Chapter 520 Which side is louder? (Please vote for me!)
With so many people present, it was of course impossible for them all to sit in the Chinese military tent. Even in the literary world, there was a clear hierarchy.
There are roughly several categories of people who are qualified to sit inside: people with national prestige, people with cross-regional prestige, people with provincial prestige, local special guests, people who directly serve national figures, or people sent to
Representatives who came.
Of course, this big tent is not perfectly seamless. Except for the curtain wall on one side, the other three sides have wide openings, allowing people outside to vaguely see what is going on inside.
According to the usual procedure, the leader of the alliance, Mr. Wang, must have made a eloquent opening statement, and then come up with a poem topic for the outsiders to join in the fun, and then the big guys here will discuss the matter.
But everyone knows that there is a "change of leadership" today, and it will definitely be difficult for old leader Wang to no longer come up with poetry topics or fully preside over the topic as leader. These tasks should be left to the new leader.
Therefore, the old alliance leader Wang, who was already very emotional and too lazy to speak, sat on his seat and remained completely silent, making the atmosphere in the big tent very dull.
Others can sit and watch the conference and turn it into a joke, but Lin Tailai cannot.
So he took the initiative to speak, and said to everyone in the audience seriously: "Today's literary world is in a stage of change, so this literary conference should play a role in connecting the past and the future, and building on the past!"
Everyone listened solemnly and thought to themselves, doesn't this mean "the leader of the alliance should be changed"?
Others are just trying to figure it out, but you, Lin Tailai, have already shown it before you even think about it.
Later, Lin Daguan fully expressed his respect for the old comrade and said to the old leader Wang: "As leaders in the literary world, we have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders and play a greater role than before. Does Danzhou agree?
"
But no one here can tell what Lin Tailai is implying?
Alliance leader Wang Lao replied feebly: "But I am old and lack of energy, so I can no longer take on the important task of leading the alliance's literary world."
Lin Tailai then responded: "Recently I heard rumors that Duke Yanzhou intends to abdicate?"
Everyone was helpless to complain. Wasn't it Lin Tailai who spread this rumor yourself?
Leader Wang showed his old-timer demeanor and answered: "As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a new generation replaces the old. It's time for me to abdicate in favor of talents."
Lin Daguan immediately praised him and said: "The Duke of Yanzhou is really open-minded and upright!
But I think that Duke Yanzhou does not need to be like this. The literary world cannot be separated from Duke Yanzhou! I sincerely advise Duke Yanzhou to please continue to be the leader of the literary world!"
As for Lin Tailai's words to persuade the old leader to stay in office, everyone can just listen to them.
They are all engaged in literature, and everyone is proficient in allusions. Who doesn't know the meaning of "three words and three concessions"?
Before the other seniors said anything, you, Lin Tailai, rushed to start "making three concessions and three concessions". Did you already regard yourself as the default successor?
Leader Wang probably felt that it was really disgusting to be in such a false position with Lin Tailai and talk in a pretentious manner.
So I didn’t pretend anymore, I couldn’t bear it anymore and said directly: “I have made up my mind, I will retire to Linquan from now on and no longer interfere with the affairs of the literary world!
At the same time, I propose that Sun Jigao and Sun Zhuangyuan of Wuxi should be the next leader of the literary world!"
Lin Tailai stood up as if he was very surprised and blurted out: "Isn't this bad? He hasn't made much achievements in the literary world."
At this time, Shen Li, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was also present, said: "Sun Botan's writing is concise and concise, his words are simple but his meaning is profound, and he has the style of Bai Letian.
Also, Zeng Wenkui was well-known throughout the world, highly respected by the public, and still young and powerful, so he could be the leader of the alliance."
Official Lin did not directly argue with Shen Li, but immediately said: "It can be put into public discussion. I wonder what the gentlemen here think of Sun Jigao?"
Shen Mingchen, an old celebrity, was the first to speak: "We are waiting for the Zhejiang scholars to oppose Sun Jigao. Wang Danzhou, you should nominate someone else."
Leader Wang was very surprised. He looked around the tent and asked disdainfully: "Where is Tu Long? When did you, Shen Mingchen, dare to represent the entire Zhejiang literary world?"
Shen Mingchen replied: "Brother Tu has voluntarily withdrawn from the literary conference and returned to Ningbo."
Everyone: ""
Can quietly "exiting" without saying hello to anyone really be proactive?
Zhang Fengyi glanced at Wang Zhideng and said: "Sun Jigao has no literary reputation in Jiangnan. Our Suzhou literary circle is opposed to Sun Jigao."
Zhao Yongxian, the left minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites and a native of Changshu, said angrily: "The literary scene in your city cannot represent the whole of Suzhou! I agree with Sun Jigao taking over as the leader of the literary circle!"
But Yuan Hongdao said loudly: "We, the Hubei Public Security Faction, also oppose Sun Jigao!"
Under Lin Tailai's death gaze, Gong Nai, the representative of Shandong literary circles, reluctantly said: "I object!"
Many people who were still watching were shocked when they heard this voice that represented the literary world in the important town of Shandong!
Gong Nai has been living in Gusuyi with Shen Li, Zhao Yongxian and Wang Lao, the leader of the alliance, but now he is siding with Lin Tailai. Is this person an elite person?
Representatives from relatively marginal literary circles such as Songjiang Prefecture and Yangzhou Prefecture also spoke out against Sun Jigao.
