Chapter 41 The Big Controversy in Chang'an City
Ying'er, who returned to the Lu Mansion, instantly lost the angry look on her face.After entering the gate of Lu Mansion, he ran all the way to Lu Deming's study.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Luo Yan is famous today." The little girl opened the door and shouted incessantly, looking very excited.That happy mood was completely gone from the displeased Luo Yan just now.

Lu Deming put down the book in his hand, stroked his beard, smiled and asked the granddaughter who was still shouting, "Oh, then tell me how Luo Yan became famous?" mind.

"Grandpa, you don't know that Luo Yan wrote a poem on the wall of someone's restaurant. In the end, the people from Prince Qin's mansion even removed the wall. It is said that it cost a total of 200 taels of silver." Yinger stretched out two With one finger, he kept shaking: "By the way, for so many years, my pocket money has not been 200 taels. Grandpa, add five coins to me next month, oh no, ten pocket money." The girl was sly blinked.She deeply knew that when it came to her grandfather, a closed disciple, he would be very generous.

Sure enough, Lu Deming stroked his beard and laughed, and said, "Okay, as long as you can recite the poems written by Luo Yan, from this month onwards you will add [-] cash to your monthly bill, that's fine."

Hearing that her grandpa added far more money to her than expected, the little girl narrowed her happy eyes and thought to herself: Fortunately, I asked Luo Yan to explain it several times before, otherwise my little money would be gone. .

Immediately, with that crisp voice, he recited the preface written by Luo Yan together with the poem.After the recitation, the little girl seemed to be showing off, and raised her chin, putting on my best posture.

After listening to the little girl's narration, Lu Deming chatted with the little girl about what he saw when he went out today, and then let her go back to the backyard.

As for Luo Yan, originally Ying'er was bouncing and walking very fast, so he could only hang far behind.When he arrived at Lu's mansion, he put the things in his hands back in his room, washed his hands and wiped his face, and then walked towards Lu Deming's study.

Comparing the two, the little girl returned to the backyard after talking about what she saw today, and Luo Yan went to Lu Deming's study.

After entering the study and saluting to Lu Deming, he only heard Lu Deming say: "You did a good job today."

Luo Yan was stunned by this sentence, is this not bad today?Although he said that he was in the limelight, he seemed to have offended others.And Luo Yan did that thing at the time because he thought of himself as a cynical youth.On the way here, he was ready to be taught by Lu Deming.

Seeing Luo Yan's bewildered expression, Lu Deming explained: "I said you did a good job. I didn't mean to encourage you to offend people, nor did I encourage you to talk about state affairs. It's just that your preface was well written."

"I don't know why the teacher said that?" Luo Yan was a little confused, because he really didn't think his preface would be better than the poem.

"In your "Book of Quan", except for the preface, I have gradually released other articles. Do you know why you put the preface at the end? Because this short hundred or so words can cause a great controversy among Confucians. If you succeed, you will be promoted all the way in Shilin; if you fail, you will be at ease in the ups and downs of your official career, and you will never think about learning again. Your remarks not only justify your methods on the battlefield, but also pave the way for yourself .Presumably, as long as someone knows the sequence of your sentences, there will be no more disputes."

Luo Yan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he had done a good deed for himself by making a mistake.

"Hey, it's really unintentional." Luo Yan also touched his head, feeling very grateful.

The two masters and apprentices started a new discussion on the matter of Confucianism knowing soldiers.Lu Deming also took great pains for this disciple.Originally, according to his current research on Confucian classics, there is no need to work so hard.But now because of Luo Yan's affairs, he has to stay up all night thinking about how to pave the way for Luo Yan.

The master and apprentice were busier than usual on this holiday. In the middle of the night, Luo Yan was moved and forced Lu Deming back to the backyard to let him rest.

When Luo Yan arrived at the Secretary Department the next day, those people in the editorial seminary looked at Luo Yan differently.

As soon as Chen Shuda arrived at the editorial seminary, he called Luo Yan over, and after asking about his recent life, he said casually: "Jinzhi, I also heard about the poem you wrote yesterday, and it's a good idea. It’s just that the murderous spirit is too strong. You are still young, if you have some ideas about something, please tell us. We old bones still have some use.”

Obviously, Chen Shuda knew why Luo Yan wrote the poem, so he gently reminded Luo Yan.

As for the others, because they haven't officially started compiling a book yet, and their friendship with each other is very shallow, there is nothing to talk about.

However, in the past few days, several editors have discussed the general editing framework, but because it is next to the field holiday and considering that the holiday is too long, they did not start editing directly at this time.

Luo Yan had no choice but to continue drinking tea and looking at the "Beitang Shuchao".

