Spring has quietly entered the late spring season.
The Gongyuan in the capital showed its lively and festive atmosphere early in the morning.
Not to mention the red flowers and green trees inside and the red carpet covering the ground, even the wild flowers outside the Gongyuan wall are in bloom.
Someone saw with their own eyes that dozens of Gongyuan masters made a special trip out of Gongyuan yesterday as the sun set, urging the flowers of late spring to bloom with their mighty power of literature and art.
Because today is a big day for Gongyuan.
A super heavyweight will discuss Taoism in Gongyuan today.
Discussions on Taoism occur almost every month, but discussions by heavyweights are rare.
What kind of person’s arguments are considered heavyweight?
The master of the three courtyards and one pavilion personally discussed the Tao, which is very important!
Super masters from outside the region discuss the Tao, heavyweight!
The reclusive old man who holds a transcendent position in the literary world is a heavyweight!
The experts in the temple discuss the Tao, and naturally they are even more important!
It sounds like there are a lot of heavyweight arguments, but in fact, such opportunities are pitifully rare.
How can the leader of the three houses and one pavilion be someone who easily talks about morality?
How could there be so many extraterrestrial super masters?
The reclusive old man who respects his own feathers is even more careless about it. Why? Because discussing Taoism is a double-edged sword. If you do it well, you will shine in the literary world. If you do it poorly or have no new ideas, not only will you not get any points, but you will get more points.
It will make you fall off the altar.
Those super masters who have achieved great success in the first place do not dare to discuss the Tao easily because they are afraid of falling from the altar.
Over time, truly heavyweight discussions on Taoism became a luxury for the literary circles of the capital.
Once it appears, the crowd will chase it away.
For example, the last time Lin Su discussed Taoism in Wenyuan Pavilion, although the big shots in the court voted with their feet, it still did not harm the geese flying all over the sky.
Those young officials in the court would rather let their aunts die hundreds of times a day than sneak out to attend lectures.
Those young students who aspired to fame were not qualified to attend lectures, so they could only write letters to their families and ask their family members to come to Beijing overnight to take them to attend lectures.
This is where the charm of literature lies!
This is the super attractiveness of heavyweight discussion!
The weight of today’s discussion is far greater than that of Lin Su back then!
The fundamental reason is that this discussion has been given a special meaning from the beginning.
Jiang Ruyue passed this discussion and entered Dingbailu Academy.
So, this discussion is the biggest story in the literary world, and it will go down in history.
It is an honor for anyone to attend a lecture that is worthy of being recorded in history. At least this person can use it as a conversation piece in the future: On a certain day of a certain year and a certain month, I personally participated in that seminar that attracted the attention of the world's literary circles.
of.
That is to say, once it is thrown out, it will immediately set off the hard-core talk in the audience!
There is one more case.
Students from all over the world at White Deer Academy seek him out. After listening to the prospective dean’s induction speech, if he has the opportunity to meet dean Jiang in the future, it would not be out of the ordinary for him to call dean his mentor. This person’s life may be changed because of this.
Although the name is far-fetched, it is still possible to relate to the "mentor", and it is completely cheating!
How can you make people all over the world not go crazy?
The capital has long been shaken.
All forty states were shaken.
Some people come to Beijing two months in advance.
Some people have even followed Jiang Ruyue's Taoist discussion team and have traveled to thirteen states.
As soon as these people entered the capital, they played everywhere in teahouses, restaurants, and brothels. They followed their mentor all over the country. They had listened to his mentor's lectures for thirteen times, and their expressions of joy made everyone almost think that he was Jiang Ruyue's.
Regular disciple.
It is precisely because of the unanimous recommendation of all parties that Jiang Ruyue's Gongyuan Discussion has set off a storm in the literary world before it even started.
Just after Yinshi, the gate of Gongyuan opened, and all the great scholars filed in.
Only great Confucians can enter, while disciple-level figures who are not great Confucians can only stay on the outside.
Even on the periphery, not everyone can get close.
In just half an hour, the lawns and streets outside were already packed to the brim.
There are mostly students from Bailu Academy.
It can even be said that almost all the students from White Deer Academy are here.
Officials at all levels have arrived!
And it’s getting bigger!
Seventh grade, sixth grade, fifth grade, fourth grade, and finally, Prime Minister Lu Tiancong appeared with a large group of officials, directly detonating the whole place.
This is the difference from Lin Su’s discussion of Taoism back then.
Lin Su said, young officials have to make up a story about their dead aunt, otherwise, they have to prepare to be tricked. But today's officialdom in the capital is directly on holiday, and all officials can come to the lectures in a legitimate manner.
The kind that doesn't fit in well unless you come here.
An hour passed, and the huge tribute courtyard was packed with people.
People are taking their places one after another.
The front row staff are in place.
In the front row were Lu Tiancong, Zhou Yunzhi, He Yunkai and other first- and second-grade officials.
Behind them are senior professors from Bailu Academy, Gongyuan Academy and ordinary officials.
Then there are the various ordinary professors and lonely scholars.
If you look closely, you will find that among the top literary figures in the capital, there are only a few groups missing, and these groups of people are quite interesting...
No one was present at Wenyuan Pavilion.
Not even Zhang Juzheng arrived.
Three or four people came from the Hanlin Academy and sat upright in the audience, never making eye contact with others.
Naturally, Chen Geng did not arrive.
Three courtyards and one pavilion are the four pillars of literature in the capital. Two of them, Gongyuan and Bailu Academy, are almost in full supply, while almost none of the other two pillars are missing.
This debate, before it officially started, was already in a tearing mood.
Some knowledgeable people feel uneasy.
Some people also communicated quietly: "Brother Zhou, have you noticed? Wenyuan Pavilion and the Hanlin Academy have not arrived yet."
