On March 10th, the weather was fine.
The Imperial College was already bustling with people and very lively.
In addition to the officials and students of the Imperial College, there were more than 300 people from the Sixth Department of the Cabinet to officials of the seventh and eighth grades.
Cheng Shizhou could understand that a group of civil servants came, but what does it mean that you, Xu Huizu, brought a group of military attachés?
Even if you wanted to support Xu Miaojin, you wouldn't bring so many people with you, right?
Well, I have to give Wei Guogong some face, so you can sit in the front row.
Wait, who is this?
Oh, Fifth Rank, let’s go while standing.
Jie Jin was sitting in the front row. He glanced at Yu Xin and Zhang Yan on the left. He didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he turned sideways and asked Xu Huizu on the right across an empty seat: "Wei Guogong, where is the navy?" Is there any news?"
Xu Huizu shook his head slightly and said: "There is no news yet, but it is reported that the Japanese bandits have shown signs of gathering together, which is probably not a good thing. The Governor's Office has sent orders to the Coast Guard to take precautions."
Jie Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, were the Japanese bandits gathering together?
The number of Japanese bandits Zheng He encountered on Cheniushan Island was more than 800. Adding the 200 Japanese bandits eliminated on the way, the scale reached more than a thousand!
Thousand-level Japanese bandits are a powerful force!
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng are both generals who have fought in hundreds of battles. They accompanied Zhu Di on many northern expeditions, and their commanding abilities are beyond doubt. In addition, the navy is equipped with crossbows and firearms, so it should not be a problem to deal with Japanese bandits.
But even so, the Navy still suffered 82 deaths and 200 injuries!
It can be seen that the fighting power of the Japanese pirates is extremely powerful, which is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary pirates.
Once the Japanese bandits land on the island to plunder, they will cause great damage. Ordinary guards may not be their opponents!
"Do we need to send more navy troops?"
Xie Jin asked.
Xu Huizu shook his head and said: "Zheng He did not ask for reinforcements. If we rashly ask the navy to increase its troops, the frontline soldiers may not feel comfortable."
Xie Jin sighed and said nothing more.
"The Emperor has decreed that there are so many people in the Imperial College that it is inconvenient to salute, so please forgive me!"
Wang Yue shouted loudly.
After everyone heard this, they all looked around and saw Zhu Yunwen, dressed in regular clothes, arriving leisurely, followed closely by Xu Miaojin, dressed in the uniform of the eunuch. Seeing Xu Miaojin beside Zhu Yunwen, the officials of the Imperial College looked a little ugly, but the countless supervisors around them were extremely happy.
"I'm here today just to listen and open my eyes. Mr. Xu Jiancheng, this is a big debate.
It started because of you, so let’s take care of it. "
After Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, he sat between Xu Huizu and Xie Jin.
After receiving the order, Xu Miaojin climbed up to the high platform under the gaze of everyone, looked at Zhu Yunwen and Xu Huizu, nodded slightly, and began to say: "Today's big debate has only one main theme, which is the so-called agriculture, business, craftsman, military, medicine, and equipment. Waiting for the miscellaneous studies, can I enter the Imperial College coursework? Now, let me introduce to you the candidates and rules of the debate."
"The debaters who insist on orthodoxy and refuse to allow miscellaneous studies to enter the Imperial Academy's curriculum are Chen Xingshan, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Yuan, the right minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Zhi, the secretary of the Imperial Academy, Mao Hengtai, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Zhuo Jing, the minister of the household department. Five of you, please Get on stage.”
Following Xu Miaojin's words, Chen Xingshan, Zhang Zhi and others who had been waiting behind the high platform for a long time appeared one after another, all in official uniforms, and sat down on the east side.
"This star really wants to retire"
"The debaters who advocate reforming the curriculum and introducing miscellaneous students into the Imperial College are Yao Guangxiao, Imperial College Student, Xia Yuanji, Director-General of Agricultural Taxation, Yang Shiqi and Li Zhigang, Editors, and Wu Yun, Supervisor of Suixing Hall of the Imperial College. Please come on stage."
