Chapter 163: Human Nature
Jiang Kui and Chen Liang's words aroused the doubts of many ministers, because this was beyond the scope of everyone's cognition.
Even Zhao Yan felt a little unbelievable, although he knew that Ye Yu had carried a large number of books in the pavilion more than a month ago.
But what is the difference between reading books and writing books?
But just when everyone questioned this, Jiang Kui said: "Your Majesty, Xiaomin also felt unbelievable at first, but Master Ye really did it, and forgetting to sleep and eat in this month is to prove a ...... to the great Confucianism of the current dynasty."
When Jiang Kui said this, he found that he was in a hurry, so he immediately shut up and stopped speaking.
Because he knew that the next words, speaking out of this great hall would be unseemly, and would be more likely to provoke the wrath of the people.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Zhao Yan asked with a puzzled face.
"Prove to the Confucian scholars of the current dynasty, a chance to slap the face......"
Crash!
This time it stabbed a hornet's nest, these Confucian ministers already had a deep prejudice against Ye Yu, where did they put their faces now with this sentence?
Slap yourself in the face and ask others to give you a chance, this is really unreasonable!
Although Kong Dexian's group of Confucian ministers were hot when they heard this, they were more indignant!
But so what? People just talk, and if they don't break the law, they can only get angry!
"Oh? Hehe! It's interesting......
Zhao Yan twisted his beard lightly, smiled slightly, and then set his eyes on Yu Yunwen: "What does Yu Aiqing think of this?" ”
Yu Yunwen is also brilliant in writing, not inferior to any Confucian minister in the court, but because of his achievements in abandoning literature and martial arts, he covered up his original scribe demeanor.
Zhao Yan naturally knows the roots of Yu Yunwen, so he asked this question.
"Returning to His Majesty, written by Master Ye, Wechen has also studied it recently, and Wechen is really impressed by Mr. Ye's knowledge!"
After Yu Yunwen sorted out the language, he continued: "But Wei Chen doesn't understand a little, even if as Jiang Kui and Chen Liang said, Master Ye wrote this book in a short period of time, but it is a little inconsistent with the time!" ”
"Oh, how so?"
"Your Majesty, it has been more than 40 days since Master Ye said that he was recuperating from his illness. But from the time Master Ye wrote the book to the time when this book was published, it was only a little more than a month......"
"As far as Wei Chen knows, this printing of 2,000 works of 200,000 words is handed over to Guozijian, and it will be difficult to complete this project for a few days and nights......"
In addition to teaching and educating people, Guozijian was also the central government in charge of printing in the Song Dynasty. The main types of books printed are classics, histories, sub-books, and collections.
Therefore, the printing institution of Guozijian can be said to be the largest printing workshop in the Great Song Dynasty.
Except for some imperial court documents that needed to be handed over to the Chongwen Academy, the Secretary Province, the Zuolang Department and other institutions, most of the books were handed over to the printing workshop of Guozijian for printing.
As soon as Yu Yunwen said this, he was immediately echoed by Kong Dexian, the priest of the country, because he was worried that he couldn't find Ye Yu's handle, and now he couldn't let go of this great opportunity.
So he stepped forward and echoed Yu Yunwen and replied: "Your Majesty, what Lord Yu said is very true, according to what Jiang Kui and Chen Liang said, the book will be written for a month, and the remaining days will be reserved for printing and publishing!" With such a huge number, even the Guozijian has to be as much as half a month! ”
"What do those two Aiqing mean is that Master Ye didn't write this book in a month?" Zhao Yan naturally heard the voices of Yu Yunwen and Kong Dexian.
"Wechen just thinks that this book was written this month, or it is a bit false! But Master Ye's knowledge, Wei Chen is also very impressed! ”
Yu Yunwen is worthy of being a seasoned old fox, and he spoke just right, not only saying the doubts, but also throwing them to Kong Dexian's group of Confucian ministers.
At the same time, he was extremely sure of Ye Yu's knowledge, and he must not offend Ye Yu, who was in the midst of holy grace.
"In this book, Master Ye put forward the idea of 'seeking truth from facts'. But let this Jiang Kui and Chen Liang talk so vastly, isn't it difficult to convince the public! ”
Kong Dexian drilled when he saw the cracks, and he was bound to fight Ye Yu to the death.
This can annoy Chen Liang, who has always been upright, although he is just a lifter, and he has no right to speak in this vertical arch hall, but Kong Dexian slandered Ye Yu so much, how could he pretend to listen and not listen?
Without permission, but seeing Chen Liang said coldly: "You only know how to estimate the possibility of a thing with what you usually see!" Don't you know that this is even more blind and short-sighted? ”
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Yu Yunwen and Kong Dexian, but bowed to Zhao Yan and replied: "Your Majesty, if Master Ye can write a book within a month, he has the ability to print thousands of books in a few days!" ”
"Oh? ......" Zhao Yan expressed some doubts.
"Nonsense, could it be that Lord Ye is a god or a man?"
