The scholar-bureaucrats were all stunned.<><>Novel
It's not just a day or two for them to make trouble for the singing girls. This Kong Ling always stays behind closed doors and doesn't dare to show his face. He's just a weakling. He never expected that his tone would be so arrogant when they met.
.
However, Lu Changqing was worthy of his words. He dared to discipline even famous magistrates, not to mention the president of the Legislative Yuan.
How could we be like this? If we were wrong, it was Dean Kong who was wrong first."
This old man Lu was indeed very eloquent. Kong Ling was choked by his words and was speechless, saying: "I did make a mistake, and I will review it myself. Let's not talk about this for now. Come to the Legislative Yuan.
What's the point of it?"
Lu Changqing raised his head and hummed: "As far as I know, this Legislative Yuan was established for the people."
"good."
Kong Ling nodded.
Lu Changqing added: "And every law in the Legislative Yuan must pass a show of hands by hundreds of legislative ministers before it can be passed."
Kong Ling smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Lu knows our Legislative Yuan very well."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Lu Changqing waved his hand and said: "Not only that, the reason why the imperial court stipulated that each state capital must establish a legislative Yuan is because it hopes to set corresponding laws according to different local conditions and make the laws more flexible.
I wonder if I’m wrong?”
Kong Ling said: "That's exactly it."
Lu Changqing said with a smile: "That's strange, why didn't I see this?"
Kong Ling said: "I wonder what Mr. Lu is referring to?"
Lu Changqing said: "As far as I know, this law on geishas was not voted on by a show of hands by the Legislative Secretary of Daming Mansion, but was directly promulgated."
Kong Ling said: "The law on the protection of women belongs to the basic law. This basic law is the basis of our laws in the Song Dynasty. It will be promulgated directly by the Legislative Yuan of the capital and will not go through the legislative Yuan of other state capitals. Therefore, there is no show of hands to vote."
"The Legislative Yuan said it was established for the people, but the laws it promulgated actually harmed the interests of the people. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?" Lu Changqing said: "As we all know, we spent our own money to train the private prostitutes in our house from childhood. We spent a lot of money on them.
A lot of hard work and money has been invested in them, and we did not force them, it was their own free will. It is unjustifiable for the court to let our hard work go to waste with just one word."
A person next to him also said: "Brother Lu is right. This singing prostitute has been like this since ancient times. No one has ever thought it was inappropriate. Why should it be changed? The court did not give a specific explanation."
Another person said: "Although the system of the Legislative Yuan seems fair, God knows who those legislative directors are, and whether you officials are colluding with each other. You have the final say in everything, so why can you represent the people of the world?"
, As far as I know, there are a majority of people who oppose the women’s protection law, and we are not convinced.”
Lu Changqing angrily said: "The law of protecting women is nonsense. The sage has said that women have three obediences. There is no special way. Therefore, before you are married, you will obey your father, when you are married, you will obey your husband, and when your husband dies, you will obey your son. There is another way.
The four virtues are women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance, and women's merits. If we look at this law, this woman will not abide by these three obediences and four virtues, and she can do whatever she wants. In ancient times, there were praises and disasters like Daji's, and today there are witches such as Li Shishi. Is this still true?
Isn’t it enough? This woman has a long tongue and a strong character. This decree is enough to push the foundation of our Song Dynasty into the abyss."
"If we go by what Mr. Lu said, then I'm afraid that man will have to come up with some kind of nine virtues and thirteen virtues."
At this time, a strange laughter suddenly sounded in the lobby.
Everyone looked for the sound and saw a young man leaning on a beam, looking at them with a smile, as if he were looking at a monkey.
When Kong Ling saw this person, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, you are finally out.
This person is none other than Li Qi.
Li Qi stepped forward, looked at Lu Changqing and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you can count the disasters caused by women with one hand, but the disasters caused by men, even if we put all our fingers together, I'm afraid we can't count them. What?
King You of Zhou, Emperor Qin II, Emperor Hui of Jin, Emperor Ling of Han, Emperor Yang of Sui, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. These are just the emperors. There are many treacherous ministers. I am too lazy to name them. This woman has a long tongue and is considered a powerful person.
, so what does it mean if a man has power? According to you, if a man should not have power, does it mean that a woman has to be the master of the house? "
Lu Changqing couldn't help but change his face during this fight for the white spot, pointed at Li Qi and said, "Who are you? How dare you speak nonsense in this courtroom."
Li Qi smiled and said: "I am Li Qi."
"Li Qi?"
Lu Changqing sounded familiar, and suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Are you the Golden Knife Chef King?"
Li Qi nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, that's right. I'm so honored that Mr. Lu can recognize me." As he said that, he took out his token and gave it forward, and said with a smile: "This is
Please take a look at the token I have given you to verify its authenticity."
At this time, Kong Ling hurriedly walked down, took the token, looked at it, and immediately saluted: "The Privy Council is here. I am blind and do not recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me. Privy Council, please take a seat."
"Don't mess around, don't hurt me."
Li Qi raised his hand and said: "If this is a military camp, I am qualified to sit here, but your Legislative Yuan and our Privy Council do not interfere with each other. Strictly speaking, I will still be under your control. You let me sit here.
Isn't this intentional to harm me? Sit back quickly, I feel dizzy hearing this."
"yes."
Kong Ling bowed his hands and sat back.
