Confucian and Taoist scholar

"Brother Nie, what are you writing about?" Du Ning asked.

Nie Yinghua smiled and said: "This is my own "Nie Yinghua's Record of Observations". I record some interesting things every day. As a historian, writing down my own experiences will be a very rich wealth of experience.

, when I grow old, it can also become my most unforgettable memory."

Du Ning mentioned casually: "If you put it this way, then what happened about the literary fight between me and Kong Chengan a few days ago..."

"Of course it's written in."

Nie Yinghua said: "I was also present at the time and witnessed the fight between Brother Du and Kong Cheng'an, so I recorded it conveniently."

"It's actually recorded in the book, this is incredible!"

"This is something recorded by historians, and not even a semi-saint can erase it."

"Kong Chengan is really unlucky. Let's see if he dares to be so arrogant in the future. Someone will take care of him."

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd. You must know that Kong Chengan was a scholar from the Holy Family. If Nie Yinghua directly recorded Kong Chengan's scandal in the book, it might be seen by Kong Chengan's descendants in future generations. That would be a huge blow to Kong Chengan's descendants.

It is definitely a shame to the family.

Kong Chengan in the crowd turned blue and white, and even trembled a little.

"Presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

Some Confucian students shouted angrily and cast hostile glances at Nie Yinghua. They could not tolerate that Nie Yinghua would record this matter in a book. This was not only a shame for Kong Chengan, but also a shame for the Holy Family.

It is simply ridiculous that a student from the most holy family would do something so embarrassing.

Kong Chengan hurriedly came over and said: "Brother Ying Hua, I have no enmity with you, why do you want to record my affairs in the book? Do you know that I am from the Holy Family?"

The angry tone was a bit threatening.

"It turns out it's Brother Cheng'an, you're here too."

Nie Yinghua looked at Kong Chengan with disdain and said: "As a scholar of history, I should record what I see and hear truthfully. I wonder if Brother Chengan has any advice? How about I take out the article and show it to you to see if there is any advice?

A fly in the ointment?"

"You..."

Kong Chengan clenched his fists. He didn't expect that a mere historian would look down on him so much. If he continued to question him, he would probably write down the conversation, which would be even more embarrassing.

"Humph!"

Kong Chengan had no choice but to give up. He hated Nie Yinghua very much and was very afraid of him at the same time.

Many people snickered secretly. Nie Yinghua was not only a historian, but also a disciple of "Wen Daoqing", a great scholar of history in the Holy Academy. He was also not someone who could be moved by the Kong family, so facing the threat of Kong Chengan, Nie Yinghua had nothing to fear.

More than ten minutes later, students from various countries arrived outside the hall of the Various Countries Cultural Association.

Several great Confucians stood at the door, including Fan Heshan from the Yun Kingdom, Ke Changqiu from the Ke family, as well as great Confucians from the Confucian family and other Chinese countries.

The leader is a man in his forties. He is wearing a robe, smiling, and his eyes are shining with wisdom.

The other great scholars stood half a step behind him, and no one was at shoulder level with him. This shows that this person's status is higher than those of these great scholars in the Holy Academy.

"It's Xia Jianghuai, a famous scholar in the Holy Academy." Someone shouted excitedly.

"Students have met Xia Daru."

"I have met Mr. Jiang Huai."

Students from all over the world bowed respectfully, and even students from the Confucius family had to bend down and bow.

Xia Jianghuai was a top student in the Holy Academy and one of the leading figures in the literary circles of various countries. He had many literary works that were all-powerful in the literary world and had a great influence on the modern literary world.

It's a pity that he has more than enough literary merit but not enough military merit. If he can make great contributions to the human race, he may be canonized as a king by the Holy Court, and Xia Jianghuai has been hiding his power and biding his time, looking for opportunities to make great contributions to the human race.

"Xia Jianghuai has met all the literary friends from all over the world."

Xia Jianghuai returned the greeting to everyone and said with a smile: "Today's literary meeting will be hosted by Xia, and other great scholars will comment. Many unfamiliar faces will come to this year's literary meeting. I believe it will be a very exciting literary meeting. Now the time has come, please come into the palace."

After the words fell, students from various countries began to enter the palace.

There is a very broad space inside, and twelve bells are neatly placed in the center of the hall, which are the famous "Branch Bells".

