Yang Fan's sudden appearance disrupted Xu Jingzong's formation.

Logically speaking, the gentry in Jiangnan was the most scheming person.

From his success in the original history, we can see that Xu Jingzong was a man who could endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.

Originally, he arranged for Huang Ben to sue Li Tai, which ruined Yang Fan's reputation for plagiarism.

You know, after being embarrassed at Wangyue Tower, Xu Jingzong had already started preparing.

After Yang Fan wrote the poem "When will the bright moon come?", he used the birds he had secretly trained to send a message to Huang Ben, asking him to take the poem for himself in Jiangnan.

In this era of information not circulating, their plans have been traversed.

Yang Fan made this poem at noon on the autumn evening, and Huang Ben stole this poem at the early morning of the next day, with a time difference of about seven hours.

What Xu Jingzong planned was a difference in information and distance.

Because no one would have thought that anyone could pass this poem from Chang'an to Jiangnan thousands of miles away in just seven or eight hours.

This is also the reason why Huang Ben is so bold and wronged by Yang Fan for plagiarism.

Of course, this time, the Jiangnan gentry sent people to the capital not just to deal with Yang Fan, but to stop the emperor from reaching out to Jiangnan.

As one of the representative figures of the Jiangnan gentry, Xu Jingzong of course also had to participate and prevent His Majesty Li Er from reaching out to Jiangnan.

But he didn't want to be the first to be the first, so he started using the pit he had dug for Yang Fan a year ago.

This is also the origin of Huang Ben's remarks accusing Yang Fan of plagiarism.

In his opinion, with the great Confucian scholar Chen Xueli as a witness, he could definitely achieve the purpose of confusing the public.

As long as the rumors of Yang Fan's plagiarism are deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.

Even if Yang Fan wanted to refute it later, it would be useless.

But something unexpected happened.

Li Tai and Yang Fan had never been against each other, but they never thought that Yang Fan was invited to attend today's banquet.

It seems that the plan is not as good as change!

At this time, Xu Jingzong was very confused. He was weighing whether to come forward to fight Yang Fan.

Through the incident in Wangyue Tower, Xu Jingzong actually didn't want to confront Yang Fan head-on.

But now he finally invited the emperor over, and if he gave up like this, Xu Jingzong was very unwilling to accept it.

After all, the reason why the emperor rushed over today was that Xu Jingzong secretly revealed the whereabouts of Chen Xueli, a great scholar.

It can be said that Xu Jingzong made great contributions to the appearance of the emperor.

The purpose is to make His Majesty Li Er's reputation for plagiarism and confirm Yang Fan's reputation for plagiarism.

As long as Yang Fan is stigmatized, His Majesty Li Er will not be able to send Yang Fan to Jiangnan to open up shipping routes and let the court coordinate maritime trade.

In the eyes of the Jiangnan gentry, as long as Yang Fan's reputation is devastated, Li Er's determination to reach out to Jiangnan will definitely be shaken.

At that time, the Jiangnan gentry will make a fuss and give some benefits. As long as His Majesty Li Er's appearance is not too ugly, the Jiangnan gentry can give up some benefits and can fool them as before.

They can continue to dominate the world on their own acres.

As the Huangmen of the School Inspection Officer, Xu Jingzong of course knew the emperor's determination to intervene in Jiangnan, and was very strong in this matter.

Anyone who wants to stop will not have a good ending, and the most suitable candidate for the emperor to extend his hand to Jiangnan instead of the emperor is undoubtedly Yang Fan.

The purpose of Huang Ben and his friends to come to the capital this time was to cut off the emperor's hand that was about to reach out to Jiangnan.

For this reason, they even let Chen Xueli, a famous scholar who was famous in Jiangnan, accompany him to Beijing.

Now Yang Fan's accident has made Xu Jingzong know that if he doesn't take action, their plan may be disappointed.

However, Xu Jingzong was still hesitant, he was weighing the pros and cons.

He knew very well that from the moment Yang Fan appeared, it was impossible to truly discredit Yang Fan's reputation.

But through this incident, the only effect that can be achieved was to let the emperor realize the determination of the Jiangnan gentry to resist.

As one of the representative figures of the Jiangnan gentry, Xu Jingzong knew that he could never retreat at this moment.

You should know that the gentry in Jiangnan have long depended on each other and have become a whole of interests.

Marriage, maritime trade, officialdom...

The joint efforts of all aspects have made His Majesty, the wise and powerful His Majesty Li Er have to be afraid of the Jiangnan gentry.

