Chapter 655 Public Opinion Orientation

The next day, the Theory of the Six Kingdoms written by Su Chen began to spread among the dignitaries, literati, and brothels and restaurants in Jinling City.

Published by Su Chen, it has enough gimmicks that many people are rushing to circulate and recite it. The article is about Qin and the Six Kingdoms' opinions on the subjugation of the country, but it is thought-provoking and explains the inevitable fate of the Six Kingdoms.

This view can be combined with today's times, which makes many scholars and powerful people feel similar.

"What a great article. What a great article. It is not inferior to "Lun Hou Lun" and "Chibi Fu". Only Jiangzuo Sulang can write such articles."

"This is not parallel prose, but argumentative prose. Su Chen's style is unique. It is different from the parallel prose and Han Fu advocated by the ancient style movement. It also has a profound influence on the literary style of our era."

"Serving Qin with the land is like putting out a fire with a salary. If the salary is not used up, the fire will not be extinguished. It is so good to say. The court sent Su Chen and ceded the land to pay compensation. Isn't it really a case of putting out the fire with a salary."

"Everyone, although the Song Dynasty can let us go now, the Song Dynasty is ambitious and has long been prepared to unify the world. Whether it is the Shu Kingdom or the Tang Dynasty, only by fighting back vigorously and repelling the Song Army can this country

To be able to protect it, instead of resorting to compromise and ceding territory and paying compensation, it actually helped the Song Dynasty and made them stronger. They would also be looked down upon by the Northern Han Dynasty and the Shu Kingdom, and they had no blood at all."

Some literati began to talk about this matter in wine shops and teahouses. For a while, Jinling paper was expensive.

Gradually, the direction of public opinion began to change.

"Hey, now the Tang Dynasty no longer has the courage to fight. It is much worse than during the Liezu period. In other words, our Li Tang court has no fighting capacity. I really miss the Yang Wu regime in this land back then.

Taizu Yang Xingmi led Heiyundu to conquer the north and south. Even the Later Han Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty did not dare to go south to make trouble. Wu and Yue even called themselves brothers and did not dare to do anything out of line. Why? It was because Heiyundu was strong in combat and fought hard.

Gain fame!"

"Yes, I miss the Yang-Wu court very much. Unfortunately, the powerful minister Xu Wen was misled by his selfish motives and harmed the court. Then Xu Zhigao, a rebellious minister and traitor, seized power and established the Li-Tang court. That's why we in Jiangnan are so humiliated!"

Public opinion began to be guided towards the Yang Wu regime, making the people have a favorable impression of Yang Wu again. Among them were the spies from Heiyundu, who played a role in causing public opinion to be dissatisfied with the Li Tang court.

In one day, many people in Jinling City knew about "The Theory of Six Kingdoms" and rushed to circulate it and regard it as a classic.

Scholars, imperial students, and court officials all expressed their feelings after reading this book. They felt that it was a pity that Su Chen, a man with great literary talent, should be given to the Song Dynasty.

Some scholars were even incited to ask for orders outside the palace gate.

However, for the sake of their own selfish interests and short-term peace, the officials in the DPRK would not continue to write letters to persuade the official Li Yu to take back his life, because the deal was already done, and the officials hoped that the Song army could retreat as soon as possible and end the crisis in the Tang Dynasty.

………

Imperial Palace, inside Chengxin Hall.

After Li Yu read the transcript of "The Theory of Six Kingdoms", he was shocked and angry. What surprised him was Su Chen's talent, which made him a little jealous. Since Su Chen had excelled in both poetry and prose this year, it completely affected Li Yu's lyrics.

I am motivated to write because no matter how I write, I feel that it is not as profound, beautiful and philosophical as Su Chen's writing.

Therefore, Li Yu felt that his literary skills were declining and he was very jealous of Su Chen's talents.

What made him angry was that he sensed the irony in Su Chen's article and was dissatisfied with the court's practices, so he wrote a satirical article and used the past as a warning to the present.

