One order after another came from the elders' meeting of the four major families, Zongsheng, Lei, Meng and Sima Gong, carefully inquiring about the situation of their own family members.
Soon, the elders of the four major families will receive feedback.
The Sima family was not the main force in the counterattack against Fang Yun, but they had close relations with the Lei family and the Zong family. Most people benefited and there were no other losses.
The three major families, Zong, Lei and Meng, are at odds with the Fang family, and almost no one benefits from it. What's more terrifying is that all the scholars from the main family to the side branches of these three families, as long as they are on the family tree of the three families, have not appeared in the vortex of literary talent!
Tens of millions of scholars formed a vortex of literary talents, but the scholars from these three families were not among them!
"You thief! You insulted my Lei family!" An elder of the Lei family slammed the table.
The Meng family was filled with curses.
Only the Zong family is relatively calm because the Zong Saint is still alive. As long as the Zong Saint is there, nothing is a problem.
If the Zongsheng can really become the Sub-Sage, the people of the Zongsheng family will definitely obtain a large number of additional imperial examination admission quotas at one time, and there will also be fixed additional admission quotas every year thereafter. This is one of the biggest advantages of the Sub-Sage family and the Confucius family.
However, worse news came from the three families one after another.
The scholars of these three families learned that other scholars had literary whirlpools, and some scholars had problems with their literary palaces, with cracks appearing at the least and their literary palaces collapsing at the worst.
The elders' meetings of the three families were in deathly silence.
There are too many scholars in the three major families, numbering in the tens of thousands. The minds of scholars are far inferior to those of high-ranking scholars. Once their understanding of the holy way, the family, and their own future and other aspects have a huge conflict, the Wen Palace will inevitably have problems.
These scholars doubt whether their family’s and their own persistence are correct!
There is no literary talent to alleviate or dispel this suspicion, which is extremely deadly.
Afterwards, the three major families tried their best to block the news and prohibited it from spreading within the family.
Once this news spreads, even if there is no problem with the Wen Palace, those scholars will become depressed and depressed, which will affect their future positions.
However, the news of the problems in the three major families soon spread to all the holy families through the medium of carrier pigeons, and then spread downward layer by layer.
When everyone in the Xun family learned the news, they were all horrified and rushed to investigate the scholars of the Xun family. In the end, they found that 90% of the scholars had formed a vortex of literary talent, but the scholars from the second and third branches of the Xun family and the fourth branch who were exiled to the ancient land of the deserted city did not have the vortex of literary talent.
The Xun family's main house was not affected.
In the clan elders' meeting, Mr. Xun Er and Mr. Xun San sat on their chairs in a daze.
It was nothing for the two of them to have no literary talent. With the resources of the sub-sage family, it was enough for them to easily pass the imperial examination and gather literary talent after becoming an imperial examinee. But the scary thing was that if something happened to their descendants, they would be implicated in a very serious crime.
Immoral.
Benevolence and virtue have always been placed side by side, and lack of virtue means unkindness.
Although the Xun family follows the path of propriety instead of benevolence, they are accused of being unkind and will never be able to compete for the position of head of the family in their lifetime.
After this incident, the Xun family members were more certain that the dispute over the head of the Xun family was settled.
More than half of the elders at the clan meeting shook their heads and sighed.
“Who would have thought that the battle for the position of Patriarch of a dignified sub-sage family would be decided by a Jinshi because of a useless scholar.”
"He was just a scholar at that time."
"Now it's a virtual saint."
"Fortunately, my nephew Xun Yong had foresight. He did not back down in the face of the heavy pressure from the entire clan, and insisted on opposing the whole clan's power to target Fang Yun. If even my nephew was blinded by the hatred of Fang Yunwen suppressing an entire state, the nearly a thousand years of wisdom of our Xun family would be destroyed in an instant."
