. Ding Yunyi was attacked outside Suzhou City. Due to special considerations, not many people knew about it.
Zhang Pu came over after hearing the news and was shocked to see Ding Yunyi injured all over his body. He hurriedly told him to rest in peace and recuperate. He made excuses to postpone the completion of Jiangnan Academy for some time.
After a few days of nursing, with women like Gu Hengbo waiting on his side, and Deng Muzhi, Zhan Baoling was busy, hired famous doctors, and sent a large number of precious medicinal materials and supplements, and he was half healed.
Ding Yunyi wanted to return to Taiwan as soon as possible and did not dare to delay. He sent someone to find Zhang Pu and only said that his injury was no longer a problem. Zhang Pu felt relieved and scheduled the inauguration ceremony of Jiangnan Academy for three days later.
At that time, the scholars from Jiangnan had gathered in Suzhou, waiting for something of great significance to them: the completion of Jiangnan Academy.
It has long been spread among them that this largest academy in the Jiangnan region was built with the funding of Ding Yunyi, the general of Fujian Province and the uncle Wu Lie. As a result, the scholars' favorable impression of Ding Yunyi increased.
Although the original time for the inauguration ceremony was postponed, when they heard that Wu Liebo was "ill", these scholars had no complaints.
Seeing that on this day, many talented people gathered together, and the city of Suzhou suddenly became lively.
Among the people gathered here, many are prestigious sages and influential Confucians, and some of their names can be regarded as thunderous to Ding Yunyi:
The Deng family's family friends include Cao Yanhuan, Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi, Hou Fangyu, Mao Bijiang, the "four young masters", and Qian Qianyi, the leader of the poetry world...
Chen Zhenhui and Ding Yunyi have some fate. Back then, in Peach Blossom Tungsten, the two of them were very unhappy because of Chen Yuanyuan's affairs.
It's just that this time is different from the past. He, Ding Yunyi, has been knighted and has a stronghold. And what about Chen Zhenhui? Although he is the "fourth young master", he is not the same as Ding Yunyi in terms of reputation and status.
Ding Yunyi was still injured and needed someone to take care of him. Although he had Duan Saner, the man was clumsy and the girls were not at ease. Therefore, they entrusted Liu Rushi to stay with Ding Yunyi in men's clothing.
On this day, hundreds of people came to Jiangnan Academy, and the most important ones among them. In addition to the scholar leader Zhang Pu and others, they were Suzhou magistrate Deng Muzhi and Wu Liebo Ding Yunyi...
Zhang Pu figured that the auspicious moment had arrived, so he asked everyone to quiet down. He first said a few clichés, and then changed the subject:
"As you all know, the Jiangnan Academy was originally Pu's concern, but unfortunately he did not have enough financial resources to do anything about it. Later, I traveled to Fujian and met a man there. This man's respect for scholars cannot be used.
Words can express it. When he heard that I wanted to build Jiangnan Academy, he generously donated 50,000 taels of silver to help me succeed. Everyone, this 50,000 taels of silver may be nothing in the eyes of others, but this
At that time, I was living with the lives of 200,000 disaster victims, and I was in urgent need of money everywhere. This kind of kindness is truly commendable..."
Having said this, he turned to Ding Yunyi and said: "President Ding, please accept Zhang Pu's bow!"
"No, no, not sir!" Ding Yunyi said hurriedly.
Zhang Pu didn't want to but said seriously: "I am not praying for myself, but for the scholars all over the world. Mr. Ding is still standing still!"
Ding Yunyi had no choice but to stand there and accept Zhang Pu's bow.
Those great Confucian scholars instantly became a sensation. It was remarkable that Zhang Pu, the leader of scholars in the world, actually worshiped Ding Yunyi.
In their hearts, Ding Yunyi, Wu Liebo, was not as important as Zhang Pu. However, Zhang Pu's actions invisibly elevated Ding Yunyi's identity to a very important position in the hearts of these people.
Several of Zhang Pu's disciples brought up a plaque covered with red cloth. Zhang Pu said: "Deng Huangtang, President Ding, please."
Ding Yunyi and Deng Muzhi were originally here to unveil the inauguration ceremony of Jiangnan Academy, so they were not polite at the moment, and they unveiled the big red cloth one by one.
Suddenly, four big characters written by Zhang Pu appeared in front of everyone:
Jiangnan Academy!
In an instant, drums and music were blaring and firecrackers were blasting. The inauguration ceremony of Jiangnan Academy was completed.
For Ding Yunyi this time, his biggest gain was that through Zhang Pu, he once again improved his status in the minds of scholars.
Once this day passes, no scholar in the world will recognize Ding Yunyi.
Zhang Pu held a grand banquet, but the money for the banquet was provided by Deng Muzhi, the prefect of Suzhou.
Ding Yunyi was the biggest official here. After repeated rejections, he was still invited to the top. Liu Rushi sat next to him. Ding Yunyi suddenly smiled and said to Deng Muzhi:
"Deng Huangtang, speaking of which, I still owe you some money."
Deng Mu was stunned and didn't understand what he meant. He only heard Ding Yunyi laugh and say: "Are there any victims coming to ask for food?"
