Yutai Shengjin's face turned red again, and he jumped out of the window directly.

Xiyue looked at her back quietly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smile again.

Next time, do you want to keep your man?

The next day, Xiyue came to the school and said to everyone during class, "Today, we will not continue to talk about the scriptures. ”

There was a lot of uproar in the audience, so what else did they have to talk about? But their master's class was always interesting, so there should be something else. And after taking his class, I feel that I have benefited a lot, some things that were originally memorized by rote on their own, can now be easily mastered, if this continues, it is not completely impossible for them to want to enter the imperial examination, but now what does Mr. want to talk about?

For a while, everyone was in high spirits, waiting for Xiyue's next words.

Xiyue looked around at the people below, and just said to them: "Today we will talk about what happened in the capital recently. ”

Everyone is very curious, what will the gentleman talk about? There are not a thousand or hundreds of big and small things happening in the capital, but they, the children of the family, just listen to what their parents say, and the rumors in the capital, and the others don't pay much attention, but they don't know what the gentleman is going to say.

Xiyue looked at the people below and asked, "Okay, now let me ask you first, why do you study and why are you officials?"

Everyone is a gentleman, and they come to study just because of their parents' orders, and their parents will donate an official to them in the future, and they can be said to act completely according to their parents' wishes, and they have never thought about this problem. It's just that after listening to Xiyue's words today, they suddenly thought, what are they for? For their own parents, but they are really willing to do this all the time, they have nothing else to do every day, and they will rely on the protection of the family to live in the future......

Everyone was lost in thought.

At this time, only one person stood up, Li Yutao He was the hardest working among all of them, and he was an exception among the gentlemen, although he also played, but he didn't dare to fall behind in learning. Therefore, Xiyue also paid more attention to him.

Li Yutao was neither humble nor arrogant: "Please ask for your life for the people." ”

Xiyue: "Okay. Scholars, officials first, scholars first, then I have a few questions I want to ask you. ”

Li Yutao bent over and listened: "Please speak." ”

Xiyue: "For farmers, they work diligently in Fengtian. But what if there is a natural disaster and there is no harvest?"

Li Yutao: "The imperial court will reduce taxes as appropriate to survive the disaster year." ”

Xiyue: "If the wind and rain are smooth, or will there be no harvest?"

Li Yutao groaned slightly: "Explore the reason and make a decision." ”

Xiyue asked one after another, "But what if you can't find out the reason?"

Li Yutao said angrily: "How can you not find out the reason?"

All sentient beings should be reconciled, indicating that Mr. This is clearly unreasonable! Only a few princes looked at Xiyue and thought quietly. Although he is talking about the way of being an official now, they seem to have gained something after listening to it, regardless of whether they can ascend to that position in the future, but there is one thing they know very well, that is, the people's heart, no matter what, it is good for them to get the people's heart, and her question just now, which seems to be unreasonable, is telling them how to win the people's heart...... This gentleman is really not ordinary.

"Then I'll change the question. Xiyue said, "If the wind and rain are smooth, but there is no harvest." What should we do if the mob gathers to make trouble and injure officials before the court has found out the cause?"

Li Yutao sighed: "Mr. originally wanted to talk about the city gate trouble. Why go around in such a big circle?" almost everyone knows this news, and because of this, their parents do not allow them to go out of the city, and they have been in the capital for the last few days, which is really boring.

Xiyue gave a false salute: "Ask for advice." ”

Li Yutao tilted his head and said loudly: "The mob makes trouble, and it should be dismissed." No dismissal, kill the chicken and make an example. ”

Xiyue turned around and faced everyone: "Do you have any objections?"

No one spoke. His face was full of resentment.

Only Shantai Shengjin and Shantai Shengze kept their heads down and thought, but neither of them spoke, and although Shantai Shengli did not answer, the meaning revealed in his eyes was the same as everyone. He also knew what Mr. meant, but it was just a group of mobs, but if it was pacified, it could also buy the hearts of some people in the capital......

"Smack!"

Xiyue asked softly: "Mob? The word light can beat the people into a mob, but it can be justified in committing atrocities." ”

Then his face changed, and he asked, "Let me ask you, where are they violent?"

Li Yutao was stunned and said, "It's the mob you said first, sir." ”

Xiyue said quickly: "If I say yes, I will believe it? Who am I? Who are you? If you are an official in the future, you will believe what others say? Don't you have eyes, don't you have ears? Do you want to be in charge of the territory of Kyushu like Your Majesty? One day, if you can really get to the top of the department, you will be the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and you can only listen, not think?"

