What Liu Guang said was quickly verified, and only three days after the official decision of the Academy Palace to nominate Zhang Yu as a scholar, several comments on the selection of this scholar were published in the newspapers.

There are a few people listed above, including that Yao Jinchu, who is even more impressive, but it can be seen that this comment has an obvious bias, focusing on promoting and praising them, and saying as if they are perfect.

Then he turned his pen and began to criticize the rest of the people, and deliberately magnified the shortcomings of these people.

But those who know the way can see that the main target here is Zhang Yu, and the reason why a few people brought the rest of them was just to show that they were not deliberately targeting a certain person.

For example, the newspaper said that Zhang Yu went out to travel when he was more than ten years old, and only returned home after a few years, vainly claiming to be a study tour, but abandoning his elders, he was clearly an unfilial person.

But they won't explain that Zhang Yu's adoptive father agrees with this matter very much, even if someone points it out, they are not afraid, because they have already checked, Zhang Yu's adoptive father has already gone out on a long trip, and no one can prove it.

There is another one, that is, starting from Zhang Yu's knowledge, firmly grasping the fact that he is self-recommended for admission, saying that he is not knowledgeable enough, I am afraid that he is an opportunistic person, otherwise why do you not cultivate a good business, but instead take a shortcut?

Of course, they will not take the initiative to make it clear that the so-called "shortcut" is actually many times more difficult than the "right business". And the shortcut is already preconceived, making people think that it is a relatively easy path.

And the whole article is full of guessing words such as "fear", "maybe", "maybe", etc., and says what he imagines as if it were a real thing.

Similarly, in view of Zhang Yu's past achievements, if there are other people together, they try their best to elevate it, downplay Zhang Yu, and compare some people with it, just to make people think that these things don't need Zhang Yu, in fact, if someone with a little bit of ability comes, they can also do a good job, but they just happened to be bumped into by Zhang Yu.

For example, Zhang Yu left alone to kill the newt and save a boatload of people, and even chased thousands of miles later, killing the alien gods who attacked the officials of the capital hall, they really had no way to erase it, so they began to find someone to analyze and comment.

Say that Zhang Yu hadn't joined the Xuanfu at that time, and if it wasn't for Xuanxiu, how could he deal with a first-headed newt? Therefore, it is "very likely" that the newt had been hit by the artillery fire of the Daifuku before being killed by Zhang Yu, and was dying, so it is reasonable.

As for the pursuit of the alien god, the article believes that "Xu is" was seriously injured by the counterattack of many guards when the alien god was evacuated, so Zhang Yu went up to just pick up a bargain, and here they also invited a lot of relatives of the guards of the government office, saying that they could prove that the alien god was indeed injured after leaving.

As for how the guards of the government office, who were wiped out on the spot, told these relatives this news, it was not in their discussion.

These articles were published for a few days, and the people behind them tried to lower the evaluation of Zhang Yu's past merits through these remarks.

These practices are not useless, because the person who is elected as a scholar must go through the "three inquiries", and only after passing the three inquiries can he become a "scholar", and the conclusion of one of the inquiries is made by people from the bottom of the people, and if the public opinion of the person selected by the scholar is not good in the people, then it is likely that he will not be able to be selected as a scholar in the end.

Zhang Yu also saw these newspapers, and this time he didn't take the initiative to distinguish anything, because the Security Patrol Association and the Xue Palace had already hinted that he didn't have to take care of anything before the scholars, and the matter would be left to them to deal with.

However, he didn't expect that these two had not yet begun to exert their strength, but Xiao Shi was the first to express his dissatisfaction.

Xiao felt that when Xiao Qingshu was alive, he admired Zhang Yu the most, and published many articles to advocate it, and Zhang Yu also wrote an inscription for him personally.

Xiao's influence is also very great, especially Xiao Qingshu's brother Xiao Qingzhan is now still the head of the Sihu Office, they are the same neutral faction as Liu Fengquan, and they were not involved in the fight between the two factions, but this time, as soon as they spoke out, many people who were originally neutral stood on the side of the traditionalists.

The people behind the article saw that the situation was not right, and they were busy a little more restrained, but their methods were more than that, and a few days later, some people came to visit Zhang Yu one after another, and they were all old people with high seniority.

Zhang Yu has a sense of heart, and he can see the thoughts and emotions of these people clearly, just to persuade him to take the initiative to back down, don't let "his own people" fight first, he is still young, and there will be opportunities in the future.

But these people did not think at all about who started the fight first, and in the eyes of these people, only their own selfish interests were right, and what they had already fancied would never allow others to touch.

