Chapter 249: Rumors stop at the wise, not start from the wise!
"Cai----" the scholars around said in unison.
Liu An retorted:
"What Xiongtai said is one-sided."
"Qin Luoheng said he doesn't care about his origin, family background, or status. Does that mean he really doesn't care? Has such a thing ever happened since ancient times?"
"Qin Luoheng is Doctor Da Qin."
"Da Qin currently has seventy-one doctors."
"There are only a handful of Dr. Qin present now. Don't the other doctors not want to be promoted to the top 100 celebrities in the world? But how many of these Dr. Qin have come? You are still young and may be a little ignorant of the world. There has never been fairness in the world.
.”
"What Qin Ting said is true, but in fact he is just fooling us."
"These Dr. Qin Ting will not participate in the selection at all. They have been determined to be included in the list from the beginning. Now we are waiting for thousands or even thousands of scholars to compete for the remaining twenty or thirty positions."
"What you call true talent and learning."
"What does it mean in the eyes of officials?"
"Stop fooling yourself!"
Liu An looked cold.
He stood in the crowd and exposed Qin Ting's "hypocrisy" in public.
The scholars all around were silent.
Why don't they know this?
But after all, those words were announced in front of everyone's attention, so they would naturally choose to believe them. However, after Liu An's reminder, they looked around and found out to their surprise that there were very few Dr. Gao Guan who came to Jique.
For a while.
A shadow cast over their hearts.
Shusun Tong stood among the noble gates, looking at the movement on the other side of the 'poor gate', a flash of pleasure flashed in his eyes.
Qin Luoheng wanted to clear up the relationship so much.
But is he clear about it?
Can't tell!
The scholars around him all believed Liu An's words and believed that Qin Luoheng had opened a back door for the doctor. This seed of distrust had been planted in the hearts of many scholars. It only took a few more provocations to make this grand event evolve.
becomes a farce.
A complete farce!
At this time.
Zheng He opened his mouth and said:
"This brother is making alarmist remarks."
"I have met Dr. Qin several times, and I think I have a certain understanding of him. Dr. Qin is not willing to do such a despicable thing. In addition, you do not understand the selection situation this time."
"Officials made it clear yesterday."
"The selection criteria this time are based on merit."
"Since the selection is based on merit, it is natural that birth, status, reputation, family status, etc. will not be considered. The number of people selected this time is tentatively set at one hundred. The officials yesterday made it clear that the number may not be exactly one hundred. It may be
More, maybe less.”
"Thousands of people compete for seats for twenty or thirty people."
"How ridiculous!"
Liu An bowed and said: "Maybe I did not understand clearly, but what you said is not enough to prove that Dr. Qin and other doctors did not make secret peace. The number of doctors and bachelors who arrived today is proof."
Zheng Rudao:
"I have no intention of proving it."
"I just want to make it clear that before there is any conclusive evidence, do not jump to conclusions, let alone make random slanders. This is not only slandering Dr. Qin, but also slandering the reputation of all the doctors and bachelors in the Doctoral Academy."
"The wise does not buy rumours."
"And it should not come from the wise."
"You can have objections to this time's selection, but the list has not yet been announced. Your sudden doubt seems a bit inexplicable. The time has not yet come, and everyone present has not even participated in the test. Your words are undoubtedly spreading rumors.
thing."
Liu An's face changed slightly.
He seemed to be stopped by what he was saying and was speechless for a moment.
Zheng Ru continued: "If you think that the Ph.D.'s in the Doctor's Academy are being favored, there are several Ph.D.'s and bachelor's in the room now. You can ask them a few questions first. In public, the questions you question will be very clear."
It’s easy to get a definite answer.”
Finished.
Zheng Ru looked at Shu Sun Tong.
He bowed slowly to Shu Sun Tong.
He said in a deep voice:
"I dare to ask Dr. Shu Suntong, has Dr. Qin promised to give preferential treatment to all the doctors and bachelors in the doctor's academy? Or has he promised that you can sit directly at the table, or secretly done so during the review or when the list was announced?
Some hands and feet?”
Shu Suntong's face twitched slightly.
When he heard Zheng Ru speak earlier, he secretly thought that something was wrong. He never thought that Zheng Ru would turn the topic to himself in the end. If Qin Luoheng really gave preferential treatment to the people in the Doctoral Academy, how could he appear here?
Liu An's doubt made him clear in his heart.
It's simply impossible.
Qin Luoheng has never met them, how could he give them preferential treatment?
Although he knew what was going on, it was impossible for him to answer like this.
Shusuntong hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. Although I am called a doctor, I am actually just a doctor waiting for Zhao. What I only know is that Dr. Qin did not give preferential treatment to Dr. waiting for Zhao. As for whether formal doctors receive preferential treatment.
, but I didn’t know.”
"There are several doctors in the academy who are friends with Dr. Qin. I am not sure whether Dr. Qin will give them preferential treatment. It is related to whether the selection of the grand event is fair or not. I dare not make a hasty decision."
Shu Suntong's face was dark.
It seems that he really doesn't want to get involved.
Hear the words.
Liu An's face softened slightly.
Zheng Ru couldn't help but frown.
Shu Suntong seemed to have explained something, but in fact he just distanced himself and did not give a real positive answer. His words will only make people more suspicious.
