At this time, Chun Yubo was already waiting for them at the gate of the Jixia School Palace.

Gao Yuan hurriedly got out of the car and bowed his hand and said, "Mr. Chunyu, you have been waiting for a long time." ”

Chun Yubo also arched his hand and said, "Lord Shangqing, please come with me, everyone is waiting for you?" As he spoke, he led the way. Gao Yuan and Chunyu Zhongxiu followed him, passed through the gate of the Jixia School Palace, and walked into the Jixia School Palace.

The Jixia School Palace is built according to the standard palace style, with a symmetrical pattern on the left and right of the central axis. The building is tall and majestic, but the color is mainly blue-gray, which makes it more ancient and solemn.

After passing through the gate, I walked forward for a distance of about 100 meters before I came to the main hall of the Jixia School Palace. The abutment of the main hall is about six meters high, and there are thirty or forty stone steps of one color. Many of the corners of the Wa are already covered with moss. It also shows that although the history of this school palace is not long, it still accumulates a lot of foundation.

On both sides of the back of the steps, behind the railing on the high platform, there are still many people standing, but they don't seem to be very old, that is, they are in their teens and twenties, and when the people on the plateau climbed the steps, they all saluted Chun Yu Bo and respectfully called "Mr. Chun Yu", and many people greeted Chun Yu Zhongxiu, which seemed very courteous. Of course, no one greeted the plateau, and the gaze that looked at the plateau was somewhat hostile.

Fortunately, Gao Yuan didn't care about this kind of gaze, followed behind Chun Yubo, and walked into the main hall side by side with Chun Yu Zhongxiu, at this time the main hall was already full of people, there were hundreds of people, arranged on the left and right sides of the main hall, there were more than ten rows, and in the front two or three rows were Eguan Bo belt, Hu Xiao a large number of scholars, looking at the age of at least forty years old, the back was much more crowded, and there were some young people, but the proportion of about twenty was very small. Obviously, only some important scholars and disciples are qualified to be listed in the main hall, and those standing outside the hall are all disciples who are not qualified enough.

There were still a few people sitting in the middle of the main hall, seeing Chun Yubo with Gao Yuan and Chun Yu Zhongxiu coming in, a few people in the middle also got up to greet them, led by a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old middle-aged man, with a long robe and a high crown, three long beards, a middle-upper figure, and an elegant appearance. Xiang Chun Yubo arched his hand and said, "Mr. Chun Yu." ”

Chun Yubo also arched his hand, then turned to Gao Yuan and said, "Lord Shangqing, this is the sacrificial wine of the Jixia School Palace. ”

Gao Yuan also bowed and said, "I've seen the master." ”

Kong Kun also returned the salute and said: "I have heard the name of Shangqing for a long time, and I admire it so much, but it is a pity that I am too busy with affairs in Xia and I can't visit Lord Shangqing, but fortunately, Miss Li Chunyu invited Lord Shangqing to participate in this debate, so that Lord Shangqing can set up the Jixia School Palace, and also make the Pengbi of the Jixia School Palace shine." As he spoke, he turned around and pointed to a girl behind him, and said, "This is the opponent of Lord Shangqing and Miss Chunyu today, Miss Luo Mingzhu Luo." ”

The girl also took two steps forward, bowed to Gao Yuan Yingying, and said, "Mingzhu has seen Lord Shangqing. ”

In fact, Gao Yuan has noticed her for a long time, because except for Chunyu Zhongxiu, she is the only woman in the entire hall, seeing that Luo Mingzhu's age is no more than twenty years old, wearing a light green dress Luo skirt, outlining a slender and slender figure, with a red ribbon around her waist, hanging two pieces of jade pendant, as she walks, it jingles, and there is a white light gauze silk scarf hanging on the bend of her arms, which has been dragged to the ground, showing a more charming and elegant temperament.

The jet-black hair, gently pulled into a high bun on the head, inserted with a jasper phoenix-shaped step shake hairpin, under the hair, is a very delicate melon face, slightly high nose bridge, not only makes a pair of beautiful eyes look more profound, but also shows that she is very assertive, rose petal-like cherry mouth, slightly tight, indicating that she will not admit defeat lightly, but also for her to add a bit of noble and elegant moving temperament.

If Chun Yu Zhongxiu is like her pot of narcissus, high-definition and elegant, light and beautiful, there is infinite grace in the quiet; Then Luo Mingzhu is like a blooming peony, covered with fragrance, musky, and spotless, clear and flawless. Two people stand together, like Chunlan and Qiuju, each with its own merits, but it complements each other.

