Chapter two hundred and eighty fourth on the inferiority of men and women
Li Shui was a little surprised and asked Wu Jiao: "Do you know why Your Majesty summoned me?"
Wu Jiao said, "This is not clear. Perhaps it was because the adults designated Wu Yue as a model for the country, which led to immigration to the border. Your Majesty thinks this is a great achievement and you need to reward the adults."
Li Shui waved his hand: "How is it possible? What just happened? Perhaps the news had just been sent to the palace. Your Majesty will know so soon?"
Wu Jiao laughed dryly.
Li Shui stretched out: "Let's go, just go into the palace and take a look."
On the way, Wu Jiao suddenly whispered: "Sir, Your Majesty seems to have not asked about alchemy for a long time."
Li Shui nodded: "It's okay. I have said a long time ago that alchemy requires the right time, place, and people. Now I am fighting for the support of the people for the court, planning to expand territory for the Qin Dynasty. I am sending people to look for rare grasses everywhere. These are all preparing for alchemy. Everything is ready in the future, and you can refine the elixir."
Wu Jiao suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
Wu Jiao looked at Li Shui with admiration and thought to himself: The rumors are indeed true. No matter what the banished immortal does, he can be attributed to alchemy. It's really amazing.
Before leaving the Exiled Immortal Tower, Li Shui instructed Wang Hushi: "The storyteller I arranged can be asked to give him a try. Remember, today's Exiled Immortal Tower is only allowed to come in. The price doubles."
Wang Laoshi asked in wonder: "Why is this?"
Li Shui said: "The more you can't hear hunger marketing, the more itchy you feel in your heart, the more you want to come in. You can arrange a few new faces and speculate on tickets outside. In this way, we will make money and we won't be scolded because of the high price."
Wang Laoshi looked at Li Shui with a sudden enlightenment, and felt that he had learned a lot of knowledge again.
After Li Shui gave a few words, he brought Wu Jiao into the palace.
Soon, Li Shui met Ying Zheng.
After the salute, Li Shui was slightly puzzled because Ying Zheng's face was not very good. Not only that, in addition to himself, Zhao Teng was standing next to him.
Li Shui thought to himself: Could it be that Zhao Teng complained? He just sent a Wu Yue man, and Zhao Teng hit the gun? Want to appreciate the scenery of the North?
Li Shui was thinking about it all, and a small eunuch came in to report that Chunyu Yue, Li Si, Li Xin, Wang Wan and others had arrived.
Ying Zheng said lightly: "Call in."
Li Shui had a bad premonition, why did he feel like he was going to hold a conference? Isn’t he going to criticize me today?
After everyone came in, Li Shui looked at Li Xin and whispered: "Brother Li, do you know what's going on?"
Li Xin said weakly: "Just kidding, do you think I have time to inquire?"
Li Shui looked at Li Xin with a sympathy: "So weak? I've told you a long time ago, just do what you can."
Li Xin sighed: "I don't want to, but I can't help it."
Li Shui shook his head and looked at him with contempt, thinking: What can you help but feel like this? Could it be that you will be drugged? Mrs. Li is cruel enough.
Seeing that everyone was here, Ying Zheng said lightly: "Huaiguzi, in the past, you did something wrong, I won't care about you anymore, but recently, your courage is getting bigger and bigger."
Li Shui was a little confused and thought to himself: What am I doing again?
Seeing Li Shui's ignorant look, Ying Zheng pointed at Zhao Teng: "You say."
Zhao Teng cleared his throat and said to Li Shui: "Exiled Immortal, although there are rumors outside that I am your best friend. However, this is not the case. I, Zhao, are honest and honest, and will never favor anyone. I have only colleagues and no accomplices in the court."
Li Shui was a little confused: Just because I forced you to be a friend, Your Majesty will criticize me? Isn't that true?
Fortunately, Zhao Teng finally got to the point. He said very barely: "Today, I told His Majesty some of the inappropriate behaviors of the exiled immortal, so the exiled immortal was invited."
Li Shui asked curiously: "What are my misconduct?"
Wang Wan next to her smiled and thought: The word "典" in Huaiguzi is really vivid.
Zhao Teng sighed and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "This is a patent application record. This record says, you once applied for a patent on behalf of Princess Weiyang, right?"
Li Shui said: "Yes, is there any problem with this?"
Zhao Teng was a little helpless and felt that it was a bit difficult to talk to Li Shui. He explained patiently: "Princess Weiyang is a woman."
