Leyuan Prefecture, Lu'an Prefecture
As soon as a group of carriages and horses entered the main street, they saw dozens of people surrounding the street, bursting into laughter from time to time.
The person in the carriage shouted to stop the carriage, opened the curtain with a bony hand, smiled at the servant sitting at the front of the carriage and said, "Come on, let's listen."
The servant agreed and squeezed into the crowd while protecting his master.
The master and servant had just entered the inner circle. Before they could see clearly what was going on inside, they heard the rapper among them holding a bamboo board and saying loudly:
"[Let's chat with each other, there has been a turmoil in the literary world recently; the high officials in the DPRK are discussing taxes, and the income of merchants will be reduced.
Public discussion has just begun, and the scholar-official scholar has something to say. He said that increasing taxes hurts the people, and he said that it is wrong to compete with the people for profit, even if the rich have a lot of jade, even if they make fine grains at will.
No farmers were seen to care about their animals, no tatters were seen all over the hillsides. It turns out that Shilin is so arrogant that he can only see the vast ocean but not the river...]"
The man in rich clothes who had just got off the carriage had a bit of surprise in his narrow eyes.
The servant who followed him was also surprised: "Is this something you can say often in public?"
Sure enough, as soon as the rapper started singing, a small group of people suddenly squeezed in.
As soon as these people came up, they shouted rudely: "Go, go!!!! They are all gone! They are all gone! If you dare to listen to such rumors again, I will put you in the government prison!"
When everyone saw the uniform attire of these people, their expressions became panicked and they suddenly dispersed.
Not long after, on the previously noisy street, apart from the master and servant, there was the team that was obviously the servants of a certain house.
"The lyricist ran away too!"
"Let him slip away again!"
"I will definitely make him look good next time!"
The team of servants cursed and stamped their feet, and glanced at the master and servant who had not moved.
Just as someone in the team was about to bare his teeth at them, the leader of the team kicked him: "Look at these unusually dressed people. Don't mess with them. Get out quickly."
A group of people came and snored away, raising a cloud of dust and driving away a group of people, leaving only two spectators full of questions.
"The patrol chief..."
"Don't say anything. Send someone to ask which family they are from."
Half an hour later, in the guest room of the inn under the jurisdiction of the Leyuan Prefecture, Jia Congzhu, the patrol manager, listened to the report and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile: "The aftermath is still there!"
Then, he wrote a short essay and ordered the guards to rush back to Kyoto.
…
After the initial one-to-many scolding scene, the debate in "Wenjian" gradually turned into various big fights.
The two sides have been going back and forth for nearly a month, during which hundreds of articles have been published.
In all things, if there is opposition, there will be support, and some people will change their stance halfway.
As mentioned before, "Wenjian" is a place where hundreds of people can speak freely. Not only Shengyuan and great scholars can express their opinions, but ordinary students and literati also have the opportunity to express their ideas.
Therefore, after being stimulated by the wonderful debates between Sheng Yuan and those great Confucian scholars, the literati students who were originally just melon-eaters were full of the desire to express themselves.
As a result, manuscripts with different ideas flooded into the "Literary Journal", and a colorful literary battle began.
This melee, which lasted for several months, besides leaving dozens of classic texts for future generations of students, its greatest significance was that Sheng Yuan retreated from the whirlpool.
Before Sheng Yuan could breathe a sigh of relief after her success, a clerk from the Department of Classics came to look for her.
"Senior Counselor Sheng, Mr. Second Assistant, please come over and see me." It was not easy for the junior official. He went through most of the general affairs department before looking for Sheng Yuan outside the Hanlin Academy.
Sheng Yuan did not expect that as soon as he returned to the Hanlin Academy to report, he would be summoned by Cifu Gu Yuncheng.
She is only a fifth-grade person, why would Tangtang Cifu think of looking for her?
But the slander is the slander. After all, Shangguan summoned him, so it was not easy to wait too long.
"Please lead the way!" Sheng Yuan straightened her clothes and followed the other party.
Cabinet offices are mostly located in the North Hall of the Classics Hall, and the offices of cabinet ministers are basically located there.
It was also my first time to go to Shengyuan, and everything I looked at was strange.
Of course, the Classics Hall is not much different from the office next to it, but because the cabinet works here, it looks a little more sophisticated.
When Sheng Yuan came over, Gu Yuncheng happened to be summoned by the emperor and left a document waiting for her: "I'm afraid it will be some time before the second assistant comes back. Counselor Sheng will wait in the hall for now."
"...Okay." Sheng Yuan thought that her trip would be in vain at most, but she didn't expect to have to wait here.
The clerk arranged by Gu Yuncheng was also a smart man. Seeing Sheng Yuan looking around idly, he ordered people to bring tea and refreshments, and introduced the classics hall to her with a smile: "If Counselor Sheng is in a leisurely mood, you can go to the side hall We walked around the verandahs and pavilions, the scenery there is nice, there are flowers, fish, lakes, and half a chess board, so you can pass the time."
"Okay!" Sheng Yuan's eyes lit up.
There is a lake where the Cabinet Office is located!
Sure enough, the treatment is different!
With curiosity and wonder, Sheng Yuan followed the introduction in the document.
Then, she looked at the plaque in the side yard less than a hundred meters away and fell silent.
A small courtyard for officials to walk is called "veranda waterside pavilion"? !
A fish tank with two goldfish swimming in it is called a "little lake"? !
It turns out that everyone in the Classics Hall has such ideas? !
sorry! Disrespectful!
Sheng Yuan felt like the smile on her face could no longer be stretched.
"Counsellor Sheng, this is fish food, but you can only feed one spoonful at a time, don't add more!" Probably because Sheng Yuan's expression was too polite, the clerk hurriedly explained the most important things, and then quickly walked away.
"..." Sheng Yuan couldn't help but laugh and cry when she saw the other party trotting away and quickly out of her sight.
Just be fooled, it's better than waiting in the hall.
Sheng Yuan was good at comforting herself. She was stunned for only a moment before she quickly became lively again.
The plump and fat fish in the fish tank are quite interesting!
The black tail is like silk and goes around provoking; the red one is very flexible and has a bad temper.
The one whose whole body is like topaz is a little shy; the red white jade fish on its head floats and sinks for a while, looking very happy.
Sheng Yuan's eyes were attracted by these delicious-looking fish, and he didn't even realize that he was squatting next to the fish tank.
She remembered that the system had shown her a video. The goldfish in it were not only good at heading the ball, but they could also block the ball accurately. She wondered if they could do this.
With her big eyes rolling, Sheng Yuan picked up a little fish food and looked left and right. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she couldn't help but quietly called the system: "Do you think they are that smart?"
The system was also curious, so it came up with an idea: [Try it! Give it a try! Hahaha, that black fish is very aggressive! 】
"I only put a few grains in, and this black fish is beating up its friend unilaterally!" Sheng Yuan looked at the frightened yellow croaker, then looked at the white fish that turned around and swam away, and finally turned his expectant eyes to the already A fast tail-wagging redfish.