"Brother Zheng obviously also knows that Grand Master Zhang of Wenyuan Pavilion has a deep hatred for Grandmaster Jiang. I heard that Grandmaster Jiang has discussed Taoism for thirteen times since he came out of Lintao, and alluded to Grand Master Zhang at least seven times. His
Wenyuan Pavilion will never come to support me. And Chen Geng, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, also aspires to be the dean of Bailu Academy. He is probably sulking in the study at the moment. How can he come? "
"Although scholars are said to be indifferent to each other, and although there are entanglements of interests, at this moment, they are cutting themselves off from literature. How stupid they are!"
"Yes, this discussion is recommended by both the temple and the royal family. Even if you have a rift with Grandmaster Jiang, you must not be so rude. After this incident, the master of Hanlin Academy should change... The real master has begun to take the stage!
"
As soon as the man's voice fell, a light and shadow rose from behind the Gongyuan.
Two figures landed on the high platform on the left side at the same time.
The high platform on the left is the real VIP platform.
The two of them fell down and revealed their true faces, but they were two young gentlemen with a graceful appearance.
They are naturally inexplicable and incomprehensible.
Today, they do not represent White Deer Academy, they represent the temple!
As soon as they appeared, they attracted everyone's attention. Then, the golden light came back from the Gongyuan, and three figures landed on the high platform on the right, which was the main platform.
The person who came was Su Changhe, a great scholar of the Gongyuan Academy. Deng Luohe was the first person in the Gongyuan Academy. Wei Xinyu was originally the first person in the Gongyuan Academy. After Qinglian discussed Taoism, his reputation was not good for 80,000 miles. Naturally, he could no longer hold the position of the first person, so he was replaced by Deng Luohe.
This is the first time Dunluohe has made a public appearance on such an important occasion.
The arrival of the host means that the discussion is about to begin.
At this moment, a strange commotion suddenly came from the door.
The people in the field looked at the door and were all shocked...
A group of people are coming!
A group of people who definitely exceeded everyone’s expectations!
They are all young people, and they are all as handsome as jade.
A handsome and elegant man at the front, dressed in white as snow, strolled in and took over the whole place.
Lin Su!
Behind him are Zhang Haoran, Qiu Mochi, Li Yangxin, and Huo Qi.
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other...
How is it possible? How could Lin Su come to praise Jiang Ruyue?
Of all the literati in the world, probably 99% of them come to support Jiang Jiang, but no matter how many people support him, Lin Su should not be included.
Because Lin Su and Zhang Ju vent their anger through the same nostril.
Lin Su also teamed up with Chen Geng to kill Ding Jiye.
He came today and had a problem!
Almost everyone knows this!
He Yunkai sent a literary message to Lu Tiancong: "Master Xiang, this son came here today, and the person who came here is not good."
Lu Tiancong smiled lightly: "I hope it's as you expected!"
Six words were sent back, and He Yunxin's head jumped slightly, "Hope? What is your wish?"
Do you really want to use the temple to get rid of him?
He stared at Lin Su inexplicably, with a very strange look in his eyes.
Mo Wenyou sighed: "I already made it clear to him on the Western Mountain that day. I really don't want him to enter the capital at this time, but why do I want to disturb this spring water?"
Inexplicably, he said coldly: "It's not that he wasn't given the chance he should have been given. If he's so stubborn, who can blame him?"
There were all kinds of people in the field, but Lin Su didn't pay attention.
Lin Su didn't seem to care about the various situations in the field.
He strolled along as if there was no one around, but when someone looked at him, he smiled at them.
"Brother Lin, why are you here today?" A voice came from the crowd on the left.
Lin Su dropped his gaze and smiled: "Brother Qiu asked a very strange question. When I entered Gongyuan today, I naturally came here to listen to Taoism. Could it be that Brother Qiu's purpose of coming here is somewhat different?"
The person on the left is Qiu Zixiu.
Lin Su's joint examination and palace examination took place in the same year (scientific examinations in the same year are called the same year).
The two entered the official career at the same time. When they entered the official career, Qiu Zixiu was a sixth-rank official and Lin Su was a fifth-rank official. During the imperial meeting last year, Qiu Zixiu caught up with him and was also a fifth-rank official. At that time, he also made judgments
, he will be promoted next year.
Now he has indeed been promoted, and Qiu Zixiu is wearing the official uniform of the fourth rank.
Once again, I stood on the same platform as Lin Su.
Qiu Zixiu smiled and said: "My little brother's purpose of coming is very simple, but Brother Lin's purpose of coming is very simple, but I don't know if it is simple?"
"Hard to say!"
Lin Su smiled and walked past him
…
Su Changhe, a bachelor of the Gongyuan Academy, waved his hand and said, "Everyone is used to seeing Taoism discussed in the capital, but the top masters discussing Taoism are hard to see and find. Now there are great talents in the literary world coming from the east. I hope that Gongyuan will discuss Taoism and Gongyuan will have a pristine wall."
It is so brilliant that scholars from all over the world are fighting for it and traveling thousands of miles to come to Beijing to hear the truth. Even the old man is deeply grateful!"
Bow deeply.
Everyone below stood up at the same time and returned the courtesy.
Su Changhe slowly straightened up, turned to the back, and bowed again: "Welcome Grandmaster Jiang!"
"Welcome Grandmaster Jiang!" everyone in the audience shouted in unison.
The void behind Su Changhe shook gently, like ripples opening up, revealing a Taoist discussion platform.
On the forum, there was a person sitting firmly.
Around him, eight disciples knelt on the ground, like stars holding the moon.
Jiang Ruyue ushered in the last of his fourteen lectures on Taoism, and it was also his first appearance at Ding Bailu Academy...
