Yang Fan's sudden appearance disrupted Xu Jingzong's formation.
It stands to reason that he is the most scheming person among the nobles in Jiangnan.
From the original history, we can know that Xu Jingzong was a man who could endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.
Originally, he arranged for Huang Bi to file a complaint against Li Tai to discredit Yang Fan on the groundless charge of plagiarism.
You know, Xu Jingzong had already begun preparations after he was embarrassed at Wangyue Tower.
At that time, after Yang Fan composed the poem "When will the bright moon come", he used the birds he secretly trained to send a message to Huang Bi, asking him to keep the poem as his own in Jiangnan.
In this era of limited information circulation, their plans were obscured.
Yang Fan wrote this poem at noon on Qiuxi, while Huang Ben stole it in the early morning of the next day, a time difference of about seven hours.
What Xu Jingzong planned was a gap in information and distance.
Because no one could have imagined that someone could spread this poem from Chang'an to Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, in just seven or eight hours.
This is also the reason why Huang Bi was so bold to accuse Yang Fan of plagiarism.
Of course, this time the Jiangnan nobles sent people to the capital, their purpose was not just to deal with Yang Fan, but to prevent the emperor from reaching out to Jiangnan.
Xu Jingzong, as one of the representatives of the Jiangnan gentry, would of course also be involved and prevent His Majesty Li Er from reaching out to Jiangnan.
But he didn't want to be the one who stood out, so he used the hole he dug for Yang Fan a year ago.
This is also the reason why Huang Bi accused Yang Fan of plagiarism.
In his opinion, having the great Confucian Chen Xueli testify can definitely achieve the purpose of confusing the public.
As long as the rumors of Yang Fan's plagiarism are deeply ingrained in everyone's minds.
Even if Yang Fan wanted to refute it afterwards, it would be of no use.
But something unexpected happened.
Li Tai and Yang Fan had never dealt with each other, but they never thought that Yang Fan would also be invited to today's banquet.
It seems that the plan has changed!
At this time, Xu Jingzong was very entangled in his heart. He was weighing whether to step forward and give Yang Fan a hard blow.
After the incident at Wangyue Tower, Xu Jingzong actually didn't want to confront Yang Fan head-on.
But now that he had finally invited the emperor over, Xu Jingzong would not be reconciled if he just gave up.
After all, the reason why the emperor rushed here today was because Xu Jingzong secretly revealed the whereabouts of Chen Xueli, a great scholar.
It can be said that Xu Jingzong was indispensable for the emergence of the emperor.
The purpose is to let His Majesty Li Er have a good reputation and confirm Yang Fan's reputation for plagiarism.
As long as Yang Fan is stigmatized, His Majesty Li Er will not be able to send Yang Fan to Jiangnan to open up shipping routes and let the imperial court coordinate maritime trade.
In the eyes of the Jiangnan nobles, as long as Yang Fan's reputation is tarnished, Li Er's determination to reach out to Jiangnan will be shaken.
When the time comes, these Jiangnan nobles will make a fuss and give some benefits. As long as His Majesty Li Er's appearance is not too ugly, the Jiangnan nobles can give up some benefits and fool around as before.
They can continue to dominate their own one-third of an acre of land.
As the school inspector Huangmen Shizhong, Xu Jingzong certainly knew the emperor's determination to intervene in Jiangnan, and he was very strong in this matter.
Anyone who wants to stop him will not end up well, and to replace the emperor's hand reaching out to Jiangnan, there is no doubt that the most suitable candidate is Yang Fan.
The purpose of Huang Ben and others coming to the capital this time is to cut off the emperor's hand that is about to reach south of the Yangtze River.
For this reason, they even did not hesitate to let Chen Xueli, a famous scholar from Jiangnan, happen to accompany him to Beijing.
Now Yang Fan's unexpected appearance made Xu Jingzong know that if he didn't take action, their plan might fail.
However, Xu Jingzong was still hesitant. He was weighing the pros and cons.
