A bell rang outside the stage, and the originally noisy crowd gradually quieted down, stopped talking, and looked at the people on the stage.

Sitting in the middle of the seat due north on the stage, the majestic old man in a luxurious purple official robe stood up, looked at the people on the stage, pressed his hands, and said loudly: "Today's Huayi distinction starts now." ”

The so-called distinction between Huayi, according to the past dynasties, is to distinguish between Huaxia and barbarians according to etiquette, and the etiquette here refers to "Zhou Li", "Etiquette", "Book of Rites" and "Spring and Autumn".

The literati of the past dynasties had great differences about the difference between Huayi and how to treat it, so there was a distinction between Huayi.

The distinction between Huayi has existed since ancient times, and it has lasted for thousands of years, and the literati of any dynasty have been arguing endlessly, and the policies of different dynasties towards the so-called barbarians are also different because of the debates of the literati.

It can be said that although this is just a routine debate in Guozijian, it also represents the attitude of these scholars who are about to step into Dawan officialdom and may become the mainstay in the future.

By the time they stand on the Taiming Palace, the ideas they are talking about today may turn into decrees that will guide Dawan's direction.

Xu Mingyuan has read many literati in the book to discuss the distinction between Huayi, but the words of the past do not apply to today, the country of Dawan is powerful, although there are strong and brutal eyes around, but it is enough to shock the Quartet.

The official with a long beard and a rather dignified appearance is naturally the Guozi Priest Wine, surnamed Cai. It is said that Zeng Fuzi also served as the country's prince for several years, and he was also a noble position.

The priest looked around and said loudly: "The sages divided the crowd into rituals. And those who are not racially, who are in line with Chinese etiquette and are intimate with Zhuxia are Chinese. Those who do not agree are barbarians and outsiders.

Today, Huayi is set up on the Yantai to distinguish between Huayi, and you can speak freely. Based on the world of today's Dawan, talk about the difference between Siyi and my Dawan, and talk about how to get along with Zhuyi.

Everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts, and today's debate does not matter whether it wins or loses, but if there is a talent in the world, I think you will not let the pearl be dusted.

Today, you can stand on this platform, you can express your mind directly, stand on the court in the coming day, and don't forget to speak out. This is what it is today. ”

"Don't dare to forget the words of sacrificial wine!" Everyone on the stage and everyone in the audience responded in unison, and their expressions were a little solemn.

"Okay, today's Huayi debate, who will be the first to argue?" Lord Sacrificial Wine nodded slightly, looked at the people on the stage and asked loudly.

"Student Ning An volunteered to be the first to argue." The blue-clothed man sitting in the middle got up and answered, it was Ning Anzhi, one of the four great talents of Chang'an.

Guozi Jian is in charge of Dawan Xuezheng, so scholars all over the world can call themselves students to Guozi Jian Wine to show respect.

Ning Anzhi was together, and everyone's eyes fell on him. Some people who knew his identity also introduced him softly to the people next to them.

Ning Anzhi, the eldest young master of Ninghou Yefu, is now nineteen years old, and at the age of fifteen, he moved Chang'an with a poem. At the age of eighteen, he and Fang Tingyan and others were known as the four great talents of Chang'an, and they participated in the Guozi Academy examination this autumn and won the first place on the list. He is known as one of the most promising people to win the gold prize.

Ning Anzhi is handsome and handsome. Although he was watched by thousands of people, he did not show the slightest timidity. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he calmly looked at the priest.

"Okay, and listen to what you have to say." Lord Sacrificial Wine looked at Ning Anzhi and smiled, and sat down again as he spoke.

Ning Anzhi first saluted the disciples in the direction of the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine, and then waved his hands at everyone, stood up straight, and then said loudly: "China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua, but with the barbarism of Zhuyi, I don't know what the position of etiquette is, so it is called Yi. The sages said that if the ceremony is lost, it will be Yidi, and if it is lost, it will be a beast. The saint is afraid of people entering Yidi, so the law of "Spring and Autumn" is extremely strict, so those who are cautious, Huayi's distinction is particularly keen. ”

As soon as Ning Anzhi spoke, everyone stopped talking, listening to Ning Anzhi's words, nodding from time to time, and when they looked at Ning Anzhi again, there was already a lot of admiration in their eyes.

Xu Mingyuan listened to Ning Anzhi's words, but his brows furrowed slightly, and after listening for a while, he smiled and shook his head.

Fang Tingyan just looked at him, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't speak at this time.

Ning Anzhi's words, the rhetoric is gorgeous, quoting scriptures, and indeed the head of what he says is the Tao, it can be seen that he is well-read and knowledgeable.

This kind of talk, on paper, is definitely a first-class strategy, no wonder this person will be known as one of the four great talents of Chang'an, and he does have his true talent and learning.

However, what he said was a bit empty in Xu Mingyuan's eyes, although opening his mouth was the words of a sage, absorbing all the essence of Huayi's distinction in the past dynasties and turning it into his own use. However, what he said rarely touched on the powerful countries around Dawan today, and the small countries that submitted to Dawan.

Ning Anzhi focused on the words of the sage and explained the difference between Huayi in detail, so that some scholars in the audience who didn't know much about it suddenly realized. Moreover, he put forward some of his own views, and his words were rigorous and his thinking was clear, which can indeed be called a good argument.

Even those Zihuang Gongqing who were sitting on the chair were also many people who nodded frequently, and their eyes looking at Ning Anzhi were also quite appreciative.

"Huayi's distinction has existed since ancient times, if Zhuyi can learn etiquette and righteousness, it can be accommodated as Hua, if not, then it is Yi, do not approach." Ning Anzhi ended with this, saluted again, and then sat down.

There was silence in the audience, and then there was warm applause, and some of the students of Guozijian were even more excited, proud of Ning Anzhi.

"Senior Brother Ning is really extraordinary, he deserves to be called the four great talents of Chang'an, if it weren't for the absence of him and Senior Brother Bailiyu some time ago, how could Baimolou be so easy to pick our six academies." Not far behind Xu Mingyuan, a scholar wearing the uniform of the Guozi Prison said with some admiration.

"That's it, isn't that Baimo Lou from a remote barbarian land like Jiannan Dao, I want to see what he will say about today's Huayi distinction, is it possible that he still wants to justify the name of the barbarian?" A disciple of the Guozijian beside him is also Ying Hedao.

"Haha, that's interesting...... another person interjected.

When Xu Mingyuan heard this, his face was slightly gloomy, but he didn't look back at the two of them. You don't have to think about it to know that the other Guozijian students are probably also talking about Bai Molou in similar words at this time, and it seems that Bai Molou entered Chang'an this time to pick up the six major academies, which still caused public anger.

Fang Tingyan looked at Xu Mingyuan, then glanced at the Baimo Building in the northwest corner, where he was sitting with a natural expression, and nodded thoughtfully.

The discussion in the audience was still enthusiastic, and the ministers sitting on the stage were also talking softly, with no intention of stopping it at all.

After a long while, the priest stood up, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly: "Can anyone be willing to make a second argument?" ”

"Student Bai Liyu, I am willing to make a second debate." Bai Liyu, who was wearing a cyan Guozi prison uniform beside Ning Anzhi, got up and said loudly, like a bell, loud and loud.
