Chapter 318 Sharing Psalms from Thousand Miles Away
Outside the Shuicicang gate, after everything has been decided, the on-site disposal work is over.
Imperial envoy Zhao Zhigao then ordered: "Let's all disperse! Each of you will wait for the court's punishment."
If he didn't have to wait for the court's ruling, Zhao Zhigao would have announced directly that it was over!
Governor Yang and Ma Xunjian no longer had the energy to argue. They just wanted to leave this damn Shuicicang.
But when the two of them took steps to continue walking outside, their bodies remained motionless because there were still officers and soldiers holding them firmly down.
Official Lin looked at Fu in surprise, pressed the two of them, and asked, "I didn't say let you go, why are you so anxious?"
The two of them didn't want to talk to Lin Tailai, but after cursing in their hearts, they looked at Zhao Zhigao.
Out of his humanitarian spirit towards officials, Zhao Zhigao advised Lin Tailai: "You should give others some dignity."
"This is not a matter of honour." Lin Tailai pointed at Ma Xunjing and said: "For example, this guy ordered the attack on Shuicicang without authorization. Now he is waiting for a crime. How can he be let go before the court handles it? What if he
If you abscond out of fear of crime, what should you do?"
Then Lin Tailai pointed at Governor Yang and continued: "He is the governor. What if after he goes out, he mobilizes many troops and horses to come to Shuicicang to kill people and destroy their bodies and traces?"
Zhao Zhigao: "."
What's the point of absconding in fear of crime and killing people and silencing them? The two of them are ministers of comfort within the system, not heroes!
After all, Lin Tailai is an official of the imperial court with a salary. Why hasn't his thinking changed and he still stays in the underworld mode?
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhigao felt his head hurt. He sighed and persuaded: "You have too many concerns. If you are really worried about safety, I have an idea."
Official Lin asked, "I would like to hear the details."
Zhao Zhigao then said: "You might as well go back to Suzhou first. In your hometown in Suzhou, you won't worry about your own safety anymore, right?
The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days, don’t you want to go back and reunite?
Not to mention that you haven’t spoken out in the Jiangnan literary world for a long time. This is not commensurate with your status in the literary world. Isn’t the Mid-Autumn Festival an opportunity for you to publish poems?
If you don't count Nanjing, Suzhou is the center of Jiangzuo's literary world, and Yangzhou is not that interesting after all."
Lin Daguan let out a long sigh and said sadly: "Speaking of poetry, who else can I use poetry to trample on?
Alliance Leader Wang has not appeared in public for a long time, how many other people are worth stepping on?"
Everyone: "."
Don't you, Lin Tailai, know how to write poetry if you don't step on or hit people?
Lin Daguanren continued: "Actually, this year I have gained a new understanding of the way of literature, and my main focus is to return to nature and to simplicity.
This Mid-Autumn Festival, just give the opportunity to become famous to others, and I won’t release any new works!”
The reason why Zhao Zhigao, a kind-hearted man, brought up the topic of Mid-Autumn Festival was not to really discuss literature with Lin Tailai.
He looked at Governor Yang and He Ma Xun, and said to Lin Tai: "The reunion festival is coming, and you still forcefully detain them. Isn't it too unkind?
If it spreads in official circles, it will not be good for your reputation and will ruin your reputation."
Official Lin pondered for a while and then said: "Can you guarantee that they will not submit a memorial?"
Zhao Zhigao, an old man, actually wanted to roll his eyes, "As officials and censors of the border areas, they naturally have the right to submit memorials. Do you, Lin Tailai, still want to block the way of speech?"
Lin Daguan immediately said: "Then they are not allowed to use six hundred miles to rush! This is my final bottom line, otherwise I would rather not let him go!"
Zhao Zhigao felt that although Lin Tailai seemed arrogant and arrogant, he was really cautious when he was cautious.
Let’s not mention the horse patrol that gave away his life in vain. In fact, according to the rules of the officialdom, Governor Yang had already been defeated, but Lin Tailai still did not relax in the slightest, and had no intention of pursuing the enemy.
There are many rules in officialdom, but one of the biggest rules is that "food is the original sin." Governor Yang actually made this mistake.
This time, Governor Yang relied on his power to attack first, and then he and Lin Tailai, each with his own reasons, confronted each other across the river.
If Governor Yang used his strength to block Lin Tailai from crossing the river, no matter how Lin Tailai jumped, Governor Yang would still be the winner.
But it happened that Governor Yang was captured alive by Lin Tailai when he took the initiative to attack. In the eyes of the court, this was "the one who flirted first is cheap".
No matter how Governor Yang wrote a memorial to defend himself, his behavior was just to make trouble first and then cause trouble again, adding meaningless trouble to the court.
Therefore, Zhao Zhigao was not worried about Governor Yang's self-defense in the memorial, but felt that Lin Daguan was too cautious.
Finally, Zhao Zhigao made a guarantee to Lin Tailai: "I, the imperial envoy, will not leave Yangzhou until the final edict from the imperial court is issued!"
