I write novels in the East Palace

"My speech is over." In the embarrassing silence, only Zhou Chengyi's voice echoed through the loudspeaker. He sat on the chair casually and without breaking etiquette, with his hands crossed to support his chin, and the smile on his face was still gentle and polite. .

"Do you have any questions? If not, today's press conference is over—"

"Caomin has something to ask!" A student from the Taixue School sitting in the front row suddenly stood up, holding back his anger and disappointment. Zhou Chengyi saw that his eyes seemed familiar, and guessed which official's son he was.

Zhou Chengyi understood the reason for his anger, but disappointed?He gestured leisurely.

It was Chu Tian, ​​the son of Chu Shangshu, Jiang Yusheng's immediate superior, who stood up.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is the only department among the six departments that has two ministers on the left and right. It is not only because of Shangshu Lu’s greed, but also the basics of people’s livelihood such as land, household registration, military supplies, salary, food and wages involved in the Ministry of Accounting. For such an important position, one person dominates It is terrible.

Lu Shangshu, who has been imprisoned, used to be the head of the household department. His official position was first-rank, and he was in charge of national financial expenditures. Chu Shangshu was first-rank, and he was the head of Y, but he was in charge of household registration and land and other official affairs other than money.Although the two were in the Ministry of Households together, there were more intersections between Shangshu of Chu and Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials.

Because of this, people from the family of Chu Shangshu in the household department were not implicated.

At the beginning, when the crown prince supervised the country and thoroughly investigated the government and the public, even though his father was also in prison, Chu Tian still felt very happy. His admiration for the crown prince could make him trample on the fourth son, which is evident from this.

When he learned from his father that the prince was the initiator and promoter of the female officials' participation in the imperial examination, Chu Tian didn't believe it. He felt that his father resented the prince for being too harsh and so slandered and splashed dirty water.

When he heard that the prince was going to give a lecture in Taixue, Chu Tian was very happy. For the first time, he stepped into Taixue before dawn and found a seat in the front row, just to better admire the heroic appearance of the prince.

Then he was yelled at by a taunt.

Although Chu Tian was disappointed, he still had a bodhisattva heart of "rescue the suffering and rescue the distressed", trying to pull Zhou Chengyi ashore from the sea of ​​suffering. His words were quite earnest, starting from Zhou Li first, and then respecting Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, and Ban Zhao's three obediences and four virtues Women's rings, etc., and finally compared the female officials of the Tang Dynasty, saying that they should not have borrowed money because they flattered the powerful, prostituted the palace, and exercised power.

He said angrily, "Your Highness, this matter is extremely absurd. It doesn't conform to the rules and regulations. Isn't it perverse! Please think twice, Your Highness!"

The words were quoted from the scriptures, and the sound did not fall on the ground, which caused a lot of applause.

Zhou Chengyi wanted to laugh when he heard it halfway, but felt that it was so impolite, so he held back, and after he finished the applause, he asked, "Where did you say all the rules and regulations come from?"

"It is Zhou Xingli and music, and Han respects Confucianism." Chu Tian replied proudly.

"The Zhou and Han dynasties that lasted more than a thousand years... But what does that have to do with my Xiao Dynasty?"

Zhou Chengyi curled the corner of his mouth, flicked his fingers twice in front of his eyes, his tone of unhurried tone suddenly changed, and the momentum forced him, "The person sitting in the hall today is the emperor of my Xiao Dynasty, how dare Ru'an follow the rules of the previous dynasty?" The ancestral system to determine the affairs of this dynasty?"

"Could it be that you disrespect the king in your heart and want to turn against Xiao and restore Zhou Han?" Zhou Chengyi's sharp gaze forced Chu Tian to retreat, but there was nowhere to retreat, so he could only slump down on the chair hastily.

Chu Tian swallowed hard, and quickly explained, "Caomin didn't mean that—"

"Gu knows what you mean." Once Zhou Chengyi's self-proclaim came out, it meant that his current identity was the prince of Xiao Guo, not the spokesperson of the female official incident.

He said, "How many books have you read?"

Chu Tian didn't know why he asked these questions, so he answered honestly, "I can't remember the details, but I have roughly passed the lectures in the school." He gave some examples, most of which were books related to the imperial examination.

Zhou Chengyi nodded, and asked Yu Ying below, "Have you learned everything he said?"

"Naturally!" Before Yu Ying could answer, the old gentleman sitting beside her held his head up and looked proud, "How can this old man's granddaughter only learn these things? Yes, all famous articles have been dabbled in, even those that are more out of the way are skipped."

While speaking, he reported some articles and books that were really out of the way, so many Confucian scholars and literati in the field, but very few people had heard of them.

No one questioned Mr. Song Xuwen's answer, and everyone was surprised that Yu Ying had read so many books.

Zhou Chengyi asked Chu Tian again: "How many articles and poems have you written in your life? Are you famous?"

Chu Tian blushed suddenly, it was hard to say, and it took a long time to mention an article written for "Reader Comments", which attacked Zhige because of "The Kingdom of Women".

Zhou Chengyi raised his eyebrows. He actually read that article. He remembered that Jiang Yusheng wrote an article imitating his style of writing in response to this article.

He was not surprised that this person turned out to be his black fan. After all, the last few articles written by Zhi Ge touched their interests. Even if someone told him that all the literati in Chang'an were offended by Zhi Ge, he would Not surprised.

