Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 463: One against sixteen, no panic at all (please subscribe!!)

"Your Majesty, since this is a debate in court, I would like to request that the bracelets and shackles of the fifteen great Confucians be removed, and that they be allowed to burn incense, bathe, change into Confucian robes, and then have a fair duel with Ouyang Consort!" Li Shanchang said.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he did not make an immediate decision, but turned to look at Ouyang Lun, "Do you have any objections to Li Shanchang's request?"

"Of course there is!"

Ouyang Lun said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, my son-in-law has just said that he only wants a quick victory and goes back to take care of the baby as soon as possible. Master Li insists on burning incense, bathing, changing into Confucian robes, etc. Do you think you are doing something wrong? ?”

"You use your mouth to argue, and nothing else is used. Can you argue? If you can't argue, then follow the previous rules, drink poison at once, break your limbs, and be a bystander for the rest of your life. You can't say you can't write!"

As soon as these words came out, the fifteen great scholars immediately became honest.

"No, no, no!"

"It's okay to debate like this!"

"Wearing bracelets and shackles will help me focus even more!"

Perhaps they felt it was a bit embarrassing to reject it like this, these great scholars added.

"Your Majesty, we can win against Ouyang Lun even without burning incense and bathing or changing into Confucian robes!"

"That's right, we don't need it!"

"We are very confident in our own strength!"

Hearing these words, Ouyang Lun sneered, "If you really had confidence, you wouldn't have sent fifteen of you. But it doesn't matter. Fighting one is fighting, fighting a group is fighting. To me, it's all the same. Who hasn't had a debate with a group of scholars?"

"Let's get started!"

The fifteen great Confucians supported by Li Shanchang are also full of confidence at this moment. After all, debating is the strength of their Confucian lineage. They must win Ouyang Lun this time!
Li Shanchang is full of expectations in his heart. Although he is not facing Ouyang Lun directly, there is no doubt that this is the most important battle since Li Shanchang returned to the court, and it is also the first battle with Ouyang Lun.

In Li Shanchang's impression, Ouyang Lun was very naughty, and his thoughts were even more unpredictable. He thought that Ouyang Lun would dodge the proposal of a court debate, but he never expected that Ouyang Lun was straightforward. Agree.

Ouyang Lun only has one person, but he has fifteen people on his side. He can also make last hits at critical moments. In this way, there are sixteen people, sixteen to one, and the advantage lies with him! !

Li Shanchang was also curious about how Ouyang Lun would respond!

"Since both parties have no opinions, I announce that the court debate on the Ming Dynasty education model will now begin!"

Following Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the civil and military ministers moved aside on both sides to vacate the center of the hall.

Fifteen great scholars lined up in a row. Although they were wearing bracelets and shackles, they exuded the aura of scholars and looked quite stylish.

On the other hand, Ouyang Lun was alone, more or less alone, but Ouyang Lun's face was as normal and quite calm.

The fifteen great scholars looked at each other, and one of them took a step forward and said loudly: "I am..."

"Stop it!" Ouyang Lun interrupted immediately and said angrily: "Don't you want to introduce yourself first? A self-introduction takes half a quarter of an hour. There are fifteen of you. When you finish introducing yourself, Two hours have passed and you still have to argue!"

"Who else knows your names? I didn't know you in the past, I don't want to know you now, and it is even less likely to know you in the future. And I believe that after today, you will disappear in the long river of history, so your names are insignificant. ”

"Let's get straight to the point."

"This" the fifteen great scholars were angry and annoyed when they heard Ouyang Lun's words.

"Crazy man!"

"Treacherous minister!"

"Name is one of the most important things for a person, how could you not say it!"

"A person lives a lifetime and leaves his name in history. How important is a name, but in the eyes of a treacherous minister like you, it is insignificant!"

"If it weren't for the fact that today is a crisis of survival for our Confucian school, we would really be ashamed to argue with you!"

Fifteen great scholars immediately began to criticize Ouyang Lun verbally and writingly.

"The name is just a code name. Don't say it so holy. No matter how nice your name is, if you don't do things well and you are not good enough, let alone leave a name in history, you will probably be despised by the world." Ouyang Lun took his ears and didn't think so. He said: "Let me make it clear first that it is Mr. Li who asked me to debate with you. If you feel that expressing your opinion with me would damage your so-called reputation, you don't have to express your opinion. I don't care."

