At the beginning of the competition, on the opposite side, Mr. Zhou, a famous Confucian scholar in the northwest who was a little angry, spoke directly:

"Before the competition, I would like to ask Mr. Qin, if the ancient people want to be clear and virtuous in the world, they will rule the country first. The left minister governs the country, why do you say that he colluded with the forces of the rivers and lakes? Why don't you say that he is trying to influence ......"

Qin Ming snorted and interrupted: "Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families." Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies. Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts.

The incompetence of the Zuo Xiangqi family caused his son to defile the girl of the good family. He has no virtue, so he set fire to the crime. How can such people talk about governing the country? And people like you, who come with their mouths open, how can they talk about righteousness? ”

Mr. Northwest Zhou leaned back and swallowed.

Qin Ming sneered, calm!

Before he really started the competition, he blocked Mr. Zhou's words back, leaving him speechless, obviously, Qin Ming was slightly better.

Mr. Li in the north squinted his eyes, got up and said, "Mr. Qin is really clever and can distinguish words, so I will come up with a question and ask Mr. to answer it." ”

Qin Ming said: "Come out!" ”

"I will write the last sentence of the poem, and please make the next sentence neatly." After Mr. Li finished speaking, he closed his eyes and thought about it, and said:

"The wanderer is far away, wandering alone."

Qin Ming thought for a while: "Raise your head and look at the bright moon...... Bow your head and miss your hometown? ”

Mr. Li was surprised: "This ...... So fast...... It's so neat......"

Qin Ming smiled, thinking that it was good that Lao Tzu reacted quickly, and felt that he borrowed Li Bai's poem casually.

Mr. Li carefully tasted the second half of Qin Ming's sentence, which was much better than his first half.

So, he sighed with an ugly face and said, "I'm convinced, please ask Mr. Qin to solve the question!" ”

Below, all kinds of cheers rang out, and the people felt that Qin Ming was too powerful.

Many literati also nodded, thinking that Qin Ming's sentence was very good.

Qin Ming thought to himself that it would be too troublesome to think about the last sentence of his last poem, and it might not be a good poem, so Qin Ming borrowed another poem from Li Bai and said:

"Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars up to 90,000 miles. Mr. Li, please continue the next sentence! ”

Mr. Li's face changed, and he was directly shocked by Qin Ming's poem.

The momentum of this poem is very strong, as if Qin Ming himself is regarded as the great peng, going up the wind to the highest place.

Mr. Li thought about it, such a majestic poem, if he wants to make the next sentence now, to be honest, he really doesn't have that level.

However, if you give him time, it is not impossible to make a comparison with the next sentence of the previous sentence.

However, compared to Qin Ming's poem just now, he has already lost.

So, Mr. Li sighed: "I'm not as good as Mr. Qin, I'm willing to bow down." ”

Qin Ming sneered: "Mr. Li in the north, that's it!" ”

Mr. Li twisted his head away in shame, feeling ashamed.

Below, the cheers were even worse, and many literati tasted Qin Ming's poems and felt that they were very awesome.

At this moment, there are nearly 10,000 onlookers, and everyone is idle and idle when the winter is approaching the New Year, and they all come to join in the fun.

The people in the imperial capital are basically supporters of Qin Ming.

At this moment, Qin Ming won a round, and everyone was naturally very happy.

Seeing that Qin Ming was in the limelight, the faces of the four Confucian scholars were not good-looking.

So Mr. Zhao, a Confucian scholar in the east, got up, saluted, and said, "Below, how about a debate with Mr. Qin?" ”

"Debate?" This thing is advanced, but to put it bluntly, it's just to see who makes sense and who can pull it. In other words, it's like a bar, and it's up to you to see who lifts the bar.

Qin Ming thought to himself that he was raising the bar and talking nonsense, which was at the master level.

So he spoke: "Come on, whole, who's afraid of whom!" ”

Mr. Zhao coughed and said, "Since this is the case, I will ask a question: white horses are not horses!" ”

Qin Ming smiled: "Then I argue: a white horse is a horse!" ”

Mr. Zhao also laughed, he was the best at sophistry, so he said, "How can a white horse be a horse?" White horses are characterized by being white, while horses are also gray, brown, and black.

If a white horse is a horse, then a white horse is equal to a horse. That horse also has a gray horse, and there is also a black horse, so the horse is equal to the gray horse? Equal to a dark horse? Don't you just say that a white horse is a dark horse? It doesn't make sense, so white horses are not horses. ”

Qin Ming spoke: "A white horse is a horse, but a white horse is not equal to all horses, and horses, including white horses." White is the characteristic of all horses, and one cannot negate a species because of one characteristic.

For example, your father is human, but not everyone is your father. Your father's identity is his characteristic, and his kind is still human. So you can't deny that your father is a human being, and you can't say that a white horse is not a horse. Unless, your dad is not human! ”

Qin Ming said, smiling calmly.

After Mr. Zhao listened, he was stunned.

For example, he has not encountered it, but he can also sophistry when he encounters it.

But he never expected that Qin Ming would confuse the debate between his father and the white horse.

How does this make him argue next? If you continue to say that the white horse is not a horse, it is not the same as admitting that his father is not a human?

This made Mr. Zhao's old face red, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't get out of Qin Ming's logic.

And if you think about it carefully, what Qin Ming said just now, how did it feel like he was scolding? Scolding him Mr. Zhao's father?

So he opened his mouth and said to the Ministry of Rites: "I protest, he scolds, what do you mean: For example, my father is a human? My dad was originally human. ”

Qin Ming got up and said, "Since your father is a human, then the white horse is a horse, there is nothing wrong!" ”

Mr. Zhao's face changed, and he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at Qin Ming and thought to himself that this Qin Ming's mouth was ...... It's awesome.

Then the Ministry of Rites Shangshu spoke: "In this round of rebuttal, Marquis Qin won, and the white horse is a horse!" ”

Mr. Zhao's body shook, and he sat on the chair, and the whole person was decadent all of a sudden.

Qin Ming sneered: "Mr. Zhao, the master of rebuttal, but so, remember, a white horse is a horse, and your father is a human, don't forget!" ”

"Hahahaha......"

Everyone below laughed, Qin Ming's words were simply embarrassing for Mr. Zhao.

At this moment, Mr. Liu took a deep breath and said:

"Mr. Qin is really powerful, now, in the next question, it is an arithmetic question, do you dare to answer it?"

When he said this, Mr. Liu was very proud, he was very good at math problems, and he was very good at studying a piece, so he always called himself an arithmetic.

Therefore, he is confident that no matter how powerful Qin Ming is in terms of literary talent, he is definitely not his opponent in terms of arithmetic.

It's just that Qin Ming didn't think so, as soon as he heard the arithmetic, he smiled and said:

"Okay, I like arithmetic, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, you can come casually."

Mr. Liu was stunned, and then confidently asked: "Today, there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage, with thirty-five heads on one and ninety-four feet on the bottom. Q, what are the chickens and rabbits?"

Qin Ming's eyes widened when he heard this, and he thought to himself, this question ...... It's so familiar, it's actually a math problem in the sixth grade of elementary school? That's amazing!