In this way, Senior Official Lin let his officers and soldiers release him, pressed them down, and said parting words: "If I were you, I would definitely be embarrassed to stay in Yangzhou City!"
"This court is willing to admit defeat, but in addition," Governor Yang also wanted to say something else.
Official Lin turned a deaf ear and closed the warehouse door, not giving Governor Yang any chance to convey his message.
Zhao Dawu, who was on guard inside the warehouse, came up to him and asked, "They are all gone? Then you can rest assured."
To be honest, Zhao Dawu was still worried about the two big bosses, the governor and the inspector being detained.
If something goes wrong and the two of them have their own shortcomings, I don't know if they can shoulder the responsibility.
"Look at your potential!" Lin Daguan glanced at Zhao Dawu and said, "If they dare to do something wrong, they are not cooperating with the imperial envoys and resisting the imperial investigation!"
Zhao Dawu asked again: "The seven ministers who were still imprisoned are being released too?"
"It would be a pity to just let it go." Lin Daguan sighed.
Then he personally came to the west corridor of the warehouse office and said to the seven court officials in a pitiful tone:
"The inspector left, and so did Governor Yang, but they didn't mention you when they left. They didn't care about your life or death at all, and left you to fend for yourself."
Although the seven ministers were all experienced figures, they didn't know what to say other than looking at each other.
After all, they have no idea what's going on outside, and no matter how powerful a person is, they can't make correct decisions if they don't have information.
Official Lin said again: "You are all businessmen. You are doing business honestly. Why are you colluding with government and businessmen? Do you still want to participate in the strife within our officialdom?"
Now that the conspiracy between you and the governor has come to light, but the governor has escaped, the blame can only be borne by you!"
There was also Wang Yuanwai among these seven court officials. Originally, Wang Yuanwai was almost divided up by the governor and six other people. Fortunately, Lin Daguan's magic troops descended from the sky.
But for some unknown reason afterwards, Wang Yuanwai, who was theoretically rescued, was being held captive by Lin Daguan, just like the others. He did not look like an old acquaintance of Lin Daguan at all.
At this time, Wang Yuanwai felt that it was time for him to play his role, so he took the initiative and said: "I hope Lin Zhuangyuan can give me some advice."
Before Lin Tailai could answer, he heard Zheng Zhiyan, the leader of the Huizhou merchants, say angrily: "How can there be any conspiracy? Lin Zhuangyuan should not make things out of thin air!"
Official Lin nodded and ordered the officers and soldiers: "Send Mr. Zheng's gifts out of the warehouse!"
Everyone in the court was in a daze, and they didn't understand for a moment. What kind of operation was this? As long as they boldly contradicted it, they could be sent away.
Also, is this really sending away, or is it another kind of sending away?
Official Lin then comforted him and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I have no intention of harming Mr. Zheng.
I just suddenly remembered that Zheng Yuanwai had rented 7,000 salts to me before. We are all business partners and we should receive preferential treatment!"
Everyone was speechless. Could your Lin Tailai hint be more obvious?
Lin Daguan smiled and said: "Don't worry, let's reflect more and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here with peace of mind! We can talk about those secular affairs after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Wang Yuanwai was a little anxious and shouted: "I am different from them, I did not conspire with the governor, I was conspired!
I have finished reflecting on it these days, and I ask Lin Zhuangyuan to give me another chance!"
Zheng Zhiyan, who has a grudge against Lin Tailai, can go home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why should he, Wang Qing, continue to be imprisoned here?
But Officer Lin seemed to have lost his hearing again. He walked out of the corridor, closed the door, and blocked Mr. Wang's sincere words in the room.
With the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, many fights seem to have pressed the pause button, and even the court has suspended quarrels.
After all, this is one of the most important festivals of the year, and everyone has a tacit understanding to try not to cause trouble during the festival, and to get over the festival first.
What surprised Zhao Zhigao, a member of the Update Society, was that Lin Tailai, the manager of their Update Society, was really stuck in Shuicicang.
Moreover, Lin Zuoguan has not published any works, which is completely unlike the style of an enemy in the literary world.
Zhao Zhigao was also an elegant man with a Hanlin background. On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, he held a banquet at the renovated Pingshan Hall in Shugang.
During this era, Yangzhou's material civilization was developed, but its spiritual civilization had not yet caught up, and there were not so many celebrities.
Therefore, Zhao Zhigao followed the custom of the literary world and invited some local school students in Yangzhou to join in the fun, which could be regarded as supporting the younger generations as seniors.
Lu Junbi, an outstanding student member of Fu Xue, shopkeeper of Lin's Salt Industry, and sponsor of the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet of Pingshan Hall tonight, was honored to attend. He also brought many books to add to the fun.
Zhao Zhigao saw Lu Junbi carrying a basket of books and asked strangely: "What does Lu Sheng mean by this?"
Lu Junbi picked up a book, raised it high, and enthusiastically introduced it to everyone at the table:
"This book contains ten Mid-Autumn Festival poems, all of which were written by Gusu Lin Zhuangyuan in Nanjing last year. At that time, the leader of the literary world, Wang Danzhou Gong, was so impressed that he stopped writing.
