Chapter 599: Debate in front of the palace

But no matter how worried Dongfang Bai was, no matter how bad the situation felt for the three of them.

  Now that the arrow is on the line, I have to send it!

  After announcing the start of the debate, Kong Daoyi saw that Xun Junming, who was useless, was afraid that he was going to defect directly, so he simply spoke first, after all, he was far inferior to Meng Xiucheng in terms of status.

  "There is no fault in the ancient law, and there is no evil in etiquette." Kong Daoyi opened his mouth and said: "There will be no mistakes in imitating the ancient times, and there will be no evil deeds in following the ancient rituals. Since ancient times, there has been no need for such a strange thing as punctuation, and the etiquette has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

  "Different religions in previous lives, what is the ancient law? If the emperor doesn't get back to each other, what's the reason?"

  Lin Xianyu said proudly: "If everyone follows the so-called old rites and old systems, then how can there be a prosperous Great Chu Dynasty today?" ”

  ……

  Several people debated fiercely around this old ritual and whether the old system should be followed for a long time, and finally they found that this Lin Xianyu had a deeper understanding of the essence of the scriptures than they had experienced.

  is more familiar with the four books and five classics than them, and all kinds of tricky angles can't embarrass Lin Xianyu, and finally gave up debating the old system with Lin Xianyu.

  "We're just here for punctuation, so let's not talk about other topics, right?"

  Meng Xiucheng said stupidly, he found that after studying for decades, he couldn't compare to a woman's proficiency in memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics, and his face was not good-looking.

  Lin Xianyu didn't know what Meng Xiucheng thought, if he knew, he would only smile contemptuously, how could they compare with themselves who had never forgotten and accepted the information explosion?

  However, Lin Xianyu heard Meng Xiucheng's words, and he also pulled the topic back from the good flow.

  "However, this is just a small change for me, and it can't rise to this level at all, and I just invented punctuation to make it easier for everyone to read the article without ambiguity."

  Lin Xianyu didn't want to talk about the old system with these people anymore, for fear that if he continued to tear it off, he would come up with a few rebellious words.

  "But since ancient times there has been no so-called punctuation, and it has not caused any ambiguity, so what is there to look at with so many strange symbols on a perfect scroll?"

  Xun Junming also said: "Your punctuation marks are simply grandstanding and useless!" ”

  "Yes, the law of the ancestors cannot be violated, let alone the writing that has been passed down from ancient times, how can it be changed? It's just unreasonable, and she deserves to be the daughter of a businessman. ”

  Meng Xiucheng then said that he had already looked down on the Shangjia family and the woman.

  "The status of businessmen in the former dynasty was the ninth rate, and they couldn't participate in the imperial examination at all, and women were virtuous if they were not talented, and the daughters of businessmen like Miss Lin were even more low-status, so what qualifications did they have to criticize words."

  "The inheritance of words is a matter of national system, how can you allow a woman to talk nonsense here?"

  Meng Xiucheng's words aroused the approval of a large number of people.

  But Lin Xianyu was angered by Meng Xiucheng's words!

  "The Holy Ancestor did not list the family of merchants as the lower ninth rate, but encouraged everyone to do business and hide the wealth from the people, Mr. Meng's words, but questioned the ancestors?" Lin Xianyu said loudly.

  "Naturally, I didn't question the Holy Ancestor, but the woman is an ignorant person after all, how can she interfere with the important matter of the inheritance of words?"
