Fang Yun looked at the closed door, went into the study, and waited for dinner.
There was a book box on the desk in the study, and in the book box were the things Fang Yun would use for the imperial examination.
Unlike previous examinations, candidates taking the Jinshi examination could enjoy fairly delicious meals during the examination and did not need to bring their own food.
The Jinshi examination is divided into two rounds, the first is the joint examination and the second is the palace examination.
The imperial examination was held in the Jingguo Academy, and Shangshe was located inside the academy.
Fang Yun first finished writing the poem "Song of the Precious Sword" which was handed down from generation to generation to avoid the interruption of the inheritance.
Afterwards, Fang Yun wrote a letter of suggestion in the capacity of "Cabinet Walker" and asked Fang Daniu to submit it to the Ministry of Justice. The content of the letter of suggestion involved three prisoners in Huqiu Prison, three of whom had undergone the test of Legalist classics and were obviously wronged. He hoped that the Ministry of Justice would thoroughly investigate the matter.
Finally, Fang Yun looked at the cover of "Emperor's Canon" written with holy pages on the table and sighed softly. He had just finished writing the cover that day and was arrested and thrown into the Tiger Prison before he could start writing the main text. It seemed that God would not let him finish writing "Emperor's Canon".
The exam was coming up soon, so Fang Yun couldn't write "Emperor's Canon" now, so he had to clip the paper into the book.
Fang Yun looked around the study, sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the world of strange books, going through all the saints' classics in his mind at a very fast speed.
Jingguo, the residence of the left prime minister Liushan.
Today is the first day of December, the day when the monthly magazine "Sheng Dao" and the biweekly "Wen Bao" are published.
The servant who bought newspapers and magazines for the Liu family rushed into the Liu family through the side door and handed "The Holy Way" and "Wen Bao" to the housekeeper Liu.
Butler Liu walked steadily inside. According to the rules of the Liu Mansion, no one was allowed to disturb the Liu family while they were eating, but there was an exception on the first day of every month when the "Holy Way" was published, because the "Holy Way" recorded the way of the human race, and respecting the "Holy Way" was a great courtesy, while the etiquette of family meals was a small courtesy.
Steward Liu walked into the room quickly, holding the "Sacred Way" and "Literary Newspaper". He looked at the Left Prime Minister Liu Shan, who was sitting at the main seat at the dining table, and smiled humbly.
Liu Shan was chewing his food slowly. He glanced at Butler Liu and suddenly quickened his pace to swallow it all in one gulp. Before Butler Liu handed over the Holy Way and the Literary Newspaper, he said, "Send it to the study."
After Liu Shan finished speaking, he stopped looking at the housekeeper and continued eating, chewing at his normal pace.
However, everyone in the Liu family felt cold all over. Their bodies were stiff, and many people slowed down their eating speed, fearing that they would accidentally do something wrong.
Butler Liu was stunned for a moment and whispered, "Yes, master." After that, he lowered his head and hurried out of the house, walking towards the study in confusion.
Arriving at the study, Butler Liu put "The Holy Way" and "The Literary Newspaper" on the table. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly stared at the cover of the Literary Newspaper in a daze. Then he quickly flipped through it and looked at the catalog of "The Holy Way".
Steward Liu was shocked, and finally cursed in a low voice: "The Holy Way and Literary Newspaper were clearly finalized three days ago, but Fang Yun's poems from yesterday appeared on them. They were changed at the last minute, which is rare in a century! Trash! What a nobody! Knowing that this month's Holy Way is Fang Yun's Holy Way and Literary Newspaper is Fang Yun's Literary Newspaper, you still want me to deliver the things to the Prime Minister. Did I dig up your ancestral graves? Come on, beat that little beast from the Gou family out of the Prime Minister's residence!"
After saying this, Butler Liu threw the Holy Way and the Wen Bao on the table, with the Wen Bao open, revealing its contents.
"The beautiful girls of the capital gathered outside the residence of the Left Prime Minister, and the Liu family was in a state of panic. Liu Shan was the first university scholar in the Ten Kingdoms to be blocked at home by beautiful girls..."
