang with grief and indignation. He didn’t understand why Shi Jun treated him like that. This was the hostile Jing Kingdom, and it was at the gate of the Academy of Literature, with a large number of literati and scholars!
By doing this, Lu Huaijiang is destroying his reputation with his own hands.
Shi Dehong still wanted to ask or beg, but he was just a juren, while Lu Huaijiang was a grand councilor, and he was mobilizing the power in "Records of the Grand Historian". Shi Dehong was simply unable to resist and continued to be pushed away by the powerful force.
There were tens of thousands of people standing in front of the entrance to the Academy of Literature. Everyone saw Shi Dehong being hung in the air, being pushed farther and farther away from the Academy by an invisible force. It seemed that he could be pushed at least ten miles away.
Shi Dehong's whole body was shaking violently, and he wished he could hit his head against a wall and die. As a disciple of Shi Jun, being insulted in public was beyond what he could endure.
He would rather be scolded by Lu Huaijiang and told to get out than be first labeled a villain by the words of Mencius and then pushed away by the power of Records of the Grand Historian.
Lu Huaijiang looked at Fang Yun and nodded. He said, "Don't be afraid of such villains. We will wait for you in the Holy Courtyard."
After Lu Huaijiang finished speaking, a blue cloud appeared under his feet, carrying him high into the sky and away from Yuhai City.
After the people nearby watched Lu Huaijiang leave, they all looked at Fang Yun.
The leader of the four great talents must be in the Holy Court and wait for Fang Yun!
Shi Jun believes that Fang Yun has the potential to keep pace with them.
Fang Yun was a little confused. In fact, half of what he said just now was to cheer himself up. After all, he was facing Shi Jun, and he had already prepared himself to be humiliated by Shi Jun.
At the last moment, Fang Yun even imagined himself enduring humiliation and studying hard for many years, then stepping into the Holy Academy, competing with Shi Jun in anger, and writing a novel based on this.
But, how come Shi Dehong, who was going to attack him, was blown away
Even after Lu Huaijiang left, Fang Yun still couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.
Fang Yun looked at Dong Zhifu and others, and found that their smiles were very familiar. Fang Yun immediately remembered the scene of the examination for Tongsheng in Jixian Academy of Literature. Not long after he finished writing "Spring Dawn", the expressions of those examiners when they passed by were highly overlapped with those of these people.
"Did something happen that I don't know about? Isn't Mr. Shi in the Holy Academy? Why did he suddenly come to the Yuhai Mansion Academy? Why did he say he would wait for me in the Holy Academy? Could it be that there was nothing wrong with the scriptures I wrote yesterday, and that I wrote them very well?"
Fang Yun’s mind was full of question marks.
Tong Li, who was standing by, was completely confused and still didn't understand why Shi Jun's disciple was driven away by Shi Jun, and in front of so many people.
"This doesn't change the fact that you failed the exam!" Tong Li clenched his fists tightly and stared at the officer holding the golden list.
The officials seemed very satisfied to see Fang Yun's puzzled look, so Prefect Dong smiled and asked the officers to post the list of candidates for the Yuhai Prefecture examination that year.
All the officials kept their mouths shut. They could talk about what happened yesterday in the examination room where no outsiders were present. But they could not speak carelessly now.
After the gold medal list was posted, the three identical words after Fang Yun’s name stood out.
First class! First class! First class!
The crowd exploded with a bang. Countless people shouted and talked, and the news spread far away at an incredible speed.
"I... I can't hold it back any longer and I'm going to curse! To be in the top three in the provincial examination, this isn't a question of whether it's unprecedented or not, it's just that there has never been a scholar like this since ancient times!"
"Fang Yun is so great! I was worried that Fang Yun would snatch my place in the Book Mountain before, but he got the top three in Yuhai City, which is unprecedented since ancient times. He has made Yuhai City famous for its literature. I am willing to never pass the exam, let alone a mere place in the Book Mountain!"
"This Fang Yun is simply not a human! Did he really inherit the Half Saint inheritance?"
"Fang Shuangjia... No! From now on he will be Fang Wujia!"
Fang Shouye slapped Fang Yun on the shoulder and scolded him with a smile: "You little brat! You made me worry all day! It was clearly a first-class sutra, what were you worried about yesterday! You're almost pissing me off to death!"
Yang Yuhuan smiled happily, revealing her white teeth, and all the shadows in her eyes were dispelled.
Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Shouye shook his head and smiled, "You've made us so nervous just for the prefectural exam. If you have the chance to go to the Holy Ruins on August 15 and fight for our lives there, we'll be scared sick by you."
"Doesn't the Holy Ruins occur every ten years? This year is just the eighth year." Fang Yun asked.
Fang Shouye said: "I got the news this morning. According to the saint's inference, Wenqu's five movements caused the Wenqu starlight to become stronger, and the Holy Ruins will be opened in advance this year. I just don't know how strong the strange power of the Holy Ruins is this year. If even Jinshi can enter, then I want to give it a try!"
Before Fang Yun could continue talking about the Holy Ruins, the people around him rushed over to congratulate him.
"Congratulations Fang Maocai! The place in the Book Mountain has been confirmed. You can enter the Book Mountain tomorrow. Congratulations!"
"You must go to the Three Mountains and Two Pavilions and suppress that Qing countryman!"
"Yes! Not only must we suppress that man from Qing, we must also punch Wu and kick the scholars from aristocratic families!" a young student shouted.
"If you can become one of the top three talents, you will definitely be able to win the first place in the mountain of books and enhance the prestige of our country!"
"Fang Yun, the title of the best scholar in the ten countries depends entirely on the Book Mountain tomorrow."
"You must let them know how powerful we Jing people are!"
Fang Yun agreed repeatedly, but there were too many people and he was sweating profusely.
Tong Li, who was not far away, hurried out with his head down. He was clearly ranked second among the scholars, but he did not show any joy at all. The fear and hatred in his eyes became even stronger. (To be continued...)
ps: .
The next chapter will start writing the Mountain of Books. The Mountain of Books is not easy to write, but it is the real beginning of the book, so I spent a lot of energy on it. In addition, I also have to refine the Holy Ruins, so I write very slowly.
Today, Hengsaotianya, the author of "Endless Dantian", helped me find a publishing house in Taiwan and is working on a traditional Chinese publishing contract. Because it is my first time publishing and I am not familiar with the process, it took me a lot of time, resulting in insufficient time. I can probably finish the second chapter before 0:00. I am very sorry.
The monthly ticket is 1300 yuan, and after deducting the extra time I have, I still have three updates every nine days. I wrote too slowly today, so I can't update three times. I punished myself once and increased it to three updates every ten days. I dare not say that I don't make mistakes, but I have the determination and action to make up for it!
There will be three updates tomorrow!
By the way, a fact that makes me blush is that "Endless Dantian" once updated a hundred chapters in one day. When I mention this kind of author from other people's works, I feel deeply ashamed!
