Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

On the way back to the academy from Lanqiu, neither Han Fei nor Li Si spoke a word. The two walked through the courtyard of the academy in silence, but happened to meet Xunzi who was walking this way.

"teacher."

Han Fei and Li Si quickly turned to one side and cupped their hands at Xunzi.

For Han Fei and Li Si, the teacher who preaches and teaches is like their reborn parents. Respecting teachers is something that everyone must abide by in any era, not to mention, the teachers of Han Fei and Li Si , or an unborn master.

Xunzi, who was born in the country of Zhao, didn't pay much attention to those cumbersome etiquettes on weekdays. Facing the two disciples who were respectfully saluting, he just nodded slightly, and then said to Han Fei: "Han Fei, your difficulties, The teacher already knows."

Hearing what Xunzi said suddenly, Li Si looked up at Xunzi in surprise, and then at Han Fei who was expressionless.

It turned out that Han Fei had talked with the teacher for so long before, was it just to avoid the debate with famous experts?

Didn't Han Fei think about it? If Han Fei didn't fight in the debate between Xunzi's disciples and famous scholars, what would the world think of Han Fei?From then on, will Han Fei still be Xun Qing's number one student in the eyes of others?

The more Li Si thought about it, the more anxious he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. If it wasn't because the teacher was still in front of him, he really wanted to wake up Han Fei directly, but now, he could only look at Han Fei angrily, to see if he could do it. What's the reaction.

But Han Fei didn't react at all, and continued to bow and salute.

Looking at the silent Han Fei, Xunzi sighed helplessly:

"It's too old to be a teacher! I have long lost the desire to argue and debate. Therefore, I want Han Fei to argue on behalf of my teacher. If Han Fei is really in trouble, it's okay to fight in person as a teacher... "

"Teacher, Han Fei is willing."

As soon as Xunzi's words fell, Han Fei said this, his voice was even and steady, and there was no mouth disease at all.

"Okay! That's the best! Then let Han Fei teach that old man Gongsun Long a good lesson."

As soon as Han Fei agreed, Xunzi immediately replied with a smile on his face.

And when he heard Xunzi call this "old man", Li Si tried his best to hold back his laughter.

Because, that old man named Gongsun Long still has another name in the mouth of the world——

The world's number one debater.

After Xunzi walked away, Han Fei straightened up and glanced at Li Si beside him. Han Fei asked inexplicably, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Did he actually laugh out loud?

Thinking of this in his heart, Li Si quickly put away his smile and replied seriously, but in fact, he thought in his heart: I just told you not to be afraid of this disease, but you are better off, directly replacing the teacher to argue with Gongsun Long, Han Fei Han Fei, you are in serious trouble now, even I can't help you.

Unkindly imagining that Han Fei was speechless by Gongsun Long's refutation and was about to cry, Li Si's mood suddenly became very good.

====

At night, in Han Fei's room, Li Si and Han Fei were sitting face to face, with two jugs of mellow Lanling wine in front of their desks.

After taking a sip of Lanling wine from the bowl, Li Si expressed his worries to Han Fei: "There are so many sophistry in the theory of famous scholars, and Gongsun Long is also very good at debating. What can you think of to deal with it, brother?"

Han Fei picked up the wine bowl, and after taking a sip, he only heard him say slowly: "Junior, do you remember the famous 21 questions?"

Unexpectedly, Han Fei would ask himself this question, and Liston froze for a moment.

It took a while before Li Si recalled the content of the famous master's 21 questions.

The 21 questions of famous scholars are 21 topics proposed by famous scholars, including "eggs have hair" and "chicken with three legs". Because of their contents that are contrary to common sense, they are plausible and not based on the basis. But at the same time, it also set off a trend of refutation in various countries. Wherever there is debate and refutation, these 21 questions are used to add to the fun.

But even so, perhaps because he disdains such sophistry and verbal disputes, Li Si can only recall a small part of the 21 questions.

