The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1754: Celebrating Dog Barking at Snow

Some people showed great interest, because the main purpose of participating in this literary conference was to watch the literary competition. If there was no fight between the two sides, it would be better to go to the capitals of various countries to watch the literary conference. This was exactly what everyone wanted to see.

Now Qingjun couldn't help but take action, which shows that Qingguo has prepared a lot of means.

The unusual movements in Seat A and Seat B quickly attracted people from Seat C, and then spread to other seats.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of scholars looked at Fang Yun and Qing Jun, and anyone who was a Jinshi could hear their conversation from a distance.

Fang Yun's friends from the Holy Ruins, led by Yan Yukong, all looked there.

Yan Yukong whispered: "Qingjun comes forward, don't be rude."

Yan Yukong was from Qingguo and a good friend of Fang Yun. At this time, they could only help each other, but Li Fanming understood and immediately sent a message to Fang Yun secretly.

"After being reminded by Yan Yukong, I realized that Qingjun insulted you and Jingguo with the 'Sanzhao Pingtian Crown' before. Although your remarks were too direct, no one could say anything. You have to be careful this time, don't Directly attack Qing Jun himself, otherwise, the officials of Qing State will make a fuss and cause trouble in the meeting, which will make you lose face and make you angry, which will achieve their goal. "

Fang Yun naturally knew it well and nodded gently to express his gratitude. Then he looked at Qingjun and was about to speak. Jiang Hechuan, the Minister of Literature, suddenly raised his glass to Qingjun and said: "When I admired the moon with the late emperor, you were still a young man. , now you have become the king of the country. Chanjuan comes out from the east and misses you when she sees the moon. Come, I will give you a drink!"

Qing Jun was startled, knowing that this was Jiang Hechuan's interruption. It would be best if he could avoid the topic. He couldn't avoid it, so that Fang Yun could have enough time to think. If others interrupt him, he can just refuse. The king of a country has such confidence, but Jiang Hechuan is well-known throughout the ten countries and is a well-known gentleman. It is also said that he is valued by many Li Diange elders and is the favorite to be the next Li Diange elder. Offending such a person is almost equal to offending half of the ceremonial palace. Not to mention the king, even the head of the semi-saint family must consider the choice of candidate.

Qingjun raised his wine glass helplessly and said with a smile: "Uncle, you're welcome. You are getting older and stronger, but my nephew's health is not as good as yours."

The officials of the Qing Kingdom nodded lightly, and Qingjun called himself "nephew". This not only brought the relationship closer to Jiang Hechuan, making it difficult for Jiang Hechuan to obstruct him again and again, but also made other scholars think that Qingjun was observing etiquette. , there was no denying Jiang Hechuan face.

Jiang Hechuan seemed to have wanted to say something else, but when he saw Qingjun lowering his posture, he nodded and said nothing more.

When everyone saw Jiang Hechuan like this, they felt that he was indeed a gentleman of Jingguo.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a Qingguo scholar smiled and said: "Fang Xusheng, you can't even answer this little question from the Lord, right? By the way, does anyone in Jingguo still want to interrupt? Come and get the number in line, we'll be slow Wait."

Many Jingguo scholars showed displeasure, but since the Qingguo people said so, it would be a bit shameful to forcefully help Fang Yun. After all, Jiang Hechuan was in front of him. If he imitated Qingguo's nonsense, he might not even have Jiang Hechuan's literary name. Corrupted.

Some people in Jingguo looked at Fang Yun, hoping that he could resolve it.

Fang Yun smiled slightly and said: "Is this the ancient scholar of the Ministry of Personnel of Qing State? When I heard your voice, I remembered a small thing. This small thing can probably answer Qingjun's question."

The ancient great scholar smiled and said, "I am all ears."

"Please tell me." Qingjun looked at Fang Yun with a smile.

Fang Yun said: "Friends from Jingguo visited the Qing Dynasty in winter. Fortunately, there was heavy snow across the river and we were surrounded by several states. The dogs in several states were all barking and eating. The people who walked wildly spent the whole day until there was no snow."

