Tan Yuanchun really had the demeanor of everyone, his expression was calm, and after waving his hands to the audience, he said generously: "Fellow Wenlin, Tan Mou is ugly today!" The words of the family also hope to reverse the current literary atmosphere, return the true character of the literary world, and listen to the world in the right way! ”

"Boom", as soon as his words fell, the whole audience exploded, and there were many discussions, mixed reviews. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is too arrogant, and it has the feeling that he has dominated the literary world with the Jingling faction, as if there is nothing else in the world except the Jingling doctrine.

Even Sun Yueling was deeply shocked by his domineering remarks. You must know that in the so-called literary world at that time, although the Jingling faction inherited the concept of the public security faction, improved and carried it forward, and occupied a pivotal position in the literary world for a time, not all readers supported the Jingling faction, and many people were still inclined to the retro classics and righteousness, and did not agree with the views of the Jingling faction.

I only heard Tan Yuanchun talk eloquently: "Today's Shiwen, learn more from the former and later seven sons, vainly climb the scriptures, imitate the ancients, and be confined to the law of work, saying that 'the text must be Qin and Han, and the poem must be prosperous in the Tang Dynasty', but I don't know that this is the biggest drawback that hinders the development of Shiwen." In the following opinion, when the text changes with the world, it changes with the world, and when the world changes, the text also changes; The so-called unique lyrical spirit, not eclectic, only articles that keep up with the changes of the world and come from the heart are good articles, so that they can endure for a long time and be renewed, and will not be eliminated by the world......"

Sun Yueling was refreshed when he heard it, and he couldn't imagine that the concept of the Jingling School coincided with the so-called "Wen from the heart" view of later generations, which was a very good argument.

Tan Yuanchun saw that there was a lot of discussion in the audience, paused for a moment, and waited until everyone calmed down before continuing, saying, "I foolishly think that Shiwen does not have to copy the old, but should establish the old and break the new, and learn from the strengths of others. And for those retro texts, Tan is not deliberately despised, but the retro texts are mostly dyed with ancient fur, and they do not have a deep meaning, so how is it different from plagiarism? I thought that as long as we 'introduce the spirit of the ancients to the minds of future generations, so that their minds will be stopped, and that's it!' Therefore, the current literature, poetry, and music should not only be smart and elegant, but also should be rich and rich, the so-called "thick from the spirit, must protect this spiritual heart, in order to read and nourish the qi to seek its thickness", to achieve the kind of "deep and lonely", "to the elegant" supreme realm, is the real and good literature. ”

Hearing this, Sun Yueling was also secretly shocked, the original intention of convening this conference was only to let each school expound its own concepts, promote its own doctrine, and deliberately formulated rules not to accuse and slander other schools, although Tan Yuanchun did not say anything explicitly in his words, but the implication was nothing more than that their Jingling school was the real literary authenticity, and those retro Jingyi schools were some hypocritical and inferior doctrines, not good articles in the real sense.

To tell the truth, the style of writing keeps pace with the times and seeks innovation and change is of course the only way for the development of literature, but it is also a bit lonely and paranoid to despise retro learning, only seeking what you like and dislike in your heart, and not looking at the whole problem objectively.

Sure enough, Tan Yuanchun's words aroused the dissatisfaction of many elites of other schools in the audience, and they reprimanded them one after another, and even began to shout and insult at the high platform, telling him to get off the stage as soon as possible.

Sun Yueling saw that the scene was a little riotous, and hurriedly ordered Han Xiaoshui and others to maintain order in the square, so as not to let someone rush to the stage to reason with Tan Yuanchun in excitement, and the situation would be difficult to control.

Just when the situation in the field was controlled by the prefect Yamen and his subordinates, and gradually calmed down, suddenly a person in the front of the elegant seat jumped high, and one fell on the high platform, and shouted at Tan Yuanchun: "Don't be ashamed, full of feces, you regard my Yunjian students as nothing?" ”

This person's behavior immediately provoked bursts of cheers from the audience, and countless literati and scholars cheered for him, asking him to humiliate that Tan Yuanchun to relieve their anger.

