Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

The day of discussion!

Yancheng was full of people and the water was suffocating.

A simple Temple of Heaven seems much empty compared with the crowds of people around it.

Two figures, an old man and a young man, sat looking at each other.

"It is rumored that Jiang Zheng has the world in mind. He rarely reads classics and studies the Six Classics intensively. He is quite knowledgeable in astronomy. He is a great scholar in the world!"

"Countless people once wanted to worship under the disciples of Jiang Zheng, but unfortunately, they were unable to do so."

"Over the years, the great Confucian Jiang Zheng gave countless lectures. It is said that many people were enlightened and inspired after listening to his lectures."

"Being able to sit opposite Jiang Zheng, the great scholar, just for this reason, His Highness the Crown Prince is a winner."

Countless people's eyes fell on the two people above.

The old man had white hair and a wrinkled face, but his eyes were shining brightly.

His movements were a little slow, perhaps because of his age, but just sitting there gave people the feeling of a heavy mountain.

Everyone admired him, and when their eyes fell on Jiang Zheng, they couldn't help but nod and lower their heads to show respect.

Opposite him was Zhou Zheng, who had become famous during this period.

At this time, Zhou Zheng was dressed in plain clothes, without any luxurious clothes, with his hair tied up and a smile on his face, without any sense of dandy or arrogance.

Of these two people, one is a great scholar of the time.

One is the current prince!

Any one of them would be of absolute weight on a normal day, but sitting together at this time made countless people excited.

Especially Zhou Zheng's performance today, although he has not yet begun to discuss Taoism, he behaved quite humbly and respectfully.

Be humble, calm, calm, neither humble nor arrogant!

Just the magnanimity displayed made countless onlookers secretly take selfies in their hearts.

Everyone in the world has heard some rumors about Zhou Zheng, but this is the first time to see him in person.

However, the calmness shown by Zhou Zheng now lets everyone know that this prince is not simple.

Of course, the great scholar Jiang Zheng was even more calm and calm, like a master from outside the world.

No matter what the outcome is today, in the eyes of everyone, it is enough to be remembered for eternity.

Not long after, the dozens of outsiders around them became quiet and held their breaths, for fear of missing what the two people said and did above them.

"Today's discussion of Taoism has three problems."

"Please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to clarify my confusion."

There were no pleasantries or nonsense, just what Jiang Zheng said.

Three questions! ?

As soon as these words came out, countless people were shocked and even went crazy, especially the scholars who had come from thousands of miles away, and they were even more puzzled!

Who is Jiang Zheng? Do we still need to ask Zhou Zheng to clarify his doubts? !

A mere boy under twenty, why! ?

"As expected of a great scholar, this pattern is extraordinary."

"Yes, but this also shows that the prince's status in his heart is extraordinary."

Everyone was talking in their minds, but what they wanted to know more was what Jiang Zheng's three problems were.

"Juniors don't dare!"

Zhou Zheng stood up and bowed slightly towards Jiang Zheng.

"The first question is, how do you understand the relationship between the king and the people?!"

Jiang Zheng ignored Zhou Zheng, spoke slowly, and asked the first question.

Buzz! ! !

As soon as this question came out, everyone present felt their minds buzzing. Some even turned pale and their legs felt a little weak!

The relationship between king and people? !

What is the problem! ?

Gu Jiang and others who were maintaining order below also couldn't help but swallow some saliva.

Throughout the ages, the relationship between the king and the people has been known to everyone.

There is no king's soil under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the soil!

Is this a problem?

If this is a problem, it must be an unsubmissive problem!

When the nine clans!

But this question happened to be asked by Jiang Zheng!

"A question between the king and the people?"

"As expected of a great scholar in the world, it's really unexpected to say this issue directly in front of countless people."

"I'm afraid there is no solution to this problem!"

"A careless move may even make the prince an enemy of the people, or he may be completely abandoned by the royal family."

Some thoughtful people have already noticed the difficulty of the problem.

If the relationship between the monarch and the people weakens the rights of the monarch, how will the royal family feel? ? What does the Holy Spirit think today? !

But if he belittles the people, then Zhou Zheng's previous imagination of caring for the people will come crashing down, and all his previous actions will be useless.

On this issue, it is dangerous for Zhou Zheng to stand on either side.

Mu Yun's expression also turned gloomy at this time, and Gong Tan and others even turned pale.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zheng's first question was so tricky.

However, Zhou Zheng still had to answer.

Zhou Ping was already stamping his feet anxiously. If he had known this, he should not have allowed Zhou Zheng to agree to this so-called discussion.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhou Zheng.

This question, let alone the prince, even if the Holy Emperor were here, he would not be able to answer it.

However, many people secretly had smiles on their faces involuntarily.

Before, I was worried that Jiang Zheng, a great scholar, would side with Zhou Zheng to build momentum for Zhou Zheng, but now it seems that this is not the case.

They seemed to have seen Zhou Zong's embarrassment as his face turned pale and he was unable to answer this question.

Because the best way at this time is not to answer this question.

But if this is really the case, it only shows that Zhou Zheng is incompetent!

He stood on the side of the king and was spurned by the people.

Standing on the side of the people, was abandoned by the royal family.

Not answering shows your incompetence.

No matter which outcome it was, Zhou Zheng was defeated in the eyes of the world.

And this is just the first question.

"Hmph, a mere boy under twenty years old has the qualifications to discuss Taoism with a great Confucian?!"

“When he agrees to it, he’s doing it to himself!”

The sneers started to come one after another.

"Is there a relationship between the king and the people?"

Zhou Zheng opened his eyes and murmured to himself.

Since ancient times, in the eyes of the world, the relationship between the king and the people has always been antagonistic. To answer this question, you will undoubtedly offend the other party.

Not answering is not enough.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Zhou Zheng didn't panic at all, and even had a smile on his face.

"If I were the crown prince of Zhou Dynasty, this problem would really be unsolvable."

"However, I am not the prince of Zhou Dynasty."

"So, this unsolvable problem is not difficult at all for me."

Zhou Zheng smiled slightly in his heart, and then slowly stood up.

Looking at the expressionless Jiang Zheng, Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and said something.

"The king is the boat. The people are the water!"

With just one sentence, the surrounding area instantly became quiet.

Countless people's eyes fell on Zhou Zheng, and even Jiang Zheng frowned slightly.

"That's it, what do you mean?!"

Jiang Zheng's voice is exactly the question on everyone's mind.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"

Just a short horoscope, but it is shocking to the ears!

Countless people's hearts were pounding, and the blood in their bodies was flowing faster.

Even Jiang Zheng, who had always been calm and steady as a mountain, had his pupils suddenly dilated and became excited!

This answer was something he had never heard before!

But every word is so precious that it touches your heart!
