Qin Dewei and Mrs. Gu sneaked into the woods, and under the cover of servants, watched the group of people by the lake next to them.
After all, as the old saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be in danger.
After watching for a while, listening to Old Man Gu shouting about the New Jinling Sect, Qin Dewei felt that reality was too magical, and said to Madam Gu distressedly:
"I really can't do anything about it. If I still have to clean it up after this, I'm afraid I will be accused of being mean and unfeeling by the world."
Madam Gu covered her mouth and smiled: "That's it, we'll just go out."
But Qin Dewei said again: "Wait and see, it can't be in vain, there must be something left behind."
Amidst the laughter and laughter by the lake, someone suddenly stood up, very eye-catching.
Everyone in the venue looked around and saw that it was the youngest Jiao Xiucai who had followed Gao Changjiang to see the world.
"I object!" Jiao Wenjie used all his strength and risked everything to shout this!
He is not willing to give in, he wants to risk his life, and he has to make a final struggle! This may be his only chance to break the ceiling!
If he doesn't do something and settles into mediocrity, he will regret it for the rest of his life!
But everyone is collectively confused. What do you, Jiao Xiucai, object to?
Gao Changjiang was jointly and severally responsible. He quickly reached for Jiao Wenjie and said repeatedly: "What are you doing! Sit down, sit down!"
Although I don't understand what Jiao Wenjie wants to do, it is too rash to stand up and speak like this. Not everyone can imitate Qin Dewei.
Jiao Wenjie broke away from Gao Changjiang and continued: "Although I have never seen it since I was a child, I have also heard it. I have been listening to the stories of the fight between Bachelor Qin and Senior Gu. The details are also familiar to you. I don’t need to explain it again.
Say no more!
Haven't you, gentlemen, thought carefully about what the purpose of Scholar Qin's actions was if it were not for fame and fortune? What is Qin Dewei's painstaking efforts?"
Everyone thought about it and felt that this question was very difficult to answer. Even those who could speak a few words did not dare to speak easily.
Anyone with some experience knows that making random comments about powerful people in public will most likely lead to bad luck.
In the grove, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but be curious, and asked in a low voice: "Besides fame and fortune, what else can you think of?"
Qin Dewei replied blankly: "I don't know either."
Seeing that no one could answer him, Jiao Wenjie took the initiative to speak again: "As far as I know, Academician Qin has repeatedly denounced the trend of forming cliques and alliances! He even said it most often in front of Senior Gu!
Moreover, Bachelor Qin often works alone and rarely joins forces with others for the sake of the literary world!
In addition to the above, Academician Qin extremely hates the trend of judging seniority in salary ranking and has always advocated meritocracy! Otherwise, he would not have repeatedly made the following mistakes and offended Senior Gu!
So I think these two points are the real purpose of Bachelor Qin, one is to combat the trend of forming cliques, and the other is to resist the trend of judging seniority in capital allocation!"
Hearing this, Gu Dongqiao became unhappy and asked impatiently: "These are all things of the past. What do you want to say?"
Jiao Wenjie was a little nervous at first and could not speak fluently in public, but with a completely willing attitude, the more he spoke, the more fluent he became.
No matter what happens in the future, at least at this moment, his heart is very happy and his thoughts are clear!
So he replied to Gu Dongqiao: "I actually don't want to say anything more, I just can't bear it and think it's really ridiculous!
Things that Academician Qin strongly opposed back then, such as forming cliques and judging seniority in salary rankings, you are copying here and continue to do so!
Scholar Qin single-handedly broke the solidification of the alliance, allowing the younger generation of scholars to break through the shackles and get rid of the control of the seniors. He made a great contribution to the Nanjing literary world, which can be called the greatest contribution!
But you are going back to the past, and you are even holding high the banner of Academician Qin. Do you think it is ridiculous?
This is using the banner of Academician Qin to oppose Academician Qin, how can I bear it?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Jiao Xiucai's speech was really unexpected, completely reversing the previous harmonious style.
There are actually no certain rules in the literary world. Most of the time it just depends on who has the loudest voice or whose logic is more sophisticated.
Interpreting this kind of thing is what every literati will do. Just now, Mr. Gu Lao, the former leader of the League, started from the theory of poetry. In fact, it was an interpretation of Qin Dewei's thoughts. After all, poetry expresses ambition.
But the interpretation of the connotation of Qin Scholar is not as sharp and clear as that of Jiao Xiucai!
In the grove, Mrs. Gu asked Qin Dewei again: "I really don't understand the twists and turns of you literati. Are you really such a person?"
Qin Dewei was still at a loss. I have made such a great contribution to the Nanjing literary world?
Someone questioned: "Are you saying this to oppose the New Jinling Poetry Society?"
