Listening to the laughter and laughter in Dongchao's room, Luo Yuren fell into deep regret.
In his expectation, today should be the occasion for him to undergo a court trial tragically, then be punished, and finally leave his mark in history. It would be perfect if he received another beating from the court.
As a result, the painting style turned into a "Jin Ping Mei" seminar, which was completely unexpected.
Originally, in the first draft of Luo Yuren's "Drunk, Sex, Wealth and Qi", there was no word "blackmailing the minister".
But he couldn't help but feel injustice for his friend Cui Jingrong, the former inspector of the Xuan Mansion, and he was bewitched by other friends, so he finally added these four words.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of what Cui Jingrong said when he was demoted and left the capital - why bother with him?
Luo Yuren felt that this sentence might be the most philosophical sentence he had ever heard in his life.
Unfortunately, like his good friend Cui Jingrong, he realized it too late.
Lin Tailai is an amazing person. When you don't deal with him directly, you always feel that this person acts without scruples. He seems to be full of flaws, attracting outsiders who always want to poke at him.
Only after dealing with it personally can you understand how serious the consequences of a poke are.
In addition to Luo Yuren and Wang Sanyu, who were beaten by a sap, there were several people in the east room who glared at Lin Tailai fiercely, as if they were about to spit fire.
Lin Tailai, who has been in battle for a long time and is very sensitive to hostile energy, quickly scanned around with his spiritual consciousness and found that he didn't recognize anyone.
The Qingliu forces are not just a few people playing house, but a large group united by the concept of "loyalty and integrity".
Although Lin Tailai knew some names, he didn't have the ability to match up with real people.
Of course, the main reason is that Emperor Wanli is no longer in court, and ministers in various yamen have fewer opportunities to meet each other. It is more difficult for newcomers like Lin Tailai to quickly get to know the elders of other yamen.
Except for Lin Tailai, who is hundreds of years ahead, the Qingliu forces are the most professional among the natives of this time and space in terms of building momentum and star-making, and their division of labor is also very clear.
For example, the main task of these people who stared at Lin Tailai was to act as the atmosphere team at the scene, responsible for guiding the mood of the scene.
Those who just cheered loudly for Luo Yuren and came forward to bow to him are the same people, and they may be writing poems soon.
But now that the atmosphere had been seriously damaged, they could no longer stir up the atmosphere and could only stare at Lin Tailai.
Among these atmosphere groups, someone finally bravely stood up and shouted to Lin Tailai:
"What a despicable and shameless method! Two completely unrelated documents are connected in a far-fetched way, and the book "The Plum in the Golden Lotus" is used to stigmatize "The Book of Wine, Sex and Wealth"!
Lin Tailai looked back and asked, "Who are you? Do you dare to tell me your name?"
The man replied: "I have a copy of the censor's money."
Hearing the name, Lin Tailai suddenly realized it and muttered loudly: "It turns out he is also from the Gu family class."
Qian Yiben, a native of Wujin County next door to Wuxi County, one of the future Eight Gentlemen of Donglin
People nearby couldn't help laughing when they heard the word "Gujiaban".
Qian Yiben, who was labeled as "Gu Jia Ban" as soon as he showed up, became angry and asked: "Lin Jiuyuan, don't you dare to respond directly?"
Lin Tailai smiled and said, "Why should I respond to you?"
Lu Guangzu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, spoke up for Qian Yiben and said, "Is it possible that the method was exposed by Qian Yushi, so Lin Jiuyuan did not dare to respond?"
Lin Tailai put away his smile, his whole body filled with arrogance, and replied to Lu Shangshu:
"The comparative study of literature between "Jin Ping Mei" and "Wine, Sex and Wealth" is a literary topic.
As I said just now, in the examination field, I am the top scorer in six consecutive songs!
In the literary world, I am called the poet, and even Wang Danzhou, the old leader of the literary world, has to accept it!
In terms of research and textual research on "Jin", I am also a recognized expert in the world from Suzhou to the capital!
So at the same time in these three aspects, I am the top person today, and the appraisal I make is the most authoritative appraisal!"
At this moment, Lin Tailai raised his hand again, pointed at Qian Yiben, and continued to say to Lu Shangshu:
"This man named Qian is just an ordinary third-rate scholar. He served as a county magistrate for three years before he was able to become a censor.
He has not achieved anything in the literary world, and no one has ever heard of him having any literary talent.
So what qualifications does he have to question my appraisal? And what qualifications do I, the top scholar, poet, and expert in "Jin" have to respond to him?
