Main text Chapter 840: Dr. Qiu's debate



"Um?"

Qiu Yan's opening remarks surprised the supervisors present.

In the Imperial College, direct lecturers, teaching assistants, and doctors each have their own weight according to their position and authority. However, when giving lectures on weekdays, they must first start with classics and meanings. Even if they are not, there will be some examinations, and the opening remarks should not be separated from the Four Books and Five Classics.

You must know that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, this Doctor of the Imperial College was called Doctor of the Five Classics, and he was in charge of the First Classic. It can be seen that even as the institution became more and more perfect, the division of powers gradually became more detailed, and the authority of the doctor increased, the original system was still inherited, with a maximum of five people. .

Not many people like Qiu Yan started with common words without mentioning the meaning of the scriptures. However, when he started talking about the national war, it really made many supervisors jump in their hearts.

Their recent thoughts have indeed been lingering on this matter, but in normal prison lectures, they will not talk about these matters. Even if a prison student asks, they will usually talk about it in one sentence without getting into more entanglements.

"What? I heard that you and others are very knowledgeable about the national war. We often talk to each other and have articles and insights circulated in the capital. I have some free time today, so I will discuss it with you."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qiu Yan said these words again. At the same time, he also saw a familiar face in the crowd, it was Fang Ziyan who was questioned before.

Speaking of Fang Ziyan, there is still a dispute between him and Qiu Yan. He and Gu Yan were known as the talented men of Jiannan Road. They went to Wuxin City and met Qiu Yan there, and then they became jealous. When it came to the provincial examination, Fang Ziyan stumbled, and was counterattacked by Qiu Yan. His mind was greatly affected, and then he disappeared and returned.

Unexpectedly, we would meet again in the Imperial College.

Fang Ziyan also noticed Qiu Yan's gaze, an unnatural look flashed across his face, and then returned to normal, with a calm attitude.

"It seems that Fang Ziyan's mood has changed compared to before." Qiu Yan knew better after seeing the other party's reaction. Nodding secretly.

On the other side, Qiu Yan's words shocked many supervisors, thinking that he meant something. After all, not all supervisors wanted to argue with Qiu Yan. As soon as these two words were spoken, people's hearts changed. change.

However, some see it as an opportunity.

"This Dr. Qiu is about the same age as us. But the things he has experienced are far beyond what we can compare with. He said these two sentences, in conjunction with his own momentum, to scare us and make us afraid to come forward! However, , this can also be seen as a kind of guilty conscience. I may not be as knowledgeable as him, but I am smart enough to draw inferences from one instance. He must not have expected it. I have seen through his lies. In this way..."

The person who came up with this idea. His name is Chen Feifei, and he is quite famous among the supervisors. He is among the best in academic studies and is favored by many direct lecturers and doctors. At the same time, he is also very discerning and can debate with others. When it comes to current affairs, he is often right, and he is regarded as a person who cannot be ignored in the future officialdom.

With these praises, Chen Feifan thinks very highly of himself and once said: "In terms of knowledge, I am not as good as the number two scholar, but in terms of being an official, you will still rely on me in the future!"

From these words, we can also see his ambition.

Now, he thought he had found Qiu Yan's weakness, and immediately had the idea of ​​taking a risk!

"In terms of knowledge and status, I am not as good as Dr. Qiu, but in terms of understanding of officialdom, he may not be as good as me! The way to be an official is to be famous first! Today may be the time for me to become famous!"

As soon as he thought about this, Chen Feifan raised his hand and tapped on the table, and winked at the people around him.

A few people understood each other and spoke out. Due to their different positions, it gave people a sense of collective emotion for a while, and what they said was the same as the previous discussion, nothing more than some generalized ideas. Accusation——

For example, one person said: "Rushly provoking a national war will cause great harm to the people in the border areas."

Another person said: "The reform has just begun and the national treasury has not yet been filled. If a war breaks out at this time, it will undoubtedly consume money and food. Excessive consumption will be detrimental to the country."

Some people even spoke very sharply, believing that provoking a war at this time would shake the foundation of the country, be detrimental to the country's future, and be suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

This statement can be described as heart-breaking. If it is mentioned in the court, it will make the emperor feel uncomfortable and will immediately cause a big storm. But if it is mentioned in this class and it is said by the supervisor, the responsibility is not that big. It really needs to be investigated. , the headache is also straightforward, Dr.

After these people finished talking to each other, the atmosphere in the room became more solemn. Anyone with a clear mind would easily understand who these words were directed at.

"Chen Feifan and his group want to use these words to take the lead, and from the perspective of justice and honor, while ignoring factors such as knowledge, they introduce Dr. Qiu into their preset discourse environment. I don't know if this Dr. How to deal with it? He asked it. Now that the question has come out, it must be answered. "

In the midst of all kinds of expectations, Qiu Yan shook his head slightly, showing a bit of regret, and then said: "Although you have done some research on this debate technique, the real essence has not been touched upon."

