She has always valued Lin Zifan, and she has a good feeling for Lin Zifan, not that she likes it, but that she thinks that Lin Zifan is a very good person, a person who can do things and has the ability!

But today, Lin Zifan's words about equality between men and women scared her a lot......

"What General Huo said is extremely true, if you want to rely on men to protect the family and defend the country, it is naturally impossible, after all, in terms of strength alone, men are indeed too weak and too weak to compare with women!" Lin Zifan shook his head and sighed lightly: "But ...... As I just said, the only criterion for measuring status is not only strength!"

"It's not strength, so what?" Liu Shangshu tilted his head and asked, "I don't mean anything else, but ...... I'm really confused. ”

"Isn't strength the only criterion for measuring status?"

Lin Zifan smiled: "If this is the case, how can I hold the position of Shangshu and be on the same level as Liu Shangshu?" Your strength is too much more than me, but others have seen it, even if they are not interested in my high position as a man in their hearts, but on the surface, who dares to disrespect me?"

"That's because...... Because ......" Liu Shangshu was stunned, but he couldn't say why.

"Because...... Status is not the only measure of status...... Strength!" Lin Zifan's eyes were like electricity, sweeping over everyone present, and finally, he looked at the empress and said: "And the reason why I can impress you is because of ...... Knowledge!"

"My knowledge makes up for the lack of my own strength! As a result, even if I am a man, a man who is despised by women and thinks that he should be married and taught children at home, and is responsible for being beautiful like a flower, I can still be on an equal footing with you!"

"Even, what you can solve, I can solve. What you can't solve, I can do too!"

"Knowledge...... It's power!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned and wanted to refute it, but they couldn't find the right words for a while, but when they thought about it deeply, they felt ...... Makes sense!

Indeed, if Lin Zifan fights with them with real swords and guns, he will inevitably be abused. But if it is those strange things, but they are ministers, and even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty together can't play a single Lin Zifan!

And Lin Zifan, it is with those 'knowledge' that he has gained his current status and won the respect of women!

"What Lin Shangshu said is reasonable...... 'God Sister' Li Shangshu smiled helplessly, and continued: "But ...... Or is that sentence, how many strange men like Lin Shangshu can there be in the whole world?"

Or ...... In the face of absolute strength, what about knowledge?"

"Two questions...... Lin Zifan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said: "At present, there are indeed not many people like me, but because of this...... I started the Lily of the Valley Academy!"

"Them!"

Lin Zifan pointed to the ten boys on the left, and said indifferently: "If you are willing to work hard, you will be me in the future! Even if it is not as good as me, I have only learned one-twelfth out of tenth, so what?"

"Do you think that even if I Lin Zifan only has one-twelfth of my knowledge left, isn't it enough to be on an equal footing with an ordinary woman?"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly......

Indeed, a man who doesn't know anything, only knows three obedience and four virtues, and his wife and children, naturally he has no status, and it is impossible to say that men and women are equal.

However, what if, as Lin Zifan said, he learned part of his knowledge? Naturally, there is a long difference between being matched with an empress, but it is more than enough to be matched with an ordinary woman! Words such as equality between men and women can naturally be said!

The empress's expression had changed, and in her eyes, there was no joy or anger, but there was a little complexity.

Obviously, she has understood what Lin Zifan meant, but it is precisely because of this that the empress is in a complicated mood and does not know whether to support or oppose......

After all, women are inferior to men, this is an 'ancestral precept,' and it is a view that has been deeply rooted for thousands of years, and the equality of men and women is indeed a bit of a 'deviance'......

Or ...... I don't care about anything, let Lin Zifan do it?

"As for the uselessness of knowledge in the face of absolute strength, this is the topic of opinion......"

"However, I have a question for all of you!" Lin Zifan smiled and looked at everyone.

"Take the example of the man you married back home!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you hope that your man will not know anything, but only warm the bed and his wife and children...... Or do you know a little arithmetic, can help you run the house, manage all the chores at home, so that you don't have to worry about anything?"

"You are an official, he takes care of everything in the house for you!"

"You open a shop? He does the math and accounts for you, the account book is clear, clear at a glance, not bad, so that you don't have to look at the headache of the number of account books......

"When you go out, he is diligent and thrifty, honors both parents, takes care of everything, and makes you have no worries?"

"Come, guys, tell me your answers!"

Lin Zifan looked at everyone with a hint of abuse in his eyes.

"This ......"

Nine important ministers of the court, you look at me, I look at you, although a little helpless, but still have to say that I choose the latter!

Men, it is indeed very important to be beautiful like a flower, three from four virtues, and it is also very important to teach a wife and children.

But if you can solve a lot of troubles for yourself on this basis, even the most annoying ledger can be solved...... That must be better!

"Okay, second question!"

After getting a satisfactory answer, Lin Zifan smiled brightly: "For a man who only knows three from four virtues to warm the bed, or a man who knows three from four virtues, can warm the bed and can do all the trivial things, which one is more worthy of your respect?"

"In your family, there are many people, there is more than one man, right?

Which one has a higher status? Do you still need to choose? It must be the second one!

How can they warm the bed, be obedient and considerate, can they do things the same as those who can't?

I must also like people who can do things, and I will give more respect to those who can do things, right?

Seeing that the faces of the important ministers were a little not good-looking, Lin Zifan didn't force them to answer, but just chuckled......

"It seems that you already have the answer in your minds, so ...... What if this man knew more about it, and could even help you solve some problems that you couldn't solve yourself?"

"You will still see this man as a 'humble man' who is as beautiful as a flower, or is he worthy of respect and equal treatment...... Man?"

Speaking of this, Lin Zifan looked at everyone with a smile......
