The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

At this time, Hai Rui was a little confused. He was communicating with Wang Shizhen, but Wang Shizhen kept looking at Gu Xiancheng. Why?

Hai Rui raised his voice and asked, "This court has just proposed it. What does Young Sikou think?"

It was about promoting the poetry collection "Today's Yuefu" at literary conferences.

"This is feasible." Wang Shizhen pinched her nose and agreed, and then said, "But I also have something to ask Dazhong Cheng."

Hai Rui replied: "You tell me first."

Wang Shizhen spoke eloquently: "Music is among the six arts of a gentleman. When Emperor Taizu Gao set up a music house for Nanqu, his original intention was to use his skills for the imperial court.

Their generation teaches skills and makes it their profession. If they are not allowed to display their skills, it would be unkind.

Moreover, the Literary Forum is scheduled to take place after the three provincial examinations, so it will not affect the provincial examinations.

A grand event should be complemented by singing and dancing to highlight the beautiful sounds, this is it."

Hai Rui already understood what Wang Shizhen meant. He looked at this cultural superstar of his generation and thought that he had also entered his twilight years, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Finally, he frowned and said: "This court allows Nanqu musicians to participate in the literary conference Geyaji!"

This is the purpose of Wang Shizhen's visit to Hai Rui. In today's social atmosphere, if a literary event is not decorated with beauties, wouldn't it become a joke?

Leader Wang is also aware of his physical condition. This year may be the last time he will host a literary conference. Of course, he hopes to make it perfect.

Wang Shizhen invited again: "I also want to invite Dazhong Cheng to attend as a protector."

Hai Rui waved his sleeves and said, "We'll discuss it later."

In fact, he declined. With Hai Rui's character, it was certainly impossible for him to engage in such a clique-based social gathering.

At this point, everyone had almost everything to say, and Hai Rui saw off the guests directly.

The youngest Gu Xiancheng, who had good legs and feet, walked out first, but he was distracted.

At first he thought he was going to win big, then he thought he was going to lose a little, and then he thought he was going to lose big.

Only now did I know that it was not just a huge defeat but also a blood loss! Not only did he not take advantage of Hai Rui's reputation, he also wrote a preface to Lin Tailai's poetry collection!

Wang Shizhen walked slowly behind, looking at Gu Xiancheng's back, and couldn't help but sigh, how can young people today be so useless?

He originally expected that Gu Xiancheng and Lin Tailai would be entangled with each other for a month, and then Lin Tailai would no longer care about the literary conference.

As a result, this Gu Xiancheng was exposed yesterday, and today he was beaten by Lin Tailai and was unable to fight back.

In just one day, the army was completely defeated!

Then the old leader Wang sighed again, even so, he still wanted to cooperate with Gu Xiancheng.

There is no way, there is no other choice. And this is the most suitable collaborator that can be found in a short period of time.

So Wang Shizhen asked Gu Xiancheng to stay and said: "In the past two years, I heard that Gu Jingyang's lectures in Xishan have become famous all over the south of the Yangtze River. He is indeed the master of Confucian classics in the world."

As expected of a veteran leader in the literary world who is well-versed in communication, he captured Gu Xiancheng, who was only in his thirties, with just a few words.

Although Gu Xiancheng looked down on the literary and art circles in his heart, he could not help but recognize the influence of the old leader Wang in society.

Unexpectedly, such an influential figure would speak so highly of himself, which made Gu Xiancheng quickly humble himself.

Then Mr. Wang, the leader of the alliance, gave a serious and sincere instruction: "Gu Jun is a scholar of his own, but the biggest problem is that he does not have a resounding name for the school.

As the saying goes, if you have a good name, you must keep your words. Without a famous name, how can you unite people's hearts?

Just like in our literary world, the name "Restore School" played a big role in the prosperity of the sect. "

Gu Xiancheng seemed to be awakened from his dream by a word. He had been teaching for two years, why didn't he think of a school name?

Then he sincerely asked for advice: "May I ask the Duke of Yanzhou, what kind of name is the best?"

Wang Shizhen took the trouble to elaborate: “It must have historical background and be able to be connected with the ancients, so that when people hear it, they will feel that there is a great inheritance.

For example, you can think about it, do you have any sages in Wuxi that you can use? "

Gu Xiancheng responded thoughtfully: "When it comes to the sages of Wuxi, there is no one more than Mr. Yang Guishan. The ruins of Donglin Academy still exist in the county."

Wang Shizhen said: "That's fine!"

Mr. Yang Guishan is Yang Shi, the academic leader of the Song Dynasty. Today, when it comes to Confucianism, Cheng and Zhu are the authentic ones, and Yang Shi is one of the four disciples of Er Cheng.

If we talk about the academic inheritance of Neo-Confucianism, Er Cheng is regarded as the first generation, Yang Shi is the second generation, and Zhu Xi is the fourth generation.

