Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 284 Asking the Elders to Give Names

As soon as these three words were spoken, everyone's attention naturally shifted from the words to the content of the article.

"On the Kingdoms? What is the meaning of these three words? Is this Xianbei person trying to discuss the current situation in the world? However, how can this be said to belong to the Kingdoms?"

Feedback on their first impression of these three words.

Countries, this title, after much deliberation, it must be more than one country, but the current situation is still a unified situation. Except for the New Han Dynasty that dominates the Central Plains, its tribes are all weak. In the eyes, it is not even a complete country.

Amid everyone's confusion, Mr. Xu and King Lu moved their eyes downwards and saw the first sentence of the article.

"In the past, there were six countries living in the east. If they did not fight against Qin, they would be destroyed..."

After reading this sentence, the two of them immediately understood.

"This is not talking about the current situation, but talking about the pre-Qin period, when the seven heroes stood side by side!"

Not only did the two elders understand, but the people around them also reacted with different expressions, but most of them frowned, obviously not interested in the content of this article. satisfy.

You must know that most of the people in this courtyard at this time are top celebrities. These people are not only famous but also talented. Many of them are good at writing articles. It is not that no one has written articles about the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. This is an example, but when they wrote, as people from China, they were relatively more qualified, and they knew better why they wrote about the past.

"This Xianbei man actually dares to write about the affairs of the Six Eastern Kingdoms and the Qin State. He is really courageous. He still uses the 'Lun' style, but I don't know if he understands that writing about the past by using Lun is not a simple matter. Reminiscing about the past is about using past events to prove a certain point.”

Among the crowd, Meng Tangong, who had just come forward, smiled lightly and said such words. Because of his status, he was standing closer and saw the content, so he said this.

After he finished speaking, several celebrities behind him nodded in agreement, and each expressed their opinions——

One said: "This is based on past events, often summing up the gains and losses, talking about right and wrong, in order to prevent the same mistakes from happening again, and also to know the gains and losses from history. Because the seven countries are all in the land of China, they have reference significance. It is really strange that the Xianbei people live in a barbaric land and dare to talk about the affairs of the Six Kingdoms.

The other said: "This Xianbei man took this as a breakthrough, so he took it for granted. He was an outsider, and he talked about the past of his ancestors in front of me.

Someone else said: "Let's take a look and talk about it. Since they came up with such an article at this time and in this place, I believe it will not be without aim. Judging from the expression on Murong Xin's face, he also prepared it carefully for a long time. Among them There must be a reason, and I don’t need to rush to a conclusion.”

The last person to speak can be considered mature and prudent, and what he said sounded reasonable. However, due to the venue and angle, there were still only a few people who could read the article immediately. Wang has a special status and has guards standing guard nearby, occupying a part of the space. On the contrary, the space of other people is squeezed a lot. It is difficult to read the article. You can only listen to the people in the front row talking about it, and then discuss it.

So, when the people behind heard that a Xianbei man talked nonsense about the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, they all talked about it one after another. Some were doubtful, some were scornful, some were ridiculing, and some were incomprehensible. One thing is enough, but generally speaking, they are not optimistic about it and have preconceived opinions. Although they all know that the Xianbei people must have considerations and confidence in writing articles at this time, but based on the superiority of the people of the Central Plains, they still believe that This article must have inherent shortcomings.

These discussions will of course reach the ears of those Xianbei people, making these people's faces look ugly. Some of them even turned red, obviously trying to hold back.

They were traveling with Murong Xin, and most of them were good friends. Of course they knew about this article. Although Murong Xianbei did not disclose too much in advance to keep it confidential, these people who were close to him had read the original article, so they all admired it and knew that this article was true. It is a masterpiece. At this time, I heard that the famous people from Central Plains present made rash judgments and belittled the article because of their different ethnic groups. Of course, I felt dissatisfied.

After thinking about it, they looked at Murong Mian and Murong Xin one after another. The former looked solemn, but there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, while the latter sneered and looked at everyone present with contempt.

Noticing the situation of others, Murong Xin turned his head and whispered: "Wait a moment and look at them again."

Seeing this scene, other Xianbei people were inconvenient to speak out.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Mr. Xu let out a light sigh, and King Lu nodded slightly, and then ordered to go down and call a person, who seemed to be a clerk from the palace, and started reading the article directly, his voice was loud and clear. .

With this move, the situation became clearer, and the discussion among the crowd also decreased a lot. The reason is very simple. Putting aside other factors, the structure and use of vocabulary of this article are very consistent with the aesthetics of the Central Plains. The article He prefers parallel prose, has a delicate style, and contains vitality.

The sensual beauty of the language and the neat confrontation in the syntax can be said to be impeccable.

