Chapter 649: Competition
Chu Xian's compilation of immortal classics still has the opportunity to make a comeback, and if he is greedy for leisure because of the abandonment of compilation, then Chu Xian's career will have problems, compared to the former, the people of the Yang family are naturally happy to see the latter happen.
At this moment, an official of the Prime Auxiliary Pavilion above slapped the table and said, "Nonsense!"
The two words, the voice was not loud, and the court meeting was quiet all of a sudden, because the one who spoke was the great Situ of the Holy Dynasty.
Da Situ is a highly respected existence, and his status in the Shoufu Pavilion can be ranked in the top five. Naturally, he spoke, and no one dared not listen.
I saw that Da Situ said with a calm face: "As the editor-in-chief, how to compile is Chu Xian's power, as the so-called suspicious person does not need to use people to not suspect, investigating him during the compilation of the immortal canon, maybe it will really affect the progress of the compilation, not to mention, what Gao Xianwen said, most of them are chasing after the wind and shadows, and there is no real evidence, what accounts do you say, it doesn't cost money to compile them?" Also, Lu Zicheng of the Wensheng Academy is the deputy editor of this matter, and he has the right to supervise the book, he didn't say anything, what are you talking about?"
With a reprimand, all the officials didn't dare to say anything, this matter is indeed the case, and it is indeed inappropriate to investigate an editor-in-chief just because of Gao Xianwen's report.
At the very least, verify the authenticity of the content.
In fact, what Gao Xianwen said is nothing, and you can't paint when you compile immortal classics?
Strictly speaking, Gao Xianwen is a little out of trouble. If no one supports Chu Xian, it's not impossible for them to take advantage of the situation, but now it's not only someone who supports, but also Lord Situ, so except for Gao Xianwen, all the other officials have died down and stopped here.
Gao Xianwen's face was flushed at this time.
Da Situ's words were actually reprimanding him, saying that he had nothing to do, whether he had nothing to do Gao Xianwen knew in his heart, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so faceless.
Although the big Situ has this qualification, how to say it, he is also a literary saint.
Thinking of this, Gao Xianwen felt that if he died down like this, he would inevitably be ridiculed in the future, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to raise his head, and the most important thing was that although he did not have real evidence, judging from the results of his secret investigation, Chu Xian did not write a word, and indeed did not start compiling the immortal dictionary.
This is obviously not normal.
So, why not take a gamble yourself.
Just bet that Chu Xian is really greedy for fun, after all, this is indeed an opportunity for himself, it's a pity not to grasp it, what's more, he is fighting for a breath now, don't you all look down on me, just like the Gu family, I feel that I can't do big things.
Okay, this time I will do a big thing first, wait until Chu Xian is brought down, and then directly recommend himself to compile the immortal canon, Gao Xianwen doesn't believe it, and he can't compile the immortal canon at his own level.
In fact, Gao Xianwen still has some city governments and means, and there is one thing that he has done secretly for a long time, and no one has known about it.
That is, twenty years ago, he lost to Liao Wensheng when he competed for the editor-in-chief and writer, and he must have been disheartened as an ordinary person, but Gao Xianwen was not like this.
He always felt that he still had a chance.
So he did one thing, and that was to secretly compile the immortal canon.
His plan is very simple, when the time comes, he will compare himself with Liao Wensheng and see what the other party has made up compared to himself.
In the past 20 years, although he has stopped writing, he has also compiled the immortal classics in his mind, and he may only be a little short of finishing.
He didn't tell anyone about this, even his wife, and his father-in-law didn't know at all, this was Gao Xianwen's hole card, and this was the capital he thought he had turned over.
Before, he thought that if he could get the official position of editor-in-chief, he would be able to take it out and shock the Holy Dynasty, but the Holy Dynasty did not give him this opportunity.
So now he can only look for opportunities on his own.
Even if he can't bring down Chu Xian and can't get the position of chief editor, he still has to recommend himself to the world to compile the immortal canon, and he will deliberately set a deadline to complete the compilation faster than Chu Xian.
When the time comes, his immortal canon comes out, Chu Xian estimates that he hasn't even finished writing the prologue, who is high and who is low, it is clear at a glance, and he can also take advantage of this opportunity to become famous all over the world.
So at the moment, he said in a loud voice: "Lord Situ, as the so-called one-leaf obscure, although Lu Wensheng has the right to supervise the book, but it may not be as clear as us outsiders, and it is not that I am Gao someone targeting Chu Xian, I am really worried about him, although he has compiled several hand-me-down works before, but after all, he has just entered the Wensheng Academy, far inferior to my decades of experience in the Wensheng Academy, the compilation of immortal canons is the top priority, there must not be the slightest mistake, it has been wasted for twenty years before, this time, it can not be wasted for another twenty years." ”
When the officials heard it, this Gao Xianwen had something to say.
Da Situ also frowned, and said: "Gao Wensheng, do you mean to say that Chu Xian is inexperienced, and the immortal classics may not be as good as them?"
Gao Xianwen nodded.
