After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

"Before the Sui Dynasty, imperial officials were recommended and selected, and farmers and merchants had no chance to change their families."

Tang Shuyi looked at Mr. Zhao and said: "But later the Sui Dynasty adopted the imperial examination system, which gave ordinary people the opportunity to leap to the top. Mr. Zhao, your family is the beneficiary of the imperial examination system. Do you think the imperial examination is progressing?"

Mr. Zhao's brows were all knotted. He knew what Tang Shuyi meant, but he still couldn't refute her words, so he said, "It's progress, but it's very different from a woman being an official."

Tang Shuyi looked at him and said with a smile: "What's the difference? People have developed from a tribe to a country, and the country's slave system has developed to the present. This is all progress. Why is it not progress for a woman to be an official? Is it true that women are born to be evil? ? Or is Master Zhao thinking that women will surpass men when they become officials?"

"Nonsense!" An official with gray hair and beard came out. Tang Shuyi knew him, Mr. Niu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

He came forward, looked at Tang Shuyi and said, "For thousands of years, no woman has been an official. It is because women have shallow knowledge, weak will, and only have small profits in their eyes. Women are born weak, how can they be officials?"

Tang Shuyi looked at him and sneered, "Master Niu can say such a thing, but I can only say that you have little knowledge and are a frog in a well. Li Qingzhao, Su Hui, Cai Wenji, Ban Zhao, the achievements of these women, can Master Niu compare with?"

"You have a sharp mouth!"

Tang Shuyi: "If you can't say it, just say that I have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and you, Mr. Niu, are nothing more than that."

"Dingguo Gong!" Niu looked at Xiao Huai angrily and said, "You just look at your wife like... so impolite?"

Xiao Huai looked at him coldly, "Master Niu, you are from the first rank, and Master Tang is the first rank. If you talk to her like this, who doesn't know how to be polite?"

These words made Mr. Niu tremble with anger. At this time, Qi Liangsheng stood up and said, "Whether a woman can be an official or an emperor's teacher depends on her knowledge. If Mr. Tang is very knowledgeable, why can't he be an emperor's teacher?"

"Okay," Mr. Zhao from the cabinet looked at Tang Shuyi and said, "Then I will take the teaching test."

Tang Shuyi: "Please tell me."

"Jin Wu Ping Wu used arbitrariness to conquer, Fu Jian conquered Jin and died because of arbitrariness; Qi Huan took charge of Guan Zhong and became hegemony, Yan Kui took charge of his son and was defeated. The same thing but different results, why?"

As soon as Mr. Zhao asked the question, all the officials present could not help but take a deep breath. This is a strategic question that stumps many students, even if they answer it now, they may not be able to answer it well.

Many people looked at Tang Shuyi and began to gloat over his misfortune. Women should stay at home with their husbands and children, how can they come out to be officials?

Here, Tang Shuyi didn't seem to feel the gazes of the crowd. She lowered her eyes and began to meditate. After a while, she said: "Wu Guo rebelled, and Emperor Wu of Jin planned and directed it alone. He had a proper strategy, judged the situation, and finally quelled the war. This is called centralization rather than arbitrariness." But when Fu Jian attacked Jin, he was self-willed, without considering the situation of the battle, and finally failed, he was arbitrarily..."

Tang Shuyi spoke eloquently for a quarter of an hour before finishing. Li Jingyi, who was sitting on it, was eager to take notes with a pen. Even the officials present had to admit that Tang Shuyi's "policy theory" was wonderful.

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Niu and his ilk have very ugly faces.In their view, Tang Shuyi, as a woman, should not show off even if she is talented.Women should stay at home with their husbands and children.

"What is cultivating the mind?" Master Zhao asked again.

Tang Shuyi looked at him and smiled, "To cultivate the mind, one must first ask the heart, and then cultivate oneself. People will always encounter ups and downs in life, and at this time they will complain and indulge in sadness, but this is the easiest thing. The most important thing to do at this time , is to ask your own heart, why do you want to be like this..."

Standing in front of all the officials, she spoke calmly and calmly about her understanding of cultivating the mind.Even Mr. Zhao and his ilk stubbornly believe that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, but she has to admit that she speaks wonderfully.

In the end, I heard her say: "Those who know themselves are wise, those who win by themselves are brave, those who are self-violent abandon, and those who are self-improving succeed. If you are strong in your heart, you are fearless. Although I, Tang Shuyi, have not yet reached the point of fearlessness, I am an official and an emperor's teacher. I'm not afraid of anything."

She said the last sentence forcefully, while looking at Master Zhao indifferently.Mr. Zhao's eyes dodged a little, he snorted heavily, and said, "Not all women are like you."

Tang Shuyi: "Not all men are as familiar with poetry and books as Mr. Zhao, and can be admitted to the court as officials."

Mr. Zhao had a sullen face and stopped talking. Li Jingyi, who was sitting on top, burst out laughing, "Sir, what do you think of my teacher's knowledge?"

The ministers still couldn't accept a woman as the emperor's teacher for a while, so no one answered the emperor's words for a while.At this time, a voice sounded, "Master Tang is very knowledgeable."

Everyone was speechless when they heard this voice.Ding Guogong, you can't restrain yourself when you go to the capital to spread your fear.

"Master Tang is quick in thinking and eloquent, he can be called a great talent." Qi Liangsheng's voice also rang out.

Xiao Huai turned his head and looked at him indifferently, suddenly felt that Qi Liangsheng seemed to be very different to his wife!

"In this case, my master deserves his name as the emperor's teacher." Li Jingyi's voice was full of joy, and then he said: "If there is nothing wrong, let's leave the court."

He stood up and left, and the ministers saluted and left one after another.Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai walked together, after a while Tang Shubai walked up to them, and Qi Liangsheng followed.

Tang Shubai looked at Tang Shuyi and said: "Father scolded me yesterday, saying that I am not as good as you. The Tang family's glorious lintel is actually relying on his daughter."

Tang Shuyi: "......"

What can she say.

Tang Shubai said again: "You will go home later, the old man is looking forward to your return."

Tang Shuyi patted his arm, "I will try my best to say something nice to you."

Tang Shubai was speechless, then looked at Xiao Huai and said, "Think about it carefully, your life is not easy."

Xiao Huai glanced at him, "I enjoy it."

Tang Shuyi laughed, Tang Shubai sighed, pulled Qi Liangsheng and said, "Let's go, let's go have a drink to relieve our worries."

Tang Shubai pulled the person away, while Xiao Huai stood behind and looked deeply at Qi Liangsheng's back.At this time Tang Shuyi patted him and said, "Let's go!"

Xiao Huai hummed, and the husband and wife returned home together.It didn't take long for Tang Shuyi to be appointed as the emperor's teacher, and the news spread all over the capital.

There are mixed opinions on this matter, and even some women feel that Tang Shuyi is too ostentatious. As a woman, even if she is talented, she should not show her face like this, and she should not be an official in the court.

As for Duke Xiao Huai's reputation as a henpecker, this time he was firmly established.

ps: This ai generates pictures, which is not bad, but I still can't fully understand the meaning.Or maybe there's something wrong with my command.
