Chapter 36 The hanging heart finally died
Cui Si was shocked by her own thoughts and was a little bit unbelievable.
Currently, she is one of the people who have been reborn as far as she knows, as is Cui Yun. If Yan Xingchuan is also reborn, wouldn’t the world be even more chaotic?
Could it be that God was dissatisfied with the script of the previous life and made them perform it again?
Thinking that Yan Xingchuan might also be reborn, Cui Si felt dizzy and her head was about to spin.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he appears to be the dignified and steady King of Northern Yan. In private, he is particularly domineering and arrogant, and has a strong possessiveness. What belongs to him cannot be taken away by others.
Sometimes, I can be willful and unreasonable.
"A'si, what's wrong with you?" Cui Jing saw her face changing again and again, and her expression was very strange. "Do you know this person?"
"I don't know him." Cui Si immediately denied, "Third brother, you are joking. Ah Si has been in Xianyang City all the time. How could she possibly recognize this person?"
"Could it be that the King of Northern Yan was stranded in Xianyang City and you helped him?"
"No." Cui Si denied again.
Cui Jing couldn't get any information out of him, so he just shook his head and said, "Well, then, come in with me."
At this point, this is all we can do.
Cui Si secretly suppressed the urge to turn around and leave. She also wanted to see whether Yan Xingchuan was reborn or not, so that she could make plans for the future.
Several people walked inside together, and after entering the gate of Xianyang Academy, they climbed the steps up the mountain.
After walking for about an incense stick of time, we arrived at a vast open space covered with bluestone slabs. Opposite the open space was a statue of Confucius, and book houses were scattered around it, built against the mountain.
At this time, there were hundreds of desks set up in front of the statue of Confucius, and many people had already sat down in front of them.
Yan Xingchuan, Mr. Cui Erye and others sat facing the crowd and were talking.
Seeing Cui Si and the others arrive, Yan Xingchuan raised his head and looked over. His eyes touched them lightly and then moved to Cui Jing: "Cui Sanlang, wait until you come over here."
Upon hearing this, Cui Jing walked forward with a few people.
Yan Xingchuan asked Cui Jing to sit next to him, so Cui Jing had to let Cui Si sit with him, and let Cui Changyou and Jiang Cinian sit next to him.
"Cui Sanlang, is this your sister?"
"That's right." Cui Jing simply nodded and immediately changed the subject, "What do you think of the students at Xianyang Academy, Your Majesty?"
"He is indeed a pillar of talent." Yan Xingchuan nodded.
In his previous life, Xianyang Academy had indeed produced many outstanding students, which relieved him of many worries. Even after the unification of the world, when the imperial examination system was opened in the imperial city to select officials, many students also came out of Xianyang Academy.
Later, Xianyang Academy became one of the three major academies in the world.
Cui Jing asked him again, "How do you think we should select talented people?"
Seeing that the hundred tables were almost all occupied, Yan Xingchuan stopped hiding his intentions and said, "I have three questions for you. The first is to praise your merits and show your loyalty. The second is to discuss the strategy for governing the world. The third is to discuss the strategy for unifying the world."
Having said this, Yan Xingchuan glanced at Cui Si beside Cui Jing without leaving any trace, and explained:
"It's not that I'm greedy for fame or enjoy flattery, but if I didn't know that he was disrespectful and unfaithful to me, why would I employ him?"
Cui Si's hand trembled and she almost knocked over the teacup beside her.
After she realized what was happening, she quickly lowered her head and eyes to hide the shock in her heart.
These words...these words were what she said to him in her previous life in order to select talented people, using these three questions to choose scholars.
The first is to understand, respect and be loyal to the monarch; the second is to govern the people's livelihood; and the third is to expand the territory.
The first may seem flattering, but it is the most important.
The second and third are to see whether the selected person is suitable to be placed in the rear to govern the mountains and rivers, or to accompany him to compete for the world and achieve the goal of unifying the world.
If one of the second and third options is outstanding, you can get the middle score.
His sudden visit to Xianyang Academy could perhaps be considered a coincidence, but the fact that he could say what she had said in her previous life, this... this was definitely not a coincidence.
Cui Si's anxious heart finally died.
No wonder he inexplicably broke into her bedroom last night.
No wonder when he turned around to look at her just now, the emotions in his eyes were so unpredictable.
Cui Si's heart was beating wildly and she was in a state of unrest. For a moment, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
The good news was that he had unified the world in his previous life and had experience, so this time he might be able to be faster, avoid many problems, and save lives.
What worries her is that since he has been reborn, how could he easily let her marry someone else?
In his previous life, even though he had made his cousin Lin Qingning the queen, she wanted to divorce him, but he disagreed and even wanted to lock her up.
After hearing what Yan Xingchuan said, Cui Jing agreed with it repeatedly. He thought these three questions were very good and could probably help him quickly select loyal and capable people to contribute to the great cause of Northern Yan.
When ninety-nine people were seated at the one hundred desks placed in the open space, Mr. Cui asked people to ask the onlookers to move back.
"The King of Northern Yan has issued an order: today, we will select ten men from every hundred miles. Those who are not interested must step back ten feet, remain silent, and refrain from discussing anything."
At this moment, a woman in a green skirt and a silver hairpin suddenly rushed forward and sat in the last seat.
Everyone present immediately turned their eyes over, and the few who hesitated and did not dare to step forward had their seats taken away, and immediately started to make a commotion.
"Get up now."
The woman sat upright in her seat, head held high and chest puffed out, standing still.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, a young lady. Why are you here instead of staying at home to help your husband give birth to a child? Get out of the way quickly and don't get in the way of us men doing our important work."
The woman scoffed lightly, then said, "What about women? What about men? Xianyang Academy has already said that today's selection is based on 'virtue', but they never said they only want men and not women."
"You... Dean Cui, look at this little girl. She actually dared to cause trouble like this. Quickly kick her out, or she won't let the King of Northern Yan down."
Those who didn't fight for the seat nearby, or who couldn't stand the fact that a woman dared to step forward and compete for it, also echoed her.
"Yes, kick her out."
"Don't let her, a woman, mess things up here."
"How dare you!" Cui Si suddenly stood up. "What? Just because you can't win over a woman, you're going to use your power to bully her or act unreasonably?"
"What about men? What about women? Madam Shuanghua is right. When the King of Northern Yan selected his candidates today, he never said that he would only choose men and not women. Everything was judged based on talent."
"You hesitated and missed the opportunity, so how can you blame others for getting there first? Since you're hesitant, go home and think it over before trying again."
If you are still wavering and hesitant, then go home and ask your mother for milk!
Yan Xingchuan looked at her standing there, looking down at her, with anger in his eyes, and scolded her coldly.
In an instant, it seemed as if I had returned to the past.
So he nodded repeatedly on the side: "Madam Cui is right."
My lady, you are right!
