In the end, dozens of officials came out one after another, and there were more than twenty officials above the fifth rank!
The storm is coming.
The departure of miscellaneous officials from the court was already a huge blow. If officials like Sheng Boyuan also resigned, the Jing Kingdom court would most likely fall into a great crisis.
Without these experienced bureaucrats at the helm, managing such a large country would inevitably lead to disasters that would be difficult to quell for many years.
For example, a seemingly insignificant policy may seem unimportant to the bureaucrats and will not affect them, but it is very likely to affect a large number of people. When the court finds out about it, it can only suffer the consequences and spend manpower and material resources to repair it, which causes great waste.
If there are too many such incidents and a chain reaction occurs, it will inevitably lead to national unrest and even national collapse.
It can even be said that one of the main reasons for the collapse of dynasties throughout history is various wrong policies, whether it is land policy, fiscal policy, strategic planning, and so on.
Officials who developed policy plans thought they were right, but by the time they discovered they were wrong it was too late.
History is an upward spiral. In fact, what is rising is technology and the collective wisdom of mankind. The bureaucrats have been spinning in place and are responsible for the spiral of history, while non-bureaucrats and a very small number of enlightened officials are responsible for the rise of history.
Many officials present had seen the consequences of too many officials leaving, but could only remain silent.
Even among Fang’s party officials, some were resentful of Fang Yun.
The imperial court was suffering a devastating blow, which could not be reversed by any reform. Fang Yun might be the most outstanding official, but he could definitely not replace more ordinary officials.
Fang Xusheng was absent and Sheng Boyuan was threatening, so the empress dowager had to compromise and start voting in court. As long as more than two-thirds of the officials agreed, peace talks would be resumed.
Soon, the results came out.
The vote received an overwhelming 90% support rate and decided to restart peace talks.
Therefore, Sheng Boyuan led the officials of the Peace Negotiation Department to the Holy Court again.
When they arrived at Daofeng Mountain, Sheng Boyuan and others suddenly saw a familiar figure, but the figure flashed and disappeared.
"That silhouette looks a lot like Fang Xusheng..." Sheng Boyuan whispered.
"I think so too," an official said later.
"At this time, he came to the Holy Court secretly. Could it be that he has something important to do?"
"Forget it, let's go negotiate first." Sheng Boyuan shook his head.
However, what Sheng Boyuan never expected was that the expert refused to negotiate with him.
Just talk to Fang Yun.
Sheng Boyuan returned empty-handed and reported to the cabinet and the empress dowager.
So, after the Queen Mother discussed with the Cabinet, she convened a meeting of the Cabinet again and began to vote. They passed a new resolution requiring Fang Yun to go for peace talks.
Fang Yun uses the power of the left prime minister to veto.
Sheng Boyuan once again requested that a grand court meeting be held to vote to impeach Fang Yun.
However, the proposal did not receive the approval of more than half of the officials and the vote failed.
Before we knew it, it was the fifth day since the announcement was made.
The mornings in Beijing in autumn are unusually clear, and the sky is as blue as a gem.
Amid the curling smoke from cooking, people from all walks of life begin to prepare for the new day.
Suddenly, the whole capital city shook violently, and everyone felt an overwhelming and unstoppable force descending from the sky. Everyone felt as if they were being crushed by a huge rock, making it difficult to breathe.
Amid the earthquake, houses shook, objects collapsed, chickens crowed and dogs barked, and there was chaos everywhere.
After a brief shake, the capital returned to normal.
The buyers of clay pots cried loudly, the sellers of porcelain wept bitterly, the sellers of wine tried desperately to save their houses, and the worst-hit were the people whose houses collapsed...
In Jingguo, all the scholars who majored or minored in various subjects were suffering at this moment.
The miscellaneous schools are blocking their connection with the Holy Way and draining away their power.
All over Jing State, there were sounds of broken literary talents everywhere, like glass falling to the ground, resounding through the sky.
Some elderly members of the Miscellaneous Family even simply wore animal skins and lay in coffins, instructing their children and grandchildren in advance that if their literary palaces were damaged, there was no need to rescue them, but only to take away from them the literary treasures that they had condensed with their lifelong talents.
There was wailing everywhere in Jingguo.
On this day when the whole country is mourning, there is unexpectedly good news.
An old scholar who was a jack of all trades was in a trance and forgot that only a juren could infuse his talent into objects to form literary treasures. So when the jack of all trades was cut off from the holy way, he infused his talent into his beloved inkstone.
As a result, the inkstone shines and becomes a cultural treasure.
The one who discovered this was the old scholar's son. Although he was only a student, he was still a scholar. After settling his father down, he ran to the local county government office and reported the matter to the county magistrate.
When the county magistrate heard the news, he was overjoyed and immediately prepared to send letters to both the imperial court and the Holy Academy at the same time. However, after thinking for a few breaths, he decisively only sent the letter to the Left Prime Minister's Office.
County magistrates of the seventh rank or above have the privilege of submitting direct reports to the Left Prime Minister's Cabinet when encountering urgent matters.
After receiving the letter, the officials of the Left Prime Minister's Cabinet could not hide their joy and immediately sent the letter to Fang Yun.
After Fang Yun got the result, he pondered for a few breaths and sent a letter to Dongsheng Pavilion.
Afterwards, the East Saint Pavilion dispatched a joint team composed of great scholars from various halls, carrying the treasures of the Holy Academy, and went straight to the home of the old scholar.
On the second day, the Holy Court announced a piece of news that shocked the world.
From now on, scholars and even students can inject their lifelong talents into objects, turning them into cultural treasures. Moreover, ordinary people can use students' cultural treasures.
If it can form a Wenyu, it can be integrated into a Wenbao. If the Wenbao that integrates the Wenyu has a certain level of poetry and lyrics before his death, the Wenbao will obtain a certain level after it is formed.
The Holy Academy also announced that the lifespan of all cultural treasures of the human race has been doubled. The specific reason is unknown, perhaps it is affected by the star Wenqu.
As soon as this news came out, not only the human race, but all walks of life paid close attention to it.
Before, only people with a juren or higher rank could form literary treasures, but now, even scholars can form them, which means that literary treasures are likely to be popularized on the battlefields of the human race.
But this level will not affect the middle and high-level battles, but Wen Yu can be integrated into Wen Bao to form multi-level battle poems, which is extremely terrifying.
Before the existence of Wen Yu, if a scholar who mastered the Four Realms War Poems injected his talent into a Wen Bao, the power of the Wen Bao would indeed be stronger than that of an ordinary Wen Bao, but it would also be limited. But now, there has been a qualitative leap.
This means that even a newly promoted Grand Secretary could easily kill an ordinary demon king by holding the war poems of the great scholars of the four realms.
If there weren't a limited number of scholars who could master high-level war poems, and if they didn't die in battle so often that it was difficult to guarantee that they would form high-level literary treasures before dying, the demon world would have launched a general offensive long ago.
The dispute between Zajia and Fang Yun is still undecided, and the demon world still has not attacked Liangjie Mountain.
Soon, everyone knew that it was the Miscellaneous Family of Jing State who first discovered the formation of low-level cultural treasures. So, on the discussion list, many scholars of the Miscellaneous Family laughed at Fang Yun, saying that the reason why Fang Yun fought against the Miscellaneous Family had finally been revealed: it was to form low-level cultural treasures.
With the departure of a large number of eclectic scholars and the completion of the civil service examination, many scholars filled the government offices of the State of Jing.
More and more new faces began to participate in the operation of the Jingguo court.
