The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

In the east living room of the atrium of the Lin Mansion, two important guests came today, both from the same county.

But the atmosphere in the living room was very cold. There was no interaction between the two guests. The occasional glances at each other were as sharp as flying knives.

When the host, Lin Tailai, walked in, this was what he saw.

These two guests were Shen Mingchen and Tu Long, the two giants in Zhejiang literary circles. As Zhang Fengyi said, they hated each other like fire and water.

If you look closely, Shen Mingchen is wearing a red robe. It is said that this is Shen Mingchen's symbol. No matter where he goes throughout the year, his clothes are always red.

Tu Long, on the other hand, looked drunk, with a beauty in his arms. It is said that after Tu Long was humiliatingly dismissed from office because of the crime of "licentiousness", he became completely dissolute.

Generally speaking, it is extremely rude to do this to guests, but it is also Tu Long's signature behavior. Tang Xianzu, who is also in the opera circle, even wrote a poem about it.

They are very nice and individual, and have the fashionable style of celebrities.

After the guests and hosts took their seats, Lin Daguan said his opening remarks: "Suzhou and Zhejiang are connected by mountains and rivers, and Wu and Yue have been in the same boat since ancient times.

I have always been friendly with Zhejiang Shilin. For example, the current Shaozuka Prime Minister Zhao Zhigao is my old friend. I hope we can continue to maintain our friendship today. "

Shen Mingchen: ""

Have you forgotten all the Zhejiang officials including Li Shida, the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Nanjing who was killed by Lin Jiuyuan, Lu Guangzu, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who was brought into the family by you, Chen Younian, the doctor of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other Zhejiang officials who were repeatedly ridiculed by you?

But even though Shen Mingchen is already seventy years old, his emotional intelligence is really not good enough. He replied:

"I often hear my nephew talk about it at home. Lin Jiuyuan is a great person among people. Today I see him and his reputation is well-deserved."

The nephew Shen Mingchen is talking about is Shen Yiguan, who is now a third-grade Ci minister and is currently visiting relatives at home.

The first meeting between literati should not be too utilitarian. Lin Daguan talked about literature again: "I really appreciate your poems, Mr. Juzhang, such as 'In narrow alleys where soldiers meet in close quarters, killing people is like grass without hearing a sound.'

It often reminds me of the glorious days of the Rangers in the past, and it is simply a reflection of my past. "

Shen Mingchen: ""

Damn it, Lin Jiuyuan came for his own poem, how should he respond?

The sentence written by Xu Wenchang, a fellow from the same province, "The scribes compete for supremacy in the martial arts field, and the peach blossoms immediately pull out the golden spear" was forcibly occupied by Lin Jiuyuan!

The old celebrity didn't expect that chatting with Lin Jiuyuan would be so strenuous, and he felt that his emotional intelligence was not enough.

Fortunately, Officer Lin started talking to Tu Long again at this time. After all, as the host, he could not ignore other guests.

I only heard Lin Daguan say: "Our Suzhou Zhang Fengyi recommended to me the opera legends written by you, Mr. Changqing, and I have read them all.

What I admire the most is that all the male protagonists in Mr. Changqing's works have harems, wives and concubines, and finally achieve enlightenment together and never abuse their masters. "

Tu Long laughed "haha" and said, "Jiuyuan understands me! I can't stand some hypocrites who are duplicitous."

Lin Daguan is not making it up. The biggest feature of the operas and novels written by Tu Long is indeed like this.

Among contemporary literati, Tu Long may be the one best able to adapt to the online literary model hundreds of years from now.

After the opening greetings, it was time to get down to the topic. Lin Daguan coughed and said: "At this literary conference, many people did not understand my difficulties and thought that I forced the leader Wang to abdicate, so there were many dissatisfactions. Harmonious sound.

I hope that these two gentlemen can provide more guidance in this province so that Zhejiang literati can have a correct understanding of the literary conference. "

Then Lin Tailai was afraid that his expression was not clear enough, so he said very straightforwardly: "I hope that the Zhejiang scholars participating in the literary conference can only have one voice, and that is the voice to support me!"

Tu Long let go of the beauty in his hand and said seriously: "I am willing to support you Lin Jiuyuan, but I will never be with Shen Mingchen, with him without me, with me without him."

Shen Mingchen glanced at Tu Long and said to Lin Tai skillfully: "Since Chang Qing said so, there is nothing I can do."

Lin Tailai emphasized again: "As I said just now, I hope that at this literary conference, Zhejiang will have only one voice."

At this time, Zhang Fengyi, a local celebrity in Suzhou who was accompanying the guests, winked at Tu Long. They were all acquaintances in the opera circle and could help him a lot.

But Tu Long was confused and had no idea what Zhang Fengyi wanted to express.

