Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty

at the same time.

A few miles away from Yuhuatai, in a building in the south of the city.

Several figures dressed as ordinary people were sitting around the table, discussing something carefully.

One of the tall men frowned and said:

"I just informed Mr. Bao and asked them to find another way. All the Eagle Guards are in the air to block our hot air balloon. I hope they can do it."

Another man sighed and said in a solemn tone: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for those hot air balloons to break through the obstruction of the Flying Eagle Guard. Once the Flying Eagle Guard blocks all the hot air balloons, what else can be reliable on Bao Gong's side? Can we use the method of igniting fire? I’m afraid our mission won’t be that easy this time.”

"Never mind that."

The leader hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "We have to evacuate according to the original plan. Now we can't take care of anyone but ourselves. After all, we still need to control the follow-up plans on [Taizu's Death Day]."

"Well, that's true."

The companion nodded: "Although there has been little progress recently, the overall effect is pretty good. At least in the short term, those guys in Jinyiwei should not have much energy to entangle with us. Moreover, as long as we can ensure that the people on our line are not left behind, It’s enough in their hands.”

Another thin man said in a deep voice: "But if they really destroy all the hot air balloons and cause the mission to fail, then our losses will be great. After all, without the help of the violent father, we will not be able to do many things." I’m afraid it will be difficult to operate.”

"And Mao Dafang."

Hearing this, several people nodded.

"Don't forget what our main mission is. We can't help you here. Let's evacuate. The Prime Minister in black is always staring at us."

——————

Let’s go back a little bit to the beginning of the final game.

A quarter of an hour ago.

Cao Duan felt uncomfortable being stared at by Yao Guangxiao in front of him.

After taking the stage, Yao Guangxiao did not rush to use his power to question him, but looked at him calmly.

The legendary "Prime Minister in Black" didn't have any kindness in his triangular eyes. Instead, he looked like a sick tiger looking at its prey that wanted to choose someone to devour.

Obviously, Cao Duan has greatly aroused Yao Guangxiao's interest.

If we talk about the Great Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain just now, Cao Duan only defended and tested in the first round, but now his mentality is completely intending to go all out from the beginning in order to defeat the opponent.

Cao Duan took a deep breath to calm down.

After all, this is a public place, so you can't be too rude. The pressure released by the other party consciously or unconsciously is also part of the debate between the two parties.

But soon, Cao Duan realized that things were not as simple as imagined.

Although Yao Guangxiao kept staring at him, his eyes were not focused.

He seemed to regard himself as a background and an unimportant prop, just to observe him and study him...

This made Cao Duan even more nervous.

Finally, Yao Guangxiao spoke.

The theme of today's fifth debate is "The Debate between Ancient and Modern Times", and Yao Guangxiao will certainly not digress from the topic.

"Those who are adaptable are those who are interested in the current situation. Sometimes the sun is tilted, and the momentum has its limit. When the momentum is exhausted, it will change. If it is changed, it will be connected. If it is connected, it will be achieved. If the situation is overturned, how can it be easy to turn the palm of your hand?"

It means that adapting is to follow the current situation. When time runs out and the situation is poor, if the situation is not good, change it and you will become enlightened. Sometimes, as long as you understand, it is very simple to reverse the originally poor situation. Something happened.

His voice was still so low and hoarse, giving people an inexplicable sense of intimidation.

Cao Duan's hands with thick knuckles unconsciously tapped his knees.

The first half of Yao Guangxiao's sentence comes from "Book of Changes·Xici", and the second half seems to be said by himself. On the surface, it seems to have nothing to do with the topic of "the debate between ancient and modern times", and it does not refer to the past or the present, but in fact Every word speaks of ancient and modern times.

The reason is, what is ancient? What is today again?

To put it bluntly, ancient and modern times are a concept of time, and the core of the "debate between ancient and modern times" is not whether the past or the present is better, but whether it should be changed.

Change is the core issue of the “Ancient and Modern Debate”.

Yao Guangxiao's initiative in the first round was used on this. He thought the change was good, so how should Cao Duan argue?

Cao Duan thought for a long time. It was obvious that Yao Guangxiao put a lot of pressure on him. Although the question was not an unusual one, Cao Duan still asked himself to be as thoughtful as possible before answering. He did not speak until the hourglass was about to run out.