"Ashamed to say, Si can only remember part of it."

"It's nothing. The reason why Han Fei can remember it is because he has read the works of the famous Gongsun Long."

Looking at Li Si in front of him, Han Fei said slowly. Although he spoke slowly, there was no sign of anxiety. Han Fei had gradually begun to master the knack of speaking fluently.

Hearing what Han Fei said, Li Si felt even more depressed. He had obviously read it before... but now he couldn't even remember half of it.

Li Si had to admire Han Fei's knowledge and knowledge. In this era of great masters, hundreds of schools of thought have their own theories and opinions. For Li Si, not to mention other schools, even the theories of the Legalists Li Si couldn't understand and memorize the works one by one, but Han Fei could do it, not only the works of Legalism, Confucianism, famous scholars, strategists, military strategists, even those that Han Fei could not fully agree with Han Fei dabbled in and memorized all theories and works, and it was precisely because of this that Han Fei became famous all over the world.

If you want to defeat the enemy, you must understand the enemy well. In this regard, Li Si was not as good as Han Fei in his last life. In this life, he still thinks he is not as good as Han Fei.

Just when Li Sizheng was depressed, Han Fei's voice of reciting came from his ears again: "The words of the famous masters, the actions of the unseen, the schemes of the unheard, the gentleman should be careful!"

"This is Teacher's work "Rectification of Names"!" Li Si said pleasantly after hearing that Han Fei said it was "Rectification of Names" written by Xunzi.

How could he have forgotten that Gongsun Long, the number one debater in the world, had never lost to anyone in a debate all his life, only that time when he met Xunzi in Handan, after a debate, Gongsun Long bowed to him for the first time in his life.

Afterwards, in the article "Rectification of Names", the teacher refuted the famous masters up and down. In fact, he has already passed on the method to his disciples.

Now that Han Fei has found a way, the rest depends on whether he can learn and apply it.

Under the dim light, the confident Han Fei made Li Si feel very relieved, but at the same time felt a little pity.

It's such a pity that I couldn't see Han Fei who was about to cry after being refuted.

====

Two days later, accompanied by Chunshen Jun of the state of Chu, the famous Gongsun Longzi brought his disciples to the Cangshan Academy.

"Xun Kuang! Goodbye to Handan, long time no see!"

As soon as he entered the Cangshan Academy, Gongsun Long warmly greeted Xunzi who was waiting in the front yard of the academy. He looked like a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, but Li Si knew that was not the case.

Sure enough, when everyone was lamenting the deep relationship between Xun Qing and Gongsun Longzi, Gongsun Long's next sentence ruthlessly shattered their illusion of "the deep friendship between the masters".

"...how come you haven't died yet?"

What, what is this?

Not only were the disciples following Xunzi stunned, but even the smile on Jun Shenjun's face froze instantly.

Before everyone recovered from the blow, Xunzi replied with a smile: "How can I die before Gongsun dies!"

The two masters actually bickered like children in front of everyone, which frightened the disciples who followed Xunzi and Gongsunlong respectively, as well as Lord Chunshen. He whispered in his ear: "What is the relationship between the teacher and Gongsun Longzi?"

If you say they are friends, they don't seem to be friends at all. If you say they are enemies...but it doesn't seem to be that serious.

"Enemy and friend, that's probably how it is." Looking at the teacher and Gongsun Long who were staring at each other, Li Si replied thoughtfully in a low voice.

If the teacher hadn't criticized Gongsun Long so badly back then, maybe they could still be friends.

So... to be a human being, it's better to have some morals.

After Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi greeted each other "friendly", Han Fei took the famous disciples to eat and rest, while Gongsun Long was pulled by Xunzi to have a more in-depth exchange of ideas.

In the early morning of the next day, under the auspices of Chun Shenjun, one of the four sons of the Warring States Period, the debate between the disciples of the Xunmen and the disciples of famous schools officially began.
