Saint of the Confucian way

On the tenth day of the first month, the holy apricot Club officially began.

From the early morning, a steady stream of scholars arrived outside the Xiangzhou Academy of literature from all directions and entered the venue one after another through the gate formed by tiantianbei.

Tiantianbei completely copied the scene of the Academy of Arts, but the area was expanded dozens of times.

In the middle of Wenyuan square, there is a square apricot forest. In the center of the apricot forest, the white fog is filled.

Everyone knows that in the white fog, there is the legendary small apricot altar, which is the two holy apricots formed by Fang Yun's lecture.

To the north of Xinglin is a solemn Holy Temple. There is no seat in the open space between the two.

To the south of Xinglin is the main gate of the Academy of Arts. The square space between them is full of seats.

The seats closest to Xinglin are neat round tables surrounded by well-made mahogany master chairs. Here are the seats of monarchs, great Confucianism and great scholars of various countries.

After that, there were no round tables and many ordinary chairs, which were the seats of Hanlin and Jinshi in various countries.

After that, there are all brand-new wooden benches, which are made in large quantities by university scholars of the engineering family. All scholars can sit here.

Non scholars are not allowed to enter the Shengxing Wen club, which is more demanding than the previous Mid Autumn Festival Wen club.

Those great scholars and scholars did not come, but there were many scholars in other places, from children to scholars.

Scholars from all over the world come together, sit next to each other, place food, drinks, talk about books and papers, talk about heaven and earth, and have the posture of starting a small cultural conference before the start of the St. apricot cultural conference.

In the afternoon, the whole Yueyang City seemed empty.

Those non scholars in Yueyang city looked ambitiously at the Academy of Arts, both envious of those who could participate in the holy apricot literature club and glad that they were about to leave. For the local residents of Yueyang City, foreign scholars are business opportunities, but too many have become a burden.

In the evening, great scholars, great Confucians and monarchs came to the seats one after another, and the originally noisy cultural conference site slowly calmed down.

Just the natural breath of a great Confucian is enough to make all scholars dare not make a noise.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a purple robe came to the front of the big Confucian seat and under the apricot forest.

The middle-aged man's temples are frosty white, his eyebrows are like two swords, and his eyes are as bright as stars.

He just swept at random. Everyone under the great Confucian instinctively bowed his head and dared not meet his eyes.

Everyone saw the sharp sword in his eyes.

Li Wenying's eyes seemed to stay for a moment on the Qingguo seat.

Many people, especially Qingguo scholars, looked at the famous sword eyebrow Gong Li Wenying with complex faces. In those years, this person overwhelmed many Qingguo scholars of the same generation. If Li Wenying was not unparalleled in literary warfare, but his poetry was a little inferior, Qingguo scholars were like a nightmare in those years.

However, in an area where great scholars and scholars gathered in Qingguo, all Qingguo people there smiled and did not hide their confidence in their smiles.

Because among them sat a great Confucian who had repeatedly defeated Li Wenying in Wenbi.

He is a top three scholar, a father and son with four bachelor degrees, and Ji Anchang of Ji family.

Literary warfare is not as good as literature, but in terms of romantic poetry, Ji Anchang was even better than Li Wenying in that year.

Although Ji Anchang is a great Confucian, he has been acting secretly these days. He has not even gone to the holy courtyard to accept the new literary position. Even his clothes are the old scholar's green clothes, not the great Confucian purple robe.

All the people at his table are university students.

Zong Xueyan, beside Ji Anchang, whispered: "Brother Anchang, although you keep a low profile these days, countries have long known that this will make you difficult to make a big splash. However, it's OK that ordinary scholars don't know. As long as the cultural society ends, we will certainly make you the only winner of the cultural society. It's just... You really have confidence that the cultural pressure will be on everyone, including Li Wenying?"

Ji Anchang smiled and said: "Ji has been practicing hard for many years in order to suppress Li Wenying again! Unfortunately, Li Wenying is the host of this cultural association and has an advantage. I still don't know whether he writes poetry first or last, or even may not participate in poetry writing. If he writes poetry first, I will do it immediately. If he writes poetry last, I will go in two steps. First, I will make a poem to test, and finally wait for him to write it After finishing the poem, I forcibly got up to recite the poem and stabilized it. Of course, if he didn't write poetry, I couldn't help it. "

Zong Xueyan smiled: "Don't worry about this. Li Wenying and Fang Yun are close friends. Since this meeting is to chant Fang Yun, he has no reason not to participate. Moreover, we are ready. If Li Wenying doesn't write poetry at the end, we will force Li Wenying with fierce force. If he doesn't write poetry, his literary name will be damaged and his relationship with Fang Yun will be alienated. Therefore, at that time, he can only be hard "Write poetry."

"Well, as long as Li Wenying can write poetry, I'm sure to win him." Ji Anchang looked proud. Although he had never won the literary war with Li Wenying in those years, he won seven or eight in terms of poetry.

Zong Xueyan said, "that's good. However... In order to stimulate Li Wenying and scholars in Jingguo, I want to disclose the news in advance that you want to press Li Wenying. I wonder if you can agree?"

"As long as you can force Li Wenying to write poetry, everything can be done!" Ji Anchang said.

Zong Xueyan nodded gently, but he sighed in his heart that the psychological trauma left by Li Wenying to Ji Anchang was too serious. Although Ji Anchang was promoted to a great Confucian by virtue of his talent and efforts, if he did not completely defeat Li Wenying and wash away his shame, it would be the limit to get together in the two realms, and he would never reach the realm of governing the country. After all, it was a great stain that Li Wenying scared him away before the Wen war.

Ji Anchang's return this time is not so much a return to his hometown as a necessity for a higher realm.

When they were chatting, Li Wenying had finished his opening speech. When he turned aside, he saw that the apricot trees arranged like a wall moved slowly to both sides, and finally revealed the complete small apricot altar in the apricot forest.

The small apricot altar was the place where hundreds of officials in Xiangzhou gave lectures that day. There were still various futons on the ground. In addition, there were two exceptionally tall apricot trees.

Sixteen foot apricot tree.

Every apricot tree is covered with golden apricots.

At the moment when the apricot altar opened, the strong fragrance of holy apricot spread throughout the audience.

Many scholars inhaled desperately, hoping to get more holy apricot aroma.

Even if the aroma is far inferior to the holy apricot itself, if ordinary people absorb it, their chances of promotion to children will greatly increase.

Some Jingguo scholars or officials present tried their best to absorb the holy apricot, but there was no joy on their faces.

At that time, Fang Yun gave lectures at the Academy of Arts. These people expressed their position and did not follow Fang Yun, but then a small apricot altar was formed. Those officials on Fang Yun's side directly absorbed a large amount of apricot pollen, their strength was improved, and their future was unlimited. Those who did not participate in the lecture lost the easiest chance of promotion in this life.

Since the formation of xiaoxingtan, Xiangzhou has been called the iron square party's sphere of influence, even more than Mizhou. Several times the imperial court wanted to arrange non party officials in the important government offices of Xiangzhou, but they all encountered Xiangzhou officials fighting with other party officials. However, the imperial court did not dare to tear the skin with Fang Yun, so it had to stop to avoid the intensification of contradictions, so that it had been unable to put nails in Xiangzhou.