Deng Muzhi suddenly laughed: "It's okay if I don't tell you, but I was really shocked when I mentioned that time. Early that morning, as soon as I opened the city gate, I suddenly saw thousands of refugees outside the city. Good guy,
It was so dense that I couldn't see the end of it. The city gate official quickly closed the city gate and came to report to me that I thought the bandit was here again. He quickly led people to the city gate. Who expected that I just showed up, and the refugees shouted in unison
Shouting, saying that Ding Yunyi asked them to come to me for food. I didn't believe it at first, and scolded them for how dare they call you by your name. Later, when I saw the letter written by you, I realized that it was you who asked them to come.
....."
Ding Yunyi sighed: "Suzhou is rich, but the Central Plains is very rare. I really have no choice but to let them reach Taiwan alive, so I have to come to Suzhou to find you first. Deng Huangtang has spent a lot of money this time, and I will double it as agreed.
Return it."
But Deng Muzhi's face straightened: "What did Wu Liebo say? In public terms, you are Wu Liebo, the commander-in-chief of Fujian Province. I am just a small Suzhou prefect, and I should take orders from you. In private terms, you are me.
My brother-in-law, why should I count money when I want my family to do something? Furthermore, I also sympathize with the victims. Wu Liebo was a good person, so why can’t I do the same? If I make a lot of money by helping the victims, I
Is he still considered a human being? Don’t mention money."
These words made Ding Yunyi admire him in his heart. He also respected Deng Muzhi more and more. He never thought that the person in front of him who spoke so righteously was actually the person Ding Yunyi had made friends with in his life. Chapter 333 That...
"
As soon as everyone heard this, they concentrated their attention, and Zhang Pu slowly read out the article written by Ding Yunyi in the "Meixiang Tower". When he read the sentence "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world," the whole house was in an uproar.
....
"Uncle Wu Lie is a great talent!" Cao Yanhuan said respectfully: "There are not many people in the world who can write these few words. I admire you, I admire you."
Chen Zhenhui was speechless. He originally wanted to ridicule Ding Yunyi for not studying and relying only on force, but he did not expect that Ding Yunyi was an "all-rounder in both civil and military affairs." So he drank in silence without saying a word.
Liu Rushi's wonderful eyes were fixed on Ding Yunyi and refused to move away for a moment, as if he had just recognized this person...
Ding Yunyi was terrified, fearing that someone would ask him to write poems or essays again, so he quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Ximing, after Jiangnan Academy is completed, I am going back to Taiwan. I have been away from Taiwan for a long time this time, and I am worried about it.
, I don’t dare to stay long.”
Zhang Pu nodded slightly: "Taiwan, our Fujian coastal barrier must not be lost. It is time to go back early. I heard people say that Wu Liebo is extremely brave. He must be the first in every battle and be wounded in every battle. Wu Liebo is the pillar of my court.
, you need to take more care of that.”
Ding Yunyi agreed and then said casually: "When I came to Suzhou this time, I met Mr. Xu Yuqing on the way. I admired his talent and encouraged him repeatedly, and finally got him to agree to go to Taiwan. With his help, Taiwan will be able to make rapid progress."
.I want to entrust him with important responsibilities and reward him with a lot of money. What does Mr. Ximing think?"
"Xu Yuqing, this person still has some talents..." Zhang Pu nodded slightly, but he felt a little disapproval in his heart.
Although Xu Yuqing is a famous scholar, he is by no means a great Confucian. There are many scholars in Jiangnan who can serve Ding Yunyi. For example, there are many outstanding students among his disciples, so why bother to hire Xu Yuqing who is not famous enough?
But if you think about it more carefully, this is because Ding Yunyi values scholars and is not familiar with local people in Jiangnan; secondly, it also shows that he is very thirsty for talents. Even people like Xu Yuqing can be reused. What if someone he recommended goes there?
Is there a reason why it is not taken seriously?
When he thought this way, he had the idea of recruiting talents for Ding Yunyi in his heart. But he didn't know that this was exactly the effect Ding Yunyi wanted.
Xu Yuqing is just a bait, a "horse bone" that attracts a large number of talents to defect to Taiwan, and now his goal has been achieved...
Deng Muzhi picked up the wine glass and said: "Everyone, I gave birth to Wu Liebo in the Ming Dynasty. It is a blessing for the court. It is also my luck that Wu Liebo can become the son-in-law of the Deng family and my brother-in-law. Wu Liebo is loyal and brave.
, even I wish I could stop being the prefect and follow him into battle. Come, let me drink a glass to Uncle Wu Lie."
Everyone at the table stood up, and Ding Yunyi also stood up. After finishing his glass of wine, he heard Liu Rushi whisper in his ear:
"I don't really like this prefect."
Ding Yunyi smiled and didn't take it seriously.
In his mind, Deng Muzhi was honest, incorruptible and caring for the people, and no one in Suzhou would not praise him for his good qualities. What Liu Ru said was just a woman's illusion.
Liu Rushi glanced at Deng Muzhi, and there was always a feeling in his heart that this prefect was really not a good person, but looking at Ding Yunyi, he didn't seem to believe what he said. (You are welcome to support me, that is)