He knew very well that from the moment Yang Fan appeared, it was impossible to really discredit Yang Fan.
But through this incident, the only effect that could be achieved was to make the emperor realize the determination of the Jiangnan gentry to resist.
As one of the representatives of the Jiangnan gentry, Xu Jingzong knew that he must not retreat at this moment.
You must know that the Jiangnan gentry have long been interdependent on each other and have become a whole with interests.
Marriage, sea trade, officialdom...
The concerted efforts of all parties made the wise and mighty Majesty Li Er have to be wary of the Jiangnan nobles.
Although it is said that Jiangnan belongs to the Tang Dynasty and is managed by the imperial court, in fact, they, the Jiangnan nobles, are the real emperors.
Over the years, they have also learned the power of unity.
Because only unity can make us stronger!
Therefore, even if we know that Yang Fan cannot be defeated, we still need to support this move.
Otherwise, if it causes disunity within the Jiangnan gentry, their interest group will collapse without the need for the emperor to take action.
Besides, Huang Ben is his son-in-law. If Yang Fan cannot establish his reputation for plagiarism, then Huang Ben will surely suffer the consequences.
Therefore, Xu Jingzong had a reason to speak out.
Now he really regretted letting the emperor come here, but the matter had come to this, and he had no choice but to retreat.
Xu Jingzong pondered for a moment, organized his words, and said: "Your Majesty, I just listened to the story of the Crown Prince and the King of Wei. Huang Ben's words do make some sense."
"Everyone knows that Wannian County Fair is impulsive and aggressive at times. He can only speak with his fists. He doesn't look like a person who has read poetry and books at all."
"It is indeed doubtful that such a person can continuously write masterpieces of poetry that have been passed down through the ages."
"Many of Yang Fan's poems have a profound understanding of human nature or emotions. If a person has never experienced the emotion of separation, how can he write such profound poems?"
"As Huang Ben said, Yang Fan has no pain of separation at all, so how can he write a poem about when the moon will be so melancholy?"
"From all these, it can be seen that this word must have been plagiarized. Therefore, I think Yang Fan's moral character needs to be improved. It is still open to debate whether to classify Zhangzhou and Quanzhou as his fiefdom. Please give your Majesty a clear warning."
hehe!
Yang Fan felt happy, this guy's fox tail was finally exposed!
Sure enough, it was Chao Yuan's proposal to establish a maritime yamen that caused a backlash from the Jiangnan family.
His Majesty Li Er also saw the clues and glanced at Xu Jingzong indifferently, feeling really angry in his heart.
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Xu Jingzong.
The drunkard's intention is not to drink!
Today Xu Jingzong rushed over in a hurry, obviously not to meet with any Jiangnan scholar.
But they Jiangnan scholars want to kill chickens to scare monkeys.
And Yang Fan is the chicken, and he has become the monkey.
As the emperor and in charge of the world, His Majesty Li Er does not like to be threatened the most.
Ji Li Khan had threatened him in the beginning, so Li Er let Ji Li die.
Some time ago, the Cui family of Qinghe took the lead and threatened me with an edict for committing crimes, so I asked him to exterminate his clan.
Having learned from the past, these Jiangnan nobles still want to repeat their old tricks. They really don't know how to live or die.
It seems that although today's incident seems to be aimed at Yang Fan, it is actually aimed at himself!
Besides, isn’t Jiangnan the territory of the Tang Dynasty?
Could it be that the shore of the land is the land of the king? You can make irresponsible remarks on who you want to give your fiefdom to and who will get it.
Besides, I only proposed to establish an yamen to manage overseas trade, and the purpose was also to increase the court's fiscal revenue.
You, the so-called Jiangnan aristocratic families, seem to have touched your lifeblood. You have united to fight against me. Do you really think that my sword will be harmful to you?
To be honest, if he were not afraid that excessive killing would cause turmoil in the world, His Majesty Li Er would really want to go on a killing spree!
In the land south of the Yangtze River, the people are rich and abundant.