"I will no longer dream about Duke Zhou."

Everyone in the audience immediately realized that this fifth decisive game was completely different from the previous four games.

Without the use of long quotations, metamorphosis, personal irony, or using the Ming Emperor as a shield, the exchanges between the two sides were extremely restrained and restrained, trying to express the most profound content in the least number of words.

It's like an iceberg hidden under the calm sea. If you don't pay attention, you will be smashed into pieces.

So, what does Cao Duan’s answer to express his stance mean?

This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius", and of course it does not refer to the "Gong of Zhou" who fell into sleep, but the real Duke of Zhou in history.

Confucius respected the political system of the Western Zhou Dynasty very much, so Confucius expressed his yearning for the Western Zhou society and his admiration for the Duke of Zhou by "dreaming about the Duke of Zhou". Confucius used the words "I will no longer dream about the Duke of Zhou" to metaphorically express his feelings for the Zhou Dynasty. The loss of modern etiquette culture.

In other words, Cao Duan did not directly say that he thought ancient times were good, but he clearly expressed his attitude by borrowing this allusion from Confucius.

The Duke of Zhou represents Zhou Li.

Confucius believed that the Zhou rites were necessary to govern the country with etiquette. Yan Hui asked how to govern the country. Confucius said: "When traveling to Xia, ride on the chariot of Yin, wear the crown of Zhou, and play Shao and Wu." In Mencius's time, Mencius had an accurate definition of etiquette, that is, "the reality of etiquette and the integrity of etiquette and etiquette are both." The "element" here is to achieve social harmony by controlling people's desires, emotions, etc., and "literature" is "It is to decorate and beautify the form of interpersonal communication and obtain a civilized form, that is, etiquette is to promote the civilization of social relations and interpersonal communication forms.

"Yu Yu is so literary, and Zhou Li is so great."

Cao Duan launched his offensive carefully and cautiously. The first half of the sentence was Confucius's original words, and the second half stuck to the Zhou rites that represented "ancient".

Of course, Cao Duan, like Xie Jin, insisted on Zhou Li, not because they really believed in it, but because it was an absolutely unmistakable academic correctness in Confucianism. Confucius said it over and over again. , you can’t go wrong with this one.

Yao Guangxiao shook his head. He did not show any sharpness, but said calmly:

"The Duke of Zhou's rituals are indeed a great achievement of hundreds of saints, and they seem to be able to connect to the endless changes in the world. However, since the princes have been established, the king of Zhou only supports his emperor's imaginary weapon and clings to Zhou's rituals. However, even though he was cut off from heaven at that time, If there are those who can adapt to the system of Duke Zhou and practice it, the world will not need Zhou, and the skills of Duke Zhou have not yet begun to be exhausted."

Yao Guangxiao's answer here first affirmed the Duke of Zhou, and then said that during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, when the princes came together, Zhou Li did not play its due role. At this time, although the Zhou Dynasty was not as good as before, if there was a king who knew how to adapt, he could If the Zhou rites are reformed, then even if the world still does not belong to the Zhou Dynasty in the end, the system of Duke Zhou can be passed on endlessly (through reform).

Obviously, both sides want to focus on the proposition of Zhou Li to debate whether the system should change with the progress of the times.

This is also the most profound proposition facing the Ming Dynasty’s temples today, that is, should we push the reform to a deeper level or stop it immediately?

Now that the answer has been completed, Yao Guangxiao began his counterattack:

"The Book of Rites of Zhou contains the legacy of the previous kings. Confucius lamented its melancholy writings, but he knew that the merits of heaven and earth cannot be prepared here. There will be saints in the future, and they cannot add anything to it... However, if human beings are prepared, then It is enough to understand the principles of the world, and to understand the changes in the world. The principles of adaptability are there, and the way of Zhou Gong has reached this point and flowed with the heaven and the earth. How can it be so poor?"

"The general trend of the world cannot be changed by heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, but humans are the ones who can change it. There is heaven and earth, and humans are established in it. Humanity is established and the world is not unable to do so. The sage discusses the Dharma image of "Yi" and returns to it. Regarding flexibility, when it comes to people who adapt and return, there is nothing wrong with them."

The first paragraph is a refutation of Cao Duan's "Yu Yu Hu Wenzai", and the latter paragraph is the view of Chen Liang and Zhu Xi Wang Ba during the debate, and was quoted by Yao Guangxiao.

