I write novels to become a saint

Chapter 6 The Pioneering Work of a New Genre of Fiction

"I'll help you pay the money!"

Zhang Zehan on the side tugged at Lin Qian, and whispered something in his ear, motioning him to agree quickly.

Lin Qian shook his head. If he didn't spend any money, he wouldn't mind going out with his classmates.

Chen Ruikang was a little surprised. Since he was a child, no one could refuse him, especially Lin Qian who had already agreed, but then suddenly changed his words, which made him feel a little unhappy.

"Okay, then I wish Lin Lin can write a masterpiece in the "Collected Works"."

Although displeased, Chen Ruikang didn't lose his composure, but just turned around and left after saying something weird.

"Pfft haha..."

"It's not that Lin Qian's strength is unknown to everyone. It's hard to say whether he can write a smooth article..."

A group of people around Chen Ruikang burst into laughter.

It's not their fault, it's true that Lin Qian was acting too out of place, and the reason he was looking for was to write an article. It's not that they don't know Lin Qian's strength.

These people left quickly and discussed the matter of drinking water in the afternoon.

"Eh?"

Zhang Zehan stood still.

It was Lin Qian who refused, what does it have to do with Zhang Zehan, why didn't he take me to play?
Leaving the academy, looking at the sullen Zhang Zehan beside him, Lin Qian suddenly thought, "Little fat man, don't be unhappy, I'll treat you to dinner at noon, Zuixianju, I'll treat you!"

Zhang Zehan was fat in vain, and Lin Qian always called him a fat man.

Although the name of Zuixianju is high, it is not considered a top-notch restaurant in Changsha City, it is considered to be below average, and a meal for two can save half a tael of silver.

"Ok?"

"Drunken Immortal Residence?"

When it came to food, Zhang Zehan's eyes lit up, and he swallowed, "It's been a long time since they had pork head meat!"

"No problem, enough pork head meat!"

Lin Qian slapped his chest loudly, "But you have to lend me two taels of silver first..."

He was still thinking about how to monetize his traffic, until just now, he had some ideas, but he still needed a start-up capital.

Zhang Zehan rolled his eyes, the feeling is that you, Lin Qian, treat me and I pay the bill, right?

But he didn't care anymore, and waved his hand, "Go, go, don't hurry up, their pork head meat will be sold out..."

It's only two taels of silver, and it doesn't hurt to treat friends to a meal.

……

Chang'an City, Wenji Pavilion, sitting directly above the lobby is a thin old man. It is Cao Mengruan, a great Confucian on duty in Wenji Pavilion, and the editor-in-chief of "Collected Works" that Zhang Zehan said was a great Confucian through novels.

There are two people sitting on the left and right at the bottom, both of them are great scholars of the current dynasty, and at least Confucian scholars of the fourth grade of Confucianism and Taoism. This is the editorial team of the "Collected Works" of the month. It is the five sitting here who have the final say.

At this time, they were flipping through a thin stone slab about a foot square in their hands. This is the case wall of the Wen Palace after it has been concretized. .

Suddenly, an academician frowned and fell into deep thought while looking at the article on the case wall in his hand.

In plain language, this article is both fragrant and stinky.

First of all, in terms of classification, if it is a biography, its content is compiled, so it should be regarded as a novel.

And novels have always been disliked by literati, so there are very few novels included in "Collected Works".

It can get rid of his illusory essence (setting a world without talents, nonsense), and the story itself also conveys the author's thoughts, pinpointing the current disadvantages, and it can be regarded as an article to convey the truth. From this point of view, this can be regarded as an article!

And being able to be overwhelmed by so many semi-sages and great scholars also reflects the interestingness of this article.

Being able to be included in the "Anthology" works, literariness is one aspect, and popularity is also an aspect. In terms of popularity, this article is fully qualified for the "Anthology".

Literariness is naturally close, but it is interesting and meaningful.

After hesitating for a moment, he still ticked off the article.

After submitting his own review, he saw the cross drawn by another colleague.

This is also the practice of their editorial team. An article is usually cross-reviewed by two academicians. If there is any dispute, they can communicate and negotiate with each other.

"Brother Gu, is it inappropriate for such a sensational article to appear in the Collected Works?"

Before he could ask aloud, another middle-aged man in a red robe sitting opposite him spoke first.

"What's wrong?" As a gentleman of the fourth rank of Confucianism and Taoism, Gu Kuang is correcting his body, waiting for the destiny, finding his own life goals, walking out of his own path, and launching an impact on the third rank of Confucianism and Taoism. There is a set of three views of self integrity. Once a decision is made, it will naturally not be changed easily.

"With the semi-sage as the main character, with such an ending, this kind of novel is suspected of defaming the semi-sage. If it appears in the "Collected Works", I am afraid that the semi-sage will blame it!"

"But Changji Bansheng himself has already praised the table, I'm afraid it's not my fault, right?"

"Hmph, he also ridiculed the imperial court, despised the current Holy Majesty, and acted rebelliously."

""Collected Works" is the "Collected Works" of scholars all over the world. It is not the collection of the imperial court, but it is also the collection of someone's collection. Half-sages don't mind, but today's sages can't be scolded?"

Gu Kuang didn't back down half a step. Although they had the royal salary, scholars had their own strength of character, how could they be able to serve the powerful?

"This kind of article is unconventional, sensationalizes the public, and the words and sentences are so crude that it is difficult to be elegant."

"Articles emphasize meaning rather than words. As long as they can convey good ideas, they are good articles. Otherwise, why do we need poems and songs? If the article is trapped in the words themselves, wouldn't they become slaves to the words?"

Undoubtedly, no one can convince the other if they say a word to each other.

"Please ask the Holy Judgment!"

After staring wide-eyed and small-eyed for a while, Gu Kuang folded his hands and looked up at the great Confucian Cao Mengruan.

Of course, Cao Mengruan had noticed the dispute between the two of them a long time ago, so he raised his hand and brought Gu Kuang's palace screen wall into his hand, and began to check it.

"Ok?"

"Can novels be written like this?"

"Using the semi-sage as the main character, inexplicably makes people feel very substituting, and it even mentions many big names in the literary world, which makes people smile unconsciously, as if it is a real thing that happened, no wonder so many of them All the sages and great scholars were overwhelmed."

Cao Mengruan, who used novels to prove Taoism and Confucianism, immediately discovered the subtleties.

If Lin Qian knew his question, he would probably tell him that this is a fan fiction!

"The literary quality is indeed a bit poor, and the words and sentences are too rough, but it is very interesting and has a certain meaning. It can be regarded as a good short story."

Thinking in his heart, Cao Mengruan raised his hand and wrote at the back of the article--the pioneering work of a new genre of novels, full of fun, a little less coquettish, can be included in "Collected Works"!
The Great Confucianism personally commented and made a final conclusion!
Even if someone is not convinced, they can only let it go.
