The literary giants of the late Ming Dynasty began by copying books

Fang Damei shook her head after hearing this and said: "This time I went to Anyang to see the excavation of oracle bones. Even I have to admit that I didn't pay enough attention to oracle bones in the past. I have been an official in Henan for two years. Although I heard about this news during the process, I actually turned a blind eye to this matter. No matter how good I am, I should be scolded by people all over the world. I complained a little in my tone before. Although Wang Jianyang’s language was fierce, I still recognized that he was motivated by public interests."

Seeing that Fang Dazhen wanted to speak, Fang Damei stopped him and said: "This time when I return to Nanzhi, Junjie will pass the message for me. When you go to Tongye, don't let anyone be unable to hold back and make things worse. As long as Wang Wenlong's side Just relax."

"You..." Fang Dazhen's eyes widened, but in the end he could only sigh.

Fang Daxuan on the side nodded and said: "Brother Huang Zhong, I will try my best to speak out."

When Fang Dazhen and Fang Daxuan set off from Henan back to Zhili, it was already May of the 32nd year of Wanli, and the demon book case that had lasted for less than half a year finally came to an end.

The whole capital had been in turmoil for so long, but nothing was found in the end. Emperor Wanli personally approved that Juren Qiu Shengguang was the only criminal in the demon book case and sentenced Lingchi.

In fact, Emperor Wanli also knew that such a small official like Qi Shengguang could not be the mastermind behind the world-shaking demon book case. However, this case had too many implications. Not only was the Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party fighting to the death in the court, but also Zheng Zheng was involved. The imperial concubine and some members of the clan would not be able to make trouble if they continued, so Emperor Wanli simply put all the blame on Gao Sheng's bald head and killed him.

Although Gao Shengguang is dead, the aftermath of the demon book case is far from gone.

At this moment, Fang Daxuan and Fang Dazhen finally returned to Anqing Prefecture, Nanzhili from Henan. Fang Dazhen had a bad temper because Fang Damei did not let him collide with Wang Wenlong. He even had some objections to Fang Damei. So I simply stayed in my hometown in Anqing Mansion.

Fang Daxuan brought Fang Damei's letters and some gifts from Anqing to Yingtianfu, Nanjing, and went to visit Wang Wenlong in the Imperial College dormitory at the foot of Jilong Mountain.

When Fang Daxuan came to Wang Wenlong's home, Zhao Kan and Feng Congwu were also there. The founding meeting of Donglin Academy had just ended, and the two were preparing to return to Henan. This time they came north to visit Wang Wenlong's home.

"Mr. Shaoxu! I don't want you to be here too. Zhao Pingguo, I've heard of you for a long time. I'm glad to meet you." Fang Daxuan smiled and bowed his hands in salute.

Fang Daxuan also had a reputation as a scholar, and he was also a famous scholar in Nanjing. In the original history, he would be admitted to the Jinshi in a few years, and he also had an acquaintance with Feng Congwu.

"Brother Junjie." Feng Congwu also stood up with a smile.

After saying hello, Fang Daxuan looked at Wang Wenlong and complained: "Although Jianyang's appeal to protect the oracle bones is out of public interest, the newspaper published has really put our brother in a position that is criticized by thousands of people. Now he is under too much pressure. I don't know. Can Jianyang say a few nice words for him in the newspaper?"

After hearing this, Zhao Kan first asked: "Brother Junjie, has Fang Xunjian decided to help protect the oracle bones? This will require a lot of money."

Fang Daxuan nodded and said: "My elder brother has contacted the high officials in the DPRK, and the other party promised to send some money to Henan."

Feng Congwu and Zhao Kan's eyes lit up when they heard this. Feng Congwu quickly asked: "Who is the contact person?"

"It's Shen Shoufu."

Wang Wenlong was quite puzzled: "When did Mr. Chief Assistant promise to pay this amount of money?" Fang Daxuan promised: "This matter is important, and it will probably be this month."

