I held the girl's hand and smiled, "It's okay. As the saying goes, his mind is hard to deal with, and he has his muscles and bones. It's better to have Fang Cheng and Bonajin. Oh, by the way, all the children are with me. If they are by my side, you can rest assured, right?" The children I was talking about naturally referring to the disciples of this young master. After hearing this, Cheng Luanluan naturally had no choice but to speak.

The palace maid brought the cloak and put it on me: "Honey, just go with peace of mind. I and my sisters will naturally take care of the house. I hope that my husband will practice hard. On the day of the cauldron, I will bring my children and my parents-in-law to cheer for my handsome men." The palace maid and my daughter-in-law were like the blessing goddesses in online games, adding countless blessings to me. Well, I left the house with their advice and blessings with satisfaction, called Fang Cheng and others, and went straight to the villa in the back mountain of Qujiang Academy.

What I didn't expect was that I went to the villa in the back mountain to go to practice in seclusion and made me miss it. Luo Binwang and other die-hard supporters who did not return to their hometown for the New Year also gathered. The prince Li Zhi also wandered around and said that he was cheering for me. Because Uncle Li said that the prince was forbidden from participating in the competition. I think Uncle Li did not want others to think that the other party retreated because he was afraid of the imperial power, so that this prince could not win, which caused the Confucian scholars to be dissatisfied with the court.

In addition, Li Zhi also brought a message to allow members of government agencies to participate in this debate competition. "Do your father feel that he is much more idle and must be willing to play to death?" After hearing this, I was so angry that I was so angry that I had many restrictions on this son, but strongly supported the opposition.

"Hehe, Brother Jun, you underestimate my father too much. Isn't my father a petty person?" Li Zhi smiled and came forward and whispered: "Brother Jun, my father asked me to come and remind you that he believes in your strength and that you will definitely become a winner. He also asked me to congratulate you on your success. By the way, my father still has some words. On the day of the opening of the hall, my father will definitely come to cheer for you."

"...Your father is really, forget it, anyway, if there are too many fleas, I won't feel biting. Since your father is willing to make this debate appear more powerful, it's okay." I rolled my eyes helplessly and sighed.

Li Zhi quickly said, "Don't say such things. Can you still not know your strength? Even if you are dead, you can fool him to survive. How can you just a few old people in the officialdom? You can still catch your eyes on Jun'er and make you speechless?" After hearing Li Zhi's words, I snorted coldly, ambition suddenly arose, and stood with my hands behind my back: "Not to mention a few old people in the officialdom, even if I, the Confucian scholars of the Tang Dynasty, squatting at the Qujiang Forum, as my teacher, I can still quote the scriptures and refute them one by one."

"Okay! This is Xiaozhi's master. I am worthy of being the number one talent in the academic world of the Tang Dynasty. I have been here in the past few days and share the joys and sorrows with my master." Li Zhi raised his thumbs at me.

Di Renjie and Lu Chen also arrived later. I even complained that I would not treat them as disciples. I would not call them such good things. After a while, I originally planned to go to seclusion and practice alone. As a result, a large villa was crowded with people. Fortunately, our villa was big, and there were no less than thirty rooms on the first and second floors. In addition, Li Zhidi's villa was next to me, and there were too many people to be afraid of not being able to stay.

With more people, I naturally can't go into seclusion anymore. I just gather them together every day and completely instill in them my academic thoughts on "Evolution of Heaven". In addition, through repeated discussions and arguments with them and persuasion, I can become more familiar with "Evolution of Heaven". Every two to three people, I repeatedly debate and refute each other, and I am also involved in it.

Because I just declared war on people, and did not say that I would fight against 800 people alone. Therefore, if our helpers can deepen their understanding of my academic thoughts, it will be of great help to them, and will also increase my confidence in this debate competition. The entire villa lasted for seven or eight days, and finally ended our pre-match drill.

The Qujiang Forum New Year is the first debate competition. Because it is winter, I don’t want my opponent to stand with me on the side of the Qujiang River in the cold winter, trembling with my nose and mouth. It will make others think that I deliberately borrowed the cold hands to harm my opponent. Therefore, the venue of the debate competition has been changed to the Academy Hall where the area occupies the most and accommodates the largest number of people.

There were more than a dozen opposition parties across from me. Among them were Kong Yingda, the Imperial College Priest, and the two Imperial College Priests, Kong Yingda and Linghu De. I knew many of them sitting beside me, either the bachelor of Chongwenguan, or the master of Hongwenguan, or the old scholars who were famous in the Tang Dynasty. Seeing this posture, I couldn't help but feel guilty. At the meeting of the synagogue, there were no less than a thousand people sitting, and in the private rooms on the second and third floors on both sides, there were all nobles of the Tang Dynasty families. Uncle Li, Li Zhi, Li Shen and others also occupied a private room. The princess was also in the private room. I didn't know what he was saying to Li Zhi. The prince had a flattering smile on his face. I was silent for him.

I looked over a little longer and saw that our family was all here. Even Ling'er and the others were in the private room with their kids. Seeing them gave me great courage. No matter how daddy cannot leave a shadow of failure on his children, at least, this young master will never let him lose this old face in front of his juniors.

I took a deep breath, moved my lips and tongue, and gently patted my cheeks with both hands. Luo Binwang next to me was very curious and leaned over and whispered, "What's wrong with the young master?"

