Daming talker

Chapter 205

Although those from the Qingliu faction had left, the floor sweeper Lin Tailai did not leave, and was still cleaning slowly on the platform in front of the palace gate, surrounded by some scholars and discussing for a while.

Lin Tailai's act of blocking the hall door to clean it made it very inconvenient for the new scholars who came to offer incense, and they had to ask the people who arrived first what happened.

So it has the effect of spreading the word to ten, ten to hundreds, and the legendary story of the sweeping student and the great scholar debating the scriptures gradually spread.

After the latecomers heard the narration of the first comers, they could immediately see the brilliance of the temple sweeper.

As far as the inside and outside of the palace gate, Lin Tailai had been diligently cleaning until the afternoon, which caused a huge hindrance to the scholars who came to offer incense.

It wasn't until the evening that the sweeper surnamed Lin put away his broom and went back to the room arranged by the Imperial College to rest.

The number room is a single dormitory. There are thousands of number rooms in the Guozijian in use, and it is a little fun for the sweepers.

In the evening, Lin Tailai accompanied Zhao Zhigao, Zuo Yude's attendant and secretary of the Imperial Academy, for dinner.

"I heard that you debated scriptures with Gu Jingyang today?" Zhao Zhigao asked.

Lin Tailai sighed: "It's a pity, even though we tried our best, we couldn't decide the winner. We were lucky to draw, and even fell slightly behind."

Zhao Zhigao: "."

Then Gu Jingyang is one of the top three scholars in the Jiangnan area, and the Spring and Autumn Classics are the two classics he is best at, what else do you think?

Then Zhao Zhigao said: "I originally thought that Gu Jingyang was going to criticize Wang Xue, but I didn't expect to talk about Chunqiu."

Wang Xue is Wang Yangming's Xin Xue, the most fashionable academic school in the late Ming Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tailai quickly asked, "Is this Mr. Gu against Wang Xue?"

Zhao Zhigao was very puzzled and asked back: "You don't even know these academic contexts, how dare you mix in the academic circle and find someone to debate the scriptures?"

Lin Tailai explained: "I like to study literature in my next life, and I put all my energy on poetry."

Only then did Zhao Zhigao continue to say: "Otherwise, how did you think that Gu Jingyang's words "righteous way and true Confucianism" came from?

These four words are aimed at Wang Xue. In Gu Jingyang's view, Wang Xue is not the righteous way, nor is it true Confucianism.

Among today's scholars, Gu Jingyang is the one who criticizes Wang Xue the most. "

Lin Tailai was thoughtful, and said casually: "It seems that I will also review Wang Xue, and I will meet Gu Jingyang when I have a chance to debate the classics."

"It seems that you also admire Wang Xue." Zhao Zhigao said.He is not surprised by this, after all, Wang Xue is too popular now.

Lin Tailai denied it and said: "No, no, I don't advocate the study of mind, but I prefer the study of qi."

Zhao Zhigao couldn't understand, "Then why are you studying Wang Xue?"

Official Lin replied frankly: "I just want to find a reason to argue with Gu Jingyang again!"

Zhao Zhigao: "."

How many lifetimes of virtue did Gu Xiancheng accumulate to meet someone like you?

After that, Zhao Zhigao didn't want to talk about Gu Xian anymore, and the more he talked, the more he sympathized with him, and he talked about other things:
"On August [-]th, there will be no real accident, right? Officials like Hai Gangfeng are rare in ancient and modern times. It would be a pity if something happened."

Zhao Zhigao knew very well why Lin Tailai was dismissed by Hai Rui. The main reason was that he disagreed on whether to continue the high pressure.

Others may not be clear, but Zhao Zhigao has already learned from Lin Tailai how tough Hai Rui's attitude is, and he is even ready to sacrifice himself.

August [-]th, the end of the third round of the rural examination, must be a breaking point.

Even an outsider like Zhao Zhigao, who knew the inside story, was worried about the situation.

Lin Tailai also sighed, and replied: "At that time, I will think of a way to fish out Hai Qingtian."

Zhao Zhigao praised: "You are also a responsible person."

Today's heated debate on the Spring and Autumn Classics outside the Dacheng Hall quickly reached the ears of Wang Shizhen, the leader of the literary circle.

"Jingyang is incompetent." Wang Shizhen sighed helplessly.

Given the opportunity for you, Gu Xiancheng, to meet face-to-face, and in the field of Spring and Autumn Classics, which you are best at, you can't even give Lin Tailai a serious blow?
But fortunately, the intention of letting the Qingliu forces attract Lin Tailai's attention was achieved, and Lin Tailai was indeed staring at Gu Xiancheng.

Then the leader of Wang Lao said to Hu Yinglin, his left hand: "You take my post to visit Gu Jingyang, and make an appointment to get together.

I want to appease and encourage him carefully, lest he leave Nanjing in despair, and let him persist until after the literary conference is over. "

Then the old leader Wang asked Feng Shike, his right arm, "Let's not talk about their Donglin faction, how is our preparation for the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th?"

There are three elegant gatherings in the literary conference, and it is expected that the Mid-Autumn Festival will be the first one.

