Cen Yan couldn't hide the matter of returning to the capital.

But he didn't want to hide it, after all, when he decided to come back, he had already prepared for the worst.

Now that Lin Zhao is not only Sanyuan Jidi, but also the son of Prince Rong, it is time to meet those old friends.

Old Prince Rong changed his mind when he was going out. After all, he was Guaisun's teacher, and now he has returned to the capital. If he was pointed at by others when he went out, Yu Guaisun's reputation would be damaged, so it is better to ask clearly.

He asked Jiang Ziyan: "You don't need to send me off, my lord thinks this sensual master looks like an old friend, let's talk."

Jiang Ziyan knew that Mr. Cen was the famous Confucian Mr. Huangyuan back then, so it was not surprising that Lord Rong knew him at all.

He nodded and dismissed the others, leaving them alone to talk.

Cen Yan, on the other hand, was very surprised to see the old prince Rong coming to look for him. He also knew that his closed disciple Lin Zhao turned out to be the young son of the Prince Rong's mansion who had been missing for many years, but he didn't expect that the prince Rong came to look for him in person today.

In the main hall of the West Wing, Han Yuxiu carried the children down, served them tea and then went down, leaving only Steward Chen to wait on her.

The old prince Rong picked up the teacup, flipped the tea leaves with the tea cover, took a sip of the tea, and said, "Xueye Biluochun, this is the best tea, and ordinary people can't drink it."

Cen Yan said: "Indeed, it was sent by that child Lin Zhao. He is a filial man, and he will send some good things over."

When the old prince Rong heard that Lin Zhao had filial piety, he still had some taste in his heart. He had never felt such filial piety from his grandson.

"Our Azhao is such a kind and good boy. Thanks to your guidance in the past few years, you have given him a lot of help in terms of knowledge. My lord is here to thank you."

"My lord, you are welcome. Accepting him as a disciple is not only for him, but also for myself."

"To be honest, I wasn't in the capital when your accident happened. I just heard about it after I came back. Are you prepared for coming back at this time?"

"It can be regarded as some preparations, but after all these years, I feel a little timid because of the closeness to my hometown."

The old prince Rong suddenly said: "Cen Xun, Mr. Ming Yuan in the past, can you answer a question for me?"

"My lord, please speak."

"My lord just wants to know if the incident back then was true? Rao, I was not in the capital at the time, and I never cared about what happened in the literary world, but I still heard many rumors that the great Confucianist Huang Yuan who has always been famous all over the world Sir, because he was jealous of his disciple's talent, he fraudulently used an article that did not belong to him."

This old incident was brought up, as if a new knife had been cut on the scar on Master Cen's heart, it was bloody, and his whole body was stinging.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was much clearer, calmed down, and an old voice sounded, "Of course it's not true, the old man was wronged back then."

The old prince Rong got the correct answer, but frowned, "If I remember correctly, you said that you used a disciple's article, and this disciple is Chu Huaiyu, the servant of Zhongshu, right?"

"Yes, it's him."

When Mr. Cen mentioned him, the grief and anger in his eyes melted into it.

This kind of emotion does not seem to be fake, the old prince Rong saw it clearly, and said again: "I remember that this Zhongshu servant is quite famous. He was also Sanyuan Jidi at the beginning, and he was quite famous."

Mr. Cen felt a little sad when he thought of those old events, and said: "Indeed, he is a talented person. But he has a wrong mind."

"The article back then was indeed written by the old man. Because the literary world was in its heyday at that time, everyone used literature to make friends. Although he is my disciple, I usually keep a low profile and control losses more strictly. He has never been famous.

Because I am eager to win, I saw that this "Chiyang Fu" is very well written, and it is very suitable for being in the limelight when discussing studies in the literary world.He simply wrote it silently on the spot, because this article instantly made him shine in the entire literary world. "

"Later, I learned about this and asked him to rectify that he did not write this article, and apologized to the world who was deceived by him. But at that time, he knelt down and cried and begged me, saying that if others found out, his It's over for a lifetime."

"It's also my fault that I was soft-hearted and agreed to him. I didn't expect him to climb the big tree of King Anyang. I have always been at odds with King Anyang, but he said in public that the article was written by him. It was written because I fell in love with his article and wanted to keep it for myself, so he had no choice but to make it clear."

Old Wang Ye Rong nodded, he understood why his reputation was so high, and then suddenly his reputation plummeted.

