In front of Baoguo Temple, Xu Fengnian was dressed in white, with two daggers at his waist, and several stunning women behind him. He stood out among the young men who came to attend the Qu Liu Liu Shang.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you go in?"
On the other side, Zhao Kai, who was also dressed in gorgeous clothes and dressed up as a handsome young man, also came over, holding a fan in his hand. He was more handsome. Zhao Kai was not inferior to Xu Fengnian at all, and he didn't look at who his teacher was?
"Hey, Lao Kai, you don't plan to be a poor family today! Wen Hua will definitely beat you up if you look like a coquettish guy."
Zhao Kai said seriously,
"Ahem! This young master, please show some respect. The person standing in front of you is the most talented person in the world. How can a foul-mouthed vulgar like Wen Laoer be compared with this young master?"
After Zhao Kai finished speaking, he ignored the speechless eyes of Xu Fengnian and his group, waved his sleeves, and entered Baoguo Temple without looking back.
Xu Fengnian:
"You are so beautiful, please remember to cooperate with me later!"
I have to say that this literary gathering is completely different from those gatherings of heroes and heroines. The people here are basically handsome boys and beauties, at least in terms of clothing. They are all bright and beautiful. It is just like the upper class people who came here to attend in later generations.
Same as a party.
Zhao Kai walked around and looked around, like a curious baby.
"Brother Chen, no, brother Zhao, long time no see!"
Not long after Zhao Kai came in, he was blocked by a young master.
"Oh? Your Excellency?"
The young master clasped his fists and said, "I am Cheng Cheng of Luzhou. Brother Zhao may not recognize me, but Brother Zhao's demeanor in the Zhuangyuan Building in Tai'an City three years ago is still vivid in our minds. We admire him endlessly."
Zhao Kai didn't expect that he would be recognized as soon as he entered. When he was in Tai'an City, he dressed very poorly, and he was completely different from himself now. But it's no wonder, he is the best in the world and there is no one else.
You know, that would be strange.
"I didn't expect that Brother Zhao would also come to participate in this debate today. What a blessing! Come on, Brother Zhao, please come here," Cheng Cheng said before pulling Zhao Kai to the seat in the front row, continuously introducing Zhao along the way.
regular script.
"What, that young master is actually the most talented person in the world? Oh my God! Why is he here too!"
Everyone was shocked and bowed to Zhao Kai one after another. The crowd also began to whisper.
"It is said that Brother Zhao is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and music. There will be a good show today!"
"Yes, but this debate between kings and hegemons is different. It depends on his understanding."
"I don't think he is the most talented person in the world. We and other talented people from Jiangnan have never been weaker than others. It's just that we never participated in the imperial examination."
·····
For a moment, the scene was almost boiling, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Kai. After all, people have always been the first in literature and the second in martial arts since ancient times. Zhao Kai can be praised by so many students.
, in addition to being admired by many people, it will naturally also dissatisfy many scholars.
Zhao Kai bowed and said: "Ahem, you can continue the debate about kings and hegemons just now. Zhao also wants to hear your opinions."
To be honest, Zhao Kai is not very good at this kind of debate. Zhao Kai has basically never taken any classes at Shangyin Academy. Zhao Kai feels a little strenuous to listen to all these.
The so-called debate between kings and hegemons means that those who implement benevolent government and convince others with virtue are kingly; those who convince others with strength are domineering.
The debate between kings and hegemons has been around since ancient times. Scholars like to convince people with their reasoning, so they naturally prefer the kingly way. The student named Yuan Honghu on the stage is a typical representative of the kingly way. He respects the king and splashes the hegemon. He keeps talking there.
.
It is said that people in the world are too utilitarian. If there is no benevolence, justice and morality, then in the end this society will be left with some utilitarians who work hard.
In fact, there is some truth in what you say. If you keep convincing people with force, it will definitely not work. You still have to be moral. But on the other hand, if being reasonable is useful, what should the police do?
Can you restrain yourself, and can you restrain others?
Zhao Kai turned to look at Xu Fengnian. This guy kept giving him looks, which meant that you should hurry up! We are all waiting!
Zhao Kai stood up helplessly. To be honest, even if Xu Fengnian didn't remind him, he couldn't listen anymore. What's the point? There were a bunch of people applauding below the key point. Zhao Kai said to Yuan Honghu:
"What you say makes sense, sir, but I have a few questions for you, sir. Could you please answer them for me?"
"Brother Zhao, may I ask?"
Zhao Kai said: "If one day, a million-strong army from Beimang invades the south and slaughters our people in the Central Plains, and you are asked to go and talk about benevolence, justice and morality with the Beimang army, can you be sure that you can persuade them to stop the army in the name of benevolence?"
If you can't lift the sword, how can you protect the people of the Central Plains?"
"This? The barbarians in Beimang are all unenlightened savages. How can they know etiquette, justice, integrity, benevolence, justice and morality?"
"Then it can't be done. Since we still need to rely on millions of troops to defend the world, then why do you want to respect the king here? How can you reason with others when your life is about to die?"
Then Zhao Kai continued to say loudly:
"Only twenty-three out of ten of the hundreds of millions of people in the world can read and interpret sentences. It may be possible to subdue such people, but what about the rest? Applying benevolent policies may be good internally, but it is absolutely impossible externally.
.
As the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain! It can be seen that the king's domineering rule is indispensable!"
Zhao Kai kept talking, while Yuan Honghu was speechless. To be honest, this kind of debate is not too simple. It is just a bit troublesome to organize the text.
Of course, there were still some people in the audience who were a little unconvinced by Zhao Kai's remarks, but they were all repelled by Zhao Kai in a few words. They were a bunch of nerds who didn't even know a bucket of rice and copper coins, and many people couldn't live any longer.
Talking about eternal life is just copying what is in the book, and has no idea what it means to seek truth from facts and keep pace with the times.
Are the saint's words absolutely correct? Do you think Zhang Fuyao can only be reasonable? That's because you haven't been beaten by him. The old man's fists are much more powerful than his mouth. He knows how to convince people with force.
But you are constantly misinterpreting his meaning.
If the teacher were here, he would definitely give these people a scolding. If he had this time, he would not go out to see the outside world and come here to talk loudly.
At the Qushui Shang Gathering, Zhao Kai quarreled with the Confucian scholars and made the students fall into silence. Even the several great Confucian scholars who were presiding at the side were made red-faced by what Zhao Kai said.
It was obviously a debate, but it almost turned into a quarrel in the end. Zhao Kai also gained a lot of supporters after this rally.
