After selling the paintings in Pingshan Hall and developing some wealthy new customers, Zhang Fengyi went down the mountain and returned to the city satisfied.

On the way, the more Mr. Zhang thought about it, the more he admired Lin Tailai, the idea of this twenty taels entrance fee was really amazing.

Directly and accurately locate the crowd, helping them to easily screen and concentrate a large number of target customers.

Now that the business in Yangzhou has opened up, we can start to consider buying a house in Yangzhou City, and we will often come and go in the future.

When Zhang Fengyi returned to his temporary residence, he saw that Wang Zhideng, the leader of the Suzhou literary circle, had sent a disciple to spread the word and invite him to a party tonight.

This made Zhang Fengyi very surprised, since the Mid-Autumn Festival night split in the Suzhou literary circle, the two have parted ways and ignored each other, why did Wang Zhideng take the initiative to invite today?

After thinking about it, Zhang Fengyi was still invited. After all, they are all mixed in the Suzhou literary circle, and they don't see each other when they look down, although they don't agree with Lin Tailai recently, they don't have a deep hatred.

When I arrived at the place, I found that it was not only Wang Zhideng who was present, but also Wang Daoguan, the younger brother of Wang Daokun, the overlord of the Huizhou literary world and one of the four old giants in the world.

Wang Daokun is old and his identity is also sensitive, so it is often Wang Daoguan who comes out to communicate and contact with his brother instead of his brother.

"What the hell are you doing, old Dengzi?" After Zhang Fengyi sat down, he asked casually.

Wang Zhideng: "??? ”

What is Lao Dengzi? Does it have anything to do with Lao Laizi?

"Ah, it's an honorific title for you, an honorific title." Zhang Fengyi found that he had lost his words and hurriedly explained.

In the past two days, when he talked about Wang Zhideng with Lin Daguan, he always heard that Lin Daguan was a "Lao Dengzi", and he was also infected unconsciously.

"Wang Baigu! What exactly are you going to say when you invite the two of us here? Wang Daoguan also asked.

Wang Zhideng said to Wang Daoguan: "Back then, my brothers wrote poems to insult me, but today I can put aside this history and don't care about you." ”

At the beginning, Wang Zhideng had a poem: "The azaleas outside the window are birds, and Weng Zhongshi is a person in front of the tomb." ”

When Wang Daokun and Wang Daoguan brothers came to Suzhou, when they gave Wang Zhideng a poem, they spoofed this sentence and changed it to: "The bayberry sores on the body are fruits, and the radishes in the eyes are flowers." ”

Because Wang Zhideng was suffering from syphilis at the time, he had bayberry sores on his body, and Wang Zhideng's eyes were not good, and there were shadows in his vision.

Wang Zhideng's mood can be imagined, and the relationship with the Wang brothers in Huizhou has deteriorated sharply.

Hearing that Wang Zhideng was willing to forgive this black history, Wang Daoguan was also very surprised.

Wang Zhideng turned to Zhang Fengyi and said: "Back then, I had a handwriting of Tang Taizong, I thought it was genuine, but you must say that it was a fake, and I forgive you for this past!" ”

Zhang Fengyi explained: "It was Wang Fengzhou who identified it as a fake, and I just echoed it a few times. ”

Wang Zhideng said: "That doesn't matter anymore, all in all, I forgive you today!" I don't care about the Mid-Autumn Festival last year! ”

Zhang Fengyi and Wang Daoguan looked at each other, Lao Dengzi is very unusual today. Sending forgiveness hats everywhere must have something else in mind.

Wang Zhideng, who had finished handing out the forgiveness hat, raised his glass and said: "The reason why we can sit here today and reconcile is because we have a common goal at present, so we should put aside our previous suspicions and work together!" ”

Wang Daoguan also picked up his wine glass, but didn't drink it, and asked a little confused: "What is the common goal, why don't I know?" ”

"Mingren doesn't say dark words, don't pretend!" Wang Zhideng responded: "You two brothers suddenly came to Yangzhou City, do you really think that others can't see your thoughts? King Chuzhuang asked the weight of Jiuding, yes or no? ”

Wang Daoguan hurriedly denied: "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Wang Zhideng decided to make everything clear today, "Your Wang brothers have resolutely supported the retro faction for many years, but they are unwilling to join the retro faction.

and then started a new mountain in Huizhou, known as the Xin'an faction in the literary world, but in fact, it is just operating its own power under the banner of retro school, yes or no? ”

Wang Daokun, who was exposed to his old secret, habitually fought back directly: "How good can you Wang Baigu be?" You pay lip service to the retro school, but what point of your poetry does it look like the retro school?

I'm afraid that you can't forget your master Wen Hengshan in your heart, and try to restore the glory of the Wuzhong faction, right? ”

Wang Zhideng shouted a little excitedly: "The Wuzhong faction is the Wuzhong faction of Suzhou, and Suzhou is the Suzhou of the Wuzhong faction!"

When the first seven sons of the retro faction were strong, our Wuzhong faction also had the four great talents of Jiangnan to compete with, and they were never weaker than others!

