Who Cares

Chapter 19: War of words

Because Xu Guangzhi wanted to make a name for himself, he secretly sent people to spread the news of the debate. He also invited many writers and celebrities to come to watch the battle and build momentum for himself.

The next day, when Guan Suyi hurried to Wencui Building, it was already full of people. Fortunately, she was prepared for a rainy day. Last night she spent a lot of money to secure a private room on the second floor by the fence. No children.

I caught a glimpse of Master Guan and Father Guan sitting in the lobby. She quickly supported the fence and gathered the black gauze again, so as not to be recognized by them.

"Oh, guest officer, you are finally here." The shop Xiaoer nodded and bowed to greet him, apologizing, "Customer officer, our shop is overcrowded today, and the shopkeeper said that we can't drive customers out, so I'll take it all. Don't say it now. There is no place to sit, not even to stand. The private rooms on the second floor have also been demolished and replaced with round tables. If you don’t mind, go up and make do with others. If you mind, we’ll return the deposit to you." Luo pointed to the second floor, and his tone became extremely attentive, "In fact, it doesn't matter. You look at it, everyone is so ok. Besides, we will return your deposit as much as possible, and you will pay for tea and snacks. 20% off, and another dish to go with, what do you think?"

Guan Suyi looked up, secretly surprised. Yenching’s people were too idle, and the huge Wencui Building was so full that it was not only crowded in the lobby on the first floor, but also on the second floor. The private rooms on the second floor were all separated by screens. The shopkeeper thought it would take up too much space. At this moment, it had all been removed. When I looked around, I saw that the fence was full of people, and it was all black.

At this time Xu’s Neo-Confucianism has not yet prevailed, so male and female guards are not very important. There are noble ladies who are dressed up and fight with others at a table. There are also several Jiuli girls who wear men's clothing, and they are generous in the crowd. Speak freely.

Guan Suyi was not a hypocritical person, and soon agreed, and walked up with her head down.

At the corner of the second floor, a tall, handsome man was leaning against the railing, carrying a small and exquisite hip flask in his hand, swaying from side to side with a leisurely look. Perceiving the shop Xiaoer leading a woman wearing a power fence into the shop, and frequently looking in his direction, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Master Guan's precious granddaughter is also here. Remember her? That's the Zhaoyi empress who you have no chance to enter the palace." Hua Luo took out a sandalwood Buddhist bead from his purse and threw it into the tray with a bang.

Hearing this, the tall man who came with him also walked to the side of the fence and looked down, "She is wearing a power fence, how do you know that it is the granddaughter of Mr. Guan?"

The handsome man didn't answer, but only ordered the wallet around his waist. The tall man seemed to snorted coldly, and seemed to have no response. Da Ma sat back to his original position with a golden sword, and continued to close his eyes and rest his mind. In the end, the handsome man couldn't hold it back anymore, and asked curiously, "I heard that Guan Suyi has a beautiful appearance, outstanding talent, and an exceptionally gentle and virtuous temperament. Such a good woman, how can you be willing to give Zhao Luli that coward?" The words fell. He took another Buddhist bead from his purse and threw it into the tray.

The tall man lifted his eyelids and said in a loose tone, "I have seen her once. I didn't see her appearance clearly, but her eloquence is quite good. Compared with most women, she is quite knowledgeable. But after all, she is Guan Qiguang's granddaughter, I'm afraid. It’s no blessing to suffer. It’s annoying to listen to Guan Qiguang talking about humanity and morality all day long, and his granddaughter’s tongue is sharper. If I go back to the harem and listen to it again, my teeth will be sour. No wonder you call Confucian scholars acid Confucianism. , Because of this, I finally understand."

The tall man rubbed his eyebrows and seemed to have a headache. The handsome man laughed loudly, his expression very gloating.

As he spoke, the guard guarding the periphery reported, "My lord, the store brought someone to fight the table, saying that this position was reserved by that person long ago. Look..."

The handsome man did not answer, but knocked on the fence with his knuckles. The guard understood, waved his hand to let Xiao Er approach.

Guan Suyi carefully observed the tea guest who came by herself first. Although it was not visible on the face, she was slightly surprised inside. Never expected that the person who had the table with her would be Qin Lingyun.

Qin Lingyun is now only a Zhenxihou who has faded out of the court, and seems to be in a similar situation to Zhao Luli, but in the future, he will become the sharpest knife in the hands of Emperor Sheng Yuan, and he will also become the notorious Wei Guodi who shook Kyushu. A cool official. He is a representative of the Legalist school. Not only is he unobtrusive and intelligent, but he also has sophisticated methods and deep intentions. He specifically eliminated dissidents and consolidated the imperial power for the emperor Sheng Yuan, and did many unseen things.

When Guan Suyi died, this man was fighting with Xu Guangzhi in darkness, and he didn't know who would win in the end. In the last life, the number of people who died in his hands was not ten thousand but eight thousand, so he won the title of Living Hades. It can be said that everyone is afraid, but in Guan Suyi's view, he is just a poor man who can't love him.

Speaking of which, Qin Lingyun's tragedy is still somewhat similar to her experience. He was disappointed and lost in his early years, and his brother was weak and sick with constant medicine. He was able to grow up safely, thanks to his sister-in-law. His sister-in-law Li is five years older than him. After marrying into the impoverished Qin family, she not only has to take care of her husband, raise her uncle, but also plow and plant crops. Life is not easy. But she never complained, nor was she discouraged. Although she was a widow in a few years, she raised her uncle safely and paid for his literacy and literacy.

