Chapter 25: Thousands of Paths, How to Continue
"The 105th Jixia Academy was the site of debates, and the Academy's order was clear. Scholars from all over the world, Jixia Academy has always been famous for its unrestrained style of study and free debate."
After Judge Lu Fengnian finished speaking, Young Master Wuji and Young Master Yu Zhu stood up, bowed their hands to each other, and sat down cross-legged at the same time.
Lu Fengnian looked around and saw Lu Qingchen in the crowd. He took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, I believe you all know today that the topic of the debate is 'What is the way to govern a country when countries are constantly in conflict?' I believe it is not just you, but also everyone."
The city, the country, and even the nations all want to know the answer.”
After a pause, he continued: "Everyone can speak freely and tell what is in your heart. Well, I don't want to say any more, so I would like to ask Wei Wuji, a debater from the State of Wei, to replace 'Hegemony' in today's debate.
Hand Yu Yuzhu debates in place of 'Wang Dao'. You can also challenge like the two of you. Now I invite two debaters to start the lecture."
After hearing the judge's words, Wei Guowuji took the lead in speaking out his opinion: "Wuji came here this time to prove to you that the art of 'dominance' should be emphasized."
Mr. Yuzhu of the Yu family then said: "No, no, this time Yuzhu is here to prove to you that you should pay attention to the art of the 'king way'."
The two debaters spoke one after another, and the scene instantly became tense.
The so-called art of domineering refers to relying on the strength of the country to dominate the princes and conquer the world in the name of benevolence and righteousness. The so-called art of kingship relies on morality and ethics to implement benevolence and righteousness, and to conquer the world through benevolence and righteousness.
When completely different ideas collide, sparks fly.
Young Master Wuji said again: "The countries have been in constant disputes for years. The small neighboring countries are unruly and always invade. If the army here presses the border, the other side will immediately surrender. When the army leaves, they will return to their old ways. This is how to practice 'hegemony'
With this technique, small countries will surrender."
"Young Master Wuji, Cai." The crowd surrounding him burst into excitement.
Mr. Yuzhu then said: "Countries are constantly fighting, all because of the collapse of rituals and music, and disobedience to enlightenment. The true way to govern a country is to implement the 'King's Way' and educate all citizens with benevolence and righteousness."
"Master Yuzhu, Cai." The crowd gathered around gave the same cheers as before.
When the cheers subsided, a clear voice was heard saying: "Master Wuji, Master Yuzhu, and Master Qingchen have different opinions on this." After saying this, he bowed his hands to the two of them.
When the two young masters saw the speaker, they smiled slightly like a spring breeze blowing on their faces, and their smiles were as gentle as jade. They both greeted Lu Qingchen and said, "I dare to ask Mr. Qingchen, what do you have to say?"
"According to Qingchen's opinion, the countries are fighting, and the people's livelihood is in ruins. We should follow the legalist way and govern the country according to the law, so as to regulate the country's discipline. If the national discipline is well-organized and the people's livelihood is not in chaos, the world will be clear and clear." Lu Qingchen met everyone and said politely.
"Young Master Qingchen, Cai." The scholars sitting around became even more excited.
Yu Yuzhu was extremely disdainful of this, and snorted coldly: "When did the magic sect become enlightened?"
"That's true. How can a school of magic be worthy of the Dao?" Wei Wuji was equally disdainful.
As a judge, Lu Fengnian felt helpless when he saw his eldest grandson like this, but he could only shake his head vaguely. After so many years, he is still so insistent, and he doesn't know who he is like. The Lu family has a scholarly family history.
However, the expenditures of our family have been so variable. It doesn’t matter, if we hit the south wall a few more times, maybe we will turn around.
Lu Qingchen didn't take it seriously when he saw this, and said again: "The two young masters seem to be a little biased. They don't argue with Qingchen, but first criticize Qingchen's way. What's the reason?"
Without waiting for the two young masters to answer, Lu Qingchen continued: "The laws and regulations can be extended to the king, and to the common people."
"Master Qingchen, what's the point?" "Yes, explain it to us." The bachelors sitting around were very surprised to hear what Lu Qingchen said, so they asked.
Lu Qingchen bowed to everyone again and said: "If a country follows the law, the country will be rich and powerful. 'Confucianism' can even be referred to as 'lice', 'rituals and music', 'poems and books', 'benevolence and righteousness', 'cultivation of kindness', and 'filial piety and brotherhood'
'These are all things that are harmful to the country and the people..."
One stone can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves. Now, everyone could no longer sit still. No one cared about what Lu Qingchen said behind him. Who would be willing to belittle what he had learned in daily life?
"What Mr. Qingchen said is so serious that my ears almost fell off in shock."
"Exactly, how can such a person who talks nonsense deserve to be debated in Jixia?"
"Quickly come down to the stage. We want to listen to the debate between Mr. Yuzhu and Mr. Wuji."
Lu Fengnian was so shocked that he pulled off a few strands of his beard. Seeing a group of angry people, he was about to go forward and lead Lu Qingchen away. However, he found that there was someone faster than him. They were a group of boys and girls who were robbing people very quickly.
, and asked a group of people to wait, dumbfounded.
He became famous all over the world in one battle, but it was a pity that they were all infamous. At this time, a group of people who were completely unaware were leading Lu Qingchen away.
They fled to where Luo Xixian and the others stayed, and when they closed the courtyard door, the group spread out their hands and feet and sat on the ground.
"Okay, Mr. Qingchen, you can't tell that Lis, who is usually a polite person, can be so deviant." Luo Xixian said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Qingchen was born in and grew up in an aristocratic family. He never thought that he would become an 'outsider' and he doesn't know what to do. But if he doesn't do it, Qingchen will be uneasy in his life." Lu Qingchen also had a relaxed smile on his face.
Meaning.
After all, we had just shared the same sorrow, Xuan Yingli also asked with concern: "Master Qingchen, what are your plans next?"
Lu Qingchen shrugged his shoulders, made a gesture that was not in line with the etiquette of a family member, and said, "I haven't decided where to go yet, and I won't be able to return home for the time being."
"Brother Qingchen, didn't you say you would go to Luo Country with me?" Bai Yuanyuan suddenly became anxious and jumped out to grab someone.
"Hey! When did you catch up?" The two owners of the yard asked in unison.
"I came back with you, or he pulled me away." After saying this, he pointed at Xuan Yingli.
Xuan Yingli was shocked, thinking back on the way back. It seemed that he had been dragging someone along, but he thought it was Mr. Lu Qingchen.
Xuan Yingli scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well, I seem to have been dragging someone with me when I came back."
Lu Qingchen laughed loudly: "Brother Yuanyuan, Qingchen has made a big mistake this time, and I will no longer be with you."
"I..." I remembered Bai Yuanyuan, the Luo King of my Luo Kingdom, who always used to dress people down, and I couldn't speak anymore.
Luo Xixian, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly heard her say: "How about I make a fortune telling for you to determine your future direction?"
When Lu Qing heard this, his eyes suddenly burst out with light, which seemed to dazzle others. Then he bowed to Luo Xixian and said, "Hey, sister Xixian also knows divination, so Qingchen will rely on you a lot."
The latter secretly thought: It's just a few acquaintances, it seems like we are very familiar with each other, it's normal that we don't know each other just now.
