When Fu Rong heard that Lin Feng was from Qin and a scholar of the Qin Dynasty, he chuckled, with deep contempt on his well-maintained face.
Jin's writing style was also brilliant, far better than Qin's.
There is a chain of contempt.
The scholars of Jin despised the scholars of Qin.
In fact, the cultural heritage of each country must be ranked in order, with Xia State in Zhongzhou as the leader, followed by Qi State in the east, then Jin State in the south, then Qin State in the northwest, and finally Yan State in the north.
This is a sequence of the cultural heritage of the world, and it is also the upstream and downstream of the chain of contempt. Just so, when Fu Rong listened to Lin Feng's self-introduction, he didn't take Lin Feng into consideration at all, with a look of contempt.
Fu Rong looked confident and said forcefully: "You are just a barbarian scholar from the Western Qin Dynasty. What can you ask for advice? Do you want to ask me for advice on how to get rid of the habit of consuming hair and drinking blood?"
"Hahaha……"
Fu Rong suddenly laughed loudly.
There was disdain in the laughter.
Even more sarcastic.
The other Jin scholars and businessmen from other countries in the hall burst into laughter. Everyone looked at Lin Feng with unabashed disdain.
This is how the scholars of Qin are treated.
No reputation!
No background!
You will be looked down upon, this is the reality.
Lin Feng looked as usual, very calm, and said slowly: "As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world. In front of the Qin Dynasty, the Jin State can be said to be at the peak of its literary style. But in front of the Xia State, is the Jin State also like the Great Qin in the Jin Dynasty? What about in front of the country?"
"Today, Your Excellency faced a person who asked you for advice, with an arrogant attitude, wanton criticism, and no heart. When you face the people of Xia in the future, can the people of Xia also use the words of Ru Mao and Drinking Blood to describe Your Majesty's description of Jin?"
"It is despicable to rely on criticizing others to elevate one's own status."
"The sages once said that if you are humble, many will follow you; if you are arrogant, many will fall away. If you are so arrogant and self-sufficient, I am afraid that the scholars in the world will despise the Jin State."
Lin Feng said: "This is not the magnanimity of Jin's scholars, nor is it the magnanimity of Jin's great nation."
brush!
Fu Rong's complexion changed slightly.
Fu Rong's eyes were sharp and he scolded: "Lin Feng, your eloquent words may seem reasonable, but in fact you are aggressive, and you got one thing wrong. Da Qin and Jin are just different. Because Da Qin, They are indeed barbarians. Jin is a country of etiquette."
Lin Feng shook his sleeves and said disdainfully: "Your words are even more nonsense."
"Why do you say that Qin is a barbarian? Did you go to Qin and see the scholars of Qin with your own eyes, wearing hair like hair and drinking blood? Or you were in Qin and saw the king of Qin, married the wife of the former king, and had no regard for human ethics at all. Avenue.”
Lin Feng counterattacked strongly.
Even his words echoed in the lobby, he was full of confidence and completely different from Fu Rong.
This is momentum suppression.
Perhaps the scholars of the Qin Dynasty, because of their background and knowledge, would be afraid from the bottom of their hearts when facing the scholars of the Jin Dynasty.
But Lin Feng didn't.
Lin Feng has no such concept.
Fu Rong retorted: "Of course I have heard these things, and many people have told them."
Lin Feng sneered and said: "As the saying goes, what you hear is false and what you see is true. If he says so, you just think it is so. You don't have any opinions or judgments of your own, and you just follow what others say. This is the academic style of Jin scholars. Is it a habit? Scholars should be rigorous in studying and doing things. However, listening to the wind is like rain, making people laugh. "
Fu Rong frowned even more.
Lin Feng is quite difficult to deal with.
Lin Feng didn't wait for Fu Rong to speak, and continued: "Your Excellency is not from Qin, and has never seen the situation in Great Qin with your own eyes. But I am in Qin, and I came from Qin. I have witnessed everything in Great Qin, and I know more about the situation in Great Qin. everything."
"The State of Jin values benevolence, justice, loyalty and filial piety, and Da Qin also teaches its people to be loyal to the king, filial to their parents, respectful to their elders, and compassionate to the weak. We want the entire Da Qin to provide support for the elderly, education for the young, support for the poor, and help for the poor. , the widowed, widowed, lonely, disabled, and sick all have something to support them.”
“Isn’t this a land of etiquette?”
"Are these things that barbarians can do? Are they something that can be respected by people like hair and blood?"
"It is true that compared to Jin, Da Qin has fewer scholars, fewer scholars, and their knowledge is not comparable. However, there are few scholars and weak foundation, which does not mean that the scholars and people of Da Qin do not understand basic principles such as respecting the elderly and loving the young. The avenue of human relations.”
