Not long after Emperor Kang Cheng arrived, the arena competition began. After all, the emperor's time was precious and he couldn't be kept waiting.
On the stage, the great scholar Zhang Yong quickly announced, "Today's debate topic is: Was the rule of Tang and Yu difficult?"
Not surprisingly, Fan Quan took the negative side.
Lu Desheng curled his lips, his tone was so loud! He dares to discuss the difficulty of political clarity as a scholar.
Most of the other ministers had the same mentality as Lu Desheng, thinking that the scholar was arrogant.
Lu Songli was not surprised to see this debate topic. During the sixth round of the arena competition, several alternative debate topics were given, and Tang Yuzhi was one of them. The reign of Tang and Yu refers to the ideal era in ancient times when politics were clear and the people were happy. It is equivalent to asking whether it is difficult to achieve a prosperous age of political harmony and people in this dynasty?
Lu Songli went through the debate topics in the arena competition again. She had previously argued about the nature of human nature, which is good, and which one comes last, whether loyalty and filial piety can be both, whether it is easier to do than to know, or easier to do, and finally, 'Can it be done'? A hero is judged by his success or failure'. If you think about it carefully, you can find that there is a certain logic to the debate questions here, and they are step by step.
This set of debate questions highly summarizes the growth process of talents. After experiencing these life trainings and being able to integrate knowledge and action during growth, this talent can become an official. Not to mention, as the saying goes, if you are good at learning, you will become an official. Fan Quan was already qualified to serve as an official before Ding You, but he was unlucky. Today’s debate topic discusses how difficult it is to achieve a prosperous age. There is no problem.
People who have never heard it before will feel disconnected and think this person is too crazy when they first listen to it today.
Emperor Kang Cheng was very calm. It was obvious that someone had already briefed Emperor Kang Cheng on the contents of the past few arena matches, so that Emperor Kang Cheng could smoothly enter the role of audience.
Lu Songli now carefully observes the reactions of Emperor Kangcheng and the ministers present, and can draw the above conclusion. Thinking further, the people who formulated these debate topics had a certain understanding of Emperor Kang Cheng.
Fan Quan won all the above debate questions. Fan Quan does not always stand on the positive side. Sometimes he stands on the negative side, but he is equally eloquent and able to defeat his opponents. In addition, these debate topics are also in line with his growth pattern. From this we can conclude that he is a mature talent, not just good at reading. If she were Emperor Kang Cheng, she would definitely be willing to come and meet this person. Because if nothing else, Fan Quan has almost become the kind of talent that can be used immediately.
Thinking of this, her eyes glanced at Xie Zhan unconsciously, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the Xie and Zhao families are still very powerful, and the process of the two of them joining forces to create and package Fan Quan was very sophisticated. Most people can't handle their serial schemes.
In an instant, Fan Quan was already standing on the stage with the debater from the positive position, and started a tense debate. From their box, you can clearly see the performance of everyone in the ring.
Fan Quan made an impassioned speech on the stage. Lu Songli listened intently and finally grasped some key points, "How to govern the Tang and Yu Dynasties? The saints use their heart, the soldiers use their lives, and the politicians correct themselves... Manpower is sometimes poor, and succession I am not poor...but I am fortunate that I am not alone..."
Extracting it, you can see that the general meaning of Fan Quan is that it is not difficult to realize the vision of a prosperous age in this dynasty. The emperor is diligent and diligent: the soldiers obey orders and guard the country and the country; the officials in charge of the government are correct in their words and deeds, upright and set an example. Set a good example: If the whole of Dali is united, Dali will not be far from a prosperous age. The efforts of one person or a generation are limited, and the vision of a prosperous world may require more successors or descendants to succeed. Well, that's probably what it means.
After hearing this, Lu Songli felt relieved. Fan Quan was just painting a cake for the emperor. Isn't this guy a painter in his previous life?
Look, this cake is big and round, and it looks delicious. If this were said to the powerful and ambitious Emperor Kang Cheng twenty years ago, he would appoint a good envoy. However, Emperor Kang Cheng was old and had bad teeth, so he might not be very attractive.
But as long as Emperor Kang Cheng was still the emperor, he couldn't openly show that he didn't want to eat the cake. After all, an emperor who didn't want to live a prosperous life was not a good emperor. And Lu Songli knew that painting the cake was not the point, the point was to introduce the successor. As an emperor, as long as his head is not dizzy, he must always carry the label of being eager for talents.
Because of this debate competition, Fan Quan can be seen to be a talented statesman and eloquent, at least on the surface it seems like this.
Now it's up to her father to see if he can keep Fan Quan out.
Lu Songli saw that Yan Hua, who was also the censor, could not help but flirt with her father before the real master arrived at the battlefield.
"Master Lu, this Fan Quan looks a bit like Master Lu back then. What do you think of him?" Yan Hua said in a teasing voice.
Who here doesn't know that Lu Desheng was spotted by the emperor during an argument and was brought back to the palace for promotion. Isn't Fan Quan taking the same path he took now?
Even if the people present don't know the inside story as well as others, they can still tell something. There are no stupid officials, not to mention those who can be summoned by the emperor to accompany him are even more human sperm. Fools cannot get close to the emperor.
Zhou Chengzhong thought that it would depend on Lu Desheng whether they would have a new colleague in the censorship station.
Lu Desheng curled his lips, they were discerning. This boy had a bit of the demeanor of his youth, but he is no longer what he used to be. He has advanced. If Wu Xia Ameng was not the same back then, Fan Quan was playing a big trick in front of Guan Gong. Don’t overestimate your capabilities!
Everyone was waiting for his answer, so Lu Desheng said firmly, "No, he is far behind me. There is no comparison at all." His evaluation was not polite at all. It was a joke. You should treat your enemies like this. The autumn wind is as ruthless as sweeping away fallen leaves, so who can be polite?
"You are so immodest." Yan Hua mocked him.
Lu Desheng: "I'm just telling the truth!"
Others thought: It's just a payoff. I really don't understand how he could say such a thing so shamelessly.
Others also persuaded him, "Mr. Lu, it's already very good for a young man like Fan Quan to behave like this. We have to be more tolerant."
Lu Desheng glanced at these people, and they all seemed to be biased.
Yan Hua said proudly, "Everyone's eyes are sharp. No matter how bad you say him, you can't deny Fan Quan's excellence. This time, he won six consecutive debate competitions organized by Zhang Daru. He is known as Fan Liusheng."
Lu Desheng's eyes widened instantly. The emperor privately praised his name more than once for his success. Lu Desheng had won many times.
What does this bad old man want to do? Even his name must be tarnished? shameless!
"Fan Quan Fan Quan, you have committed all kinds of crimes and taboos, your name is rubbish!" You dare to touch him! His daughter taught him the word "peng porcelain", and he felt it was very appropriate to use it here.
"You -" Yan Hua gritted his teeth in anger, "Anyway, people are excellent. If you don't admit it, you can't tolerate them!"
Most of the courtiers accompanying the driver, except for those who were dismissed, mostly stood on the sidelines with indifferent faces.
Everyone doesn't want to see Lu Desheng, for no other reason than the gold medal that avoids death. Lu Desheng, Lu Desheng, the emperor is right to favor you now, but who hasn’t had a honeymoon period with the emperor? Why do you have one more life than us?
