Chapter 39: Jedi
As the priest of the country, in many cases, Lu Tiaoyang's status is more lofty than Gao Gong's in the hearts of the literati. One is because he presided over the imperial examination, and the other is because all the students of Guozijian can be said to be his students.
It is only natural that students respect their teachers.
Although he deliberately walked out of the restaurant angrily and did not attract the attention of others, so no one came to help him after he fell, but after a while, he was seen by several scholars.
"There's an old gentleman over there, and I'll go over and help you, thinking it's for this meeting, but Shen Wuyan is really it."
"Mr. Shen really doesn't know if he admitted to cheating, but most of it is problematic, and it can't be said that he was persecuted."
"Actually, whether it is Mr. Shen or Wan Gongzi, they are all rare talents in the capital, and now Wan Gongzi has become the first talent in the capital, but it is reasonable."
These scholars were discussing here, and they had already walked to Lu Tiaoyang's side, but they saw that his eyes were red, but they were very embarrassed, and it was too far from his gentle and elegant image.
The scholars did not recognize the old gentleman for a while as the priest of the country, but thought that he was a frustrated old scholar, because the poems he wrote were looked down upon by the scholars and thrown on the ground, so that they were so sad.
"Sir, why do you bother with this prosperous place, the boys are very young, and their character is very inferior, but you can't say that your article is bad."
A scholar on the side also immediately chimed in: "Who said that there are too many good articles that are not buried in this world, but there are always ignorant people who are blinded by lard so that geniuses are buried too much."
Lu Tiaoyang completely ignored the meaning of these scholars, but it was incompatible with his previous principle of treating people modestly, and the words on the paper in his hand at this time really shocked him.
A few simple and simple words, but it is easy to write the author's contemplation, and the expectations of friends who are still in prison are probably like this, but they are a little incomprehensible, in short, it is intoxicating.
It's as if I also think of a friend of mine back then, where is he now. But it is difficult to trace, and it has long been swept away with the lack of clouds and sunshine.
It's just that his actions made those scholars more and more curious. One of them was an anxious person, who hurriedly stepped forward and took the paper over to look at it, and read softly: "Send Xu Wei Xu Wenchang"
As soon as he spoke, several scholars over there were immediately stunned.
Xu Wei's name has already been mentioned once tonight, although there are all kinds of suspicions that Shen Wuyan is suspected of stealing Xu Wei's article to become famous. But it can also be seen that Xu Wenchang's name is really not under Shen Wuyan.
So much so that when they saw the name of Xu Wei in the hands of this old man again, everyone was shocked. After a while, the scholar continued: "It looks like a word."
"Read it to you"
The scholar nodded, and then read: "Ji Zi will return if he is safe, everything in his life, how can he look back"
The voice was soft, but the few scholars around could hear it clearly. So much so that after hearing this, the scholars had forgotten the old man sitting on the ground in a daze.
I don't know when the words have been read, and all beings hurriedly lowered their heads to look at the old man, but saw that the old man had already burst into tears. Just as he was about to make fun of it, he realized that he was not.
So everyone was silent, and then they memorized all these words in their hearts, and when they were ready to go home, they copied it several times and gave it to their friends to read, but it was also a beautiful thing.
After a long time, all the scholars bowed very respectfully to the old man, and said in a low voice: "The old gentleman's article should be the first few times tonight, and it is not comparable to Wan Gongzi."
Lu Tiaoyang suddenly chuckled. Then he slowly got up and patted the dust on his clothes, and laughed and left under the surprised eyes of everyone, completely ignoring the surprised expressions of these scholars.
"Shen Wuyanshu"
When they were visiting the old man, they didn't realize that the scholar who read the words did not worship, he just looked at the paper blankly. It seems to be laughing instead of laughing, but it seems to be mocking something.
At this time, this last sentence was suddenly read, which really surprised the scholars around him.
"What do you say"
"Words made by Mr. Shen"
“”
When they were amazed, everyone rushed forward to watch, but it was Shen Wuyan who wrote it undoubtedly, and even a scholar who had witnessed Shen Wuyan's handwriting immediately recognized that it was indeed written by Shen Wuyan.
For a moment, several scholars fell silent again. There were so many surprises overnight that I couldn't describe them.
couldn't help but look at the direction where Shen Wuyan had gone, and then in the direction where the old man had left, several scholars opened their mouths at the same time, and then rushed to Yue Yun Restaurant angrily.
There was still some chaos in the restaurant at this time, but under the auspices of Wan Cong, it gradually returned to normal, as the leader of the literati tonight, he naturally gained the respect of all the literati, so that no one dared to disobey what he said.
Wan Cong also enjoyed this achievement very much, especially looking at the lonely and distant background, his heart was even more excited, and this kind of joy of a victor is probably like this.
Standing on the high platform, he said loudly: "Mr. Shen probably has his difficulties, but stealing Mr. Wenchang's article to become famous is really unacceptable, but fortunately, he was exposed tonight, and Mr. Wenchang was also given justice."
