Chapter 358 Everyone Prepares Before the Conference

"Everyone, three days later, the imperial court will set up a stage outside Chang'an City to hold the first public debate meeting in the Tang Dynasty. I've been walking around and taking a look. The imperial court will select [-] people with good moral character and high prestige to participate in witnessing. , I hope everyone will sign up to participate enthusiastically!" Groups of people beat gongs and walked through the streets to promote.

A commoner stopped and asked: "My little brother, what is a public debate meeting? We are all ordinary people, what are we going to participate in? Do you have any juggling fun?"

The leading Marquis Wu smiled and said: "Master, what kind of juggling is it? Isn't this a few days ago that Hou Bai of Lantian held a blind date meeting at home, and proposed that the younger generations and girls should choose who they want to marry, so as not to hurt their parents. Refers to the dissatisfaction of marriage.

At this time, Lord Genduo and his wife thought it was inappropriate, and advocated the words of the matchmaker as ordered by the parents, so the court proposed that ten representatives from each party should have a debate to see which method is suitable for the younger generation to choose a spouse and marry. "

"Nonsense, since ancient times, it has been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can it be the children's turn to mess around?" The old man was instantly angry.

Marquis Wu Xu had seen a lot, so he didn't take it seriously, and persuaded him with a smile: "Don't get angry, the old rules have their benefits, and the new methods have their attractiveness. You are always mature and natural. I think parents see better than children.

But Bai Houye said that in the past, when parents pointed out marriages, many children would be dissatisfied with each other after marriage, resulting in family disharmony or remarriage. This would take time and effort, and would harm both families. As for the matter, can you always understand Hou Ye's painstaking efforts? "

Hearing this, the old man seemed to think of something related to the past, nodded lightly, and sighed: "The Marquis of Lantian is a benevolent and good man, naturally he will not cheat us people, he is trustworthy, so, the old man must go and see one look."

Seeing the success of the matter, Marquis Wu urged: "Master, Lord Marquis said that this is a national affair for generations to come, and it is also a matter of letting the children participate. It is best to take them to see it together. I am always there." When can I grow up listening to my parents at home?"

"got it!"

Publicity like this will be publicized on Chang'an Avenue every day. At the same time, a huge stand will be set up outside Chang'an City. Mohist disciples will preside over the construction to ensure that the audience can hear and participate during the conference. Originally, Bai Fan wanted to build one directly. The conference venue or the huge stadium, but there is too little time, so we can only talk about it later.

At the same time, a group of officials who have been notified by the imperial decree are also busy. Regarding the matter of adhering to the ancestral etiquette this time, they cannot give up an inch, so this debate must not be lost.

Wei Zheng, the boss of the Yushitai, looked at the seniors and Confucian scholars who were temporarily invited, as well as many Yushi officials, and said loudly in the middle: "Everyone, the situation is now clear. Although the matter is caused by Lantian Hou Baifan, everyone in his debate booklet I read them all.

Lan Tianhou was able to link the national economy and the people's livelihood from a small matter of marriage, but it was an act of serving the public wholeheartedly. It can be seen that his quality is not as good as that of an old man.

I was deceived by people the day before yesterday, thinking that the Marquis of Lantian was trying to destroy the ancestral etiquette, so I criticized him a lot, but today, the old man is here to tell you that the argument is not convincing. Regarding Lan Tianhou alone, regardless of whether our viewpoints succeed or fail in the end, we should not criticize him personally.

A person who can say that he worries about the world's worries first and enjoys the world's joys later, as an official, who would dare to say that he is dedicated to the country more than Lan Tianhou? "

"What Wei Gong said is reasonable, I will keep it in mind!"

"Don't worry, my lord. I didn't know the cause and effect before. Now Lord Bai has explained that the marriage involves the guarantee of the country's population, financial and material resources. Who dares to neglect such a major event? We will definitely do our best to perfect all the reasons. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or fails afterwards, I think it will definitely satisfy the needs of the people in the end." A young official said loudly.

Zhongnan Academy is also preparing. Only ten people can participate in this debate, and there are certain rules. It can't be as rude as haggling in a vegetable market, so this candidate is very important!

"It's okay for others not to go, but Junior Brother Du Gou must be indispensable." Cheng Huaimo shouted.

"Master Li said, I can't do it alone as the academy's liberal arts assessment this time!" Du Gou said.

Everyone nodded, "I'm not very good at speaking. I'm not very good at martial arts. Ten of the twenty counselors in the academy will be selected from the liberal arts."

"No, Master ordered. This time it is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. Ten people are representatives. They can't all be people from our academy. It needs the support of the people.

We are going to Chang'an City to invite two more foreign aid. " Li Chengdao explained.

"Come on, senior brother, we asked in Chang'an City, and we heard that our academy disciples are fighting in the arena, who else would dare to participate?
People have said that Du Gou of Zhongnan Academy can fight ten against one, so he doesn't want to bring shame on himself. ’ someone explained.

When Li Chengdao heard this, what is the situation?
"Junior Brother Du Gou, do you have any grievances with Chang'an City Talent?"

Du Gou said hesitantly, "No, there is no grievance, it's just a sparring and a hand-to-hand fight!"

Well, everyone will understand in one sentence, this is not a discussion, it must have abused others. At the beginning, Du Gou made a small achievement in his studies and came out to abuse his classmates. After being invincible in the academy, he went to Chang'an to challenge. Over and over, it has become famous ever since.

Chang Sun Chong persuaded: "Forget it, don't blame Junior Brother Du for this matter, what talent is there in Chang'an City? Those mediocre people don't mind.

I have an idea here, we send out nine people, and let the youngest junior in the academy make up the tenth person. "

"Second Senior Brother, what is the meaning behind this move?" Everyone asked.

"Of course, we will be like this..." Changsun Chong explained in a dark tone.

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed. This second senior brother is indeed a little fox from the family, so insidious?

Time passed quickly. While everyone was busy preparing, the people of Chang'an passed by amidst heated discussions and anticipation. On the day of the debate, there were huge crowds of people outside the south gate of Chang'an City. Li Er ordered the dispatch of 1 imperial troops to maintain order.

As soon as the crowd came to the stage, they immediately became agitated. A group of old-fashioned officials were the first to express their dissatisfaction, "What are you doing? If Bai Fan doesn't come, a group of younger generations will be fine. Why is there still a childish urchin? Are you humiliating us?"

The youngest in Zhongnan Academy is Li Er's fourth son, Li Tai, who is 11 years old this year. Li Er's second son died early, and Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai are the only ones enrolled in Zhongnan Academy.

At this moment, Li Tai slowly stepped forward, respectfully saluted the ten old debaters, and said loudly: "Li Tai, a student from Zhongnan Academy, was appointed to participate in the debate meeting as a representative of childhood children. Please give me your advice!"

it is good!
Before everyone on the stage opened their mouths, the people below began to applaud, such a demeanor is really extraordinary.

Even the elders on the stage nodded secretly. This man called himself an elder, but his salute was the best of his peers, so he had to accept it, after all, he was a representative.

"Zhongnan Academy, come on!"

Behind the ten disciples, 110 students shouted in unison to cheer up, shouting behind as cheerleaders and think tanks.

Unexpectedly, some of the common people gradually began to agree, they were all young and young, and there were quite a few girls.

The faces of the parents around them were all dark. It seemed that the three consecutive days of ideological education had failed, and these boys still wanted to choose by themselves.