How can it be like now, the world only knows the Later Seven Sons and the Retro School, and no one thinks of the Wuzhong School anymore! ”

Wang Daokun couldn't disagree with the background of the Wuzhong faction, and muttered: "Who can blame then?" When the seventh son was born, it was the time when you, Wang Baigu, succeeded Wen Hengshan and presided over the Suzhou literary scene.

You, Wang Baigu, have no combat power in the face of the seventh son, especially Wang Fengzhou, and let the Suzhou literary world fall into the retro school, who is to blame? ”

Wang Zhideng said bitterly: "If I even climb the Yellow Armor, what else can I do with Wang Fengzhou?" The Wang family has been a succession of eunuchs, what can I do to resist? ”

Wang Zhideng, as Wen Zhengming's close disciple, successfully inherited Wen Zhengming's imperial examination genes.

That's why he is called the world's first cloth poet, but even if he is crowned the first in the world, he is still a cloth cloth.

"And this one is used to eating inside and out!" Wang Zhideng thought of his literary career, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and pointed at Zhang Fengyi and said: "It was he who led the wolf into the house and brought Wang Shizhen, who returned from the north, into the Suzhou literary circle!" ”

Zhang Fengyi slapped the case angrily and said: "Didn't you just say that you want to reconcile and forgive everything in the past!" ”

Wang Shizhen did not mix in the Suzhou literary scene when she was young, and directly followed her father, who was an official, to leave Taicang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, and did not return to Taicang until after his father's death.

At that time, Wang Shizhen, who came back from the north, was extremely unfamiliar with the Suzhou literary circle, and thanks to Zhang Fengyi's repeated help in introduction, Wang Shizhen entered the Suzhou literary circle.

This is the reason why Wang Zhideng accused Zhang Fengyi of "luring wolves into the house".

Wang Daoguan saw that the topic was getting farther and farther, and hurriedly asked, "Wang Baigu, what are you going to do today?" Is it just to expose other people's old secrets? ”

Wang Zhideng calmed down for a while, sighed and said, "That Wang League Master can no longer carry the burden of the literary world!" ”

Wang Daoguan said tentatively: "Could it be that you, Wang Baigu, want to replace him?" ”

Wang Zhideng replied: "I have no intention of replacing anyone, I just want the Wuzhong faction to flourish in Suzhou again!"

I don't care what your Xin'an faction has in mind, but when it comes to targeting the retro faction's hegemony, our goal is the same. ”

After thinking deeply, Wang Daoguan nodded slowly, his nod was not only on behalf of himself, but also on behalf of his brother Wang Daokun.

Although Wang Zhideng is not a literary giant for various reasons, his status as a leader of the local literary scene in Suzhou is real, coupled with the reputation of the world's first cloth poet, so he can be regarded as a quasi-giant.

Therefore, Wang Zhideng's alliance value is very high, and he can be regarded as the strongest candidate under several giants.

What's more, Suzhou Mansion is Wang Shizhen's backyard, if Wang Zhideng is disgusted, it is equivalent to a fire in Wang Shizhen's backyard.

Presumably the elder brother Wang Daokun is happy to see it, but if he has a little hope and strength, who doesn't want to be the first person in the literary world?

Seeing that Wang Daoguan finally nodded, Wang Zhideng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this can be regarded as the strongest ally he can find.

Then Wang Zhideng said impassionedly: "If things change today, the retro school is in decline, and it is time to make trouble!"

When we face the alliance leader Wang Fengzhou, we can no longer be submissive, we only know to echo his clichés!

We must make our voices heard, we must insist on our own opinions, and overwhelm Wang Fengzhou's retro doctrine head-on!

I'm sure we'll make it! After all, the retro faction has been dominating for so many years, and its doctrine has long been thoroughly studied, and there is no obstacle for us to attack!

Besides, there are a lot of people in the world who are suffering from the retro school, as long as we climb the heights, there will inevitably be many responders!

All in all, the king lost his deer, and it was in Yangzhou! ”

Wang Zhideng didn't say a single thing, the leader of the old alliance Wang was already anxious to deal with Lin Tailai, how much energy did he have to deal with them again?

Taking advantage of the fact that the old alliance leader was in a bitter battle with Lin Tailai head-on, they launched a sneak attack, and the probability of success was too great.

"Well said!" Wang Daoguan's emotions were also mobilized, the two brothers have been accumulating strength for so many years, and now they finally see hope.

Then Wang Daoguan agreed with Wang Zhideng: "The next time we discuss the Tao with Wang Fengzhou, it will be the day we rise up!" ”

The two of them drank three bowls of wine together, which can be regarded as a substitute for the blood alliance, and at this time, their hearts were agitated, as if they had returned to the high-spirited youth.

After getting Wang Daoguan, Wang Zhideng caught a glimpse of Zhang Fengyi, who was not moving, "You can't lag behind my generation, when you get in front of Wang Fengzhou, you have to wave the flag and shout for us!" ”

Now Wang Zhideng's mind is to unite all the forces that can be united, and Zhang Fengyi is a representative of the forces in the calligraphy and painting circle and the opera industry.

