Fang Yun's convoy and private soldiers changed direction and drove towards Yueyang Tower.
The convoys of Lord Qing and Lord Gu stopped at Sanliting, and officials from both countries gathered together to discuss countermeasures. During the discussion, some officials almost got into a quarrel due to their different opinions. If this place was not special, they would have treated it as a court and engaged in a heated debate.
The Qing Kingdom and the Gu Kingdom were not always harmonious, and each had its own factions.
Nie Changju fell into a coma, Qingjun was humiliated, Fang Yun left, and the show was over. Many people dispersed one after another, some went to the Yueyang Tower to wait for the literary meeting to be held, and some went to Baling City to eat, drink, and have fun to learn about the local customs and practices.
However, tens of thousands of people were still standing outside East City.
The officials from Qing and Gu discussed for half an hour before they reached a consensus. The two Qing kings got on the car, and the motorcade did not go to the original Qing palace arranged by Jing for the two kings, but headed directly to Yueyang Tower.
Qingjun sat in the carriage, feeling the vibration of the carriage. He sighed softly and frowned.
This time, Qing Jun is very sure of winning and damaging Fang Yun's reputation. Then Liu Shan will work together from inside and outside to impeach Fang Yun, so that Fang Yun will no longer serve as the governor of the two states and be forced to go north to fight against the Cao Man.
Even the important officials of Qing State have repeatedly deduced the specific process of forcing Fang Yun to go north. As long as Fang Yun resigns from the position of governor of the two states, they are 100% sure to force Fang Yun to go north to fight against the monsters.
Qing Jun did not expect that he would fail in his first attempt and not only become a laughing stock of the world, but also be branded as a third-rate monarch. This would be unbearable for any monarch, because a third-rate monarch is basically equivalent to a tyrant.
Qing Jun took a deep breath slowly and quickly threw all selfish thoughts out of his mind. Then, a cold smile appeared on his face. Now it was just the beginning. Losing to Fang Yun once would not affect the overall situation. There was still Zhang Longxiang behind him. After Zhang Longxiang, there was another real big shot who would be enough to make Fang Yun pay the price.
Suddenly, shouts came from both sides of the street: "The emperor who has accumulated virtues, the king who has exterminated traitors, the king who is benevolent and righteous, and the king who is unparalleled in wisdom and courage!"
Then, thousands of people followed suit and shouted in unison: "The emperor who has accumulated virtues, the king who has exterminated traitors, the king who is benevolent and righteous, and the king who is unparalleled in wisdom and courage!"
Qingjun originally thought that he had eliminated the previous influence, but when he heard the shouting, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted because he couldn't catch his breath.
The officials of the State of Qing and the State of Xiangzhou who followed behind the Lord of Qing were so angry that they were puffing their beards and glaring. These people of the State of Jing were simply too cruel. No monarch should be treated like this, but they didn't say any dirty words and on the surface they were praising him. Even if they wanted to make trouble for them, they had no excuse.
There are many restaurants with pavilions near Dongcheng, and many people are drinking tea and wine. When the shouting of thousands of people came out, those who were drinking tea spit out tea, and those who were drinking wine spit out wine. I don't know how many people were made to laugh and cry. If such a thing was recorded in the official history by some evil-minded historian, Qingjun would become a laughing stock for thousands of years.
Many people have even begun to discuss that in the chronicles of other monarchs, it is recorded when and where they did what great deeds, but after King Qing, the most recorded thing in history books is that he was humiliated once and twice by Fang Xusheng in a certain year and month, and then he was humiliated by the people of Jing State who shouted slogans.
"Fang Yun!" Qing Jun suddenly pushed the drinks on the table to the ground, gritted his teeth and whispered Fang Yun's name, with a murderous look in his eyes.
Fang Yun's carriage drove towards Yueyang Tower at a leisurely pace. As there were too many people in Baling City and the convoy was driving in the city, the speed was almost the same as that of pedestrians walking. It took a long time to get from the East Gate to the East Gate where Yueyang Tower was located.