After saying that, Ouyang Lun spread his hands and looked at the scholars with a smile.

"you!"

After hearing Ouyang Lun's words, these great scholars were so angry that they immediately broke their defenses.

"No, it's yours. It sounds like I'm targeting you. In fact, I'm helping you. Think about it for yourselves. If you guys really say your names, the historians in this hall will definitely record them. From now on, It will be written in the history books that on a certain day of a certain year, a certain person, wearing a prison uniform, bracelets, and shackles, debated with his consort Ouyang Lun in the main hall, and finally lost completely and lost the face of Confucianism."

"Would you like to leave your name in history like this?"

"This" the fifteen scholars were once again stunned. Although they wanted to refute, they felt that Ouyang Lun's words were reasonable. Although they said they wanted to win Ouyang Lun in the debate, they were not completely sure in their hearts. Today's debate The debate between them and Ouyang Lun about educational concepts is also about the life and death of Confucianism. If they win, then they will be the heroes who save Confucianism. If they lose, then they will destroy Confucianism. The crime!

They didn't want to bear this insult. Thinking about it this way, it didn't seem unacceptable to say no names.

However, the fifteen great scholars naturally would not admit that Ouyang Lun was right, so they all spoke to the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang.

"Please ask His Majesty the Emperor and Elder Li Shan to seek justice for us!"

Hearing this, Li Shanchang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is better to let the great scholars introduce themselves, so that the debate can be formal."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Li Shanchang, didn't you just listen to what Ouyang Lun said? I really asked them to introduce each of them. An hour or two has passed, and I am not interested in their names and resumes."

"Even if I agree, ask all the civil and military officials if they agree!"

The self-introduction here is not just a name, but a very detailed life resume, which is equivalent to a summary of the first half of your life. If it were a normal debate banquet, it would be no problem for you to introduce yourself, but now But in the court, everyone was listening to the two sides debating whether the new education model or the Confucian education model was better. Who would listen to you reciting the summary of life!

These great scholars have a lot of troubles!

"Your Majesty, I think it would be better to skip some details and start directly!"

"Seconded!"

"I also second the proposal!"

"That's right, after morning service, we still have to do things, so we can't waste time!"

The emperor refused and most civil and military officials opposed it, and Li Shanchang could only shake his head at the fifteen great scholars.

"It's so insulting to gentlemen!"

The fifteen great Confucians were quite unwilling, but now they had nothing to do. They still had a chance to debate Confucianism, but if they didn't debate, then there would really be no chance at all.

"In that case, let's get started!"

"I'll ask Prince Consort Ouyang first."

One of the great scholars was about to speak, but Ouyang Lun raised his hand to stop him. "Ouyang Lun, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "You said you wanted a quick victory, but in the end you stopped everything."

"Your Majesty, I really want a quick resolution so that I can go home and take care of my baby, but you can't make me have an extremely uncomfortable debate," Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"You've got a lot of things to do, so tell me what's going on."

Zhu Yuanzhang said a little impatiently.

"Your Majesty, my son-in-law is fighting one against fifteen today."

"Are you afraid? If you are afraid, it is still too late!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Of course I'm not afraid, but I'm just a little uncomfortable. Fifteen people were staring at me at the same time. If they were all young women, I wouldn't say anything. But the key point is the fifteen old men who are over fifty years old. I feel It's not fair for me to think clearly," Ouyang Lun said with a frown.

"Then what do you want?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Simple, just let me sit. I like sitting." Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"Sit down? Do you want me to make you another pot of tea?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"If I had a son-in-law, I wouldn't refuse!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "."

"Someone, bring up a chair!"

"Yes."

"Wait, don't bother, I've already prepared." Ouyang Lun said, ran to the back of Tai Chi Hall, and quickly moved a small table and chairs from the corner.

Seeing this scene, not to mention the civil and military officials, even Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Ouyang Lun, are you doing magic?

Civil and military officials: Ouyang Prince Consort, you are doing something very novel!
"Where did these chairs and tables come from?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked angrily.

