"Report it if you don't like it? When will the temper of these scholars change? They still have this virtue after so many years."

"What Uncle Wang means..." Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Isn't it strange?"

"What's so surprising? This is their usual style." His Highness Prince Ning smiled bitterly, "Basically it's the same as court disputes, but court disputes are about distinguishing right from wrong, being sensible, and only dealing with things, not people. , they are different, they mainly treat people and not things."

"That's right." Bai Meng lay on the table, "The kind who just wants to see whoever he doesn't like disappear before his eyes."

"What's the reason for this incident? Do those shops have anything in common? Are you sure it wasn't the work of your colleagues?"

"This minister does know." Bai Meng rubbed his eyes, "It is indeed not the work of his colleagues. They made a notice before, saying that they would jointly publish a collection of poems by the talented scholars of the Hanlin Academy. The incident of being accused and splashed with swill was in After this notice.”

"It's always been this way between men of letters. There's nothing surprising about it." His Highness Prince Ning was a little thirsty and wanted to sit up and pour himself a glass of water. Jin Miaomiao, who was standing next to him, poured him a glass and handed it to him. In the past, he thanked him, took a sip, and said, "Actually, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. I have experienced it myself several times. Every time, I feel that those who claim to be scholars have read the books It’s in the dog’s belly.”

"Your Highness, tell me." Bai Meng looked at His Highness Prince Ning with great interest, "Why does this kind of thing always happen?"

"As the old saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. But among these scholars, especially the young students, who doesn't have the desire to be a great writer? Those who will leave their names through the ages and be immortalized in history, right? ?So it’s not surprising that they are fighting over each other.”

"Uncle Wang, didn't you say they cherish each other?"

"Those are rare situations. Look at the civil servants in the court, especially those in the Hanlin Academy. Why do they always quarrel? They just want to compete. I am more knowledgeable than you, but you are not as good as me."

"But... what's the point of these??" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "What benefits are these to Daxia?"

"This..." His Highness Prince Ning held the tea cup and shrugged helplessly, "I have no idea that they are very obsessed with this kind of thing, especially the false reputation of a literary giant. They are particularly keen on it. Even if it is a first-class official residence , if others praise him as a literary genius, he may be happier than being promoted. However, there is a difference between a literary giant and a literary giant. Some people live up to their reputations, and some people live up to their reputations."

"What the prince is saying is that I just remembered a case. Two years ago, probably, a fairly well-known scholar was selling fakes of famous paintings in a shop under his own name, falsely claiming to be authentic. That case was in There is quite a commotion in the capital, and because of this case, the group of young students who went to Beijing to take the exams have stopped for a while, and they did not have as many poetry gatherings, tea parties, and endless quarrels as before."

"But there are not many such pure days. After a long time, they will forget these things, and then they will get old and continue to look down on their opponents." His Highness Prince Ning sneered, "These talented people and literati are In addition to looking at themselves, they also focus on their opponents. It is possible that their understanding of their opponents is much deeper than their understanding of themselves." He looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Just like you know Jin, The understanding of Liao is the same as the understanding of Liao and Jin. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in a hundred battles."

"Uncle Wang, this is different. We understand Liao and Jin for the peace of Daxia and the people's livelihood. They understand their opponents so that they can better shine." Shen Cha said with a look of disgust, "Now Because they didn't like the Hanlin Academy's poetry collection, they poured swill on other people's shops and reported on them, forcing them to close down. They..." she sighed, "didn't they have a good brain?"

"That's why I said that all their books have been read into the stomachs of dogs. Han Chuang has been studying hard for more than ten years, for decades, just to show the world how knowledgeable he is, but what he can use this knowledge for is unclear. I don’t know what to ask.” His Royal Highness Prince Ning sneered, “Back then, there were a few like this in my palace. They didn’t dare to quarrel in front of me and they all quarreled in private. However, there was a government meeting and these people quarreled. Their eyes were blinded, and they started throwing memorials at each other in front of me. Just throw them, and they even tore the memorials thrown by each other into pieces. That day, I was also very angry, so I threw this memorial at that time. A few brainless people were tied up and whipped dozens of times in the courtyard."

"Well done, Your Majesty, you did the right thing! The children looked at each other and said, "These people have gone too far. Is the memorial a tool they use to fight?"

"Isn't that right? Because of this incident, I was punished by my brother to kneel down for a whole night!"

"What about them? It should be them who are at fault. Why should the prince be punished?"

"I am not strict with the people in my palace. If something like this happens, it is natural to be punished. However, those troublemakers will not end well. The emperor said at the time, since you are so confident in yourself, then Just go to the mountains, the children in the mountains need you." His Highness Prince Ning shrugged, "They were sent to the depths of the southwest mountains."

"Southwest?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Those tribesmen are so used to it, will they listen to them?"

"Of course not. I have also inquired about their situation. They struggled to death on the road, and within two months they were gone."

"Hey, the fight of spirits will cost you your own life, so why bother!"

"That's right, I really don't understand these people." Bai Meng stretched, "I..."

Before Bai Meng finished speaking, the door of the warm hall was pushed open again, and Ying Wu hurriedly walked in from the outside. He didn't even have time to salute His Highness Prince Ning, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and walked straight to Bai Meng's room. in front of.

"Commander, the people from Jingzhao Mansion just asked you to come over with the name of the governor."

"Huh?" Bai Meng sat up and looked up at Ying Wu, "What happened?"

"The storekeepers of those shops started fighting with the people who reported them, and the fight reached the gate of Jingzhao Mansion. Mr. Fu Yin almost couldn't stand it anymore."

"...Okay, I'll go take a look!" Bai Meng stood up, "These people are really good at looking for trouble!"
