Confucian and Taoist scholar

"Hmph! What a Du Mingzhou, he actually used "Bamboo Stone" to tear apart our Jieying Society student Zi Wen Gong. Such a shame and humiliation, I will repay it a hundred times in the future."

"Brother Wang Run is the son of a magistrate. As long as he says a word, you can be ruined. I don't believe that you, a humble family, can compete with the rich and powerful."

"Du Ning, just wait, this matter is not over yet!"

Most of the scholars at Jieyingshe still refused to admit their mistakes and endured the headaches to carry Zhao Dongcheng away for treatment.

"Master Du, don't pay attention to them. They are the powerful people who have their own eyes on the top."

"You use "Bamboo and Stone" to prove yourself, and to support your ambitions and temper your heart and courage. We believe in your character."

"If someone slanders Brother Du in the future, I will definitely not join them."

The remaining scholars offered good advice.

"Thank you all."

Du Ning put away the manuscript of "Bamboo and Stone" and handed over to everyone: "Farewell."

After saying these words, Du Ning swaggered out of the Academy in full view of everyone.

At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Du Ning's back seemed to be like the long bamboo standing in the mountains, which remained upright despite the wind and rain.

The poem "Bamboo and Stone" also quickly began to spread in the academy.

Editing room.

"Mr. Dongfang, something big happened!"

Wan Hanlin said to Dongfang Xiong: "Just now in the liberal arts college, the students saw Du Ning writing a new poem in public, which caused Zhao Dongcheng's literary palace to crack."

"What!"

Dongfang Xiong and the other three were shocked when they heard this.

"What poem did he write? Read it to us quickly." Dongfang Xiong said.

"If you stick to the green mountains and don't let go, your roots will remain in the broken rocks."

"Still strong after countless hardships, no matter how strong the wind is from east to west, north or south."

"This poem is called "Bamboo and Stone", which was named by Du Ning after the bamboo forest and stones in the academy."

After Wan Hanlin finished speaking, the three editors also read it silently and savored it carefully.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three crisp sounds came, reaching straight to the soul.

"Mingzhou Liandan Poetry!"

The three editors were shocked. After reciting "Bamboo and Stone", their literary courage was tempered, and the boredom caused by years of reviewing manuscripts disappeared.

The effect of Liandan poems is far better than that of ordinary poems.

This is not only beneficial to individuals, but also beneficial to the entire human race of scholars.

Because "Bamboo and Stone" has been widely circulated, it can be used by scholars to sharpen their hearts and courage and strengthen their minds.

"Zhao Dongcheng wrote "Children's Arrogance" in "Nanping Wenbao" to slander Du Ning's literary name. Du Ning used "Bamboo and Stone" to prove it, and in an instant he developed the power of literary courage to fight back. Zhao Dongcheng is a scholar without literary courage, so he

If the Wen Palace is damaged, it’s your own fault!”

"The article "Tongsheng Arrogance" is full of slander and slander. If it weren't for the face of the prefect... ahem... the person from Jieyingshe, let alone the publication of "Nanping Wenbao", even the editor of the repair house

Don’t even think about entering!"

""Bamboo Stone" can sharpen your mind and temper your courage. You can apply for publication in "Suzhou Wenbao". If Du Ning becomes famous, it can even be included in "Yunjing Wenbao" and become famous throughout the country."

Wan Hanlin was extremely shocked when he heard the discussion between the three editors.

It's really amazing that a top-notch student was so favored by three editors.

"Not good!"

Dongfang Xiong's expression suddenly changed, "Du Ning is a student from a poor family and has low power. If he uses "Bamboo Stone" to split Zhao Dongcheng's literary palace, he will definitely offend the powerful. The manuscript of that poem can temper one's mind and courage. As long as you hold the Mingzhou Courage Refining Poetry in your hand,

, can form an instant of literary boldness, and the refining of courageous poems has a miraculous effect on great scholars like us. This thing is definitely a hot potato in Du Ning's hands, and I am afraid it will harm him!"

"We have finally managed to produce a great talent in Nanping Mansion. We must not be framed by bad people. Mr. Dongfang, what should we do?"

Others looked nervous.

"Wang Run is the leader of Jieying Society. If something happens to Zhao Dongcheng, he will not stand by and watch. What if he uses the power of the yamen to arrest Du Ning and question him?" Wan Hanlin said worriedly.

"Absurd!"

Dongfang Xiong said: "In the literary world, there is a dispute over literary reputation. Zhao Dongcheng wrote an article to slander Du Ning's literary reputation. Du Ning counterattacked with Mingzhou Liandan's poems to prove himself. This is a legitimate defense method for scholars. If the Yamen dares to cross the moral bottom line

If you take action, I, Dongfang Xiong, will dare to join the imperial court and take off the prefect's hat."

Everyone was shocked, but they also felt proud.

This is the character that a bachelor should have!

"This matter is not trivial and must be reported to the Suzhou Academy of Literature. The three of us and the three of us jointly petitioned the Suzhou Academy of Arts and Sciences. The Suzhou Academy of Arts and Sciences will definitely take it seriously."

Dongfang Xiong said slowly: "Lao Wan, please immediately send someone in plainclothes to patrol. Zhao Dongcheng comes from a prominent family in Nanping Mansion. Even if the Yamen does not come forward, his family will make things difficult for Du Ning."

"Don't worry, sir, I will protect you secretly and never let anyone hurt Du Ning."

Wan Hanlin finished speaking and hurried out of the door.

…………

In a certain literary building in Nanping Mansion, there is a plaque with the three characters "Jie Yingshe" hanging on it.

In Jieying Society, many children of powerful people gathered together to exchange poems and articles, or discuss topics based on the contents of "Nanping Wenbao".

