Thanks to the great secret of his past life, his writing and rhetorical skills were quite exceptional.
Especially since he mastered the doctrine that Wang Yangming polished to perfection with a lifetime of dedication, his use of it against Zhengyang could truly be described as lacking in martial virtue.
Zhengyang's attitude today also made Zhao Douan feel a bit strange.
If yesterday's first half was Zhengyang defending orthodox studies with the vigor of a Confucian scholar, refuting Heart Learning.
Then today his rebuttals weakened, and he began asking questions instead, increasing the frequency of his inquiries.
This led to less smoke and fire in the second half, especially in the eyes of Lu and Song, their mentor repeatedly tossing out questions, with Zhao Douan eloquently addressing them, slicing through complexities like a skilled butcher.
It felt like...
A consultation!
Yes, consultation!
