Chapter 246: The Old Man Comes
This angry rebuke, like thunder exploding, interrupted Cui Mingjiu's chanting and attracted everyone's attention.
I saw a young scholar get up and stride towards the field, glaring at Cui Mingjiu.
He is crowned with a broad belt, and he looks very magnanimous, but for some reason, there is a sense of anger between his clear eyebrows.
Cui Mingjiu looked slightly flustered, this poem was indeed not made by him, and it was inevitable that he would be a little weak-hearted. But on this occasion, he is bound to ride a tiger, and he categorically can't be honest and confess the teacher behind the scenes.
"Who are you? Why do you speak disrespectfully and slander my innocence? β
He was very confused, this poem was taught by Ren Zhen in person just now, and no outsiders were present, how did this scholar see through it? Could it be that "Chivalrous Journey" was not made by the teacher, and he also copied others?
When he thought of this, he felt uneasy, although he didn't want to accept it, but he faintly felt that the truth might be exactly that, otherwise, how could he explain that the teacher could write poems without thinking?
Seeing this, He Yan was overjoyed, nodded to the scholar who suddenly broke out, and said with a smile: "Senior brother is really erudite, he has even read such a cold poem, foolish brother really admires!" β
He thought that "Chivalrous Journey" came from a little-known collection of cold poems, and few people knew about it, so after it was stolen by Cui Mingjiu, everyone present was unaware of it, but fortunately, there was a junior brother who was knowledgeable and stood up to testify.
Cui Mingjiu was silent, and his heart fell into despair. This person is called a junior brother by He Yan, and he must be a protΓ©gΓ© of Taixue, if the source is revealed in public and the truth is revealed, then his reputation will be completely ruined.
"Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, the teacher copied poems to help me become famous, I didn't expect it to end up like this......"
He guessed correctly, Ren Zhen's poems were indeed copied, but they were not plagiarized from the works of anyone in this world, but from the immortal named Li Taibai on another continent. On this continent, it is absolutely impossible for the works to be identical.
In this case, how can this scholar conclude that this poem is plagiarized by others?
Could it be that he also crossed over?
That's impossible.
Behind the curtain, Ren Zhen smiled wryly, stared at the angry scholar outside, and sighed helplessly, "It turns out that you are also here......"
At this time, I only heard the scholar say angrily: "You don't know, the author of this poem is my classmate and friend, that is, today's Confucian little gentleman, Cai Jiushi!" I've heard him recite this poem in person! β
As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar.
In the eyes of everyone, the truth is so surprising that the author of this poem is actually Blowing Water!
On the other side of the field, Cui Mingjiu was dumbfounded. It's a day, this is the big water that washed the Dragon King Temple, and my family doesn't know my family!
"I was entrusted by the teacher to stand up and recite poetry, and you fought for him, thinking that I was plagiarizing his wisdom, what kind of thing is this!"
He couldn't wait to rush up and grab the scholar and beat him violently.
Xiahou Ba stood behind Ren Zhen, also crying and laughing, and asked, "Teacher, is that person really your friend?" β
Ren Zhen looked frustrated, nodded and said, "Yes, his name is Fu Junjie, and he is my senior brother in Xiling Academy." In the past, I used to ride oxen and sell wine, and once I drank it and recited this poem in front of him. Unexpectedly, he actually remembered! β
At the beginning, he had just replaced the real Cai Jiu poem, mixed into Taoshan, and when he recited this poem with the intention of wine, he passed by the plum garden where Fu Junjie was, and was praised by the other party. (Chapter 77, Walking the Cow and Watching the Flowers)
He clearly remembered that at that time, Fu Junjie also joked that he wanted to pick up his teeth and spread this poem as his masterpiece.
Unexpectedly, it became a prophecy. Fu Junjie went to Beijing to take the exam, and he happened to be present tonight, and he saw someone stealing poems, which made him how not to be angry, and stood up with righteous indignation to seek justice for his friends.
As a result, the current farce was brewed.
Fu Junjie didn't know what to do, stared at Cui Mingjiu, who wanted to cry without tears, and scolded angrily: "Even Hou Ye's poems dare to plagiarize openly, it's bold!" You don't want to deny it, just go to him with me now, and the truth will be revealed! β
He Yan gloated and took the opportunity to make trouble, "Since it is plagiarizing Hou Ye's masterpiece, it can't be counted, according to the rules of the exquisite banquet, Cai Jiushi's qualification should be cancelled!" Senior Brother Fu, take him to see the Marquis of Blowing Water! β
He was overjoyed in his heart, and slandered: "Plagiarism was copied to his own family, but it was seen through by outsiders, and the water blowing party is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot!" β
During the banquet, everyone spoke out one after another, reprimanding Cui Mingjiu for his despicable behavior and wanting to drive him out of Linglong Tower.
"This ......"
Cui Mingjiu was in a dilemma, knowing that Fu Junjie's original intentions were not bad, but standing up to stir up the situation at such a time was undoubtedly fueling the Xiling Party, but he was powerless to refute it, after all, what he said was the truth.
The situation has developed to such a point that it is no longer something he can settle.
At this time, an indifferent voice floated out, which shocked everyone's hearts, "There is no need to confront you, I am here." β
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Ren Zhen lift the curtain and walk out.
At this moment, everyone's hearts twitched, and an unusually wonderful expression appeared on their faces. This dinner was prepared for the candidates of the morning examination, and the chief examiner also came here!
After a moment of pause, they finally came to their senses and got up and saluted.
"Meet Marquis Cai in the late life!"
In the huge and exquisite tower, the same sound echoed, shocking.
Ren Zhen walked among the bowed crowd, walked to the center of the venue with his hands in his hands, and said, "Originally, I didn't want to show up and ruin your interest. But when it comes to the reputation of a candidate, Ben Hou had to come forward to say a few words. β
The audience was silent, no one dared to respond, and there was already an answer in their hearts.
Cui Mingjiu and Xiahou Ba were both sitting in the private room just now, and at this time, Blowing Water Hou came out of it again, and it was obvious that the three of them were in a group. Since the peers and the parties are all present, what else is there to talk about plagiarism or not?
Ren Zhen walked up to Fu Junjie with a knowing smile in his eyes, "Senior Brother Fu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to still remember this poem, Senior Brother is very moved in his heart." β
Fu Junjie hurriedly saluted, also smiling, "Shibei three days, when you look at each other, now that you are a junior uncle, you can no longer call me that." Let's Xiling, there are a lot of acquaintances of yours this time. β
As he spoke, he beckoned to the corner of the banquet, and several young people quickly got up and signaled to Ren Zhen.
The man at the head is tall and strong, majestic, and he is the outstanding of Gezhu at the beginning.
After Zhao Qianqiu's death, he was released, put on bright clothes in front of him, dressed neatly, and full of compelling heroism.
Leng Xue, Lan Yu and others next to him, Ren Zhen had also seen them before, and they were old acquaintances.
And beside Zhuoer, Zhao Xianglu was dressed in white like snow, looking at Ren Zhen from afar, smiling.
