"Yes, what Fang Xusheng said makes sense. Before discussing this matter, we need to consider a more important issue, that is, whether we have the ability to protect the human race in Hancheng after Hanjun Emperor Guan leaves." Grand Secretary Kong Yingwei said.
Although Zisi's family did not belong to the Kong family in name, they were actually still regarded as members of the Kong family. Kong Yingwei's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Fang Yun looked at Kong Yingwei, their eyes met and they nodded slightly.
When Fang Yun saw the people from the Zisi family beside Kong Yingwei, he remembered the division of the Kong family.
Confucius' son was named Kong Li, and Kong Li's son was the famous Zisi.
Kong Li was the only son of Confucius, but Confucius was busy pursuing his own ambitions and traveling around the countries, so he neglected to discipline him. In addition, Kong Li had mediocre talent, which led to a mediocre life. He did not leave any classics, but did leave two sentences.
Kong Li once said to Confucius, "Your son is not as good as my son", and he also said to Zisi, "Your father is not as good as my father", which became an interesting story in Shengyuan Continent.
When he was fifty years old, Kong Li almost died, but was later brought back to life by Confucius. It seemed that he did not want to have only one son, so he gave birth to several children. By that time, Zisi had already become a great Confucian scholar and would have been the third generation head of the Kong family.
However, Zisi was obsessed with the holy way and he secluded himself for a period of time to practice. His whereabouts were unknown. Before his death, Kong Li had to appoint his young second son as the third head of the family.
Zisi was successful in his path to sainthood. When he returned home in preparation for canonization, he learned that Kong Li had passed away and his younger brother had taken over as the head of the family. Zisi did not want to be the head of the family in the first place, so he did not fight for the position and acquiesced to his younger brothers' descendants to inherit the position.
Zisi did not care, but his children and grandchildren were dissatisfied. After all, Confucius had already been canonized as a saint and had a high status. All nations came to pay tribute to him. The status of the head of the Kong family was far more noble than that of any prince or even the Zhou emperor.
Therefore, after Zisi was canonized as a saint and went into seclusion, the Kong family nominally split up. At that time, there was no such thing as the Family of Confucius or the Family of the Second Sage.
Later, more and more people became saints, and there were more and more aristocratic families. There was even the Holy Academy, the highest institution of the human race. In order to consolidate the status of the descendants of Confucius, the Kong family and the Zisi family were nominally two families, but in fact they were one. They lived in Kongcheng at the same time and participated in activities like ancestor worship together.
Since it is nominally a split family, people from the Zisi family will get some extra benefits. For example, people from the Zisi family can enter the ancient land of Confucius like ordinary members of the Kong family, but people from the Kong family generally seldom enter the ancient land of Shihan.
Many people still assume that Zisi's family is the family of Confucius, so even if the Yan family is in charge of the Ninth Cold City, they will still treat them with courtesy. Although Zisi is Yan Zi's descendant, his grandfather is Yan Zi's teacher.
When Kong Yingwei mentioned Han Jun's imperial crown, Fang Yun saw a subtle change in Han Jun's eyes.
Without the imperial crown, Han Jun's life span would be shortened, but Fang Yun sighed in his heart that Han Jun's throne was the real treasure. Unfortunately, these people would not be able to stimulate the true power of the longevity jade.
"Ying Wei is right. The secret of the Ice Ancestor is indeed important, but the foundation of our human race in the Ten Cold Ancient Land is more important. If our human race is forced to leave the Ten Cold Ancient Land, even if we obtain the treasures left by the Ice Ancestor, we will still suffer huge losses. Once the demon world finds the star road leading to the Ten Cold Ancient Land, it can use it as a springboard to continuously attack the human world, open up the Sixth Demon Mountain, and even make the Two Realms Mountain insignificant."
"It's a pity that Xing Yao Man would not tell us the secret of Bing Zu first, otherwise we would be able to weigh what to do."
"Yes, the human race is the most important, followed by the secrets of the Ice Ancestor, and then the Star Monsters."
After everyone discussed for a while, Fang Yun suddenly asked, "What if the secret of the Ice Ancestor this time can determine whether we stay in the Ten Cold Ancient Land?"
Everyone was stunned, and a few of them showed shame on their faces, because Fang Yun's words were just a guess. However, with a little deduction, they could guess that Fang Yun said so because he was worried that the monsters or the Ice Clan would obtain the power of the Ice Ancestor and drive the human race away from here.
"What Fang Xusheng said is not only reasonable, but also very likely to come true. Recently, I have been suspecting that the reason why the Blood Demon Barbarian dared to attack the Star Demon Barbarian is because he had the secret support of the Ice Clan." Meng Jingye said.
"Oh, it's hard to choose."
Everyone pondered, but no one could make a decision.
Fang Yun continued, "Putting aside my identity as the Moon Emperor, I think that it is a good strategy to unite the Star Demon Barbarians to fight against the Blood Demon Barbarians. After all, the Blood Demon Barbarians have always been our enemies. Whether in Liangjie Mountain, in the Ancient Land of the Wasteland City, or in other places, fighting against the Blood Demon Barbarians is the primary mission of our human race. The Blood Demon Barbarians in the Ancient Land of Shihan are powerful, and we may not be able to fight them, but now there is a ready-made way to stop them, why are you avoiding it?"
Meng Jingye smiled and said, "You said before that we should take the long view, why do you now put forward a completely opposite view?"
"Because I find that you are all too conservative, so much so that I have the idea that the Blood Demon Barbarian thinks the same way. If we always want to avoid danger, we will often face greater danger." Fang Yun said.
Zeng Yue said: "It's not that we are too conservative, but now the Ten Cold Ancient Land is extremely chaotic. Not only are the cities fighting for the Lord of Cold, but the environment of the Ten Cold Ancient Land has also changed greatly. At this time, in order to prevent mistakes, we must remain unchanged in the face of changes. Our goal is the Lord of Cold, not the secret of the Ice Ancestor, but the problem is that if we can't obtain the secret of the Ice Ancestor now, we may not be able to fight for the Lord of Cold."
The side hall fell into silence.
A senior scholar from the Xun family said, "The Zong family is also in the city. For such an important matter, why don't you invite the Zong family members to discuss it as well?"
Some people looked at the Grand Secretary of the Zong family with strange eyes.
Without Fang Yun saying anything, Yan Ningxiao said, "Xiao Yetian represented the clan and said before that he was firmly opposed to rescuing the Star Demon Barbarians. Since they have made their position clear, Fang Xusheng and I did not look for them."
The Grand Secretary of the Xun family nodded and said nothing more.
Fang Yun said: "Since no one is talking, I will throw out some ideas. In fact, we are too concerned about the 'Ice Ancestor's Secret' and the 'Safety of the Human Race'. Let's look at the problem from a different angle and change the topic. I will set the topic this time as 'Should we stop the Blood Demon Barbarians in the Ten Cold Ancient Land'. Those who agree to stop it, please tap the armrest of the chair with your fingers to indicate."
As soon as Fang Yun finished speaking, many people tapped the armrests with their index fingers, and then the others followed suit, and even Han Jun tapped the throne lightly.
Including Fang Yun and Han Jun, there were a total of twenty-four people present, and twenty-one of them were striking.
Meng Jingye looked at Fang Yun with a smile on his face, and felt that although Fang Yun had become a virtual saint in the past few years, he was just a name without the strength and demeanor of a leader. In the ancient land of Xuemang, Meng Jingye explored the Sin Palace with Fang Yun and found that Fang Yun had begun to show leadership qualities.
