In his previous life, Xu Guangzhi was known for his good at policy theory, and every splendid article would be spread and highly sought after by his disciples. Guan Suyi was bored and often read, and when he was sent to a different village, he died, so he studied word by word like a demon, to compare him with his grandfather and father.
To tell the truth, he is indeed a prolific writer, and his literary talent is outstanding. If you rank the seniors in terms of writing and writing, he should be the top group among the best. From presenting arguments to step-by-step verification, and then to throwing conclusions, it can be called interlocking. , brilliant. And his brushwork is too special, so after only reading one opening, Guan Suyi can be sure that this must be his article!
"Father, have you really discussed this article with Shang Chongwen, and he is very familiar with the essence of it, and his answers are fluent?" Guan Suyi confirmed again and again.
"Naturally, after each discussion, he can come up with more subtle points, and then correct them together with me." Father Guan noticed something was wrong and frowned, "Why does Yiyi ask such a question? Could it be that there is something wrong with this article?"
"Father, this article is by no means written by Shang Chongwen, but by Xu Guangzhi. You must have watched the Ten Days Debate, but you can carefully recall every word of his, from the concise and to-the-point beginning to the middle of the argument. , and then to the end that is thought-provoking, this kind of link-style prose is his unique technique. Dad, you quickly send someone to investigate, I suspect that Shang Chongwen has joined hands with him, intending to set you and your grandfather down. ."
The old man Guan's eyes were full of light, and he said solemnly, "Bring the article to me and look at it."
Guan Fu sent people to secretly investigate Shang Chongwen's recent whereabouts, and he and the old man read the text carefully, and really found many traces. They are naturally familiar with Shang Chongwen's writing style, but they are very unfamiliar with Xu Guangzhi's prose, but those who have heard his ten-day debate will be impressed by his profound knowledge, so it is not without evidence.
At the beginning, this article does seem to have the style of Shang Chongwen, but after in-depth study, the essence of its skeleton is Xu Guangzhi's handwriting, and the understanding of "studying things to know" is completely in line with Xu Guangzhi's point of view in the ten-day debate. It only involved one or two sentences, but it failed to attract the attention of others.
Grandpa Guan and Father Guan are the world's literary giants, and they are best at viewing people with literature. How can they miss all kinds of doubts? I didn't notice it before because I had great trust in my students, and I didn't think about conspiracies at all. Now that Guan Suyi has exposed it, he naturally understands the key.
"Shang Chongwen is a good man, and he always responds fluently. It can be seen that he has discussed and negotiated with the real author, and then sent it to me. Now I have recommended him to serve as an official. If there is a matter of stealing texts and stealing names in the future, I will share with you. Not only will my grandfather commit the sin of being cronyism and bullying the king, but he will also end up with the end of his literary reputation. The thousand-year-old reputation of the Guan family will be destroyed by our hands!" Guan's father was heartbroken and slapped the table with anger.
The old man Guan was as steady as Mount Tai, and said solemnly, "What's the hurry, let's wait for the people below to get concrete evidence. For literati, the crime of stealing a literary name is comparable to beheading, which can make him never turn over. Once the scandal breaks out, Our family is unlucky, and Shang Chongwen will definitely be doomed. Why do you think he is willing to lose his future and reputation? Xu Guangzhi must have held the deadly handle. If you dig deep into his background, you will definitely find clues..."
Guan's father quickly calmed down and cupped his hands, "What my father said is that my son will send some more people to investigate. The emperor has not issued a decree to recruit Shang Chongwen into office. If Xu Guangzhi wants to take revenge, this is not the best time. We still have time to turn the tide.”
"It's good to know, go check it out." The old man Guan looked at his granddaughter and said with relief, "Thanks to Yiyi today. Your brothers and sisters, including your father, can't do anything for you, so I have to come in person. Teaching can be successful!"
"Grandfather, are you always complimenting me or yourself?" Guan Suyi couldn't help laughing and crying, and asked again, "If we can't find any concrete evidence, what will our family do?" Xu Guangzhi was extremely cunning. Putting it on the table as a scapegoat will not leave any evidence that involves him. It is very difficult to treat him, Ye Zhen, Zhao Luli, and even Qin Lingyun have not been able to hurt his skin in the previous life, the tricks are obvious.
Mr. Guan was not at all frightened, and said indifferently, "If you can't catch his tail this time, then we will see the real chapter in the next round. But Shang Chongwen will definitely leave a lot of clues, after all, Xu Guangzhi will also pierce his crime of plagiarism later, the evidence It's all enough, let's take it directly from him."
"After getting it?" Guan Suyi was still worried.
"After I get it, I will report it to the front of the imperial court, and take part in the crime of your father's oversight." Mr. Guan said word by word.
Guilty of neglect? This is much less than the three crimes of nepotism, bullying, and stealing names. If the father impeaches the son, and the son repents again, the Guan family's reputation will not be damaged, but will be even better. Since then, the Guan family has been an example of selflessness, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and the emperor will not impose heavy punishments on the grandfather's face.
Guan Suyi thought about it for a while, and finally calmed down. She smiled at the old man and sighed, "Grandfather, they said that Jiang is still old and hot, and I finally have a deep understanding of it today."
Guan's father also bowed his hands in shame and apologized again and again.
