Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

At the dinner table, Dong Hao was like a machine gun, his mouth never stopping.

"Fan Tiexue, the people don't need a war god, they need peace, do you understand?"

"It's not that I, Dong Hao, can't beat you, but it's pointless for us to fight over that rocky mountain, Qipan Mountain. It will only cause many good men to die, do you understand?"

Fan Tiexue said coldly, "If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. What's the point of saying so much?"

Dong Hao remained calm and continued, "The more fiercely you fight, the more civilians die, and the more detrimental it is to the country's development. Do you understand?"

"If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. What's the point of saying so much?"

"As a manager, you should think about the country's development. Fighting for such a tiny bit of territory has disrupted trade between our two countries for half a year, resulting in huge losses. Do you understand?"

"If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. What's the point of saying so much?"

Dong Hao was speechless. Fan Tiexue kept using the same phrase to criticize him, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why.

I'm doing this for the people's sake, not because I can't beat you.

Dong Hao turned his gaze to Zheng Qian: "Good brother, judging from your appearance, you are a dragon among men, a wise and shrewd person. Tell me, is it worth it for two countries to go to war over a godforsaken mountain?"

Zheng Qian's face darkened: "You little bean sprout, my name is Zheng Qian. If you keep calling me 'big brother,' I'm going to beat you up."

"Zheng, Zheng Qian?"

Dong Hao stared at Zheng Qian in disbelief, "Holy crap, so you're Zheng Qian."

After speaking, Dong Hao looked at the three women, and finally pointed at Mo Li and asked, "Teacher Mo Li?"

Mo Li smiled and nodded, not only politely but also very generously.

Dong Hao looked at Zheng Qian carefully and said seriously, "He is indeed very handsome. It's a pity that Lu Yan stole your beauty and separated you from Teacher Mo Li."

"Zheng Qian, I support you in loving Teacher Mo Li..."

"You bean sprout, if you're talking nonsense, get out of here and don't sit with us." Zheng Qian's face darkened even more. Was Dong Hao here to stir up trouble?

Mo Li smiled, as if Dong Hao wasn't talking about her. She showed no reaction, neither angry nor happy.

Dong Hao pursed his lips: "Fine, don't talk about it then. Let's talk about today's exam. I knew the last question was about that madman, Wen Xianren, who cursed the emperor. He's just dissatisfied with our Dong family."

"Women have no strength, what else can they do besides being good wives and mothers? That madman Wen Xianren is really a god, he actually said that the status of women needs to be improved, and he even traveled to fifty countries to call on everyone to pay attention to women and cherish women."

"Zheng Qian, do you think Wen Xianren is crazy? Women are women, what's the point of raising their status? Women will never be as good as men, don't you agree?"

He didn't know if Wen Xianren was crazy, but he strongly agreed with the proposal to improve the status of women.

Zheng Qian did not answer directly, but asked in return, "Was your mother the Empress, the mother of the nation?"

"Of course, otherwise how could I become the crown prince?"

"Between her and the butcher at the market, who has a higher social status?"

Without hesitation, Dong Hao said, "There is no comparison. My mother is the Empress, the mother of the nation, and is of unparalleled nobility. A butcher is just a commoner. This is the difference between heaven and earth. How can they be compared?"

Zheng Qian said calmly, "According to your logic, women are never as good as men, so what makes you say that the empress is more noble than a commoner?"

"My mother was the Empress, the mother of the nation."

"She is a woman."

"Butchers are born into a lower social class; in the Crescent Moon Kingdom, they are merely eighth-rank commoners."

"He is a man."

"There is no comparison between an empress and a butcher; their status is determined at birth."

"Women will never be as good as men."

Dong Hao was dumbfounded and shouted, "Zheng Qian, why are you talking back to me? You can play with anyone except Xiao Cui, I'll pay. If you really can't, you can play with Xiao Cui too."

Behind Dong Hao, more than a dozen examinees stood up abruptly, some even revealing murderous intent, ready to kill Zheng Qian at any moment.

He not only criticized the crown prince, but also insulted their empress.

Dong Hao's voice instantly attracted the attention of the three hundred examinees in the passage, who all looked at them curiously.

