People from hundreds of schools of thought watched the Confucian prince step down from the high platform for debate. Although there was no further discussion, the winner was decided. There were people in the field who had a clear understanding of Confucianism, and their expressions were quite envious.
In the past, the founder of Taoism said: When the Great Way is ruined, there is benevolence and righteousness. When there is wisdom and wisdom, there is great hypocrisy. When relatives are in discord, there is filial piety and kindness. When the country is in chaos, there are loyal ministers.
Many schools of thought came from Taoism. Confucius asked Lao Tzu, Yang Zhu asked Lao Tzu, Mohism studied Taoism and Wenzi, and Legalism incorporated Taoist methods into it.
In the turbulent times, Confucianism has proven its ability to show off its knowledge. Now it has found its own way, and its inheritance is promising. It will last through the ages. After a few breaths, another unanimous voice came out.
"Eight eyes are here, the three cardinal principles are implemented simultaneously, the inner sage and the outer king are the foundation of Confucianism!"
"Big brother, this Taoist Xuan Qingzi has some abilities. As a member of the Taoist Tianzong, he integrated the essence of Confucianism and went one step further to accommodate hundreds of schools of thought. If his principles are truly forged, the kings of all countries will do great good."
Among the Mohist group on one side of the debate platform, the six-fingered black man was still shrouded in a black cloak. Outsiders could not see his specific appearance. He listened to the words of Confucian Gongduzi and Tianzong Xuanqingzi. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Xuanqingzi, these people
The truth is consistent with the Dao.
For a long time, Confucianism has been quite focused on the five aspects of inner sage, study of things, knowledge, sincerity, righteous mind, and self-cultivation. If you take it a step further, you can achieve ordering the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world.
Lu Zhenlang's expression was a little gloomy. He didn't expect that the Confucianists would take such a big advantage. On the other hand, the Mohists themselves, for hundreds of years, had tried to practice the Tao through the kings, but they couldn't do it.
The confrontation between Confucianism and Mohism, and the growth of Confucianism will inevitably lead to conflict with Mohism. At that time, it will be a life and death battle, but those scholars have always taken one step at a time and looked at three steps at a time, which is really insidious.
"As long as there are still wars, bullying, transgressions... and other things in the Xia Dynasty, the Mohist family will not die."
"Coming to Jixia Academy today, arguing and arguing is not the purpose!"
The Confucian way is one step closer. The six-fingered black man made no comments. Hearing the words lying on the side of the road, he pondered for a few breaths, and then slowly responded. Although the Mohist way is difficult, it will never be cut off.
"Everything is ready."
Lu Zhenlang nodded, not entangled in the future of the Mo family. Rather than entangled in those things, it would be better to really do the things in front of him well, thinking about this plan, he whispered.
"Don't miss anything!"
The six-fingered black man also nodded.
Immediately, taking advantage of the lively atmosphere in the debate hall, Lu Zhenlang quietly left and disappeared.
"The ways of hundreds of schools of thought each have their own merits, but there are still descendants of hundreds of schools of thought who come to the stage to debate?"
On the high platform, Zhou Qing stood quietly, bowing to the hundreds of families around him, facing the gazes of the hundreds of families, and asked for battle again. Until the Confucian Duke Duzi stepped down, he had already debated thirty-six families in succession.
Compared with the real Baijia that existed more than a hundred years ago, it may not be enough, but many Baijia have perished, and the Baijia that can survive to this day is already quite impressive. A wisp of internal force is mixed in, whirling around the hall.
As soon as the words fell, the entire debate hall fell into silence.
The heirs of hundreds of families present looked at each other and kept whispering to each other. However, after a few breaths, no one came forward. There were still heirs of small families who had not reached the high platform of the debate. Although they had the intention, it was no longer necessary.
"But there are still descendants from hundreds of families coming on stage to debate?"
"But there are still descendants from hundreds of families coming on stage to debate?"
