The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

According to the Ming Dynasty system, in this case, the emperor's approval was required before the military attache could be formally arrested, so even if Lin Daguan confessed his crime, he could move freely.

The people in Yangzhou who pay most attention to Lin Daguan are not the big salt merchants, but Commander Wan of the Yangzhou Guard.

As soon as Lin Daguan confessed his crime at the Salt Transportation Department and returned home, Commander Wan came to visit.

"Are you ready to take action?" Commander Wan was about to make a move.

Official Lin instructed: "We must take the overall situation into consideration and wait. It is not appropriate to act rashly at the moment."

Commander Wan asked doubtfully: "You also know how to take care of the overall situation?"

Isn't the phrase that Lin Tailai often says on his lips, "I am the overall situation"?

Lin Daguan emphasized: "Now hold on tight and don't wave, lest you scare people away!"

Commander Wan is confused. Who is he afraid of running away?

Wang Shizhen, the leader of the world literary circle and the leader of the retro sect, with the nickname Fengzhou or Yanzhou Shanren, was invited to Yangzhou City, but when he crossed the river and reached Guazhou Town, he hesitated.

Then the old alliance leader sent his right-hand assistant Feng Shike to take the first step and secretly went to Yangzhou to find out the news.

Two days later, Feng Shike returned to Guazhou Town from Yangzhou City, which was dozens of miles away.

The old alliance leader Wang drove away the left and right singers, leaving only his son Wang Shisu, and asked Feng Shike: "What is the current situation in Yangzhou City?"

Feng Shike replied with a strange expression: "When I arrived in the city, I heard the news that Lin Tailai had confessed to the Salt Transportation Department for smuggling."

Alliance Leader Wang was also shocked and asked: "Is this happening? Isn't it just a rumor?"

Feng Shike replied: "Lin Tailai has already signed and stamped the confession, there is no way it can be false!"

The old alliance leader's old eyes flashed with a sparkle that was incongruous with his age, and he slapped the table and said: "You can go to Yangzhou City! Send a message to Yangzhou tomorrow, continue moving the day after tomorrow, and enter the city at sunset!"

Previously, Cai Shiding, the censor of the Salt Patrol, wrote a letter inviting him to hold a literary conference in Yangzhou City and promised to be his guarantee.

To be honest, he was very tempted. After all, the development of Yangzhou City in recent years is obvious to all, and it is located at a strategic location on land and water, so public opinion spreads extremely well.

The only concern is that I heard that Lin Tailai is also eyeing Yangzhou and often activities in Yangzhou. He is worried that the Salt Patrol Censor will not be able to keep the place under control.

However, if Lin Tailai can be forced to confess, it shows that the Salt Patrol Censor can be restrained, then there is no need to worry.

While Wang Shizhen was thinking about it in his mind, he said: "Now we can start to spread the word to the outside world and send people to Jinling and Jiangnan to spread the news of the literary conference."

Feng Shike asked for instructions again: "What should I say? The theme of the Suzhou Literary Forum the year before last was to elect a new five sons, but it failed in the end. Will it continue this time?"

The old alliance leader frowned, countless embarrassing memories came to mind, and he said without thinking: "We can't mention the new five sons this time!"

Mentioning the new five sons will make people recall what happened in Suzhou the year before last! No one who knows a little bit about publicity strategies would do this!

Finally, the leader of the League, Mr. Wang, let out a long sigh and said with profound artistic conception: "The theme of this literary conference is silence and reconciliation."

Feng Shike: "???"

What a dead ringer? Old leader, do you want to abdicate?

But I, Feng Er, am not ready to take over yet. I still need to accumulate a few more years of qualifications and popularity!

"The world's literary world cannot live without the Duke of Yanzhou, just like the city of Jinling cannot live without the Qinhuai River!" Feng Shike advised.

Wang Shizhen was quite touched. Although Feng Shike, a junior, was not very capable, he was better than his kind-hearted character.

