Chapter 582: The Debate of the Merchants
However, Qin Ke didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Brother Bai, why are you here? I heard that all the people sitting on this floor are nobles with status and status, what's the matter, you have been promoted?"
"Promotion?" Brother Qin laughed. Bai Qi was stunned, then shook his head and laughed a few times, and said: "The ink man has never been greedy for power, since he swore to become the ink master, then in this life, we are only rangers who walk the world." I really can't stand the word 'noble'. However, although the Mo family faction has declined now, after all, the giant is in power, as the Mo family, we always have some privileges in the Mo family, and the Ji Shang Palace has always reserved some seats for us people. β
"Brother Bai is a high-spirited and bright festival. Gao Yishui smiled faintly and nodded to say hello to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi immediately bowed his hand and saluted back: "Mr. Gao is too famous, I just stick to my heart, back then, the ink man walked the world, resisted the invasion of power for all countries, and after the fact, he also categorically rejected the high-ranking officials and returned to Jicheng, those predecessors are really worthy of respect." β
"They are them, in my opinion, Brother Bai, you are not much worse than them. Qin Ke showed a sincere smile.
met Bai Qi by chance, and Qin Ke respected him very much along the way. He felt that Bai Qi, a person who regarded money as dung and power as nothing, was the real chic and chivalrous person in the world, but how many people in this world could do it? Not only that, but he also walked the world all the year round, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and even almost lost his life several times.
Bai Qi sighed and shook his head slightly, obviously he didn't agree with Qin Ke's "worship", but he didn't plan to continue talking about this topic. While refilling the tea for Qin Ke and the four of them very politely, he glanced at Abu with a sad face, a little surprised, but he didn't ask, only lightly introduced: "Today's debate should not be underestimated, you are just in time to catch up with this one." β
"What do you mean?" Qin Ke was a little puzzled, "Is there any difference between this debate and the past?"
"Of course there are differences. Bai Qi looked at the fierce argument downstairs and replied: "Just a few days ago, Master Sun Boling Sun gave a recital, to the effect that there are still many cruxes in the Mo family court, and we should vigorously promote new ones to change the law and rectify the dynasty...... Although there have been such tables in the past, but in those cases, the giant either directly knocked the table back, or directly reprimanded him sharply and did not discuss. β
"Who would have thought that this time the giant took the recital on the spot, but he didn't say anything immediately, and then acted as if nothing had happened......"
I heard that since the death of General Wang, the giant has gone to General Wang's old residence many times, and stayed for most of the day...... Consideration has already begun to be given to the timing and specifics of the change. β
Speaking of this, Bai Qi took a sip of tea, as if he was pondering: "But everyone knows that changing the law is a big thing, and it is not easy, once the law is really changed, there will undoubtedly be a storm above the Mo family's court, I don't know how many people will be annihilated in this storm, but I don't know how many people will take advantage of this east wind to soar up......"
Gao Yishui nodded, put down the teacup and clapped his hands and smiled: "I understand, this controversy, on the surface, is just a debate, but in fact it has become a battlefield for the old school and the new school to test each other, of course, more importantly, they want to test how firm your giant's heart is to change the law through this kind of debate, so as to decide what to do next." β
"Mr. Gao is really powerful, if you have the heart to be an official, you will definitely rise step by step. Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but admire.
Gao Yishui shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said: "If I can sleep until three poles a day, without a director, and with beautiful women and wine every day, then I am willing to consider doing this official." β
Bai Qi knew that he was joking, how could there be pure pleasure in this world without the official position of a director?
Gao Yishui looked around at the curtains upstairs and downstairs, the lazy look on his face gradually faded, and said slowly: "I think that the nobles on the second and third floors should all be famous in the court, although they are hidden behind the curtains and do not show up to speak, they should have been fighting for a long time in secret." The next debate may be more lively than expected. β
Qin Ke looked at the few seats in the hall who were talking loudly, and couldn't help frowning, feeling more and more that the affairs of the temple were complicated and profound, which really sent chills down the spineβif he lived in the court, I was afraid that it wouldn't be long before he would die without a place to bury, right?
He suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked Bai Qi: "Then what is Brother Bai doing this time?" I remember you said before that the Mo people are not involved in government politics and do not join the party struggle, right?"
Bai nodded from the beginning: "The ink artist is not involved in the government, but the affairs of the Mo family have always been inextricably linked to our ink family, so we have to come and take a look." Of course, this is only one and the other...... Because I'm tracking down someone. β
"Track down someone?" Cai Yan, who was drinking tea, didn't interject all the time, and couldn't wait, and asked curiously, "Who are you going to track down?"
