Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 335 This plan is great!

"I'm coming!"

Hundreds of tea shops are bustling with activity.

Accompanied by a servant in Tsing Yi who was carrying news, he kept going back and forth between the tea shop and the Tai Le Department, and the three-story pavilion became more and more lively. There were originally many people inside, but now it is overcrowded. There is no need to go in, just If you glance outside, you can see people coming and going inside the door, many of whom don't even have a place to sit.

You know, people who can enter hundreds of teahouses and listen to books are at least students of one academy. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are people of status. When such people gather together, there is not even a place to sit. No, at any other time, someone would have immediately become dissatisfied, but now no one in the tea shop complained.

This is because many of these people who had nowhere to sit actually came quickly after receiving the news, just to hear the news about the Taile Department.

Therefore, whenever a man who looks like a servant arrives with news, he will be surrounded by people asking questions. It is difficult to squeeze out of the crowd and hand the news to the storyteller.

These storytellers are all professionals, and many of them have their skills passed down from their families. No matter how simple things are, they will exude a different kind of demeanor and attract people's attention after they are arranged.

Even this ordinary thing, such as the changes in Taile Department, became more vivid when they talked about it. Therefore, as soon as the new news came, the room that was still noisy suddenly became quiet, although it cannot be said to be completely silent. , but basically don’t listen to anyone’s words.

Then, the voices of several storytellers sounded one after another.

"What we are talking about this time is Mr. Lu Qianlu from Nanshan Academy, or Tao Ya from Jiangdong. He said that Mr. Lu came from a scholarly family, and his ancestors can be traced back to Lu Zhigong, the teacher of Emperor Zhaolie. Now he is a student. I also worked hard. I left home since I was a child and moved around many places..."

Then, there was an introduction to Lu Qian. Halfway through, he had already turned to talk about the situation when he was writing the article.

Both academies attached great importance to this review, and basically showed their ability to see. The articles presented at the review meeting were all carefully reviewed. Not only were the words and sentences in the articles themselves gorgeous, but the articles were also beautiful. The intention and purpose of the book are to be realistic and meaningful.

The article written by Lu Qian is in line with the current politics, talking about the people's livelihood in northern Xinjiang, and talking about the impact of the Huns' rebellion and the attack of the government army on the people in the land of Bingzhou in Hedong.

Different from Sun Te, Lu Qian combined the experience of the previous people and carefully organized the language. In order to avoid loopholes, he said simply that it took a month to write the article, and he revised it repeatedly in the past few days. This is the final draft.

According to what he said, in order to write this article, he collected a lot of information, asked businessmen who came and went, and almost went to Northern Xinjiang to investigate in person.

These words, eloquently spoken by the storyteller, gave Lu Qian an air of down-to-earth and concern for the country.

After the storyteller finished telling this piece of news, he became quiet again and waited for the next message to arrive. Others in the room broke the silence and started talking enthusiastically.

"This Lu Qian is usually gentle and gentle, but he still has such a concern for the country and the people. His article is well written. Not to mention whether the officers and soldiers will win or lose when they go north, it is the common people who will suffer. "

"Yeah, but I really didn't pay much attention to it in the past. It turns out that Lu Qian also has a family background, but his family fortune has fallen into decline."

"This is definitely the backbone of my big man."

……

As time went by, the discussion about Lu Qian gradually began to change Sun Te's mind. You must know that before this, many people had been introduced to the Taiyue Department, and they were based on one person who was a conservative scholar and one person. Let’s introduce them in the order of Nanshan scholars.

Among the people introduced earlier, except for Sun Te, none of the two academies had any outstanding figures. So as time went by, it was Sun Te and his article that were discussed more and more. Moreover, the number of discussions about people far exceeds the discussion of articles.

Now, with Lu Qian's appearance on the stage, the situation has finally changed.

However, some people in this tea shop smelled something wrong.

"What's going on? How come the Taiyue Department's criticism is now in progress, but these people are talking more about Sun Te and Lu Qian themselves. Have they forgotten that the highlight of today is clearly from Chen Zhi's mouth, The so-called two academies, which one is higher and which one is lower!"

"It is indeed a bit strange. I thought that in these hundreds of tea shops, I could hear more analysis and get information in a more timely manner. After all, the owner here has an extraordinary background. He has informants all over Luoyang and the sources of information are reliable. It also represents the direction of the wind in the city, but now it seems that this momentum is not right."

"Stop talking about it now. Let's report the situation here to the master. Otherwise, if there is a deviation in the future, we will be responsible. Do you understand?"

The people who were talking were standing in the corner, about three or four people. After an argument, one of them left and ran straight to the Xu Mansion. "How's it going? What's the discussion at the Hundred Tea Shops? Is there already a dispute over which academy?"

