Chapter 12: The Haze of Events

The discussion on the stone boat was peaceful and simple, and there was a little emotion, a little schadenfreude, but Zheng Kai in the small pavilion was a little angry, he couldn't deny the three poems, so he was very angry, with his knowledge, he naturally knew that these three poems would soon spread throughout the imperial capital, spread all over the world, and the name of Liu Han would also be known to the world.

Therefore, he was very angry, such a man engaged in cheap business, arrogant! arrogant! villain!

He felt that his authority was being challenged and that he had to react.

"Although the words are of the highest quality, they are full of falsehood!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the pavilion was shocked, Wang Pei looked at the three poems in front of him in confusion, he didn't see the falsehood.

The beautiful face of the white-clothed Gu Gongzi was covered with a layer of worry, and he looked at Zheng Kai thoughtfully, his eyes flickering.

"Wen is the voice of the heart, this Liu Han is a businessman, how can he come to a high place and be cold!

Zheng Kai's voice was cold, and his expression was stern: "His person is not right! His heart is fake! His text is naturally hypocritical! But this Luo Shenfu, a womanizer!"

Wang Pei gasped, these three poems were tasted by Zheng Kai, and they immediately became the text of deceiving the world and stealing fame, and this Liu Han naturally became a person who deceived the world and stole fame, he was a little stupid.

Turning his head to bump into Gu Gongzi, Gu Gongzi's expression in white was also confused.

"Zheng Gong said well," another person on the side nodded and exclaimed: "The sage's words, heart, righteousness, can achieve the avenue, this Liu Mou's pseudo-text, hoping to be lucky, in the end, but to deceive the world and steal fame." ”

Wang Pei smiled bitterly in his heart, this Zheng Kai has controlled the Guozijian for decades, and is one of the leaders of the literary world, and the emperor has always respected him.

Wang Pei wanted to say a few words for Liu Han, but he didn't want to offend Zheng Kai, so he thought of Gu Gongzi in white, but he didn't think about it, but Gu Gongzi had already spoken: "Zheng Gong's words are reasonable, but if he wants to taste literature and poetry today, it is not a talent tasting, let alone a conquest, Zheng Gong presided over today's event, and these three articles can be the icing on the cake for the event. ”

Wang Pei secretly praised in his heart, in the end, it was Gu Wei, a man in white, who was smart, which not only interceded for Liu Han, but also took care of Zheng Kai's face, and secretly woke up Zheng Kai, these three articles add luster to the grand event you host.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Zheng Kai's expression changed slightly, obviously he understood what Gu Wei meant, Wang Pei decided to add another fire, he smiled: "Gu Gongzi is right, today's poetry meeting is only about poetry and no matter people." Judging from the text, these three articles are rare good texts in recent years, and these hundreds of scholars are competing to copy it, which is proof, besides, today the king of Yanping County and Gan Lao are also there, with the preferences of the king of the county, most of them will compose a song, let the singers in the palace sing, next time I wait for the palace to go, most of them can be heard. ”

Speaking with a yearning attitude, this Yanping County King is the half-brother of the current emperor, good at music and rhythm, although he is only the county king, he can be loved by the current emperor.

"This person is accompanied by the second son of the Qiu family and the third son of the Lu family, and I want to make friends with the three of them," Gu Wei added: "It seems that most of them are acquaintances because of literature." ”

After speaking, Gu Wei and Wang Pei exchanged glances and knew each other.

Zheng Kai was a little irritable in his heart, he had been up and down for decades, he had controlled the Guozijian, and he had seen too many young and talented junjies, and many of them ruined their futures, but there were also many things that made him helpless, such as Gu Wei, the white-clothed boy on the side.

Wang Pei and Gu Wei said it well, these three poems are very well written, and someone will always pass on the articles, if these three poems are popular at that time, he will be even more embarrassed.

Wang Pei was still waiting for Zheng Kai, but Zheng Kai didn't speak for a long time, and was wondering, when he suddenly saw Gu Wei glaring at him, and after thinking about it a little, he suddenly realized that Zheng Kai was not coming off the stage, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, a little happy, and was thinking about whether to build a step for Zheng Kai, when Gu Wei's light cough came from his ears.

"Just looking at these three poems, they are all extremely good, and there should be no problem with the top grade," Wang Pei said while paying attention to the expressions of everyone in the pavilion, especially Gu Wei, when he said that the top grade, Gu Wei frowned slightly, Zheng Kai's face suddenly looked ugly, he smiled slightly and added: "However, this person is just a secluded businessman, and he has a hypocritical heart.

Although he seemed to be asking everyone in the pavilion, his eyes were staring at Zheng Kai, Zheng Kai hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, and everyone in the pavilion suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, you know, the imperial capital knows that today's poetry will be appreciated by them, if these three poems are tasted as inferior products, they will be passed out, and it is not only Zheng Kai who is ashamed, but everyone in the pavilion can't run.

Therefore, although most people are reluctant to let a businessman steal the limelight, they do not dare to completely exterminate these three articles.

"Upper middle grade!!"

The results of the tasting soon spread to the stone boat, Yanping County Wang Yanliang was a little surprised, and couldn't help frowning, these three poems are gorgeous, he doesn't need to look at the poems of hundreds of other scholars, he can conclude that no one can surpass it, but he actually got a middle grade!!

