Bingxue is as smart as Xu Zhi, and he has already seen through the twists and turns in Lu Chengfeng's heart.

He pulled Lu Chengfeng's sleeve, brought the distance between the two closer, lowered his voice, but smiled meaningfully, and asked:

"Your Highness, are you wondering why I, He Xuzhi, am able to escape unscathed? As the Minister of Rites, I am in charge of the etiquette and regulation of the world, including scientific examinations. Why can I still fight side by side with you unharmed at this moment?"

Lu Chengfeng saw that this person spoke straightforwardly, as if he had a straightforward temperament, which suited me very well, so he stopped beating around the bush and admitted straightforwardly:

"Exactly. If that's the case, why is it the Bachelor of Xu University who is being criticized and suspended?"

"He is the one who asked the question, so he naturally wants to avoid suspicion. Furthermore, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. You and I should not make any assumptions here. We should just complete the task entrusted to you and me by His Majesty."

He Xuzhi's hand holding Lu Chengfeng's Guangxiu now gently pressed his shoulder, and an imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes.

The high-spirited look in his smiling eyes revealed the confident demeanor of a proud man. When he opened his mouth with a smile, a small tiger tooth slightly protruded, which further highlighted his complacency, and there was still a trace of hidden secrets.

Smart, cunning, and infectious.

Although this man has reached the rank of Minister of Rites, his actual age seems to be in his early thirties. He is considered one of the most promising young talents in the Dajing Dynasty.

Some people even say that He Xuzhi and Jiang Chengzi are the sacred bird of the Suzaku and the auspicious beast of Xuanwu in the Dajing Kingdom. Their culture and martial arts complement each other, and they can govern the country with their culture and secure it with their martial arts.

Therefore, when he was chosen to be the examiner for the second Spring Science Examination, there was nothing wrong with him in terms of talent, ability, official position, and qualifications.

It stands to reason that He Xuzhi, the reopened science examination room, should be quite able to hold the place, but Lu Chengfeng always felt unclear in his heart, which made him feel that being alone with He Xuzhi tonight had added so much

Unspeakably embarrassing.

He Xuzhi also obviously felt that the atmosphere in Xinan Pavilion was a little strange. He laughed and smoothed things over for himself, saying:

"As for me, from before the winter solstice last year until yesterday, I have been busy compiling the "Yonghe Grand Ceremony" for His Majesty. The Spring Examination on February 2 this year has been handed over to our minister Shi Anyuan. I don't know how much your Highness thinks of me.

Is this answer satisfactory?"

"That's it!"

Lu Chengfeng stroked his raised right eyebrow a little embarrassed, bowed to He Xuzhi, and said with a smile:

"Sorry, sorry, I was too worried about Lu Chengfeng."

"It's a small thing. I, He Xuzhi, have never cared about what others think of me or say about me. As long as I have the sun, moon, mountains and rivers in my heart, why do I need to preach to the people of the world? Let's get back to the topic. Your Highness, our task tonight is still very difficult!

Why not start now!"

He Xuzhi waved his hand and said with a smile, still looking like the unruly, proud and talented man in the legend.

It was the first time for Lu Chengfeng to deal with He Xuzhi. After talking about it like this, he felt that this legendary character was actually a bit cute.

This temperament is right! I like it!

But, I don’t know where to start with this arduous task?

Lu Chengfeng scratched the back of his head, raised his eyebrows, shook his head slightly, felt a little embarrassed, and asked in a confused voice:

"Do we need to write five eloquent exam questions in one night? We also have to cover the Great Jingzheng.

Military, civilian, official and other aspects! I think this is much more difficult than the Spring Examination! I would rather be an ordinary test taker!"

"Hahahaha! Your Highness, are you serious about what you said? How many people are envious of you and can't even envy you? Your Highness actually wants to experience the feeling of thousands of troops squeezing a single-plank bridge? If you want to experience life, come to our etiquette department tomorrow.

Go look through the files of scientific examinations over the years, and I will give you a good explanation."

After He Xuzhi heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of strong tea, shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile.

When Lu Chengfeng heard "Thousands of troops and horses crowding the single-plank bridge", he felt as if he was in a college entrance examination in the midsummer of that year. Thinking about it, he felt heartbroken and liver-burning, tired and tired.

So he waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"No, no, no, no! I'd better stay here obediently!"

"Young Highness, there is no need to panic. Since the matter is urgent, we only need to draw up five short test questions. We don't have to write a long paragraph like the previous spring test questions. Just the questions need to be written in a long paragraph. Your Majesty said

Yes, he will supervise the exam in person tomorrow. The exam questions will be announced orally on the spot and the exam papers will not be printed."

He Xuzhi's smart and cunning eyebrows were shining with brilliance, and he comforted him confidently and calmly.

"That's great, Qingqing! You will announce it orally instead of printing test papers, which saves time and labor, and also prevents the questions from being leaked again. Then tonight, you and I will be the only ones to draft the five questions.

I and the three emperors know about it. There is no way to spread it, and the confidentiality effect is excellent!"

Lu Chengfeng was relieved and happily took the photo and praised it.

