After Zhang Zongshi finished speaking, those who had not thought in this direction were shocked, while those who had vaguely noticed nodded their heads.
"Since Brother Zhang has said it out loud, there is no need for us to continue hiding it. The flattery of this poem is vivid on the paper. This Zhang Mingzhou is too much! "
"For his own selfish interests, he is willing to be Gyeongo's dog. How despicable."
"Who would have thought that after being slandered and imprisoned, he would be so unbearable today."
"Speaking of which, this poem is a bit strange. Zhang Longxiang has the Kong Family behind him, why would he join Emperor Qing? "
"Emperor Qing? How could he be interested in Emperor Qing? He is just using Emperor Qing as a springboard! On the surface, he is saying that Emperor Qing is wise, but in reality, he is talking about the person behind him. "
"But, the Kong Family is not inferior to the Zong Family … Cough cough, they are not inferior to that person's family."
"In these years, the Kong Family has no desires and rarely interfered. Currently, only the Half-saint can help him get rid of his identity as a literary person. Everyone knows that although the Kong Family Head has the power and status of a Half-saint, he does not have the true Holy Way. I am afraid that he cannot help him change his body. So, maybe he took the initiative to approach the Zong Family … No, maybe Emperor Qing took the initiative to approach him and agreed to help him rebuild his body, allowing him to come and go freely in Saint Origin without any restrictions. "
"Ah? So, Gyeongo has always supported Zhang Longxiang to be the head of the Four Great Scholars because they have long been in cahoots with each other? "
"Other than this, there is no other explanation."
At this time, one of the High Scholars said, "On the list, someone suggested another possibility."
Everyone in Wen You House looked at the High Scholar.
"That person said, 'Wanting to help without a boat to sail, it is a shame. Those who sit and watch the fisherman admire the fish. 'These four sentences were not an attack on Fang Yun and Jingguo by Zhang Longxiang, nor were they flattering Emperor Qing and the person behind him. The reason was simple. Zhang Longxiang had been suppressed by the King Of Chu in the past, and he had developed an aversion to the Chu State and even the literary world. The current Zhang Longxiang, be it in terms of strength or literary talent, can no longer be accommodated by the literary world. Therefore, he has decided to leave the literary world and settle down in Saint Origin World. "
The High Scholar looked at the contents of the list again and continued, "That person said, not to mention how Zhang Longxiang was able to stay in Saint Origin World for such a long time, Zhang Longxiang is definitely a genius with great ambitions. As a genius of the literary world, what did he want to do the most after leaving the literary world and entering the Saint Origin World? Naturally, it was to compete with the geniuses of the Saint Origin World. Ask yourself, if you were Zhang Longxiang, would you want to compete with Fang Xusheng after making a name for yourself in the literary world and making contributions to the Borderline Mountain? Furthermore, has Zhang Longxiang ever attacked Fang Xusheng? "
The guests in the restaurant were speechless. Although the Literary Name Competition between Zhang Longxiang and Fang Yun had lasted for many years, Zhang Longxiang had never attacked Fang Yun, and Fang Yun had never attacked Zhang Longxiang. The two of them had never been on bad terms. It was only because they were competing for the title of the Four Great Scholars that everyone mistakenly thought that they were like fire and water.
"That person's last sentence had nothing to do with Qing Jun. It should be explained that under the governance of the Saints, the human race is bright and prosperous. He felt ashamed of staying in the literary world doing nothing. He wanted to completely break through the restrictions of the two worlds, but he couldn't do anything. Seeing Fang Yun and other geniuses of the Saint Origin World displaying their talents, he couldn't break away from the literary world and could only feel envious. That person said that on the surface, the poem was for Qing Jun, but the main point was that he couldn't break away from the literary world and couldn't roam the Saint Origin World like other geniuses of the human race. If Zhang Longxiang didn't give it to Qing Jun, was he going to give it to Fang Yun? Was he going to give it to Zongsheng? "
Once this explanation was out, the restaurant coughed and many people's faces turned red.
"Perhaps we misunderstood Zhang Mingzhou."
