Chapter Ninety-Seven: Hundred Stone Terraces

Besides, Lin Yuyan sat in the carriage and walked for about a mile before slowly stopping.

Jing Yi glanced ahead, and said curiously to Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness, the crowd in front is crowded, and I don't know what happened. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan was also puzzled, it didn't seem to be a busy city in front of it, since Luo Yuyan's incident happened, Lin Yuyan's temperament has become less arrogant and domineering, and after lifting the car curtain, he glanced at it and said to Jing Yi: "Go and inquire about what happened in front, if it matters, change the way." ”

"Hmm," Jing Yi stepped forward to inquire about what was going on in front of him.

After a while, Jing Yi turned back and replied to Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness, the son of the previous Doctor Fu Shou has set up a hundred stone platforms. ”

"Baishitai?!" Lin Yuyan frowned and asked suspiciously, "What is this??? ”

"This hundred-stone platform was set up by Fu Zi'an, the son of Dr. Li, and it is a debate platform, anyone can go on stage to discuss the topic with the debater on the stage, and if you win the debater on the stage, you can get a hundred stone of food!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan smiled at Jing Yi and said, "When did Dr. Li's son fall in love with the things of the Zongheng family?" ”

Jing Yi shook his head at this and said that he didn't know, but said to Lin Yuyan: "Does Your Highness know who the debater on this hundred stone platform is?" ”

"Who?!"

"Han Kui!" Jing Yi replied.

"Han Kui, ah......" Lin Yuyan nodded, and then looked at the crowded crowd, "Anyway, it's okay today, Jing Yi, go and have a look." ”

Jing Yi nodded, just waiting for His Royal Highness to get out of the carriage.

Jing Yi said as he walked over: "Your Highness, this hundred stone platform has been done seven times, it seems that Mr. Han has started this hundred stone platform when he comes back from Jianyang, and he debates every day, and the debate topics are different, and today's debate topic is the dispute of etiquette and law!" ”

Jing Yi was tall and mighty, and when he saw such a guard, everyone present also avoided a road.

Walking all the way, Lin Yuyan also heard the whispers around him.

"Where did this guy come from, he's so powerful, he has won six of the seven debates, I think this hundred stone platform is also hanging today......"

"I heard that it's from Jin, from the Wei family!"

"No, no, no, I heard that it is a patriot."

"Aren't you from Qi Country?"

"Qi State, he just studied in the Qi Kingdom's Jixia Academy...... He is a guard, but he has served as a small official in the Jin Wei clan. ”

"The little officials of the Jin Wei clan can actually run rampant in my martial country, it really tortures my martial arts country!"

"Pei Zhen, the academician of Nanyang Shu on the stage, Xi Zongheng's way, is only in his twenties, and he is ranked as a guest in the court, which is really extraordinary......"

Han Kui on the other side is also the same age, and he is also a guest of the court...... Now the two of them are debating on the Baishi platform together, which is higher and which is lower, and they will be able to see later. ”

Lin Yuyan has already gone to the top position. Along the way, I have gradually understood the situation here, and it seems that it is Doctor Li's son Fu Zi An Zuodong, who has set up this hundred stone platform to make a name for this Han Kui.

But this 100 stone platform, 100 stone platform, 100 stone grain, this is really a big deal!

Lin Yuyan didn't think about it, according to Doctor Li's frustration, how could he take out this hundred stone grain at will and put it on the hundred stone platform, after all, the Fu clan is the old clan of Miyang, and the family has a lot of wealth, but this hundred stone grain is not difficult to come out.

However, what made Lin Yuyan care was that it was in the past few days that Wen Xiangheng, who had just returned to Gongziyan's mansion, checked the accounts and came over to inform him that there was no food in the mansion!

Yes, the landlord's house already has no grain in stock!

To be honest, even Lin Yuyan himself is hot enough for this hundred stones of grain, after all, Lin Yuyan's own mansion has more than 100 mouths.

Lin Yuyan raised his head and looked at the Baishi platform, it was Han Kui and Pei Zhen, the academician of Nanyang Academy, who were discussing the dispute over etiquette and law.

Pei Cai is talking about the law, and Han Kui is arguing about etiquette.

The two were arguing with each other, going back and forth, arguing with reason.

Han Kui was quoted from the side, sometimes talking about the rule of the three generations of antiquity, and sometimes leading to folk talks, which was very funny, compared with this, Pei Yu, a scholar of Nanyang Academy opposite, was a little dwarfed.

