In fact, everyone knows that "Jin Ping Mei" is a strange book about worldly sentiments, and it cannot be viewed with a colored eye.
Everyone also understands that the talent of "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng" is beyond doubt, and there is no problem in leaving his name to future generations.
However, every contemporary scholar-official who is talented enough is unwilling to admit that he is a "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng", let alone being said to be a "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng".
Once you are labeled as the author of "Jin Ping Mei", how can you continue to engage in "political enlightenment" in a sanctimonious manner?
As the big brother of the middle-level Qingliu forces, Chen Younian, a doctor in the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel, is still doing his best to protect Zhao Nanxing's reputation and refuting Lin Tailai's fallacies:
"The main body of "Jin Ping Mei" is written in Henan Mandarin, and Zhao Jun is not from Henan. How can he use Henan Mandarin skillfully?"
Lin Tailai answered in a flawless manner: "Zhao Nanxing is originally from the north, and he once served as an official in Henan for seven years.
So it’s not a problem for Zhao Nanxing to write in Henan Mandarin, or are you questioning his learning ability?”
Chen Younian still refused to admit defeat and continued to question: ""Jin Ping Mei" also uses a lot of Southeast Hebei and Shandong dialects."
But Lin Tailai's argument was equally airtight: "Zhao Nanxing is from Beizhili, not far from southeastern Hebei and western Shandong, and has every opportunity to investigate.
Besides, the northern plains area is not like the south, where the pronunciation is different and the customs are different, so there is still a lot of communication between different places."
Chen Younian upheld the spirit of never abandoning or giving up, and he was very tenacious and unyielding in questioning:
""Jin Ping Mei" also uses the dialects of Jiangnan and central Zhejiang. Zhao Jun has never been to the south. How do you explain it?"
Lin Tailai suddenly pointed at Chen Younian and replied lightly: "Who doesn't have a few friends? Aren't you from Central Zhejiang?
It is human nature for friends to communicate with each other, and it is not unusual for you to assist Zhao Nanxing."
Chen Younian: "."
Damn it! Why are you still implicated?
After Lin Tailai thought twice, he pointed at Gu Xiancheng and said, "You are from Jiangnan. You should have assisted your friends in writing!"
Gu Xiancheng: "."
Apart from helping Zhao Nanxing read "The Theory of Four Pests" aloud, Gu Xiancheng didn't say a few words from beginning to end today. Why do you, Lin Tailai, always point the finger at him?
Lin Tailai glanced around and asked, "Who else is there?"
Mr. Lin was probably the first person who dared to ask such questions to all the officials in the Ministry of Personnel.
Seeing that no one was talking, Lin Tailai finally concluded: "So after my careful analysis, Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng should be Zhao Nanxing, but he completed the creation with the help of friends."
When making this concluding speech, Lin Tailai stood in the middle of the banquet and looked around.
But as soon as Lin Tailai finished speaking, he heard the sound of tables and chairs moving from behind.
Then Lin Tailai saw that the people opposite him were looking behind him, with a look of horror on their faces.
Lin Tailai had experienced many battles over the years, and he immediately judged that someone must have stood up and attempted to attack him from behind.
So Lin Tailai pulled away without thinking and turned around. Then he saw someone furious, holding up Tie Ruyi and hitting him hard.
Is it Zhao Nanxing? It’s Zhao Nanxing! It’s Zhao Nanxing! He’s anxious! He’s anxious!
Lin Tailai seemed to be stunned, his movements were sluggish, and he didn't even completely dodge!
Then Zhao Nanxing's Tie Ruyi hit Lin Tailai's right shoulder, making a muffled sound.
For some reason, Zhao Nanxing felt that his palms were a little numb from the shock.
He had faced similar attacks countless times, but Lin Tailai was able to dodge such attacks with his quick reactions and agile steps.
But I don’t know what happened today, but Lin Tailai was actually hit. Maybe he was unprepared and was suddenly attacked from behind, and he really couldn’t react.
"Ah!!" Lin Tailai yelled out in pain. He stood unsteadily for a moment and took several steps back. It seemed that his right shoulder was injured.
In the astonished eyes of all the officials, it was like a white jade pillar holding up the sky, holding a purple golden beam across the sea, and suddenly fell to the ground!
Armed with an iron fist, a golden whip and a peach blossom spear, the Ming Dynasty's number one martial artist, who was invincible in both north and south, was actually injured on an unexpected occasion!
When Lin Tailai broke out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and fought against dozens of Jinyi guards at the police school, nothing happened!
Do all the officials in their officialdom have witnessed history with their own eyes today?
Lin Tailai, who had stabilized his body, covered his right shoulder with his left hand, his face twisted in a ferocious manner, and shouted fiercely at Zhao Nanxing: "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
Seeing that Lin Tailai couldn't lift his right arm, everyone realized that Lin Tailai's right shoulder injury was probably serious!
