Chapter 318: Self-degradation to the position of Confucianism and Taoism
Ke Changzheng is a Confucian and Taoist scholar, but he actually wants to withdraw from the status of a scholar and drop to the rank of Hanlin to compete with Du Ningwen!
At this moment, scholars from all over the world looked at Ke Changzheng in disbelief, almost unable to believe what they heard.
You must know that Chang Ke is a bachelor and a very talented scholar in the Ke family. If he works hard for a few more years, he is very likely to reach the realm of Confucianism.
However, today, Ke Changzheng actually chose to demote himself to Confucianism and Taoism in order to help the Liao Kingdom. This also means that Ke Changzheng gave up the possibility of becoming a great Confucian in the future.
Demoting yourself to the position of Confucianism and Taoism is a scholar's denial of himself. From now on, Ke Changzheng will always be just an Hanlin scholar, and will not even have the chance to return to the bachelor's degree.
This is not only a huge price to pay for Ke Changzheng himself, but also a huge price to pay for the entire Ke family.
Du Ning suddenly realized at this time, no wonder the Liao Kingdom did not allow the tenth Hanlin to appear. It turned out that there was a plan arranged in it to demote a bachelor to Wen Dou.
Although Ke Changzheng will fall to the rank of Hanlin afterwards, before he completely falls to the rank of Hanlin, all his cultivation and strength are still at the level of a bachelor.
"Mr. Ke, you are crazy, do you know what you are doing!" Du Ning shouted coldly.
"Haha..."
Ke Changzheng laughed loudly: "You didn't listen to my good words. Now you finally know how to be afraid! In the face of my absolute strength, you have no chance of winning. In the last round, I will be your opponent!"
”
Du Ning's expression was even more serious.
Fan Rulong said angrily: "It's ridiculous! A great scholar actually demoted himself to Wen Dou. You, the Liao Kingdom, really can't afford to lose. In order to win Wen Dou, you actually used such despicable tactics. Even if Du Ning loses, you can win."
No force!"
Tian Feipeng echoed: "That's right! Even if you lower yourself to the Hanlin realm, your cultivation level will not fall to the Hanlin realm immediately. If you want to defeat Du Ning with the strength of a bachelor, you are really a good person.
Abacus!"
Chief Ke looked embarrassed and angry, and said loudly: "Do you think I want to do this? This is all Du Ning's fault. If he hadn't been so aggressive, why would I have done this? I persuaded Du Ning to give up literature.
But he insists on going his own way. If this is the case, then I can only teach him a lesson personally and let him understand that the literary world of Liao Dynasty cannot be bullied!"
"What a joke! If you people from the Liao Kingdom hadn't framed Du Ning repeatedly, why would Du Ning have come to the Liao Kingdom to fight? It's all your own fault. How can you blame Du Ning?" Fu Yue scolded. p>
Chief Ke was getting angry with shame, but he was too lazy to pay attention to them, and was about to withdraw from Confucianism and Taoism.
Suddenly, a Liao man said loudly: "No! I don't agree to let the Ke family's bachelors lower themselves to Confucian status to fight with Du Ningwen. Isn't it enough that the Ke family is embarrassed?"
"What did you say!"
When Ke Changzheng heard this, he flew into a rage and let out a hysterical roar. This was not only questioning his strength, but also saying that he would most likely lose to Du Ning.
"You're right! Originally, we Liao people were so proud in front of the Yun people, but since the Ke family suffered repeated defeats, they have completely lost all the face of us Liao people. Now, the Ke family actually wants to humiliate us Liao people again.
I don’t agree with the face of Chinese people either!”
"Ke Changzheng, you are not worthy of representing the Liao Kingdom in the civil war. We can no longer trust you. Please retreat!"
"Don't let scholars from other countries see the jokes of us Liao people again!"
Many people in the Liao people spoke loudly and opposed Ke Changzheng's participation in the civil war. Even though they believed that Ke Changzheng's ability could defeat Du Ning, it was precisely because the Ke family had lost so many people in the Liao country that they no longer dared to trust the Ke family.
.
If they lose again, all the scholars in the Liao Kingdom will feel inferior. Even in front of the scholars in the Yun Kingdom, they will feel inferior and lack the self-confidence of the past.
The people of Liao didn't want to lose so miserably.
Ke Changzheng was furious. He risked his life for the dignity of the Liao literary world and decided to lower himself to Confucianism and Taoism to fight with Du Ning. However, he did not expect that the Liao people present would not appreciate it. This was the greatest rejection and rejection of him.
Humiliation.
"Gu Xuezheng, please quickly arrange for other Hanlin officials to come and fight with Du Ning. We would rather the Liao Kingdom lose an open and honest fight than use such despicable means to win the literary fight. This will make our Liao Kingdom's literary world become the influence of the entire human race.
What a joke!" someone suggested.
Gu Xing said sternly: "When the Guoxue Palace was selecting ten literary scholars, it had reserved a place for Mr. Ke as a candidate. Mr. Ke voluntarily sacrificed his position as a bachelor for the sake of our Liao literary world. We
His righteousness should be fulfilled."
"What! So it turns out that the Chinese Academy of Sciences had already made this arrangement?"
"How can this be so! How can this be so!"