Zhou Chengyi asked Yu Ying again, this time it was Mr. Song who rushed to answer, he was even more proud when he mentioned this than just now, after all, it is not in vain that Yu Ying can be called a layman as a talented woman.

The old man reported the titles of several articles in a row, and at the end he waved his hand and said, "Young Qing is still young, and you don't write much. You are laughing at me."

Many people were a little shocked. Everyone knew that Yu Ying was talented. Even if they hadn't read it, they must have heard of it. Most of the people who studied have passed on, even if they were placed in the top ranks of the imperial examinations in the past dynasties, they are not inferior.

Chu Tian, ​​who could barely come up with an article, immediately covered his face in shame and sat down.

Zhou Chengyi actually understands that this is because it is far more difficult for a woman to become famous than a man, so those who can leave a mark in the history of literature and be admired by others must be above the same level.

If Yu Ying is a man, why is he like this.

He sighed in his heart, and said, "Who still wants to discuss with Layman Guanxue?"

Yu Ying stood up and looked back, and everyone who wanted to make eye contact with her looked away.

Zhou Chengyi twitched his lips and looked around, "Everyone, if an ordinary man has such achievements, even if he doesn't want to be an official in the court, he should be recommended by someone, right? But why does Yu Youqing even get basic respect in a debate competition?" No? Is it because she is a woman?"

"You keep saying that you don't conform to the rules and the ancestral system. Are you really afraid that you will lose face if you fail the exam for a woman?" Zhou Chengyi sneered.

"Of course not!" Someone retorted.

"What is that?" Zhou Chengyi pierced his gaze, "Why are you so excited if you're not afraid of you?"

"The stone smashed into the pack of dogs, and the one who barks and chases out to bite is often the one that gets hit." His words were faint, and some people were still dissatisfied, but if he stood up at this time, wouldn't it just be in response to the jumping words in his words? dog.

After some verbal debate, the field became quiet.

Zhou Chengyi's words changed, and he immediately showed what he had learned and sold, showing the look and words of Prime Minister Fang fooling the court officials in the court hall, "Actually, my father and emperor did not agree with this female officer's imperial examination, but the voice from the bottom was too loud, so I went along with it." But it’s just a trial.”

"What's a trial? It's just a trial. If this year's female officer recruitment ratio is small, next year it will be cancelled. Why don't you be more generous, and when someone comes out to say it, can't you just say those big truths?"

"The current excitement, what else can I do other than make people think that men are small-minded? My father has been in power for 40 years. You can see that the decree has been changed every day? For the stability of the Xiao country, even if this decree is really not good, it must be implemented for at least one year. imperial examination."

Not only the men below believed the nonsense that Zhou Chengyi said with his eyes open, but the women also believed it. They immediately ignored those strange things and wanted to prove themselves, and Yu Ying was one of them. one.

Shen Ping, who was the only one who knew the truth, immediately shut up and pretended not to know anything when he saw how high their fighting spirit was.

Zhou Chengyi looked around the stage before asking again, "What do you guys think?"

"What Your Highness said is not unreasonable, give them a chance, and save them from pushing it to us."

"It's true, women are used to passing the buck."

"..."

This group of opposing Confucian scholars still kept belittling women.

Zhou Chengyi selectively filtered these words, with a faint smile on his face, quietly watching them convince themselves.

Some people also noticed the perfunctory and traps in Zhou Chengyi's words, but because they couldn't find sufficient arguments to refute Zhou Chengyi's previous questioning, they could only shut up angrily.

In this official press conference, Zhou Chengyi didn't show too excited except for the yin and yang words at the beginning. However, this kind of gentle yet tough debate was even more impressive.

Although those Confucian scholars only temporarily bowed their heads due to the formality, the matter of the female official was completed beautifully. Zhou Chengyi, the legendary prince, also officially entered the folk. For a long time, the streets and alleys of Chang'an City have been talking about Today's preaching.

Later, the reporter who wrote this news report in Zhaojialou commented: "The first voice is the first, and the third question is followed by the Dongjun character."

When Zhou Chengyi saw it, there was always a feeling that the other party was awarding him the trophy of "Top Ten People Who Touched Xiao Country".

And that issue of "Daily News" and "Chang'an Chaobao" both had a portrait of Zhou Chengyi sitting on a chair with his fingers crossed and propping his chin on the cover. This picture has been handed down to later generations and was copied and used by many painters. It has also become a classic image of Zhou Chengyi in history.

Zhou Chengyi successfully returned to the palace to submit the character, and by the way gently urged the emperor to speed up the progress of literacy education.

The emperor was really forced to work a lot more because of Zhou Chengyi. Hearing this, he immediately frowned and said, "It just so happens that I feel mentally weak these days, why don't I come to supervise the country as the prince?"

"Father, my son suddenly got inspiration, so I'm going back to write a new article." Zhou Chengyi ran away without looking back, leaving the emperor Ling Lingqi behind.

Zhou Chengyi was not joking when he said that he would write a new article, "Glass and Jade Bones" had already been published, and Fu Qian had been urging him to start a new article for a long time.

Zhou Chengyi only wants to write novels, but there are always people who want to make troubles.

In mid-June, on the day of Zhou Chengan's wedding, he divorced Shen Ping, saying that it was because of Zhou Chengyi's obstruction!

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Zhou Chengyi: I'm done.

Emperor: I'm at it again.

Zhou Cheng'an: I'm going to start making trouble.

Looking at the outline, Ionic Solid is back one step closer, which is great.
