Chapter 173: The gathering of geniuses and talented people, the debate on loyalty and goodness in the Exiled Immortal Pavilion (Part 2)



As the absolute protagonist of today, whenever Jia Shao made a move, he would attract countless eyes.

Hope flashed in people's eyes.

perhaps--

Can we wait for a miracle of a comeback?

Even He Xu, Su Qi, Meng Shen and Zhou Feiran were staring at Jia Shao closely and secretly worried for him.

Brother, at this critical moment, you have to stand up.

But don't overturn the car!

In response, Cui Xian said: Overturned? Not happening!

What was the purpose of studying hard and absorbing the books of sages in Nanyang for five years?

Isn't it for occasions like today?

The general cannot be killed, but the soldiers must live.

Sages, sages, if you cannot save lives, how can you be called a sage!

therefore.

Under the gaze of countless surprised eyes.

Then, in the Exiled Immortal Pavilion, Jia Shao, dressed in green and with a straight back, smiled brightly and said in a clear voice: "The Book of Shangshu, Zhongkui's Proclamation, says: Be lenient and benevolent, and show your trust to the people."

"The Zuo Zhuan, Duke Xi's 27th Year, records: Rewarding with generosity, rescuing the needy, gaining power, and establishing hegemony."

"The Book of Shang Yang: Changing the Laws says: There is no one way to govern the world, and to benefit a country is not to follow the old ways."

"The Strategies of the Warring States: Zhao Ce II states: It is not wrong to go against the past, but it is not enough to follow the rites."

"You all talk about 'killing the defeated generals' in vain, but have you ever seen that Tang of Shang released Yi Yin and revived the Shang Dynasty, or that Qi Huan pardoned Guan Zhong and became the hegemon of the princes? The more you change the past, the more it will benefit the people. If everything is stuck in the past, how can there be three dynasties?"

This is a rebuttal to Su Qi's "Debate on Ancient and Modern Times".

In this rebuttal, Jia Shao obviously gave his all and left no way out for his opponent.

For just one point of view, he cited four books of sages as supporting evidence!

No loopholes left at all.

His words also amazed and impressed countless scholars present.

How knowledgeable and erudite one must be to be able to achieve this in such a short period of time!

Amidst countless exclamations.

Only Old Cui picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote frantically, while shouting loudly in his heart: "Dead hand, write faster!"

The words "good grandson" are worth a thousand gold.

Not only can it be published in the official newspaper and sold for money.

After today, when the news spreads from Luoyang, it will surely shake the whole world!

In the Exiled Immortal Pavilion, Su Qi was silent.

While he was happy about his good friend's perfect performance, he was once again puzzled as to how there could be someone more perverted than him, Su Qi!

Since Qi was born, why was Shao born?

This is unreasonable!

Although he felt mixed emotions, Su Qi still calmly bowed to Jia Shao and said, "I admit defeat."

Cui Xian bowed and gave a gesture of thanks: "Thank you."

There was silence for a moment in Jingu Garden.

Then there was a thunderous cheer.

All the discomfort and boredom just now were swept away in an instant.

Jia Shao brought miracles to everyone!

Yan Siyuan and a group of other black fans turned red in the face, screamed loudly, and almost broke their hands!

As they applauded and cheered, they did not forget to show off to the people around them: "See, Senior Brother Jia Shao is awesome, right? He is the leader of our anti-Xian alliance!"

Amidst cheers.

Jia Shao barely paused as he continued, "The Book of Documents says: 'Heaven sees as the people see, Heaven hears as the people hear.'"

"The Book of Changes says: 'Those who are flexible are those who follow the times.'"

"Guan Zi: Mu Min says: The success of a government lies in following the will of the people."

"Zuo Zhuan: The First Year of Duke Zhao says: The most important affairs of a country are sacrifice and war."

"You are so obsessed with the distinction between body and function. Have you ever seen Duke Xiang of Song being defeated by Chu because of his obsession with etiquette? Wu Zi Tu Guo says: cultivate civil virtues internally and manage military preparations externally. Now that we have spared the general's life, we have cultivated both civil virtues and military preparations!"

"You said that the law of the country is the basis. But if the law cannot protect the country, what is the use of the law? Do you want Daliang to repeat the mistakes of Duke Xiang of Song who defeated Chu?"

This is a refutation of He Xu's "debate on substance and function".

Frankly speaking, He Xu was worried that Jia Shao might have an accident.

But now I realize that my worries were totally unnecessary.

He stared at Jia Shao, who was quoting from classics and making speeches at will, and was completely impressed. He bowed solemnly and said, "Senior Brother Jia Shao is a great talent."

Jia Shao also gave a return gift.

Now, it wasn’t just Jinguyuan who was cheering.

More and more people gathered outside. Although they didn't understand what was said, they roughly knew that the talented man named Jia Shao had won!

If he wins, it means General Xiao Zhen has a chance to survive!

From despair just now to full of hope now, how can this not be a miracle?

What a miracle a young scholar brought to the people and the soldiers fighting against the Japanese invaders!

After returning the gift with He Xu, Cui Xian looked at Zhou Feiran and said aloud: "The Zuo Zhuan, Dinggong Ten Years, records: The descendants do not plot against the Xia, and the barbarians do not disturb the Hua."

"The Art of War says: 'Throw it into a desperate situation and then it will survive.'"

"In Mozi's Universal Love, it is said: Treat other people's countries as if they were your own."

"Lüshi Chunqiu·Chajin says: Times change, it is time to reform."

"You all talk about defending against the barbarians, but if you execute the generals who protect the country and let the thieves who collaborate with the enemy go, then what are you 'defending' against are the barbarians, or are you defending against the hearts of the people?!"

Good job!

It can be seen that Jia Shao is really crazy about killing.

After quoting from classics and adding the question of "guarding against the people's hearts", it is really thought-provoking.

Who dares to answer this?

Zhou Feiran shrank his neck, and without thinking, he immediately bowed his hands and made a gesture of listening humbly: "Thank you for your advice."

Brother, we are one family!

Don't kill me too!

Cui Xian bowed in return as usual.

Outside the Exiled Immortal Pavilion, the cheers were almost enough to shake the sea of ​​peony flowers!