The core theme of Yao Guangxiao's counterattack is to inherit his initial statement of "flexibility according to the current situation" and further extended to "the key to flexibility lies in people".

In other words, it means that it should be different from person to person, rather than rigidly following the example of the ancestors.

Although there was no verbal exchanges in the decisive game, this kind of duel with heavy swords and no sharp edges, and a lack of skill and skill, seemed more dull and exciting than all the previous games.

It was so exciting that even Gao Xunzhi and Wang Yuli, who were lying on the street drinking soup, held their breath unconsciously and couldn't take their eyes off the profound meaning contained in each move of their debate.

The two held their own opinions and argued with each other, and the wisdom reflected in the debate also caused the two to show the most surprising scene since the beginning of the match - they were not just explaining their opinions, but They are still closely connected with the current situation in the temple and criticize the current ills. This is something that the "debate between kings and hegemons" and "debate between justice and benefit" do not have. And this state of keeping up with current events obviously makes the debate a little more out of thin air. Weight, winning or losing here is really related to everyone's interests at the moment!

The audience in the audience could not help but fall into deep thought.

Many people have read the works of Confucius and Mencius and other saints countless times, but they have never listened so intently to the debate between the two great Confucians as they do today.

It's like when you are eating, you occasionally see the guests at the next table suddenly eating a dish that is different from yours, forcing others to take a look out of curiosity, and even want to move over and insert their chopsticks.

"What do you mean by this? Who is Duke Zhou?"

Zhu Di, who was hiding in the corner, was bored. He thought there would be some scolding exchange, but who knew that this was it?

Zhu Gaochi was just about to explain to his father, but suddenly he stared blankly out of the window, dumbfounded.

Since they were in the northwest of the battlefield of the hot air balloon air battle between the two sides, that is, on the second floor on the left side of the vertical corridor of the "T"-shaped street in front of the prison, they could clearly see what was happening in the airspace to the southeast.

A dozen giant hot air balloons of the Eagle Guard have all taken off and are intercepting three hot air balloons of unknown origin.

On the horizon in the distance, "fireworks" were exploding one after another. It was the scene of Bao Zhao's hot air balloons filled with fire oil exploding in the sky.

At this moment, the air is filled with smoke and fire.

Although the distance is still relatively far, you can still feel the shocking effect, which is heart-shaking and hard to control!

At this time, Zhu Gaosui, who was playing the role of "Emperor" and sitting in front of the second floor window, couldn't help but murmured: "This... this... is so beautiful..."

Because the window lattice blocked his view, Zhu Di, who was on the second floor, did not see what they could see. He quickly walked a few steps and came not far from the window. Only then did he see the scene of an air battle in the distance. He was stunned for a moment. I couldn't help but be stunned.

Humans, fighting in the air.

Once upon a time, this was simply impossible, but now, in just a few months, it has become a reality.

This is the change that science has brought to military technology!

Zhu Di recalled the past events in his mind, as if he had seen the last lesson in prison, when he and Jiang Xinghuo discussed the future war model, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

At that time, I couldn't believe what Jiang Xinghuo said.

"etc."

Zhu Di suddenly realized a problem.

Who mobilized the Eagle Guard?

It stands to reason that the Flying Eagle Guard cannot be mobilized without its own orders. After all, it is something that can monitor the palace from a high position.

But the unknown hot air balloon that was shot down in the southeastern airspace clearly had bad intentions, so the only one who might or had the ability to mobilize it was Jiang Xinghuo.

But didn’t Jiang Xinghuo go to Xiaguan Pier to pick up Li Jinglong?

At this moment, the person who sent the message finally arrived. It was none other than Cao Afu or Li Jinglong who knew the importance of the situation and did not forget to send someone to explain the troop deployment to Emperor Yongle despite his busy schedule.

After all, this is mobilizing troops and horses in the capital. Although it is not troops and horses in the conventional sense, it is still the army of the Ming Dynasty, and it is still the army directly under the emperor. It is urgent to follow the authority and say hello while doing things, and to make up for the formalities later. Obviously, the emperor The feeling there is different.

After listening to Cao Afu's explanation, Zhu Di looked much better.

