Chapter 101: Gambling on the Broken Wen Palace
"I don't believe that other saints won't stop it!"
"They are half-saints, saints have fallen. ”
"There is no end to it, and I believe that things will always turn around. ”
"Hopefully. Since Lord Feng went to find Jian Mei Gong, then Jian Mei Gong would definitely find a way to help Fang Yun. ”
"After all, Jianmei Gong is just a scholar, even if he becomes a great Confucian, he can't stop the Yasheng family. However, if the Imperial Examination Patrol of the Holy Academy is really going to break the rules, I'm afraid that Jian Mei Gong will not sit idly by. ”
Governor Dong said in a deep voice: "If there is really that day, there is no need for Jian Mei Gong to make a move. I will let him die on the spot. After that, I judged myself in front of the holy temple, so that the world would know the Tao, and the scholars of Jingguo should not be bullied!"
"Brother Dong Gaoyi!" Although the officials praised and admired, they were all sad in their hearts.
Jingguo is too weak.
By the river, Tong Li looked at everyone's joyful smiles, listened to the ubiquitous shouts, and a faint remorse appeared in his heart, but that trace of remorse was immediately torn apart by the thick humiliation, and the holy page was gone, but as the grandson of the famous family and the grandson of the Sanpin Shilang, he knelt and kowtowed to Fang Yun in public, which made him intolerable.
"Qingguo's waste!" Tong Li's deep voice squeezed out of his throat.
The imperial guard said: "The local officials will hold a banquet in Jinghai Tower to entertain the dragon boat participants, and my son-in-law will also go, so you can go too." ”
Tong Li didn't dare to refute at all, and with heavy steps, he moved to Jinghai Tower step by step, thinking about how to win back this gamble and avoid being insulted while walking.
Tong Li walked for a quarter of an hour before entering Jinghai Tower.
At this moment, the celebration banquet of Jinghailou has been held, and it is more grand than any previous year.
Those literati in Yuhai City already knew what Fang Yun said to Qian Juren, and everyone was moved, and all those who had been dissatisfied with Fang Yun before punished himself and apologized.
The most famous old literati in Yuhai City also came to toast and express their gratitude to Fang Yun, and the attitude of these famous elders was certain, and whoever dared to speak ill of Fang Yun needed to consider the consequences.
Those who were originally optimistic about Fang Yun were extremely pleased, from now on Fang Yun could gain a foothold in Yuhai City, if the people of Yuhai City had the ability to decide the quota of Shushan, even if Fang Yun didn't want it, they would force Fang Yun to do so.
Tong Li did not hesitate to splash the sewage on Fang Yun in his face, and not a drop was left in vain.
The people of Kyungkook sat at the same table as usual. In the celebration banquet a few years ago, the people of Yuhai City still toasted occasionally, and then ended hastily, but today, except for a few polite words from Dong Zhifu, no one came, and several Qingguo people drank wine together, if they were not afraid of being told that they could not afford to lose, they would have left a long time ago.
Especially Shi Dehong, while drinking, he looked at Fang Yun, who had been surrounded by people, and his eyes became redder and redder.
Yan Yukong slowly drank and ate, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.
Qingguo people are like flowers and plants in flower pots, they have completely become decorations, and even the mugwort and calamus of the Dragon Boat Festival are more eye-catching than them.
When the imperial guards appeared with Tong Li, Jinghailou quickly quieted down, some people sighed lightly, and some people stayed away, especially those who were jealous and hateful, and did not hide their disgust for Tong Li.
Tong Li's face was full of shame, not because he had done something wrong, but because he had lost.
Zhao Zhuzhen put down the wine glass and stood up, looked at Tong Li, and said, "Tong Li, now is the time for you to fulfill your promise." You said that if Fang Yun won the first place in the Dragon Boat Literary Association, you would not only offer a holy page with both hands, but also kowtow on the Longtou Bridge and bow down, and then give up this year's government exam, right?"
Tong Li lowered his head and didn't say a word.
"What, you have the audacity to slander Fang Yun, but now you don't have the courage to admit it?" Zhao Zhuzhen asked with a sneer.
Tong Li knows Zhao Zhuzhen's temper best, and he is optimistic that Qingguo has already committed her taboo, and if he repents in front of her, he will inevitably be humiliated even more. He gritted his teeth, faced Fang Yun, quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed violently, and then immediately stood up.
"Fang Yun, I was wrong! I will have someone present the holy page tonight, and I will also clarify the slander I had against you before, and at the same time give up this year's government exam!" Tong Li clenched his fists when he spoke, even if Fang Yun was full of endless hatred, he didn't dare to express it.
This is the case with that. Fang Yun nodded, although he didn't like Tong Li, but since Tong Li fulfilled the gambling contract, he would give up.
At this moment, laughter came from the table where the Qingguo people were.
"You are Tong Li, right? I just heard someone say that you want to compete for Maocai? With your guts, what can you use to compete for Maocai? I can conclude that if you can't win Fang Yun once in the future, your Wengong will be shaken, not to mention the examiner, and even Xiucai may not be able to win. The higher Fang Yun's achievements in the future, the more likely it is that your Wen Palace will collapse. If you give up the government test today, it is equivalent to giving up your ambition, and it is equivalent to giving up your holy path!"
"You ......" Tong Li glared at Shi Dehong angrily, his body shook, and then his complexion changed greatly, because his Wen Palace was shaken because of this.
Fang Yun didn't expect Shi Dehong to be so attentive, not only calculated Tong Li, but also counted him, immediately looked at Shi Dehong, and said coldly: "Why, the dragon boat race failed, and you want to harm me Jingguo people again, and use this to blame me? Do you think that just a few means can destroy his Wen Palace and make my Wen Palace dusty?"