Seeing that the people in the audience were so supportive, he was even more proud, and shouted loudly to the audience: "Since it is a literary conference, we should let all factions speak freely and refute each other, the so-called concept is more and more new, and the reason is more and more clear. ”

Countless people in the audience echoed and applauded, saying that what this person said was reasonable, since it was a conference of the people's speech, it should be up to all factions to speak their minds freely and argue on the basis of reason, how could there be a reason to let only a single person speak on the stage?

When Sun Yueling saw it, he was immediately annoyed, and the person who entered the stage was none other than Zhong Yansong, the young master of the Jinling Society. By doing so, this person was clearly inciting emotions and trying to disrupt the entire assembly.

Without waiting for his instructions, Han Qianshui had already stepped onto the podium and said to Zhong Yansong: "Young Master Zhong, this conference is organized by our Fenghua Society, and it has its own rules and regulations, please go down immediately, don't disturb the normal holding of the conference." ”

Zhong Yansong laughed and said, "The rules you set are out of place and pedantic, I think the conference has changed this rule and let everyone speak freely!" As soon as his words fell, there was another burst of chanting from the audience, obviously supporting his words.

Han Wanshui had a calm face, looked at him for a moment and said, "Young Master Zhong, you agreed to the rules of the conference before, and promised to follow the rules, but now you are going back on your word, do you want to wantonly sabotage?" ”

Zhong Yansong smiled and said: "Yes, I promised you, but now it's not that I want to change your so-called bad rules, but that all the scholars present want to change this rule, which is the common aspiration of the big guys." You and I are both people in the same way, so naturally we can't ignore this Zheng Zheng public opinion and go on without knowing how to do it. Therefore, on behalf of all the literati and scholars present today, we, the 'Cloud Sect', strongly urge the conference to change the rules so that everyone can debate freely and speak their minds freely! ”

His words may have appealed to the minds of most of the people in the audience, so many people immediately chimed in, demanding that the conference change the rules so that the various factions could debate with each other and speak their minds freely. Such shouts came wave after wave, and soon the entire audience was boiling, becoming emotional, and there was an unstoppable momentum.

When Sun Yueling saw that the situation had developed to this point, his heart became more and more angry. The Jinling Society is really here to find fault, in their eyes, they just can't tolerate the Fenghua Society, and they don't miss any opportunity that may embarrass the Fenghua Society, if this conference is mixed into a mess, all the efforts made by the Fenghua Society will be gone with the wind, not to mention that this conference is expected to improve the influence of Fenghua Academy in Jiangnan Shilin, I am afraid that it will become a laughing stock of Shilin from now on.

Zhong Yansong on the stage was still shouting loudly, mobilizing the "masses" in the audience, demanding that the rules of the meeting be changed and that all factions should come to the stage to debate one by one. Sun Yueling was a little anxious, how could the conference be held in this way, and he was about to take the stage to reason with him, but unexpectedly, Cao Changhe, the political envoy, came to the side of the high platform at some point and said to him: "Brother Sun." ”

When Sun Yueling saw that it was him, he hurriedly saluted: "Gong Cao." "I wondered why he came, and whether he had something to discuss with him.

"Brother, but you want to come to the stage to stop this Zhong Yansong?" Cao Changhe said lightly.

"Yes, that's what the foolish brother means." Sun Yueling was puzzled, looking at his attitude, he didn't seem to approve of his coming to power, as if he had something to say.

Cao Changhe smiled slightly and said, "Why did the elder brother stop him, is it because he instigated everyone to change the rules of the conference?" ”

Sun Yueling didn't know what he meant, and said, "Of course, can you watch him do whatever he wants and disrupt the entire conference?" ”

Cao Changhe said leisurely: "Now everyone in the audience is asking for a change in the rules, so why don't my brother obey the will of the people and let them completely open their hearts and argue freely?" Why not? ”

Sun Yueling was puzzled and exclaimed, "Gong Cao, how can this be? If they are allowed to argue with each other and speak recklessly, then the various factions will inevitably quarrel and oppose each other, and they are more likely to speak foul language and fight! Many schools of literature in the late Ming Dynasty often insulted each other when they disagreed with each other when they met to give lectures, and sometimes they would fight and use their fists to declare the "sovereignty" of their genre. The reason why he set so many complicated rules was that he was afraid that these things would be staged at the conference, and if that was the case, the whole assembly would become a place of fighting, and all his original intentions and efforts would be in vain.