Li Yutao said angrily: "The imperial court didn't say that it didn't matter, and sent people to check, but they directly surrounded the officials for their own selfish desires. Not to mention beating the court officials, they still gathered at the city gate to make trouble, and forced the court to allocate funds, how can this not be called a mob?"

Xiyue: "Are you hearsay, or have you heard it with your own ears? Is what you hear and see the same as what they hear and see? Have you go?"

Li Yutao was speechless.

Zuo Qianling couldn't look at it and said, "Who in Manjing doesn't know?"

Xiyue paced in front of him again and asked, "Do you know, then do you know why Liangtian is not collected? Do you know? Do you know why they want to do it? Do you know why they are desperate to enter the city? Do you know why this group of mobs who are only for their own selfish interests do not go to rob passers-by for money? Don't you think it is strange?"

Zuo Qianling also shut up. "Who knows?"

Xi Yue smiled, pushed a step away, and spread her hands: "They are not mobs, they are just fools. Never studied, never read. They can't learn, you don't want to learn, so who will learn? Who will solve the problem. Who's going to find out? It's not you, because you don't care. But isn't it you who is in charge of people's livelihood in the future?"

Xiyue: "One acre and three points of land, that is their sky, is their life! What do you say, it has nothing to do with you." Nothing to do with boys, aren't you cannibalistic fireworks?"

Zuo Qianling twisted his hands and said awkwardly: "I am a shallow learner, I have never heard of it, and I don't know where to start." ”

Xiyue: "I don't want you to be so knowledgeable and know everything. But the peasant households have been entrenched at the city gate for several days. I just want to ask, is there any of you who have been to see, asked, questioned, cared about, and appeased?"

Xiyue: "I don't care about the things in front of me. When you climb the temple in the future, will you ever remember who you are? What do you live by? Welcome, pat the horse, be vain?"

Xiyue's criticism was sharp and prickly, aggressive, and didn't give them time to react.

She raised her hand and said in a loud voice, "Just by listening to your few words, I can count your three deadly sins." ”

"One! Lonely and arrogant, closed to words. ”

"Second, listen to slander and do not distinguish between right and wrong. ”

"Three! Ignorance and self-deception!"

"Even if you are in a high position in the future. What is the difference with a corpse vegetarian meal!"

"Do you have any thoughts about your future now, are you willing to be like this forever, relying on the achievements of your parents, and waste your whole life? Have you ever thought about where your future is?" Then Xiyue turned her eyes to the princes and said to them, "Do you all think they are mobs?"

All the princes didn't dare to speak. Xiyue's reprimand just now, they all understand, but they haven't acted before. And they used to think that this was a mob from the bottom of their hearts, but now it seems ...... They are all deeply reflecting in their hearts.

"If you want to be an emperor, how can you not see the suffering of the people for yourself. Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and said unhurriedly, her long eyelashes covering her beautiful snow eyes like jewels. Everyone didn't expect Xiyue to say such things in this situation, is this something he can say as a courtier? And now he is not a courtier, just a small teacher, if that prince reports her words today to the emperor, maybe the emperor will sentence him for disloyalty......

It's just that everyone is silent, because they all know that what Xiyue said is correct, and they are all reflecting on their previous behavior. And Yutai Shengze was also secretly thinking in his heart, could it be that the test that the master gave him was this? When he thought of passing the test, he would ...... His mood couldn't help but get excited.

That night, someone reported what Xiyue said to the emperor. When the emperor listened to Xi Yue's words, he lowered his head and pondered, this person is really a usable talent, but he is too bold to speak, if he has no dissenting intentions, he will be a good courtier, but why, he wants to go to the country to teach The emperor couldn't figure it out, and directly ordered the people around him, but they found out the details of Xi Yue, and made people pay attention to the city gate trouble, but there is no need to interfere.

The next day, Xiyue walked into the school, and the people inside had already arrived.

This time, instead of studying or talking about other games, they were talking to each other.

Seeing Xiyue coming in, they all returned to their respective places and greeted each other.

When she returned the salute, the student Lin Wengshao couldn't wait to say, "Sir, I've already asked clearly." ”

Xiyue sat on the rattan chair unhurriedly: "Say." ”

Lin Weng took a step forward, and after taking it with one hand, he said:

"Those farmers are just ordinary people in Xiwang Village, a suburb of Chang'an. ”
