Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

The Empress Dowager's complexion changed again.

Although she knew that the Academy was very important, as the supreme ruler of the Zhao Kingdom, the Empress Dowager did not care too much about the Academy in the past.

The reason is also very simple. Aren't the people who come out of the academy all the courtiers of the old woman?

It was only when Lin Xiangru reminded her that the queen mother realized that the gathering place she regarded as a group of literati had quietly produced such a huge influence.

The queen mother made up her mind and said, "Wen Xinjun, how do you plan to solve this matter?"

Lin Xiangru said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, the old minister has indeed made a plan.

Every year, the school holds a mountain opening day celebration, and this year's opening day is coming soon.

As long as the Empress Dowager is willing to move the mountain opening ceremony, then Xun Kuang will be dealt a fatal blow! "

Lin Xiangru said this and that.

After listening to the Queen Mother, her eyes gradually lit up, and she praised: "Okay, let's do it like this!"

Half an hour later, King Zhao, who was reading carefully in the apse, raised his head and looked at the Empress Dowager who had just appeared curiously: "The Empress Dowager seems to be in a good mood today, could it be that she heard some happy news?"

The queen mother smiled slightly and said, "My lord, have you been to the opening ceremony of the academy before?"

Little Zhao Wang was slightly taken aback, then nodded, and suddenly laughed again: "Mother, when the grand master was still there a few years ago, she was made ashamed by Wu Xinjun time and time again. It's really funny!"

The Empress Dowager gave Little Zhao Wang a hard look: "The old woman doesn't think it's so funny! By the way, this year you will be able to see Wu Xinjun's disheveled face!"

Little Zhao Wang was stunned for a moment, then he said in surprise: "Is the queen mother trying to trip Lord Wu Xin?

It's better not to, Wu Xinjun was protected by luck at the mountain opening ceremony, so it's better to change the timing. "

Little Zhao Wang has witnessed Zhao Kuo's various fancy face-slapping at the opening day ceremony in the past few years, and Zhao Kuo's performance can't help but have a bit of mythology.

The queen mother was furious when she heard it: "What luck protects each other, it's just nonsense! Just wait and see!"

The opening day has arrived.

On this day, the school palace has become the yearning place for countless Handan people.

Scholars from all over the world, daughters of many rich families who hope to find a good son-in-law, traders who want to take the opportunity to start a business and make some money, and some empty hands who want to take the opportunity to make some extra money, etc., etc. All in one.

As the permanent honorary sacrificial wine of the Academy, Zhao Kuo naturally appeared at the ceremony.

The square for the celebration has long been crowded with people, and countless people are looking at the many sacrificial wines at the top.

"That's Wu Xinjun, wow, I finally saw Wu Xinjun with my own eyes!"

Many scholars who had just entered school gave out excited cheers.

The person next to him didn't laugh at it, but gave him a knowing smile.

Whose idol is not Wu Xinjun?

Is there really someone who doesn't regard Wu Xinjun as someone he must emulate in the future?

The present of these new scholars is also the past of their seniors.

On the screen wall of the square, the "Four Sentences of Wu Xin" left by Zhao Kuo is still shining brightly.

Countless people have been inspired by the four words of "Building a heart for the world, building a life for the people, inheriting the knowledge for the past, and creating peace for all generations." After being recruited by Zhao Guo's government, he directly joined Wu Xinjun's house.

As the saying goes, "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening."

What they want is not glory and wealth, but to follow the path of Wu Xinjun and be the follower of Wu Xinjun, a fellow man!Seeing that the time was almost up, Xun Kuang, the high priest of the Academy, stood up and announced loudly: "This year's Academy Opening Day celebration has officially begun!"

Shocking cheers erupted from the crowd.

Suddenly, an extremely high-pitched voice sounded: "The queen mother, the king is here!"

Accompanied by this sound, the crowd parted like a tide, revealing a line of cars.

The chariot of Little King Zhao is at the front, followed by the chariot of the Empress Dowager, and then the chariot of Zhao Sheng, the Prime Minister of Zhao State, the chariot of Lin Xiangru, the Monarch of Wenxin, the chariot of Zhao Bao, the Lord of Pingyang, and the chariot of Da Sima Le. The important ministers of the state all appeared in the celebration!Looking at this scene, Zhao Kuo couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Could it be that the Empress Dowager also wants to challenge this Marquis today?"

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Kuo's mouth twitched slightly.

This is really a bit of a coincidence.

Chapter 487 Whoever wins will be the grand sacrificial wine!

