Chapter 189 The Tenth Person
Wherever everyone's eyes saw a group of guards walking over surrounded by an official and an old man.
The official was Meng Jueran, the chief minister of Zhili Prefecture. He was second only to Zhili Prefecture in the entire Zhili Prefecture.
Even Zhili Prefecture attaches great importance to this Wenxing Society, so he directly sent such important personnel to coordinate the entire venue.
The old man with him was the director of Yangzhou Academy, Lian Ruhai.
After all, only such a truly talented scholar can evaluate the masterpieces of many talented men.
The two walked directly to a pavilion in Linhu, which was the center of the entire Slender West Lake, and could take care of the surroundings.
"All young men, Meng was entrusted by the Lord Zhili to host this literary star meeting. As we all know, there must be a saying of "Top Ten Cultural Stars" every year. This year, this is still the case!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around them started to discuss it.
"I don't know which ten stars are listed this year!"
"The Zhili Prefecture Association first drafted ten candidates, and any talented man present can compete on-site for talent learning if he is not convinced by anyone among them. This is also the climax of the Wenxing Association!"
"Hehe, what I like to watch the most is that many masters compete. People who don't have real talents and knowledge can't stay on the list of top ten literary stars!"
"Once you enter the top ten literary stars, you will inevitably be favored by many forces in the city. Even if you fail the provincial examination this year, you will be offered up for the next time!"
Amid the discussions of everyone, Li Fan also roughly understood.
The Zhili Prefecture Association selected ten people based on the reputation of many talented men in Yangzhou City as the original "Top Ten Literary Stars".
But, it's not certain that these ten people are just defenders.
Anyone who is not convinced by the candidates for Wenxing can only learn by competing on the spot.
The final ten literary stars will be favored by the city, and can even be called candidates for Jieyuan! Over the years, almost every Yangzhou Jieyuan has been produced within the top ten literary stars.
After this literary star meeting, the major families can also determine the seed players the easiest way, so as to submit them in advance to buy them.
Therefore, this is a rare opportunity for all young people.
Meng Jueran glanced around and saw the enthusiasm in the eyes of the young people around him. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay! Now, I will announce the list of the top ten literary stars!"
"The first person is Wang Tianteng, Yangzhou Academy! He published two poetry collections at a young age and published many articles. He was highly praised by Director Yang and others in Yangzhou Academy. He praised it as the 'Legend of Jie Yuan' in the city!"
He spoke loudly! In an instant, countless people in the audience were hotly discussed.
"It's him, this person is so amazing. It is said that almost every teacher who taught him is among the top three in the provincial examinations, including Jinshi!"
"Hey, it's natural that he is the first, who dares to question it?"
"It's so awesome..." Everyone spoke one after another, and their eyes were even more looking for Wang Tianteng.
In the pavilion on the rockery, Wang Tianteng smiled slightly, and a natural sense of superiority arose. He seemed to have not felt excited because he entered the first place in the Wenxing Club. He just stood up and said from afar: "Thank you for your kindness in Zhili Mansion. Tianteng is here. I look forward to discussing with many colleagues in the venue!"
Everyone looked over, and for a moment, all kinds of eyes such as envy and admiration gathered on him.
Even the embroidered boat in the middle of the lake, at this moment, many pretty women unveiled the curtains and quietly looked at the eldest son of the Wang family! Obviously, if possible, Wang Tianteng is definitely the best choice for those noble girls in the middle of the lake! Wang Tianteng smiled and looked at the table where Li Fan was intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, without any concealment! "The second person, Zhu Chongqi of the Zhu family, was free to read poetry, could write at the age of eight, and could poetry at the age of ten, and was once hailed as a magical power..." "The third person, Zhou Lingyun, a scholar of the scholarship of the Five Dynasties, and his family origins were popular in Yangzhou Academy..." "The fourth person, Lei Chaoquan..." "The fifth person..." One after another, it sparked a series of discussions! Every person's choice is heavyweight! Whether it is his background, his talent, or his reputation in Yangzhou City, his past is beyond reproach.
"Oh my God, these top ten literary stars are too strong, right?"
"Who dares to challenge?"
"It's really terrible. The first six people are all the prides of heaven in Yangzhou Academy. On weekdays, they are already known as the powerful competitors of Jie Yuan. No one will be blind this time!"
Everyone spoke one after another.
"Haha, Brother Wang, your talent and knowledge are among the top ten literary stars. Everyone in the world is convinced. Compared with you, some people are simply not worthy of carrying shoes for you!"
Qin Congyun smiled and kept looking at Li Fan.
Compared with Wang Tianteng, Li Fan is really worthless... "The seventh person, Tang Bohu, the head of Xin'an County Hall, the head of the case for the case for the trial..." "The eighth person, Huang Tingjian, the head of the case for the trial for the case for the trial for the case for the trial for the case for the trial for the case for the trial for the case of the case for the trial for the case of the Nanchuan County Hall, the head of Zheng Banqiao..." Meng Jueran spoke one by one, and finally, there was only the last person left! Who would be the tenth person?
Everyone was waiting, and the scene was quiet for a while! Meng Jueran felt the nervous atmosphere of everyone's expectation, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even stronger. He said word by word: "The tenth person in the top ten literary stars, Li Fan, the leader of the Donglin County case!"
Li Fan! As soon as he spoke, many people in the audience were shocked.
"Li Fan?
This name sounds familiar, but it is not that deep in my impression..." "Of course it is not profound. I have only heard of this person's name once in the article, and it is the article "Encouraging Learning"!"
"It seems reasonable to be this person. It is said that he got the pen given by me as a son himself!"
Everyone was talking about it! "Li Fan, an article "Encouraging Learning" is famous in Yangzhou. I deserve to be praised by my son today, so I ranked tenth!"
Meng Jueran continued to speak! The venue was filled with an uproar! "I really got the reward from the emperor!"
"That's a big wonder!"
"I just said it, it turned out to be him! A few days ago, it was rumored in the city that he had deceived Yu Sicheng's daughter to sleep. Later it was confirmed that he was the one who rescued Yu Yanran alone!"
All kinds of news about Li Fan have been hotly discussed! The emperor gave a pen! Save Yu Yanran! These two things were sensational in the city! Everyone was scanning the crowd and searching in the crowd. Even the top nine people, except Wang Tianteng, were paying attention! Because they were rewarded by the emperor, this was a huge honor. Although they were ranked before Li Fan, Li Fan's article was above them! Even Lian Ruhai, deputy director of Yangzhou Academy, couldn't help but look for this person named Li Fan! He was so impressed by this name. Although each of the top ten literary stars has extraordinary works, the article "Publicizing Learning" was really superior! In the eyes of ordinary people, Li Fan was only
There is an article that is much inferior to other talents who are almost "shouldered by works", but everyone knows deeply that Li Fan can be the only one who is alone in Yangzhou! Moreover, he and Yang Buchan went to find that Cao Gong a few days ago, and they smelled clues. Cao Gong may have some connection with Li Fan... So, he cannot be ignored! At this moment, Li Fan's heart was sank when he heard his name on the list! This is such a fool! - The entire Yangzhou state and Yangzhou Academy of Yangzhou County occupied six people! That's fine, but he ranked tenth! If the world wants to attack the arena, it will definitely start from the last one! Wouldn't he become the target of public criticism?
Even if he is unknown, he is better than the list of the top ten literary stars of Lao Shizi... It's a treacherous plan! Li Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but now that things have come to this, he can only get up and say, "Thank you for your love in Zhili Mansion. Li Fan feels guilty of it!"
