Confucian and Taoist scholar

"Brother Ge Yuan."

Wu bowed his hand to the Juren headed by Wen Chao.

Ge Yuan nodded slightly to Wu Xiangwen, then looked at Du Ning and said slowly: "Are you Suzhou Du Ning?"

"That's right."

Du Ning was neither humble nor arrogant, and asked: "Who are you?"

"I am a student of the Xianwen Society from the famous Ge family in the capital. I was invited by the Guoxue Palace to participate in the Academy Competition."

Ge Yuan's face was full of pride, he was very proud of his status as a child of a famous family, and he didn't even take Du Ning seriously.

"It turns out it's Mr. Ge. I'm sorry." Du Ning politely held his hand.

"Du Ning, you are so brave. You dare to openly insult the Eight Wise Kings. You really deserve death!"

"Who do you think you are? Can you insult the wise king? You have no shame!"

"In broad daylight, with the world clear, how dare you, a crazy person, to speak so wildly and so arrogantly!"

The Juren students who were traveling with Ge Yuan shouted angrily, with such momentum that they wanted to scold Du Ning to death.

Du Ning took out his ears and flicked them to the side, as if to drive away the flies around him.

This move made the people on the other side very angry.

This is simply not taking them seriously.

No, this is simply contempt for them and looking down on them.

As members of Xianwen Club, they usually look down on others. How have you ever been looked down upon by others?

This is a disgrace! What a disgrace!

Ge Yuan was angry, but Du Ning didn't say anything directly, and it was hard for him to express his anger, so he could only hold it back.

"What do you think Mr. Ge has to say?"

Du Ning looked at Ge Yuan, his tone was very calm and calm.

"You insulted the Xian King in public, please give an explanation to our Xianwen Society."

Ge Yuan spoke slowly, and his words had an unquestionable commanding tone, as if he was ordering Du Ning.

"Which sentence below insults the wise king?" Du Ning asked.

Ge Yuan immediately said: "It's ridiculous, Mr. Du actually dares to do something improper. Didn't you just say that the Eight Wise Kings have no imperial backbone? I heard that sentence with my own ears, do you still want to default on it?"

"Isn't it?"

Du Ning rolled his eyes at Ge Yuan, he could see that these people might be deliberately looking for trouble.

People who support the wise king are all over the Yun Kingdom. Now the Guoxue Palace has summoned the elites from all over the Yun Kingdom to come for a competition. It does not feel strange at all to see such people.

He had a bad impression of King Xian, and when he was taking the imperial examination, King Xian secretly sent an inspector from the Guoxue Palace to ruin his imperial examination.

With such behavior, where is the backbone of an emperor?

If you say that a wise king has the backbone of an emperor, it is simply the biggest insult to "the backbone of an emperor".

Although he was born into an imperial family, he did everything he could to achieve the throne one day.

With such virtue, does a wise king deserve to claim to have the backbone of an emperor?

Du Ning felt that he was just telling the truth and could not be called an insult to the wise king.

Having said that, Du Ning's attitude towards the Xian King also stunned the students of Xianwen Club.

They underestimated Du Ning's courage and courage.

Ge Yuan froze on the spot with an unbelievable look in his eyes. He couldn't believe that Du Ning dared to say such words to him.

"Kangsheng! You are simply a Kuangsheng who knows nothing about the world!"

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! You are so presumptuous!"

"Du Ning, you are too arrogant!"

The students of the Xianwen Society were furious. They didn't expect that Du Ning would not take the Xianwang into consideration so much, and would criticize the Xianwang in public for not having the backbone of an emperor.

This is simply saying that the wise king does not have the majesty of the emperor and is not worthy of being the true dragon emperor of the Yun Kingdom.

Du Ning is saying that Emperor Hongxuan is more suitable to be a king than the wise king.

However, such words are undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation for the students of Xianwen Society.

The nearby Guoxue Palace students snickered secretly, and some quietly gave Du Ning a thumbs up.

These people from the Xian Wen Society usually preached about the wisdom of the virtuous king, but now they were met with a wall by Du Ning, which was a relief.

Wu Xiangwen said in a deep voice: "Du Ning, this is the Palace of Chinese Studies. You'd better apologize for your stupid behavior, otherwise you will be an enemy of our Xianwen Society."

Du Ning pretended to be frightened and said: "Oh my, your Xianwen Club is such a big show. It really scared me to death. I don't dare to offend your Xianwen Club. You are so powerful, why don't you go to the battlefield?"

You kill the enemy to serve your country, but here you bully a poor student like me?

The people of Xianwen Club were instantly stunned.

"You..."

Wu Xiangwen's face turned blue and white.

Ge Yuan was so furious that he was speechless.

