Someone moved his lips and wanted to speak.
Yan Shiyue smiled leisurely, not even giving him a chance to speak: "Some people think this is insulting, haha, the person who said this probably hasn't tasted the hardships of life. In the words of the people, it's easy to talk without any pain in the waist? He should be asked to experience some hardships. I believe that since you can stand in the court, you must be knowledgeable people, you shouldn't say such naive words, right?"
The official just now was choked back by her.
He didn't dare to say it, for he was afraid that the next moment, the emperor would order him to experience the "hardships of life."
Yan Shiyue continued, "Knowledge is the understanding of worldly affairs, and writing is the understanding of human nature. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. You should know that the students of the Imperial Academy are not as lucky as me, with the support of my father, who can enjoy wealth and glory. Not only the students of the Imperial Academy, but also their fathers, and even their fathers' fathers, don't they also need to use their knowledge and experience to gain a future?"
Everyone: “…”
It hurts.
She began to perform a double act in a serious manner: "For example, the emperor asked, how much land the Star Tower occupies, and how many days did it take to build?"
She changed her position and put on an inviolable look: "Your Majesty, I don't understand this. I am noble and well-educated. I am a talented person. Scholars are farmers, merchants and artisans, and workers are below scholars. That's why I won't talk to a carpenter! It's insulting!"
She changed her position again and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the Star Tower is 38 feet wide and 63 feet high. It will take about 15 days to build."
...
...
Everyone: “…”
Is this even possible??!
Everyone looked at Emperor Ming Yan quietly.
Emperor Ming Yan was so absorbed in watching the show that he even wanted to cooperate with it.
The advantage of being a superior is that when she speaks, generally no one dares to interrupt her, and there is no such thing as arguing with someone and getting red in the face.
And when she finished speaking, most of the people around her were speechless.
These people are good at quoting classics and their sentences are ambiguous, but she doesn't say a word of nonsense. She is more direct than a simple one and she also speaks from her own experience.
Yan Shirui was originally acting with Emperor Ming Yan, and was also preparing to act with Yan Shiyue...
Unexpectedly, he was ready from the moment she came in, but he didn't even have a chance to speak? ? His sister didn't seem to see him at all? Didn't he deserve a name in this story?
In fact, Yan Shiyue saw him at first, but she was trying to attract fire, so her eyes certainly wouldn't stay on him.
Including her own father, Yan Chengyuan, standing in such a conspicuous position, couldn't she just pretend not to see him?
Then Yan Shiyue seemed to remember something and asked, "Oh, by the way, I have heard a saying that goes like this... Those who can build build, and those who can rejoice rejoice. Does your Excellency know?"
She asked directly to the old man standing at the front.
That was the Right Prime Minister Xu Mingxiu, who was well-read and could speak freely:
Zishuo asked Mozi, "Which is the most important thing in the pursuit of righteousness?" Mozi said, "It is like building a wall. Those who can build build, those who can fill the soil fill the soil, and those who can rejoice rejoice. Only then the wall is completed. It is the same in the pursuit of righteousness. Those who can debate and discuss debate, those who can tell stories tell stories, and those who can engage in activities engage in activities. Only then the righteous cause is accomplished."
"Your Excellency is right!" Yan Shiyue said seriously, "So, only by showing our strengths and working together can Great Yan prosper. There are already enough talented people in Great Yan who can write articles, so there should be a few people who can 'build walls'."
She sighed, took a few steps forward, and said in closing: "Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity." She bowed her hands, her manner solemn and serious: "Let me encourage you all."
The Four Lines of Hengqu were written by Zhang Zai, a great Confucian scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that it can be regarded as one of the most famous quatrains through the ages. At least in this era dominated by Confucianism, it is enough to awaken the eyes.
Yan Shiyue shocked them, then left leisurely.
Not only the officials were shocked by her, even Emperor Ming Yan was shocked by her.
He always knew that his daughter was reliable in serious matters, but this was too reliable!
At that moment, a thought even flashed through his mind: if she were a man, even this country...
As soon as Yan Shiyue stepped out, he immediately called a familiar eunuch and asked him to pour him a cup of tea, then served some snacks and waited for Emperor Ming Yan to finish his court session before having dinner together.
She just got up and hasn't even had breakfast yet! It's tiring to talk so much!
In fact, she was not surprised that she could convince them.
You know, in modern times, even those crazy schools for quitting Internet addiction have people sending their children there, which shows how much parents care about their children's success. Moreover, in this era, human rights are not important. As long as they feel it is useful, they will cry and beg for their children to participate. What's the harm?
So it's easy to convince them.
As for why she works so hard... probably because, once she is in a crowded occasion like this, she can't help but start to attract fans crazily. Although she is indeed uneducated, she is definitely the most handsome person in the entire court!
Emperor Ming Yan left the court very quickly.
Yan Shiyue was standing at the door waiting for him. When she saw him coming, she quickly said to Gu Jiuxing, "Set the table!"
Emperor Ming Yan patted his daughter's head with emotion and said, "She is just a little short, otherwise, she would be really imposing."
"What's wrong with being short?" Yan Shiyue didn't care: "No one can hold their heads up in front of me."
Emperor Ming Yan was not angry, he laughed and said: "You have a mouth...really..."
At this time, the official who was eating in the corridor was also saying to Yan Shirui: "Your sister is really good at talking. She can even make the dead look alive."
"You're too kind," Yan Shirui said calmly, "Maybe it's because you understand the truth, so your words seem sharp."
The mood of all the officials at this moment was similar to "Although what she said makes sense, I still don't like it when a young lady comes to the court." In Yan Shiyue's words, they were like roosters whose territory had been invaded.
So when Yan Shirui opened her mouth, everyone around her started to criticize her: "It's not proper for a young lady to show up in public."
"Things are different now. Back then, your sister was engaged in business to make a living in the countryside. Now, it is time for your father and mother to discipline her."
"That's right. Embroidering wedding clothes at home and enjoying wealth and luxury are what a young lady should do."
Yan Shirui had been eating quietly, waiting for these people to finish talking, and then he smiled slowly and said, "Actually, my sister also wants to enjoy a comfortable life, but things are beyond our control... For example, if there were no alcohol flamethrower cabinets, it might not be so easy to take down the Rock Pass. For example, who else can make this disinfectant powder except my sister? If my sister goes to enjoy a comfortable life, I'm afraid the lives of the victims will be in danger."
He shook his head and sighed: "After all, a seven-foot-tall man like me is too useless. That's why the young lady at home has to suffer so much. I am really ashamed." He stood up and bowed: "Excuse me."
Everyone: “…”
Come back here! Who are you scolding? It's hard to live like this if we can't win the argument.
Over there, Yan Shiyue quickly drank a bowl of porridge and ate two small buns before finally recovering: "I'm starving to death, I'm about to faint from hunger..."
She looked at Emperor Mingyan, and suddenly her eyes fixed: "Aye... why do I feel like something is wrong?"
