Chapter 435: On the Dao, On the Martial Arts
On the first day of the opening of the conference on Taoism and martial arts, the sun was shining brightly, and the wind was smooth.
The entire venue was overcrowded. In the debate hall in the center of the venue, there were countless Confucian students, including teenage boys, ten-year-old youths, ambitious middle-aged people, and gray-haired old men...... The contestants, sitting in pairs, either with serious expressions, or slightly cold expressions, or with disdainful faces, are engaged in the most heated debate.
More than 14,000 Confucian scholars debated with each other, without any referee, and let the people assigned to them debate.
There are many problems with this approach.
However, in the current situation, it is not possible to pick out thousands of referees who can qualify. Moreover, this is a discussion meeting, not a written answer. However, Wang Lei believes that people who want to get ahead cannot take the initiative to give up.
Even if there is a little bit of favoritism, the further it goes, the more difficult it is to cheat.
Real gold is not afraid of fire!
A talented person must be an awl in his pocket, and he can't hide it no matter what.
Wang Lei sat in the stands not far from the venue, looking forward to it. Next to Wang Lei, there are Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Cai Yong, Ma Ri, Pang Degong, Sima Hui and other first-class celebrities.
"Gathering students from all over the world to sit and discuss, Lord Wang's discourse conference this time has made a good start."
As soon as Zheng Xuan opened his mouth, he gave this argument a qualitative conclusion.
With Zheng Xuan's words, there is no doubt that no one dares to question it anymore.
Wang Lei chuckled and said humbly: "Kang Chenggong has a good reputation, although this time the Dao Conference is unprecedented, there are still many places where you are not fully prepared. For example, all the students who decide the debate topic yourself can only debate freely, and there is no referee to determine whether it is good or bad. There are too many people involved, and it is impossible to invite enough capable Confucians, so it can only be handled in this way. ”
Sima Hui smiled and exclaimed: "What Lord Wang said is a small problem, which does not affect the overall situation. In my opinion, the free debate that is taking place now is a good attempt to maximize the ability of Confucianism. This time the Tao can be called immeasurably meritorious. After this debate, there must be a great improvement in the Confucian scholars in the world. As long as you settle down and do your studies, within ten years, countless talents will surely emerge. ”
Liu Hong echoed: "Opportunities are hard to find, and that's true! ”
"Lord, someone has won!"
Suddenly, a guard hurried to report.
"In less than half an hour of the start, someone won, really fast enough, who are they?" Wang Lei asked.
The soldier handed over the list, and after Wang Lei read it, his eyes widened.
Seeing this, Zheng Xuan asked with a smile, "Is there anything strange about making adults so surprised?" ”
Wang Lei shook the list in his hand and said, "This conference is really interesting. The first to win was not an adult, but four young children. ”
In an instant, everyone present was surprised.
Liu Hong asked, "Who are they?" ”
Wang Lei replied: "First, it is Pang Degong's nephew Pang Tong, according to the recorded age, he is only thirteen years old. Second, Sima Yi, the second son of Sima Fang of Hanoi County, is the same age as Pang Tong, who is also thirteen years old; third, Lu Xun, the grandson of Lu Kang, who was too guarded by Lujiang County, was eleven years old; Fourth, Zhuge Liang, the nephew of Yuzhang Taishou Zhuge Xuan, is twelve years old. ”
"Among the four, Zhuge Liang's words are the sharpest."
Zhuge Liang was facing an old man with a high head, and in a few words, Zhuge Liang refuted that the old man opposite rolled his eyes and fell to the ground in a coma, so talented that he was really surprised. The rest of Pang Tong, Sima Yi, and Lu Xun also won easily. ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Lei was also amazed again and again.
An exclamation suddenly sounded.
Everyone here is a great Confucian, but they didn't expect this to be the result.
The corners of Pang Degong's mouth rose, and there was a smug look in the depths of his eyes. His nephew participated in the discussion conference and won the victory at the age of a weak crown, which is naturally extraordinary.
Huang Chengyan glanced at Pang Degong and quipped: "Pang Degong, don't be happy too early." If Pang Tong passes all the way, in the end, when it is your turn to come to power, Uncle Zhi will fight and debate with you, then it will be interesting. If you lose, it's a shame. ”
"Hmph, Pang Tong and I debate, it's his ability. Wouldn't it be better if I lost? ”
Pang Degong pursed his lips, looking quite happy.
Wang Lei was excited in his heart, this time the discussion conference really blew up the big fish. Sima Yi is the pillar supporting the Wei State, Zhuge Liang is the pillar of the Shu State, Pang Tong is Liu Bei's henchman, and Lu Xun is a fire that burned Liu Bei's hundreds of thousands of troops.
These four people are extraordinary.
After the four of them advanced, one after another, some people began to win.
These people, Wang Lei did not bother to observe, and after greeting Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong and others, he got up and went to Dongshi to watch the ongoing martial arts conference. By the time we arrived, there had already been countless people who had failed or won.
I don't know who found Wang Lei, and after a while, the warriors at the venue shouted again and again.
Wang Lei waved his hand, then found the person in charge of the competition and asked about the status of the competition. After getting the news, Wang Lei found an extraordinary person. Ma Teng's son, Ma Chao, also participated in the martial arts conference. With Ma Chao participating, it was even more lively. In addition, the military generals of all the princes, the martial arts conference is also very lively.
……
East City, Inn!
In the room, a tall and thin old man with a clear appearance sat cross-legged with a cold face. His eyes fell on the boxes resting on the desk, his eyes wide and wide. Inside these boxes were lime-treated heads, each of which was laid out in front of them, and everyone's eyes were open, as if they were dead.
There was a creak, and the door opened.
A burly middle-aged man walked in and saw the scene. He was taken aback and said, "Zhong Degong, what the hell is going on?" How did our people get killed? ”
The person who came was Xiahou Yuan.
The old man sitting was Cao Cao's strategist Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu sighed lightly and said, "Our actions in Ye County are too frequent, and Wang Lei killed the people we sent out. The purpose of sending the head is to knock us and let us reach out less indiscriminately. ”
Xiahou Yuan flicked his sleeves and snorted angrily: "Back then, Wang Lei was besieged, and the lord lent him grain. Now, Wang Lei turned his face and didn't recognize people, he was really a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised. ”
Cheng Yu said: "Our people were killed quietly, which shows that Wang Lei has a secret force. From this point of view, it is already very difficult to reach out to the people who participate in the conference in an open and honest manner, and they can only act in secret. ”
Xiahou Yuan asked, "What is Zhongde going to do?" ”
Cheng Yu said: "General Xiahou is a little more high-profile and goes to visit the Confucians who come to Ye County. If you do this, you are above board, Wang Lei does not dare to do it. In this way, General Xiahou attracted Wang Lei's attention, and I waited for an opportunity to find talents. ”
"Understood!"
Xiahou Yuan nodded heavily, his eyes solemn.
