The war in Yizhou is in full swing, and there is also an invisible battle in Yangzhou Shilin.

"Ridiculous! Since ancient times, the academy has been opened by men, women only need to be virtuous, and it is enough to teach women to be popular. ”

Such remarks are endlessly popping up among Shilin.

Although the Han Dynasty delegated a lot of power to women, they subconsciously believed that women should be dependent on men, and ordinary women did not have many opportunities to study except for nobles.

Those like Cai Yan who can receive a good education are those who were born into royal and aristocratic families or scholarly families. Therefore, women's education in the Han Dynasty can be said to be mainly court education and family education.

Although the matter of the women's college was a trivial matter in Yuan Shu's eyes, it caused an uproar among Shilin.

Countless scholars criticized Yuan Shu's absurd behavior, and even threw the stigma of being obsessed with women and being stupid and cruel on Yuan Shu's head.

"Lord, the gossip outside is very arrogant, should we stop it!" Tian Feng said with some concern.

"It's okay, the people who can be affected by these gossips are uninformed people, what do you care about them?" Yuan Shu said indifferently.

Has he been scolded less in the past two years? Since the beginning of the land reform in Jiangdong, all kinds of negative reputations about Yuan Shu have been everywhere in the world.

Basically, in the eyes of scholars everywhere else, Yuan Shu was a tyrant with a violent temperament and perverse behavior, no different from Wang Mang, who usurped the Han and became self-reliant.

Yuan Shu doesn't care about these gossips now, what about what Qianfu is referring to? The people who accuse him are the children of the family who have the right to speak, and they themselves have a certain conflict with his interests, and they don't represent anything at all.

"Also." Tian Feng hesitated a little and said, "There are also some rumors that are aimed at the master mothers. ”

Yuan Shu, who was originally absent-minded, turned pale: "What did you say?" ”

Tian Feng sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that this would be the case. Yuan Shu is good at everything, but he is a little too affectionate. Although this is a strength in ordinary people, it is a great weakness in the monarch.

From the tone, Tian Feng could tell that Yuan Shu was really angry. Yuan Shu is a good temper and generally doesn't get angry, but no one can control it when he gets angry, even Tian Feng is a little worried. And Yuan Shu's wives and concubines are his untouchable scales.

"I want to be able to guess it than the lord, it's nothing more than comparing a few housewives with Daji and Baoxi." Tian Feng said lightly.

"Huh! The monarch's stupidity is blamed on some women, and these scholars are just like that. Yuan Shu said disdainfully.

"Who released the news, let them disappear! Don't let me hear similar news under my command again, otherwise I don't mind washing the Jing Yang family's blood again! Yuan said indifferently.

Yuan Shu has a domineering personality and is also very macho, and he can't even keep his own woman, so what's the point of dominating the world? He was not a Virgin.

"In addition, call Cai Yong and Cai Yan! No matter how much I say, it's useless, there has to be a woman who stands up to defend the rights of this group, and now Cai Yan has this qualification. ”

"Yes!"

In fact, Tian Feng did not support Yuan Shu's doing. Of course, he also understood that this was a good thing, but losing the favor of a large number of scholars for this was indeed a little worthless in Tian Feng's opinion.

But after all, this is Yuan Shu's choice, so he naturally has his reasons. After Tian Feng reminded him, he no longer objected, and he believed in this unfathomable lord Tian Feng to the extreme, not to mention that this was not a big deal in the first place.

Yuan Shu never needed many scholars to vote, except for the local families who were subjugated, the rest of the scholars could be cultivated through.

And now that the situation in the world is chaotic, and all places belong to each place, how many scholars will still travel thousands of miles for the Ming Lord!

A real talent will never think that Yuan Shu is a mediocre person because of these rumors that cannot stand up to scrutiny. On the contrary, they must have been able to discover the deep meaning of Yuan Shu's policies.

After all, the situation in Jiangdong, as long as anyone who has seen it, understands the horror of Yuan Shu. This is definitely not something that a mediocre person can do, and Yuan Shu, who is known as the peerless hero, can also afford it.

In fact, what Yuan Shu did was similar in nature to what Qin Shi Huang and Wang Mang did back then, and the only difference was that Yuan Shu's methods were much softer. It did not pursue perfection like the first two, and completely regarded the most powerful interest groups of the time as enemies.

The two short dynasties we know well in history had a well-known tyrant.

One is the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang. The other is Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang.

Qin Shi Huang put an end to the war-torn world, basically established a centralized system, and unified writing and currency.

Although he was hacked very badly by the scholars who controlled the right to speak, Qin Shi Huang's exploits were too strong to be erased after all.

Comparatively speaking, Yang Guang is much more miserable. This product is estimated to be Qin Shi Huang's brain-dead powder, and everything is on par with Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, and this goods built the canal. Qin Shi Huang engaged in the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and this product was a wealthy family. Qin Shi Huang attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and this goods went north to Goguryeo.

Although they are both eloquent and strategic, the gap between Yang Guang and Ying Zheng is still not small. Therefore, one has been stinking for 10,000 years, and his merits are not obvious, and although the other has a bad reputation, no one can deny his merits.

Qin Shi Huang's atrocities are probably best known for their book-burning and Confucianism. But to be honest, Qin Shi Huang didn't have a problem doing this.

The burning of books and the pit of Confucianism is actually just an exaggeration, and what Qin Shi Huang did should be "burning poetry and books, pitting scholars".

The poetry books were burned because many of those poetry books were remembrance of the Six Royal Families and their yearning for these countries. How could Qin Shi Huang endure this kind of book? Therefore, he directly ordered the burning of all these poems and books with traces of the Six Kingdoms, in order to cut off the idea of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and form the idea of unification of the world.

This kind of behavior is brutal, but it is not excessive.

And there is nothing wrong with the pit square. Qin Shi Huang only killed more than 400 monks at that time, and it was purely because this group of liars did not deceive Qin Shi Huang, which caused Qin Shi Huang to be angry with these people.

However, Qin Shi Huang has indeed been suppressing Confucianism, because the Legalists and Confucianists that Qin Shi Huang trusted and relied on were mortal enemies, and when Legalism gained power, they naturally had to chase and fight this rival. Now that Confucianism is in power, hasn't Legalism also disappeared and hidden?

History is written by the victors, and even more so by those who have the right to speak.

Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Yang of Sui were called tyrants, in fact, because they offended the most powerful people at that time.

Yuan Shu is in a similar situation to these two people now, except that Yuan Shu is "softer" than them, and he has attracted many people to share the cake with him.