"Since then, I have been disheartened. In addition, the Holy Majesty was not in charge at the time, and the temple was in chaos. I kept my name and traveled all the way to study, and finally went to the remote Linzhou."

"In the eyes of the world, Chu Huaiyu is a modest gentleman. From what I heard from other people, he is almost perfect. But no one is perfect, such a perfect person must have secrets to hide."

Hearing the old prince Rong say that Chu Huaiyu is a modest gentleman, he said disdainfully, "What kind of modest gentleman is he? He's just a hypocrite. I hate that the old man was blind and picked up such a white-eyed wolf."

Chu Huaiyu was lonely and helpless since his parents died, but Cen Yan adopted him, taught him knowledge, and raised him up.But the inferiority complex and the ambition to climb up that have been in my bones since I was a child cannot be eliminated with time.

Even with the reputation of Mr. Xuan Yuan as his personal disciple, he is still not satisfied. This reputation can only make others look up to him, and it will not bring him any tangible benefits.

But it was different with King Anyang. After Mr. Cen's incident, his reputation in the capital became better, and almost everyone sympathized with him.

Later, even when he got the third grade, other people said that he was smart enough, studied hard enough, and he could do it without Mr. Xuanyuan teaching him.

It is a great shame and humiliation for a person who is a teacher to be slandered for stealing a student's article, but Chu Huaiyu knows him well enough that he is powerless to refute and cannot refute.

With King Anyang secretly manipulating, rumors spread wildly, and no one believed what Cen Yan said, so he had no choice but to leave this sad place.

Now King Anyang was killed because of his rebellion many years ago, and Chu Huaiyu was also implicated, but he was smart enough to put the other side in advance, escaped smoothly, and worshiped another chief minister under the name of the minister, and only then did he have the current Minister of Zhongshu status.

But now that the chief assistant minister has resigned, he made many enemies during his tenure, so Chu Huaiyu's life in the court is not easy today.

He even sent someone to look for Cen Yan in the past two years, trying to persuade him to go back. Why did he not want to do what he wanted, but it must be for his own good.

After hearing this, Old Prince Rong stood on Mrs. Cen's side. He didn't like to beat around the bush, so he said straightforwardly, "Then what are you going to do this time?"

"The old man knows that you are so concerned about this matter because of your grandson, but the prince does not need to intervene. This old man has made a decision in his heart. If you want to gain a foothold in this capital, you must clean up the past."

……

It has been an hour since the conversation between Mr. Cen and Lord Rong ended. Although Jiang Ziyan was curious, he didn't ask, but he also guessed a little bit.

Mrs. Cen has been living with him, and Cen Yan has become a very close elder in his heart these past few years.

After the old prince Rong left, Jiang Ziyan went to see Mrs. Cen, and said that if there is any need for help, just ask, and he will definitely not refuse.

So a few days later, an article called "Hou Chiyang Fu" suddenly circulated in the Beijing and Chinese circles.This name is easily reminiscent of the "Chiyang Fu" written a few years ago.

Some people compare them a little and find that the writing ideas and habits of these two articles seem to be written by the same person.

So that day, Chu Huaiyu went down to court and asked his colleagues who were familiar with him on weekdays: "Brother Chu, did you write another article? It's so good, why is it so mysterious? Let's talk about it together." Enjoy it! Why hide it like this."

Chu Huaiyu looked surprised and said, "What article?"

"Don't pretend, it has been spread in the circles of scholars recently, the style of the "Hou Chiyang Fu" is so similar to your previous "Chiyang Fu", it must be written by you, isn't it What shame, why did you hide it from us?"

After hearing this, Chu Huaiyu's heart was pounding, but on the face he still had to deal with it, he said: "Brother Zhang misunderstood, how dare I hide it, it's time to let you see a joke."

What he said was ambiguous, as if he admitted it, but also didn't seem to admit it. After Chu Huaiyu said this, he said goodbye to his colleagues.He has to go back quickly to find out what is going on, "Hou Chiyang Fu"... what is it?Could it be that someone imitated that "Red Yang Fu"?

But listening to what the colleague just said, it seems that no one has come out to recognize this article.

When he got home, he asked the people below to inquire and found out that Jingzhong had indeed recently published an article "Fu of Hou Chiyang", and he had read the content. In comparison, "Yang Fu" can be said to be better than blue.