When the others saw it, they all turned pale with fright, and the ones who had yelled the most fiercely retreated quickly.
This Li Qi can be said to be the natural enemy of the scholar-bureaucrats. It is precisely because of his existence that the scholar-bureaucrats are often disgraced. Among the scholar-bureaucrats, it can be said that they have changed their minds after hearing this. They would rather mess with the emperor than mess with the cook.
Be against.
This person is not a good person! But no matter what, Li Qi is a first-class official after all, and even a scholar-official must be polite. Lu Changqing stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "It turns out that the privy envoy has arrived. Lu has offended me a lot, please."
Privy Council, please forgive me."
Even so, he still looked very arrogant.
The others also saluted.
"How dare you, how dare you, Mr. Lu is really embarrassing this junior." Li Qibinbin returned the greeting to everyone.
Li Qi suddenly appeared, and the atmosphere became very subtle, and everyone fell silent.
Lu Changqing asked tentatively: "I wonder what the privy envoy is doing here?"
Li Qi said truthfully: "Oh, a few months ago. I was ordered to go to Yanyun to hold a military exercise of the Fourth Army. When I came back, I passed by the treasure land and planned to stay overnight and cross the river to return to Beijing tomorrow."
"I see."
Lu Changqing nodded, thinking to himself, it was really unlucky to meet him today.
Li Qi glanced at the crowd and said: "Why don't you say anything? Don't worry, everyone. What this Legislative Yuan talks about is human speech. Everyone has an equal status here and can speak freely. If not, how can the law be established? So
Don’t be afraid. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can speak out and let’s discuss it.”
"Since the Privy Council has said so, don't blame me for speaking out."
"How dare. How dare. Mr. Lu said it's okay."
Lu Changqing said: "We have nothing else to do here. We are just dissatisfied with some of the laws on the protection of women promulgated by the Legislative Yuan and hope that the Legislative Yuan can revoke this law."
You withdraw as soon as you say, and others don't know. They think you are the emperor. Li Qidao: "I have just heard a lot of remarks about this. Don't talk about any big principles. I don't understand them very well. In short, it is to give to singing girls."
Being free has harmed your interests. After all, you have spent a lot of money on those singing girls. Training them in music, chess, poetry and painting, and giving them food to eat. I personally understand your complaints very much, and I sincerely understand them.
of."
Lu Changqing was a little stunned. Judging from Li Qi's previous words, he probably wasn't here to support them. He responded: "It would be great if the Privy Councilor could understand. This singing prostitute has been around since ancient times. Why should we do this?"
A sudden change is totally unreasonable."
Li Qi had just refuted the fact that this woman was the cause of trouble, and he had no way to refute it. This man had done far more trouble than women, but the strange thing was that the people clearly remembered Daji and Bao Si, but for
The crimes committed by those foolish kings and traitorous ministers are unclear. In the final analysis, this is because the power of speech is held by men, so the vilification of women is much more severe than that of men.
Li Qi smiled and shook his head and said: "But since ancient times, reforms have always hurt some people. In the beginning, killing was not illegal, but later it was made illegal, which greatly harmed the interests of the murderer. This is the truth.
"
Lu Changqing hummed: "Privy Council, please be careful, how can you compare us with those murderers? This is an insult to the scholars in the world."
"It's just a metaphor. If I offend anyone, please forgive me."
Li Qi smiled and thought to himself, this old guy reacted really quickly. He said: "Actually, the imperial court did this not just for singing girls, but to illustrate a central idea, that is, everyone is equal before the law.
As we all know, it is illegal to sell good people in our dynasty, but it is legal to sell geishas. They are also women. If someone sells Mr. Lu's daughter to others as a private prostitute, Mr. Lu will definitely go up and fight for it.
Even if the case is brought to Dali Temple, the person must be brought to justice, but if it were a singing prostitute, this situation would not happen. This is an unequal law."
At this point, he paused and said: "Even from a moral point of view, singing girls will promote extravagance, sensuality, and are extremely inhumane. As far as I know, the private prostitutes in your house are not human beings at all, they are just
It's just a tool for you to enjoy, vent, and play with it however you want. It can be bought and sold freely, allowed to be enjoyed by others, and can even be whipped as much as you want. It is no different from a pig. Is this what the saints taught you?"
There was a moment of silence.
In fact, even if this matter goes to heaven, it is definitely not justified by the scholar-officials, because many private prostitutes do not live a human life, they are just a tool for venting, worse than pigs and dogs. However, the scholar-officials are the leaders of this era. In the past,
It's all like this. You have liberated the singing girls, so how can we have sex? This is the reason, nothing else.
This does not demonstrate Li Qi's eloquence at all.
Although they were speechless, all of them had dissatisfaction on their faces. However, since Li Qi was the Privy Councilor, they had to be cautious.
Li Qi smiled and suddenly changed the topic: "So when it comes to promulgating the Women's Protection Law, this is definitely a win-win situation. In fact, when the Women's Protection Law was first proposed, the Emperor also asked me. I thought about it and felt that this
The law can benefit everyone in the world, because it can lead us to a more advanced society and make everyone equal before the law. This is also a good thing for you. After weighing the pros and cons, you are still the winner.
"
Lu Changqing hummed: "This old man didn't notice it."
"Can't you see? Then I'll demonstrate it for you."
As he spoke, Li Qi suddenly stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and slapped Lu Changqing directly on the face.
