Thus, the most embarrassing court meeting in the history of Qing Kingdom began.
"What do you think about this matter, my dear ministers?"
Qing Jun sat on the dragon throne with an expressionless face.
No one responded, including Pang Jue.
This great scholar and the Left Prime Minister of Qing State originally wanted to lead his army to attack Jing State after the Old Peach Mountain was blocked by Fang Yun's sword formation. Even if he was defeated, he wanted to wash away the shame of Qing State.
However, when the Great Sage Fu Yue appeared, various noble families, great scholars from all over the country, famous people from all over the country and even famous people from the Qing State all made extremely harsh remarks, and the King of Qing had to recall Pang Jue.
Once Qing attacks Jing, Fu Yue will definitely know about it. If he brings Jiuxing Mountain to Qing, even if the saints can suppress it, at least half of Shengyuan Continent will be destroyed.
"Did he... really kill the Three Saints of the Dragon Clan?" Pang Jue asked with a trembling voice.
The scholars present were silent, and some officials from aristocratic families had complicated expressions.
The Holy Academy informed all the noble families of the matter as soon as possible. Fang Yun went to the West Sea alone, fighting against thirteen people alone. In the end, he killed all the enemies with the help of the Sky-viewing Mirror.
Some news has not been disclosed to the public yet, but in the eyes of the scholars of the holy families, Fang Yun is already like a god.
Mingming was in Longcheng, where he killed Guxu, annihilated the Longcheng army, slaughtered dozens of demon and barbarian semi-saints, and made many of them convert to the human race and call themselves disciples of the Fang family. Later, he sent Fu Yue to turn the tide and save Liangjie Mountain.
According to the speculation of the children of the aristocratic families, the Holy Academy originally wanted to give up Liangjie Mountain and was fully prepared for a decisive battle with the monsters at Daofeng Mountain.
It can be said that Fang Yun saved the human race entirely on his own and prevented the suffering of all people in the Shengyuan Continent.
Now, Fang Yun has solved the hidden danger of the three sea creatures. His achievement is even greater than that of Confucius in his semi-saint period, and is on par with King Wen of Zhou who saved the human race.
The number one person after Confucius has become the unanimous name given to Fang Yun by the children of aristocratic families.
The saintly families have made great achievements in battle, and their children are extremely proud. Some even think that the saintly families are completely superior to the human race.
Before Fang Yun was canonized, no matter how brilliant his talent was, no matter how unrivaled his talent was, in the eyes of many children from aristocratic families, it was just an empty title. Even though his poems and lyrics were constantly spread throughout the world, they still stubbornly believed that Fang Yun's contributions were limited.
But now, the most stubborn and proud people among the holy families have completely bowed their noble heads to Fang Yun.
Even if some people are simply afraid that their literary courage will be shattered.
When the West Sea was peaceful, except for a few aristocratic families like the Zong family, the scholars of all the holy families were already full of admiration.
Even some of the noble families that were once opposed to Fang Yun gave him a evaluation that surpassed all semi-saints.
Fang Yun’s current status is already higher than that of a saint.
In this state, Qingjun lost the courage to fight.
"I wonder what your majesty's intention is?" asked the Right Prime Minister of Qing State.
"presumptuous!"
A miscellaneous scholar angrily denounced the right prime minister of Qing State, but the others just watched coldly.
When the king asks his ministers, and the ministers ask the king the same questions, it may seem like nothing on the surface, but in fact it is a crime against the king.
It was very clear from the words of the Right Prime Minister of Qing State that this matter could not be resolved by the ministers, and the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.
It was Qing Jun who offended Fang Yun to death back then. Only when Qing Jun set the direction could the ministers find a solution.
Qing Jun suddenly showed a self-deprecating look on his face, glanced at the right prime minister, and then glanced at the ministers.
"I didn't expect that I... would fail like this!" Qing Jun's voice echoed in the hall, exceptionally loud.
All the ministers bowed their heads and said nothing.
A sickly blush appeared on Qingjun's pale face, and his chest rose and fell violently. After a few breaths, it gradually stabilized.
"I am the king of a fallen country. Are you not also the ministers of a fallen country?" Qing Jun looked at the civil and military officials with a smile, his eyes full of ridicule.
The ministers remained silent.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Lord Qing pointed to the north and said in a loud voice: "Is Qing's invasion of the north a strategy I set? Is it my fault that Wen suppressed Jing? Is it my selfish desire to embarrass Fang Yun? Is it my order to suppress the various families? Speak up! Why don't you speak? Everyone calls you Your Majesty warmly, but in their hearts they believe that everything is my fault. I am a useless monarch! When they needed me, they worshipped me, but now that they don't need me, they discard me like a worn-out shoe!"
Qing Jun gasped for breath, pushed the eunuch who came over to massage his back, stood up shakily with the help of the dragon throne, and looked down at the ministers.
"My only mistake was not letting Fang Yun be born in Qing! I didn't conquer Jiangzhou and didn't let Fang Yun become a citizen of Qing. This is my only mistake! Ask yourselves, if you were in this position, sitting on this throne..."
Qing Jun pointed at the dragon throne and said, "Who among you can do better than me? What can you use to target Fang Yun? What can you use to protect Qing Kingdom?"
Qing Jun showed contempt on his face and said, "You can't! You all look righteous but are actually beasts in human clothing. You are all trash! Trash!"
In the court, all the scholars who usually claimed to be saints were scolded by Qing Jun and were unable to refute.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Qingjun's body swayed and he fell onto the dragon throne. The eunuch came up again and was kicked away by Qingjun again.
Qingjun suddenly smiled, with a hint of sadness and a hint of calmness in his smile, and his eyes unexpectedly became clear.
"I can die."
Hearing this, many officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
So many officials exhaled that a clear sound was formed.
The mockery on Qingjun's face became even more intense.
Many officials looked ashamed.
Qing Jun slowly straightened his body and said, "But I want to have a good reputation after my death!"
The officials lowered their heads and secretly glanced at the Grand Historian in the court.
The historians of each country were responsible for recording the words and deeds of the monarch, and the final review and revision was made by the Grand Historian.
The Grand Historian was nominally an official of a country, but in reality he was only responsible to the historians. In other words, no one could interfere with what the Grand Historian wrote.
The Grand Historian of a country does not have a high rank, but is in charge of the history of a country and has a respected status, at least a Grand Secretary. It is also the best way for many historians and Grand Secretaries to be promoted to great Confucian scholars.
Then the Grand Historian Su Qing looked up and smiled, staring at Emperor Qing, and said, "How many people of Qing can I save with my pen?"
Qing Jun said without hesitation: "Ten thousand lives."
Su Qing turned around and glanced at the officials, and asked, "Who dares to serve the country and the king?"
The Grand Historian asked in public who had overthrown Lord Qing, but no one, from Lord Qing to the smallest official, rebuked him for such treasonous words.
The atmosphere in the hall remained unchanged.
Not only did Qingjun not blame Su Qing, but he showed an indescribable look of pride on his face.
This bunch of rubbish, they don't even dare to kill the king! I was right to scold him.
Su Qing smiled carefreely, turned to look at Lord Qing, and said, "I am willing to revise the history of Qing."
There were sighs in the hall.
Especially the historians and scholars, they looked at Su Qing with regret.
This means that Su Qing gave up the path of a great scholar and the holy way of a historian.
Qing Jun laughed loudly and said, "Okay, I will wait for Fang Yun here! He is a semi-saint, and I am the king!"
Qingjun held his head high, as if overlooking the country.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hide the regret deep in his eyes.
