The debate held once a month in the Zhidao Academy was originally intended to facilitate students to communicate and discuss knowledge together.
Every month, students raise their doubts and discuss and debate together. There will be teachers giving guidance. No one needs to convince anyone, they just communicate and share with each other, but...
I don’t know when it started, but the debate in Zhidao Academy became a competition between the students from poor families and the children of aristocratic families. Although the monthly debate was still about debate, it lost its original flavor. Students from poor families
It is no longer about communicating with the children of the aristocratic family, but about competing for victory.
Naturally, because of their vision and knowledge base, students from poor families lose more and win less, but this does not dampen their morale.
Due to their family background, students from poor families do not know as much as those from aristocratic families, so it is normal for them to lose. On the contrary, winning once or twice is enough to boost their morale.
Debate is a dispute between the children of poor families and the children of aristocratic families, but the children of aristocratic families also have their own struggles within themselves. In addition to the four top aristocratic families in Tianqi, there are also many small aristocratic families. There are rivalries between the four top aristocratic families, and there are also disputes between the small aristocratic families.
Fight.
Debate with students from poor families is held once a month. All major aristocratic families and small worlds come here in turn. Every month, one aristocratic family is sent to debate with students from poor families. Naturally, everyone will be happy if they win. If they win, they will become famous in a small way.
, but if he loses, the descendants of the aristocratic family will lose all their face.
This month, it was not the Feng family's turn, but in order to suppress Feng Qi, the Feng family won the debate, and Feng Qi attended on behalf of the Feng family.
"All the direct descendants of the Feng family have studied in Zhidao Academy, and all of them are the best in the academy. Every direct descendant of the Feng family will participate in debate at least once. Since you have returned to the Feng family, you will represent the Feng family this month.
to attend
Debate in the Taoist Palace. Debate is held once a month. It is just a joke between students. You don’t need to take it seriously. It is just an opportunity to increase your knowledge.” This is the head of the Feng family, that is, Feng Qi.
My father's original words.
If you are someone who doesn’t know the situation in Zhidao Academy, you might just believe it. You really think that the debate in Zhidao Academy is just for fun, but...
Feng Qi, who once studied in the Zhidao Academy incognito, knew very well what the debate in the Zhidao Academy represented.
If a student from a poor family fails in debate, no one will say anything to him, because this is a normal thing. However, if a child from an aristocratic family, especially the eldest son from a top family like him, would not be able to study debate in Zhidao Academy,
If you are defeated in public, your reputation will be ruined immediately and you will be excluded from the circle of aristocratic families.
Those people will not think about the fact that he was exiled by the Feng family before and had no chance to learn these things. Those people will only see his stupidity and incompetence.
This world is so cruel. The world cannot see your hard work, only your failures and successes. Only when you succeed will your previous hard work be noticed. If you fail, it will be nothing, and your previous efforts will be nothing.
Just a joke.
As a loser, you don't even have a chance to complain, because no one is willing to listen to a loser's nagging.
After Feng Qi, the eldest son of the Feng family, returned to Beijing with a high profile, another new news spread in the family circle, that is, Feng Qi will participate in this month's debate class as the eldest son of the Feng family.
As soon as the news spread, some were surprised and some were ridiculed.
"He was plotted as soon as he entered the capital. I thought he was so powerful." The head of the Qi family has very complicated feelings for his nephew Feng Qi. Naturally, he doesn't want his nephew of the Qi family to be bullied, but he needs to take action.
Help, but he can't do it.
When Feng Qi's name was mentioned, he thought of his parents who died tragically, his sister who died violently, and the Qi family who was attacked by all forces and could fall at any time, as well as those who abandoned him and climbed to another high branch when the Qi family was in turmoil.
fiancée.
He could not forget the dark years of the Qi family, and he could not forgive the culprit who caused all this. Although he knew that Zongzi was innocent and someone deliberately took advantage of Feng Qi's birth, he still could not face Feng Qi or this leader.
Give him a child with a disastrous life.
"Father, cousin, he has done a great job." Qi Lianshan, the eldest son of the Qi family, looked at his father's tired face and felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.
A few days ago, they received a letter asking for help from cousin Feng Qi. Although his father rejected it on the spot, he knew that his father wanted to save cousin Feng Qi, but he couldn't get over the threshold in his heart.
In the days when cousin Feng Qi disappeared and there was no news, his father sat in the study all night long. In just a few days, he aged several years. It was not until the news that cousin Feng Qi was safe came that his father
Get out of the study and resume normal life.
"Hmph, the legitimate son of the Feng family was forced to the point where he almost couldn't get in. How about applauding?" The head of the Qi family snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face, but the relief in his eyes betrayed his true feelings.
He has very conflicting feelings towards Feng Qi. On the one hand, he resents the disaster that Feng Qi's birth brought to the Qi family, but on the other hand, he feels sorry for him who lost his mother when he was young and suffered bad luck as soon as he was born.
He knew very well how much his sister and his parents were looking forward to Feng Qi's birth, and even how much he was looking forward to Feng Qi's birth at that time, but Feng Qi didn't do what they hoped, and instead brought them...
fatal injury.
He couldn't face Feng Qi, so he chose to ignore Feng Qi.
"Cousin Feng Qi just doesn't argue. Didn't you say that my aunt has the same temper? Cousin Feng Qi is just like my aunt." Qi Lianshan tried to comfort him.
Feng Qi's mother is the only legitimate daughter of the Qi family. She is the apple of the eyes of her father and brother, and is also a taboo that cannot be mentioned easily in the Qi family.
Because, she is dead! She died to give birth to Feng Qi!
Every time he mentioned the apple of the Qi family's eyes, the head of the Qi family hated Feng Qi even more.
In the past, whenever the head of the Qi family was mentioned, he would have a gloomy face, but this time the head of the Qi family did not show any expression, but his eyes moved.
Feng Qi does look a lot like his sister.
Seeing this, Qi Lianshan took the opportunity to say: "Father, can I go to the debate class at the Taoist Academy tomorrow?" Feng Qi is his cousin. Compared with Feng Ning, he is naturally closer to Feng Qi and hopes more.
Feng Qi can take the position of heir to the Feng family.
Previously, Feng Qi did not fight, and no one in the Qi family cared about Feng Qi, so it was hard for him to say anything. Now that Feng Qi is back and wants to compete for the position of heir to the Feng family, his cousin must support him.
He couldn't let people in the aristocratic family circle in the capital look down upon his cousin. He wanted those people to understand that his cousin was not alone and that he had the support of the entire Qi family behind him.
"No..." The head of the Qi family refused instinctively, but he stopped as soon as he said a word. He sighed and said, "You decide for yourself."
Some things should not be taken emotionally. Others did not know it, but he knew very well that although the Qi family was still one of the four top aristocratic families, it was not qualified to be ranked second. The Qi family was now far behind the Xiao and Wang families.
The Xiao family has the support of Xiao Jiu'an, the king of Yanbei, and the Wang family has married into the Feng family. With the support of the Feng family, the two families have gone further and further apart, and the Qi family has been left behind.
If the Qi family does not move forward, it will fall out of the position of the four major aristocratic families.
And now the Qi family needs foreign aid! (To be continued)