Bai Qi was about to open his mouth to answer, but the increasingly fierce argument downstairs interrupted the conversation between the two of them.
"Change the law? The question is how to change the law, and whose method is used?" A young student in a plain gray robe stood in the center of the hall with a solemn face.
This question is exactly what everyone wants to ask but dare not ask.
In fact, for the court, the change of the law is not the second, the chaos of the Mojia dynasty and politics, the world is rare, among which the Confucian school respected by the master and the law school respected by the doctor each accounted for seventy percent, and the remaining three percent followed the old system of the previous dynasty, and other hundred princes, which caused the fierce and very fierce court competition today.
If the old tycoon had been determined to govern the country with the words of one family from the beginning, maybe there would not be so many arguments now, naturally...... If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Ji to go to school to have today's atmosphere.
But now, the giant has the intention to change the law, and which one to really choose to advocate governing the country has become the top priority, which is not only an academic dispute, but also a struggle for power.
"Nature is the way of kingship. The gray-clothed student's voice fell, and someone immediately took over the conversation, and a student with a resolute face stood up and said coldly: "In the world of great contention, people's hearts are in turmoil, and everyone wants to hold a three-foot sword to win the world, just because the monarch is unclear. It is precisely because of this that we should be upright, clear and ministerial, education-oriented, and benevolence and righteousness as the key link, so as to open peace for all generations. If the king is virtuous and the people are polite, why can't he stabilize the world? Wasn't it because the holy king was benevolent to the world that he was able to continue the dynasty for a thousand years?"
"Good!" was just the first sentence of the opening line, which was categorical, and there were still people cheering in the full crowd.
Qin Ke also looked at this person curiously, and asked softly, "Who is this person?" It seems that the voice is very high. β
Bai Qi smiled slightly and said, "This is one of Master Zhong's disciples, his surname is Zeng, and his single name is a public opinion, so he naturally has a high voice. However, in my opinion, the person who is playing against him is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the Legalist celebrity Shen Dao, even the Shang doctor is also appreciative. β
"Hmm. Qin Ke replied vaguely, but he didn't care much about who Doctor Shang was, he only guessed that this person was probably the leader of one of the Mo family's factions, but whether it was Master Zhong or Doctor Shang, it seemed too far away for him.
It's just that he has a good impression of this disciple of Master Zhong, after all, the uncles and aunts in Daoxiang Village said that it was precisely because Master Zhong asked for a mission and took his disciples all the way to the south to help the victims that many of them survived, and now there is Daoxiang Village.
Although Qin Ke was rescued by his master Zhuge Wolong, he has lived in Daoxiang Village with his master for many years, and he is very close to the uncles and aunts in the village, and he has long regarded them as his family.
However, Shen Dao, who was facing Zeng Yu's direct rivalry, would definitely not have Qin Ke's emotion, so he took a step forward, smiled mockingly and said: "Back then, the Holy King did have benevolence, but after all, thousands of years have passed away, and if it weren't for the fact that the descendants of the Holy King were still virtuous, they could support the overall situation." But with the power of a virtuous man to govern the country in this way, is it possible that today we can still hope that the Holy King will come back from the dead and be benevolent to the world?"
"The power of a virtuous person is better than the severe punishment that your legalists say, right?" Zeng Yu sneered.
Shen Dao was calm, and his words were relaxed: "Then I will talk about the Holy King's Dynasty in your mouth." Although the Dynasty of the Holy King is indeed a long country, there are thousands of years, but this thousand years are divided into two sections, the first four hundred years, the Dynasty of the Holy King is naturally the peak of national strength, looking around the universe is unmatched. β
He looked at the light in Zeng Yu's eyes, but changed his words: "But in the next six hundred years, the descendants of the Holy King are not good, not only the great power has fallen into the hands of the powerful ministers, but the feudal lords from all over the country have risen one after another, dividing the world into dozens of pieces, and disputes are continuous. β
Someone can't help but want to speak: "I ......"
"Wait, wait until I'm done. Shen Daoyi waved his hand and said: "Mr. Zeng admires the Holy King's Dynasty so much, but the Holy King's Dynasty you admire, for the next six hundred years, it is almost all surviving. Dare to ask Mr. Zeng, you are familiar with the annals of history, you don't know this, right?"
In the Taixue Hall, there was a burst of cheers again, but this time it was no longer Confucian students, but a Legalist faction.
