From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

In the Jin Dynasty, the Jinyiwei was a special existence. Different from the orthodox bureaucratic system, they acted boldly and violently, and could arrest people without evidence, and did not hesitate to torture them.

Their ruthless style and cruel methods made ordinary people and scholars shudder, and they dared not deal with them at all.

So when Jinyiwei was mentioned, all scholars were panicked.

Until this moment, Zhou Yuan finally wiped out the opponent's momentum. In other words, the opponent finally got into Zhou Yuan's rhythm.

"Wait!"

Beside Shen Qiaoshan, a young man stood up and said loudly: "Master Yuan Yi, Mr. Qiaoshan is a great scholar of the time. He cares about the contemporary literary world, so he took the risk to come here to discuss the truth."

"Mr. Qiaoshan means that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not worthy of its current status. As a bookstore, Mo Yunzhai has the obligation to maintain the dignity of the literary world and should stop publishing."

"This is a reasonable request, how can you misinterpret it at will and make false accusations at will!"

"In front of many scholars in Lin'an Prefecture, you, Mo Yunzhai, must give an explanation today, whether you should stop publishing this book and maintain the dignity of the literary world!"

Good guy, this big hat is directly put on, maintaining the dignity of the literary world, the taste is too strong.

And there is knowledge in it. Don't look at this outrageous statement. Once the answer is wrong, it will really offend the group of scholars, which will naturally affect the sales of the book.

Qu Ling was also very nervous, and there was already a little sweat on his face.

She was afraid that Zhou Yuan would say "What the hell is the dignity of the literary world" at this moment, and then Mo Yun Zhai would be completely finished.

You can offend a writer, but you must not offend most or all writers, otherwise Mo Yun Zhai will have no choice but to die.

People in this circle value face more than anything else.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "What's your name, brother?"

The man said proudly, "Jiang Caicong! My name is Xiuyan! I am honored to be a candidate in Lin'an Prefecture and a member of the poetry club."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Oh, it's Brother Xiuyan, how do you think popular books like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should be handled? I humbly ask for your advice."

Jiang Caicong was stunned for a moment. He couldn't let "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" be published again, so he had to destroy it.

So he shouted loudly: "This kind of work that tarnishes the literary world should be destroyed."

Zhou Yuan winked at Mo Xiang, and then said: "You lied! You don't want to destroy this book at all. You are just afraid of Shen Qiaoshan's reputation. You are a hypocritical person, you are not a gentleman."

As a writer, it is not okay not to be a gentleman!

Being slandered in front of so many people, Jiang Caicong was furious and said: "Nonsense! You are maliciously slandering and slandering!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "You dare not admit that you lied? Then prove it to us!"

At this moment, Mo Xiang had already brought a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to Jiang Caicong and handed the book to him.

Countless people looked at Jiang Caicong. Under this pressure, he immediately picked up "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and tore it into pieces in a few strokes.

Then he shouted: "As a scholar, how can I..."

"Bold!"

Zhou Yuan suddenly shouted and interrupted him.

"The laws of our Great Jin Dynasty clearly state that those who intentionally damage books will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane! A fine of one hundred taels of silver!"

After saying this, Zhou Yuan took out his Jinyiwei badge, held it high, and shouted: "As a Jinyiwei captain in Lin'an Prefecture! You actually challenged the dignity of the laws of our Great Jin Dynasty in front of me!"

"Come here! Take down this thief! Beat him with twenty strokes on the spot!"

So, Guan Dayong rushed out, holding a stick, and went directly to Jiang Caicong's side.

Jiang Caicong was dumbfounded. Is there anyone who can hurt people like this?

He shouted hurriedly: "You are unreasonable!"

Zhou Yuan still held up the badge of the Jinyiwei captain, and said lightly: "I am not good at talking about reason, but I like to beat people. Come here, execute it!"

"Yes!"

Guan Dayong picked up Jiang Caicong like a chicken and threw him to the ground.

Pick up the stick and start beating directly

Jiang Caicong screamed and didn't even have the strength to struggle. His face turned pale and he was sweating profusely.

The people around him were furious and rushed forward.

Zhou Yuan said loudly: "Anyone who obstructs the Jinyiwei from enforcing the law will be punished with the same crime. The serious ones will be arrested and sent to the imperial prison."

Now everyone stopped and looked at each other for a while, not daring to step forward.