This story is very simple. It tells that Fang Yun's friend went to Qingguo in winter and was lucky enough to encounter heavy snow crossing the Yangtze River southward and covering several states in Qingguo. Because the dogs in various states had never seen snow, they were very frightened, barking and biting, and ran wild for several days. When the snow melted, the dogs returned to normal.

When Fang Yun finished speaking, laughter erupted in the venue, and many people even slapped the table and laughed.

Jiang Hechuan looked at Fang Yun, dumbfounded.

The big rabbit was rolling on the ground holding his belly and laughing.

Yan Yukong sighed: "I would rather offend the King of Hell than Fang Yun. Sincerity will not deceive me."

"Fang Yun's mouth is so poisonous! It's like a knife stabbed into Qingjun's chest and pulled back with a hook. It hurts so much! Look at the faces of Qingjun and the ancient scholar." Li Fanming smiled.

The ancient scholar's face was red, Qing Jun's chest was rising and falling slightly, and his face was slightly green. Fang Yun's words were too unpleasant to hear. Although he just said that some Qing people were like dogs that had never seen snow, and laughed at the Qing people for not seeing the world, but in fact , the "friend of Jingguo" in this allusion refers to Fang Yun himself, and the so-called dog naturally refers to the Qingguo people who attacked Fang Yun.

"The dog barks at the snow. Yes, it's worth recording." I saw a historian hurriedly picking up a pen and writing it down in his notes.

There are many historians and scholars present. They came here to record today's literary meeting. Although not everyone can participate in the compilation of official history, they are all qualified to write unofficial history. When encountering such interesting things, how can they not record it in the historian's notes? principle.

At first only the people in the front seats knew about it, but such important news soon spread, and there was a lot of laughter, causing the poetry session on the high platform to be temporarily suspended.

Those who came to the stage were not only not angry, but also stared at Fang Yun or Qing Jun with interest.

People from Jingguo and other countries laughed heartily, but people from Qingguo could only smile bitterly.

However, most scholars did not complain about Fang Yun. Instead, most of them complained about Qingjun and the Minister of Libu in their hearts.

A Qingguo scholar complained quietly: "You said Fang Xusheng was standing there peacefully, why did you go and provoke him? Now you are being treated like a dog, right?"

"If you want to defeat Fang Xusheng, you can only fight with force, not outsmart him. Who among those who fought with Fang Yun before didn't have a crooked mind? What was the result? He beat them to a pulp. Playing a war of words in front of Fang Xusheng is just showing off one's skills in front of an expert. Don't you see how Fang Xusheng has come all these years? He has been through a hail of arrows and bullets all the way. He is afraid of no one!"

"I don't want to curse, but I have to curse now. Qingguo The reputation was originally good, but now it is in a mess. Once the story of the Qing dog barking at the snow spreads, other countries will definitely use this sentence once they become enemies with the scholars of Qing. Just thinking about it makes me hold my breath! "

"The means of killing without bloodshed still have to be looked at by Fang Xusheng. He can make up an allusion by scolding people. There are really few people in the world who can do it."

Suddenly, Zong Wuyuan, who was beside Qing Jun, stood up, coughed lightly, and said: "Fang Xusheng, what you said..."

Before Zong Wuyuan finished speaking, the big rabbit suddenly jumped up, pointed at Zong Wuyuan and screamed loudly.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!" After shouting, he held his belly and laughed wildly.

This rabbit is not big, but it is a spiritual creature after all, and the sound is very loud, so Zong Wuyuan can't continue.

At this time, the old man Hua Jun, who was sitting at the second seat, suddenly said with thunder: "Whose rabbit is this?"

The big rabbit was startled and lay on the ground, covering his face with his two paws, and his two long ears drooped behind him.

Li Fanming was startled, and quickly stood up and faced the direction of Elder Huajun, saying: "This is a spiritual creature that I have raised for many years. I hope you will not be offended by the rudeness."