The empress dowager and Zhao Wang led many important officials to come, which naturally aroused everyone's discussion again.

"How is this going?

Remember the first real mountain opening ceremony before, it seems that the queen mother did not come, right? "

"That's right, in the past few years, at most, the king brought Han Xuwei over, and then there is only Wu Xinjun, our own man in the academy, and the other important officials have never been here."

"Is something big going to happen?"

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel anticipation.

No matter ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, most people like to watch the excitement very much!When the Queen Mother and her party arrived, it was inevitable that there would be some confusion. Everyone hurriedly saluted the Queen Mother and King Zhao, and then reassigned their seats.

The Empress Dowager naturally sat in the main seat. Although Zhao Guo's actual highest leader was over [-] years old, his appearance did not age much because of this. On the contrary, he looked more mature, which attracted a lot of praise.

The queen mother smiled very dignifiedly: "Xunqing, what's the next project?"

Xun Kuang, as a school sacrificial wine, had already been conferred the title of Zhao Guoxia Qing a few years ago. In terms of title, he could be regarded as an important minister of Zhao Guo, but there was no official position that could match him.

Xun Kuang hurriedly said: "Going back to the Queen Mother, the next thing to do is the debate competition among the various schools of thought in the academy."

The Empress Dowager nodded, looked at Xun Kuang slightly, and suddenly smiled and said, "Xun Qing, how many years have you been the grand sacrificial wine?"

Xun Kuang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, since the founding of the mountain, I have been in the position of Grand Priest for exactly five years."

"Five years."

The queen mother nodded with emotion, and said, "It's time to change someone, isn't it?"

The queen mother's voice was not high, but everyone sitting on the platform could still hear it clearly.

These people included King Zhao, Lord Pingyuan, Lin Xiangru, Zhao Kuo and other important ministers, as well as all the other Jixia Schools offering wine.

When Xun Kuang heard these words, his heart was also shocked, and he subconsciously looked at Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo was also taken aback, but immediately came back to his senses, and nodded slightly to Xun Kuang, signaling Xun Kuang to be calm and not to be impatient.

After all, Xun Kuang is also a famous Confucian in the world, and his self-cultivation is first-class, so he immediately restrained the turbulent waves in his heart, and said respectfully: "I also ask the queen mother to express it clearly."

Not only the high platform, tens of thousands of people in the entire square fell silent instantly, all eyes were focused on the queen mother, waiting for her next words.

The Empress Dowager gave Zhao Kuo a meaningful look, then turned her head and smiled at Xun Kuang, "Xun Qing, you have been managing the academy all these years, and the old lady has also noticed your contribution to Da Zhao.

However, Da Zhao's Academy is the same as Qi State's Jixia Academy, which talks about the contention of a hundred schools of thought, so of course the family cannot be in charge of the academy for a long time.

Therefore, the old woman believes that in the future, the term of office for offering sacrifices to the academy will be fixed at five years, and will be changed every five years.

If re-elected, it can also be re-elected.

But the premise is that you Confucianists must win the debate competition that all sacrifices to wine participate in!If Confucianism did not win the championship, then whoever wins this debate will be the grand sacrificial wine! "

The queen mother's voice fell, and the whole atmosphere suddenly exploded.

"It's really unheard of for a debate competition to compete for the grand sacrificial wine!"

"This is exciting. Think about it, those scholars are all devoted to being disciples of learning and education. How can they be stimulated by debating in front of everyone?"

"That makes sense, then do you think Xun Kuang Da Jijiu can still be re-elected?"

"I find it difficult. He is not good at debating. He may be able to rank in the front row, but he may not be able to win the championship."

Obviously, everyone is not very optimistic about Xun Kuang.

On the high platform, the eyes of many other Academy Jijiu turned red, and their breathing began to become short of breath.

The position of the Grand Priest of the Academy is the leader in charge of the entire Zhao Kingdom, and even the Chinese Huaxia world. He is the leader of all Huaren in the true sense. Who wouldn't want to be that?

In the past, everyone dared not challenge Xun Kuang because they all knew that Xun Kuang had the full support of Zhao Kuo, the hero of Zhao Guojun.

But now, the Empress Dowager appeared and said she wanted to replace her!No matter how strong Wu Xinjun is, can he still be stronger than the Queen Mother?

The debate is ready to begin.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Lin Xiangru with a smile, and said, "Xinjun, I will let you preside over this debate."

