Seeing Fang Yun and the dean going to Shoujingzhai, many students sighed.
"I wanted to see a good show, but I didn't expect there would be nothing to watch."
"Just one exam is not enough, you should take it twice."
"Yeah, how can one test count?"
"You have no shame, but the dean has some respect. If there is no evidence to prove that Zhang Longxiang is a traitor, then he is not a traitor. Testing him once is already embarrassing, but if you test him repeatedly, it would be too despicable."
"If it is a normal time to recruit people, the dean usually won't mind, but for students like this who transfer to the academy, the dean won't be so easy to deal with. Three years ago, the grandson of Duke Yu had a bad temper and wanted to study at Zhurong Academy, but was rejected by the dean. Duke Yu was very dissatisfied and even said that he wanted to break the dean's literary courage, but three years have passed and the dean is still unscathed."
"Let's go to Shoujingzhai, maybe we can see some good shows!"
Many students went to Shoujingzhai again and watched Fang Yun and his son follow Ma Zhilong into the house.
After two quarters of an hour, the door opened and Fang Yun left alone.
"Ah? That's it? If Zhang Jing'an stays in there, doesn't that mean he can study in Zhurong Academy?"
"I don't think so. The dean should be testing Zhang Jing'an now!"
"Then let's wait a little longer!"
In Shoujingzhai, Ma Zhilong, the president of Zhurong Academy, sat behind the desk, looking at Zhang Jingan who was standing in front of him.
Zhang Jing'an stood there neither arrogantly nor humbly, trying his best to control his emotions.
"I've heard a little about your story." Ma Zhilong said.
Zhang Jing'an blushed and said, "I neglected my education and didn't know how high the heavens and how deep the earth is. After my father came back and taught me strictly, I finally repented and changed my ways. I won't make the same mistakes again."
Ma Zhilong said, "In the past few months, people in Jingzhou occasionally talk about you and your son. They say you served as soldiers, then served as village chiefs. In the end, you even carried manure, which was not decent. If it weren't for the pressure from the King of Chu, the documents impeaching the Marquis of Zhujiang would probably fill up a room. It's not like you haven't been deprived of your title before."
Zhang Jing'an showed a look of shame on his face and said, "I am ashamed. All the things that happened before were done by my father to educate a useless son like me. Thinking back, I owe my father a lot."
"If so, the Marquis of Zhujiang would not speak without a purpose, just as I guessed before. However, I don't know the specific details. Can you tell me from beginning to end?" Ma Zhilong said.
Zhang Jing'an hesitated for a few breaths and said, "This is a private matter between my father and me. If the dean really wants to know, I am not against telling you."
Ma Zhilong smiled and said, "It's not just my personal curiosity. I also want to determine whether you are qualified to enroll. After all, I have determined that you are a piece of rotten wood and cannot study at Zhurong Academy. You must give me a reason to accept you, let me know why you have changed, and whether this change is effective."
Zhang Jing'an nodded and said, "Then I will tell you one by one. I was bullied repeatedly in school. My classmates, teachers, and older students would insult me in various ways, which made me hate school. I hated school very much... or I was afraid to go to school. And... you know that our family situation is very complicated. I just met my father for the first time a few months ago. So. I hated him so much in my heart that I was very presumptuous when we first met..."
Next, Zhang Jing'an recounted the details of Fang Yun's trip to Gou's house to snatch the Pearl River Army flag, his trip to the military camp to serve as a soldier, his trip to be a pavilion chief, and his trip to work. Finally, he talked about the long talk between father and son in the study on a snowy night in the early morning of that day.
After Zhang Jing'an finished speaking, he looked at Ma Zhilong, only to find that Ma Zhilong was lost in thought and remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, Ma Zhilong suddenly sighed and said, "I am so lucky to have such a father! If I had been enlightened by Long Xiang's words when I was a child, I would have become a university scholar much earlier."
Zhang Jing'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he could enter Zhurong Academy to study.
Ma Zhilong said, "I will write a novel about your father-son relationship and include it in the must-read articles for students at Zhurong Academy. After I finish writing it, I will send it to Lord Zhang and ask him to correct it."
Zhang Jing'an nodded, realizing that he had no right to comment.
"From today on, you will live in Zhurong Academy. Lord Zhang said that unless you become a student, you will have to stay here forever. Please wait, I will find someone to arrange your accommodation." Ma Zhilong said.
"Thank you, Mr. Ma!" Zhang Jing'an bowed to express his gratitude.
“If you want to thank someone, thank your father…” Ma Zhilong looked out the window.
After Fang Yun returned to Zhang's house, life returned to normal and life without her son was particularly free.
During the Little New Year, the King of Chu led all the civil and military officials to offer sacrifice to Confucius. Fang Yun participated and took back the official seal belonging to "Marquis of Pearl River".
After obtaining the official seal of the Marquis of Zhujiang, Zhang Longxiang's old friends began to contact him actively, but in the Zhujiang Army, only half of the generals sent letters of congratulations, and the other half seemed to be completely unaware of the matter.
At that time, Zhang Longxiang also had some friends from other countries. Those people did not avoid suspicion and congratulated him one after another.
There were also many literary gatherings in the literary world of Confucius, but no one invited Fang Yun.
Fang Yun was also happy with his leisure time, and continued to learn about Confucius' literary world, while preparing for a breakthrough to the rank of Grand Secretary.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, when the New Year atmosphere had not yet cooled down, the King of Chu issued a royal decree, ordering the "Marquis of Lumen" in the north of Chu to lead 100,000 Lumen troops and 50,000 Jingnan troops to march south together with Zhang Longxiang, Marquis of Zhujiang, to join forces with the Qishan Army and the Zhujiang Army to recapture Lianshan Pass.
After Fang Yun received the king's order, he immediately checked the map of Confucius' literary world.
There was originally a province on the south bank of the Pearl River, but most of it was occupied by monsters and barbarians, leaving only two cities and three passes, and the Pearl River Army and the Qishan Army guarded the two cities respectively.
Zhucheng guarded by the Zhujiang Army is in the east, Hefengcheng guarded by the Qishan Army is in the west, and further south are three checkpoints, two of which belong to the Qishan Army and one belongs to the Zhujiang Army.
Ten years ago, the Pearl River Army was responsible for two checkpoints.
Finally, Fang Yun's gaze fell on Lianshan Pass, which had long been occupied by the barbarians.
Lianshan Pass is located in the heartland of the barbarians. To capture Lianshan Pass is equivalent to declaring war on five large barbarian tribes and facing five barbarian kings and dozens of barbarian lords.
There were only three armies, namely "Lumen", "Qishan" and "Pearl River", attacking Lianshan Pass, and only half of the Lumen army participated in the battle. At the same time, only Lumen Hou and Qishan Hou were university scholars, equivalent to the Barbarian King, and the strongest among the others was only Hanlin, equivalent to the Demon Marquis.
The three armies had a total of 550,000 people, which outnumbered the 300,000 barbarians. However, for the human race, it needed three times as many soldiers as the barbarians to remain undefeated. In addition, with two university scholars against five barbarian kings, the possibility of the human race winning was extremely small.
However, Fang Yun also knew that the State of Chu could not indeed mobilize too many troops, because in addition to guarding against monsters and other countries in other places, the State of Chu also had to send troops to reinforce Liangjie Mountain, and its military strength was stretched to the limit.
This time, the Chu State sent troops to solve the problem once and for all and completely eliminate the five tribes, so as to avoid a fire in the backyard during the battle of Liangjie Mountain.
