Chapter 90: One Hit Kills

Qin Shaoyou was pulled down from the water so stupidly. He really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

However, just now, Wu Zetian and Cui Xi were both verbally fighting each other, and Qin Shaoyou heard it. Cui Xi's eloquence was indeed very powerful. He cited classics and indirectly attacked. Wu Zetian could show off his power, play debates, and find a shot.

And now, he is a duck to be put on the shelves.

Then, he glanced at Cui Xu, and Cui Xu didn't even look at him directly. It seemed that this ordinary old man was still implicit and humble, but in Qin Shaoyou's eyes, his tail had long been rising up.

After thinking about it, Qin Shaoyou had to bite the bullet and say, "Mr. Cui..."

Cui Yue then glanced at him reluctantly, thought for a while, and nodded to him: "Wano, do you have anything to say?"

Cui Xu said the word Qin Shaoyou, which made Qin Shaoyou feel alert. This word was chosen by Lu Sheng. Usually, everyone calls him assistant teacher Qin, so most people don’t know his word. In this era, only people who are very close will be called by their characters. Cui Xu is superior. Logically speaking, it is amazing to remember Qin Shaoyou’s name.

If you have to explain, then there is only one possibility, that is, Cui Feng has been paying attention to him all the time, and all his details have been found by Cui Feng. Knowing yourself and your enemy, winning every battle, an opponent who can completely crush him can still have such careful thoughts and investigate him so clearly. Is this kind of person terrible?

Qin Shaoyou thought to himself, but said, "Mr. Cui is so polite. Here, there is no place for the officials to speak. However, since Mr. Cui asked, the officials would just talk nonsense. If there is something wrong, I would like to ask Mr. Cui to correct me."

Cui Shi stroked his beard and smiled and said, "It's easy to talk about, it's easy to talk about."

The others slowly sootheed from the tension of Chen Jijiu just now, and many people couldn't help but chuckled. They could almost foresee how Qin Shaoyou, a young boy, would be criticized by Cui Gongkou in the end.

Qin Shaoyou pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Cui said that innovation is just a deviant approach. So, is it wrong to open the imperial examination in the Sui and Tang Dynasties? If so, why not follow the old system of the Nine-rank Zhongzheng?"

Cui Feng said slowly: "What I said is that governing a big country is like cooking a small freshman. Everything should be done slowly and not too rush. Besides, Sui Wen rashly opened the imperial examination. Isn't it caused the disaster for its demise? And what we followed in the Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty was the old system of the Sui Dynasty, which was the stable method."

Cui Yue’s words can be said to be impeccable. Qin Shaoyou was a little anxious. His anxious look made people laugh. This guy still wants to find Mr. Cui’s flaws. If Mr. Cui has flaws, will you, a kid, discover it?

Cui Feng was just smiling. In fact, he really had a part in debating with such an insignificant little person. If the saint had not insisted on bringing this reinforcement, he would not even bother to lobby with Mr. Qin in a word.

Qin Shaoyou continued to bite the bullet and said, "Then... the officials still have to come and ask, will all the innovators cause trouble?"

Cui Xu said lightly: "Don't you know that Kazuna has heard of Wang Mang?"

Wang Mang...Who doesn't know anyone who has read books.

But Cui Feng asked this back, of course he had the intention of making fun of him, probably because he deliberately despised Qin Shaoyou's classical and historical level.

Qin Shaoyou was defeated again, and Wang Mang was indeed the first person in reform in ancient and modern times. Shang Yang was far inferior to him. Why? Because the reforms have become so vigorous and sensational. Of course, they died very quickly and have become a joke for the ages.

Qin Shaoyou was speechless, stunned for a long time, looking thoughtful.

Everyone found it ridiculous, and this guy wanted to continue to be stubborn.

Wu Zetian was so shocked by the side. This is a teammate of pigs, not even as good as himself! If he had known that he was full of energy when he was talking in front of him, Cui Feng would have become a fool. It would be better to knock this guy out and go as far as he can, so as not to be embarrassed here.

At this moment, Qin Shaoyou scratched his head and smiled: "The officials thought Wang Mang was defeated because of usurping the throne, but they didn't expect that it was related to reform."

