"Master Shang, Master Peng, I'm sorry to have brought a few friends here privately!" Yang Ding apologized when he saw Shang Ren.

"Master Yang, I don't know what to call these people?"

Yang Ding smiled and introduced: "This is Gongsun Yi. His ancestral home is Qingzhou Prefecture. He is a good friend of mine. He also came to Beijing with me this time. This is Brother Gongsun's confidante, Miss Su!"

"Gongsun Yi? Are you Gongsun Yi?" Peng Shi's eyes lit up, he glanced at Gongsun Yi and asked.

"Master Peng, do you know?" Gongsun Yi asked in surprise.

Peng Shi laughed and said: "You and I are scholars of the same discipline. Although I don't know you, I have heard about you a long time ago. And I have also read your fragments. To be honest, it is a pity.

There are only a few hundred words left to complete the fragment. If you could finish the fragment back then, I might not be able to get the top prize in the imperial examination!"

Gongsun Yi shook his head and said: "Master Peng is too modest. I have also read Master Peng's papers. To be honest, I feel inferior to you."

"Oh? Have you read my examination papers? How could you have read my examination papers when you are far away in Qingzhou?"

Gongsun Yidao: "When Wala besieged the capital, I was not in Qingzhou, but in the capital. And the examination paper of Master Peng that I read at that time was just a copy that had been copied, not the original!"

"Oh, that's it. I didn't expect that Mr. Gongsun not only has outstanding literary talent, but also cares about his family, country and the world. For this reason alone, he is better than Peng. Peng admires him!"

Everyone knew that Peng Shi was talking about the fact that he still wanted to go home to honor his stepmother when the country was in crisis. This incident not only made the current emperor unhappy, Shang Ren must have scolded him just now, otherwise Peng Shi

It's impossible to admit so frankly that I was a little stubborn back then.

"Mr. Yang, is this ---?" Shang Ren glanced at Chu Wenjun, who was closer to Yang Ding. This woman was obviously closer to Yang Ding. It seemed that Yang Ding had brought her here.

Yang Ding smiled and said: "This is the real owner these days!"

Shang Ren was startled for a moment, and then he asked with a hint of surprise: "Is this Miss Chu from Xianzui Tower?"

Yang Ding smiled and nodded, but Chu Wenjun asked puzzledly: "Master Yang, who is the real owner these days?"

Shang Ren smiled and explained: "Miss Chu, don't you know that Mr. Yang was impeached again today?"

"Ah? Master Yang was impeached again? Master Shang, is it because of Wenjun?"

Shang Ren smiled and nodded, and said, "Master Yang made the emperor so angry that he cursed me today. Do you think it's interesting?"

Chu Wenjun said to Yang Ding with an apologetic look: "Master Yang, Wenjun has been dragging Master Yang down these days!"

Yang Ding smiled and waved his hands and said: "Miss Chu, don't listen to Mr. Shang. It is true that I was impeached, and the reason is also true. This seems to be related to Miss Chu, but in fact it has nothing to do with it. In the final analysis, it is because of my officials.

It’s just the wrong thing!”

Several people asked for a few bottles of wine, and Chu Wenjun and Su Jianjian also took the initiative to fill the bottles. After several rounds, these grown men admired Chu Wenjun and Su Jianjian's drinking capacity, and several people guessed a few more.

During the drinking ceremony, Su Jianjian and Chu Wenjun each wrote a poem, which immediately made these top talents of the Ming Dynasty admire them with admiration.

"Miss Chu, Miss Su, I didn't expect that the two girls are as talented as my Ming Dynasty talents. Alas, it's a pity that fate plays tricks on people. I believe that the two girls will be able to watch the clouds clear and see the moonlight!" After several rounds of wine orders, the businessman

Ren praised Chu Wenjun and Su Jianjian.

Chu Wenjun said: "Thank you Lord Shang, Sister Su.

Your bright moon has appeared, but Wenjun’s, I don’t know where it is yet!”

Shang Ren smiled and said: "If I were more than ten years younger, I would pursue Miss Wenjun at all costs. Unfortunately, I am nearly forty and my age no longer allows me to do so. However, there is indeed a girl here who is of the same age as Miss Chu.

I just don’t know if Miss Chu is willing to regard this person as the bright moon!"

Chu Wenjun smiled and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Shang, who was ranked three yuan, to joke. Is Mr. Shang talking about Mr. Yang?"

Ah? Me? Yang Ding raised his head with some hesitation, as if he had just reacted.

Several people burst into laughter, as if they were laughing at Yang Ding for pretending to be stupid. Gongsun Yi asked at this time: "Brother Yang, since Brother Yang has settled in the capital, do you still plan to run Brother Yang's newspaper?"

Already?"

"This---?" Yang Ding said with some embarrassment for a moment: "How can I handle this newspaper matter without Brother Gongsun's help?"

"Master Yang, Mr. Gongsun, what is this newspaper about?" Shang Ren asked curiously at this time.

Gongsun Yi smiled and said: "Lord Shang, there happen to be two newspapers here. Lord Shang, you can take a look!"

So Gongsun Yi reached into his arms and took out the two newspapers that recorded "Qingfeng" and "Huabi". Yang Ding looked at Gongsun Yi in surprise. This Gongsun Yi came to him and brought two copies with him.

Newspaper, I don’t know if this is a coincidence or if I am prepared.

Shang Ren and Peng Shi each took the two newspapers and read them respectively. After a while, they changed the newspapers again. After they had finished reading the two newspapers, they couldn't help shaking their heads in praise. Shang Ren

He said: "Master Yang, are these two short stories written by Master Yang?"

