Confucian and Taoist scholar

In the competition between students from the Yun Kingdom and the students from the Liao Kingdom at the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Festival, in the end, the students from the Yun Kingdom were superior in skill and defeated the students from the Liao Kingdom.

Many Liao people secretly cursed Qin Yingkong. I thought that without the help of Du Ning, the Liao students would be able to defeat the Yun students, telling scholars from other countries that the Liao literary world has always been better than the Yun literary world.

But he did not expect that Qin Yingkong would be defeated by Fan Ruxian, causing the Liao literary world to suffer humiliation again.

The people of Liao State were very disappointed with Qin Yingkong's performance. In the eyes of many people of Liao State, the Qin family had become another "Ke family".

The dispute over the literary names of students from the Yun Kingdom over those from the Liao Kingdom was just an episode at the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Under the auspices of Hong Li, the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Festival continued.

In the following time, students from various countries showed their literary talents in writing poems and lyrics, and occasionally some exquisite Mingzhou poems appeared for Du Ning to appreciate, thus pushing the popularity of the Mid-Autumn Festival to a peak.

But after Fan Ruxian, there were no poems above the level of Zhenguo.

The moon is full in the sky and the stars are twinkling. The night is very beautiful tonight.

Unknowingly, it was already late at night. At this Mid-Autumn Festival literary gathering, students from all over the world came up with their own poems.

As a judge, Du Ning ranked the poems that appeared at the literary conference.

Fan Ruxian won the first place with his poems about Zhengguo, while Qin Yingkong's poems about Mingzhou ranked fifth.

When Hong Li announced the rankings, Du Ning awarded awards to the top ten readers.

Finally, Hong Li delivered a speech to the Mid-Autumn Festival and prepared to announce the successful conclusion of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At this moment, a sudden voice sounded from the crowd: "I heard that Mr. Yun Qi created the Holy Land of Apricot Altar for our human race at the Lanzhou Academy of Literature. Mr. Zhang Shisong, a great scholar from the Academy of Liao Dynasty, specially commissioned me to write a poem to express his congratulations!

”

As the voice fell, a middle-aged scholar walked into Lanzhou Literary Academy with a smile on his face, as if he had just arrived at the literary meeting after a long journey.

Many people from Lanzhou and Yunguo changed their minds one after another, not coming early or late, but they came at this time because they were most afraid of being unkind.

It’s called offering poems to congratulate, but everyone can see that this is to use the title of offering poems to suppress Lanzhou.

"I, Qin Wenlin, have met Lord Yunqi and all the literary friends from all over the world. Please forgive me for being a little late in coming down!"

Qin Wenlin first bowed to Du Ning, and then bowed to everyone.

Out of politeness, the scholars from other countries around him also returned the favor to Qin Wenlin.

"Mr. Zhang Shisong, a great scholar from the Academy of the Liao Dynasty? Did I hear you right? He is a very respected scholar in the literary world of the Liao Kingdom. Why did he collude with a great scholar from the Qin family?"

Someone whispered in a low voice, and also used the word "collusion", which caused many scholars to carefully consider and ponder.

Du Ning frowned slightly, then returned to normal.

Zhang Shisong, a great scholar from the Guoxue Palace in the Liao Kingdom, had a prominent position. He was not only highly respected in the Liao Kingdom, but also had a certain influence in the literary circles of other countries.

Even Du Ning admires Zhang Shisong very much, because Zhang Shisong devoted his life to teaching and cultivated many talents for the Liao Kingdom. Some of the third-rank officials in the Liao Kingdom were Zhang Shisong's disciples.

There were some small stains in his life, but he did not commit any serious mistakes. Therefore, looking at the literary circles of various countries, many scholars have a very high evaluation of Zhang Shisong.

Zhang Shisong has read Du Ning's poems and published some articles praising Du Ning in the Liao literary world. Even though Du Ning repeatedly defeated the Ke family scholars and continued to crush the Liao literary world, Zhang Shisong never denied Du Ning, even though Du Ning

When the new laws were implemented in Lanzhou City, even when scholars from various countries’ literary circles attacked Du Ning’s “New Laws of China” and believed that Du Ning’s “New Laws of China” would subvert the order of the human race, Zhang Shisong was always very fond of Du Ning.

Reasonable evaluation.

However, today, the two great scholars who have never had any grudges will finally have a spark at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in Lanzhou City.

One is a long-established scholar from the Liao Kingdom, and the other is a rising star from the Yun Kingdom.

Many people feel a little uneasy. The highly respected scholar of the Liao Kingdom personally came to suppress Du Ning in the name of offering poems. If there is any misunderstanding, the literary circles of the Yun Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom will fight to the death.

What is noteworthy is that Zhang Shisong did not come to congratulate him in person, but entrusted Qin Wenlin to come and present poems. The reason why is worthy of deep thought by scholars from all over the world.

If Zhang Shisong intends to suppress Du Ning, he should come in person.

Obviously, Zhang Shisong was not willing to do such a thing, nor was he willing to offend Du Ning. However, as a scholar of the Liao Kingdom's Imperial Academy, if he did nothing, he would not be sorry for his status as a scholar of the Liao Kingdom, so he asked Qin Wenlin to

Carry the original manuscript of the poem to show your shame.

Most people cannot get Zhang Shisong's original poems, so it is very likely that Qin Wenlin came forward in person. Otherwise, how could Qin Wenlin become the client by coincidence?

Hong Li took a step forward, raised his hand to Qin Wenlin, and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Qin Wenlin, a great scholar from the Liao Kingdom. You came at the right time. Our Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Festival in Lanzhou City has ended."

Qin Wenlin immediately sneered: "What did Mr. Hong say? As far as I know, you have not announced the official end of the cultural conference."

Hong Li retorted: "Hong and Mr. Qin have never met. How did Mr. Qin know that my surname is Hong? Didn't you just arrive at the cultural conference?"

Qin Wenlin's expression suddenly changed, and he was about to say something to explain.

Hong Li did not give the other party a chance and said directly: "Mr. Qin must have been watching nearby for a long time and deliberately chose to show up to present poems before the end of the literary meeting. It seems that he has really taken great pains to give your Liao literary world a chance."<

/p>

Qin Wenlin was angry, but he still said calmly: "After all, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival in Lanzhou City. Naturally, we can wait until the students from various countries finish the literary competition to talk about anything. Otherwise, it will look like our Liao country

It’s too rude for a scholar. Qin is presenting a poem to Mr. Zhang Shisong today. I’m sure Mr. Hong won’t refuse, right?”

Hong Li immediately closed his mouth and was speechless for a moment. Instead, he turned to look at Du Ning and asked what Du Ning meant with his eyes.

Du Ning is the leader of the apricot altar. As long as Du Ning is in Lanzhou Academy of Literature, Du Ning has the highest status.

"The visitor is a guest. Mr. Qin comes from far away from the Liao Kingdom. As landlords, of course we welcome him."

Du Ning looked at Qin Wenlin and said: "I have admired Mr. Zhang Shisong's name for a long time. What an honor it is to receive a poem from Mr. Zhang Shisong? Please ask Mr. Qin to present a poem and let us have a look at Mr. Shi Song's literary talent!"<

/p>

After the words fell, many students from the Liao Kingdom were ecstatic. They all held their heads high and looked at Du Ning with eyes full of contempt and disdain.

This means that Du Ning has accepted Zhang Shisong’s challenge!
