After Fang Yun received the letter from Jiang Hechuan, he flew out of the capital and never received any more letters until he arrived at the next city.
Fang Yun really wanted to go back and find out what was going on, but after thinking for a moment, he continued to fly towards Xiangzhou, but sat on Pingbu Qingyun with his eyes closed, and talent surged around him.
Go back in time and search for all the memories related to Li Wenying and Jiang Hechuan in the past.
Whether it was the discussion list or the conversation, all the content that Fang Yun had not paid special attention to before, surfaced in his memory.
Fang Yun reads ten lines at a glance and never misses anything when reading. However, this is not always the case when browsing discussion boards. He often ignores some discussions for the sake of content that he is particularly interested in. This is even more true at literary gatherings, as it is impossible for him to remember every conversation of everyone.
However, as long as it happened within the range of sight and hearing, Fang Yun could find it again even if he had not remembered it before.
After half an hour, Fang Yun opened his eyes and found some information related to Li Wenying and Yi Zhishi.
There were two replies on the discussion list and three at the literary gathering. To Fang Yun at that time, it was like a passing glance and he did not pay much attention to it. But now it was like that day again, and he recalled all the information.
However, there are currently two theories.
One theory is that in order to suppress the Kingdom of Jing, the Kingdom of Wu used some means to forcibly exclude Li Wenying, the only possible candidate from the Kingdom of Jing, when selecting the Four Talents. Because the selection of the Four Talents was conducted by a group of people, some of the selectors contacted Yi Zhishi, who was definitely the first of the Four Talents, and wanted to ask about Yi Zhishi's attitude, after all, Yi Zhishi was already at the peak of his career at that time.
As a result, Yi Zhishi remained silent, and Li Wenying was not selected as one of the four great talents. Moreover, it is said that the Qing Kingdom also intervened.
The second theory is that Yi Zhishi once criticized Li Wenying privately, saying that he did not study the classics, did not value writing, and was too focused on killing. When this matter reached the ears of the judges, Li Wenying was not included in the four great talents.
Fang Yun thought about Jiang Hechuan's words again. It was obvious that Jiang Hechuan was not aware of the inside story of the year, and he didn't want to say anything harsh to slander Yi Zhishi. But he cared about his safety and was afraid that he would be ambushed by Yi Zhishi in the Holy Burial Valley, so he said such words.
If this matter were to be spread, it would be a small stain on Jiang Hechuan.
Fang Yun thought about it and felt that the story of Yi Zhishi criticizing Li Wenying in private was completely false. At that time, Yi Zhishi's cultivation was comparable to that of a great scholar, and he would definitely not criticize Li Wenying. After all, Li Wenying only killed monsters and not humans.
However, when it comes to Wu and Qing joining forces to suppress Jing, it is highly credible. The Zong family and Liushan have been planning for many years, and it is inevitable to contain Jing and Li Wenying. The previous monarch of Wu was also extraordinary and he would definitely do such a thing for the interests of his own country.
As for Yi Zhishi's attitude, it is difficult to judge.
Fang Yun thought about it for a long time and could not make up his mind about Yi Zhishi, but he was more inclined to believe that Yi Zhishi knew about this but chose to stand by and watch.
Fang Yun did not judge whether Yi Zhishi's choice back then was right or wrong, but one thing is certain, if Yi Zhishi, as a literary giant, does such a thing now, it is indeed wrong.
After getting closer to the Yangtze River, Fang Yun's rapid rise in status became faster and faster. After being a hundred miles away from the Yangtze River, Fang Yun's speed of rise in status was twice as fast as usual!
The Yangtze River Basin is Fang Yun's world. Fang Yun can drive the rivers to do anything with a single thought.
In the Yangtze River Basin, all of Fang Yun’s abilities will be enhanced, at least doubled!
If Fang Yun used water-related war poems in the Yangtze River Basin, his power would directly increase by one level!
This was also the reason why Jiao Sheng dared to suppress Fang Yun at that time. If the head of the Kong family had not gone north from Kongcheng, the forces left by Li Daoyuan might not be a match for Jiao Sheng.
Arriving in the Yangtze River Basin, Fang Yun's mind became active. Even though he was almost at the Governor's Mansion, he did not waste time. He immediately multiplied his attention and studied, and the effect was several times better than usual, which was gratifying.
After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Fang Yun first reminisced with Yang Yuhuan and her family, ignoring any political affairs, just chatting. However, during the chat, Fang Yun notified all officials of the eighth rank or above in Xiangzhou to go to the Academy of Literature tomorrow. Afterwards, Xiangzhou Governor Dong Wencong, in his capacity as governor, invited all scholars of the Juren or higher rank in Xiangzhou to hold a literary gathering related to Fang Yun, which was actually to consolidate Fang Yun's position.
Afterwards, Su Xiaoxiao left with Nunu in her arms as usual.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Fang Yun left the back house of the Governor's Mansion refreshed and headed for the Academy of Literature.
Officials from all over Xiangzhou have gathered in the Xiangzhou Academy of Literature. Officials from the farthest places even rode their dragon horses all night long and have not slept yet.
When Fang Yun slowly entered from the gate of the Academy of Literature, all the officials' faces were filled with anticipation.
From now on, no matter what faction the officials in the academy originally belonged to, they would at least be considered half members of the Ning'an Party.
As a member of the bureaucracy, everyone knew the purpose of Fang Yun's summons of all the officials in Xiangzhou. Indeed, some officials did not arrive, some were sick, or were on their way slowly.
But now, as long as I am here, I must be clear about what choice I have made.
"Greetings, Governor!"
Everyone bowed and greeted him with great respect.
Fang Yun walked inside and said with a smile: "You are too polite. I am no longer an official and no longer the governor of the three states. The main reason for my visit is to hand over government affairs, of course, including the future planning of the target states."
After hearing the last sentence, everyone felt relieved. Fang Yun did not let them down. Although he had resigned, he had no intention of disbanding his party.
Dong Wencong and others smiled. To some extent, Fang Yun did not want to get out of this unscathed, but he could not. For the sake of these people, he could not just stand by and watch, as that would inevitably lead to him being deserted by his friends and relatives.
No one is alone in this world.
Fang Yun walked to his seat and sat down slowly.
Everyone stood and no one sat down immediately.
The autumn sunshine shines on the Baling City Academy of Literature, adding a touch of warmth to the cold morning.
Fang Yun smiled faintly and glanced at everyone.
"From now on, anyone named by this king will leave the Academy."
Many people shuddered suddenly, feeling cold all over, realizing that Fang Yun had other intentions in summoning all the officials this time.
Afterwards, Fang Yun began to call out names one by one. The people whose names were called had different expressions.
Some looked regretful, some were terrified, some sighed softly, and some smiled, and so on.
Everyone left the academy obediently without any resistance.
The remaining people vaguely understood that these people were either weak-willed, or had ulterior motives, or were just here to watch and did not truly want to join the Ning'an Party.
After the last official left, all the remaining officials looked at Fang Yun in awe.
This kind of power is far beyond that of ordinary Confucian scholars. Perhaps only Yi Zhishi, below the level of semi-saint, has the ability to see into people's hearts like this.