Many elders expressed fear, the Xun family is not the shameless Lei family, nor is it the notorious Meng family, nor is it the Zong family that has a great conflict with Fang Yun, but a dignified sub-saint family!
If the scholars of the Yasheng family cannot gather literary courage in fifty years, the old patriarch will be angry to death, and the people of the Xun family will not be able to hold their heads up in the future, and will inevitably be completely suppressed by the Mengzi family.
"Fortunately, fortunately..."
In the ancient land of the deserted city, where the fourth branch of the direct line of the Xun family lived, many people vomited blood.
After leaving the Holy Ruins, Xun Ye's literary courage was shattered by Fang Yun. He used the Xun family's magical objects to repair himself, but it shattered again.
When a general in front of the Fengtian Hall of the Jingguo Palace read out the newly received letter, the left prime minister's party was terrified.
A good friend of the Minister of Literature looked at the Minister of the Left, Liu Shan, and then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Fang Yun is too bad, this is simply a plan to wipe out the whole family! If I am not mistaken, from now on, once a student of the human race becomes a scholar, he will immediately obtain the vortex of literary courage, just like when the Lip Gun and the Sword appeared, all the scholars of the human race could immediately conceive swords. However, those families that vigorously attacked and opposed the famous families, no one obtained the Lip Gun and the Sword within fifty years, and their vitality was greatly damaged. Some aristocratic families have even declined to this day because of this."
"It seems that the scholars from the Meng family, the Zong family and the Lei family will receive the same treatment. The God of Literature has eyes!" an official echoed.
"The human race should be united, but if someone kills each other, they will definitely pay the price. This is a warning to future generations." Sai Shilang said.
Many officials spoke one after another, and finally, a Hanlin and two Jinshi could no longer stand it. They did not dare to offend the Left Prime Minister, but were also afraid that something might happen to their own literary advisors and palace officials, so they announced their resignations one after another.
All three were close confidants of the Left Prime Minister, one was even his student, and all of them held important positions. Among them, the Hanlin served as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works.
Ji Zhibai watched his old friend leave without saying a word, his mouth tightly shut, and one of his teeth was broken.
After a while, the sound of the ritual music chimes disappeared, and the chimes also dissipated.
The canonization of the Void Saint was finally completed, and the sky gradually faded.
It was still noon and the sun was high in the sky, but everyone felt as if they were in another world. The ceremony of canonizing the Virtual Saint was so shocking.
Fang Yun’s Wen Palace also rose to a height of dozens of miles, and slowly descended after the dark sky dissipated.
Fang Yun had no mind to look at the view in the sky, because all his attention was focused on the column of smoke.
With his extraordinary talent and original talent, Fang Yun had four smoke columns, but on the leftmost smoke column, there was a bronze tripod with three legs and two ears. The tripod was rusty, like an ancient artifact that had been passed down for billions of years, and it exuded a desolate atmosphere.
There is an oracle bone inscription on the ancient tripod.
poetry.
"This... I have never heard of this thing. I don't know if it can be leaked. I'd better keep it secret for a while and look for it in books. If I have a chance to meet Chen Sheng or Dong Sheng in the future, I will ask them. This thing must have a name, let's call it the Poetry Tripod. I just don't know what it is used for."
Fang Yun quietly observed the Shi Ding. The word "Shi" on it was protruding on the surface, and it was positive text. Except for the word "Shi", the rest of the place was covered by rust and nothing could be seen.
The talent flowed upward at a very fast speed, and the top just hit the Shi Ding. The talent seemed to be able to wash away the rust and restore the Shi Ding to its original appearance.
Fang Yun discovered that the top of the word "诗" was radiating light and spreading downwards. It seemed that the entire word "诗" would glow soon.
Fang Yun tried to communicate with Shi Ding, but got no response.
"Never mind. You'll know what this is later."
Fang Yun thought to himself and looked at his literary advisor.
Under the influence of the ritual and music chimes, Wen Dan has reached the peak of the second realm! (To be continued...)
