Chen Zhi talked with Emperor Liu Dai in the palace. When he was explaining, news about his summoned into the palace quickly spread in Luoyang City, bringing more confusion in thinking.

"Chen Zhi was summoned to the palace? Why did the emperor call him into the palace at this time?"

As the powerful Shangshu Zuo Cheng, Zhang Ying was one of the officials who received the news earlier, but the news made him feel extremely confused. He immediately summoned Wang Bu over and asked in a slight manner: "You have already said that things are foolproof, will Chen Zhi be in trouble?"

Wang Bu's face was not good, and he also received the news and couldn't help but say, "My benefactor, the student did not lie to you. You know the situation. The Xu family was interested in causing trouble for Chen Zhi to restore Xu Ji's position. The students cooperated with them. The connections between the two sides brought many academies to come to him, just to force Chen Zhi to mess up. The result is the same. I really don't know why the emperor summoned Chen Zhi."

"You said lightly!" Zhang Ying's face looked ugly, "This is not his own business. How Chen Zhi does in Taile Administration is all a trivial matter, but just an excuse. My real intention is to take his business as an opportunity to seize Chen Yong's painful foot and force him to cooperate with my Zhang family on Ma Zheng. Now that the connections and relationships have been notified, the benefits that should be given are also given. If Chen Zhi is alone and there is a change in the whole matter, who will be responsible for this loss? Are you here to make up for me?"

A cold sweat broke out on Wang Bu's forehead and he hurriedly said, "My benefactor, don't worry. In my opinion, even if the emperor is biased, the matter of the academy involves many big clans, and the emperor cannot make a decision in one sentence."

"Go quickly to make sure!" Zhang Ying narrowed his eyes, "The emperor cannot make a decision, but with him coming forward, we cannot take action on many things. It is hard to say whether Chen Zhi can achieve success. Many people are not optimistic about him, but everything must be planned for the worst. The reason why I dare to contact all parties and promise benefits when the situation is unclear is that no matter how I ignore the situation, I can turn the situation around through my connections and develop in the direction I hoped. However, the prince agreed to Chen Zhi's invitation, which had already disrupted the plan. If the emperor also got involved, how could I intervene?"

His words meant that, no matter whether Chen Zhi could do what he said or not, he could eradicate the disputes in the academy and make this matter an opportunity with the intervention of the powerful forces of the Zhang family. However, as soon as the emperor spoke, he would have to win.

Wang Bu did not defend himself and nodded, "Don't worry, benefactor, I will go to the Xu family now and discuss with them. After all, the Xu family is coming forward now, and we will help you. I believe that with the strength of our two families, it is enough for the remaining everyone to no longer accept Chen Zhi's invitation."

"Well, indeed, although the situation has changed, Chen Zhi's momentum must not be allowed to rise again. It must be eliminated from the source." Zhang Ying nodded, suddenly thought of something, then narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Chen Zhi is definitely not satisfied with inviting everyone to articles. Judging from what he said at the Taile Administration, his purpose must be more than one, including music, calligraphy, and even painting skills. I am afraid that everyone will invite him next. Since that is the case, then I have to cut off his thoughts in advance!"

"I understand!" Wang Bu nodded, "Before he really takes action, let's settle all these things for everyone, so that Chen Zhi can't invite him!"

"That's the reason! Go, go, don't let me down again this time," Zhang Ying waved his hand, sent Wang Bu away, and then pondered for a moment, and attracted another person, which was his manager. "You go to the Yu family and send Yu Liang an invitation to come and taste tea tomorrow, and I will say that I have new precious and good tea."

"promise!"

"Brother Chen, I heard that the emperor still keeps you in the air for dinner? This is a great favor. Many ministers have made great contributions, or have sufficient qualifications and age to win this honor."

Late at night, Chen Zhicai came back from the palace and was amazed by Tao Ya and others. At this time, they had already fallen asleep, but today they were worried, so they were all waiting in the yard.

"Brother Tao, Brother Chen has made great contributions when you say this!" Before Chen Zhi could speak, Liu Gang was a little unhappy, "The death of Liu Yuan is inseparable from Brother Chen! It is his great contribution!"

Tao Ya smiled and said, "It's the extreme, it's the extreme, it's me that I've lost my words."

"We have to say no to these polite words," Chen Zhi laughed, "The death of Liu Yuan is just a coincidence and is not a merit. If it weren't for the wrong situation in the court, how could it be considered to be on my head? If outsiders don't know anything, there are many wrong propaganda, that's fine. Why do you say this so much, it's a bit unfair."

"Hahaha!" Zhao Xingze laughed and said, "Anyway, this is a good thing, a happy event. We have prepared the wine and food, and we are waiting for Brother Chen to come back and have fun."