Feng Shike added: "If it doesn't work out, Duke Yanzhou will be the honorary leader for a few more years. I will first preside over the affairs of the Renovation Sect as a sitting official. Later, Duke Yanzhou can pass on the honorary leader position to others."

Wang Shizhen: "."

Who did you learn from this organizational structure of honorary leader and sitting hall?

Feeling that if he continued on this topic, he would be forced to give in. Wang Shizhen quickly explained:

"The so-called dead ring means that Zhang Juilai resigned and will go south to Yangzhou from the capital. Wuchuan Tower was also invited to go down the river from Wuchang, and together with me, we gathered in Yangzhou City."

Zhang Juilai refers to Zhang Jiayin, the Minister of War who had just resigned, while Wu Chuanlou refers to Wu Guolun, a big figure in the literary world.

These two people are of the same generation as Wang Shizhen, and they are both figures in the retro group Seven Sons.

Wang Shizhen continued: "We are the only three of the seven sons of the retro group who are still alive. At our age, I am afraid this will be the last time we are reunited.

In the future, they will be separated in different directions, life and death are uncertain, and it will be difficult to reunite, so it can be called a dead ring. "

Feng Shike was a little disappointed when he heard this. It turned out that this "Jue Xiang" was not the old alliance leader who wanted to abdicate.

However, we have to admire the planning ability of the old alliance leader. With this topic, the literary and artistic tone and historical richness of the literary conference simply hit our faces.

Wang Shizhen finally explained: "As for reconciliation, it means reconciliation with Xie Zhen and reconciliation with Xu Wenchang.

When we, the seven sons of the retro group, are no longer famous, we have to put an end to the grievances and resentments of the past thirty years. We are all old."

When Feng Shike heard this, he asked abruptly: "What about Lin Tailai?"

There are rumors in the literary world that Xie Zhen is the first generation literary enemy of the retro school, Xu Wenchang is the second generation literary enemy of the retro school, and Lin Tailai is the third.

Leader Wang loudly refuted: "What does Lin Tailai, a martial artist, have to do with the literary world! A person with no virtue is worthy of being in the literary world! The third literary enemy is just bragging! There is no need to mention the person who has confessed and committed the crime. !”

So Feng Shi stopped talking. The old alliance leader's reaction was too strong.

Another day later, leader Wang continued to set off and entered Yangzhou City from the south gate.

Officials such as the censor of salt inspection, salt transportation envoys, prefects, and county magistrates came out of the city gate to greet them. Dozens of scholars lined the streets to welcome him warmly. There were also many arty salt merchants who also joined in the fun, which gave the old alliance a good atmosphere.

Leader Wang, who was standing at the bow of the boat, glanced at the crowd and asked Feng Shike, "Is Lin Tai coming?"

Feng Shike also observed it carefully and said with certainty: "No."

Alliance Leader Wang's face showed joy, and he said happily: "It seems that Lin Tailai is really in trouble, otherwise he would not be able to let this occasion go."

Feng Shike: "."

Old leader, you don't want others to mention Lin Tailai, but you always talk about Lin Tailai yourself. What kind of mentality is this?

If we talk about the development direction of Yangzhou City, most of the entertainment industry is in the south gate, most commerce is in and outside the east gate, and the scenic gardens are gradually moving north.

Cai Yushi met Mr. Wang, the leader of the alliance, and said: "It's not early today. Duke Yanzhou will settle in the palace in the city first, and tomorrow he will go to Shugang and move into Pingshan Hall."

Leader Wang Lao asked: "But the Pingshan Hall started by Ouyang Wenzhong?"

Cai Yushi said: "This is the place that was renovated last year by a salt merchant named Zheng. It was used as the residence of the Duke of Yanzhou in Yangzhou. Is it okay?"

Alliance leader Wang Lao was extremely satisfied, "Very good!"

On the second day, leader Wang Lao went out of the city to Shugang and entered Pingshan Hall.

If the height of Shugang can be considered a mountain, Pingshan Hall is located on the "top of the mountain". Although the altitude number is not high, within a radius of dozens of miles, this is the commanding heights.

