At this moment, Yan Shi never expected to be tricked by her own father. She just thought that she could not ask her brother to take the blame, so she said seriously: "Returning to the father is indeed a little bit of Fu Yan's humble opinion."
Immediately, an old man rolled up his sleeves and started shouting: "As a woman, Your Highness should be merciful, filial, gentle, courteous and prudent, abide by your duties, and not interfere in the affairs of scholars!"
This was said so rudely that others thought she was about to get angry, but Yan Shi said at a loss: "Father, you called me here to talk about the brochure, didn't you? My lord, could it be that you are the queen's guest?"
The woman who came is, ahem...an official?"
Emperor Ming Yan almost laughed out loud.
To be honest, he felt that with his little girl's mouth, she could fight alone in the civil and military affairs of the dynasty without falling behind.
The old man's face turned green because she was right in what she said. It was the queen's responsibility to educate the princess, so he couldn't refute it.
Another person stepped forward to help: "Your Highness, the Imperial College is a place of moral education and a place for nurturing talents. After all, Your Highness is a layman, so it is best not to interfere rashly."
"My lord," Yan Shi said, "what is wrong with what I mentioned?"
The man said: "For example, that daring test, isn't that nonsense? Isn't it disrespectful to ask scholars to live among beggars?"
Sure enough, this point attracted the most firepower. Yan Shi said: "My lord, I would like to ask you, what will the students of the Imperial College do in the future?"
They know this question!
Then all the officials gathered together, raised their hands, and said: "Of course you should be loyal to the king and serve the country!"
"Of course," Yan Shi said, "Students in the Imperial College study to understand reason, to become talented, to become officials, to be loyal to the emperor, and to serve the country, right?"
"Of course it is."
"So, among the descendants and nephews of your lords, regardless of whether they are relegated sons or concubines, who would like to have the kind of person who doesn't care about childbirth and doesn't understand worldly affairs, just asking his family to raise him, looking at flowers and admiring the moon when he has nothing to do?
A person who vomits blood and writes flashy articles that hurt the spring and autumn? Who wants such a nephew?"
Nonsense, of course no one wants it, who is stupid?
The Imperial Academy's Jijiu felt that he had something to say: "How could Your Highness look down upon my Imperial Academy students so much!"
"Why do you say this, sir?" Yan Shi said sternly: "Brothers and younger brothers are studying in the Imperial College. If I look down on the Imperial College, why do I have to do everything possible to get into the Imperial College?"
The Imperial Academy offered wine and nodded solemnly: "In that case, why did Your Highness say this?"
Yan Shi said: "I have always been extremely impressed by the 'knowledge' of the teachers at the Imperial College, but what about other than knowledge?"
She took out the manuscript she had brought: "I don't know poetry at all, I can barely read. But a few days ago, I went to the Osmanthus Festival with my brother. Because I happened to be making disaster relief things, I took the opportunity to ask for advice.
After a while, all the students..."
She shook her head and sighed deeply: "I originally wanted to ask for help, but I didn't expect that after looking through all the manuscripts, I found only one by Gu Xiaolang that was 'useable'."
She distributed the manuscripts to everyone: "My lords, I just want to ask if you can find out what is 'usable' in these articles."
These people circulated it one after another.
Because Xu Wenqu had read it in advance and there were some circled comments on it, these people seemed to be more convenient. Yan Shi watched these elders carrying the manuscript far away, and he wanted to promote the magnifying glass by the way, but at least he resisted.
Already.
After everyone took a quick look at it, they were speechless for a while.
Especially those who saw their nephew's article were speechless, especially Xu Wenqu's comments, which are always sharp and pungent. Some directly wrote: "Bullshit!" and even more harshly, "It's like a kabuki wielding a knife", which is obviously a saying.
Both fancy and awkward.
At this time, Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty casually made amends. He asked someone to bring over the disaster relief instructions that Yan Shi had given to the prince... and Gu Xiao's articles.
I am afraid of comparison in everything. From the perspective of "readability", these two articles are nothing, but from the perspective of "usability", other people's articles are indeed just a pile of shit.
Some treacherous officials have already begun to think deeply. After all, isn't it obvious what kind of article the emperor wants to see?
Yan Shi said: "My lords, you don't want such nephews, but you let them grow up like this. Isn't it strange? I have always believed that doing things is more important than learning. No matter how good a person is in writing, if he doesn't know how to behave,
, that’s just a nerd.”
She paused for a moment: "How much human, material, and financial resources does it take for a family to cultivate a husband? Although parents' love is selfless, their children should also think about repaying it. The family has many descendants and all of them are talented.
This is the way to make a family prosperous. On the contrary... mediocrity is fine, but if there is someone who is out of tune and careless, the family head's achievements over several years may be buried in his words and deeds..."
These words may not be deeply felt by those who come from a poor family, but those who come from an aristocratic family really...resonate so much. Who hasn't heard the news about a few unscrupulous people? Who hasn't been involved in a few unscrupulous people?
The hardships of being a relative are really known to everyone who meets them.
Yan Shi then continued: "If jade is not polished, it will not become a tool, and if a person does not learn, he will not know righteousness. If you want to become a talent, you do not just hold a book and study hard, write two eight-legged essays, participate in two literary conferences, and praise each other."
, you must have targeted learning in order to grow.”
She put her hands behind her hands and talked:
"First of all, being shut up in a room and studying all day long is not the way to live a long life. It is not the way to keep fit, to practice the six skills of a gentleman, and to control all kinds of things. It should not be thrown away."
"Secondly, 'competition' can encourage people to grow. Like the imperial examination, it is also about selecting the best and eliminating the worst. Why do we have to force ourselves to be together in daily life? Compare more with others and listen to other people's opinions, so that you can learn from each other's strengths, learn from your shame and be brave, and continue to
Make progress."
"Again, why do we need to observe the world? Because they will definitely have to deal with all kinds of people in the future. Don't they need the basic way of understanding people? And why do they need to change their positions? Because only by trying it in person can you deeply realize that you have
Such 'paper talk', it is more effective than what the division commander has said ten thousand times."
She paused and turned around with a smile:
"As for the daring experiment that you are strongly opposed to... let me just say this. Putting aside the issue of reputation, if I am a young man and asked to live with a beggar for a period of time, I dare to go and I can do it.
Come on, are a bunch of young men worse than me?"
"As for why? Because whether they are beggars, gangsters, farmers, craftsmen, businessmen, etc., every class has their own wisdom. You don't have to do it, but you can't understand it. The more you know, the better
The less likely you are to take detours!
Let me give you the simplest example. I came into contact with gangsters in Qinzhou, and I learned that I should not stay in three hotels, a newly opened store, a store that has changed owners, or a prostitute shop. Farmers,
There is a saying, 'Grain should be sparse, wheat should be thick, and cows should lie down in the sorghum fields.' Even in the past few days, I have heard craftsmen say, 'It is better to carry a thousand catties horizontally and ten thousand people vertically,' and so on, and there are many more."