In the carriage, Fang Yun kept thinking, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, but a sly smile appeared on his face that he hadn't seen in many years.
"Qingjun, Qingjun, you bumped into me on your own, don't blame me..."
A quarter of an hour later, the discussion board and Baling City suddenly became lively because Zhang Longxiang appeared on the discussion board and said that he had arrived at the shore of Dongting Lake.
Among all the restaurants in Baling City, the busiest one is "Wenyouju".
This restaurant was originally very ordinary and was still unknown last month. It was called "Yingke Restaurant". However, because it was close to Yingfang Pavilion, it suddenly became popular. Many scholars gathered here to discuss Hua Qingniang's visit to Qingjun.
Originally, this restaurant would have remained ordinary until Fang Yun made a secret visit and appeared in the restaurant, saying "Who is our friend and who is our enemy? This is the primary question", which triggered the Voice of the Holy Way.
On that day, Fang Yun's triggering of the Sound of Holy Way was a bad thing for the restaurant owner, because the appearance of the Sound of Holy Way caused all the guests in the restaurant to run away and go straight to Yueyang Tower. Many people did not even pay, leaving the restaurant owner in tears.
But the next day, a student named Zhang Zongshi went to the restaurant and gave instructions to the owner.
The restaurant owner recognized Zhang Zongshi, who had discussed with Fang Yun at the same table before. He accepted the suggestion sincerely, immediately changed the name of the restaurant to "Wenyouju", and paid a high price to ask a second-level calligrapher in Baling City to write a couplet "Who is our friend, who is our enemy, this is the primary question" and hung it in the middle of the restaurant. He burned incense and offered sacrifices, and then publicized that this voice of the holy way was born here, and even hinted that Fang Yun might come here again in disguise in the future.
Fang Yun's literary reputation was so great, and with the people constantly sanctifying him, Wenyouju immediately became the most popular restaurant in Baling City. With the guidance of Zhang Zongshi, the owner mortgaged and borrowed money to buy two adjacent shops, expanding the size of the restaurant threefold. Even so, the restaurant was often full in the evening, especially around the Mid-Autumn Festival, when many scholars would rather stand outside Wenyouju and talk rather than go to other restaurants to drink.
However, what attracted the scholars in Baling City the most was that the restaurant owner promised to publicly exhibit the "Xu Sheng Blood Poetry Wall" collected by Zhang Zongshi every few months.
The owner of the restaurant often praised Zhang Zongshi for his good luck in front of the guests, as he had the chance to see Fang Xusheng punishing a villain, and had witnessed Fang Yun dip the villain's blood in the wall to write a poem "Spring Dawn". Afterwards, Zhang Zongshi was decisive and actually chipped off the entire wall with "Spring Dawn" written on it to keep it.
Now, Zhang Zongshi has been visited by collectors from all over the human race. The highest price offered is one million taels of silver or an imperial treasure, but Zhang Zongshi still refuses to sell.
Attracted by the "Source of the Sound of the Holy Way" and the "Void Holy Blood Poetry Wall", Wenyouju has become the undisputed number one restaurant in Baling City.
At today's literary gathering, the restaurant owner seized the opportunity and invited Zhang Zongshi and Xu Sheng Blood Poetry Wall. A large number of people from the ten countries poured into the restaurant to chat and discuss everything. There were no tables, so many people just stood.
The restaurant owner was also a smart man. Not only did he not drive people away, but he simply provided tea for free, which won unanimous praise from the scholars. Some scholars even decided to write an article for Wenyouju after returning home.
When Zhang Longxiang announced his arrival on the discussion board, some guests left quickly, but a large number of guests did not leave. Because Dongting Lake was too big, no one knew where Zhang Longxiang was.
Zhang Zongshi sat by the wall of Xu Sheng's blood poems, drinking tea and water, and seldom participated in the discussion. Although he was not proud of his relationship with Fang Yun, in the eyes of other scholars, his status was different after all, so he could only try to remain silent.
