Chapter 169: The Dust Settles
Chen Chuge's slap riveted his strength, and it can be described as powerful.
directly staggered Zhao Lingyun.
If it was before, someone would naturally stand up and speak for Zhao Lingyun.
But now, I don't look at who Shen Liangfu and the others are.
This is the ruthless person who has covered the top eleven in this test, and Zhao Lingyun, who they have high hopes for, can only squeeze into the top 20.
For the sake of a top 20, offend the top 11?
This account can't be paid no matter how it is calculated.
What's more, most of them had been mocking along with each other before.
Innocently offended the former eleventh, Zhao Lingyun, who hated at this time, had itchy teeth, how could he speak for him?
Zhao Lingyun was stunned, blushed, and after a long time, he burst out of a sentence: "Rude!" ”
"What about Brother Sun? What about Brother Sun? Didn't he say the news was true? Where is he? ”
"What about the bastard surnamed Sun?"
This was followed by hysterical yelling!
"Brother Lingyun, I seem to have seen it just now, he led a middle-aged man out of the city in a hurry."
Someone kindly mentioned something, but Zhao Lingyun was asked to completely break the defense.
"Bastard! Bastard thing! ”
"I have a heart for you, how can you play tricks on me like this!"
"Bastard, bastard!"
Syllable!
However, he was greeted with another slap in the face.
This time, it was Zhen Renyi who fanned it.
"Enough of you! We are all readers, how can we do such a vulgar thing? ”
"Hmph, you have insulted my reputation many times, and you just slapped you in the mouth, what is it?"
"Even if it spreads, who can say that I can wait half of it?"
Hearing this, Zhao Lingyun was stunned, remembering what she had done before, and for a while, she didn't know what to say to refute it.
After a while, he saw Shen Liangfu also holding his arm and walking forward eagerly.
Suddenly shocked, he said in fear: "Slow, slow, I have something to say!" ”
"Hu everyone! Yes, please also uphold justice! ”
"Their southern literary scene has accumulated shortcomings for a long time, and it is far less prosperous than my northern literary circle, if there is no suspicion of fraud, how can Bao Yuan try the top eleven? I implore everyone Hu to strictly investigate these ten people! ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the contradictions between the candidates from the north and the south were immediately intensified.
Sure enough, soon there were candidates from the north who stood up and affirmed their statements.
"Yes, I know these ten people, the people of the two counties of Jianghuai and Huai have not been ranked in the imperial examinations in the past."
"Not to mention the top eleven in the round round, there must be something strange in it!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
The northern examinees were furious, believing that Shen Liangfu and the other ten people had stolen the glory of the northern literary world by improper means.
The southern examinee was even more furious and retorted: Could it be that according to your meaning, my southern literary circle will never be able to produce talents? It's normal to be trampled under your feet forever by the north?
The contradiction between the two sides was exacerbated by Zhao Lingyun's words, and they were about to start when they saw it.
At the critical moment, a crisp gong sounded.
Hu Yan cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Silence! ”
"My generation of scholars, noisy and shouting, what kind of system has it become?"
"As I said earlier, this is a list jointly drawn up by the Hanlin Academy and the Princes of the Kingdom, and handed over to Your Majesty for decision."
"Could it be that you have been so bold that you dare to talk about Your Majesty?"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly fell silent.
After all, in these years, if you end up with the name of a vain saint for no reason, I am afraid that your career will be worrying in the future.
"But I can't wait!"
"Yes, the top three have been from the north for many years, how can they be asked to take them from the south?"
"If it's not fraud, how can you explain it?"
"Silence!"
"There is something strange about this, but it is definitely not fraud!"
"Do you know, that poet in Huainan?"
Hearing this, most of the northern candidates were at a loss, while the southern candidates showed pride.
"If you haven't heard it, have you ever heard of "Zhenyumen" and "From the Army"."
"Such a masterpiece, naturally I have heard of it."
"That Huainan poet is the author of these two poems."
"To be able to make such a poem, you must be talented, why don't you see this poet to participate in this examination?"
"This person has no intention of pursuing a career in office, but the children he taught participated in this examination, and it was Shen Liangfu and ten others."
Rumble!
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them was in an uproar.
"How can there be such a person? The disciples who have been taught can actually cover the top eleven? ”
"Appalling, appalling."
"Huainan actually has such a famous teacher?"
Most people are horrified, but there are a few who remain calm and question.
"The way of learning is a matter of accumulation, even if these ten people worship a famous teacher, it is impossible to improve their knowledge to such a level in a short period of time, and there must be strange things!"
"Yes, this Huainan poet, from the more than 300 decrees of my dynasty in recent years, accurately predicted the direction of the exam this time!"
These words can explain why Shen Liangfu and others are ranked higher than the other.
But the authenticity is even more doubtful.
The audience was silent for a while, and only then did someone stumble and say, "From... Predict the direction of the problem from the decree? ”
"Is this what a man can do?"
As soon as the news came out, it was obvious that everyone was in an uproar.
However, this news was verified by the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian, approved by the saint, and finally came out of the mouth of Hu Yanhu, the leader of the Qiandu literary world.
This kind of authority, added up, even if you don't believe it, you have to believe it!
Thinking of this, everyone was stunned, and it was hard to imagine why such a talented man came from the south, not the north.
"If you don't believe it, you can go and read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and Feihong Daily, which are also written by him."
"Although it is only a small talk book, it is enough to see that it is brilliant in writing."
As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar.
"It turns out that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was also written by this poet!"
"Oh my God, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" actually came out of Huainan, and it sold hot in the north!"
There is evidence thrown out one after another, plus there is the official endorsement of Hu Yan.
All the candidates finally accepted this fact, and could only sigh that Shen Liangfu and the other ten people were really lucky enough to meet such a great Confucian.
In the crowd, Chen Chuge grabbed the embarrassed Zhao Lingyun and said, "So far, what else is there to say?" ”
"I, Zhao Lingyun, have nothing to say."
"Well, from now on, in the Qiandu, when you meet us and others, you will all take a detour!"
After saying that, he let go of his collar.
Seeing this, Zhao Lingyun immediately turned around and fled in a hurry.
The back is like a lost dog.
This visit to Qiandu is a mixed blessing.
The good thing is that although the ranking is not good, but I am in high school, and I can mix with the Jinshi background.
What worries is the loss of reputation, and from now on, if Zhao Lingyun is mentioned, others will inevitably sneer.
How can he get mixed up in the officialdom of Qiandu?
It's better to be transferred to his hometown as an official.
