This time, the question is a repeated question. The main objects of questions and answers, usually speaking, are nine envoys from the three parties, plus He Ying and the two of them, plus two princesses.

That's the highlight of the evening. This kind of questioning is usually carried out in a very harmonious situation. After asking about sadness, it's the performance time of Si Niang and other dancing girls. After their performance, it was sword time.

In short, the most comfortable time of the evening has passed. Soon, it's time to prepare for battle.

He Ying experienced this kind of scene for the first time, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She looked at Zhou Yuan, and saw that he was also sitting in a serious position, with a serious expression, and her heart was relieved, it seemed that she was not the only one who was nervous.

As Zhou Jun announced the beginning of the question, the chimes immediately played. In the melodious sound of the chime, the seventh princess also walked out from behind and sat in her place. And in the hall, more than a dozen people came in one after another.

After the chime rang once, the number of people was almost complete. When the chimes rang again, everyone fell silent. After the third sound, there was a long silence in the hall.

After a period of silence, Zhou Jun slowly stood up and understood. His gaze swept over everyone's faces. In the silence, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, today's questions are also in accordance with the previous precedents. There is only one question that Lone wants to ask, and that is what is the way to govern the king. ”

After he said this, he sat down. He Ying stared at Zhou Jun for a moment, and secretly thought in his heart: I really can't see that this old man is quite open-minded, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he is seeking a way to govern the country.

Thinking like this, Zhou Yuan, who was sitting on the side, said slowly: "He Yu, this is the theme of the Six Nations Banquet. Almost as soon as the six countries start a banquet, they must begin with this topic. Now think about how to answer. ”

When He Ying heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said softly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I'm so prepared. ”

Zhou Yuan looked at her and said, "Although this question is a theme, it is a big and unified one. The real questions have to be asked by the envoys who are good at asking difficult questions. ”

He Ying snorted.

At this moment, another chime rang. A eunuch stood next to Zhou Junzhi and screamed, "Please reply to the envoy of the Xia Kingdom!" ”

As soon as the eunuch's voice fell, among the envoys of the Xia Kingdom, the delicate and white young man Wen Cheng stood up. He walked out of the collapse where he was sitting and gave Zhou Jun a deep look. He took a few more steps forward until he was three meters in front of the temple before stopping.

When he reached the front and back of the hall, he turned and stood facing the crowd. After scanning the crowd, he said in a deep voice: "For the sake of learning, for the Tao is losing day by day, and the loss is being lost, so that there is no action." Doing nothing and doing nothing, taking the world often has nothing to do, and it has something to do, which is not enough to take the world. ‘

The ancient sage said: Follow others in everything, do more and more things day by day, follow the Tao in everything, do less and less things day by day, and finally achieve inaction. In other words, the Tao is natural, so nature should do nothing, and people should imitate the Tao. Let everything develop and change by itself, and inaction becomes inaction. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, turned to the prince of Chengguo and asked, "Dare to ask Chengling Gongzi, this is your Chengguo's governing code." Not bad, right? ”

Cheng Ling stood up, smiled slightly and said, "Not bad! ”

At this time, Zhou Yuan next to him muttered softly: "It's really interesting, the first question is actually the first question, it is Xia Guo vs. Cheng Guo!" He looked at Shang He Ying suspiciously, and explained in a low voice: "Chengguo believes in governing the country with Taoism. The Xia Kingdom, on the other hand, believed in the rule of law. ”

Wen Cheng smiled again, took half a step forward, looked at Cheng Ling and said: "Dare to ask Cheng Gongzi, since the country of Gongzi thinks that people still have to do nothing, why should they send envoys to the Zhou country?" Why not go with the flow, rule by inaction, and care who the princess of Zhou Guo marries? ”

Hearing him say this, there was a soft laugh from the table. But the laughter was almost entirely made by women. One by one, the ladies couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard him say something funny.

The men were still expressionless. Na Cheng Ling's face did not change, and he said slowly: "Mr. Wen's words are bad! Conform to nature and rule by inaction. That's the general direction. It's overall. There are many things in the world, and between heaven and earth, there is a yin and yang order. We can just go with the flow. However, between all things, there is no harmony, and it is difficult and easy to combine. The invisible Tao gives rise to all things tangible. Mr. doesn't seem to know much about my Taoist teachings, and doesn't know that wuwei is just the source, and that doing is to achieve wuwei. ”

He said it while he was doing something, and for a while, He Ying was a little dizzy. She glanced at Wen Cheng and found that he was also standing on the ground and muttering.

Cheng Ling didn't speak for a while when he saw him. couldn't help but smile slightly, raised his voice and said, "Mr. Wen, I also have something I want to ask Mr. below." ”

Hearing his rhetorical question, many people leaned forward slightly and listened intently. I saw Cheng Ling say loudly: "You Xia Guo have always trusted the legalists. Not long ago, the prince of He Yu who was here once said that the rule of the Legalist family is just a tyrant of two generations. But I don't know if you Xia Guo have come up with a way to deal with it? Your Legalists use their tactics to rule with severe punishment and strict laws, and they do not distinguish between relatives and relatives, nor do they distinguish between the noble and the lowly, and have you changed your idea of breaking off the law? ”

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked, and everyone looked at Cheng Ling in disbelief, and He Ying was even startled. She didn't expect it, so she just said a few words, and it immediately ripped it on herself!

Looking at Shang Chengling's indifferent and calm smiling face, He Ying suddenly had a headache. To be honest, she only has a general understanding of these political thoughts, and it is okay to say something vague, but it is far from good if she really wants to fight with her tongue.

He Ying didn't know that the words about law and etiquette that she said last time were the most important and important question among the six countries today. Since then, almost all formal and informal questions have been based on this.

It's all a clash of ideas, and it's a subversive clash of ideas. Cheng Ling used this at the beginning, but it was not aimed at her!

Wen Cheng's face changed. He didn't speak for a long time. He Ying's words last time were already a master-level judgment in the realm of perfection, whether it was to deny it or refute it, among the six countries, there was not a single reasonable argument until now. How could he answer that?

*******

It's hard to remember, but it's hard to write, especially for someone like me who has no political qualities. This chapter is very painfully written.

Friends, for the sake of my hard work, please vote for a monthly pass! (I don't know how others ask for a monthly pass, why don't I see the monthly pass increase?) ）
