Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 360 True and False Comments on Three Talents on the Five List

The name Chen Zhi is very familiar to Liu Yi and others. Even though he has never met him, he has heard this name almost every day since the death of his father Liu Yuan.

Not only Liu Yi, but also Jin Zhun, Shi Le and others. Whether it is discussions in the court or quarrels in the army, this name is almost inseparable.

Who made the death of the Xiongnu leader closely connected with this name?

Before Jin Zhun and the others left on their mission this time, I don’t know how many forces sent people to deliver messages to them, or simply came to talk to them. The message was that if possible, they had better tell this story. You can't bring him back home, or you can just find a way to kill that person. At the end of the day, you have to be humiliated.

After all, the propaganda of the New Han Dynasty court was false. Liu Yuan's death was the result of many factors, but the real root cause was that he was seriously ill, and then he was very sad and happy, and finally died. But it is undeniable that Chen Zhi What he did, together with the news passed on, were indeed the direct trigger. Therefore, when the two countries were restraining themselves, the Hun nobles had nowhere to vent their anger or ulterior motives, and they were all poured into Chen Zhi. on the body.

Along the way, the Huns envoys asked about Chen Zhi many times, and the result was that he ascended to the throne through Liu Yuan's death!
Liu Yi and others couldn't bear it. When they heard someone mention Chen Zhi, they couldn't calm down.

"You guys please tell me clearly, what happened to Chen Zhi?" Liu Yi came to several scholars, raised his chin slightly, looked at the people in front of him, and asked in a cold voice.

After all, he has been a prince for a long time, he is still young, and he feels that the Huns have won a big victory. In addition, he is driven by a special sense of inferiority complex, mixed with anger in his heart, so this scolding is that he does not save any face for the scholars, arrogant and shameless. Li, which immediately made a few people angry.

"What a big deal! The barbarian chieftain from a small foreign country came to our land of China and still looks like this. It's simply ridiculous!"

Suddenly someone stood up and reached out to pull out the sword from his waist. But before he could do it, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Liu Yi. He was as majestic as a hill, powerful and strong, it was Shi Le.

The background of blue veins can be vaguely seen on this person's face. Although it is very light, it seems that part of it has been burned off, but the traces are obvious. Combined with the pale face of the Jieren, it suddenly looks extremely ferocious, and the lust is pulled out. The man with the sword was shocked.

"Shi Le, don't be rude!"

Suddenly, Jin Zhun's voice came from behind. He walked over in a leisurely manner, looked at the few scholars, smiled and bowed his hands: "Gentlemen, please don't panic, we are a small foreign country and don't understand etiquette." , I made you laugh. At first glance, you can see that they are all highly knowledgeable people. You can see our origins. When we came, the Lord specifically said that there are many outstanding people in the Central Plains, and there are many heroes, and that Pengcheng Chen Shouyi , it has been famous throughout the country for a long time, so I wanted to ask, this is not a shameful thing, why don't you tell me?"

He made up some things and said things that everyone knew were lies. He and Shi Le, one with a black face and the other with a white face, walked down the stairs to a group of scholars. Then he waved to the shopkeeper, took out a lot of money, and ordered wine and food.

"I'm trying to calm you down, but I hope you won't refuse."

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. The scholars were intimidated by Shi Le's bravery, and seeing that Jin Zhun had made enough gestures, they got off the donkey and sat down again, with somewhat unnatural expressions on their faces.

When Liu Yi saw this, he sneered in his heart. He felt that these Chinese scholars were all fierce in appearance and had embroidered pillows, which made people look down on him. However, seeing Jin Zhun come forward, he stopped saying anything and sat aside, looking at everyone coldly. .

Shi Le pulled a chair over and sat down with a golden sword.

He was like this, and other people in the wine shop also noticed the movement here. Some of them were a little afraid of trouble, so they quickly put down their drink money and turned around to leave. There were also some good people who came over and took a few steps away, whispering and looking at him.

Regardless of anything else, Jin Zhun sat down, toasted several scholars, and asked: "I heard some people talk about Chen Zhi before. I know that this man is now Tai Leling. Could it be that he did something important while in office?" ?”

"Characters like Chen Taile are rare in the world. Not only has he done great things, he has also done nothing small!"

Perhaps due to oppression or public anger, in short, these scholars raised Chen Zhi very high as if to suppress the arrogance of the Huns.

"Oh? Is he such an amazing person? Then I want to hear what extraordinary things this Tai Leling has done. As far as I know, your Han Tai Leling is in charge of music, right? ." Liu Yi said without hesitation, and anyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.

"Haha, barbarian, no wonder you don't understand." The scholar did not argue and smiled softly. The word "haha" seemed to have magic power, which instantly angered Liu Yi and made the young Hun prince take action. The impulse was overwhelming, but before he could actually take action, he was interrupted by a burst of noise outside the window.

coax!
Outside the wine shop, there seemed to be an instant mutiny. There were hundreds of troops roaring and the sounds were repeated, attracting the people in the room.

