Wang Shizhen talks about heroic words such as "a righteous man will die for justice" or "a scholar can be killed but not humiliated", but his body is very honest.
After some sincere persuasion from Wang Shimao, Wang Shizhen could only transfer. In fact, before Feng Bao broke Wang Shizhen's side, he had already checked his history thoroughly.
Wang Shizhen's rise to prominence in the literary world and the formation of his personal literary theory are certainly elements of genius, but they are more about "stepping on the shoulders of older predecessors." When he was young, he first joined the "Xingbu Poetry Society" established by Li Xianfang and others in the capital, from which he absorbed retro concepts and nutrition.
According to Feng Bao's investigation, it was Li Xianfang, Li Panlong and others who first formed the association and later introduced Wang Shizhen. This literary society, which held high the banner of retro and eventually influenced the entire Ming Dynasty, had six core members. The leadership battles started between Li Xianfang, Li Panlong and Wang Shizhen, with Wang Shizhen ultimately winning.
After Wang Shizhen joined the company, she first united with Li Panlong to exclude Li Xianfang. Li Xianfang is a veteran who left the team without enjoying the fruits of victory. He is also relatively open-minded and eventually returned to his hometown to write his hometown journal.
After squeezing out Li Xianfang, Wang Shizhen proposed that six core members, headed by Li Panlong, form a formal retro poetry club, and formulated club disciplines. Members were carefully selected and members were not allowed to join other poetry clubs. They must maintain their understanding of the original poetry club. The loyalty of the society and other clauses - already have the embryonic form of later caucuses.
After the poetry club was established, internally, it "responsible for each other's duties strictly, ensures that others play well, and insists on doing what they say." Externally, Wang Shizhen paid for it, and spent all day hanging out with prostitutes. He regarded himself as a madman and hyped it up.
Specific methods of publicity include: asking Li, a great painter at the time, to create a "Picture of Six Sons" and calling himself "Zi" to create a "madman" persona; then, the six people wrote poems and essays to praise each other, and published "Collection of Six Sons" Wait for a sharp boost in reputation.
When "The Collection of Six Sons" was published, Xie Zhen, the old poet in the club, quit his job. He became famous very early, and was already a top figure in the poetry world at that time. Without the need for publicity, he was unwilling to sing poems with them and praise each other. In the end, he was jointly excluded from the poetry society by Wang Shizhen and Li Panlong.
Therefore, the so-called "Six Collections" should actually be the "Five Collections". The literary world of the Ming Dynasty was given a thumbs up by Wang Shizhen, so when it comes to "Liu Zi Ji", it is basically avoided.
After Xie Zhen left the club, Wang Shizhen introduced Wu Guolun, still the sixth son. But what makes people speechless is that when publicizing to the outside world, these six people still brought Xie Zhen, who had been separated from the society, and dubbed him the "Later Seventh Son". This trick was used in the entertainment industry in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty at that time, this trick was still Very fresh.
Although the retro slogan they put forward shocked the literary world, in the eyes of people like Feng Bao, there was no essential difference from the literary ideas of the first seven Jiajing disciples, headed by Li Mengyang and He Jingming.
How do the latter seven sons evaluate the first seven sons? "The traces of simulation are too revealing"! Wang Shizhen criticized the articles and poems of the first seven sons for being too imitative of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. However, the poems and essays written by them were even more imitative than those of the first seven sons.
The final struggle started between Li Panlong and Wang Shizhen. Li Panlong came from a poor background and could not defeat Wang Shizhen, a second-generation official. First of all, Wang Shizhen is very good at being a good person. He pays for every gathering.
Secondly, Wang Shizhen is a free and easy person, tolerant of brothers with different tempers, and very loyal, which can be seen from his attitude towards Yang Jisheng.
In the end, the leadership transitioned peacefully, and Wang Shizhen finally took the leadership of the Ancient Poetry Society. With this as the core, he put his personal stamp on the literature and poetry, art appreciation, history and other literary directions of the country, and was eventually recognized as the world's literary world leader. Leader.
Therefore, Feng Bao, who learned this information, seemed to be taking a risk, but in fact, he had already calculated Wang Shizhen to his bones.
