Chapter 348 Predictions
Today's Sun Dan can be regarded as a famous scholar. Since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other, but Zhang Cong still didn't take him seriously at the beginning.

Zhang Cong also read the things Sun Dan wrote before, but he sneered at the poems, story books and stereotyped articles written by Sun Dan.Poetry is not a serious text. As for the story-based novel, a famous person like Zhang Cong will feel his eyes are dirty after a second glance.

As for Sun Dan's eight-part essay, although he did a good job, Zhang Cong thought that if he wrote it seriously, his standard would not be much inferior to him.

But recently, when he read the first volume of Sun Dan's new book "Rizhilu", he was amazed and astonished.

This is an encyclopedia that learns from ancient times and takes notes at any time. Although it is only the first volume, it includes classics, history, officials, officials, wealth, ceremonies, places, Art and literature, etc., if it is not a university scholar with real talents, it is really impossible to write such a work.

At the beginning, Zhang Cong and Sun Dan were in different camps.And Sun Dan is the chief strategist of Empress Chen's family, while Zhang Cong thinks he is the number one think tank under Concubine Zhang Guifei. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, so they are naturally strong enemies.Looking at Sun Dan is also quite unpleasant, but the hostility is hostility, but now Zhang Cong has to admit that, in terms of knowledge, Sun Dan has vaguely stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and is a respectable opponent.

In fact, the original author of "Rizhilu" was Gu Yanwu, a great scholar in the late Ming Dynasty. Gu's knowledge was top-notch in the late Ming Dynasty. It would be a strange thing if his works could not shock people.

Sun Dan said this sentence based on his foreknowledge of history.In real history, Zhang Cong did pass the test in this subject.However, his grades were not very good. He was No. 70 in the second class. He could neither be a Hanlin nor a concubine. He had no hope of becoming a cabinet minister in this life.

But when Zhang Cong heard this, Zhang Cong thought it was just a compliment.

However, he was also very happy.

Zhang Cong is a great celebrity, and he hears a lot of compliments in his daily life, so he naturally doesn't think there is anything wrong.However, such words have a different weight when they are said by Sun Dan, a celebrity who is not like himself after all.

Zhang Cong said to Sun Dan: "Jingyuan, based on the relationship between you and my younger brother, you and I are not outsiders. I am not afraid of your jokes when I say it. Zhang Cong is bound to win this Spring Festival. He can do it anyway. Entering into the top three of the first class, so it is not in vain that I have studied for so many years."

Zhang Cong's tone is quite proud, indeed, he also has the ability to be proud.He was a well-known child prodigy in Wenzhou since he was a child. When he became an adult, he became a university student who had achieved success in his studies. He opened an academy and was honored as Mr. Luo Feng.After all, Zhang Cong's works are quite abundant, of course, not to mention his most famous "Da Li Yi" collection of such imperial articles.Among them, the most valuable is "Jiajing Wenzhou Fuzhi", which is a must-read for future generations to study the local history of Wenzhou in the Jiajing year.

This spring curtain is of great significance to him. Although he is now the chief think tank of Concubine Zhang's family, he doesn't know that Huang Jin and others treat him well.Besides, Zhang Qiangwei has been recommending Ping Qiuli to Concubine Zhang recently.Zhang Cong has also heard about Ping Qiuli's resourcefulness and knowledge, and knows that this person will be his strong enemy.

Moreover, he was not reconciled to always being an assistant to Concubine Zhang Gui. Even if he was favored for a while, his achievements in the future would be very limited.If you are a man, you still have to take the imperial examination on the right path.

Moreover, Concubine Zhang Gui had vaguely revealed a piece of news that once Zhang Cong entered the Imperial Academy, he would definitely use it in the future.

In this way, Zhang Cong was naturally very excited and eager to try.

It's a pity that Sun Dan already knew the outcome of Zhang Cong's exam, so he wanted to smile lightly, so he didn't say any more.

But after thinking about it, this Zhang Cong is the No. 1 talent under Concubine Zhang Gui, and he has much more knowledge in his chest than the conspirator Ping Qiuli.With Sun Dan's foresight and foresight, he naturally knew that this guy passed the big ceremony after being frustrated in the examination room and successfully ascended to the position, becoming a troublesome figure in the early years of Jiajing.

If such a character is used by Concubine Zhang Gui, it will definitely become a great harm.

Therefore, for this Zhang Cong, either completely suppress it from the beginning, or use it for me.

In fact, it is very simple to suppress him.As far as Sun Dan knew, Zhang Cong had no hope of entering the Imperial Academy after he won the top three and seventy, so he could only go to the official department to do odd jobs.Given Sun Dan's relationship with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it is very easy to deal with him.At worst, let them give Zhang Cong a county magistrate, and pay him far away to places such as Yunnan and Guizhou, and it will not be his turn to discuss the ceremony in the future.

However, history has its own inertia.Even if there is no Zhang Cong in the matter of great ceremony, there will be Zhu Cong, Wang Cong and Li Cong. Blindly suppressing it is not the way.

Besides, Sun Dan also had a vague idea before that the emperor's authority is too great now, and he should check and balance it with the power of relatives. It is not possible to use the great ceremony, but he must grasp the heat and reserve it for the country. People who are brave, loyal and outspoken.

"Who can explain clearly about the exam? With Mr. Luo Feng's talent and learning, it should be no problem to enter the top three, but only God knows where he ranks." Seeing that Zhang Cong was full of confidence, Sun Dan laughed in his heart.It's ridiculous that Zhang Cong wanted to recruit himself for Concubine Zhang, but he didn't want what he could give him.It's just an ordinary juren, and he can't speak in Zhang Guifei's system.Well, I heard recently that he and Huang Jin had a very unpleasant quarrel, especially after the last plan to capture the two from the pharmacy failed, Huang Jin even yelled at Zhang Cong.

What kind of character is Zhang Cong, how can he stand such anger.

From this point of view, Zhang Cong is not impossible to win over.

In the future, there will be a big ceremony together, not to mention Yang Shen, who is Sun Dan's friend.And if Zhang Cong is also brought over, there will be Sun Dan's own people on both sides.At that time, it will be handy to control this political storm.At worst, you can bet on both sides to keep yourself safe.

And with Zhang Duan's relationship, it's not that you can't show favor to Zhang Cong, as long as you give him certain benefits.

As far as the future ceremony is concerned, Sun Dan does not have his own political views, and whoever wins or loses has nothing to do with him.All he could think of was to see how he could profit from it.

Sun Dan wanted to understand this truth, and then said: "Mr. Luo Feng, have you thought about it? If you can't even get into the second class, you won't have the chance to enter the Imperial Academy in the future, and you won't be qualified to be a good scholar. This exam is not good for you." what sense?"

Anger flashed across Zhang Cong's face, and he sneered: "Is Jingyuan looking down on me, Zhang Cong?"

Sun Dan smiled slightly, "Let's look at it when the list is released. Brother Zhang Duan is Sun Dan's mentor. Speaking of which, you and I are not outsiders. If you can use my Sun Dan in the future, just let me know."

Zhang Cong finally laughed out loud: "Okay, that's the deal. If Zhang Cong wins Jinshi or is awarded Jinshi, but Jingyuan does not enter the top two, there is something for me, Zhang Cong, just let me know." The three long beards on his chin moved automatically without wind, obviously extremely angry.

Zhang Cong's words were obviously provocative, but Sun Dan was not angry, but nodded: "If Sun Dan falls down by then, please ask Mr. Zhang to support him."