When I read it, I was filled with emotion. Since the Song Dynasty, there have been no more outstanding Mid-Autumn Festival poems than these!
With the pearls and jade in front of you, how dare you show your ugliness again in the future? I would like to share this masterpiece with you, everyone has a volume, and share the fragrance of books tonight!"
Zhao Zhigao: "."
Lin Tailai is right, he did not publish any new works this Mid-Autumn Festival.
In Suzhou City, the economic and cultural center of Jiangnan, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a very grand festival. There are many festivals and customs. It is a basic operation to visit the beautiful city, and gatherings of scholars can be found everywhere.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival night, the disciples and grandsons of the Wen family, who are known as half of Suzhou's literary world, did not go to Huqiu to join in the fun, but chose to gather in Zhangjia Qiuzhiyuan.
Dozens of people gathered together, and the scene was grand. At that time, Wen Zhengming could not have imagined that he would have so many disciples and descendants.
The most important figures include: Wen Zhengming's grandson, Wen Yuanfa, the current head of the Wen family, and Wen Zhengming's great-grandson Wen Zhenmeng.
Wang Zhideng, a close disciple of Wen Zhengming, the leader of Suzhou's local literary circle, and the world's best civilian poet.
The son of Lu Shidao, Wen Zhengming's proud successor, Lu Shiren is a master of calligraphy and painting forgery.
The son of Wen Zhengming's outer disciple Qian Gu, the bibliophile and calligrapher Qian Yunzhi.
In his later years, Wen Zhengming made friends with Zhang Fengyi, the largest trader in the Suzhou calligraphy and painting market.
When he was young, he was certified as a child prodigy by Wen Zhengming, and Zhang Youyu was the second famous scholar in Suzhou City.
There was also Zhao Huanguang, the son-in-law of Lu Shidao, who came all the way from Taicang Prefecture and was a descendant of the Eight Wise Queens of the Song Dynasty and the successor of Wen Zhengming.
Wait, wait, etc. So it is not an exaggeration at all to say that Wen Zhengming’s descendants are half of the current Suzhou literary and art circle.
Especially in the calligraphy and painting market, Wen Zhengming's disciples and descendants occupy the largest market share.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the garden was brightly lit. Zhang Youyu, half of the owner, stood in the middle, holding up a book and loudly said:
"Everyone, listen to me. This book contains ten Mid-Autumn Festival poems, all of which were written by my unscrupulous student in Nanjing last year. At that time, Wang Fengzhou was so impressed that he stopped writing.
When I read it recently, I couldn't help but sigh. Since the Song Dynasty, there have been no more outstanding Mid-Autumn Festival poems than these!
With the student Zhuyu in front of me, I, as a teacher, don’t dare to show my shame anymore, and I don’t think you have any need to write poems or lyrics.
I will distribute this masterpiece to you all, each of you will have a volume, and we will share the fragrance of books tonight!"
The noisy and lively sounds in the banquet room suddenly seemed to have pressed the mute button, and there was silence for an instant.
Everyone was thinking, has Zhang Youyu gone crazy again?
It was not just once or twice that Zhang Youyu made trouble at his own gathering.
Some people looked at Zhang Fengyi and called "Mr. Lingxu" several times.
This means that as the eldest brother, why don’t you quickly take Zhang Youyu back and tie him up?
Zhang Fengyi struggled for a long time and responded: "Actually, after thinking about it, my second brother's suggestion is not bad.
How about setting the theme tonight to review and study Lin Zhuangyuan’s ten Mid-Autumn Festival articles last year.”
Everyone at the table was astonished. Everyone was used to Zhang Youyu going crazy. Why did you, Zhang Fengyi, also go crazy? Can madness be contagious?
Zhang Fengyi smiled bitterly and added: "Lin Zhuangyuan said that after he goes to Yangzhou, he will vigorously promote cultural exchanges between Jiangsu and Yangzhou, introduce more excellent cultural products into Yangzhou, and fully meet the growing demand for cultural products among the emerging classes in Yangzhou.
If you are willing to discuss Lin Zhuangyuan's Mid-Autumn Festival poem together tonight, our brothers are welcome to join; if you are not willing, don't force it, everyone can enjoy it."
Lu Shiren, the son of Lu Shidao, the heir to Wen Zhengming's mantle, and a master of calligraphy and painting forgery, stood up, walked to Zhang Fengyi and said:
"Although I had many misunderstandings with Lin Zhuangyuan last year, I still appreciate Lin Zhuangyuan's poetry very much, but I am not embarrassed to say it out.
It’s a rare opportunity tonight to express our feelings together, and I’m willing to join you!”
But at the same time, some people shouted: "I should stick to my moral integrity and never be kitsch!"
Immediately, several more people responded and agreed with this statement.
Wen Yuanfa, the contemporary head of the Wen family, saw helplessly that a gathering of the Wen family split into two camps in an instant.
The descendants of the Wen family will never forget this most painful day.
Thank you all! I'm back on the list, but I'm at the bottom... If you don't vote monthly, you'll fall off again...
