Fang Yun was reading the letters and replying to his friends. After finishing most of the letters, he received a reminder from Qiao Juze and remembered that there was a very important literary meeting today.
Jingguo is located in the north of Shengyuan Continent. The spring outside the city in the first month is freezing and cold. There are no buds or new branches in the forest, and there are no busy farmers in the farmland, but there is already a light green in the city.
For scholars who value talents and literary names, spring is an excellent season, representing the germination of all things, getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, and a better start.
Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the day of the Jinshi Spring Hunt, Lantern Festival cultural gatherings are held in various places.
Every year on the day after the Ten Kingdoms Spring Hunt ends, that is, on the night of the 18th day of the first lunar month, early spring literary gatherings will be held in various places, which will also kick off the spring literary gatherings. From this day until the beginning of summer, scholars who have been silent all winter begin to active.
Because the spring rain affects the harvest of the year, rain praying festivals are held continuously every year in various places, resulting in the proliferation of literary festivals and becoming a spring scene of the human race, which has lasted for hundreds of years without interruption.
Around the time of the Early Spring Cultural Meeting is the beginning of the "rain" in the twenty-four solar terms. This solar term affects the precipitation in the ten countries except the north, and also affects the yield of crops in each country. Therefore, the annual Early Spring Cultural Meeting is of great significance and is often set in In the palace, the king personally presides over the ceremony and prays to the sky for rain to show respect to the sky.
Even if it doesn't rain that day, the ministers of various countries will mobilize the power of the temple to make it rain in the capital, which represents God's answer to the king's prayer.
The capital is located in the north, and there is no rain in the first month. It usually doesn’t rain until February, but early spring cultural gatherings are still held on this day.
Fang Yun originally did not want to participate in the Early Spring Literary Conference, but every year before the Early Spring Literary Conference, the capitals of various countries would commend the Jinshi who participated in the Spring Hunting, and then let a new Jinshi write a poem on behalf of the Spring Hunting Jinshi.
Fang Yun has long been designated as the person to present poems. If it were anyone else, not to mention whether the selected person would dare to come on stage, tens of thousands of scholars participating in the literary conference would not agree.
After Fang Yun had dinner at noon, he stayed with his family for another hour. Just started learning.
Since Fang Yun passed the Tongsheng Examination, he has hardly had a complete rest and has been studying every moment.
Near evening, Fang Yuncai got into his own Longma luxury car and took Yang Yuhuan, Su Xiaoxiao, Nunu in his arms, Ao Huang, and Xiao Meteor behind him, to the palace.
As soon as the dragon and horse came out, all the carriages on the road stopped, whether they were ordinary cows and horses or dragon-horse armored cows. They were all frightened by the aura of the dragon and horse, and no matter how hard the driver tried to drive them, they could not move.
Fang Yun listened to the constant "drive" sounds and felt very helpless. He couldn't control this kind of thing, because the dragon and horse themselves couldn't control their aura, and they were not real dragons like Ao Huang. If it weren't for an important occasion like the early spring cultural gathering, he would definitely not take the Longma luxury car.
In the carriage, Ao Huang looked at Fang Yun eagerly and begged: "Fang Xusheng. Give Benlong a poem? Let Benlong Niu come back! At the last Spring Festival cultural gathering, Benlong was so unlucky. Just now. After reading your poem, I met the Li family and punished the Lei family. No one praised me at all. Let me go for you this time."
"When we get to the palace, if you still want to read poetry on my behalf. Just go."
Ao Huang blinked, hesitating as he remembered how he almost got hacked to death while trying to grab the Night Pearl in the palace.
The family talked and laughed along the way. Yang Yuhuan occasionally opened the curtains to look out the window, but once she was discovered, she immediately lowered the curtains, not wanting to be seen by outsiders.
On the other hand, Ao Huang always likes to go out with a shy face against the curtains, laughing and joking for a while, and it is very useful to see the shocked expressions of everyone.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the little fox clung to Fang Yun desperately and kept lying in Fang Yun's arms, refusing to leave no matter how hard he tried to persuade her.
