Ning Chen was really in the rain and waited until the last one before going in.
Although Ning Chen can completely use Qi and blood to evaporate all the rainwater on his body.
But after it has been performed to this extent, if it is steamed and dried, it will fall short.
Through such a performance, Ning Chen really realized how happy it is to be a sycophant.
Ning Chen would do this kind of thing only for the sake of completing his teacher's task.
By the way, the faces of these remnants of the previous dynasty were swollen, so Ning Chen would not suffer this crime.
Ning Chen passed by wetly, and Ting Yuxuan, the boss who was also wet, said in a low voice: "The essence of emotion is that it can never happen again. So if you are still wet in the rain, no one will even look at you."
Boss Qin clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were red.
All of this was originally designed by him.
Originally, he thought he could rely on this arrangement to allow the upper echelons of the Qin family to see him.
Let your status in the family get a qualitative improvement and leap.
However, I didn't expect that it would be self-defeating, and it would actually build Ning Chen's good reputation.
When Ning Chen entered Tingyuxuan, several group performances arranged by Zou Yang once again played a positive role.
Several people raised their hands to Ning Chen and said, "Thank you, Lord Ning, for speaking up for us!"
[Speaking uprightly] Even Ning Chen felt that these four words were a bit too much.
It's just a small shower, and it's a bit different from "Speaking for justice".
Although the words were a little overdone, the emotions were in place.
Everyone was a little angry at first, but now this emotion is superimposed.
Not to mention getting caught in the rain, even the smallest slight can arouse emotional resonance.
Therefore, the scholars present all followed suit and bowed to Ning Chen.
"Everyone, your words are serious, your words are serious." Ning Chen said politely in return.
Qin Lang, who had just calmed down and came in, saw the scene in front of him, and his blood rushed to his head again.
The situation has completely gotten out of control, let Ning Chen continue to perform.
The situation will go in a completely unpredictable direction.
Just when Qin Lang felt that it was difficult to deal with it, a wave of awe-inspiring righteousness covered the entire hall.
Suddenly all the moisture on all the Confucian scholars was evaporated.
Bai Yaoyao did not let this righteousness get close to Ning Chen.
At the same time, Ning Chen also took the opportunity to use his blood energy to steam the clothes dry from the inside out.
Feeling this majestic righteousness, all Confucian scholars turned to the source of this righteousness.
Behind everyone, I saw a handsome, middle-aged scholar with extraordinary bearing standing there. He saluted everyone and said: "It is my Qin family who has neglected you. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality."
place."
Seeing the middle-aged scribe saluting, all the Confucian scholars except Ning Chen changed their expressions slightly.
It's obvious that this person's identity is extraordinary.
Of course, his cultivation level is also extraordinary, Ning Chen has just experienced it.
Although Zou Yang gave Ning Chen information about some key figures in the Qin family, he only had text descriptions and no picture comparisons.
So Ning Chen didn't know who this person was.
"Qin Daru has insulted me and others. We are just getting wet in the rain. How dare we bother Qin Daru with such a courtesy?" Someone immediately returned the courtesy and said.
Others also agreed and expressed their unwillingness to accept it.
Ning Chen curled his lips from behind, feeling that this was not about convincing people with virtue or reason at all, but rather convincing people with strength.
You must know that not everyone can be called a great scholar.
Great Confucianism means that your Confucian cultivation is at least the sixth level.
And these Confucian scholars present are not without sixth grade, so it means that the great Confucian in front of you is at least fifth or fourth grade.
Just when Ning Chen felt that the other party was convincing people with force, he didn't expect that Qin Daru was actually still maneuvering.
"Qin Lang, come here." Qin Daru directly called Qin Lang's name.
Qin Lang's face turned pale, but he still walked over.
"Qin Lang, do you know where you went wrong?" Qin Daru asked directly.
Qin Lang said with a pale face: "I shouldn't be so slow to treat everyone."
Qin Lang was stunned for a moment after hearing what his elder said.
Could it be that this elder in my family thinks that he should treat the big guy slowly?
