Qin Feng and Wu Bei pointed out that Sang scolded Huai to point out Ji Ning, it was all for the sake of addiction, obviously they didn't think about the extent of Ji Ning's argument and what kind of counterattack it brought to them.

The example that Ji Ning gave them is very simple, don't you say that those who serve for the Temple of Literature and do not go to the court to be officials are not for the country and the people and follow their own interests, now I will give you the most classic example, that is, Confucius Sage, as a disciple of Confucius Sage, you are learning the way of Confucius and Mencius, and you are criticizing my behavior, that is, criticizing the founder of Confucianism!

Sure enough, when Ji Ning gave this example, the people present were silent, and no one dared to come out to refute Ji Ning.

Tang Xie stood up at this time and praised: "That's right, the ambition of the sage, this is the great ambition of the country and the people, but the country is not a country for a while, and the people are not for the people of a place, but for the people of eternity, which also symbolizes that our great Yong Dynasty can last forever, Brother Yongning is so open-minded, admire, admire!" ”

Although Tang Xie was originally on Ji Ning's side, it was only a natural thing to come out to help Ji Ning speak, but with Tang Jie's words, it would be difficult for others to refute Ji Ning, and whoever criticized Ji Ning again would be tantamount to going against Confucianism, they still had to weigh whether their arguments were comparable to Qin Feng and Wu Bei, even if they could be compared, they might not be Ji Ning's opponents, and it was boring to come out.

Zhao Yuanqi saw that the scene had eased somewhat, and quickly picked up the teacup and got up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this scholar held a literary meeting here today, and he was originally a friend with a literary meeting, and he couldn't hurt his peace for a momentary dispute. This prince also thinks that what Ji Gongzi said makes sense, to serve the country and the people, or to do learning, it is a matter of personal ambition, now you are still dedicated to learning as well, come, please drink tea! ”

Qin Feng and Wu Bei were naturally unwilling at this time, but now that Ji Ning had brought out the Confucian Saints, they were already powerless to argue, and the result of arguing was likely to be boring, so they could only swallow the bitter fruit by themselves.

"Humph!" Qin Feng snorted lightly, but still sat down, Wu Bei saw that the situation was not right, but he also picked up the teacup and drank a cup with Zhao Yuanqi and the others, so he sat down angrily, but his eyes were staring at Ji Ning and did not look away.

……

……

After the Wenhui, there was no need for Ji Ning to say anything.

Ji Ning just had a debate with Qin Feng and Wu Bei, and he completely proved his talent, and when others said something, even if Ji Ning didn't speak, these people would subconsciously glance at Ji Ning, wanting to see if Ji Ning agreed with their point of view.

Because the Wenhui was held in the afternoon, when the sunset was dusk, the Wenhui was about to end, Zhao Yuanqi said: "Leave you for a wine banquet today, and the banquet has been prepared in the backyard. ”

"Still don't have to!" Ji Ning got up first and said goodbye, "After coming out today, I have to go back early to prepare for academic matters, so I will leave!" ”

Like Ji Ning, he is the only one who openly refuses the kindness of the prince of Chongwang.

Qin Feng said coldly: "I am proud and arrogant, I don't know what to do!" ”

Because he was the losing party in the debate just now, even if what he said seemed to have some truth in it, he couldn't win the approval of the people present, this year is the winner is king, since Ji Ning can find a suitable reason to refute Qin Feng, then Ji Ning is now the one who occupies public opinion.

Zhao Yuanqi had some regret on his face, and said: "Since Yongning is leaving, then don't keep much, come and send Ji Gongzi out of the house!" ”

is also afraid that Ji Ning offended people just now and will be retaliated against when he goes out, Zhao Yuanqi personally appointed guards to escort Ji Ning out, Tang Xie and others also got up to say goodbye, so that many people present who didn't want to stay and eat also have excuses and examples, they will think: "Since Ji Ning and Tang Xie and others can leave, why do we still stay?" ”

So almost half of the people hurriedly saluted and said goodbye, which made the entire hall of the Chongwang Mansion a lot less colorful.

……

……

Out of the Chongwang Mansion, Ji Ning, Tang Xie and the others did not immediately part ways.

A few people arrived at the nearby teahouse first, sat down and talked about the Wenhui just now, Han Yu looked excited, and said with a smile: "It's still Yongning's debate, I didn't see the surname Qin and the surname Wu just now, that grizzled appearance, it's really relieving, if Yongning can be a jinshi again, and their name falls to Sun Shan, let them know what is powerful!" ”

"yes!" Xie Tai also helped beside him, "Yongning has today's performance, and no one dares to talk about Yongning's ambition in the Temple of Literature, which also makes many people admire Yongning's talent even more." ”

Ji Ning shook his head and said: "The level of learning, in the end, there is still a criterion for judging, that is, to see if you can be admitted to the Jinshi, and it is almost empty talk to say anything else!" ”

In a word, it brought everyone back to reality, in this kind of one-time lifelong imperial examination, all candidates can feel the pressure on their shoulders.

It is said that he can learn to take the old exam, but every time he takes the exam, it takes three years, it is really three years after three years, endless, and a heroic young man will become a white-headed old man, even so, he may not be able to pass the exam, so that many candidates can't bear this pressure after participating in the examination a few times, and choose to accept the release of the imperial court, and since then they have broken off the idea of participating in the imperial examination.

Tang explained: "Yongning, there are still a few days before the trial list, what are your plans?" ”

Ji Ning smiled and said: "I don't have any plans, I plan to study behind closed doors, even if I don't win this time, won't there be three years later?" I'm a fledgling like this, and if I can win, it's the best, but if I don't, I still have a chance in the future! ”

Tang Xie laughed and said, "Who is different? We are young, the big deal is that we will meet for three years and wait for the next session to compete again! ”

"Haha!" Han Yu smiled, "You're still fighting it out, aren't you a female?" ”

A few people laughed, the atmosphere was also very good, and a few people didn't drink, just drank tea, and then said goodbye and went home.

Ji Ning just arrived at the door of the house by carriage, and he hadn't gone in yet, this time he saw someone visiting, and like the previous visitors, they didn't enter the door, and looked carefully, but saw that the system of the carriage was different from that of ordinary people's homes, if it wasn't for the princes and nobles and couldn't have it, Ji Ning was strange in his heart, he guessed: "Could it be that Zhao Yuanxuan is here?" ”

When Ji Ning got out of the carriage, before he could step forward, he was stopped by several big men.

"What to do? This is my lord's house! Chen Qi came out with some resentment.

Lin Yi is now the leader of a gang, and on weekdays, Chen Qi and Li 6 come over to help catch the car, Chen Qi doesn't have much knowledge, and he doesn't know that the person in front of him can't afford to mess with.

"What's your lord? This is the car of the county lord of Min Shan of King Hui's mansion, who dares to stop it? The guard said with a proud face.
