About the fact that the heir of Huajian School is a girl

"Nine: Hehe..."

Bu Yan was laughed at madly by a bunch of girls.

"Eight: Demon women will not fall in love with human men."

"Eight: What is honey to one may be poison to another. A handsome man of the human race may not be a handsome man to the demon race."

"Eight: So, I'm sure, I don't like it."

One man's meat may be another man's poison...

Li Qingcha clearly remembered Yujun saying this word. Even the sentence structure was the same.

Emmmmm......

Another piece of evidence.

She was thinking about this when Sirou spoke again.

"One: Eight, your word choice is very strange, 'didn't like'? You are not a maid of the demon tribe, how do you know whether you have it or not? You should use 'shouldn't like' or 'can't like', right?"

"..."

There was silence in the group.

It's the end of the month

It's the end of the month, clear out any tickets you have.

The update plan for next month is still to guarantee two updates at least, with additional updates based on rewards and monthly tickets.

Chapter 476: Xiaotou is not so transparent

During the following period, Li Qingcha visited Bailumeng Pavilion every day.

Of course, she will not give lectures anymore, after all, she is not a professional in this field. Her main job is to observe and record, and note down the children with potential to prepare for the upcoming written tests.

After a few days, the young children of the demon tribe came to Beijing.

Li Qingcha was summoned to the palace.

Also present were the cabinet ministers, the seventh prince, and the ministers of the Spring Office.

In previous years, these people were the main force in setting questions, and they were also the best in solving and following up the questions.

In the Qianqing Palace,

"You've heard about it, right?"

The emperor looked around.

No one stepped forward to respond.

The emperor continued to talk to himself, "The children selected by the demon tribe are all fox demons. It is said that this tribe is weaker, but cunning, intelligent, studious and wise, and they are also very familiar with our classics."

Chu Zhongtian asked: "How old are you?"

"The oldest is no more than six years old, and the youngest is only four. I think they are the best among the fox demons."

"Four to six years old is really the age of enlightenment."

Everyone nodded.

Chu Zhongtian was talking about the average. The adults present generally started studying earlier.

The emperor said: "Four to six years old... hehe... they are quite picky. However, Daxia has such a large population, there is no need to look at the whole country. Just talking about the capital, there are enough outstanding young men."

We have an advantage in base numbers, so of course we have the confidence.

He pondered for a moment.

"Do you have any recommendations for a Meng academy? Or any geniuses in the clan school?"

This question made everyone feel a little puzzled.

In the past, when the human and demon races went on autumn hunts, adults could completely rely on their abilities to recommend trusted or familiar people, but when it came to young children, recommending them was like opening a lottery.

No matter how well you usually perform, it would be good if you don't tremble when facing the emperor.

On the contrary, those who are usually fearless may be able to perform stably and speak eloquently.

Therefore, ability is secondary, mentality is more important.

Seeing that no one was talking, Chu Zhongtian expressed his concerns.

Others echoed.

The emperor frowned,

"If that's what you said, then I can't recommend it. My princes were so scared when they saw me that they didn't even dare to breathe~"

The Seventh Prince couldn't help but complain in his heart,

Isn't that nonsense?

The older the prince, the more afraid he is.

The emperor looked around and continued, "In my opinion, don't consider the mentality or anything like that. Let's start with the ability. It's best to find someone who can recognize a thousand words at the age of one and can compose poetry at the age of three."

"..."

"..."

"..."

One sentence silenced everyone.

The emperor glanced at Li Qingcha.

"Li Qing, I heard a long time ago that you have been selecting talents in Bailu Academy recently, is that true or not?"

Li Qingcha corrected,

"It's the Egret Pavilion."

"Yes, Bailu Mengguan, what's the result?"

"..."

Li Qingcha suddenly felt a headache.

But she still gritted her teeth and told him that Bailu Mengguan was trying to teach vernacular Chinese.

This statement really attracted the attention of other ministers.

Chu Zhongtian glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter was actually pushed forward by me alone. Li Zhushi only provided the content of the lecture and was not deeply involved."