When he saw the visitor, Xu Ji's steward Xu Pi came up to him first and asked lightly, but his eyes were full of concern.

"This... we don't know what's going on over there, but they didn't discuss the level of the academy." The person who reported the news hesitated for a moment before answering.

"No one is discussing it?" Xu Pi was surprised, "Are they all talking about articles written by students from the two academies?"

"That group of people didn't even talk much about the article." The reporter still hesitated, but after thinking about it, he added: "They seemed to be talking more about Sun Te, Lu Qian and others, saying which of the two was more powerful. Better than that."

"Talk about Sun Te and Lu Qian?" Xu Pi frowned, "Don't these two people represent Shouzhuo Academy and Nanshan Academy? So, they are still talking about the quality of the academy."

"This... I can't explain clearly." The person who reported the news shook his head. He could feel that the words of those who were talking had nothing to do with any academy, but were purely about individuals!
However, it is impossible to understand the three flavors without being present in person, so Xu Pi asked the messenger to step aside, turned around and walked towards the courtyard. In the main hall, Xu Ji and Wang Bu were waiting there.

Needless to say, Wang Bu is Zhang Ying's staff. He usually travels in many directions and does not have a fixed position. After Xu Ji was dismissed by Chen Zhi, he has become a serious homeless person. Both of them can wait in the office during the day. At home, we are waiting for news from the Taile Department.

As soon as he walked in, Xu Pi noticed that the atmosphere was a bit dignified, and the two of them seemed to be frowning, as if they had encountered something difficult.

Puzzled in his heart, Xu Pi still reported the news he got: "Master, Baijia Tea House is talking about two academies, which one is higher and which one is lower."

"Are you sure?" Xu Ji was stunned for a moment and seemed to be relieved, "That's good. It seems that this situation is normal. Only the changes in Taile Department are a little wrong."

Xu Pi was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with Taile Department?"

Xu Ji waved his hand and said: "You don't need to ask more about this. Go down first and continue to collect information from all sources. If anything happens, you need to report it in time!"

"No!" Although he was full of doubts in his heart, Xu Pi still suppressed the curiosity in his heart, bowed his head respectfully, and then retreated.

As soon as Xu Pi left, Xu Ji breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Wang Bu: "Chen Zhi has some tricks, and the criticism will be somewhat solemn after being manipulated by them, but in the end it is limited to his wife." It’s impossible for Le Shu to make big waves in a small place. As long as the public opinion outside is strengthened a little bit more, I don’t believe that some of his methods can really work!”

It turned out that the Xu family not only had people in the hundreds of tea shops, but also had people in Taile Department spreading news at any time, not to mention that Xu Ji's brother Xu Gu was also among them, so he had no idea about the atmosphere in Taile Department. I felt the changes particularly strongly. I felt something was wrong, so I sent someone to report it.

After Xu Ji and Wang Bu got the news, they thought about it repeatedly and saw the threat.

However, although the methods used by Chen Zhi were commonplace in later generations, this routine has never appeared in today's world. The sociological application involved is quite simple. In fact, it is the consumption of mass psychology, but it is precisely for this For people of the era, it has never been seen. Even if a scholar can see the clues, he cannot speculate on the subsequent changes.

Wang Bu was very resourceful and resourceful, so he could become Zhang Ying's mastermind. However, facing this unprecedented situation, even he was a little confused, but he instinctively felt that the matter was not simple.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but said: "Xu Jun, looking at Chen Zhi's actions, he often behaves in a scattered way, but in the end he is often unexpected, so we must not ignore it. Although we don't know what medicine he sells in his gourd, we will wait until By the time you can see his purpose, it may be too late, so even if you don’t know what his intentions are yet, you must kill all threats in advance!”

Xu Ji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Oh? What does Mr. Wang mean?"

Wang Bu said without hesitation: "Send people to the streets and alleys now to publicize the Taile Department. Everyone in Luoyang will know that Chen Zhi is judging the two academies, making it difficult for him to get off! "

Xu Ji touched his beard, and then laughed: "This is a great plan! Once everyone knows it, even if the people from Shouzhuo Academy and Nanshan Academy don't pursue the case, other academies will force them to question them. In the end, these two academies will There must be one high and one low, so the family with the low one will not be able to get off the stage, and the root of this disaster will be buried!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to get up and said as he walked: "In that case, I will send all my people out to spread the word about Taile Department!"

While the two were talking, the atmosphere in the Tai Le Department became serious, because the articles of the students from both sides of the academies had been sent over, and all of them had been commented on one by one, and then it was time to give their comments.

Since Sun Te and Lu Qian, they have been calm and waiting for the results.