Although the two disciplines of calligraphy, painting and opera are not the middle of the literary world, they are also components that cannot be ignored.

"That, how are you going to meet Wang Fengzhou?" Zhang Fengyi, who had watched the play for a long time next to him, asked.

Wang Zhideng: "."

It seems that the biggest problem now is that I can't see the leader of the Wang Alliance at all.

"If you really can't do it, let's pay twenty taels of silver." Wang Daoguan said.

For celebrities like them, it is a shame to pay this silver, but if it is for a greater goal, it is not impossible to endure it.

Zhang Fengyi shook his head, "Lin Tailai doesn't plan to open for admission for a fee in the short term, saying that it is necessary to develop protectively, and it is not possible to fish for all the water." ”

Wang Zhideng said to Zhang Fengyi again: "Zhang Lingxu! You've been following Lin Tailai recently, and you should also understand Lin Tailai's determination to repeat the ancient school, so you should help us! ”

Zhang Fengyi sighed: "Lin Tailai has a lot of ideas, he won't listen to me." ”

Wang Zhideng proposed: "You can gather all the literary celebrities in Yangzhou to come out together to put pressure on Lin Tailai!"

You Zhang Fengyi can help introduce you and help say a few words, Lin Tailai will always sell you a little face. ”

Anyway, most people don't know their own thoughts, and under the banner of "meeting the old alliance leader", they are definitely willing to stand with themselves.

Zhang Fengyi couldn't shirk it, so he could only promise: "Try it tomorrow, to be honest, Lin Tailai's mind is weird and unpredictable, and I don't know what he thinks now." ”

Then he asked, "Do you need to tell Lin Tailai what he said tonight?" ”

Wang Zhideng replied: "It's too much to say, but it doesn't matter if Lin Tailai knows,"

If he was afraid that Lin Tailai would know, Wang Zhideng would not have invited Zhang Fengyi over, which implied that Zhang Fengyi would ventilate to Lin Tailai.

After all, Lin Tailai is the most fierce literary figure in the past two years - let's be regarded as a literary figure.

So after knowing his Wang Zhideng's repeated ancient school ideas, Lin Tailai should arrange for them to meet Wang Shizhen.

Again, only by uniting all the forces that can be united can we shake the hegemony of the retro school for thirty years.

After everything was agreed, the next day Wang Zhideng called Wu Guolun, Wang Daokun, Wang Daoguan, and several other literary celebrities to go to the Lin Mansion together.

The reason why he didn't call Zhang Jiayin was because he wanted to leave room for him, in case the talks with Lin Tailai collapsed, he could ask Zhang Jiayin to come forward to ease up.

When Lin Daguan heard that this lineup was coming, he was shocked.

According to his understanding, this lineup should go to brush the old league leader, why did he come over to brush himself?

Wang Zhideng said to Lin Tai: "Our friends have not seen Wang Fengzhou for many days, and we are very worried about it, and we are ready to go to Pingshan Hall to visit Wang Fengzhou. ”

Lin Daguan said in embarrassment: "Now there is a mutiny, Yizhou Justice has been hijacked by the rebels, and the princes rushed forward, but they are afraid of safety." ”

Wang Zhideng said: "I heard that Lin Qianhu has always been friendly with the Yangzhou Guards, so he must be able to ensure safety. ”

Lin Daguan persuaded: "If there is really no reason to meet, there is no need to meet in this situation." ”

Wang Zhideng said: "What the road does, you have to go." We agreed with Wang Fengzhou to sit down and discuss the Taoism of the literary world.

This is a major event related to the world's literary world, and we are also gathered in Yangzhou for this reason, how can we waste time all the time? ”

Lin Tailai sighed: "All the princes are righteous, the kid admires it, and he is willing to attend the hearing, in order to make progress!" ”

If you want to talk to the leader of the Wang Lao League, you can also bring him Lin Tai to play together.

The future development direction of the literary world, how can it be without the guidance of Lin Tailai.

Wang Zhideng turned his head to Wang Daokun and Wu Guolun and asked, "What do you two think?" ”

Wang Daokun said the word "may", Wu Guolun hesitated for a long time, and agreed.

Now that Wang Shizhen is pinched in the hands of the other party, Wu Guolun has to bow his head, and he can't let Wang Shizhen live or die.

Seeing that everyone else agreed, Lin Daguan said, "Tomorrow I will go to Pingshan Hall with all the princes!" ”

I don't know if you literary bigwigs dare to insist on your own views under the watchful eyes of hundreds of officials and soldiers.

From the dialogue, Wang Zhideng could feel that Lin Tailai and himself had formed a tacit understanding.

Now it can be said that the leader of the Wang Lao Alliance, who is caught in the chaos, is the weakest and the easiest to defeat.

The time and place are right, and there are not many opportunities like this, and I don't know if I can have them again in this life.

Let's make a transition