After three back and forth, Pei Yu conceded defeat to Han Kui and said, "Brother Han, Pei ...... admit defeat."

Han Kui waved his hand and said, "Brother Pei is very knowledgeable, and Kui has also benefited a lot......

Pei Yu smiled, naturally knowing that Han Kui was being modest, and also replied: "Please also ask Brother Han to enter Nanyang Academy in the southern suburbs of Wancheng after these seven days of 100 stone platforms, Shanchang Gu Liangshi is compiling a book of words, I heard that Brother Han is from the Central Plains, I hope Brother Han can stay in Nanyang Academy......"

Han Kui replied: "Guliang Master is a famous Confucian in the martial arts, and it is really an honor for Guliang Master to be invited...... Tomorrow Kui will come to Nanyang Academy to disturb him. ”

Pei Gong bowed his hand and said goodbye, and he got off the hundred stone platform.

At this time, Frustrated Zi'an, who was dressed in brocade clothes, came to the stage and said with a smile: "Who else can come to the stage to debate with my friend, the guard Han Kui, and win my brother Han, and the hundred stones of grain and grass under the hundred stone platform can be taken away." ”

At this time, the 100 stone grain under the 100-stone platform was particularly conspicuous.

Seeing this, Lin Yuyan smashed his mouth and said to Jing Yi: "How can I see Dr. Li's son like this, why do I really want to take away this hundred stones of grain!" ”

Jing Yi looked choked and said, "Your Highness, it's a bit ...... to do this."

Lin Yuyan stopped Jing Yi and continued: "It's not that you want to rob it, you want to take it, there is a way...... For example, Han Zi won on the Baishi platform. ”

Hearing this, Jing Yi looked embarrassed for a while, and couldn't help but remind his Royal Highness: "Your Highness, that's Han Zi......"

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan sneered at Jing Yi and said, "I'm still the sixth son of the emperor of Wuguo!" ”

Jing Yi paused, and then stopped talking back to his Royal Highness, indeed, the identity of His Royal Highness in Wuguo is indeed higher than that of Han Zi Han Kui.

However, it took a long time for Jing Yi to react, if it was the identity of these hundreds of stone platforms, how could Han Zijie be a small official of the Jin Wei clan without a defeat in the past seven days.

However, at this time, His Royal Highness was staring at the Baishi Platform with relish, and after Pei Cai, two more scholars came to the stage to argue, but they were unsurprisingly defeated by the talented and agile Han Kui.

Lin Yuyan was about to take the stage, but Jing Yi behind him grabbed the placket and asked, "What does Your Highness want to do?!" ”

Lin Yuyan turned his head and replied: "Naturally, hundreds of stone platforms are arguing with Han Zi, didn't Wen Qing say that there is not much surplus grain in the mansion, this hundred stones of grain is enough!" ”

Jing Yi originally wanted to dissuade His Royal Highness from ...... I humiliated myself, but after thinking about it for a moment, I was afraid that I would have humiliated His Royal Highness by saying this, so I slowly loosened the placket I was holding.

Lin Yuyan slowly walked onto the Baishi platform.

"Who is this?"

Seeing Lin Yuyan walking on the Baishi Platform, some people were also puzzled.

At that moment, someone also replied: "I don't know, but it's normal to want to come to this hundred stones of grain to attract unknown juniors!" ”

"No, no, you look at the material of the clothes he wears, he must not be an ordinary person!"

"Well...... It's really ......."

Fu Zi'an naturally knew Lin Yuyan, and was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said, "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, why did you come up?!" ”

"Could it be the Sixth Prince? Didn't he quell the bandits in Thorn Yang?! ”

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince also wants to come to the stage to argue with this Wei Ren Keqing?!"

"Looks like it must be!"

The crowd whispered.

"What's the matter, on the Baishi platform, you can't get on me?!" Lin Yuyan asked rhetorically.

Fu Zi'an immediately waved his hand and said, "This is not true, but, Your Highness, these hundreds of stone platforms need to be debated with Han Zi!" ”

"I've been watching the audience for a long time, and I naturally know the rules!" Lin Yuyan replied.

Frustration Zi'an flicked his sleeves, and then glanced at Han Kui, who nodded, Frustration Zi'an just smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince can kiss a hundred stone platforms, which is really enough for Zi'an's face, and in this debate, His Royal Highness the Six Princes and Brother Han can accompany His Highness to a hundred stone of grain today!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan waved his hand with a weak heart and said: "Today's hundreds of stone platforms, this son is completely here to be able to personally appreciate Han Zi's demeanor, not for the hundred stone grain!" ”

Jing Yi in the audience heard that his Royal Highness said this, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead, and he remembered that His Royal Highness clearly said that it was for this hundred stones of grain that he went to the hundred stone platform!

