The sound downstairs came suddenly and loudly. There was a precedent before. Now it echoed again. It was impossible not to be noticed. Of course, everyone upstairs was no exception.

But compared to Zhao Chang and Zhang Kun, who were full of surprise and confusion, Li Huai only smiled bitterly.

Of course he knew what these sounds meant. After all, the preparations he had made all along were still incomplete. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Isn't it possible that he is not the real protagonist, and he can't even put on a complete pretense? I haven't made it official yet.

It was interrupted midway through the beginning, which was too uncomfortable!”

"Why is there so much noise down there?" Zhao Chang became curious and called Zhao Min over, "Go and find out."

Zhang Kun said with a smile: "I want to know more about it. Great talents often come and go in this Yuyu Tower. It is the imperial examination period now, so maybe we can really see one or two talents."

Li Huai had no way to stop him, and it was not easy to stop him, otherwise there would be too many traces. There would just be commotion and cheering downstairs, people running back and forth, stepping on the floor, making lots of noise, which made him feel more and more anxious, but he still kept his expression on the surface.

As usual, continue.

"I'm not busy. Let's drink this glass first. It won't be too late to talk later." Zhao Chang raised his glass.

Li Huai had no choice but to follow Zhang Kun.

At this time, Zhao Min and others went downstairs and went upstairs. The stairs creaked. Li Huai knew that this was going to be a very critical moment——

"Your Majesty, someone downstairs wrote an article, which attracted many people to cheer."

Soon, Zhao Min came back to report and said the lines that Li Huai had long known.

"Oh?" Zhao Chang said with a smile, "What kind of article is it? Since I came across it, bring it up and let me have a look."

Hearing Zhao Chang say the expected lines, Li Huai couldn't help but become nervous.

This moment finally came.

When creating, in order to highlight Zheng Xingye's insights, Li Huai drew on Du Mu's "On Zhan" in the Tang Dynasty and Li Jifu's "Yuanhe Guojibo", which divided the feudal towns into four categories and then discussed the characteristics respectively.

to illustrate the pros and cons.

Although the title of the book "The Strongest Young Scholar and His Seven Wives" is outrageous, it still spent a little effort on setting the background, giving a court in an imaginary era a different setting.

Less setting and background.

"Calm down, calm down!" Thinking back to the setting, Li Huai tried to calm himself down, "Although I drew on ancient Chinese prose in the front of this book, my summary was not good. The content was thin and I only wrote a superficial sketch.

It’s not as good as what I’ve summarized this time! There’s no reason why this new version should be inferior to the old version!”

In the earliest serialization, although Li Huai wrote Zheng Xingye with great literary talent, due to the limitation of his level, his real talent and learning were limited, and most of them were used as foils by others. It was only in the middle period that he became more and more comfortable in writing, and then gradually completed it...

"In the final analysis, these people are still biased. The protagonist can do whatever he wants, but others are not welcome!"

"Isn't it because someone's writing skills are not good enough, and others are amazed when he writes blindly, but he has no point in his heart? It's a bad point."

Amid Li Huai's anxiety, the article was also sent over by a servant of the Duke's Mansion.

This was not an article that Zheng Xingye carried with him, but something he dictated and recorded by other good people.

Li Huai knew very well that according to the internal logic of the plot, the current situation was actually that the protagonist Zheng Xingye was enjoying his life, but suddenly he heard that the wife of the Wei family, whom he had a close relationship with when he was young, suddenly married a playboy, so he was heartbroken.

Unwilling to be reconciled, driven by anger and jealousy, he took out this proud work, hoping to show off on the spot and outshine that dandy - that is, Li Huai.

"Tsk, tsk, this writing style and parallelism are really amazing!"

Thinking in his mind, Li Huai also leaned over and took a few glances——

"...the troops of the six counties, numbering 300 million, bowed their heads and raised their heads, and did not move horizontally. They followed the Huaihe River to the north and south of the river, reaching the sea in the east and Luo in the west. They passed through thousands of miles of red land and captured everything.

Only then can you pay the fee!"

Zhao Chang and Zhang Kun looked at the article, slowly becoming absorbed in it, and finally recited it in a low voice.

Li Huai understood clearly that this part was talking about the vassal town being a heavy economic burden for the imperial court due to its huge military strength and huge military expenditures. Moreover, he knew very well that what this part of the text described was the Central Plains vassal town that he had just analyzed.

