A week has passed in a blink of an eye, and it can be said that in this week's time, there is one thing spread in street taverns all over the country, that is, Cao Xing will go public and have an open debate with Yan Yun, the great Confucian of Bingzhou, and others.

In fact, debate tournaments are not uncommon in this era, for example, in a tavern, two great Confucians met, chatted, their opinions disagreed, and then a fierce debate began, but then again, the limitations of this kind of debate tournament are also very large, because in this era of education is not popular, people who can participate in debate tournaments must be literate people, so most of them are those Confucian scholars, and they have little to do with ordinary civilians.

However, now Cao Xing is going to go to this flood, so many people are very surprised, first, although Cao Xing can read and break words, but then again, the person Cao Xing wants to fight against, that is the great Confucian of Bingzhou, although compared to Cai Yong Zheng Xuan, there is still a level behind. But it's also not too much to say.

More important is Cao Xing's identity, that is the state pastor, if you lose, the consequences are unimaginable, I believe that Cao Xing's reputation will be greatly reduced, a generation of low reputation, it is very likely to lead to people's dissatisfaction, once the people's hearts are not convinced, it is very likely to be in chaos, when the time comes, Cao Xing's and state pastor, it will really come to an end, so the victory or defeat of this debate is also very important.

Therefore, in this week's time, people have long talked about this topic, and many people are interested in the outcome of this game, and some people have speculated whether this Cao Xing has taken the wrong medicine, I am afraid that the Confucian classics do not know a few words, so they dare to debate with the great Confucianism concerned, which is simply a big joke in the world.

However, there are also some people who have a negative attitude, they obviously have a certain understanding of Cao Xing, and know that Cao Xing does not play cards according to common sense, so the result they judge is that Cao Xing's winning rate should be greater, of course, this part of the people is relatively few.

There are even some people who infer there that this is a play directed and acted by Cao Xing, and there is nothing to see.

Everyone has their own ideas, but it is too early to draw conclusions, and the final conclusion can only be reached after the debate is completely over, so at this moment, many people have gone to Shangtang, not to mention those students in the state, even Jizhou Sili, Jingzhou Yanzhou, whether it is a family of nobles or a son of a study tour, or a famous Confucian, have gone to Shangtang, and Shangtang is also very lively for a while.

A week passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Cao Xing got up early in the morning, and Xiao Man was behind him to help Cao Xing get dressed.

Through the bronze mirror, Cao Xing looked at Xiao Man's expression, and was still a little nervous, so he said half-jokingly: "Why, don't believe me!" ”

When Xiao Man heard this, he muttered: "You just go and call yourself a hero!" ”

Cao Xuan could only smile helplessly at this, how could he feel jealous when he heard Xiao Man's words?

However, Xiao Man finally said: "No matter what, I hope you can win, of course, this is not my wishful thinking, just think of it as you fighting for Sister Cai's face!" After saying this, Xiao Man also helped Cao Xuan get dressed, turned around and left here, and Cao Xuan shook his head helplessly when he saw this.

Then Cao Xuan quickly went out of the mansion, rode a horse, took Zhou Cang, Hu Che'er and others, and quickly came to the school, and from a distance, Cao Xuan saw that Cai Yan had already taken his students and was waiting at the door.

Seeing Cao Xuan coming, Cai Yan also hurriedly won, and Cai Yan's students also saluted excitedly when they saw Cao Xing, and Cao Xuan also smiled, so that they didn't have to be polite.

Cao Xuan looked around, it can be said that there is already a sea of people here, this time Chen Hu, the general of Chen Fang, directly dispatched a full 3,000 people to maintain order.

In the middle was a high platform with nearly ten slots, all of which were given to both sides of the debate.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan twisted his head, and walked inside without hurrying, Cai Yan's expression seemed to be a little anxious along the way, he first asked him there about the book he gave Cao Xing, how much Cao Xuan had read, Cao Xuan smiled and did not answer, seeing this, Cai Yan was a little desperate.

He still didn't give up what he said to Cao Xing, let Cao Xuan take him up, he would find a way to win this debate, and he would definitely not let Cao Xuan be embarrassed, Cao Xuan finally smiled and didn't speak.

This rather tense debate competition is as easy as playing a game here in Cao Xing.

And at this moment, Cao Xing also walked to the center position, and looked at the people around him again, these people were dressed luxuriously, and it seemed that they had spent a lot of money to buy the front row position.

However, Cao Xuan also knows that these people must not only be from their states, but also from other states and counties, these people come here for different purposes, some people just want to learn and see, but some people's minds are not so simple, and even Cao Xuan can feel that some people look at him with eyes full of schadenfreude, obviously hope that after Cao Xuan comes to power, he will be speechless and embarrassed by those great Confucians, and when Cao Xing's reputation is damaged, the control of the state will definitely be weakened a lot, Then some people will be happy.

