Chapter 36: The Sophistry of Famous Scholars

"Hahaha......" Yue'er smiled and held her stomach.

Yue'er was very happy at this time, "I was able to make this Zhaoguo princess angry just now, I really admire myself more and more!" ”

"Don't underestimate her, she is a well-known person in the Seven Kingdoms who is good at sophistry, remember that five years ago, this princess of the Zhaoguo Kingdom once defeated the debaters of several countries present at the time with her sophistry skills, this matter can be regarded as a sensational talk at that time!" Qin Yu said as if his thoughts had drifted to the debate competition five years ago.

"I didn't expect this fat girl to be so powerful!" Yue'er looked at Qin Yu in surprise, "Then can you tell me about this fat princess?" And how did you know each other before? ”

"Actually, we don't know each other, but we met once when the Four Nations Alliance was in the past." Qin Yu said lightly.

"Then why is she so impressed with you?" Yue'er looked at Qin Yu, she felt that this matter was definitely not that simple.

"It had to start five years ago!" Qin Yu began to talk to Yue'er about the incident of Princess Zhaoguo's defense five years ago.

Five years ago, the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, the Western Zhou Kingdom, the Northern Dynasty State and the Zhao Kingdom were all allies, and each of the four countries sent envoys to the Wenyuan of the Zhao State to discuss the matter of cooperation.

Of course, some of our four countries were also troubled by the invasion of the Southern Xinjiang State, so at that time, in order to jointly resist the invasion of the Southern Xinjiang State, these four countries sent envoys separately and agreed to discuss the joint affairs in the Wenyuan of the Zhao Kingdom.

However, the envoys of the other three countries were quite dissatisfied with the location of the alliance in Zhaoguo, so in the conversation, the envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty mocked and said that Zhaoguo had no talents.

The matter of the contemplation should be dominated by the envoy of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but at that time, the envoy of the Zhaoguo Kingdom was speechless.

At this time, Princess Zhaoguo came out. As soon as she appeared, she covered half of her face with a scarf, and she also held a fan in her hand to cover it.

Princess Zhaoguo was sitting next to the envoy of Zhaoguo at that time, when she heard that the envoy of the Western Zhou Dynasty intended to embarrass the envoy of Zhaoguo.

She immediately stood up and said, "I heard that the people who are fortunate enough to come here today to discuss great things together are the most eloquent people in all countries, I wonder if today's little girl will have the honor to learn from all the adults!" ”

"Oh? You are? It was only at this time that the envoy of the Western Zhou Kingdom began to notice that there was a woman among the people present.

"I am Qinglian, the princess of Zhaoguo!" Princess Qinglian covered half of her face with a fan.

"I don't know what the princess of Zhaoguo has to teach today?" The envoy of the Western Zhou Kingdom asked straight to the point.

"I can't talk about teaching, Mr. Gangxia said that there are no talents in Zhaoguo, I think since Mr. is so good at speaking, can you let the little girl lead the lesson! If you can win me in the debate today, I will admit that Zhaoguo really has no talent, if you can't beat me in the debate, then please apologize to Zhaoguo for what he just said, how about it? Princess Qinglian of the Zhaoguo Kingdom was dissatisfied with the self-righteous posture of the envoy of the Western Zhou Kingdom.

"Good! I want to see what Princess Zhaoguo is capable of? The envoy of the Western Zhou Kingdom showed an arrogant posture that did not take the princess of Zhaoguo in his eyes at all.

So the debate tournament began, and the first one was Zizhong, the envoy of the Western Zhou Kingdom, VS Qinglian, the princess of Zhaoguo.

Guozizhong of the Western Zhou Dynasty: Princess, please ask.

Princess Zhaoguo: Excuse me, sir, do you know the fish in the water?

Guozizhong of the Western Zhou Dynasty: Of course I know.

Princess Zhaoguo: Do you know if the fish in the water are happy or unhappy?

Western Zhou Guozizhong: Uh...... Does the princess know about the happiness of fish?

Princess Zhaoguo: Of course......

Western Zhou Guozizhong: Is that happy or unhappy?

Princess Zhaoguo: Of course it's happy.

Guozizhong of the Western Zhou Dynasty: The princess is just joking, the princess is not a fish, how can she know the happiness of this fish?

Princess Zhaoguo: Oh? Isn't it impossible to know the happiness of fish if it weren't for the fish?

Guozizhong of the Western Zhou Dynasty: That's nature. Isn't it absurd to say that the princess is not a fish, but she knows the happiness of a fish?

Princess Zhaoguo: Really ridiculous?

Western Zhou Guozizhong: Of course!

Princess Zhaoguo: What is it that Mr. Zhaoguo is not me, but he asserts that I don't know the happiness of fish?

Western Zhou Guozizhong: This ...... This one......