He Xuzhi nodded slightly towards Lu Chengfeng, expressed his agreement, and then continued:

"That is to say, for the five questions we have re-formulated tonight, we don't need to ask the candidates to do reading comprehension and summarize the meaning of the questions. They only need to have the core ideas and simply complete the questions without going into details."

"In this sense, when I look at the test questions of the scientific examinations over the years, I only need to retain the central idea of ​​​​one or two sentences in the first sentence and have the meaning of opening the topic. In the final analysis, the long explanations at the end are all nonsense.

.Let’s return to our original nature tonight!”

Lu Chengfeng suddenly became interested and commented frankly and directly.

After hearing this, He Xuzhi smiled knowingly, tilted his head and suggested:

"What a squandering flower that is gradually becoming more charming! Your Highness's words are so true! Why not, as the first topic of discussion, take this topic of returning to nature?"

"I think it is possible! Let's take the test for the first policy question. The randomness is gradually fascinating. Let's see how well the candidates are able to see through the phenomena to see the essence?"

Lu Chengfeng patted his thigh and expressed deep agreement.

"good."

He Xuzhi silently took notes and wrote them down.

"The second question is still about strategy. Why don't you ask Brother Xu to give a question? Can I call you Brother Xu?"

Lu Chengfeng modestly made a "please" gesture to He Xuzhi and suggested.

"I recently compiled the "Yonghe Dadian" and found that more and more common people are engaged in business. From top to bottom in the country, people's hearts are floating, and everyone is seeking profit and abandoning the basic to pursue the weak. The interests of businessmen are also beneficial in the short term.

In the long run, it is completely opposite to the foundation of our country, Dajing! If things go on like this, we will face the dilemma of cultural decline and brain drain, and our country, Dajing, will not be a country! Therefore, I propose that the second question is the same as the previous scientific examination.

Same, you still have to take the exam on business-related topics.”

He Xuzhi's speech was impassioned, and his words instilled and extended the idea of ​​focusing on agriculture and suppressing business.

However, road transport

Feng’s idea was completely different from his!

As a modern person who has traveled through the commercial society of the 21st century, his era has already been prosperous in commerce, economy, and science and technology. Then he heard that there were people who unswervingly implemented those stubborn and old-fashioned farming-based business-based principles in the feudal period.

The thought of the end is very contradictory from the bottom of my heart.

I couldn't help but retort, stood up, and argued:

"No, no, I, Lu Chengfeng, don't think so. The gradual rise of commerce and its gradual development are one of the signs that a society, a country, and a nation are moving toward a more advanced civilization. Only the commodity economy can liberate productivity from farmland.

Come out, create more wealth opportunities, and develop a more colorful and splendid civilization. To be honest, I, Lu Chengfeng, want to establish my own economic and financial system in Dajing."

"Your Highness, you are a relative of the emperor! You are an unparalleled poetic talent that the emperor values ​​​​and is loved by the people! How can you have such thoughts!"

He Xuzhi was dumbfounded and spoke with high morale.

After listening to Lu Chengfeng's words, he was actually vaguely touched in his heart. Although he did not fully understand some of Lu Chengfeng's strange and uncommon words, they sounded quite reasonable.

However, as an unswerving supporter of feudal society, a man in power who reads books from sages and eats royal food, he is unwilling to accept it from the bottom of his heart.

He has been instilled with the deep-rooted thought by the surrounding environment since he was a child, and if he is good at learning, he will become an official. If it is true as Lu Chengfeng said, wouldn't it mean that smart and talented people have stopped working in politics and have become speculative businessmen?

Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!

He Xuzhi's cheeks were bulging with anger. He picked up a bench at random, turned his back to Lu Chengfeng, and sat at another table.

"Lord He, there is no need to be angry. If you think about it, Beiduan Country was still a desolate barbarian land fifty or hundreds of years earlier. In my words, it was called a slave regime. It was after they implemented the spread of learning from the South to the North.

, it became increasingly powerful until it became our formidable enemy. The slave society was upgraded to a feudal society. This is the inevitability brought about by the wheel of history rolling forward."

Lu Chengfeng talked to himself, trying to persuade He Xuzhi with a simple metaphor using the theory he had learned for a long time.

"What slave? What feudalism? I don't understand!"

He Xuzhi slapped the table, turned around, and there was a trace of confusion and doubt between his narrowed and tightened eyebrows.

"It's a long story. I'll discuss it with you slowly when I get the chance. Now, is this question going to come up or not?"

Lu Chengfeng raised his chin and said slowly.

"Come on! Gentlemen are harmonious but different! Since you and I have different political opinions, there is no need to say more. The second question is just three words, about business. Your Highness, what do you think?"

He Xuzhi was too lazy to argue with this young man of fifteen or sixteen years old on this issue.

The second question has just come up. As the examiner, he must grasp the rhythm and not waste time on unnecessary arguments. This is the serious matter.

"I think it works!"

Lu Chengfeng said with a hearty smile.

"That's it!"

He Xuzhi made a hasty decision with a stroke of his pen.

In addition, the three questions also set the tone with a very concise and lively rhythm.
Chapter completed!