It was too late for Zhu Gaosui to play the emperor at this time. After all, intelligence investigation also involved his part of the job, so he retreated to a blind spot invisible from the outside window and waited for his father's orders.

Zhu Di came back to his senses, kicked Zhu Gaosui on the butt, pointed at his son and yelled: "You bastard! What are you doing for food? How can Bao Zhao be so easy to deal with? Can't you tell that you deliberately let down our vigilance?"

Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment, then he covered his body and said with a smile:

"Father, calm down! My son deserves to die. Don't get angry. What should I do next? Please give me instructions."

"First close all the city gates, then send out the Jinwu Guards and Jinyi Guards, change the passwords, and search Bao Zhao's hiding place. If you want to see people alive, you will see corpses if you die!"

Zhu Di said in a deep voice, his tone was cold and extremely decisive.

Zhu Gaosui quickly responded: "My son, I obey the order."

He paused and then said tentatively: "It's just that I want to know, since there has been such a huge mistake, can I personally lead a team to search? I am willing to take the blame and make meritorious service."

Zhu Di originally planned to let him go. Anyway, now that he was wearing this dragon robe, it would not be able to confuse him. But when he thought that Bao Zhao's men were all the elites of the Zhending camp, and they were all extremely fierce, it was hard to say that he was desperate. There will be some accidents. He put the words back on his lips, glared at him and said: "You can't stand it? Don't talk nonsense. After you finish explaining, just come back and stay!"

"yes!"

Zhu Gaosui saluted and said goodbye, and was about to leave the teahouse in a hurry. He turned around and took a deep breath.

Fortunately, there was no big trouble this time, otherwise, his father would definitely have to take action on him!

After all, Ji Gang had been suspended from his post before, and Yao Guangxiao was mainly responsible for tracking down Jianwen's remnants from the literati, and he was mainly responsible for searching for Bao Zhao's traces.

"Wait!"

"I remembered something." Zhu Di said, "I'm going to find someone in the direction of Yuhuatai. I'll go out of the city with a special order, find the Imperial Master, and tell him that I'm summoning him to see him. Go quickly!"

"According to the order!"

Zhu Gaosui surrendered again. Several cavalrymen rode through the streets from behind and then hurried towards Yuhuatai.

With the large-scale dispatch of Jinwu Guards and Jinyi Guards, the city of Nanjing has become turbulent.

As the army was dispatched, people also knew the reason through rumors in the market, because two major events had just happened - the first was news from the direction that a convoy was raided somewhere west of the palace, suspected to be the work of rebels The second thing is that the hot air balloon that tried to attack His Majesty the Emperor was intercepted and destroyed by the Eagle Guard due to His Majesty's wise decision.

In fact, there was no need to confirm the authenticity, because soon the Jinyi Guards and the Jinwu Guards were mobilized one after another, focusing on the east and south, with no intention of hiding it at all.

As for who is the rebel? Who dares to murder Emperor Yongle? Although the target of these people is obviously Emperor Yongle, few people know who is so crazy.

——————

The debate on the stage was briefly interrupted by an air battle in the southeast. Everyone's eyes were attracted by the new things happening there that they had never seen before.

So much so that no one listened to the debate.

Well, this may be the fundamental reason why online courses can never beat online games.

After a while, when the Eagle Guard's hot air balloons formed a long snake formation and turned around to return to the direction of Yuhuatai, the audience's attention returned to the arena.

Yao Guangxiao on the stage didn't feel sad at all. Instead, he watched it with relish for a long time.

The previous debate topic came to "The key to flexibility lies in people." Cao Duan took this opportunity to re-examine his countermeasures and said confidently.

"Where did ritual originate?"

"Human beings are born with desires. If you don't get what you want, you can't stop asking for it. If you don't get it without measuring and demarcating it, you can't stop striving for it."

"Strife leads to chaos, and chaos leads to poverty. The previous kings hated the chaos, so they formulated etiquette and righteousness to divide them, so as to nourish people's desires and satisfy people's needs."

"The desire must not be limited by things, and the things must not give in to desires. The two are in harmony and long-lasting. This is the origin of etiquette."

Cao Duan still did not waver in his basic argument, and still started from Zhou Li. Since Yao Guangxiao believed that the key to flexibility lies in people, he also refuted it from the perspective of people.