Under Qin Lang's doubts, Qin Daru also explained to Qin Lang: "It is wrong to be indifferent to others, but your bigger mistake is that you implicate innocent people in order to target one person.
Scholars like us should be open-minded, but you are so calculating.
In order to intimidate one person, so many innocent people were implicated.
As a result, I was plotted by others and made a big mistake.
This is your biggest mistake and biggest stupidity."
After listening to Qin Daru's words, Ning Chen realized that this Qin Daru was a little interesting.
He admitted directly that everything he did just now was just to give himself authority.
At the same time, he directly named him. Everything Ning Chen did just now was just a pretense to take advantage of the situation.
The clever thing about doing this is that if he said it first, Ning Chen was pretending to take advantage of the situation.
On the contrary, it will make people feel disgusted, and they feel that this is because the Qin family is not convinced and cannot afford to lose, and they are deliberately throwing dirty water on Ning Chen.
But now they admit their mistakes first, admitting that Qin Lang is narrow-minded and wants to plot against Ning Chen.
First show that you are magnanimous, and then name Ning Chen for taking advantage of the situation.
Such a frank statement will undoubtedly be convincing.
Although after doing this, I was also dirty.
But at the same time, Ning Chen couldn't be completely clean anymore.
The core idea of this operation is one, if I am not clean, you can't be alone.
The situation has directly changed from the overwhelming defeat just now to a 50-50 situation.
Qin Lang is not a fool. After being prompted by his own great scholar, he immediately understood and said with shame in his voice:
"My nephew knows I was wrong, I shouldn't be so narrow-minded.
I originally planned to use this method to let all students understand the position of my Qin family.
It shows that my Qin family is really standing up for everyone and really wants to fight for the interests of everyone and the court.
But it was self-defeating and innocent people were implicated. It was my fault and I apologize to you all."
After saying this, Qin Lang also faced everyone and bowed deeply.
In this way, the emotions were more concentrated on Ning Chen's side.
Among the Confucian scholars who came to listen to Yuxuan, apart from the internal support arranged by Zou Yang, the rest of them still preferred the Qin family from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially when they heard Qin Lang say that he wanted to represent everyone and test the court's sincerity.
I feel even more that I am making a fuss out of a molehill.
At the same time, I felt even more that everything Ning Chen did was just an act.
In a few words, the situation was completely reversed.
The charm of language lies in this.
"Although you two didn't name Ning, you are talking about me and Ning. You two are really honest." Ning Chen said with a sneer.
Qin Daru's words seemed to have opened up the two channels of Qin Lang's appointment and governor. As soon as Ning Chen finished speaking, he heard Qin Lang say: "The reason why we are so helpful is not because Lord Ning has great authority.
Today, a government official only slightly offended Mr. Ning with his words.
He was beaten fifty times by Lord Ning and hung up in public.
Mr. Ning has such great official authority that ordinary people dare not offend him."
This is another push and pull, and it also establishes Ning Chen's image as a cruel official.
It's just that Qin Lang undoubtedly underestimated Ning Chen. After hearing Qin Lang's words, Ning Chen retorted: "You are planning to give me power, but you still care about my official power. Don't you think what you said is contradictory?"
Qin Lang didn't know how to refute Ning Chen's words.
At this time, we have to watch the performance of the great scholar of the Qin family: "The sage said that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. As an upright gentleman, he should seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. This is not wrong."
When the conversation changed, the great scholar of the Qin family said again: "But as the sage said, a gentleman should do something and avoid doing something. Therefore, seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is just for personal safety. To show your authority to Mr. Ning, you are actually standing up for the scholars in the world."
It must be said that this book by the great scholar of the Qin family is really worth reading.
He said both pros and cons, and he also quoted from classics.
Every word he speaks is like a sage.
It sounded convincing to those Confucian scholars.
After explaining the position of the Qin family, the great scholar of the Qin family asked Ning Chen: "On the other hand, Mr. Ning, you do one thing in front of others and do another thing behind your back. Don't you think it is beneath the dignity of a scholar?"
With a slight flick, the dirty water was poured on Ning Chen.