Hearing Lin Yuyan say this, Han Kui also smiled, and then greeted Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness has never liked to stand and talk, so today is to try this for Your Highness." ”

Listening to Han Kui's ridiculous words, Lin Yuyan also responded with a smile, and then sat down on the futon in the direction that Han Kui pointed out.

Frustrated Zi'an retreated, Han Kui pointed to the debate list and said: "Your Highness, today's debate topic is the debate between etiquette and law, and only one of the two can be saved, which one does Your Highness want to choose?" ”

Lin Yuyan raised his head and glanced at it, then replied to Han Kui: "Which one does Han Zi agree with?!" ”

Hearing this, Han Kui replied with a smile: "Kui, naturally, it's okay." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan nodded, because in just a few debates, Han Kui did not always stand on one side's point of view.

But Lin Yuyan knows how to debate, first of all, he must not be inferior to the other party in terms of momentum, and immediately replied: "Coincidentally, I can also do both, or Han Zi chooses first." ”

Hearing this, Han Kui raised the corners of his mouth again, whether he was laughing at Lin Yuyan is a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers It is not yet known, on the bright side, Han Kui still gave the sixth son of the emperor enough respect, and said: "Your Highness knows, if you practice the law and ink, if the ritual can only save one, what Kui chooses will definitely be the law, not the ceremony." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan said: "Since Han Zi's law is good, then I choose to use Lilly to break Han Zi's law." ”

As soon as Lin Yuyan's words came out, the sound of whispering suddenly sounded under the Baishi stage, and Jing Yi listened to it, thinking that his Royal Highness had made a big deal.

But Jing Yi couldn't refute it, because in his heart, he also thought so, what kind of person is this Han Zi, His Royal Highness's eloquence is indeed good, but when it comes to academics, I am afraid it is difficult to compare with this Han Zi who has traveled around the world.

"Your Highness, please speak first." Han Kui knew that the first opportunity of the debater was very important, since His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince of the Emperor opposite had handed over the topic to him, and the courtesy was still exchanged, Han Kui should give the opportunity to the Sixth Son.

However, Lin Yuyan continued to support the avenue: "It's still Han Zi first." ”

Hearing this, Han Kui showed a wry smile, it seems that the sixth son of the emperor does not understand the rules of debate in the vertical and horizontal family, and this debate is just to find novelty, but since the sixth son of the emperor has come to power, Han Kui thought a little and said: "That Kui is throwing bricks and leading jade, law is the important weapon of the country, today I will discuss a topic with His Royal Highness, that is, the punishment is not a doctor, and the courtesy is not inferior to a concubine, what does Your Highness think of this sentence." ”

For Han Kui, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he was more preachy to Lin Yuyan, the sixth son of the emperor, than a debate.

However, Lin Yuyan asked rhetorically: "Does Han Zi think this sentence is right or wrong?" ”

Han Kui listened to the sixth son of the emperor kicking the problem back like a ball, and he also smiled at the corner of his mouth for a while, and replied: "Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, for example, Tang Yao and Yu Shun are all ordinary people who plough the fields, do the people of the world think that they are not polite?" Xia Wei and Shang are all human kings, don't Xianjun punish them? ”

"This ......"

Everyone under the Baishi stage secretly nodded in their hearts, and the angle of Han Kui's words was extremely tricky, making it difficult to refute, so everyone looked at Lin Yuyan, the sixth son of the emperor, looking forward to how he answered.

But he didn't expect that Lin Yuyan replied directly to Han Kui: "So, Han Zi is against this sentence, coincidentally, I am also against ......."

This...... The sixth son of the emperor replied that it was really a scoundrel.

"Your Highness is really against it?!" Han Kui thought that he still had to go to great lengths to say that he would shake the attitude of the sixth son of the emperor on this matter, but he did not expect that the sixth son of the emperor was also against the view that "the punishment is not a doctor, and the courtesy is not inferior to a concubine".

Lin Yuyan replied with a serious expression: "Han Zi saw what I did in Jianyang, how could he agree with this sentence. ”

"That's ......" Han Kui nodded, although Lin Yuyan bowed his head in the debate of this sentence, but in essence, Han Kui did not achieve any overwhelming advantage.