"This Zheng Kai is also painstaking," Shen Shilang smiled, Yan Liang looked at him inquiringly, he sighed: "Lord Wang, with Zheng Kai's thoughts, how can it be possible to let a businessman be the first, if it is a top grade, his proud protΓ©gΓ© is placed there? ”

"I see," Gan Lao shook his head, and said with some regret and disdain: "Lao Zheng has taken the door too seriously over the years, and there are all the talents you need to know." ”

"Gan Lao is right," Yan nodded and said: "Shishu is different, but Shishu can't be separated by the world, the four famous ministers under Taizu back then, the twelve generals, there are scholars and scholars, and non-scholars have talents." ”

The founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, with Emperor Taizu to conquer the world of the ministers and fierce generals, but the most famous is the four famous ministers and twelve generals, Taizu once famously said, the reason why he can defeat the heroes, to reach the top of the world, is not that he has high talent, but that he has many talents, it is with the assistance of these many talents, he can defeat the masses, the establishment of the Great Jin.

After the founding of the country, Taizu rewarded the ministers, the four most meritorious ministers and twelve generals, and naturally rewarded the last, in addition to the officials, he also drew the Lingxiao Pavilion, and after his death, he deserved to enjoy the Taimiao, and the glory was unlimited.

Yan Liang is very familiar with this history, and everyone in the clan is familiar with the records of Taizu, and is very familiar with the origins and backgrounds of the famous ministers and brave generals who followed Taizu to fight, nearly half of them were born in the Shu clan, and two were born as slaves.

"What the prince said is too right, if Taizu has the opinion of a scholar, I am afraid that there will be no such great Jin today. Gan Lao looked at Yan Liang appreciatively, this is true, Taizu fought the world, fell into danger several times, most of the generals who charged into battle were Shu generals, the most dangerous thing was that they were surrounded in a melee, fortunately, a general desperately killed to open a gap, this general was born as a slave.

After the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, Taizu issued the "Great Jin Law", stipulating that more than half of the sixteen ministers were non-scholars, so the opposition in the court was strong, and finally Taizu read the merits of the ministers, and specially promoted them to the lower grade scholars, so that the "Great Jin Law" could be successfully passed.

Yan Liang looked at the bamboo forest, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Shen Shilang didn't look at the bamboo forest, but paid attention to Dao Yanliang's expression, and said with a smile after a little thought in his heart: "It seems that this Zheng Kai is still a little smaller." ”

Gan Lao smiled, with a slight contempt in his expression: "If it weren't for his problem, how could the emperor have let him stay in the Guozijian for decades." ”

Shen Shilang was slightly surprised, and soon woke up, so it turned out that Zheng Kai was famous all over the world when he was young, plus his family background was good, he was requisitioned early, it stands to reason that after decades, how can he do Shangshutai, and at worst, he can be in charge of a Cao, but he didn't think about it, he has been teaching in the country, from the professor to the sacrificial wine, he has never moved the nest, it turns out that as early as a few decades ago, the emperor has seen through this person, and the Guozi priest wine is his best position.

After thinking about it, he was about to take advantage of the situation to mock two sentences, when a noise suddenly sounded on the side of the bamboo forest, and the sound became louder and louder, but after a while, the sound disappeared again.

Gan Lao sighed slightly, knowing that I am afraid that it is the dissatisfaction of the scholars in the bamboo forest with the tasting, the scholars who participated in the grand event today are not only from the scholars, but also from a large number of Shu families, the contradictions between the scholars are very deep, the scholars are almost born with official positions, and the Shu people may not be able to be high-ranking officials after struggling all their lives, so there are also deep contradictions between the scholars and scholars.

Liu Han's three articles are only of medium grade, which may have caused the dissatisfaction of the Shu scholars, so they made an uproar.

Sure enough, the subordinates soon came to report, the scholars were dissatisfied with the tasting, there were three people in Guozijian who were appraised as the top grade, two people in Taixue were appraised as the top grade, and the three people in Guozijian were all disciples of Zheng Kai, and the two Taixue were also from the top grade scholars. The scholars thought that the poems of the three were not as good as Liu Han, and they were appraised as the top grade, while Liu Wen was only of the middle grade, which was obviously unfair, so they made a noise, but they were later persuaded by Liu Han.

"Oh, how did he convince these scholars?" Gan Lao was very curious, to know that the Great Jin Dynasty was very curious, especially the Taixue Guozijian, the Guozijian was mostly the children of the scholars, and the Taixue had a large number of low-grade scholars and Shu children, and there were often contradictions between the two schools.

Therefore, it is not easy to quell the troubles of the scholars, this Liu Han is just a businessman, how can he calm them down in a few words?

Not only Gan Lao was curious, but Yan Liang and Shen Shilang were also curious.

"That Mr. Liu said that he has no intention of becoming an official, participating in the poetry meeting is just to see the imperial capital Junjie, today can see so many imperial capital Junjie is very satisfied, as for the tasting, whether it is poetry or songs, it is a work, there are works that some people like, there will be people who don't like it, this is normal, besides, the purpose of reading is not to let people taste, the purpose of reading is to understand reason, in the cultivation of virtue, if there is a chance to serve the country, then to serve the country; if there is no opportunity, the mountains and forests are also very good. ”

"Just these few words?!" Shen Shilang was very surprised, a little incredulous, and the subordinate said affirmatively: "Yes, master, the second son of Qiu also said a few words, and the scholar didn't say anything." ”

Gan Lao sighed softly: "This Zheng Kai, the king has lost his talents, and the country is unlucky." ”

Yan Liang was silent for a while before he said: "This Liu Han has some meaning, if you have the opportunity, you can see it." ”

Shen Shilang nodded slightly, Gan Lao didn't say anything, and after a while, he also nodded lightly.
