Chapter 50: Whatever, I'll Do It

"Ahem...... Student Feng, pay attention to your tone, let's discuss the problem, although you have always been very reasonable, there is no need to be so aggressive. Although Professor Gu supported Feng Jianxiong's point of view, he didn't want him to be rude, so he couldn't help but remind him.

"I'm sorry, Professor Gu, just now I was momentarily indignant and eager to seek justice, so my tone was a little more eager. Feng Jianxiong explained without humility or arrogance, then turned to Fu Chengcai and said,

"According to your logic, you meet a righteous man and do a righteous act, and then you go up and praise: 'Oh, you are so moral, you are a model of moral inspiration!' Then he must thank you? Ridiculous! Believe it or not, some people will slap you to death!"

When Feng Jianxiong said this, he restrained himself a little, and asked Professor Gu: "Professor, I really want to prove this point, I need to tell a story, it may be a bit long, if you don't think I'm verbose, then I'll prove it." ”

"Please. Professor Gu was also interested.

"Okay," Feng Jianxiong cleared his throat and said eloquently, "let's assume that Fu Chengcai has successfully traveled back to Germany 500 years ago—ah no, it should be the Holy Roman Empire."

On that day, a foreign merchant named Fernando, who had been doing business in the Champagne market in Flanders all year round, passed by the Cathedral of Mainz to confess to the young bishop.

He took out a dozen indulgences that he had just bought from Archbishop von Brandenburg, who was in charge of the entire diocese of the HRE Empire, and said to Bishop Martin Luther: I have often engaged in business fraud, usury, and ruined people, and I have been disturbed. So I bought indulgences, but I'm still upset, so comfort me......"

When Feng Jianxiong's example was mentioned here, Professor Gu couldn't help but smile slightly, and it seemed that he had a tacit understanding.

He didn't study history, but he knew the story very well.

Because he usually likes to take Milton's "On the Freedom of the Press" to let students write essays and feel after reading. Milton's "On the Freedom of the Press" was born in 1644, during the Thirty Years' War (1618~1648).

The essence of the Thirty Years' War was a war of rupture between Protestantism and the Catholic Bishops. After the war, all the German states had to take sides in favor of one or the other.

And the right to "freedom of the press" is the product of the victory of Protestantism. The origin of Protestantism was the Martin Luther Reformation of 1517.

Therefore, Feng Jianxiong's example really scratched Professor Gu's itch, and there was a burst of resonance. Even if he doesn't study history, it's impossible not to learn this history.

I only heard Feng Jianxiong continue to speak:

Martin Luther must have asked Fernando: Have you truly repented? Will you continue to lend usury in the future, and continue to make people ruined by forcing debts to get rich?

Fernando thought about it for a while, and said: "The loan shark must still be released!" But the next time I commit a crime of business fraud, I will pay another 30 florin to buy a indulgence!

Martin Luther, of course, will let him go.

Fernando would point to the other party's nose and scold: Lao Tzu bought the indulgence from your boss, Archbishop von Brandenburg, the regional sales director! Lao Tzu came to you today not to beg you, but to find your after-sales service!

Then Martin Luther quit his job, went back and wrote the "95 Point Compendium", nailed it to the door of Mainz Cathedral, and begged Archbishop von Brandenburg to spray war, oh not polemic, and thus free millions of people from the indulgence of deception, and the merit is immeasurable—"

When Feng Jianxiong said this, he turned to Fu Chengcai appropriately, and then speculated in a questioning tone: "Presumably, if Senior Fu traveled back to 500 years ago and saw this scene with his own eyes and up close, he would definitely go up and compliment Mr. Martin Luther: Mr. Luther, you are really a noble person, dare to expose ugliness and promote righteous deeds—isn't that so?"

Fu Chengcai didn't grasp the point of the story at all, and his eyes rolled blindly for a long time: "This ...... What's wrong with that?"

"That's a shame—because that's what has already been said to Mr. Martin Luther in history. If you do the same, you will probably be slapped in the face by Mr. Luther and then salute you in return: MMP! I have been inspired by God! Everyone who is pious can spontaneously feel the will of the Lord from the heart, and there is no need to pretend to be rotten!

All the decisions I made today are because I feel the projection of the apocalypse, and you insult me and say that I did it based on human virtue?

The biggest difference between the Protestant ethic and the Catholic Episcopal in the reception of divine revelation is that the former believes that divine revelation can be felt spontaneously by the pious, while the latter believes that you must be "enlightened" (to use this term for the time being) through the Church.

With Martin Luther's temperament, he would have done so in such a situation.

Although Feng Jianxiong's storytelling method is very funny and casual, the topic effect is surprisingly good on the occasion of only a few people.

In particular, Professor Gu accepted 100% that "morality is not higher than faith." Anyway, as long as you do righteous deeds, as long as you want to do righteous deeds in your heart, there is no superiority or inferiority based on specific motives."

Many people do good deeds because of their beliefs, and if you say that they do good deeds because of morality, people may be anxious with you.

Fu Chengcai's last attack on Feng Jianxiong's character was also killed by Feng Jianxiong.

However, how could Feng Jianxiong easily let go of this water dog.

Any provocateur who takes the initiative must be deterred by a heavy hand.