His sentence seemed ignorant, but Cui Xu was alert, because Qin Shaoyou clearly wanted to argue with him about the main reason for Wang Mang's defeat, and this was obviously a trap, because Wang Mang's defeat was really due to reform in the eyes of people who were serious. But this cannot be said for this reason, because in this era, Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty was the main reason for the defeat, and this is the correct class of the ruling class. If Cui Xu ignored the issue of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, then if you think about it carefully, isn't it said that Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty had nothing to do with his defeat? Since it had nothing to do, it was natural for Wang Mang to usurp the Han Dynasty. Think about it again, the Wang family at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and the Cui family at the moment, why? Your Cui family also wanted to usurp the Zhou Dynasty?

No matter how stupid Cui Feng was, he would not be serious about Qin Shaoyou on this issue. He smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter."

"Is that so? This means that Wang Mang's reform was not the main cause of defeat, but because he was ruthless, what does Mr. Cui think?"

At this time, everyone's smile froze. Everyone suddenly realized that Qin Shaoyou was not as simple as originally imagined. He had at least found one of Cui Xu's weaknesses and pressed him step by step. Anyone could argue with Qin Shaoyou about this matter. However, Cui Gong's status and the family he leaned against did not allow Cui Gong to be serious.

"This Qin Shaoyou is quite capable." Someone secretly ordered in his heart.

Although Cui Feng was generalized by Qin Shaoyou, he was still very careful and said, "The main reason for usurping the Han Dynasty, but the reforms are still unforgivable."

Qin Shaoyou nodded, agreeing with this statement very much. He didn't even bother and said, "Since that's the case, does Cui Gong think that this reform is always bad, right?"

Cui Feng said seriously: "The old law has been with it for hundreds of years, and it has its own principles. If you change it rashly, it will be against the will of heaven and against the will of heaven. Looking at all dynasties, how many people will have a good ending?"

Qin Shaoyou sighed and said, "Mr. Cui is right, but... the lower official still has eight words, but I don't know what Mr. Cui thinks?"

Cui Xu said that just now, and he was really angry and embarrassed. This was impossible. In terms of debate alone, the ten Qin Shaoyou were not his opponents, but Qin Shaoyou grabbed his identity and made a fuss about Wang Mang. In order to end it as soon as possible, he would not continue to get entangled, so he directly said the reforms with the heavenly words. Cui Xu suddenly felt that his words were inappropriate, but he was still calm, because no matter what, Qin Shaoyou, a young boy, probably couldn't make any trouble.

"Zihe, but it's okay."

Looking at Cui Feng's spring breeze, Qin Shaoyou took a deep breath and said word by word: "Although Zhou... is old... country, his life is... new!"

“…”

The whole palace was in an uproar.

Everyone's faces suddenly pulled down, especially Cui Yue. His body trembled, and then his expression became solemn.

"What did you say?"

Qin Shaoyou smiled and said, "What the officials said is that although Zhou is old, his fate will be renewed! I don't know how to explain this sentence to Mr. Cui?"

How can I explain this...

Of course, Mr. Cui knew where this sentence came from and of course knew the meaning of this sentence, and this sentence was a blow to him.

This sentence comes from the Book of Songs. The original text is "King Wen is above and Zhao is in heaven. Although Zhou is old, his destiny is renewed." The general meaning is that King Wen of Zhou received the destiny of heaven and showed the world: Although Zhou is an old country, his mission is innovating.

The status of the Book of Songs will not be mentioned for now. The so-called quotation of scriptures and classics include the Book of Songs. This was the one that the ancients admired the most. Therefore, when Mr. Qin spoke these eight words in the Book of Songs, no one dared to question the source of this sentence.

As for the status of King Wen of Zhou, there is no doubt. During the Tang and Zhou dynasties, Confucius' status was not as high as a saint. Even if he was not a saint, there was still controversy. After all, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he found Laozi seriously to be his ancestor, so the court always praised Huang-Lao's learning. So who was the saint of this era? Naturally, it was King Wen of Zhou. King Wen of Zhou had a very high status, which was ridiculous. For example, the most glorious building in Shendu was the King of Zhou Temple, which was extremely prosperous. What he said was naturally the golden rule.

The most important thing is that Wu Zhou learned a very bad habit of Li Tang, that is, he liked to recognize his ancestors seriously. As a result, everyone thought about it, the Zhou Dynasty lasted for 800 years, and you were the only one. So Wu Zetian called himself the King Ping of Zhou, and King Ping of Zhou Ji Yijiu was the grandson of the grandson of King Wen of Zhou... The following dozens of words are omitted... As the Wu Zhou Dynasty, which continued the orthodox Zhou emperor of the Ji surname, can you imagine the status of King Wen of Zhou this year?
