Ye Jinghong said to Yan Song: "I killed Cai Hanlin. If you officials of the Xianwang Party want to avenge him, just come to Suzhou Literary Academy to find me, and I will kill each one."
An icy chill enveloped Yan Song's heart, and he was extremely angry. As a member of the wise king party, he was actually threatened by a great scholar who was not above the court.
This is really shameful and angry!
"Mr. Ye's words are serious. This matter is ultimately Cai Shi's fault."
Yan Song had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow them in his own stomach.
There is no way, Ye Jinghong is famous all over the world, even Emperor Jingwen criticized him when he was young, which is disrespectful.
However, Emperor Jingwen praised Ye Jinghong for his harsh words. Instead of blaming him, he greatly appreciated him and corrected his mistakes.
Emperor Jingwen is now seriously ill, and the princes are fighting openly and secretly to win the throne, all trying to become the next heir to the throne.
If you offend a very famous person in the literary world at this juncture, it will most likely affect the prince's succession.
I'm afraid that even if this matter comes to the Eight Wise Kings, the Eight Wise Kings will just hold their noses and admit it.
"Be more at ease with me in the future, otherwise I won't mind asking the Guoxue Palace to replace the president of Fuwen Academy." Ye Jinghong warned.
Yan Song's expression changed greatly. He had been in the Academy of Arts for many years and did not serve in the imperial court, just to take charge of the literary world for the Eight Wise Kings.
After the Eight Wise Kings ascend the throne, they will definitely promote Yan Song to serve in the imperial court, and he will rise to prominence from then on.
Now being threatened by Ye Jinghong made Yan Song a little panicked.
After Ye Jinghong said those words of warning, he turned around and left.
Du Ning glanced at Wang Run and others, snorted coldly, and left with Li Changsheng and the students of Hanyi Club.
In Wangjiang Tower, there was only a group of people left filled with grief and anger.
"Bang!"
Wang Run smashed the table with one palm, and his expression became a little ferocious because of his anger.
He remembered today's humiliation and must let Duning repay it twice as much in the future.
…………
"Thank you gentlemen for your help. The students are very grateful."
In a remote alley, Du Ning bowed to Ye Jinghong and others.
"Thank you, gentlemen."
Li Changsheng and the Hanyi Society students also bowed and bowed.
Ye Jinghong said: "There is no need to thank me, I am just doing things for the Chinese Academy of Sciences. If you want to thank me, thank Mr. Dongfang and the others. They were the ones who told me about you writing "Bamboo and Stone", so I informed you right away.
Guoxue Palace, and get the documents from Guoxue Palace and come to Nanping Mansion."
"Thank you three gentlemen."
Du Ning hurriedly thanked the three editors from the School of Liberal Arts.
Dongfang Xiong said with a smile: "You have a great talent, and you will definitely become a great person in the future. I have read the three Mingzhou poems you wrote at the Xuemei Cultural Conference, and I admire them."
"Brother Dongfang's words are absolutely true. Nowadays, the rich and powerful are rampant and the students from poor families are struggling. It is not easy to produce a great talent. If Confucianism and Taoism are destroyed, it will not only be a loss for our country of Yun, but also a loss for the human race."
"Yes! It's a good thing that Brother Dongfang was alert and knew that your creation of "Bamboo and Stone" in the liberal arts academy caused a rift in Zhao Dongcheng's literary palace. He was worried that you would offend the powerful and that the Jieying Society was planning to harm you, so he hurriedly contacted Mr. Ye." "Lao Wan told us that Wang Run was going to hold a banquet at Wangjiang Tower, so we and Mr. Ye arrived near Wangjiang Tower early in the morning to see how they would target you. I didn't expect that Cai Shi would actually do this to you.
If you write, this will also allow Mr. Ye to get rid of the minions of the Xian Wang Party."
The three editors talked to each other, and Du Ning roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Wang Run and others have evil intentions, but there is still justice in this world.
"The Party of the Wise King..."
Li Changsheng's expression was serious and he said slowly: "The Eight Wise Kings are thirsty for talents. They are courteous to virtuous officials. They not only have great political achievements in the court, but are also well-known in the literary world. They are benevolent and righteous people. Although Cai Shi is despicable, but..." p>
"A man of righteousness?"
Ye Jinghong and others looked at each other, and finally shook their heads without saying anything.
Li Changsheng also shut up, realizing that he was being rude. He had a reputation but had not yet entered an official career. It was really inappropriate to speak nonsense about others in front of Ye Jinghong and others.
What's more, these people have different personalities from Yan Song and others. The same person will have different views in the eyes of different people.
The person you think is a gentleman is a villain in the eyes of others.
But people you think are villains are regarded by others as gentlemen.
The truth about right and wrong cannot be explained clearly in just a few words.
Ye Jinghong and others have their own reasons for opposing the Wise Kings Party. If Li Changsheng speaks well for the Eight Wise Kings, Ye Jinghong will definitely be disgusted.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, please forgive me."
Li Changsheng bowed to the ground and apologized very solemnly to the three of them.
"That's all! You are not a member of the court, so I won't blame you." Ye Jinghong said.
"Thank you Mr. Ye."
Li Changsheng said: "Li Changsheng is not talented. He is an eighth-rank scholar in Confucianism and Taoism. He passed the state examination in the 36th year of Jingwen and became the head of Hanyi Club in Nanping Prefecture. If you, gentlemen, are asked to do anything in the future, I will do my best to repay today's achievements."