This kind of writing style, if the identity of the person who wrote it is put aside, is used at such a dinner party, it will definitely arouse the popularity of everyone. Considering Murong Xin's age, I am afraid it will be praised a lot.Even so, due to the differences between Xianbei and everyone's previous assertions, they could not immediately change their words. However, the voice and number of people discussing had quickly decreased, and as the person who read aloud continued, the meaning of the article was slowly conveyed. After coming out, there were fewer people talking, and there was even more sporadic appreciation and recognition.

Those Xianbei people were still flushed just now, feeling humiliated, but now they heard a few scattered compliments, their faces were still flushed, but their expressions had changed, showing excitement, and they looked at each other even more energetically. It is obviously a great honor for Feiyang to be recognized by celebrities in the Central Plains.

"Just now many celebrities looked down on this article, but now someone actually recognizes it, which makes this article even more precious!"

"We must be recognized by the Central Plains so that they will no longer look down on us!"

"This is a good sign, it means that we, Murong Xianbei, can do it too!"

It’s no wonder they were so excited. It was really a great thing to be able to change everyone’s opinions on the spot, especially since these people were top celebrities in the Central Plains. But ultimately, it was because of Murong Xin’s article. , which really impressed everyone.

The initial words and the subsequent writing style and structure are just appearances, but the connotation of the article is the key.

"This article is very interesting. The opening chapter names the six eastern kingdoms, which were defeated by Qin and were destroyed by Qin. However, the next two paragraphs review the respective periods of prosperity of these six kingdoms and the deeds of many outstanding people. There were many reminiscences that resonated with hundreds of schools of thought, and then suddenly the style of writing changed and they talked about the rise of the violent Qin Dynasty and engulfed them one by one."

Savoring the content of the article, Chen Zhi couldn't help but nod. At the same time, he remembered a very famous article in the original history——

"Treatise on the Six Kingdoms".

"The Theory of Six Kingdoms" was written by Su Xun during the Song Dynasty. The structure of the discussion is very similar to that of "The Theory of Zhuguo". It also writes about the changes between Qin and the Six Eastern Kingdoms, but in terms of conception, the two sides are completely different. different."

Chen Zhi was thinking that the person reading the article happened to have read the last paragraph of the article.

This last paragraph ends with the demise of the Qin Dynasty, and then describes the revival of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to a certain extent. It also has the meaning of various countries, which can be regarded as a topic.

But Chen Zhi knew that this was actually a technique of taking arguments out of context, because after that, the Han Dynasty was unified, and history opened a new chapter. There may be some nobles from the Six Kingdoms who survived, but on the historical stage, there are no their roles.

""The Theory of Six Kingdoms" uses the demise of the Six Kingdoms as an argument and tells what kind of behavior will eventually lead to destruction. It secretly compares the Song Dynasty to the Six Kingdoms that paid tribute and bribed Qin, implying the ending. And this Murong Xin "On the Kingdoms" actually attributed the demise of the Qin State to the dissatisfaction of the six eastern kingdoms after they were forcibly annexed, which eventually led to the collapse of the huge empire. This actually reflects the New Han Dynasty's attitude towards the surrounding tribes due to the rebellion of the Xiongnu. , adopting a high-pressure posture is a kind of tactful admonition. This kind of admonition is highly appreciated by literati and celebrities, so they will change their tone."

Just like in the imperial examinations in later generations, candidates' answers not only depended on the font, paper, and knowledge, but also on guessing the examiner's mind.

The famous scholars in the new Han Dynasty liked this method of using articles to persuade them euphemistically. It looked elegant, responsible, and easy to leave a name in history.

In line with the civil and military competitions mentioned by King Lu, this method can be regarded as exquisite.

In the end, even Mr. Xu and King Lu couldn't help but nod their heads and said: "This article is very good. It shows your skill and your heart. Although you are not from the Middle Earth, you have the spirit of our generation and you are worthy of praise."

Hearing this, Murong Xin could not help but show joy despite his arrogance, but he was very smart and quickly held back. Then he thought of his original plan, glanced at Chen Zhi, took two steps forward, and hurriedly walked towards Chen Zhi. Because of the lively atmosphere, he said: "Both of them are respected elders. The common people of the country have long heard of their great names and yearned for them. Now they are loved by the wrong people and praised for their poor works. They feel very scared in their hearts. But this article is actually written by the common people." Made with hard work, in order to be of benefit to the country..."

When he was filmed for being so flattering, everyone onlookers, not to mention King Lu and Mr. Xu, nodded secretly.

Murong Xin hasn’t finished speaking yet——

"But Xiaomin is from a foreign country after all. It is difficult for people to take this article seriously after writing it. I hope the two elders can give a new one so that this article can be highlighted in the world."

　I was sleepwalking and only slept for more than two hours.