Jiao Wenjie completely entered a mysterious and mysterious state of excitement, his mind was inexplicably ethereal, he was keenly aware of the other party's meaning, and he opened his mouth to retort:
"Xueshi Qin only proposed the New Jinling style of poetry and prose, with the purpose of clearing away the extravagant style of the Six Dynasties, but he never deliberately organized the New Jinling School, and I have never heard that the New Jinling Poetry Society was initiated by Xueshi Qin."
Gu Dongqiao clapped his hands and stood up, scolding: "It's nonsense and heresy! What do you know, Scholar Qin!"
Scholar Qin entered Taoism through poetry, and that’s why the New Jinling School came to be. We should explore the truth from poetry. Your empty theory that ignores the essence is just for your own use, and it is tantamount to a heart-breaking theory!"
In any case, Mr. Gu cannot give up the flag in his hand, but it really doesn't matter what the flag is.
As long as the flag is in your hands and you feel happy, that's enough!
But Jiao Wenjie also unknowingly entered a peak state that he had never expected, and immediately retorted:
"Old sir, you are totally wrong! Just looking at the words of Qin Xueshi's poems, there is no Tao. For Qin Xueshi, poetry is just a word game!
Do you think that Scholar Qin advocates the new Jinling style and opposes the decadent Six Dynasties style? That is also completely wrong!
Scholar Qin’s objection was not to a certain style of writing, but to the atmosphere of the literary world! It just happened that the old gentlemen admired the Six Dynasties back then, so the Six Dynasties became a target!
Don’t forget that even Academician Qin’s own famous work was modeled on “Fragrance Tree” written in Qiliang style of the Six Dynasties, so it can be judged that Academician Qin did not oppose the Six Dynasties from a poetic standpoint!”
Among the people present, those with slower brains could not keep up with the ideas of the debate between the two sides. They had to think about it several times before they could understand the meaning.
Does it seem reasonable? Qin Xueshi’s poetry can be called a grocery store. Writing poetry for Qin Xueshi is really like playing word games.
In the woods, Mrs. Gu was completely stunned. She poked Qin Dewei again and asked, "What nonsense are they talking about?"
Qin Dewei echoed: "It's indeed all lies. It's my turn to step in and put an end to this chaos!"
When everyone at the lakeside was about to participate in the debate, a few bursts of laughter suddenly came from the nearby woods.
Some people are very familiar with this kind of laughter, while others don't recognize who it is.
Then a young figure strutted out of the woods, with a sunhat covering half of his face.
People who didn't hear the voice and weren't familiar with it, saw this appearance and thought a few times in their hearts, who dares to show off like this?
Qin Dewei lifted up his sun hat and revealed his face, which immediately caused a sensation. This face is the symbol of today's Nanjing literary world!
Except for Gu Dongqiao, no one expected that Academician Qin would suddenly descend from heaven and suddenly appear in front of them. Fortunately, they didn't say anything bad about Academician Qin just now!
But at this moment, there was a discordant and harsh sound, and Jiao Wenjie rushed forward, pointed at Qin Dewei and shouted: "Zhang Juzheng! You have caused me so much pain! You dare to show up!"
Damn it! Everyone was immediately horrified and looked at Jiao Xiucai like a fool!
You, Jiao Wenjie, have been beeping about Bachelor Qin’s thoughts for a long time, but in the end you don’t even know who Bachelor Qin is?
Could it be that this Jiao Xiucai was actually a madman? They had been listening to the ravings of a madman for a long time just now?
Qin Dewei was not impressed by Jiao Xiucai's gaffe. He casually bowed his hands to everyone and said, "Long time no see, gentlemen!"
Only then did everyone come back to their senses and hurriedly returned the greetings one after another, shouting together: "I've seen Scholar Qin!"
These three words, Qin Xuecai, made Jiao Xiucai feel like he was struck by thunder again. Why is the world so malicious to him?
He could only stand in front of Qin Dewei dumbfounded, his mind was blank and there was no thought.
Qin Dewei yelled at Jiao Xiucai who was blocking the way: "Get down!"
Jiao Wenjie was still stunned, motionless, and lost his reaction to the outside world.
Qin Dewei stretched out his hand and pushed Jiao Wenjie, then slapped the others, and said casually: "My brother-in-law-to-be is young, energetic, and not knowledgeable enough. I offended you with my words just now. Please forgive me!"
The other words can be ignored, but Qin Dewei publicly said the three words "quasi-brother-in-law", which can explain a lot of problems.
So this lucky man named Jiao has caught the eye of your Bachelor Qin, and can he marry a girl from your Qin family?
Everyone couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that Jiao Xiucai's words that contradicted others just now were Qin Dewei's original intention or instruction?
And Gu Dongqiao's face was extremely ugly. He had surrendered so humbly, but you, Qin Dewei, were still unwilling to give in?
