Seeing Yang Fan’s silence, Concubine Wei smiled and said, “Wannian County Duke, now there are so many remarks about you. I think it’s so aggrieved to marry you like Changle and Gao Yangxia!”

"Although I believe that many of them are attacked without reason, it is undeniable that they have had an extremely bad impact on the reputation of the royal family. Shouldn't you prove it?"

Yang Fan frowned: "How do you prove this?"

Could it be that you can still block other people's leisurely mouths?

You can’t just prove and refute whatever others say. Wouldn’t you be too tired to live?

Besides, this is just a rumor among the people. Wouldn’t you, a noble concubine, feel bored to listen to these gossips?

As the saying goes, rumors stop at the wise man. Concubine Wei was born in a scholarly family and was obviously not a stupid village woman. How could she say such words?

Obviously, this imperial concubine has ulterior motives!

Once Yang Fan cannot convince the public, wouldn’t he be a stick if he does it?

Before Wei Guifei answered, Xie Wenju smiled and said, "The Concubine said it well. There are many rumors about Wannian County Duke. One of them is that the poems written by Wannian County Duke for Princess Changle were all plagiarized, not written by him. However, this is just a rumor, and this son-in-law does not believe it!"

He said he didn't believe it, but Xie Wenju's face was full of teasing.

Yang Fan didn't care about Xie Wenju's agitation because he had copied the poems.

He even thinks that this rumor is actually very well-founded.

Just imagine, a guy who only knows how to enjoy and fight all day long can spread it widely if he writes a poem. How can it not be strange?

Therefore, plagiarism is the best explanation.

Moreover, this phenomenon is actually very common among high-level players.

After all, it is possible that you can spend a few dollars to hire a few poor students to write poems, and then take them out at the right time to show off, play a poet, and gain a reputation with extraordinary literary talent.

Yang Fan didn't care about these speculations and rumors, and he didn't want to be a great scholar to do academic research. Whatever you say!

If you have nothing to do, we will copy one or two works that suit the scene, so that we can make a sense of existence and disgust the other party. Why not do it?

However, Xie Wenju said that he copied poetry and deceived Changle's feelings, which was a bit too poisonous.

Originally, Yang Fan and Changle got together because of the entanglement of poetry. Wouldn’t that mean that Yang Fan is an emotional liar?

Once such a guess is confirmed, there will be a gap between you and Princess Changle.

It seems that this person should be on the line of Concubine Wei.

Otherwise, why did Concubine Wei just asked herself to prove that this guy said that the poem she wrote to Changle was plagiarized, and she was simply disgusting herself.

Seeing that there was an opportunity to attack Yang Fan, how could Xu Jingzong miss it? He stroked the short beard under his jaw and said with a smile: "Mr. Prince Consort, you have said this a little too much. Who doesn't know the talent of the county magistrate? Who doesn't know the Tang Dynasty?"

"Besides, the county magistrate had proved his talent in front of Jiangnan's great scholars last time. How could he say that his poems were plagiarism?"

"This must be some jealous and capable people who make up randomly and deliberately destroy it, trying to deal with the reputation of the county magistrate. How can we, as people in the scholars, not argue the truth or falsehood?"

Wang Jingzhi also laughed and said, "Mr. Xu is so bad. Although the rumors are only wise, how many wise people in the world can distinguish right from wrong?"

"There are very few people in the Tang Dynasty who can read and read. If they want the people not to spread rumors, they also have to stand up and rectify their names!"

These people sang and said it out loud.

You Yang Fan are capable, and today I will drink and write poems in front of everyone!

Otherwise, you are deceiving the world and stealing reputation, plagiarizing, or deceiving your feelings.

Looking at the proud Xu Jingzong, Xie Wenju and others, Yang Fan was speechless!

I didn’t expect that there are still people in this world who like to find someone to slap in the face.

But before Yang Fan could refute, Prince Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Yang Fan's talent, I have seen it with my own eyes, how can I say plagiarism?"

"The words in the market are mostly sensational, so why should everyone take them seriously? The people are ignorant and like slanderous words. Everyone here is a well-read poet and bookish person, so how can they be so short-sighted?"

Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er nodded with a smile.

The prince’s transformation over the past few days has made his father very pleased.

If it were the past, with the prince's weak personality, he would definitely not offend so many people for one person.

It seems that Prince Li Chengqian not only has his mentality corrected, but also has his own opinions on the incident.

Now, the world's bad nature has been explained incisively, which is the soberingness that the heirs of the empire should have.

If you can always show this way, why should you have the desire to save yourself?

Of course, Li Chengqian didn't know what His Majesty Li Er thought at this time, but he had to speak out to protect Yang Fan.

Not only because Yang Fan is indeed talented, but he realized Yang Fan's influence on His Majesty Li Er.

If Yang Fan had not kept his position as crown prince, he might have lived like a year in panic.

Once the father issued an edict to the Yi Chu, he and his family would be in trouble...

