Black smoke rose from the vast territory of Jing State, and the endless mountains and rivers were shrouded in darkness.
Without the holy way, the world will be in darkness.
All the black smoke and darkness slowly settled and finally penetrated deep into the earth.
The land of Jing Kingdom was three points darker than usual.
Everyone returned to normal, but then they felt as if they had lost something, as if they had just woken up, their heads felt empty and their bodies felt dizzy.
At this moment, Fang Yun relied on the power of the holy temple and looked down on the world with his divine mind.
In the sky above Jing Kingdom, there was a black jade seal suspended that ordinary people could not see. It was a thousand feet high, like a giant mountain, with an evil dragon tumbling above it and ghost talismans flashing below it.
The black jade seal was like a giant spider, releasing a huge black web that covered the sky above the entire Jing Kingdom.
The edge of the giant black net coincides with the border of Jing Country. Those strange black forces not only continuously drain the power of Jing Country, but also prevent the external forces from entering Jing Country.
Even the starlight of Wenquxing was weakened by 10%.
In Fang Yun's eyes, the entire Jing Kingdom seemed to have turned into a ghost town, and all the holy ways related to the Miscellaneous School no longer existed.
However, right above the capital city, there stood an object that was invisible to ordinary people.
An ancient sword made of pure copper, its name is Jing.
The shape of mountains and rivers, the sword of the country.
The Sword of State pointed towards the black seal and slowly sank.
In three days at most, the Sword of the State of Jing would be suppressed back by the mighty power of the Holy Way of Miscellaneous Schools, and the State of Jing would no longer have the power to suppress the Holy Way of Miscellaneous Schools. By then, extremely serious problems would erupt in the court of the State of Jing.
Even now, all government offices in Jing State are beginning to encounter problems.
All clerks without ranks are no longer able to understand official documents quickly. They need to read them repeatedly several times before they can understand the general meaning of the documents.
All the clerks had forgotten many official data that they had once remembered vividly, such as local residents, tax collection, and silver withdrawals.
Some officials became instinctively indulged, and as there was one less force to restrain them, they could do whatever they wanted by relying on their positions.
Those yamen runners no longer had any basic deterrent effect on the people and were unable to do anything.
Over time, the influence of the Zajia Shengdao Zhenfeng would affect all officials, up to the cabinet and the royal family.
By that time, government orders would not be issued from the Fengtian Palace, and the most serious consequence might be that various places would become independent and the royal kings would begin to rebel.
In the Fengtian Hall, the grand court meeting that had been held for a day and a night was still continuing.
The Queen Mother sat on the dragon throne, feeling discouraged.
All officials also felt the impact of the Holy Dao Seal, and various thoughts arose in their minds, many of which they had never had before.
Without the restraint of the Holy Path, everyone will become more indulgent.
After a long time, a man walked in from the main gate of Fengtian Hall.
"Fang Xusheng is here!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone looked over hurriedly and saw Fang Yun, dressed in a purple robe, actually walking in instead of sitting in the Wu Hou carriage.
What surprised all the officials was that Fang Yun's face was pale, his body was very weak, and his breath was extremely unstable before, but now, Fang Yun was full of energy and his face was rosy, and the aura of the great scholar was not only stable, but also extremely strong, like a raging fire cooking oil.
Fang Yun was clearly only a fourth-level scholar, but his aura already surpassed that of an ordinary fifth-level scholar.
In the perception of everyone's mind, Fang Yun was like an erupting volcano, with smoke and clouds covering the nine provinces and magma burning the four seas.
Everyone was stunned.
"You... aren't you pretending to be sick?" Zhang Poyue blurted out, expressing all the officials' speculations.
"How is that possible? I took enough magical medicine and my body has just recovered." Fang Yun answered seriously.
As Fang Yun walked, his purple robe fluttered, his black hair fluttered, and his eyes were like the sun and the moon.
Zhang Poyue curled his lips, totally disbelieving what Fang Yun said.
"You are the one pretending to be sick. No one is better at pretending to be sick than you..." Zhang Poyue muttered softly.
Fang Yun walked to the position of the head of all officials, bowed slightly, and said: "Please forgive me for being late because I am fully focused on treating the disease."
"So many officials have left, why are you still here?" The empress dowager's voice came from behind the curtain, her voice full of indifference and resistance.
All the officials were silent. This was the first time that the empress dowager lost her composure in front of everyone, and it was also the first time that the empress dowager targeted Fang Yun in this way.
"The foundation of a country lies in its people; the root of a country lies in its officials. Without destruction, there will be no construction. If Jing State wants to soar into the sky, it must undergo surgery to squeeze out the pus so that it can heal. Otherwise, it will be covered with pus and will be beyond help and will surely die." Fang Yun smiled and regained his usual carefree attitude.
The officials were horrified.
Fang Yun’s words were too shocking and contained incredible information.
Fang Yun was almost saying that he was using the eclectic group to clean out those incompetent and even notorious officials in the court of Jing State. Only in this way could Jing State become prosperous and strong, surpass other countries, and become the number one powerful country.
Forcing those officials to leave is part of Fang Yun’s reform!
Whether it was Zhang Poyue, known as the tough guy, or Cao De'an, known as the tumbler, whether it was the oldest Yang Xuwen, or this year's top scorer, their eyes were all filled with shock.
Until now, they still couldn't believe that Fang Yun would actually want to do such a thing, and do it, and succeed.
After the shock, all the officials recalled Fang Yun’s reform process and found a clear thread.
Fang Yun first changed farmers and workers by relying on the technological progress of workers and farmers.
Then, Fang Yun borrowed the power of the Legalists to sweep away all kinds of ruffians and small families.
Afterwards, Fang Yun directed his attack towards all the major families, even including the holy families.
Then, following the clues, Fang Yun will definitely take action against the officials of Panorama Kingdom.
But the human race is in turmoil, and Jing is in trouble both internally and externally. If Fang Yun personally takes action against the officials, it would be tantamount to challenging the entire bureaucratic system. Not to mention that he is only the left prime minister, even the emperors of all dynasties have never won.
Therefore, Fang Yun chose to borrow external forces to clean up the officialdom of Jing State.
The miscellaneous family became the knife in Fang Yun's hand.
At this time, even if Fang Yun had dealt a heavy blow to the Jing State bureaucrats, because the Holy Dao Seal had already been imposed, the die was cast and they had to either force Fang Yun to leave or continue to follow Fang Yun.
If the previous officials had not left, the Jing State bureaucrats might have been able to force Fang Yun away by joining forces, but now it was too late.
All the officials of the various schools have left, and the establishment of new departments in Jing State has diluted the power of the original factions, allowing the Fang Party to increase significantly in both number and proportion.
The current Fang Party is the undisputed number one force in Jing State, both in the local area and in the capital.
The various forces still have ways to deal with the seriously ill Fang Yun, because no matter how much power Fang Yun holds, he has fatal flaws and will ultimately find it difficult to truly control the Jing Kingdom.
That was just an illusion created by Fang Yun to paralyze them.
Now Fang Yun is the number one scholar under Chen Sheng in Jing Kingdom, not because of his status, but because of his strength!
Fang Yun still has a semi-saint treasure in his hand!
Fang Yun also has dragon allies, the semi-saint Fu Yue, and the Nuzhi tribe!
By forcing so many officials to leave, Fang Yun has already gained power that surpasses the Panoramic Kingdom.
Now, unless Chen Sheng takes action personally, no one in Jing State can force Fang Yun away.
Even joining forces won't work.
