The Za family actually started to take action against Jingguo, which was something no one could have expected.
The reason why Gongdian punished Qingguo before was because Qingguo's behavior affected the development of Gongdian, and it was Qingguo that forced Gongdian to do so. Even so, Gongdian only withdrew its own aid to Qingguo and did not punish Qingguo's workers.
However, the practices of Wenxinyuan were thousands of times more radical than those of Gongdian, and even more serious than those of Lidian.
In any case, the Li Hall still carried out the investigation step by step. It did not necessarily want to break with the Jing Kingdom. It just wanted to punish Fang Yun and others, just to fight against the Criminal Hall and the Legalists.
If the Academy of Literature and Information really expels the officials of Jing State, it will mean a complete break with Jing State.
Marquis Wenxin was the title of Lu Buwei at that time.
When the officials of Jing State heard the news, they were all panicked and immediately wrote letters to the emperor, requesting to hold a grand court meeting.
Just two hours later, the Queen Mother announced that a grand court meeting would be held at 7 p.m. and asked all officials of the seventh rank or above to arrive near the holy temple as soon as possible.
Officials from all over the country returned one after another, especially the generals who were away, and rushed to the nearby holy temple without stopping.
When the time came, a melodious and pleasant bell rang over the palace.
Then all the civil and military officials entered the palace and the Fengtian Hall as if they were attending a morning court.
Afterwards, the monarch's jade seal emitted a faint white light, the entire capital city shook slightly, and the holy temples across Jingguo seemed to be connected as one.
The interior of the Fengtian Hall was seen to be constantly expanding. At the same time, three-dimensional images of officials appeared in the Fengtian Hall one after another. They were exactly the same as real people, and it was impossible to tell the real from the fake with the naked eye.
Soon, most of the officials of the seventh rank and above of Jing State appeared in the Fengtian Hall.
Thousands of officials were present, but there was not a single noise in the Fengtian Hall.
The Fengtian Hall was a bit dull.
Among the officials present, there were more than 300 officials majoring in miscellaneous schools of thought and more than 1,000 officials minoring in miscellaneous schools of thought.
That's a huge number.
If the Kingdom of Qing expels these people from the Miscellaneous School, the more than 300 people who are practicing the School will only have their Palace of Literature collapsed and become ordinary people if they are lucky, but will die on the spot if they are unlucky.
As for those officials who studied miscellaneous subjects as a minor, their luck would at best lead to a decline in their literary rank; their bad luck would even bring disaster to their literary talents, and their literary rank would never be able to improve throughout their lives.
Compared with the Water Palace’s ban on water to the Qing Kingdom, the punishment of expulsion from the Holy Path is more severe.
When the officials of Liushan's party were driven out, many experienced officials were transferred away, and Jingguo was stretched to the limit. If Fang Yun had not suppressed all conflicts with the momentum of a great victory, Jingguo would have been in big trouble.
Now, if these officials from various schools are expelled from the school, the State of Jing will be in deep crisis in the next few years. It will not be able to simply maintain the operation of local government offices, and all kinds of chaos will inevitably occur. Only after a few years when the new officials are familiar with the situation, will the country tend to be stable.
This is not the biggest problem. If so many officials are expelled from the Zajia, the national strength of Jing State will plummet and the national fortune will inevitably be sluggish. If a crisis breaks out during this period, Jing State will not be able to bear it.
Simply expelling officials from the Zajia School is not scary in itself. What is scary is that if Jing State really has no Zajia School serving in government offices, then the Zajia School can implement the Holy Way Suppression and Seal on the entire Jing State.
The consequence of the sealing of the Holy Path is that any force that has anything to do with the Holy Path of Miscellaneous Schools will be unable to advance in Jing State.
If officials cannot understand government orders and the people cannot obey them, the operation of the country will become extremely sluggish, and even basic communication between officials will be difficult to ensure.
Many things sound incredible, but they will happen under the seal of the Holy Dao.
This is just the Holy Way Seal of a miscellaneous family. If it were a Holy Way Seal of an industrialist, the mechanism would rust inexplicably and the workers would make inexplicable operating errors, which is completely contrary to common sense.
In history, some small countries established in troubled times have been subjected to comprehensive suppression by the Holy Way because of their close contacts with the barbarians and even the use of some barbarians with barbarian blood.
The consequences of a comprehensive crackdown on the Holy Way are extremely serious.
All children cannot learn to read, all people speak in a slurred manner, unable to express their meaning clearly, all people are extremely prone to illness, and once they are sick, it is extremely difficult to treat. As long as the disease is slightly serious, they will inevitably die. Crops in all places have failed, and the climate is disordered, facing all kinds of severe weather. Many people have lost their sense of shame and do not understand the law. They often commit various forms of crimes in broad daylight...
In the areas under comprehensive suppression by the Holy Path, the human race is simply like monsters and barbarians.
Even if only the holy way of the miscellaneous families was suppressed, it would cause the court offices of Jing State to fall into a semi-paralyzed state.
All officials were pondering the seriousness of the suppression of the Eclectic School.
After several hundred breaths, the Queen Mother's voice came from behind the curtain.
"I have called a court meeting in response to the request of all my dear ministers. Why is no one speaking?"
After a long while, the Minister of Personnel Huang Zongyu sighed lightly, took a step forward, and walked out of the line of important officials.
There was an unwritten rule among the Ten Kingdoms that the Minister of Personnel would be someone who majored in miscellaneous schools of thought.
Huang Zongyu used to be the Minister of the Honglu Temple. He majored in miscellaneous schools of thought and minored in the school of diplomacy. He was originally in charge of diplomacy. After Liu Shan's downfall, he went straight to the Ministry of Personnel and became a senior official of the Ministry of Personnel.
"I, Huang Zongyu, would like to report this matter to the emperor, the queen mother, and all my colleagues. Please treat it with caution and do not take it lightly."
All officials could see Huang Zongyu's helplessness.
Everyone knows clearly who the miscellaneous group is targeting.
As long as Fang Yun compromises and admits his mistake, Zajia will definitely stop.
However, Huang Zongyu could not say directly that he was a eclectic scholar, but he was also a Jingguo scholar.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "I already know that the people from the Miscellaneous Family have already set out one after another. However, unlike the Criminal Court, they are coming by water. It will take about ten days for the first batch of officials to arrive in Xiangzhou. Within ten days, we need to discuss a charter."
Without the Queen Mother pointing it out, everyone knew that the reason why the Za family did not immediately send people to Jing State was not to save talent or because the flying boat could not be used, but to give Jing State a buffer period to let Jing State put forward conditions and then everyone could sit down to negotiate.
After a brief silence, the Minister of Rites Sheng Boyuan stepped forward and said, "In my humble opinion, we must first analyze the intention of the Zajia's behavior this time. Although I am not talented, I would like to throw out some ideas to inspire others."
"Please speak, Lord Sheng," said the Queen Mother.
"First, the Zong family currently holds the leading position over the Miscellaneous families, and the Zong family is in Qing. Therefore, the first priority of the Wenxin Academy and the Miscellaneous families is to relieve Qing. Qing was banned from water by the Water Palace and blocked by the Work Palace, which caused great losses to Qing. Therefore, the Miscellaneous families must give top priority to this matter."
"The second one is the Dingfu Treaty. The treaty is very complicated and almost caused Qing to lose its sovereignty and humiliate its country. Therefore, our family must want to revise the treaty. I guess these two points are our family's bottom line. If these two things cannot be negotiated, the rest will be difficult to discuss."
