The importance of literary courage is second only to talent. If a person has strong literary courage, his promotion speed will far exceed that of his peers!
There were thirty-four Hanlin scholars present, but less than three of them were promoted to Grand Secretaries, which was already a large proportion, because these Hanlin scholars were the best among the Hanlin scholars of Jing State. With the ritual and music chimes, everyone's literary courage would be enhanced, and the number of these Hanlin scholars who were promoted to Grand Secretaries would reach at least six!
As for the Jinshi officials present, originally only one or two out of ten could be promoted to Hanlin, but now at least double that number!
Suddenly, the Minister of Literature, holding the official seal in his hand, said in surprise: "This is a sign of the great prosperity of the human race! The ritual and music chimes are playing, and all the scholars have a whirlpool of literary courage!"
"What!" Dozens of officials screamed in unison, unable to believe it.
A great scholar once said that the real difference between people of high literary status and those of low literary status is not the mind or wisdom, but the will and the ability to control oneself. Generally speaking, people of high literary status, except for a very small number of geniuses that ordinary people cannot reach, have terrible self-control and firm will, and can accomplish everything they should do or want to do.
The reason why some people with the same mindset advance and some stay is simply because the latter have not done what they should have done more or done more, or even done nothing, not because they are inferior to others.
Literary courage is a spiritual force unique to the human race, and is the embodiment of the human spirit and will.
If a person has a goal, once he slacks off a little, his literary advisor will remind him and influence him secretly to continue to achieve the goal.
When a person encounters a sad thing or suffers a blow and becomes depressed, Wendan will immediately help him get out of the shadow.
The stronger the literary talent, the less chance a scholar will take a detour.
However, the literary advisor is not omnipotent. Once the scholar sets a wrong goal, the literary advisor will work towards this goal.
A literary advisor only has execution ability, not decision-making ability.
Even if the literary talent has some flaws, it will still be of great benefit to the scholar.
Jing State originally only accepted thirty juren, and the number of places was fixed.
However, if the performance of the 30th scholar is taken as the standard, anyone who reaches his level can become a juren. This year there are only 30, but next year there will be at least 200 scholars in one state who can reach this level!
In another year, this number will exceed 400, because the literary advisors are still working.
The earlier the Wendan is obtained, the stronger the learning ability of the scholar will be and the more mature his behavior will be. After years of accumulation, the scholars of the human race will become stronger and stronger, and then the Juren will naturally become stronger and stronger, and so on and so forth, and the entire human race will become stronger and stronger.
Every official present knew the benefits of having a scholar as a literary advisor, and they were all ecstatic, except for the left prime minister and his party.
Whether it is the war poems of the heavenly evolution or the ritual music chimes, they are all born because of Fang Yun. They appear for Fang Yun. Anyone who regards Fang Yun as an enemy will naturally not be able to gain any benefit.
Ji Zhibai clenched his fists tightly, his hands were about to break, he knew that taking Fang Yun as his enemy would result in certain losses, but he never expected the losses to be so great!
Ji Zhibai's hands were shaking slightly. He had originally surpassed all the Shangshe Jinshi except Fang Yun, but he was afraid that in less than a month, the strength of the other Shangshe Jinshi would be equal to his, and Qiao Juze might even surpass him!
Pang Hanlin, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, suddenly bowed to the Left Prime Minister Liu Shan and said, "I have received the kindness of Mr. Liu, and I cannot repay it in three lifetimes. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay you. Fang Wenhou has been named a virtual saint. He has the talent to rule the world and the virtue to benefit the people. He is truly a role model for our race. In my heart, the two of you are equal. However, I have been the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel for many years. As I get older, I gradually feel that I am unable to do my job. Today, in front of all the officials and the Queen Mother, I petition to retire. I hope Mr. Liu will grant my wish."
The officials present were all good at guessing people's hearts. When Pang Hanlin said this, everyone immediately understood that Pang Hanlin was trying to impact the Grand Secretary, not only to get rid of the left prime minister, but also to get rid of the officialdom of Jing State. Only in this way can he get the gift of ritual and music chimes. If Fang Yun creates another amazing phenomenon in the future, he will get more benefits.