"Brother Wang Run! Something happened! Something happened!"

A group of scholars swarmed in, all of them extremely sad and angry.

Wang Run looked at these people with a look of displeasure on his face.

"How dignified!"

Wang Run held the wine glass and shouted coldly: "What a big deal, why are you so panicked?"

"Today in the literary academy, Du Ning's new poem Mingzhou Liandan tore apart Zhao Dongcheng's literary palace with the power of literary courage in an instant!"

"In the more than 100 years since Jieyingshe was founded, we have produced many literary leaders and pillars of the imperial court. How has it ever happened that a scholar was torn apart from the literary palace?"

"What a shame! What a shame! What a shame! Our Jieying Society, which has had a good reputation for hundreds of years, has suffered such a disgrace!"

Many readers roared angrily. This morning, everyone was still praising "Children's Arrogance" for its excellent writing.

Now the news came that Zhao Dongcheng was torn apart from the Wen Palace. It was like an invisible slap slapped hard on their faces.

"Du Ning, as a student from a poor family, would never dare to go directly to trouble Zhao Dongcheng. What's going on?" Wang Run asked.

Those scholars told the whole story, not daring to hide anything.

He even recited "Bamboo and Stone" written by Du Ning.

After hearing this, everyone admired Du Ning's literary talents, but they still hated Du Ning.

With a "bang", Wang Run crushed the wine glass and blood flowed out, but he didn't seem to feel any pain.

Everyone was shocked. No one dared to speak or even go up to bandage him.

"Du Ning composed three Mingzhou poems yesterday, and Zhao Dongcheng actually dared to take the lead in provocation and forced Du Ning to write poems to prove himself. Not only did "Child's Arrogance" fail to suppress Du Ning's literary reputation, but it made me a hero.

She owed the Academy of Arts a favor in vain and received no benefit at all."

"Zhao Dongcheng is the main author of "Children's Arrogance". As long as he avoids Du Ning these days, the scolding from Nanping Mansion will make Du Ning unable to lift his head. It's better now. Du Ning has a meritorious service with a poem about the state of courage.

The human race will definitely cause shock in the literary world."

"It's in vain that you are also students of the Jieying Society. You don't understand the overall situation and don't know how to advance or retreat. You actually didn't stop Zhao Dongcheng and Du Ning from fighting each other. You idiots! You are simply idiots!"

Those scholars quickly lowered their heads and regretted it.

If Zhao Dongcheng had not challenged Du Ning head-on today, it would have been absolutely impossible for Du Ning to write a Mingzhou Dandan poem to prove himself.

Although the main author of "Children's Arrogance" is Zhao Dongcheng, it is published under the name of Jieyingshe.

Therefore, if Du Ning's literary reputation becomes more and more popular, it will have a greater impact on Jieyingshe's reputation.

"Brother Wang Run, Brother Dongcheng was torn apart by Du Ning. We must come back with revenge." Someone said viciously.

"Retaliation? How to retaliate? Mobilize the power of the Yamen to arrest Du Ning?"

Wang Run sneered and said: "You are stupid, but I, Wang Run, am not stupid. Du Ning is fighting back with the legitimate means of a scholar. Even if the lawsuit goes to the Jinluan Palace, we have no reason. It is true that I am the son of the prefect, but if

If you use power for personal gain, my father will not be able to keep his hat."

Everyone looked extremely ugly.

Wang Run suddenly came up with a plan. He took out a towel and wiped the blood on his hands. He smiled at everyone and said, "I have a way to act as an intermediary in the name of the leader of Jieying Society and invite Du Ning and Zhao Dongcheng to a banquet."

Went to the Wangjiang Tower for a banquet to apologize to Du Ning on behalf of Jieying Society in order to resolve the dispute over the title of the novel."

Many people were furious. Jieyingshe apologized to the students of Hanyishe. It was a great shame and humiliation for them, and they could not accept it no matter what.

But having said that, if Jieyingshe doesn't apologize to Du Ning, Du Ning's "Bamboo Stone" will be quickly published in "Nanping Wenbao". By then, all the poor students in Nanping Prefecture will expand the matter infinitely, and then

Cause greater reputational damage to Jieyingshe.

"Brother Wang, no, we are all powerful people. How in the world can a powerful person apologize to a humble family? It's really ridiculous!" someone retorted.

Wang Run said slowly: "I know you are dissatisfied, but having said that, Du Ning's "Bamboo and Stone" is indeed well written. It can temper the minds and courage of scholars, so it should be donated to the imperial court."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized that this was a Hongmen Banquet.

"Bamboo and Stone" can sharpen one's mind and refine one's courage, and is of great use to scholars. Holding the manuscript in hand can even create the power of instant literary courage. If this thing is left with Du Ning, it will not be of any benefit to Jieying Society.

If Du Ning donated "Bamboo and Stone" to the court, Wang Run would have many ways to benefit from it.

If Du Ning refuses to hand over "Bamboo and Stone", everyone can point their fingers at him and scold Du Ning for being a scholar, not a human being, and selfish.

This kind of title attack has a greater impact than "Tong Sheng Arrogance".

"Brother Wang Run is really a great person. Du Ning tore Zhao Dongcheng Wen Palace apart, but you came out to apologize and turned the hostility into friendship. This kind of magnanimity is really a role model for our generation of scholars." Someone said with admiration.

"The reason why our Jieying Society is called Jieying Society is because we are all children of powerful people. We want to share the worries of the court and benefit the people of the world."

"Well said! We students of Jieying Society should be broad-minded and should not worry about trivial matters."

"Brother Wang Run has a lot of great talents, and he is indeed a gentleman."

Everyone laughed.
