"Please ask Fang Xusheng to issue the king's order to help the people in danger and put an end to the chaos!" The other three university scholars finally lowered their noble heads.

Fang Yun nodded slightly, then held the jade seal of the King of Chu and issued the royal decree.

"All officials of the fourth rank or above in the city of Jingzhou of the Chu State shall come to the palace immediately. Anyone who fails to arrive within two quarters of an hour will be executed!"

Afterwards, Fang Yun continued to issue royal decrees, ordering Prince Jing to take over the defense of Jingzhou City and impose martial law throughout the city.

Finally, Fang Yun closed the letter delivery system in the entire Jingzhou City.

Fang Yun sat high on the throne, waiting quietly.

Just a few dozen breaths later, the first group of officials arrived outside the gate. Before they entered the palace, one of them said passionately, "I heard that the thief Zhang Longxiang broke into the palace. I came to your rescue late. I hope your majesty will forgive me. Zhang Longxiang and his son are traitors and traitors. They are treasonous and should be executed with their entire clan!"

Then, another official echoed with a eloquent voice: "The King of Chu is wise. He has eliminated the evildoers and revitalized the Chu State. Within ten years, our Great Chu will surely become the most powerful country in the literary world!"

The four university scholars sitting under Fang Yun's seat looked embarrassed and could only lower their heads without saying a word.

Not long after, the officials arrived at the stairs outside the palace gate. Before they stepped onto the platform of the palace, they saw a young man in blue sitting on the throne. His appearance was very different from that of the King of Chu.

Fang Yun's portrait has long been circulated among all circles.

These officials stayed on the steps, their eyes wide open, trying their best to think, but they could not understand why Xu Sheng Fang Yun was sitting on the throne, nor did they understand why he used the jade seal to convey the king's order.

Several officials instinctively wanted to use official seals to convey messages, but found that the official seals had lost their function of delivering letters.

"Look to the left side of the throne..." a scholar reminded in a trembling voice.

The others looked there and felt as if they were falling into an icy cave. A headless corpse wearing a dragon robe was lying there. They knew without a doubt that it was the King of Chu.

However, these officials could not guess that Zhang Longxiang and Fang Yun were the same person, so they could only move forward.

They all knew the four grand secretaries, and found that they were as humble and submissive as the boys under the saint's seat. They wanted to know what had happened, so they winked at the four grand secretaries, but they were winking at a blind man. The four grand secretaries ignored them completely and just stood there seriously.

These officials had no choice but to stand silently inside the palace.

Time passed slowly, and at two quarters of an hour, the main gate of the palace was closed, and all officials of the fourth rank or above in Jingzhou City gathered inside the palace.

Afterwards, Fang Yun issued a royal decree, allowing the seventh son of Prince Wu to inherit the throne of King of Chu, and then announced that the old King of Chu had colluded with the barbarians and committed the crime of treason, and was executed on the spot.

Afterwards, Fang Yun made a series of adjustments to official positions, sending some people away to retire and promoting those talented officials.

Except for the four grand secretaries, all the officials present did not know what had happened. But one thing was clear: in the literary world, Xu Sheng's status exceeded that of all kings, emperors or great scholars. They did not dare to question Fang Yun and could only accept it honestly.

The court meeting lasted until the next morning, when Fang Yun said, "The identity of this Saint must not be disclosed, otherwise you will be considered a traitor!"

As Fang Yun gave the order, a force was released from outside the Holy Temple, like a rain of light that sprinkled all over the vicinity of the palace, forming a force that silenced everyone and sealed off all the people. No matter how they leaked the fact that Zhang Longxiang was Fang Yun, they would surely be killed by the Holy Temple.

Some of those officials had already begun to doubt Fang Yun's identity, but they did not dare to discuss it with anyone and could only keep the matter to themselves.

The process of the new King of Chu ascending the throne was very smooth because all the scholars who opposed it had been secretly eliminated.

But within a few days, peace returned to the State of Chu, and some Chu people discovered that there were small changes in the State of Chu.

