Chapter four hundred and seventy-two article dispute

Qin Keqing and Jia Rong's marriage lasted in early May of the 13th year of Yongzhi. People from Ning Rong and others were discussing the matter hotly.

In such a wave, no one noticed that Mrs. Wang mentioned Baoyu's marriage with Jia Zheng in the early morning of the second day of May. She was extremely dissatisfied with Jia Mu's interference in Baoyu's marriage. Jia Zheng also thought about Jia Huan's guarantee to him and contact practice (promotion). His opinion was that it would be okay to get married a few years later, so let's watch it first.

Mrs. Wang was still satisfied with the result of this temptation. She still had time to compete for power in the back house of Jia's mansion.

In addition, after the ceremony ended on the first day of May, Taoist Zhang from Qingxu Temple sent someone to report to the Shi family. The two marquis of Shi Nai, Shi Ding, could only sigh after hearing this, and their aunt refused. This was impossible. Shi Nai went to Wang Ziteng's house on the Dragon Boat Festival to seek an errand.

The third day of the fifth month is Xue Pan's birthday. He invited Baoyu, Feng Ziying and others to the banquet. Jia Huan naturally missed it for the Daebawang.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Jia Huan handled the matters of the Jia family well. First, the rectification movement ended and he "snatched" the internal and external power of the Jia family.

Second, after being discovered by Jia Mu, Qin Keqing's affairs, she became a monk and practiced, and came to an end for the time being.





On the eighth day of the fifth month of the 13th year of Yongzhi, Jia Huan leisurely left the Jia Mansion in the morning light, returned to the Hanlin Academy to "work" and began his life from seven to five.

In the past few days around May, he made a special trip to Mr. Fang. He was not the main force in writing books. During this period, he was still reading books and familiar with the historical materials of this dynasty.

In the morning, Jia Huan sat down in the review hall and met his colleagues. Zhou Shenxing still smiled and chatted with Jia Huan a few words, "Brother Jia's speech is really...ha... extremely interesting." The Jinyiwei came out to spread it, and it was spread everywhere.

Seeing that the colleagues around him were all pricking up their ears, Jia Huan smiled casually and said, "It's just a game text. I'll tell you to the servants in the mansion."

The Hanlins who had originally wanted to accuse Jia Huan of corrupting Hanyuan's literary style all said that they had spoken. Who had never done such things as game writing? Not to mention speaking such plain words, it is normal to even tell a bad joke.

After dealing with Zhou Shenxing in the same year, Jia Huan stood up and went out of the Prosecutor's Office to go to the West to study for a leave of absence.

When I arrived at the door, I heard a rumor of argument. Jia Huan waited for a while, and then called Fang Wang in. In the small public room, there were book cases, seats, and books piled up everywhere in the bookcase, emitting the fragrance of books.

Wei Hanlin was also inside, turned his head to look at Jia Huan, and the other party looked away: "The official first to leave. Please consider this period of history carefully." This is a taboo by the respected person, which is allowed. However, a gentleman will never make up history.

Fang Wang waved his hand with a headache and asked Wei Hanlin to leave first. He ordered the minor official to see Jia Huan, pour tea, and sighed with a smile: "What a Wei Zongguan, who is stubborn." He asked Jia Huan again, "He seems to be dissatisfied with you too?"

Just now, Wei Hanlin was arguing with him about a case in the Shizu Dynasty. The only three-yuan period in the state dynasty, Lin Jitong, the prime minister of the court, was said to have suppressed his descendants when he was an official in the palace examination. Later, the prime minister of the Shizong period, Yang Taihe, was to enjoy the glory of the only three-yuan period in the state dynasty.

His meaning was to write this matter into "Emperor Zhou Yinghua" and belittle Lin Jitong. The purpose was of course to test the attitude of the Hanlins who wrote books. Because Emperor Zhou Yinghua turned around and wanted to whitewash Emperor Yongzhi's throne. However, Wei Hanlin insisted on not following him, which gave him a headache. There were still some "subsidies" in the future.

Jia Huan smiled helplessly and explained the whole story, "Mr. Fang, Mr. Wei Xiu is Senior Brother Gongsun's father-in-law. He is very dissatisfied with me not persuading Senior Brother Gongsun to return to his career."

Wei Hanlin has been an old Hanlin for many years and was filled in the big pit of "Huang Zhou Yinghua". It will take at least six or seven years. It is not without reason that his career in this life has become like this. Character determines destiny!

Fang Wang raised his head and laughed, and his thin right hand slapped the wooden chair armrest several times, "Haha. Everyone has their own ambitions, how can they force it!"

After chatting with Jia Huan for a few words, he canceled the fake. Jia Huan stepped forward and took it.

Fang Wang laughed and said, "This is a letter from Fu Bolong, a great scholar of the country, saying that the article you circulated in the capital was very simple and vulgar. I asked me to urge you to read and write carefully. Hey, he was very loud."

Fu Bolong said such words sounded quite harsh. Jia Huan understood what was going on: the dispute between vernacular and classical Chinese. His speech was just a fuse.

In the south of the Yangtze River, newspapers, as emerging industries, have flourished and blossomed everywhere. The largest newspaper is of course the "Jinling Briefing" founded by the Imperial College in Nanjing.

The economy of Jiangnan was developed and there were a large number of citizens. This was the key to the rise of newspapers. Britain was known as the country of newspapers. After the Industrial Revolution, the number of citizens increased greatly, and newspapers were thus able to rise.

