Among them, some people are devoted to Confucianism. They feel that the new learning is now at its peak, and they really want to see Qian Qianyi, as a scholar leader, able to bring a turn for the better for Confucianism.
There are also people who, after getting to know each other recently, have developed a strong interest in new learning. However, they had naturally heard of Qian Qianyi's reputation, so they were a little worried and hurried over to take a look.
Most people still mean neutrality. After all, no matter how popular New Learning is now, it cannot offset the thousands of years of accumulation of Confucianism. It is natural to hesitate.
Just like that, before Qian Qianyi reached the street where Xingguo's mansion was located, he was already followed by a crowd of scholars.
When the officials on duty saw this, they became worried and quickly reported it.
However, the Jin Yiwei had been dispatched urgently and rushed to Duke Xingguo's Mansion, ready to suppress any possible commotion among these scholars and report to Duke Xingguo immediately.
At this time, Zhang Mingwei had just received the order, saying that the grassland cavalry would arrive outside the capital city immediately, and asked him to settle the grassland cavalry, station them outside the city, and bring relevant generals to the capital for an audience.
I was about to go out when I heard the news.
Chen Yuanyuan, who was about to send Zhang Mingwei off, suddenly became a little worried when he heard it. She quickly said to Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, that Qian Qianyi is famous for his literary accomplishments and is a scholar leader in Jiangnan. Otherwise, let the Jin Yiwei take care of them first. Dispersed, lest... lest..."
When Zhang Mingwei heard that Qian Qianyi was coming, he immediately smiled, shook his head and said, "No!"
Chen Yuanyuan became anxious upon hearing this and said quickly: "Master..."
Seeing this, Princess Kunxing, who was about to set off with Zhang Mingwei, smiled and said, "How about you come along to watch a good show?"
"Ah?" Chen Yuanyuan suddenly felt baffled after hearing this. She was a little confused.
Of course Zhu Ailao knows? That Qian Qianyi is a weakling. The famous water is too cold. His scalp is itchy? How dare he lead this leader and come to Xingguo Duke's Mansion to cause trouble after being threatened by his husband? Then it really means that the sun is coming out from the west. .
Even if we take a step back, Zhu Yuluo has seen a lot of Zhang Mingwei's methods. Whenever there is a competition in knowledge, the teacher will often squeeze the other person, letting the other person fall into the trap unknowingly, and forcing the other person to compare their new knowledge with him. So even if Qian Qianyi is a tough guy, can he still be better than his husband in new learning?
So, no matter from which aspect, Zhu Yuyao trusts Zhang Mingwei more than Chen Yuanyuan.
Zhang Mingwei had already packed up and didn't care what happened to Qian Qianyi, so he asked someone to open the door and go out to do things.
Chen Yuanyuan was a little worried about Zhang Mingwei, not that he was worried that Zhang Mingwei would be harmed, but that he was hit in literature. She thought that she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and maybe she could help the master, so she listened to Princess Kunxing and followed her out. .
Just when I left the house, I met an army of scholars coming over.
But at this time, a large number of Jin Yiwei had already rushed over from the Yamen, eyeing this group of scholars.
………………
Let's talk about Qian Qianyi. When he saw more and more scholars gathering behind him, he actually felt very uncomfortable. He had a feeling of mixed emotions.
The fact that so many scholars came behind him and surrounded him along the way shows that his reputation and prestige are indeed very high, and he is a well-deserved scholar!
And more and more scholars are following him. What he wants to do later will be more effective after Duke Xingguo sees it. Maybe he will be able to gain Duke Xingguo's understanding.
However, he also knew that if he did that thing, the scholars behind him would be dumbfounded, and there would definitely be many people scolding him for this.
But looking back and thinking about it, it is actually not difficult to make a choice between being scolded or being approached by Jin Yiwei.
While thinking about these things, he was sitting in the sedan and thinking about it. Suddenly, he felt the sedan stop, and then heard the shouts of the Jin Yiwei errands coming from outside. His heart was shocked and the corners of his mouth twitched. Got pumped.
If I had known this, I should not have gone to the Yangzhou branch of "Ming Pao" under any circumstances.
The noisy voices of the scholars behind them suddenly fell silent, obviously because of the appearance of Jin Yiwei.
But soon, the scholars took advantage of the large number of people and began to make noises from quiet to loud.
"We haven't broken any laws, so what qualifications do you Jin Yiwei have to control us?"
"Yes, let's go the other way, have we violated the king's law? You royal guards must also be reasonable!"
"There is a problem with studying and discussing Taoism? Why do you Jin Yiwei have to take care of it?"
"Yes, if the Jin Yiwei dares to act recklessly, let's go beat the drum and complain to the emperor! There is always a place for reasoning at the emperor's feet, right?"
"..."
Listening to these words, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Suddenly, he heard unusual movement outside.
"Duke Xingguo is here!"
"Duke Xingguo is coming over here!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Qianyi was so frightened that he no longer dared to sit in the sedan chair. He quickly kicked his feet and signaled to the sedan bearer that he was going out.