Gao Yuan owed a debt and said: "When I was in Zhao Kingdom, I heard Miss Chunyu talk about Miss Luo's name, and it is really a blessing to be able to meet Miss Luo in Jixia School Palace." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Mingzhu's eyes, and she said, "It turns out that Sister Chunyu mentioned Mingzhu to Lord Shangqing?" He glanced at Chunyu Zhongxiu and said, "When Chunyu's sister visited Zhao Guo, we didn't see each other." ”

Chun Yu Zhongxiu also nodded and said, "Yes, although Sister Luo and I didn't see each other at that time, I have been fascinated by Sister Luo for a long time, so I mentioned Sister Luo to Lord Shangqing." ”

Luo Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, owed to Chunyu Zhongxiu, and said: "Sister Meng Chunyu values it so much, Mingzhu is ashamed." ”

In fact, Gao Yuan said this, intentionally testing Luo Mingzhu's attitude, if Luo Mingzhu's personality is arrogant and there is no one in his eyes, then she will be complacent because she is valued by Zhong Xiu, then she is not worried. Even if he can't achieve this goal, he can show Chun Yu Zhongxiu's generosity, and it is also to put psychological pressure on Luo Mingzhu.

Kong Kun pointed to a young man behind him and said, "This is Miss Luo's assistant, Fu Wan, and he is also the opponent of Lord Shangqing and Miss Chunyu today's debate. ”

Gao Yuan looked at the age of about thirty years old, and he was also in a long robe with a high crown, a slight beard under his chin, and his eyes were bright, but the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, showing extreme confidence and a little pride.

Fu Lian took a step forward, bowed to the plateau, and said: "You Lian has seen Lord Shangqing, heard that Lord Shangqing's words are sharp, good at arguing and can speak, when he first arrived in Linzi, he said that it was difficult to say that it was difficult in the palace, and refuted Dr. Hu, and later made the [Chivalrous Travel] song, the wind spread in Linzi, so I really admired it in the next, and today I can finally ask Lord Shangqing for advice." ”

Although his language was polite, it brought out an indescribable pride, obviously not taking himself seriously, and when he mentioned Hu Daoyuan, Gao Yuan obviously heard several snorts on the seats on the left and right. It seems that he is difficult to say in the palace of King Qi, so that Wang Jian of Qi drove away Hu Daoyuan, and many people in the Jixia School Palace are dissatisfied.

However, Gao Yuan didn't care, nodded, and said, "Okay, I also want to learn Mr. Fu's dialectics." ”

Later, Kong Kun introduced to Gao Yuan and Chunyu Zhongxiu the Zhongzhi people of this polemic, namely Shusun Tong, Zhou Qingchen, Huang Fang, and Zhengxian, and at the end of the debate, the four of them will be planted to decide the winner, and if there is a two-on-two situation in the end, Kong Kun will do the final Zhongzhi. Among the four people, Shusun Tong and Zhou Qingchen are all Confucian scholars, Huang Jian is a famous scholar, and he is a Legalist scholar.

The role of the Nakatsu people is not only to determine the final victory, but also to stop inappropriate remarks in the debate. Although the Qi court is relatively open to the control of the Jixia School Palace, it is not possible to say anything, Hu Daoyuan is a good example, because he is an opponent who is good at finding mistakes from the opponent's language, so for this debate, the Jixia School Palace did not dare to be careless.

Naturally, both sides had no objection to this, so the four sides sat on the left and right, Gao Yuan and Chun Yu Zhongxiu sat on the left, Luo Mingzhu and Fu Qi sat on the right, Kong Kun, Chun Yubo and the four Zhongzhi people sat in the middle, Kong Kun looked at both sides and said: "The topic of this debate is the advantages and disadvantages of the Qin system, and the two sides can express their own opinions. ”

Although in the mainstream public opinion of the six eastern countries, the Qin state is still the representative of tyranny, belligerence, murder, and domineering, but the general trend of the stronger the Qin state and the weaker the six countries is irreversible, so there are also many real people of insight who have begun to seriously think about why the Qin state, which was the weakest in the early Warring States period, will become the most powerful country in the Warring States period after the Shang Dynasty reform, and is even the most likely to unify the world again.

Of course, people of insight will not narrowly and simply believe that the strength of the Qin State is the result of belligerence, murder, and hegemony, but because the system of the Qin State is naturally stronger than the six eastern countries, so the system of the Qin State has also been carefully studied, and affirmed, or partially affirmed, and the great Confucian Xunzi in the early Warring States period is the most typical representative of them; In addition, the Qin State was a country that adopted the Legalist doctrine to govern the country, and although the number of Legalist scholars in the Jixia School Palace was much smaller than that of Confucian scholars, it was also a school in the Jixia School Palace, and naturally respected the system of the Qin State.

However, there are praises and objections, questioning, belittling, and even reprimanding the system of the Qin State, and the anti-Qin people are mainly Confucian scholars, some of them are considered from an academic point of view, but there are also some who are completely out of the opposition between Confucianism and Legalism.

In the Jixia School Palace, many debates were held around various topics of the Qin State, from the system of the Qin State, the content of the Shang Dynasty reform, to the wisdom of the monarchs of the Qin State, etc., all became the topics of debate. The two sides each quoted scriptures and classics, and fought with each other, but the result was that no one could convince anyone, firstly, the concept of this era was still very limited, and secondly, there were not many scholars in the Jixia School Palace who had really been to the Qin State for on-the-spot investigation, and many of the arguments and arguments were hearsay, plus their own speculation. Therefore, it is difficult to argue with a result.

However, Chun Yu's father and daughter had been to the Qin State and had conducted a very serious study of the situation in the Qin State, so many scholars present were also full of expectations for this debate.