Even so, Cao Xing still welcomed everyone, and at this moment, Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and other officials also hurriedly came.

Jia Xu is still wearing an official uniform today, for no other reason, he is the host of this debate.

Under so many eyes, Jia Xu must be fair and just after he gets on the debate stage later, but Jia Xu is Cao Xing's subordinate after all, so at this moment, he can't help but run down and say the rules to Cao Xuan first.

"Lord, this debate match is a four-on-four situation, I have already asked Yan Yun just now, who are they going to send over there, now it's your turn, you are going to let him go on the field with the courtesy!"

When Cao Xing heard this, before he could answer, the people next to him ran up in groups of three or five, volunteering to be Cai Yan first, followed by Fa Zheng, and then Fengyun, so that the four of them were basically all together, and Cao Xing also knew that whether it was Cai Yan or Fa Zheng or Fengyun, the cultural level of the three people was not low, if the three of them were brought together, their strength would definitely increase greatly, but the decision made by Cao Xuan made everyone stunned.

Cao Xuan directly waved his hand at the three of them, signaling Feng Yun and the others to watch below, and he could go up alone.

When Cao Xuan made this decision, Cai Yan and the others were completely stunned, what confidence did Cao Xuan have to face the four great Confucians alone, but Cao Xuan didn't care so much, and looked directly at Jia Xu, Jia Xu just pondered for a moment and then said.

"According to the rules of the debate tournament, it is indeed possible, but if the lord only goes up alone, it can only be regarded as you automatically giving up the remaining three places!"

Cao Xuan did not hesitate when he heard this, and nodded directly, and in this way, under the attention of everyone, Cao Xuan walked onto the debate stage alone, and the four people opposite at this moment were Yan Yun and the other three old men, these three old men were also the same ones that Cao Xuan had seen that day.

Let's not talk about their literary level, let's just say that their relationship with Yan Yun must be very iron, otherwise Yan Yun would not have pulled them to this.

Yan Yun and the others watched Cao Xuan come alone, a sneer appeared on Yan Yun's face, thinking that Cao Xuan really didn't understand anything, and he probably knew a little bit about marching and fighting.

Could it be that Cao Xuan thought that doing a debate match was like marching and fighting, Yan Yun and the four of them glanced at each other, and they all made up a plan, and they must humiliate Cao Xuan later.

Cao Xing and Yan Yun all sat down on the debate platform, Jia Xu also stepped onto the hosting platform, first gave a speech to the people below, and the people below all chanted, and then Jia Xu glanced at Cao Xing, and in the end, he could only walk back to the position he presided over and announce the beginning of the debate competition.

First of all, Yan Yun, when they spoke, they saw Yan Yun stand up, glanced at Cao Xing, and then shook Jia Xu and the people in the audience, and then shook his head and said: "From the martial king Ji Fa." Punish and destroy the Shang Dynasty and establish the first ...... of the Zhou Dynasty"

For half an hour, the people below were silent, and at this moment they all had a feeling of confusion in their hearts, Yan Yun and the four of them were worthy of being the great Confucians in the matter, and the words they said were not only obscure, but also every sentence was quoted from the scriptures, it was obvious that they had definitely made full preparations before they came to participate in this debate competition, so the four of them shook their heads there and said for half an hour.

In this half-hour, they gave many examples, first showing the importance of rituals, second, explaining the history of learning rituals, and finally showing that if people do not learn rituals, they will be like birds and animals, and they will not understand bullshit. Therefore, if you want to be a normal person in this world, you must learn etiquette, otherwise you are nothing, so the way of etiquette is the most important thing in this world.

Even Yan Yun said a few obscure words there intentionally or unintentionally in the end, which probably meant that he criticized Cao Xing for not learning etiquette like the king of Shang back then, so he was finally killed.

When Yan Yun and the others finished speaking, everyone suddenly felt fearless, not that Yan Yun was not good enough, but that they felt that there was no need to read it anymore, what else was there to see?

Yan Yun and others quoted classics and talked endlessly, there are many classic stories, everyone has never heard of them, and many students are picking up pens and constantly recording on paper.

These people who are reading the sage books every day have never heard of these things, let alone Cao Xing.

Now Yan Yun and others have used so many examples to prove that their views are correct, Cao Xuan wants to overturn them one by one, I'm afraid there are some difficulties, and the most important thing is that Cao Xuan doesn't know much about the way of etiquette at all, and now he has to say four mouths with one mouth, isn't this looking for death?