"Even if Ke Changzheng wins Wen Dou, it will be a weak victory, but what if he loses? If he loses to Du Ning, wouldn't we, the Liao Academy, slap ourselves in the face?" Hearing this, Gu Xing showed displeasure and retorted: "How can you exaggerate the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige? Mr. Ke was originally a Confucian and Taoist scholar. Even if he lowered his moral status to fight with Du Ning, he could still show his power.
With strength, we will definitely be able to defeat Du Ning and restore the dignity of our Liao literary world as much as possible."
"What if we lose? What if Mr. Ke loses?"
"Mr. Ke will not lose and cannot lose. Mr. Ke will definitely win this battle!"
Gu Xing's face was full of determination and confidence, and he cast an extremely contemptuous look at Du Ning.
Many people in the Liao Kingdom are very helpless. The Guoxue Palace supports Ke Changzheng in fighting Du Ningwen on behalf of the Liao Kingdom, so no matter what they say, it will be of no use. They can only point fingers behind their backs.
Ke Chang was facing Du Ning, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and then a clear voice came from his literary palace.
"Kacha..."
A trace of blood showed at the corner of Ke Changzheng's mouth, and then his academic status dropped to that of a Hanlin scholar.
"Now that I have been demoted to the Imperial Academy, I am qualified to fight with you in literature. Please give me Du Jun's advice." Ke Changzheng raised his hand to Du Ning.
"In that case, I'm here to learn about Mr. Ke's cultivation. I hope you won't lose as miserably as you did when you came to Suzhou, Yun Kingdom, last year for a literary fight."
Du Ning accepted Ke Changzheng's challenge with bright eyes.
Hearing Du Ning mention what happened last year, Ke Changzheng's eyes revealed crazy hatred, which was an indelible shame in his life.
"When Du Jun speaks like this, he really doesn't take me, Ke Changzheng, seriously!" Ke Changzheng said in a deep voice.
"I really look down on you." Du Ning said rudely.
"You..."
Hearing this, Ke Changzheng was so furious that his teeth chattered with hatred.
Fan Rulong said: "Du Jun must not be reckless. Although Ke Changzheng deposed himself as a bachelor and lowered himself to the rank of Hanlin, his talent and strength have not completely declined. Your literary fight with him is no different from that of a bachelor. You
You can completely ask the Liao Academy to send other Hanlins to appear."
Du Ning responded: "Don't worry, with Ke Changzheng's cultivation, he may not be able to defeat me."
Fan Rulong said: "But you can't be too careless. After all, the opponent's strength is still at the level of a bachelor. It will not be easy to defeat him."
"I have my own sense of proportion." Du Ning said confidently.
"Haha... What a joke, I can't beat you? Du Jun is not afraid of the wind blowing his tongue."
Ke Changzheng's face was full of contempt, "I know you killed Dongtianshan in the Three Realms Mountains, but so what? How can Dongtianshan's cultivation and strength be compared to mine? If you can kill Dongtianshan, you may not be my opponent.
."
Du Ning retorted: "Just like last year, did you think you could easily defeat Yue Tianyi?"
Ke Changzheng suddenly changed his expression. At first, he really thought that he could easily defeat Yue Tianyi and thought that Yue Tianyi was not his opponent, but in the end he was easily defeated by Yue Tianyi.
The meaning of Du Ning's words is that Ke Changzheng thinks that he can defeat Du Ning, but he will lose to Du Ning just like he lost to Yue Tianyi in a fight with Yue Tianyi.
"Presumptuous! Even if you are a human lord, no matter how strong your cultivation is, in the final analysis you are still a Hanlin cultivation. There is no way you can be my opponent!"
Ke Changzheng felt angry again and found it very funny. Du Ning actually dared to compare with Yue Tianyi. He was really too arrogant.
"You two, stop talking nonsense."
Gu Xing said slowly: "The tenth literary battle will be held next, and literary friends from all countries present will have to bear witness. If you are ready, then start as soon as possible. After all, Lord Wenjun still has a lot to do.
, we have to send him back to Kongcheng as soon as possible."
Ke Changzheng said with a smile: "Please rest assured Gu Xuezheng, I will send him back to Kongcheng immediately, and I will never let him stay here for too long."
"That's good."
Gu Xing nodded with satisfaction, a smile on his face.
A Ke family scholar said loudly: "Ke Changzheng will win! The Liao Kingdom will win! The Liao Kingdom's literary world will win!"
"The Liao Kingdom must win! The Liao Kingdom must win!"
Some Liao people also shouted, but the number was not large, and it did not sound as powerful as expected.
The Ke family member who shouted the slogan suddenly felt quite embarrassed.
Why don't many people in Liao want to cheer for Ke Changzheng? But they really can't get rid of that old face.
It's really embarrassing.
"Stop shouting! You Ke family are not ashamed, but we still feel embarrassed!"
"Every time it's your Ke family who makes trouble. If Ke Changzheng still loses this time, see if I will tear down your Ke family's sign!"
"This time, you Ke family better not lose again!"
The people of Liao State scolded one after another.
The Ke family member held his head high and was extremely confident in Ke Changzheng. He looked at Du Ning with disdain and said to everyone: "Don't worry, our Mr. Ke Changzheng will definitely defeat Du Ning and restore our literary world in Liao."