Wang Wenlong pulled out the Di newspaper from the past few days from the drawer and pointed to the above article and said: "If it is this month, Shen Shoufu did request money, but the request was for the overhaul of the Ba River, and he did not mention the oracle bones?"

Fang Daxuan looked at the brand new newspaper carefully, and a look of doubt flashed on his face, "Does it mean it will be postponed to next month?"

Wang Wenlong asked, "Did Fang Xunzhi let the chief assistant take the blame?"

Fang Daxuan was dumbfounded: "This... the chief assistant personally replied to the letter, don't you think it's like this?"

Feng Congwu had a look of disillusionment on his face and poured cold water on him, saying, "If it was Chief Shen, he would probably have pushed back. I heard that the Donglin Party was the one who suggested the protection of the oracle bones. If it can be done, the Donglin gentleman will get the credit in the end. He How could the Zhejiang Party be willing to help the Donglin Party succeed? Shen Shoufu was also attacked for the oracle bone incident more than ten days ago, so he wanted to let the Henan Patrol Bureau also add fuel to the fire on this matter, so he casually stayed on one side and How can he be held responsible even if he blames others for the matter of opening his mouth?"

Fang Daxuan was stunned when he heard this, but after a long time, he said angrily: "If this is the case, we should go to Shangshu again, otherwise who will protect the oracle bones?"

Fang Daxuan is also a passionate scholar, and he also cares deeply about oracle bones. He was only willing to help Fang Damei as a lobbyist after he heard that oracle bones could be protected. He heard that the Zhejiang Party would regret it, but he did not even bother to do his job as a lobbyist. All forgotten.

"Fang Xun's supervision alone is not enough. When I went to Changzhou this time, I saw how serious the situation among Donglin people was. We might as well contact the Donglin Party to cause trouble for them!" Zhao Kan, as an epigrapher, even said Protecting the oracle bones was regarded as his fundamental task, but he actually wanted to involve this matter even more in the party struggle and suggested that Fang Damei also join the team.

"It's inappropriate to be so afraid." Wang Wenlong quickly stopped talking.

If the protection of oracle bones ends up being the result of the partisan struggle between the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party, the fate of those oracle bones will be miserable when the Donglin Party is in decline in the future. This is definitely not what Wang Wenlong wants to see.

Wang Wenlong analyzed the reasons and said: "If the Donglin Party comes forward, the Zhejiang Party's obstruction of this matter will only be more severe. How many people think about what kind of venue the Donglin Party uses to discuss government affairs? If the Donglin Party takes the lead in protecting The oracle bone incident is not only unacceptable to the Zhejiang Party, but also other parties in North Korea and China will come out to stop it."

Feng Congwu nodded when he heard this: "What Jianyang said is that they are afraid that another Donglin Academy will appear."

The places where the Donglin Party communicates with each other are academies and literary societies. The attitude of Donglin Party members toward literary societies such as academies and Oracle Bone Society is almost equivalent to building a church. Some academies can be used to agitate public opinion, unite comrades, and recruit students. Newcomer.

Later, during the Tianqi period, Feng Congwu came out of his connections with the Donglin Party and became the deputy censor of the capital. The first thing he did in the capital was to build a Shouxian Academy inside Xuanwumen with Gao Panlong, Ye Xianggao and other Donglin bigwigs.

The Donglin Party members used their hands and fingers to things like academies and literati associations, so much so that after the Eunuch Party came to power in history, they were so concerned about this that they "asked to destroy the world's forums" and proposed that "the death of the Song Dynasty was due to lectures. On the grounds that "severe punishment will be imposed", the famous Donglin Party academies such as Shoushan Academy and Donglin Academy were all forced to close down after the eunuch party came to power.

Now the protection of Oracle is in the spotlight, and the reputation of the Oracle Society is known all over the world. If they feel that this newly world-famous association will also become the mouth of the Donglin Party, other parties in the DPRK and China will definitely be dissatisfied with this and join forces. Opposition is possible.