Du Ning's words are simply scolding Xian Wenshe for pretending to be powerful. At this time, he just doesn't share the worries of the court. He actually wants to bully Du Ning based on his reputation as a good king. If this matter gets out, the good king will

The title of the novel will definitely be affected to a certain extent.

Wu Xiangwen's hands were trembling a little. He had unintentionally damaged the reputation of the Xian Wang, and the Xian Wang would definitely not reuse him.

"Idiot!"

Ge Yuan shouted angrily, not knowing whether he was scolding Du Ning or Wu Xiangwen.

Then, Ge Yuan said to Du Ning: "I don't care whether what you said is right or wrong. As a student of Xian Wen Society, I will never tolerate you insulting the Eight Sages. I now officially challenge you to a literary fight. You

There is a literary fight between us, do you dare to challenge?"

"I have to prepare for the Chinese Academy of Sciences Competition, so I don't have time."

Du Ning refused verbally, and the other party initiated a literary fight with him. It was most likely that he wanted to test his own strength and be prepared for the Academy Competition.

In the Academy Competition, these scholars from the Xianwen Club will definitely try their best to target themselves.

If Du Ning loses to Ge Yuan, Ge Yuan will definitely attack Du Ning's literary reputation and influence Du Ning's participation in the Academy Competition.

As a result, it will be difficult for Du Ning to achieve better results in the Academy Competition.

If Du Ning beats Ge Yuan, it won't be a shame for Ge Yuan. After all, Du Ning's literary reputation is there, so even though he lost, it would be an honor.

"I didn't expect that the most famous and talented man in Suzhou wouldn't even have the guts to fight with me. It's really disappointing."

Ge Yuan's voice suddenly became louder, hoping to attract more people's attention.

"Du Ning, I heard that when you were in Suzhou, you defeated ten people from the Liao Kingdom in a row, but now you are timid in front of Brother Ge. This kind of damages your reputation as the most talented person in Suzhou."

"It seems that the most talented person in Suzhou is not worthy of his reputation, Du Ning, I look down on you!"

"I thought you were from a humble family and were proud and unparalleled. When I saw you today, it was just a wasted reputation."

The scholars of Xianwen Society began to use words to provoke the general, but this did not work for Du Ning.

Du Ning glanced at these people, had a slight impression of their appearance, and then prepared to leave.

Ge Yuan took one step ahead and immediately stopped Du Ning. He said with a gloomy face: "Master Du, are you really afraid of me, Mr. Ge, and don't dare to fight with me?"

"You misunderstood."

The corners of Du Ning's mouth raised slightly, revealing a hint of sneer: "I don't want to fight with you. It's not because I'm really afraid of you, but because Du thinks you don't have the qualifications to fight with me."

"What did you say!"

Ge Yuan was immediately furious. He knew that Du Ningwen had a proud record of ten consecutive victories in the Liao Kingdom. Even if he really fought with Du Ningwen, the chance of winning might be less than 50%, and he might even be defeated by Du Ning.

p>

But Du Ning said in front of so many people that he was not qualified to fight with Du Ning. This was simply ruining Ge Yuan's literary reputation.

This is unbearable for Ge Yuan.

"Please get out of the way."

Du Ningwen boldly shook slightly, generating a strange force and pushing Ge Yuan away.

"You..."

Ge Yuan's face was full of horror. He found that he felt a little afraid inexplicably when facing Du Ning's literary power.

"His literary courage cannot be underestimated!"

Ge Yuan was shocked. He knew that this was Du Ning's warning to him.

"No matter how powerful your literary talent is, in order to make the Eight Wise Kings ascend to the throne and to become an important minister of the country, I will defeat you on the day of the Academy Competition! I will definitely stop you from entering the court, and I will never

If you are allowed to easily become an official and oppose our Wise King Party, on the day of the Academy Competition, I will strangle all your career prospects in the cradle."

Ge Yuan thought this in his heart and strengthened his determination.

June twenty-eight.

After Hu Chiyou returned to the grassland, he immediately went to the palace in the grassland and asked the Khan of the grassland tribe to return his life to Hu Chiyan.

"Father, my son is back."

Hu Chiyou came to the main hall and gave a grassland salute to Hu Chiyan.

On the left and right stood many ministers of the Prairie Tribe, and they cast various looks at Hu Chiyou.

Hu Chiyan, who was sitting on the throne, glanced at Hu Chiyou and said slowly: "You'er, have you gained anything from your mission to the Yun Kingdom? Is the Yun Kingdom willing to make peace with our grassland people, or is it willing to accept this Khan?

Wang Yilubu, will you surrender to our grassland people?"

"My son did not do his job well and let my father down."

"Those Yun people are arrogant and don't take our grassland people seriously at all. And the young emperor dared to warn our grassland people. That day he said..."

Hu Chiyou told Hu Chiyan everything about his mission to Yun State, including the warnings issued by Emperor Hongxuan to the grassland people.

