Lord Yuan

Chapter 44 Trap
"The five skills of controlling the people are extremely inferior. Except for the Qin State, whose arrogant Qin people can still do what Shang Jun said in the book, which country in the six kingdoms of Guandong has such magnanimity and does not treat the people as common people."

Yuan Shao himself was dissatisfied with such a series of policies to suppress the common people. In addition, he himself came from the red flag. This kind of policy almost made the common people work all day long. They only know how to work and work all their lives. In the end, what they get in exchange is offspring. Keep working.

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Tu couldn't bear it anymore. Hearing that this man was slandering Lord Shang with such a righteous attitude was extremely abominable.

As a representative figure of Legalism, Shang Jun has always been believed by families with Legalist ideas.

Guo Tu is still young now, not as cunning as a fox in middle age. How can he continue to sit still when the other party slanders him so much.

"Don't you know that Lord Shang's policy is not to fight with those who are not up to par with his policies?"

"If you rely on agriculture to support war, you will inevitably sacrifice the interests of some people to promote the advancement of this great country. What will happen to some civilians even if they die."

"What's more, this move not only greatly enhanced the strength of the former Qin Dynasty, but also improved the quality of the army. In addition, if the military merit title system promulgated by Lord Shang did not effectively create a prosperous road for the common people, how could it be achieved in a single step? Are you going to argue about Lord Shang's method?"

Guo Tu was confident, and during the conversation he had pushed Yuan Shao to his opposite side, a pedantic person who was only interested in immediate interests and did not compete for the future trend.

"If this were not the case, how could the former Qin be able to establish itself as one of the powerful countries, and then invade the six kingdoms of Guandong, sweeping the six kingdoms like a tiger descending from a mountain?"

"Such a character-making method turns out to be extremely inferior when it comes to your mouth. Don't you think that those who humiliate others will humiliate themselves?"

Guo Tu's momentum became more and more powerful, with the power of the majestic sea to submerge small rivers.

Yuan Shao was just like a small boat swaying left and right, not knowing what was going on.

Jing Gu looked distressed in the audience. If he hadn't been so determined to be strong, he would only have fame in hand, but he didn't know that success also means fame, and failure also means fame.

By acting like this, the overall situation has been lost, and Master Li's reputation will definitely be damaged by this arrogance.

Ugh.

Jing Gu couldn't help sighing.

Everyone was also amazed for a moment, Guo Gongze's remarks were flawless.

Each of them put themselves into it, and they were surprised to find that no words could match the eloquent words of Guo Gongze.

Xun Chen looked at the defeated Yuan Shao, and suddenly realized that even though he was almost in a state of defeat, he was still calm and composed, as if there was no one around, thinking about countermeasures with his brows.

"This person's popularity is extraordinary. Even if we fail today, we will not lose our future."

Guo Tu, who claimed to be the successor of law, was sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued at this time. He was no longer sick and disabled as before. In contrast, Yuan Shao, who was standing opposite, looked sick and speechless.

"Are you willing to admit defeat?"

Yuan Shao shook his head, "I have already been defeated but I don't know it."

Guo Tu looked startled, then laughed loudly and said: "Please stop talking nonsense. Now that your momentum has declined and you see defeat imminent, I'm afraid you don't want to admit victory or defeat."

Guo Tu let out a long sigh and pretended to be relaxed: "I don't want to admit defeat, and I don't want to force anything. I just hope that I will never be a student of Master Li in the future, so as not to disgrace Master Li's reputation."

Jing Gu in the audience was angry, staring at the two people on the stage.

One person had no idea why he had to confront the new guest.

Where is the other person.

Knowing that it was a losing battle but insisting on jumping in and swimming around, he not only lost face but also humiliated the Li family.

How can Master Li tolerate you if you act like this?

However, Yuan Shao smiled slightly and said calmly: "Since I said it's fair, I'll lose."

"What country is this evening based on?"

Guo Tu was stunned for a moment: "It goes without saying that this is the foundation of the Han Dynasty created by Emperor Gaozu." In an instant, Guo Tu came back to his senses and looked at Yuan Shao, who was smiling again and again. He suddenly felt that he had fallen into a trap and his tone gradually became lower.

"Since he knows the foundation of the Han Dynasty, why does Gongze boast about the prestige of the former Qin Dynasty so much? Could it be that Gongze still has the heart of the former Qin Dynasty and wants to do evil things?"

Yuan Shao said calmly, but many scholars present were instantly shocked when they heard the words.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, although the Han Dynasty has opened up a wide range of opinions and is not afraid of the clear opinions of scholars, the status of scholars has been increasing day by day. Even though they have experienced the disaster of the party, they still dominate the direction of public opinion in the Han Dynasty.

Under this premise, the objects of the purge will naturally be those eunuchs who are indignant among the people, and they will also be the corrupt officials who prey on the common people.

Now Guo Tu has repeatedly praised the system of the former Qin and the techniques of the Shang king. Isn't this the thorn in the side of the founding of the Han Dynasty?

The great ancestor Liu Bang promoted the rebel army, eliminated the atrocities, killed the white snake, and established the country based on the overthrow of the Qin Dynasty.

Guo Tu now admires the former Qin Dynasty, and one can imagine what the consequences will be.

To put it bluntly, Guo Tu was just debating legal science and touching on the foundation of the founding of the Han Dynasty, and he was just telling some truth.

To put it more seriously, Guo Tu had evil intentions and yearned for the former Qin Dynasty.

And whether this is big or small depends entirely on how those in power view it.

When he thought of this, Guo Tu suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He was horrified and inexplicable. From time to time, he thought of those terrifying conjectures. His lips turned white, his hands couldn't stop shaking, and there was an uncontrollable look of fear in his eyes.

Everyone found out that this was the result. Although it was not what they thought before, it was still satisfactory.

They did not want to get involved in the criticism with Na Guo Tu, discussing the former Qin Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, and excessively beautifying the crimes of the former Qin Dynasty.

For such a crime, it would not be a bad idea to hand him over to Tingwei Mansion. Although he would not lose his head, he would still have to suffer a few painful meals.

Then he looked at Yuan Shao, who was sitting tall and confident, and saw the calm expression between his brows.

A suspicion emerged.

Could it be possible that this person had already set up such a trap when Guo Tu proposed the debate about Lord Shang, and was waiting quietly like a prey for Guo Tu to jump into the trap prepared for him with a look of joy on his face.

If this is the case, no wonder he was waiting here to deliberately show weakness and overly weaken Shang Jun's remarks.

For a moment, everyone was frightened by it, and the depth of the conspiracy was no longer superficial.

I just don’t know how Guo Tu should make a decision.

This debate is not actually over.

However, if Guo Tu continued to praise Lord Shang like this, he didn't know where he would be caught.

Perhaps he was arrested by the Tingwei Mansion and immediately pronounced the sentence to be executed without waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to issue an edict?
"His Majesty wins."

Guo Tu said these words feebly, and instantly fell to the ground as if he was deflated.

His actions today will surely be spread in Yingchuan in the future. The old man's vigorous and resolute way of acting, knowing that he is so rebellious, why can't he take the initiative to be sent to the prison where he is obviously a court captain?
The thought of Guo Tu was even more painful.

Tingwei is in charge of the Guo family.

In the end, the Guo clan members will also be sent away.

No matter how you look at it, this is an outrageous thing.

Yuan Shao smiled and shook his head: "Not yet, I have something to say."
