Ye Jinghong continued: "Du Ning is still very young and has excellent potential. It is the golden age for training. If the Xian Wang Party supports Du Ning to become an official, Du Ning can enter the court as soon as possible to train.
, one day he will surely achieve great success and benefit the people of Yun Kingdom. However, the officials of the Xian Wang Party are short-sighted, avenge their private grievances, and use various reasons to prevent them from becoming officials. If a scholar does not become an official, how can he practice? How can he become a talent?"
"That's why Du Ning wrote the song "Xiaosong" to satirize the virtuous king and his party members. People with short-sightedness will not regard "Xiaosong" as a pillar of talent, but will only appoint some corrupt officials under the guise of
He has a high-sounding name, but he does things that harm the people. The Nanping Mansion case is the best example!"
"That's it!"
After this appreciation, many people suddenly realized.
"Master Du once wrote an article called "Ma Shuo" to support the country. If you read it carefully, you will find that it is similar to "Xiao Song"."
"A virtuous king does not have a large number of great talents. He is narrow-minded, short-sighted and selfish. He is in vain to be called 'virtuous'."
"Well said!"
Many scholars criticized.
Du Ning's "Xiaosong" criticizes the Xian Wang and his party, but it is also a poem about subjugating the country. Once it spreads to the capital, the reputation of Xian Wang will be greatly damaged, which will be enough to make many aristocratic families who support the Xian Wang switch to the sects of other princes. It was understandable that the wise king prevented Du Ning from becoming an official, but he forgot about Du Ning's reputation and status in the literary world.
Scholars complain when they feel unjust and express their emotions through poetry.
Du Ning is now the fifth-rank earl. Even if the emperor makes a mistake, he can still criticize it through poetry. This is a normal method for scholars to fight against corrupt officials in the literary world.
Some scholars from aristocratic families who supported the Xian Wang Party looked extremely ugly, especially those from the Ji family, who were gnashing their teeth secretly.
Ji Changan was also at the celebration banquet. He had his legs broken by General Wang and was thrown at the door of his home. The Ji family dared not speak out in anger, and they did not even dare to fart.
The Wenzong family is just an aristocratic family, how dare they challenge Yue Tianyi who has 200,000 soldiers?
The Wenzong family did not blame Yue Tianyi, but used continuous medicine to restore Ji Changan's broken leg to its original state.
Ji Changan was reluctant to come to the celebration banquet today, but he had excessively praised Du Ning in the "Suzhou Wenbao" before. If he did not come to the celebration banquet, the scholars in Suzhou would expose his plan of "killing someone with a borrowed knife".<
/p>
Therefore, Ji Changan has to come even if he doesn’t come.
Now I see Du Ning writing a poem to criticize the wise king, and I am furious, but I dare not say another word for fear that Yue Tianyi will break his legs again.
"Speaking of which, I should also thank Mr. Ji Chang'an from the Wenzong family. If he hadn't given up the position of leader of the dragon boat race, I wouldn't have had the chance to win glory for the country in the dragon boat race. Therefore, I should give Mr. Ji a bowl of wine."<
/p>
Du Ning raised his wine bowl and faced Ji Changan and said, "Mr. Ji, please."
Ji Changan felt really sick in his heart, but on the surface he had to pretend to be smiling. He picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Young Master Du is so polite, fuck you."
The two drank the wine.
Du Ning added: "I heard that Mr. Ji accidentally broke both of his legs. I wonder if he is feeling better now?"
Ji Changan cursed in his heart. His leg was obviously broken by Wang Pianjiang, but Du Ning said it was broken by himself, which was insinuating that he had brought it upon himself.
"It has been reconnected. Don't worry, Mr. Du." Ji Changan gritted his teeth and said.
"Look more carefully when you walk in the future, be careful, and be sure not to break your leg again." Du Ning added.
"You..."
Ji Changan was about to spit out blood. Du Ning's words really hurt his self-esteem.
"Haha..."
Many readers laughed out loud.
The Ji family members lowered their heads, feeling very embarrassed.
Everyone stopped laughing and continued eating.
At this moment, an extremely powerful voice came down from the sky: "Ke Changzhi, a great scholar from a semi-sage family in the Liao Kingdom, take the liberty to disturb you!"
"Ke Changzhi? A great scholar of Liao Dynasty?"
"Why did a great scholar from the Liao Kingdom come here?"
Everyone present looked shocked.
"The Ke family didn't come earlier or later, but if they come at this time, I'm afraid the person who comes is not good!" Ling Zongde said with an ugly face.
"The Ke family generally won't come to Yunguo, let alone Suzhou. Once they come, it's probably because of Ke Hongxiu's literary courage." Ye Jinghong hit the nail on the head.
"Bang!"
Yue Tianyi suddenly slammed the table and said: "If you dare to act recklessly in Suzhou, believe it or not, I will make it impossible for them to come back!"
"General, don't get excited, let's take a look first and then talk." Ling Zongde said.
Dozens of cloud lights flew from the sky and quickly landed on the square in Suzhou.
The leader is a middle-aged Confucian, and the others are Confucian, Taoist, and Hanlin scholars, and all of them are from the Ke family.
Ke Hongxiu is also among them.
"You guys eat first, I'll take care of the literary matters."
Ye Jinghong stood up and walked towards the Ke family opposite, followed closely by the bachelors and Hanlin from the State Academy of Arts.
"My Lord, Ye Jinghong, would like to welcome all the visitors from the Liao Kingdom. I apologize for not having traveled far to welcome you." Ye Jinghong stepped forward and held his hands.