"A country of etiquette does not depend on the level of knowledge. If you are low in knowledge, you can also talk about etiquette, and you can also be a country of etiquette. Your Excellency swears by it, and you open and close your mouth to despise the Qin Dynasty, but it is nonsense."
Lin Feng's words went straight to the core of Fu Rong's criticism.
Fu Rong's expression was even more embarrassing.
He used to criticize Qin like this in order to become famous, but no Qin people dared to stand up. But today, a young man from Da Qin came, and he was so sharp-tongued.
Lin Feng looked around, glanced at the chattering scholars, and continued: "Your Excellency looks down on the Qin people in Qifeng Tower today, but you don't know that there are countless Qin people in Jinling and in various parts of the Jin State who have contributed to the Jin State. .”
"These people who came to Jin from Qin to survive include those who farmed, some did business, and some even served as assistant officials... The Jin Dynasty's court has always been inclusive, open to all rivers, and called on scholars from all over the world to come to Jin."
"So, there are also people from Qin serving as officials in Jin."
"These people form an inseparable part of the Jin State, and they have contributed to the Jin State. Even the Jin State's court, and even His Majesty, hope that everyone in the world will be used by the Jin State."
"Why do you, Your Excellency, make such distinctions and even look down upon me?"
Lin Feng's eyes were sharp and he said aggressively: "Do you think that the current Jin State should expel the Qin and Xia people, or even expel the Qi people, Yan people, etc., leaving only the Jin people?"
boom! !
Fu Rong's mind felt like it was exploding.
Almost confused.
Lin Feng's words were completely above the line, going beyond his original intention and rising to more national policies.
How dare he discuss national policy as a scholar?
Kick! Kick!
Fu Rong took two steps back and looked at Lin Feng with a hint of fear. This topic of Lin Feng cannot be continued, otherwise the impact of this matter will expand and it will enter the ears of court officials. It will not be good if the Shangguan is unhappy because of his words.
Fu Rong took a deep breath to calm his restless mind, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Feng, what you say doesn't mean anything. What's more, everyone in the Jin Kingdom knows that the imperial court has issued an order to mobilize troops and horses. Recruiting soldiers, we are about to attack Western Qin."
"This time, it is not just our Jin State, but Xia State, Jin State, Qi State and Yan State, the four countries attack the Qin Dynasty. The Western Qin Dynasty is about to be defeated or even destroyed."
"Qin is about to perish."
As soon as these words were spoken, Fu Rong had a look of pride on his face.
The Jin State has begun to mobilize troops and horses to destroy the Qin State. This is something that everyone knows, but he wants to see how Lin Feng can argue?
At this moment, Fu Rong was extremely confident.
He found his rhythm again.
Lin Feng smiled softly and said: "Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, it has never succumbed to any attack. Three hundred years ago, when Da Qin faced the Xia Kingdom's attack at the height of its power, it devoted all its strength to resist and blocked the Xia Kingdom's attack."
"Two hundred years ago, Great Qin ordered the Yan State to cooperate and attack Great Qin together. At that time, Great Qin recovered its strength and still used all the strength of the country to resist, and still blocked the attack."
"A hundred years ago, the monarch of the Qin Dynasty worked hard to govern, and his army was strong, which frightened all the countries. So the Xia Kingdom summoned the Jin and Yan Kingdoms, and the three countries attacked the Qin Dynasty, but the Qin Dynasty still blocked it."
"Although Great Qin was in ruins during the war, Great Qin never lived in an ignoble way and was never afraid. Even now, the kings of Great Qin are working hard to govern, and the people are brave and good at fighting."
"Even if the four kingdoms attack, what is there to fear? The men of the Great Qin would rather die standing than live on their knees. The king of the Great Qin would rather devote all the strength of the country than allow others to bully him."
These words were loud and echoed in the lobby.
It was even transmitted to the elegant room on the second floor. After Xie Xuan heard it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This was the reason why he supported Lin Feng to come to Jin. Da Qin was a hard nut to crack.
It is not cost-effective to attack Da Qin.
Ying Wu listened to Lin Feng's words, and his eyes were full of excitement, because Lin Feng's words were so good.
What a wonderful experience.
When Fu Rong heard Lin Feng's words, he was speechless and a little at a loss. He originally wanted to argue, but unexpectedly he was rendered speechless by Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, what you said is wrong."
At this moment, another middle-aged scribe stood up.
When the middle-aged scribe stepped onto the stage, Fu Rong hurriedly stepped down. He really couldn't win the argument, so he had to step down.
