    When Li Shimin was in the court, he must have lowered his hat. Everyone was speechless, and the matter was decided like this.  And everyone's focus suddenly shifted from Li Feng to this debate.  The conflict suddenly shifted from Li Feng's rebellion and disobedience to the ancestral law to whether the ancestral law should be followed.

    "In short, Li Shimin's trick of diverting trouble from others' misfortune is so exquisite that it makes the matter even more complicated and confusing, and also makes people think differently.

    Because of what happened yesterday, Kong Yingda did not come to the morning meeting today.  This is not because he is unwell and needs to recuperate, but because he feels that he can't live with his face. After all, yesterday's scene was really embarrassing.  However, although he did not come to the court meeting, it did not mean that he knew nothing about the court affairs.

    As soon as the court meeting ended, many officials immediately began to rush to Confucius' mansion one after another.  After all, as the most important person in this incident, they need to follow his opinions on many things.  Besides, now that things have developed to this point, everyone is a little confused and at a loss.

    "Hmph, it's a good trick to divert misfortune to the east and change the pillars. However, if you want to make things so simple, there is no way. If you want to be reasonable, then let's theory the theory carefully and wait until the theory comes to fruition. When the time comes,  I want to see how this drama ends."

    After sending everyone away, Kong Yingda said to himself with an unhappy face.  Kong Yingda was still very angry at Li Shimin for shielding Li Feng.  In his opinion, this matter was Li Feng breaking the rules, but he was just upholding the etiquette of the saints and maintaining the morality of the world. In the final analysis, it was also for the good rule of the imperial power.  He didn't expect that he would get such a result, how could he not be disappointed.

    In addition, Li Feng spoke so shamelessly and insulted him in the court, which made him even more angry.  If Li Feng cannot be dealt with, then where is the etiquette of the saint, and what kind of face do they, the disciples of the saint, have in this world? The most important thing is.  If this matter is allowed to remain undisturbed, does it mean that the Confucian way of governing the country will be overthrown in the long run?

    "No, absolutely not. Even if I risk my life, I still have to maintain the orthodoxy of this saint."

    Thinking of this, Kong Yingda was frightened at first, and then said in a deep voice with gritted teeth.

    However, all this can only be done after the debate is over.  As for the debate, he wasn't worried.  Talking about truth is the rule of the world.  Can it be greater than the etiquette of this saint?  Debating is the specialty of scholars like them. Is it possible that scholars like them can't debate ordinary villagers? What a joke.

    but.  He knew that even when a lion fights a rabbit, he uses all his strength, so he immediately started making arrangements intensively. In short.  They must win this debate.

    And just when Kong Yingda and his gang were making arrangements for this debate in full swing.  Li Tai and Li Ke sat together again, but this time it was in Li Ke's Prince Wu's Mansion.  After all, the last time we got together was at Li Tai's Prince Wei's Mansion, so it would be disrespectful to come and go.

    However, compared to Kong Yingda¡¯s determined look, Li Ke and Li Tai had sad looks on their faces.  They are not pure scholars like Kong Yingda, and they do not see things that simply.  They were not so optimistic about the outcome of this debate.

    "Third brother, something is not good."

    This time, things happened too suddenly, and the situation changed too quickly, so Li Tai suddenly became a little overwhelmed.  Therefore, after knowing the news, he immediately rushed to Prince Wu's Mansion. After seeing Li Ke, he was not half-hidden like last time, but spoke directly to Li Ke.

    "Well, it's true. My father's art of grafting flowers and trees with his hands is really amazing. The debate conference haha, it's really a wonderful and novel trick. In my opinion, this doesn't look like my father's style of doing things.  This idea must have been proposed by our Fourth Emperor Uncle. In this case, this matter is indeed somewhat disadvantageous. In fact, there is no need to argue about this matter. The burden of long hair can be understood by just thinking about it.  . The common people are not those scholars who have nothing to do and have no worries about food and clothing. They do not think like those scholars. The so-called etiquette of saints is not that important to the common people. What they care about is the real benefits. Therefore,  The outcome of the debate is foreseeable and certainly not optimistic.¡±

    Li Ke was not anxious at this time, so he frowned while talking.

    "Uncle Four Emperors? Haha, how could it be possible that he would come up with such a trick? It seems that I underestimated our Uncle Four Emperors before. The debate conferenceThere is no need to think about the consequences now.  When the time comes, my father will definitely use this as an excuse to severely shame those old masters.  You know, my father has long been very tired of this group of people, and maybe even next Well, what I'm most worried about now is that after this incident, the status and prestige of our Fourth Emperor's Uncle is really not good.  I was shaken, and from now on"

    If you want to cooperate, of course you need sincerity, so at this time, two people don¡¯t have so many worries about talking.  Therefore, Li Tai expressed what was most worrying in his heart.  They don't care about other things. What they care about is just the consequences if this matter is allowed to develop.

