One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Everyone in the entire holy academy seemed to be under the silence of a semi-saint, unable to utter a word.
Everyone thought that the West Sea Dragon Saint was cruel enough as he actually listed Fang Yun as an enemy of the West Sea Dragon Palace. However, the East Sea Dragon Palace was even more brutal as they actually severed ties with the descendants of Thunder Ancestor and wanted to thoroughly investigate the Lei family.
Many scholars looked at Lei Tingzhen and other members of the Lei family in surprise, and they all showed suspicion, wondering what had happened between the Lei family and the Dragon Clan.
Lei Tingzhen and the Lei family were stunned, and several young people in the Lei family were even scared silly.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible"
Since its establishment, the Lei family has regarded itself as the benefactor of the dragon clan. Because they respect the dragon clan very much, they have long had the idea of being on an equal footing with the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas. But now that the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea has announced that it will cut off ties with the Lei family, this news is like a bolt from the blue.
Once all dragons cut off ties with the Lei family, everything that happened before might no longer exist. Without the support of the dragons, the Lei family would be just an ordinary wealthy family and would decline in less than a hundred years.
Gao Mo nodded, looked at Zong Ganyu, and asked: "Since the Dragon Saint of the East China Sea has the decree, according to what you said before, can the Holy Court deny that the Lei family is a sinner?"
"There is a contradiction between the decrees of the two saints in this matter. We need to think about it carefully, carefully!" Zong Ganyu could no longer remain calm. This kind of thing had never happened in the history of the human race.
Lei Tingzhen's eyes were a little dazed. He thought that with the decree of the West Sea Dragon Saint, he could join forces with the clan to launch revenge. Even if Fang Yun didn't die, he would be skinned alive. Who knew that before Fang Yun could show up, Gao Mo stopped him first, and then the East Sea Dragon Saint issued an edict, which completely disrupted the previous plan.
Gao Mo turned and left, saying as he walked: "Lei Chongmo's death is confusing. We can only investigate after the various halls of the Holy Academy reach a consensus. In addition, the re-election of the four great talents is about to begin. Although I do not have the right to select, I have the right to recommend. I recommend Fang Yun Fang Xusheng!"
"Even if I die, I will not let the murderer of Lei Chongmo become the leader of the four great talents!" Lei Chongmo said angrily.
The voice of Zhang Cangxiang, the elder of the Medical Hall, suddenly sounded: "Then you, the Lei family, should send more people to find the next person who owes me a favor as soon as possible."
Everyone in the Holy Academy Square burst into laughter. The affairs of Zeying Academy had long spread throughout the Holy Academy, and the despicable methods of the Lei family were known to everyone.
"If you choose Fang Xusheng as the leader of the four great talents, I have no objection." A great scholar said and left.
Everyone looked and found that this great scholar was one of the nine great scholars of the Selection Academy. He had originally opposed Lei Chongmo being selected as the first of the four great talents, but suddenly agreed a year ago. Apparently, he changed his mind because of the pressure from the Zong and Lei families. Now that the great scholar said it in public, he had already made his intentions clear and cut off the Zong and Lei families' thoughts of winning over or suppressing him.
"This is called stealing a chicken and losing the rice! This is called karma! If the Lei family did not use these despicable means, these things would not have happened later." Liu Bailuo sneered.
Everyone in the Lei family was furious. Although Liu Bailuo did not say it explicitly, everyone knew that he was saying that if the Lei family had not been so despicable, Lei Chongmo might not have died. But Liu Bailuo did not say it explicitly, and the Lei family had no way to sue Liu Bailuo for violating etiquette.
"Let's go. There's nothing to see anymore. Let's wait for the next selection of the Four Great Talents." An old Hanlin smiled, shook his head, and turned to leave.
"Why do I feel that this re-election of the Four Talents will take longer than before?"
"I think the Zong and Lei families will not give up until they drag it out for more than ten years, until Fang Xusheng becomes a great scholar."
