Wei Yang is a typical scholar, with a crown but no crown on his head, wearing a dark plain clothes, and no tattoos on his clothes. Unlike those noble doctors, he has thick eyebrows, as if two sharp swords pointing diagonally toward his forehead, his lips are very thin, he is used to pursing them tightly, his figure is not tall, but his steps are very solemn. It is raining outside, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry. He walked to the door slowly and looked at Bai Dong who opened the door for him with a smile.

Regardless of his appearance, he showed that he was a firm, stubborn, and even a bit mean. Thinking of the Grand Historian's evaluation of Wei Yang, Bai Dong sighed slightly, no one is perfect... The old master in front of him is considered his old master, and he can be said to be a ancestor. Wei Yang does not lack talent and perseverance, but he lacks wit and sleekness. God is so fair that he gave him countless advantages and fatal shortcomings. He was dismembered by five horses in the future. Isn't it a powerful proof that his character determines his destiny?

The tea has been warm and just in the mouth. This is Bai Dong's small invention. The old Qin people drank alcohol and water, but did not drink tea. They just used tea as medicinal materials or vegetables. The "bad habit" of brewing tea with onion, ginger, salt, milk, and ointment has not yet appeared in later generations. Bai Dong believed that people must be led to the correct way of drinking tea from the beginning, so he asked Yue Ji to go to the pharmacy to buy a few kilograms of raw tea leaves, fry them according to the program I remember, and then add some timely petals. After brewing hot water, the tea fragrance was lingering. Although the production process was very rough, it was far from comparable to the finest products of later generations. In today's era, it is also very exquisite and special.

"Wizi, please take your seat and try my special tea?"

Although he could not fully agree with Wei Yang's legal philosophy, he would get close to him after all when he met his colleagues two thousand years ago. This natural intimacy made Wei Yang slightly stunned. He felt that Qin Yangyang was all about to plan, but this disciple of Guigu seemed different. He looked at the slightly yellow tea and said curiously: "Baizi is really different from the common people. Can this tea be used to relieve medicinal use and also be a drinkable thing?"

"It is unique to my Qingxi School. Why don't Wei Zi give it a try?"

"It's so good." Wei Yang nodded gently and sat in front of Bai Dong. The disciples of Guigu have always called themselves Qingxi School. Bai Dong just felt that Qingxi sounds better than Guigu, with bright sunshine and gurgling water. How good is this artistic conception? Unexpectedly, Wei Yang's last doubts were eliminated as a result.

"Good tea, good tea!"

A literati had tea and wine throughout his life, but the tea ceremony took many wrong paths. When the tea ceremony was at its peak, it became eight-treasure porridge. He dared to throw anything into the tea. Bai Dong pointed directly at the original point, how could it be bad? Drinking a mouthful of tea with bitterness and bitterness, Wei Yang felt that the more he looked at Bai Dong, the more he liked him.

"There are three rounds and six turns in the tea ceremony. The hot soup rushes into the bowl and the tea is filled with mist. This is the momentum; when drinking tea, gently suck it into the mouth, let the fragrance of the tea soup roll on the tip of the tongue. When the fragrance is full of the mouth, swallow it in one mouthful, reach the abdomen and fill the pores. This is the technique..."

"Bai Zi has a good idea, what about the method in tea?"

Wei Yang was becoming more and more interested. Bai Dong used tea to discuss the Tao, but he talked about the Legalists. Qingxi scholars were indeed very good. It was a pleasure to be able to drink with such a scholar. All the unhappiness after coming to Liyang was immediately wiped out.

"Fa? Wei Zi is really good at joking..."

Bai Dong smiled and picked up the pottery bowl and turned it gently in his hand: "Who is the law established and who should be in charge? I am afraid that different people who legislate and those who practice the law will have completely different results. Also in the law, the king can be like a branch or a rapturous sun. This is the case with the national law. Isn't the law contained in tea this the truth? Wei Zi thinks?"

Talking about theory is tiring, and it is not enough to be uninformed. If you speak plainly, you will be looked down upon by Wei Yang.

Bai Dong's passage actually contains the balance between legislation, law enforcement and monarchal privileges and law in modern rule of law theory. The last meaning of Wei Yang probably cannot understand it, otherwise he would become a genius who has been thinking two thousand years ago. It should not be difficult to understand the first two meanings. Bai Dong really wants to hear his opinions. As for the matter in Hexi, Bai Dong is silent now, and the time is not right. Talking about this issue too early will only induce Wei Yang's rebellious psychology.

"The upper part should be like the scorching sun. The scorching sun does not speak or move, but it will be lured by all things and clear away the haze. This is the source of the law. The three schools of the Legalists actually originate from one family, so the legislator is the ruler, and the law is the one who practices the law, our generation of the Legalists."