"Um?"

Upon hearing his words, all the supervisors present were stunned.

Outside the door, several older men were walking slowly, most of them with white beards. Looking at their clothes, they were clearly the wine sacrificers, the bookkeeper, and other doctors.

These officials of the Imperial College are also curious about Qiu Yan. The source of the recent changes is more or less related to Qiu Yan. However, after he got the position of the Imperial College, he has not set foot in the Imperial College once. Now, of course, he is attracting attention. .

However, several people had vaguely heard the words of the supervisor from a distance before and understood what was going on. They had heard some rumors about the fact that someone among the supervisors wanted to argue with Qiu Yan.

"I wonder how Dr. Qiu will deal with it." Someone immediately said lukewarmly.

After Qiu Yan took office, he affected the interests of Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan in the Chengzhi Department. In an academic institution like the Imperial College, he was not exempt from vulgarity. There were similar things. Some people had implicit hostility. Although they suppressed it and did not show it, they There are some hints in the words.

"Look and listen." The Imperial Academy, who had white hair and beard but a rosy complexion, whispered softly during the ceremony, stopped the words of those around him, then stopped, stood by the window and listened, and heard Qiu Yan's words about "debate".

Someone immediately frowned.

"Although debating is essential for learning, it is a side channel after all. The key lies in the principles of classics and meanings. Why would Qiu Bo say such a thing? Does he want to teach the tricks of that famous master and strategist?" Among the doctors of the Five Classics, some people spoke out and showed their dissatisfaction.

Those who are most dissatisfied with Qiu Yan are these Ph.D.s. Although they have heard of Qiu Yan's reputation, they stayed in the Imperial College to teach and study through hard work. Suddenly, a young boy got such a position. Even if I know that he has become famous and created the prototype of a school of thought, I still feel unhappy in my heart.

This kind of unhappiness is difficult to eliminate based on reputation alone. After all, doctors of the Five Classics themselves are knowledgeable. To convince such people, you cannot rely on reputation, but on ability!

But at the moment, Qiu Yan's handling of the matter was a bit inconsistent with their wishes.

The Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine also remained silent, still watching and listening.

At this time, Qiu Yan in the room said again: "There is a difference between debating with ordinary people and debating with learned people. If you use your momentum and morality to suppress people, it's okay to deal with ordinary people, but you can touch your chest." If you have mountains and valleys and a well-written mind, you will inevitably be unable to do what you want.”

These words were extremely unexpected. The supervisors who spoke looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to respond. In their plan, Qiu Yan should have elaborated on the rights and wrongs of the national war, rather than debating skills!

"The opposition is trying to avoid the important and take the easy. It means that it is difficult to answer, and it is speechless. How come they don't know how to take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"

Seeing the confused expressions of several people, Chen Feifan frowned, stepped forward, and said with dignity: "What does Dr. Qiu mean by this? Although we intend to argue with you, we do it for the sake of the country and the people, and we want to point out the country's How come I have set an example for everyone in the world by taking the right path, and how could such a noble act turn into a trick?"

The righteousness of his words and the upright look on his face made anyone who saw him feel that he was a person with compassion for the world.

At the window, Jijiu and others who were watching also nodded secretly, quite agreeable.

In fact, the entire Imperial College was not in favor of the national war.

At this time, I heard Qiu Yan say: "What you said is still relying on empty words to arouse other people's emotions. Everyone..." As he spoke, Qiu Yan withdrew his eyes from Chen Feifan's face and scanned the scene, "Today , Qiu mentioned this conversation method that seems correct, but actually has hidden dangers. "

"Huh? Why doesn't Qiu Yan respond positively?" At this time, even the people who were drinking wine outside the window frowned, and then upon hearing Qiu Yan's words, the frown relaxed again.

"To express dissatisfaction and criticize the government and national conditions, there are two main things needed. One is a moral high ground, and the other is a practical proposition."

When Qiu Yan spoke, he also glanced outside the window and nodded slightly. He had met several colleagues, but he did not stop talking and said to himself: "There is no need to say more about moral principles, but there is a saying for opinions. The general idea is, according to them, People's opinions, whether it is government or military affairs, will be better than now!"

"What is Dr. Qiu's intention?" Outside the window, Jijiu's eyes flashed with thoughts, and behind him there were two faint haloes of Baijia's light flickering, obviously he was thinking deeply.

"but……"

In the room, Qiu Yan changed the subject: "It is easier said than done to come up with better ideas and policies? This requires experience, experience, and even many failures as a prefix to be able to summarize it. Even the officials of the imperial court may not be able to do it. It can be done, let alone you?" At this point, Qiu Yan's eyes gradually became colder, and the surrounding temperature also dropped.

"If you can't come up with a perfect and feasible idea, what should you do if you want to express what you have learned and make people agree with you? In fact, it is very simple. Most people will choose a trick, that is, to describe the current situation as filthy and denigrate the political affairs in front of them as useless! "(To be continued...)
