Chapter Thirteen Hongmen Banquet

 Du Ning and Li Changsheng looked at each other and sneered at Wang Run's operation.

In the name of Jieying Society, Zhao Dongcheng published "Tong Sheng Arrogance" in Nanping Wenbao to criticize Du Ning. Without Wang Run's support, that article would never have entered the editorial office of the Academy of Arts.
p>

Now Wang Run has come forward to apologize, seemingly to resolve the conflict between the two people, but in fact it is to resolve the dispute over the literary title.

If Du Ning cannot reconcile with Jieyingshe, Jieyingshe will become a clown after Du Ning's "Bamboo Stone" is publicized.

But things will be different after reconciliation. Scholars will feel that although the two sides are fighting in the literary world, they are actually tolerant of each other. They will only think that this is a sentimental matter between scholars and scholars, and it is not incompatible.

In this way, "Bamboo Stone" written by Du Ning cannot affect the reputation of Jieyingshe.

I have to say that Wang Run is really good at playing tricks.

Everyone in Hanyi Society knows that as the leader of Jieying Society, Wang Run naturally has to maintain a "gentleman" persona in front of everyone.

Zhao Donghai hurriedly said: "Brother Wang Run, you can't! Our Zhao family is upright, how can we..."

"Shut up!"

Wang Run interrupted Zhao Donghai: "Don't you all listen to what I, Wang, said? Do you still have me as the leader of the club in your eyes? Or do you think the Zhao family wants to withdraw from the Jieying Club?"<

/p>

"Brother Wang Run said something serious, we dare not."

Zhao Donghai was startled and quickly admitted his mistake.

"Then listen to my words and shake hands with Mr. Du to make peace. We can continue to compete in the Wenhui in the future. It is better to dissolve enemies than to end them. This matter has been revealed." Wang Run's tone left no room for doubt.

"Yes, yes."

Even though Zhao Donghai was extremely reluctant, he did not dare to offend a powerful man like Wang Run, otherwise their noble family would lose more than they gained.

"For Brother Wang Run's sake, I will ask Dongcheng to attend the Wangjiang Tower banquet in three days to reconcile with Mr. Du." Zhao Donghai said.

"Okay! Brother Zhao is very righteous, this is the magnanimity that a scholar should have."

Wang Run nodded with satisfaction and looked towards Du Ning: "Master Du, the Zhao family has realized their mistake, can you also give me a thin noodles?"

Du Ning glanced at Li Changsheng and wanted to hear his opinion.

Li Changsheng whispered: "Although I don't know what Wang Run has in mind, you can agree first. Since he promised to mediate for you, he will definitely not harm you on the surface, otherwise he will slap him with a slap in the face."

on the face."

Du Ning nodded lightly, cupped his hands to Wang Run and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang, for your kindness. In three days, Du will attend the banquet on time."

"Okay!"

Wang Run was very happy after hearing this and said with a smile: "In three days, we will meet at Wangjiang Tower. If anyone dares not to come, it will be a slap in the face of Jieyingshe. Don't blame Wang at that time.

Don’t miss old feelings.”

This sentence was obviously meant for both parties, but after hearing it, Du Ning felt that the other party had said this to him on purpose.

"Could this be the Hongmen Banquet?"

Du Ning was puzzled. He always felt that Wang Run invited him because of something else.

"That's it for today. Don't mention it again in the future. Let's all leave!"

After Wang Run finished speaking, he took the students from Jieying Society and left.

"I have offended many people today, please forgive me Mr. Du."

"Farewell."

Zhao Donghai handed over to Du Ning and Li Changsheng, and then left with the Zhao family scholars.

This farce has finally come to an end.

"Mr. Wan, why are you here?"

The sudden sword made the crowd look surprised, and at the same time they saw an Hanlin walking over.

It was Wan Hanlin who was observing in secret. When he saw that Zhao Donghai and others were about to attack Du Ning, he couldn't help but step forward to stop them.

But at the critical moment, Li Changsheng and others arrived, so they did not show up.

After Jieyingshe and the Zhao family scholars left, he walked out from behind.

"Mr. Wan."

Everyone bowed and saluted.

Wan Hanlin bowed his hands to everyone, and then asked: "Who is Du Mingzhou, the author of "Bamboo and Stone"?"

"Student Du Ning, I met Mr. Wan."

Du Ning stepped forward to reply. He had heard of the literary name "Mr. Wan". He was a copywriter who collected and sorted out materials for poetry and articles in the Imperial Academy of Literature, and was a powerful assistant in the editing and editing of the Academy of Arts.

"Du Mingzhou, I have something important to tell you. Please take a moment to speak." Wan Hanlin said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng and others hurriedly avoided and walked far away.

Wan Hanlin walked into the small courtyard of Du Ning's family, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he whispered: "Wan is so abrupt, can I take a look at the original manuscript of "Bamboo and Stone"?"

"This..."

Du Ning looked at the other party strangely, and then he felt relieved. He wrote "Bamboo and Stone" in the Academy of Arts, and as the copywriter, he naturally knew it.

But, why does the other party want to see the original manuscript?

If it weren't for Wan Hanlin's well-known literary reputation in Nanping Mansion, Du Ning would have doubted whether Wan Hanlin had evil intentions towards "Bamboo and Stone".

"Mr. Wan, wait a moment."

Du Ning immediately returned to the room and retrieved the original manuscript of "Bamboo and Stone".