"Tsk, tsk, how shameless. Zheng Xingye is really copying Du Mu's words to enrich himself. I'm going to take a step ahead of him today. Even if I can't match his sentence, it will make his article pale in comparison. It can be regarded as a replacement."

God will do the right thing, so this person won’t deceive the world and steal his reputation!”

Thinking of this, Li Huai suddenly felt a surge of righteousness in his heart, and he shouldered the mission!

But even the system couldn't listen to these words: "...I have never seen such a shameless person, 2 flaws."

Li Huai didn't seem to hear it, and it didn't affect his sense of mission at all.

As the author, he certainly knows what the central idea of ​​Zheng Xingye's article is.

To put it bluntly, Zheng Xingye's article is also classifying the types of feudal towns, but the core is not to analyze the pros and cons of feudal towns, their essence, and their essential impact on the court and the frontier, but to discuss economic issues.

Simply focusing on the economy and treasury consumption has raised several major drawbacks and phenomena, but there are no effective solutions.

To put it simply, I know there is a problem, but I don’t know how to solve it.

"And the article was not deeply analyzed. It was just beautiful words and rhetoric. Otherwise, how could the people downstairs applaud it? But if I think about it carefully, there are still many things worth discussing. But this time I am different.

I have given some solutions, although they are not comprehensive, but..."

As he was thinking about it, Li Huai suddenly froze, and a smile froze on his face!

"No! Before I even mentioned the solution, I was interrupted by someone downstairs. Judging from the current situation, although my analysis is more comprehensive, I still haven't proposed a solution! This..."

Instantly, his thoughts fell into chaos!

On the other side, Zhao Chang and Zhang Kun looked at the article and seemed to appreciate it more and more, but as they looked at it, they tasted it differently.

Finally, Zhao Chang raised his head and looked at Li Huai, and said with a smile: "This article has similar views to yours, and is more about military expenditures..."

Li Huai suddenly became vigilant. He knew that it was consistent with his prediction, but he still couldn't help muttering in his heart. If he had time to pour out all the prepared remarks, it would be much better than this article. Unfortunately, things are too tight.

, I have no choice but to find an opportunity to continue escaping. If that doesn’t work, let’s jump in time!

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chang then said: "...It's just that compared to you, I still lack the firepower, and you are not as comprehensive as Xuan Qing."

Li Huai was stunned.

"That's true," Zhang Kun also nodded and said, "This article is rich in vocabulary and has quite powerful sentences. It is indeed good just to read the article. If you don't listen to Xuan Qing's words first, you will also feel that it is meaningful, but it is not

When compared with your true knowledge, it seems a bit superficial."

Li Huai was stunned again.

Zhao Chang pointed to a sentence in the article and said: "For example, here, this sentence talks about the Central Plains vassal towns and their burden on the central finance. It sounds good, but compared with your view, it seems narrow, and you have not seen the Central Plains at all.

The vassal town, under the mobilization of the imperial court, acts like an arm and a finger, and has an impact on the situation in the entire world!"

Li Huai nodded subconsciously, feeling in a daze.

"Yes," Zhang Kun nodded in agreement, then turned around and asked, "Who wrote this article?"

Zhao Min was well prepared and immediately gave the answer: "His name is Zheng Xingye, he is from Jiangnan, and he wants to participate in this examination."

"This article has something to say and is a talent," Zhao Chang said, smiling, "But after all, he lives in the south of the Yangtze River and doesn't know the wind and snow in the north. He doesn't see the general trend of the world clearly enough. He also mentioned in this article

Several places mentioned the northern barrier and financial self-sufficiency, which reduced the burden on the court, but failed to see the hidden dangers of separation between military and government! "

Li Huai finally came to his senses and said with a grin: "Everyone has his or her own merits. The article written by this kid is still good. It has some merits."

What's happening? Am I going to counterattack? I'm going to have a halo? Don't you first wonder why it's such a coincidence?

At this moment, Zhao Chang changed the topic: "However, it is a talent to have such a view. Since you have seen it, why don't you call me up."

Li Huai suddenly became vigilant again, but then he heard Zhao Chang change the topic again: "Xuan Qing, when someone comes, you can discuss with him and give him some advice."

What? Let me point out the protagonist?

Li Huai was stunned again, and then looked strange.

The author guides the protagonist, and it seems... there's nothing wrong with it!

He suddenly became energetic!
Chapter completed!