The emperor nodded.

"You don't need to take the blame. You mentioned the vernacular literature course before, and I agree. But, from what Li Qing said, are there any suitable candidates among these young men?"

"Perhaps... maybe..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't say such ambiguous words. Forget it, it's impossible to expect you to guarantee it. I'm just curious, aren't these children selected from poor families? Can they really do it?"

It’s normal to have this question.

Li Qingcha then shared his idea.

The emperor was speechless.

"You... hehe... Li Qing, you are honest in your words. You even included me in your plan and asked me to reveal the answer to the question."

Li Qingcha quickly bowed,

"I am guilty. But... Xiao Tou is not that good."

"I think you are right. We in Daxia want to be noble, but will the other party give us a chance? The maid of the demon tribe and King Zuo will definitely tell those fox demon children everything they can. It's simple, they want to win. They want to defeat me. They want to prove that there is no such thing as a true dragon emperor."

"I am terrified."

These words were not said by Li Qingcha, but by a group of ministers.

The emperor waved his hand.

"Okay, then I'll reveal the question."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and placed it on the imperial desk, then tapped the table and stepped aside.

Judging from his appearance, he obviously intended to indicate that he would not participate in the discussion and let these ministers decide for themselves. He cleared himself so cleanly that he was an example of being both a responsible person and a loyal person.

The ministers looked at each other and came forward.

Chu Zhongtian was the head of the civil servants, so of course he would review it first.

After reading it, he said softly, "Huh?" and whispered, "What are the demons thinking? Why do they let the children discuss the situation between the two countries? And they're talking about war..."

Everyone quickly circulated it.

The title was written in vernacular Chinese: "Two countries have been at war for years. How can we gain the upper hand?"

This is definitely a policy question, and the format of the question is basically the same as the essay questions or composition questions in modern Chinese language exams.

Is this question difficult?

Not difficult.

The ministers present could all give an account of it.

But for children, war is really a distant topic.

Chu Zhongtian glanced at Li Qingcha.

"confident?"

Li Qingcha shook his head.

Chu Zhongtian: ￣□￣｜｜

"You can't be blamed. The entire demon tribe is fighting. Under this background, their children will probably have a superficial understanding of war. Children in the capital are not exposed to these things, so it's normal that you are not sure."

Li Qingcha said nothing.

She lowered her head and had already started thinking about which articles were suitable.

The emperor looked at them and spread his hands, saying, "The most troublesome thing is that the demon tribe is very anxious. They said that if the test questions can be determined today, it would be best to start the day after tomorrow."

The Seventh Prince said, "That was a good plan. He knew Li Qing's... Li Zhushi's response strategy, so he deliberately didn't give him time to prepare."

"That's right, so we need to counterattack. What I mean is that this test question is okay, but it should be delayed for a few days."

"What's your plan, Father?"

"Why would we need a trick... Excuses are easy to find. Just say that the child is physically weak and needs to rest after traveling through mountains and rivers from the demon tribe to the capital of Daxia. Also, since it's an open competition, we need to set up the venue, which also takes time. There are too many similar excuses."

This move seems to work.

No one among the ministers objected.

The emperor nodded.

"It's settled. Let's wait for three days to prepare."

After saying that, he looked at Li Qingcha.

"Li Qing, since you have already figured out the demon maid's background, you must go all out. Daxia is governed by Confucianism. If you lose in the literary examination, it will be a great disgrace."

Li Qingcha suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Where is the emperor going to set up the venue?"

"I have considered it, and the square at Liubukou seems to be a good place. It was very effective when the three sects discussed the Dao."

Liubukou Square...

That means everyone in the city is coming.

Li Qingcha pondered, his eyes fixed on the test question. He felt that Yujun's design couldn't be that simple, and there must be some sinister trick behind it.

Chapter 477 Selling Senior Sister

Li Qingcha returned to the Imperial Observatory and went straight into the house to study how to help the children prepare for the exam.
