What Liu Guang said was quickly verified. Only three days had passed since the Academy officially decided to recommend Zhang Yu as a scholar, and several comments on the candidates for this scholar's council had been published in newspapers.
Several people were listed above, including Yao Jinchu, but it can be seen that this comment has a clear bias, focusing on promoting and praising this person, as if he is a perfect person.
Then he changed his tone and began to criticize the other people, and deliberately magnified their shortcomings.
But those who know the rules can see that the main target here is Zhang Yu. The reason why these people brought the other people with them is just to show that they are not deliberately targeting a certain person.
The commonly used method here is moral criticism. For example, the newspaper said that Zhang Yu went on a trip when he was more than ten years old, and returned home several years later. He pretended to be a study tour, but abandoned his elders and ignored him. He was clearly an unfilial person.
But they would not explain that Zhang Yu's adoptive father fully agreed with this matter. Even if someone pointed it out, they would not be afraid because they had already checked that Zhang Yu's adoptive father had gone on a long trip and no one could prove it.
Another one is to start from Zhang Yu’s knowledge and firmly grasp the fact that he self-recommended for admission. He said that he is not knowledgeable enough and may be an opportunistic person. Otherwise, why would he go to school instead of cultivating his true career?
Taking shortcuts?
Of course, they will not take the initiative to make it clear that the so-called "shortcut" is actually many times more difficult than the "real career". And the shortcut has been preconceived, making people think that it is a relatively easy path.
Moreover, the whole article uses guessing words such as "fear", "perhaps", "possibly", etc. to describe the things in one's imagination as if they were real things.
Similarly, for Zhang Yu's past achievements, if there were other people involved, they tried their best to exalt Zhang Yu, downplay Zhang Yu, and even use some people for comparison, just to make people think that Zhang Yu was not needed for these things.
In fact, someone with a little bit of skill could have done the same job, but it just happened to happen to Zhang Yu.
For example, Zhang Yu was left alone to kill the Yaoxiao, save a ship of people, and even chase after him for thousands of miles to kill the strange gods who attacked the officials in the capital. They really couldn't erase it, so they started to find someone to analyze it.
Comments.
Why did Zhang Yu not join the Xuanfu at that time? How could he possibly deal with a Yaoyao Xiu if he was not a Xuanxiu? So Yaoxiao was "probably" hit by Dafu's gunfire before he was killed by Zhang Yu and was dying.
, this is reasonable and reasonable.
As for the pursuit of the Ability God, the article believes that "perhaps" the Ability God had already been seriously injured by the counterattack of many guards when they were evacuating, so Zhang Yu just got an advantage when he went up. They also invited many yamen here.
The relatives of the bodyguard said that they could prove that Ability God was indeed injured after he left.
As for how the government guards, who were wiped out on the spot, told the news to their relatives, that is not part of their discussion.
These articles were published for several days, and the people behind them tried to use these remarks to lower the evaluation of Zhang Yu's past achievements.
These practices are not useless, because those who are recommended as scholars must undergo "three inquiries" and pass all three inquiries before they can become "scholars". The conclusion of one of the inquiries is made by people from the bottom of the civil society.
Yes, if the person selected as a scholar does not have good public opinion among the people, then it is very likely that he will not be selected as a scholar in the end.
Zhang Yu also saw these newspapers, but this time he did not take the initiative to distinguish anything, because the Security Council and the Academy had already hinted that he did not need to worry about anything before the scholar's meeting, and that all matters would be left to them to handle.
However, he did not expect that before these two families started to exert their efforts, Xiao was the first to express his dissatisfaction.
Xiao felt that when Xiao Qingshu was alive, Zhang Yu was the person whom Xiao Qingshu admired the most, and he published many articles to advocate for it, and Zhang Yu personally wrote an inscription for him. If the newspapers criticized Zhang Yu in such a negative way, wouldn't it mean that Xiao Qingshu was ignorant?
, doesn’t Mr. Xiao also know people?
The influence of the Xiao family is also very great, especially Xiao Qingshu's brother Xiao Qingzhan is still the head of the Sihu Yamen Office. They are the same neutral faction as Liu Fengquan. Originally they did not get involved in the fight between the two factions, but this time they spoke out.
Many people who originally remained neutral have come to side with the traditionalists.
The people behind the article saw that the situation was not right, so they restrained themselves somewhat, but their methods did not stop there. After a few days, people began to come to visit Zhang Yu one after another, and they were all senior old men.
Zhang Yu has an inner sense and can clearly see the thoughts and emotions of these people. He just wants to persuade him to give in and not let "his own people" fight first. He is still young and there will be opportunities in the future.
But these people have never thought about who started the fight in the first place, and in the eyes of these people, only what is right is in line with their own selfish interests, and they will never allow others to get involved in what they have already set their sights on.
Therefore, he ignored them at all and blocked all such visitors from the door.