Li Shui was even more puzzled: "The Patent Law stipulates that women cannot apply for patents?"
Zhao Teng was a little speechless and thought to himself: Is this still necessary to provide the Patent Law? Shouldn’t this be obvious? How can a woman apply for a patent?
Li Shui looked at Ying Zheng with surprise: "Your Majesty, is it because of this incident that I summoned me?"
Ying Zheng said seriously: "It is not convenient for a woman to show up in public. This matter can be big or small. I have summoned you to listen to the opinions of all the adults in the court and never do this in the future."
Li Shui laughed dryly: "In the fairy world, women can show up in public."
Ying Zheng was a little helpless and just said, "After all, the immortal world has not been built yet."
Li Shui asked: "So in the future, if the world becomes a fairy world, can women show up in public?"
Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't say anything, Li Shui asked again: "Then why can't we show up now and wait until we become the fairy world?"
Li Xin and the others were watching each other and they were sweating for Li Shui. After seeing that Ying Zheng was not angry, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, these people were a little envious of Li Shui: I'm afraid there is only the banished immortal. If you speak like this in front of His Majesty, you will not be punished.
These people knew very well that the reason why Li Shui was fine was not because Ying Zheng was easy-going, but because Li Shui was different from other people.
First of all, he was used to being absurd. In this way, the emperor could understand him to some extent.
Secondly, the banished immortal comes from the fairy world after all, and there are also people who do not understand the customs of the world.
Finally, the exiled immortal was possessed of a unique skill and shouldered the heavy responsibility of refining immortal pills, and the emperor would not easily punish him.
The court officials were thinking randomly, and Ying Zheng suddenly said to Chunyu Yue: "Tell Huai Guzi the truth about it."
Chunyu Yue responded and stood up. Eloquence is his specialty, and today's debate is related to etiquette, so Chunyu Yue felt that he should be able to convince Li Shui.
He said confidently: "The exiled immortal, you must know that since ancient times, men are heaven and women are earth."
Li Shui waved his hand: "Since ancient times? When did we have to? We were all made by Nuwa made of clay. Isn't Nuwa a woman? Dr. Chunyu said this, aren't you afraid of the gods being punished?"
Chunyu Yue didn't know how to answer. After all, there was no problem with Li Shui's words.
However, Chunyu Yue was experienced in many battles and coughed dryly and said, "Nuwa is a god, and we are mortals. How can the two be the same? Since ancient times, women will definitely cause trouble in the world when they show up in public."
Li Shui interrupted Chunyu Yue again: "Lao Zu raised silkworms and made clothes so that we didn't have to surround the animal fur skirt. Isn't she a woman? The wife of the Shang king was good, and he opened up the territory for the Shang king. Isn't she a woman? Zhongli Chun advised King Xuan of Qi, making the chaotic Qi increasingly powerful."
"Which of these women is not for the benefit of the world? Why did Dr. Chunyu say that it is a disaster to the world?"
Chunyu Yue wiped the sweat from his head and racked his brains and said, "The Exiled Immortal did give a few examples of virtuousness. However, compared to women who are in trouble, there are still too few virtuous people."
"For example, Meixi, Daji, Baosi, Xishi, etc...."
Chunyu Yue mentioned several names, and then asked Li Shui: "Are these people bad for their beauty? I believe that the exiled immortal cannot deny it."
Li Shui did not argue with Chunyu Yue about how much role a woman played in the demise of a dynasty played. This kind of debate is difficult to achieve, and a set of fallacies can be drawn from different angles.
So Li Shui took a different approach and asked Chunyu Yue: "Then I would like to ask Dr. Chunyu, since ancient times, there are Taikang who lost his country, Jie of Xia, King Zhou of Shang, King Li of Zhou, King You of Zhou, Duke Yi of Wei..."
Li Shui said dozens of people in a row: "These people have caused turmoil in the country, and they are all men. Does this mean that if a man governs the country, he will cause trouble in the world?"
Chunyu Yue was a little confused and looked at Li Si for help.
Li Si smiled slightly and said, "The exiled immortal, women just don't have the chance to take charge of a country. If they have the chance, they may be even more chaotic than men in power."
Li Shui looked at him curiously: "Since women have never taken charge of a country, how do you know that if they are in power, they will create chaos?"
Li Si had nothing to say.
Li Shui bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, from this point of view, the prejudice of men overestimating women cannot stand scrutiny at all. This is pedantic and unbearable."
