The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 3077: Semi-saint’s personal teaching!

The appearance of Lu Meir changed the direction of the debate topic.

After that, many people began to discuss whether a person who made a mistake should become a Tongsheng?

The affirmative side believed that if one committed an unforgivable crime, such as treason, treason, killing innocent people, and did things that broke the bottom line of humanity, one should not become a Tongsheng, but Lu Meir did not do anything that broke the bottom line of humanity, and she has been doing good deeds since then. Such a person should become a Tongsheng.

The negative side believed that if one was an ordinary person, this bottom line would be fine, but as a scholar, the bottom line should not be so low.

The affirmative side counterattacked again, saying that even if the negative side’s bottom line was higher, Lu Meir did not break the bottom line of ordinary people when she was an ordinary person, and she did not break the bottom line of scholars after becoming a scholar! The negative side is actually asking an ordinary person to abide by the bottom line of scholars, which is very absurd.

There is no winner or loser in this debate direction.

Then, the debate direction changed again. The affirmative side proposed a new angle, that is, if a man was sold to a brothel, and finally broke through the shackles of the brothel, changed his mind, and passed the examination, what would the negative side think?

As soon as this new angle came out, the frequency of the negative side's replies immediately decreased.

Finally, the affirmative side came to a strong conclusion. In fact, both the affirmative and the negative sides believed that as long as a person did not do many evil things, did not have a lot of evil, and changed his mind, everyone could accept such a person. Then, the reason why the negative side opposed was not because Lu Meir really did something unforgivable, but because she was a woman, just because of her low status.

The debate from this angle ended with the affirmative side winning comprehensively.

The negative side had to propose a new angle and continue the debate.

The two sides continued to debate, and they won and lost in different angles and different new viewpoints.

However, like all truly meaningful, valuable, and high-level debates, the result of the debate began to tend to the middle. Everyone gradually abandoned extreme ideas and began to lean towards what should and should not be.

At the end of the debate, something happened that moved most people on both sides.

Some people started to write articles on the debate board to support the other party's views, thinking that the other party's views were very good, and they could not support them from the standpoint of the debate, but as scholars outside the debate, they must stand up and support them! Whether it is from the perspective of morality, conscience or learning, they must support them!

So, many scholars were relieved to find that this debate not only did not tear the human race apart, but made both sides more tolerant.

However, the Zajia people and the Qing people continued to fish in troubled waters.

Some particularly smart people finally couldn't stand it anymore, they united and wrote a new article.

There was not a single extra word in the article, all of which listed the speeches of some scholars.

These scholars had a characteristic in the debate, standing on the positive side and supporting Lu Meir, but they did not speak at the beginning. Later, they suddenly began to flatter Lu Meir constantly. It was not a normal debate, but purely flattering Lu Meir and belittling the other party.

Later, the article listed the previous remarks of these people, all of which used the most vicious language to attack Fang Yun, Jingguo, and Fang Yun's new holy way.

Most of these people are from Qing, followed by the Miscellaneous School, and less than 10% are from other countries.

This article sparked indignation among many scholars.

"I, Zhang Yuan, was promoted to Hanlin at the age of 36. I am not a genius, but I am not bad either. I am a Confucian disciple and I am in the Hall of Rites. My status and reputation are not high, but they are not low. I used to have some complaints about Fang Sheng, but later I gradually turned neutral and occasionally supported him. After all, I must acknowledge his contributions. After the incidents of men and women taking the same exam and Lu Meir broke out, I firmly opposed it. I was also very lucky to be qualified as the opposing party and used all my strength to oppose it! At the beginning, I did it for myself and for the reward, but slowly I found that my attitude and the reward were not important! What is important is the debate itself and what I have learned! I have now written hundreds of pages of thick notes, and I will continue to take notes for this debate, which may exceed a thousand pages. I cherish this opportunity and don't want to be ruined by anyone! So, from now on, I regard the Miscellaneous School as my enemy and the scholars of Qing as my enemy! Because, you You are blocking my study and you are cutting off my path to sainthood! This hatred is irreconcilable! "

"I have always disagreed with men and women taking the same exam, and I hate Lu Meir, but I became the affirmative party, and I must speak for Lu Meir. At first, I resisted, and even watched without saying anything out of anger. Later, as I watched, I found that some debates were unreasonable, and I couldn't help but join. Then... I was so excited that I haven't slept until now, and I have been watching and replying to debates. It was not until I saw many people praising each other outside the debate that I understood the real intention of Fang Sheng. In fact, Lu Meir is not important, and men and women taking the same exam is not important. What is important is that this debate allows us to see different angles, let us have a new understanding of ourselves and the human race, and pry open our closed minds. I am old and don't want to make enemies. I just want to say that some bastards should be exterminated, otherwise the human race will always be dragged down by such bastards! "

The second person who responded was a great scholar.

"I am a Qing countryman, and also a member of the Zajia family. I won't say much, I just say that I am ashamed of those people! "

So, the discussion board set off a new wave of condemning the Zajia family and the Qing countryman.

"The Za family and the Qing people should get out of the debate!"

The Jing people applauded, this is real retribution.

Some of the miscellaneous people who were not firm in their literary courage and had weak will had problems and had to stop their small actions.

The debate meeting restored the atmosphere of normal debate.

Slowly, many interesting things appeared.

There were literary meetings in various parts of the human race that began to hold live debates. The theme was still the original topic of the debate meeting. Some live debates allowed the two sides to exchange identities, which played an unexpected role.

Some people also posted an article on the discussion list, saying "The opposition is looking for new angles and new views. Please avoid the affirmative side!" As a result, both sides talked and made a fuss under the article, showing their abilities, which promoted the debate meeting.

After three days, the debate ended.

Then, Fang Yun announced that the saints needed one day to start selecting outstanding debaters.

While everyone was waiting for the award, a piece of news shocked everyone.

Wang Jinglong accepted Lu Meir as his personal disciple!

A half-saint's personal disciple!

Moreover, the Wang Sheng family also said that Wang Jinglong had a six-word conclusion on this matter.

"Once wrong, don't make the same mistake again!"

After experiencing the baptism of debate, everyone is no longer so extreme and stubborn.

Regardless of which side they are on, they all have great respect for Wang Jinglong.

A semi-saint, a highly respected semi-saint, who disregards the possible infamy and accepts a prostitute as his personal disciple, what a great personality!

On the discussion list, a large number of articles praising Wang Jinglong emerged.