Behind Dong Hao, a young man stood up and pointed at Zheng Qian, shouting.

"Insulting my Queen of the Crescent Moon Kingdom makes you our enemy. I, Wang Congqian, will fight you to the death."

Three hundred examinees also gathered around, pointing and commenting on Zheng Qian.

"How dare you insult the Queen of the Crescent Moon Kingdom! Don't you know that the Crescent Moon Kingdom is a warlike nation, ranking among the top three in power among the fifty kingdoms?"

"They were arguing about male superiority and female inferiority, and Zheng Qian actually used the Empress as a metaphor, which is too much."

"Since ancient times, men have been superior to women. What's there to say? Women are just not as good as men."

Dong Hao seemed heartless and pushed the person who was speaking back.

"I'm chatting with Zheng Qian. What are you guys doing? Go back and have a proper meal."

After saying that, Dong Hao looked at Zheng Qian and said very sincerely, "Zheng Qian, it has always been like this since ancient times. Men are superior to women, there's nothing to say about it."

One examinee scoffed, "The legendary Zheng Qian, I thought he was so great, actually thinking about elevating the status of women? Is he crazy?"

The other candidates immediately chimed in, "Yes, bearing heavy burdens and enduring nine layers of lightning tribulations, the dean takes a liking to them, yet he elevates the status of women; what a bizarre situation."

"Women should support their husbands and raise their children, doing lowly, dirty, and tiring work."

Mo Li's eyes held a cold glint. She knew who was sneering: a student who had graduated from the academy two years prior, and a relative of a minor official.

"What's wrong with women? You're men, can you beat me?"

Fan Tielan jumped up and shouted, "Everyone from Guangxiang Kingdom, shut up! This tomboy is the daughter of a great general; they can't afford to offend her!" But there were many students from other countries who scoffed.

“In our country, women must wear a face mask when they go out, otherwise it is a capital offense.”

"Reading is meant to advance our thinking, not to confine us to the past. Your mothers are women, but do you think they are of a lower or more inferior status than you?"

"Exactly, I feel ashamed to be associated with you. You even talk about male superiority and female inferiority. You've wasted your time studying the classics."

The candidates split into two factions, neither willing to yield.

Zheng Qian stood on the high platform, dressed in plain clothes, with a dignified bearing. Facing the throng of examinees, his voice, though not loud, was resounding and clear, like thunder echoing through the sky.

"We were born and raised here, how can we allow prejudice and ignorance to bind our souls? People say that women are inferior to men, this is an age-old fallacy that must be refuted!"

He surveyed his surroundings, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, and continued, “All things in heaven and earth are born of yin and yang. The difference between men and women is not a matter of strength or weakness, but rather the way of nature. The gentleness of women nourishes all things like spring water; the resilience of women can also lift heavy weights and stand tall in the world, no less than men. Why do people insist on judging heroes by gender and regarding women as subordinate? This is a tragedy of the great way and a disease of the human heart!”

None of the three hundred examinees spoke; they all listened quietly to Zheng Qian's remarks.

In their eyes, there was admiration and passion.

At this point, Zheng Qian's voice grew even more impassioned. He waved his sleeves as if to dispel all injustice in the world: "We should advocate for gender equality, not only in words but also in actions. Let women learn literature and martial arts, participate in national affairs, work together for development, stand shoulder to shoulder with men, and create a harmonious and prosperous world. In this way, there will be no more boundaries between heaven and earth, people's hearts will turn towards goodness, and social harmony will be within reach!"

These words were like a boulder thrown into a tranquil lake, creating ripples all around.

Some were astonished, some were puzzled, but most were those whose hearts had been suppressed for a long time, who felt an unprecedented warmth and hope at this moment.

They began to re-examine themselves and the world, as if a power was quietly awakening within them.

What is a scholar? It is someone with forward-thinking ideas who guides social development and takes it upon themselves to use knowledge to change bad social habits.

Zheng Qian's passionate remarks were like a spark, igniting the flame of the pursuit of equality and freedom in people's hearts.

clap clap clap...

Fan Tielan was very excited and clapped continuously.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Li clapped, and everyone clapped, the applause reaching the sky and into the deep palace.
