Yan Qi blinked and gently touched An Qing's smooth face: "Being an official is not what I want, but who made me love the house and the bird?"
"Brother Qi...you treat Qing'er so well."
An Qing smiled, like the spring breeze blowing open the peach blossoms, which were gorgeous and colorful. She snuggled into Yan Qi's arms and arched her body coquettishly: "Brother Qi, do you know who is the examiner?"
Yan Qi shook his head.
An Qing smiled: "I am the examiner."
"Qing'er?"
"Is it surprising?"
An Qing tied a strand of her straight long hair: "Originally, the four ring masters are all master-level figures, and the examiner is even more superior. Both the ring master and the examiner are appointed by the emperor. With my qualifications, there is no such thing as I am qualified to serve as the examiner. However, the emperor appointed me to be the examiner, so I had no choice but to do it."
Yan Qidao: "Who said that my Qing'er is not qualified to be the examiner? You are the most talented woman in Dahua and the first dean of Gewuyuan. Nowadays, Gewuyuan is so weak that even Miaoyu Study Room has been suppressed by Gewuyuan. , if you are not qualified to be the examiner, who can be qualified?"
An Qing smiled: "What Brother Qi said makes sense."
Yan Qi thought for a while: "Of course, the emperor appointed Qing'er to be the examiner. In addition to considering Qing'er's impeccable strength, it was also a gimmick. It seems that the emperor also has some concerns about me and the fight between the top three. , I’m very interested. This old emperor is quite a gangster, and it’s obvious that he did it on purpose.”
An Qing said: "The emperor is too playful."
Yan Qi squinted his eyes: "The emperor may not be playing for fun, he is investigating some things. If you don't believe it, look at the arrangement of the four major champions. It will definitely be very eye-catching. Let's wait and see."
…
In a few days, the location and specific address of Erxue Hongruke were all determined.
Hangzhou, Zhaixing Tower.
The four major champions.
The chess king Zhao Hong, the math genius Chen Qiao, the calligrapher and painter Tang Bufan, the literary giant from Guoping.
As soon as this list came out, talented people and beauties from all walks of life in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, great Confucians, heroes, and fledgling talents who were interested in taking the erudite and Confucian examinations were all shocked.
In particular, Jinling Hongru, as well as the talented and beautiful people in Gewuyuan and Miaoyu Study House, had heated discussions and set off a craze for erudition.
"Have you heard that the chess king Zhao Hong has become the champion? He is the number one chess king in Dahua and has a record of seventeen consecutive victories. Who can win against him?"
"Chen Qiao, the genius of arithmetic, is also extremely powerful. Legend has it that all the various organs and ingenious designs in the palace were created by him. He even formulated many diplomatic intelligences and deciphered many foreign spies. Password, this person is a royal official of the imperial court, unusual."
"Tang Bufan, a master of calligraphy and painting, is over sixty years old. He is very good. We have studied his artistic achievements all our lives, but we can't even compare to their superficial achievements."
"It's great to be a great scholar in the literary world. He is a bachelor of the cabinet and once served as the prince's master."
…
This list is too strong.
The six Exploitation Hongruke that have been held were not as powerful as this one.
In the next few days, the identity of the examiner was also announced.
An Qing is the chief examiner of Erxuehong Confucianism.
There are both praise and criticism for An Qing's appointment as the chief examiner of Erxuehong Confucianism.
Some people think she is qualified, while others think she is too junior.
However, this was decreed by the Emperor and no one can change it.
Next, the news came out that everyone no longer had any objections to An Qing's appointment as examiner, but instead had special expectations.
"Did you hear that? The emperor arranged for An Qing to be the examiner. It was actually for testing. This time, there will definitely be big news."
"I've heard about it too. This time, An Qing is taking the exam. The ultimate goal is to get through and recruit a bride. Whoever can pass the four major competitions and pass An Qing's exam can become An Qing's guest."
"Haha, such a good thing can happen? Miss An Qing is talented, she is the most talented woman in Dahua, and her family is so good. She is also one of the top five beauties in the capital. If such a beauty were to find out, wouldn't it mean that her life span would be shortened by twenty years? Are you happy with it?"
"Don't think about good things. Jie Jieyuan must have taken the exam. Brother, as long as Jie Jieyuan takes action, you and I will have no chance."
"Are you kidding Jie Jieyuan? When meeting Yan Qi, Jie Jieyuan also has to kneel down. A few days ago, in Suzhou, wasn't Jie Jieyuan bullied by Yan Qi? Hehe, it's not right to say bullying. It should be said: A severe beating! Yes, a severe beating."
…
Fire cannot be contained in paper.
The gossip between An Qing, Yan Qi and Jie Sanjia was very hot.
After the news was announced, Yan Qi was very calm.
Yan Qi, An Qing, and Leng Youxue were enjoying the scenery in the back garden.
Leng Youxue was very disdainful: "Oh, all the erudition and Confucianism are all deceptive tricks."
An Qing asked: "How did the learned scholar deceive others?"
Leng Youxue pouted her red lips: "There are four exams, chess, mathematics, six arts, and literature. If you can play chess, can you govern the country? Can mathematics govern the country? Can calligraphy and painting govern the country? Can literature govern the country? I think the emperor is also crazy. , these things have no purpose, they are just tricks.”
Yan Qi burst out laughing when he heard this.
Leng Youxue said to Yan Qixi: "Why are you laughing? Could it be that what I said is wrong?"
Yan Qidao: "That's right, that's also wrong."
Leng Youxue was unconvinced: "What do you mean, right or wrong? Is it right or not? Are you playing tricks with me again?"
"No tricks."
"Then you give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise, I will play swordsman."
"Xiaoxue, you'd better stop being a bitch. I can't stand your bitch look."
"roll!"
"Get out of here!"
"No, if you come back to me, you must explain the significance of the erudite Hongru Ke exam?"
Yan Qi could only explain as Leng Youxue's sword was held on his neck.
Every time Leng Youxue acts mean, he has to accept his fate.
Yan Qi explained: "Whether it is chess, numeracy, six arts, or literature, if taken alone, they are all representatives of losing one's ambition by playing with things. Xiaoxue, you are right, these are indeed useless for governing the country. But, the point is... "
Leng Youxue was unconvinced: "But what?"
Yan Qidao: "If these four items are combined, it will be of great benefit to governing the country."
Leng Youxue slapped the table: "I don't understand, please explain to me."
Yan Qidao: "Let me ask you, what does superb chess skills mean?"
Leng Youxue said: "He has strong foresight, outstanding skills, and strong reasoning ability."
Yan Qi asked again: "What does it mean if you are good at math?"
Leng Youxue said: "Doing well in math homework shows that your logical thinking is super strong and your understanding is superb."
"Excellent in the six arts, what does it mean?"
"It shows that you are good at abstract thinking, have strong imagination, and have strong communication skills."
"What does a literary dean mean?"
"It shows that the literary talent is extraordinary, the language is exquisite, the ancients are knowledgeable about the present, and history can be used as a mirror."
Yan Qi chuckled: "Here comes the next question. You say, a person with strong foresight, outstanding skills, strong reasoning ability, super logical thinking, superb understanding, good abstract thinking, strong imagination, strong communication skills, and literary talent Can a person who is extraordinary, speaks exquisitely, is knowledgeable about the past and learns from history, become an outstanding official?”
When Leng Youxue heard this, her beautiful eyes widened and she was immediately stunned.