The middle-aged scribe stared at Lin Feng and said: "I'm Zhu Qun of Kuaiji, what you Lin Feng said just now, saying that the men of the Qin Dynasty are not afraid of death and that the kings of the Qin Dynasty are not afraid of a battle, I'm afraid, is just your wish. "
"Once the news of the four countries' joint attack on Qin reaches Xianyang, maybe the emperor of Qin wins Jiuxiao and will surrender to other countries and give in to the emperor of Xia."
"You are a mere ordinary citizen, although you are passionate and admirable. However, you cannot represent the people of Great Qin, nor can you represent the emperor of Great Qin."
"well said."
The surrounding scholars suddenly shouted.
Everyone's faces showed expressions of approval and admiration. Previously, Lin Feng spoke alone, but the hall was completely silent. Many scholars were unable to refute.
Now, someone finally refuted it.
Lin Feng sneered and said: "Zhu Qun, what you said is truly nonsense, and it is your own imagination. In the past, Great Qin never surrendered, and it still will not surrender now."
"You said that I cannot represent the emperor of Great Qin, nor the people of Great Qin. You are exactly wrong. I can represent Great Qin. I, Lin Feng, am an envoy appointed by the Emperor of Great Qin. Now I am on an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin, and I am here on behalf of Great Qin."
"Great Qin, fight to the death."
"Great Qin will never surrender."
"One more thing, the State of Yan thought that Qin would surrender, so it sent envoys to Xianyang to threaten Da Qin and make Da Qin give many conditions. The envoys of Yan State even provoked Qin people to death in Xianyang. .”
"My Majesty, the Emperor of Qin, will directly execute all members of the Yan State's envoy."
"This is Da Qin's attitude."
"Great Qin is not afraid of a battle."
Lin Feng's eyes were blazing. Under that sharp gaze, Zhu Qun's cheeks twitched twice and he was speechless.
He thought he had found a good point of view, saying that the other party could not represent the monarchs, ministers and people of the Qin Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he was actually an envoy of Great Qin, so he could represent Great Qin, and he naturally knew Great Qin's attitude.
Wow! !
There was even more uproar in the lobby.
Many people started talking about it.
When each scholar looked at Lin Feng, his eyes changed. The person in front of me is not an ordinary Qin scholar, but represents the Qin Dynasty, and is by no means an ordinary person.
"You are Lin Feng of the Lin family of the Xia State. Now living in the Qin State is a sign of rebellion from the Xia State."
Suddenly there was another shout from the crowd.
Another scholar stood up.
The visitor looked cold and solemn. He walked up to the stage and said loudly: "Xiao Taixu, a scholar from the Xia State, is here to ask for advice. You, Lin Feng, betrayed the Xia State. It was a treason of the Xia State, but you came as an envoy on behalf of the Qin Dynasty. , what a joke.”
"You are so rebellious and unfaithful that you were appointed as an envoy of the Qin Dynasty. This shows the ignorance of the king of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty trusts a person like you who betrays a country. It seems that it is not far from destruction."
When Xiao Taixu's words came out, the surrounding scholars suddenly became noisy again.
Lin Feng was actually from Xia country.
Still a rebel.
In this era, loyalty and filial piety are two criteria for evaluating people. An unfaithful and unfilial person will be scorned wherever he goes. If you don't even have the most basic loyalty and filial piety, no one will hire you.
Many people didn't know why, but looked at Lin Feng with a different kind of contempt.
In particular, Lin Feng came on behalf of the Qin Dynasty and defeated Fu Rong first, then Zhu Qun, and defeated the Jin scholars. Now that Xiao Taixu let out a bad breath, many people were naturally happy and even more happy to see the result.
Lin Feng didn't care about the comments of the people around him. He said solemnly: "Every time people from the Xia Kingdom see me, Lin Feng, they talk about rebellion. They all say that my Lin family betrays the Xia Kingdom and is not loyal to the emperor. It's really a big deal." It’s a joke, and it’s a huge irony.”
"I don't want to elaborate on such a commonplace statement because I have said it too many times, but today, in front of countless people in the Jin Kingdom, I still want to say it."
"My Lin family of the Xia Kingdom has been loyal to the Xia Kingdom from generation to generation. My grandfather Lin Jiuxiao served as the Xia Kingdom's Taiwei. During the war with the Yan Kingdom, he died on the battlefield of the Northern Yan Kingdom. My father, Lin Yuanzhong, was a hussar general, but he was He was framed by others and died on the battlefield of Qi State. Even so, my father still won the battlefield victory and brought prestige to the country."
"The Lin family left an orphan and a widowed mother. Not long after, my mother died of illness, leaving me alone."
