The court suddenly became quiet, and a needle could be heard.
The first time Li Xianzi was able to tell the specific location of that sentence in "Gongyang Biography", it was because he had prepared it long ago, but the second time, why was he able to accurately tell the story of this Wenzong of Qi State? question
Officials don't think that Li Xianzi has memorized all the scriptures so well that he can tell which book, page and line any sentence comes from. No one can do this, not even Zhou University. Neither can Guo Wenzong.
Baiguan glanced at the old man surnamed Meng, and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Li Xianzi had colluded with this old man
If this is the case, His Majesty would have an explanation for suddenly replacing Bachelor Zhou with Li Xianzi.
But the question is, is the other party really that easy to buy
While all the officials were full of doubts, they didn't know that Emperor Jing was not at peace. He chose Li Yi out of trust in him, but he didn't really believe it in his heart. .
Only Li Xuan leaned on a pillar around the veteran, counting the number of birds flying across the sky in front of the hall.
No matter who it is, if you compete with Li Yi, isn't it stupid
The moment he agreed to compete with that Qi Wenzong, the other party had already lost.
"You really surprised the old man." The old man surnamed Meng finally looked at Li Yi seriously.
But Li Yi was thinking in his heart, when will this competition end, and it seems meaningless to ask about it. Does it have to admit defeat before it ends
If the old man had a thicker skin, wouldn't he be able to go home for dinner in the morning
"Should I ask?" Li Yi looked at the old man and asked.
The old man surnamed Meng narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.
"In the third year of Emperor Wu of Qi, Wei Jing, the prime minister of the left, came to remonstrate with Emperor Wu on the grounds that women were messing with the government. This matter." Li Yi looked at the old man surnamed Wei and asked: "How did Emperor Wu respond to Zuo Xiang Wei Jing?"
The third prince of Qi State was startled when he heard the words, and then his face changed slightly.
Among the hundreds of officials, many people immediately changed their faces. What happened to Li Xianzi, who actually asked Qi Guowen Zong about Qi Guo, isn't this a clear question
"Nonsense!" The old man surnamed Meng frowned and said, "In the third year of Emperor Wu, not long after the founding of the Qi State, Empress Wenjing was virtuous and virtuous, so why talk about chaos?"
"Hey, Mr. Meng, Li Xianzi didn't just talk about it, it's true." The third prince of Qi State coughed lightly and said.
The old man surnamed Meng frowned even more, "Why has this matter never been recorded in history books, and which scripture did it come from?"
"This matter is a royal family secret. All the books involved have been destroyed. It is normal for Mr. Meng not to know." The third prince of Qi State shook his head and said: "Mr. Meng, don't ask any more questions, let's continue."
…
…
In the Lizheng Palace, the envoys of the Qi State and the officials of the Jing State finally saw the most unique debates they had ever seen in their life today.
According to the conventional process of debates on classics and meanings, most of the time, one party asks questions and the other party answers, and then the party who asks the other party seizes the loopholes of the other party and launches an attack. throw in the towel...
Today, however, the situation is quite different.
Li Xianzi never asked the great Wenzong to explain the meaning of the scriptures, nor did he ask weird questions like the one he asked at the beginning, but the questions he asked were even more tricky. A generation of Wenzong couldn't answer where the questions he asked came from. What about interpretation
Even the senior scholars in Hongwenguan suspected that it was fabricated by Li Xianzi, but when the eunuch dug out the original text from Hongwenguan, everyone could only look at each other, looking at him like a monster.
He could even memorize such unorthodox sutras. No matter how well-read and memorized Da Wenzong is, it is impossible to remember all the sutras and meanings for thousands of years. At this time, he can only hold this breath in his heart. The questions asked became sharper, and the great Confucian scholars in the court frowned.
However, the result also surprised everyone.
No matter how the old man surnamed Meng asked, Li Xianzi could always give a perfect answer, so perfect that he couldn't find any loopholes to attack. The whole process of debating scriptures was orderly. Zi asked, but the old man surnamed Meng couldn't answer. After such a few cycles, the old man surnamed Meng could no longer maintain a calm face.
The expressions on the faces of the envoys of the Qi State were as if they had seen a ghost. The scene they saw today had a great impact on them. The boss was suppressed by that young man from the beginning to the end. Is there something he doesn't know
On the other hand, the ministers of Jingguo had already relaxed their expressions. If they had known that Li Xianzi was so powerful, why would they have worried for so long? Looking at Wenzong of Qiguo, it was only a matter of time before they conceded.
The third prince of Qi State showed astonishment, looked at the old man who was once again in deep thought because of Li Yi's question, walked to his side, and whispered: "Old Meng..."
"The old man lost." After a long time, the old man surnamed Meng raised his head and said in a low voice.
There was no resentment in his tone, no unwillingness, he had indeed tried his best, but the young man opposite him had already reached an amazing level of familiarity with the scriptures. Nowhere near him.
He even had a feeling that what he was facing was not a single person, but Jingguo's Hongwen Museum...
"I didn't expect Jingguo to have such a young and outstanding man. This old man is willing to bow down." The matter has come to this point, but the old man surnamed Meng didn't continue, arguing and debating, the other party's answer made him indisputable, how can he continue
"Acceptance, acquiescence..." Li Yi arched his hands and said.
I thought that the Confucian classics debate was so high-end, but I didn’t expect it to be opened in such a way. It was an open-book exam, and it was an open-book exam in which the answers to all questions could be easily found in the book...
It's just that what Li Yi didn't know was that today's so-called debate on scriptures was not only beyond his expectation, but also beyond everyone's expectations. , and can’t help sighing, maybe the one who caused the chaos of today’s Confucian classics is that Li Xianzi...
The task assigned by the old prince has been successfully completed. When Li Yi was about to retreat, the old man surnamed Meng suddenly asked, "What did Emperor Wu say to Wei Jing?"
"The old man really wants to know?" Li Yi looked at him strangely.
Not only the old man surnamed Meng wanted to know, but even Emperor Jing and the officials were aroused by Li Yi's words, and looked at him one after another.
"The old man is all ears." The old man surnamed Meng nodded.
"My mother, let me say one more thing, I cut off your dog's head!" Li Yi said with a smile.
The third prince of Qi opened his lips slightly, and after a while, he shook his head, only showing a wry smile.