After asking three questions in a row, he looked around the audience again. No one came to the stage. He turned his body slightly sideways and looked at the Prime Minister of Qi, Hou Sheng, who was at the top of the platform. This grand event in the academy was hosted by the other party.
.
"Hahaha, over the past few years, there have been rumors in the Xia Dynasty that Lord Daowu has become famous all over the world for his extraordinary martial arts. Today, he is debating with hundreds of schools, and it is even more obvious that his principles are extraordinary, and he will win and worship many people."
"Since no descendant of the Baijia School has come to power, in accordance with the rules of Jixia Academy, this time the academy debates, Taoist Tianzong Xuanqingzi convinced the Baijia School and became the winner of the 302nd debate in Jixia Academy.
"
"Yes, in honor of the king's order, the winner should be granted the position of a great official and be famous throughout the country!"
According to the "Book of Rites of Zhou", the positions of the superior officials are below the ministers, namely, the middle officials, the lower officials, the superior officials, the middle officials, the inferior officials, and the supreme official. This minister is the superior official, and his position is the same as the minister of Qin.
Although it was not a real seal, the benefits it brought were obvious. Empress Sheng of Qi State watched Zhou Qing's gift, quickly got up and returned the gift, walked to the front, laughed loudly, glanced around for a week, and made the final decision.
In today's world, the Qi State is also a big country. Although the top officials of the Qi State are not as good as the Taowu Zhenjun of the Qin State, for more than a hundred years, among the hundreds of people who have argued and argued about this, there is only one exception: Tianzong Xuanqingzi.
.
"Thank you."
With a slight smile on his face, Zhou Qing looked at Xiang Sheng and all the people in the debate hall.
"Master Daowu, if my king knows that your Excellency has won the debate, he will definitely be happy."
"Usually during debates, my king comes in person to discuss the principles of governing the country with the victor of the debate. Today, my king has not arrived. The latter also hopes to have this opportunity to discuss Tao and the palace with you, so as to unite the Tao and govern the country."
"I wonder if Hou Sheng will have such an opportunity?"
For decades, among the seven warring states of Xia, Qi State and Qin State were on good terms. In the battle of King Yan Zhao against Qi many years ago, Qin State did not take action. However, during the Changping battle between Qin State and Zhao State, Qi State
The state also never helped the state of Zhao.
The State of Qi served Qin with courtesy, and the State of Qin has always treated Qi with courtesy. As the prime minister of Qi State, he naturally understood the importance of Zhenjun Daowu in front of him. Although he was not as powerful as the King of Qin who came in person, if he was allowed to leave like this and spread the word,
I'm afraid it will damage the friendship between the two countries.
He bowed his hands in a bow, with expectation on his face.
"How dare Xuan Qing refuse the Prime Minister's invitation?"
Even though he mentioned his title of Daowu Zhenjun many times, Zhou Qing clearly understood the meaning of the person in front of him. Although it may be boring to talk about governing the country by Dao, it seems... it is really indispensable.
The ceremony is obligatory.
"Haha, it's noon. It's the time for banquets. Hundreds of families gather together. It's a grand event. We'll talk to you and I in the Xuegong Zhidao Hall in half an hour."
Satisfied with the dignity given to him by the Taoist Lord Wu of the Qin State, Hou Sheng once again spoke loudly, called the people beside him, whispered quickly, returned to his original position, bowed again, and turned around to leave.
Zhou Qing waited quietly for Hou Sheng and others to leave, then bowed to the people from hundreds of schools below the platform, walked down the stage, and returned to where the Taoists gathered. Along the way, many descendants of hundreds of schools were talking happily.

"Fellow Taoist Xuan Qingzi is worthy of being the most amazing talent in Taoism for thousands of years!"
"Controversy and discussion are here, and hundreds of schools of thought are convinced. Confucianism is willing to be defeated, and Mohism is even more incompetent. After today, the name of Xuan Qingzi will be spread throughout the Xia Dynasty, and we will benefit a lot from it."