What should I do to let myself go so that I can comfortably retire in Nanjing in my later years? At my age, I'm afraid I won't have another ten years!
Jiao Wenjie suddenly shuddered and woke up. Just as he was about to say something, Qin Dewei scolded him: "Get out of here!"
Jiao Wenjie did not dare to say anything else and walked out in a gray manner. After leaving the East Garden, he squatted on the side of the road with his hands in his sleeves, waiting aggrievedly for Academician Qin to come out.
This person who had been playing tricks on me turned out to be Academician Qin himself. It was in vain that I had always imagined Academician Qin as a god.
Qin Dewei walked into the crowd as if nothing had happened. Gao Changjiang and his disciples wanted to come up to greet him, but Qin Dewei turned a blind eye and ignored him.
Finally, Qin Dewei stood next to Gu Dongqiao, and the invisible aura instantly made Gu Dongqiao's whole body tense.
Everyone has a bottom line. Gu Dongqiao swore that if he was humiliated by Qin Dewei again today, he would throw himself into the lake and commit suicide! He would use his life to make Qin Dewei bear a stain that could never be erased!
The other people's eyes followed Qin Dewei completely. At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. No one was sure how Qin Dewei would treat Gu Dongqiao.
In full view of everyone, Qin Dewei gently patted Old Man Gu on the shoulder and said seriously: "I have decided that you will continue to be the leader of the Nanjing literary circle."
What he said was shocking!
Everyone has already acquiesced that Qin Dewei is the leader of the Nanjing literary circle, so everyone is fighting for the title of host.
What is meant by a chairperson is a figure who presides over the literary world on behalf of the alliance leader when he is not in Nanjing. If the alliance leader is a king, the chairperson is also a minister.
But no one could have imagined that Qin Dewei would let Mr. Gu, who had been defeated by his subordinates for many years and disappeared from the Nanjing literary world for several years, continue to be the leader of the alliance.
This is strange, why is Qin Dewei not interested in the title of leader of the Nanjing literary circle?
This is different from the nature of an official position. No scholar will dislike this kind of title. Even if he is the Prime Minister, he will be happy to have the title of Leader of the Literary Circle.
Not to mention that Nanjing has a special political status and is completely different from other places.
Even Gu Dongqiao himself did not expect Qin Dewei to express his position like this.
For a moment, Gu Dongqiao, who had been afraid of well ropes for ten years, even suspected that Qin Dewei had set a trap! What conspiracy was waiting for him!
Therefore, Gu Dongqiao was stunned and did not dare to answer the question. If this was a big trap, it would be foolish to jump on his own initiative.
Faced with doubts, Qin Dewei faced everyone and explained calmly: "I took over the mantle of the retro style from the hands of Duke Junchuan, the chief minister of the Ministry of War. In the future, my ambition is to dominate the world literary world. How can I be limited to Nanjing?"
Everyone: ""
Very direct, very domineering, very Long Aotian's explanation!
If you want to give points, everyone will definitely give Bachelor Qin full marks, and there won’t even be any deductions. Don’t be afraid of Bachelor Qin’s pride. The pride in others’ eyes is just a basic operation for Bachelor Qin.
It turns out that Bachelor Qin, a mere Nanjing literary scholar, has become disdainful. Bachelor Qin wants to dominate the national literary circle. This is the pattern.
Gu Dongqiao suddenly relaxed. Qin Dewei finally didn't come to slap him in the face today. It seemed that the water was too cold.
After Qin Dewei finished speaking, he didn't give others a chance to ask, and left calmly and directly: "I am traveling with my family today, and I just passed by here. You continue."
The three young leaders with the highest Qin content gathered around them, but Qin Dewei still ignored them and continued to walk out of the crowd.
It was in his mouth that he suddenly started reciting a poem: "In the early days of meeting with the Alliance Jin, my heart was in Xianyang. The combined strength of the army was not unified, and the geese were hesitant.
Snobbery makes people fight, and heirs will fight against each other. The title of Huainan brother is carved in the north."
The three of them looked at each other and sighed.
Qin Dewei reunited with Mrs. Gu, borrowed a boat from the owner Xu Tianci, boarded the boat directly and went out from the water gate in the north of the East Garden, and then rafted out of Tongji Gate to continue the fun.
Outside the main gate of Dongyuan Land, Jiao Xiucai, who was waiting hard, had forgotten the time and the season.
He looked at the starry sky, felt the evening breeze on the spring night, and once again felt that the world was too malicious to him.

Is anyone still here? I originally wanted to write 2,000 words and then go to bed, but I ended up writing 4,000 words. Let’s just treat it as an update for the leader. Don’t worry about monthly tickets, they will be doubled in the next three days at the end of the month.
