"The peach blossom hermitage in the peach blossom dock, the peach blossom fairy under the peach blossom hermitage;

The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees, and picked peach blossoms to sell wine for money.

When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers;

Half-awake and half-drunk, day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year. ”

Tang Bohu likes this imperial poem very much, and because of this poem, he has to admit that His Majesty the current emperor is a talented king, and even in his heart, he regards this king as a confidant, because he found through this poem that this king and his own hearts are connected, and each other is actually a casual and unruly person.

Although His Majesty the Emperor has always tried his best to establish rules, let the eunuchs abide by the rules, let the civil officials follow the rules, and even made a rule for himself, such as the outline of the constitution.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Bohu resolutely strengthened his heart to follow and be His Majesty's attendant to the emperor, instead of choosing to pretend to be crazy and stupid, just like he ran naked in the original history to avoid King Ning's recruitment.

"Your Majesty, why is he so talented! It's not just that this peach blossom poem is done well, Linjiang Immortal is also written well, the rolling Yangtze River is passing away, tsk, you can't get it unless you have a big mind and a big creator! ”

Tang Bohu sighed again, and immediately put the new newspapers and periodicals in his hand and began to review them carefully, he reviewed them very seriously, which was very different from his casual style when he inquired about the news in the market, this is because Zhu Houzhao once told him that he was the real first person in the literary world of the Ming Dynasty, so only he was worthy of being the mouthpiece of the Ming Emperor.

The death of a confidant, Tang Bohu has always thought that he is the first person in the literary world, and now that His Majesty the Emperor has said so, he is naturally determined to act as Zhu Houzhao's mouthpiece.

In recent years, he has also tried his best to defend some of Zhu Houzhao's actions that do not conform to the traditional Confucian sense, and he has also tried his best to use his understanding of the scholar class and the people at the bottom to expose some ugliness of the scholar class.

However, at this time, Tang Bohu saw a new article from a new journal called "Rulin Zhengdao", and after reading it, he couldn't help laughing:

"This is the style of the champion Lun's writing, does this benevolent brother regard the people of the world as the chief examiner of the examination, and he is full of it! It's just bullshit! However, since you Lun Wenxu dare to refute Mr. Yang Ming (Wang Shouren's name is Yang Ming, and now the governor of Gao Ju is also an academic leader, so he naturally deserves the title of Mr. Tang Bohu), then Tang will also refute you for Mr. Yang Ming! ”

"That's great!"

Wen Zhengming, who was also an attendant in Zhu Houzhao's chamberlain, walked in at this time and said with a smile:

"Back then, if it weren't for Brother Bohu, you were victimized by those hypocrites in the Shilin, how could you be the champion of Ta Lun Wenxu, you should write quickly, let Wen Mou see if you can beat him Lun Wenshu in addition to painting and composing poems!"

"Brother Zheng Ming will know after seeing it!"

After Tang Bohu said with a smile, he saw that the attendants of the other attendants' rooms walked in one after another, so he put away the newspapers and said:

"Let's discuss it first, Your Majesty said that he will not be bloody in the court, but it will become bloody in the literary world in the future, and the pen in our hands is a knife and gun, and what we want to fight for is the public opinion of the world!

This is a war without gunpowder, the significance of what is done is not inferior to the good governance of the imperial court, and even more meaningful, the government of the imperial court can only maintain a temporary prosperity, and we can make the Chinese culture immortal! ”

As soon as Tang Bohu said this, Wen Zhengming also nodded and agreed.

Zhu Houzhao also learned about the actions of Lun Wenxu and Yan Hong and others from Dongchang.

Ma Yongcheng, the governor of Dongchang, directly asked: "Your Majesty, do you want Dongchang to copy their "Confucianism and Righteousness", they are slandering the court!" ”

Zhu Houzhao glared at Ma Yongcheng: "The inspectors of the East Factory can only deal with the officials, not the people!" Besides, this is actually a good phenomenon, these gentry-born Confucian disciples finally bent down their arrogant bodies, and preached to the common people they ignored to solve their doubts, it can be seen that my Ming Dynasty has really changed! ”

"Minister, remember the emperor's teachings! However, although they are not trying to influence the emperor in the court, they are bewitching the people, and they are manipulating public opinion. ”

In Ma Yongcheng's view, the reason why eunuchs are being repeatedly disciplined is because these civil officials are influencing the emperor, so although Zhu Houzhao has no intention of pursuing it, he still tries to persuade the emperor Zhu Houzhao to investigate.

"Do you think they can make the people of the world understand with these poems? I let the magistrate carry out literacy classes, the popularization of words, even the social science of the enlightenment of the study has also changed to pinyin, in the language of the world, now, although the people are literate, but a few people can read this no standard sentence reading and through the fake continuous subtraction of words and abbreviation of the ancient text! These old Confucians are not very comprehensible, and they are obscure when they play with me, and now they also play like this when they write articles to the people, but I am afraid that the people will only buy meat! ”

Zhu Houzhao said and said: "What's more, this battle is the same as the battle in the sword and gun, the final decision of the battle is who has the money, I am rich all over the world, I can raise a battalion of literati to be my mouthpiece, and he can fight against me?" ”

"Emperor Shengming! There is no opponent in the world who can be the emperor......" Ma Yongcheng began to pat himself on the back, Zhu Houzhao just smiled slightly, no matter what, he was still very willing to see these different strata of the Ming Empire with different interests compromise, mutual concessions, and balance with each other in this way, instead of relying on war and slaughter to resolve each other's conflicts.

