This time Li Fengyun's retreat did not last long, two hours later, Li Fengyun opened his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said to Gongsun Wuwu: "Go back to the city, this time is much more complicated than I imagined, I'm afraid it won't be solved in a while." There's a lot going on in the city, and you can't stay here all the time. ”

Many people will mistakenly think that Li Fengyun may not be so concerned about the so-called "Theory of Equality", and attending for a day to show his attitude is just not too much impact, and may also bring all kinds of unexpected benefits to Fengyunwei.

Gongsun Wuwu will not appear for a long time, although it is supported by Hua Jieyu, but after all, Sister Hua is a female streamer, and her reputation is not good, and Gongsun Wuwu's appearance last night has made many people regard him as the leader of the theory of equality, and his absence for a long time will make those who are interested in the theory of equality cold. Moreover, the absence of the top two figures of the Yiwu Army will inevitably make people wonder if something big happened in Dingzhou. This is obviously not good for the stability of Dingzhou.

Therefore, Gongsun Wuwu did not insist, and the two quickly returned to Dingzhou City. In order to stabilize people's hearts, although it was already afternoon, Li Fengyun still accompanied Gongsun Wuwu to participate in the rest of the day's lingering debate.

What Li Fengyun didn't expect was that this day's debate was even more exciting and surprising than yesterday's.

Yesterday's defeat at the Lingering Garden feast made the scholars who came to Dingzhou realize that it was almost impossible to challenge and defeat their opponents single-handedly. Therefore, last night, scholars from all walks of life unanimously formed twenty or thirty groups, and turned over the pamphlet "On Equality" that was sent to them, and searched for the mistakes and omissions in it overnight, and formulated countermeasures.

The effect was indeed good, at least in the morning debate, although the scholars on the stage were still defeated and won less, they were already able to attack and defend with Hua Jieyu, and even forced Hua Jieyu to admit some mistakes and omissions in the "Theory of Equality".

But in the afternoon, the soldiers, who thought they could turn the defeat and were full of confidence, suddenly found that the wind was turning sharply. A question that was originally directed at Hua Jieyu and others, but it touched the contradictions between scholars everywhere. Like other doctrines, Confucianism has different schools, and different schools have different understandings of the scriptures, and some even have diametrically opposed views.

At this influential feast in the Lingering Garden, suddenly someone from a certain group used a different understanding of the scriptures and meanings to attack the Hua Jieyu, undoubtedly claiming that their own views were the correct interpretation of the scriptures, which could not be accepted by other groups with different interpretations. So, without waiting for Hua Jieyu and others to answer, an inevitable great debate within Confucianism began, and the firepower was even stronger than the attack on the "Theory of Equality".

Not only that, but the Legalists, Mohists, Taoists, and Zongheng Scholars hidden within the scholars...... and many other children, took the opportunity to jump out, taking the opportunity of the feast in the Lingering Garden, to preach their own doctrine, the scene was chaotic, and everyone even forgot to attack their real opponents.

All this was completely beyond the expectations of Li Fengyun and Gongsun Wuwu and others, and they were surprised and delighted, someone was willing to come forward to share the pressure, which was much stronger than Li Fengyun and his family's hard resistance, so Li Fengyun and Gongsun Wuwu quietly discussed, and temporarily decided to suspend the banquet in the garden for three days for the expansion of the wooden platform, which will be able to accommodate up to ten ten-person teams with different opinions, a total of 100 people debate on the stage.

At the end of the feast in the Lingering Garden, Li Fengyun announced the decision, and none of the scholars objected, and Li Fengyun asked the scholars to reorganize their teams within these three days to form different school teams, and submit them to Wang Dashan, who was in charge of the feast in the Lingering Garden, to determine which ten teams could participate in the debate on the wooden platform.

The whole Dingzhou City was a sensation, thousands of people were empty, and everyone was discussing the topic of the Lingering Garden Feast. Even an illiterate coolie will interject two sentences after listening to the explanations of others.

On the street outside the Lingering Garden that day, it was overcrowded, shoulder to shoulder, and crowded. There are people who watch the bustle, sell snacks, and a large number of scholars who were unable to participate in the debate procession of the Lingering Garden, which makes this street crowded, and it is a very difficult problem for pedestrians to pass.

In view of this situation, Li Fengyun temporarily decided to open the martial arts exercise ground of the garrison in Dingzhou City, and set up another 10 interpretation offices in the martial arts arena to disperse the flow of people.

At this time, Dharma King Dahui gradually realized that the equality mentioned by Li Fengyun was not the same thing as the "equality of all beings" mentioned by the Buddhists, and realized the influence of this lingering garden feast, and strongly asked Li Fengyun to give him a quota, and he also wanted to organize Buddhist monks in Dingzhou to participate in this debate and expand the influence of Buddhism among the people. For this reason, he can persuade the Buddhist monasteries to donate a large amount of money and property for this feast.

Li Fengyun laughed and laughed, considering that Buddhism had been widely spread among the people, he did not refuse this request, and asked King Dahui to contact Wang Dashan to determine whether he was qualified to occupy a seat.

The Buddhist monks in Dingzhou moved, and sent disciples to the surrounding temples overnight to recruit high-ranking monks who could speak well.

The actions of the Buddhist monks naturally could not escape the attention of their old opponents, the Taoist temples, and the Taoist priests of course would not sit back and watch the Buddhist monks take this opportunity to sit big, and immediately decided to donate a large sum of money and property to the Yiwu Army in exchange for a place to participate in this debate.

Don't underestimate the donations of Buddhism and Taoism, in this war-torn era, Buddhism and Taoism have a lot of appeal because of their unique status, and they do not pay taxes and have extremely large financial resources. The donations of these two families alone are enough to offset all the expenses of the banquet in the Lingering Garden.

Wang Dashan naturally would not refuse the wealth sent to the door, and heartily agreed to the requests of the Buddha and the Taoist.

The Taoists are even more ingenious, specially looking for Taoist priests who understand some pharmacology, and set up a row of tables outside a Taoist temple in Dingzhou City, free of charge for the people to treat diseases, and pull up a big flag, on which eight big characters are written: "Hanging pots to help the world, doing nothing to cure."

Not to be outdone, the Buddhists also put on a posture outside a Buddhist temple, found some monks who could see a doctor, and erected a big banner with eight words written on it: "Compassion is the heart, all beings are equal."

Seeing this, the scholars of Dingzhou City were no longer idle, and they came forward to persuade the remaining squires around Dingzhou City to set up more than ten stalls in various places in Dingzhou City, give rice and medicine, and organize people who are good at argumentation on the side to preach various doctrines.

In view of this situation, Li Fengyun once again decided to change the suspension time of the feast in the garden from three days to 10 days, increase the number of participating teams to 12, and once again reduce the number of people in each pair to the stage, from 10 to 8.

For a time, all kinds of theories were rampant, and there was chaos in the city of Dingzhou.

Feng Yunwei even caught a group of people, led by a scoundrel surnamed Song. This person actually brazenly preached on the street that he would "rob the rich and help the poor, do the right thing for heaven, eat meat in large pieces, and drink wine in large bowls", and recruited troops and horses, which was very interesting to take the opportunity to pull a group of people up the mountain to become bandits, rob other people's wealth, and help their own poverty. It's strange to say that this person has also received the support of many people, and he actually gathered dozens of dead friends, claiming to be Thirty-six Tiangang.