Do I have to respond if a random cat or dog pops up to question something?
Not to mention the money, even Lu Shangshu you are not qualified!"
Lin Tailai's words were really irritating, but Lu Shangshu couldn't refute it at all, and he couldn't let go of his face, so he could only walk away!
Only then did others understand why Lin Tailai was bragging just now. It turned out to be this purpose.
I just want to tell everyone in the most direct and toughest way that he, Lin Tailai, is the authority standing on the top of the mountain, and others have no right to question it!
If you don't have the title of Sandingjia, a huge reputation in the literary world, and a recognized influence in the study of "Jin", then don't embarrass yourself!
This is actually the same as Lin Tailai blocking the door and beating people. If he can't beat Lin Tailai with force, he really has no temper.
This is a different kind of uprightness, using force to suppress others!
Qian Yiben clenched his fists so tightly that his teeth were almost broken.
He really couldn't figure it out. Lin Tailai's words and deeds were clearly like the villain in the storybook!
Arrogant and domineering, domineering, lawless, arrogant and rude, ruthless, in a land of fish and meat, cunning and cunning, heaps of blood debts, destroying the right path!
But why is it that after several years, Lin Tailai is still jumping around!
Can't you be like some of the villains in the book, jump around twice and then die happily?
Qian Yiben's last bit of rationality told himself that he was afraid that he would screw up this time, and he couldn't resist Gu Xiancheng's guidance!
Last month, when Ding You left Beijing, Gu Xiancheng gave some advice to these close friends on a strategy.
That is to encourage one or two relatively fierce direct ministers to criticize Longlin with the fiercest words, completely angering the emperor and then punishing him severely.
Other comrades focused on these two people and worked hard to rescue, working hard to rescue for the sake of rescue, turning the rescue itself into the focus to avoid national issues.
But now that the scene has become like this, how can we proceed?
No! There will be a way, evil will prevail over good! Qian Yiben clenched his fists even tighter!
The more adverse the situation is, the more we must not lose our fighting spirit! How many comrades have worked hard to plan and prepare for so long, how can they give up so easily!
"Lin Jiuyuan! Don't go off topic!" Qian Yiben shouted after cheering up, "The current discussion is about the content of "Drunk, Sex, Wealth and Energy", don't talk about other things!"
Lin Tailai said disdainfully: "I said that a memorial that imitates "Jin Ping Mei" is not worth discussing at all!"
Qian Yiben quickly thought up his words and replied: "You are just generalizing. Even if the memorial is indeed similar to "Jin Ping Mei", isn't there any merit?
Just now Wang Shiyi was asking what he meant by ‘blackmailing the minister’, when he was interrupted maliciously by Lin Tailai!”
Lin Tailai seemed to be very surprised. He turned to Luo Yuren and shouted: "Even your colleagues have admitted that there are many similarities between the memorial and "Jin Ping Mei"?"
Tired, destroy it! Luo Yuren just wants to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never show up again.
Qian Yiben shouted quickly: "Lin Jiuyuan, don't change the topic!
Luo Yuren said before that "blackmailing ministers" refers to the fact that during the turmoil in Xuanfu City, a minister sent 20,000 taels into the palace through the guarding eunuch!
This matter has something to do with Lin Tailai! When you mentioned "Jin Ping Mei", did you want to avoid the important and cover up your deeds?
Even if the memorial really draws on "Jin Ping Mei", it won't change what you did!"
The other officials who were watching the excitement heard this and felt shocked!
Because when Luo Yuren and his colleagues mentioned the matter of "blackmailing the minister" before, they never directly named Lin Tailai, but now they finally exposed it!
There is nothing I can do about it. I didn't name Lin Tailai directly before. It was a technique that was developed through brainstorming and learning from experience and lessons.
In this way, he can be in a position where he can advance and attack, and retreat and defend, avoiding close combat with Lin Tailai and giving him more room for maneuver.
But now that he has no choice but to risk his life, Qian Ben can only give up his original idea.
No matter how much you, Lin Tailai, try to quibble and talk eloquently, you can't change the ironclad fact!
You either admit that you took the initiative to flatter the emperor and gave you money for the sake of profit after the mutiny! Or you admit that it was the emperor who blackmailed you!
Lin Tailai said calmly: "Qian Yiben, do you have any evidence?"
He didn't even mention his job title, he called him by his first name.
Qian Yiben sneered and said: "I am the censor, so I can hear what is said!"
Lin Tailai also sneered, "At that time, I had just arrived in Xuanfu Town for only a few days, how could I get twenty thousand taels of silver?
