Chapter 332 The concept of equality

Luo Zhaoyun's remarks shocked the audience. Women can even stand half of the sky. This is not about breaking the rules and seeking power for women. It almost goes against the ethical principles of the society of men being superior to women.

"How can women enter the court and become officials?" Even great scholars like Niu Hong couldn't help it. After all, Confucianism looked down on women. Although Confucianism emphasizes benevolent politics and a humble gentleman, since Confucius' generation, it has been said that only women and villains are difficult to raise.

Confucianism may have been a positive attitude during the Confucius period, hoping to support the world, solve the situation of separatist rule in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the princes fighting for hegemony. However, the Analects of Confucius was only written by later disciples. Many sentences were written by disciples and imposed on the masters. They were passed down from generation to generation. Confucianism has long been expanded and changed, and many ideas have no longer had anything to do with Confucius.

Since Dong Zhongshu proposed to respect Confucianism alone, Emperor Wu of Han readily agreed, because Confucianism is the controller of thought, and a group of Confucian scholars who are powerless have little destructive power to subvert the regime. They are just easy to use, strengthen the imperial power, give up some of the great righteousness of Confucianism, and impose some moral concepts and knowledge suitable for the ruling of the king. This has also led to the phenomenon that Confucianism is becoming more and more suitable for the feudal dynasty.

Many great scholars present, as well as scholars and scholars such as the Analects of Confucius, the Book of Songs, and the Han Fu, were absurd when they heard Luo Zhaoyun deliberately raised the status of women.

"It's ridiculous. Women are just vassals of men. How can they compare with men?"

"That is, to make achievements, defend territory, govern the country and stability, write books, and preach merits, these are all men's affairs."

Many scholars think this way, although some high-ranking officials love their wife very much, they still don’t really think that men and women are equal, and men are still regarded as heaven and wives are like the earth.

The king is the leader of the minister, the husband is the leader of the wife, the father is the leader of the son, and the three pillars and five virtues have always been deeply rooted in the Han cultural circle. Even if the Hu people entered the Central Plains and attacked the Han culture, these views are still difficult to change and basic cognition.

However, Xue Zhiqing's eyes lit up. She couldn't believe that this young commander would say this, Shi Potian was shocked and even regarded the woman's status as such.

Xiao Yiyi and Ning Muhe looked at each other, and their faces were full of happiness. What else can I ask for when marrying a husband like this?

In this era, how many men can truly treat their women as free people and pamper and care for them?

They have heard too many things that were sent by noble families and wives and concubines to each other. It is indeed their luck to meet a man like Luo Zhaoyun who values ​​women.

After hearing this, Princess Ruyi smiled and her eyebrows were crescent and she chuckled. She liked to see Luo Zhaoyun's handsome appearance on the spot. Whether it is talent or opinion, she could express others. She couldn't help but think about him.

In addition to these women, there were also some women at the scene, or noble daughters and socialites disguised as men, who also had beautiful eyes and were full of dazzling colors.

Qiao Qingyue sighed even more. She was not as good as Xiao Yiyi. She took the lead earlier and got closer to Luo Zhaoyun. Finally, she entrusted the right person to have a good destination.

She felt that she had missed it. She is now twenty-three or four years old, very mature, and has become a big girl. Her popularity is declining. At present, a new group of courtesans are emerging, all of whom are in the 17th and 18th grades, and they have already started to change their ranks.

Qiao Qingyue felt that in a few years, she might be old and she would be sad and leave. What is the future outcome? It is hard to predict. Maybe she will marry into a prince, or go back to Jiangnan and be alone for the rest of her life.

At this time, Luo Zhaoyun continued: "Even the late emperor, as the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, can respect the queen very much and love and favor him; His Majesty now respects Empress Xiao like a guest. Do you think even the emperor did something wrong?"

These nobles, literati officials, and scholars did not dare to refute for a moment, because they involved the emperor, who dared to speak indiscriminately?

Luo Zhaoyun said: "Thinking of women as goods is something that only barbarians in foreign countries such as the Huns and Turks do. How can we look down on women like this in the civilized state of Central Plains and etiquette? Don't forget that you have biological mothers and your own daughters in the future. Do you really think they are useless and as cheap as grass?"

"This--" Many people hesitated and wanted to refute it, but for a moment, they thought of their mother and daughter, and they couldn't say some vicious words.

Xue Zhiqing's eyes lit up at this time, looked at Luo Zhaoyun carefully, chewed his words, aroused a lot of excitement, and asked, "When will this status of a woman be realized?"

"If one day we can promote the real rule of law, and change the concept of reality at the same time, and continue from generation to generation, giving more women freedom and career choices, and encouraging women to be officials, business and study, in the future, this phenomenon will definitely occur, men and women are equal, mutually friendly and mutual respect."

"How is this possible?" Yu Jingzhi sneered and snorted: "It's a complete dream."

"That's right, women will never catch up with men's status."

"Women want to be officials? It's really unreasonable!"

Some people still scolded and even sneered, which is a firm conscientious party.

Some people also have some thoughts and keep silent.

A scholar stood up, his eyes were shining and his eyebrows were a little cold and arrogant, and he said, "What's the use of talking about these ideas of nothingness? Since General Luo is very accomplished in guessing riddles, he doesn't know how to be proficient in pairs. In the lower grade of Liang Wencai, he is usually happy to write pairs and write poems. If he wants to discuss with General Luo, he will not quote difficult sentences from his predecessors. He will make them completely on the spot. When faced with him, he will see who can match each other's pairs. Is it possible to do it?" (To be continued.)