There is a very famous study allusion called "Cheng Men Li Xue", the protagonist is Yang Shi.

Gu Xiancheng, who also admired Yang Shi the most, felt a little excited and blurted out: "Then I will name him Guishan Sect!"

Wang Shizhen: "."

What kind of aesthetics do these fake Taoists have? Do you really think the name Guishan Sect sounds good?

After thinking about it, he said tactfully: "Using the name of the former sage directly is too straightforward and explicit, and it loses the charm.

For example, if our literary sect is called the Taibai School or the Du Fu School, wouldn't it sound extremely cheap? "

After Gu Xiancheng thought twice, he said again: "Then it's called Donglin School, taken from Mr. Guishan's Donglin Academy."

Wang Shizhen was not really worried about the name of Gu Xiancheng's school, she just wanted to win over Gu Xiancheng through the art of language.

So he first said casually: "Okay, this name is very feasible!"

Then he changed his mouth and said: "In short, don't be like some ignorant and crude warriors and use a name like Xinxinshe that you don't know what it means."

Gu Xiancheng, who was recalling the name "Donglin School", was not bad at political sensitivity and immediately understood the intention of leader Wang Lao.

He continued: "They may appear to be independent, but in fact they are heretics and not the same people."

We looked at each other to confirm, and that was it!

The retro faction in the literary and art circles and the Donglin faction in the academic and political circles, who were originally unrelated to each other, quickly reached a consensus because of a martial arts student who was neither literary nor academic.

Gu Xiancheng asked in confusion: "How will Duke Yanzhou respond to Haizhong Cheng's request?"

You, Wang Shizhen, promised Hai Rui to promote the poetry collection "Today's Yuefu" at literary conferences.

Wang Shizhen said meaningfully: "Don't you hear the story of "The Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng"?"

Gu Xiancheng, who is also a cultural person, understood instantly and was stunned.

As we all know, the eternally famous "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" is only the preface to "Poems of Prince Teng's Pavilion".

In the end, "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" became more famous than "Poetry of Prince Teng's Pavilion", forming a very rare cultural deed.

Therefore, what Leader Wang Lao said is that at the literary conference, only the preface of "Jin Yuefu" can be reviewed and promoted, and the poems in it can not be mentioned!

But this preface was written carefully by Gu Xiancheng!

Gu Xiancheng was really filled with emotion. He was worthy of being the leader of the literary world for decades. This method was indeed superb.

The preface to a collection of poems is also a part of the collection of poems. Touting and publicizing the preface can be regarded as promoting the collection of poems.

Given Wang Lao's status as leader of the alliance and his status as a senior member of the scientific community who was older than Hai Rui, even if Hai Rui found out afterwards, there would be nothing he could do.

After figuring it out, Gu Xiancheng immediately returned the favor and promised:

“I plan to give lectures in Nanjing for two months, and then give lectures elsewhere until next year.

In future lectures, scholars must be told that the Revival School is the authentic line of poets and recommend the study of Revival School poems.

At this literary conference, I will also mobilize my colleagues and friends to attend the conference to help Danzhou Gong grow his momentum. "

This pair of elderly and middle-aged people, who are more than 20 years apart, look at each other and smile. Today's trip is worthwhile. It can be said that they have joined forces to create greater glory.

Lin Daguan probably never expected that he actually contributed to the early emergence of the Donglin Sect, and also joined forces with the Retro Sect, which had become a sunset, to carry out cross-border cooperation.

In the original history, the Donglin School emerged after Wang Shizhen's death and the complete decline of the Restoration School. The Donglin Party and the Restoration School had nothing to do with each other.

At present, Lin Daguan has no time to be distracted and is enjoying the pleasure of reaping fame.

Now, thousands of scholars have gathered on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and the much-anticipated Yingtianfu Township Examination for the bracket liberal arts is about to begin.

But the person with the greatest reputation is Lin Tailai, a martial arts student who did not take the August provincial examination at all. He overshadowed all the serious candidates.

The tragic experience of a group of Wuxi students shocked everyone.

Everyone knew that these Wuxi candidates had actually suffered a lot from Chi Yu and had to bear the revenge from Lin Tailai on Gu Xiancheng's behalf.

And everyone is also curious, how did the feud between Suzhou Wusheng and Wuxi academic tycoon form?

At this time, relevant news spread quickly. There was a rumor in the world that when a Suzhou martial arts student passed by Wuxi a while ago, he defeated a certain Wuxi academic leader in a classics debate.

As a result, the rumor itself caused huge controversy.

If it is true, it is so outrageous that many people cannot believe it. After all, debating is about using your mouth, not your hands!

It is too fantasy for a martial arts officer who is only eighteen years old to be able to defeat an academically mature boss.

If the rumors are false, there is an interpretation of the Book of Changes in the rumors, which is very subtle.

Who would be so full that they could come up with such a sophisticated exegesis just to make up a boring joke?