"You don't have anything to say? Okay, then I'll say a couple of words -- what's the occasion that day? It's a debate. The point of view of the debate competition is determined by drawing lots from both sides, not by me, or even by myself. This is an occasion to exercise eloquence and critical thinking, and how sensitive do you have to be to be politically correct?

If I had been asked to draw the argument of the opposing side at that time, 'Food and clothing are not a necessary condition for talking about morality,' and believe it or not, I would have been able to win? If I tried to make one side win, would it have anything to do with my own views and political tendencies? No matter what question I was drawn, for the sake of competitive spirit, I should have exhausted all legal means to win, is this wrong, and can it still be linked to character? According to your logic, the lawyer is sympathizing with the criminal by exonerating the suspect?"

"Please don't brag about bulls that have nothing to do with the interview!"

Seeing that Fu Chengcai was sprayed speechless by Feng Jianxiong, his face was red, white, and blue. A low female voice reminded him appropriately, interrupting Feng Jianxiong's pursuit.

Feng Jianxiong looked up, but it was Wang Yan, the female judge who was at the bottom of the list today.

"Where did I offend this woman? It seems that Fu Chengcai attacked me, and this guy provoked it, right?" Feng Jianxiong thought quickly.

Although Wang Yan was one of the three judges, the other party's indiscriminate targeting of him also aroused Feng Jianxiong's arrogance.

He stared at the other party proudly and said ironcladly, "I'm just stating the facts, not bragging." ”

Anyway, he could see that Director Dai and Professor Gu appreciated his eloquence and learning, not to mention that this was just an opportunity to host the school station, and it was not a pity to lose it.

If he wants to compromise for this little profit, it is never worth it.

It's not that Feng Jianxiong is not bent and stretched enough, but this bargaining chip is not worthy - if someone takes hundreds of millions to buy Feng Jianxiong and shut up for a while, he can consider it.

"You're not bragging? So you mean that you are very confident and firmly believe that you can win the debate?" Wang Yan, as a judge, was scolded by Feng Jianxiong like this, and she was also a little annoyed and angry.

When following her mentor, Wang Yan has always been more cautious, but thinking of Weng Dechen's promise, she took the risk to slander and persuade Professor Gu in her ear:

"Professor, I think it's okay, anyway, the scheduled interview time slot is not over yet, if you and Director Dai are not very busy, just listen to Feng Jianxiong and Fu Chengcai exchange debate questions, and then have a confrontation on the spot.

In this way, it is easy to confirm whether this Feng Jianxiong said those sensitive words in the debate tournament because of his professional ethics, or whether his own political tendencies are inherently discordant?"

Professor Gu pondered and said: "The more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes, and this kind of collision of ideas is still worth encouraging. But isn't that a bit sloppy? And it's not necessarily fair. What do you think, Director Dai?"

After letting a debater beat the opponent to the ground with a positive side, the opponent will obviously master all the dominant points and debating skills of his side. At this time, the two sides exchange positions, and the difficulty is not ordinary.

It is equivalent to saying that all the tricks that the winning side has come up with with all the wisdom before will be used by the opponent.

That's just like a martial arts master competing with Gusu Murong, and the other party's fight is shifting, "the higher your martial arts, the worse your death will be."

Of course, this does not mean that the right side of such a debate will not be able to win.

For example, once the difference in the number of strength segments between the two sides is too great, the positive side left his hand for the first time and killed the opponent in seconds with only three successes.

At this time, even if the opponent "turns the stars" back with these three successes, let's use the seven successes to play the second round, it is still possible to win.

However, this means that the gap in strength between the two sides is big enough, almost as big as the gap between the East Evil and the West Madness and the Jiangnan Seven Monsters.

Professor Gu naturally felt that there was some injustice.

"I'm not busy anyway. Director Dai smiled and was kind to others.

Wang Yan got the Shang Fang Sword, so he officially drew the line: "Feng Jianxiong, do you dare to accept this test?"

Feng Jianxiong smiled proudly: "Hehe, is this debate topic? I can change it, I can't ask for it-I won't tell you that the people from the Academy of Mathematical Sciences are not worthy of me to use all my strength at all." If I beat them, that is Yang Guo killed Ke Zhen in seconds. ”

Wang Yan's heart suddenly burst out, and she said that it was indeed a little inappropriate.

After all, Fu Chengcai has not prepared this debate very carefully. Or after he leaked the question two days ago and hinted that the other party blocked Feng Jianxiong, he temporarily crammed.

And Feng Jianxiong must have been very obscene in that debate at the beginning, maybe he really left a back hand of the awesome.

Of course, she didn't know that Feng Jianxiong didn't prepare anything at the beginning, and was completely reborn temporarily before the game.

"Well, we don't take advantage of you either, so let's extend it a little bit and change the topic of debate. Wang Yan hesitated for a while, and tried not to change the topic without any traces.

In order to abolish Feng Jianxiong's possible preparations in advance.

However, in front of Professor Gu, Wang Yan can't be too blatant and brazen. Although it is necessary to change the topic, it should be more natural, try to appear to be derived from the original topic, and not make it up out of thin air, it is best to let Professor Gu also feel that this topic is appropriate and nod himself - otherwise, Professor Gu may suspect that this debate topic was colluded by Wang Yan and Fu Chengcai in advance.

"Whatever you want. Feng Jianxiong looked fearless.