"It's this time, there's a banquet." Chen Zhi laughed, without saying anything late at night, nor did he mention that he had eaten in the palace, and immediately responded.

The group of people immediately sat up, drank happily, ate and drank, and asked about the things in the palace, as well as what Chen Zhi and the emperor talked about.

Chen Zhi did not hide it, so he roughly explained the matter. However, the book he used to explain had been left by Emperor Liu Dai. He looked through it repeatedly, as if he was looking at a treasure. Now he could only explain it out of thin air to a few close friends. Fortunately, Chen Zhi was well organized, and Tao Ya and others were all intelligent people. He soon heard the key point. Although he didn't understand it very much in many places, he also vaguely noticed the convenience.

"If it is true as Brother Chen said, once this golden song review is established, the musical method can be compared. But in this way, will those defeated academies be willing?" Liu Gang raised his own question.

Chen Zhize said: "This involves a cycle, because the matter of this temporary name Golden Melody Review is not just held once. Every time it is held, it is actually a competition, which directly concentrates the disputes on weekdays and breaks out."

"So that's it, so that's it, I understand." Lu Ying's eyes lit up. "In this way, the dispute has not disappeared, but has been controlled and restrained. Moreover, because of the participation and evaluation by many authoritative people, the evaluations received are undoubtedly very representative, and no one will raise objections on the spot. Even if someone is dissatisfied, because he knows that there is still a review, he will devote his energy and whole work to his usual practice and wait for the next opportunity."

"This is a good thing," Zhao Xing nodded and smiled. "Even if you don't consider this argument from the perspective of this dispute, just say this review, letting many people come forward to review it. This is not easy in the past. Many people are looking for the original Yuedan review. After all, everyone's reviews are hard to come by. In comparison, with such an opportunity, for those academy students, it is sometimes more meaningful than the ranking itself to be able to receive reviews from famous scholars."

"But..." Tao Ya asked, "If you want to accomplish what Brother Chen said, it is probably not enough to have the support of the emperor. After all, the emperor cannot force the famous scholars to come and evaluate. If Brother Chen's affairs are completed, it undoubtedly requires the participation of many famous scholars. Although three of them have been invited now, it is only about articles. If these other famous scholars want to invite them, there will be some twists and turns."

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "It's not a simple matter, but there is no need to worry, because participating in the evaluation also has many benefits for celebrities. This is also the reason why I have agreed to make a decision and the two academies of Nanshan. I believe that after seeing the evaluation, there will be knowledgeable people who understand that this is not me asking them for business, but giving them a chance."

"Opportunity? What opportunity?"

"A chance to make their reputation go to a higher level!" Chen Zhi looked at the person in front of him and said slowly, then changed his subject, "Okay, let's drink it today until now. There is still one day before the agreed time. I will invite a few more people tomorrow and see if the Taile Administration has already arranged it."

"Okay, tomorrow is also the critical time, so I won't disturb you." Tao Ya and others took the opportunity to leave, "Brother Chen, I don't know how many people in this city are staring here."

"Of course, they can't be disappointed."

With this idea in mind, Chen Zhi and Liu Gang continued to invite everyone to Wen Zhang early the next morning. The first person to visit was Luo Xun, who had visited once before.

"I have already thought about it, so I won't participate in this matter. I believe it's enough if the prince comes forward."

Luo Xun is not young, about fifty years old. He has exquisite decorations in his residence in the city. There are water and pavilions in the garden. When he meets Chen Zhi and the others, he is in the pavilion.

However, this person's reply shocked Liu Gang. After hearing this, he couldn't help asking: "Master Luo, did you say that you would give us a satisfactory answer before? Why did you change your mind now?" Before, Liu Gang also accompanied Chen Zhi and heard that Luo Xun was quite moved at the time. The so-called consideration was just a formal refusal to show his identity. Therefore, Chen Zhi and the others came to him the first time today.

Unexpectedly, this person's attitude suddenly changed drastically.

Luo Xun was not angry after hearing this, but instead smiled and said, "Liu Sheng, I said I had considered it before, so naturally I made a decision after weighing the pros and cons. How can the decision I made after weighing the pros and cons? What you said is wrong."

"But..." Liu Gang was still waiting for another sentence, but saw Chen Zhi reaching out to stop.

After stopping his friend's words, Chen Zhi stood up and smiled and said, "Since Mr. Luo has made a decision, we will naturally not force us to ask for it, but I want to explain some things to Mr. Luo."

"Oh? But it's okay to say it." Luo Xun smiled lightly, looking at Chen Zhi, not caring. He actually made a move to break his promise, but he had already agreed with the Xu family and did not take Chen Zhi seriously at all.

Chen Zhi naturally understood the reason behind this and said, "I hope Mr. Luo, don't regret it because of today's choice!"
