This is the second time that Jiang Liu has been invited into the palace, but this time it was not during the imperial court, but several ministers found the emperor in private and wanted the emperor to ask Jiang Liu to close the so-called women's college.
In fact, if it was Jiang Liu alone, these pedantic old ministers would have come to the door long ago, but who made him do not know what means to use, and actually moved the county master of Qiling to sit in town, who did not know that the county master was young Temper, relying on the favor of the late emperor, is stubborn and cunning, and lawless, if it offends her, it will be easy to be beaten.
Even if the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he still respects this aunt. There are rumors that when King Linjiang was dying, he asked his confidants to hand over some personal connections to the young master of Qinling County, and now he inherits the throne of Linjiang. That little prince is simply not worthy of his name.
Therefore, due to the special status of the Duke of Qinling in the clan, no one dared to rashly intimidate Jiang Liu, and they could only ask the emperor to call the shots.
To be honest, Emperor Wen of Jin himself could not accept the establishment of a women's school, but he was very curious as to what method Jiang Liu would use to persuade him this time.
Speaking of which, he has also been cold to the champion for four years, and it is time to transfer him out of the Hanlin Academy.
With such thoughts in mind, Emperor Wen of Jin followed the wishes of those old officials and found Jiang Liu to allow them to argue with each other.
"Women's lack of talent is virtue, and women's schools are really a joke in the world."
Lu Guang took a step forward. He glanced at Jiang Liu from the corner of his eye. When he saw his face, he was not flustered, but he was still smiling. Mouth-controlled panic.
"As a woman, one should obey the three obediences and four virtues. The so-called three obediences are obedience to the father before marriage, obedience to the husband after marriage, and obedience to the son when the husband dies. That is, when a woman is not married, she obeys her father's teaching, and after she is married, she takes care of her husband and helps her husband's family. Loose leaves, filial piety to the parents-in-law and elders, after the death of the husband, raising and educating the children, and the four virtues refer to the virtues of women, the words of women, the appearance of women, and the merits of women. The most important thing for women is virtue, and only women with beautiful virtues can stand upright; The second is women's language, which does not require the same profound knowledge as men, but only needs to be well-mannered; then there is the appearance of women, that is, the appearance is dignified, not frivolous and casual; the last is work, that is, the way of running the family, the rules are the husband and the child, diligence and thrift Stay home."
Lu Guang said solemnly, the people standing beside him listened to Lu Guang's words, nodded from time to time, and agreed.
"If the Fuliu Academy run by Mr. Jiang and his wife taught women's three obedience and four virtues, not only would I not stop it, but on the contrary, I would strongly agree, but what did Mr. Jiang teach? Etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. , Shooting, Royal, arithmetic, and female red, where is this teaching still a good woman who keeps her duty."
Among these courses, except for ritual, music, arithmetic, and female red, which are all courses that a woman should study, the others are beyond the requirements of today's society for women, especially the two courses of archery and imperialism. If a woman learns horseback archery , is that still a woman
Lu Guangzhen said eloquently, he wanted to see how Jiang Liu could refute him this time.
"I heard that Master Lu has a beloved grandson, who is eight years old this year. I dare to ask Master Lu whether this beloved grandson was brought up by your eldest daughter-in-law?"
Jiang Liu was not afraid at all, and asked Lu Guang with a smile.
The eldest grandson of the Lu family is a well-known prodigy in the capital. It is rumored that if he opened his mouth in August, he could memorize the Three Character Classics at the age of two, compose poems at the age of six, and write articles at the age of seven. The miracle of six yuan may be this young master Lu.
Hearing Jiang Liu mentioning his beloved grandson, Lu Guang's expression relaxed a lot.
He stroked his beard, never thinking that this was a big hole that Jiang Liu dug for him, and replied casually: "Of course not, my grandson will be brought up by me."
Not only that, he also hired a famous teacher for this grandson, expecting him to shoulder the heavy burden of the Lu family's future.
"Why doesn't Master Lu let the eldest daughter-in-law teach you this beloved grandson?"
Jiang Liu then asked.
"Hmph, how can a good man be better than a woman's hand?"