"It turns out to be the famous Mr. Ye from Suzhou. I have admired him for a long time." Ke Changzhi also returned the favor.
The bachelors and Hanlin officials from both sides have also met each other, but the atmosphere is still very tense, as if there is a smell of gunpowder.
Many people put down their wine bowls and chopsticks and cast unkind glances at the Ke family.
"I would like to ask Mr. Ke why he came all the way to Suzhou?" Ye Jinghong asked straight to the point.
Ke Changzhi said arrogantly: "Ke is here to investigate the fragmentation of my family's Ke Hongxiu's literary courage. I also ask Mr. Ye to give a satisfactory explanation to our Ke family for the sake of friendship between the two countries."
After the words fell, Ye Jinghong showed an expression of "as expected".
"What do you want to explain?" Ye Jinghong's eyes narrowed.
"Who is Du Ning? Let him come out to see me."
Ke Changzhi's tone seemed to be a little commanding, which made everyone present feel very uncomfortable.
At the same time, Ke Hongxiu's eyes swept across the crowd, and he quickly discovered Du Ning's position. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and an angry light burst out from his eyes.
Du Ning stood up slowly, walked out and said, "Du Ning is here, what do you want from me?"
"It turns out that you are Du Ning. You are brave enough to dare to stand up at this time."
Ke Changzhi looked at Du Ning and said: "Master Du, I want to ask you, was it you who broke Ke Hongxiu's literary courage?"
Du Ning's face changed slightly, and he said slowly: "Mr. Ke misunderstood. On the day of the dragon boat battle, I did not break Ke Hongxiu's literary courage. He broke it on his own because he could not bear the abuse of the Liao people after the failure of the dragon boat battle."
."
"Unbridled! Talking nonsense in broad daylight!"
"Bold! How dare you slander our Ke family like this!"
The Ke family members shouted angrily, their eyes widened and they were very angry.
As a scholar from a semi-sage family in the Liao Kingdom, his literary talent was heartbroken by the people of the Liao Kingdom. This is a great shame and humiliation for the Ke family, and it is also an unacceptable fact.
"Master Du, the matter has come to this, and you are still making excuses?"
Ke Changzhi sneered: "Ke Hongxiu, tell me!"
"Yes, uncle."
Ke Hongxiu pointed at Du Ning and said viciously: "On the day of the dragon boat battle, my literary courage was cracked by Du Ning's literary courage. It was he who made me become a scholar without literary courage!"
Du Ning suddenly realized, and realized that the other party was here to carry out forcible "correction", and put the blame on Du Ning's head for the Liao people's abuse of Ke Hongxiu, which caused his literary courage to break, in order to save the face of the semi-saint family.
"Fart!"
Yue Tianyi stood up and pointed at Ke Hongxiu and said: "I didn't expect that a scholar from a dignified semi-sage family would dare to confuse right and wrong like this. On the day of the dragon boat battle, the whole city was watched. Your literary courage was scolded to pieces by you Liao people.
To actually slander Du Ning in turn, you are really worse than a beast!"
"Presumptuous!"
Ke Changzhi looked at Yue Tianyi and said in a deep voice: "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"
"So brave!"
Yue Tianyi sneered and said: "How dare you speak to me like this in Suzhou? Do you believe that my words will prevent you from leaving Suzhou city?"
"Haha..."
The Ke family laughed loudly, as if they had heard the funniest joke.
"What did you say? One sentence will prevent us from leaving Suzhou City?"
"How dare you, just a bachelor, be so arrogant in front of a great scholar!"
Yue Tianyi raised his hand gently: "Here comes someone!"
As soon as the words fell, dozens of Hanlin officials suddenly stood up. Their Wen Palaces exuded the aura of the Wen Palace ancient swords, and they had already locked onto the Ke family.
These are military strategists, and their ancient Wen Gong swords have experienced hundreds of battles. Once they are unsheathed, they are bound to see blood.
The faces of the Ke family members all changed, and some showed expressions of disbelief.
They were members of a semi-saint family. Could it be that Yue Tianyi really dared to issue an order that would prevent them from leaving Suzhou City?
Not to mention the outcome, once Yue Tian gives the order to start fighting, it will be a slap in the face of the Semi-Saint family.
"Presumptuous! How dare you!"
"I advise you not to be impulsive!"
"Stop it!"
The Ke family members shouted angrily, not because they were afraid, but because they really did not want the Ke family members to be driven out by the Yun people using Wen Gong ancient swords as soon as they arrived in Suzhou City.
In that case, they will become the laughing stock of scholars from all over the world.
Ke Hongxiu pointed at Yue Tianyi and said: "Uncle, he is Yue Tianyi. It was he who broke my two front teeth on the day of the dragon boat battle!"
The Ke family was furious.
Ke Changzhi locked his eyes on Yue Tianyi and said slowly: "You are so brave, you can bully even members of my Ke family? As a dignified bachelor, the general in charge of Suzhou's army actually bullies the small with the big, and is not afraid of being punished.
Everyone in the world laughs at you."
"That's right, Ke Hongxiu was the one who beat me."
Yue Tianyi looked down upon Ke Changzhi as if he were condescending: "What can you do to me?"
"You..."
Ke Changzhi looked angry, but he also realized that Yue Tianyi was from a military family, and they only talked about right and wrong, not reason.
As long as it is right, Yue Tianyi will do it and will not discuss the reason with you.
The people of the Yun Kingdom smiled sarcastically, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.
