When Li Chengdao heard this, what is the situation?

"Junior Brother Du Gou, do you have any grievances with Chang'an City Talent?"

Du Gou said hesitantly, "No, there is no grievance, it's just a sparring and a hand-to-hand fight!"

Well, everyone will understand in one sentence, this is not a discussion, it must have abused others. At the beginning, Du Gou made a small achievement in his studies and came out to abuse his classmates. After being invincible in the academy, he went to Chang'an to challenge. Over and over, it has become famous ever since.

Chang Sun Chong persuaded: "Forget it, don't blame Junior Brother Du for this matter, what talent is there in Chang'an City? Those mediocre people don't mind.

I have an idea here, we send out nine people, and let the youngest junior in the academy make up the tenth person. "

"Second Senior Brother, what is the meaning behind this move?" Everyone asked.

"Of course, we will be like this when the time comes," Changsun Chong explained in a dark tone.

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed. This second senior brother is indeed a little fox from the family, so insidious?

Time passed quickly. While everyone was busy preparing, the people of Chang'an passed by amidst heated discussions and anticipation. On the day of the debate, there were huge crowds of people outside the south gate of Chang'an City. Li Er ordered the dispatch of 1 imperial troops to maintain order.

As soon as the crowd came to the stage, they immediately became agitated. A group of old-fashioned officials were the first to express their dissatisfaction, "What are you doing? If Bai Fan doesn't come, a group of younger generations will be fine. Why is there still a childish urchin? Are you humiliating us?"

The youngest in Zhongnan Academy is Li Er's fourth son, Li Tai, who is 11 years old this year. Li Er's second son died early, and Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai are the only ones enrolled in Zhongnan Academy.

At this moment, Li Tai slowly stepped forward, respectfully saluted the ten old debaters, and said loudly: "Li Tai, a student from Zhongnan Academy, was appointed to participate in the debate meeting as a representative of childhood children. Please give me your advice!"

it is good!

Before everyone on the stage opened their mouths, the people below began to applaud, such a demeanor is really extraordinary.

Even the elders on the stage nodded secretly. This man called himself an elder, but his salute was the best of his peers, so he had to accept it, after all, he was a representative.

"Zhongnan Academy, come on!"

Behind the ten disciples, 110 students shouted in unison to cheer up, shouting behind as cheerleaders and think tanks.

Unexpectedly, some of the common people gradually began to agree, they were all young and young, and there were quite a few girls.

The faces of the parents around them were all dark. It seemed that the three consecutive days of ideological education had failed, and these boys still wanted to choose by themselves.

Today's Chapter 2, please support!

Chapter 359 The First Debate in the Tang Dynasty

Quan Chang'an has already spread the news about Bai Fan organizing his disciples to have a blind date with the princess. Many young people have gone to ask their parents to follow the example of choosing their own spouse. Some parents support it and some parents oppose it.

In today's venue, it can be seen from the number of seats on both sides, whoever supports them will sit behind them. Obviously, there are more people who support Wei Zheng and other old people.

After almost the same time, Jin Wang Li Jiancheng walked to the center of the stage, saluted the surrounding audience, and then saluted the two debaters, followed by the judges above the high stage, including Li Er and Li Yuan.

"Everyone, my king, Li Jiancheng, was ordered by the emperor to preside over the first debate in the Tang Dynasty today. I am deeply honored!

During the Warring States period, there was a debate conference held by a hundred schools of thought in the Jixia Academy of Qi State. Today, it is a great blessing that Datang can reproduce the ancient style.

What surpassed the ancients this time is that we invited all the people of Chang'an to participate together. What we discussed was not a theory of one family, but a major issue related to the livelihood of each of our people!

A few days ago, Hou Baifan of Lantian presided over a novel blind date meeting to choose a husband for the princess. Although it was contrary to ancient etiquette, it opened a precedent for choosing a husband independently.

As a result, many younger generations had to choose their own marriages and were unwilling to be referred by their elders, which led to this conference.

But whether such an act of challenging the rules of the ancestors can be promoted throughout the country, whether it can be accepted by the people of the country, whether it is beneficial to the people or has disadvantages, we have invited many famous seniors, as well as new talents, to discuss this matter.

Please be present to be a witness, and listen to what kind of marriage is more suitable for our children.