He could also imagine that if these people could not see him, they would definitely slander him with disrespectful remarks about their elders and seniors. However, even if they met, as long as they could not achieve their goals, they could still use other words to slander him.
he.
Li Qinghe suggested: "Sir, why don't we move to Xuan Mansion so that it can be quieter?"
Zhang Yu said calmly: "It's useless. Even if I go to Xuan Mansion, I can come here under the guise of coming to discuss knowledge. If you can't see me, then you can say that I am not good at learning. Otherwise, why would I hide with a guilty conscience?"
They? Anyway, they can always find a reason to talk about you."
When Li Qinghe heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Sir, isn't this too shameless for this generation?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "You are right, but the struggle for interests has always been like this. If you can't even pass this level, how can you be a 'scholar'?"
To become a scholar, you will naturally have to stand on the cusp of the storm. This is a must-pass. He has already prepared for it, and dealing with these things is also a way to prove his ability.
He doesn't need to pay attention to it now, and he doesn't need to think about how to deal with it, because he is not alone. He has the full support of the Security Patrol Council and the Academy, and these two companies will mobilize their own strength to deal with everything.
If things don't work out, it will not only be his failure, but also the failure of these two families.
However, he could also see that it was not just the Yao family that was opposed to this matter, but many other forces behind it that were promoting it intentionally or unintentionally.
The recent frequent actions of the Yao family have also made many conservatives dissatisfied. In their view, Zhang Yu is also one of them, and the Yao family took the initiative to jump out to oppose it. This is completely an internal fight, no matter who loses or wins.
It was a loss for the conservative faction, and the Yao clan members did this entirely out of their own selfish interests, with no regard for the overall situation, so the conservative faction immediately took action.
Yao soon discovered that all his channels for speaking out were blocked, and no conservative newspaper was willing to publish their article.
The Yao clan members were very unwilling to accept this. After internal discussions and the instigation of some thoughtful people, they immediately turned around and looked for newspapers in other academic palaces.
Then a scene that made people laugh appeared. Yao, one of the biggest forces of the conservative faction, actually went to the newspaper of his former opponent to express his voice and began to curse and accuse the conservative faction.
Superintendent Chi couldn't bear it at this time, so he called Hong Xueling over and said, "What does Mr. Yao say?"
Hong Xueliang said: "Mr. Yao has been in a coma recently, and Mr. Yao is by his side every day. I heard that he is not leaving us for a moment, so it is not good to bother him at this time. Moreover, even if we want to go to Yao's house, I'm afraid
The Yao family members will also try their best to prevent us from seeing him."
Chi Xue’s supervisor understood that Mr. Yao’s mansion probably still didn’t know what was going on outside, so it’s no wonder that things turned out like this.
During the hundred years that the Yao family had been in the Duhu Mansion, their influence among the people was very great. If this continued, a large group of people would indeed follow.
He was also a little angry in his heart, and said coldly: "These unscrupulous disciples in my husband's house, do they think this can isolate them from the news? Before, I took good care of Yao's face and gave them some escape routes. Since they don't know what to do, it's no wonder.
Me."
He paused and said, "The student who is good friends with Yang Weiwei is called An Chuer, right?
Hong Xueliang said: "Yes, she is also a student of Teacher Zhang."
Superintendent Chi said: "Okay, you ask An Chu'er to try to bring a message to Yang Weiwei. It's up to you to decide how to say it specifically."
Hong Xueliang bowed his head and said: "Yes, I will make arrangements right away."
On the second day, Yang Ying came to visit Yao Gong's mansion on behalf of the Governor in the name of a student. Although the Yao clan knew that she was Zhang Yu's student, they could not stop her and allowed her to successfully see Yao Gong's mansion.
Inform the latter of the upcoming events.
When Duke Yao learned about this, he was so angry that he immediately called his tribesmen for questioning and told them to stop immediately. However, those tribesmen not only refused to listen, but even united to persuade him.
When Yao Gongfu saw his clansmen acting like this, he knew that good words were useless. After making a careful decision, he made a statement in the newspaper the next day, saying that the comments made by the Yao clan members were not his wishes, nor the meaning of his husband's family. The previous comments
Most of them are slanderous and untrue.
In fact, he knew that this was not a good choice. The family scandal should not be made public, and in this way, Yao's reputation would inevitably be affected. It would be impossible to recommend his descendants as "scholars" in the future, but he still did it.
, the real prestige of the Yao family is the two princes. Without these two, the remaining people are nothing, so when he speaks out, the Yao family is filled with mourning, and there is completely no sound outside.
Zhang Yu also saw that after this person spoke out, most of the bad opinions against him suddenly disappeared, and the situation was gradually getting better. However, he knew that it was not the time to celebrate the victory now, and it would be until February when the scholars discussed it.
I'm afraid there is still a real battle waiting for him.