The Minister of Personnel and the left and right vice ministers were all the backbone of the Left Prime Minister, but now, Fang Yun had dug a big hole in the Ministry of Personnel!
For the Left Prime Minister’s party, none of the previous losses were as great as today’s!
Those who left in the past were either of low rank or not Liu Shan’s confidants. But today is different. The Right Vice Minister Pang Huan is not only a Hanlin, not only the third person in the Ministry of Personnel, but also Liu Shan’s confidant who has been cultivated for nearly thirty years!
Ji Zhibai cursed: "Old thief Pang Huan! If it weren't for my mentor..."
"Shut up!" Liu Shan shouted softly, his left fist clenched tightly, but his expression was unusually calm.
Ji Zhibai immediately realized that he had spoken out of turn. Pang Huan had made it very clear that neither side would help each other in the future. For the sake of the title of Grand Secretary, he would rather give up his future as a civil servant.
If Liu Shan retaliates against Pang Huan, as long as the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister protect him, Pang Huan will at most be dismissed. After all, he is a Hanlin and has status in the Holy Academy. The result will inevitably be a sharp drop in Liu Shan's prestige, which will make the Left Prime Minister's party feel disgusted.
If Liu Shan were to resort to extreme means to retaliate regardless of the consequences, the Zuo Xiang party members who were originally in awe of him would lose their "respect" and only be left with fear, which would be extremely disadvantageous.
What's more, once the two sides fell out, Pang Huan, as the third person in the Ministry of Personnel, would definitely have something to hold against other members of the Left Prime Minister's party, even if he did not have any black material against the Left Prime Minister.
If Liu Shan did not take revenge on Pang Huan, someone would definitely leave him and join Fang Yun for the sake of literary status.
Now that someone wants to leave, Liu Shan has no way to stop him, at most he can just slightly hinder them. The only way to reduce the loss is to treat the remaining members of the Left Prime Minister's Party with favor.
The left prime minister nodded gently and said, "I have known you for thirty years and I know you very well. Since you are not interested in the court, you can go somewhere else and fight for the human race after you have rested for a while."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Liu!" Pang Huan bent down 90 degrees to thank Liu Shan.
Ji Zhibai looked at Liu Shan and suddenly discovered that his mentor had more white hair on his temples and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deeper. Thinking of his mentor's kindness to him, he felt a pain in his heart.
"Fang thief, I can't stand with you!"
The Queen Mother asked, "My dear Pang, do you really want to retire?"
"I have thought it through. I hope the Queen Mother will grant my approval."
"Forget it. Everyone has their own aspirations. I cannot force you to stay. Okay." The Queen Mother's voice was unusually steady. She did not show any joy, nor did she pretend to regret.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Pang Huan bowed to the Queen Mother and the Left Prime Minister, then turned and left.
Everyone looked at Pang Huan's back. Suddenly, a crisp voice came from Pang Huan's head.
Pang Huan's literary talent entered the second realm ahead of time.
The officials were stunned, but they soon figured out the whole story. The ritual and music chimes alone would never allow Pang Huan to break through the second realm, but this time he completely left the court and left the left prime minister, and his state of mind changed drastically. He should have seen through a lot of things, and by chance, he broke through the second realm.
As long as a Hanlin who reaches the second level of Wendan is not dead, he will definitely become a Grand Secretary within ten years, without exception!
The officials were all moved, this is what it means to give up and gain.
But not everyone is willing to do so.
"As expected of Saint Fang Xu, we have added a new Grand Secretary to our race."
Xun family of Qing State.
Everyone fell into silence.
Suddenly, a Jinshi shouted, "Whoever wants to oppose Fang Yun can do so. I won't accompany you! It's not shameful for the Xun family's peers to lose to Xu Sheng!"
Many members of the Xun family suddenly understood after hearing this, thinking, that's right, Fang Yun is already a virtual saint, if you lose to him, you lose, why bother? Xunzi did say that there is a difference between the noble and the humble, but Fang Yun is now noble and powerful, no longer the poor boy, but a virtual saint!