As a territory of the Tang Dynasty, it was always outside the control of the imperial court. This was the biggest provocation to an emperor!
From this point of view, it doesn’t matter whether Yang Fan plagiarized or not!
They just want to prove that Yang Fan plagiarized, so as to achieve the purpose of putting pressure on me and demonstrating.
Li Er's mind was spinning, constantly calculating gains and losses, and considering how to deal with it.
At this moment, Yang Fan's voice sounded again.
"Shilang Xu keeps saying that what Huang Ben said makes sense, but there is no solid evidence. Is a person like you worthy of being called a famous official in the scholarly community?"
"It is said that the eighteen academic officials in the Qin Dynasty have all read poetry and books, and they are talented people. I think Xu Shilang is narrow-minded, and he is nothing more than that."
"Finally, I would like to ask, you said that I can only use fists and kicks, and without the elegance of a literati, it is impossible to write good poems. So, I dare to ask Mr. Xu, as a famous scholar, can you have any masterpieces that will be passed down through the ages?"
Hearing Yang Fan's question with a stick in his hand, His Majesty Li Er really wanted to clap his hands and applaud.
It also gave him an inexplicable feeling of peace in his heart, and a smile inadvertently appeared in the corners of his eyes.
Yes, with Yang Fan here, there is no need to worry at all.
Yang Fan is the best at dealing with this kind of provocation that comes to his door. It seems that he has never suffered a loss before.
The more ambiguous and undecidable the matter, the more Yang Fan is able to mess around with it.
Although Li Er was not sure whether the song "When Will the Bright Moon Come" was plagiarized by Yang Fan.
But he knew that even if Yang Fan really copied it, he would still have a way to deal with it!
I don't know where it started, but His Majesty Li Er actually had a kind of mysterious confidence in Yang Fan.
After hearing Yang Fan's words, everyone looked at Xu Jingzong.
It seems that a fierce confrontation is about to begin!
As a veteran who has followed His Majesty Li Er for a long time, he is also one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Mansion.
Today Xu Jingzong's status and achievements may be the lowest among the eighteen bachelors, but no one can deny his energy.
Being able to stand out from the cruel official struggle has proved that Xu Jingzong is excellent. How can such a person be easy to deal with?
On Xu Jingzong's side, when he heard Yang Fan's strange words, he felt like his heart was being pressed by a stone, and he could hardly breathe.
Yang Fan actually asked——
As a famous scholar, do you have any masterpieces that will be passed down through the ages?
This question is so heartbreaking!
Because the answer is no.
As one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Dynasty, Xu Jingzong not only achieved the lowest achievements, but also did not even have a single masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. This is indeed a shortcoming.
As Yang Fan said, what ability does Xu Jingzong have to question him?
Now being exposed in front of a young underachiever like Yang Fan, Xu Jingzong could not help but blush slightly, and even became a little angry with embarrassment.
Slowly exhaling, Xu Jingzong suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "Xu is stupid. Although he has been studying for decades and has read many ancient classics, he has never made any achievements. He is really unworthy of a saint.
Teaching.”
In fact, with Xu Jingzong's status, even if there are no masterpieces handed down to the world, there is no need to be afraid of Yang Fan. After all, the people standing behind him are the Jiangnan nobles.
But Xu Jingzong happened to meet such a being who didn't take the family seriously at all.
Hearing Xu Jingzong's words, Yang Fan sneered without hesitation.
Putting down the little Sizi, he walked over to Xu Jingzong.
First salute His Majesty Li Er, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and then look at Huang Ben.
To untie the bell, you still need someone to tie it!
Since this guy proposed plagiarism himself, of course he should use this as a breakthrough point.
You know, everything is Huang Ben's accusation against him.
I have to say that this guy has a good grasp of his point of view and what he says is easy to believe.
But the problem is, even if I plagiarized, there is no way I plagiarized you!
After all, the person who composed this poem didn’t even know his great-grandfather was born!
Unless Huang Ben is also a time-traveler, there will never be a poem about a complete collision.
