"Cui Shanyou, are you impeaching Marquis Yong'an for insulting the sacred teachings and misleading people?"
Inside Tai Chi Palace.
Halfway through the morning session, Li Er suddenly called Cui Shanyou's name and asked.
Cui Shanyou was still recalling Li Zexuan's words "to persuade him to be kind" outside the Tai Chi Palace. When he heard Li Er calling him, he was startled for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, it's not right." I want to impeach you, but I represent thousands of disciples of saints and want to seek an explanation from Marquis Yong'an~!"
Li Zexuan, who was taking a nap against the dragon column in the main hall, felt refreshed and thought that it was finally his turn to play.
As expected, Li Er said: "Marquis Yong'an, come forward! Dr. Cui wants to ask you for an explanation!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Zexuan responded, walked up to Cui Shanyou, and asked with a smile: "Dr. Cui, I wonder what kind of explanation you want to ask me for? Oh, no, it should be the thousands of things you said As a disciple of a saint, what kind of explanation do you want to discuss with me?"
Cui Shanyou swallowed his saliva and mustered up the courage to say: "The sage has taught us that heaven is superior to earth and earth is inferior. The universe is determined. The humble is high and the high is the same. The noble and the low are in position. Qian Dao becomes a man and Kun Dao becomes a woman. Qian knows the beginning and Kun creates things! Now, Marquis of Yong'an, you allow a woman to live as a professor at Yanhuang Academy. Isn't this an insult to the sacred science, a disgrace to elegance, and a mistake to the younger generation?"
(Heaven is superior and earth is inferior, the universe is determined, from "Book of Changes·Xici")
Li Zexuan frowned, because what Cui Shanyou said before was very unfamiliar to him. Fortunately, he had inherited the memories of two generations of people. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally understood that this old guy just wanted to use the words of Saint Kong. Just to convey the idea that men are superior to women!
"Are you playing with me like your mother?"
After listening to so many classical Chinese articles, Li Zexuan subconsciously wanted to say a sentence, but Cui Shanyou looked confused.
Li Zexuan realized something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "Yanhuang Academy has always employed people based on merit. If Dr. Cui is dissatisfied with my appointment, he can compete with Miss Mo to test his knowledge! Why take this trivial matter to the court and delay it?" Your Majesty and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty handle world affairs~?"
In fact, the sentence he just said, "You are like your mother playing with me," was a forced translation of the modern "Are you fucking kidding me?" into a classical Chinese version. It is normal for Cui Shanyou to be confused after hearing this!
When Cui Shanyou heard that Li Zexuan wanted him to compete with Mo Lingwei, he couldn't help but darken his face and said: "That's ridiculous! How can I compete with a woman when I'm a dignified doctor from the Imperial College? Don't let the Marquis of Yong'an care about other things! Mo Lingwei!" Wei, as a woman, should not be a professor at Yanhuang Academy. What you are doing now, not only I don’t agree with, but also thousands of saints and disciples in the world will not agree~!"
In this kind of competition, no one will cheer for you if you win, and if you lose, others will say you bully women. Cui Shanyou knows how cruel he is, so he will not accept it if he is beaten to death.
There was some "buzzing" discussion in the civil servant camp.
Li Zexuan saw this and sneered: "Tsk~! After all, Dr. Cui, you just look down on women~? Then I will ask you, do you have a mother~?"
(Meaning, do you have a mother?)
He's a bit addicted to texting today, and some "bastard" words just come out of his mouth!
This time, Cui Shanyou understood. He said angrily: "Of course! Please be respectful, Marquis Yongan~!"
Li Zexuan curled his lips and said: "Respect? When did I disrespect you? You, on the other hand, disrespected your mother from the very beginning!"
Cui Shanyou was startled, then his expression changed and he said, "Have I ever disrespected my mother~?"
In ancient times, benevolence and filial piety were valued. If you were labeled as unfilial, you would be reviled by thousands of people! Cui Shanyou doesn’t want to take the blame!
Li Zexuan replied: "Ha! Dr. Cui, you just said so much. Didn't you just want to tell me that men should be superior to women in this world? Then isn't your mother a woman? You know the teachings of saints better than me. If I didn't If I remember wrongly, a sage once said: “A gentleman should stick to his roots, and the Tao will be born from his roots. Being filial to your younger brother is the foundation of benevolence? "
Dr. Cui, you just preached that men are superior to women. Are you not looking down on your mother? Are you also insulting the knowledge of saints? You can't even meet the basic requirements of being a human being according to the sage, so what qualifications do you have to point fingers at me here~? "
(Junzi Wuben comes from "The Analects of Confucius. Xue Er". The full sentence means: A gentleman concentrates on fundamental affairs. Once the foundation is established, the principles of governing a country and being a human being are established. Being filial to parents and respecting elders is the foundation of being a human being.)
Cui Shanyou's face turned pale. He knew that Li Zexuan was digging holes for him again, but it was difficult for him to find a strong argument to refute Li Zexuan in a short period of time. This was because he suffered a mental loss. In terms of his thinking agility, he was out of ten. Can't keep up with the mentally powerful Li Zexuan!
In the civil servant camp, the ministers who had been talking in low voices couldn't help but frowned after hearing Li Zexuan's argument. Fang Xuanling nodded secretly. In this hall, he was one of the few ministers who agreed with gender equality. One, because he and his wife have "true love"~!
"Strong words, strong words! Strong words! Marquis Yong'an, please don't spit on others! I have never said that men are superior to women!"
Cui Shanyou felt the burning pain on his face, and he argued forcefully.
"Haha~! It should be said that I dare not admit it. Dr. Cui, you are only good at this~!"
Li Zexuan looked at Cui Shanyou with disdain and said: "Having said that, Yanhuang Academy teaches engineering. It is a matter of course to appoint all engineering students with excellent academic performance to teach students. This is a matter of course and an internal matter of Yanhuang Academy! Dr. Cui, you It seems like an outsider can’t control it, right?”
"That's right! As the head of Yanhuang Academy, Ren Xiaoxuan appoints a professor. Doesn't he still need to come and ask for your instructions? Cui Shanyou, you are probably too lenient, right?"
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but stepped forward and interjected.
The reason why the old guy kept silent today is because he felt that with Li Zexuan's current "combat power", fighting Cui Shanyou would be a piece of cake, right? Now when he makes a sound, he is just beating up a drowned dog!
"It's all nonsense, Marquis Yong'an, you are insulting..."
"Okay! Shut up!"
Cui Shanyou wanted to refute again, but Li Er, who was sitting at the top, was a little impatient. Today's matter has been very clear so far. It was indeed wrong for Li Zexuan to appoint Mo Lingwei as the academy professor, but the Confucian defenders headed by Cui Shanyou However, it was difficult for him to argue with Li Zexuan, and other civil servants were unwilling to jump out and join the battle. After all, anyone who was greeted by someone with a "Do you have a mother" would feel a little unacceptable.
"Mo Lingwei is a key figure in the construction of astronomical telescopes. Although she is a woman, she is talented and knowledgeable enough to be a professor! Moreover, as far as I know, she is only responsible for experiments in the academy and not teaching. There is no mistake. Disciple’s words!”
Li Er paused and said decisively.
