Chapter 046: Argument Based on Reason
Sima Hongyan, who had been impatient for a long time, heard the emperor call his name, and pushed aside everyone to come to the palace. Neither kneeling nor bowing, he said with great disdain: "I disagree with what the adults say. Don't say you don't agree, I think it's simply unreasonable! ”
She has always spoken amazingly, and Emperor Yanzhen was not surprised at all. But the civil and military ministers in the main hall couldn't accept it. The first person to shout was that Wu Shilang, who said with an extremely angry expression: "Sima Hongyan, why did you say slanderous words? I dare to say that the minister of the court is unreasonable, which is really unreasonable and bold! ”
Sima Hongyan tilted his head, squinted at Wu Shilang, and said, "This Lord Wu, may I ask where you and I are unreasonable?" Where is the boldness? ”
Wu Shilang said curiously: "You still ask me? Aren't you bold to refute the ministers of the court in front of you? Isn't it unreasonable for you to directly accuse the court minister of being unreasonable? ”
Sima Hongyan sneered: "When the emperor asked you just now, you couldn't say it. At this time, you are very enthusiastic about dealing with me, a weak woman! ”
Wu Shilang's face was slightly red, and he defended: "You are disrespectful, can't I reprimand?" ”
"Good!" Sima Hongyan said: "Then let me ask, what's wrong with the ministers of the court?" Can't the ministers of the court say the wrong thing? Can't the ministers of the court be refuted? Could it be that your so-called ministers of the court speak more undeniably than the emperor's golden mouth? Just now, the emperor clearly asked you ministers to choose some female officials, didn't none of you obey the order? Do you dare to call me audacious? Did you listen to the emperor's words? You're such a fool! ”
Sima Hongyan, an emperor on the left and an emperor on the right, said that Wu Shilang broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly knelt down to Emperor Yanzhen, and said urgently: "The emperor is clear, the ministers will never dare, don't listen to this woman's nonsense." ”
Emperor Yanzhen was secretly amused, waved his hand, and said lightly: "I don't blame, you get up!" ”
Wu Shilang wiped his cold sweat continuously, got up tremblingly and retreated back to his original place, and didn't dare to say a word about Sima Hongyan again.
Sima Hongyan didn't care about a villain like Wu Shilang at all, and said to Emperor Yanzhen: "The reason why the courtiers don't agree with your lords' opinions is because your lords' opinions are too pedantic. Why should a woman have the purpose of life to marry and have children? Can't women have aspirations and pursuits? Why should women be willing to be behind men when they have talent? I really don't understand what is the conflict between being an official and contributing to the country and getting married and having children? ”
Throwing out a bunch of questions, Sima Hongyan looked around at the minister, and said loudly: "I don't know if the courtiers have these questions, which adult will answer them?" ”
In the palace, Liao Ziling and Li Mingzhong, the two first-class ministers, did not say a word from beginning to end, as if they wanted to stay out of the matter at all. Shi Hanhai didn't say anything at this time. Wu Shilang was trained by Sima Hongyan and didn't dare to say more. All the ministers in His Highness, look at me, I look at you, but no one came out to speak.
Seeing that no one answered her, Sima Hongyan said, "Are you adults who disdain to talk to me, a little woman?" Or is what I said reasonable, and you can't answer it? ”
Seeing that no one had come forward yet, Sima Hongyan sneered and said, "Since no one has come to answer me, it seems that what I said is right, and since what I said is right, doesn't it prove that your explanation is unreasonable at all." ”
An older minister couldn't help but stand up and said angrily: "You little woman, how dare you be so presumptuous? Adults don't care about you, it's a good man who doesn't fight with a woman. Why do you still have to be aggressive? ”
Sima Hongyan didn't recognize this old minister, seeing that his hair was half white, and he was not young. For the elderly, politeness is still required. He bowed and asked, "I don't know what this lord is called?" ”
The old man snorted and said, "My name is Yan Zhengfeng, and the official worships the imperial history of Zuodu." ”
Sima Hongyan nodded and said, "Hello Lord Yan, please don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to provoke you unreasonably, but your opinions about us women today are really far-fetched. No matter what you say or do, you will see disdain and contempt for women. If you say that you are presumptuous, it is also the adults who do not respect us women first. Dare to ask Lord Yan, why should we be polite to those who don't respect us? ”
Lord Yan sneered and said, "You are simply an ignorant child! From ancient times to the present, the words of sages have always been male and female. Men are long-sighted, open-minded, and the rise and fall of the Lord world, how can you be compared with these little women? ”
This Lord Yan seems to be too pedantic in his studies, and he doesn't take women seriously at all in his bones. It seems that in front of men, women are foils, decorations, and embellishments.