In this first debate, Zizhong, the envoy of the Western Zhou Kingdom, lost and was speechless, but he was still unwilling, so he instigated the two envoys from other countries present to compete with the princess of Zhaoguo.

The second match is Ziqing, the envoy of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, VS Qinglian, the princess of Zhaoguo

Ziqing was gentle and elegant, and he sat opposite Princess Zhaoguo, "Please ask the princess to ask questions?" ”

Princess Zhaoguo was domineering at this time because she won the first debate, and said: "Sir, you have to show real skills, don't show mercy when the other party is a beautiful woman." ”

Ziqing: "Then I'm welcome!" Princess, please! ”

Princess Zhaoguo: "Please move outside the door, sir." ”

So everyone walked outside the door, and at this time, Princess Zhaoguo pointed to a jade ornament outside the door and asked Ziqing: "May I ask sir, can this piece of jade be said to be white and hard?" ”

Ziqing: "Of course you can. ”

Princess Zhaoguo: "Wrong! Everyone just saw this piece of jade, so how can it be said that it is white and hard? ”

Ziqing: "But in fact, this jade is indeed white and hard. ”

Princess Zhaoguo: "Then please touch this piece of jade with your hand?" Is it hard to touch? ”

Ziqing touched the jade with his hand and said, "Of course this jade is hard. ”

Princess Zhaoguo: "That's right, Mr. touched the hardness of the jade just now, so can I ask if Mr. can touch the white color of the jade when he touched this piece of jade just now?" ”

Ziqing: "Of course it can't!" The color of jade can only be discerned by looking at it. ”

Princess Zhaoguo: "That's right, just now I asked my husband to see this piece of jade, but you said that you could see the white and strong of the jade." In fact, when you see this piece of jade, you can only say that you see a white jade, but you can't say that you see a white and hard jade. This truth is like you just admitted to yourself, when you touch jade, you can only say that you touch the firmness of the jade, but you can't say that you can know the whiteness of the jade by touching. ”

Ziqing: "......" was refuted speechlessly.

The result of this second debate competition was that Princess Zhaoguo won.

At this time, the princess of Zhaoguo became more and more proud: "There are already two messengers who have lost, it seems that Mr. Zizhong has to apologize to my country!" ”

Zizhong was so angry that his hands clenched into fists at this time, and his brows were tightly locked.

"Mencius said: 'A gentleman is different from others, and he has a heart. A gentleman is benevolent and courteous. The benevolent love others, and the courteous respect others. Those who love others will always love them; Those who respect others will always respect them. Qin Yu, who was sitting on the side at this time, said.

"You are?" Princess Zhaoguo looked at Qin Yu and asked.

"Qin Yu, the prince of the Northern Dynasty!" Qin Yu replied with a bow.

Qin Yu stood up, walked between them, and said, "Since you are so enthusiastic about debating, why don't you put this heart on the matter of the Four Nations Alliance today. ”

Princess Zhaoguo: "The prince is reasonable, Qinglian has been taught!" ”

That's it, in the end, it was Qin Yu who calmed down the matter, but now it seems that it was not Qin Yu's rhetoric that convinced Princess Qinglian of Zhaoguo at that time, but the real reason was...... Hehe...... I won't say much here.

"It turns out that this is the famous "Theory of Truthfulness" of the famous master, and this Princess Qinglian really has the true biography of the famous "sophistry"!" Yue'er thinks, it turns out that this Qinglian princess is really not simple?

"I didn't expect you to know a lot about the doctrines of famous masters?" Because in Qin Yu's opinion, Yue'er is usually a stupid girl, but he didn't expect her to know this, which really surprised him.

After Qin Yu finished talking about the events of the year, it was already sunset, so they rested in Lin Chunyuan.

King Zhao was really hospitable, and dined in Lin Chunyuan that night, needless to say, the food was needless to say, and the most important thing was to have good wine. Remember, our Crown Prince is the most fond of drinking.

On this night, in the Yin Yue Pavilion, Princess Qinglian was sitting in the palace, and at this time, a subordinate came in to report.

"Returning to the princess, the person who followed Gongziyu's side, according to the detective, should be the crown princess." The man bowed his head and bowed in reply.

"What? When did Gongziyu get married? Princess Qinglian was excited and smashed the jade on the table to the ground.

"I heard that this princess is the princess of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and she married to the Northern Dynasties." The man below added.

Princess Qinglian didn't seem to be able to listen anymore, she gestured and motioned for the man to retreat.

Princess Qinglian never thought that the person she liked had already married the princess of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, which was really ...... And this time he sent an envoy to Zhaoguo.

Gongziyu also traveled with the crown princess, which shows that their relationship is really good. Thinking of this, Princess Qinglian was very unconvinced, because in her eyes, only she was worthy of the crown prince Qin Yu.