Yes."
After the words fell, everyone smiled.
These words seemed like he wanted to repay them, but in fact he was telling them about his family status to leave an impression on them. If Li Changsheng was really needed in the future, they would only need to make a small introduction to help Li Changsheng enter his official career. p>
It has to be said that Li Changsheng's operation immediately broadened his path.
They had a clear view of what was going on in Wangjiang Tower, so they did not have the slightest doubt about Li Changsheng's character.
Those who are close to vermilion are red, those who are close to ink are black.
Du Ning is still proud and proud, how could Li Changsheng be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?
With so many students in Hanyi Club, aren’t they all blind?
"It's enough for Li Juren to have this kind of heart." Ye Jinghong said.
Li Changsheng looked a little disappointed. He did have some selfish motives, but mostly it was because he had a desire to repay and had the ambition to serve the country.
This belief made his literary courage very clear and spotless.
"It's getting late, I should leave, you can take care of yourself!"
A flat blue cloud rose under Ye Jinghong's feet, turning into a ray of light and flying towards the distant sky.
"Farewell to the great scholar Mr. Ye."
…………
The news about Wangjiang Tower quickly spread, causing a sensation among the literati in Nanping Prefecture.
In the streets and alleys, many scholars are criticizing Cai Shi.
Under the guise of the Guoxue Palace, he forced Du Ning to hand over "Bamboo and Stone", but he actually took it for himself.
After Du Ning refused, Cai Shi criticized Du Ning and wanted to destroy Du Ning's Confucianism.
As a result, Ye Jinghong took action, killed Cai Shi, and in the name of the Guoxue Palace, paid Du Ning's "Bamboo Stone" manuscript to the Guoxue Palace for one thousand taels in silver.
Those who followed Cai Shi's writings also became a joke after dinner in Nanping Mansion.
Do you think Du Ning kept "Bamboo and Stone" privately? He didn't donate it to the imperial court?
I think you are greedy for profit and want to take something by force in the name of a high-sounding name.
In the past few days, due to the turmoil, the students of Jieying Society have rarely dared to go out.
What happened is so embarrassing.
Yan Song published Cai Shi's behavior in the "Nanping Wenbao" in the name of Fuwen Yuan, severely denounced Cai Shi as a Hanlin scholar for doing such a sinful thing.
At the same time, Yan Song also published an article in Nanping Wenbao, praising Du Ning for his creation of "Bamboo and Stone", which made great contributions to the human race and became a model for scholars in Nanping Prefecture.
In words, he praised Du Ning very highly.
Praise!
The higher you lift Du Ning up, the harder he will fall.
The scholar in Hanyi Club sneered in his heart. Yan Song and Cai Shi were both in the same boat. The reason why he did this was simply because he was afraid that Cai Shi's affairs would affect him, so he hurriedly showed his attitude and drew a clear line with Cai Shi.
Yan Song is a member of the Xian Wang Party, and the Eight Xian Wangs value reputation. Once Yan Song ruins his reputation, even if the Eight Xian Wangs are established as princes in the future, he will not be reused.
On the other hand, after "Bamboo Stone" was included in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it was published in "Yunjing Wenbao".
Scholars in the capital also read the poem "Bamboo and Stone".
In just a few days, it has won unanimous praise from countless readers.
Some prestigious literary scholars and scholars in the capital also published their own articles and praised "Bamboo and Stone".
Beijing Imperial Palace.
Prince Xian’s Mansion.
"The Eighth Prince, Cai Shi of Nanping Mansion was beheaded by Ye Jinghong, a great scholar in Suzhou."
A Hanlin official handed an official document to a man wearing a yellow robe.
"What? Cai Shi was killed by Ye Jinghong?"
The man in yellow robe was very surprised. He took the official document and read its contents, frowning slightly.
"Eighth Prince, Ye Jinghong is really too presumptuous. He knew that Cai Shi was your disciple, but he killed Cai Shi in public. As long as you raise your arms and call out, the civil and military officials of the whole court will definitely respond and criticize Ye Jinghong.
Seek justice.”
"Hmph! Ye Jinghong is not an easy person. He has made great contributions to the imperial court and is very famous in the literary world. It will be of no benefit to us if we break up with him."
The Eighth Sage King said solemnly: "My father's illness is getting more and more serious. It is a troubled time now. If anything happens at this juncture, it will cause a lot of trouble."
The Hanlin officials suddenly realized that the Eight Sage King was worried that if things got serious, it would indirectly affect his reputation.
Now that the crown prince's position has not been determined, the princes are also secretly forming cliques and forming party members.
If you make a slight mistake, you will miss out on being crown prince.
Now that the government and the public are in turmoil, the Eight Wise Kings must stabilize themselves. As long as he stabilizes the situation, the position of prince will be his.
But the Hanlin official was still unwilling to accept it and said slowly: "But Your Majesty, Cai Shi has been working for you for many years, and he has worked hard without any credit. He cannot die in vain."
"So this king will treat his family well."
The Eight Wise Kings said: "We must tolerate this matter. After I ascend to the throne, I will have the opportunity to settle accounts with Ye Jinghong. If I don't tolerate it, I will mess up the big plan."
The Hanlin officials were silent, with a flash of sadness and anger in their eyes.
"Your Majesty is wise." The Hanlin official said no more in the end.