Feng Bao spent so much effort because he actually took a fancy to Wang Shizhen's influence in Shilin. By capturing Wang Shizhen, he had a major impact on the Ming Dynasty's literary world.
As for Wang Shizhen, her son and nephews were all held in the palm of the court. She was not a strong person herself, and Feng Bao had already seen through her character. Therefore, in the end, I honestly sent the article to the daily newspaper.
These two articles were painstakingly crafted. If they directly advocated "anti-annexation", although they were politically correct, the consequences in the literary world would be extremely unpredictable; if they directly praised the emperor and eulogized the saints, they would be afraid of being considered by "Feng Bangning" as a "high-level gangster".
The two brothers studied it for a long time, and finally took out "Feng Bangning's" letter and read it carefully, and found that there was really no prompt or requirement for the content. Wang Shizhen finally had a sudden realization, and found two articles on literary theory that he had not yet circulated and sent them over.
When Feng Bao saw that he was on the road, he was not concerned about himself. Four articles by the Wang brothers were published in daily newspapers at intervals, which was just right given the current situation. Those who understand will naturally understand what's going on, and those who don't understand - Feng Bao doesn't care whether he understands or not.
Moreover, this kind of thing is difficult at the beginning. Based on Feng Bao's knowledge, once these people lose their moral integrity, their bottom line will probably fall faster than a prostitute taking off her skirt.
When I have free time in the future, I will slowly become the leader of the altar. This sense of accomplishment will be much more satisfying than when I was doing palm seals in the Ceremony Supervisor. It has to be said that if Feng Baoneng feels this way, his psychology may have gradually become distorted and darkened.
The Jiangnan literary world was stirred up by newspapers and the "Songjiang Slave Incident". At this time, the capital's good friend, Wang Zongmu, Wang Shizhen's good friend, also made the court a mess.
It turned out that in August, the imperial water transport governor Wang Zongmu once again mentioned the use of sea transport for water transport.
This guy once continuously petitioned Emperor Longqing in October of the fifth year of Longqing to revive the sea and water transportation that had been suspended for 160 years, claiming that it would "bring endless benefits to the country for tens of millions of years."
At that time, Emperor Longqing agreed, and Gao Gong also admired him very much and supported him in completing the matter.
Wang Zongmu lived up to expectations and made preparations. In March of the sixth year of Longqing, he used sea transportation to transport 120,000 shi of grain from the south to Tianjin.
These 120,000 shi of grain were then transferred from the dredged Dagu River (Haihe River) to the North Canal, and finally arrived in Beijing, which made Gao Gong extremely happy.
At that time, due to his contribution to the restoration of sea transportation, he was promoted to the first level of salary of the governor and censors Liang Menglong and Wang Zongmu respectively; Pan Yunrui, who participated in political affairs, was promoted to one level; Li Shi, who was the inspector of Zhili at that time, also praised Gao Gong and praised all the ministers for his work. Lao, the assistant minister praised the power of decision.
However, Zhang Huan in Nanjing impeached Wang Zongmu during the incident: "I heard that eight boats were lost, and 3,200 shi of rice were lost. Wang Zongmu expected this, so he privately ordered people to buy rice to make up for the loss. The rice can make up for the loss, but human lives can be saved." Make up for it?"
Wang Zongmu called Qu at that time and asked the court to send someone to verify. But at that time, Mu Zong was seriously ill and later passed away, so the matter was dropped.
After Mu Zong's funeral was completed, Gao Gong supported Wang Zongmu to continue. However, in the spring of the first year of Wanli, when the second sea voyage reached Jimo, it encountered a hurricane and seven ships sank.
At this time, Jia Sanjin, Yushi Bao Xiyan, and the governor of Shandong all came to the scene, saying that since shipping was not possible, the matter was over.
After Zhu Yijun traveled across the country, he was not clear about the situation of shipping across the country. When I heard about this later, I even read the memorial that Wang Zongmu reported to Mu Zong at that time. However, all of them were very literary and fantasy descriptions, and Zhu Yijun didn't understand them at all.