So Yang Fan no longer paid attention to Xu Jingzong, but stared at Huang Ben and shouted in a serious tone: "I really don't know who gave you the courage to make up random things to frame Yu. Now that His Majesty is here, you still dare to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty.
You are talking nonsense and falsely accusing Zhongliang. How many heads do you think are enough to cut off? Believe it or not, I will twist off your head and use it as a ball to kick."
Your Majesty Li Er was as sinking as water, turning a deaf ear to Yang Fan's arrogance.
On the other hand, Li Chengqian and Li Tai felt that this was the Yang Fan they knew.
It's this kind of off-key tone, a way of speaking that shows contempt for everything, full of ridicule and contempt, it's so satisfying.
Huang Ben's face turned red and he hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
But Xu Jingzong couldn't ignore it and said angrily: "Yang Fan, your Majesty is here, how can you allow you to be so presumptuous!"
"You said that "When Will the Bright Moon Come" was written by you, but as a young boy who has never experienced the ups and downs of the human world, and the warmth and coldness of human relationships, how can you write such amazingly talented and otherworldly poems? As long as you
If you admit plagiarism, we won’t pursue it too much.”
Yang Fan did not get angry, but turned to look at Xu Jingzong, raising the corner of his mouth with a contemptuous smile: "Shilang Xu can kneel down and beg for mercy, but I am an upright man, and I don't like to kneel down and beg for mercy."
"Besides, as a celebrity like you who can't produce any works, what right do you have to doubt that others can't produce them?"
"Since you know how good people are, why did you waste half your life without writing a masterpiece? You are worthy of being ranked as the eighteenth bachelor of Qin Mansion. I don't think this bachelor's level is very good?"
Yang Fan didn't care at all that Xu Jingzong was furious, and continued calmly: "So, I can only say that you have little knowledge. You don't understand the world of geniuses like us at all!"
Xu Jingzong was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and his old face turned red and white!
Kneeling down and begging Yu Wenhuaji for mercy was a stain on his life...
When Yang Fan made this argument, it was no longer a slap in the face, but a knife to cut off a piece of flesh in Xu Jingzong's heart, which was so painful that he wished he could live.
Such a shameful old story was torn apart by Yang Fan bloody, how could Xu Jingzong not be filled with anger?
More importantly, Xu Jingzong has always managed his reputation as an upright and loyal minister, so he was known as a celebrity.
Now that Yang Fan was criticizing Huai, even if he tried to pretend, Xu Jingzong couldn't help but get furious!
Xu Jingzong glared at Yang Fan fiercely and shouted sternly: "Yang Fan, you are a child with a yellow mouth, you are so arrogant! In front of His Majesty, you dare to be so presumptuous and blatantly belittle the eighteen bachelors of the Qin family. Why are you so bold?"
Xu Jingzong was so angry that he almost exploded!
His Majesty Li Er also felt a little unhappy.
In any case, Xu Jingzong is also a celebrity he likes.
Now Yang Fan has devalued it as worthless. Doesn't that indirectly show that he, the emperor, has no vision?
The most irritating thing is the last sentence, 'You are also worthy of being ranked as the eighteenth bachelor of the Qin Mansion. I think this bachelor's level is not very good?'
His words were full of disdain and contempt!
The meaning is obvious, the eighteen bachelors of Qin Mansion are too low!
Seeing that Yang Fan had scolded a lot of his civil servants, His Majesty Li Er couldn't bear it. He snorted coldly and angrily said: "Yang Fan, if you have something to say, don't talk about it. If you don't tell me everything,
Come two or three, let’s see if your ass is harder or my dick is harder!”
"Nuo! Wei Chen knows!" Yang Fan immediately turned into a good baby.
Seeing Yang Fan's changes before and after, everyone suppressed their laughter and secretly gave a thumbs up.
Among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, only Yang Fan remained so calm and composed in the face of His Majesty Li Er's anger.
Sure enough, Yang Fan is still the same Yang Fan, just as fierce!