Being dismissed from office on the charge of "licentiousness" is a great shame and humiliation, and it is absolutely impossible for the people involved to reconcile.

So no matter what, he would never be able to stand together with Shen Mingchen and speak out together.

At this time, Shen Mingchen asked Tu Long: "What do you think of Lin Jiuyuan's intentions?"

Today, this is the first time Shen Mingchen speaks to Tu Long.

Tu Long thought of another rumor that someone had just told him yesterday.

So he turned to Lin Tailai and said, "I heard that Lin Jiuyuan has been in close contact with the wealthy gentry of Songjiang Prefecture recently?"

Lin Daguan replied frankly: "It is indeed the case, and it is impossible to stop."

Tu Long stood up and said goodbye directly: "Although I have no ill intentions towards you, I forgive you for not being able to support you this time. Goodbye!"

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Fengyi shouted anxiously.

Tu Long didn't look back, waved to Zhang Fengyi coolly, and then walked out of the living room coolly.

It is a true celebrity who is free to follow the desires of his heart and be uninhibited.

The next moment, several big men suddenly jumped out from both sides, and they all started to push Tu Long down.

Then the big men skillfully tied Tu Long tightly with cowhide ropes, and at the same time stuffed a roll of cotton cloth into Tu Long's mouth to stop any possible shouting.

Before anyone else in the living room could react, these big men had already carried Tu Long and disappeared through the moon gate on the side of the courtyard.

Others may not be surprised, but Shen Mingchen, an old celebrity who was dealing with Lin Daguan for the first time, was frightened and subconsciously pointed outside, "Ah this"

But like a repeater, Lin Daguan said to Shen Mingchen: "I said that there can only be one voice in Zhejiang, so now there is only your voice."

Shen Mingchen did not correctly understand the meaning of "one voice" just now, and also thought it meant "everyone unites and speaks together."

Only now did he truly understand how to interpret the "one voice" emphasized by Lin Jiuyuan.

It turns out that by getting rid of the redundant people, there will really be only "one voice" left!

Looking at Shen Mingchen who was a bit sad, Lin Tailai consoled him: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, we just quietly transported Tu Changqing out of a side door, then put him on a ship and sent him back to Zhejiang. Other than that, he won't do anything else."

Zhang Fengyi also said worriedly: "If Tu Changqing can't think about it halfway, it will be a big sin to sit in the hall."

Lin Tailai replied: "I have arranged for four more Huabang beauties to help guard Tu Changqing along the way. If he still can't think about it, then there is nothing I can do."

Shen Mingchen was speechless. Tu Long's human weakness was so exploited.

Gao Changjiang, who was standing behind the table, jumped out to clean up the mess and said to Shen Mingchen: "Originally, one of you and Tu Long must be carried out and sent back to Zhejiang today.

Only the other one can go out safely, so congratulations to the old man! "

Official Lin turned around and scolded Gao Changjiang: "What are you talking about? This is a communication between literati, don't scare Mr. Shen with the style of the past club hall!"

What if I meet Mr. Shen’s nephew Shen Yiguan in Hanyuan of the Capital one day? "

Shen Mingchen: ""

The biggest "friend" he has ever met in his life is Xu Jie. Now he suddenly wants to know, if Lin Jiuyuan and Xu Jie were in Xiyuan Zhilu together, who would win in the end?

After sending away the dazed Shen Mingchen, Lin Daguan still had no time to spare and had to worry about strategies in all other directions.

Yuan Hongdao, the magistrate of Wu County and leader of the public security faction, came to Lin Mansion and reported: "We in Huguang are almost 50-50."

Lin Daguan sighed: "After so many years, I have conquered Suzhou's literary world, but your public security faction cannot even dominate Hubei, its base camp. I am really disappointed."

Yuan Hongdao defended: "We in Hubei have Wu Guolun, a senior figure in the retro style, who is one of the last seven sons with the same reputation as leader Wang Lao!

Although our Gong'an faction advocates the liberation of the soul and is popular among young scholars, the older scholars still revere Wu Guolun. There is nothing we can do about it.

In fact, Wu Guolun and leader Wang Lao have always been consistent, and this time will be no exception.

As long as you can deal with the old leader Wang, you will naturally win all the support of the Huguang scholars. "

Official Lin said in astonishment: "I asked you to take care of Hubei, but you said you want me to take care of Old Alliance Leader Wang first?

If I can completely defeat Alliance Leader Wang Lao, what do I need you to do to defeat Hubei?

Are you spiritual poets who are drunk and singing wildly drunk again, and you can't even understand the logic? "

Yuan Hongdao said with a guilty conscience: "Anyway, I tried my best, but I can't do it to Wu Guolun, right?"

