After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 355 We have different opinions

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the second assessment began.

Jiang Hai announced the rules: "Everyone, the format of this assessment is a debate.

"The 84 contestants who passed the first literary test were divided into groups of seven and formed a free team.

“Then the twelve teams will draw lots and compete in pairs for debate.

“After the debate, the emperor, the left and right prime ministers, the six ministers, and a total of nine judges came to vote.

"The group with more votes will be deemed to have passed the second assessment. Do you have any questions?"

No one raised any questions, so it was time to form a free team.

Cui Min: "There are seven people in a group. There are exactly seven of us. This assessment seems to be tailor-made for us."

Shen Qi (the vest of the Taoist Qi Sheng): "Luck is also a kind of strength."

Ji Heng: "I wonder what the debate topic will be later?"

Hua Rui: "Left and right are inseparable from the content of literature and history."

Shen Qi: "How about I do the math?"

Ji Heng: "Isn't this bad?"

Lin Xi: "Teacher Ji, don't be deceived by him. How can he do such a trivial matter as a debate? Let's discuss tactics and how to fight later."

After the team formation was over, it was time to draw lots.

Lin Xi drew No. 7 in this group, and was the opponent of No. 8.

She glanced at team No. 8, and Cui She, the unparalleled young master of the Cui family, was among them.

Compared with a few months ago, Mr. Cui was obviously much more haggard, and his eyes were dull.

There are also bags under the eyes.

It can be seen that Xiaoya's love seed has been successful, and Cui She has suffered a lot from love in the past few months.

Each debate lasts for half an hour.

The first six groups finished their debate in the morning, three groups passed and three groups were eliminated.

The remaining six groups will have to wait until the afternoon to play.

From noon (12 o'clock) to noon (2 o'clock) is the time for eating + resting.

Lin Xi has the habit of taking a nap. Only by sleeping more can she grow taller.

I was sleeping soundly when I heard a "hissing" sound.

When she opened her eyes, a snake crawled in through the window and was spitting out snake bites at her.

The snake was earthy brown in color with a series of black spots on its belly. It was clearly a highly venomous five-step snake.

After being bitten by it, the poison will kill you within five steps.

This is Qionglin Garden, where the emperor and eight of the most important ministers of the empire are all here. How could such a highly venomous snake sneak in?

Moreover, Wubu Snake's living area is not in the capital at all.

She couldn't think of any other reason besides man-made reasons.

Lin Xi's mental power covered him, and he saw a little servant squatting in the flowers, looking furtively this way.

She ignored the little chambermaid and took the five-step snake over and tied it into a knot.

Xiaoqing, who was wrapped around her wrist, smelled the food, woke up, and crawled towards the five-step snake, trying to eat it.

Lin Xi tapped it on the head, "I'll keep this five-step snake for use, but I can't eat it for the time being."

Xiao Qing turned back in disappointment.

Lin Xi fed it poison.

Xiaoqing ate it happily.

The more poisonous something is, the more beautiful it is. This sentence is perfect for Xiao Qing.Xiao Qing has been completely refined into a Gu by her, with an exquisite and compact figure. It is wrapped around her wrist, crystal clear as jade, like a high-quality jasper bracelet, delicate and charming.

When others saw it, they couldn't recognize it as a living creature.

It feeds on poison every day. The more poisonous it is, the more it loves it.

Its own poison is more powerful than the five-step snake, reaching the point where it can seal its throat at the sight of blood.

But its blood is the best antidote in the world.

When the time came, Lin Xi, Hua Rui and the others met and went to the Wenhua Hall.

She glanced at Cui She with her mental energy. As expected, Cui She and another middle-aged man with stern eyes and high cheekbones both looked surprised when they saw her fine.

It really was their fault.

Lin Xi stood still.

An ethereal chime sounded, and the debate began.

The two sides of the debate came to the open space in the center of the hall, where there were two rows of cushions.

The two parties stood behind the cushions, bowed their hands to the person opposite, and then knelt down on the cushions together.

Behind the debaters from both sides, there were many officials watching.

The previous emperor pulled out a small scroll from a sealed box. The scroll unfolded and the topic of the debate appeared.

Jiang Hai recited it in public: "During Qi Gaozong's time, Gaozong Yinzhi favored his concubine Wu, which encouraged Concubine Wu's ambition, and Wu wanted to seize the position of queen.

“In the seventh year of Yongning, a major event occurred that shocked both the government and the public.

“Concubine Wu’s under-month-old daughter was strangled by Queen Wang, and Queen Wang was deprived of her position as queen and relegated to the cold palace.

“Subsequently, Concubine Wu was named queen.

"There are rumors in the harem that it is actually Concubine Wu who killed her own daughter in order to seize the position of queen and framed the queen.

"Later generations had different opinions on this. Some said that the Queen was jealous of Concubine Wu and so she killed the little princess. Some said that Concubine Wu killed her daughter to frame the Queen with her own hands in order to become the queen.

"So, what is the historical truth? Who killed the little princess? The Queen, or Concubine Wu?"

As soon as Jiang Hai finished speaking, debater No. 1 on the opposite side couldn't wait to say: "Of course it's Wu!"

Then he made a series of comments about how vicious-hearted the Wu family was, how he would do whatever it took to get the upper hand, and how he ignored human relations.

His words were so intense and his emotions were filled with resentment. Those who didn't know better thought he had a deep grudge against the Wu family in history.

The last sentence: "Women have the most poisonous hearts! It is an indisputable fact that the Wu family kills women."

Many people in the audience nodded in agreement.

Lin Xi sneered, "We have different opinions."

Opponent's debater No. 2: "What? Do you think it was the Queen who killed the little princess?"

"Historical data records that Queen Wang was born in the Wang family of Xianyang. She was a role model for noble girls from aristocratic families. She was dignified, virtuous, and of noble character. She was reluctant to trample an ant to death since she was a child. How could she kill an innocent baby?
"Only a woman like Wu who comes from a lower level and has great ambitions will do whatever it takes to climb up the ladder for the sake of status."

When saying this, No. 2 glanced at Lin Xi with contempt.

Obviously, he was scolding not only Wu, but also Lin Xi.

Lin Xi moved her fingers, wanting to crush the heads of these idiots.

But this was a debate, and in full view of the public, she couldn't be impulsive.

"Our opinion is that the murderer who killed the little princess was neither the Queen Wang Yuluan nor the biological mother Wu Baolu, but Qi Gaozong Yinzhi!"

The opponent's No. 3 debater categorically denied: "Impossible! Qi Gaozong is the biological father of the little princess. How could he kill his own daughter?"

Hua Rui, our No. 2 debater: “Don’t you think your views are contradictory?
"Yin Zhi is the biological father, so you think it is impossible for him to kill the little princess. Then why do you think that Wu Baolu, the biological mother, can kill her own daughter?"

Opponent's debater No. 3: "You are just messing around! Our debater just said that in order to become the queen, Wu did not hesitate to kill her own daughter to frame Queen Wang.

"And what about Qi Gaozong? As an emperor, what reason does he have to kill his daughter?"
