As new questions were raised, Shen Liangfu and others were questioned again.
The atmosphere in the entire Qiande Hall also dropped to freezing point.
After all, it was related to imperial examination fraud, and if it was not handled properly, it would be a serious crime of beheading.
What's more, now they have involved Gu Beichuan.
If the answer is not good, I am afraid it will bring disaster to Chiyu.
But even so, there was still no trace of panic on the faces of Shen Liangfu and others.
Chen Chuge stood up, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Have you ever heard of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"."
As soon as this statement came out, many ministers were surprised.
Now we are talking about whether the ten of you are suspected of fraud. What are you talking about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?
However, even so, there are still people who answer.
"As far as I know, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a short storybook, and it has been selling like hotcakes these days. I just don't know what this short storybook has to do with this matter."
"Of course it's related!"
"Do you know who wrote this novel?"
"I don't know."
"However, this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has an ups and downs plot, rich characters, and a unique view of the general trend of the world."
"Occasionally, some popular poems are included in the stories."
"Although it is a novel, its literary attainments are extremely high."
"I'm afraid this author is also a great figure in the literary world." Hu Yan stood up and said.
As a contemporary face of the Qiandu literary world, his words and comments on literature are still very weighty.
At that time, Chen Chuge smiled at him and said: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Hu is very talented and knowledgeable. Now it seems that he is not only talented, but also has a unique vision."
"To be honest, this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written by my master!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Qiande Hall fell into brief silence again.
The military generals may think it is nothing, but it is just a small talk book, something that can only be read by uneducated dandies.
But anyone with some literary attainments, or anyone who has read the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", knows the importance of it.
The author's vision of the general trend of the dynasty, his unique insights into the war situation, and his description of the characters of the generals and counselors are all top-notch works!
It makes people feel that this author should be a person who has gone through many vicissitudes of life.
But who would have thought that it was actually written by a Huainan poet who was no more than ten years old.
It's really... a bit hard to accept.
Hu Yan was not stingy with his words of praise, and said without hesitation: "Gu Shijun can produce such a masterpiece at such a young age."
"The future prospects are really limitless."
"It's a pity that such a talented man has no intention of pursuing an official career. It is really a great loss for me."
Some people who heard this didn't believe it, and refuted it: "Hu Jijiu's words are a bit exaggerated. No matter how talented the Huainan poet is, he is only a child with a yellow mouth who is not more than 20 years old. How can he compare to the person who has gone through many officialdoms here?" The ups and downs of the princes?"
"Besides, it's true that this person is well-educated. But to work for His Majesty, more than just being well-educated is enough."
"In my opinion, this poet from Huainan is nothing more than this. You are praising him too much."
This man's name was Xie Jin, and he was on duty at the Hanlin Academy.
The number one scholar in previous years has always been named by literary names.
If Hu Yan hadn't been too showy in recent years, the title of No. 1 literary figure in Qiandu would definitely fall on him.
This man came from a humble background, and he thought he would skyrocket after becoming the top pick in high school.
But who would have thought that above this court, there were rough waves and undercurrents.
Without a backer, it would be really difficult to move forward.
After wasting several years, I was finally awakened.
Hearing this, Shen Liangfu and others frowned.
Hu Yan just glanced at him and said nothing.
After all, summer insects cannot be said to be ice-like.
Xie Jin has suffered so many hardships over the years, but he still has not lost his jealous temper.
Looking at it this way, the future is clear at a glance.
"Everyone, are you talking about the wrong direction?"
"What we are discussing now is how the Huainan Shijun obtained the more than 300 decrees of our dynasty in the past three years, not this person's literary talent!" Zhang Lang spoke up, correcting the skewed direction again.
"Yes, no matter how well written "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is, it has nothing to do with this matter."
"No! Who said "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has nothing to do with this matter?"
"Everyone, my master is from Huainan! I have never been to Qiandu! But this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been spread to the ears of all of you, and it is sold in major bookstores in Qiandu!"
As soon as this statement came out, some people were enlightened, while others were still confused and at a loss.
"Don't you understand, sir? Since we have a channel to send "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to Qiandu, why can't we have a channel to transport government decrees back to Huainan?"
After saying these words, the whole hall was completely silent.
The channel from Qiandu to Huainan is simple to say, but extremely difficult to implement.
Not to mention how much money it takes to establish a relationship, the bandits on the road alone are enough to cause a headache.
In the whole world, the only one with such ability is the shadow guard of Emperor Renxuan.
But this is an intelligence organization that has been around for nearly three hundred years.
"I vaguely remember that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" only became popular in the past few months."
"In other words, your teacher opened up the freight channel from Huainan to Qiandu in just a few months?" As expected, after hearing these words, even Emperor Renxuan came immediately interest.
"No, from the time the teacher wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to the time we got the nearly 300 government decrees, it only took a month."
As soon as these words came out, the Qiande Hall fell into silence again.
After a long time, I heard Emperor Renxuan say in words that could not detect emotion: "Huainan has a talent."
Hearing this, Shen Liangfu and others were immediately happy.
Such words of praise would naturally mean nothing if they were spoken by others.
But these words were spoken by the Holy One, and they were spoken in the court hall. They were golden words!
From now on, the mentor will be the talented person appointed by the Holy Spirit!
There are tens of millions of scholars in the world, but only a handful of them can get this honor!
And now, their teacher is one of them!
How proud they are of such an honor!
"It's business here. You can go down first."
When Shen Liangfu heard this, his heart trembled. He knew that a judgment was about to be made, but he just didn't let himself and others hear it. It was really heartbreaking.
"The common people resign."
After Shen Liangfu and others retreated, Lieutenant Zhang acted as Emperor Renxuan's mouthpiece. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Now many of the inside stories are clear. In the opinion of the public, how should the verdict be pronounced? ?”