It was just that his defense for Yang Fan surprised Concubine Wei and Xu Jingzong. I wonder when Yang Fan was so close to the prince?

Don’t we keep a certain distance between this boy Yang Fan and the princes?

The two of them didn't say anything, but Xie Wenju changed his face instantly, and a jealousy surged into his heart.

As the legitimate son of the Xie family of the Jiangnan gentry, he has a noble status and married a royal woman.

But his wife is only the daughter of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan, and a palace maid.

Although he is a princess in name, he is a princess who does not even have a title. This is why his son-in-law, the name of the prince-consort, is unknown.

However, Yang Fan married two of the most brilliant princesses in the Tang Dynasty royal family alone, so Xie Wenju was naturally envious and jealous.

In addition, Yang Fan is about to go to Jiangnan, and he will inevitably become hostile to their Xie family. Xie Wenju will naturally not give up the opportunity to attack Yang Fan's reputation.

Although Xie Wenju was indignant, his face was still full of spring breeze, and he looked like a gentle and gentleman: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is such a bad word. Isn't this just for a hundred years of life just to fight for a breath?"

"Geese leave their voices, and people leave their reputations. If people don't make their reputations, why should they strive to work hard for the best?"

"If Wannian County Master really has real talent and knowledge, why should I be afraid of mere rumors? Now I have the opportunity to prove my innocence, and the County Master should stand up and defend himself with poetry."

"Otherwise, the world says that its shameless plagiarism is to please His Highness the Princess. The words of the whole country will not only make it difficult to block the world's long mouth, but also damage the reputation of the royal family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jingzong clapped his hands and applauded: "The prince consort said it well, not to mention that now it is just a drinking order, which is a game work. Why should your highness rush to defend Yang Fan?"

Looking at Xu Jingzong, Li Chengqian felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

This famous scholar in the Shilin originally wanted to defect to him, but unfortunately this guy is too utilitarian, so he wanted to beat him up.

However, Xu Jingzong turned around and got very close to Concubine Wei. Now it seems that this guy is indeed not a trustworthy person.

But no matter what, Li Chengqian was still a little sad.

He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. These people really don't like him as the prince?

After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he actually felt a little regretful. After all, Li Chengqian is still the crown prince now.

Now he is blatantly targeting Yang Fan because Yang Fan will inevitably affect the interests of the Jiangnan gentry.

As one of the representatives of the Jiangnan gentry, he had the obligation to make Yang Fan's reputation bad and make it difficult for Yang Fan to move forward in Jiangnan, thus achieving his goal.

But now Li Chengqian is trying to protect Yang Fan, which is somewhat beyond his expectations.

The crown prince was not favored by His Majesty Li Er, and his position as the crown prince was in danger, which led to Xu Jingzong's transfer to Concubine Wei.

But it does not mean that Xu Jingzong will fully support Concubine Wei's son.

As an investor, the smartest thing is to cast a net everywhere. Xu Jingzong didn't want to put eggs in a basket.

But when facing Yang Fan, he was full of jealousy and could not suppress it!

After all, if it weren't for Yang Fan, his eldest son Xu Zhang would not have died tragically.

Now that there is an opportunity to attack Yang Fan, Xu Jingzong certainly doesn't want to miss it.

Yang Fan didn't care about Xu Jingzong and others' thoughts, but instead lowered his eyebrows and head to drink constantly. He didn't care about his reputation in the Shilin.

As long as the people at the bottom are thinking about their own good things, why bother going to Shilin to make a good reputation?

But Yang Fan couldn't figure it out. He obviously didn't want to have conflicts with these people, so why did they target them everywhere?

Is it because I want to go down to Jiangnan to open a waterway to form a shipping yamen?

Once you have successfully gained a foothold in Jiangnan, these people are not afraid of me resolving the score later?

Yang Fan doesn’t care about his reputation at all. If you like to say it, just say it casually. Are you still afraid of this rumor?

However, Princess Gaoyang stopped doing it. The princess's pretty face was tense and said fragilely: "Please be careful, please be careful. You always say that your husband is not really talented and knowledgeable, but you don't know how many people are talking about it and how many people are spreading it? As the saying goes, rumors stop at wise men. With the wisdom and insight of you, how can you be so ignorant?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Wei's face turned red and she stared at the "daughter" who did not give her any face.

Seeing this, His Majesty Li Er pretended to shout and said, "Shu'er, why don't you apologize to your aunt?"

But Princess Gao Yang turned a blind eye and looked resentful with her neck in her face.

His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to stop talking and use drinking to hide his embarrassment.

However, Xiao Yizi stared at Yang Fan with her big eyes and asked in a slight voice: "Brother-in-law, why are there so many boring people in the world? She is obviously very talented."

"Besides, you are still the top scorer in the imperial examination this year. How could anyone say that you don't have real talent and knowledge? You're simply blind!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Xu Jingzong and others with strange expressions!
