After hearing Fang Yun's counterattack, a look of annoyance flashed across Qing Jun's face, but he quickly returned to normal. However, he felt a little regretful in his heart, and at the same time, he hated Fang Yun even more.
Before coming to Xiangzhou, Qing Jun had discussed with some Qing officials and decided not to target Fang Yun directly. Instead, he wanted Xiangzhou Qing officials and Qing officials to fight Fang Yun to avoid being attacked. After all, Fang Yun had dealt a heavy blow to Xiangzhou the last time he fought a literary battle, and the reputation of Qing scholars had also been affected. Instead, Fang Yun's literary reputation became even greater.
But now, Qing Jun got into trouble without saying a word. Although he clearly didn't want to leave, Fang Yun grabbed his collar and dragged him to the ring. It was impossible for him to stay out of it.
What made Qing Jun most angry was that Fang Yun’s identity was not ordinary now, and the occasion was also not ordinary. This matter would most likely be included in the official history, which would be a great stigma for a monarch.
Qing Jun pondered in his heart, should he continue to remain silent, or take the initiative to attack Fang Yun, or take the initiative to resolve the situation
"It is extremely inappropriate to take the initiative to resolve the situation. All the previous measures will be ineffective. If I speak out to fight back against Fang Yun, that would be good too. The key is... I can't beat him in an argument. Over the years, I have never heard of anyone who can beat him in scolding. Alas, it seems that continuing to remain silent is the best option."
After the people outside East City stopped talking for a few breaths, Qing Jun still didn't say a word.
Nie Changju took a step forward, then turned around and bent down to face Qing Jun, saying, "I apologize to you for having an unceremonious governor in Xiangzhou. After the literary gathering, I will definitely write a letter to impeach Governor Fang for neglecting the monarch of a friendly country, humiliating the state, and making the world laugh at him."
Suddenly, a voice as powerful as thunder rang out: "I am correcting a mistake of yours. The one who is laughed at by the world is not Fang Xusheng, but you, a dog official who was born in Xiangzhou, lived in Xiangzhou, served as an official in Jingguo, but was servile to Emperor Qing!"
A large number of scholars followed the reputation and went there.
"It's Wu Jun!"
"Lord Wu has arrived. Now we are going to have a good show."
"Two kings versus one virtual saint and one king, it will definitely be exciting."
"It's a pity that those family heads hid in the crowd and never showed up. Otherwise, it would have been a huge disaster and would have shocked the human race."
"Well said! The dog official Nie Changju, get out of Xiangzhou!" Li Fanming suddenly shouted like thunder.
Fang Yun's several friends from Shengxu were everywhere. When they heard Li Fanming's voice, Hua Yuqing, who was not far away, immediately followed and shouted.
"You dog official Nie Changju, get out of Xiangzhou!"
When the scholars in Jiangzhou heard this, they thought it was a good time to help Fang Yun, so they also shouted.
Outside the East City, most of the people were from Baling City and Xiangzhou. They originally liked Fang Yun and disliked Qing Jun, and when they heard the crowd saying this, they immediately started to shout as well.
"You dog official Nie Changju, get out of Xiangzhou!"
Afterwards, some unrelated people from other countries saw the commotion and started shouting to join in the fun.
"You dog official Nie Changju, get out of Xiangzhou!"
There are already millions of people in Baling City, and at least 500,000 people from all over Xiangzhou have come here for the Yueyang Tower Literary Festival. The number of people from all over the human race has exceeded one million.
Even though these people were distributed throughout Baling City, there were as many as 800,000 people outside East City.
When the number of people shouting and cursing exceeded 300,000, the sound was like a landslide or tsunami.
When the number of people cursing "Dog official Nie Changju, get out of Xiangzhou" exceeded 500,000, the expressions of all the officials of Qing changed slightly, and even the King of Qing and the officials of Qing State thought something was wrong.
A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Nie Changju's forehead as he thought of an extremely terrifying thing, and it was related to Fang Yun.
When Fang Yun was still a juren, in order to enter Shengxu, he once entered Kongcheng and participated in the Mid-Autumn Literary Festival. Later, he had a conflict with the evil king. As a result, hundreds of families gave gifts to Fang Yun, and thousands of people pointed fingers at the evil king.
