"Oh, what else?"

Zhang Qian asked. (This book is reproduced from the Pick-up Literature Network)

Zhang Yansheng replied: "First of all, we must send someone to contact Xiao Mo first, express goodwill to him, and take the opportunity to send people to monitor him. Judging from the preamble in this "New Interpretation of the Mean", Xiao Mo has been noticed by Niu Yuxian, and I am afraid that Wang Han will also make some moves, and we must ensure that Xiao Mo will not unite with these two people. ”

Zhang Qian nodded and asked, "Then who do you think is appropriate?" ”

Zhang Yansheng smiled slightly and replied, "My grandson wants to go in person." ”

Zhang Qian couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "You want to go in person?" ”

Zhang Yansheng nodded and said: "No one is more suitable than his grandson, not to mention, his grandson has long been curious about that Xiao Mo, and this time he went to discuss it, which can be regarded as a wish of his grandson."

After Zhang Qian and Mr. Wen glanced at each other, they nodded, agreed, and asked, "What about the second thing?" ”

"How to deal with Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang, we should also come up with a charter, since Xiao Mo has been known by His Majesty, then the matter of the Yunzhou Prefecture test will not be hidden for long."

Zhang Qian frowned and said: "Before you came, I was also having a headache about this matter, Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang have done their best for us over the years, but this time the mistake is too big, so it is difficult for me to protect them." But if we give up on them, we will give up half of the ......."

"The grandson thought, it's better to give up on them."

"How?"

"Actually, we can't blame Zuo Lingfu for this matter, it's just that we didn't expect Xiao Mo's methods to be so powerful, not only daring to fight back, but also so aggressive, but for a literati, reputation is the most important thing, and their reputation is ruined now, even if they are protected, it is already a drag on us, and if we continue to protect them, it will make us fall into passivity. It is easy to cultivate cronies, and if the Ministry of Rites is missing the two of them, then re-install two more. ”

Mr. Wen interjected: "But in this way, it will inevitably chill the other disciples of the prime minister, thinking that we are hiding all the birds, scattering people's hearts, and may even affect our foundation." ”

Zhang Yansheng smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Teacher, I know that what Zuo Lingfu and they did was arranged by us, but there are other people?" ”

Mr. Wen shook his head and said, "Besides us, there are only Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang. ”

Zhang Yansheng said lightly: "In this case, in the eyes of the world, the reason why we don't protect them is because they have problems themselves, and they won't let people say that we are all hidden. ”

His expression was so indifferent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Zhang Yansheng and Mr. Wen said goodbye and left, Zhang Qian recalled Zhang Yansheng's various expressions before, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile a little.

In fact, what Zhang Yansheng thinks of today, he and Mr. Wen can think of. The reason why I didn't say it was just because I wanted to see Zhang Yansheng's ability.

Obviously, Zhang Yansheng's mental growth is far beyond his imagination.

"Even if something happens to me now, I will hand over this inheritance to Sheng'er, and with Mr. Wen's help, I will have nothing to worry about."

Zhang Qian muttered.

However, for some reason, in addition to being relieved, Zhang Yansheng's indifferent and cold look when he decided to give up Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang had been hovering in Zhang Qian's mind, and he couldn't dispel it no matter what.

Zhang Qian suddenly thought that Zhang Yansheng was only sixteen years old now, and he already had such mental means, what kind of course would he grow up to in the future?

"Isn't my education of the Holy Child a little too much over the years?"

Such thoughts flashed in Zhang Qian's mind, but he shook his head self-deprecatingly, and continued to deal with various affairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the following days, all the literati in the Chu Dynasty were concerned about only one thing, and that was "The New Interpretation of the Mean".

This article from the hand of a sixteen-year-old boy has swept the north and south of the country in just one month, and has easily convinced countless Confucian scholars. Although occasionally some people criticize Xiao Mo for "analyzing the Confucian scriptures at a young age and not measuring his own strength", few people pay attention to it.

"The New Interpretation of the Mean" came from the hand of a sixteen-year-old boy, but it can be accepted by countless literati with such a light eye, for many reasons, in addition to Xiao Mo's writing is really exquisite, Niu Yuxian, Zhu Ruide and other Confucians have fully supported, but it is a more important reason.

Literati have the habit of following the trend, and when they see so many top literary circles being so highly respected, they naturally dare not refute themselves. Otherwise, even if Xiao Mo's writing is reasonable, without a few months of controversy, this book would not be so lightly recognized and even admired!!

In this month, almost all the literati in the world were discussing the various arguments and arguments of the "New Interpretation of the Mean", and all the slightly famous literati were rushing to put forward their own views on the "New Interpretation of the Mean", and all of them were more positive than negative.

The phrase "the more the truth is debated, the more true it becomes" is also true at some times, and as countless discussions continue, the more the literati discover the subtlety of the book "A New Interpretation of the Mean", and the book "The Mean", which has never been taken seriously, has once again been picked up by countless literati and carefully studied.

At the same time, Xiao Mo, who wrote the book "A New Interpretation of the Mean", is even more respected by countless people, "talented", "a century-old genius", "born to know" and countless other praises are all placed on Xiao Mo, just because of this book, the position of the first genius of Da Chu has faintly fallen on Xiao Mo. Up and down the Chu Dynasty, even the illiterate old peasants knew Xiao Mo's name. can be compared, only in the recent Beijing State Examination, Zhang Yansheng, who once again won the name of "Huiyuan" with an absolute advantage.

After reading "The New Interpretation of the Mean", countless literati immediately prepared a generous gift, hired a carriage, and rushed to Yunzhou Shanxian County to visit Xiao Mo.

And when these literati thought of the "Yunzhou Imperial Examination Fraud Case" that happened some time ago, after learning that Xiao Mo's knowledge was also failed in the state examination, it caused great dissatisfaction, and a storm gradually began to form, under the guidance of some well-intentioned people, the target of this storm was directly aimed at Zhang Qian, the prime minister of the dynasty, and a battle was inevitable.

Xiao Mo was originally worried that he would not be able to convince the public at the age of sixteen, but in fact, once the world identifies with someone, they will then identify with that person, and Xiao Mo's age has become a footnote and proof of his talent.

Although some people criticized Xiao Mo for writing some ghost stories and playthings before, under Zhu Ruide's arrangement, on the grounds of filial piety, it was also accepted by most literati in the world.

And during this period of time, if you want to choose a person who supports Xiao Mo the most, then this person is not Niu Yuxian, who first discovered Xiao Mo's talent, not Xiao Mo's teacher Zhu Ruide, but Zhang Qian, the prime minister of the dynasty!!

These days, whenever the literati get together, Zhang Qian will inevitably boast about Xiao Mo and "The New Solution of the Mean", and he even proposed that in the next palace examination, the topic should be selected from "The Mean" and "The New Solution of the Mean".

And Zhang Qian's appearance also enhanced Xiao Mo's prestige again.

Almost everyone thinks that if it weren't for the age and qualifications, with Xiao Mo's knowledge and fame, he would have been able to become a great Confucian.

At the same time, Xiao Mo, who has been in the limelight in these days, still keeps a low profile.

Because his plan is much more than that!!