What kind of place is the imperial prison? It's the hell that can stop babies from crying at night!

Guan Dayong obviously held back his strength, otherwise with Jiang Caicong's small body, he could have killed him with three hits.

But even if he was careful, Jiang Caicong would have fainted on the ground after twenty hits, like a dead man.

Zhou Yuan said: "You all saw that this person violated the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty. As a centurion of the Jinyiwei,This official has a reason and evidence, and it is not an abuse of lynching. "

Who dares to speak now? The scholars standing next to Shen Qiaoshan are so scared that their faces turn pale, fearing that they will anger Zhou Yuan.

Who knows that this Yuan Yi Zhenren who wrote the book is also a centurion of the Jinyiwei!

They will not doubt this identity, because the consequences of pretending to be a Jinyiwei are too serious, and no one will be so stupid.

"Oh! I don't know where I was just now because of this Jiang's disturbance. "

Zhou Yuan laughed again, looked at Shen Qiaoshan, squinted and said: "This old man, where were we talking about?"

Shen Qiaoshan swallowed his saliva and said with a stiff face: "What about Jinyiwei? I am upright and honest, and I just say what I want to say! The dignity of the literary world should be protected by us scholars. "

Many onlookers were silent. In fact, most of them came to see Zhou Yuan and participate in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" book fan event held by Mo Yunzhai. It was just that Shen Qiaoshan influenced them.

Zhou Yuan knew that it was time to truly protect Mo Yunzhai and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

If you keep acting like a hooligan, you will eventually ruin your reputation. In the final analysis, you have to show your muscles and talk about the truth.

Muscles alone cannot convince the public. The truth alone cannot be implemented.

He took a deep breath and said lightly: "Scholar? In fact, I am also a scholar, just a scholar."

"I have heard of Mr. Qiaoshan's name, but I am really disappointed when I saw him today."

This sentence is the most fundamental question to Shen Qiaoshan. Of course, he couldn't help but roar: "Why are you so disappointed! You are just a scholar, how dare you question my knowledge! "

Zhou Yuan looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qiaoshan talks about the dignity of the literary world and his academic attainments, but I don't know where the literary world comes from? Where does academic attainments come from?"

Shen Qiaoshan said: "I come from a family of scholars. I have been studying since I was a child. I have been diligent in studying for sixty years. I have the knowledge I have today. How can I get the reputation in vain?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Mr. Qiaoshan is from a family of scholars, but there are tens of millions of people in Dajin. Are all of them from a family of scholars?"

"How many people study when they are young, and when they grow up, they are forced to go to the fields to farm to make a living due to their poor family conditions?"

"How many people worry about food and clothing all their lives, and don't even have the opportunity to read and read books?"

"Are they not hardworking? Are they not good at learning? Are they lazy?"

"It's just because of their poor family! It's just because of their humble origins! It's just because of their miserable fate! "

Everyone around looked at Zhou Yuan and sighed for a while.

And Zhou Yuan continued: "But if there is a book that can bring fun to ordinary people who can only read, let them understand a magnificent history, let them rekindle their love for books, let them find the meaning of reading in a hard life... Why not! "

"If there is a book that can let poor people who are completely illiterate hear the stories in the book, understand a period of history, supplement the knowledge that fate cannot give them, let them learn loyalty and righteousness, and improve their morality... Why not! "

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is such a book! It is indeed just a popular novel. It is not the words of a saint, and it does not have a way to govern the world. "

"But it can bring fun to people, make people love history, let everyone rekindle hope, learn loyalty and patriotism, learn to value righteousness over profit, learn to take responsibility, and improve morality. "

"It can educate people! Educate illiterate people through stories! Spread moral concepts through stories! ”

“It can even inspire young children to love books and reading, and eventually study hard to realize their ideals.”

“These readers are the soil of Dajin. Only when the soil is fertile can towering trees grow and become a member of the literary world, making the literary world of Dajin richer and stronger.”

“This is the true dignity of the literary world!”

“The literary world is not only the literary world of Confucian scholars, but also the literary world of the people of Dajin!”

The world was silent.

Only the sun shone.

The tens of thousands of people present were breathing rapidly, their eyes were red, and they stared at Zhou Yuan.

“Well said!”

I don’t know who roared.

It was like thunder in the middle of the night in midsummer, resounding throughout the venue.

So countless voices swept across the entire Lin’an City like a tsunami.