Many people glared at Shi Dehong.
Shi Dehong smiled: "I'm just telling the truth." Zi said: Repay grievances with directness, and repay virtue with virtue. Although you Fang Yun tolerated him, he only thought that he had exchanged it for shame, and he didn't think it was your kindness, so naturally he wouldn't repay you with virtue. Since he thinks that you resent him, you must repay the grievances directly, that is, use what he thinks is the right means to settle the grievances between the two of you. Tong Li, am I wrong about what I said?"
No one on the side refuted, the same person was raised, and he had no strength to refute Shi Dehong, and he was very old when he became a jinshi.
Although many Qingguo people are dissatisfied, they also have to secretly sigh that this person is worthy of being a disciple of the poet, not only is he a great poet, but he is also very accurate in reading people, and he also points to the key point by quoting scriptures.
Fang Yun sighed lightly, knowing that this matter would not be good. If Tong Li is a jinshi, he may be able to refute Shi Dehong, but he is just a child, and he can't withstand Shi Dehong's bewitchment at all, and now unless there is a great Confucian who wakes up the world, no one can dispel the thoughts in Tong Li's heart.
Tong Li lowered his head, his hands were holding the bones softly, Shi Dehong's words said that in his heart, he still had a grudge against Fang Yun, he didn't dare to repay Fang Yun with resentment, and he couldn't repay his grievances with virtue, so he could only repay his grievances with straightforwardness.
Shi Dehong saw that Tong Li was deeply involved, and said with a smile: "Tong Li, you may not be as good as Fang Yun in the imperial examination, but you are from a famous family, you must learn all kinds of arts, and Shangshu Mountain has a huge advantage." In my opinion, you might as well gamble with Fang Yun again, not on the imperial examination, on the book mountain! The loser will shatter the Wen Palace, how about it?"
An old jinshi was furious: "Presumptuous! The old man sees that you are a junior, and allows you to talk nonsense, if you dare to harm my Jingguo literati again, the old man will behead you in Jinghai Tower!"
Many Jingguo literati were also angry, Shi Dehong could only be regarded as provoking before, but later he simply encouraged two people to kill each other, so the jinshi had an excuse to make a move.
Shi Dehong immediately shut up, he wouldn't give others a chance to kill him.
Tong Li raised his head suddenly, looked at Fang Yun and said: "Fang Yun, I admit that your poetry is the best in Jiangzhou children, please say that the holy words are the first in the world, I will never be as good as you in the government test." However, as Shi Gongzi said, I may not lose to you on the Book Mountain! I want to make another bet with you! You and I are on the Book Mountain, whoever climbs higher will be the winner! The loser will break the Wen Palace, how about it?"
Fang Yun looked at Tong Li quietly and said slowly: "Tong Li, you and I were originally innocent and innocent. If you don't want Maocai from Yuhai Mansion, you can tell me that I can go back to Dayuan Mansion to take the exam, but you first went to General Gan's house to slander me, and then spread the wind and rain all over the city, and finally let other children block me in the Academy of Literature, and it was you who personally cut off the road of negotiation between you and me. ”
"Today's Dragon Boat Festival, the first time we met, you spoke ill of you, and then forced me to go dragon boat racing, it was you who personally added a resentment to your heart! In the end, you counted everything on my head. You yourself have been broken by others, and your benevolence has been broken, don't implicate me! As a saint-former Xiucai, why do I want to gamble with you as a child in the Wengong Palace? Who gave you confidence! You have given up participating in this year's government examination, how can you take the Xiucai exam? If you fail to pass the Xiucai exam, how can you bet with me on the book mountain!"
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he calmly drank the tea.
Governor Dong said: "Tong Li, I am also an old acquaintance with Tong Shilang, and I know his temper very well. If you harm Fang Yun, he will definitely abolish you with his own hands. If Fang Yun lets your Wen Palace shatter, I'm afraid he will give up everything to avenge you. Your choice now is no longer your own future, but has a bearing on your entire Tong family! You must not be deceived by others and lose your mind!"
Zhao Zhuzhen said contemptuously: "Back then, when you were in the capital, I only thought you were a talented gentleman, but now I know that you are a straw bale who doesn't know how to advance or retreat!"
Tong Li's face flushed, and his mind was shaken again.
Shi Dehong said suddenly: "Fang Yun, you said that just a child is not worthy of gambling with you on the Broken Wen Palace, so how about I raise someone to bet with you?"
Everyone stared at Shi Dehong deadly, and several Jinshi were ready to kill him with words and swords as soon as he made any more harmful remarks.
Fang Yun looked at Shi Dehong and said, "Oh, Shi Juren means that as long as I climb higher than Tong Li in Shushan, you will break the Wen Palace?"
Shi Dehong smiled and said, "Of course not." You bet with Tong Li, and I will bet with you at the same time, but the conditions for you and I are different. I entered the Book Mountain after being admitted to the Xiucai Examination that year, broke through the third pavilion of the second mountain, and stepped into the first pavilion of the third mountain. My condition is that if you can surpass me and step into the second pavilion of the third mountain, then I will break the Wen Palace by myself, if you can't, then you will break the Wen Palace by yourself, how about it? Ladies and gentlemen of Jingguo, I am not harming him, right? I bet on him to show off his talent in the Wen Palace, and he took a big advantage!"
"Fang Yun, do you dare to bet, do you dare to let me participate in this year's government exam?" Tong Li shouted......
Tomorrow the book will be on the shelves, and it will break out one after another.
