"In this regard, I can only say that ignorance has blinded your eyes and ignorance has imprisoned your soul!" Xu Yi said slowly.

In fact, not only Gongsun Linglong, but most of the people present did not believe Xu Yi's remarks.

There are only a few real people of insight, the leaders of this era, who are thoughtful and seem to have gained.

For example, the sage Chu Nangong, the future sage Zhang Liang, and the Confucian second master Yan Lu who sat and forgot to do nothing.

"Hmph, you actually say that my grandson Linglong is ignorant!" Gongsun Linglong said angrily.

"Isn't it? Then I ask you, since you know the sunrise and sunset.

Where does the day come out and where does it fall? Xu Yi asked.

"This?"

When Gongsun Linglong heard this, her head suddenly froze, because at this moment she realized that she hadn't really thought about this problem herself.

This sunrise and sunset is a common imagination in life, which has existed since ancient times, and people are accustomed to it.

It seems that it is as it should be, but no one seems to have ever delved into the principle of what it is.

"If the sun hangs in the sky, it should come from the earth and set down from the sky!"

Gongsun Linglong said hesitantly, the only time she felt a lack of confidence.

Because even she thought this answer was nonsense, but she still said it.

"And what is this day?" A mysterious smile appeared on Xu Yi's face.

"Pangu Zhi also said: The qi of the pure person rises to the sky." Gongsun Linglong replied.

"Then let me ask you again, is the world we live in round or square." Xu Yi said.

"The sky is round." Gongsun Linglong said four words, and seemed to be very determined.

"Then tell me, who brought it up in the round world." Xu Yi asked.

"Naturally, it was handed down by the ancestors?"

Gongsun Linglong replied, gently shaking the beauty folding fan in the palm of her hand, but suddenly seemed to think of something, and her face changed suddenly.

"This seat asks you where the sun rises and where does the sun set, and you derive it from the descriptions of your predecessors, which can also be regarded as the words of the ancestors.

This seat asked you again about the round sky, and your answer is still the words of the ancestors.

Which one is the answer you came up with on your own. Xu Yi said, his face became more and more calm.

"There will be mistakes in the words of the ancestors, and if they are wrong, how can they be passed down to the present.

Since Brother Taichu denied the words of the ancestors, then our heaven and earth are not round places, so what is it? Gongsun Linglong asked.

"The heaven and earth in which we live are naturally round and spheres." Xu Yi said indifferently.

"What about the evidence?" Gongsun Linglong asked.

"If the earth were square, it would be flat. On the unified horizon, standing by the sea, when we look at the sailboat in the distance, do we look at the bow first, or the rail pole that we wear? Xu Yi said.

"Naturally, I saw the bow first!" Gongsun Linglong said without thinking about it.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, his face changed greatly, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally his face showed a complicated expression, and he said:

"Brother Taichu is high, and Gongsun Linglong admires it."

When the debate came here, in fact, most of the people present had already shown their faces, and everyone who could enter Xiaosheng Xianzhuang was not stupid.

As Prime Minister Li Si said, all of you here are well-educated people, people who are knowledgeable and truly learned.

Xu Yi's example is easy to understand, on the same level, on the distant sea, generally speaking, what you see is the bow of the ship.

But is that really the case? The sky is round and the earth is horizontal, if the ground is square.

It stands to reason that the whole body of the ship should be seen, just as two people are standing at the same height and looking at each other, and it is natural to see each other's faces.

If the ground is square, what we see on the surface of the sea is undoubtedly the whole ship.

And the railpole sails soared into the sky and sailed towards the sea. In a dazzling position, it is natural to see it at a glance.

But what we see is the bow of the ship, not the rails and sails, and the theorem that the heavens are round is naturally self-defeating.

If the sky is round, what we see is the rails and sails, but the actual thing is the bow of the ship, and then the cultivation becomes clear in our eyes until the whole body of the ship is finally in the bottom of the eye.

That's why Gongsun Linglong will admit defeat by herself, and her skills are not as good as others.

Because she herself admitted the result, seeing the bow of the ship first, doesn't it mean that the sky is round and the place is wrong, and the truth left by the ancestors is not all right.

He is not a mediocre person, so he naturally reacted quickly and understood what Xu Yi meant, and he could only admit defeat and be irrefutable.

The Great Hall of Confucianism and Taoism fell silent for a while, because everyone was shocked and subverted by this kind of scholarship.

"Smack, smack, smack......"

Suddenly, there was a round of applause in the hall, the sound was not loud, but it was unusually loud, this was the applause of Xiangguo Li Si.

"Mr. Taichu, very knowledgeable, Li Si admires. Such a simple daily anecdote expounds the profound truth of heaven and earth.

If this theory is spread today, Mr. Taichu will definitely be famous all over the world and planted in the annals of my Great Qin. Lees said.

After listening to Li Si's words, everyone present clapped their hands and applauded, and their eyes showed respect.

If there are descendants who prove Xu Yi's two inferences, and also confirm the accuracy.

If it is proved that our world is not the center of the universe, then the scorching sun is.

Our world only revolves around it according to a predetermined orbit, and at the same time as it rotates, there will be sunrise and sunset, day and night.

If later generations use other methods, it is wrong to make a round sky, but it is really a sphere.

If these two assumptions are indeed accurate, then the person who made these two assertions.

I don't want to be comparable to the ancient sages, but at least I can be remembered for centuries and admired by future generations.

After that, the feast continued. Everyone is a scholar and has discussed knowledge, but it is not like the-for-tat at the beginning.

After some discussion, the wine passed three rounds. During this period, Li Si also intentionally or unintentionally threw an olive branch to Xu Yi, trying to hope that talents like Xu Yi would join the empire and serve the empire.

It's just that Xu Yi is not interested in these, and his attitude is extremely cold, turning a blind eye to them and ignoring them.

Seeing this, Li Si didn't force it, he is also a person with a head and a face, and he will not talk about his worth.

For a politician like him, it's either a friend or an enemy.

At the end of the banquet, Li Si didn't stay long and left in a hurry.

Fu Nian, as the head of Confucianism, naturally wanted to send Li Si in person, and sent Li Si away, Fu Nian came to the lake and the curved bridge, walked in front of Xu Yi, and said with a slight arch:

"Fu Nian, thank you Mr. Taichu for relieving Confucianism of this siege!"

followed by two people, Yan Lu, the second master of Xiaoshengxian Village, and Zhang Liang, the third leader.

"Confucian Yan Lu, Confucian Zhang Liang, I have seen Mr. Taichu."

Yan Lu and Zhang Liang tidied up their cuffs slightly, and the two said at the same time.

Xu Yi is an untraceable observation of the two, both of whom are extraordinary.

Especially Zhang Liang, the sage of later generations, whether it is a Mohist or a Confucian;

It is also the later farmer, and the last Chu and Han hegemony, all have their shadows, all of which leave a bright legend.

Therefore, in addition to the title of seeking saints, Zhang Liang also has another nickname, which is called; "Stirring sticks".
