Ning Xin was stunned for a long time, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Yan Qi solemnly: "Brother Yan, why did you say this? Please...brother Yan teach me."
Yan Qi's smile revealed an unfathomable amusement: "Don't you think it's a little weird that Cui Helin is so enthusiastic and invites four old people to dinner?"
Ning Xin said: "Of course I feel weird, but I can't figure out why it's weird."
Yan Qi pointed out: "Who is Cui Helin?"
Ning Xin said: "He is from Prime Minister Yang."
"What is the relationship between Mr. Guo and Prime Minister Yang?"
"The situation is tense."
"Then Cui Helin actually did the opposite and invited Cui Helin to dinner with great fanfare. Isn't he afraid of Prime Minister Yang's anger? What does this mean?"
Ning Xin blurted out: "It means that Cui Helin invited the four elders to dinner and got the permission of Prime Minister Yang."
Yan Qi added: "Prime Minister Yang instructed Cui Helin to invite the elders to dinner. Is it for the sake of reconciliation?"
Ning Xin shook his head: "Absolutely impossible!"
Yan Qi asked again: "What is Prime Minister Yang's purpose?"
Ning Xin frowned: "He must have evil intentions, but I can't guess what the specific evil intentions are."
Yan Qi asked again: "Whose person is Jie Sanjia?"
Ning Xin said: "People from Prime Minister Yang."
Yan Qi asked again: "What day is today?"
Ning Xin said: "It's the day when the Confucianism examination starts."
Yan Qidao: "Cui Helin didn't invite the elder Guo to dinner earlier, and he didn't invite the elder Guo to dinner later. But he invited the elder Guo to dinner on the first day of the erudite Hong Confucian examination. And then thinking that Xie Sanjia and Cui Helin are both the lackeys of Prime Minister Yang, What can you think of."
Ning Xin slapped the table: "I understand, Cui Helin invited the four old people to dinner today, it must be to seek for Xie Sanjia to succeed. There must be something fishy about this meal, there must be something fishy."
Yan Qi chuckled: "Ning Fu Cheng, you are also a know-it-all. I don't need to tell you the rest."
Ning Xin bowed to Yan Qi: "I have learned a lesson. I have learned a lesson. Brother Yan, you have peeled off the cocoons and seen the reality clearly. Your eyes are as bright as a torch and your heart is as wise as a god. Even if I study for a hundred years, I will never be able to match you."
Yan Qi felt very comfortable with Ning Xin's flattery, and waved her hand: "Okay, okay, these words of flattery are enough, go and get to work."
Ning Xin stood up and said loudly: "I have to bring Mr. Guo back immediately to prevent them from being tricked by Cui Helin."
puff!
When Yan Qi heard this, he vomited out all the tea he had just drank.
Ning Xin quickly found a handkerchief and handed it to Yan Qi.
"Brother Yan, what's wrong with you? Why are you still choking?"
Yan Qi rolled her eyes angrily: "You asked me why I was choking. Isn't it because of you? You, you, you are such a mess...forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you."
Ning Xin smiled sarcastically: "What did I do wrong?"
"Wrong, very wrong."
Yan Qi asked: "What did you want to do just now?"
Ning Xin said: "I'm going to bring the four old people back to prevent them from falling into Cui Helin's scheme."
Yan Qi sighed: "It's the opposite, it's completely the opposite. You're calling Yuanmu Qiuyu."
Ning Xin looked modest: "Brother Yan, please give me some advice."
Yan Qidao: "What do we want now? To step on Cui Helin's head and replace him. This requires that we must catch Cui Helin's crimes. Cui Helin manipulated the four elders of the country. This is What? This is the handle. As long as you catch Cui Helin's handle, this guy will be a piece of meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by you."
"But now you have to take Guo Lao back to stop Cui Helin from doing evil. In that case, Cui Helin will have no leverage. Why should you replace him?"
After listening to Yan Qi's words, Ning Xin suddenly realized.
"Brother Yan, I understand, I understand."
Ning Xin thought carefully: "Brother Yan, what I want to do now is not to stop the old man, but to secretly investigate Cui Helin's dirty tricks, and then collect evidence and strike back, right?"
Yan Qi nodded: "That's right."
Ning Xin: "The plan is perfect, but I'm afraid that the four elders will be in danger."
Yan Qi chuckled: "You are overthinking, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as unfounded worry."
Ning Xin asked worriedly: "Brother Yan, why did you say this?"
Yan Qidao: "What are the identities of the four elders of the country? Grandmaster of Dahua, patriarch of culture, pillars of the country. Elder Guo was once the prince's master, Chen Qiao was the founder of the palace, Tang Bufan was the master of calligraphy and painting, Zhao Hong played chess with the emperor ."
"Although these four people are not high-ranking officials with real power, their social influence is far-reaching. To attack such people who have no real power but huge social influence would be to shoot themselves in the foot. Once something happens, If it happens, the consequences will be disastrous."
"So, Cui Helin will only play some small tricks on the four elders of the country when he invites them to a banquet this time. Small tricks will not have a big impact on them. Mr. Ning just keeps it in his heart."
Ning Xin nodded frequently after listening to Yan Qi's explanation.
Listening to Yan Qi's words, I felt like I had a sudden enlightenment.
Very reasonable.
But why couldn't I think of it?
This is equivalent to playing chess. Seeing others play chess very skillfully, you can understand it by looking at it and you can understand it by listening.
However, when it was his turn to play chess, his mind was filled with mush and he couldn't understand anything.
They have the same head, one nose and two eyes, why is there such a big difference?
Originally, he was very worried about the safety of the four elders, but looking at it now, his worries were indeed unfounded.
Ning Xin stood up with a determined look on his face: "Brother Yan, after listening to your advice, I no longer have any worries. I will go to monitor the situation now and make sure to catch Cui Helin's fox tail."
Yan Qi laughed: "I wish you success!"
Ning Xin said word for word: "Brother Yan, please believe me, I will definitely replace you."
After saying that, he hurried out.
An hour later, Yan Qi arrived at the Star Reaching Tower.
The Star-Zhaing Tower was bustling with activity. Thousands of talented people gathered here, whispering and excited.
When you come here, it doesn’t matter whether you are talented or not. When young people are together, you are inexplicably happy.
There are also many talented people and beautiful women who simply come here to find partners.
"May I ask how old you are, young lady?"
"May I ask what your surname is?"
"Miss, you are so beautiful."
"Young master, you are very handsome."
"Why don't you go sit in the tea house for a while?"
"Master, please go first."
…
Well, it's like a big blind date scene.
Many young ladies and gentlemen entered the teahouse in twos and threes.
What else are we talking about?
At first, we talked about the good weather, but later it turned into romance.
Of course, the vast majority of talented people and beautiful women came all the way to pursue their pursuit of erudition and Confucianism.
After all, many talented young men were unlucky and failed to pass the imperial examinations, so they wanted to try their luck in Bo Xue Hong Confucianism.
Dahua also stipulates that women cannot participate in the imperial examination.
However, women can take the exams for erudition and Confucianism.
After passing the erudite and Confucian examination, women can also become female officials.