Newspapers in Jiangnan have now been spread to the capital. The mainstream newspapers in vernacular language is vernacular language. When Jia Huan was founding, the tone set was to write in vernacular language. On that day, disobedient prison students were sent to remote mountainous areas as teachers.

Jia Huan thought about it and said slowly: "The so-called dispute over the great way of articles is just a small way. It is based on practicality. If you write it to the servants in the palace, you must be easy to understand. Ouyang Wenzheng's history is always simple and simple. If you write it to scholars, you must be literary."

Fang Wang smiled and twisted his beard, nodded in agreement, and said, "Wang Yang and Lu Luo were so frivolous that he had not stopped writing. Your body and reputation were both destroyed, and the rivers would not be abandoned forever."

The seven sons of the Ming Dynasty advocated the ancient literature movement, breaking the constraints of the Pavilion style. The literary world of the state continued the literary style of the late Ming Dynasty. However, if they were too free, they could not write good articles from the Tang, Zhou and Song dynasties without genius.

Therefore, the style of Hanyuan in the dynasty has resurfaced, requiring allusions, elegance, refinement and fluency. Many fine articles have indeed been published. The representative of the past few decades is his opponent, Peng Shie, the former left minister of the Ministry of Rites and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

As the master of the literary world of the dynasty, he advocated: freedom, interest, and romance. There is nothing wrong with the ancient Chinese movement. The key is not to imitate the ancients, but to "literature is the voice of the heart", and to write down your own feelings.

Vernacular Chinese is more radical than his views. However, as the master of the literary world, he is willing to see a new style of writing. Or, this is the direction of future articles.

Fang Wang quoted Du Fu's poems, mocking Fu Bolong, Peng Shie and others. The poems of the four heroes in the early Tang Dynasty, reforming the ancient style and long style of the fu since the Han Dynasty, and changing it to quatrains. How many people laughed at it? But what about people now? Your body and reputation are destroyed, and the rivers will not be abandoned forever.

How similar is this to the fact that some people are maintaining ancient Chinese and rejecting vernacular language? I have to say that Grandmaster Fang is indeed a person with a temperament. He does not agree with writing vernacular Chinese. Instead, between the accusations of the great scholars and the views of his disciples, he strongly supports his disciples.

Jia Huan smiled and said, "What Mr. said is very much. An era has its own language characteristics. It is reasonable to remove the drought and preserve the essence. As the saying goes: the system of articles is born, and only generals have temperament. The model Zhou (Song) and the Tang people suffer their own suffering, and the ancients are dead without any dispute."

Jia Huan was not willing to participate or provoke a dispute between classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese. He was not interested in a weakening new cultural movement. Existence means reasonable. What is the use of quarrel? Newspapers will naturally promote vernacular Chinese.

Fang Wang immediately laughed heartily and said, "Haha, Ziyu, a good poem. Read it again and I will write it down." As he said that, he picked up his pen and recorded the poem Jia Huan.

The Mo Zhou (Song) and the Tang Dynasty are not necessarily right or wrong. It doesn’t matter what style to write, but the important thing is the person who writes the article. Only generals have temperament.

The words and demeanor of this poem make people feel something called talent is full of overflowing from the tip of the pen.

After recording the poem, Fang Wang was in a good mood and said disdainfully: "Fu Bolong is a good teacher. He taught the prince and claimed to be an imperial teacher. Where can he talk nonsense about the way of articles? It is because there are too many people like that, so the literary award has been delayed."

A great Confucian scholar is not necessarily a great writer. At the same time, private morality is also a disadvantage. For example, Zhu Xi, the Confucian sub-saint, can his poems and articles be compared with Su Shi? But he is indeed a great Confucian scholar. In terms of private morality, Zhu Xi also married two beautiful nuns as concubines. There are also stories such as Yan Rui and Paohui who are circulating. However, this does not affect Zhu Xi's status as a Confucian sub-saint.

As a junior, Jia Huan is not easy to comment on the matter in the literary world. No wonder he had already mentioned the literary award to Grandmaster Fang, but he was reluctant to see the following. He thought: I didn’t expect that Fu Bolong was the teacher of Prince Ning Pu.

Fang Wang took a sip of tea and said, "I plan to promote your punctuation. At least, it will be used in the book Huang Zhou Yinghua." He also said, "Your wedding date will be at the end of next month. In two days, I will give you a long holiday."

Jia Huan's wedding invitation has been given to Grandmaster Fang a long time ago. Of course, there was no such thing as having just finished the Dragon Boat Festival leave, and I had to wait a few days later because of taking another wedding leave.

Jia Huan thanked Grandmaster Fang and said goodbye to leave. The manuscript used for the rectification was rumored to be everywhere in the capital. He did not intend to take care of the literary world. This kind of "struggle" is Master Fang's battle map.

His current situation is that his career is dormant and nothing is wrong. He won the reputation of the Shilin people, which is not his ambition. After taking charge of the inside and outside of the Jia Mansion, he suppressed his teammates and refused to commit suicide. Of course, there is also a hidden danger to Jia She, a little tail.

Next, I was quietly waiting for the prince to die in the darkness. I took the Jia family and was safe and sound in this stormy political storm.

Then, now, it's time for him to get married.





On May 10, Jia Huan went to Xiaoyongfang Grand Secretary He to send a wedding invitation. He had some trivial matters to remind Grand Secretary He. After all, Grand Secretary He loved him very much in the palace examination.