Cao Changhe took a moment and said: "Brother is worried, I know what you are worried about, but you can rest assured, today's conference will be guaranteed by the government, and there are people from the yamen to maintain order, which is not comparable to ordinary private gatherings, so you can rest assured that they can speak freely, and there is no need to worry about unpleasant things happening." ”

After a pause, he continued, "Literary school gathering speeches have always been a pleasure for scholars, how can there ever be such a large-scale gathering? Since they can get together, then we should let go of the constraints and let them speak freely, the so-called indistinguishable and unclear things, perhaps after the resonance of various families, frankly admitting and contending, it will promote the understanding and consensus of all parties, which is not impossible. ”

"But ......" Sun Yueling was still a little worried in his heart, afraid that the situation would get out of control and evolve to the point where it would be difficult to recover.

Cao Changhe interrupted him and said: "Brother, don't worry, with Kou Futai and I here, I expect that even if someone wants to take the opportunity to incite the literary faction to fight with each other, it is beyond his power to catch him, and if he dares to make trouble, the old man will be the first to arrest and punish him." ”

Hearing Cao Changhe's assurance, Sun Yueling felt a little relieved and said, "Since this is the case, then what does Cao Gong mean is that the rules can be changed and the various factions can speak freely without guidance?" "In the current world of literature, although the various schools can speak freely, but some taboos can not be commented on indiscriminately, the government has formulated many rules and regulations to restrain these literati, and even more also stipulates some sensitive words, if the writing and discussion once these words are touched, immediately ban without forgiveness, even if you write a masterpiece, it must be sealed in the dust and difficult to see the light of day.

Cao Changhe looked solemn and said, "Brother, this is your mistake." With all due respect, many of these literati's novels, criticisms, prose and poems are written from the heart and in conspiring against the evils of the times. Those who oppose the government and are dissatisfied with our Ming Dynasty are just a small number of people, and they definitely cannot represent the vast majority, and most of the scholars and scholars are loyal to my Ming Dynasty, to my Huaxia, and to the emperor, and we should understand them. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and looked at the crowd who were still talking about it, and said, "What our government needs to do is to formulate rules and policies, guide them to the right path, listen to their voices as much as possible, understand their wishes, open their hearts to them, tolerate and accept them, and seek common ground while reserving differences." Instead of pretending to be arrogant, slandering and squeezing out, wantonly slandering, and still less can we set so many rules and regulations to restrain them, the so-called practice of carrying the Tao with literature and destroying words in this way is no different from raising a 'literary prison', which will inevitably stifle the originality and enthusiasm of readers, and make the world's articles become all praises of virtue, monotonous and boring, and have nothing to read. ”

I can't imagine that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were so open-minded, and they took the lead in advocating freedom of speech, and they didn't know how many times more open-minded than later generations, and couldn't help but look at him for a long time, and said: "Cao Gong has this remark, he is really open-minded, and he is a model of an official who shares the common weal and the people, and he admires it so much!" ”

Cao Changhe laughed and said: "Foolish brother deserves such a big gift, my brother has tormented Cao!" ”

Since there are Cao Changhe and other party officials to guarantee and advise, the stone in Sun Yueling's heart fell to the ground, calmly walked up to the high platform, waved his hand to the audience, signaled everyone to be quiet, and after glancing at Zhong Yansong, he said to everyone: "Since everyone present agrees with changing the rules, well, I agree with everyone's opinions, change the rules of this conference, and send representatives from each academy to the stage to debate." However, there is a premise, no one can take the opportunity to insult the other party, let alone act recklessly and provoke a fight between the literary faction, otherwise, Lord Cao and Kou Futai who were present will not spare him and will be arrested and criminalized! ”

When these words fell, the audience continued to shout, and the applause continued, and everyone was overjoyed and excited, shouting that they would definitely abide by the rules of the conference and would not participate in the battle of the literary faction.
