After the stick of incense was finished, among the crowd of people who were busy writing, Shao Tong suddenly stood up, took his own paper, and walked forward with great satisfaction.
"This is Xiaosheng's paper, please take a look at it!"
Shao Tong cupped his hands, his brows were filled with high spirits, and he looked at Xie Xiuyuan with a hint of subtle flattery.
Yuan Surong on the side subconsciously wanted to take it, but Shao Tong's hand was slightly retracted.
Yuan Zurong immediately jumped away and looked at the other party with a slight frown.
Shao Tong seemed not to see her at all, but just stared at Xie Xiuyuan and Lu Shenyan.
Lu Shenyan also frowned slightly and looked at Shao Tong, the atmosphere was a bit awkward and a little delayed.
The talented people who were writing in the audience all raised their heads and looked at Shao Tong with envy.
From this angle, they couldn't hear each other's words or see their expressions. They thought it was Shao Tong's writing that was so good, so they praised each other a lot.
So everyone had a look of envy on their faces.
Finally, Xie Xiuyuan smiled slightly, took Shao Tong's paper, and said calmly, "Just sit back and wait!"
Shao Tong's smile froze slightly. Seeing Xie Xiuyuan being so cold, it was hard to say anything.
Lu Shenyan casually glanced at the words on it and mocked, "This guy's rhetoric is gorgeous, but it's a pity...a red and pink skull, beautiful in appearance, but without flesh and blood. It's really a waste of rhetoric in this article! He also looks down on women.
, and don’t even look at what I am!”
Xie Xiuyuan chuckled, but his words were much colder.
"No matter how talented a person like this is, he cannot be put to great use. If he has higher interests, he will definitely give up his character... If conditions permit, it is not a problem to surrender to the enemy and treason! Mr. Yuan, don't take it to heart!"
Yuan Zurong smiled slightly, "I'm used to seeing this kind of behavior. It's really not that bad. It's a pity that there is still no woman here today!"
Lu Shenyan also sighed and looked at Yuan Surong, actually still a little suspicious.
When Yuan Jurong first came to court, I don't know how much criticism there was.
Some said that she was a naughty husband and that staying with Emperor Rongcheng would damage the body of the dragon. Some said that as a little girl, she should go back to get married and have children. Others were even more unpleasant and even made up some absurd stories between the emperor and the female officials.
The script is simply unreadable.
At the beginning, Lu Shenyan also viewed this matter with suspicion.
After all, except for a strange woman like Wen Ranran who can stand up and sue when she rebels, there are very few women who have such courage and strategy.
Although Yuan Jurong came from a scholarly family, she was still a woman who had never seen much of the world since she was a child.
But gradually, after Lu Shenyan learned about Yuan Surong's political achievements, he no longer thought so.
For a woman to stand in the middle of a group of big men and discuss matters, the hard work and effort she puts in are even hundreds of times more. However, Yuan Jurong has never made any mistakes, which in itself is admirable.
Yuan Zurong smiled slightly at this moment and said helplessly in a low voice, "The reason why I chose Shao Tong in the primary election is because his prestige among scholars is too great. If I don't let him participate directly, I'm afraid there will be trouble!"
Lu Shenyan and Xie Xiuyuan were both stunned for a moment before they came to their senses.
Indeed, most of the scholar-bureaucrats are actually in favor of Shao Tong. Only a few people can see that this guy has no substantive skills except reading and writing poems. Apart from those flattery articles written well, he has no real ability at all.
There is no real talent or learning.
But just because those flattering articles are so well written, among a group of scholars who have nothing but talent to compare with, those who write good poetry will be envied by everyone.
However... this kind of reading mode can easily turn a person into a fool who only knows satisfaction and is too satisfied with his current situation.