"It's okay, I'm doing warm-up exercises, so I can perform better later. Otherwise, you can try it too?" I said to Luo Binwang. Unfortunately, Luo Binwang was not interested in it. He made a haha ​​and checked the information in his hands to prepare for the upcoming competition. I continued to move and debate competition and had to warm up in advance. The tongue and oral muscles were fully exercised to make his mind more checked. This is my experience. Most people don't tell him. If Luo Binwang doesn't listen, that's his loss.

First of all, Zheng Xuyou became an intermediary again, sitting in his position, and began to sing. Well, all the listeners below did not make noise. After all, the Qujiang Forum has been held for more than a year and dozens of sessions. Everyone has already explained the principle that no noise is strictly prohibited in the debate venue. Nearly half of the people sitting are my students, and many are Chinese students. There are also many scholars from academic schools who are also staying there with the students. They hope to see this century-old debate.

After Zheng Xuyou announced the debate as usual, he announced that the debate began. The first one was Luo Binwang, the right-hand man of the young master. As the main general, this young master naturally would not take action easily. As soon as Luo Binwang jumped out, he explored the origin of the theory of "Evolution and Ethics of Heaven".

"... Tigers and leopards fight against rabbits, and the villagers think that they are wrapped in their belly, and the people of the village hold the beasts with sticks to protect the output. What does this mean? It explains the difficulty of survival. The theory of heaven is to tell the people of the world..." Luo Binwang's eloquence is also quite good, and he knows how to quote scriptures and classics when talking about things.

However, soon the other party started to fight back, very fiercely, one after another. Fortunately, because the regular venue here is not a vegetable market, there is no quarrel, but the audience is intoxicated. At this time, I took over Linghu Dedi's attack. This guy believed that "The Evolution of Heaven" refers only to the competition between earthly creatures since humans, or the competition between humans and other creatures. However, "The Evolution of Heaven" says that humans' goodness is so terrifying that it is simply blasphemy of the teachings of the sages.

"Haha, Lord Linghu's words are wrong..." I stood up, and as soon as I opened my mouth to speak, Di Renjie, who was about to jump up and fight back, had to sit back on the couch, wiped the foam from his mouth, and took a big mouthful of tea. Well, this disciple also made a lot of effort in this debate today.

"And the competition between people and countries is even more omnipresent. Looking at the history of China, in the era of exciting and talented people emerge, there are all times when competition is fierce and victory or death. The battle between Huangdi and Chiyou in Zhulu, Shang destroyed Xia, Zhou destroyed Shang, and in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the nations competed for power, and the war was even more terrifying. Isn't this competition or what is it?"

Linghu De wanted to refute with a ugly face. I did not give him a chance and continued to say loudly: "It is because of competition that every country understands a truth. If you want to survive, you must first cultivate politics and have strong force. On this basis, Gou Jian slept with firewood and tasted gall, farmed with the people, and finally through ten years of hard work, the national strength surpassed Wu, destroyed Fuchai and became dominant. Only then did Qin's five-skin exchange for Baili Xi, Shang Yang's reform, Zhang Yi Lianheng, and Ying Zheng unified the world. Only then did my great unification of China have been glorious. Here we can see that competition has been with the footsteps of my Chinese ancestors and the development of society to this day. Without competition, how can we have the prosperous times of peace now?..."

Applause and fierce applause. This flawless answer made Linghu De sit back on the couch with a dark face. However, Old Man Kong stood up again. It’s okay. I am very familiar with this old guy. He has been defeated by my master for many years. I will never be afraid.

"Mr. Fang is such a bad word. Now that I am prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, who dares to compete with me? Since we are the people of a country, we should serve the country wholeheartedly to repay the emperor's kindness. Can people's hearts be suspicious and attack each other, and all officials are fighting for each other, and all people are playing the show of fighting. Isn't the world chaotic? If there is no such thing as the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty?" Kong Yingda's slowly said, which made many people present nodded and agreed. Why, the words have already set their sights on the Tang Dynasty. It is clear that this old guy is just trying to be cruel.

I was so ruthless that I was trying to make me feel bad, but this kind of problem is just a piece of cake for me. I laughed: "Go back to Mr. Kong, please see where you are standing, and then look at my juniors. According to your words, you and I should work together to serve the court to repay the emperor's kindness. Why do you stand here and argue with me here so red? "As soon as this said, there was a burst of laughter, and Old Man Kong's old face turned red. Well, he was very embarrassed and angry, afraid that he did not expect that my words would make him so embarrassed.

"I would like to ask Lord Fang to answer Mr. Kong's words first." Linghu De saw that Old Man Kong was like this, and quickly stood up to divert his sight. Old Man Kong's question was actually very simple. Competition, of course, not only refers to life-and-death competition, but also refers to the healthy competition between each other. It is precisely because of healthy competition that society has been improved and developed, so that science and technology can be carried forward. Only competition can be civilized and progressed. "Food competition and the fittest survive". Competition is conducive to social creation, discovery and use talents with the best.

As for the method of selecting talents, at the beginning, the superiors would become officials who liked each other, or you would be a royal family, or you would become an official. Later, in the Han Dynasty, it was improved into the system of recommendation. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system was adopted, which was to select officials through fame. The Nine-rank Zhongzheng system directly selected officials through family backgrounds, which made a large number of talents not valued. It was precisely because the ruling people saw these disadvantages that the imperial examination system was created.
