Confucian and Taoist scholar

Some people thought that what Du Ning did was wrong, but they were quickly refuted by another group of people.

"The reason why the Liao man was expelled from the Wenhui just now was entirely his own fault. No wonder Mr. Yun Qi."

"That's it! You people talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but in fact you do some despicable behaviors. You are all the same, and it is extremely ridiculous!"

"You say that Du Jun has no benevolence and morality? No! Some people do not deserve to be treated with benevolence and justice. What Du Jun did to them is right!"

"Well said!"

Justice comes naturally to people's hearts, and most scholars know very well who is right and who is wrong.

Du Ning looked at Ji Yansheng and said, "Mr. Ji, don't waste our time. As a bachelor from a dignified Wenzong family, you are willing to admit defeat. You won't default on your debt at this time, right?"

Ji Yansheng gritted his teeth and said to Du Ning: "Du Jun, do you really want to kill everyone like this? Doing this will not do any good for your literary name. You are from the Yun Kingdom, can you read it in the same name?

For the sake of the Yun people, please spare me this time? After all, the Wenzong family cannot be insulted!"

"The Wenzong family cannot be humiliated, so you can openly humiliate me, the Wenjun, right?" Du Ning retorted.

"You..."

Ji Yansheng couldn't answer a word, and his face was extremely ugly.

A Yunguo man said loudly: "Ji Yansheng, you are really a mother-in-law. You are not straightforward at all. Since you have launched a challenge, you must be prepared to accept punishment. If you accept the punishment with all your heart, you will at least be an upright man. Now

But he shamelessly begged Du Jun for mercy. Not only did he lose his own face, but he also lost the face of us Yun people. How will we, the Yun people, face the scholars from all over the world in the future?"

Someone else echoed: "That's right! You can't make us Yun people become dishonest villains! Otherwise, let alone your Wenzong family, even if it's a semi-saint family, I'm going to tear down your family's sign!"

”

"Hurry up and accept the punishment, otherwise we will rush to Suzhou and smash the door of your Ji family. You are an embarrassment to the Yun people!" someone said impatiently.

Ji Yansheng had no choice but to learn how to bark three times.

"Woof...woof...woof..."

Ji Yansheng screamed three times, his chest rose and fell violently, and his face turned red.

"Haha..."

The whole audience burst into laughter. A scholar from the Wenzong family actually learned how to bark like a dog!

This kind of punishment will definitely be pranked by some people in private to harm friends. It is not a rare thing, but it is only done by scholars with good relationships, and the history of entering the wild will not be recorded.

But in this feudal society, Ji Yansheng's embarrassing behavior will not only appear in unofficial history, but may also appear in official history.

If the descendants of Ji Yansheng see the relevant information, the literary courage will be in danger of cracking.

Ji Yansheng, as a bachelor, naturally knows this very well.

"Kacha..."

A crisp sound came from Ji Yansheng's literary palace, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He held on to the edge of the table and trembled all over.

"How can we see blood at the ceremony? This is blasphemy against all saints, get out!"

Kong Chunfeng waved his hand, and his powerful talent turned into a strong wind, blowing Ji Yansheng out of the holy courtyard.

With a "plop", Ji Yansheng fell outside the holy courtyard, his face full of grief and anger.

First, the literary courage was broken, and then Kong Chunfeng was personally expelled from the literary society. This was the greatest humiliation to the Wenzong family.

"Poof!"

Ji Yansheng spat out another mouthful of blood, became so angry that he fainted.

Except for a few scholars, most scholars have no sympathy for Ji Yansheng, and almost all think that Ji Yansheng brought humiliation to himself, and no one else is to blame.

Ke Changzhi's eyes were a little cold. He knew that the reason why Kong Chunfeng expelled Ji Yansheng from the literary society was clearly to show him.

But Ke Changzhi is not worried, because no matter how you look at it, both Du Ning's poems and his lyrics lack the meaning of "simple", so Ke Changzhi is sure to win.

"Congratulations to Du Jun for completing two questions, but so what? You still haven't completed the fourth question I asked, and you still failed." Ke Changzhi said.

Comte said in disgust: "Mr. Ke, haven't you seen it yet? This is not just a simple poem turned into words, but a palindrome poem turned into words."

"What! This is impossible! How could Du Ning be so talented!" Ke Changzhi's face was horrified.

Many readers in the audience were all confused. It was just a palindrome poem with words, but they could actually read the song "Poppy" backwards?

"You don't believe it? Okay, then I will recite it to everyone."

Kong Delang said in a loud voice: "The red curtain reflects the dim moonlight, and the slowly fragrant fragrance attracts it. The small columns of the green and empty courtyard are sparse, and the shadows are lightly made up and the remaining powder is thin and thin on the skin."

"Longling phoenix ring with jade on the temples, Suoluo insect hairpin fluttering. The dewdrops are cold and cold against the window, and the drizzle is separated by the lamp, and the cold dream is leaning against the building."

The whole audience was once again shocked by this poem.

"The palindromic poem turns back to the text! A wonderful poem through the ages! A wonderful poem through the ages!"

