Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 774 Who Said That Scholars Are Useless

"What's the matter with those two children?" Song Qiyun looked curiously at the two children who had been scolded by Bai Meng like frost beating eggplants. Small quail with a bald tail. "Whose family? Looks like he is very familiar with the commander-in-chief."

"Master Ai and Mr. Mi's children are probably here to join in the fun." Song Jue took a look, "I don't know what happened. These kids didn't study well in the academy, so they ran out to join in the fun."

"Children, they all like to be lively." Taking off the bamboo hat, His Highness King Ning lazily leaned against the wall next to him, watched the movement below, and smiled meaningfully.

Song Jue and Song Qiyun looked at each other, reached out to touch their knees, um, it hurts a bit.

"It's not just a matter of joining in the fun, isn't it?" Jin Miaomiao sat beside Shen Cha and looked out through her, "It shouldn't be a trivial matter to disturb the three major academies in Xijing City. I heard that Tai Xue They have never participated in such activities, they only care about studying, and they feel uncomfortable if they don’t study for a day, and now they can spare time for studying, which shows that this matter is very important in their hearts.”

"That's right." His Royal Highness King Ning nodded, "Master Jin said well, it is a rare thing to be able to let the students of the three major academies, especially the Taixue, put down their books. Such a spectacle, It is almost impossible to appear. However, if I remember correctly..." He took a sip of tea, "The last time this miracle happened was 20 years ago."

"20 years ago?"

None of the children at this table had participated in what happened 20 years ago, and they all looked at His Highness Ning Wang curiously, expecting him to tell the story of what happened 20 years ago in detail.

"Uncle Wang, why hasn't anyone mentioned it before?" Song Jue held a plate of dried fruit and looked at His Highness Ning Wang with great interest, "Is it because it's not very important? Or is it because you don't care at all?"

"Probably all of them." His Highness King Ning yawned, and waved at Jin Miaomiao who handed him the dried fruit, "This matter was covered up by other matters."

"what's up?"

"The old King Jin sent the eldest prince here as a hostage!" His Highness King Ning looked at the children with a smile, saw the surprised expressions on their faces, and shook his head slightly, "Why do you think the old King Jin would You made such a decision? Why did you suddenly think of this? It happened for a reason at the time! You all know that back then, Da Xia emphasized civility over martial arts...Of course, it wasn’t so obvious, but it still had some differences with Jin and Liao. It's a big gap, and we have to admit that, right?"

"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded in agreement, "Even now, we still have a certain gap with them, so we must be more vigilant, even if the other party is our ally, we must not take it lightly."

"However, since we know that we value literature over martial arts, they should use their strengths to attack our weaknesses. What does it have to do with the academy?" Song Jue expressed his puzzlement, "Or...they think they are all-rounders in civil and military affairs, and want to Hit us in all directions?"

"That's right." His Royal Highness King Ning nodded, "That's what they are going to do. The old King Jin originally asked the eldest prince to bring a group of so-called literati from the Kingdom of Jin to provoke him. They are proud of their literati demeanor. However, they never thought that they would be so vulnerable." He spread his hands and said helplessly, "We also didn't expect that we valued them too much, and the previous preparations were useless. "

"What did you do?" Song Qiyun looked at His Royal Highness Ning curiously, "Isn't it to gather outstanding students from the three academies and choose the better one among them?"

"That's right, that's it." His Royal Highness King Ning nodded and pointed below, "The scene is even more spectacular than this. The literati came to challenge and compared for three days and three nights, a total of 21 rounds, not only the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also the genres that scholars like them care about and like."

"How is the result?"

"Naturally, we won a complete victory. The whole army of the Kingdom of Jin was annihilated. The eldest prince kept his previous promise and stayed in Xijing City as a hostage."

"Maybe this is the reason why Old Jin Wang disliked him and blamed him?"

"Then I don't know." His Royal Highness King Ning shook his head, "At that time, I was thinking, who said that the useless is for scholars? In many cases, scholars are also useful, although scholars are also particularly capable of causing trouble, such as now .”

"My lord is right, he is really capable of causing trouble." Ying Wu flipped in from the outside lightly, and landed behind Shen Cha, "I figured it out, it was because of the problem with the poetry collection. This is not ordinary It’s not like what the commander-in-chief said before, if you don’t like it, you have to report. It’s that the students of the Hanlin Academy were suspected of stealing and plagiarizing the poems of the three academies and gentlemen, and the students of the three academies I saw it by accident, and it was exposed. But they didn’t do the swill or anything, and no one admitted it.” He pointed to the bottom, “It’s because a few Hanlin felt dissatisfied, so they directly complained to the governor, and let the government Mr. Yin thoroughly investigated this matter. Mr. Fu Yin did not know where he got the news that their collection of poems was suspected of plagiarism and theft, so he sent people to the three academies to invite the head of the mountain and Mr. who are related to this collection of poems. And As soon as the students who made the report heard that they were going to go to the lobby, they gave up their studies, and ran to support their mountain chiefs and gentlemen, and wanted to seek justice for them.”

"Is the evidence convincing?" Song Jue's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his voice was so cold that he could freeze people to death. He never expected that there would be such a scum in the Imperial Academy. "What did the gentlemen of the academy say?"

"How else can I say it?" Ying Wu sighed, "A total of fifteen or dozens of lines of poems have been plagiarized, each line can be clearly and clearly stated, and even the circumstances of each poem You can tell what you have done, and there is absolutely no escape from the solid evidence.”

"Those Hanlins admitted it?"

"Of course not, I will deny it to the death." Ying Wu shrugged, "They are now, I copied it, and you have evidence that I copied it, but I just deny it. As long as I deny it, no one can do anything to me. He shook his head lightly, "Looking at them like that, it's really embarrassing. Even Lord Fu Yin feels that these few have insulted the Imperial Academy."

"Pass me an order to thoroughly investigate this case and the Hanlin Academy to see if there are any such scumbags. As for these few Hanlin..." Song Jue sneered, "Since they are so willing to copy others, let them Copy it in prison for the rest of your life!"

"Yes!"
