Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 181 Undefeated Debate

Speaking of the queen, the prince stopped abruptly: "Brother, I can't talk about this matter."

Xu Zhiqiong didn't ask any more questions. He himself wasn't interested in royal disputes. He was more interested in blood trees.

But the prince didn't know the purpose of the blood tree: "What is the purpose of turning people into trees? I haven't figured it out until now. There are very few cultivators of the four evils, and very few cultivators of chaos. Almost no one knows." The skills and means of a chaos cultivator."

Lin Qianniang looked at the missing engraving next to it, and reminded her: "Your Highness, Gongsun Companion is coming."

Accompanying the prince to study, a seventh-rank official, is the person who accompanies the prince to study in name, but is actually the prince's teacher, the person who teaches the prince to read.

Isn't the prince's teacher from a senior member of the first rank—the prince's young teacher?

The prince's young teacher is only a teacher in name, usually held concurrently by a prince or an important minister, and belongs to an official position without actual position.

The prince's young master was King Huai, how could he go to the palace every day to teach the prince.

Liang Yuyang doesn't like reading very much. It is said that he has had dozens of accompanying readers, and this Gongsun accompanying reader is named Gongsun Wen. He has been teaching the prince to read since last year, and he has persisted for a long time.

"In this companionship, the most annoying person is this person. I have chased him several times, but he just refuses to leave."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Your Highness think of a way, just embarrass him a few times."

The prince shook his head: "Don't say it's embarrassing, I've scolded him many times, this guy has thick skin, but he doesn't take it to heart."

"Then beat him up!"

"This is a teacher invited by the emperor, how can you beat him just by saying it."

Xu Zhiqiong shrugged his eyebrows: "Then there is no other way."

"There is a way. He made a bet with me. If I raise a question and I can argue against him, he will never come to the East Palace again!"

Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "It's not easy, who can beat Qianniang in debate?"

Lin Qianniang shook her head and said, "This man has invincible debate skills, but I can't compete with him."

"Is there still an invincible rhetoric?"

Lin Qianniang sighed: "His debate is called the theory of two hearts, one is the heart of a fool, and the other is the heart of a wise man. According to his remarks, the common sense of the world is the theory of a fool. He can use the heart of a wise man He has a very quick mind and can say the most absurd things with reason and evidence, even I am ashamed of myself."

What is the heart of a fool, the heart of a wise man?Xu Zhiqiong was confused.

He was originally a seventh-rank petty official who taught the crown prince, but he dared to provoke the crown prince repeatedly, did he think his life was too long?
After a while of silence, Xu Zhiqiong laughed loudly: "I have a plan to make His Highness invincible."

The prince looked surprised: "Let's hear it!"

"Your Highness, don't argue with him, naturally you won't lose to him!"

"Bah!" The prince spat on Xu Zhiqiong, and said with a sad face, "I really don't want to see this fellow!"

Lin Qianniang urged: "Your Highness, hurry up, don't make Gongsun Ban wait for a long time, but you have to talk endlessly, Xu Lang and I are waiting for you here."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Your Highness, don't be impatient, and deal with him slowly."

The prince smiled and said: "I will deal with him slowly, you two take your time to do things!"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "We can also do it faster!"

"If you want to go, go together! How can I suffer and you enjoy the blessing? Qianniang hides behind the screen, and Zhiqiong studies with me."

Xu Zhiqiong looked troubled: "What's the use of my going..."

The prince forced Xu Zhiqiong and Qianniang to the study room, Qianniang hid behind the screen, and Xu Zhiqiong sat next to the prince.

The servant brought Gongsun Wen into the study. This man looked to be in his fifties, eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, regular features, and dressed in Confucian clothes.

Xu Zhiqiong took a look with the pupil of crime karma, the crime karma on his head was one inch and three cents, and he had no cultivation.

Don't worry about it if you don't have a cultivation base, it's nothing more than someone who is good at talking.

Gongsun Wen saluted the prince, but the prince did not respond.

Gongsun Wen looked at Xu Zhiqiong: "I wonder if this young man is..."

The prince said: "This man is my best friend, and I will listen to your lecture today."

Gongsun Wen frowned; "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. I'm lecturing for the prince. Every word and sentence is the words of a wise man. How can a fool listen to it?"

Call me a fool?
Xu Zhiqiong's face darkened.

The prince also lost his face!
"I said before that this person is my close friend. You say he is a fool, but you are not contemptuous of me?"