Although Jiangnan belonged to the Tang Dynasty and was managed by the court, in fact, these Jiangnan geniuses were the real local emperors.

Over the years, they have also known the power of unity.

Because only unity can make you stronger!

Therefore, even if you know that Yang Fan can no longer be curbed, you still have to support this action.

Otherwise, if the centrifugation within the Jiangnan gentry and the emperor does not need to take action, their interest group will collapse.

Besides, Huang Ben is his son-in-law. If he cannot confirm Yang Fan's reputation for plagiarism, then Huang Ben will definitely suffer.

Therefore, Xu Jingzong had a reason to have to speak out.

Now he really regrets letting the emperor come here, but now that things have come, he has no choice but to retreat.

Xu Jingzong pondered for a while, organized the language and said, "Your Majesty, I just heard the story of the prince and the King of Wei. Huang Ben's words do make some sense."

"Everyone knows that Wannian County is impulsive and aggressive in fairness, and can only speak with its fists. It is not like a person who is well-read in poetry and books at all."

"It is indeed doubtful that such a person can continuously produce excellent poetry works that have been passed down through the ages."

"Many of Yang Fan's poems have a deep understanding of human nature or emotions. How can a person who has never experienced the emotion of parting, write such profound poems?"

"As Huang Ben said, Yang Fan did not suffer from separation at all, so how could he write a word about how long would the bright moon feel so sad?"

"All these things show that this word must have been plagiarized, so I think Yang Fan's virtue needs to be improved. It is still to be discussed to define Zhangzhou and Quanzhou as his fiefdom. Please give your Majesty a clear review."

hehe!

Yang Fan was happy, and this guy's fox tail was finally revealed!

Sure enough, it was because the Chaozhou proposed to establish a shipping yamen that caused a rebound from the Jiangnan family.

His Majesty Li Er also saw the clues and glanced at Xu Jingzong indifferently, and felt a little angry.

Only then did he realize that he had been put on by Xu Jingzong.

The drunkard's intention is not to drink!

Today, Xu Jingzong hurriedly asked himself to come over, obviously not because he met any great scholars in Jiangnan.

But they, the scholars in Jiangnan, wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

And Yang Fan was the chicken, and he became the monkey himself.

As the emperor, His Majesty Li Er likes to be threatened the most.

When Geely Khan threatened him, Li Er let Geely fall to his country.

Some time ago, Cui, Qinghe, took the lead in threatening himself to issue an edict to punish himself, so I will let him exterminate the clan.

With the lessons learned from the past, these Jiangnan gentry actually wanted to do the same trick again, and they really didn't know how to live or die.

It seems that although this incident seems to be targeting Yang Fan today, it is actually aimed at himself!

Besides, is Jiangnan not the territory of the Tang Dynasty?

Is the land of the king's land the land? Who do you want to give your fief to? What's the turn to do?

Besides, I just proposed to establish a government office to manage overseas trade, with the purpose of increasing the court's fiscal revenue.

You so-called Jiangnan families are like you have touched your life, united to fight against me. Do you really think that my knife is unfavorable?

To be honest, if it weren’t for fear of excessive killing causing turmoil in the world, His Majesty Li Er really wanted to start a big killing again!

The land in the south of the Yangtze River has abundant people.

As the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it has always been outside the control of the court, which is the biggest provocation to an emperor!

From this point of view, it doesn’t matter whether Yang Fan plagiarizes or not!

They just wanted to confirm Yang Fan's plagiarism so as to achieve the purpose of putting pressure on me and demonstrating.

Li Er was thinking a lot, constantly calculating gains and losses, and considering what to do.

At this moment, Yang Fan's voice sounded again.

"Mr. Xu kept saying that what Huang Ben said was reasonable, but there was no real evidence. Is such a person worthy of being a famous official in the Shilin?"

"It is said that all the eighteen academic officials in the Qin Dynasty are well-read and are pillars of the country. I think Mr. Xu is narrow-minded, but that's just like that."

"Finally, I want to ask, "You said I can only punch and kick. Without the elegance of a literati, it is impossible to make good poems. So, I wonder if Mr. Xu, as a famous scholar, can you have any masterpieces that have been passed down through the ages?"

When His Majesty Li Er really wanted to applaud Yang Fan's question with a stick.

It also made him feel at ease for no reason, and some smiles were added to the corners of his eyes.

Yes, with Yang Fan here, there is no need to worry at all.