"Fang Yunxin's national poem "Bamboo and Rock" is suspected to be aimed at Liu Shan, forcing Liu Shan to stay indoors and not dare to go out..."
The mansion purchased by the Lei family in Beijing.
In the main hall, a Hanlin scholar who was about thirty years old was sitting at the top, while Jinshi Lei Yuanting was sitting below.
The Hanlin scholar in white and black plum-patterned robe was flipping through "The Holy Way".
This Hanlin was exceptionally handsome, with a straight nose and thin lips, so thin that they reminded people of a woman's cherry lips, but he had a very profound name.
Lei Yuanding.
Lei Yuanting, the former head of the Lei family in Beijing, held the Wen Bao in his hand and smiled, "Cousin, you have come all the way to Jingguo, why don't you take a few days off? Why bother working so hard for a dying person?"
Lei Yuanding snorted and said, "Do you think I want to come? It's because those old guys think that the Lei family and the East China Sea Dragon Palace are too bad, so they kicked me here to make up for the relationship with the East China Sea Dragon Palace. Well, I have finished reading "The Holy Way", give me "Literary Newspaper". I have to say that Fang Yun is really amazing, fortunately he is dying soon. If he can live to become a Hanlin, who in the world will know me, Lei Yuanding! Except for losing to the armless Hanlin in a verbal battle, when have I ever lost to anyone?"
Lei Yuanting held down the Wen Bao on the table and said with a smile, "Let's go, finish eating first, and then read the Wen Bao after dinner."
"Oh?" Lei Yuanding put down "The Holy Way" and looked at his cousin.
"There's nothing in the newspaper. It's not too late to read it after dinner." Lei Yuanting said.
Without saying a word, Lei Yuanding stood up and snatched the "Wen Bao" from Lei Yuanting.
"Comment on Lei Jiu's death: He deserved to die. Comment completed."
"… If everyone in our human race is as shameless as the Lei family, how can we successfully fight against the monsters? This incident may seem to endanger Fang Yun alone, but in fact it endangers the entire human race…"
Lei Yuanding read it carefully, gently placed the "Wen Bao" on the table, and said: "Papers should be handled with care. After all, they carry words and truths that are heavier than Mount Tai. It is too tired. We should treat paper well. You know my temper."
"You are a gentleman who will never let go of a grudge." Lei Yuanting said hurriedly. Almost no one in the Lei family was not afraid of Lei Yuanding. He was a genius, but he was also vindictive. Anyone who offended him would never have a good ending.
A Hanlin was forced into a literary war because he said that his mouth sounded like a woman's. The war broke out and he was so angry that he committed suicide.
"Stop flattering me. I just like to hear the wail of a defeated dog. Come with me to the Jingguo Academy. I want to see him in front of the Holy Temple and happily see him off."
"This... Most of the people there are from Jing Country. I heard that Lord Jianmei has also gone there. Aren't you afraid?"
"He doesn't dare to kill me, and he can't kill me!" Lei Yuanding's voice was full of confidence.
The upper residence of the academy, the Fang family.
There was a gentle knock on the study door, and Fang Daniu's voice came in.
"Master, the food is ready, and the morning editions of the Holy Word and the Literary News have been delivered."
Fang Daniu's voice sounded a little excited.
Fang Yun got up and went out, and found that Yang Yuhuan was still asleep. He recalled the beauty of last night and smiled slightly.
When he arrived at the dinner table, Fang Yun did not eat first, but opened the table of contents of "The Holy Way".
The front page is often left blank, but Fang Yun had been on the front page before with "Three Character Classic". Even the world-famous "Water Melody: When Will the Bright Moon Appear" failed to make it to the front page.
What matters on the front page is not artistic value but practical value.
The front page of today's "Holy Way" was not empty, it was the first sword-summoning poem of the human race, "Dragon Sword Poem", and the second page was "Jiangchengzi?Prison Dream", "White Horse Hero", "Lime Chant", "Bamboo and Stone" and other poems.