Then I saw Lin Tailai completely ignoring his injuries, shouting, and fiercely pressing towards Zhao Nanxing!
Zhao Nanxing probably didn't expect this result. When he saw Lin Tailai, who was as crazy as a wounded beast, he felt timid and backed away in fear.
Chen Younian and Gu Xiancheng, one on the left and one on the right, quickly stepped forward and separated Lin Tailai and Zhao Nanxing.
The incident happened so suddenly that no one knew how to react.
In the Ming Dynasty, fighting was not uncommon, and it was not uncommon for famous people to get into fights.
Li Mengyang, the leader of the literary world a hundred years ago, even beat Uncle Guo and even knocked out two of his teeth.
Crash! Zhao Zhigao, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, overturned the desk, walked to the front, and shouted sharply:
"Zhao Nanxing! You are such a vicious person. You dare to injure your son before the test, especially your right shoulder. You are as evil as a snake and a scorpion!"
All the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs have never seen the good old Zhao Zhigao speak so harshly.
But after tasting Zhao Zhigao's words, everyone immediately felt that Zhao Nanxing was in big trouble.
Now Lin Tailai's identity is not that he is a martial arts champion, but a candidate who is about to take the examination, and he is also Jieyuan from Nanzhili!
Examinations have always had a very unique status in the minds of Chinese people. Most things can be compromised for the sake of exams, let alone the imperial examinations.
By the same token, preventing candidates from taking exams is a very unethical thing and will be cast aside by public opinion.
So another aspect of today's incident is that Zhao Nanxing beat a talented candidate who was nominally excellent and very promising to pass the Jinshi exam until he couldn't even lift a pen to write!
Especially since this candidate also has a strong backer, the situation is even worse.
If the examinee's right shoulder was deliberately injured, it would be even more vicious.
No wonder Lin Tailai was so angry that he seemed to want to kill someone.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break a muscle. With more than two months left before the National Examination, my right shoulder was injured, which may affect the National Examination!
For scholars, this is the most important exam! Passing the Jinshi exam is the real way to ascend the dragon's gate, raising the upper limit of life to a very high level!
Facing Zhao Nanxing who was being protected, Lin Daguan knew that he would not be able to "revenge" today.
He could only stare at Zhao Nanxing fiercely, and said through gritted teeth: "I will remember Mr. Zhao's kindness in my heart. When I recover from my injury, I will personally repay your family!"
What does it mean to repay your whole family? Everyone heard the overwhelming hatred in Lin Tailai's words!
Others may have no choice but to say harsh words, but Lin Tailai definitely has the ability to execute his harsh words.
After saying the harsh words, Lin Tailai turned around and left the official department without looking back, holding his right shoulder.
Zhao Nanxing was in a daze. He really wanted to create a heated discussion tonight, but it was not this kind of heated discussion.
Lin Jieyuan argued that Zhao Bulang wrote "Jin Ping Mei", Zhao Bulang became angry and Tie Ruyi seriously injured Lin Jieyuan?
This news is erotic and violent, and it is sure to be a big hit.
Yang Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, sighed and ordered the servants on the left and right: "Go to the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Household Affairs quickly and inform the chief minister and Wang Situ about this!"
During this Winter Solstice Festival, most of the yamen in the capital arranged banquets, and as usual, the cabinet's academicians attended the banquets with the Hanlin Academy.
After all, in terms of the nominal system, the cabinet is the branch of the Hanlin Academy stationed in the court, and the essential attribute of the bachelor is also the Hanlin Ci official.
So if you want to find the first assistant to apply for Shixing at this time, you have to go to the Hanlin Academy.
When the clerk of the Ministry of Civil Affairs reported the news to Shen Shixing, the chief assistant felt incredible. Lin Tailai could still be beaten?
The plot of Lin Tailai beating Zhao Nanxing seriously and then breaking out of the official department is more reasonable.
But after repeated confirmations, Shen Shoufu was also shocked by this winter solstice vicious wounding case.
In anger, Shen Shoufu quickly sent a message to Shen Yongmao, asking his son to visit the Lin Mansion as soon as possible.
Then Shen Yongmao hurriedly left from the banquet of the Ministry of War and rushed to the Lin Mansion in Li Ge Old Alley.
At the gate of Lin Mansion, Shen Yongmao met Lin Tailai's wife and nephew, Wang Xiangmeng, the censor of Jiangxi Province.
Without asking, we knew that Wang Xiangmeng must have received the news and came to visit immediately, and he also represented Wang Situ of the Ministry of Revenue.
However, Shen Yongmao noticed that Wang Xiangmeng's face didn't seem very nervous.