Sima Hongyan felt slightly angry, but it was not good to talk to such an old man, so he had to suppress his temperament and say: "Lord Yan, your thinking is simply outrageous!" The so-called male protagonist outside the female protagonist is based on personality. But not all women only get married, have children, and take care of the family. Women are delicate, thoughtful in their words and deeds, and have a gentle temper, even stronger than men in some respects.
The words of the sages that you always refer to should also vary from time to time, and you should not be blindly stubborn. Perhaps in the era when the saint was still alive, women did not leave the house for the rest of their lives. But now women are already all-rounders, even more than men read. Why should they be inferior to men? If there is another sage who says that today is the female protagonist and the male protagonist, then all the adults have to go home and take the children? ”
Lord Yan's face turned red, and he said angrily: "You are simply a strong word. ”
Sima Hongyan said patiently: "This is by no means a strong word!" Since I, Yanling, have formulated that women can learn literature and martial arts, and have held a martial arts event, I want to give women all over the world a chance. Now I am full of talented women in Yanling, but I am hindered by the outdated thinking of your adults. Those who have literature cannot participate in politics, and those who have martial arts cannot join the army. It is even better to let a mediocre man take on a heavy responsibility than to let a woman with both ability and integrity be competent for her job. To put it simply, this is the closed-mindedness of adults. To put it deeply, it is the adults who have misled the country in disguise. ”
Unexpectedly, he deducted such a big hat from the wrong country, Lord Yan was speechless when he was speechless, and his old face was red and white. But I was unwilling to be taught a lesson by such a little woman, I was anxious and angry, and when I was about to say something more, I suddenly felt that my eyes were black, my brain was buzzing, I couldn't support it, and my body collapsed.
Sima Hongyan felt that he had spoken very carefully, but he didn't expect to make the old gentleman angry. Seeing his eyes roll up, he realized that something was wrong, and before he fell to the ground, he stepped forward and grabbed him.
Emperor Yanzhen didn't expect Sima Hongyan to faint when he said Lord Yan, and he was also surprised. hurriedly called the eunuch to help, and made people urgently call the eunuch.
The ministers also did not expect that Lord Yan, who had always been upright, rigorous, and self-disciplined, fainted in the hall, and they were all taken aback.
The two eunuchs stepped forward to set up the unconscious Lord Yan, walked out of the hall quickly, and let the imperial doctor see a doctor.
Yan Zhengfeng is a person who lives up to his name, has always been meticulous about people and himself, decent, and belongs to the character who does not rub sand in his eyes. He also read poetry and books, and his knowledge was extraordinary, so there were many important matters to ask for his opinion. However, this person is also because he is too upright, and he always offends people, so that at such an age, he can only do the left-hand imperial history of the three grades, and the supervision law is always disciplined, and if he wants to go up, he is afraid that he will not be allowed to go up regardless of age or personality.
Emperor Yanzhen used to rely on this old minister, but this old minister sometimes didn't even give the emperor face, and used the words of sages to preach to the emperor at every turn. Originally, Emperor Yanzhen asked him to return to his hometown and go home to enjoy happiness when he was 60 years old. But the old man wept bitterly and said that he would not resign from his official position. Emperor Yanzhen had no choice but to let him continue to stay in the court, but he rarely arranged things for him, so he should be allowed to retire in the court.
The old man couldn't listen to this matter today, so he came out to speak up and uphold justice. I didn't expect to be angry with myself, Emperor Yanzhen was really afraid of making this old minister angry.
Sima Hongyan saw that the emperor's face was a little unkind, and hurriedly said: "I didn't say anything excessive, it's that he is old and in poor health!" Maybe it's three highs or something, you can't blame me, right? ”
Emperor Yanzhen glared at her, but didn't speak, just waved his hand.
The emperor didn't pursue it, so that more than a dozen women in the palace breathed a sigh of relief, this Sima Hongyan really opened their eyes!