After reading the catalog of "The Holy Way", Fang Yun opened "Literary Newspaper" and laughed at the front page. There was a humorous headline on it.
"This issue of the Literary Newspaper is definitely not a special issue for Fang Yun. You will know it when you read to the end."
Fang Yun quickly browsed through the front page of the Wen Bao, and almost all of it was news related to him. It covered everything that had happened to Fang Yun since he left Denglongtai, including being jointly sued by the Lei family, being listed as an enemy of the aristocratic family by the Meng family, making friends with Ao Huang, becoming the ancestor of poetry, and the postponement of the virtual saint ceremony.
After reporting on Fang Yun's affairs, other matters were reported. Perhaps because the incident happened suddenly, even the "Holy Oracle of the Ancestors" and other matters only occupied a small space.
Above the Great Saint is the Ancestral God, who is equivalent to the saint of the human race. The importance of his oracle is self-evident, but the Wen Bao did not make a big fuss about it. Fang Yun knew that it did not want to cause excessive panic.
Fang Yun ate while reading "The Holy Way" and "Literary Newspaper". After dinner, he went back to his study.
It was two quarters past noon, which was 7:30 in the military time, when Fang Yun left the study room carrying his book box.
Yang Yuhuan was still sleeping soundly, and all the servants of the Fang family lined up in front of the door. The door was ajar, and the doorman and Fang Daniu had somewhat the same expression.
Fang Yun, wearing a black scholar's uniform and carrying a book box on his back, walked straight towards the gate.
"Hmm..."
Fang Yun looked in the direction of the sound and saw the little fox holding the inkstone turtle, sitting on the steps at the door of Fang Yun's bedroom. It was looking at Fang Yun with eyes full of nostalgia, and its eyes were actually a little moist.
Fang Yun smiled slightly and said, "After the trial, I will take you to Beijing Snack Street to eat delicious food." Then he turned around.
Nunu lowered his head, opened his mouth and bit the fox fur on his body, but he couldn't bite off even a single strand of fur. The places where the fur was connected were even bleeding, but he still bit hard.
Ao Huang followed Fang Yun and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the family. When your son or daughter is born, you can recognize me as the godfather. If anyone dares to harm your child, I'll kill him! And..."
Fang Yun listened to Ao Huang's nagging and walked to the door. Fang Daniu and the doorman opened the door together. Fang Yun stepped forward and stopped at the door.
There was a carriage parked outside the door, and there were tens of thousands of readers.
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, not understanding why so many people gathered in front of the door.
There were many purple-robed Confucian scholars such as the Minister of Literature Jiang Hechuan, Chen Mingding, and Zhang Hu, dozens of blue-robed university scholars, hundreds of white-robed Hanlin scholars, and thousands of Jinshi scholars. As for Juren, Xiucai, and Tongsheng, they were countless.
Most of the officials in the court were present, including many ministers from the faction of Prince Kang or the Left Prime Minister.
Zhao Hongzhuang was also there, and standing next to her was a woman dressed in black and wearing a veil.
Among all the purple-robed scholars, Fang Yun saw an old acquaintance.
Li Wenying.
Li Wenying had a smile on his face and looked extremely kind, but there was murderous intent deep in his eyes, as if he wanted to slaughter billions of lives. It was unknown who he hated so deeply.
Fang Yun guessed that the news of Moon Tree's Divine Punishment might have spread, otherwise these people would not have suddenly gathered here without making any noise. Moreover, there was no need to conceal it today.
Fang Yun's nose felt a little sore.
Jiang Hechuan was wearing a purple robe, a great scholar's uniform, with white hair and beard, which still hung loosely behind him. He smiled slightly and said slowly, "Let us take you on your way."
Many people suddenly had red eyes for no apparent reason.
Fang Yun had a thousand words in his mind, but in the end he just bowed and said, "Winter."
"Winter!"
"Winter..."
Tens of thousands of people hurriedly returned the greeting, the sound was deafening. (To be continued...)
