Chapter 141: The Holy Confucian is punished to serve as a warning to others!
The scene suddenly became quiet, and the thoughts of the two semi-saints came across the area one after another, overwhelming the soldiers and horses of the two countries' armies without even daring to breathe.
Ke Changyi was scared to death. He clearly felt that he had been locked by Fan Qianfeng's saint power.
Even though he is a great scholar in Confucianism and Taoism, if a semi-sage wants to kill him, Ke Yufeng's semi-sage power spanning hundreds of thousands of miles will not be able to stop his country's Fan Qianfeng's holy power!
"The power of the Half-Saint is too strong. In front of Fan Saint, we are as weak as ants."
Du Ning sighed in his heart. To sum it up in one sentence, all saints are ants.
Semi-saints have the power to turn things around and turn the world upside down!
Even though there is only one difference between a great scholar and a semi-sage, their strength is vastly different.
It is precisely because of this that it is extremely difficult to break through the bottleneck of a great scholar becoming a semi-saint. This is also the reason why people who become semi-saints are so rare.
The power of Confucianism and Taoism in this world far exceeds Du Ning's imagination.
"Uncle, save me! For the sake of being part of the Ke family, please save me!"
Ke Changyi shouted for help and panicked.
"Please uncle, save my brother's life!"
Ke Changyuan also begged that Ke Changyi should not die, otherwise the Ke family would suffer a tragic blow.
"Brother Fan, Chang Yi is certainly at fault, but after all, he is Ke's nephew. Ke cannot refuse to save him. I beg Brother Fan to spare his life, because Ke owes you a favor." p>
Ke Yufeng's voice sounded, old and strong, with a sincere request in his tone.
The Ke family was so angry that their faces were red and their eyes were splitting. The half-sage of the Ke family actually begged Fan Qianfeng for Ke Changyi and called himself "Ke" instead of "the saint". This is really a shame!
What is even more unbelievable is Ke Changyi. He does not believe that the half-saint of the Ke family would actually lower his profile in front of the half-saint of the Yun Kingdom.
At this moment, Ke Changyi knew that even if he could survive, his reputation would be ruined and he would become the most shameful scholar in the entire Ke family.
"When the barbarians and Xiongnu attacked the Yun Kingdom, I didn't take action. When the prairie people attacked the Western Regions, I didn't take action. Even when your Liao army occupied the city of the Yun Kingdom, I still didn't take action. Ke Yufeng, this time it's you.
You force me to take action. I am still in the world, and I cannot tolerate you slapping me in the face."
Fan Qianfeng called him by his first name, already showing the anger in his heart. The seriousness of the situation has exceeded everyone's imagination.
People in Liao dared not speak out when they were angry, but the Ke family felt very aggrieved.
"Fan Sheng calmed down, the students were also reckless..."
Ke Changyi wanted to admit his mistake, but Fan Qianfeng directly blocked his voice with holy power. No matter how he defended himself, no one could hear what he was saying.
Ke Changyi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he already regretted it.
If he had known this earlier, he should not have come to Yun Country.
Now, his life depends on Fan Qianfeng's thoughts. This is a reality he cannot accept.
"I sincerely ask Brother Fan to be considerate of the fact that Ke Changyi is a great scholar of the human race."
Ke Yufeng still lowered his body and asked for Fan Qianfeng.
"Even if the Great Confucian should care about the human race and have the world in mind, why did Ke Changyi assist the Liao army in back-stabbing the Yun Kingdom to occupy the city in the Western Region? Is this act the work of a great Confucian of the human race? Don't we, the people of the Yun Kingdom, have human blood?
Huh? In my opinion, Ke Changyi is not a great Confucian of the human race, but a great Confucian of the Ke family."
Fan Qianfeng's words are also reasonable and well-founded. If he is a "great scholar of the human race", even if he is a semi-saint, he will measure his contribution to the human race, because from the overall perspective, the "great scholar of the human race" is for the human race, even if he is
It is understandable to make some mistakes for the sake of the human race.
But Ke Changyi does not meet the definition of "a great scholar of the human race" because his actions are only for the Liao Kingdom and the Ke family, not for the entire human race.
If it were for the entire human race, it would be absolutely impossible for Ke Changyi to do such a thing.
Ke Changyi's eyes widened with anger, unable to bear Fan Qianfeng's definition of him as a "great Confucian of the Ke family", which meant that he was only a great Confucian of the Ke family and could not even be called a "great Confucian of the Liao Kingdom".
As a great scholar from a semi-sage family, he is actually just a "great scholar of the Ke family". This is simply more uncomfortable than killing Ke Changyi.
Ke Changyuan, Qin Wentai and others couldn't help lowering their heads. They were angrily shouting filial piety in their hearts, wanting to hold their heads high and not lose their spine in front of the people of Yun Kingdom.
But no matter how hard they try, they can't get themselves to raise their heads again.
"My nephew has done something wrong and deserves to be punished."
