Chapter 21: Who Wins and Who Loses?

Cheng Yi and Liu Qin will publish the Analects of the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences.

As soon as the news was published in the newspaper, the entire reading world was sensational, seven days, only seven days The results will appear, although it is only the "Analects" in the four books, but "The Analects" is the most influential book among the four books, and a little clue can be seen from this book, Liu Qin has real learning, or is it grandstanding, Qin Xianhao is in the water in his brain, full of nonsense, or is he telling the truth?

One by one, readers frantically poured into Shen Ji Bookstore, wanting to make reservations.

In anxious waiting, Cheng Yi and Liu Qin's "Annotations on the Analects" was finally sold that day, and Yang De left the inn early in the morning and did not return until noon.

"Mr. Yang, can you buy a book?" As soon as the innkeeper heard that Yang had returned, he hurriedly rushed over and asked. Yang De glanced at him: "It's okay, I bought it." "For the shopkeeper like this, Yang De is not surprised, although the shopkeeper does not like to read, but he likes to read the newspaper, almost all of the deadlines must be bought, and the news column of the newspaper has reported on the fight between Cheng Yi and Liu Qin almost every period, how can he not care about the outcome of the battle?

"Shopkeeper, you can make a pot of tea and serve a few dishes. ”

"Little second son, do you hear it, go quickly, and come to the warm pot of wine, this wine is what I gave to Mr. Yang. ”

Yang De nodded, sat down on the table against the inner wall, and then carefully took out two books from his body and placed them side by side on the table.

"Huh?"

The shopkeeper looked curiously at one of them.

On the cover of these two books, the "Annotations on the Analects" is written, one of which reads under the title: "Author: Cheng Yi", and the shopkeeper is looking at the other book, and the author column of this book reads: "Editor-in-Chief: Liu Qin, Deputy Editor: Qin Xianhao." ”

"This Mr. Liu Qin is quite kind. The shopkeeper nodded in his heart, he knew from the newspaper that Cheng Yi was not alone in compiling the "Annotations to the Analects", but only his own name was written on the cover. Obviously, the names of his disciples, even if they were written, were written in the preface or in the afterword after the main text.

Yang De's eyes paused for a moment on the two books, then he picked up Cheng Yi's "Annotations on the Analects" and opened it and read it. Then he nodded from time to time, and even clapped his hands.

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows.

It seems that Mr. Yi Chuan's "Annotations on the Analects" is really good, this Yang Degongzi has been published in the newspaper many times, and his knowledge is very amazing, he looks at this "Annotations on the Analects" and his eyebrows are dancing, and he can't control his excitement, obviously this book is too good to be better. As soon as he thought of this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, Mr. Yichuan was the pride of their Luoyang.

Of course, Luoyang celebrities gathered. Sima Guang, Li Kefei, Wang Gongchen, etc. are also celebrities in Luoyang, but none of them are natives of Luoyang, and Cheng Yi is an authentic Yichuan person in the eyes of Luoyang people.

The shopkeeper waited aside, only to see Yang De finish reading a copy of "Annotations to the Analects". I didn't even drink a sip of tea, I didn't drink a drop of wine. Obviously, the whole person was completely immersed in the book, he read it once, read it a second time, and read it three times in a row before putting down the book.

"Mr. Yang is very happy, and he must have gained a lot from reading Mr. Yichuan's books. The shopkeeper laughed.

Yang De closed the book, and his face was full of red light: "I finally know why Mr. Yichuan is so famous in the world." Everyone is proud to learn from him, and he actually writes an ordinary "Analects" in three points. ”

"Oh?" the shopkeeper looked at the book in Yang De's hand, revealing a look of longing.

Yang De pretended not to see: "Shopkeeper." Mr. Yichuan's book, read this one, understand it all, it is better to read ten years, you should find a chance to buy one yourself. Yang De said and took a sip of tea, ate two more mouthfuls of food, and then put the book in his arms, and looked at the "Annotations on the Analects" compiled by Liu Qin and Qin Xianhao on the table, and seemed to be a little unmotivated.

"Mr. Yang, Qin Xianhao's son boasted the world's No. 1 book, I don't know if it is good or bad compared with Mr. Yichuan, and how much worse. The shopkeeper said.

Yang De sighed slightly.

"Although I'm not interested in reading it, I already have a winner in my heart, but you're right, even if I want to say that Mr. Ikawa won, at least I have to say where the victory is, and I have to read this book again, no matter how bad it is. ”

One was holding the dish, and the other hand lazily opened Liu Qin's "Annotations on the Analects", and Yang De looked at it listlessly.

"Huh?"

Yang De glanced at it a few times, his expression became focused, and after a few more lines, his face changed slightly.

"How?" asked the shopkeeper.

Yang De's voice was a little dignified: "Good book, this Liu Qin seems to be no weaker than Mr. Yichuan's now, I'll take a look at ......." "In fact, it's not weak, in the previous part, Cheng Yi wrote a new idea, Liu Qin is not one on it, and what Yang De saw just now was not written by Cheng Yi, but Liu Qin wrote it, and Yang De had a feeling of listening to your words and reading ten years of books.

"It must be a coincidence, yes, a coincidence!"

Yang De didn't believe that Liu Qin could overpower Mr. Yichuan on this, but he .......

Time passes.

Yang De's eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky, and it was obvious that the whole person had fallen into an extreme excitement.

"Has this Yang De never seen the world?" The shopkeeper frowned slightly, Yang De had read Cheng Yi's book before, his expression was wonderful, and his expression was extremely excited, but at this time, he looked at Liu Qin like this, and even this excitement was even more than that.

As a businessman, the shopkeeper welcomes and sends him every day, and his kung fu to figure out people's faces is naturally perfect, how can he not see that Yang De's expression is not pretended.