Li Yu's attitude towards Su Chen has now changed, and he wants to send this person away from the bottom of his heart. Because of his existence, Li Yu himself has become less confident.

Without Su Chen in front of him, Li Yu felt that his abilities and self-confidence would be strengthened, he would feel more comfortable, and he would also feel that he had face in front of the queen and other women.

Kings often taboo against having someone whose talent surpasses his master, but Li Yu is also dissatisfied with someone whose talent surpasses his master's.

Because although he was an emperor, he had no talent for governing the country, and his management of government affairs was relatively mediocre. The only thing that could enlighten him was that he was a literary emperor, a model of talent, and he could surpass the scholars of the Tang Dynasty with his literary achievements.

However, if even this aspect is covered up by his ministers, Li Yu will completely deny his own excellence in his heart. Therefore, he begins to resent and resist Su Chen.

Princess Yongning in the palace couldn't put it down after reading this article, and her eyes were filled with tears.

She was unwilling to accept it, but she understood that she and Su Chen were destined to be destined to each other.

Once Su Chen left the Tang Dynasty, she lived in the palace and had no chance to see Su Chen again.

In two years' time, if the emperor's brother needs to win over a certain minister, he will betroth her to the minister's son and enter into a marriage. This will be Yongning's destiny.

Perhaps she had imagined in the past that when Su Chen's merits were enough, she hinted to the emperor's brother that she could also choose Su Chen as his consort. Although the hope was slim, there was at least a glimmer of a possibility.

But now, it is no longer possible.

………

Cheng Dexuan and deputy envoy Liang Jiong got the article "On the Six Kingdoms" in the National Pavilion. After reading it repeatedly, they admired Su Chen's talent.

Liang Jiong sighed for a long time: "I heard about Jiang Zuoshu Lang's talent when I was in the north, and I also bought his collection of poems and essays. Whether it is poems or articles, almost all of them are comparable to masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.

It is really commendable. But after all, the north and the south are far apart, and many rumors are spread by lies. But today we are in Jinling, in the same city as this person, and we can only feel it when we get the article written by Jiangzuo Sulangxin for the first time.

Such a shock!

"This Theory of the Six Kingdoms not only explains the relationship between the Six Kingdoms and Qin, it is thought-provoking, and the writing is capable, but the philosophical thinking is admirable! Although we in the north have had the number one scholar in the past, but with Su Chen,

Compared to that, it really pales in comparison.”

Cheng Dexuan said: "Yes, this Su Chen is indeed astoundingly talented. With time, he might actually be a literary master who has been passed down through the ages, comparable to Li Bai and Du Fu in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. No wonder that with such a talent, even us

Many officials and ministers in the court were eager to get this person.

"And have you noticed that this theory of the Six Kingdoms is obviously discussing the relationship between the Six Kingdoms and Qin, but in fact it is insinuating that the Tang, Wu, Yue, Shu, etc. surrendered to the Song Dynasty, or ceded territory and paid compensation.

This is the purpose of his writing. It is really rare to be able to combine the past and present with his own situation in such a short period of time. It is so sharp and in-depth."

Liang Jiong heard this and said excitedly: "I can't help but want to meet this person. I heard that Su Chen returned to Jinling the day before yesterday and attended the court meeting yesterday. Should we find an opportunity to meet this person?"

Cheng Dexuan thought that he came with a mission ordered by Zhao Guangyi. After meeting Su Chen, he still found an opportunity to convey Zhao Guangyi's meaning in private.

He said: "Okay, we can invite him to drink and communicate when we find time. The Tang Dynasty has given up on him, so we and he are both from the Song Dynasty. Drinking to add to the fun can also appease Su Chen's emotions and make friends in advance.

Ichiban.

Liang Jiong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, that's what I meant, then let's arrange the largest restaurant in Jinling?"

Cheng Dexuan nodded slightly and watched Liang Jong leave to take care of this matter. He was thinking about how to meet Su Chen privately.