Cao Duan mainly quoted from "Xunzi". Here is Xunzi's definition of etiquette, that is, people are born with desires, and if desires are not satisfied, they cannot ask for nothing. Once people ask for something, they will lose their sense of proportion and boundaries, resulting in Disputes, disputes will lead to chaos. The ancient kings did not like chaos, so they used etiquette and justice to divide people's classes and satisfy people's desires, so that desires will not be suppressed by the small number of things, and so that things will not be exhausted by endless desires. , so that desires are not limited to and surrendered to material things, but have spiritual pursuits of etiquette and music.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Duan came up with his thoughts.

"Humans are not as strong as oxen, nor can they move as well as horses. Why are oxen and horses used by humans? It is said that humans can herd them, but oxen and horses cannot herd them."

"How can people gather together? It is said to be divided. How can people be divided? It is said to be righteous."

“Therefore, division means harmony, harmony means unity, one means more strength, more strength means strength, and strength means victory over oxen and horses.

"For this reason, people can get a house and live in it, order the four seasons, organize all things, and take care of the world. There is no other reason to get the meaning of division."

What Cao Duan said here is a bit naive. He directly tore off the gorgeous coat of etiquette and righteousness and directly told its most essential origin in human society.

Humans are not as strong as oxen and not as fast as horses, but oxen and horses are controlled by humans because humans can act together (in an orderly manner). So how do humans act in tandem? It’s just division, how to divide it? Using "righteousness", it is precisely because of the division of "righteousness" that human beings can build houses, farm according to the four seasons, and then rule the entire world.

And then, the straightforwardness of Cao Duan's words made many defenders feel instinctively uncomfortable.

"Therefore, the king's plan was to divide etiquette and righteousness into categories, so that there are distinctions between the noble and the humble, the difference between the elder and the younger, and the distinction between those who know the fool and those who are capable or unable, so that people can carry out their affairs and each can find his own suitability, and then determine how rich or small the grain is. It is called the way for husbands to live in groups and be united."

In other words, etiquette and justice are the criteria for distinguishing different classes of people, and are used to establish the classes and grades of different members of the entire human society. Only by dividing these can we continue to clarify the role and positioning of each social member, as well as his The most fundamental basis for the "clear distinction" between duties and obligations is etiquette. Only the etiquette established by the previous kings can allow people to perform their duties, do their best, get what they deserve, and benefit from their benefits, so that the entire human society can be stable. The ground keeps running.

Cao Duan's words were too straightforward, but this almost frankness was particularly impressive in this decisive game with almost no language traps.

Let's be honest, how do you argue?

Yao Guangxiao's white eyebrows twitched slightly, and he was obviously interested. Looking at the passing hourglass, he quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind.

At this time, it is useless to use small tricks and tricks. Of course, it is fun to refute the other party with the same upright reasoning.

After pondering for a moment, Yao Guangxiao said:

"Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, thousands of years have passed. How can the changes be successful? Scholars have been scattered all over the world. The ancient emperors were unique in knowing things. They spoke and established the government, obeyed the people's wishes, and adapted to the times. , live in its normal state without being lazy, and let it change and the world will be at peace. When Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Han Dynasty, made an agreement to save prohibitions and reform the laws of Qin, he also knew that the world was tired of the harshness of Qin and wanted to have a place to rest, so his monarchs and ministers were in harmony with each other. It was made simple because of its rudeness, with the intention of being lenient, and it was the system of the Han family, and the people were content with it."

"However, in all dynasties and dynasties, those who were destroyed mostly followed the old system of the ancestors. Although there was a slight increase or loss due to revolution, it is not enough to determine whether it is important or not. This way, without thinking about changes, it is difficult to maintain the status quo. However, the old system of the ancestors can be extended. Is there any strategy that can be implemented over the past few decades that can lead to a plan that lasts for 150 or 60 years? Is there a strategy that can be used to restore the foundation that has been built for hundreds of years? Did Emperor Guangwu, the founder of the Han Dynasty, revitalize the Han Dynasty by following the ancestral system of Emperor Gao, the founder of the Han Dynasty? Huh?"

The basic point of Yao Guangxiao's long speech is that history is constantly developing. The so-called "ancestral system" was formulated by the ancestors according to the historical background of different eras and in compliance with the people's will. It is not static. For example, after Liu Bang took over the world, he changed it. The severe punishments and laws of the Qin Dynasty and the rest of the people were eliminated, and most of the downfalls of the previous dynasties were due to the lack of flexibility or the lack of flexibility, and the clinging to the old system of the ancestors made the situation more and more decadent.

