"I once said that mistakes can be forgiven because everyone makes mistakes." Fang Yun said as he walked.
When the King of Chu heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The four university scholars also came out of the desperate situation as if they had ropes around their necks and breathed their last.
Fang Yun continued, "I have always believed that we must give people a chance to correct their mistakes. No one is perfect. But mistakes are mistakes, and they are different from serious crimes! Mistakes can be forgiven, but serious crimes cannot be pardoned!"
Fang Yun's voice was so decisive that the five people's faces froze.
The King of Chu knelt there, not knowing what to say.
Fang Yun continued to walk forward and came in front of the four university scholars.
The four university scholars were stunned, looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then retreated together.
The King of Chu was furious. He didn't expect that these four university scholars would just stand by and watch.
"Bastard! Asshole! Waste! Beast, you actually dared to betray your master for fame and fortune! You actually dared to sell out this king! You actually dared to watch someone die without helping!" The King of Chu was furious and vented all his fear, depression and anger on the four university scholars.
The four university scholars looked ashamed but remained motionless.
Fang Yun walked between the four grand secretaries, stepped onto the stairs, and slowly walked towards the platform where the throne was.
At this moment, there was a sudden flash of lightning and thunder at the gate of the palace. A spider-web-like lightning was intertwined, making crackling sounds. It was a hundred feet high and illuminated the entire capital city like daylight.
Faced with such a drastic change, the soldiers in the palace were shocked and helpless.
A few educated people recognized that this was not a natural thunder and lightning, but a very rare relocation of the holy temple.
Even a great scholar, without the permission of the Holy Academy, can only use the Holy Temple Great Teleport once in his life, which can directly teleport people near the Holy Temple to any Holy Temple of the Human Race.
The relocation of the holy temple consumes a great deal of talent.
Lightning struck a large door and a great scholar in purple robes walked out.
A great scholar of the State of Chu, Tu Zhaofeng.
"Fang Xusheng, please show mercy!" Tu Zhaofeng's figure flashed and turned into a series of afterimages, flying to the side of King Chu.
The King of Chu immediately stood up and hid behind Tu Zhaofeng.
Fang Yun looked up at Tu Zhaofeng. This man was obviously over ninety years old, but his skin was not wrinkled at all, and he did not have a single beard. His hair was slightly gray. If one did not look at his weathered eyes, one would have thought he was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.
Tu Zhaofeng bent down and bowed, with his upper body parallel to the ground, completing the standard 90 degrees.
The importance of this etiquette was enough to shock the entire literary world. Tu Zhaofeng had not performed such a grand ceremony for decades.
Fang Yun just watched quietly, without any expression on his face.
Tu Zhaofeng finished bowing, sighed and said, "What the King of Chu did was indeed extremely evil and outrageous. If it were me, I would also have murderous intentions. However, the King of Chu is the soul of Chu after all. His willingness to abdicate has already shaken the foundation of the country. If the world knows that it was you who killed the King of Chu, it will be a very heavy blow to Chu. Fang Xusheng, under the alias Zhang Longxiang, has lived in Chu for many days. I believe he still has the people of Chu in his heart. I hope you can consider the people of Chu and agree to the King of Chu's abdication."
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I admire Mr. Zhaofeng very much, but you are wrong in one thing. The soul of Chu State has never been one person, not the King of Chu, not you, and not me, but the power that allows the people of this country to stand up straight and not be humiliated by foreign enemies! Those farmers who feed people, those workers who keep people warm, those soldiers who defend the borders, those scholars in research institutions... The power created by so many Chu people together is the soul of Chu State! You can't do it, I can't do it, and the King of Chu can't do it even more."
Tu Zhaofeng said: "Even if the King of Chu is not the soul of Chu, he should be considered the head of Chu."
"When the leader of the Chu State murdered innocent students, murdered innocent peasant women, and colluded with barbarians, someone needs to behead him and someone needs to replace his head. I will take the responsibility of beheading him, and I will give the job of replacing his head to Mr. Zhaofeng." Fang Yun said.
"If the King of Chu abdicates, you will be beheaded." Tu Zhaofeng said.
"When I say beheading, I mean killing. It means beheading both the mind and the body!" Fang Yun said.
The King of Chu was stiff all over, and the four university scholars showed helplessness. This Fang Xusheng was even more eccentric than the rumors said. How could a person like him say that he wanted to kill the King of Chu in person
Tu Zhaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "Fang Xusheng, why are you doing this? After all, you are the Xusheng of the entire human race, and this literary world is, after all, just a literary world. Before you entered the literary world, the various literary worlds were like hiding in the shadows, and few people paid attention to them. The abdication of the King of Chu and your peaceful departure, I think, will be the greatest benefit to the Confucius literary world."
"No, just abdicating will not really scare the monarchs of other countries. Only by killing the King of Chu and setting an example to others can it be of the greatest benefit to the Confucian literary world. Indeed, the literary world is not important to me. Even if all the people in the Confucian literary world died, it would not affect me. I should have left freely and not let the stench of the literary world stain my clothes. Unfortunately, hundreds of millions of people in the literary world are reaching out and grabbing my clothes! They are both living and dead! I can't move!"
Fang Yun finished speaking slowly, and the four university scholars were shocked physically and mentally.
Tu Zhaofeng sighed again and said, "Fang Xusheng, even if you add Zhang Longxiang's contribution, it is still difficult for you to fight against the Zong family and other aristocratic families in the human race. What you should do now is to keep a low profile and prepare for the impact of the semi-saint to avoid any problems. I believe you know in your heart that once you kill the King of Chu, the Zong family and other families will definitely take decisive action and convict you! This is not what I want."
"Indeed, when doing something, people should consider the consequences. But Mr. Zhao Feng miscalculated. On the one hand, killing the King of Chu might lead to siege, and on the other hand, not killing the King of Chu would make me unhappy. I can only choose the former! Sometimes, if I encounter a dilemma, I will only tell myself to choose whichever one can make me truly happy! The life of the King of Chu is important, but my mood is more important!"
Tu Zhaofeng looked at Fang Yun helplessly. Perhaps only the saints and Fang Yun in the world dared to say that the fate of a king was not as important as their own mood.
"Mr. Zhaofeng, please move aside." Fang Yun said.
Tu Zhaofeng said helplessly: "I once promised the King of Chu that if the King of Chu was in trouble, I would help him with all my strength. I can't give in, and I can't give in."
"Oh?" Fang Yun glanced at Tu Zhaofeng coldly, then continued walking upwards, getting closer and closer to Tu Zhaofeng and King Chu.
When the two sides were three steps apart, Tu Zhaofeng sighed softly, raised his fist to the sky, and said, "Brother Kong, I have the audacity to invite you. I hope you can come and persuade me. Please, Saint Fang Xu, spare the King of Chu."
"Alas..." An old figure appeared beside Tu Zhaofeng.
Fang Yun took a closer look and found that this person was Kong Qingnan, a great scholar of the Kong family. He was in charge of all matters related to the Confucian literary world and was the most powerful person in the Confucian literary world.