"Then what do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Da Situ smiled slightly, the court meeting was a place where everyone could speak freely, of course, Gao Xianwen could not be prevented from speaking, and the other party put forward ideas, so he might as well listen to it.
Gao Xianwen knew that he had to rise to the occasion, otherwise it would be impossible after the court meeting, and Chu Xian's backers and influence surpassed him, so if he wanted to take the position, he had to create opportunities by himself.
At that moment, Gao Xianwen stepped forward, looked around, and said loudly: " I Gao Xianwen is not talented, I have served in the Wensheng Academy for more than 30 years, and I have participated in the compilation of dozens of books, many of which are handed down from generation to generation, perhaps my literary talent is not as exemplary as that literati, but I am more persistent than him, this time I Gao Xianwen does not seek fame and fortune, and I do not need the Holy Dynasty to give me resources, I decided to compile the immortal canon at the same time, if I Gao Xianwen compiled it first, I will bother all my colleagues to appreciate it together, if the conditions are met, please also list my works as authentic, as for Chu Wensheng's side, let him not waste any more time. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Who doesn't know that publishing a book is an extremely time-consuming and painstaking thing, and it takes a lot of effort to do this kind of thing.
In addition, not everyone can compile such a thing as an immortal classic, it must be a literary saint with sufficient knowledge, otherwise what is written will only be laughable and generous.
It can be said that no one would dare to take this errand without two brushes. In addition, if according to what Gao Xianwen said, how sure is this Gao Xianwen?
If you are not sure, if you are not particularly angry and worried, how can you do such a thankless job.
At the moment, after Gao Xianwen said these impassioned words of selflessness, he immediately won a lot of favor, even if he had not paid attention to Gao Xianwen before, he nodded in his heart at this moment. Da Situ also smiled, and his favorability towards Gao Xianwen increased, the other party said this, but he seemed to be a good and responsible official, if he just had nothing to do before, he would definitely be looked down upon, but if he compiled the immortal code at the same time, the situation would be reversed immediately.
"Gao Wensheng, are you serious?" Some officials didn't believe it, and asked, after all, this kind of thing is not a joke, Gao Xianwen is doing this, it is equivalent to singing against Chu Xian, but the method used by people is very good, and no one can say that he is wrong, after all, Gao Xianwen's starting point is good, and he is compiled by himself, and he does not use the resources of the Holy Dynasty, which is indeed admirable.
Gao Xianwen was proud at this time, if he hadn't secretly compiled the part over the years, he wouldn't be so confident, it was because of this hole card that he would be so sure that he could overpower Chu Xian.
"If I Gao Xianwen said it, it was like water spilled out, this time I compiled the immortal code, I can compile it at the same time as that Chu Wensheng, but if the immortal code I compiled is better at that time, then please give me Gao Xianwen a fair. Gao Xianwen looked righteous at this time.
Although his actions are admirable, the requirements in his mouth are not something that anyone can decide. It was decided that it was Chu Xian who was responsible for compiling the immortal canon, that is to say, the immortal canon compiled by Chu Xian was authentic, but if Gao Xianwen was promised, then the other party would be equivalent to having the right to compile the immortal canon, and when the time came, he would really let him compile it, who would it recognize?
That's a problem.
Not to mention other officials, even several officials of the Prime and Auxiliary Cabinets who attended this court meeting were also unable to make up their minds.
Da Situ was even more hesitant, and then said: "Wait a moment, I will use the secret method to communicate with several other Immortal Officials of the Shoufu Pavilion to see what the other adults mean." ”
After speaking, Da Situ cast a spell and closed his eyes to communicate.
In addition to Da Situ, several other Immortal Officials of the Shoufu Pavilion also closed their eyes, obviously discussing.
At the court meeting, the hundreds of officials also had different expressions, and the officials of the Xiao family were all frowning, this matter was not a good thing for Chu Xian, and it was not a good thing for them, once Gao Xianwen succeeded, it was tantamount to admitting Gao Xianwen's certain qualifications, although Gao Xianwen did not have a real official position, nor did he have the corresponding resources, but the other party was qualified to compete.
Once Gao Xianwen is allowed to make the immortal canon first, and it is a masterpiece that meets the requirements, the blow and impact on Chu Xian will be too great, and even, if that is the case, Chu Xian's career will inevitably end, and it will be difficult to turn over.
This is simply ruining a person's future, like killing parents.
But this Gao Xianwen's point of entry is very good, it can't be refuted, people say that they don't seek fame or profit, they are afraid that Chu Xian's writing is bad, so they use their own strength to write at the same time, and it will be good to compare it when the time comes.
But in fact, whoever can finish the compilation first, who obviously has the advantage, everyone understands this truth, in this way, Gao Xianwen suddenly made trouble at this time, did the other party plan it a long time ago?
Compared with the anxiety of the officials of the Xiao department, the officials of the Yang department were excited.
This is an opportunity, there is no loss for them, and once Gao Xianwen succeeds, Chu Xian will be finished, as the orthodox chief editor, he will actually be overtaken by others to compile the immortal canon, which is a huge dereliction of duty.