"The Lin family does not involve the court."
"What's funny is that after almost ten years, the Lin family has withdrawn from the court, but Yan Wuji, the Minister of Household Affairs, framed the Lin family and slandered the Lin family for treason. The emperor did not investigate the reason, and kept admonishing the Lin family directly. Conquer the family and exterminate the clan.”
Lin Feng's tone became angry.
Every time these are mentioned, the owner's emotions will affect Lin Feng.
It's so atmospheric.
There was even more solemnity in the lobby, and all the Jin scholars were surprised. They didn't expect such a thing to happen to the Lin family.
Lin Feng continued: "The Lin family was confiscated and exiled, and I was even stripped of my martial arts and exiled to the Western Region. If it weren't for the dog emperor Li Chong's mansion, he ran the country without justice, so that there were many thieves in the Xia Kingdom, and some thieves were robbing the country. As a member of the government, there is no way I can escape."
"We, the Lin family, have been loyal to the Xia Kingdom for generations. Two generations of our family have been loyal and martyred to our country. How can we betray you?"
"You said the Lin family was betraying you. What a joke."
"Li Chong's government appointed treacherous men, and Yan Wuji became even more jealous of talents and talents, and followed the trend of others. The emperor was ruthless and killed all his loyal ministers. I ended up living in the Qin Dynasty. Is this rebellion?"
Lin Feng's tone was extremely strong.
He looked around, without looking at Xiao Taixu, and said loudly: "The reputation of my Lin family is known all over the world. My Lin family is full of people. The Dog Emperor said that the people of the Lin family are rebellious. Is he worthy of the Dog Emperor?"
Lin Feng withdrew his gaze, stared at Xiao Taixu again, and said, "You, Xiao Taixu, keep saying that I, Lin Feng, am a traitor and a traitor to the Xia Kingdom. Are you worthy?"
brush!
Xiao Taixu's expression changed drastically.
His cheeks twitched and he was speechless for a moment, because the Lin family was indeed well-known throughout the world.
At this moment, the expressions of the scholars in the lobby changed. They were indeed hostile to Lin Feng, but two generations of Lin family loyalists all died in battle and were loyal to the country. This cannot be blamed.
Such people are also admirable.
All I can say is that Lin Feng was miserable.
Xiao Taixu snorted, flicked his sleeves, and hurriedly retreated, not daring to refute again. He was originally a scholar of the Xia Kingdom. When he saw Lin Feng being cruel, he stood up and wanted to suppress Lin Feng's arrogance. He did not expect to be rebutted like this.
Even, he lost face in front of everyone.
"Lin Feng, you are from the Xia Kingdom, but you turned to the Qin Kingdom due to misfortune. There is nothing wrong with that."
A hoarse voice came out.
An old man, nearly fifty years old, stood up and walked out.
The old man was dressed in a brocade robe, calm and calm. He walked up to the stage, cupped his hands and said: "I heard that you studied under Xunzi, Wang Tong. I ordered the teacher to go to the Jixia Academy of Qi State to preach and teach. He wrote all over the classics and benefited the scholars. It can be said that You are an example to the world. However, you are dealing with the conflicts between the two countries, and you are busy fighting between flies and dogs. I am afraid that you are not worthy of Xunzi's teachings, and you are not worthy of being called a Confucian."
"Wow, Mr. Wang is here."
Among the crowd, some Jin scholars shouted, looking excited.
"The prince is the best at debating, and he is very talented and knowledgeable. He is a master of classics, which is admirable."
"If the prince comes forward, Lin Feng will be defeated."
"Although Lin Feng uses his words to show off his words, the words of the prince hit the point. Lin Feng is a disciple of Master Xun, but now he does not study knowledge, but is just like a dog. It is a pity."
"Such people have wasted Master Xun's teachings."
Discussions came and went.
When everyone looked at Lin Feng, their attitudes were different, because now the direction of the discussion had changed.
Wang Tong stroked his beard under his chin, with a faint smile on his lips, feeling very confident. Lin Feng is very powerful. Whether it involves Da Qin's attitude or the Lin family, Lin Feng can refute it.
However, after receiving Xunzi's teachings, Lin Feng did not devote himself to studying knowledge, but instead dealt with the comings and goings of the country.
This is abandoning the basics and chasing the last.
This is a pity for Xunzi’s teaching.
This is where Wang Tong wants to criticize Lin Feng, causing Lin Feng to lose the support of Master Xun and giving Lin Feng the reputation of being an unworthy disciple. With this step, it will be easier to argue with Lin Feng.
At this moment, everyone was staring at Lin Feng.
Waiting to see Lin Feng’s jokes.
