Chapter 281: Deceiving the World and Stealing Fame (Third Update, Please Vote)
"Returning to the prince, I just got a collection of poems not long ago, which also contains the two poems written by Mr. Fan, but the author of those two poems is not Mr. Fan."
As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, the crowd around him exploded.
After all, in the circle of literati, stealing other people's poems and articles to enhance one's own reputation is one of the most despicable things.
"Wen He, don't talk nonsense about this. Do you have any evidence?"
Hearing this, Jia Xu quickly took out a book from his arms and handed it to Xiao Feng: "Your Majesty, this is the collection of poems that I got."
Everyone subconsciously looked at the book in Jia Xu's hand, and saw a line of large characters written on it: "Three Hundred Selected Tang Poems and Song Ci".
"Your Majesty, please take a look at the poem that Mr. Fan wrote when he was ten years old. It was originally called "Looking at Dongting Lake and Presenting it to Prime Minister Zhang". The author's name is Meng Haoran. The word "Bosha Yueyang City" in it was changed to "Bosha Danzhou City".
Halfway through his words, Jia Xu quickly turned over a few pages and said, "The poem Mr. Fan just wrote was originally called "Ascend the High". The author's name is Du Fu, and the content has not been changed a word."
"I knew those two poems just now were definitely not written by that guy."
When Guo Baokun saw this, he couldn't help but said excitedly: "How could such a vulgar person write such a poem?"
"An illegitimate child is an illegitimate child, and he really cannot be put on the stage!"
"I didn't expect this person to be a sanctimonious person. He is so shameless!"
"We, the scholars, are ashamed to be with this person..."
How much those people admired Fan Xian just now, now they feel how much they hate him.
As expected, he lives up to his name, he is so annoying!
"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you!"
Guo Baokun suddenly saluted Xiao Feng, pointed to the collection of poems in Jia Xu's hand and said: "The poems in this book are really well written. Please allow me to copy them and spread them throughout the world. Let’s prevent anyone from doing this kind of thing to deceive the world and steal our reputation.”
"That's very good."
After getting Xiao Feng's permission, Jia Xu also handed the book in his hand to Guo Baokun.
Soon, the conversation between Xiao Feng and the others reached the female family members on the other side of the lake.
After learning that the two poems written by Fan Xian were actually copied from others, the female relatives began to despise Fan Xian and even accidentally hurt Fan Ruoruo.
You must know that Fan Ruoruo is a famous talented girl in Kyoto, a typical "child of other people". Many ladies present have been compared with her by their family members.
Therefore, many ladies of the house are a little jealous of Fan Ruoruo. Now that they finally see her deflated, they naturally don't mind adding insult to injury.
Although Fan Ruoruo didn't believe that Fan Xian would copy other people's poems, she didn't know how to defend herself?
If the poem Fan Xian composed when he was ten years old might have been obtained by someone else and copied into that poetry collection, then the poem "Ascending" he just composed cannot be someone else's foretell. , transcribed it in advance, right?
With the end of the poetry meeting at Jingjun Prince's Mansion, Fan Xian's name also resounded throughout Kyoto, but he was notorious for deceiving the world and stealing his reputation!
"Brother, were those two poems you wrote before really copied?"
After Fan Ruoruo returned to Fan's Mansion, he couldn't help but pulled Fan Xian's sleeve and asked, and defended with a face full of disbelief: "I don't believe what they said, you obviously even wrote a masterpiece like "The Story of the Stone" Come on, how could you copy someone else’s poem?”
Looking at Fan Ruoruo's stubborn expression, a touch of emotion flashed in Fan Xian's eyes, and then he sighed helplessly and said: "Ruoruo, didn't I tell you a long time ago? I didn't write the Stone Chronicles. , it was written by Mr. Cao, and those two poems were indeed copied by me.”
Originally Fan Xian didn't want to admit that he had copied poems, but when he heard the names Meng Haoran and Du Fu, he knew that he couldn't hide the fact that he had copied poems.
Since that Jia Xu can even produce a collection of Tang poetry and Song lyrics, there must be a high probability that he is also a time traveler.
In fact, Fan Xian should have thought long ago that his mother Ye Qingmei and himself are both time travellers, so it is normal for other time travelers to appear in this world.
"Bang!"
Hearing Fan Xian's personal admission that he copied poems, Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but show a painful expression, feeling that the perfect brother image in her heart was shattered.
Although Fan Ruoruo still listens to Fan Xian's words, she won't worship him as mindlessly as before.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is also a good thing!"
Fan Xian smiled and waved his hand and said: "My reputation is so bad now. The eldest princess and Prime Minister Lin will definitely not be willing to marry their daughter to me again. This is just the right time for Your Majesty to withdraw the marriage. Anyway, I don't want to marry a I have never seen a woman as my wife.”
"..."
Seeing Fan Xian's unconcerned look, Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but be speechless.
Fortunately, Fan Ruoruo was worried just now that Fan Xian would not be able to bear such a blow and could not help but do something stupid?
After comforting Fan Ruoruo, Fan Xian left Fan Mansion directly and rushed towards Liujing River.
Because the disappearance of Fujiko Kyo's wife and children was closely related to Guo Baokun, Fan Xian had planned to find an opportunity to torture him and force him to find out the whereabouts of Fujiko Kyo's wife and children.
Moreover, the scandal of Fan Xian's copying of poems could spread throughout Kyoto in half a day, and it was inseparable from the contribution of Guo Baokun and others. It just happened that tonight the old and new grudges were settled together.
Since Si Lili had become the concubine of King Xiaoyao, Fan Xian did not dare to provoke her, but chose to let Yuan Meng act as his witness.
Although Yuan Meng was not as good as Si Lili, the courtesan, she was also a very popular courtesan on Liujing River, and was more than qualified to be a witness for Fan Xian.
…
"Dong Dong Dong..."
It was just dawn outside, and a burst of rapid drumbeats suddenly sounded, forcibly waking up Mei Zhili, the prefect of Kyoto, who was still sleeping.
Mei Zhili cursed in his heart, "Where did this unruly citizen come from, and dared to disturb my rest."
However, due to the rules of the court, Mei Zhili still resisted the sleepiness, got up, washed up, and went to court.
! ! !
When Mei Zhili took the petition handed over by the master and saw the names of the plaintiff and the defendant on it, he was immediately frightened and woke up.
The prefect of Jingdu can be said to be the most difficult official in Qing State. There are too many powerful people in Jingdu, and many of them are not worthy of his wrath.
For example, the plaintiff of this petition, Guo Baokun, is not only a compiler in the palace, but also the only son of Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites, while the defendant is Fan Xian, the son of Fan Jian, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
