Chapter 471: Inside the Debate Reform Academy
Yao Ruoyu was forced to open the door by Xu Xuanrong, and then he learned that the list of the three-tier cities had been announced.
After fighting with Zhao Tianjiao that day, Yao Ruoyu gained a lot. After returning, he immediately entered the pass to realize the unity of Lingwu. However, he naturally did not have much understanding in just a few days. In other words, he had a little experience of the unity of Lingwu created by Zhao Tianjiao, which was far from the level of fusion of the two.
After being dragged out of the secret room by Xu Xuanrong, Yao Ruoyu hurriedly sorted out his clothes and left the county government with Song Kai, Xu Xuanrong, Zou Buyi and others, got in the car and drove to the Yitong Academy.
This time, the Hundred Schools Forum has entered its final stage, which is of great significance to Wenbang. Therefore, Yao Ruoyu and others dare not be careless. Except for the few of them, they were all wearing gorgeous clothes, the Tiance Army and the Dark Night Dragon Cavalry were also divided into several waves, sitting in various parts of the city, even the Yuanyang Army and the Crack Army had already ambushed outside the city.
The convoy was moving forward all the way. Yao Ruoyu saw the crowds of people on the street through the curtains, and they were all heading towards the inner city. If they hadn't been on the horse road, they would have been too busy to move forward.
Even so, when the car arrived at the entrance of the college, they had to be blocked by the crowded crowd. It was not until Yao Shan led people out to separate the road that they entered the inner city, got off the car and changed to walk, and arrived at the Doctor's Building.
At this time, a high platform had been built outside the doctoral building, with twelve seats placed on it, divided into three schools: Confucianism, Law, and Zongheng.
The high platform is surrounded by spectator areas. Except for the exclusive seats of Yao Ruoyu and others, the rest of the seats are owned by various universities participating in the competition, so the remaining spectators naturally can only stand and watch.
When they arrived, many people had already arrived outside the doctoral building, including military corpses, mixed corpses, famous corpses and other schools. They were communicating in the seats. When they saw Yao Ruoyu and others coming, they quickly stood up to greet them.
Compared with Confucianism, Taoism, military affairs, law, etc., they still have a certain status in various dynasties. Schools such as famous scholars, miscellaneous families, and farming schools have long declined. If it weren't for this Hundred Schools Forum, many people in the folk might have forgotten that there were still these schools back then.
Therefore, although they failed to advance to the top three, all the scholars from these schools were grateful to Wenbang. Even if most people were unable to defect to Wenbang because of their origin, it did not affect their gratitude.
For this grand event, Yao Ruoyu deliberately wore gorgeous clothes, purple gold crown, black python robe, and a belt with a gold-inlaid jade inlaid belt around his waist. In addition, he has cultivated aura of high-ranking people over the past four years. At this moment, when he appeared in the first day of the New Year, the king's demeanor was undoubtedly revealed.
Faced with these elites from various schools, Yao Ruoyu also showed great respect and greeted him one by one. Although he was not a versatile person, fortunately, with Zou Buyi and Xu Xuanrong there, everyone felt Wenbang's respect for them, so naturally the host and the host would be happy.
Half an hour later, the outside of the Doctor's Building was already crowded. The famous scholars of Confucianism, Taoism, military strategists, Legalism and other schools, as well as the major forces that came to visit, would be blocked in the area of the central school.
At this time, Yao Ruoyu was talking with Yongchuan County Magistrate Ni Ding about the battle of Longmen Town when Dawen attacked Sichuan and Shu last year.
The magistrate of Yongchuan County is the father of Ni Chan, a fellow friend of Yao Ruoyu. Although his daughter only knows brute force, her father is a scholar who is well-read in poetry and books. He was born in a military genius and was very good at military strategy. Unfortunately, Yongchuan was not on the border and could not be exposed to wars for many years.
With Ni Chan's relationship, Ni Ding and Yao Ruoyu naturally did not have much barriers. After chatting for a few words, they talked about the specific situation of the battle in Longmen Town.
When Yao Ruoyu heard that the groundwater was being drawn to cause the ground to collapse and kill hundreds of thousands of troops in the Jin Kingdom, Ni Ding couldn't help but suck his palm and sighed: "It is said that Your Highness Wen is only good at taking the extreme strategy of swords and taking the odd-forward strategy, but in Ni's opinion, the so-called swords and taking the odd-forward strategy is nothing more than taking all kinds of changes in his heart, which is more capable than conspiracy or other conspiracies."
Yao Ruoyu laughed in silence and shook his head and said, "You are polite, Lord Ni. Most of my plans are gambling. If you win the bet, you will make a big profit. If you lose the bet, you will lose all the game. But you are lucky and have never lost the bet since your debut."
Ni Ding smiled and said in a complicated tone: "Your Highness is very saying, I believe your Highness won't lose this time, right?"
Hearing that he was trying to make some sense, Yao Ruoyu frowned slightly, then laughed and said, "Of course."
The two were joking, and suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd in the distance, and then they separated a path and dozens of people walked out of it, for the sake of Li Yuezhou, the top scholar in the current science department.
Although I have heard others mention Li Yuezhou many times before, it was the first time Yao Ruoyu met this successor of Confucius.
