Farming and reading lady

Chapter 204: Cold Jump

The teachers of the University of Teaching without Classification happily teach their students, and the students are busy studying happily. The grand court meeting in the capital...

"The behavior of Princess Anxi is really unworthy." A minister stepped forward to make a comment.

"Oh, what duties have been lost?" The emperor asked with great interest when it was not Tong Mingyan and Gu Xihao's turn to appear.

“Your Majesty, as a woman, Princess Anxi’s main duty is to take care of her husband and children. Why would she open a college? Isn’t that stealing the jobs of the teachers?” The minister felt that he was in the right.

"Anxi is still young. What kind of husband and child should you raise? Are you sick? Are you not awake yet?" The emperor smiled one second and swore the next.

The minister was stunned. Yes, Princess Anxi is still unmarried. Oh, I made a mistake. However, "It is true that she has taken away the teachers' jobs. Moreover, she has also disrupted the order of the private schools. There have always been unwritten rules for tuition. How can she devote herself for free like this? Are the teachers going to starve?"

Look, I have good reasons.

"Did Anxi eat your food or drink your soup? Or are the teachers all your good children, so that you have to worry so much about them?" The emperor couldn't stop talking.

Gu Xihao was secretly shocked. I wonder when did the emperor learn this poisonous tongue? Could it be that he learned it from the ancestor of the Ming family? Sister, just for the emperor's protective heart, I will sacrifice my life for the cause of Daling.

Ministers: Your Majesty, I feel that Princess Anxi might be your illegitimate child.

The minister who submitted the report: Where am I? What did I say wrong? Why does the emperor keep refuting me? Shouldn’t he listen to the advice and abolish that thing called “teaching without discrimination”?

"Anything else? Go on, I haven't heard enough." The emperor began to act like a ruffian. He sat in an untidy manner and almost crossed his legs. Fortunately, the eunuch on duty stopped him in time.

Minister Shen Ben continued, "Also, how can a school be named 'Teaching without Class'? If it can't even distinguish between classes, what's the point of teaching? Also, it is said that many of the teachers in the 'Teaching without Class' school are not from formal schools, but are just ordinary people. How can such people be teachers? Wouldn't this cause harm for thousands of years and destroy the foundation of our Da Ling?"

He had tolerated that little girl for a long time. Why did they have to work hard for decades to become a mother, but she was suddenly made a county lady? It was so unfair.

Tong Mingyan couldn't help but remind him: "Master Leng, there is no distinction between classes in education. This is what Confucius said. If you want to ask him, what's the point of teaching if he can't even distinguish between classes?"

Tsk, a fool actually mocked his little disciple for not being able to tell the difference. Tsk, if you want to mess with his little disciple, you have to see if he agrees or not.

"Tong Mingyan, you don't even know how many years have passed since Confucius passed away, and you still say you are full of knowledge." As a result, Ren Leng Canben laughed at him instead.

Tong Mingyan: What my young disciple said is absolutely right. There are always some idiots in the world who like to push themselves to the top, thinking that everyone is a stupid ball, but they don’t know that they are an arc.

The Emperor: This is really the minister he selected. What blinded him at that time? After a closer look, oh, he got the position through the backdoor. It's not his fault. However, which clan member pushed him to the position? He needs to see who in the Murong family has eye problems. He has to send a royal doctor to check. Oh, he is such a good king.

Someone kindly reminded him quietly, "Master Leng, Confucius said that there should be no discrimination in education. The name Anxi County Lady gave this name has a profound meaning."

"Oh, I see." Leng Canben thought that she had passed the test: "Then it is true that she chose the teacher randomly."

Gu Xihao stepped forward and explained on behalf of his sister: "The Institute of Teaching Without Classes is not only for the imperial examination, but also for cultivating students' survival skills. Although many of the selected teachers come from the market, they are all people of good moral character and are also top-notch in their professions. They are capable of teaching students a skill."

"What kind of expertise can a person who kills pigs and sheep have?" Leng Canben sneered.

"Butcher Wu has perfected his knife skills. He can cut one inch of meat with 370 cuts without cutting through. Old Man Yang has a secret to raising sheep. If the ewes produce milk without losing fat, the lambs will be born alive. Lord Leng, is it possible to do it?" Gu Xihao gave an example.

"I'm not a butcher or a sheepskin shopper, so how can we be compared?" Leng Canben was furious and felt that he had been violated. He hated all the children in the Gu family.

"I am just making an analogy." The young official smiled and said in a good manner: "Anxi opened an academy not mainly for the imperial examination. She just wants to teach everyone more life skills."

"Humph, so what even if that's the case? From the previous dynasty to the present, there has never been a talk of girls being admitted to school. The Princess of Anxi allows girls to be on an equal footing with boys, which is like a hen crowing at dawn." This was what Leng Canben opposed the most. Why should girls go to school?

"Oh, I know this. Anxi is right. Just because there was no such thing before doesn't mean it can't happen now, or in the future. Aren't rules meant to be broken? Just like you. Others entered the government through the imperial examination, but you entered the court through family connections. There was no such practice in the previous dynasty." The emperor lightly talked about Lord Leng's background, and the next sentence made Lord Leng tremble all over: "Or, I will demote you to your original position and cancel your official position?"

"Your Majesty..." Leng Canben's voice became shrill.

"Don't shout so loudly. I'm still young and can hear you." The emperor pretended to pick his ears and said, "In the future, you should focus on your own duties and stop stepping on others. I allowed Anxi's affairs, and I won't allow you to make irresponsible remarks here."

All of you, you have nothing to do after eating, you are so full, why do you always catch a little girl like Anxi? She has a fairy master, who comes and goes as she pleases, and I want to please her, but you are jumping up and down and trying to harm her, isn't this ruining my reputation? All of you are so ignorant.

The emperor felt very tired: "If you have something to report, please report it. If not, please leave the court."

The ministers were still thinking about it, and the emperor said, "Also, don't keep harassing Anxi. She is just a little girl, what bad intentions can she have? Put away your scheming and focus on the real work."

After saying this, the chief eunuch in attendance was very tactful and immediately shouted "dismiss the court".

Gu Xihao followed Tong Mingyan out. The master and apprentice stayed silent all the way. When they got home, Tong Mingyan snorted coldly, "The Leng family really loves to produce clowns."
