The crisp autumn air and the fragrance of golden osmanthus are perfect for reading.
Fang Yun used his literary courage to cover up the noise outside the door, and made decisions alone in his study with peace of mind, writing as fast as he could.
In the yard, Nunu suppressed its smile and patrolled slowly. Once someone's footsteps made a little louder sound, it would immediately rush to that person, hold down the person's shoes, and then point to Fang Yun's study. If the servants at home make any noise, Nunu will appear immediately to warn him.
Little Meteor has been following Nunu like a follower.
After writing a policy essay, Fang Yun quickly looked through the unfinished Hongyan Biography. After replying to everyone, he started doing what he had been doing in the Holy Ruins. He selected a holy classic from the Thirteen Classics and recited it.
After that, I selected the five-volume volume of "Tiangong Kaiwu" in Qishu Tiandi and began to read it quickly. After reading it, I started reading from the beginning of "Wu Jing Zong Yao". After reading one volume, I took a short break and continued writing strategies.
Ordinary people would go crazy if they studied and made decisions like this for less than three days, but Fang Yun had the support of literary courage and talent, so he could study effortlessly and his learning efficiency was terrifyingly high. With a high-quality literary mind, he writes diligently and writes policy papers at a speed much faster than others.
In the evening, Magistrate Dong came as promised, and then took out the article "Stabilizing Farming and Stabilizing Military Strategies" written by Fang Yun yesterday, and commented on it in front of Fang Yun, using many of Li Wenying's comments and opinions.
Fang Yun became more open-minded after hearing this. He did not expect that Magistrate Dong was so knowledgeable about farming and military strategy. No wonder he became the magistrate of the second largest prefecture in Jingguo.
Magistrate Dong was very satisfied, and then he read through the nine policy papers made by Fang Yun today. He first praised some of the advantages and expressed some of his own opinions. Then he said that in order to better help Fang Yun, he would go back today. Revise it carefully and come up with complete guidance tomorrow.
Before leaving, Magistrate Dong left ten more policy questions, but Fang Yun had no choice. I had no choice but to continue with my tactics.
News about Liangjie Mountain continued to come from Zeng Yuan.
This morning, the human race of Liangjie Mountain sent hundreds of Jinshi to stand on the city wall, shouting spring thunder with their tongues and shouting to the generals, telling the fate of Fang Yun's bet, and laughing at the demons and barbarians for their cowardice.
In the afternoon, the demon barbarians finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to curse each other. They continued to scold each other until the evening, and the demon king who commanded the demon barbarian army did not show up.
The morale of the demons and barbarians dropped, while the morale of the human race soared.
Zeng Yuan said in his letter that Li Wenying was thoughtful, and now all the people in the Two Realms Mountains are praising Fang Yun. Not only could he suppress a state, but he could also suppress hundreds of millions of monsters for a day.
However, in the end, Zeng Yuan also said that many people wanted to express their concerns to Fang Yun. It was not easy to write sixteen war poems in three years, and it was unprecedented to write sixteen war poems handed down from generation to generation. He hoped that Fang Yun would withdraw from this gamble.
After reading Zeng Yuan's biography, Fang Yun expressed his gratitude and continued studying.
Another day passed, early in the morning. The government office sent an old official, an old woman, and a team of government servants to come with more than a dozen dresses, because the convoy led by the right servant of the Ministry of Rites was about to arrive at Yuhai City, and Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan were going together. meet.
The Zuo Shilang and Right Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel are both officials of the third rank. His status was only below that of the Minister of Rites, but he was ordered to leave the capital and meet an official of half a rank, and this reward was the biggest event in Yuhai City in recent years. Most of the officials in Yuhai City had to go out to greet him.
Fang Yun is a scholar, so he can just wear a scholar's robe to welcome him, but Yang Yuhuan has a lot of trouble choosing clothes. From choosing clothes to finally going out, it took a full hour.
Yang Yuhuan walked out wearing a festive red robe with light makeup. She was a little more gorgeous and noble than usual. She already had the temperament of the eldest young lady of the Fang family.
