Chapter 247 Concubine 30

The officials who were tainted with power were no longer sleepy or afraid.

Each of them was like the most respected wise ministers in ancient times, and they were about to bang their heads against the pillars to beg His Highness not to be so foolish.

Gu Li glanced at the excited looks of these people and couldn't help yawning.

Boring.

Sure enough, everyone in the world looks the same when their interests are violated. Even those righteous and aloof Confucian scholars in the past have become the most common and disgusting.

Yin Shi was looking down from a high position and saw it more clearly than Gu Li.

He could see the fear in those people's eyes and their displeasure with the change.

Women are supposed to be in the inner house, how can they show up in public like men?

Isn't that unvirtuous?

The smile on Yin Shi's lips became deeper and deeper, but what he liked most was to do things that others did not allow.

"My dear ministers, do you think this is inappropriate?"

Yin Shi slowly spoke when the voices in the court reached their highest point.

The hesitation in his voice made the courtiers even more excited.

"Your Highness, you must not do this!"

"A hen crowing at dawn is a bad omen!" The Confucian scholar with a white beard knelt on the ground, trembling and reciting every word with tears in his eyes: "This is a sign of the country's demise, please think twice."

Gu Li beside him could not help but sneer: "How terrible."

Her voice was lazy, which did not match the passionate court at all, making the old minister look even more sad.

"How can you, a woman, join the army as a man and deceive His Highness without any guilt?"

"If I were you, I would hang out with men every day and crash into this pillar to prove my innocence!"

The nonchalance on Gu Li's lips slowly dissipated after this sentence: "Innocence?"

"If you hang out with men every day, you have to crash into death to prove your innocence, then why don't you die, old man?" Gu Li glanced at the ministers who were also kneeling on the ground, and said sarcastically: "Are they all eunuchs?"

"You!" The old man was so angry that his beard curled up: "I am a man, how can I be the same as you?"

"Man," Gu Li glanced at him contemptuously: "A man hiding under the command of a woman?"

"As a man, where were you when His Highness was in danger?"

"As a man, where were you when the deposed prince usurped the throne?"

"As a man, where were you when the nobles rebelled?"

Gu Li slowly kneaded the fabric of his official uniform and sneered: "I forgot that as a man, you were powerless when His Highness was in danger, endured humiliation when the deposed prince usurped the throne, and were even more vulnerable when the nobles rebelled."

"If all men in the world are like you, what does it matter if women are officials?"

"At least, women will not hide behind others to enjoy safety and then turn the tables."

"Isn't that right, sir?"

"You...you are making excuses!" The old gentleman was so angry at her rapid-fire words that his face turned pale.

"Since ancient times, men and women have had different divisions of labor. Women should take care of housework at home. How can..." "

Since ancient times." Maybe it's because he has been with a group of rough men for too long, Gu Li has also learned to curse.

She looked at the stinky old man coldly: "In ancient times, people still ate raw meat and drank blood, in ancient times, people were still sacrificed to the dead, and in ancient times, people like you who were not from aristocratic families were not allowed to be officials."

"When you were enjoying the court's tribute, you didn't say it was from ancient times, and when you were learning to read, you didn't say it was from ancient times. Now that someone has violated your rights, you say it was from ancient times?"

"Your ancientness is really cheap."

Because she didn't deliberately lower her voice, the clear and soft voice of the Gu Li woman was heard by everyone.

This was also the first time in this huge court that a woman spoke out about the various injustices of the past.

"You..." The old man was so angry at Gu Li that he trembled. After a while, he said, "Your hair is long, but your knowledge is short!"

"Your hair is not short, and your knowledge is even shorter."

After Gu Li finished speaking, he looked up at Yin Shi with a righteous look and said, "Your Highness, please allow me to report."

Yin Shi leaned on the dragon chair, listening to Gu Li's sharp words, the smile on the corner of his lips became more obvious: "Speak."

He wanted to see what Gu Li could say.

Gu Li lowered his eyes and said lightly: "I suspect this beast has ulterior motives and is hindering the development of Da Xia. He is suspected to be a spy sent by the enemy country!"

The man: "!!!"

"You are slandering me!"

"Oh?" Yin Shi changed his posture again: "How do you know?"

Gu Li said lightly: "The previous dynasty was unjust, and nine out of ten houses in the world were empty."

"Since the founding of Da Xia, the biggest worries have been talents and population."

"I checked the files a few days ago, and found that three counties shared the same leader. It can be seen how much Da Xia lacks talents."

"But even in this situation, this old man is still unwilling to let women leave the house, and is unwilling to have more talents in Da Xia!"

"Your Highness, is this his intention?"

Gu Li stopped talking, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Yin Shi with an obvious smile and ridicule in his eyes.

These materials were given to her by Yin Shi.

"You..." The man pointed at Gu Li with a shaking hand and said, "How can a woman who is born dull read?"

"Is it that she can't read, or that you don't let her read?"

Gu Li sneered, "Besides, how can a dull woman give birth to a talent like you?"

She emphasized the word "talent" very tightly, and her voice was also playful and sharp, "Sir, do your parents know that you slandered him as dull?"

"Daxia has always respected filial piety. I don't know how an unfilial person like you can enter the court!"

Gu Li said, while moving his knees to the side and rubbing them, "I disdain to serve in the court with people like you."

"If the court is full of people like you who talk about morality and justice but are full of thieves and prostitutes, I don't want to be an official!"

"You...you..." Maybe it was because she didn't get enough rest last night, or maybe it was because what Gu Li said was too irritating.

The old gentleman fainted before he could even take a breath.

"Your Highness, you see, he is too guilty to even talk to me!"

Gu Li immediately pointed at the guy who fainted on the ground and said seriously, "I think he is lying there reflecting on himself."

The court officials listened to her serious nonsense and unconsciously moved away from her.

This woman, how could she be so sharp-tongued?

More Confucian scholars frowned more and more. It was not in line with the teachings of the saints for a woman to be an official. They would fight this guy to the end today!

"Your Highness!" Another Confucian scholar stood up and looked at Gu Li with disgust.

"Since ancient times, hens crow at dawn..."

"Since ancient times, since ancient times, you sour Confucian scholar, is that what you would say since ancient times!"

Suddenly, the man was lifted up by the neck, and General Zhao looked at him fiercely: "Too much nonsense!"

"What are you going to do!" The Confucian scholar obviously did not expect this to happen.