"This poem is so magical that it will definitely be passed down to the world!"

"I understand! I understand!"

Many readers are extremely excited.

Afterwards, scholars from all over the world looked at the great scholar who had given Du Ning a palindrome problem, and all of them showed ill intentions.

The punishment for this question is to shout "I am a pig" three times.

Obviously, the great scholar lost.

"Hey... I really didn't expect Du Jun to have such a literary talent. I'm really impressed with my admiration. It doesn't matter! I'm willing to admit defeat. I will accept the punishment..."

The scholar coughed dryly, and a blush of shame flashed across his face.

Before he could speak, the scholars around him were already laughing.

"That...ahem..."

"I am a pig, I am a pig, I am a cute little pig..."

"Pfft, pfft!"

Countless people were amused to the point of bursting into laughter. Each one held his belly and laughed, and some even burst into tears and beat the table crazily.

Even Kong Chunfeng and many other great scholars on the judges' bench found it difficult to maintain their public image, and everyone was smiling from ear to ear.

The scholar quickly covered his head and hid in the crowd, embarrassed to say anything.

Du Ning suddenly said loudly: "This great Confucian gentleman is willing to admit defeat. He is also an upright scholar. For this reason, he deserves the respect of all of us."

Applaud gently after finishing speaking.

"Du Jun is right, this is the mindset a great Confucian should have!"

"We are not laughing at it, but we just find it interesting. We hope Mr. Daru will understand."

"Salute to the great scholar!"

Some people applauded after Du Ning, while others bowed their hands to the scholar who proposed the question.

The great scholar cast a grateful look at Du Ning and resolved his embarrassment with a few words, maximizing his dignity at the cultural gathering.

Ke Changzhi snorted coldly and said with a sneer: "It is indeed a very clever idea to turn the palindrome poem back to the text. I admit that this is indeed a strange poem through the ages and will definitely be widely circulated in the future. However, this poem still does not suit me. The question was asked, so Du Jun, you still lost."

After the words fell, he raised his proud head and declared his final victory.

Many Ke family scholars also smiled slightly and looked at Du Ning with mocking and contemptuous eyes.

"That's right! Du Jun's literary talent is indeed unparalleled in the world, but this still cannot deny the fact that his poems do not meet the title of 'Jian'."

"The first three people who asked the questions have happily accepted the punishment from the Wenhui. Does Du Jun still have to struggle to his death, like a trapped beast still fighting?"

"This poem doesn't fit the title of 'Jian' at all. Please Yun Qijun be punished!"

"Please Yunqijun be punished!"

Those scholars who were standing before immediately seized the opportunity to attack. They all looked like they were "decided to eat Du Ning", and some even looked ferocious.

At this moment, many scholars looked at Ke Changzhi and the Ke family, as if they were looking at a group of fools.

"What a joke, I answered the question perfectly, why am I being punished?" Du Ning said in displeasure.

"You..."

Many people were furious, thinking that Du Ning was trying to default on his debt, and everyone became furious.

"The dignified Mr. Yunqi actually acted shamelessly, which is simply the greatest shamelessness!"

"Does such a scholar deserve to be Wenjun? I don't admit it!"

"Jun Yunqi, you are truly a disgrace to the literati. Your behavior will be reviled by everyone!"

Those scholars scolded one after another.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Ye Jinghong smiled coldly and said loudly: "Du Ning answered three questions at the same time with fifty-six words. Isn't it true that he answered the questions in the most concise style? Isn't this in line with the fourth question asked by Mr. Ke?

”

As soon as he finished speaking, those clamoring scholars were suddenly stunned.

That's right! Du Ning answered all the questions with one poem at the same time. He originally had to write three or four poems, but he only used one seven-rhythm poem to perfectly solve it. Isn't it based on the meaning of "Jian" in answering the questions?

p>

If this still does not meet the "simple" title, what should we do?

Ke Changzhi also suddenly woke up, his face changed wildly, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.

But if he can't refute, even if Du Ning answers four questions perfectly, then Ke Changzhi will be punished as he deserves.

The penalty for the fourth question is the penalty for completing the first three questions at the same time!

This time, Ke Changzhi's expression became extremely ugly.

Those scholars from the Ke family were disgraced for a while, with disbelief on their faces. They didn't believe that a situation that was clearly guaranteed to win could be overturned by Du Ning.

Tian Feipeng said loudly: "Mr. Ye is right. Du Ning answered all the questions at the same time with a seven-rhythm poem. From any point of view, it conforms to the meaning of the word 'Jian'. So looking at the actual situation, Mr. Ke lost."

."

Veins appeared on Ke Changzhi's forehead, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and he glared at Tian Feipeng fiercely.

Fu Yue also said: "We are not of high Confucianism and Taoism, so we cannot see the mystery of Du Ning's poems, but we did not expect that the great Confucian of the Ke family cannot see it either, so we can make judgments about superiority and inferiority."

The Ke family was so angry that they gritted their teeth. This was simply humiliating them, but they couldn't say a word.

Ke Changzhi's face was filled with shame and anger, and he secretly hated himself for being too confident and falling into Du Ning's trap.
