At the same time, the power of the holy temple's ban gradually dissipated, and Fang Yun had the seal of Prince Ji in his hand.
In the current Confucian literary world, the person with the highest rank in the Holy Academy is Fang Yun.
Even if all the great scholars in the literary world, all the princes, all the scholars and even everyone joined forces, they would not be able to suppress Fang Yun.
Now they finally understood why Fang Yun had said before that his punishment of Gou Bao was innocent.
"Fang Xusheng, spare my life..."
Many Hanlin scholars and Jinshi completely lost their fighting spirit the moment they saw Fang Yun.
In terms of paper reputation, Zhang Longxiang can indeed be compared with Fang Yun now. However, Fang Yun is a veritable virtual saint who not only has literary fame, but also status and power. However, Zhang Longxiang only has literary fame, and his overall strength is far from comparable to Fang Yun.
Most of the Hanlin scholars and Jinshi scholars present admired Fang Yun very much. Even if the others did not admire him, they were full of respect and had no negative thoughts. After all, the literary world had never had any conflicts with Fang Yun before.
The fact that they can learn "Dragon Sword Poem" and "Sword Chant" is enough to prove everything.
They dare to kill the geniuses in the literary world, but they dare not touch the virtual saints in the human world.
Before the punishment from Tianxing Shidao came, many Hanlin and Jinshi scholars began to be shaken.
Death is terrible, but the crime of assassinating the human race's virtual saint is even more terrible.
"You guys didn't have to come."
After Fang Yun finished speaking, the seventy-four swords returned and pierced the thirty-seven heads.
All the Hanlin scholars and Jinshi closed their eyes with endless regret, and seventy-four lines of tears fell along with their bodies, splashing and mixing with the blood.
The four grand secretaries and the King of Chu looked at the thirty-seven bloody corpses, their minds going blank.
Even in the most brutal battle in the history of the literary world, it was impossible for so many Hanlin and Jinshi to die. This could only happen in a place like Liangjie Mountain, which was like a meat grinder.
The talented person that the State of Chu had cultivated with all its national strength died unexpectedly due to the law of nature.
The Holy Court had an iron rule that those killed by Tianxing Shidao would not be given a proper burial, would not have a monument erected, would not be included in the official history books, and even their families would not be allowed to offer sacrifices to them. For the human race, who held the custom of "regarding the dead as the greatest", this was as much of a disaster as exterminating an entire family.
Each country also has relevant laws. Anyone who has been punished by Heaven’s will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations for ten generations.
Even the King of Chu did not dare to break this rule. Any monarch who went against this rule could only abdicate.
Dying from the stigma of being a teacher of heaven is second only to being a traitor, and even more serious than treason!
The King of Chu stared blankly at the Hanlin and Grand Secretary lying in a pool of blood, then turned around and looked at Fang Yun blankly. He had completely lost the ability to think, not only because Fang Yun was a false saint, but also because Fang Yun's actions often seemed peaceful but were actually extremely extreme.
In private, Fang Yun has another nickname, Fang Miemen, and in the demon world, Fang Yun's nickname is Demon King.
In the deepest part of his heart, the dark side of King Chu was shouting, shouting to launch a sneak attack on Fang Yun. However, King Chu's reason told him that this was absolutely impossible. Not only because Fang Yun had supreme control over all the holy temples in the Confucian literary world, but also because the Confucian literary world had always been supervised by the great Confucian scholars of the Kong family.
The King of Chu knew very well that if he killed Zhang Longxiang, the great scholar of the Kong family would hesitate and allow him to succeed. However, if he killed Fang Yun, the great scholar of the Kong family would not and could not hesitate and would definitely stop him at the first opportunity.
The King of Chu held the imperial seal and sent a letter.
The four grand secretaries lowered their heads slightly, put away their sharp words, and lowered their hands like lambs to be slaughtered.
"Why don't you speak?" Fang Yun looked at the five people calmly.
The four university scholars still kept their heads down and kept silent.
The King of Chu moved his lips slightly, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "I... No, I have met Fang Xusheng. Everything before was a misunderstanding. I will do my best to make up for it! Qishan Marquis Gou Bao is guilty of a heinous crime. He will be stripped of his title and his entire clan will be executed! Lumen Marquis is guilty of a heinous crime. He will be stripped of his title and his entire clan will be executed. As for those who beat Zhang Jing'an, all of their clans will be exterminated! This king... I will issue an edict of remorse and abdicate tomorrow."
The four university scholars revealed a hint of sadness. The kings of Chu in all dynasties were so glorious that they were almost appointed by Confucius. As long as they did not go against their bloodline, the throne of the king of Chu would be stable for generations. It would be far more difficult for it to decline than any imperial family in Shengyuan Continent. It could almost be said that it would last forever.
But now, the King of Chu can only abdicate, which is the greatest punishment a monarch can suffer.
Fang Yun raised his foot and walked forward slowly towards the throne in front of him, talking as he walked.
"After all, the Zhang family was at fault. Zhang Wankong's whereabouts are unknown. As the King of Chu, you have just ascended the throne when a suspected traitor appears. You are under tremendous pressure and are attacked by other countries. Therefore, it is normal for you to hate the Zhang family. This Saint descended into the literary world not to avenge the Zhang family, but to hone myself. Therefore, this Saint did not want to take revenge at first. At most, I would abolish Gou Bao or Lu Menhou."
"It's just that you have harmed me time and time again. When you colluded with the barbarians to besiege the Pearl River Army, I changed my mind. However, I still wanted to give you a decent look at that time. You just need to admit your mistakes and apologize in public."
"When we arrived at Liangjie Mountain, the situation changed again. You actually ordered Gou Bao to harm me in Liangjie Mountain and prevent me from taking military merit. Even so, I said to myself that if I return from Liangjie Mountain, I will give you a decent gift and let you abdicate due to illness, and let your eldest son inherit the throne of King of Chu."
"but!"
Fang Yun stared into the eyes of the King of Chu and took three steps before continuing, "You tyrannical and incompetent monarch, you wanted to kill my son Zhang Jing'an just to make me uneasy in Liangjie Mountain! In order to make Jing'an unable to find a doctor, you were so cruel that you transferred all the high-ranking doctors and scholars away from Jingzhou! If I hadn't made great contributions at that time and received an urgent letter in the first time, and the Human Race Saint Academy sent the university scholars of the medical saint family to the literary world, Jing'an would have been brain damaged and became demented, and even died in Jingzhou!"
"Then... I..." The King of Chu wanted to defend himself, but he didn't dare to lie in front of Fang Yun. Because the King of Chu felt that he couldn't do anything radical except admit his mistakes, otherwise Fang Yun would definitely take more radical revenge.
"When I was in Zhucheng, I just had a meal at the couple's house. At most, I experienced the people's sentiments, but I couldn't even be considered as friends. Your men actually sent people to capture the couple, and even caused the peasant woman to die during exile! Such behavior is simply unforgivable! If our luck cannot severely punish the murderer, how can we have the face to call ourselves a false saint? How can we have the face to stand under the Wenquxing!"
Every word Fang Yun spoke was like a hammer, striking the hearts of the four grand secretaries and the King of Chu.
Fang Yun's words seemed to gather the strength of all the people of Chu State, causing the four university scholars to lower their heads even more.
"Fang Xusheng, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
The King of Chu suddenly knelt down under the throne, showing a look of regret and tears in his eyes.
The four university scholars were shocked and wanted to reach out to help the King of Chu up, but they could only watch. Then they showed disappointment, not expecting that the king they served would be so cowardly.
Even if he dies, a king should not kneel down to worship a false saint!