There are countless Confucian sages, and there are naturally countless inheritances left behind. However, the most precious one is undoubtedly the inheritance of Confucius, the ancestor of Confucianism. Li Yuezhou was young but was in love with Confucius' inheritance. He almost combined Confucianism with great integrity for more than a thousand years. As soon as he appeared, his gentle and dilute temperament made countless people feel like spring breeze.
Seeing the Confucian people appear, Yao Ruoyu pondered for a while, stood up, and watched the Confucian people walk all the way to him.
The next moment, Li Yuezhou and Yao Ruoyu, who were standing in the crowd, looked at each other. There seemed to be a storm brewing in their eyes, but before the explosion was about to explode, they each restrained their energy and smiled at each other.
Li Yuezhou bowed his hand gently and laughed softly, "It is said that the prince's destruction sword can destroy all things in the world, but when you see him today, it seems that it is not just destruction!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Don't others say that Brother Li's collection of Confucianism has achieved great integrity for thousands of years," Yao Ruoyu paused and suddenly smiled, "When I see now, it's true that it's well-known. I'm afraid that in a few years, Confucianism will definitely regard Brother Li as it is!"
Li Yuezhou's eyes were slightly calm, and the six Xiufu, Han Junyao and others behind him were also slightly complicated in their expressions. However, other Confucian scholars did not hear Yao Ruoyu's meaning, and they all showed pride. It was obvious that Yao Ruoyu was afraid of Li Yuezhou's power and deliberately pleased her.
Unexpectedly, Yao Ruoyu was so angry that he had just met. While Li Yuezhou was depressed, he was also slightly annoyed and said calmly: "Does your highness think no one know about Yanzhou City that day?"
Yao Ruoyu frowned slightly and said in confusion: "What's the matter in Yanzhou City?"
Seeing him pretending to be confused, Li Yuezhou sneered in his heart and said calmly: "If you don't know, unless you don't do it yourself, your Highness will act cunningly and destroy others' futures."
Yao Ruoyu smiled, too lazy to get involved with him. He pointed to the Confucian seat next to him and said calmly: "There is a Confucian seat over there, please."
Unexpectedly, Yao Ruoyu was deeper than the rumors. He could not change his face even though he had said it out loud. Li Yuezhou smiled slightly, then he nodded and bowed, leading the Confucians to sit there.
After waiting for a while, when the time was approaching, Yao Ruoyu nodded gently to Song Kai. Seeing this, the latter took a long robe and stepped onto the platform. He looked around the noisy venue, raised his hands and pressed them down to signal everyone to keep quiet.
Clearing his throat, Song Kai said in a deep voice: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, all the heroes of various schools of thought emerged, debate and lobbying, and sitting on the Tao can be called a prosperous era. However, since the Spring and Autumn Period, China has no longer had the grand occasion of the competition for the prosperity of hundreds of schools. People's wisdom is limited and it is difficult to speak out. This is a scene of great decline!"
Ignoring the ugly faces of Confucians, Song Kai continued: "Thoughts only burst into flames when they are colliding, but they are not in line with each other when they are working behind closed doors. Only by sitting and discussing the truth can we create glory. My great article is deeply aware of the decline of all schools of thought, so I specially held this forum to create a stage for those with knowledgeable people in the world to show their own teachings and talents."
After the event background and the ads were completed, Song Kai took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Now the four Chinese countries have separatist forces, military affairs, political affairs, civil affairs, commercial affairs, and agricultural affairs. All countries have their own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the topic of today's competition is 'reform'!"
"Change today's bloated and powerful system and transform the greed of corrupt officials all over the world!"
"This time, the Hundred Schools Forum is a gathering of heroes and a series of brilliant chapters. Among them, Confucianism, Law, and the three schools are the best. According to the rules of the competition, these three schools have advanced to today's debaters. Each school has four people to debate on the same stage. In this competition, there is no ranking. I only hope that the three schools can express their opinions, not hide their own personalities, not cover up, and judge with sincerity, and debate with truth."
As Song Kaiyan ended, the audience immediately applauded like thunder. Except for the Confucians, everyone else was very excited.
"Good thief! No matter how good the winner is, what is the need to argue?" Han Junyao frowned and shouted in a low voice.
Wei Jinxiu shook his head gently and said calmly: "This is a bad word. This is the most important thing for the Hundred Schools of Life. Therefore, we must also elaborate on my Confucian teachings, so that all the schools of thought convinced me, and let the people know that I am a Confucian person."
There was no response to Song Kai's announcement that there would be no ranking in this round. Representatives of the Legalists and the Zonghengists.
After thousands of years of accumulation, Confucianism has long been deeply rooted in the people. How could it be shaken by just one hundred schools of thought? So they did not have much hope for winning the championship at first.
In the three representatives of Confucianism, Legalism, and Zonghengjia, one by one, came to the high platform. After each of them entered the seat, Song Kai also came to the center of the high platform and rang the gong. He was about to announce the beginning, but his face suddenly changed.
Not only him, among the people around the Doctor Building, Yao Ruoyu, Xu Xuanrong, Zou Buyi and others who have the fifth level or above all cultivation level turned their heads and looked east, among which the expressions of Wenbang were the most angry.
As they looked around, several surging evil auras rolled up one after another, and rushed towards Zhitong City with the arrogant and arrogant arrogance.
This is...the enemy attack?!