Yang Dingdao: "These two stories are not my original work, but what I heard from a layman living in immortality when I was traveling. It seems that I just re-transcribed the story told by this layman living in immortality!"

"

Shang Ren thought for a while and asked, "I wonder how many stories like this there are, Mr. Yang?"

Yang Dingdao: "There are still one or two hundred articles!"

"What? There are so many? Okay! Okay! Okay!" Shang Ren said hello three times and actually burst out laughing.

"Master Shang, what are you---?" Yang Ding asked in confusion.

Shang Ren said: "If Mr. Yang still plans to publish this newspaper, I would be very interested in participating!"

"What? Sir Shang wants to participate?" Shang Ren's words were really beyond Yang Ding's expectation.

"Master Yang, Peng is also interested. I wonder if he can also join in?"

"Ah? Master Peng also wants to participate?" Yang Ding glanced at Peng Shi and asked.

"Mr. Yang, I wonder if Wenjun can also participate?"

"Mr. Yang, Jian Jian is also very interested. I wonder if Mr. Yang can also be counted as Jian Jian?"

Yang Ding opened his mouth and looked at everyone. He was overjoyed and said, "Have you guys thought about it? Opening a newspaper can be considered a business."

Shang Ren said: "I don't think this is a problem for Mr. Yang. There are many ministers in my court who have business, and the emperor turns a blind eye and is too lazy to care about these things. Mr. Yang only said

It’s up to you whether you want to or not.”

Yang Ding thought for a long time and said: "If these adults, Miss Jian Jian and Miss Wenjun want to join in, then this newspaper cannot do this."

"Oh? What do you think, Mr. Yang? Why don't you tell us today and let's listen together!"

Yang Dingdao: "The part of this short fantasy novel is still handled by me personally.

In addition to the sword, poems and songs are naturally indispensable. I plan to leave this aspect to Brother Gongsun, Miss Jian Jian and Miss Wenjun. As for Master Shang and Master Peng, they are the top two talents, so

---"

Shang Ren and Peng Shi looked at each other and smiled at the same time: "So what?"

Yang Dingdao: "If you two adults want to participate, I am going to open a column called the Five-Year Imperial Examination and Three-Year Simulation. This column will focus on teaching students who participate in the imperial examination how to answer questions and review, and also discuss the pros and cons of the imperial examination in depth. I hope you two adults will participate."

Able to teach by words and deeds, and develop the imperial examination into practical learning!"

"Ah!" Shang Ren and Peng Shi were shocked. Shang Ren asked, "Master Yang, do you want to open a new school? To become a generation of saints?"

Yang Ding smiled and said: "You two adults are so flattering to me. How can I establish another school of thought with this superficial writing? I just feel that it is just for the imperial examination. It is too restrictive in terms of content and form. Many of the subjects are not

Seeking practical knowledge, this is why the scholars of Ming Dynasty are too pedantic in their thinking. Of course,

These are national policies and we have no right to change them. However, the two adults can point out problems in this area through newspapers. I think as long as they are not too radical, one day the court will realize this problem and make improvements. Of course,

This process is long, it depends on whether you two adults have the patience!"

Shang Ren and Peng Shi lowered their heads and pondered. After a long time, they looked at each other and Shang Ren said: "Master Yang is really ambitious. Master Peng and I really misjudged you before. Yes, Master Yang is right.

The imperial examination is indeed too pedantic and rigid, but can Lord Yang really think that with this newspaper, the imperial court can reform the rules of official selection that have been left behind for thousands of years?"

Yang Dingdao: "To be honest, I don't think the imperial court will reform on the way to obtain officials, and I don't think I have the ability to influence the imperial court. The imperial examination is a good way to obtain scholars, but the disadvantages of the Eight-Part Part Article are equally obvious. It can be said that this

It is a cancer, but this cancer has not grown up yet. In short, it always needs someone to touch it before it grows. I think I am willing to be the first person. I wonder if the two adults are willing to be the first person?

"

Shang Ren sighed softly and said: "Master Yang's boat is very dangerous!"

Yang Ding said: "As long as the helm is good enough, there will be no danger. Who else in the Ming Dynasty is more suitable to be the helmsman than these two adults?"

Shang Ren said: "Perhaps Master Peng and I will not be able to change the status quo in our lifetimes!"

Yang Ding smiled and said: "The Foolish Old Man moved the mountain, and he has his own successors. What do Lord Shang and Lord Peng have to worry about?"

This time, Shang Ren and Peng Shi pondered for a long time at the same time. Finally, the two of them looked at each other. Shang Ren patted the table and said, "Okay, I will take over this responsibility!"

Yang Dingdao: "Master Shang doesn't need to be so decisive. This is a century-old plan. Master Shang must not rush forward. At the moment, Master Shang should do a good job in explaining the three-year simulation of the five-year imperial examination!"

"Master Yang, what is the three-year simulation of the five-year imperial examination?"

Yang Ding smiled mysteriously, and put the three-year simulation of the five-year college entrance examination into the three-year simulation of the five-year imperial examination. When several people heard that Yang Ding wanted Shang Ren to be the mock officer and question guesser of the imperial examination, they couldn't help but

He burst into laughter, and I wonder who else is more suitable to be the editor-in-chief than this Sanyuan graduate?

There was an editor-in-chief with a third grade and a deputy editor who was number one. Yang Ding seemed to have seen the scene of the sales of the analysis of test questions. He couldn't help laughing in his heart. Everyone admired Yang Ding's unconstrained thoughts.