Yu Yunwen was stimulated by Chen Liang's sarcastic words, he couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, how could he let Chen Liang make a lot of nonsense in the palace.
In the face of Yu Yunwen's questioning, Chen Liang did not back down: "Guozijian and even private printing workshops mostly use engraving to print books, but Master Ye uses movable type printing, and this kind of technology is not to say that thousands of books, even tens of thousands of books are only a few days' work!" ”
"What? …… Movable type printing? ”
As soon as Chen Liang said this, it immediately attracted everyone's criticism, because this movable type printing technique is not a new term.
"Impossible, movable type printing originated from my Chao Bi Sheng, but although clay movable type is simple, it is not easy to last."
"Even if it was printed with movable type, it wouldn't be so fast!"
"Yes, this must be Lord Ye has already taken care of ......"
"Writing this book in a month is simply a fantasy, and it is definitely not something that can be done by man!"
“……”
"Enough!" Zhao Yan broke off his drink, and the hall was suddenly silent.
Looking down at the ministers, he snorted coldly and rebuked: "Although I also have doubts about this, what kind of mentality do you have to wait? ”
In fact, at this time, the reason why everyone is so agreeable is that it is no longer based on objective facts, but a kind of jealousy against their will.
Everyone knows that Ye Yu has sprung up in the past few months, and the limelight has overshadowed everyone.
And Ye Yu wrote a book and a biography in a short period of time after the war of words, and his intention was very clear, that is, to use written facts to fight back......
In all fairness, this made the ministers of the DPRK and China and the Confucian people very jealous.
This slowly formed a tacit trend, a trend of joint suppression of Ye Yu in literature.
The reason why Ye Yu's book caused such a sensation was not how controversial the content was, but the impact on these Confucians, which made them feel panic and uneasiness.
Earlier, Ye Yu was in the main hall to fight the group of Confucians, although Kong Dexian and others were speechless in the end, but these Confucians would not feel embarrassed.
After all, when it comes to debating talents, Ye Yu has already recognized that his debating talents are invincible in the battle of Nalan Rongshu.
They can endure it! Because this is a fact, it cannot be suppressed!
But if it is a highly academic work, it will rise sharply to the level of a literary master.
Throughout thousands of years of history, there have been many talented scribes, but when it comes to the figures in the literary world, which one is not the pinnacle of scholarship and writing a biography?
A young man who is just twenty years old has written a book and written a biography to become a master in the literary world, and he can't tolerate it if he speaks with his conscience!
This is the nature of human beings, especially the inferior nature of literati!
Officialdom forming parties for personal gain and excluding dissidents does not necessarily have much brilliance in this so-called pure land of literature.
It's just that the literati will use their own pen to depict it as white and flawless to cover up the dirty corner of their hearts......
On the quiet vertical arch hall, the ministers quietly did not dare to make a sound. Zhao Yan has always been kind to people, even if he is forced by the ministers, he rarely gets angry in front of the ministers.
Now, Zhao Yan is really angry! After a long time, Zhao Yan calmed down his anger and said in a deep voice: "Chen Liang, you tell me in detail!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After Chen Liang got the permission, his hanging heart also relaxed a lot, he entered the palace for the first time, and it was also the first time to see the emperor in the palace.
It's impossible to say that you're not nervous. Fang Cai's words of confrontation were just based on unyielding anger.
After all, at the court meeting, he acted against the prime minister without permission, and if he was held accountable, he would be held responsible.
And Zhao Yan's summons of Jiang Kui and Chen Liang today was actually completely out of curiosity.
Because he really wanted to know what kind of people who could be favored by Ye Yu were capable of.
When he saw the two of them so young, Zhao Yan was also quite surprised. Later, under the national policy of the school examination, both of them answered fluently, and their knowledge was outstanding.
In particular, Chen Liang has a novel strategy, which makes Zhao Yan's eyes shine. When the identities of the two were revealed, the ministers present were even more ashamed.
A musician who has repeatedly tried and a person who has not yet participated in the examination, these two young people with no name can be connected with Ye Yu, who is famous all over the world, this is really unimaginable.
Zhao Yan looked at the two people in front of the hall, but he was full of emotion in his heart, and his heart said that Ye Yu was not only a good learner, but his ability to perceive people was also beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Now everyone present knows that these two people have directly changed their original destiny trajectory in the future because of Ye Yu's strong wind.
The early dynasty dispersed in a controversy, and when Jiang Kui and Chen Liang walked out of the palace, they were no longer white-clothed, but were given 'Tongjinshi Origin' by Zhao Yan in front of the palace.
This is equivalent to the fact that the two of them do not need to participate in the imperial examination, they are already Jinshi.
Jiang Kui and Chen Liang knew in their hearts that in addition to their talents and learning to deal with Zhao Yan's school examination, the most important thing was the opportunity that Ye Yu gave them.
Because there is no Ye Yu to print their names on it, and who knows about them among the ministers of the DPRK and China, there will be no chance to enter the palace to meet Zhao Yan in person!
The trivial matters in the court are still as usual, but at this moment, Ye Yu is in the mansion, watching a good show......
