Li Daru, who couldn't speak, had to slap the table and said, "Skewer! White paper has been the four treasures of the study since ancient times. How can he be a holy thing?!"

Xu Qing coughed and said, "Senior, if you want to say this, I won't agree."

Zhao Daru looked at Xu Qing and said in a deep voice: "How come you don't agree? Isn't white paper a writing utensil?"

Xu Qing coughed and asked, "May I ask, senior, what is toilet cake made of?"

Zhao Daru and Taoism: "Of course it's bamboo."

Xu Qing asked again: "I dare to ask the seniors, before there was no paper in the world, what did they use to write the way of sages?"

Zhao Daru blurted out: "Of course it's a bamboo slip."

Xu Qing asked again: "What are bamboo slips made of?"

Zhao Daru subconsciously said: "Of course it's made of bamboo..."

As he spoke, Zhao Daru couldn't speak anymore.

This question, let alone Zhao Daru was stunned, the Virtuous King and Emperor Chu were also stunned.

Xu Qing said: "Bamboo was also a tool for writing the way of sages back then, and paper was the same. But bamboo could be used, so why couldn't paper?"

Xu Qing admitted that if these great scholars were aware of the truth, Xu Qing might not be able to say anything about them, but the problem is that their arguments were originally a mistake.

The towers in the sky naturally cannot withstand scrutiny.

When Zhao Daru and Li Daru heard Xu Qing's words, the thousands of words that they had prepared yesterday were stuck in their throats and could not say them anymore.

Yes, why is bamboo enough and paper enough?

If they continue to argue with Xu Qing, then shouldn’t all the sages of the past be criticized?

After all, before paper was invented, they used both bamboo slips and toilet chips.

If they continue to criticize, wouldn’t it mean that even the wise men who wrote books since ancient times would criticize them?

At this moment, Zhao Daru and Li Daru suddenly felt that their hearts of Tao had collapsed...

Is it wrong that they have been persisting these days?

Zhao Daru trembled his beard and said, "Is it really that I am wrong?"

Hearing this sentence, the Xianwang and the Emperor Chu were both stunned.

Originally, they thought that the debate between Xu Qing and the two great scholars today must be a verbal battle. The back and forth was extremely fierce. Even if Xu Qing won, he would still win, and even he could not win at all.

Even the imperial physicians outside prepared in advance, just to make a big scholar suddenly gets angry and gets sick, so that he can diagnose and treat it in time during the debate.

However, Xu Qing only used a few words to make Zhao Daru say this.

Zhao Daru and the others knew that they were extremely good at eloquence. Since the late emperor, they had never lost the eloquence in eloquence, and they could make up for the real unreasonable.

But now, just one cup of tea has made Zhao Daru admit his mistake.

I have to say that the Virtuous King and Emperor Chu looked at Xu Qing again today.

Li Daru also looked at Zhao Daru with a look of surprise: "Brother Zhao, you..."

Zhao Daru waved his hand to stop Li Daru from speaking, and then looked at Xu Qing and said, "What do you mean is that whether it is white paper or bamboo slips, they are actually like soft paper and toilet chips, they are not sages, but are we scholars too extreme?"

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "The boy doesn't think so. He has always believed that whether it is white paper, bamboo slips, or soft paper and toilet chips, they can be regarded as sages."

When Zhao Daru heard Xu Qing's words, he was stunned: "How can I explain this?"

Xu Qing said: "The Three Emperors ruled the world, the Five Emperors settled the world, and to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and then to our Great Chu, countless ancestors emerged and each had their own creations. Whether it was Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs, drilling wood to make fire, or the invention of papermaking and printing, these objects were all for the sake of the younger generation to live a better life."

"The world is not kind to treat all things as straw dogs, and the saints are not kind to treat the people as straw dogs. Perhaps, when the sages created objects, they might not have any feelings. As long as it is beneficial to the life of later generations, how can they care about where these things are actually used?"

"As for whether future generations improve whether the things created by their predecessors are right or wrong, time will give the answer, right?"

After hearing Xu Qing's words, Zhao Daru stood up tremblingly, then bent down and bowed to Xu Qing to salute: "What Mr. Xu said, Zhao Wen has been taught."

Whether it was Xu Qing, Li Daru, or the wise king and the emperor of Chu, they were shocked. How could Zhao Daru, who had been extremely proud all his life, give such a great gift to Xu Qing, a junior?!

Moreover, Zhao Daru called Xu Qing a Mr.

In Da Chu, only those who teach and teach can be called a gentleman. Zhao Daru is almost a top figure in the literary world of Da Chu. I am afraid that no one can afford his gentleman in this world.

And he actually called Xu Qing a Mr.?!

After Xu Qing came back from his stunned silence, he quickly bowed and said, "You don't dare to accept the gift from your senior."

Zhao Daru and Taoism: "Confucius said: 'If three people walk, there must be my teacher.' What's more, Mr. Xu's vision is even higher than that. I suddenly realized that I could hear Mr. Xu's words today. Choosing the good and following the teachings of the wise men."

Speaking of this, Zhao Daru bowed again and said, "A while ago, I wrote an article to criticize Mr. Xu because of my old thoughts. Today, what Mr. Xu said made me enlightened me, but I was wrong. Tomorrow, I will write an article to restore my reputation for me, and I hope that I can forgive me."

Xu Qing did not avoid it and just bowed back to the courtesy.

It is no big deal to improve the mistakes. Zhao Daru recognized his mistakes and politely performed his rituals, and it did have a certain impact on Xu Qing's reputation, which is reasonable.

Xu Qing returned the favor naturally because Xu Qing himself was a junior, while Zhao Daru was a senior. It is natural that the junior respected the senior.

It is better for both sides to do this without losing etiquette than to be hypocritical?

Zhao Daru looked at Emperor Chu and the virtuous king and said, "Your Majesty, Prince, I will say goodbye first today."

When Emperor Chu and the King of Virtue heard this, they stood up and saw him off.

As soon as Zhao Daru left his seat, he turned around and looked at Xu Qing and said, "I still have one question to ask Mr. Xu."

Xu Qing said: "Senior, please speak."

Zhao Darudao: "I think the name of holiness of white paper is because white paper has been used only for thousands of years. Why did soft paper not have the idea of ​​soft paper before the invention of soft paper?"

Xu Qing smiled slightly and said, "Seniors, just buy one and try it, don't you know?"

After Zhao Daru and Li Daru left, the Virtuous King and Emperor Chu immediately turned their eyes to Xu Qing, as if they were looking at alien creatures.

Xu Qing couldn't help but step back and said, "Your Majesty, Prince, why do you think of me like this?"

King Xian: "Xu Qing, you are really a genius!"

Xu Qing was slightly stunned. Where did you hear this sentence in your previous life?