Zheng Ru glanced at Shu Sun Tong, his eyes thoughtful.
He remembered something Aweng said. Many people in the court were good at calculating, and many of them seemed to be incompatible with each other. At the moment, Shusun Tong seemed to be at odds with Qin Luoheng.
Zheng Ru said nothing.
He and Qin Luoheng only have a mutual acquaintance, and they haven't reached the point of helping each other. Since he has realized that the doctorate palace is not a harmonious society, he will naturally not choose to interfere.
Shusun Tong's words seemed to be an explanation, but were actually excuses. Naturally, they also fell into the ears of other scholars in the field. Many people in the field had strange eyes. They glanced at Shusun Tong incomprehensibly, and the corners of their mouths slowly
A smile emerged.
The Qin court is not monolithic!
They disagree with each other!
Zheng Ru didn't say anything, and Liu An didn't say anything either. The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, but the silence didn't last long.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Soon.
There was a burst of laughter from behind.
Everyone couldn't help but look back curiously, and saw a tall, fat and white man with fluttering clothes (mei) walking over with a smile on his face. This man was as fat and white as a gourd (hu), with a big white face. Dazzling to the eyes, there is no trace of vigor in the whole body.
Everyone looked sideways for a moment.
Just when all the scholars were stunned, someone revealed the origin of this man.
Zhang Cang!
Now it is the history of the next post under the rule of Zhongcheng, the censor.
Someone ridiculed: "The 'strong man' is so graceful and rich, but he doesn't know what his big belly is full of?"
Zhang Cang was not upset, he patted his round belly and said with a smile: "There is nothing else in my lower belly, it's just the world's economic affairs."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Just as everyone was laughing, two people came from behind, one wearing a mountain crown and the other wearing a martial arts crown.
There were knowledgeable people around, and they quickly revealed their origins.
The one with the high mountain crown is the official of the Prime Minister's Office, Shen Zheng.
The other person is Tongcheng Tao She of the Shaofu.
Both of them have been ranked as court ministers.
Seeing the arrival of a high-ranking court official, all the scholars couldn't help but feel nervous. They were originally wild and unruly, but now they subconsciously restrained themselves a lot.
Zhang Cang, Shen Zhuo, and Tao She came together.
Tao She was transferred to the post of Tongcheng of the Shaofu two months ago. He had been in the army in the past, so his figure was slightly dark and lean. Standing next to Zhang Cang, he looked extremely contrasting.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries.
Their expressions showed a bit of restraint and caution.
The current official positions of the three are almost at the same level, and they do not dare to be too rude to each other. Zhang Cang has actually been semi-publicly appointed to the position of censor, but because of this gathering of scholars, his appointment edict was deliberately delayed. for some time.
Although Shen Cheng was just an official in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But the status is not low at all.
In the past, he had won the trust of Prime Minister Wang. After Prime Minister Wang retired and before Li Si took over the Prime Minister's Office, some political affairs of the Prime Minister's Office were always handled by Shen Cheng. It is not an exaggeration to say that Shen Cheng has the talents of a Prime Minister.
Tao She's identity seems to be unknown.
But he is actually a descendant of Uncle Tao of Zhou Dynasty, and he rose up in the army step by step. Although he is no longer involved in military affairs, he is closely related to the middle-aged and younger generation of generals in the army, such as Zhang Han, Xin Sheng, Su Jiao and other generals. Relationships are irreversible.
more importantly.
He is from the Guanzhong clan.
In recent times, the Guanzhong clan has been called upon frequently and seems to be on the verge of a comeback. As courtiers, they are naturally aware of this and do not dare to underestimate it.
The arrival of three courtiers.
Undoubtedly, the scholars around him were very excited.
Although they claim to have the ability to govern the world, after all, they are just talking about it. The three people in front of them are real courtiers. And depending on the situation, these three people are also here to participate in the grand event. If they can defeat these three people, wouldn't it be Proved that he indeed has the talent of a king?
Everyone in the world has a desire to compare.
The same goes for scholars.
For a time, all the scholars were gearing up and looking forward to the early arrival of Mao Shi.
With the arrival of the three courtiers, Liu An's previous doubts were undoubtedly self-defeating. After all, even the courtiers had to come and write the articles in person. Not to mention those doctors who had no real power, how could Qin Luoheng?
Will you help them commit fraud?
While everyone was discussing heatedly, Fusu's eyes remained on the three courtiers, and his expression soon darkened.
He whispered:
"You are really generous."
"The officials reviewing it are Old Prime Minister Wang, Old Prime Minister Wei, Lieutenant Li Sting, and Dr. Dunruo Censor. If Marquis Tongwu hadn't been unconscious now, I'm afraid you would have invited all the three princes out of the court."
"Those who come to help me should not hesitate to give in."
"People are coming from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tingwei Mansion, Young Master's Mansion, and Yushi Mansion. In just half a year, have you grown to this point?"
"I still underestimate you!"
"It's just that you have a gathering of scholars, and I also have a new land administration. I would like to see who is better among us."
Fusu raised his head, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
At this time.
The time has finally arrived.
Under the protection of his attendants, Gu arrived at the center of Ji Que.
He looked around, and then bowed respectfully to the surrounding scholars.
Then he said:
"The time has come."
"The selection of the Top 100 Celebrities starts immediately."