Xu Miaojin shouted.
Yao Guangxiao, Xia Yuanji and others were all dressed in white, neatly dressed as scholars. After taking the stage, they saluted everyone and then sat down in an orderly manner in the west.
"It's rare that Monk Yao actually wears a hat."
Xie Jin said softly.
Zhu Yunwen smiled lightly, his eyes full of admiration.
Uniform clothing can help express one's stance, this is what Yang Shiqi proposed.
White clothes, white people, innocence.
The implicit meaning is to tell everyone that we are frank and innocent.
On the other hand, the people on the other side were all wearing official uniforms and hats. Those who didn't know better thought they were being interrogated in court. They smelled of officialdom and gave people a sense of oppression of officials degrading the people.
The psychological response to oppression is resistance to oppression.
Although it is only a small detail, which success is not the result of the accumulation of details?
Xu Huizu had a smile on his face. He didn't care about the competition between the two sides. He was more concerned about the performance of his sister Xu Miaojin.
It has to be said that the Imperial Academy made Xu Miaojin transform a lot, becoming less naughty and naughty and more calm and generous. Nowadays, she can face thousands of people calmly. With this courage, she is better than countless men.
"Wei Guogong, Miao Jin's talent can be put to great use."
Zhu Yunwen said to Xu Huizu, but his eyes were always looking at the high platform in front of him.
"Your Majesty, Miaojin is a woman after all.
Even if I have some talent, it will be difficult to use it..."
Xu Huizu replied cautiously.
Zhu Yunwen shook his head, picked up the tea bowl, and said softly: "Broaden your vision. Although men and women are different, their knowledge and ability do not depend on men and women. The capable are superior and the mediocre are inferior. It's as simple as that."
Xu Huizu smiled bitterly. It seemed that the emperor planned to let Xu Miaojin stay in the Imperial College.
Xu Miaojin raised her hand, and the surroundings became quiet again.
"The rules for this debate are as follows: Each side selects three people, divided into the first, second, and third seats, to state their opinions in turn. During the explanation process, the other party is not allowed to interrupt, and other people are not allowed to speak. Each seat has thirty pauses for the explanation of their opinions. No timeout allowed.”
"After three rounds of explanations of claims, people from three seats can launch an attack and defense to one of the other party's three seats. The attacker's questions should not exceed five breaths, and the recipient's questions should not exceed twenty breaths. Each side has three attacks. To argue and to be justified.”
"After the attack and defense, there are no restrictions and you can argue freely within a hundred breaths. The winner of the debate will be decided by everyone in the audience. Now, please prepare both sides."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhi, the director of the Imperial College, stood up and said, "There is no need to prepare. Since this matter is related to the Imperial College, let me talk about it."
Xu Miaojin looked at Zhang Zhi and asked, "Is Mr. Si Ye the chief debater?"
"nature!"
Zhang Zhi shouted solemnly.
"Do you agree?"
Xu Miaojin looked at Chen Xingshan and others.
Chen Xingshan was a little depressed. You are a businessman, how can you be so irritable?
The leader has not even become the chief. How can you make us feel embarrassed by doing this?
However, now is not the time for internal strife...
"Zhang Zhi will be the chief, I will be the second seat, and Lu Yuan will be the third seat. That's it."
Chen Xingshan made the decision directly.
Xu Miaojin still didn't say anything. Mao Hengtai, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and Zhuo Jing, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, resigned.
The two of them came with the dream of becoming famous. They fought for several days in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and finally managed to squeeze out their heads and become the people in the debate.
But after hearing the rules introduced by Xu Miaojin, the protagonists in this debate are only the first, second and third seats. If he is not among the three seats, then he will not be able to speak at all.
How does this work?
Don't do it!
"I object!"
Mao Hengtai was straightforward, stood up and said: "In terms of eloquence and dexterity, I can be ranked among the three."