"Indeed, looking at his poem, it's honest and simple, and full of righteousness. He doesn't seem like someone who would flatter Qing Jun."
"That's right. Someone who could be challenged by Fang Xusheng still has some backbone."
"Director Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang Zongshi frowned and didn't immediately speak.
Everyone present felt that Zhang Zongshi was in a difficult position. After all, Zhang Zongshi had a relationship with Fang Yun. It was normal for him to oppose Zhang Longxiang, but if it was too extreme, it would be disadvantageous for Fang Yun.
Zhang Zongshi gently shook his head and said, "I still insist on my previous opinion. Since this poem was said to be for Qing Jun, then it must be related to Qing Jun. Unfortunately, I don't have the authority to participate in the meeting at noon. I can only wait until the official start of the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Gathering in the evening to know the result. "
The manager of the restaurant laughed and walked out of the door. He looked at the sky and said, "Looking at the time, Fang Xusheng will arrive at Yueyang Tower soon. At that time, Fang Xusheng will probably use his status as the Governor of Xiangzhou to invite the guests who arrived early. When the full moon rises in the evening, the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Gathering will officially begin."
"Fang Xusheng is inviting guests from various countries to Yueyang Tower in advance. Will there be a good show to watch?"
"Even if there is a good show, we won't be able to see it since we are so far away. Why don't we wait for news in the restaurant? I believe that after the meeting, someone will post it on the list. As long as there is a High Scholar in the restaurant, we will know what happened. "
"Brother Zhang, are you going?"
Zhang Zongshi smiled and said, "I'll go when the Cultural Gathering starts. Even if I go now, I'll only be there to watch the people. I think there are still people coming out from the Eye of the Sea by the river."
"That's true …"
Time slowly passed. Fang Yun's carriage was still on its way to the Yueyang Tower. Scholars from all over the country had also started to gather at the Yueyang Tower. There were people constantly announcing the important people who had arrived at the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Gathering. The Patriarchs of the aristocratic clans, the Great Scholars of the various countries, the Patriarchs of the aristocratic clans, etc. As long as they arrived at the Yueyang Tower, it would cause a huge commotion.
When it was close to noon, a High Scholar suddenly shouted in Wenyou House, "The Emperor of Qing has announced that Zhang Longxiang will be conferred the title of Grand Tutor!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
"The relationship between the two is obvious!"
"In ancient times, Grand Tutor was one of the Three Ministers along with Grand Preceptor and Grand Protector. They were the three people with the greatest authority under the Emperor. Although it became a title after the Han Dynasty, it was still the highest title. Since the new calendar, only High Scholars would be conferred the title of Grand Tutor. Many retired officials would try their best to be conferred the title of Junior Tutor, Junior Preceptor or Junior Protector, even though these three titles are far inferior to the Three Ministers. "
"This is strange. The role of a Grand Tutor is to teach the Emperor. He is the teacher of the Emperor and has a revered position. When the Emperor sees him, he has to take the initiative to greet him! Normally, when a High Scholar is conferred the title of Grand Tutor, he is the Crown Prince's teacher. "
"If anyone says that the Emperor of Qing has no relationship with Zhang Longxiang, even if you beat me to death, I won't believe it!"
"Brother Zong Shi is indeed extraordinary. No wonder Fang Xusheng has set his eyes on him."
"Let's wait a little longer. Zhang Longxiang may not be willing to accept it."
Fifteen minutes later, the High Scholar announced another piece of news. The entire restaurant fell silent.
Zhang Longxiang accepted the title of Grand Tutor of Gyeongo and said that he would be receiving the Emperor's imperial edict at Yueyang Tower.
"Now, no one doubts the relationship between Zhang Longxiang and Gyeongo, right? Now, no one doubts the true intentions of 'Viewing Dongting Lake to the Emperor of Qing', right? "
There was a little easter egg in the previous chapter. No one knew if anyone had discovered it. It would be announced in the next two days. As for where it would be announced, he could not say. He had said it before. If he did, he would be punished by the website.