Lu Guang didn't think much and replied, women have a narrow vision, even if he has read a few books, he can't afford to teach him the heavy burden of Lu's grandson, children raised by women, pampered and unable to bear hardships, he is stupid, Only then will his eldest daughter-in-law teach his grandson.
"Tsk tsk."
Jiang Liu shook his head: "Lord Lu just said that a woman's husband should obey her son after her husband's death, and she should educate her children after her husband's death. She also said that a woman's four virtues are to support her husband and teach her children, and to be diligent and thrifty. These two rules say that a good woman is a good woman. If you have to shoulder the burden of educating your children, Master Lu looks down on your eldest daughter-in-law so much, but your eldest daughter-in-law has no virtue and talent, and is an example of a bad woman."
He chose Lu Guang's eldest son and daughter-in-law from thousands of thousands of years. She was the direct daughter of the Xiao family in Jinling. If Jiang Liu's words were spread out today, I'm afraid Lu Guang would offend his in-laws.
"You are talking nonsense!"
Lu Guang's brows glared, and he knew that this kid was uneasy and kind.
"Your Majesty, others may think that it is absurd for me to set up this girls' school. I implore your Majesty and all the ministers to think deeply. Ordinary people, unlike Master Lu, can hire famous teachers for their children and grandchildren. For the children of these families, they are the people who have the most contact with them. , is their mother, for them, their enlightenment teacher is also their mother, there is a common saying among the people, I am afraid that Your Majesty and the adults will not like it, but I still have to say this."
Jiang Liu made a bow: "As a folk saying goes, father counsels one, mother counsels the nest, although this is vulgar, it can also see some truth, a woman, if she has good character and outstanding talent, she will To a large extent, the child taught by her will also be a person who is shameless and reasonable. On the contrary, if a woman is vulgar and unreasonable, the child she teaches will only be hers to a large extent. It's just a copy."
"My minister opened a school for women to encourage women to study. It seems to be deviant, but it is actually for the long-term development of my Jin Dynasty. If more and more women can learn the six arts and the way of life like men, the foundation of life, if their If their knowledge can be as broad as that of a man, then the children they educate will definitely be better. Naturally, there will be no such thing as the words in Da Lu's mouth that children should not grow up in the hands of women."
After listening to Jiang Liu's words, Emperor Wen of Jin couldn't help but think deeply.
"Bullshit!"
The blue veins on Lu Guang's forehead burst out, "How can a woman be compared with a man?"
It is enough for a woman to have children for her husband's family, be filial to her in-laws, and serve a good husband.
"Lord Lu, your highness is still there. If you know that you despise her mother like this, you will be very sad to come to Mrs. Lu."
Jiang Liu sneered. At first, he said that it was unfilial to his biological father by sending his widowed mother to remarry. Now it seems that he, the censor who despised his mother, is not much better.
"you you you-"
Lu Guang felt that his chest was about to explode. This clever and rambunctious villain, he was really crazy, so he aimed at the other party again.
It's just that Jiang Liu's questioning is indeed punishing. Could it be that Lu Guang can directly admit that his mother has no virtue and is not worthy of raising children and grandchildren
Obviously Lu Guang is not Jiang Liu's opponent, but he is already the most articulate among all the old officials present. Even if he is defeated, who else can fight against Jiang Liu.
At this time, Lu Guang didn't care about the opinions of his colleagues anymore. He only had one thought in his mind. No matter what Jiang Liu did in the future, he didn't want to worry about it.
Anyway, according to the experience of the two times, even if he wanted to control it, he couldn't control it.
*****
The conversation that took place in front of the imperial family quickly spread, as did Jiang Liu's remarks that the mother is strong and the child is strong, including the sentence that the father is cowardly and the mother is cowardly. It seems vulgar, but it is actually quite If it makes sense, it has also become a common saying among the people, and it is often mentioned.
After the debate, the Fuliu Academy was still open, and the outside world had a general understanding of the emperor's mind. I'm afraid the emperor decided to condone Jiang Liu's deviated practice.
Gradually, young ladies from officials and eunuchs began to enter Fuliu Academy. After the debate, it seemed that the vast majority of people accepted the existence of this academy.