After Wan Hanlin read it, he recited it softly, and a very mysterious crisp sound came from the palace.

"Sure enough, it is hard work and courage!"

Wan Hanlin's literary courage vibrated and he was extremely excited.

But the next moment, he sighed again: "The poem is a good poem, but it's a pity that the word is written..."

Du Ning suddenly blushed and whispered: "Mr. Wan was made to laugh."

Wan Hanlin reluctantly returned "Bamboo and Stone" to Du Ning and said seriously: "Your Mingzhou Dandan poem is extraordinary. After the three adults in the editing room recited your "Bamboo and Stone" today,

I have also gained a lot of benefits from it. You have contributed a lot to creating this courageous poem for readers. Please accept my gratitude."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Du Ning.

Du Ning also hurriedly bowed and returned the greeting: "Sir, your words are serious, and the students are ashamed."

The two of them raised their chests and raised their heads again.

Wan Hanlin continued: "Everyone is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade. Now that you have no fame, it may not be a good thing for you to have "Bamboo and Stone" in your hands."

Du Ning's expression changed, and he felt that Wan Hanlin seemed to have something on his mind.

"What Mr. Wan means, maybe someone wants to..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Du Ning boldly imagined that maybe even Wang Run was interested in this Mingzhou Dan Dan poem. Otherwise, how could Wang Run mediate between the two parties in the name of Jieyingshe?

Sure enough, there will be a Hongmen Banquet at Wangjiang Tower in three days.

"Please give me Mr. Wan's advice," Du Ning said with cupped hands.

"Mr. Dongfang and three other editors have jointly reported it to the Suzhou Academy of Literature. During this period, you must protect "Bamboo Stone" and wait until the Suzhou Academy of Arts sends someone to deal with it."

Wan Hanlin said: "Mingzhou's courage-refining poems are of infinite use. If you take the initiative to donate them to the Academy of Literature and keep them in the Yunguo Academy so that many students can refine their courage, scholars all over the world will be grateful to you and promote your literary name.

, let you have a place in the literary world."

"But if you want to donate it to the court, it must go through the hands of the Yamen. Once this happens, the Yamen will have many ways to seize it or even take it for themselves."

"You have no fame now, and the government has many ways to bully you, so you have to be careful."

Du Ning suddenly realized that Wang Run was so scheming and had such disgusting methods behind him.

Wan Hanlin added: ""Bamboo Stone" was created by you. No matter which party you plan to donate to, it is up to you to make your own decision."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't donate. As long as you say 'no', no one will dare to force you. However, the Jieying Society uses this to attack your literary name, saying that you are not a human being or a scholar, or that you are not a human being or a scholar.

Your selfishness and so on have made you criticized by everyone in the literary world."

"The student understands what Mr. Wan means."

Du Ning nodded lightly. The so-called criticism is nothing more than some moral kidnapping.

It seems fair, but is actually disgusting.

"As long as you understand."

Wan Hanlin said: "I have already said what needs to be said. Du Mingzhou cannot mention the content of the conversation between you and me today to a third party, so as not to get burned."

"Don't worry, students, I will definitely keep this matter secret and will never reveal anything like it to others." Du Ning said seriously.

"That's good. Du Mingzhou will pretend that he has never seen me today, and Wan will say goodbye."

Wan Hanlin handed over to Du Ning and left quickly.

"Mr. Wan, please walk slowly."

Out of politeness, Du Ning bowed to each other.

Jieyingshe.

"Brother Wang Run, I really can't figure out why you want us to turn our feud with Du Ning into friendship. If it weren't for him, my brother Dongcheng would never be lying unconscious at home now. If I don't avenge this revenge, I, Zhao

The family will suffer great shame and humiliation and become a joke among the powerful elites of Nanping Prefecture."

Zhao Donghai complained to Wang Run, his face full of dissatisfaction and unwillingness.

Wang Run asked the Zhao family to reconcile with Du Ning, but they were extremely reluctant.

"Hmph! Who says I sincerely want you to reconcile with Du Ning? This is just a delaying tactic on my part."

Wang Run said solemnly: "The "Bamboo and Stone" written by Du Ning is a rare Mingzhou gallbladder poem in a century. This poem may be published in "Suzhou Wenbao" in the future. Once Du Ning's literary fame spreads far and wide, it will be known all over the world.

The target of the scholar's abuse is not Du Ning, but us. Fortunately, you are still scholars of Jieyingshe. You don't even have this little foresight. How can you do great things in the future and become the pillar of the imperial court!"

"But..."

Zhao Donghai gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but soon relaxed them.

"I know you are very unwilling, but if you want to deal with Du Ning, we actually have many ways."

Wang Run patiently explained: "Du Ning's "Bamboo and Stone" has a strange courage-refining effect on scholars. Since he is a scholar in Yun State, he should donate "Bamboo and Stone" to the court to fulfill his benevolence and righteousness as a scholar.



"That's it, Brother Wang is wise!"

Zhao Donghai suddenly realized, and then he said worriedly: "But... what if Du Ning is unwilling to donate "Bamboo Stone" to the court?"

"Then he is a selfish and despicable villain who does not want to serve the country. He will be criticized verbally and writtenly by the entire literary world. No matter how good his poems and articles are, he will not be able to wash away the stain on his literary name. He will become a shame to the literary world.

!" Wang Run said proudly.
