Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment and then saw Li Shimin sitting at the top with a proud look on his face.
Just now he was thinking of saying, otherwise he would not compete.
The emperor agreed directly to himself.
"Mr. Zhao, this matter is of great importance and I will not show mercy."
"If Mr. Zhao feels unsure, you can choose to withdraw from the debate." Fang Xuanling walked out of the queue of civil servants and said to Zhao Chen.
Fang Xuanling looked at Zhao Chen's face and couldn't look away for a long time.
so similar!
Fang Xuanling thought to herself.
Zhao Chen wanted to turn around and leave, but the emperor was sitting in front of him, staring at him.
Just now I didn't give him a chance to speak.
If he admits defeat now, wouldn't that be a slap in Li Shimin's face?
Normally the emperor might not care, but in the Tai Chi Hall...
Zhao Chen is not crazy yet.
"Young man has little knowledge. When I was young, my family was poor and I didn't read much. So, please... the prime minister, just come over."
Everyone thought that Zhao Chen would show weakness to Fang Xuanling first to win his sympathy.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen's last words immediately changed his momentum, startling all the officials in Tai Chi Hall.
"This kid is really interesting." Li Jing said to Cheng Yaojin with a smile.
"Ahem, I think Zhao Chen is too arrogant." Cheng Yaojin scratched his head, but his face was also full of smiles.
Young people, if you don't act arrogantly, wouldn't it be a waste?
However, Fang Xuanling was afraid that he would be angry.
When Fang Xuanling heard Zhao Chen's words, she was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face and she said, "Master Zhao is really different from others."
"Since Mr. Zhao is unwilling to admit defeat, I have no choice but to bully the younger one."
"Your Majesty, you have forced Zhao Chen to be like this. He has never been like this before." Empress Changsun said worriedly.
In the eyes of Empress Changsun, Zhao Chen has always been a gentle and elegant young man.
Why are you so arrogant today?
"Zhao Chen is a young man, so it's normal for him to be more public. Don't worry, I think this kid will win." Li Shimin's mouth twitched.
What does Zhao Chen's appearance like this have to do with him?
Empress Changsun said nothing and watched Fang Xuanling walk to the center of the hall, her heart full of worry.
"Brother Yao, since your daughter has such a good relationship with Zhao Chen, you have to stop her later. You can't..."
"Today I only have my ears and eyes with me. The next generation will have to deal with their own issues."
Cheng Yaojin also wanted Li Jing to help Zhao Chen.
Who would have thought that Li Jing would directly reject it for himself.
"Uncle Bao, I'm afraid Zhao Chen is in danger today." Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Qiong aside and sighed.
"Let's take a look first and then talk." Qin Qiong said, looking a little dazed.
…
"Your Majesty, when I look at the history books, I have always had doubts in my mind that the strength of the Six Kingdoms was far greater than that of Qin."
"Why did it end up being the Qin State that destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world?"
"Mr. Zhao, I would like to know what you think of the Six Kingdoms being annexed by Qin?"
After Fang Xuanling asked her question, she turned around and asked Zhao Chen.
After hearing Fang Xuanling's question, Li Shimin's expression suddenly darkened.
He only thought that Fang Xuanling would ask some questions about people's livelihood, and that Zhao Chen could make a curved shaft plow, a barrel cart, and knew how to remove the smell of pork.
People's livelihood matters are definitely not a problem for him.
Moreover, Li Shimin specially summoned Fang Xuanling yesterday and hinted to him that he would ask Zhao Chen about people's livelihood and other issues.
Who knows...
Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, his expression a little ugly.
"Fang Xuanling raised such a question as soon as he came up. It seems that he didn't want Zhao Chen to win at all." Empress Changsun muttered softly, clenching her fists.
Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.
Fang Xuanling really lived up to his expectations.
As soon as it came up, such a problem was thrown up.
Even Li Chengqian himself didn't know where to start to answer this question.
The Six Kingdoms were destroyed due to too many factors.
No matter where Zhao Chen answered, it was only a one-sided view.
Fang Xuanling had many ways to refute Zhao Chen.
"The housing minister is a little too much, isn't it? Who can answer such a question?"
"There are too many reasons for the destruction of the Six Kingdoms. No matter which direction you answer, it is ultimately the result."
"The Prime Minister is not like this on weekdays, so why is he so stingy today?"
"Although Zhao Chen's words just now are a bit arrogant, after all, he is a young man and a high-ranking minister, so he is so targeted at him."
"Zhao Chen's face is probably going to be completely humiliated today. Look at His Majesty's face."
The ministers in the court were discussing in low voices.
Everyone felt that the question Fang Xuanling just raised was a bit excessive.
And they had already seen the emperor and queen's expressions darken.
"Mr. Zhao, if you feel embarrassed, you can choose to admit defeat. You are young and it is normal not to know how to argue. You can..."
"Ahem, the issue of the prime minister is really a bit simple. I can tell you about it now." Zhao Chen waved his hand and interrupted Fang Xuanling.
Zhao Chen's words made Fang Xuanling freeze on the spot.
This question is just like what he said himself.
He doesn't have an exact answer either.
But this did not prevent him from finding flaws in Zhao Chen's answer.
"Your Majesty, did Zhao Chen just say that he could answer Fang Xuanling's question?" Empress Changsun quietly pulled the corner of the emperor's clothes and whispered.
"Yes... right!" Li Shimin nodded slowly, looking at Zhao Chen in front of him, somewhat unconscious.
Even he himself had not thought of how to deal with Fang Xuanling's problem.
Zhao Chen, can he really do it?
Li Jing sat on the stool, his eyes that were originally slightly narrowed were now slightly opened, looking at Zhao Chen expectantly.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Chen.
There was not a single noise coming from the Tai Chi Hall.
"The Prime Minister asked why the six countries were finally destroyed by Qin when they were all stronger than Qin."
"Many people will say that the Qin Dynasty was rich in talents, while the talents of the Six Kingdoms were withered, and the remaining heroes of Qin Fen six generations finally destroyed the Six Kingdoms. This is not the fundamental reason." Zhao Chen said slowly.
When everyone heard this, their expressions became stern, and their eyes were fixed on Zhao Chen.
They all felt that the reason why Qin was able to unify the six countries was because Qin was too strong.
But Zhao Chen just said...
This made all the ministers curious.
"The six kingdoms were destroyed not only because of the disadvantages of the army, but also because of bad fighting, but because of bribing Qin. Bribing Qin and losing strength was the way to destruction."
"The six kingdoms were destroyed, and the fault lay in bribing Qin." Zhao Chen said slowly, looking at the ministers in the palace.
Zhao Chen also did not expect that the question Fang Xuanling asked him was actually about the reasons why the Six Kingdoms were attacked and destroyed by Qin.
Isn't this a mistake?
As a good young man who has received education in the new era, how can it be so difficult to get him?
"The disadvantage is bribing Qin?" Chai Lingwu stood up, sneered, and said: "Zhao Chen, don't be blind..."
"Shut up." Fang Xuanling suddenly shouted and glared at Chai Lingwu.
"The disadvantage lies in bribing Qin! Mr. Zhao, your summary is really good. I have thought about it for a long time, but I have never thought of the root cause."
"I wonder, Mr. Zhao, can you explain this sentence in detail for me?" Fang Xuanling looked at Zhao Chen with a look of surprise on his face.??