The old man Guan was still in the same state as before, waved his hands and said lightly, "The officialdom is like a battlefield, it can be said that the situation is changing, every step is shocking, we may die if we are not careful. However, I still say that, only It is necessary to follow the path of loyalty and uprightness, worthy of the monarch above, worthy of the people below, and no regrets even in death.”
"Father's teachings, sons should keep in mind." Guan's father bowed deeply, and Guan Suyi also quickly bowed down.
Grandpa Guan thought for a while, and added, "Although I almost fell into the trap of a traitor, but in the future, you should not be too shy when recommending talented people. Even if it is your disciples and grandchildren, those who have real talents and practical skills will still be able to learn. If you have to recommend it, don’t give up eating because of choking. If Yiyi was not a daughter, I would have written a letter of guarantee to recommend her as the Great Sima.”
Father Guan was waiting for Wei Wei to answer his promise, and when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help laughing. The old man is really a precious granddaughter. He always thinks that the granddaughter is the only one in the world, and even his father has to retreat.
Guan Suyi also laughed "pochi", holding her grandfather's arm for a good time.
----
As Guan Suyi expected, Shang Chongwen's theft of the article really left a lot of evidence, but Xu Guangzhi was not implicated in the slightest.
Xu Guangzhi first went to Jueyin Temple to worship the Buddha, and then "improvised" an article to share with the eminent monk Xuanguang. The monks did not lie, so Xuanguang silently accepted the manuscript and did not pass it on. A few days later, Shang Chongwen also went to Jueyin Temple to enjoy the scenery, and he saw the article by "coincidence". article, and then found the original owner, used the identity of Taichang's disciple to "coerce and lure" and ordered him not to make a statement, so he submitted it and took the opportunity to enter the office.
Now that the original manuscript is in Jueyin Temple, and the copied and imitated manuscripts are in Shang Chongwen's office. The three manuscripts and Xuanguang's testimony are iron proofs. When Shang Chongwen gets an official position, it will be revealed. The guilt was also fulfilled, and even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he could not be washed away.
Without waiting for Xu Guangzhi's action, Mr. Guan got the manuscripts one by one, let Xuanguang write his testimony, and forced Shang Chongwen to confess his guilt, and then went to the court meeting with all kinds of evidence.
The various incidents that happened in the Guan family have already been reported to Emperor Shengyuan by spies. The two Taishans are in trouble. How can he sit back and ignore it? , it comes naturally.
In today's court meeting, the one standing at the forefront is no longer Prime Minister Wang. The second government and the third division have one share, and the rights are all spread out. Everyone seems to have benefited, but no one can specialize in it. In the end, it is up to the emperor to decide. However, even so, it was stronger than being suppressed by Prime Minister Wang before and unable to lift his head, so he was calm and content with the status quo.
Emperor Shengyuan stepped onto the throne and raised his voice, "Do you have any important things to announce?"
Immediately, several people stood up to report, but the old man never moved. Emperor Shengyuan thought for a while, and suddenly said: This is to wait for him to take the initiative to mention Shang Chongwen's entry into office! All right, I will issue the imperial edict to help you build a ladder.
After listening to the government affairs patiently, he approved a few more memorials, then took out a volume of imperial edicts and said slowly, "Tai Changqing recommended Shang Chongwen to be admitted to the third division. I have seen his article as he has unique insights and talents, so I have..."
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has something to report!" Grandpa Guan interrupted loudly.
Emperor Shengyuan pretended to be surprised, "It's the same when the teacher has something to say later, why interrupt the word?"
Grandpa Guan took a step forward and knelt down to Chen Wei, "There is a person in Wei Chen who wants to impeach, and it is related to Shang Chongwen's entry into office, so he has to be disrespectful to the royal front."
Impeachment again? Who is this time? The courtiers immediately changed their faces, some were apprehensive, some secretly speculated, and some were looking forward to it. Good guy, last time I impeached Ye Quanyong and the emperor, this time even his own son was not spared, the emperor is really cruel!
Hearing the end, the courtiers who were either horrified or gloating over their misfortune all bowed their heads, revealing the color of deep contemplation and reflection. It turned out that Tai Changqing did not make any big mistakes, but he was oversighted for a while and was deceived by his disciples. In the heart of the emperor and teacher, there are only four words "loyal to the king and patriotism", and there are all selfless and distracting thoughts. His iron bones and arrogant righteousness are undoubtedly the unparalleled national scholars!
Before they could finish their sighs, they saw that Tai Changqing removed his official hat and robe, knelt down and repented, and bluntly said that he was negligent in his duties, and his eyes were so fascinated that he condoned raising traitors and mistreated talents. He was not worthy of the post of Taichang Qing. Emperor dismissed.
The courtiers breathed a sigh of relief. They never expected that Tai Changqing would have such a potential to sink the boat. If it were himself, he would just kneel down and confess his guilt and then apologize. How could he destroy his future for a student? Guan Jia is so daring, so tough!
Not only did the civil servants kneel down and plead for mercy, but even the military generals also came out to protect Taichangqing.
Emperor Sheng Yuan looked down on the clear and righteous court, and couldn't help laughing. good! What he wants is such a wide-ranging situation, and what he expects is this splendid atmosphere. The emperor and Taichang are really the backbones of Anbang and the country!