Feng Shike replied: "According to senior's instructions, we have already borrowed a large three-story building ship!

At that time, you can stop along the river and move randomly, and you will definitely be able to isolate Lin Tailai from the outside! "

Wang Shizhen nodded, "Very good! Now it seems that the building boat is indeed the safest way.

No matter what building or garden it is in, Lin Tailai may get in. Only the building is the most independent space.

Even if Lin Tailai finds a place, he can only stand on the shore and sigh! "

"Senior's advice!" Feng Shike couldn't help asking again: "Where will it be docked then?"

Originally, this was a secret, and Wang Shizhen didn't want to reveal it easily, but if Feng Shike kept it a secret, it would be too chilling.

So the leader of the old alliance still replied: "The first choice is next to Wuding Bridge. There must be a lot of people there that night, which can add atmosphere to the gathering."

Wuding Bridge and its surrounding areas are the only way for most places in Nanjing to flow into the Qinhuai Old Courtyard Area. The traffic flow that night can be imagined.

The experienced old leader must also know how crazy the candidates will be when the exam ends on August [-]th.

On this special night, if there is some fun on the shore, that would be even better. Is Yaji not lively?

After that, the literary world in Nanjing suddenly calmed down, because the much-anticipated Yingtianfu Township Examination officially started.

In front of such a level of examination, even the brilliance of Daguan Lin is not enough to see.

This time the provincial examination had nothing to do with Lin Tailai. His martial arts examination was in September, and Lin Tailai could only act as a spectator in August.

The most important of the three township examinations is the first one, and the first one is basically the only way to get a scholar.

The importance of the second and third rounds is much different, so the patience of candidates is getting lower and lower.

When it came to the third session on August [-]th, many examinees couldn't wait until the end, handed in the papers early in the afternoon, and then roared out of the examination room relaxed.

Some people went back to their residences to rest for a while, while others went straight to Qinhuai Old Courtyard.

Basically, no one travels alone, most of them are in groups of friends and companions, looking for a place to vent the pressure brought about by the exam.

Before they knew it, hundreds of people had gathered at the crossing of the old Chaoku Street under the Wuding Bridge leading to the Qinhuai Old Courtyard, and the number continued to increase.

The reason why they all gathered here and did not move on was because there were two rows of sergeants lined up at the intersection, blocking the way forward.

If it's just a sergeant intercepting here, it's fine, hundreds of soldiers will definitely dare to charge over.

But behind the sergeant, there was a second-rank senior official in his 70s, everyone knew him, and it was Hai Ruihai Qingtian, the censor of the right capital.

At this time, Hai Zhongcheng was standing behind the sergeant, wearing a crown and robe, with a scrupulous expression on his face.

More and more people gathered under the Wuding Bridge, the number spread from a few hundred to a thousand, and most of them were scholars who had just finished their exams.

Their mood is just when they desperately need to relax, but they are stuck here, unable to advance or retreat, and their emotions gradually become unstable and irritable.

I don't know who took the lead, everyone kept shouting together: "Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!"

Hundreds of people shouted together, and it was heard from thousands of miles away, shaking both sides of the strait.

Anyway, the exams have already been completed by this time, and everyone is not afraid of being banned from the exams, let alone being restrained.

Pushing each other, the crowd moved forward slowly as a whole, gradually approaching the sergeant blocking the intersection.

The atmosphere is very grim, and fierce conflicts seem to be on the verge of breaking out.

But Hai Rui still didn't move, and stood firmly behind the sergeant, as if it was the second line of defense.

But once a conflict breaks out, there is no way to avoid it in this not-so-wide riverside bridgehead crossing.

After the elderly in their 70s are involved in the chaotic crowd, they will not have a good ending. If they fail, they will fall to the ground and be trampled to death by the crowd.

But Hai Rui was still unmoved, he didn't seem to care about sacrificing himself, and he didn't care what others thought of him.

Even if he can't reverse this depraved atmosphere in the end, he is willing to die for it, as long as he thinks what he is doing is right.

Half a mile downstream of the river, on the building boat, the leader Wang, who plans to hold an elegant gathering on Mid-Autumn Festival tonight, and his disciples and old friends are standing by the railing on the top deck.

Looking down at this thrilling scene on the upstream bank, the old leader Wang couldn't help being moved.

He expected that a large number of scholars would break out and attack the ban, but he didn't expect Hai Rui to carry it so desperately.

Feng Shike had some admiration for Hai Rui, and asked, "Senior, as the leader of the literary world, can't you think of a way?"

The old leader Wang shook his head and said: "Human nature is like this, how can manpower be able to restore it? Hai Gangfeng wants to be martyred, who can stop him?"

Looking at the approaching crowd and the crumbling defense line of sergeants, Hai Rui looked calm and calm, waiting for the moment of chaos to come.

At the critical moment, Hai Rui suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from behind.

He turned around strangely and looked back, only to see hundreds of women rushing out from several alleys in the Nanqu Old Courtyard area, and then they all ran towards him holding the corners of their skirts.