After hearing this, Ning Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you think I beat up an official who offended me in the morning, and yet I'm still here at night pretending to be a noble and polite corporal? Do you think I'm doing the same thing on the surface but behind the scenes?"
"Of course." The great scholar of the Qin family said directly.
After Ning Chen heard this affirmative answer, he laughed even louder.
Just when the great scholar of the Qin family frowned and wondered why Ning Chen was laughing.
After laughing, Ning Chen said loudly: "I didn't know why the Zhou Dynasty died before, but now I finally understand it.
The Zhou Dynasty perished, the people suffered, and the human race suffered. It is because of your ‘appearance and appearance’.”
Without waiting for the Qin family scholar to ask questions, Ning Chen continued: "I represent the imperial court in the officialdom and am the parent and official of the people in the world. I should strictly abide by the laws of the imperial court so as not to violate the expectations of the people and the expectations of the human race.
If I still use that false appearance in the court, then I will be cutting off the livelihood of the people and cutting off the inheritance of the incense of the human race.
But I left the court and accepted your invitation to the Qin family's banquet. Then I am just one of the students in the world.
Without the status of a court official, I should remember that I am just one of the saint's students.
Whether it's polite to the virtuous corporal or standing up for everyone, these are what I should do as a Confucian scholar.
Only in this way can we truly live up to the world and live up to the human race."
Ning Chen's loud words fell in the hall, like thunder on the ground.
Let all the students present show their thoughts.
Moreover, the Qin family has no way to refute this.
Because he really died in the Zhou Dynasty.
With such a living example in front of you, if you want to refute it, you will have to make the Zhou Dynasty come back to life.
But is that possible?
At least not possible now.
The great scholar of the Qin family knew that their Qin family was defeated at this moment.
However, due to his efforts in the past, the Qin family's defeat in the first round was not too bad.
"The change of dynasties is not unique to the Zhou and Wu dynasties. This does not mean anything. The dispute between literati should be judged based on culture and talent." The Qin family scholar made a final concluding speech.
After hearing this, Ning Chen just smiled and said nothing.
Because there is nothing to say about this.
According to this rhythm, no matter what Ning Chen says, the great Confucian of the Qin family can respond by saying that culture and talent are the standards for testing Confucianism.
If you continue to pester, it will make Ning Chen look stingy.
So saying nothing is the wisest choice now.
As for who loses and wins this round.
Everyone present was smart, and everyone understood that the Qin family was defeated in this round.
Seeing that Ning Chen didn't answer, the Qin family scholar's expression changed slightly.
"Everyone, please take your seats. The literary meeting will begin soon." Qin Lang acted as a transition very well at this time.
So as not to embarrass Qin Daru further.
Ning Chen directly found a good seat by the window and sat down by the river.
Bai Yaoyao sat opposite Ning Chen.
The so-called literary meeting, to put it nicely, means that literary friends exchange knowledge with each other, but to put it more bluntly, it means to compare their academic performance.
The method of the cultural meeting is also very simple. Everyone can speak at will, whether it is poetry, song, or national policy review.
There are no specific genre restrictions.
But generally speaking, most of them are poems and songs.
Of course, there is also a theme of Wenhua, it depends on what you want.
Although there are no substantive rewards in the Wenhui, there are also intangible benefits.
Tingyuxuanhui will be responsible for helping to publish the most talented and literary articles among the literary societies at their own expense.
At that time, Ting Yuxuan will not take any of the profits generated from selling the books, and will transfer all of them to the author.
If it is a poem or song, Ting Yu Xuan will also sort it out and have it sung by Ting Yu Xuan's best actors to promote the author's name.
Such intangible rewards are more attractive to scribes than gold and silver.
Who doesn’t want his articles to be read by thousands of people?
However, the cost of printing, publishing and distribution is not a small sum.
Without any wealth, you really can't do this.
As for poetry and articles, it goes without saying.
The more widely it is sung, the more famous it will become.
A prosperous literary reputation means that it will be much easier for them to travel around the world in the future. It will also be easy for them to obtain a lot of resources.
And this promotion also requires a certain amount of influence.
These nobles from the previous dynasty had solutions for both of these problems.
