Chapter 280: Going to win Qin Ye?
Qin Ye drank some water and whispered, "He helped you and me before. He is our benefactor. I have no grievances against him."
What's more, Zong Jincheng helped him again today.
In fact, Qin Ye was already thinking in his heart: Should I give in to him and let this crazy boy win just once?
However, would the other party want to let the other party win?
Qin Shi chuckled and said, "I knew you would think the same, but Jin Cheng doesn't seem to think so. Maybe you had a bad attitude before, so he had a bad impression of you and always wanted to defeat you."
If it were the Qin Ye of the past, he would have replied proudly: The first place is mine, he can't beat me.
But now, Qin Ye said: "He still has someone to chase after."
The opposing team, the little devil is still drinking water like crazy.
He Zheng was massaging his shoulders, Shen Yibai and Wei Xinglu were massaging his legs, Zong Wenxiu didn't know where to put his strength, and Xu Wan rolled her eyes to the sky.
This guy, it's just a debate, but he's acting like a boxing champion, even pinching shoulders and beating legs...
The little devil closed his eyes and began to brainwash himself.
Stay calm, stay calm. Don't panic just because your opponent is Qin Ye. No matter how strong the enemy is, he is just a debater. As long as it is in the field of debate, Zong Jincheng will not lose.
The bastard Qin Ye, not only did he not accept the trick, he also took his defense as his own and used his opponent's strength to his advantage. He really deserves to be the one who made the entire Hanlin North Courtyard so angry.
Damn it, damn it, but I’m the future top scholar, I must be able to think of a way to crack it!
The little devil closed his eyes and thought, emptying his mind and letting his brain rest for a short while before he let his thoughts run wild and entered into the debate again.
This time, he wanted to find his own way of thinking, to strengthen his own arguments, and to decide not to let Qin Ye use his strength against him again... Hmm? Use Qin Ye's strength against him?
Then can I use Qin Ye's strength to beat Qin Ye?
The little devil suddenly got enlightened. He looked across and saw Qin Ye drinking water without even a frown. This cold and arrogant boy, don't even think about winning so easily!
"The break is over, the game continues, please speak for the opposing side."
Zong Jincheng said in a deep voice: "What I said before is right, there is no need to repeat it, don't try to fool me. When treacherous ministers are in power, even the people in power will be timid in doing things. How can it be as simple as you say? Don't you know that there have been so many cases of imperial power being hollowed out in history? Qin Ye, you underestimate the court too much. When you don't take treacherous ministers seriously, you don't even know how you died, and you still want to reform? I'm afraid that in the end you will end up like Chao Cuo, whose reforms caused chaos in the Seven Kingdoms and was personally ordered to be executed by the people in power."
Qin Ye wanted to laugh again.
He felt that Zong Jincheng's policy essay level should not be so far away from his test scores. How bad is this crazy boy's poetry?
Zong Jincheng continued, "I still firmly choose to give up the mission. If the treacherous ministers are not removed, and we are attacked from all sides, the possibility of success of the reform is too small. As for the greed and fear of death that you ridicule, I think that is called judging the situation. Since the person in power can take a fancy to you and let you reform, it proves that you are a very important talent in his heart. You should accept the mission at the best time, not right now, otherwise do you think that you will only lose your life? Your death will strangle the only hope of the person in power and burn the last life-saving food of the people."
Everyone present was deeply shocked by the little devil's speech. Everyone in the key class felt that the big brother seemed to have become stronger again, and was almost not on the same level as them.
Qin Shi, who didn't know Zong Jincheng's achievements, was extremely surprised. He even thought that Zong Jincheng's policy writing skills were better than his brother's. But why couldn't he catch up with Xiaoye?
Qin Ye didn't speak for a long time. He was thinking about what Zong Jincheng said.
Being in a different position, he looks at different problems. He has always been thinking about problems from the perspective of a reformer, and is determined to do so no matter how difficult it is. However, Zong Jincheng seems to be in a different position.
Is he standing in the position of the people, or... in the position of those in power?
Qin Ye asked back: "As you said, treacherous ministers cannot be killed at will, so what other methods are there to deal with it? If treacherous ministers are not dealt with, do we have to wait until we die of old age or until the dynasty is doomed, and still not choose to accept change?"
"Of course not! There is another way to deal with treacherous officials..." The little devil wanted to say it subconsciously, but the words were suddenly stuck in his throat halfway through.
That method was taught to him by His Highness.
He said that if countless methods were used and none of them worked, then the only option left was assassination.
Let them die in accidents, at the hands of their enemies, or by committing suicide out of fear of punishment, in places where they will not be suspected by the court.
"What is it?" Qin Ye asked.
"Yes..." The little devil clenched his fingers, and the sweat on his palms became more and more.
If he said it out loud, as long as he said it out loud, his argument would be valid, his logic would be impeccable, and he would be able to defeat Qin Ye.
However, His Highness said that this was a secret between the two of them and must not be told to anyone else.
Absolutely not.
But……
Zong Jincheng raised his head and looked at Qin Ye. The arrogant and domineering guy opposite him was his opponent whom he had been chasing for two years, from the eight-year-old class to the children's class, from the children's class to the children's class, and from the children's class to the imperial examination class. Now they could appear on the imperial examination list at the same time. Qin Ye finally stopped ignoring him. Qin Ye finally challenged him. Qin Ye was finally going to lose to him.
But……
Your Highness, Your Highness was so good to him. He came all the way every month to teach him even though he was not in good health. Your Highness also took him to the Dali Temple for trial, took him to listen to the three-division meeting to try Zhai Li, took him to see the account books of the Ministry of Revenue, and the promotion records of the Ministry of Personnel. Your Highness treated him better than his own child.
"What is it?" Qin Ye asked again.
The young boys around were also very excited. Everyone could see that Zong Jincheng was about to win. As long as he could say it, as long as it was reasonable, he could beat Qin Ye.
The whole world suddenly became quiet, and Zong Jincheng could only hear everyone's voice in slow motion and then amplified.
He Zheng shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brother, hurry up and tell me, you are going to defeat Qin Ye soon! You are the opposing party, and you actually defeated Qin Ye with your identity as the opposing party!"
Shen Yibai was also shouting: "That's the number one in the whole capital! Jin Cheng, if you beat him, you will be a genius who surpasses Qin Ye, and you will be famous throughout the capital."
Wei Xinglu was also howling wildly: "If we beat him, beat him, if we beat Qin Ye, we can brag about it. The four little dandies have never been nameless people. We are the four great talents, the most powerful people in the whole capital!"
Zong Wenxiu also whispered: "Tell me, brother, I want to know the answer too."