Lin Daguan gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you really have the courage, it's not a bad idea."

At this time, Mr. Feng Er also came over and said to Lin Tai: "The Duke of Yanzhou asked me to deliver a message. I hope that while he still has energy, he can convene a meeting as soon as possible, preferably within three days."

Lin Tailai immediately realized the problem, "Has Duke Yanzhou made a decision?"

At this critical moment, Mr. Feng also reported without scruples: "I heard that at the main meeting, we will work together to elect Sun Jigao, the number one scholar in the second year of Wanli, as the new leader, but we will not make this candidate public now."

Sun Jigao? Gu Xiancheng's room master? After Lin Daguan thought for a moment, he asked the guardians on the left and right:

"Do you guys have any information that a seemingly low-key person has entered Gusuyi recently, but he can hang out with Shen Li, Zhao Yongxian, Gong Nai and others for secret conversations?

Now hurry up and send a message and ask the guy at Gusu Yi to describe this person’s height and appearance and report it to me! "

Lin Daguan had an intuition that there was an 80% chance that the person who came to Gusu Yi secretly and made secret plans was Gu Xiancheng.

Then I saw my uncle Wang Fuzun hurried over and shouted, "I tried my best!"

Lin Daguan said unhappily: "The sentence I hate hearing the most now is that I tried my best!"

Previously, my uncle's mission was to conquer Shandong. "I tried my best" means that the mission was definitely not completed.

Wang Fuzun said helplessly: "What can I do? That Gong Nai admires the power of Qingliu very much and admires all the gentlemen of Qingliu. It's useless no matter what I say.

There is just such a heavyweight in our Shandong literary world, and there is not even anyone of equal weight who can compete with him. "

Lin Daguan snorted coldly, "A person who doesn't even have an official status, but respects Qingliu so much, it's really the destiny of the earth and the heart of the sea!"

Then he took out his trump card and said: "It seems that "Jin Ping Mei" was written by someone from Shandong again?"

Wang Fuzun said hurriedly: "Gong Nai is only 30 years old now. You can't say that he wrote "Jin Ping Mei" when he was 10 years old, right?"

It's a bit unscientific. Mr. Lin sighed and said fiercely: "Then I have to do it myself.

Old Alliance Leader Wang has urged the main meeting to be held. We must deal with Gong Nai in the shortest time."

Then Mr. Lin ordered Zhang Wen, the left protector: "Prepare a big boat! It should be a little more spacious!"

Then he said to Wang Fuzun: "Can you let a few reliable Shandong scholars come forward to invite Gong Nai to drink wine?

Gong Nai also needs to guide the public opinion of scholars in the province, and he should not refuse such a gathering!"

Wang Fuzun replied puzzledly: "It's okay to arrange people, but will it be useful for Gong Nai?"

The current atmosphere is unrestrained. For scholars, drinking wine is not a scandal, not to mention that Gong Nai is not an official yet.

Mr. Lin said impatiently: "If you can't do it yourself, just follow orders and do what you are told. Why ask so many questions!"

The Wang Fuzun, who was at a loss for words, left in disgrace and went to arrange the task.

The next morning, a large boat seemed to have lost control and swayed on the surface of the Xu River outside Xumen.

Gong Nai, one of the three great men of Shanzuo and a representative of Shandong literature, woke up from a hangover and felt a splitting headache.

He tried desperately to recall how he got drunk last night, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Then he looked around and found that he was in the cabin, surrounded by four or five beauties.

This was nothing. Last night, he had been drinking wine. It was normal and reasonable to have beauties around him after waking up.

But what surprised Gong Nai was that he found an acquaintance who was in a coma among the beauties opposite!

This was Gu Xiancheng! How could he be here?

Gong Nai could be sure that when he was drinking wine yesterday, there was no Gu Xiancheng present!

You know, Gu Xiancheng is currently in mourning, and it is absolutely impossible for him to risk his reputation and come out to drink wine!

Who knocked Gu Xiancheng unconscious and moved him to this boat?

At this moment, several boats suddenly surrounded the boat, and on the bow of one of the boats, sat a strong man.

Across the water, the strong man called out, "Mr. Gong Nai, you don't want others to know that your most respected gentleman Gu Xiancheng is drinking wine with you during mourning?

Or, did you drag Gu Xiancheng, who was in mourning, on the boat to drink wine?"

Gong Nai: ""

Suffering such a huge change in a hurry, his brain has temporarily shut down and he can hardly react.

But the strong man is very patient at this time, quietly waiting for Gong Nai to wake up.

The most advanced moves are so simple and unpretentious.

Twenty or thirty menials were arranged in Gusu Posthouse. Are they used to eat dry meals?

There can only be one voice in Shandong!