When the car arrived at the street where the palace is located, the traffic slowed down obviously because there were too many people coming to the palace today, including relatives of the emperor, civil and military officials, scholars from the capital, etc., and it was packed all the way.
Fortunately, the only carriages transported in the entire capital are pure-blood dragon horse-drawn carriages. No horses dare to drive on the road, and it is relatively smooth even on crowded roads.
Arriving in front of the palace, Fang Yun, as usual, held Yang Yuhuan's hand when getting off the carriage. He waited until Yang Yuhuan got off the station and stabilized before looking towards the palace.
In front of you is the palace moat, and beyond that is a square. Before the time came, the square was filled with guests attending the cultural conference.
The main entrance and the left and right gates of the palace were closed tightly.
As soon as Fang Yun appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people present.
"Fang Xusheng is here!"
"It's really Fang Xusheng!"
The people who were excited about chatting shut their mouths and looked at Fang Yun together.
Ninety-nine percent of the eyes had a hint of unprecedented fanaticism!
Fang Yun not only made Jingguo the first in the Spring Hunting List of the Ten Kingdoms, not only broke the previous record, but also defeated the nine countries with one country, with more rankings than all the countries combined. This is a strange thing that has never happened in any era. .
The sealing order on the hunting ground was only to prevent accidents. After verification in the Palace of Punishment, some things were gradually lifted. For example, it was widely known that Fang Yun wrote the Five Wonderful Medical Books on the hunting ground, but the fact that he obtained the disease scriptures was kept secret.
For example, Fang Yun and the Scholars of the Ten Kingdoms teamed up to kill the clone of the Plague Lord, but the details were not announced.
The Half-Saint King Jinglong spoke personally, and any doubts were firmly suppressed. No one would be bold enough to question what the Half-Saint himself said.
If the Ten Kingdoms Competition is about comparing the literary merits of young scholars from each country, then the Jinshi Spring Hunt is about comparing the military merits of the new generation from each country.
At least in this year, Jingguo will be able to call itself a powerful human nation!
In the 200 years since the founding of Jingguo, this has never happened before!
Fang Yun was accustomed to everyone's performance, so he bowed his hands to everyone and continued to move forward.
The left is respected, so in previous years' early spring literary conferences, important figures would enter through the left door, and other people would enter through the right door. The main entrance in the middle would never be opened. The early spring cultural conference could not allow the palace to open its main entrance. .
Fang Yun led his family to the left door and walked to the left. People on the road moved out of the way and greeted him constantly.
"Thank you Fang Xusheng for making me feel proud!"
"The pillar of the country, the leader of the human race!"
"The casino started betting on the ranking of various countries in the Jinshi Spring Hunt. Although I lost tens of thousands of taels of silver, I lost happily! I really hope to lose every year!"
"Thank you Fang Xusheng for correcting my Jingguo literary name!"
Yang Yuhuan and Nunu were happy, and Ao Huang was also extremely happy, thinking that these people were discerning, unlike those idiots who only scolded Fang Yun.
In front of Zuoye Gate, a group of people with the highest status in the cultural society gathered.
However, except for the Minister of Literature who had to attend, no great Confucianists came, mostly academicians and Hanlin officials.
The twenty-nine people who participated in the Jinshi Spring Hunting had already arrived early and were standing in front of Zuoye Gate. As the great heroes of Jingguo, their status today is comparable to that of a bachelor.
However, among these people, there are four middle-aged Jinshis who are different. Even though the four of them are still wearing Jinshi uniforms, the aura exuding around them surpasses all Jinshis!
Because the four of them have been promoted to Hanlin!
This is also one of the main reasons for everyone's crazy attention!
Fang Yun can actually allow people who have stayed in the Jinshi position for many years to be promoted. This ability is as sacred as a god, and should be worshiped in Shengyuan Continent! (To be continued...)