The new King of Chu announced that the Zhujiang Marquis family was innocent and all previous rumors were false accusations. Because of Zhang Longxiang's great contribution in the Battle of Liangjie Mountain, he promoted Zhujiang Marquis to Zhujiang Duke.

The Qishanhou family and the Lumenhou family were accused of treason, especially the Qishanhou family. All their property was confiscated and donated to Liangjieshan by Fang Yun.

The new King of Chu was very fond of the poems of Fang Yun and Zhang Longxiang, and issued a royal decree requiring all academies, schools, and private schools in Chu to include all the works of Fang Yun and Zhang Longxiang in the enlightenment reading materials or children's reading materials, and that they must be compulsory subjects.

The Pearl River Army, which had fought in Liangjie Mountain, returned to the State of Chu and received the warmest welcome from the human race. The Pearl River Army regained control of Zhucheng, and their status and treatment were greatly improved. At the same time, the army was expanded from 200,000 to 500,000.

The Ji Family Restaurant in Jingzhou City suddenly became famous and became the most popular restaurant in the whole Jingzhou, just because on the wall of the Ji Family Restaurant hung a poem "Climbing the Ji Family Restaurant" written by Zhang Longxiang.

Zhang Jing'an returned to Jingzhou and was treated like a hero. People from various families in Jingzhou City flocked to Zhang's mansion, Marquis of Zhujiang, to seek marriage with the Marquis of Zhujiang.

Zhang Longxiang announced the news to the public and began to cultivate himself in the literary world to consolidate his realm. From then on, Zhujiang Hou Zhang Longxiang never showed up again.

Many people noticed that Zhang Jing'an was always unhappy, but no one knew why.

On New Year's Eve, not long after Zhang Longxiang went into seclusion, news came from the Holy Academy that Fang Yun had returned from the Blood Ray Realm and had been promoted to Grand Secretary.

After the Battle of Bi Can, the Shengyuan Continent and the discussion list became somewhat dull. When this news came out, the entire human race was excited. There had never been a Grand Secretary under the age of twenty in the human race. Even the most famous child prodigies in ancient times could only be promoted to Grand Secretary after the age of twenty.

However, Fang Yun did not care about the situation in the outside world. After returning to the Holy Academy, he reunited with his family first, and then sent a letter to the Blue Dragon King Ao Qingyue, asking the East China Sea Dragon Palace to prepare to send him into the dragon clan's war world, preferably without telling the West China Sea Dragon Clan.

Afterwards, Fang Yun stayed in the Holy Academy to practice in seclusion.

Fang Yun had been very busy these days, especially on the Liangjie Mountain, where he had gone through enough trials. What Fang Yun had to do now was to fully understand this year's experience and continue to hone himself.

Fang Yun took his own Wen Tai Cone from the Holy Academy and used it to strengthen the Wanmin Wen Tai and Xuehai Wen Tai. At the same time, Fang Yun began to condense the third Wen Tai, which had been determined to be the True Dragon Wen Tai.

However, this kind of writing platform has never appeared in the world. Fang Yun had to rely entirely on his own exploration and fell into endless failures.

While Fang Yun was practicing in seclusion and ignoring the affairs of the outside world, Xiangzhou became increasingly unstable.

That year, Fang Yunwen fought against the Kingdom of Qing and won a great victory, taking back Xiangzhou from the Kingdom of Qing.

Although Xiangzhou was originally the territory of Jing State, it had been ruled by Qing State for many years. Except for the elderly, most people considered themselves to be Qing people. Therefore, even if Jing State regained Xiangzhou, it would be difficult to gain the recognition of Xiangzhou people in a short period of time.

Starting from the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, shops across the human race resumed operations and the holidays gradually ended.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar year, which was the Lantern Festival, there were sudden incidents of smashing and looting of Qingguo businesses in various parts of Xiangzhou. A large number of Xiangzhou people shouted to defend Jingguo and not allow any Qingguo business to operate in Xiangzhou.
