Chapter 439: Drinking to strengthen Yue Heng’s courage
As the sun sets, there are gradually more people in the debate hall.
Most of them were students who came to watch the excitement. Of course, there were also some teachers. They did not deliberately divide the areas. The teachers and students who were familiar with each other were also sitting at the same table. The debate had not yet begun, and they were already small. Started drinking.
After the debate hall was almost full, Ling Junjie and Xia Yinping arrived belatedly.
At this time, even outside the debate hall, there were a large number of people gathered on three floors inside and three outside. Many of them were not students but tourists from outside.
"So many people?"
Fu Qingzhou asked curiously: "How many people are interested in a debate?"
"Who doesn't like to watch a debate?" Bai Xiaochuan laughed. Said: "Have you forgotten? Last time Brother Jin came to give lectures, wasn't there a large group of people?"
"Yes." Fu Qingzhou smiled: "Students, it doesn't matter if they are idle or not, as long as they are not Studying in the house is all about fun.”
“That’s right, brother, that’s right!” Bai Xiaochuan slammed the table excitedly: “That’s it!”
The arrival of the two vice presidents, Ling and Xia, means that this debate is about to begin.
The opening sequence was not interesting at all. It was nothing more than a formal speech and introduction. Fu Qingzhou’s eyelids started to tremble when he heard it. What were the names of the instructors who came to judge? He also listened to the left ear and the right ear. Ear out.
On the other hand, the students who came to watch the excitement were in high spirits. Before the debate even started, many people were already drinking until their cheeks turned red. They clapped and cheered from time to time, making the atmosphere very lively.
After the debate began, the other side began to explain the topic first. The person on the opposite side who was leading the debate was the "child of the Yuan family" that Bai Xiaochuan had said, that dark and thin boy... this The boy named Yuan Shihua took out a stack of manuscripts thicker than Yue Heng's hand and started reading.
“Xiaosheng’s opinion is that the imperial court should promote more talents from aristocratic families and official families...”
"Children of aristocratic families and official clans have been influenced by the profound family culture since childhood..."
"...and the glory of their family can also inspire them to forge ahead and keep improving..."
< br>This time, Fu Qingzhou felt even sleepier.
He can go into danger alone, engage in fierce battles, and even investigate complex cases... But you want him to engage in such a formal debate?
I really want to die.
Then, he started yawning profusely.
When he just yawned a few times and his eyelids started to twitch, Yunlu, who was sitting next to him, came over and lowered his voice: "Brother Fu, don't go too far!"
"Ah?" Fu Qingzhou rubbed his eyes in confusion.
“Stop yawning!”
Yunlu gritted his teeth and said, “They are all looking at us!”
Fu Qingzhou looked to the side... Good guy, maybe he yawned too loudly and stretched before he could catch it, which caused everyone around him to look over.
Not only the judges sitting in the front row, but also countless students watching...
After all, it is a debate, look at the other people, no matter what, they are all in front of you Holding a stack of paper, with a serious expression, holding a pen in his hand, he wrote swiss and swish - no matter whether you are pro or con, you have to write down what others say, so that whether you are supporting your teammates or refuting the opponent's fellow debaters, you can also have something to say. Basis!
How could he be like Fu Qingzhou, who was like a second-rate guy, fighting with his cheeks on his eyelids, and yawning until tears came out?
Look at Yuan Shihua, who is still reading the opening argument carefully. He is glaring at Fu Qingzhou with eyes that are about to get angry.
"Strange, isn't it a good thing to have an opponent who doesn't listen carefully?"
Fu Qingzhou lowered his voice and said, "Why are his eyes so round?"
Bai Xiaochuan was taking notes, While turning his face, he suppressed a smile and said, "He thinks you look down on him."
"Oh~" Fu Qingzhou suddenly understood.
Finally, Yuan Shihua finished reading his manuscript and sat down with obvious discomfort.
At this time, it was Yue Heng's turn to speak.
He let out a breath, stood up with the stack of manuscripts in his hand, and read word for word.
However, his voice was a little jerky.
Although Yue Heng is a big-hearted person, it does not mean that he is not afraid of heaven and earth... What's more, Zhangjian Academy is the place he most yearns for in his life. He has not yet been admitted to this place, but he can It is inevitable for him to be nervous when explaining his views in front of countless teachers and students.
Therefore, when he read those words, he stuttered somewhat and seemed not smooth.
In this way, although the manuscript he wrote was very exciting, it still made everyone frown slightly.
Finally, after he finished reading the opening argument and sat down again, a thin layer of cold sweat had formed on his forehead, and even the hand holding the manuscript was trembling slightly.
Seeing this, the debaters across from each other looked at each other, with a little smile on their faces.