But the question is, some of the old ancestral systems can manage for decades, up to 150 or 60 years. Are there any that can help you re-establish a dynasty in a few hundred years? You ask the Great Magister Liu Xiu, was it because he used Liu Bang's system that he was able to revive the Han Dynasty?

Just kidding, not to mention Liu Bang's old system, even Wang Mang has restored the well field system of the three generations of ancestors, how many large meteorite spells can he block?

Cao Duan spoke frankly, and Yao Guangxiao's rebuttal was also sincere, just giving examples to make sense.

But this kind of debate without intrigues made Cao Duan extremely stressed.

The facts are here. From what angle can we refute the opponent without deviating from the fundamental argument of Zhou Li?

Drop after drop of sweat flowed down his young face.

There was a "pop" sound, hitting the table.

This also means that his mental calculations have reached an extreme level and he is almost unable to hold on anymore.

But Cao Duan still gritted his teeth and thought about the optimal solution.

Finally, Cao Duan seemed to have thought of something, took a breath, looked at the hourglass that was about to run to the end, and said loudly.

"All etiquette and righteousness are born from the hypocrisy of saints recognizing people."

"Rites have three origins: heaven and earth, the origin of life; ancestors, the origin of human beings; rulers and teachers, the origin of peace."

"The place of propriety is that there is no evil in heaven and earth? No evil ancestors? No rulers and teachers to govern? If the three of them are partial, there will be no peace for the people."

"Rituals serve the heaven above and the earth below. They respect the ancestors and honor the emperor and teachers. These are the three origins of rituals."

This means that the basis for sages and kings formulating rituals is the hypocrisy of human nature. Ritual has three origins, namely heaven and earth, ancestors, and masters. Heaven and earth are the origins of the survival or existence of all things, and ancestors are the origins of the reproduction of the human race to this day. , Master Jun is the source of the world's ability to be governed and brought to peace.

"Heaven and earth are united, the sun and moon are bright, the four seasons are in order, the stars are moving, rivers are flowing, all things are prosperous, likes and dislikes are in order, joy and anger are in harmony, what is below will be smooth, what is above is clear, everything will not be chaotic. , then it will be mourning, and the etiquette will not be enough!"

——The gorgeous parallelism is nonsense.

At the end, Cao Duan spread out the long map of Yan Kingdom and finally revealed the dagger.

"First there were the Zhou rites, and later generations of scholars refined the rites and came up with the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules, so that kings and ministers, fathers and sons, brothers, and couples, begin and end, and the end begins, the same as heaven and earth, and last for eternity."

"The Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules are the principles of heaven and the rites of heaven."

As soon as this was said, the whole audience cheered!

Cao Duan's superb performance in the face of huge pressure simply impressed everyone.

You must know that Cao Duan's words are not just like other people's, lifting up the three cardinal principles and five constant principles as the ultimate answer to suppress people, but deducing from the "origin of etiquette" to the "meaning of etiquette" and even the final " The development of etiquette”.

In other words, the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Principles are not the beginning, but the result.

Moreover, Cao Duan's words actually mean "patch up" without missing a beat, explaining that the transition from Zhou Rites to the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules is actually a manifestation of change, but this change does not mean overthrowing the root cause and starting over. , but to achieve the perfection of transformation.

Cao Duan's logic is extremely clear, and after the patching, it is almost impeccable!

The Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Permanent Rules are pressing ahead. In Cao Duan's words, this thing is not only a "natural law" but also a "natural gift". How can you, the prime minister in black, break it?

"Wonderful! Isn't this a sure win!"

Listening to the discussions of the scholars next to him, Gao Xunzhi couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"Add more sugar."

Wang Yuli, who was drinking mung bean soup next to him, had a deaf ear. It was Gao Xunzhi who told him close to his ear, and he finally understood amidst the crowd of people.

The leader of the Jinhua School chewed Cao Duan's words carefully for a long time and even forgot to drink the mung bean soup.

"I'm afraid Kong Xilu can be rescued now. Alas, he must have suffered a lot in there. I'm afraid he didn't even have to drink a bowl of mung bean soup in such a hot day, right?"
