The Qin Dynasty opened the Hengqu Four Sentences, sweeping away all the schools of thought

Gongsun Linglong was not convinced, "Sir, please give me a question."

Li Si pondered for a moment, then said, "Sir, since you said victory and defeat are opposites, then may I ask, sir, are good and evil opposites?"

"Yes." Gongsun Linglong said without hesitation.

Li Si: "Mencius once said that man is born good, but my teacher Xunzi said that man is born evil."

"The virtuous and unworthy of people are like rats, they only depend on where they are."

"Similarly, only by using Confucianism and Legalism to educate the people, follow benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, persuade people to abandon evil and follow good, and use Legalism to restrain the people, reward good and punish evil, establish rules, and create a good social atmosphere, will the country be stable. Do you agree with me?"

Gongsun Linglong: "Yes."

Li Si smiled and cupped his hands, "Good and evil are indeed opposites. Sir, you win this debate."

Gongsun Linglong then understood and realized that Li Si was talking about the reasons why Confucianism and Legalism were selected into the national studies. She agreed with it, and the famous scholars who were not selected had already been defeated by Confucianism and Legalism.

This is an unbeatable victory!

Did he let me go on purpose?

She was feeling complicated. In previous debates, she had always been successful. She never expected to suffer setbacks today. However, she was still a little unwilling to accept it because she had not yet used all her strength!

"Senior Brother!" Li Si greeted him with a smile.

Gongsun Linglong's eyes lit up when she saw Su Xuan appearing. This was the prime minister of Qin State. If she could defeat him, her fame would surely rise to prominence!

"I've heard that Mr. Su Xuan is a very learned man. I wonder if he dares to debate with me?" She immediately issued a challenge.

Su Xuan looked at Gongsun Linglong with a playful expression, thinking that she was walking into trouble. The reason why he came late was because he was afraid that the famous people would cause trouble, so he specially asked Brother Zheng to borrow people to come and help.

"Come up with a question."

He nodded slightly, accepting Gongsun Linglong's challenge.

Gongsun Linglong took off her mask, revealing a beautiful face with a look full of confidence.

She waved her hand, and two disciples of famous masters walked to the center of the booth, leading a white horse.

"This horse is Bai Xue, a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation in my Gongsun family. How about we use this as the theme?"

Su Xuan smiled and nodded.

"May I ask Mr. Su Xuan if you agree that a white horse is not a horse?"

"You mean, this is a white horse?" Su Xuan asked puzzledly.

Gongsun Linglong nodded as a matter of course, "Of course."

Su Xuan waved his hand and called Zhao Gao over, "Zhao Gao, tell her what this is?"

Zhao Gao took a deep breath, then looked at Gongsun Linglong and said with a smile, "Sir, this is not a white horse at all, it's clearly a white deer!"

Gongsun Linglong was shocked. How could such nonsense be possible?

"Deer have horns on their heads, but horses don't. Can't you even tell the difference between a horse and a deer?" She looked at Zhao Gao and asked.

Zhao Gao said seriously, "This is a hornless deer."

Gongsun Linglong said angrily, "Nonsense!"

Su Xuan blinked, "Didn't you say that first?"

"A white horse is not a horse." Su Xuan's face became serious, revealing the majesty of the prime minister, and he asked in a cold voice, "According to you, the King of Qin is not a king? The kings of the six countries are not kings?"

"Are you questioning the legitimacy of the King of the Seven Kingdoms?"

The atmosphere of the debate suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the chill made Gongsun Linglong shiver.

She began to realize the seriousness of the situation. If this matter was not handled properly, it would be tantamount to openly offending the monarchs of the seven countries, and there would be no place for famous people in the world!

"How could I have such an idea?" She said cautiously. She just felt that the people of Qin were more terrible than each other. No matter who she debated with in the future, she would never debate with them.

"Since you don't have this idea, it means you think a white horse is also a horse." Su Xuan retracted his momentum and announced the final result, "You lose this debate!"

"You're cheating!" Gongsun Linglong was anxious, "You're using your power to bully others!"

"Who said you can't use your power to overwhelm others?" Su Xuan didn't care. "If you have the ability, you can do that."

"The weight of words is always based on strength. If you are in a low position, your words will not matter. No matter how eloquent you are, or how great your debate skills are, what's the use?" Su Xuan shook his head and continued, "All the philosophers and scholars are here today. This matter will definitely be publicized. Our Qin State can put aside past grudges and give the famous scholars a chance."

"Let Gongsun Long bring his famous disciples to join the Qin Dynasty and serve our king. We can forgive this matter."

Gongsun Linglong was a little confused by what he said, and she was extremely crazy inside.

Who is the famous artist?

She confuses right and wrong, reverses black and white, talks nonsense, and makes specious arguments. She is more famous than any other famous artist. Could it be that she is a fake?

"This is not a matter I can decide. I will make this matter clear to the headmaster." After knowing the seriousness of the situation, she bowed her head and admitted defeat.

"I believe he won't let me down." Su Xuan glanced at Gongsun Linglong and didn't want to stay here any longer.

Just when he was about to leave, Gongsun Linglong called him.

"Mr. Su Xuan, there is still one question that has not been debated yet."

"I, Gongsun Linglong, am not someone who cannot afford to lose."

Su Xuan turned around and looked at her seriously, then shrugged helplessly. Since she wanted to debate, he would grant her that!

He directly stated the classic debate that has never been solved in later generations, "May I ask sir, which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

egg?

At first glance, the answer seems to come out easily, but upon closer thought, choosing any one of them seems wrong.

The image of the chicken and the egg kept spinning in her mind, and she seemed to be possessed. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Su Xuan ignored him. He walked up to Zhao Gao and patted him on the shoulder. "Well done. I will speak well of you in front of the king."

Zhao Gao gave a flattering smile, "Thank you, Prime Minister."

Only after Su Xuan left did his face turn gloomy.

He knew that his reputation would be completely ruined after this incident. No matter who mentioned him in the future, they would inevitably mention that this was Zhao Gao who called a horse a deer!

He was almost equated with a treacherous villain, and his career path in the government was completely cut off!

Not to mention the prime minister, he would never be allowed to hold any important position.

If it was possible to curse someone to death, Zhao Gao would have cursed Su Xuan to death thousands of times by now.

Be patient, he still reminded himself in his heart.

Endure what ordinary people cannot endure! Since he cannot stand up in front of Ying Zheng, he will support the next King of Qin. His disciple Hu Hai is naturally close to him. As long as Hu Hai becomes the King of Qin, will he still be afraid of not getting power?

As long as you don’t die, you will always succeed!
