Chapter 438 There is a monster in the fairyland(1/2)
Early in the morning, eunuchs from the palace came to Shang Jun's courtyard and urged Li Shui to go to court.
Li Shui was so sleepy that he asked: "It's the day to go to court again? Why do I feel like there was a meeting in court not long ago?"
The eunuch said: "Everyone in the court has already arrived, so Your Majesty thinks it is better to hold an additional court meeting."
Li Shui sighed: "These people are really not tired."
He slowly put on his clothes and followed the young eunuch into the palace.
On the way, Li Shui met Li Xin.
After Li Xin saw Li Shui, he said helplessly: "Brother Huai, I got up very early for you."
Li Shui yawned and said, "What does it have to do with me?"
Li Xin said: "The sudden convening of a court meeting probably has something to do with Brother Huai. Perhaps Chunyu Yue has sued you again."
Li Shui pinched his temples: "Chun Yuyue, this guy, doesn't know how to be grateful. If it weren't for me, your majesty would have burned poems and books to clarify the law. I spent so much effort to help him continue Confucianism, he
It’s okay to be ungrateful, but I complained over and over again.”
Li Xin looked at Li Shui with a puzzled look on his face and thought: Brother Huai is not awake yet? What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word of it?
After a while, the palace arrived.
The two of them walked into the palace and walked all the way to the Assembly Hall.
When the two of them entered, they found that all the court ministers had arrived. These people were silent, their eyes falling on Li Shui and Li Xin.
Li Shui coughed lightly and saluted Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui helplessly: "Huai Guzi, do you know why there is a court meeting today?"
Li Shui answered honestly: "Is it possible that Dr. Chunyu sued me again?"
Chunyu Yue sneered, as if he was too lazy to talk to Li Shui.
Ying Zheng said: "Not only Dr. Chunyu, but also the court officials here have reported you to me."
Li Shui spread his hands and said helplessly: "What did I do wrong again?"
This innocent expression made the courtier extremely angry.
One of the courtiers stood up and said loudly: "What kind of endorsements have the banished immortals been doing recently? They have chosen a few men with oily hair and pink faces to stand in front of the shop. They are like prostitutes among women, soliciting customers. It is simply immoral and unethical.
Be patient.”
Another courtier said: "With the help of the banishment of immortals, the women and daughters of Xianyang City flocked to Liu Ji and the others. For these few people, they spent money like water, which was simply immoral and all kinds of unbearable behavior.
The eyes cannot bear to see, the ears cannot bear to hear, and the mouth cannot bear to speak.”
Another courtier said: "The act of banishing an immortal is clearly an attempt to seduce good women. Their hearts are to be feared and their hearts to be punished. I suggest that your majesty kill Liu Ji and his men immediately, and issue a law to strictly prohibit this practice."
Li Shui sighed: "It turns out that your lords are suing me in front of His Majesty for this matter."
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui: "What? Did they make the wrong accusation?"
Li Shui coughed dryly: "I feel that these adults are not suing me for any immorality. They are clearly suing me because the female relatives in the family are buying barley cakes in a big way. They are angry and angry, so they are suing me."
The courtiers all blushed, and they were really angry now.
At this time, Chun Yuyue stood up.
He said quietly: "I don't have a wife, and I don't have a daughter. But I have come to sue you, how do you explain it?"
Li Shui was calm and asked Chunyu Yue: "Dr. Chunyu, for what reason are you suing me?"
Chunyu Yue said: "The reasons have been mentioned by the gentlemen just now. Your behavior is offensive to morals and is clearly meant to seduce women."
"Before, you encouraged women to go out of the house and even participate in various industries, and I felt it was inappropriate. Now you let some men provoke those women. If this continues, where is the etiquette? Where is the virtue?"
"Once the rituals and music collapse, the ministers can kill the king and the sons can disobey their fathers. The world will inevitably be in chaos and the country will be ruined."
Li Shui sighed: "Dr. Chunyu, he is truly sincere and cares about the country and the people."
Chunyu Yue sneered.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui, clearly waiting for his explanation.
Li Shui bowed his hand to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I want to sue Chunyu Yue and slander all the female relatives in the world."
Chunyu Yue was so angry that he almost couldn't speak. He pointed at Li Shui and said in a hoarse voice: "In the political hall, in front of His Majesty, you wantonly slandered me. In front of everyone, you blatantly lied. You must tell me today.
It’s clear, when did I slander all the women in the world? I don’t understand what I said, I died together with you, blood splattered on the spot.”