Taoists gathered together. Song Que approached with an excited attitude and bowed deeply. He glanced at Yin Zhong beside him and did not hide his admiration. When discussing Taoism, it is easier to deal with the words of small schools, especially Confucianism.
Mohists, famous strategists, military strategists, etc.
Perhaps it was due to the identity of Xuan Qingzi’s Taoist friend Daowu Zhenjun, but the words and deeds of his Taoist friend were beyond the reach of ordinary Taoists, especially the words that mentioned Confucianism at the end.
He truly impressed the Confucian prince and made him step down from the pedestal. For decades, ever since Zhuang Zhou defeated Mencius, Taoists have never had such honor and status. How could they not be happy?
"It's just that although Confucianism is at a disadvantage today, Gongduzi has also benefited a lot from Taoist friend Xuanqingzi. The foundation of Confucianism has become apparent. Previously, on the high platform, I had a feeling that Gongduzi was about to make a grand breakthrough."
"If it succeeds, Confucianism will also benefit a lot."
It is a good thing for Taoists to become famous, but Confucianism can also discuss Tao today and obtain the wonderful method of inner sages and external kings. As long as Confucian experts integrate the principles, they can achieve a system and take Confucianism one step further.
It seems that Confucianism is at a disadvantage, but in fact, Confucianism's foundation in Qilu has not been lost, but has gained great benefits. Thinking of this, Yin Zhong is a little worried.
"Confucianism has also benefited a lot? Within the universe, yin and yang are intertwined. Since Confucianism has benefited a lot, it is natural to pay something. In the land of Qilu, the best policy is for Confucianism and Mohism to become a stalemate!"
Glancing at Song Que and Yin Zhong beside him, Zhou Qing murmured after hearing his words. Without saying much, his spiritual sense felt it. A pair of bright lavender eyes looked at where the Confucian family was. There, the Confucian people were already there.
Disappeared.
On the other side, everyone from the Mohist family also disappeared, spreading to the outside world. People from hundreds of families were led by the waiters of the academy to the banquet hall. Such a grand event would naturally last for a long time.
"Young Master, in your capacity, you are here to discuss Taoism with hundreds of schools of thought. You think highly of them. If the Mohists and Confucians don't understand, they will be wiped out easily in the future."
Compared to the worries of Song Que and Yin Zhong, Yan Lingji, who was wearing a flaming gold and red brocade robe, was quite indifferent. If the young master hadn't stopped him, she would have killed the Mo family member directly.
It is inevitable for the young master to argue and win. After following the young master for so long, it is easy to suppress hundreds of families. Although the young master's words are necessary for the hundreds of families, in Yan Lingji's eyes, those people are weak.
In the future, the state of Qin will be in great shape. If the young master leads the troops to supervise the war, who dares to disobey?
"People can be destroyed, but principles cannot be destroyed."
"Let's go."
Shaking his head slightly, people from hundreds of families left slowly in the hall. Feeling the words of victory before and after, they did not stay any longer and turned around to walk out the door, followed closely by Yan Lingji and others.
When Song Que and the two heard Yan Lingji's words, they were startled at first, and then shook their heads. It would be very convenient if all the problems in the Xia could be solved by killing people.
"Sir, there seem to be other Baiyue people here!"
Swaying her body, her spiritual sense spread wantonly, sensing various situations around her. As soon as she stepped out with graceful steps, she raised her eyebrows and felt a familiar aura.
"Ignore it."
Zhou Qing hummed softly and trailed off, looking at the four envoys walking towards the group of Taoists outside the door, two men and two women, both handsome and young. They stepped forward politely and said what Hou Sheng had ordered.
"Xiao Ling, follow me."
"Xiaoyi and them will be left to you."
Discussing the way to govern the country with Hou Sheng, it was decided before. He nodded to the four people, tilted his head slightly, looked at Yan Lingji, and ordered, with a little finger, a ray of lavender mysterious light came out of his hand and disappeared into Yan Ling.