Ke Yufeng said slowly: "I want to reduce his Confucianism and his literary courage to set an example to others. Are you convinced by my nephew Chang Yi?"
Chief Ke was struck like a thunderbolt, but Ke Yufeng unexpectedly punished him in front of the two armies and admitted that he was wrong.
Qin Wentai and Ke Changyuan were horrified. They reduced their Confucian status and their literary courage. This was the most severe punishment for a great Confucian!
What was most difficult for them to accept was that the half-saint of the Ke family personally punished him.
"Uncle, I..."
Ke Changyi clenched his fists, unable to believe that he would face such a severe punishment.
Looking at the sages of the Ke family, no great Confucian would be stripped of his Confucian position and lose his literary courage.
"Ahem..."
Ke Changyi was so angry that he vomited blood. He suddenly looked much older and his body could not stop shaking.
"Nephew, are you convinced?" Ke Yufeng spoke again.
"Brother Chang Yi is right, why should we punish him? I don't accept it!"
Ke Changyuan said loudly: "Everything Brother Chang Yi did was for the Liao Kingdom and our Half-Saint Family. What's wrong? It's all the Yun Kingdom's fault. They led troops to attack us. Uncle Sheng
How can you be so indiscriminate?"
"Then I ask you, uncle, why did the Yun Kingdom attack you?" Ke Yufeng asked.
"This...this...this..."
Ke Changyuan wanted to answer, but he hesitated.
He knew whether the Liao Kingdom's occupation of the cities in the Western Region was fair and just.
Being able to occupy Yun Kingdom's territory without spending a single soldier was the strategy proposed by Ke Changyuan. He took advantage of the grassland tribe's retreat to occupy it first.

If such words were spoken, Ke Changyuan believed that even if Fan Qianfeng killed him, his uncle would not be able to even say a word of begging for mercy.
"Changyuan, stop talking!"
Seeing his younger brother in danger, Ke Changyi could only stand up, raised his head and said, "Uncle, my nephew is willing to be punished!"
Ke Changyi had no choice. If he did not obey the punishment, Ke Yufeng would not be able to save his life.
"That's good!"
When Ke Yufeng's holy power dropped, he only heard the sound of "Kacha". Ke Changyi's bile was shattered, his seven orifices were bleeding, and he was completely unrecognizable.
His talents overflowed, and he fell from the realm of a great Confucian to the realm of a great scholar.
Ke Changyi was obviously in pain, but he didn't say a word.
We can’t lose face as a scholar of the Ke family in front of Ke Yufeng!
"Brother Chang Yi!"
Ke Changyuan couldn't help crying, feeling extremely regretful.
"I have personally punished this unscrupulous young man, and I beg Brother Fan to spare his life."
Ke Yufeng asked Fan Qianfeng three times.
At this moment, the corners of Ke Changyi's mouth raised slightly, showing a slightly relieved smile.
The Half Saint Sanqing asked Fan Qianfeng to give him some face no matter what, not to mention that he had already been punished.
If he can save his life, Ke Changyi will not lose too badly.
"Mr. Ke, you deal with your clan members according to family law. That is a matter between your family. Fan has no right to interfere. Fan is just confused. Is it your Ke family's family law or our Yun country's national law?
Can the family law of your Ke family replace the national law of the Yun Kingdom to decide the life and death of a criminal? Or do you want to replace the Mu family royal family as the lord of the Yun Kingdom? Mr. Ke, this is the Yun Kingdom. This is your first time.
I can understand that you intervened to save Ke Changyi, but if you want to overstep your authority to enforce the laws of the Yun Kingdom with the laws of the Ke family, I can only have a good argument with you in the Shangshengyuan."
Fan Qianfeng's tone is calm, but there is a hidden meaning behind every sentence.
If the semi-saints from all countries have conflicts, they can enter the court hall of the Holy Court to discuss, and the saints from all countries will judge together.
"This..."
Ke Yufeng's tone was trembling. He was right to punish Ke Changyi, but he was wrong because this was the Western Region, and it still belonged to the Yun Kingdom.
Exercising the power of national law according to family law is the greatest insult to Yun State and the greatest attack on Fan Qianfeng's reputation.
I, Fan Qianfeng, haven’t died yet, so Yun Guolun needs you to tell me what to do?
If it was for the sake of the human race, Fan Qianfeng could let Ke Yufeng come and go as he pleased.
But Ke Yufeng was interceding for Ke Changyi and for the great scholar in his family, so he was not allowed to do anything that overstepped the sacred authority.
What's more, Fan Qianfeng has tolerated Ke Yufeng twice without having an attack, which can be said to have given Ke Yu a cover.
From the point of view of "propriety", Fan Qianfeng has done everything he can to be benevolent and righteous.
If there is a third time, the Holy Court will immediately send out saints without Fan Qianfeng taking action.