The gallbladder bells vary in size. The smallest one is about the size of an adult, while the largest gallbladder bell is over ten feet tall.

The twelve brake bells are arranged neatly from low to high.

There are twelve tables outside the Shadan Bell, and the four treasures of the study have been placed on them. Each student participating in the literary conference of various countries has a seat.

After everyone was seated, Du Ning glanced around. One table could seat ten people, and there were twelve long tables, with a total of one hundred and twenty Jinshi students.

The number of Jinshi candidates for trials in various countries is usually 100 people, with a maximum of 108 people.

There are currently 120 Jinshi participating in the various nations' cultural conferences. The extra students are specially approved by the Holy Academy to participate. If they perform well, they will make an exception and participate in the various nations' trials together.

Each scholar can only participate in the Jinshi Trial once and cannot participate repeatedly.

Therefore, every scholar here who can participate in the trials of various countries will cherish this opportunity extremely.

The auditorium was gradually filled with scholars, who came from different countries in China. Some people had participated in the trials of various countries before, and some were coming to be an audience for the first time.

Du Ning glanced at the people around him. Many Jinshis present were very alert and could easily detect the gaze he cast.

Most people gave Du Ning a kind smile, while some Confucian and Ke family students showed deep hostility towards Du Ning.

Ke Hongwei, in particular, looked back at Du Ning with a very fierce look, even filled with deep hatred.

Many great scholars at the commentary box were constantly looking at the Jinshi students from various countries with different expressions.

"In today's cultural gathering, I, Kong Chengmo, will definitely defeat Du Ning and find a place for the Kong family."

A young Jinshi of the Kong family roared. He looked at the twelve gallbladder bells, and a strange color appeared in his eyes.

This Kong Chengmo is the Confucian student recommended by Kong Yu to participate in the literary conference of various countries.

When it comes to poetry, Kong Chengmo is also quite talented.

Although he didn't write any poems that were handed down from generation to generation, or even poems that were spread throughout the world and the country, he didn't believe that any poem Du Ning could write would produce such amazing visions.

Moreover, the poems, lyrics, and songs in today's literary conference are just to add to the entertainment content. The main purpose is to "sound the bell with words." The scholars' words and determination resonate with the bell, thus making the bell ring.

Even in the exchange of poems, Kong Chengmo is slightly inferior to Du Ning, but in the subsequent "sounding words" link, Kong Chengmo has absolute confidence to surpass Du Ning.

He is a scholar from the Holy Family and has had great ambitions since he was a child. In this regard, he is confident that he will never lose to any scholar present.

If Kong Chengmo can surpass Du Ning in this aspect, he will be considered to have surpassed Du Ning, and he will be able to make an exception and participate in the trials of various nations.

Thinking of this, Kong Chengmo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a confident smile.

Xia Jianghuai stood in the middle of the hall and said to the students from various countries: "It is a fate that students from all countries can gather together today. I believe all literary friends should know the significance of this literary conference. The so-called cultural conference is

It is through literature that we make friends. There are two links in this literary meeting. The first link is about writing poems and lyrics, and communicating with literary friends from various countries through poems, words and poems. The second link is about speaking out. As a scholar and a Confucian,

A scholar of the Tao should set his own aspirations in words and deeds, so next, let’s enter the first step.”

Having said this, students from various countries immediately began to adjust their status.

"Here comes someone."

Xia Jianghuai shouted, and immediately a man came to the field holding a box.

"This is an empty box with nothing in it. Now I want to ask the commentators at the literary conference to write down three or more themes and put them into this box. Then I will randomly draw from them. No matter what theme I draw,

Everyone writes poems and lyrics based on this theme."

Upon hearing this, the great scholars immediately wrote down several notes, which were then taken away by the soldiers in the Wenhui and put into the box in public.

This is equivalent to a great scholar setting a test, and the subject matter was written on the spot. It is very fair and impartial to everyone.

Xia Jianghuai shook the box, then took out a piece of paper from it. After opening it, he said to everyone: "This piece of paper says the word 'frontier fortress'. Please write it with the word 'frontier fortress' as the title."

Poetry and lyrics take only a quarter of an hour."

A quarter of an hour is equivalent to about fifteen minutes.

Many students frowned, with different expressions on their faces.

There is no other reason. Most of the Jinshi students present have never been to the frontier fortress, nor have they seen the scenery of the frontier fortress. At most, they have only seen records about the frontier fortress in the secretary.

