Chapter 358: The First Debate of the Tang Dynasty
Regarding Bai Fan's organization of disciples to go on a blind date with the princess, it has been spread throughout Chang'an, and many young people have begged their parents to follow suit and choose their spouses, with parents supporting and parents opposing.
In today's venue, it can be seen that the people on both sides can sit behind whoever they support, and it is obvious that there are many people who support Wei Zheng and other old people.
After about a while, Li Jiancheng, the king of Jin, took the stage and walked to the center, saluting the surrounding audience, and then saluting the two debaters, followed by the jury above the high platform, among which Li Er and Li Yuan were also present.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this king Li Jiancheng, I am deeply honored to be appointed by the emperor to preside over the first debate conference of the Tang Dynasty today!
During the Warring States Period, there were hundreds of schools of thought in the Qi State Jixia School Palace, and it was a great blessing that the Tang Dynasty could reproduce the style of the ancient times.
What surpasses the ancients this time is that we invited all the people of Chang'an to participate in it, and the discussion is not a doctrine of one faction, but a major event related to the livelihood of each of our people!
A few days ago, Lantian Hou Baifan presided over a novel blind date meeting, which was to choose a son-in-law for the princess, although it was contrary to the ancient rites, but it opened a precedent for choosing a son-in-law independently.
As a result, many young juniors had to choose their own marriage, and they were unwilling to marry their elders, so this conference was introduced.
However, in the end, whether such a behavior that challenges the rules of the ancestors can be promoted throughout the country, whether it can be accepted by the people, and whether it is beneficial or disadvantageous to the people, we have invited many famous seniors and new talents to argue one or two on this matter.
Please be here to testify and listen to what kind of marriage is more suitable for our children.
There are a lot of people on the scene, so please keep order, don't speak, and leave everything to both sides on stage. ”
sprinkled an opening remark, Li Jiancheng presided over it very well, the people understood it, and they were very cooperative, and the audience was instantly quiet, and they all wanted to hear which party's opinion.
No, there are still some small voices, which are people who are interested in seeing arguments and fights, taking advantage of the situation to open gambling games and set up handicaps, and whispering propaganda to make people bet.
During the Tang Dynasty, people were good at gambling, but whoever was involved in the victory, no matter how big or small, everyone liked to gamble a little or two, and they had fun with it.
But this time is different, everyone is holding their breath and paying attention to the game, who has the heart to pay attention to gambling gold and silver? There was not much time, and the gang was cleared out by the forbidden army that maintained order.
"In the first round, please state your arguments and indicate the direction of your argument."
Wei Zheng stood up and said loudly: "The old man was appointed to represent the Ministry of Rites, Confucianism, and many children's parents as the representative of the Zhengfang defense, we think: the law of the ancestors is immutable, and it has followed the Zhou Gongli law for thousands of years, and it has been fully explained that it is liked by the people for thousands of years, so we insist on the words of the parents' order matchmaker!" ”
Good! Behind him, a large number of think tanks supporting Wei Zheng shouted, and the people were also shouting support.
The eldest grandson Chong stood up and said loudly: "You are polite, the younger generation of the eldest grandson Chong, was appointed to lead the team as the representative of the opposing party, we think: the etiquette should change with the times, although the words of the parents' order matchmaker have been followed for thousands of years, but this move has also created countless tragic marriages for thousands of years, whether it is the absurd act of 80 marrying 18, or the family tragedy caused by the discord between men and women after marriage, to a large extent, it has brought suffering to the lives of our people, so we support changing the etiquette and choosing a mate on a blind date. ”
Good! The cheerleaders were the first to shout support, and then the audience who supported the blind date also shouted together, although there were few people, but the momentum was not small at all.
"Okay, the arguments of both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, so who is better, please look at the second link - the two sides take turns to speak and defend, which side is refuted is a failure, if the winner cannot be distinguished, the judges will comment and decide."
Li Jiancheng, who had been trained by Bai Fan for an afternoon, remembered the debate process by heart, and the sound and color of the host were very exciting.
On Wei Zheng's side, a big Confucian stood up and said to the amplification equipment: "Although the words of the parent's order matchmaker have the intention of coercion, which parent doesn't want their children to be good? will definitely choose the right spouse for the child, the world is all parents, in terms of vision, or adult parents are older.
Young people are mentally incomplete, easy to be tempted by the outside world, marrying a wife or marrying more depends on looks, don't you know that a person's inner is the key. ”
Good! Color!
......Shh Hey......
A group of audience members applauded in unison, but the other audience was dissatisfied and ridiculed, making it as clear as a quarrel between the two sides.
Li Jiancheng hurriedly went to maintain order, Li Chengdao got up and said: "What you say is reasonable, then you can explain, what does the eighteen brides and eighty lang mean?" Why is this happening? Don't you think it's a tragedy? ”
Good! Color!
A group of young people shouted in the back, and many bold girls were also screaming in support.
Bai Fan looked at such a lively scene in the corner of the stands, and smiled at his wife beside him, "Such a grand occasion, it's rare to see it!" ”
"Husband is really a prank, it was all your beginning, but now it's fun to watch!" Li Wanping said with a smile.
At this time, Wei Zheng's side once again defended: "Although this matter has existed since ancient times, we have carefully analyzed Lantian Hou's explanation, and I quite agree with the humanization that Hou Ye said.
The matter of the eighteenth bride and eighty lang is indeed not good, the daughter who has worked hard for eighteen years to marry the gray-haired old man, the old man has seen this matter, but he thinks he can't do it. ”
Hearing this, everyone laughed, this old man is really interesting!
"The old man is the imperial history of the imperial court, and he will tell His Majesty about this matter later, some parents marry their daughters with their eyes closed in order to be greedy for wealth, or marry their daughters in friendship, no matter what, in the end, they have caused a lifetime of loneliness and suffering to their eighteen-year-old daughters, even if they can remarry, there is no good family to go, and this move has no humanity at all.
The daughter's family is dissatisfied and powerless to resist, imagine whose parents can bear to let your daughter cry all day long? Therefore, we will approve this matter and tell Your Majesty afterwards.
However, from a positive point of view, there are not many such things after all, and it can be said that there are some special cases of bad habits, which is not enough evidence! ”
Good!
After the old man finished speaking, the audience cheered for him again, the difference is that many people in the audience behind Changsun Chong applauded, this person's point of view is indeed upright, impartial, recognizing the opponent, and also pointing out his own reasons.
Li Er nodded and said: "Yes, I will find someone to discuss this matter, they are all the daughters of the Tang Dynasty, how can they be harmed by bad habits?" ”
The positive side won the support of the audience, and the opposing side naturally wanted to accept it, Du Gou got up and said to the amplification equipment: "My lord's words are reasonable, and I admire them later."
As for the words of the parents' matchmaker, I have another comment, the adult said before that parents will not harm their children when they choose a mate for their children, which is good.
But many times the parents' views do not represent the children's views, and the parents' likes does not mean that the children like it, and then the two children live together, if the two are not satisfied and can't get together, it must be a tragedy of a backyard fire, or a divorce and remarriage.
The man is fine, will the woman be looked down upon if she remarries?
And in this way, isn't it in vain that the two families were busy for several months for the wedding?
The rich family is okay, it can withstand the toss, the poorer the family, the more it can't withstand the toss, and the poorer it will be.
Therefore, the major events related to the happiness and progress of the people's lives, although it is an ancient ceremony, we must also solve the problem! ”
Good!
The cheerleaders shouted behind Du Wei.
Although the other side did not echo, there was no ridicule, and many parents also fell into deep thought after listening to it, as if there was some truth.