Qin Lingyun is a gracious retributor. He was very kind to the Li family, but because of his youthful spirit, he angered a local gentry and was forced to leave his hometown. But like Zhao Luli, he had quite a bit of luck. He accidentally formed an irresistible relationship with Emperor Sheng Yuan. Since then, he abandoned his pen and joined the army, vowing to fight back to his hometown for revenge. He didn't forget to take the Li family with him when he fled. At first, Li did not dare to agree because of ethics, but he was finally moved by his sincerity and prepared to remarry.

As a result, at the moment when the two of them were getting what they wanted, Xu's Neo-Confucianism suddenly blew like a demon wind, mixing up their good deeds. Not to mention, the patriarch of the Li clan was an old Confucian student, and he was deeply influenced by Xu's Neo-Confucianism. When Qin Lingyun received the news and ran to save people, only a cold and stiff corpse was obtained. The heart-wrenching feeling was very unimaginable.

After that, Qin Lingyun confronted the Li clan, the world's Confucian scholars, and even Xu Guangzhi, and his temperament became more and more violent. Guan Suyi died earlier than him, but he could foresee his end, but only eight words-all thoughts will be ashamed, jade will be burned.

Because the two were both sick and pitying each other, and at this time Qin Lingyun had not yet lost his love, and his temperament had changed drastically, Guan Suyi did not evade, and walked slowly over to see the courtesy. I ask you who is it?"

Qin Lingyun did not answer, but instead looked at the tall man standing next to him, pretending to be a guard. The man replied, "Qin Lingyun."

"Originally Zhenxihou, long admiring the name." Guan Suyi once again handed over, seeing that Xiaoer from the shop was about to move a screen over and placed it between the two, so he waved his hand, "No need, just put it there. , Just cut off the line of sight of the side table. We know each other."

Xiao Er hurriedly placed the screen at the position she designated, and happily left after getting the silver. This is the corner closest to the wall, and a screen is used to block the sight of everyone on the other side of the fence, forming a space of its own.

Feeling that the surroundings were much cleaner, Guan Suyi slowly took her seat, and then glanced at the tall man with a little care. Qin Lingyun is eight feet tall and has a strong physique, but his personal bodyguard is half a head taller than him, and he has a thick beard. The muscles of his chest and upper arms are bulging, and the texture is undulating, supporting the black uniforms. It was about to burst, a pair of starry eyes that were unfathomable and implied, he should be a master who used to come and go in the blood and rain. Looking at his deep and sharp facial features, he must be a member of the Jiuli tribe.

In the last life, I heard that Qin Lingyun was protected by a guard of the Jiuli nationality who had achieved martial arts skills. Guan Suyi clicked the mold between the person and the impression. Apart from the popularity of the secret way, he didn't think much about it. The two sat leaning on a railing and looked down.

Guan Suyi pointed to Xu Guangzhi who was standing on the high platform, and said confidently, "If you don't get out of the way, Fajia will undoubtedly be defeated."

Yo, I started to challenge as soon as I came here, and I am worthy of being the granddaughter of Mr. Guan. Qin Lingyun raised an eyebrow, seemingly dissatisfied. The tall man standing behind him closed his lips slightly, but did not speak.

Guan Suyi made a few words and saw that Qin Lingyun was always perfunctory, or nodded and shook his head, without vomiting a word, thinking about it, and glimpsing a few Buddhist beads in the tray, and finally said suddenly, " Are you practicing a closed mantra?"

Qin Lingyun looked surprised, as if asking her how to know. Guan Suyi also sold Guanzi this time, waved his hand and smiled without saying a word. This matter, she had listened to others in her previous life, if she hadn't seen the Buddhist beads, she would have almost forgotten it. Come to think of it, Qin Lingyun has already confessed to his sister-in-law at this moment, but he was sternly rejected by the other party, and he kept saying that he would not mention it again in the future. Qin Lingyun felt pain and despair in her heart, but refused to embarrass her sister-in-law, so she began to meditate.

It’s not so easy for a layman to practice the closed mantra, and he broke the vows accidentally, so he prepared a purse for himself, put a hundred beads in it, and took out one after every word, and when the purse was emptied, it was After killing him, he wouldn't utter half a word anymore. At first, it was 100 sentences a day. After half a year, it was reduced to 10 sentences a day. After a year, he became completely dumb.

Li was not merciless towards him, how could he see him torturing himself so much, and after persuading him to no avail, he had to fulfill his extravagant request. Of course, extravagance is ultimately extravagant, and it is destined to be hopeless. Recalling the past, Guan Suyi couldn't help but feel sad. Fortunately, the black gauze covered her cheeks, and Qin Lingyun didn't let Qin Lingyun see the clues.

In silence, the debate began. Standing on the high platform, Xu Guangzhi picked up a brush and wrote four characters on a huge wooden board—Fagu Xunli.

Confucianism advocates that the ancients follow rituals, while the legalists advocate that the ancients are lawless and not the present. Based on this, the two ideas are completely opposite. It can be seen that this is the subject of today's debate. Qin Lingyun, who was sitting and drinking, showed a pensive expression, his bodyguard said in a hoarse and thick voice, "This topic is rather interesting."

Guan Suyi supported her forehead with her hands, and thought to herself, only hating why she was Guan Qiguang's granddaughter, otherwise she would be able to fight Xu Guangzhi on behalf of the Fajia, and he would surely ruin his dream of being an extremely human minister.
