The debate in Lingming Hall ended with the complete defeat of Confucianism.
Not only did he lose the debate, but he also lost miserably in the three martial arts battles.
But it was an eye-opener for Lingqing.
Needless to say, debates, the collision of ideas spark sparks of wisdom and leave behind the accumulation of knowledge.
Let him have a good understanding of the way of heaven, the way of kings, and the way of humanity.
The swordsmanship of both sides was also very exciting.
The Mohist sword is simple and clear, the Feile sword is silent, and the Shangtong sword unites the world.
The solemn ceremonial sword of Confucianism, the magnificent musical sword, and the number sword of exhaustive calculation.
In Lingqing's view, the swordsmanship of the two families is like the yin and yang sides of Tao, restraining each other but achieving each other's success.
It's just that the Confucian disciples are inferior in skills, and it can be obviously seen that they are not as used to fighting together as the Mohist disciples.
Lost in character.
Not only did Ling Qing gain a lot, but seeing the disciples of the school and the princes walking together in twos and threes, constantly discussing the debate and swordsmanship just now, it seems that they all also gained something.
As for the four Confucian disciples, they left Lingming Hall in a state of despair.
Except for the discerner who did not appear, the remaining three people walked around in front of the ghost gate.
However, with the blessing of the gods of the Spirit Kingdom and the methods of the doctors, the severed limbs and wounds on the body have long disappeared.
Only the neat cuts on their clothes and the blood stains on them showed how fatal the injuries they had just suffered were.
"If Xu Zi is fine, please follow Qing to the Ling Palace to talk."
When everyone was almost gone, Ling Qing flicked the whisk in his hand, bowed his hands to Xu Xing, and said goodbye.
"It's just what you want."
Xu Xing bowed his hand in return.
The same is true for the dozens of disciples behind him.
When some of them saw Ling Qing's attitude, they couldn't help showing expressions of joy on their faces, obviously very happy.
Only the young man who had just given up his seat to Lingqing had a calm expression.
At this time, Ling Qing was wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, holding the Wanhua whisk in his hand.
On the contrary, it looks very similar to Xu Xing, who is wearing coarse clothes and linen shoes.
He doesn't look like the king of a country, but like a traveler who is calm and calm.
One of them has no appearance of a living saint at all, he is just a farmer working in the fields.
After entering the inner city, a courtesy officer would naturally take them to prepare.
Lingqing also returned to the palace, changed into court clothes, and prepared to formally receive Xu Xing and others in the palace.
People come to Lingguo to promote their own ideas, not to talk to a Taoist priest.
Lingqing naturally had to have the right attitude and show enough respect.
When he was wearing court clothes and sitting upright in the palace.
There were ritual officers and servants singing and shouting.
"Invite farmer Xu Zi and his disciples to enter the palace!"
On the other side, Xu Xing didn't have much to do. He just straightened his clothes to make them clean and concise.
After hearing the shout, he led a group of disciples behind him into the hall and saluted.
"Farmer Xu Xing has met Linggong!"
At that moment, Lingqing stretched out his hand and said, "Without courtesy, Xu Zi will sit down with you all."
"When I heard that the king was practicing benevolent government, he also gave the words of a sage to teach the people. If the king does not give up, he will act as he wishes and serve the people of the spiritual country."
When Xu Xing sat down with the disciples, he said directly.
Xu Xing was a native of the Chu State, and he also sought to implement his ideas in the Chu State, but he did not receive the attention of the King of Chu.
Therefore, he gave up his official position as King of Chu and headed north with a group of disciples, preparing to find a wise king who could accept his ideas.
But along the way, nothing could satisfy him.
He originally wanted to go to Teng State to meet Teng Wengong Ji Hong after hearing that Teng Gong followed the previous king, practiced benevolent government, and taught good things.
After that one came to Sakon, all he heard about was the virtuous reputation of the king of Lingguo, who only had one city.