Because if the Holy Court did not come forward to mediate, Fan Qianfeng would dare to attack Ke Yufeng.
Fan Qianfeng's actions for a country can mobilize the power of the national movement to attack Ke Yufeng.
But Ke Yufeng knew that he was in the wrong, and his pure saintly literary courage would never allow him to fight back, so he would not be able to gain the blessing of national fortune to fight against Fan Qianfeng.
In this way, Ke Yufeng will definitely not be able to beat Fan Qianfeng when he is in the wrong.
Ke Yufeng was silent for a moment, knowing that he could no longer touch Yun Guo's bottom line, and said slowly: "May I ask Brother Fan, how do you plan to deal with my useless nephew?"
"Kill him and set an example to others." Fan Qianfeng said.
Ke Changyi was almost furious. Although he had been severely punished, Fan Qianfeng was still unwilling to spare him.
Then wasn’t his punishment in vain?
Ke Changyi wanted to beg for mercy, but everything he said was muted, and no one could listen to his sophistry.
In desperation, Ke Changyi could only bow deeply and continuously in the direction of Yun Kingdom's capital.
Fan Qianfeng still ignored it.
"Brother Fan, although my nephew made a big mistake, his crime will not lead to death."
"Should the tens of thousands of heroes of our Yun Kingdom who died protecting our country have their dignity trampled on by your Liao army?"
Fan Qianfeng said: "Brother Ke, you and I have known each other for many years. You know the nature of this saint. I will never care about a trivial matter. But you must also know that I am the saint of the Yun Kingdom. When it comes to the positions of the two countries,
, there are some face and favors that I cannot give you.”
As soon as the words fell, a white light flashed across the neck of Ke Changyi, who was bowing, and his head fell to the ground with a "Hugh" sound.
There was no scream, and no blood flowed out, as if what Fan Qianfeng killed was just a wooden man.
"Brother!"
Ke Changyuan knelt on the ground with a plop, filled with grief and anger.
I thought that Ke Yufeng would be able to save Ke Changyi's life by punishing Ke Changyi.
But in the end, Ke Changyi was killed by the saint.
This is equivalent to holy punishment!
People who were punished and died by the saints were not allowed to worship in the ancestral hall.
Even if the other party is from a semi-saint family, there is no exception.
This is a shame! A shame for the Ke family! A shame for the half-saints of the Ke family!
Ke Changyuan is full of hatred, but he dares not speak out.
His hands are shaking.
This time the Ke family lost again.
Not only was he completely defeated, he also lost a great scholar.
"Good kill!"
Du Ning shouted coldly, feeling envious of Fan Qianfeng's ability to kill decisively. Keeping such a great scholar would be a disaster, so what's the use if he doesn't kill him?
Are you going to let him stab Yun Guo in the back again?
"Hey..."
Ke Yufeng sighed, feeling sad and regretful, but without any anger.
"Now that Ke Changyi has been executed, the grievances between the Liao Kingdoms have ended here. What does Brother Fan think?"
"I will never let this matter go so easily!"
The faces of the Liao people changed wildly.
They could feel that Fan Qianfeng was still very angry. If he offended a semi-saint, the consequences would be quite serious.
"It's the human race after all, Mr. Fan..."
"I don't like haggling. If Mr. Ke is dissatisfied, I will always be with you." Fan Qianfeng said impatiently.
Ke Yu closed his mouth, and now Fan Qianfeng was right.
"Are there any other options?" Ke Yufeng asked.
"Since Mr. Ke asked this, I will give the Liao army two choices."
Fan Qianfeng said slowly: "First, the Liao army surrendered to the Yun Kingdom, and I can guarantee their safety."
The Liao people looked extremely ugly. If they were asked to surrender, it would be difficult for them to accept it.
Surrender is a lifelong shame for a soldier!
"Second, the Liao Kingdom paid 30 million taels of silver to the Yun Kingdom, and the two countries reached a reconciliation and released the Liao army back home."
"What!"
Ke Changyuan and Qin Wentai looked at each other, and their expressions became quite exciting.
When Du Ning went to negotiate with them, the first condition they offered was that Yun Guo should compensate them 30 million taels of silver.
Now Fan Qianfeng has made a condition, asking the Liao Kingdom to compensate 30 million taels of silver, and return them intact as they said.
At this moment, Ke Changyuan and Qin Wentai felt their faces burning.
"Brother Fan, don't you have any other conditions?" Ke Yufeng smiled bitterly.
"There is another option, which is to let the Yun and Liao armies continue to fight. You and I, the Half-Saints, are not allowed to interfere. No matter what the outcome is, life or death is up to you." Fan Qianfeng said.
The Liao people's faces turned even paler, because the Yun State had mysterious cannons and Ye Jinghong came to help. Once the two armies fought to the death, the Liao army would definitely be killed and annihilated.
The choice proposed by Fan Qianfeng is also fair. Both sides start the war based on their own abilities. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This has been a rule since ancient times.
