"Cui Shanyou, are you the one who impeached the Marquis of Yong 'an for insulting the teachings of the saints and misleading the students?"
Inside the Taiji Palace.
Halfway through the morning assembly, Li Er suddenly called out Cui Shanyou's name and asked.
Cui Shanyou was still thinking about the words Li Zexuan said outside the Taiji Palace to "persuade him to be kind". When he heard Li Er call out to him, he was startled at first, then quickly went forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, it's not that I want to impeach, but that I represent the thousands of disciples of the saints to seek an explanation from the Marquis of Yong 'an ~!"
Li Zexuan, who was resting on the coiling dragon pillar in the main hall, was shocked at this moment. It was finally his turn to go on stage.
As expected, Li Er said, "Marquis of Yong 'an, come forward! Professor Cui wants to seek an explanation from you! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Zexuan responded and walked in front of Cui Shanyou. He asked with a smile, "Professor Cui, I wonder what kind of explanation you want from me? Oh, no, it should be the thousands of disciples of the saints that you speak of. What kind of explanation do you want from me? "
Cui Shanyou swallowed his saliva and mustered his courage, "The saints have taught us that the Heavenly Sovereign is inferior to the Earth, the universe is fixed, the inferiority is superior to the inferiority, the position of nobility and inferiority is determined, the way of heaven becomes a man, the way of earth becomes a woman. The universe knows the beginning, the kun creates things! But today, the Marquis of Yong 'an allows a woman to steal a professor of Yanhuang College. Isn't this an insult to the teachings of the saints, a disgrace to the culture, and misleading the students ~? "
(The Heavenly Sovereign is inferior to the Earth, the universe is fixed, from the 《Book of Changes》)
Li Zexuan frowned, because he was not used to Cui Shanyou's previous words. Fortunately, he inherited the memories of two lifetimes. After pondering for a while, he finally understood that this old fellow wanted to use the mouth of Confucius to convey the idea of men being superior to women!
"You are indeed like your mother playing me?"
After hearing so much classical Chinese, Li Zexuan subconsciously wanted to recite a sentence of his own, but Cui Shanyou was dumbfounded when he heard it.
Li Zexuan realized that something was wrong and quickly changed his words, "Yanhuang College has always chosen people based on their ability. If Professor Cui is not satisfied with my appointment, you can compete with Ink Girl in knowledge! Why should we bring this small matter to the court and delay His Majesty and the other officials from dealing with the world's affairs? "
In fact, when he said "You are indeed like your mother's play," he forcefully translated the modern "Are you f * cking kidding me?" into the classical version. It was normal for Cui Shanyou to be confused after hearing it.
When Cui Shanyou heard that Li Zexuan wanted him to compete with Mo Lingwei, his face couldn't help but turn black. He said, "Ridiculous! This old man is a doctor of the Imperial College. How can I compete with a woman? Marquis Yong 'an, don't try to change the topic! As a woman, Mo Lingwei shouldn't be a professor at Yanhuang College. What you're doing now, not only will I not agree, the millions of disciples in the world will not agree! "
No one would cheer for you if you won, but if you lost, people would say that you bullied a woman. Cui Shanyou knew this very well, so he wouldn't accept it even if he was beaten to death.
There was a buzz of discussion in the civil officials' camp.
Li Zexuan sneered, "Pfft! In the end, Professor Cui, are you looking down on women? Then let me ask you, do you have a mother? "
(Meaning, do you have a mother?)
He was addicted to talking nonsense today, and some "disgraceful" words came out of his mouth!
This time, Cui Shanyou understood. He said angrily, "Of course I do! Marquis Yong 'an, please show some respect! "
Li Zexuan pursed his lips and said, "Respect? When was I disrespectful? You, on the other hand, were disrespectful to your mother! "
Cui Shanyou was stunned, and then his expression changed. "When have I ever been disrespectful to my mother?"
The ancient times emphasized filial piety. If he was labeled as unfilial, he would really be cursed by tens of thousands of people! Cui Shanyou was not willing to take the blame!
Li Zexuan replied, "Ha! Professor Cui, you said so much just now. Didn't you want to tell me that men should be superior to women in this world? Isn't your mother a woman? You know the teachings of the Saints better than me. If I remember correctly, the Saints once said, "A gentleman upholds the fundamentals, and the fundamentals are born from the Dao. A filial brother is the foundation of benevolence? "
Professor Cui, you just said that men are superior to women. Aren't you looking down on your mother? Are you also insulting the Saints' knowledge? You can't even meet the basic requirements of the Saints. What right do you have to criticize me? "
(The principles of a gentleman come from the Analects of Confucius. The meaning of the whole sentence is: A gentleman focuses on the fundamental matters. Once the foundation is established, the principles of governing the country will be established. Filial piety to parents, respect to brothers, this is the foundation of being a man.)
Cui Shanyou's face turned pale. He knew that Li Zexuan was digging a hole for him again, but he couldn't find a strong argument to refute Li Zexuan in a short time. This was because he was at a disadvantage in terms of mental strength. In terms of mental agility, ten of him couldn't compare to Li Zexuan, who had a strong mental strength!
In the civil officials' camp, the officials who were whispering before couldn't help but frown after hearing Li Zexuan's argument. Fang Xuanling secretly nodded. In this hall, he was one of the few officials who agreed with the idea of equality between men and women. Because he and his wife were "true love"!
"Sophistry! Sophistry! Marquis Yong 'an, don't slander me! I never said anything about men being superior to women! "
Cui Shanyou felt the burning pain on his face, but he still defended himself.
"Ha! You shouldn't admit it. Professor Cui, you're only this promising ~! "
Li Zexuan looked at Cui Shanyou with disdain and said, "Anyway, Yanhuang College teaches engineering. It's a matter of course to appoint all the excellent engineers to teach students. This is also an internal matter of Yanhuang College! Professor Cui, as an outsider, you don't seem to have the right to interfere, right? "
"That's right! Little Xuan is the Yamachō of Yanhuang College. Does he need to ask you for permission to appoint a professor? Cui Shanyou, I'm afraid you're interfering too much! "
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but step forward and interrupt.
The reason why the old man kept silent today was because he felt that with Li Zexuan's current "fighting power", fighting Cui Shanyou would be a piece of cake. Now that he spoke up, he was just beating a drowning dog!
"Sophistry, Marquis Yong 'an, you're insulting …"
"Enough! Everyone shut up! "
Cui Shanyou wanted to refute again, but Li Zexuan, who was sitting at the head of the table, was getting impatient. Today's matter was already very clear. Li Zexuan appointing Mo Lingwei as a professor was indeed inappropriate, but the Confucian defenders led by Cui Shanyou found it difficult to argue against Li Zexuan. The other civil officials were also unwilling to jump out and join the battle. After all, no one would be able to accept being called "You have a mother".
"Mo Lingwei is a key figure in the construction of the astronomical telescope. Although she is a woman, her talent is enough to be a professor! Moreover, as far as I know, she's only in charge of experiments and not teaching. There's no such thing as misleading students! "
Li Er paused for a moment, then made the final decision.