However, Han Kui was not worried, he was able to determine that the sixth son of the emperor was not an old-fashioned faction, Han Kui felt that it was okay, and immediately said: "That is a direct dispute over etiquette and law, Your Highness, once Lu Zhongni advocated the restoration of Zhou Rites to rule the world, and traveled around the world, but no country listened to it and let it go, but if you want Qi to be the hegemon, the king of Chu to win the crown, and the Duke of Jin to be the hero, it is to use the internal law and foreign soldiers to become a strong country." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan shook his head, stared at Han Kui's eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Han Zi's words are to regard the rites as Zhou rites one-sidedly, and also to think that rites and law cannot be unified. ”

"Oh?!" It was the first time Han Kui had heard such remarks, especially recently when Han Kui was compiling a law scripture based on the national conditions of the Wu Kingdom, and he also asked back: "Rites are not Zhou rites, is it a commercial rite?" Summer Rite? or other rituals, and besides, as we all know, rituals are like fire and water, and the two are incompatible, so Your Highness should answer correctly......"

Hearing this, to be honest, Lin Yuyan admired Han Kui's quick thinking, but after all, he was different from himself, if he stood at the same height, Lin Yuyan believed that Han Kui's thinking would definitely surpass his own, but Han Kui was not at the same height as himself after all!

Lin Yuyan laughed, he had already caught the language loophole in Han Kui, and Lin Yuyan was not in a hurry to answer, but thought about organizing the language before opening his mouth to Han Kui: "Etiquette, no matter which dynasty of Xia, Shang and Zhou, there are merits, of course, there are also undesirables, Han Zi sees the undesirable, not the desirable, so he ......."

"What do you mean?" Han Kui also asked.

Lin Yuyan paused deliberately before replying: "There are two schools of Confucianism and soldiers, Han Zi is probably more convinced of soldiers?!" ”

Hearing this, Han Kui nodded, he was indeed involved in the strategy of the soldiers, and Han Kui, who was more inclined to the Mo family than Confucianism, was naturally more or less resistant.

Seeing Han Kui nodding, Lin Yuyan raised the corners of his mouth and replied: "Etiquette is a doctrine advocated by Confucianism, and it is understandable that Han Zi dislikes it. It just so happens that I am too, Han Zi likes to be a torturer and neglects Confucianism, for example, do all the people in the world know etiquette and are friendly to each other, or are all the people in the world are torturers with their chests, they are violent, and they have always been angry and right, and it is better to draw a sword against each other if they don't get along? ! ”

Hearing this, Han Kui smiled, and had to say that the mouth of the sixth prince of the emperor was indeed underestimated, especially this sentence, which took advantage of the loophole of Han Kui's understanding.

Han Kui's dislike of Confucian etiquette is a set of outdated and customary hierarchical etiquette, not a popular etiquette as the sixth son of the emperor said.

However, although the people's knowledge of etiquette is not the top priority of Confucianism, and even the qualification of the key points is not there, it is undeniable that the people's knowledge of etiquette, which is only summarized in three words and two words in Confucianism, is indeed a part of Confucianism.

There is no denying this.

Han Kui, at this moment, it is obvious that he cannot refute the views of the sixth prince from the front.

In fact, in the words of the sixth son of the emperor, according to Han Kui's experience, there are also loopholes, that is, the premise of the sixth son of the emperor is an assumption, and it is impossible for all the people to know the etiquette or the torture soldiers, because no matter which vassal state, they are more or less inclined to foolish people.

Han Kui knew this, but he couldn't say it clearly.

Han Kui's short silence quickly caused a storm under the Baishi Stage, and even Jing Yi opened his mouth slightly, he really didn't expect that His Royal Highness would be able to dumb Han Zibian!

Fu Zi'an also sweated in his hands, he was not regretting his hundred-stone grain, but the seven-day hundred-stone platform that had established Han Kui's reputation for not being defeated had a faint tendency to waver.

Han Kui is Han Kui after all, even if Lin Yuyan used his thinking height, he failed to deal a devastating blow to Han Kui's thoughts after all, but in a dozen breaths, Han Kui thought of answering: "I discussed with His Highness before, this ceremony is a ceremony that is not inferior to the courtesy, not a ......"

Lin Yuyan nodded, and he was quite happy in his heart, he naturally knew what Han Kui meant, and his etiquette was nothing more than the rank of the courtesy in "courtesy is not inferior to the common people", but what Lin Yuyan was arguing with him was the people's well-known etiquette that he and Han Kui jointly thought was correct.

Although Han Kui agrees with this sentence, because of the limitations of the times, his etiquette is limited to the etiquette of rank, not the ideal etiquette of the people.

