Chapter 342 A white horse is not a horse

Liyang Winery!

It was built by Hou Ying, a big businessman during the Xiaogong period a hundred years ago. Under the original recruitment order, scholars from Shandong came to Qin one after another. Yueyang Winery was the largest transit station. Later, many famous officials of the Qin court came from here. Yueyang

The wine shop became famous because of this.

To this day, although Yueyang Winery has not changed much from a hundred years ago, and is not even as luxurious as Wushi Residence in Nancheng, however, it is the best place for traveling scholars.

Because here, you are very likely to meet famous ministers and officials of the Qin court. If you are lucky enough to be appreciated, you will jump up and show off what you have learned. Many of these things happened in Yueyang Winery.

Zhengming Hall!

This is the place where hundreds of schools of thought contend in the Liyang Wine Shop, and it is also where people from hundreds of schools of thought debate. It is imitated the debate hall of Jixia Academy. The winner of the debate will be famous, and will be given fine wines and delicacies.

It was still late, the sun was still strong, and there were still many people in the Zhengming Hall. In the hall and the ring on the second floor, there were scholars leaning on the railings to watch. Their eyes were focused on the core platform of the Zhengming Hall, where the person standing at the moment was

one person.

He has long hair and a very tall and burly figure. Although it is late summer, his clothes are still very thin. He is wearing a light red brocade robe. He is luxurious and quite arrogant, if not for his bronze face with crisscrossed grooves and blazing eyes like fire.

With a unique vicissitude, almost anyone would identify him as a businessman.

"I was a scholar of the Qi State and learned from the famous Gongsun Longzi. I sat here and debated for ten days, but I did not encounter anyone who defeated me! Therefore, today I will discuss the essence of the famous scholars, and then I will leave Qin and return to Qi to seek Confucianism.

Master Xun Kuang debated at Xiaoshengxian Village."

As soon as the person on the stage opened his mouth, the sound of humming all around stopped, and eyes focused on him again, on the wide wooden stage that was more than three feet tall. As soon as he said this weak word, the surrounding area was filled with excitement.

.

"If Dunzi defeats the Confucian master Xunzi in the Little Sage Village and fulfills the wish of the famous Gongsun Longzi, he will be the best eloquent person in the world!"

In the past ten days, Dun Rui has thoroughly proven himself in Zhengming Hall, and has conquered many scholars around him. In terms of the essence of eloquence, he is really not as good as the famous Dun Rui.

Hearing what he said, everyone was looking forward to a debate with the Confucian Xun Kuang. Who is Xun Kuang? He is one of the few famous people left in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, and he is also the most famous one.

In the Jixia Academy, Xun Kuang debated with the Confucian Gongsun Longzi and defeated the famous masters. Now if he can regain his face after being weak, he can not only lose the face of the Confucianists, but also restore the reputation of the famous masters.

"For hundreds of years, people in Xia have said that the learning of famous scholars is based on piecemeal debates. Their plans have no bearing on the world, their opinions are not relevant to the country, and their learning has no bearing on the people's livelihood. It is far from the outstanding learning of Pharaoh, Mohist and Confucianism! Is this really so?

No!"

"The learning of famous masters explores the subtleties, distinguishes differences and refutes difficulties, and discovers things that ordinary people cannot see in the most common things. The irrational becomes reasonable, and the reasonable becomes irrational. The profoundness of their speculations cannot be understood by those who are not gifted with wisdom, even if they are sages.

Beyond wisdom!"

"How can such a great university have nothing to do with the country and the people? No! The learning and theories of famous scholars are the great road of the world. Only ordinary people can't understand them! Only mediocre people can't understand them. Famous scholars can be regarded as the best learning.

It’s sunny and snowy!”

Over the past hundred years, especially after Confucianism took a dominant position in the Jixia Academy of Qi, the life of famous scholars has been difficult. Especially decades ago, Xun Kuang defeated the famous Gongsun Longzi in the Jixia Academy and completely suppressed the famous people.

Since entering the Qin Dynasty, although Dunwei has thought that his talent for debate is unparalleled, it may be that there is a lack of talents in this field in the Qin State, which is why he has not yet encountered an opponent. He will soon leave the Qin State to rectify the names of famous people.

"Since Dunzi recognizes that the learning of famous scholars affects the world, I have a question!"

After a breath, some scholars in the audience spoke loudly.

"But it doesn't matter."

He nodded weakly.

"What kind of person has reality but no name? What kind of person has name but no reality? What kind of person has no name but no reality?"

The scholar smiled brightly, bowed his hands and looked at Dunwei.

"Good question!"

"..."

As soon as he said this, everyone around him cheered.

"Things that have reality but no name are like merchants. They have the reality of hoarding wealth and millet, but everyone in the world despises them. Therefore, they have reality but no name."