But if you have never experienced it personally, how can you truly feel the feelings of the frontier fortress? How can you write a poem about the frontier fortress in a quarter of an hour?

“It’s not a good idea to draw any subject, but I chose the subject of the frontier fortress!”

"If it is about other themes, you can still try it, but the frontier subject is too unpopular, and it is really not easy to write poems in this area."

"It would be great if Mr. Xia drew other themes."

Many people complain in their hearts, but they dare not speak out. After all, this is a literary conference of various countries. Xia Jianghuai did not deliberately pick out such remote themes. It can only be said that Xia Jianghuai is too good at picking.

"One-tenth of the time has passed."

Xia Jianghuai reminded everyone that they should think about writing poems and lyrics instead of just standing there thinking about nothing.

Du Ning had already laid out the paper, polished the ink, and started to write.

Many people looked at Du Ning, admiring him for being a person who could write legendary war poems and for being able to find content for creation so quickly.

But the next moment, they showed a look of surprise.

Kong Chengmo's face on the other side darkened, and he thought to himself: "Du Ning has been to the battlefield before, so he can write poems about frontier fortresses. This subject is simply tailor-made for him!"

Not long after, Du Ning finished writing his poem, and his talent burst out, reaching a height of four feet.

"Poetry can conquer a country!"

"As expected of Du Ning, he is a national poet once he makes a move!"

"What a great talent!"

There were bursts of exclamations everywhere.

Many scholars at the commentary table immediately turned their attention to Du Ning. Some kept making clues, some looked happy, and some nodded with relief.

Only Ke Changqiu had a fierce look in his eyes. The name Du Ning had simply become the inverse of their semi-saint family. The Ke family had never won the competition with Du Ning in the literary world.

Suffer humiliation.

"It's better to meet than to be famous. Mr. Heshan, your Yun Guo Qilin is really a literary hero, I admire you."

When Ke Changqiu spoke to Fan Heshan, the word "Qilin" only emphasized the tone.

"Mr. Changqiu, thank you." Fan Heshan smiled.

The soldiers of the Cultural Society took away the poems and essays on Du Ning's table and showed them to the great scholars at the commentary table.

After seeing it, many great scholars showed very surprised expressions.

Even Ke Changqiu could not conceal his praise for this poem.

Although he doesn't like Du Ning, his talent in poetry deserves recognition.

The soldier then handed Du Ning's poems and essays into Xia Jianghuai's hands.

Xia Jianghuai nodded lightly, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and said to everyone: "This is "Liangzhou Ci" written by Du Ning, a student from Yun State. Please appreciate it with me."

"Grape wine luminous cup,"

"If you want to drink Pipa, please hurry up."

"Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield,"

"How many people have fought in ancient times."

After the words fell, bursts of applause came from the audience, coming from some Hanlin and bachelors.

Their knowledge is far better than that of Jinshi, and they can naturally understand the emotions and mysteries in poems faster.

Kong Yu and Kong Chengan looked at each other with ugly expressions on their faces.

"Sure enough!"

Kong Chengmo took a deep breath, and his heart was turned upside down.

"I would like to invite a scholar to comment." Xia Jianghuai said.

The great scholars from various countries at the commentary table looked at each other, and for a while no one came forward.

After all, this is a poem that subdues the country. If it is reviewed properly, it deserves everyone’s applause.

If there were any mistakes, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Since the dignified scholar is sitting at the commenting table, why can't he comment on the poetry of a Jinshi?

After a long time, Fan Heshan suddenly stood up and said, "This is a poem by a student of my Yun Kingdom. Let me comment on it!"

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading. Install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]

Then he bowed his hands to everyone: "I, Fan Heshan, would like to comment on this song "Liangzhou Ci"."

"The first half of the poem talks about the mellow grape wine filling the luminous cup. Just when I was about to drink it, the sound of the pipa immediately sounded, urging people to go out quickly."

"The second half of the poem is a kind of emotion and lyricism. If you have wine now, you will get drunk now. Even if you fall drunk on the battlefield, please don't laugh."

"Especially "How many people have fought in ancient times" is the finishing touch, expressing that the soldiers have long disregarded life and death and have long been prepared to return to the battlefield in horse leather."

"This poem is so tragic and solemn, it fully demonstrates the heroic temperament of the soldiers who defended the border and were not afraid of death."