Zhu Shikong, a disciple of Hubei tycoon Wu Guolun, said weakly: "Young man, I only follow the lead of the Danzhou stallion."
Wang Daoguan, the younger brother of Huizhou faction tycoon Wang Daokun, watched with cold eyes and remained silent.
If possible, Wang Daoguan would like to nominate his brother Wang Daokun, but unfortunately, he cannot defeat either of the current hostile parties.
Representatives from many other places chose to continue to wait and see as they looked at the two sides that were in serious opposition. Because their own strength was limited and they could not afford to offend either side.
After everything that needed to be said was said and the tent was temporarily quiet, Lin Tailai laughed proudly and said:
"It's very obvious. It seems that there is still a lot of opposition to Sun Jigao's choice!
Shandong, Zhejiang, half of Jiangnan, half of Hubei, and Jiangbei all clearly oppose it, while only half of Jiangnan, half of Hubei, and Henan support it."
Just talk about the region. I don’t need to mention my status as the former Minister of the Ministry of Rites, now the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment in Nanjing, and now the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing!
How can things in the literary world be measured by official positions? There is no need to call them positions here!
At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from the direction of the gate, which aroused the vigilance of Officer Lin.
Because there was no such thing in his original plan, which meant that an accident occurred.
Then I heard someone outside shouting: "Mr. Nanyue of Wuchang and Mr. Taihan of Xin'an are here!"
Anyone who knows a little bit about literary anecdotes knows that these two names refer to the two giants Wu Guolun and Wang Daokun, who can be called the three giants in the world together with the leader Wang Lao!
It was indeed beyond the expectations of Lin Daguan. These two people originally only sent their disciple Zhu Shikong and his younger brother Wang Daoguan to attend the literary conference and did not express their intention to be there in person, but they suddenly showed up today!
No need to think about it, Lin Tailai also understood that this was probably the little move of the old leader Wang!
Use this sudden attack to catch yourself off guard!
As the two giants Wu Guolun and Wang Daokun entered the big tent, everyone gave up their seats and the seats underwent another round of adjustments.
After Wu Guolun sat down, he asked: "I haven't asked about literary affairs for a long time, so I feel a little unfamiliar. Where did you just talk?"
The disciple Zhu Shikong, who had arrived earlier, had already stood up and stood behind him. At this time, he quickly replied: "The Duke of Yanzhou proposed that Sun Zhuangyuan of Wuxi be the next leader of the literary world. There are many opponents."
Wu Guolun then said loudly: "The retro-style people are not dead yet!
On behalf of Lianghu, Liangchuan, Yunyang, Lujiang, Anqing, and Jiujiang literary circles, I support any decision made by Brother Wang Danzhou!"
The giants are giants, and they are overwhelming when they make a move. They don’t need to maneuver vertically and horizontally, and they directly include the representatives of the central and western regions.
Wang Daoguan, who had arrived early, walked to his brother Wang Daokun and whispered a few words.
After Wang Daokun finished listening, he sighed secretly, it seemed that he would never have the chance to be the leader of the literary world in this life.
Not to mention the lousy leader Wang Lao, even Lin Tailai, who has only been rising for a few years, can win more support than himself. What can I fight for?
"We, the Xin'an School, the Baiyu Society, and the Anhui Jiangyou literary circle also support Wang Danzhou!" Wang Daokun said with reluctance and publicly expressed his position on behalf of his own sphere of influence.
It was dizzying to watch the excitement in the big tent, but in the blink of an eye the situation was reversed!
The voices opposing Sun Jigao just now seemed powerful, but the joining of the two giants seems to have directly changed the balance of power!
It is said that after the Yangzhou Literary Forum two years ago, Wang Daokun clearly broke with the leader Wang Lao, and Wu Guolun also retired in despair.
As a result, the two of them, who were in their dying years, had to travel hundreds or even thousands of miles this time, desperately jumping out to support the old leader Wang, and even playing a sneak attack trick at the expense of the giant.
I have to say that Lin Daguan's charm is truly outstanding.
And even though Lin Daguan already controls two important towns in Shandong and Zhejiang, he can't compare to the efforts of the old three giants who are returning to their glory days.
Shen Li smiled and asked Lin Tailai: "Which side is the loudest now?"
Under the powerful counterattack from the opposite side, those who opposed Sun Jigao did not dare to speak, and all looked at Lin Tailai, the big brother who took the lead.
Lin Tailai's eyes slowly swept over the leaders Wang Lao, Wu Guolun, Wang Daokun, Shen Li, Zhao Yongxian and others in turn.
He said as if he was complaining: "A group of seniors who are averagely over sixty years old and don't have any moral integrity are here to cheat and sneak attack on me, a twenty-two-year-old young man. Is this good? This is not good, it is very bad."
When everyone thought that Official Lin had nothing to do, he suddenly turned to Gao Changjiang, who was standing behind him, and shouted: "Let him in!"
Everyone is very curious, who is this "him"? Is there anyone else who can turn things around?
Could it be said that this "he" refers to hundreds of elite soldiers holding sharp swords?
Not long after, I saw a baby-faced middle-aged man striding into the tent.
"Feng Shike? How dare he?" A look of confusion appeared on Old Alliance Leader Wang's face. What's the use of this person appearing here?
An undercover agent was exposed and expelled. This was a very disgraceful thing. He should have been kept hidden. Why did he dare to show up so brazenly?