Gongsun Wen said with a smile: "Your Highness is serious. I also think about this young man. The words of a wise man are beyond the comprehension of a fool. Listening here is also a torment. Why make things difficult for him?"

The prince said angrily: "But you are humiliating my friends!"

Xu Zhiqiong persuaded from the side: "Your Highness, calm down, you are a warrior with a humble job, and you came to the East Palace to serve as an errand under your majesty's order. After all, you are just a guard.

Gongsun Bandu said that I am a fool, which is not wrong, but because of the responsibility, I should be with His Highness all the time, even if there is suffering, the humble position can only bear it. "

The prince snorted coldly: "Forget it, don't talk anymore, just give lectures."

Gongsun Wen opened the book and began to give lectures: "What I have learned today is that the kindness of the king is better than the kindness of the relatives."

Xu Zhiqiong heard the words and opened the book. It turned out that this is a classic written by Gongsun Wen, called "Wisdom from the Heart". The grace of the king is far better than the nurturing grace of parents.

The prince flipped through it and sneered, "This is all nonsense!"

Gongsun Wen laughed and said, "Why did Your Highness say that?"

"If there is no parental upbringing, where does life come from? If you lose your life, how can you receive the king's kindness?"

Gongsun Wen corrected his expression and said: "According to the heart of a fool, life comes from parents, but according to the heart of a wise man, life comes from the king."

Xu Zhiqiong was surprised: "You were born by His Majesty?"

The prince also laughed: "So, I should call you elder brother!"

Gongsun Wen smiled lightly: "Your Highness, there is no need to sneer. A certain body of flesh and blood was given by his parents, but he was able to stand between heaven and earth, thanks to His Majesty's kindness.

A country cannot be without a king for a day. If the king is not there, the grand propaganda will not exist. If the grand propaganda does not exist, what will the thousands of people do for a living?

I can't say whether my fathers can live to adulthood, even if they live to adulthood and give birth to me, where will my clothes come from?Is there anyone who wants to be a weaver?Where is your residence?Can someone be willing to be a craftsman?Where does the diet come from?Is there anyone in this world who plows the fields?Where does the footpath come from?Anyone willing to build roads and bridges?
The way of a country is orderly, and it all depends on the king. If there is no king, we will have no clothes, eat and sleep in the open, drink blood like hair, and it is difficult to walk an inch. His muscles and bones are strong, but his life is not as good as that of animals!
Human beings depend on the king of a country who prospers and sleeps at night, subconsciously governs, and the people of the world can perform their duties, prosper their careers, and stand tall between heaven and earth. I can be a human being for a lifetime. Your Majesty bestows the kindness of a king far better than that of a relative, what objection does His Majesty have? "

The prince pursed his lips and was speechless for a long time.

Xu Zhiqiong didn't listen carefully to Gongsun Wen's words, but kept reading his book. This chapter is called Jun's Grace Is Better Than Parents' Grace, and the next chapter is called Jun's Grace Is Better than Heaven's Grace. The sovereign's kindness surpasses everything.

In Daxuan, especially among Confucian practitioners, such remarks are not uncommon, but such blatant ones as he said are the only ones.

No wonder the prince hates Gongsun Wen so much, his thinking is extremely different from that of the prince.

The crown prince shook his head repeatedly and said, "This is all fallacy, it's all fallacy!"

The prince thought this was a fallacy, proving that Xu Zhiqiong was right about him.

Gongsun Wen sighed and said: "Your Highness said this is a fallacy, and I asked Your Highness, what is righteousness?"

"The people are the most important, the country is the second, and the king is the least, this is the truth!"

Gongsun Wen shook his head and said with a smile: "This fool's theory is only for fools. How can your Highness believe it?"

The prince said angrily: "You say a wise man is a wise man? You say a fool is a fool? Why? Today I have to argue with you about right and wrong!"

Gongsun Wen nodded: "Your Highness wants to argue about right and wrong, and I will accompany you. Let me ask Your Highness first, what is right? What is wrong? Can Your Highness give some pointers?"

The theory of two hearts came out, Gongsun Wen opened the question, and he was provoking the prince.

The prince didn't hesitate, and accepted the move on the spot: "It's wrong to kill someone, can you still speak out wrong?"

Gongsun Wen laughed loudly: "Your Highness is arbitrary, according to the heart of a wise man, there is nothing wrong with killing!"

