Li Shanren frowned. Wei Guan was a sophist, and his reputation was well-deserved. This sentence was not only conclusive, but also heartbreaking!
If he doesn't say it well and spreads it out, he will not only be in trouble, but it may also involve the King of Wu.
Seeing Li Shanren's hesitation, Wei Guan continued: "It seems that Mr. Han also understands that although King Wu has done some commendable things, he is still not qualified to serve as an examiner.
Over the years, this examiner has always had both ability and political integrity, and is deeply trusted by his colleagues and the people.
Of course, we don’t need to talk about virtue, this is also part of it.
Does the King of Wu have any talents that would impress the students like me?
Even though the King of Wu had military exploits, this was an imperial examination, not a martial arts examination.
Even if it is a martial arts competition, it is not the King of Wu's turn to rank based on seniority.
You know, the most important thing for people is to be self-aware! "
"Well said!" Zhan Tong couldn't help shouting.
The students behind them were even more excited, and they obviously agreed with Wei Guan's words.
"That's right. Since it is an imperial examination, the examiners must be elected in a literati way!"
"Master Wei is right!"
Song Lian also stroked his beard with satisfaction and looked at Li Shanren with a smile, "Mr. Han, it's hard to go against public opinion!"
At this moment, more and more people gathered around, almost filling the area with water.
They're all there to watch.
Just as Li Shanren was about to refute, he saw the crowd split into a lane and the crowd became noisy.
He took a closer look and saw that the leader walking towards him was who else but Li Yanxi!
Seeing Li Yanxi coming over, Li Shanren breathed a sigh of relief. He was the only one in Prince Wu's mansion now, and it was not easy to deal with these hundreds of people.
Moreover, Li Yanxi came with a group of people.
He looked at everyone with contempt, then turned his eyes to Li Shanren, cupped his hands, "Senior Brother Bai!"
Li Shanren returned the gift and saw Li Yanxi turning his eyes towards Wei Guan. Looking at this former friend, he first sighed, then pointed at him and said: "What you said is simply nonsense!"
Wei Guan looked at Li Yanxi. Although he no longer taught classics in the main hall, he was still one of the greatest Confucian scholars in the world, with a higher status than him. Moreover, he was now the editor-in-chief of a literary journal, and his influence was greater than that of Song Lian. big.
"Brother Yu'an, why am I talking nonsense?"
"You said the Prince of Wu was responsible for falling from the horse. What's that nonsense?" Li Yanxi said coldly: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu grew up with the Prince since he was a child. The relationship between the two brothers is so good that I don't need to say more.
The prince fell from his horse, which is indeed a sad thing for everyone, but if you throw all the blame on the King of Wu, it would be too biased.
As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, respects the king and father and protects the younger brothers. However, you keep publicizing it outside. Aren't you trying to ruin His Highness's reputation? "
"Sophistry, you are the one who is really talking nonsense!" Wei Guan said angrily.
"You know in your heart whether I am quibbling, but I know that you have evil intentions and are trying to sow brotherhood between the prince and the king of Wu.
Not to mention the prince, you are still entangled here. What is it if it is not provocation? Li Yanxi said coldly: "The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is." "
"You, you..." Wei Guan pointed at Li Yanxi and his hands were shaking.
Li Shanren almost didn't laugh. This old man didn't expect that he was also good at sophistry.
In this way, I have avoided the pain points and still have a firm footing, which is really wonderful!
"What am I? Did I say something wrong?" Li Yanxi flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "You said that you want to use the literati method to recommend the examiners. Is it true that the literati method is to let you gather to make trouble?
Don't you want to persecute the current prince?
Or are you planning to manipulate public opinion and plot rebellion?
Your Majesty, Prince, what right do you have to disagree with something that both the left and right ministers agree with?
Or are you saying that you are older than those three, and your thoughts are more important than His Majesty and the Crown Prince’s thoughts? "
As soon as these words came out, Wei Guan's face turned pale instantly. Each hat was getting bigger and bigger, and none of them could afford them.
"Li Yanxi, we are discussing the matter with the King of Wu. We are not trying to coerce public opinion, and we are talking about persecuting the King of Wu.
As for rebellion, it is even more nonsense. Stop setting traps for us! Song Lian said coldly: "His Majesty, the Crown Prince, naturally has the biggest ideas, but what is the meaning of the existence of our ministers?"
Of course, it is to make up for the monarch's omissions. If you don't even have this awareness, then what kind of minister are you? Why don't you go home and farm the land! "
"Master Song is right!"
Seeing Song Lian win back a victory, everyone couldn't help but cheer, adding to his power.
Li Yanxi smiled faintly, "You couldn't convince His Majesty and the Crown Prince, so you came to Prince Wu's Mansion to make trouble. Is this how you behave?
I have learned another trick. In the future, if your majesty and the prince's proposals are at odds with me, I will also follow my example and call a group of people to make trouble.
It is well known as "Filling in omissions and picking up omissions".
You seem to be upright and upright, but in fact you are extremely stupid!
You are all famous officials in the imperial court and leaders in the literary world, but you bring your students to make trouble, teach bad children, and set a very bad example for future generations.
It will definitely cause harm for thousands of years in the future! "
"Since I and others are here today, we are not afraid of being scolded!" Song Lian said: "This is an imperial examination, not a military examination. The examiner must have both ability and political integrity.
Well, even if the King of Wu was virtuous and had military exploits, his talents were mediocre!
In his early years, the King of Wu was uneducated and had no skills. Even writing was like a ghost drawing talismans.
If these people come up with exam questions, who in the world will be convinced?
In the future, when these students from all over the world mention Enke this time, they can't help laughing.
They will laugh at my great cause and no one else.
The meaning of Enke is to recruit new talents for the imperial court to show my broad mind for our great cause.
Is what we said wrong?
Did we do something wrong?
In your eyes, Li Yanxi, what we have done is all stupid?
Okay, even if this seems stupid to you, it doesn't to us.
As the saying goes, different ways do not conflict with each other, and I will not try to convince you.
You are the teacher of King Wu and the father-in-law of King Wu.
Emotionally and rationally, you should speak for him.
But I and others have never done it for their own selfish desires, so whether you or the Korean father-in-law, you have to avoid talking about this matter.
Otherwise, how to convince the public?
Ask other people, ask the people, are you convinced? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him started whispering to each other.
Many people think what Song Lian said makes sense.
Li Yanxi also frowned. This sentence was not easy to answer.
This sentence not only rounded off all the words and captured the great righteousness, but also coerced public opinion.
If the answer is not good, there is no need to talk about other subsequent matters!
Song Lian originally thought that these words were a sure blow, and was secretly proud of him.
But at this moment, a voice came, "Submit, someone from our side, be the first to submit!"