"Farmers are those who have a name without any real facts. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. They plow with their backs and dig wells to drink. They are tired of having enough food and clothing throughout their lives! However, the whole world is based on agriculture and emphasizes agriculture.

Farmers, calling farmers the gods, this is a name that has no real meaning!"

"As for those who have no name and no reality, today...the King of Qin is the same."

Dun Ruo shook his head. Why did he take this small issue into his eyes? He smiled leisurely and said three answers.

"Qin's law is very strict. Don't talk nonsense if you are weak!"

Someone suddenly shouted loudly and criticized.

"This is the state of Qin, don't bother us!"

Everyone in the audience echoed. For a hundred years, Qin Fa has been in the government and the public. If such words were spread, he would be punished.

"You are looking down upon Qin!"

"In the world's debates, only when it comes to politics can we see the true meaning. Although Qin's laws are strict, they are not embedded in the population. Although Qin's policies are strict, they do not kill innocent people. Why should we be afraid?"

However, then, a thin man in gray clothes and plain robes walked out of the crowd of onlookers. He first saluted from all directions, and then climbed up to the high platform of Zhengming Hall.

Such scenes instantly silenced the Zhengming Hall, and then a look of excitement flashed in the eyes of one of the scholars. Is this going to be another debate? Since two days ago, no one was victorious and weak, no one has come forward.

Before, I didn’t expect another one to appear today.

"Then, on what basis can Dunzi say that the King of Qin is nameless and insubstantial?"

This person climbed up to the high platform for debate, followed the previous words, looked at Dun Rui, and asked again.

"To strengthen a country and enrich its people, there is talk of tigers and wolves; to raise a mother who has traveled thousands of miles, but to bear the name of unfilial piety. Isn't it just nameless and insubstantial?"

He chuckled weakly and responded.

"I will add one more thing: protecting the law with an iron fist but with the voice of tyranny."

However, the man in gray clothes and plain robes shook his head again and confronted Dun Ruo tit for tat.

"Okay! Break the prejudices of the Six Kingdoms and restore the true character of King Qin!"

There were old Qin scholars all around who were excited and clapped their hands and cheered.

"The debate is off topic! I have another question!"

However, although the two people on the high platform of the Zhengming Hall were tit for tat, their comments were biased. Immediately, another person was dissatisfied and stood up from one side. He spoke politely and spoke loudly.

"Just say it with a single step."

Dun Rui watched the passage with great interest.

"Dunzi said that famous people are related to the great road, but I dare to ask what does a white horse or a non-horse have to do with the rise and fall of the world?"

The man returned the gift and said so.

"Exactly! The sophistry of famous people has nothing to do with practical matters!"

This topic has not been refuted many times in the past ten days. Introducing this topic is just a good time to take a look at Dunwei again, and also to see the level of the person who takes the stage this time.

A response.

"I asked a question about synonyms, and I might be able to tell the true meaning of famous people at a glance."

In this way, I have been experiencing weakness for a long time and am calm and composed.

"explain!"

The man in gray clothes and plain robes across from the high platform waved his hand.

"Six countries are not countries."

A mysterious smile flashed across Dunruo's weathered face.

As soon as these words came out, the entire Zhengming Hall fell into an uproar again. The white horse is not a horse, and the six countries are not countries. The original intention is the same. If we force the debate, I am afraid that we will fall into the trap set by the famous experts again.

Even the man in gray clothes and plain robes on the high platform raised his eyebrows. When it comes to the core of the essence of famous people, this is a very difficult bone to crack. But today, the noble man is here. Whether he wins or not is not important. The key is

This person's words.

"The famous people are suddenly weak. The six countries are not one country. It's interesting. What do you think of Wu Zhenjun's words?"

Regardless of the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two people on the high platform of Zhengming Hall, at some point in front of a private room on the second floor, a group of strangers took up a position and cast their gaze downwards, directly into the two of them.

Listening to what the two people on the high platform said, a young man with a jade-like face also raised his eyebrows. The theory that a white horse is not a horse is the essence of famous scholars. It is difficult to argue that the six countries are not countries.

"His words are naturally enough to be regarded as a great talent in diplomatic relations. As for the white horse is not a horse, the six countries are not countries, the long sword is not a sword, and the people of Qi are not human beings...these topics are all the same in origin, and the key lies in this - not the word."

"Famous people change the connotation of non-characters at will, so those who challenge them are difficult to resist. However, they are limited to polemics and debates. They are practical and not obvious. This is also a source of the gradual decline of famous people!"

Naturally, those staying at the Liyang Wine Shop were Qin Wangzheng, Zhou Qing and others, accompanied by guard Li Xin to protect them. At this moment, Yao Jia was debating with Dun Ruo below, and was about to test the depth of Dun Ruo.

After hearing the words of Qin Wangzheng, Zhou Qing responded slowly. The white horse is not a horse, but there are many explanations. Therefore, if you cannot grasp the core, it is easy to be led by the other party and fall into a trap.