However, a poem by Luo Yan sparked a big discussion in Chang'an City.From ministers of civil and military affairs to traffickers and pawns, in short, the topic of Chang'an City these days has been occupied by benevolence, righteousness and military affairs.

What ignited the discussion was what Li Yuan said in Tai Chi Palace.That day after Li Yuan's morning court, he was resting in the Taiji Palace, and in his spare time, he talked about Luo Yan's poems with the people around him.Because Luo Yan's "Book of Quan" had caused a lot of trouble in the city, Li Yuan also had some impressions. Li Yuan, who started out as a rebel, agreed with Luo Yan's words after listening to Luo Yan's poem.

But the living room people next to him were not happy.

After all, Li Yuan's words and deeds are to be recorded and used as materials for writing history books. Aren't Li Yuan's words directly intended to draw conclusions on Luo Yan?Therefore, even if this housekeeper was beaten to death, he would not be happy for Li Yuan to say that.So began some painstaking remonstrance.

"Your Majesty, you're making a fool of yourself. If you say that, Luo Yan will destroy my Confucianism."

"I don't think there is anything wrong with what he said. It's very good, so you can write it like this."

"Your Majesty, please think again."

"No, that's all."

Li Yuan's stubborn statement completely annoyed some rotten scholars in the scholar forest.For a moment, the officials in Chang'an seemed to have gone crazy, they first toughened Li Yuan, and then turned their fire on Luo Yan.

This time, Luo Yan was finally dragged into the frying pan.

Originally, these speech officials and rotten scholars thought that Luo Yan was just a ninth-rank sesame official who just came up from the Jinshi Department, and killing him would not be casual.But who would have thought that just after someone impeached Luo Yan, the forces of Prince Qin's mansion suddenly took action.

The first is a memorial written by Li Shimin himself, expressing emotion to Li Yuan about the poem written by Luo Yan.Lamenting that I was born and died on the battlefield, I didn't expect this infamy to come out before I died.Many soldiers on the front line were a little sad and wronged when they heard someone in Chang'an say that it was inhumane to flood Liu Heita's troops.

Li Yuan panicked when he saw that these officials were so high, it would be fine if the troops on the front line lost their morale. In a fit of rage, he almost threw Li Shimin's papers in the faces of the officials.

Then there was Lu Deming, who blatantly showed off the short and concise "Preface" in "Book of Quan" in the Imperial College.

Now, Luo Yan has gained a firm footing.

But the counterattack continued.Following Lu Deming's statement, some famous Confucian scholars who saw the essence of the matter also supported Luo Yan one after another.After all, Luo Yan also said that benevolence and righteousness are the way, and military affairs are the art, which vaguely means to elevate Confucianism.The founding of the Tang Dynasty was basically a stage for generals, and governance was the forte of scholars.However, if Confucian scholars can know how to fight, then wouldn't it be all right to establish virtue and make meritorious deeds in the future?

If that's all there is to it.But what these speech officials and rotten scholars did not expect was that there was another force that also began to support Luo Yan, and that was honor.

Most of the nobles also started their careers following Li Yuan's rebellion, and no one has been in charge of the army in these years.These large and small wars have also experienced a lot, so those who founded the Tang Dynasty can gain glory and family background.At this moment, someone suddenly jumped out and said that this battle on the battlefield is against the way of benevolence and righteousness.Of course, as the big discussion continued, some people began to speak nonsense without using their brains.

How can this work?I was born and died to help Datang found the country, and now the situation has finally stabilized, you group of powerless scholars just want to mess with us.These nobles were not stupid either, they called in the diners to help write the apology, and they all came to Li Yuan to complain.

This guy made Taiji Palace crowded with people all day long.Li Yuan wanted to refuse the interview, for fear that these nobles would feel uncomfortable, after all, they were born and died together.But if you want to talk about interviews, one after another, you will talk about what the officials are doing.

Li Yuan became angry, and in order to appease the grievances of these nobles, he directly dismissed several of the most vicious officials.As for the reason, what, does this need a reason?
In the end, the debate ended in farce.As the instigator, Luo Yan calmly stayed in the editorial academy drinking tea and reading books.In the end, only those officials became victims.Through this incident, Luo Yan's name began to be known in the upper circles of Chang'an.Because Luo Yan's backer was also exposed during this period, it was undoubtedly the Prince Qin's Mansion. Therefore, in the eyes of these assistants in the Editing Institute, Luo Yan naturally became an existence that should not be easily provoked.

And with the end of this farce, the field holiday that everyone was looking forward to also came.The Editing Academy also officially notified that the editing work of "Yiwenleiju" will start after the end of the field vacation.

This made Luo Yan worry.What are you going to do on this field vacation? Recently, I have gotten used to the state of working during the day and studying at night. Once I am on vacation, it is inevitable that there will be no specific arrangements during the day, leaving Luo Yan feeling empty.