Once he talked about knowledge, Wei Yang suddenly became serious, his eyes glowing, and he looked directly at Bai Dong.

"I can understand Wei Zi's idea. The king is the sun that is silent, but it will continue to shine and heat, affecting the people and ministers. This is the ultimate goal of the Legalist school. It uses the king to intimidate ministers and enables laws and regulations to be passed; the magic school uses the king to improve the law and the law; the legal school wants to use the king to improve the law and the law in the world, and ultimately replace the rule of law and rule! But Wei Zi thinks this is really feasible? The king's scorching sun exists for a day, so how can we talk about the real rule of law? I will ask Wei Zi one thing, if the king violates the law of the country, will you govern or not?"

“Not cured…”

Wei Yang's face turned red, and he thought for a long time, and finally lowered his head. Even Shang Yang at his peak did not dare to challenge the power of the monarch, and even the crown prince of the country did not dare to rule the law, so he could only find a scapegoat...

"Your Majesty breaks the law and fails to punish him. How can Wei Zi talk about the Legalists and the rule of law?"

Bai Dong did not want to argue that Wei Yang was overthrown, but to plant a seed in his heart so that he could understand the simplest truth. The law discussed by the Legalists is still just a man. Since it is a fifty-step laughter, where will you get the confidence to offend the world in the future? As for some advanced ideas in the modern rule of law, he would not talk about it, nor dare to talk about it. The development of the rule of law is inseparable from the economic foundation, and time travelers cannot set up tall buildings out of thin air! Today, he said these words to Wei Yang in the hope that when he reforms in the future, he would think of today's debate and be gentler.

"After receiving the teachings, the disciples of Qingxi are indeed well-known. Bai Zi and Yang still want to ask for advice, but what can I do if I go up there like a branch?"

Lao Tzu said that the supreme is ruthless, but he advocated a "small government and big society". When Zhuangzi came to Zhuangzi, he proposed that "the upper part is like a branch, and the people are like a wild deer", which is closer to nature. Zhuangzi has not been born yet, so Wei Yang naturally couldn't understand it, but he felt that this was very consistent with the theory of Xujun advocated by the Legalists. He was a studious person and couldn't help asking.

"The above is like a branch, and the people are like a wild deer, which means that everything is learned from nature..."

Halfway through the words, I saw Wei Yang shook his head. That's right. Not to mention him, I don't agree with Zhuangzi's theory. After all, humans and animals are different. Animals can survive naturally because their wisdom is not enough to break through the constraints of the food chain, but humans can! Once they have the ability to change the world, who else will abandon it? When the laws of nature cannot restrain humans, they will have the heart to compete and fight, and the natural world of great harmony is a dream.

"Wei Zi doesn't agree? Actually, I don't agree with this theory either." Bai Dong smiled.

"You don't agree? Then you said so wonderfully, both a branch and a wild deer?"

"Haha, so what seems wonderful theories are often wrong, so we must be careful not to be confused by them; then is the view we agree with must be correct?"

Bai Dong smiled and said, "I want to ask Wei Zi to come today. I actually want to do three things. The first is to ask Wei Zi to know that we can be friends. The second is to hope that Wei Zi understands that whether it is as good as the sun or as the ball branches, they are actually theories that need to be improved, not perfect. The third is my ultimate goal. My point of view will be wrong. Will Wei Zi's views be correct, such as your view of Hexi? Today is the first meeting between the Qingxi School and the Legal School. We debated like friends like friends. If I debate the ownership of Hexi on behalf of the Old Qin State on behalf of Wei Zi in the future, can Wei Zi treat it as an ordinary debate? If you lose, will you be convinced and will you help Qin State convince Wei Xiang?"

It would be impossible for Bai Dong to debate with Wei Yang at the state banquet, but that would mean that it would be difficult for Lao Qin to be calm from the beginning, and it would be difficult for Wei Yang to lose if he loses. If he loses, he would have to be convinced and help Qin to convince his husband and uncle.

With such painstaking efforts, he first came forward as a student, started with Wei Yang's professional field, and started with a politically unconventional debate. He only discussed knowledge in order to gain Wei Yang's recognition. With this premise, debating the matter in Hexi became a pure dispute of opinions, which could make him convinced and sincerely help the Qin State convince Gongshuzhu.

After living in Yue Ji for three days, Bai Dong finally achieved the perfect process. Whether the result can be perfect depends on how he convinced Wei Yang.

Even Jing Jian is a buddy, he still has to report his private meeting with Wei Yang to Lao Yinglian and Li Jiang? Is it easy for me to make some money...

"Okay, just say a matter of justice to Bai Zi. If you can convince Yang, Yang might as well convince Xiang Xiang. But Yang thought that Bai Zi would be difficult to do it?"

"Is that? Then please make sure Wei Zi is ready to deal with our future debates. This time I will convince you on behalf of Qin..."
