NOVEL NEXT Chapter 77 Look at her father
Not long after Emperor Kangcheng arrived, the competition began. After all, the emperor's time is precious and he should not be kept waiting for long.
On the stage, the great scholar Zhang Yong quickly announced, "Today's debate topic is: Is the governance of Tang and Yu difficult?"
As expected, Fan Quan took the opposing position.
Lv Desheng curled his lips. He was so arrogant! He dared to talk about the difficulty of political integrity as a scholar.
Most of the other ministers had the same mentality as Lv Desheng and thought that this scholar was arrogant.
Lv Songli was not surprised to see this debate topic. In the sixth round of the competition, several alternative debate topics were given, and the governance of Tang and Yu was one of them. The governance of Tang and Yu refers to the ideal era of ancient politics and people's well-being, which is equivalent to asking whether it is difficult to achieve a prosperous era of political integrity and harmony in this dynasty?
Lu Songli reviewed the debate topics of the competition. Previously, they had debated whether human nature is good or evil, which comes first, whether to start a family or a career, whether loyalty and filial piety can be achieved at the same time, whether knowing is difficult or doing is easy, and finally "whether success or failure can be used to judge a hero". If you think carefully, you will find that there is a certain logic in the debate topics here, and they are gradual.
This group of debate topics highly summarizes the growth process of talents. If you have experienced all these life trials, and you can achieve unity of knowledge and action in your growth, then this talent can become an official. Not to mention, the saying that those who are good at learning can become officials. Fan Quan had already qualified for officialdom before he was in mourning, but he was just unlucky. Today's debate topic, he discusses the difficulty of achieving a prosperous era, which is no problem.
If someone who has never heard a single game hears it today, he will feel disconnected and think that this person is too arrogant.
Emperor Kangcheng was very calm. Apparently, someone had already popularized the content of the previous competitions to Emperor Kangcheng, so that Emperor Kangcheng could smoothly enter the role of the audience.
Lu Songli now carefully observed the reactions of Emperor Kangcheng and the ministers present, and could draw the above conclusion. Thinking deeper, the people who formulated these debate topics had a certain understanding of Emperor Kangcheng.
Fan Quan won all the above debate topics. Fan Quan did not always stand from the perspective of the affirmative side, sometimes from the perspective of the negative side, but he was equally eloquent and could defeat his opponents. In addition, these debate topics also conform to his growth law. From this, it can be concluded that he is a mature talent, not just good at reading. If she were Emperor Kangcheng, she would definitely be willing to meet this person. Because if nothing unexpected happens, Fan Quan has almost become the kind of talent that can be used right away.
Thinking of this, her eyes unconsciously swept over Xie Zhan, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the Xie and Zhao families were still very powerful. The process of their two families working together to create and package Fan Quan was very good. Most people can't stand their chain of tricks.
In a flash, Fan Quan and the debaters on the affirmative side stood on the stage and started a fierce debate. From their box, they could clearly see the performance of everyone on the stage.
Fan Quan spoke impassionedly on the stage, and Lv Songli listened attentively, and finally grasped some key points, "What kind of governance was the Tang and Yu dynasties? The saints used their hearts, the soldiers used their lives, and the politicians rectified their bodies... Human power may be limited, but successors are not limited... Fortunately, my way is not alone..."
After refining it, we know that the general meaning of Fan Quan's expression is that it is not difficult to realize the vision of prosperity in this dynasty. The emperor is diligent in his work: the soldiers obey orders and guard the country and the people: the officials in power are upright in their words and deeds, upright, set an example, and set a good example: the whole Dali is united, and Dali is not far from prosperity. The efforts of one person or a generation are limited, and the vision of prosperity may require more successors or descendants to rush forward. Well, that's probably what it means.
After hearing this, Lv Songli was relieved. Fan Quan was just painting a pie for the emperor. Wasn't this guy a painter in his previous life?
Look, this pie is big and round, and it looks delicious. If this was said to Emperor Kang Cheng, who was young and ambitious 20 years ago, it would definitely work. Unfortunately, Emperor Kang Cheng is old and has bad teeth, so it may not be attractive.
But as long as Emperor Kang Cheng is still the emperor, he can't show that he doesn't want to eat this pie. After all, an emperor who doesn't want to make a prosperous era is not a good emperor. And Lv Songli knows that painting a pie is not the point, the point is to lead the successor. As an emperor, as long as his head is not dizzy, the label of thirsting for talents must be carried all the time.
Because of this debate competition, Fan Quan can be seen as a talent for governing the country and a talent for eloquence, at least on the surface.
Now it depends on whether her father is strong enough to shut Fan Quan out.
Lu Songli saw that Yan Hua, who was also a censor, couldn't help teasing her father before the main character arrived at the battlefield.
"Lord Lu, I think Fan Quan has some of Lord Lu's style back then. What do you think of him?" Yan Hua said in a teasing voice.
Everyone present didn't know that Lu Desheng was picked up by the emperor in a debate and brought back to the palace for promotion and reuse. Isn't Fan Quan following the same path he took back then?
Those present, even if they didn't know the inside story as well as some others, could see something at this time. There are no stupid officials, not to mention that those who can be summoned by the emperor to accompany him are even more shrewd. Stupid people can't get close to the emperor.
Zhou Chengzhong thought that whether they would have a new colleague in the censorate would depend on Lu Desheng.
Lu Desheng curled his lips. They did have good vision. This kid had some of the demeanor he had when he was young, but he is no longer the same person now. He has advanced and is no longer the A'mon of Wu. Fan Quan is just showing off his skills in front of Guan Gong. He is overestimating himself!
Everyone was waiting for his answer, so Lu Desheng said stiffly, "No, he is far inferior to me, there is no comparison at all." His evaluation was not polite at all, what a joke, to treat the enemy, you have to be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, who would still be polite.
"You are really not modest." Yan Hua ridiculed him.
Lu Desheng: "I'm just telling the truth!"
Others thought: That's all, I really don't understand how he can be so shameless to say such a thing.
Others also persuaded, "Lord Lu, it's already very good for the young man Fan Quan to have such performance, we should be more tolerant."
Lu Desheng glanced at these people, each of them was biased.
Yan Hua was very proud, "Everyone has sharp eyes. No matter how bad you say he is, you can't deny Fan Quan's excellence. In the debate competition held by Zhang Daru this time, he won six games in a row and was called Fan Liusheng."
Lv Desheng's eyes widened instantly. The emperor had praised his name more than once in private, Lv Desheng, who won repeatedly.
What does this old man want to do? Even his name is tarnished? Shameless!
"Fan Quan Fan Quan, you have committed all the crimes and taboos, a rubbish name!" You dare to touch him! The word touch was taught to him by his daughter, and he thinks it is very appropriate to use it here.
"You-" Yan Hua gritted his teeth in anger, "Anyway, he is excellent. You don't admit it because you can't tolerate others!"
Most of the ministers who accompanied the emperor, except for those who died, had a cold face and watched from the sidelines.
Everyone disliked Lv Desheng for no other reason than that gold medal of immunity from death. Lu Desheng, Lu Desheng, it's true that the emperor dotes on you now, but who hasn't had a honeymoon period with the emperor? Why do you have one more life than me?