Nunu's eyes widened, and then she jumped happily in front of Yang Yuhuan and screamed non-stop.
Fang Yun looked at Yang Yuhuan carefully and said, "Look, even Nunu is fascinated by you."
Fang Yun said, reaching out to take Yang Yuhuan's hand.
After all, Yang Yuhuan grew up under feudal ethics. Even if Fang Yun often held her hand, she would still blush.
The old official sent by the government office darkened his face, coughed slightly, and said, "Master Marquis and Madam, please pay attention to your manners."
But Fang Yun smiled and said: "This is a husband singing and a wife accompanying each other. The Queen Mother has given us cultural treasures, harps and harps. If we don't get closer, how can we make the Queen Mother happy? Don't worry, I will never be rude when receiving orders."
"I hope so." The old official said nothing more.
Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan held hands and stepped onto the carriage. Nunu and Xiaoliuxing also followed and headed to the East Vice City together.
If someone were to receive a reward from the imperial court, they would have to go out of the city for at least thirty miles to greet him. However, Fang Yun had a unique status. In order to avoid accidents, the Queen Mother authorized Fang Yun and all the officials of Yuhai City to welcome him in the East Vice City.
Not long after, the carriage stopped at the gate of the East Vice City. Fang Yun got out of the car and saw a large number of officials from Yuhai City in front.
"Congratulations to Lord Fang!"
"I've met Lord Fang!"
Except for Governor Lu, the commander of the state army, and Li Wenying, the monarch of the state court, all the officials bowed and saluted.
The title of Marquis Wen and the title of Minister of Cabinet have already allowed Fang Yun to join the ranks of high-ranking officials in Jingguo. There are thousands of officials in Jiangzhou, but only three of them can see him as an equal.
Fang Yun straightened his body and gently cupped his hands as a courtesy.
Yang Yuhuan knelt down and performed a Wanfu ceremony.
The little fox imitated Fang Yun and stood upright in a serious manner, with his two front paws cupping his hands. His movements were extremely standard.
Then all the officials came up to greet him and congratulated him one after another. Before he could say a few words, someone announced: "Secretary Master Sai is here."
As soon as Fang Yun heard that he was Sai Shilang, he knew that things would go smoothly, because Sai Shilang was not only a native of Jiangzhou, but also a poor student at that time, and the leader of the Lishan Society of the Zhou Literary Academy. Fang Yun was a member of the Lishan Society. . The Queen Mother specially sent Minister Sai here, and it can be said that she considered everything.
Not long after, more than thirty dragon carriages draped in red ribbons slowly came in from the city gate. Six of the dragon carriages were trucks, and the rest carried soldiers.
The carriage at the front stopped, and a middle-aged man wearing a third-grade official uniform stepped out of the carriage.
Fang Yun took a closer look and found that this man was very well maintained. He looked like he was only in his early thirties, but in fact he was a long-famous Hanlin scholar. He was the same generation as Li Wenying. It was said that he would become a bachelor in a few years and his future would be limitless. .
"I've met Mr. Sai." Yuhai City officials saluted together.
Mr. Sai bowed his hands to everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone, it's been a long time. Wen Ying, you still owe me a drink!"
Many people here are familiar with Mr. Sai, or even promoted by Mr. Sai. The atmosphere became lively when he saw that Mr. Sai had no airs of a third-grade official.
Mr. Sai greeted his old friend a few times, looked at Fang Yun, and said with a smile, "Are you Fang Zhenguo of our Lishan Society?"
When Fang Yun saw what Mr. Sai said, he immediately said, "Mo Xue has met the old boss of Lishan Society."
"Hahaha... Okay, there are still people who remember me as the leader of the club. Enough with the pleasantries, let's get down to business first."
Mr. Sai quickly stopped smiling, and all the officials present also looked solemn. Only Yang Yuhuan was a little slower, thinking that these officials could change their faces faster than turning the page of a book.