As Zhu Houzhao expected.

Lun Wenxu and Tang Bohu refuted each other in newspapers and periodicals through pen and text.

At first, the two only refuted ideological things such as Confucianism and psychology.

In the end, they even criticized their own literary styles.

Lun Wenxu reprimanded Tang Bohu for his vulgar sentences, unlearned and unskilled, and his language was too plain.

Tang Bohu, on the other hand, rebuked Lun Wen's narrative for being obscure and meaningless.

As a result, Tang Bohu finally began to openly believe that the Ming Dynasty should advocate vernacular writing and abandon ancient literary style, because this is more conducive to communication and enlightenment.

The Lunwen narrative is fighting for the retro, and naturally does not allow the Ming Dynasty to even change the style, and also believes that when the ancient style is respected, it will continue to enlighten social studies with Confucian classic textbooks, and abandon the standard sentence reading and pinyin that are emerging nowadays.

"Lun Wenxu's remarks, I Tang Bohu disagree very much! If you read it without standard sentences, even the words of a saint will be misunderstood! Let me give you an example, the sentence 'the people can make it know but cannot make it known' will be read as 'the people can make it from it, but not from it' and it will also be read as 'the people can make it, from it, can't make it known', which sentence is the true meaning of the sage? ”

From this, we can know that if there is no standard sentence reading in ancient texts, there is no pinyin, and it does not keep pace with the times, even the remarks of the sages and sages will often be misinterpreted, which is the real harm! Therefore, I Tang Bohu believes that standard sentence reading and pinyin are the two greatest innovations of this dynasty! ”

Tang Bohu's straightforward and simple arguments were supported by the low-level people who knew the text for the first time, and many peddlers and pawns also began to become Tang Bohu's fans.

Lun Wenxu was repeatedly defeated in the debate with Tang Bohu and had fewer and fewer supporters, and even some scholars began to be affected by Tang Bohu's discussions, and felt that the original reading of no standard sentences would make the words of the sages have such a big misunderstanding, so they began to read these Confucian classic standard sentences seriously one by one.

However, because people have different understandings, many people in science also quarrel with each other, and they all feel that what they read is correct and should be used as a standard.

"Tang Bohu, this is the vernacular literary movement that started my Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Houzhao was not interested in the quarrel between Confucianism and Confucianism, but he was very interested in the vernacular literary movement set off by Tang Bohu, because he remembered that in history, it was also because the academic community began to mention vernacular literature as a starting point that allowed China to truly start the journey of nirvana rebirth.

Confucianism has been imprisoned in China for too long, and the obscurity and occlusion of the style in the first place is not conducive to the popularization of education in the empire.

Tang Bohu's vernacular literary movement was supported by many people, and Kang Hai of the School Department, Wang Shouren of Jiangxi, and Wang Jiusi of the Ministry of Officials all began to express their support.

Of course, Lun Wenxu also had a large group of supporters, but as Zhu Houzhao expected, there was no emperor among Lun Wenxu's supporters, so after he repeatedly bought houses and land to make up for the funding gap in order to increase the printing and sales of his "Confucian Righteous Path", he eventually fell into a financial crisis again.

A journal that only wanted to express its own thoughts and did not want to conform to the will of the people and the emperor's will was eventually bankrupted by his literary narrative, and owed countless debts.

In less than a month, Lun Wenxu could only eat porridge and wine on credit.

In less than half a year, Lun Wenxu had to rely on his friends to get by.

But at this time, a scribe found him: "Mr. Lun, the compilation of our Chunlou Dream Society, we have been ordered by the president to hire you as the chief writer, one hundred taels of silver per month, what do you think?" ”

"One hundred taels a month, it's already higher than my previous Yulu, but I don't know what your club wants Lun to write?"

When Lun Wenxu, who had been wiped out by poverty, heard that someone hired him with such a high salary, he had long forgotten that he had been a proud champion.

"Writing about the love of children and daughters, and the things in the boudoir, can also reveal all kinds of life, such as my widow and sister-in-law, my friend's wife and concubine, and now the people like to read this, and they should write delicately, so delicate that they have to show their daily romance between the beds."

As he spoke, the scribe took out a notebook and handed it to Lun Wenxu: "Sir, take a look, this is the last issue of the journal!" There is a new chief writer who has just reached the first legend, and it is expensive to sell Luoyang paper. ”

Lun Wenxu couldn't help but look at it, he naturally had no resistance to words, and he looked into it after a while, and he couldn't sleep at night, and his body was weak and his kidneys were weak, but he was addicted to it after all, and he also accepted the invitation of the Chunlou Dream Club to be the main writer, and finally embarked on the road of Tang Bohu back then, and he seemed to forget that he had laughed at Tang Bohu with this.

Since ancient times, there are many talented people, Lun Wenxu is no exception, because he has been in the Qinglou wine shop for a long time, and the story of Fengyue written is also more expressive, the first legend earned three thousand taels, three months later in Nandu (Nanjing) to buy a property, five months later to buy a manor, a year later to accept a concubine, and then a year later to accept a concubine, the third year of the soul returned to another country, buried in the southern capital.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, and said: "Although Lun Wenxu is conservative, he is also a great Confucian in the academic world, but he didn't expect to go so fast!" ”