Rescue people in distress, care for the people, appraise talents, teach crops, and beautify and educate people.
At the same time, because of some special reasons, I couldn't help but become curious about it.
Gu Zha
Teng State and Ling State were not far apart. His original intention was to come and see the farming situation in Ling State first.
After all, people depend on food.
It is difficult for a small country to survive. If it can keep its citizens full, it will truly be a good country.
A king can also be called a wise king.
However, he didn't expect that when he arrived, he saw a scene that shocked him.
Not to mention the four cities that were just captured.
In this small country less than ten miles away, all the land that can be cultivated has been cultivated.
There is also a magical method that is completely different from his farm family to plant, care for, and promote the growth of these crops.
There are also some special tools and methods for field protection and top dressing.
This made him very curious.
So he quietly entered Lingming Academy.
It has also passed the test of the spiritual platform and the worship of the sacred platform.
Needless to say about the altar, the combined abilities of these gods are not as strong as his.
As for the spiritual platform, I will give some inheritance to others based on their qualifications.
With his ability and qualifications, he can read the things recorded in these jade tablets at will without even caring about the restrictions set by Lingqing.
At the same time, no one will notice any abnormalities.
Of course, he did not take it by force, but allowed the six jade tablets to give him the inheritance inside.
However, what was contained in these six jade tablets shocked him greatly.
Especially those classics in the scripture tablets.
After learning that these things were all taught by Ling Qing, the king of Ling Kingdom, now Ling Gong.
He wanted to meet Lingqing even more, and if nothing unexpected happened, Lingguo would be a good place for him to promote his theory.
However, he didn't expect that they would meet each other in the academy, and Ling Qing also admired him very much.
After a conversation, he was even more satisfied, and immediately decided to stay in Lingguo to spread his thoughts and doctrines.
"It is our great fortune for the people of Lingguo to have Xu Zi come."
At this time, Gu Zuo walked in from outside the palace. When he heard that Xu Xing was willing to become a citizen of Lingguo, he immediately saluted.
Lingqing had also sent people to search for traces of Xu Xing before, and told Gu Zuo and others about his abilities.
Therefore, Guzuo is no stranger to it.
After talking with each other, Xu Xing felt that he had benefited a lot from Xu Xing's ideas and knowledge, and most importantly, his practical experience in farming.
Now I became more respectful and treated each other with the courtesy of a disciple.
"Your Majesty, I think that my talents are sparse and my knowledge is limited, so I would like to resign from the position of Si Ji and follow Xu Zi in his studies."
When Gu stood up from his left side and came to the center of the hall, he thought about Ling Qing and bowed his head.
"Xu Zicai is highly virtuous and virtuous, a hundred times better than his subordinates. Therefore, before leaving, I hope he can recommend virtuous people to the king.
If Xu Zi is Si Ji, our spiritual country will never suffer from hunger and hardship. "
Before Ling Qing could say anything, Xu Xing stood up and said.
"You are a man who travels far away and has no merit in the spiritual country. How can you hold such a high position? It must not be like this.
I just hope that you can give me a place and a place to live, that is enough. "
"Qing Gu never abandoned our Ling Kingdom for a moment when it was in danger, so how can he be willing to leave Ling Kingdom now?
How can I be released? "
Ling Qing flicked his sleeves and stopped Gu Zuo who was about to speak.
"There is no need to say any more about this matter."
Then he said to Xu Xing: "In the previous academy, my husband and I also met very late.
Since your husband will not abandon me as a small country with few people, I will naturally not neglect you.
Nowadays, Mingji Hall in Lingming Academy is an academy dedicated to studying farming.
There are also various research topics on farming in the hall.
Therefore, I would like to ask you to be the chief minister and preside over this hall.
There is a land in the country, and anyone who thinks it is suitable for research in the hall can ask Siji Mansion to cooperate.
I wonder what your business is, sir? "