Wan Cong's voice sounded everywhere in Yueyun Restaurant, and every scholar could hear it clearly, so he felt more and more that this Wan Gongzi, who repaid his grievances with virtue, was so majestic and tall.
Even when Shen Wuyan's shameless behavior was undoubtedly leaked, he was still excusing him, which was so admirable.
Many of them have already begun to chant that Wan Cong is the first genius in the capital. At first, it was only a small number, and then the entire restaurant, and even the scholars outside the restaurant shouted like this.
Wan Cong's face gradually darkened, he sighed lightly, and then said loudly: "The so-called Wen Wu is the first, how can I be the first in this matter, this matter must not be."
Gao Gong, who was sitting on the edge of the stage, showed a satisfied smile on his face, he waved his hand, and said: "Wan Gongzi's words are not right, now the literati in the capital have all recommended you as the first talent, the so-called heaven does not take it, you will be blamed, why do you have to resign?"
Wan Cong couldn't help nodding, then hugged his fist towards Gao Gong, and bowed to the literati with a humble face, before saying: "Thank you for the guidance of the old Gao Ge, since this is the case, I will temporarily occupy this position."
"It's a little early"
Before Wan Cong could finish speaking, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the door, and then a man's voice interrupted Wan Cong's words.
Listening to this familiar voice, Yang Bo, who was standing on the second floor, was shocked, but Gao Gong had already sat up from the chair and muttered softly: "Wang Xijue"
After such a pause, I saw Wang Xijue walking in outside the door in official uniforms, followed by the vigorous Jinyi Wei who was holding an embroidered spring knife in his hand, and said coldly: "The case of Shen Wuyan's fraud has been investigated, and the reason is that someone deliberately started the incident and the mastermind behind the scenes is this Wan Cong Wan Gongzi."
As soon as the words came out, Wan Cong's eyes sank, his expression was a little flustered, and listening to the discussions that sounded everywhere, he was really a little worried, and he was busy looking at Gao Gong.
But seeing Gao Gong squinting, looking at Wang Xijue, he chuckled: "Find out, please tell Wang Siye how the situation is."
Wang Xijue chuckled, hugged his fist towards Gao Gong, and said: "In the afternoon of returning to the pavilion, His Majesty personally went to Guozijian to check the test papers, which is enough to confirm that Mr. Shen did not cheat."
"But there is no evidence" Gao Gong sneered and said disdainfully.
Wang Xijue suddenly frowned, and shouted angrily: "Gao Ge Lao is questioning Your Majesty"
Gao Gong was suddenly annoyed and wanted to get angry, but when he found out that he was at a loss, he didn't argue with Wang Xijue, but his heart was already cold, but he didn't look at Wan Cong, but just said: "Wang Siye, please."
Wang Xijue snorted lightly and continued: "The cause and effect of this matter are already very clear Yang Xian was frustrated by a six-year-old girl, so he intended to take revenge, but a drunken remark was used by someone with a heart to create this farce Your Majesty personally tested Shen Tianjun, she really has this ability, you don't need to doubt it anymore"
For a while, there was silence inside and outside the restaurant, but I heard several scholars shouting loudly outside the building.
After hearing what was requested, Wang Xijue instructed Jinyi Wei to bring those scholars forward.
Looking at these scholars with excited faces, Wang Xijue hesitated a little and said curiously: "What are you waiting for?"
The first scholar was not afraid of these officials, and only said: "I picked up this letter on the side of the road before, it should have been written by Mr. Shen to Mr. Wen Chang."
Wang Xijue took the letter, couldn't help but be stunned, and read in a low voice: "You should be used to seeing people in the ghost, always lose him, rain and clouds, ice and snow, for a long time"
Although the voice was soft, it could be heard by the scholars around him. Gradually, people began to copy it, and then it was copied. When Wang Xijue finished reading the whole article, only the sound of turning paper could be heard in the restaurant.
Except for a few people here, all the scholars are copying this golden wisp song at the moment, but they have long forgotten Wan Cong who is standing on the high platform.
This was thrown from the highest point to the lowest point, Wan Cong's eyes were a little dazed, so he nodded and shook his head again. He walked down the high platform with a swaying body, and then walked out of Yueyun Restaurant.
An angry roar came from nowhere: "It's Mr. Shen who he framed"
Immediately, the scholars swarmed to surround Wan Cong, and in a panic, they realized that they had been punched in the face, and then the fists rained down.
It's just that I can't feel a trace of pain, I just feel a little desperate, that person is so powerful, even if he can't defeat him, so what
I don't know when those scholars who were still pursuing themselves as the number one talent at the last moment, at this moment, they have already angrily landed their fists that are not easy to move on that person.
Wan Cong touched the blood stains on the corner of his mouth, and slowly took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, there was only one medicine in the bottle, and after taking it out, he swallowed it without hesitation.