At this time, only Pingshan Hall was rebuilt, and the original temple was not rebuilt. Pingshan Hall was surrounded by auxiliary courtyards, which were indeed suitable for people to live in.

The main building of Pingshan Hall is tall, spacious and transparent on all sides, making it very suitable as a main venue.

The spring was bright. Wang Laomeng stood in the Pingshan Hall and looked out to the south of the Yangtze River. He could vaguely see the Zhenjiang mountains across the river, and he was in a good mood.

It’s so beautiful to hold a literary conference in Ouyang Xiu’s hometown, taking into account the scenic beauty!

Feng Shike always felt that there was something wrong with this place, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Mr. Yanzhou can stay at the villa on the bank at the foot of the mountain, as a place to stay for a long time."

The "shore" mentioned by Feng Shike refers to the two sides of Slender West Lake in later generations, which had already begun to be developed at this time.

How could the leader of the alliance, Wang Lao, be willing to leave here? He responded: "Is the foot of the mountain the promised land of the literary world?

I see that Shugang has a wide range of trees, is elegant and quiet, and has the famous Pingshan Hall. This is a God-given place for literary circles, and I can stay on the mountain. "

Feng Shike urged: "The leader of the alliance is here! If we are stationed on the bank, it is close to the city wall and the river is connected, so it is convenient to travel;

If we abandon this important road and live in the mountains, not only will the scholars in the city suffer a lot of inconvenience, but we will also be in trouble if something happens. "

The old alliance leader Wang laughed and said: "You are really a woman. As the ancients said, when you look down from a high position, you are majestic.

If people give up attending the cultural gathering just because of the slight inconvenience of traveling from the city, it’s okay not to come! "

Feng Shike tried to persuade him again and again, but the old alliance leader Wang didn't listen, so he had to give up.

With the arrival of leader Wang Lao, Yangzhou City, where the literary conference was about to be held, suddenly became a cultural center.

Immediately afterwards, two famous figures in the literary world, Zhang Jiayin and Wu Guolun, also arrived one after another, taking the momentum of the literary conference to a higher level.

Among the seven sons of the retro style, the only remaining three sons gathered in Yangzhou City, which shocked the entire literary world and attracted a large number of celebrities to Yangzhou.

What's even more surprising is that Wang Daokun, a big boss from Huizhou who had not been leaving for a long time, actually came to Yangzhou City.

Wang Daokun and Wang Shizhen were of the same age, and both were members of the golden generation of the imperial examination in the 26th year of Jiajing.

Wang Daokun and Wang Shizhen have a very good relationship, but Wang Daokun did not directly join the retro faction. Instead, he founded a Xin'an faction on the mountaintop, which can be regarded as an ally of the retro faction.

In recent years, Wang Daokun, who is already old, has been enjoying leisurely walks in Linquan in his hometown and rarely goes out.

Even the old leader Wang held a literary conference this time and did not think of inviting Wang Daokun to attend.

So this time Wang Daokun suddenly appeared in Yangzhou City, which was surprising.

But I was surprised, but I couldn't say it was so strange.

After all, Wang Daokun is the leader of Huizhou literary circles, and Yangzhou City is an important town for Huizhou merchants. There are many Huizhou people, especially wealthy businessmen.

So maybe there is some connection and cause and effect that can invite Wang Daokun from his hometown in Huizhou to Yangzhou City.

In this way, Wang Shizhen, Wang Daokun, Wu Guolun, and Zhang Jiayin, these four old celebrities who can be called literary giants, suddenly gathered in Yangzhou, perhaps by coincidence.

Lin Daguan, who has been involved in lawsuits and has kept a low profile for several days, was a little surprised when he heard the news. What is going on?

According to Lin Daguan's understanding, this is the East Evil, West Poison, Northern Beggar, and Southern Emperor gathered in Yangzhou City in Jin Yong's universe?

Or do you want to do a stunt where four literary elders meet in their twilight years?

Updates are scheduled as scheduled. Do I still have a monthly pass?