Li Shui: "..."
It seemed that the old man was really angry.
He laughed dryly and said to Chun Yuyue: "Master Meng is the best at eloquence. He is powerful and eloquent. He is calm and unhurried, which is fascinating. Since the doctor is a descendant of Confucianism, why is he so anxious in arguing?"
Chunyu Yue took a deep breath: "That's because Master Meng has never met a shameless person like you. Otherwise, Master Meng would not only be eloquent, but he might also have fists."
Li Shuigan laughed and said, "Since you want to make it clear to me, then I'll make it clear to you."
"I dare to ask you, why did General Li Xin not come to sue me?"
Everyone was stunned. They all thought: Isn’t this nonsense? You two are in the same group, how could you rebel?
The courtiers gave this reason in a variety of ways.
Li Shui shook his head, then turned to ask Li Xin: "Brother Li, why did you come to sue me? Aren't you afraid that Liu Ji and the others will abduct your wife?"
Li Xin rolled his eyes: "I'm not afraid. My wife is very loyal to me and will never do such a thing."
Li Shui clapped his hands: "This is the crux of the matter. You are suing me, Huaiguzi, not because I did something wrong, nor because your wife or daughter did something wrong. It's because you did something wrong."
"
"You don't trust the women in your family. You always think that if they meet a handsome man, they will be kidnapped. Therefore, you are afraid. You have no confidence in your appearance, demeanor, and status."
"So you can't wait to lock the women at home and cut off all opportunities for them to contact outsiders. Only in this way can you feel safe."
"But General Li is different. General Li is confident. He knows that he is good enough. After his wife sees him, she will never look down on other men again. Therefore, Mrs. Li can't go anywhere
, will not be hindered.”
These courtiers blew their beards angrily and stared: You have no self-confidence, are you speaking human language?
Li Shui turned to Chunyu Yue again: "As for Dr. Chunyu, he has no female relatives in his house. But he has more people to worry about. What he worries about is all the women in the world."
"In his mind, women are all frivolous, love the new and hate the old, and are unruly. Therefore, Dr. Chunyu wants all women to stay at home honestly and not allow them to see any men.
.Especially handsome men, who must not appear in front of them, lest they take their minds away."
"Let me ask, if this is not slander, then what is slander?"
Chunyu Yue gritted his teeth and said, "I don't mean that."
Li Shui crossed his arms and said, "What does Dr. Chunyu mean? Why are women forbidden to appear in public? Why do you think it is embarrassing for women to buy a few cakes?"
Chunyu Yue was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "I just think that since a woman is already married, she should not chat with other men. It is too immoral. As for women who have not left the court, their minds are not strong and they are easily influenced.
It’s deception, so it’s better to have less contact with those people.”
Li Shui said: "It turns out that this is the truth. It turns out that Dr. Chunyu is doing it for the good of women."
Chunyu Yue finally found a foothold for his theory, so he nodded firmly.
Li Shui said: "So, isn't it immoral for men to visit women's houses? Should underage men also be kept at home to avoid being deceived?"
Chunyu Yue quickly explained: "How can men and women be the same? Men..."
Li Shui interrupted him: "Look, he is going to slander women again."
Chunyu Yue simply stopped talking.
The courtiers immediately whispered among themselves, trying to find some reasons to refute Li Shui.
But Li Shui folded his arms and remained motionless, allowing the courtiers to discuss.
These people brainstormed and finally came up with ingenious reasons, but they were always dismissed by Li Shui in just a few words.
Li Xin was amazed and said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, how did you practice to this point?"
Li Shui said: "In our fairy world, there is a kind of goblin called a goblin. He does nothing but argue every day. In order to deal with the goblin, people in the fairy world are training their debating skills intentionally or unintentionally. As time goes by, they will naturally be able to speak.
Very eloquent."
Li Xin snorted and said with emotion: "I always thought that after becoming an immortal, I would be at ease and everything would go smoothly. I didn't expect that in the immortal world, there are such strange creatures and they have to go through so many ups and downs.
"
An hour later, all the courtiers were defeated.
Li Shui looked around with a proud look on his face: "Who else is there?"
No one answered.
Li Shui sighed: "There is nothing I can say."
The courtiers cried to Ying Zheng one after another: "Your Majesty, Huai Guzi is the best at reasoning with strong arguments, and he is so shameless that we can't argue with him. However, the right and wrong are clear at a glance. Let Liu Ji and others seduce women.
Man, how can this happen?"