Back then, Fang Yun was just an outsider in Kongcheng, and his literary reputation was just beginning. Now, Fang Yun has become a virtual saint, and is the governor-general of two states, the highest-ranking official in the entire Xiangzhou. The scolding and condemnation he received because of him is far more serious than the condemnation he received from thousands of people in Kongcheng. It is impossible that he is just a literary talent who has been tarnished!
Nie Changju panicked. Even a genius like Xiong Jun, who came from a semi-saint family, couldn't withstand it back then. There was no way he could withstand the criticism that was ten times more severe.
The hundreds of thousands of people shouting and cursing this time were not prepared in advance nor controlled manually. It was someone who started it and hundreds of thousands of people started shouting and cursing spontaneously.
Especially the local Xiangzhou people, they were full of hatred towards Nie Changju, and the ones who cursed him the most were the parents with children. They all pointed out that the imperial examination guide in the "Minbao" had made their children top the list, and they all hoped that Fang Yun could make their families' lives better. Nie Changju actually dared to impeach Fang Yun. How many families' hopes could be destroyed by this
Nie Changju hurriedly looked at Qingjun for help, but he was surprised to find that Qingjun actually lowered his head slightly and looked at the ground.
At this moment, Nie Changju's anger rushed from his chest to his head, almost exploding. He had worked so hard for Qing State, so what did it mean when Qing Jun bowed his head at such a critical moment? Was he admitting his mistake and saying that he would not help
After a moment, a trace of sadness flashed in Nie Changju's eyes. The power of being pointed at by thousands of people did not have direct killing power, but the terrible thing about this power was that if one's will was weak and could not resist it, the mind would be hurt, and it could only be resolved with more people's support or national destiny.
Among all the people present, only Lord Qing and Lord Gu can use their country's imperial seals to mobilize national destiny and resolve the public criticism, and only Fang Yun can use the people's hearts to resolve it.
This place is Xiangzhou, where the people of Jing are most loyal. If the two kings want to save Nie Changju, they will need to consume a hundred times the normal national fortune. It would be debatable to use such a large amount of national fortune to save the great Confucian scholar, and it is absolutely impossible to use it to save a mere Hanlin.
Nie Changju immediately looked towards Gu Jun, his eyes full of pleading, because he had heard that Gu Jun was quite kind-hearted and even a little cowardly, otherwise he would not have given up the confrontation with the Miscellaneous School and turned to cooperation and at the same time delegated power under the persuasion of hundreds of officials.
Gu Jun showed hesitation, but a Gu State Grand Secretary took several steps forward, standing between Gu Jun and Nie Changju, and looked at Nie Changju coldly.
Seeing this scene, Nie Changju realized that he could only bear the criticism from all the people alone this time.
Nie Changju looked at Qing Jun angrily, wanting to expose everything at this time, but he sadly found that not only could he not expose it, he couldn't even say a word to Qing Jun, otherwise, if it affected Qing Jun and Qingguo, his family would inevitably meet with misfortune. If he continued to be an enemy of Fang Yun and ended up in disgrace, even if his family was punished, it would be within the legal and reasonable range.
"That's all..."
Nie Changju sighed, turned around and looked at Fang Yun with sadness in his eyes, but he did not beg for mercy from Fang Yun.
If he begged for mercy, it would mean betraying Lord Qing and the officials of Qing, so Nie Changju hoped that Fang Yun would take the initiative to stop him, at least to avoid making a fool of himself on the spot.
However, Fang Yun turned his head to look at the calligraphy of Emperor Qingjun held up by the people of Qingjiang Trading Company, glanced at the four words "Duanmu Legacy", and finally his eyes fell on the four words "Jishan Emperor".
"A family that accumulates evil will surely suffer the consequences." Fang Yun murmured to himself.
The emperor who accumulates good deeds said, "A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have good fortune in the future." This is exactly the first half of the sentence that Fang Yun did not say.
People who constantly do good deeds will not only benefit themselves, but the benefits will even be so great that they will benefit their descendants. However, if a family does evil, not only will they be unlucky themselves, but their descendants will also be harmed.
