At this time, there were already more than 300 academy students standing on the wide stone flat, and there were many others who came one after another, mostly in groups of three or five, chatting and discussing in low voices.

The sun is getting higher, and although there are a few tall ancient trees next to the stone lawn, none of the students stand under the trees to enjoy the shade, which shows that the rules of the college are indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Besides, Zhou Binjie knew that he was not Bai Molou's opponent, so he directly ignored his ridicule, turned to look at Xu Mingyuan and asked with a smile: "Brother Yuan, you have to take the first place today, I am ready for all the money." ”

Xu Mingyuan nodded, and said confidently: "This is naturally no problem, you two will take care of the silver, and see how I talk to the students of the academy." ”

"Don't boast first, let's not mention that Zheng Zhi has won the first place in the debate three times in a row, and Wang Ziqi has also won the first place several times. The 400 students of the academy are all famous and famous, and there are many people who can speak well. Bai Molou shook the jade fan in his hand lightly, and said in a cold voice.

"It's true that the academy is full of talents, but I said Xiaobai, you, the prime minister who died as a Wenzheng, how many times have you won the first place in this debate? If you want me to say, then Zheng Zhi and Wang Ziqi are not enough to see in front of you. Xu Mingyuan nodded, looked at Bai Molou with some confusion and asked.

"Brother Yuan, you guessed right, two years ago, he was really the leader in the first debate in the academy. From the age of thirteen to sixteen, he won the first place in the debate for three consecutive years, and his reputation was so great that I heard that even the Guozijian in Chang'an was shocked. That Wang Ziqi was defeated in front of him in a few words, so Zheng Zhi was afraid that he couldn't even speak. Zhou Binjie sighed, and there was a bit of admiration between his words.

Bai Molou shook the jade fan lightly, and he was not shocked by honor and disgrace, and it really had a bit of the meaning of taoguang and obscurity.

"Two years ago? If Xiaobai is really so powerful, then how did Wang Ziqi and Zheng Zhi win the first place in the past two years? Xu Mingyuan was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Bai Molou to be so strong, but after thinking about it, he asked with some doubts.

"Hehe, what's ...... this" Zhou Binjie glanced at Bai Molou, whose hand shaking the fan was slightly stiff, leaned closer to Xu Mingyuan, and laughed quietly: "Two years ago, the female devil was born in the debate, and directly won five games in a row in Baimolou, he was disheartened, and he no longer spoke out in the debate, so Wang Ziqi and Zheng Zhi had a chance to win the first place." ”

Xu Mingyuan looked at Bai Molou with some pity, and sighed softly: "Women know martial arts and literature, it's really a misfortune for heaven and a man." Zhou Binjie nodded again and again, expressing deep sympathy.

Bai Molou put away the jade fan, looked at the two of them with a cold face, and said coldly: "Zeng Qingyi is indeed unique about debate, and I have nothing to say if I lose to her." But you two big men, you were caught up and down by a little girl, and you are embarrassed to complain? ”

Xu Mingyuan stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Binjie, who still wanted to argue, and changed the topic and asked: "I see that there are a few carriages parked at the gate of the academy, how can there be so many big people in a debate?" ”

Bai Molou nodded, and said in a cold voice: "The situation in the southwest has been a little tense recently, and Nanzhao and Tubo are eye-catching, I'm afraid this debate is related to this matter." The history of the high thorn is here today, most of which is undoubted. ”

"Nanzhao?" Xu Mingyuan frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "Nanzhao is supported by Dawan, if he hadn't been forced to be in a hurry, he would definitely not have fallen to Tubo." ”

Bai Molou bowed slightly, and just wanted to speak, a melodious bell rang, and the noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and Bai Molou stopped talking.

Xu Mingyuan looked over, and the crowd parted ways, and Dean Zeng Kuan, who was dressed in a cyan robe, and a thin middle-aged man wearing a round neck shirt in purple Ayaluo were side by side. Behind them were three or four officials dressed in silk and satin robes, followed by several highly respected teachers of the academy, and Wang Luqi was among them.

The students of the academy fanned around the old kui tree, and Zeng Kuan and his party walked straight to the old kui tree and stood in front of the chair. Zeng Kuan looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Today's sun is scorching, I am very pleased that you can abide by the rules of the academy." ”

The students of the academy were silent, but they all had a little self-satisfaction on their faces, this is the self-confidence of Chongzhou Academy, and it is also the arrogance of the Jiannan Dao Academy.

Xu Mingyuan's eyes fell on the middle-aged man in the purple robe, this should be the Shuzhou Thorn History, the purple robe can only be worn by officials above the third grade, and there is no third-grade master in Shuzhou City except for the high thorn history.

Shuzhou has always been a little special in Jiannan Road, with the title of Shu in Shu, and the officials who have been in Shuzhou over the years are generally not too bad.

Gao Kuo has been in office for three years, is an upright official, has made great achievements, and is quite loved in Shuzhou. Xu Mingyuan had seen it from afar a few times before, and he was not impressed by this Lord Thorn Shi, who always had a smile on the corner of his mouth and deep eyes.

Zeng Kuan paused and continued: "The major event of defending the country is the right given to the scholars by the Holy Father today, and this is also to prepare for your major national affairs in the future. ”

"There is no trivial matter in the country, and the court can speak widely and listen to the words of the world's scholars, which is a blessing for the country and a blessing for the world's scholars."