In addition to the feud between Lin Tailai and the academic leader surnamed Gu, there is another matter that is hotly discussed.

Lin Tailai openly asked all the prostitutes in the old Qinhuai courtyard to recite his poetry collection! And he also claimed that those who don’t recite it will not be allowed to do business!

Moreover, under the attention of thousands of people, Lin Tailai swaggered and randomly checked the recitation performance of several beauties in two days.

This kind of behavior caused a bit of public outrage. If it were anyone else, he would have been blocked and beaten to death.

Although they did not dare to strike hard, some people still dared to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and report Lin Tailai to Hai Qingtian.

So Hai Rui called Lin Tailai over again, severely reprimanded him, and asked Lin Tailai to pay attention to his social impact.

Lin Tailai sighed: "As long as I do my duty, I will be slandered. If Dazhong Cheng just listens to other people's slanders, it would be better to just give him a happy life."

"Never again! Get lost!" Hai Rui shouted.

At this time, Hai Qingtian felt a little sad in his heart. It was difficult to do things in this world, and it was even harder to employ people. The only people he could use were people like Lin Tailai.

It's not that Hai Qingtian can't see Lin Tailai's character, but if it were anyone else, he would probably be even worse than Lin Tailai.

But I heard Lin Tailai say seriously: "Dazhong Cheng has always been selfless, and I deeply admire him.

But this time, Wang Danzhou's literary conference was opened to allow prostitutes to attend, which made my job very difficult. "

Hai Rui couldn't bear it and scolded: "If you don't understand, there's no need to talk so much nonsense, it's not something that is harmful to God!

The purpose of this institute's concession is to allow them to promote the poetry collection "The Fourteen Sufferings of Today's Yuefu" at literary conferences! "

Lin Tailai was speechless. He didn't expect Wang Shizhen to even agree to this?

Given Wang Shizhen's hatred towards him, would he honestly pass on poems to make him famous?

No matter how he thought about it, he thought it was impossible, but Lin Tailai couldn't figure out the problem for a while.

After leaving the Metropolitan Procuratorate, on the way back to the south bank of Qinhuai, Lin Tailai stopped by the Imperial College to visit Lao Pujie Zhao Zhigao.

I had been here twice before, and I became quite familiar with Zhao Zhigao.

Zhao Zhigao smiled first and said, "Are you free again today?"

Lin Tailai did not accompany us to chat today. He got straight to the point and said, "I have something to ask the old bachelor to come out."

Zhao Zhigao secretly thought, is the fox finally showing its tail? Is Lin Tailai finally going to reveal his true purpose of approaching him?

Then I heard Lin Tailai: "I was recently ordered to teach the concubines of Nanqu, but it caused a lot of rumors.

I can't bear to be disturbed by this, so I plan to invite an old bachelor to come out and be responsible for supervising and spot-checking Zhu Ji's study status. "

Zhao Zhigao was stunned for a while and smiled bitterly: "Lin Sheng is joking, how can I withstand this with my body and bones!"

For an old man in his sixties, would it be embarrassing if he got caught in the makeup array?

Lin Tailai further explained: "I have divided the old courtyard into ten areas, and the old bachelor can take overall responsibility.

Old bachelors can select scholars and assign them to ten areas to be responsible for specific supervision and random inspections. "

Zhao Zhigao was immediately moved. This was a gift of power to him for free.

As long as the news is spread, I am afraid that more than 60% of the scholars in Nanjing City will want to be selected by me and will flock to see me!

I actually suspected Lin Tailai had ulterior motives before, but he was really a villain.

The two talked again, and Zhao Zhigao suddenly remembered something and told Lin Tailai:

"Li Sancai, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, came to the Imperial College yesterday and instructed us in the Imperial College to start cleaning immediately and arrange the venue."

The name Li Sancai immediately aroused Lin Tailai's vigilance. He was an unavoidable figure in the history of party strife in the late Ming Dynasty.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of the history of the late Ming Dynasty will know about Li Sancai and the close relationship between Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng.

Lin Tailai felt that he had not come out in vain today and noticed many new signs.

He didn't believe that leader Wang Lao would stop, nor did he believe that Gu Xiancheng would stop.

There must be something wrong inside. If you can't guess it, you can only find a way to find out.

Before leaving, he said to Zhao Zhigao: "Shen Xiangguo Jizi and I founded the Renewal Society together, and I sincerely invite the old bachelor to join the society."

These days, the association is very popular, and it is very common for scholars to join the association. It is not a rare thing.

Zhao Zhigao did not hesitate and agreed casually: "Okay."

In his current situation, what can Lin Tailai want for himself?

Besides, it's just a matter of joining a literary club. Doesn't it include Shen Shoufu's son?

After that, Lin Tailai returned to the south bank of the Qinhuai River. Mo Xiren handed over several documents and reported: "This is the illegal clues compiled today."

Lin Tailai flipped through it and saw a few familiar names.
