Need for a Guard

Yanjing looked at the stinky purple face, feeling very proud, and said earnestly, "Commander Kang has made great contributions to the country. He is Dayan's white jade pillar that holds up the sky and sets up the purple golden beams of the sea. After the court, I will Go check it out for yourself."

As soon as this remark came out, the officials were very curious: Why did the emperor suddenly become enthusiastic about Kang Shanzhen?One must know that Kang Shanzhen the day before yesterday was still the biggest concern of the emperor.

Seeing Yanjing sit back down again, Sanmao said loudly: "Ministers, if you have a book to play, you can retreat from the court without a book."

"The minister has his own book!"

"The minister has his own book!"

Tian Fen and Huo Mei, a scholar of the Imperial College, came out at the same time.

Zheng Zhu, supervisor of the Imperial College, winked his eyes at Shi Yue who was facing him, and then closed his eyes in a godlike manner.

Yan Jing said: "You two lovers, here is a play."

Huo Mei cleared her throat, and said, "Recently, there is an incident that is close to changing the etiquette, which made Xuezi, the Imperial Supervisor, very unhappy. I have a lot of worries and dare not suppress it arbitrarily. I will let the emperor know about it."

Before Yan Jing could speak, Xiao Yan interjected: "Such a thing happened? Who wants to change the etiquette? Such a major matter must not be tolerated."

Yan Jing glanced at Xiao Yan, thinking what kind of oboe are you singing?Who doesn't know that Homer is your dog?Asked: "Scholar Huo, don't pretend to be flustered and make a big fuss over a molehill. Let me hear what you have to say."

Huo Mei talked about the matter of the Gewuyuan, and described the stone tablet erected at the entrance with the words "Industrial Founded the Nation" vividly, then knelt down and said in a mournful voice: "Da Yan governs the country, relying on The benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and Confucianism governing the world cannot establish a country by relying on a bunch of ingenious tricks. If you don’t believe me, please look at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. Which one is not a person who has read poetry and books? Which one is not full of literary talent? If we don't rely on scholars like us to govern, what does it matter to those who are illiterate?"

As soon as this remark came out, a large number of generals were immediately offended.

Shi Yue immediately stood up and said: "Listen to what Master Huo said, we are useless generals who have no literary talents? In the future, the country will be in turmoil. Is it possible that Master Huo Mei will use the pen as a knife and paper as a shield to fight with you?" Will the enemy see the red with a bayonet? Admire, sincerely admire."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Every general was blushing with anger, but after listening to Shi Yue's words, he burst into laughter.

Lei Dong said: "Vice Envoy Shi's words are very true. University scholar Huo Mei wrote a spell with a swipe of his pen, and immediately wiped out the enemy."

Lan Jian interjected: "General Lei is right, I think it's better to withdraw the black-clothed guards who fought against the rebels in Muping, and let University scholar Huo Mei go alone and write a spell, the overall situation will be settled. "

Another burst of laughter!

Huo Mei was immediately squeezed in there, his old face flushed with embarrassment, and when he got nervous, he actually belittled the generals and others, this time he stepped on a hornet's nest. Homer was devastated.

Tian Fen, Xiao Yan, Cheng Ye and the others also stared at Huo Mei fiercely—***, these sour and rotten people are really not doing enough to accomplish anything, but more than failing to do so.

Xiao Yan hurriedly explained to Huo Mei: "Your Majesty, all ministers, listen to me. The words of Huo University are biased. Both civil and military skills, one pen and one sword, are the foundation of governing the country and the way to build a country. As for other Strange skills are just appendages, harmless, and it is absurd to say that the study of things is the foundation of a country."

Shi Yue laughed, and said: "I don't agree with Prime Minister Xiao's words. Wenzhiwugong is the way to govern a country, and all schools of thought have their own reasons. I am a dignified swallow. I can't do without scholars, and I can't do without warriors. No, of course, it would be impossible without Gewu miscellaneous studies. It is the flourishing of literati, warriors, and Gewu miscellaneous people that support the prosperity of Dayan. Therefore, in my opinion, whether it is literati, martial arts, or Gewu Miscellaneous people are the foundation of a country."

"That's a bad word!"

Huo Mei made a mistake just now, and at this moment, anxious to win the game, he yelled: "How can Gewuzaxue be compared with literati? How can it be the foundation of a country? I think it's just a cloud, it doesn't matter. "

Shi Yue retorted: "Dare to ask the great scholar Huo Mei, is farming considered the study of things?"

Homer was at a loss for words.

Shi Yue went a step further and said, "Major Huomei, can clothes and accessories be regarded as the study of things?"

Huo Mei took a step back in fright, and the burning cloud that had just receded on his face surfaced again.

Shi Yue shouted loudly: "Dare to ask the great scholar Huo Mei, is building a house considered the study of things?"

boom!

Huo Mei covered her ears in fright, fearing Shi Yue's coldness in her heart, she couldn't stand on her feet, and sat on the ground in a panic, dumbfounded and speechless.

As soon as these words came out, the brains of Manchu Wenwu were buzzing, and there were mixed feelings in his heart.

Zhu Chao and other well-educated people immediately understood the deep meaning of Shi Yue's words.

Shi Yue said loudly: "Scholar Huo Mei, you have no clothes to wear, no food to eat, and no place to live. Even if you talk like a knife, what's the use of it? Prime Minister Xiao, Minister Zeng, ministers, Mr. Huo Mei can't answer , whoever of you can answer, you might as well speak up in front of the court.”

Of course no one can answer this question.

There was silence in the hall.

Yan Jing was proud of herself: Hehe... Look, my master is very powerful. The master came out, one was worth ten, and said in a loud voice: "Shi Fushi's words are pearls, thought-provoking, 360 lines, which are the foundation of Dayan's prosperity, and the study of things. It is by no means an exaggeration to build a country through industry.”

Xiao Yan hastily winked at Huo Mei, Huo Mei gave up on this breakthrough point, and retreated to the next best thing: "Your Majesty, after your teaching, I have understood the importance of Gewuxue, but Gewuxue is important. , has formed its own system in the folk, why should we concentrate on running schools? The way of folk masters leading apprentices has already taken shape, why should we set up colleges? I really don’t understand.”

Xiao Yan replied angrily: "Scholar Huo Mei just eats radish and doesn't worry about it. Others eat, drink, gamble, and run around, so it's none of your business? The establishment of Gewuyuan has something to do with you?"

"Who says it's irrelevant?"

Huo Mei got down, and said arrogantly: "How much money does it cost to set up Gewuyuan? Is this a waste of money and people? I did a rough calculation, and it takes about tens of millions of taels to invest. How can such a huge sum of money be spent?" Can you squander at will? Do you think that the tax money in the treasury is blown by a strong wind? What's more, the treasury is already empty..."

"stop!"

The old rascal Bai Mochou also got mad, and immediately pointed at Huo Mei's nose and yelled: "I said you are a bachelor? I think you are a college shit! Do you have any brains? Why? Your brain was kicked by a donkey." ?”

Huo Mei was so angry that he yelled, "Bai Yushi, even though you are a veteran of the three dynasties, you can't talk nonsense when you are in the dynasties. You are telling me, what did I say wrong? Didn't it cost tens of millions of taels of silver to build the Gewu Academy? "

Shi Yue chuckled: "Although tens of millions of silver were spent on the establishment of Gewuyuan, all the money needed was raised by Princess Chu Yu in her own name, and she didn't use a penny of the treasury, and she didn't commit any fraud, why? University Maester Homer, what does such money do to you?"

Homer was like a balloon that had been pricked by a needle, puffing out of air, and then deflated after a while.
