Chapter 522 Debate
Wei Qing was wearing casual clothes, and Tang Li was also dressed simply. The two walked towards Qingfeng Pavilion hand in hand, like an ordinary couple.
It's just that the two of them are too good-looking and always attract the attention of passers-by.
When the two arrived outside Qingfeng Pavilion, they found that it was crowded with people, mostly students, but also ordinary people who came to watch the fun.
The students were clearly divided into two factions.
Wei Qing frowned. It was more lively than they had imagined.
There were so many people, I couldn’t even see anyone, let alone listen to the debate.
"Husband, come with me." Tang Li took Wei Qing's hand, walked around Qingfeng Pavilion, and came to the backyard.
Tangli knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open it.
"Miss."
An old man opened the door. He was very respectful to Tang Li and welcomed Tang Li and Wei Qing in.
The two followed the old man and went up the stairs at the back.
This is the internal passage of Qingfeng Pavilion, and it is empty.
Tang Li and Wei Qing were led up to the third floor and into one of the compartments.
"Miss, please sit down." The old man said respectfully.
Tang Li and Wei Qing sat down.
There is a gauze curtain hanging on the window of this compartment, which can block the view from outside, but you can see the scenery downstairs clearly, and the view is very good.
"The owner of Qingfeng Pavilion is Brother Bai." Tang Li said.
The Bai family's businesses are spread all over the capital. Sometimes when you go into a store, the owner might be Bai Muyang.
"This box was specially reserved for me by my brother. It's a private room."
Wei Qing nodded.
"Wife, I'm so lucky." Wei Qing said.
The old man came in again and brought tea and snacks to the two of them.
"Miss, if you need anything, just call me."
Tangli nodded: "Okay, get busy."
The old man retreated.
Tang Li's gaze fell on the box opposite, where two people were sitting. It could be vaguely seen that they were a man and a woman.
After a while, there was a sudden noise downstairs.
Tang Li looked downstairs and saw a young man squeezing through the crowd. It was Zhao Jingxuan.
Behind him followed two tall young men in white robes. They were Xu Jue and Wei Ziang.
The two teenagers sat down.
"There's still a quarter of an hour before the debate begins." Wei Qing looked at the time and said.
Wei Ziang arrived early as a sign of respect for his opponent.
Qin Zhao arrived on time.
Wei Zi stood up and bowed to Qin Zhao.
"Brother Qin, I..."
"You are Wei Ziang, I know you. That day, you waited at my door for an hour, saying that you wanted to ask me for advice." Qin Zhao said.
Qin Zhao just narrated the incident calmly, but when it was spoken out, it sounded a bit like a demonstration.
The students from other places were all a little proud.
The top student in the Imperial College also asked Qin Zhao for advice.
The students of the Imperial College looked at Qin Zhao indignantly.
What's the point of asking for advice? It's just asking for advice. They ask for advice all the time. What's there to say?
Besides, Wei Ziang might not be ashamed to ask questions!
snort!
Wei Ziang's expression remained unchanged, with a smile on his face: "Yes, I am Wei Ziang."
Qin Zhao returned the greeting: "Qin Zhao of Liangzhou."
The two people finished their greetings.
According to the usual rules, the debate topics are drawn by drawing.
"No need to smoke. I heard that it was your father who proposed the Liangzhou Canal. I was born in Liangzhou and am quite familiar with the matter. Why don't we discuss whether the construction of this canal will bring more benefits than disadvantages, or more disadvantages than benefits?" Qin Zhao said. "Brother Wei, what do you think of my proposal?"
Xu Jue frowned slightly.
Students pay attention to current affairs, so they naturally know about this matter and discuss it frequently on a daily basis.
However, Qin Zhao was from Liangzhou after all, so he had more knowledge and had the advantage.
Wei Ziang said gently, "Okay."
Qin Zhao was arrogant and asked Wei Ziang ten questions at the beginning.
He spoke very quickly, giving people an aggressive feeling.
Most people would be confused when asked this question.
There were several students before who were speechless at the beginning after being asked by Qin Zhao and were laughed at by students from other places.
Wei Ziang remained calm in the face of these questions. He pondered for a moment without panicking and then answered.
He spoke slowly and leisurely, and everyone could hear his voice clearly and forcefully.
It’s not as oppressive as listening to Qin Zhao speak. It’s very comfortable to listen to him speak.
No matter how oppressive Qin Zhao was, Wei Ziang responded calmly.
The questions Wei Ziang asked were also very clear and logical.
Qin Zhao's mind worked quickly and he replied one by one.
The two of them debated back and forth.
Many students were initially only concerned about winning or losing, but now they were listening intently.
Qin Zhao also showed a surprised expression.
Wei Ziang seemed to be beyond his imagination.
In the past, the longest debate with him lasted no longer than a cup of tea.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Wei Ziang showed no sign of weakness.
It seems he needs to be more serious.
The two of them fought back and forth, neither showing any weakness.
Until a gong sounded.
Everyone came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Qingfeng Pavilion has a rule that the debate time is limited to one hour. If the winner is still not determined, it is considered a draw.
This is... an hour has passed?
It's a draw?!
Qin Zhao's face flushed and his expression looked very ugly.
how so?
Wei Ziang is so eloquent!
Although it was a draw, it was a failure for him!
Wei Ziang's expression was still very gentle. He bowed to Qin Zhao and went out with Xu Jue.
Even though it was a draw, the students of the Imperial College were very excited.
Qin Zhao was too arrogant. It was so satisfying to see him blushing and looking like he was hit hard!
As expected, it’s Wei Ziang!
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue walked out of Qingfeng Pavilion together.
When Wei Ziang saw two familiar figures, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Dad, Mom!"
It was Wei Qing and Tang Li, who had already come down from the box upstairs.
Wei Ziang walked quickly up to the two of them.
"Dad, Mom, did you see the debate just now?" Wei Ziang asked.
Tangli nodded: "We are on the third floor."
Wei Qing hooked his arm around Wei Ziang's neck and praised him, "You are worthy of being my son."
Wei Ziang was praised, his face turned slightly red, and he felt a little proud.
It must be very happy to be praised by my parents.
"Stop talking. Your throat must hurt. Mom will go back and make you some throat-nourishing soup." Tang Li said.
Wei Ziang nodded obediently.
"What a pity it's a draw." Wei Ziang couldn't help but say.
Didn't win.
Moreover, if he continued, he was not sure whether he could win.
"Qin Zhao knows more about the canal. He set the topic for the debate, so he has the advantage," said Xu Jue.
"Yes, a debate doesn't mean much. The most important thing is that when the palace examination comes, you two, one with the top scorer and the other with the second place, will suppress him. Then he will be humiliated." Wei Qing said loudly.
Tangli hit Wei Qing on the arm.
She didn't want to put too much pressure on her two children.
Wei Qing chuckled twice and stopped talking.