These nobles from the previous dynasty had their own bookstores.
These nobles from the previous dynasty and other properties in their hands had long been taken back by the Wu Dynasty.
At the same time, Wu Dynasty also had a series of restrictions on the industries they wanted to enter.
But the Wu Dynasty did not restrict the practice of writing.
The main reason is that I am worried about being criticized.
Therefore, the largest bookstore chain in the Wu Dynasty was owned by the Qin family.
As for the dissemination of poems and songs, the Qin family has its own outstanding Qinghuan people to help.
These two things satisfied the needs of the scribes, but for the Qin family, they were a loss-making business.
However, the Qin family did not expect these two things to make money. Winning people's hearts is much more important than money.
Just when everyone was getting ready to start the cultural gathering, someone else arrived late.
This time a man and a woman came in.
The man is tall and slender. He wears a Confucian shirt and does not show off his poetic style.
The woman who came in wore a bamboo hat on her head, and there was a gauze scarf under the bamboo hat, covering the woman's face.
Although her appearance is obscured, you can tell just from her figure that she is a beauty.
But sitting opposite him was Bai Yaoyao, and Ning Chen was completely indifferent to this woman who came in late.
Because Ning Chen really didn't believe that this woman who came in could surpass Bai Yaoyao in appearance.
The man who came in walked up to Qin Daru and saluted respectfully: "I've met my uncle."
Qin Daru tilted his forehead slightly and motioned for him to sit down by himself.
The man who came in later saw Qin Daru's expression was not so good, so he didn't ask any more questions.
It was only after he settled the woman who came with him that he waved over Qin Lang to ask about the situation.
Qin Lang did not dare to hide anything and told everything about what had just happened.
After listening to Qin Lang's story, the man who came later also looked in the direction of Ning Chen.
But he hid it well and didn't show any anger.
But the arrogance on his face is very obvious.
Ning Chen didn't recognize the man and woman who came in later, but Ning Chen didn't bother to talk to them.
Even if a child of this kind of aristocratic family has some culture, Ning Chen doesn't think there will be any fundamental changes.
Although Ning Chen didn't know him, someone arranged by Zou Yang had a voice message to help Ning Chen clear up his doubts.
"Master Ning, the person sitting at the top is Qin Zizheng. He is the third in line among the Qin family's head and is a fourth-grade scholar."
"The man who came in later is named Qin Long. He is the most outstanding disciple of the next generation of the Qin family. He is now a fifth-grade Confucian scholar. He has made great achievements in poetry."
"The identity of the woman who came in with Qin Long is not yet known."
"Thank you." Ning Chen replied after hearing the information.
After Qin Long arrived, the literary meeting officially began.
Before the literary meeting began, Qin Long spoke first: "Everyone, the reason why Qin Mou is late today is because he went to invite an important guest. Ye Xianzi, Ye Ling."
After Qin Long finished saying Ye Ling's name, the scribes below all let out exclamations.
Only Ning Chen looked confused.
Fortunately, the explanation was even delivered.
"Master Ning, Ye Lingming is the dean of Zhainan Academy on the surface, but in fact he is the representative of the Yunxia clan in Qingzhou Mansion."
"It is said that the Yunchi clan once assisted the Qin family in its rise. Later, after the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, the Yunchi clan also retreated to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons."
"However, they have always maintained contact with these relics of the Zhou Dynasty, and have always tried to recreate the glory of the Yunji clan."
"As for Zhainanyuan, it is apparently a place to train actors and stewards, but in fact it is a place to collect intelligence."
"The Yunxia clan?"
Ning Chen muttered softly after hearing the information reported.
"What Yun Chi, it's just a water snake." Bai Yaoyao said after hearing what Ning Chen muttered.
Ning Chen was not surprised at all that Bai Yaoyao could see through Ye Ling's true form.
In fact, Ning Chen didn't believe that Ye Ling and the others were actually dragons.
After all, Yun Xuanzi said that the last dragon egg has always been in the hands of the Taoist sect.
Therefore, what Ye Ling and others call Yun Chi is most likely because he is too high and his worth is too high.