"Shan, now both sides have expressed their opinions, and then it is time to ask questions."
At the judging table, Xia Yinping said leisurely: "Both sides can take turns to appoint a difficult argument. One party will answer...Now it is the representative of the family who will take the lead." After the words fell, a debater on the opposite side immediately stood up and looked at Yue Heng with shining eyes: "Brother Yue, I have a question."
As soon as Yue Heng sat down, without wiping the cold sweat off his head, his name was immediately called. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands: "Excuse me."
Fu Qingzhou, Bai Xiaochuan, Seeing this, Yunlu and the other three frowned a little.
The other side thinks that Yue Heng is a soft persimmon and wants to pick him up and pinch him...
"Dare I ask Brother Yue..."
The debater sneered and said: "Most of the people in the world use force to break the ban and act based on personal will. There is no guarantee that there will be no blood on their hands. If the court wants to use such people, how can it ensure that they are not committing crimes or committing great crimes?" Disciple? "
Yue Heng was shocked.
The other person asked a very pointed question as soon as he came up...
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He opened his mouth twice, but he didn't spit out a word. He was so anxious. Bai Xiaochuan and Yunlu also started to sweat.
For a short time, the venue fell into an awkward silence. The debaters on the opposite side sneered. Many viewpoint students shook their heads. Ling Junjie’s brows were even more wrinkled like iron locks.
At this moment...
"Brother Yue, come."
Fu Qingzhou lowered his voice and handed over a glass of wine: "Drink some."
Yue Heng: " Ah?”
“Ah what?” Fu Qingzhou winked at him: “Get some energy!”
Yue Heng gritted his teeth, responded, took the wine and drank it down in one gulp.
Fu Qingzhou laughed - his good brother was extremely talented, but Yue Heng, who did not drink, was still a little less heroic.
Yue Heng suddenly drank a lot of strong alcohol on the spot, making everyone around him startled.
"What is this guy doing? He's waiting for him to answer questions across the street, why is he still drinking?"
"After all, he's not from our Sword Palm Academy... This is ridiculous. ”
"Why did Vice President Ling find these people to debate this time? One was dozing over there, and the other was still drinking here? If we want to drink, we should drink too?"
As the discussion gradually became louder, When he raised it, Yue Heng put down his wine glass.
He is a person who drinks so much that his face turns red immediately after drinking a glass of strong drink.
But at the same time, this flash of red... also quickly eliminated his timidity.
“Good question!”
Yue Heng's eyes widened and he slapped the table: "Then the children of aristocratic families don't bully others!"
The debater opposite who asked the question originally had a sneer on his lips, but he slapped the table. , asked back, and was immediately startled.
Yue Heng ignored him and said bluntly: "The imperial court should select talents based on their ability and political integrity, rather than judging heroes based on their birthplace!" , but they are not all willful and reckless people... The reason why they practice martial arts is to protect themselves, to act chivalrously, or to settle down and live in peace. They are not all criminals as the world says! "
“If the court wants to employ such people, it should set up assessment methods and strictly screen them to eliminate evil and retain good. If they violate laws and disciplines, they will be severely punished by national law. Why should the court worry? ”
"Furthermore, the purpose of using Jianghu people is not to condone their wanton behavior, but to use their strengths to make up for the lack of military strength of the imperial court! If the imperial court can clearly legislate and supervise strictly, why worry about these people not being used by the imperial court?"< br>
While he was talking, Fu Qingzhou refilled the wine. After the wine was full, Yue Heng raised his neck and drank another drink, and then continued to output wildly.
After a crackling counterattack, Yue Heng waved his hand: "Therefore, Xiaosheng believes that if the court wants to employ people from the world, it should be based on virtue and talent as the standard, legislation as the rope, and strict selection as the best policy. ...In this case, your problem is no longer a problem."
After that, he sat down carelessly.
"..." The debater opposite was stunned. He didn't expect that the man who was stuttering just now would suddenly have a mouth like a firecracker.
Just when he was in a daze, Fu Qingzhou stood up suddenly.
“Come on, brother, what is your name?”
He shouted: “Forget it, it’s my turn to ask you... You said, aristocratic family and official Have the honors and privileges passed down from generation to generation become the root of the solidification of social class? "
"Can the children of aristocratic families really be selfless and put the country and the country first? "
< br>"I heard that aristocratic families can promote talents to become officials, right? If there are really talented people among the children of aristocratic families and official families, why not let them show their talents through fair competition instead of relying on the name of the family to directly enter the court? The imperial court selects talents, Fairness and impartiality should be the top priority, so why favor the aristocratic families and ignore the ambitions of the poor people in the world? ”