Of course, the other people in the sedan were no exception.
Soon, a group of old men in sedans came out one after another. Liu Rushi also came out and hurried to Qian Qianyi's side to support him. Through physical contact, it was faintly discovered that both parties were a little nervous.
After all, there were so many scholars gathered behind them, which was a bit unexpected for both of them.
After getting out of the sedan chair, I saw Duke Xingguo riding over on horseback, surrounded by a large number of royal guards. By his side, they also recognized that Princess Kunxing was accompanying him.
Surprisingly, Liu Rushi also saw Chen Yuanyuan, whom he had met once before. I saw that she was more discerning than before. If she was a flower in bud before, it is now in full bloom. Her appearance, to be honest, is a bit prettier than Princess Kunxing.
It can be seen that she is doing well!
When Qian Qianyi saw Duke Xingguo wearing a python robe, surrounded by a large group of knights in royal robes wearing black and white flying fish uniforms, he looked even more majestic than when he saw Duke Xingguo in casual clothes in Yangzhou, and there was nothing left in his heart. Other thoughts.
Before Duke Xingguo came closer, he signaled to Liu Rushi, and the two of them immediately greeted him.
Seeing this scene, the sour scholars behind them suddenly became energetic.
To be honest, although they seemed to be very energetic when they came all the way, when they saw a large number of Jin Yiwei appearing, quite a few of them thought of the prestigious reputation of the factory guards and became a little scared.
Even when Duke Xingguo was in charge of the Jinyi Guards, he did not take action against them at will; but the great reputation of the factory guards in the past was all irrigated by human blood.
But at this moment, they suddenly saw Qian Qianyi approaching him without fear. Suddenly, they were refreshed and couldn't help but admire in their hearts: He is indeed a scholar leader, with the demeanor that a scholar should have. A role model for our generation!
As a result, each of them seemed to have been beaten to death by Qian Qianyi. Although they stopped making noises, they held their heads high and stared at Qian Qianyi, waiting for him to challenge Xingguo Gong in terms of literary talent and win for him. They pulled it back!
Some of the scholars have even thought about it. If Duke Xingguo dares to fight for his power and mess with unarmed scholars like them, they will not hesitate to be beaten a hundred times, but they will also beat the Wentian drum and cause trouble to the emperor. Go there.
When Duke Xingguo saw Qian Qianyi coming towards him, he also reined in his horse and stopped, watching Qian Qianyi walk over.
A great collision of literary talents is about to begin. This is a dispute between New Learning and Confucianism. Whether New Learning is more popular or Confucianism has a stronger foundation will soon be known!
Many sour scholars have even made their decision. As long as Qian Qianyi is undefeated, they can describe undefeated as a small victory and small victory as a big victory!
Under the gaze of everyone, Qian Qianyi was seen arriving in front of Duke Xingguo's horse. In the middle, a guard in Jinyi wanted to step forward to stop him, but Duke Xingguo waved his hand to stop him.
A showdown is about to take place!
As a result, everyone held their breath and wanted to witness this historic showdown!
Qian Qianyi stopped, bowed respectfully, and said to Zhang Mingwei: "Qian Qianyi, a common man, has met Her Royal Highness, the Duke of the country!"
His posture was very low, which stunned the group of sour scholars who were looking forward to it.
Right after the start, you lost momentum. Is there something wrong with it?
But then they thought about it and immediately excused themselves to Qian Qianyi: Mr. Yu Shan followed the etiquette of the sages and followed the etiquette of the sages. He was polite before fighting. He was truly a gentleman!
Or maybe they understand Qian Qianyi's position. After all, Mr. Yushan is just a commoner at the moment, with no official or position, while he is the Duke of Xingguo, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and by the way, he also has the position of director of the world's military. The status of both parties The difference is too great. We should be polite first and then attack with force. We can defeat Duke Xingguo's army and make him unable to attack. Only then can we have the opportunity to challenge Duke Xingguo and safeguard Confucianism for thousands of years.
No matter what they thought, in short, they all pricked their ears and stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes.
Those in the back who were far away and out of sight did not dare to speak or crowd in for fear of affecting the front.
Although there were many people on the street, it was very quiet, with only the snoring of war horses.
Zhu Yuluo didn't say anything. When she came out, Zhang Mingwei took the lead.
Seeing Zhang Mingwei being condescending, he simply said "hmm".
Although the voice was soft, it sounded very loud to Qian Qianyi, and he even felt that Duke Xingguo was still dissatisfied.
So, he did not dare to neglect, and quickly took out a text from his sleeve, held it in both hands and said: "The common people wrote an article, and I beg the Duke to read it!"
As soon as they heard this, the concerned sour scholars immediately cheered up, thinking in their hearts that Mr. Yushan was indeed well prepared and had prepared an article in advance to challenge Duke Xingguo. This is amazing!
As a result, their eyes widened even more as they watched the next scene, wanting to see whether Duke Xingguo would accept Mr. Yushan's challenge.