Hai Rui didn't know the leading woman at the front, but everyone else recognized her.

Who else is it not Nanqu Xingshou, Jinling Twelve Beauties No. [-], and Jizhong hero Ma Xianglan?
At this moment, Hai Rui dispatched most of his staff to the street corner to intercept the swarming scholars, so there were only two or three attendants around him.

Just as he was stunned, Hai Qingtian was surrounded by hundreds of women.

Ma Xianglan took a step forward, and said to Hai Rui: "Although my family admires Qingtian, I have never heard of it. Since ancient times, there has been a master Qingtian who deliberately cut off the way of life! I beg Hai Qingtian to play the song and let the sisters live!"

Hai Qingtian, who is in his 70s, has never encountered such a crowd of fans before, and he is in a daze.

Another woman with a violent temper rushed up and shouted at Hai Rui: "If Grandpa Qingtian really sees that our immorality is wrong, he will order our sisters to be killed directly. We won't be able to survive anyway!"

Immediately, hundreds of women chattered loudly, and someone took advantage of the chaos to untie the sachet and smashed it at Hai Rui.

So many others in the crowd followed suit, and Hai Qingtian was attacked by more than a dozen sachets in the blink of an eye.

We can't blame these women for going too far, after all, what Hai Rui did was life-threatening.

Hai Qingtian, who has always been decisive and decisive, faced hundreds of women who were cornered, and was at a loss for a while, without a plan in his mind.

Originally, manpower was very tight, so he had to deploy all his men on the front line to intercept the scholars, but he never expected that the back road would be outflanked and attacked by the assembled women's army!
So now there is no manpower available at all, and two or three long attendants can't solve any problems!

What's more, no matter how hard-hearted Hai Rui is, he can't order the killing of women who are forced by life.

With nothing to do, hundreds of women gradually pushed Hai Qingtian to the shore, with the Qinhuai River behind him!
Leng Buding hit the sachet on the head again, Hai Qingtian couldn't help but lamented in his heart, there was never anything wrong, and he came out of the Ming Dynasty!

The dignified generation of Qing Tian was forced to jump into the river by a woman!

People on the bridge, on the boat, and at the intersection were also stunned by this unexpected situation, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

It would be big news if Hai Qingtian was forced to jump into the river by hundreds of prostitutes.

Just at this time, a flat boat suddenly drove up from the river.

There were only three people on board, two scholars were in charge of rowing the boat vigorously, and a tall figure was in charge of standing proudly on the bow.

"Don't worry about the prime minister in the sea, I, Lin Tailai, will definitely save you from the wind and dust!" The tall figure at the bow shouted.

All the people who heard the shout were speechless, and the one who really stepped on the horse was saving people from the "wind and dust".

Then when the ship approached the shore, amidst the exclamation of everyone, the tall figure jumped up and jumped from the bow to the shore.

He also saw Lin Tailai open his wide arms and block in front of Hai Rui without hesitation.

"Hai Zhongcheng just needs to be at ease, I will do my best to keep Hai Zhongcheng safe!"

Then Lin Tailai shouted aggressively to the women: "Suzhou Lin Tailai is here, who dares to step forward!
Everyone who is sensible, back off, or don't blame me for being so hot! "

There really was a dazed woman who rushed forward and "spit" at Lin Tailai.

But Lin Tailai dodged it easily, and then hit him flying with an iron fist with his backhand, not used to it!
At this time, two rowing scholars also climbed ashore out of breath, but without saying a word, they supported Hai Qingtian from left to right.

Hai Qingtian was old and sick at this time, and was very light in weight. Before he could react, he was lifted onto Lin Tailai's broad back by two scholars.

Then two scholars stood in front of the women and shouted: "Friend Lin, take Hai Zhongcheng away! I, Songjiang Dong Qichang, will cut off the heir for you!"

Then Lin Tailai firmly supported Hai Rui on his back, and ran wildly along the river bank.

Hai Rui hurriedly shouted, "You put this court down!"

Lin Tailai ran wildly and shouted: "Don't worry, my lord!
I will save people to the end, send the Buddha to the West, and I will definitely send you to a safe place! "

Hai Rui cursed angrily, "You bastard! Don't think that this court doesn't know that it's you!"

Lin Tailai answered the chicken and the duck: "Helping the crisis and saving the disaster is what a righteous man of our generation should do, so you don't have to thank me, my lord!"

Standing on the top deck of the building ship, the leader Wang Lao had a clear view of the "Jiu Fengchen" on the upstream bank, but felt that something was wrong.

The figure of Lin Tailai running wildly with Hai Rui on his back was getting closer and closer, and the uneasy feeling of the old leader Wang became more and more intense.

Suddenly Lin Tailai stopped still, and shouted to the leader Wang who was standing by the railing on the top deck of the ship in the Hedao Building:
"Hai Qingtian is in trouble here! I don't know who is on board, but Wan Wang lends a helping hand and lets us aboard first!"

The leader of the old alliance: "."

Can I say something to poke your mother?
　Ask for a monthly pass!Don't say that I don't write as much as others, but this kind of writing is already laborious.