"Replying to Your Majesty, this table and chairs were prepared for me when I was at the end of the station. Ever since I carried you to the first row, these things have rarely been used. They just happened to be used today!" Ouyang Lun smiled. He said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. My son-in-law understands. When the debate is over and the court comes down, my son-in-law will remove this chair."

"." Zhu Yuanzhang looked helpless. Ouyang Lun had already said this, what else could he say.

"Then can we officially start now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"immediately."

Ouyang Lun sat on the chair, opened the drawer of the small table, and took out a stove, a kettle for boiling water, a cup for making tea, and a small can of tea.

Light the fire to boil the water and put the tea leaves into the cup.

After doing this, Ouyang Lun nodded, "Okay, let's get started!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and all the civil and military officials watched it all with extremely shocked expressions.

At this moment, the anger of the fifteen great Confucians towards Ouyang Lun had already reached the extreme. One great Confucian immediately stood up and said: "Ouyang traitor, you keep saying that your new model is better than my lineage of Confucianism, but you have never said that it is better. , today I will tell you the benefits of my Confucianism!”

“Confucianism emphasizes people’s inner moral cultivation and the harmony of interpersonal relationships. It emphasizes that individuals should cultivate their own virtues, including benevolence, honesty, etiquette and other virtues. Through personal moral cultivation, Confucianism advocates the establishment of harmonious interpersonal relationships and promotes social stability. and development!”

"My Confucianism focuses on cultivating people's moral character and talents. Through education, people can acquire knowledge, cultivation and wisdom, so as to better serve the court!"

"My Confucianism advocates the establishment of a monarchy, emphasizing the moral relationship and loyalty between monarchs and ministers. It also advocates benevolent government to seek benefits for the people, and requires the monarch to have noble moral character and a sense of responsibility!"

After saying that, the great scholar looked at Ouyang Lun with a proud look on his face, "Ouyang traitor, can your new education model do what I just said?!"

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun smiled and said, "All this talk is just nonsense!"

"As long as he receives a normal education, his moral, intellectual, and physical beauty will be the same. Under the new education model, an ideological and moral course can kill you in an instant!"

"In addition to ideological and moral courses, the new education also includes liberal arts, mathematics, science, and martial arts. It allows Ming students to develop in all directions and lay a solid foundation. In fact, how can you, a group of empty talkers, compare?"

"You're right, next one!"

Ouyang Lun shook his head.

"As expected of the treacherous minister Ouyang, he is really eloquent, but in my opinion, he is simply vulgar!" An older scholar stood up and said.

"Vulgar? If you hadn't seen that you were about to be buried and had a good life in a few days, I would have slapped you!" Ouyang Lun didn't give you any face, "If you fart, hurry up! There are still many people lined up behind you!"

"Rotten wood cannot be carved!" The great Confucian shook his head, "Our Confucian school has many classics, such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, all written by saints. Do you have any classics for your new education model?"

"You have only been established for a short time, you probably don't have any classics, and you have no cultural background at all. You dare to compete with Confucianism. It's so shameless!"

Ouyang Lun nodded, "It is true that the new education model does not have classics like the Four Books and Five Classics, but the new model is never limited to one or a few books. It is based on the entire Chinese culture. Not to mention the Four Books and Five Classics, even other books As long as the school’s works are the essence, students will learn from them!”

"Of course the dross should be thrown away."

"You, you." Daru's eyes widened and he pointed at Ouyang Lun unwillingly, "You are a robber! Shameless! Extremely shameless!"

"Hmph, you are a corrupt Confucian who only knows how to stay in the small space of Confucianism and is short-sighted. How can you be a role model for others and teach others?"

"If I were you, I would just hang myself from a crooked-neck tree!"

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Da Ru was so angry that he covered his chest with his hands. Then he couldn't breathe, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.

Seeing other scholars hurriedly gathered around, Ouyang Lun shook his head, "How dare you come to debate with this mentality? Shame on you!"

"Don't look at it. This old man just fainted from anger and won't die!"

"Next person!"

Ouyang Lun said this again and again, looking at the hot water on the table.

"The water is ready!"

Ouyang Lun picked up the kettle and brewed some tea.

"Ouyang Lun, let me debate with you!"

Among the fifteen great Confucians, another one emerged.