The confidant at the side had followed him very early, and seeing his master's anxiety, he asked, "Master, who did you say wrote this article? Why is it so similar to that one?"

Chu Huaiyu's face was very ugly, he wanted to say that person's name but dared not say it.

Ever since Lin Zhao got the first prize, he knew that his former mentor was also coming.

He sent people to Linzhou to invite several times before, but they couldn't invite anyone.After hearing that he came to the capital this time, he made preparations in advance.He has even thought out the coping strategies for many hypothetical occurrences, and he is not afraid of being identified by Cen Yan again for what happened back then.

But I didn't expect Cen Yan to remain silent all this time, thinking that he was still so indifferent to world affairs and kept a low profile.

But he didn't expect the opponent to be caught off guard and make such a big move, which really caught him off guard.

The writing ideas of Hou Chiyang Fu and Chiyang Fu are exactly the same, but the content discussed in them is different, so it is hard to think that they are not written by the same person.

Chu Huaiyu is now in a dilemma, in the future someone will definitely ask him if he wrote the Hou Chiyang Fu.

If he recognized it, then the other party must have left a manuscript for this article as evidence, and he would no longer be able to steal the manuscript when the teacher let down his vigilance as he did back then.

This is undoubtedly a trap.

But if he doesn't admit it, then others will have doubts, and the old things will be brought up again to dig out the articles of the year, and the doubts are not from him.

Although he can also say that someone imitated his Chiyang Fu and wrote it, but if you look at the current "Hou Chiyang Fu", you can know from the content that this is not an imitation of Chiyang Fu, but the true feelings. Written with real feeling, there is even a sense of twilight desolation in it.

His argument is untenable.

Chu Huaiyu was very anxious, he was 90.00% sure that this article was written by his mentor.

But he guessed right, this article was indeed written by Cen Yan.

It's just that the state of mind is quite different from when he wrote the Chiyang Fu back then. With these years of tempering, his articles are more layered and more realistic.

If it weren't for these years of experience, he might not be able to write the current "Fu of Hou Chiyang".

All of a sudden, scholars in Beijing and China knew about this "Ode to Hou Chiyang". If you read it carefully every day, you can always find the difference in emotion contained in it, the great truth, and the difficulty in people's hearts.

Chu Huaiyu knew that the other party came prepared, so he didn't deny that the article was written by him, but he didn't admit it either, and his attitude was always vague.

This also made some people in Beijing speculate that this article was not written by Chu Huaiyu, because the twilight atmosphere in the article cannot be written by someone who has experienced ups and downs.

While they were still guessing who wrote the article, someone went to Rongwang's mansion as a guest, and learned from the conversation with the son of Rongwang's mansion that the person who wrote the "Ode to Hou Chiyang" turned out to be the son's teacher.

I asked Shi Zi's teacher again, but what I heard was the name whose reputation plummeted many years ago.

Mr. Ming Yuan.

The news was like a stone thrown into the water, setting off countless waves.

As soon as this Mr. Huangyuan is mentioned, one has to mention the incident that happened that year.

But now that the prince of the Rong Palace is doing his best to protect it, some people are a little shaken and start to question whether what happened back then is true or not.

Some people said, "The evidence of that incident back then has been conclusive. Mr. Huaiyu can produce the manuscript, which shows that the article was written by him. Mr. Ming Yuan is just jealous of his disciple's talent, so he wants to steal other people's articles. But no Thinking that people have manuscripts as evidence, that’s why they didn’t succeed.”

Some people also retorted: "I think there is something suspicious, and it doesn't mean that Mr. Yuan is knowledgeable and talented. Just reading the later "Hou Chiyang Fu" is more brilliant than the previous Chiyang Fu. Why should he steal it?" Disciple's article?

Besides, the son of the Rong Palace he taught was also a champion in the new discipline of three yuan, and he was younger than Chu Huaiyu, which is enough to show Mr. Mingyuan's talent.It is not impossible to say that Chu Huaiyu turned black and white on what happened back then. "

As if the scene from many years ago was re-enacted, rumors began to spread in Beijing, but most of the remarks were biased towards Cen Yan.

No matter how many excuses you say, it is not as easy to use as a brilliant article. Scholars regard themselves as talented writers, and they even admire people who can write articles.

However, there is also the handwriting of the old prince Rong, which is to promote the continuous fermentation of these remarks, and Chu Huaiyu, who is so depressed, has to come out to explain.
