Chapter 3 Whose Cheese Moved?
Even Kong Huiyuan, who compiled books in the palace and taught to royal relatives, received articles written by Pei Min, and others were no exception.
"asshole!"
Li Hong pinched the article in his hand into a ball and threw it on the ground. He was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at the paper ball on the ground and cursed, "This is a humiliating man, this is a big or small, this is a betrayal of ancestors and forgetting the clan..."
He was old, with red eyes and a cannibalistic gaze, constantly yelling at a ball of paper. The children and grandchildren in front of him looked at the old man with a little respect, but there was a little contempt in his heart.
Li Hong is a descendant of Li Mi. Of course, Li Mi was not the Li Mi who fought with Emperor Gaozu in the early Tang Dynasty and died at the hands of Master Sheng Yan. Instead, the prefect of Hanzhong in the Western Jin Dynasty, Li Mi and Li Lingbo.
Li Mi worked with the famous scholar Qiao Zhou, read the Five Classics well, and was particularly good at "The Zuo Zhuan of the Spring and Autumn Period". He is known for his literature. He has an article called "The Untamed Bible". He is particularly famous.
So there is a saying that those who do not cry when reading Zhuge's "The Memorial of the Emperor" are called disloyal; those who do not cry when reading Li Mi's "The Memorial of the Emperor" are called disloyal.
Li Hong is the descendant of Li Mi.
The son of this tiger may be a sick cat, let alone a descendant who has been around for hundreds of years?
Because there were no outstanding figures in several generations, the Li family has already declined.
Until Li Hong's generation, the Li family had a comeback.
The key figure in all this is Li Hong. As the five highest-ranking senior elders in the Chang'an Shixiang, Li Hong has obtained a lot of benefits for his descendants with his fame and reputation.
But in fact, Li Hong himself is only of medium-sized talent and his literary talent is not outstanding. He has such a status because he follows the right person, and to put it bluntly, he is holding the right thigh.
And his thigh is Lu Jingchun.
Speaking of Daolu Jingchun, he was indeed an extraordinary person and a famous filial son. He mourned his mother, cried for three years but did not leave the cottage, which led to his description of the destruction. Even his wife could not recognize him. He was also extremely talented. He was the top scholar of the Wu Zetian Dynasty and was appointed as the crown prince Si Yilang and studied the history of the country. He was a scholar in Chongxian Pavilion. He was highly valued by Wu Zetian. He wrote more than 100 articles including "Secrets" and "Clothing and Clothing Records", and studied the roots and branches of the surnames. At that time, no one was right.
Lu Jingchun, Li Hongjiao is not separated from Meng, Meng is not separated from Jiao, and the world will become Lu Li.
Li Hong was promoted by Lu Jingchun and also participated in the compilation of books such as "Secrets" and "Clothing and Clothing Records", and was named a bachelor of Chongxian Pavilion, and also participated in the grand and glorious work of revising national history.
In ancient times, those who were able to compile national history were first-class great scholars. Li Hong was also treated like this with the support of Lu Jingchun.
In this way, Li Hong's identity was also established. As he grew older, his status became more and more noble. Now he is one of the most famous old men in Chang'an.
Li Hong knew very well that in terms of real talent and knowledge, he was not even half as good as Lu Jingchun.
Fortunately, people nowadays only respect him without doubt. Their obedience to his predecessors allowed him to continue to maintain his lofty status and seek countless benefits for his family.
Pei Min's article is undoubtedly a thrust into his heart.
If it is true as Pei Min said in his article, and there is no big or small in front of knowledge, then how could he maintain his lofty status?
If everyone argued, he would still have some authority as a Su Lao?
The interests mixed with selfishness made Li Hong feel fear.
This is also the power of writing and writing.
Sometimes, an excellent article can give people great power.
Pei Min's article is to encourage scholars all over the world to seek knowledge and truth, to explore the truth from debates, rather than following the crowd.
It’s not shameful to ask questions, it’s not shameful to pretend to understand. It’s really shameful to pretend to understand...
"This article cannot be spread!"
Li Hong had only this idea in his mind. He tried hard to calm himself down and looked at his unscrupulous descendants and said, "How is the reaction outside now?"
"It's especially intense! Everyone applauded this article and praised it!" The answer was Li Hong's grandson Li Yan. When he said this, he spoke a little light and even showed a hint of excitement.
"How could this be?"
Li Hong did not pay attention to his grandson's tone, but looked shocked!
In his opinion, Pei Min's article was written in a wonderful way, but it seriously violated the interests of many people.
It was not only him who was injured, but also many Shilin leaders.
The reason why the Shilin leaders are called leaders is because they have a high status, and their words are truth and truth.
Even if it is wrong, it is right and blindly convincing.
This is also the authority!
If people do not trust authority and doubt authority, their voice will be greatly weakened, which will affect their status.
How could they sit and watch this situation happen?
Li Yan answered his question again and said, "Because this article was written by Pei Shuai!"
Pei Shuai?
Pei Min!
When Li Hong thought of these two words, his eyes fainted and almost fainted.
He hadn't finished reading this article yet, but he felt fear when he saw it halfway, so he didn't see the final signature.
I was stunned when I heard about it now...
"Pei Min? Is that Pei Min?"
Li Yan replied again: "Who else can write such an article except Pei Shuai?"
"It's over, it's over!"
Li Hong thought in dismay and finally understood why no one had made a comeback.
If ordinary people wrote such articles that violated the authority and interests of the leaders of the world's scholars, they would have been completely refuted.
There is no reason to be a crime to add to it, and there is no distorted fact that the literati's pen is unresolved.
But what Pei Min wrote was different. He was the highest-ranking Bian Zheng in the Tang Dynasty. He was one of the most trusted figures of Li Longji. He had a deep official background.
Not only that, Pei Min also had great prestige in the scholarly circles. He came to Chang'an alone to fight. In just ten years, he became the most powerful foreign minister of the Tang Dynasty and the border commander with a 140,000 army.
He left countless legends in Chang'an, and even praised Confucius' descendants as "making contributions to the country, filial piety to the mother, righteousness to friends, and wisdom, courage and benevolence to oneself"...
Countless Shilin rookies and countless young men took him as an example and his success as a driving force.
Even Junyan, his beloved grandson and the most hopeful Joon-yan, who revives the Li family, regards him as the object of worship...
Compared to their older generation, almost all young people envy Pei Min's achievements. He has an incomparable influence among the younger generation!
As soon as his article was published, he would gather the ideas and consciousness of the young people who yearned for him and admired him, forming a torrent that would destroy their authority!
"You all retreat!"
Li Hong drove everyone away and sat alone, thinking that his position would soon be lost.
Chapter completed!