"Monthly debates, if there is something to say, the academy should record all of them and hand them over to the post station to present to Chang'an."

"The top 10 students in the college are rewarded. Today, the history of the high thorn and all the adults are here, and the judgment is naturally fair and fair. ”

"Okay, all the beings sit on the ground, and Lin Jiaoxi will read out the topic of today's debate, and today's debate will begin."

Zeng Kuan waved his hand and motioned for all beings to sit down, and then sat down with Gao Kuo and the others.

After the officials and teachers sat down, the students of the academy also sat down one after another, slightly separated from each other, and did not appear to be chaotic.

Xu Mingyuan glanced at Zeng Qingyi, who was sitting at the front, just hiding in the shade of a tree, shaking a folding fan in his hand, looking complacent.

Zeng Fuzi's love for this granddaughter is well known to everyone, and Zeng Qingyi was already pampered in the academy, so she hid in the shade of a tree and no one said anything.

Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a little funny when he thought of this little goblin fighting all beings and bowing his head and admitting defeat when Bai Molou, a cold-faced scholar with a proud body, said.

And Zeng Qingyi also found Xu Mingyuan in the crowd, and when he saw him, he raised the corners of his mouth proudly.

Xu Mingyuan and the three of them sat next to each other, and I don't know if it was because of Xu Mingyuan's notoriety, or because of Baimolou's rejection, or because of Zhou Binjie's smiling poison, anyway, there were a few vacant seats next to the three of them, which seemed a little abrupt.

However, the three of them are not thin-skinned, and they feel that there are fewer people around, which can be a little more cool.

Xu Mingyuan sat a little closer to the White Ink Building, and asked softly in a suppressed voice, "Can this debate go straight to the sky?" ”

Bai Molou leaned a little to the side, a few points away from Xu Mingyuan, and nodded: "The best debaters in the month will be recorded by the academy, and then sent to Chang'an together with the state emergency newspapers." However, it is not directly presented to the imperial study, but by the national eunuch first, and then the best one is presented to the imperial study. Moreover, although there are many Dawan Academies, in addition to Guozijian and Chang'an Eight Academies, there are only more than ten academies in the rest of the provinces that have this honor. ”

Xu Mingyuan nodded, it seems that Chongzhou Academy does have its proud capital, he has mixed into the academy so easily, no wonder Wang Luqi's old hunchback would make fun of him. In this way, it seems that he really should get a good ranking above this debate, otherwise Zeng Fuzi will inevitably be gossiped about.

Zeng Kuan and the others sat down, and the two low tables were also sitting at this time at this time, and it seemed that they should be recording the remarks of all living beings.

Lin Chong is the teacher of the subject of "Books" in the college, and in the year of the sixtieth year, his hair is white, and he is quite respected by the students. Lin Jiaoxi was in good spirits, and stood and waited until the students were seated before he said loudly: "Today's debate, with the battle and peace of the Southern Zhao Rebellion as the topic of debate, the Southern Zhao has been under the support of Dawan since thirty years ago, and the five edicts, subdued the barbarians, refused to Tibet, and since then have been attached to Dawan.

However, today, Nanzhao is becoming more and more arrogant, and it is an unforgivable crime to unite with Bai Barbarians to block the construction of the city and the construction of Butou Road, and kill the Zhulin Qian, who built the city. Now Nanzhao asked the imperial court to apologize to the white barbarians to understand this matter, what do the beings think, and there is a good way to solve it? ”

Lin Jiaoxi paused slightly, spread his hands and said loudly: "All living beings can speak freely, even if what they say is wrong, no one will blame you." If what you say can be heard directly to the sky, wouldn't it be a step to the sky? ”

As soon as Lin Jiaoxi's voice fell, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, although they all lowered their voices, but hundreds of people were here, and it still seemed a little noisy.

Lin Jiaoxi sat down with a smile, and did not say anything to quiet the beings. And Zeng Fuzi, Gao Tingshi and the others also talked softly, pointing and nodding from time to time to the students sitting cross-legged below.

Xu Mingyuan gave Bai Molou a thumbs up and sighed: "Xiaobai, this can be guessed by you, it is indeed the person who won the first place in the debate for three consecutive years." ”

"Before autumn, Beili generally does not go south to plunder, recently Tubo is busy with the westward expedition, and the land of Silla projectile can't set off any wind and waves, so Nanzhao moves frequently, and Dawan has friction. It's not hard to guess what to argue this time. Bai Molou shook the jade fan lightly and said indifferently.

"It's not that your family can let you know more, how can ordinary people know the trends of various countries, you say yes, Brother Yuan." Zhou Binjie sneered, carrying a big fan and fanning hard, the sweat still soaked the hospital uniform.

Xu Mingyuan ignored Zhou Binjie's words, pondered for a while before looking at Bai Molou and asked, "Dawan and Nanzhao have been friends for decades, do you think the imperial court wants to fight or make peace this time?" ”

"The imperial court and Nanzhao looked at each other, Nanzhao's hand wanted to stretch to the north, and the imperial court wanted to build a peaceful city, and opened the first road to restrain Nanzhao and Tubo. Both sides have plans, whether it is war or peace, only in one thought. Bai Molou also directly ignored Zhou Binjie's words, frowned and thought about it before he spoke.