There are many people at the scene, so please keep order, don't talk, and leave everything to the two parties on stage. "

There was an eloquent opening speech, and Li Jiancheng presided over it very well. The people understood it and cooperated very well. The audience fell silent in an instant, and they all wanted to hear who's opinion.

No, there are still some tiny voices, these are people who are interested in seeing disputes and competitions, taking advantage of the situation to set up a handicap, and whispering propaganda to make people place bets.

During the Tang Dynasty, people liked to gamble. Whenever the outcome was involved, no matter how big or small, everyone liked to gamble a little or two for fun.

But this time is different, everyone pays attention to the arena with bated breath, who cares about gambling gold and silver?After a short time, this group of people was cleared out by the imperial guards who maintained order.

"For the first round, both sides, the pros and cons, should state their arguments and indicate the direction of their own debate."

Wei Zheng stood up and said loudly: "This old man was appointed to represent the Ministry of Rites, Confucianism, and the parents of many children as the representative of the affirmative defense. We believe that the law of the ancestors cannot be changed. It has been followed for thousands of years. The words of the matchmaker!"

good!A large number of think tanks supporting Wei Zheng shouted behind him, and the common people also shouted for support.

The eldest Sun Chong got up and said loudly: "You are polite, the junior elder Sun Chong was ordered to lead the team to serve as the representative of the opposition. We believe that the etiquette should change with the times. Although the parents' order and the matchmaker's words have been passed down for thousands of years, it has also created a thousand years of history. Countless tragic marriages, whether it is the absurd act of marrying [-] to [-], or the family tragedy caused by the discord between men and women after marriage, have brought suffering to the lives of our people to a large extent, so we support the change of etiquette, Blind date to choose a spouse."

good!The cheerleaders shouted their support first, and then the audience who supported the blind date also shouted together. Although there were few people, the momentum was not small at all.

"Okay, both sides have their own merits and demerits, so which one is better, please see the second part where the two sides take turns to speak and defend, whichever side is refuted is a failure. If the winner cannot be determined, the judges will comment and decide."

Li Jiancheng, who had been well trained by Bai Fan all afternoon, memorized the process of the debate by heart, and he presided over it vividly and brilliantly.

On Wei Zheng's side, a great Confucian stood up and said to the loudspeaker equipment: "Although the parents' order and the matchmaker's words are coercive, but which parent does not want their own children to be good? They will definitely choose a suitable spouse for their children. There is nothing wrong with it in the world." Parents, in terms of vision, are more mature than adult parents.

Young people are mentally incompetent and are easily tempted by the outside world. Marrying a wife or marrying a person depends more on appearance. Don't you know that the inside of a person is the most important thing. "

good!color!

嘁咦

A group of parents in the audience applauded, but the audience on the other side taunted in dissatisfaction, making it as clear as the two sides were arguing.

Li Jiancheng hurried to maintain order, and Li Chengdao got up and said, "Your old words are reasonable, so please explain to me what the eighteenth bride and eighty-year-old man mean? Why is this happening? Don't you think it's a tragedy?"

good!color!

A group of young people shouted from behind, and many bold girls also screamed in support.

Bai Fan watched such a lively scene from the corner of the stand, and smiled at his wife beside him, "It's such a grand occasion, it's rare to see it!"

"Husband is really a prank. It was all started by you, but now I take it as a joke!" Li Wanping said with a smile.

At this time, Wei Zheng's side came out to defend again: "Although this matter has existed since ancient times, we have carefully analyzed Lan Tianhou's explanation, and we quite agree with the humanization that Hou Ye said.

The eighteenth bride, Bashiro, is indeed not good. I have worked hard to raise my daughter for 18 years and marry a gray-haired old man. This old man has seen this before, but he thinks he can't do it. "

Hearing this, everyone laughed, this old man is really interesting!

"As the royal censor of the imperial court, I will advise His Majesty about this matter later. Some parents marry their daughters with their eyes closed for the sake of wealth and honor, or marry their daughters to fulfill their friendship. No matter what, they end up causing their daughters a lifetime of lonely suffering. , Even if you can remarry, there is no good family to leave. This move is inhumane.

The daughter's family is dissatisfied and unable to resist. Just imagine whose parents have the heart to make your daughter cry all day long?So I will approve this matter and tell His Majesty afterwards.