"Unfortunately, although Fang Xusheng doesn't care about these empty names, once he becomes one of the Four Great Talents, the Saint Academy will reward him with an opportunity to read the Semi-Saint True Text during his time as a Grand Scholar. At that time, he will be protected by the power of the Saint Academy. This opportunity is too precious, and it is also the key to the four great talents of all generations being able to be promoted to Great Scholars. Even Fang Xusheng cannot read the Semi-Saint True Text before he becomes a Great Scholar, because he is not a Great Scholar, nor a descendant of the Saints, and cannot withstand the powerful Semi-Saint will in the Semi-Saint True Text."
"That's true. Although Fang Xusheng will definitely become a great scholar, if he doesn't read the semi-saintly texts during his time as a university scholar, he will probably waste a long time as a great scholar, and even his talent will be lost in the dust."
"It is precisely because the opportunity for the Grand Scholar to read the semi-saintly text is so precious that many children of the saintly families deliberately give up being selected as the four great talents to give those children of non-saintly families a chance."
"Previously, several great scholars in the Selection Academy deliberately disagreed with Lei Chongmo being the leader of the Four Great Talents. They also wanted to hold Lei Chongmo back until he lost the opportunity to be promoted to a great scholar."
"well"
Many readers shook their heads and sighed.
Lei Tingzhen stood there, his expression changing from gloomy to bright, while Zong Ganyu fell into deep thought.
After most of the scholars in the square had left, Zong Ganyu suddenly sent a secret message to Lei Tingzhen.
"Tingzhen, we have been trying to force Fang Yun to compete with Zhang Longxiang in literature. We have considered various methods before, and all of them have their inappropriate aspects. But the re-election of the four great talents this time may be a blessing in disguise." Zong Ganyu said.
"Oh? Brother, do you have any advice for me?" Lei Tingzhen immediately adjusted his mood.
"Fang Yun must be among the four great talents in this selection. Otherwise, if we force the Holy Judge to come, we will be defeated miserably."
"Indeed, unless the saints give an order, if Fang Yun cannot be selected as one of the four great talents, all the scholars in the world will surely surround the Saint Academy."
"So, since we can't stop Fang Yun, let's nominate Zhang Longxiang as one of the four great talents. At the same time, we support Zhang Longxiang as the leader of the four great talents!"
Lei Tingzhen was stunned, a hint of joy flashed across his face, and he immediately continued to secretly transmit the message: "A word awakens the dreamer! As long as the selection of the two people reaches a deadlock, we can let Zhang Longxiang publish a statement on the discussion list, requesting to compete with Fang Yun in writing to decide who will be the first of the four talents. Once Fang Yun disagrees, we can legitimately say that Fang Yun is afraid. Not only can we let Zhang Longxiang become the first of the four talents, but also suppress Fang Yun's literary reputation. If Fang Yun agrees to the literary competition, then we can use the means we have prepared for many days! Brother Zong is worthy of being the head of the family, and I am ashamed of myself."
"It's not that you haven't thought of this, you're just too immersed in grief. Moreover, this is only the first plan!" Zong Ganyu said with a smile.
"I'm all ears." Lei Tingzhen said hurriedly.
"Liu Shan has already contacted me. Fang Yun's going to Xiangzhou is a foregone conclusion. He is likely to serve as the governor of the two states and be stationed in Baling, the capital of Xiangzhou. We in Qing have been secretly instigating officials and scholars in Xiangzhou. As long as Fang Yun arrives in Xiangzhou, his literary reputation will be tarnished. Then, we will coordinate this matter to make Zhang Longxiang win the literary competition and take the top spot among the four great talents. His mind will inevitably be affected. On the day of the literary competition, let several people die in Xiangzhou, incite Xiangzhou scholars to besiege the governor's office, and then create a bloody incident where Fang Yun's private soldiers kill scholars. Fang Yun will definitely suffer a heavy blow!"
"Wonderful! Very wonderful!" Lei Tingzhen was even more delighted.
"However, I still have at least two more vicious plans to be used on the day of the literary competition! I must completely destroy Fang Yunwen's reputation!"
"Oh? What other evil plan do you have?"
"You will know the truth when the day comes!"