Lin Xiangru stood up, first saluted and accepted the order, and then said loudly: "Anyone who wants to participate in the debate competition for the position of the chief priest, please stand up."

After Lin Xiangru finished speaking, almost all the sacrificial wine stood up.

Only one sacrificial wine looked up at the crowd, then rolled his eyes, and continued to close his eyes and meditate.

This sacrificial wine is the Mohist Jijiu Fuzhen. If you listen carefully, you can hear Fuzhen muttering to himself in a very soft voice: "The melting point of nitroglycerin is thirteen degrees, and the boiling point is 180 degrees. The density is [-], so if you want to use it to trigger a big bang, the formula should be "For Fuzhen, what's the point of such a shit big sacrifice, is it important for me to do these military research?

Fuzhen, who was originally a genius of the Mohist school of inksmiths, has completely become a true scientific research maniac after receiving Zhao Kuo's knowledge from modern times!Lin Xiangru looked at Fuzhen with some surprise, and then said with a smile: "Okay, let's start the debate now!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a total of nine Jixia Academy Priests began to draw lots two by two, and debated fiercely.

"The way of heaven is natural, and the way of heaven is permanent. Use it to control the destiny!"

"The king and ministers, high and low, all obey the law; the law is not noble, and the rope is not bent; punishment is not evaded by ministers, and rewards are not spared!"

"Soldiers, the major events of the country, the place of life and death, the way of life and death, must be observed!"

A famous sacrificial wine fully brought out the precipitation in the weekdays, and the exquisite thoughts and sentences made many students and scholars very addicted, and bursts of cheers burst out from time to time.

This is a feast of academic and ideological collisions!The queen mother seemed a little not calm enough, looking at Zhao Kuo from time to time, and then at Lin Xiangru.

Lin Xiangru, as the host, had a strange excitement flashing on his face, and he stood up after a while to announce the result.

"Lu Zhong wins in a row!"

"Xun Kuang wins!"

"Gongsun Longsheng!"

As one of the eliminated Jijiu returned to the stage dejectedly, the two finalists were finally announced.

Lin Xiangru said loudly: "The final competition will be between the Confucian Xun Kuang Xunzi and the famous Gongsun Longgong and grandson. The two have a quarter of an hour to prepare, and then start to compete for the champion!"

With Lin Xiangru's announcement, everyone was in commotion.

Those who opposed Confucianism screamed and cheered one by one, while those on the Confucian side looked very solemn.

"Gongsun Long?

It turned out to be the famous Gongsun Long!This time, Xun Kuang's sacrificial wine might be gone! "

Chapter 488 A white horse is not a horse, that's it?

Who is Gongsun Long?

This gentleman is a native of Zhao State, the leader of a "famous family" among the hundreds of scholars in Jixia Academy.

The most important thing is that Gongsun Long has a classic sophistry method "a white horse is not a horse" recorded in the history books of the past dynasties.

How strong is the "white horse is not a horse"?

Relying on this "white horse is not a horse", Gongsunlong went to Jixia Academy many years ago to kick the hall. In Jixia Academy, there are many scholars, hundreds of families, hundreds of scholars, and thousands of scholars. It can be said that the entire Chinese modernization elite gathered at that time , but no one could argue against Gongsun Long's theory of "a white horse is not a horse", they could only watch Gongsun Long pretending to be aggressive, and then swaggered away.

Since then, Gongsun Long has become famous all over the world!If it is about knowledge, then Gongsun Long may not be ranked high.

But when it comes to debate, Gongsun Long's "white horse is not a horse" is an unstoppable killer in this era!Everyone gasped and talked a lot.

"Impossible to win."

"The problem that a white horse is not a horse may not be solved in a hundred years, no, in 300 years."

"Yeah, I should have thought of it earlier."

There were also some quick-witted people who began to come to their senses: "You said, is this debate competition planned by the Queen Mother to support Gongsun Long?"

Many people suddenly realized after hearing the words: "That's right! This way of debating is tailor-made for Gongsun Long."

The voices of these discussions were very loud, and they naturally spread to the rostrum.

The Empress Dowager had a calm face, she paid great attention to her manners, and kept dignified all the time.

The corner of Lin Xiangru's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at Zhao Kuo, revealing a tricky smile.

Gongsun Long is a well-known scholar in Zhao State for many years, and he has had friendship with Lin Xiangru for decades.

This time, in order to reduce Zhao Kuo's influence, Lin Xiangru and Gongsun Long wanted to seize Xun Kuang's position as the great sacrificial wine, and the two hit it off.