"The three major turning points of the Warring States Period mentioned by Wei Liao earlier are also true for the hundreds of schools of thought. After the war, fewer and fewer schools of thought can survive. Nowadays, the most prominent learning is Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism and Taoism. In a few years, I don't know.

There are still a few left!”

"He is a weak man, but he is talented in diplomatic eloquence and can lead important affairs!"

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been hundreds of vassal states, but now only seven are left. Similarly, since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been hundreds of vassal states, but now only about ten are prominent, and the rest are not prominent.

The general trend of the world, under Qin's law, I don't know how those hundreds of families will make decisions.

"..."

"Guo, the word for the shape of fate. Six, the word for the number. The words shape and number are not related. The country is the country, and six means six. To be precise, we cannot say that the Six Kingdoms are countries, we can only say that the Six Kingdoms are not

Country. Therefore, the six countries are not countries."

Yao Jia, who was ordered to test Dunwei in front of him, spoke loudly and responded to Dunwei's Liuguo Feiguo.

"The six countries are not countries, how can they have nothing to do with the world?"

"Such propositions are only causing chaos in the world!"

"..."

"In a single step, what is the right way to maintain good relations with China?"

"Those who have good relations with each other can use eloquent words to break down the country's strong walls and move the hearts of the world!"

"Who can move the hearts of the world?"

"Understand the general trend to change its direction, explain the interests and dangers to defeat the enemy country, and declare the great government to calm the people."

"..."

"The human heart is not the heart, how can we unite it?"

"People's hearts cannot be united, but the hearts of the world can only be united."

"Why?"

"The hearts of the world all have human form, so they can be one."

"..."

"Hahaha, after ten days at Yueyang Winery, I finally met a real talent today. I would like to hear about my name!"

On the high platform of the Zhengming Hall, Yao Jia and Dun Ruo were constantly facing each other. You said something and I said something. There were many deviations in it, but the two of them did not take it seriously. It is difficult to break the white horse and not the horse, but when they encounter

Opponents are even rarer.

"Da Liang Yao Jia!"

Yao Jia also smiled brightly and bowed to Dunwei.

"Jixia is weak! Cai..."

"Da Liang Yao Jia! Cai..."

The scholars in the audience held their composure during the two people's repeated exchanges. They could not understand the meaning for a moment. Now they came to their senses and were in great admiration. They couldn't help but burst into cheers. According to the tradition of debate, this was a recognition of the two people's talents. In the future,

This is a reputation that spreads all over the world.

"Hahaha, meeting Dunzi here today is a Taoist fate. Why don't you and I sit in a private room and continue chatting!"

The two of them walked hand in hand down the high platform of the Zhengming Hall. Yao Jia was the first to speak. He looked at the noble man who had disappeared in the corner of the second floor. Hearing the clear words that just echoed in his heart, he quickly looked at Dunxi with more enthusiasm.

"Have a great time today and drink as much as you can!"

Without any hesitation, it was a pleasure to meet a well-matched person in Xianyang. He nodded to Yao Jia, without any hesitation, followed the direction Yao Jia was heading, and slowly climbed to the second floor and walked towards a private room.

location.

But just after taking two steps, he raised his eyebrows. The private room where Yao Jia was leading him seemed to have been occupied by someone. There were four people guarding the door. Judging from their energy and energy, they were all extraordinary. They seemed to be soldiers in the army.

.

After hesitating, Yao Jia was leading him into the private room. Looking around, there were already two people in the private room. They were slightly different in height, but they were both dressed in brocade robes. Jing Jing

Standing quietly in it, watching the two of them walking inside.

"Brother Yao, this...?"

Dun Rui was strange. Didn't he say that he wanted to find a private room to talk in detail? How did he come here? Dun Rui was not worried about his own safety. No one dared to be so bold in the Liyang Wine Restaurant.

"How lucky you are to be here, sir!"

Before Yao Jia could say anything more, among the two people who had been waiting in the private room, a young man in a light white brocade robe stepped forward, bowed his hands and bowed, with his soft hair tied up in a crown.

There is quite a sense of silent nobility.

He is obviously not an ordinary person. It can be seen that he has traveled and studied in Zhuxia for many years.

"How precious is the name of a single step!"

Even so, Dun Rui still felt unhappy. Even though the other party bowed, there was no real etiquette. According to the etiquette of first friendship, both the host and the guest had to sign up for the ceremony.

The host in front of him bowed long and far away, which showed that he was sincere. However, Dunwei had always been unruly and had the habit of debate among famous people. When he saw that the host only welcomed guests without registering his number, he immediately mocked him for being rude.

"I'm sorry..."

Yao Jia's face changed slightly, and he quickly tried to defend himself, but was waved away by the young man in front of him.

"Xianyang Yingzheng, I have met Dunzi!"

The noble young man shook his head, then smiled softly and saluted again.