Han Kui also knew that if the sixth prince really didn't give in on this step, he would be helpless.

Lin Yuyan naturally knew this, but compared to Han Kui's dilemma, Lin Yuyan was much more calm, he used Han Kui's limited thinking not to stop the debate at this embarrassing time, but to let Han Kui argue with his own thoughts, and eat away at Han Kui's train of thought little by little.

Lin Yuyan also did not continue to entangle the scope of the ceremony with Han Kui, but changed the conversation and said to Han Kui: "Han Zi asked me about the ceremony, and my ceremony is finished, then the next thing is to talk about the unity of etiquette and law." ”

"Unity of etiquette and law?!"

I have to say that this point of view is extremely novel, Rao is Han Kui, and it is the first time I have heard this point of view, etiquette is the thought of Confucianism, law is the door of Legalism, in this era of a hundred schools of thought, Confucianism and Legalism should be opposing academic schools even if they are not enemies of life and death.

Even Han Kui's mentor Guiguzi, who believed in Confucianism and Mo, combined with the name and law, and gathered the strengths of a hundred schools, never explained to Han Kui any concept of the unity of etiquette and law.

One wants to maintain the privileges of the old ruling class, and the other advocates the abolition of the aristocratic privileges of "not punishing doctors", how can it be possible for the two to be united?

What a fantasy!

Lin Yuyan knows how much the limitations of the times affect the pattern of individuals, and he also understands that in order to overwhelm Han Kui in the debate, he cannot directly rely on thinking beyond his time and space, but also based on the world conditions of this era.

Lin Yuyan was thinking about it, but Han Kui was very interested in Lin Yuyan's next narrative, in his opinion, this sixth son of the emperor was really an interesting person.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Yuyan decided to defeat Han Kui in one go: "Han Zi, etiquette is not ununified, even if it is water and fire, it will be compatible, Han Zi has never seen such a different view, but after a long time, I will show Han Zi for himself." ”

"Your Highness, please elaborate." Han Kui said.

Therefore, Lin Yuyan sat down and said: "Etiquette is the parents of the law!" Have you ever heard of father and son and mother and son who turn against each other? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but think that the sixth son of the emperor was humiliating Han Kui with foreign meanings.

However, Han Kui thought of something because of this sentence, and opened his mouth to urge Lin Yuyan and said, "Your Highness, you can speak quickly." ”

At this time, Lin Yuyan already understood that he didn't need to care about winning or losing this debate, and said eloquently: "Three generations of etiquette and law are subtle, but there is no lack of prosperity far beyond this world. ”

There is no one before and no one after you?!

"Why?!"

Lin Yuyan asked and replied to herself: "Even in the three generations, although the criminal law is micro-criminal and the ritual system is heavy, even today's criminal law is not as good as the original ritual system, and today's criminal law can control the doctor?!" ”

Lin Yuyan stood up, and every time he took a step towards Han Kui, he asked in a loud voice.

"Can you make a good system?!"

"Can you control the pet minister?!"

"Can control all the princes!!"

"Can you make concubines?!"

"It can control the princes of the world!"

"It can control the !! of the Son of Heaven"

Lin Yuyan took seven steps in a row, walked towards Han Kui, and asked seven questions, Han Kui was stunned, and then shook his head and said, "No!" ”

Lin Yuyan turned around and said to the figures under the Baishi Stage: "But the original etiquette can!" The law that Legalists want to pursue is to go to the limit of the original etiquette system, that is, the people of the world, regardless of the monarch and the minister, must respect the courtesy, and the people will not respect the courtesy, and the officials will be investigated! The minister is not respectful, the king is investigated! The king is not respectful, such as the ...... Oh my! ”

"This ......"

When Han Kui heard this, he was shocked, and these words gave Han Kui a new level of understanding of the law, and it turned out that the law of the great harmony of the world that the sons of the Legalists wanted to pursue was the original etiquette system.

"Different paths lead to the same ......"

Han Kui just muttered these two sentences and came back to his senses. Only then did he find out that the sixth son of the emperor had already gone down the Baishi platform, and Fu Zi'an also ran up and asked Han Kui: "Brother Han, His Royal Highness the sixth son of the emperor abandoned in the middle of the field, does it count as winning or losing?!" ”

Han Kui raised his head and looked at the four big words of the dispute over etiquette and law on the topic list for a long time, there is no doubt that as the sixth son of the emperor said, etiquette is the parent of the law!

After a long time, Han Kui recognized this fact: "This debate ...... It's me who lost......"
