Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 260 Do you have any opinions?

"Canonization, there is injustice here."

When everyone was excited, a middle-aged man suddenly stood up and asked, "Is there an age limit for the Spring Official of the Six Ministers of the Holy Palace?"

"Except for the Spring Official, the other five of the six officials in the Holy Palace are all over thirty years old."

A middle-aged man also stood up and said.

At this time, everyone's eyes fell on the middle-aged man, which seemed to make some sense, and then their eyes fell on Feng Qingyan.

Feng Qingyan looked at the two middle-aged men who stood out, and asked everyone, "Who do you want to compete with in etiquette?"

"Of course it's Helian Yangzhi."

The young talent said.

Feng Qingyan nodded, then looked at the two middle-aged men and said, "Who did you guys want to compete with in etiquette just now?"

The two middle-aged men were stunned for a moment.

Just now, everyone wanted to compete with Helian Shan in etiquette, but...

"We want to compare etiquette with Helian Yangzhi because Helian Yangzhi is the Spring Official of the Holy Palace." One of the middle-aged men said, "We don't compare etiquette with Helian Yangzhi because he is Helian Yangzhi."

"Since there is no age limit for the Six Lords of the Holy Palace, why should there be a limit on who can compete with Helian Shan?"

Another middle-aged man said.

"I'm restricting you, do you have any objections?"

Feng Qingyan Road.

"This this……"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, as if he was unwilling to give in. He wanted to refute again, but was pulled by the sleeve by another middle-aged man.

"I have no objection to canonization."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said.

Feng Qingyan nodded, then looked at everyone and said, "In an hour, we will compete on the Lingshui Bridge. However, it will be limited to ten people. As for who the ten people are, you will discuss and choose them."

"Brother Helian, prepare well."

Feng Qingyan turned around and said to Helian Shan, then walked back to the academy.

At this time, the scholars and writers outside the academy began to discuss things lively.

After all, there are only ten places. Everyone wants to show up in front of Xu Sheng, and everyone wants to fight Helian Chengming, so naturally they won't miss it.

There is fierce competition among young talents for these ten places.

When Feng Qingyan walked back to the academy, many students immediately appeared around Helian Shan.

"Why is Brother Helian so confused?"

Some students were very puzzled and looked as if they were disappointed in their children.

"Everyone will make a fuss about this matter, and then it will be over as Brother Helian becomes the Spring Official of the Holy Palace... After all, Brother Helian was personally appointed by the gentleman, and no one will really dare to embarrass Brother Helian."

"Fortunately, the gentleman has set ten quotas and a limit of age, otherwise..."

The students of Zangshan Academy said one after another.

"Shan, thank you all for your concern."

Helian Shan bowed.

"Everyone, please don't disturb Brother Helian. Let him prepare for the battle in peace. Don't bring down the prestige of our Zangshan Academy."

A student reminded.

All the students seconded the motion.

When Feng Qingyan returned to the academy, the teachers surrounded him and asked, "Gentleman, is there any deep meaning behind allowing others to compete with Helian Shan in etiquette?"

"A deep meaning?"

Feng Qingyan smiled and said, "What's the deep meaning? Since Yangzhi wants to compete with me in etiquette, then let's compete with him."

"but……"

The teacher hesitated and said.

"It's just one of the six ministers."

Feng Qingyan said with a smile.

The teacher was stunned for a moment. In the eyes of Xu Sheng, this was indeed "just one of the six ministers" and was nothing.

in a blink.

An hour passed.

The ten representatives elected from Bocheng were waiting on Junzi Bridge early in the morning.

As for the onlookers, they were not allowed to go up the Junzi Bridge and could only stand outside the Junzi Bridge or on the banks of the Lingshui River.

Or, just on a boat.

"coming."

Someone on the shore shouted excitedly.

At this time, Helian Shan walked up to the Junzi Bridge, looked at the ten people and saluted.

Feng Qingyan followed, followed by the Grand Master, the Old Master and several other masters. They all stood on the Gentleman Bridge. "Are you all ready?"

Feng Qingyan stood in the middle of Junzi Bridge and looked at Helian Shan, Gong Cheng and ten others.

"We are ready."

Everyone answered.

Feng Qingyan nodded and said, "I will personally set the questions for the competition. Do you have any opinions?"

"We have no objection."

Helianshan, Gongcheng and eleven others said.

Gong Cheng, Ximen Bing and the others were secretly delighted in their hearts, for they had never expected that it was Feng Sheng who set the questions and presided over the competition himself.

Regardless of winning or losing in this competition, it has definitely attracted attention.

From then on he became a little famous.

If I win by accident, I will be famous and known to the world...

"Everyone, listen up."

Feng Qingyan pondered for a moment, then asked, "How many officials are there in total, from Chunguan Zongbo to Da Zongbo and below?"

"Seventy officers."

"Seventy officers."

"Seventy officers."

Helianshan, Gongcheng and others answered one after another.

"What are the Ten Laws of the Heavenly Official?"

Feng Qingyan asked.

"Six codes, eight methods, eight rules, eight handles, eight systems, nine duties, nine taxes, nine styles, nine tributes, and nine taels. These are the Ten Methods of the Heavenly Officials."

Helianshan and others said.

These are just common questions.

Feng Qingyan nodded and asked again: "What are the six strategies for corrupting the officials?"

"The first is honesty and kindness, the second is honesty and ability, the third is honesty and respect, the fourth is honesty and justice, the fifth is honesty and law, and the sixth is honesty and discernment."

Helianshan and others said.

Although he dared to compete with Helian Shan in etiquette, he would certainly not be much worse.

At this time, all eleven people on Junzi Bridge answered. Feng Qingyan was not surprised, after all, it was a relatively common question.

"How many times does the word '宜' appear in the Zhou Li?"

Feng Qingyan asked.

At this moment everyone was stunned, their eyes widened for a moment, and then they frowned and recalled.

"Forty-nine times."

Helian Shan hesitated and said.

Feng Qingyan nodded, then looked at Gong Cheng, Ximen Bing and ten other people.

"Forty-nine times."

Someone answered, but I don’t know if he really knew the answer or just answered the same as Helian Shan’s.

Then, everyone answered one by one.

"How many times does the word '时' appear in the Zhou Li?"

Feng Qingyan smiled and asked again.

Everyone was stunned again when they heard this, and seemed a little dissatisfied with such a question. After all, who would specifically count numbers?
Even if you can remember the entire text, it still takes time to count.

"The word 'time' appears one hundred and thirty-one times in total." Helian Shan answered in a few breaths, which surprised Gong Cheng and others, and they even suspected that Feng Sheng had leaked the answer.

But Helian Shan has been staying in front of the academy and has never returned, so this should be impossible.

Since there are means to do it, canonization is not worth doing.

Moreover, at this time, Gong Cheng and others couldn't help but be a little surprised at Helian Shan. They didn't expect that he could answer such a biased question.

"Do you know Liule?"

Feng Qingyan asked again.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Wasn't this a competition of etiquette?
How did you end up comparing to happiness?
At this time, Gong Cheng, Ximen Bing and others looked at each other in bewilderment. Liu Le and the others could do it, but they were not proficient. Strictly speaking, they were not proficient, and it was not appropriate to say that they could do it in front of Xu Sheng...

"I will."

Helian Shan was a little stunned, but still answered.

"Do you know how to fight?"

Feng Qingyan asked.

"I will..."

Helian Shan was stunned. What did Brother Feng mean?