Liu Yi, Jin Zhun and others followed the sound and saw a crowd of people outside the window, all running in the same direction. There were men and women in the crowd, old and young, all with eager faces, as if they were looking forward to it. What.

"What is this doing? Is it Luoyang custom?"

Liu Yi and others were busy saying hello, and they didn't even bother to get angry.The scribe who was threatened by him just now snorted coldly and said, "Don't you underestimate Tai Leling? The scene outside the window is caused by Chen Taile!"

The Huns were stunned when they heard this, and turned to look out the window, feeling confused and surprised in their hearts.

Is the scene outside the window caused by Chen Zhi?

Outside the window, there were people running in the streets and alleys. It was no exaggeration to say that there were also people supporting the old and the young, which made people more and more confused.

"May I ask this gentleman, what is the reason why everyone is so popular?" Jin Zhun simply asked, as if they were not sarcastic just now, looking sincere and friendly.

The scholar didn't want to answer at first, but after looking at Shi Le's fist, he still said: "Today is the fake final review of the literary review. It will determine the three talents of heaven, earth and man in the third list, who will participate in the true final review three days later." Comment!”

"Fake review? C list? Man of heaven and earth? Man of three talents? What does this mean?"

It was a good thing that Jin Zhun didn't ask. When he asked, everyone looked at each other and became even more confused. They only felt that what they heard in their ears were words they had never heard before. The confusion in their hearts became more and more intense.

After thinking about it, Jin Zhun had to bite the bullet and asked for detailed advice.

………………

"I really didn't expect that this so-called literary criticism, which is obviously a matter for famous people, would be so highly praised by the people of Luoyang for its elegance. Every day when the literary criticism was published, the streets would be filled with people, and the streets around Taile Department would be filled with people. It’s so crowded!”

In the palace, the Human Emperor Liu Dai was also lamenting the same thing, and he looked excited and eager to try. Mo Anjie who was watching next to him felt worried, fearing that the situation of the previous few days would happen again——

A few days ago, as soon as the first review of the literary review came out, it caused a stir. Everyone talked about it. There were everyone inside and outside Luoyang who didn't know about it. Even the palace was full of people talking about it.

According to the agreement between Chen Zhi and the emperor, when the literary review started, the emperor should go there and give his blessing. Liu Dai saw the scene and couldn't forget it after he came back. When he heard that the first review was very popular, he couldn't hold it anymore and actually wanted Bailong. Yufu, after leaving the palace in disguise, he also went to join in the fun. He had to take part in the preliminary review of the literary review under a pseudonym, which was fun.

But whoever dared to agree to such a request, Mo Anjie stopped the emperor at that time.

Even so, in recent days, Liu Dai has not even been able to take care of government affairs, and has been so focused on this literary review that Mo Anjie regretted having agreed to Chen Zhi's request.

"Darling, in a few days the final review will be held. According to Chen Zhi's arrangement, all the academies will first submit articles, and the best ones will be selected. Each academy will try to select one or two articles, and let the writers of the articles be selected. People went to Taile Department in batches and were evaluated and screened by ten people. Finally, 50 people were selected and divided into the five lists of A, B, C, D, and W. This was the initial evaluation, and then the current fake evaluation. It was divided into five days, and every day There is a list of scholars who come forward. There are only three people left at the end of each list, which is the number of the three talents of heaven and earth. These three talents from the five lists will participate in the true evaluation, which is the final evaluation, three days later. The winner will get Luoyang from Nanshan Academy. A plaque for the first-place article, and many other rewards.”

The more the Human Emperor talked, the more excited he became, and in the end, he actually felt a little overwhelmed.

"I have never seen such individuals, so many talented people, in the past. For the sake of being number one, many academies do not care about anything, and they only want to achieve success. Daban, what do you think of such a scene? How can you not go?"

This was what Mo Anjie feared the most, so he couldn't help but persuade: "The Taile Department is small, and there are many people at the time of the final evaluation. There will be a mixture of fish and dragons. His Majesty is concerned about the safety of the world, so how can he leave lightly? It is better to wait for the result in the palace."

"What? I heard that during the daily appraisal, the people of Luoyang were moved by the news and gathered outside Taile Office. Could it be that I am not as good as these ordinary people? Can't I witness such a grand event with my own eyes?"

Mo Anjie took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty does not know something. Because of this, we must be cautious. People gathered outside Taile Office and crowded the wide street. There is no way to detect who is inside. Your Majesty How can I get involved lightly?"

The emperor was angry: "That's unreasonable! Why are you so skillful in persuading me? I've obviously heard about it. If you, an old guy, have time, you would go over and take a look. Why can't I?"

It turned out that although Mo Anjie was loyal to the emperor, he also had hobbies. Recently, he was also obsessed with literary criticism. Sometimes he would go over to watch it in person. Somehow the emperor found out about it and talked about it, which made him look embarrassed.

Just as he was thinking about how to excuse himself, a small yellow man came in a hurry and bowed down to the audience.

"Your Majesty, something happened in the Taile Department!"