    By then, it goes without saying that the name of this brave king will definitely be famous all over the world, and the status of this brave king will become unbreakable.  Needless to say, the relationship between King Yong and the Crown Prince can be described as sharing weal and woe. In this way, for them, that incident was very unfavorable.

    "Fourth brother, don't be anxious. Everything should be done according to the plan. However, in this case, we have to be more careful and not to reveal any clues. If not, then you and I will not be able to bear the consequences.  gone"

    The matter is now a foregone conclusion, so there is nothing left to discuss.  But fortunately, in this way, their plan will be more logical.  However, in this case, it becomes more difficult to implement the previous plans, and at the same time, the risks become greater.

    "Well, what the third brother said is absolutely true. The younger brother also thinks about it this way"

    Why didn¡¯t Li Tai come with this in mind?  They are now grasshoppers on the same rope. Everyone shares the benefits, and no one can escape the disasters.  He also realized that the situation had become serious, so he came to Li Ke specially.  However, it was obvious that his worries were somewhat unnecessary.

    The emperor personally issued the imperial edict, so the debate on the conference was progressing at a rapid pace.  Regardless of the layout of the scene.  The publicity work on this matter is still in full swing.  Overnight, the people of Chang'an City already knew about this, so the streets and alleys were filled with people.  The teahouse and restaurant became lively again.  It can be said that before the debate has even begun, the civil debate is already going on intensely.

    A few days later, all preliminary preparations will be completed.  And this debate that everyone is arguing about is finally about to begin.

    In order to accommodate more people and allow more people to participate in this matter, the debate venue was specially chosen at the large campus outside the south gate of Chang'an City.  The day the debate begins.  Countless people swarmed towards the south gate.  Soon, there was a dense crowd around the campus. The scene was much more spectacular than the long-distance race around the city.

    And obviously, for such a lively scene.  Li Feng had no interest in it. Besides, this incident happened because of him, and he didn't want to be there.  Become the target of public criticism.  Besides, he is indeed quite busy these days.  I couldn't get away at all.

    However, Gao Yang and the others liked this kind of lively scene the most, and they ran to watch the excitement like those people early in the morning.  Li Feng had no choice but to arrange for two Black Tiger Army soldiers to follow them to avoid any accidents.

    It is worth mentioning that since the detailed information of this debate conference was released to the world.  Not only did the business in the store not become bleak, but it became even more prosperous.  Moreover, Li Feng also discovered that many people had already lost their long hair and came in with short hair to buy clothes.

    Of course, they did not directly go bald like Li Feng, they just cut their hair very short.  Seeing this, Li Feng became more aware of the debate.  It also confirms that sentence, the eyes of the people are sharp.

    This debate conference can be said to be a novelty. At the beginning, most people went to watch it with the mentality of watching the excitement.  However, as I listened, some people became participants in this debate.  As more and more people participated, the debate became more intense.

    "Anyway, the emperor's imperial edict has long been promulgated at the conference. The imperial edict has stated that you can speak freely at the conference and will not be convicted based on your speech.

    Of course, there are pros and cons in the debate. Needless to say, one side is the scholars who uphold the orthodoxy of the saints.  As soon as the conference started, they launched into long and aggressive speeches, which really stole the show.  However, as more and more opponents participated and raised more and more objections, these scholars gradually began to be unable to resist.

    After all, their only reliance is that the sage's etiquette cannot be changed.  However, the common people are indeed, in the past? It¡¯s fine that this issue has not been mentioned by anyone, but now that it is mentioned, people will have ideas in their minds.  It can be said that the wisdom of the working people is infinite, and it will soon overwhelm these scholars, and they will not even be able to resist.

    Because of this, there were a lot of jokes at the conference.  For example, in order to refute the other party's statement that things given by parents should not be thrown away casually, one person suddenly asked weakly.  That is, when the child is born, does the gas in his stomach come from his parents? What if the child accidentally farts?  As soon as this question came out, the whole audience was silent for a while, and then of course burst into laughter.

    Of course, some people would definitely not be able to laugh. Instead, they would be so angry that their faces would turn red and their eyes would widen. However, they would not know how to refute.

    The matter did not end here. Instead, it aroused many questions among the people.  And these questions are all aimed at those unreasonable ancestral rules.  These questions make those scholars unable to resist. They keep saying the same thing, and the rules of the ancestors are changed.

    However, there are also some people who are smarter and have shut up obediently, and have even begun to switch camps and join the common people.

    "Haha, the power of the people is indeed the most powerful force in the world. No wonder the fourth brother always says that we ordinary people have power. It seems that this is true."

    In the palace, Li Shimin was extremely happy after hearing the news.
