Fang Yun's powerful voice echoed over the hall.
The ministers were scolded into silence.
Every official understood that what Fang Yun said was absolutely correct.
During the founding period, the civil and military officials of Jing State were very capable. Although they had no resource advantages, no population advantages, and no literary advantages, they eventually established Jing State with their outstanding personal talents and strong organizational capabilities.
The officials of Jing State at that time were definitely the best people in Shengyuan Continent and even in the myriad worlds.
The current officials of Jing State have lost their enterprising spirit and their belief in serving the country and the people.
If there were no Fang Yun, the entire Jing Kingdom would indeed be led by the people, the civil and military officials, and only a few officials would be able to make progress together with the people.
However, even in his rage, Fang Yun did not say the words he least wanted to say.
Smash this corrupt bureaucracy with your own hands.
Because this is just talk in anger. Unless you are facing a catastrophic disaster, you cannot do such a thing.
Sheng Boyuan sighed and said, "Fang Xusheng, what you said makes sense, but now if the Miscellaneous School uses the Holy Dao Seal, within three days at most, the officials of the Miscellaneous School who are still serving in Jing State will be severely injured or even die one after another, and the other Miscellaneous School scholars in Jing State will also fall from their literary positions. Facing such a disaster, what else can we do except admit our mistakes and negotiate?"
The anger on Fang Yun's face slowly faded, but the sarcasm remained.
"When have I ever obstructed peace talks? I know one thing very well. If Qing and Zajia were law-abiding and righteous, I would have personally gone to negotiate. However, you have all overlooked one point. Zajia is a manipulator of power, and Qing has never relied on benevolence and righteousness to rise to power. If you want to negotiate, will they really compromise? Absolutely not! Their goal is not to negotiate, but to fight back! To interrupt the development of Jing, to stop Jing's reform, and to cut off Jing's hope are the real goals of Zajia and Qing! Originally, I just thought you were cowardly, but now I realize that you are also stupid and incompetent!"
Sheng Boyuan said helplessly: "We all understand what you said, but the situation is urgent and difficult now. We really can't fight against the Zajia family."
"The situation is urgent, is it comparable to the three days and three nights when Taizu was besieged? Is the situation difficult, is it comparable to the years of failure in Jing State? Let me put it here, the backward holy way of the Miscellaneous School can still operate normally even if Jing State does not have it, and it may even be better! If we admit our mistakes this time, we will never be able to turn things around! Therefore, I can say in front of all the civil and military officials and even the possible spies of Jing State that what we have to do in this peace talk is to drag it out! If we bow our heads, we will lose, and if we fight, we may lose. So, I would rather raise my head and choose to fight! What's more, the worst price of the whole thing is that both sides will suffer losses!"
"The Kingdom of Jing now has finally got hope of revival and cannot afford the cost of a mutual loss." Sheng Boyuan expressed the thoughts of everyone.
"Then why do you think Qing Kingdom can afford the cost of mutual destruction?" Fang Yun asked back.
Yang Xuwen said with difficulty: "Fang Xusheng, the officials of Qing Kingdom are actually the same as us. They don't want a real conflict, but just want to recover some losses. However, there are some fanatical people in the Miscellaneous Family who will try every means to disrupt and destroy Jing Kingdom. So, this time we can only endure it."
"I can tolerate it, and Jingguo can tolerate it, but we can't tolerate it the way you do. Your tolerance is essentially surrender. What's more, Qingguo can let us tolerate it, but Zajia won't. Because, from the beginning to the end, Zajia has regarded this matter as a dispute over the Holy Way! You are actually well aware of this! But you are cowardly, you are afraid, you would rather be a turtle than dare to fight, so you choose to betray me, betray the interests of the people, and betray the interests of the country, even if there is a flood after your death!"
"But we have no other way to go!" Sheng Boyuan persuaded earnestly.
"My Duoyuan was not renamed for nothing."
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he drove the Wuhou carriage and left the hall again before retiring from court.
Heaven will use the Master as a wooden bell.
After a few breaths, Sheng Boyuan said angrily: "Fang Xusheng, you can't just walk away! This matter has not been resolved yet, how can we face Qing Kingdom, how can we face the Za family?"
The officials looked at Fang Yun's back and anger rose in their hearts. In their opinion, Fang Yun had abandoned them.
An official from the Miscellaneous School said angrily, "Fang Xusheng, if you admit your mistakes, no matter what happens, we will live and die with the Kingdom of Jing! However, if you disregard the interests of the country for your own selfish interests, then the day you seal the city of Shengdao will be the day I betray the Kingdom of Jing!"
“The day when the Holy Dao Town Seal is no longer needed, I will resign from my post today and find a way to become a naturalized citizen of Kongcheng to avoid the Holy Dao Town Seal!” An official threw his hat on the ground and turned away.
"I'll go to Wu Country. Wu Country has more hope now!"
"I choose Qiguo..."
One after another, the miscellaneous officials threw away their official hats and left the Fengtian Hall.
The Jing Kingdom Palace is in turmoil.
At this time, Fang Yun had already left the palace gate. Sheng Boyuan shouted in the direction where Fang Yun left: "Is this what you want to see?"
Zhang Poyue sneered and said, "This kind of court meeting to discuss how to surrender gracefully is meaningless. In short, as long as my family dares to attack the Holy Dao, I will unite all my colleagues to attack Qing. If the court disagrees, I will resign from my post and build my own militia. I would rather die standing on the enemy's land than live on my own land! I have killed countless monsters and barbarians, and I didn't beg for mercy when I was beaten to pieces by monsters. Why would I be afraid of those useless bastards from my family and Qing!"
After Zhang Poyue finished speaking, he took a big step forward. The clanging sound of his armor was louder than the sound of his jewelry.
Many generals followed Zhang Poyue.
What no one expected was that on the second day, Jing State welcomed a wave of resignations.
Among them, the majority were officials from the Miscellaneous School, followed by Confucian officials. There were also some officials from the Legalist School, the Industrial School or the Agricultural School who saw no hope and resigned. Among them, a few did not leave Jingguo, but sent letters to the Holy Academy or Fang Yun, wanting to go to the Xuemang Realm to display their expertise.
All the bandits in the court were terrified, but not a single military strategist left.
Under Zhang Poyue's lobbying, military generals from all over Jing State began to prepare for war and started exercises within the scope of their authority.
However, something even more unexpected happened. The Cao Man unexpectedly raided Shuofang City, the northernmost city of Jing State. Fortunately, the Holy Academy discovered it early and averted the crisis.
Afterwards, the Cao Man retreated and disappeared without a trace, with no intention of fighting for a long time.
On the discussion board, countless scholars cursed the Miscellaneous School and the Kingdom of Qing, accusing them of colluding with the monsters and barbarians in order to weaken the Kingdom of Jing, and using the monsters and barbarians to put pressure on the Kingdom of Jing.
However, no matter how fierce the criticism was, it did not stop Zajia from continuing his investigation into Jingguo.
On the third day after the second grand court meeting, the Ministry of Culture and Information issued a decree.
Chen Yu, the co-magistrate of Taihe Prefecture in Xiangzhou, Jingguo, violated the holy way of the Eclectic School, cut off its holy way of the Eclectic School, and prohibited any connection with the Eclectic School.
Chen Yu was a staunch member of the Fang party, and he majored in Confucianism and also studied miscellaneous schools of thought.
On the same day, Chen Yuwen's gallbladder was covered with dust, his palace was shaken, he vomited blood and fell into a coma.
Miscellaneous scholars, sound the clarion call of war.