The prince said: "There is nothing wrong with it, just tell me!"

Gongsun Wendao: "According to the heart of a fool, it is wrong to kill someone. According to the heart of a wise man, what is wrong with killing a heinous thief? Not only is there no mistake, but it is meritorious!"

The prince said angrily: "Don't talk too much, I said killing innocent people is wrong!"

Gongsun Wen shook his folding fan and took a sip of tea: "This is still a fool's view. If a foreign enemy invades me, and the two armies are the masters, what is the crime? Is it wrong for our army to kill the enemy and make meritorious service? "

The prince gritted his teeth and turned to look at Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong lowered his head and said nothing.

Gongsun Wen lowered his face and said: "According to the heart of a wise man, there is nothing wrong with killing someone! If there is something wrong with killing someone, it is because of a fool! What else can your Highness say?"

The prince was silent.

Gongsun Wendao: "Your Highness, are you admitting defeat?"

"What if you lose?"

"I have something to say first, if Your Highness can argue against me, I will never come to the East Palace in the future. Your Highness lost today, and tomorrow I will go to Tianzhang Pavilion to listen to my lecture."

The prince hated: "I still want to listen to your lecture tomorrow?"

Gongsun Wen put away his folding fan and said, "Your Highness won't admit you lost?"

The prince was speechless again.

"Since I admit defeat, I will wait for His Highness in Tianzhang Pavilion tomorrow, but His Highness must not break the appointment."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Wen picked up "Wisdom from the Mind" and continued to give lectures.

One lecture lasted for two hours, the prince's veins bulged, and Xu Zhiqiong fell asleep.

After finally seeing off Gongsun Wen, Lin Qianniang came out from behind the screen and sighed softly: "This man is really good at eloquence!"

The prince got angry at Xu Zhiqiong: "Let's say you are my brother, why don't you help me out?"

Xu Zhiqiong shrugged his eyebrows: "But how do you get angry?"

"You can't argue with him, you can scold him a few words!"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said with a smile: "This man has a thick skin, scolding and scolding won't hurt him."

The prince looked frustrated: "Tomorrow I will go to Tianzhang Pavilion to be humiliated by him."

"He still dares to humiliate His Highness?"

The prince smiled wryly: "Why do you think he forced me to go to Tianzhang Pavilion? He gives lectures in Tianzhang Pavilion once a month. Princesses, princes, county kings, and princes are all present. He will definitely want to debate with me again. I don't know what to do by then." What a sneer he is!"

Xu Zhiqiong frowned: "Does this guy know how to live or die?"

"He naturally has his father's instruction behind him."

The prince let out a long sigh, unwilling to say more, Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, if he dares to humiliate His Highness tomorrow, I will definitely disgrace him and never dare to come to the East Palace again."

The prince was surprised: "Is this true?"

"really!"

Lin Qianniang said in a low voice: "His two-hearted theory has no flaws, Xu Lang can't take it upon himself."

Xu Zhiqiong said in Qianniang's ear: "Let me kiss the dimples enough, and tomorrow he will be completely bruised!"

Lin Qianniang lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment: "Dimples, but it's easy to say..."

Gongsunwen must be kept away from the prince, otherwise Daxuan will be doomed.

……

In the secret pavilion, Emperor Zhaoxing woke up with a very good complexion, and flipped through the book of understanding dreams.

Chen Shuncai asked someone to bring the Ruiming Pagoda, and Emperor Zhaoxing touched the top of the tower casually, and the Ruiming Pagoda lit up with three floors.

He has recovered to the seventh rank cultivation base.

Chen Shuncai was very happy and praised again and again: "Your Majesty is blessed, Sui Shilang is really a god-man."

Emperor Zhaoxing sneered: "What gods are you talking about? After all, they are only human beings, and all human beings are useful. After using it, they are still ordinary people. Pass on Gongsun Wenjin's advice."

Chen Shuncai ordered people to take down the Ruiming Pagoda, and asked people to lead Gongsun Wen into the secret pavilion.

Emperor Zhaoxing asked, "Have you met Xu Zhiqiong?"

"I have seen."

"How is he?"

"Stupid."

Emperor Zhaoxing shook his head: "This man is quite scheming, so don't be careless."

Gongsun Wen said with a smile: "Tomorrow, the minister will make him look stupid in his anger and embarrassment. The royal family's bad temper can be counted out. There should be justice for the grievances suffered by the royal family."
