Chapter 542 The End(2/2)
Chen Xueli nodded in agreement.
Yang Fan laughed even more happily, his eyes passed over everyone's bodies, and then he stared at Huang Ben and shouted sternly: "Huang Ben, I wrote this poem first, and you took out this poem later. This is not plagiarism by you.
What are my words? How dare you quibble?"
Huang Ben suddenly panicked and said with gleaming words: "What evidence do you have? Besides, the time when we made this word is only a few hours apart, why do you think I plagiarized you? Chang'an and Jiangnan are thousands of miles apart, and I
You can’t just fly over and copy it, right?”
Seeing this scene, Yang Fan burst into laughter and became even more sure of what he was thinking.
Someone in Chang'an must have sent this poem thousands of miles away to Jiangnan within a few hours.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan didn't give Huang Ben a chance to recover, and asked loudly: "Of course you can't grow wings and fly to Chang'an, but there is something that can fly thousands of miles away to Jiangnan in a few hours.
"
Huang Ben's expression changed drastically, and he argued forcefully: "You are talking nonsense. How is it possible that something in this world can fly thousands of miles away in just a few hours?"
Yang Fan smiled and said nothing.
In this era without airplanes and high-speed trains, the fastest way to deliver letters is the carrier pigeon.
According to Yang Fan’s understanding, carrier pigeons were used to transmit military intelligence during the Northern Song Dynasty.
Although I don’t know if there is any mature channel for transmitting information using homing pigeons.
However, raising homing pigeons has a history of thousands of years in China, and it is inevitable that some strange people will discover the convenience.
The flight speed of homing pigeons is about 150 kilometers per hour.
In six or seven hours, we can definitely reach Jiangnan, which is thousands of miles away.
Of course, this kind of homing pigeon is definitely one of a kind.
So Yang Fan spoke eloquently: "Of course there is something that can fly thousands of miles away to the south of the Yangtze River within a few hours, and the one who delivers the news is the pigeon."
"Did someone in Chang'an bring you this poem and let you keep it as your own, so that you can deliberately frame someone today?"
"If you tell me honestly, I can ask your Majesty to re-impose you. If not, it will be enough for you to confiscate your family and exterminate your family for the crime of falsely accusing an official of the imperial court."
Seeing Yang Fan's words, Huang Ben immediately broke his defense and shouted in disbelief: "How do you know that pigeons can pass..."
After only half of what he said, Huang Ben immediately realized that he had been tricked by Yang Fan!
How did Yang Fan know so clearly whether this guy was a human or a god?
This kid just kept putting pressure on himself just to make himself say the wrong thing, and he was indeed fooled.
Although he didn't finish his words, it could be seen from everyone's strange eyes that he was in trouble!
As expected, His Majesty Li Er could not let Huang Ben escape justice and was dragged out of the main hall with screams.
Everyone knew that even if Huang Ben was lucky enough to survive, his life would be over.
For a moment, the main hall fell into dead silence.
Finally, a sigh broke the silence.
I saw Chen Xueli saying with a defeated face: "I am old and dim-sighted. It is a lifelong shame for me to testify for such a person."
"From now on, I will definitely go back to the mountains and forests to study with all my heart, and no longer pay attention to the entanglements in the world. I hope the county magistrate will not take offense to what happened today."
Yang Fan waved his hand indifferently: "Mr. Chen is too worried. All of this was done by those cunning traitors. What does it have to do with you? If you go into seclusion, wouldn't it be a great loss to the empire?"
Chen Xueli said with admiration: "County Lord Wannian has a broad mind. He is indeed different from ordinary people. I am ashamed of myself!"
"The county official is very talented. I wonder if I can write a poem for the old man, so that my trip to Chang'an will not be in vain?"
Yang Fan did not refuse, and directly assumed the attitude of a literary giant, holding the pen with one hand, and began to write rapidly on the rice paper.
Xu Jingzong on one side looked at Yang Fan's focused expression, and then looked at the rice paper one after another, dumbfounded.
Xu Jingzong calmed down slightly and thought of the saying spread in Chang'an: "This son is the talent of the Prime Minister..."
This was originally a casual remark made by His Majesty Li Er to express his respect for Yang Fan, but now, it made Xu Jingzong feel a lot.
The Yang family was originally just a lonely noble family.
Because of the emergence of Yang Fan, the tide has risen, and there is a faint tendency to rise.
However, compared with many aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, they are still not worth mentioning, just like the bright moon and the fireflies.
But looking at it now, Xu Jingzong is a little worried.
Among the second or even third generation of the Xu family, there are not many talented descendants among the young and dandy.
Xu Zhang, the most talented eldest son, also died in the imperial examination.
There is no one left who can support the Menlin family business.
It can be foreseen that in the near future, the Xu family, as a Jiangnan noble family, will inevitably be suppressed and weakened by the emperor.
Xu's will definitely show a downward trend.
On the other hand, the Yang family has already soared into the sky.
Yang Fan gained the emperor's trust and had a wide network of contacts in the court.
Even when Yang Fan encountered crises several times, no one stood up to support him.
In fact, that was not the critical moment.
Once the fundamental interests of the Yang family are shaken, Yang Fan's connections will surely surprise everyone.
Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji...who dares to despise these people?
The young people from these families have already been tied to Yang Fan's chariot.
The most important thing is that Yang Fan is the emperor's son-in-law.
Of course, Yang Fan is also good enough.
Regardless of talent or ability, he is able to overwhelm his peers in all aspects.
When you mount your horse, you can fight, and when you dismount, you can make money.
He is unique among the younger generation in Chang'an and has strong appeal.
As long as we continue to develop according to this trend, the future is limitless, and it will simply be the pillar of the future of the empire!
