After the cheers ended, Li Xiang thanked him and continued,""Actually, the methods of governing the country that Master Meng and Mister Wei Yang have mentioned are reasonable, but…only benevolent policies are ineffective. They only knew that cold laws could restrain evil people, but it was inevitable that it would affect good people. The human feelings in the world gradually became cold, and people only followed the law. Outside the law, they were indulgent.”
He, who came from the future, was fully qualified to sum up these principles. There was no sin outside the law, so long as there was no sin, he could do it. He laughed at the poor and not at the prostitutes.
Li Xiang's words were immediately astounded. The three ways of governing a country were the Emperor's Way, the King's Way, and the Tyrannical Way. They were profound and difficult to understand. However, Li Xiang's words were like a cloud that had been lifted, making everyone feel enlightened.
At this moment, Wei Yang, who was preparing to go to the Qin country to enforce the rule of law, also fell into deep thought. He began to investigate if there were any loopholes in the method of strengthening the Qin country that he had painstakingly thought of.
As soon as Li Xiang's words came out, everyone fell into deep thought. They even forgot to cheer. Li Xiang felt bored and silently left Jixia Learning Palace. He found a tavern and walked in.
In Jixia Learning Palace, the crowd gradually came back to their senses as they pondered. However, they realized that the white-robed man who had just shocked the world was no longer on the stage.
King Qi was also stunned. He had just wanted to ask Li Xiang to stay in the Kingdom of Qi and help him achieve his goal, but he had been so engrossed in the vast knowledge that he had not noticed Li Xiang's departure. "Dear students, does anyone know that genius?”King Qi couldn't help but feel anxious. He thought that Li Xiang would leave the Qi Kingdom after he finished his lecture, so he stood up and asked the students below the stage.
The students below the stage whispered to each other and asked each other questions. They realized that no one really knew the person who had just spoken. On the other hand, the scholarly youth Xun Kuang, who had just spoken to Li Xiang, hurriedly pushed through the crowd and ran out after realizing that Li Xiang had left. Seeing that he was young, no one blamed him.
"Prime Minister, I saw a strange expression on that person's face when you first met him.”King Qi suddenly thought of Zou Ji's expression when Li Xiang had first appeared, and he immediately turned to Zou Ji in delight.
Meanwhile, the main character of the incident, Li Xiang, was eating side dishes in the tavern without touching his wine.
In the Jixia Learning Palace debate, other than many students, there were also spies from various countries. Their goal was the same as the Qi Kingdom, which was to find talents. Among them, the Qin Kingdom had the most spies. Li Xiang left. Although many students were lost in their thoughts, the spies sent by the State of Qin forcefully slapped themselves awake and followed him.
"Hmm?" After enjoying the food, Li Xiang, who was about to leave, suddenly realized that he did not bring any gold, silver, or valuables. What should he do? Just as Li Xiang was thinking about this, he suddenly saw a familiar figure running over. It was Xun Kuang, whom he had met at Jixia Learning Palace.
"Sir!" Xun Kuang ran over, tidied up his appearance, and saluted. "You're just in time. Please take a seat. I have a favor to ask of you.”Li Xiang said with a smile. "Sir, feel free to speak! Xun Kuang will do his best!" Xun Kuang's eyes lit up and he said immediately. "You don't have to do your best. I didn't bring any money with me this time. How about you help me pay for it?”Li Xiang waved his hand and said. "Such a small matter is not worth mentioning…"
"Wait!" Just as Xun Kuang was about to take out some money to pay for Li Xiang, a man in black sitting beside him spoke up to stop him. "I was deeply moved when I heard your great speech at Jixia Learning Palace just now. Please allow me to treat you to this meal.”The man walked forward and bowed to Li Xiang. "The State of Qin is poor. This money should be kept to buy more food for our army and people.”Li Xiang shook his head and refused. " This…" The black clothed man, also known as Che Ying, did not expect that Li Xiang would actually see through his identity as a secret envoy of the State of Qin. However, when he heard Li Xiang's words, his surprise turned into anger. "Mister, are you insulting my Qin country? Although the State of Qin is poor, it doesn't lack this meal. If Teacher doesn't want it, then forget it!”The man in black flung his sleeves and left angrily. "Stop!" Li Xiang narrowed his eyes and shouted in a low voice. "Is there anything else?" Che Ying angrily turned around and shouted.
The quarrel between Li Xiang and Che Ying attracted the attention of the customers in the tavern. Everyone's eyes turned to Li Xiang's side, ready to watch the show. "I didn't mean to humiliate Qin, but since you understand it this way, I'll teach you a lesson today.”Li Xiang sat in his seat and slowly turned around to look at the man in black.
"Sir, please speak!" Che Ying knew that he had misunderstood Li Xiang, but the resentment in his heart still hadn't disappeared. He cupped his fists and said in a deep voice. "In a world of great competition, the strong will be strong, and the weak will perish. If you are weak, you have no right to speak.”Li Xiang knocked on the table with one hand and said firmly and clearly. These words could be said to describe the situation of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, but in the black-robed man's ears, it was an insult. "Don't look at me like I'm the enemy who killed your father. The emissary that your Qin country sent to Wei should have understood this very well. You can ask him when you go back.”Li Xiang ignored the black clothed man's fierce gaze, raised his cup and drank a mouthful of wine as he said. The black-clothed man's entire body relaxed when he heard this. He also released his clenched fists. He also knew about the matter of the Qin emissary being humiliated after the Qin country ceded territory.
When the envoy of Qin State entered the main hall of Wei State and faced all the civil and military officials, the first thing the King of Wei said was," Qin State also has diplomatic relations?”。Later on, even though the Qin envoy was full of witty words, he could only end up miserably. Young Master Yin mocked the Qin envoy," You weak countries have no right to bargain." After the Qin envoy returned to the Qin Kingdom and told them about what had happened, many ministers and the new ruler of the Qin Kingdom, Ying Quliang, were filled with grief and hatred. That was why they had the slogan and belief of " If the Qin Kingdom doesn't die, the Qin Kingdom must be strong " and " valiant old Qin, we will face the national disaster together ".
At this moment, the black-clothed man no longer had the courage and courage from before. After saying "thank you for your teachings" to Li Xiang, he left indifferently.
Many of the customers and students in the tavern watched Li Xiang leave with terrified gazes. They had witnessed what it meant to have a verbal battle. With just a single word, a strong and fierce Qin person had left in shame. In the end, it was still Xun Kuang who paid for the food and wine.