He didn't pay any attention to it, and all such visitors were kept out of the door.

He can also think that if these people can't see him, they will definitely slander him with words that disrespect and respect for their elders and seniors, but even if they meet, as long as this generation can't achieve their goals, they can also use another way to disparage him.

Li Qinghe proposed: "Sir, why don't we move to Xuanfu, so that it can be quieter?"

Zhang Yu said lightly: "It's useless, even if I go to Xuanfu, this generation can also come under the guise of coming to the door to discuss learning, if you can't see me, then you can say that I am not good at learning, otherwise why do you avoid them with a weak heart? In short, they can always find a reason to say you." ”

When Li Qinghe heard this, he couldn't help but be angry and said, "Sir, isn't it too shameless for this generation to be like this?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said: "You are right, but the conflict of interests has always been like this, if you can't even pass this level, how can you talk about being a 'scholar'?"

To become a scholar, he naturally has to stand on the cusp of the storm, which is a must to pass, he has been prepared for a long time, and dealing with these things is also a way to prove his ability.

He doesn't have to pay attention to it now, and he doesn't have to think about how to deal with it, because he is not alone, he has the full support of the Security Patrol Association and the Academy Palace behind him, and he has these two families to mobilize their forces to deal with everything.

If it doesn't work out, it's not only his failure, but also the failure of these two families.

However, he can also see that this matter is not simply opposed by the Yao family, but also by many other forces behind it, intentionally or unintentionally.

And Yao's recent frequent actions have also made many conservatives feel dissatisfied. In their opinion, Zhang Yu is also one of them, and the Yao clan took the initiative to jump out to oppose it, which is completely infighting, no matter who wins or loses, it is the loss of the old faction, and this matter The Yao clan is completely out of their own selfish interests, regardless of the overall situation, so the old faction immediately took action.

Yao soon found that all of his voices were blocked, and that none of the old-fashioned newspapers were willing to publish their articles.

The Yao clan was very unwilling to do this, and after internal discussion, and at the instigation of some well-intentioned people, they immediately turned their heads and went to find the newspapers of other school palaces.

So a scene that made people see a joke appeared, Yao, one of the biggest forces of the old school, actually ran to the newspapers of his former opponents to speak out, and scolded and accused the old school.

Superintendent Chi couldn't look at it at this time, so he brought Hong Xueling over and said, "What does Duke Yao say?"

Hong Xueling said: "Old Man Yao's Mansion has been in a coma recently, and Duke Yao's Mansion is by his side every day. Moreover, even if we want to go to Yao's Mansion, I'm afraid that those clansmen of the Yao clan will do everything possible to stop us from seeing him. “

Chi Xue's monitoring understood, and the Yao Gongfu probably didn't know what was happening outside until now, so it was no wonder that things were like this.

The Yao family has been in the capital for a hundred years, and its influence among the people is very great, if it continues like this, there will indeed be a large group of people who will follow.

He was also a little angry in his heart, and said coldly: "These unscrupulous disciples in my husband's mansion, do they think that this way they can isolate the news? ”

He paused for a moment and said, "The student who is good friends with Yang Weiwei is called An Chu'er, right?"

Hong Xueling said: "Yes, she is also a student of Master Zhang. ”

Chi Xuejian said: "Okay, you let An Chu'er try to bring a message to Yang Weiwei, and you can decide what to say." ”

Hong Xueling shook his face and said, "Yes, I'll arrange it." ”

On the second day, Yang Ying came to visit the Yao Mansion in the name of a student instead of the Metropolitan Governor, and although the Yao clan knew that she was a student of Zhang Yu, they could not stop her, so she successfully met the Yao Mansion and informed the latter of the recent incident.

When the Yao Mansion learned of this, he was furious, and immediately called the clansmen for questioning and told them to stop immediately, but those clansmen not only did not listen, but even joined forces to persuade him.

After a careful decision, he spoke out in the newspaper the next day, saying that the remarks made by the Yao clan were not his will, nor the meaning of the husband's mansion, and that most of the previous remarks were slanderous and untrue.

In fact, he knew that this was not a good choice, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and in this way, the reputation of the Yao family would inevitably be affected, and it would be impossible to promote the junior as a "scholar" in the future, but he still did it.

, The real prestige of the Yao clan is the two princes, and without these two, the rest of the people are nothing, so when he spoke out, the Yao clan was mournful, and the outside was completely silent.

Zhang Yu also saw that after this speaker, most of the evil opinions about him suddenly disappeared, and the situation was gradually improving. However, he knew that it was not yet the time to celebrate the victory, and that there was probably a real battle waiting for him in early February.