After hearing this, the grassland officials present laughed loudly, and some showed various expressions.

Some people ridiculed, some scorned, and some were extremely disapproving.

"There are barbarians in the north of the Yun Kingdom and Xiongnu in the south. Our grassland people and the pro-Yun Kingdom are a great gift to the Yun Kingdom. I didn't expect that the Yun Kingdom would be so ignorant of praise. It's really ridiculous!"

"Who is Emperor Hongxuan? He is just a teenage emperor. He actually dares to warn our grassland people that our cavalry will not be allowed to step into the Yun Kingdom, otherwise they will take our grassland people as theirs.

The territory doesn’t give us a chance to surrender, haha... It really made me laugh to death!"

"If Emperor Jingwen was around, we would still have to give the Yun Kingdom three points. Now that Emperor Jingwen is gone, do they still think that our grassland people will continue to maintain friendly relations with them as before? Ridiculous!"

"If the Yun Kingdom dares to reject Wang Yilubu from our prairie clan, then our prairie clan will lead a hundred thousand cavalry to attack the Yun Kingdom and capture the twelve cities on the western border of the Yun Kingdom!"

"Send troops to Yun Kingdom and capture the city!"

The officials of the grassland tribes all asked for war one after another, with great momentum.

They were full of self-confidence and wanted to take advantage of Yun State's crisis to send troops to declare war and attack the twelve cities on the western border of Yun State.

In their view, no matter how powerful the Yun State is, it cannot face three-party wars at the same time.

As long as one hundred thousand cavalry are dispatched, it is very easy to capture the Yun Kingdom's city and expand the territory of the Prairie Tribe without any effort.

They even think that this battle is too easy to fight and they can win no matter how hard they fight.

Now Yun Guo is more like a sick cat. Of course, he wants to take advantage of his illness and kill him.

Seeing the officials of the grassland tribe taking the initiative to ask for war, Hu Chiyan was also ready to make a move.

"Fifth brother, you have worked so hard on the journey. I thought you would complete the task assigned to you by my father. Unexpectedly, you returned without success. This is really disappointing."

Some people sneered, with contempt on their faces.

He is the eldest son of Hu Chiyan, Hu Chikuo, and the eldest brother of Hu Chiyou. He is the prince of the Prairie Clan and will ascend the throne as the Khan of the Prairie Clan in the future.

Hu Chiyou was immediately angry and unconvinced, but facing the prince of the prairie tribe, he did not dare to angrily attack him back.

Hu Chiyou clenched his fists and ignored Hu Chikuo. Instead, he said to Hu Chiyan: "Father, I was rejected on behalf of the Prairie Clan and the Qin Yun Kingdom. Later, the Yun Kingdom refused to accept Wang Yilu of the Prairie Clan.

This book is really a great shame and humiliation for me. I am willing to lead one hundred thousand cavalry to attack the Western Region of Yun Kingdom and humiliate me!"

"Fifth brother's words are reasonable. It's okay if Yun Guo doesn't make peace with us. Even Wang Yi Lu Bu refuses to accept it. It's obviously a slap in the face of our grassland people."

Hu Chikuo said loudly: "My son is also willing to take command and go out to conquer the twelve cities in the Western Regions and dedicate them to my father Khan. May my father Khan live long!"

Hu Chiyou was furious. Both of them were willing to lead the army, but only one person could take command.

There is no doubt that if Hu Chiyan agrees to attack the twelve cities in the Western Region of Yun Kingdom, he will definitely appoint the prince as the commander-in-chief and Hu Chiyou as the deputy commander-in-chief.

Hu Chiyou immediately said: "The prince is the prince of the grassland, how can he go out easily? Attacking the twelve cities of the Yun Kingdom is a small matter, and I am willing to do it for my brother. This is also the duty of a minister."

"What are you talking about! I am the prince, and there is a battle on the grassland. As the prince, I should charge forward, how can I stay in the rear? Fifth brother, you are setting up your elder brother for being unkind and unjust!"

Hu Chikuo showed an evil look on his face, and he was at odds with Hu Chiyou. Once Hu Chiyou made military exploits in the Yun Kingdom, he would be able to support his own army. Even if he one day succeeded to the throne of Khan, he would only have military power.

In Hu Chiyou's hands, he can establish himself as king in the twelve cities at any time.

This is really terrible.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Hu Chikuo to let all 100,000 cavalry fall into the hands of Hu Chiyou.

"My sons and ministers are also willing to lead the expedition!"

Several other princes also came to visit.

"Okay, don't argue anymore."

Hu Chiyan said: "This Khan appointed the prince as the commander-in-chief and the other princes as deputy commander-in-chief, commanding 100,000 cavalry on the grassland to attack the twelve cities in the Western Region."

"My son, take your orders!" All the princes said in unison.