"Fang Yun receives the decree!" Sai Shilang took out a bright yellow imperial decree.
Fang Yun lowered his head slightly. Not even bending.
The surrounding soldiers and officers all knelt down with cheers.
Mr. Sai glanced at Fang Yun and recited the imperial edict seriously.
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor issued an edict: Jiangzhou Fangyun used his body as a scholar to write the "Three Character Classic" to educate all people. He took the Holy Ruins Road to compete for the top five. He spread his poems to the world at the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Ten Kingdoms. He entered the Holy Ruins to destroy the demons and barbarians and protect the country. The essence of a generation of human race, and before becoming a saint, he wrote three war poems handed down from generation to generation, which were the most popular in Qingguo state... "
This edict is unprecedentedly long. But everyone listened carefully.
"... In fact, he is the pillar of the country, a role model for all living beings, and a hero of the human race..."
Speaking of the heroes of the human race, Mr. Sai paused for a moment because he read a long paragraph in one breath. Fang Yun thought it was just three words of praise, but Mr. Sai slowly spit out four words.
"Literati set an example." Sai Shilang continued to read, "I am very relieved, and I specially named Fang Yun as Wenhou of Jingguo. I gave the prince a young teacher and a cabinet..."
Sai Shilang continued to recite the imperial edict, while many officials with their heads lowered began to secretly look at Fang Yun.
Less than three months apart, Fang Yun once again set an example for the literati!
Don't say that Jingguo has never had it before. The Ten Kingdoms are also unique.
Sai Shilang's voice continued to echo.
"... We specially recruit Fang Yun as a student of Jingguo Academy to participate in the first mourning of the scholars of the Ten Kingdoms... I admire this!"
After Mr. Sai finished reading the imperial edict, Fang Yun received the edict to thank him.
Afterwards, Mr. Sai took out the Queen Mother's decree and read it out again. The Queen Mother's decree was not so wordy. She just said that Fang Yun had meritorious service. She was very pleased, and then named Yang Yuhuan the sixth-grade imperial wife. She also listed some important gifts, such as the Everlasting Pearl produced only in Dragon Palace, which is more precious than the blood ginseng. Dragon's Breath Turtle Gum, Demon Realm Ginseng, which has the effect of increasing longevity, etc.
Fang Yun once again received the order to thank him.
"Congratulations to Mr. Fang, you are already the only double scholar among the great scholars of the ten countries." Sai Shilang said.
Yuhai officials rushed forward to congratulate him.
"The human race has never seen such an example of a man with two scholars! We and other Jiangzhou officials are so honored!"
"Literary example is already the highest honor in our Jingguo. Fang is lucky enough to get one in a few months. In a few months, Jingguo will have nothing to be bestowed on and can only be canonized by the Holy Court."
"The canonization of the Holy Court is not only about reputation, but also has other great benefits, which are much richer than those of the Ten Kingdoms!"
Mr. Sai stood aside and watched everyone talking to each other. After a while, he said, "Fang Yun and I still have private matters to discuss. I hope you can give us a quarter of an hour."
All the officials suddenly realized that the canonization, rewards and honors in this imperial edict were indeed enough, but they did not give people the feeling of a heavy reward at all. I am afraid there is still a secret edict.
All the officials retreated one after another, while Mr. Sai led Fang Yun onto the carriage and sealed the carriage with literary bile.
"This is the secret thank you gift that the Queen Mother asked me to give you." Sai Shilang said, handing a tips bag to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun took the kit and took a look. Inside was a token with the word "free" written on one side and the word "order" written on the other.
"Is this an exemption order?" Fang Yun was surprised and happy.
Mr. Sai nodded and said: "In the event of a major incident, each hall of the Holy Court has the right to recruit any manpower. If someone uses an emergency to harm you, this exemption order can play a great role. This is The Holy Court has given the Royal Family of the Ten Kingdoms something special that even the great Confucians could not ask for. This exemption order has other uses, you will know in the future." (To be continued...)