After Yang had to read it once, he also watched it three times in a row.

"Mr. Yang?" asked the shopkeeper with a hint of apprehension.

Yang had to put down the book and was silent.

"Whether it's good or bad, you give me a word. The shopkeeper is even more curious, if this Liu Qin's book is bad, it is impossible for Yang De not to say it, but Liu Qin's writing is strong, how can it be.

"Qin Xianhao this time...... Not lying!" Yang De said in a low voice.

"Not lying?"

The shopkeeper's whole head was in a mess, he didn't lie, what does this mean, Qin Xianhao said in the newspaper that Liu Qin's achievements in the four books and chapters far surpassed Mr. Yi Chuan's, and he always thought that Qin Xianhao was talking nonsense......

......

Because it is a fight, this time the book was released, and Cheng Yi and Liu Qin's respective versions were bundled and sold together. The effect of this is that the books of the two can be compared and analyzed intuitively.

This comparison makes a big difference.

For various reasons, only a thousand sets can be issued in Luoyang this time. That is to say, the entire huge Luoyang City can only be purchased by a thousand scholars who have been selected to have a certain talent. And these people after watching two versions. Either they were silent about the results of this competition, or they were sloppy, saying that each was good in its own way, and maybe Liu Qin's version was not weaker than Mr. Yi Chuan's; or they were extremely vague, and after listening to this obscure answer with prejudice, some thought that the other party said that Cheng Yi had won;

Of course, there are also some readers who say bluntly that Mr. Ikawa is at an absolute disadvantage this time.

But how is this possible?

Cheng Yi's knowledge. Who in the world doesn't know? How can they lose?

Luoyang was a super city in the Song Dynasty, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and tens of thousands of well-educated readers......

For a time, Luoyang paper was expensive, and there were countless borrowers and copyists.

Outside the Bianliang Palace.

"Today is the day of the book. Ladies and gentlemen, the old man has taken his leave!" an official of about forty arched his hands, strode to a tall horse, flicked the hem of his clothes, flew on the horse, and patted the horse away. "I haven't seen it so positive on weekdays. This time it was ......" the officials laughed, and many even said goodbye or rode horses. Or take a sedan chair and go. Sima Guang felt strange in his heart, it was rare to ride a horse to the court like this.

Cheng Yi and Liu Qin bet, it seems that these people ...... "Of course Sima Guang knew why they were riding horses, just to go back to reading books as soon as possible."

"I can't wait. Soon Sima Guang returned to the mansion.

"Has the book arrived?"

"Xiangye, it's already in the study. The servant replied. Before his voice fell, Sima Guang had already run towards the study, "This Xiangye, who has always been gentle, is ...... today" The servant smiled on his face.

In the study.

"This Liu Qin's book seems to be a little thicker than Cheng Yi's?" Sima Guang came to the table. As soon as my eyes fell on the two books, my heart became suspicious, and the thicker the book "Commentary on the Analects", the more content, that is, the more detailed it is.

"Could it be that this Liu Qin is written in the vernacular?" Sima Guang was curious, he thought about it and opened Cheng Yi's book first, sat down and read it, "Yes, Uncle Zheng is still so old, and he didn't disappoint me at all." Sima Guang nodded, just reading the "Analects" and learning, he had a sense of pleasure like drinking fine wine, Sima Guang read all the way, and after a long time, he closed the book.

"Old and immortal are called thieves, and Uncle Zheng's knowledge has entered the realm, and he is called the old fox. Sima Guang sighed, he was not jealous, what he Sima Guang pursued was not like this, if he put his mind on this, he was confident that he might not lose to Cheng Yi.

"Uncle Zheng has already written everything that should be written, Liu Qin ......"

Sima Guang is very clear about Liu Qin's identity, compares his heart to his heart, and also understands Liu Qin's embarrassment, and he is very sympathetic to Liu Qin in his heart.

"Heaven and earth will change greatly, if you don't change, you will wait for death, but if you change, you will definitely be able to live?"

Although he understood Liu Qin's difficulties, Sima Guang was very contemptuous of her approach.

"Well, let me see how much you have learned. ”

Why did Sima Guang and many ministers of the court so eagerly want to come back and read the book? Not to read Cheng Yi's "Annotations to the Analects" but to read Liu Qin.

For thousands of years.

It's all outside the male protagonist and inside the female protagonist. The day after tomorrow appears in the rivers and lakes, and the congenital hidden in the rivers and lakes, the various women's innate sects represented by Cihang Jingzhai are the hosts hidden behind them, only responsible for the general direction, responsible for judging, and responsible for supervising their martial arts research, and do not specifically do it themselves.

The two sides have been at peace.

But this time, the Dragon God Palace portrayed that the heavens and the earth would change, and the martial arts were about to become history, and the entire martial arts world was completely panicked.

If it is Cihang Jingzhai and other women who are hidden behind the scenes, blame them for not working hard, not fighting, and missing a thousand years, and they are not convinced, blaming Cihang Jingzhai and others for standing and talking without backache and blind command, so that there are today's evil results.

The two sides are arguing with each other, no one can convince anyone, no one can help anyone, and the final result is to get rid of the other party and do their own thing.

Gao Tianlai is wholeheartedly determined to run a girls' college.

Liu Qin secretly went to Xinyang to set up Hongmei Academy, and one by one the women had either gone to the front desk, or were about to go to the front stage, and openly fought with their men in the ring.

The battle between Liu Qin and Cheng Yi seems to have nothing to do with outsiders, but it is actually related to the faces of both parties.

Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Lu Gong, Liu Zhi, Fan Chunren...... How can people who are in the middle of it not care?

Sima Guang opened the "Annotations to the Analects". (To be continued......)
