Holy Maiden, please be in peace

Chapter 265
In the inner courtyard of the Poetry Garden, there are two rows of seats.

Male left, female right.

Those sitting on the left are all well-known talents in Los Angeles.

The one sitting on the right is naturally a lady from Los Angeles.

As for the main seat, it is Mr. Qi from the Hanlin Academy.

In the seat on the left, almost all the men unconsciously looked at the girl on the right.

The girl's eyes kept wandering on the opposite seat.

Whenever the girl's sight is in sight, those talented people will straighten up and puff out their chests.

However, the girl didn't stay on them for a moment.

The girl was looking for his figure, but she couldn't find it no matter what.

Naturally, the girl couldn't be found.

Because after writing the poem, that scumbag went to pick up Zhuling from the haunted house.

Otherwise, if the little white rabbit was left in the haunted house for too long, she might collapse.

"Now that the time has come, let's begin."

The old man named Qi Yu spoke slowly.

In terms of poetry appreciation, this Master Qi of the Hanlin Academy can be regarded as the most authoritative person in the entire Qian Kingdom.

But let's be honest.

For Qi Yu, if it was not entrusted by His Majesty, it would be impossible for Qi Yu to come to Los Angeles, let alone agree to participate in the poetry meeting.

Isn't it good to read books and learn at home?
I'm an old man, why come to Los Angeles all the way?
Thinking of this, Qi Yu couldn't help sighing, thinking of that morning court last month.

In that early dynasty, Empress Qian Guo publicly announced that she would recruit a talented person to take on the responsibility of drafting the imperial edict.

This made many old fried dough stick officials in the court very happy.

Back then, when the empress of the Qian Kingdom first came to the throne, many people stuffed their cronies or students into the Qingshui yamen of the Imperial Academy.

The position of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is extremely sought-after
Because the Hanlin Bachelor is responsible for drafting the edict. In layman's terms, he is His Majesty's personal assistant.

It's fine if it's the old emperor, but this is the new empress.

The empress's ascension to the throne is just the occasion for employing people. If she can get acquainted with her in front of His Majesty, wouldn't she be able to achieve success in the future?
Furthermore!Your Majesty is a woman. In order to continue the royal blood, she must recruit a consort.

And women love geniuses the most.

If His Majesty looks at one of his students or something, wouldn't it be a great success?
But, to everyone's surprise.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, all the palaces are filled with women, and even the eunuchs have changed positions.

In the past, the eunuchs in the imperial palace either went to the East and West factories, or received pensions and went back to their hometowns to provide for the elderly, which was enough for them to live well into old age.

Since then, the palace of Qian Kingdom is the real daughter country, and the duty of drafting edicts has always been carried out by maids.

Although the speaker has also advised many times, he feels that it is inappropriate for a woman to draft the edict.

According to the rules of the imperial court, the drafting of imperial edicts is always carried out by Hanlin scholars, how can it be done by women?
But the Empress Qianguo just didn't listen.

And the various means displayed by the Empress Qianguo, as well as the various policies after she ascended the throne, clearly cleaned up the old and new officials.

In less than a few years, under the Meiji rule of the Empress, the Qian Kingdom reached its heyday.

The prestige of the Empress Qian has reached an unimaginable level.

It can be said that one day the empress of the Qian Kingdom stole the prime minister's house for no reason, and the prime minister would immediately take off her black gauze hat, and then kneel in front of the palace gate to plead guilty, even if he really did nothing.

So no one mentioned the matter of the Hanlin Bachelor.

This time, Empress Qianguo wanted to hire someone to be responsible for drafting the imperial edict, and these old fritters suspected that they had heard it wrong.

But soon, they heard the empress say again:
"Luocheng is an economically and culturally important city in our dynasty, with a strong style of writing. I plan to draft the post of "Bishulang". I will select talents from Luocheng without sticking to one pattern. Lord Qi is in charge of this matter. After the Ice and Snow Festival in Luocheng , I also ask Master Qi to give me a list.

In the end, I will choose the right candidate from Master Qi's list!"

After finishing speaking, Empress Qianguo felt that she was still not at ease, and added again: "The list submitted by Master Qi has no limit, and the more people the better, the teachers from the Los Angeles Academy can even appear on the list."

When they heard the empress's words, the court officials were stunned.

Especially Qi Yu.

Today the imperial examination is the most important and important way to become an official.

Now His Majesty wants to select from the people?Then directly serve as His Majesty's personal assistant?

Ah this
How should I put it, others are afraid that their hearts will be unbalanced.
But because of the empress' prestige, no one dared to refute.

In the end, after Qi Yu took over this task, even though he had to travel thousands of miles to come to Los Angeles, he still did his duty.

Qi Yu also decided that the candidate must meet three requirements this time!

First!Talent and character must be outstanding, otherwise, how can an ordinary person who has not passed the imperial examination serve as a book writer, how can he convince the public?

His Majesty's reputation will be more or less affected.

second!The other party should not be too ugly, but definitely not too handsome!Otherwise, what if His Majesty gets along with each other day and night, and his heart springs up by accident?
What if His Majesty is obsessed with masculinity, and the prosperity of the Qian Kingdom goes downhill like this, and I have no face to meet the late emperor.
third!It is best for the other party to have a family, is already married, and is extremely affectionate with his wife.

In this case, even if there is a little affection, it doesn't matter, because His Majesty also knows that it is impossible to be with the other party.

After all, are you going to let the dignified empress be your concubine?Or snatch someone else's husband?

Is this still available?

Your Majesty is also aware of the importance of it.

With these three requirements, Qi Yu came to Los Angeles, and happened to catch up with the poetry meeting the next day, and at the invitation of the other party, Qi Yu happened to come and see it.

Seeing poetry is like meeting people. Poetry is the best expression of a person's heart, and all talents will come, and I just happen to "interview" in person.

In the garden of poems, the first poem was read by a maid.

This is a seven-character poem, with the snow as the background, and the beauty standing in the snow, rendering an artistic conception of beauty and snow, sickness and pure white.

The author is a Juren from Los Angeles, No.10 in the provincial examination.

No. 10 in the Luocheng and Rural Examination, no surprises, next year's Chunwei, can enter the second class.

The poems are well written. After reading a poem, the other party stands up and bows, but the person is a bit too handsome, and he is still single. Forget it, he won’t recommend it.

The second poem was written by a very famous romantic talent in Los Angeles. It is also Qilu, with gorgeous rhetoric and very frivolous. It is said that he often stays in brothels at night.

The third song is a poem with a good literary talent, but the author is a bit embarrassing, worried that it will affect His Majesty's mood, forget it, I don't recommend it.

The fourth song and the fifth song Well, these two people are well-behaved, and they can write poems well. Although they have been to brothels, who hasn't?It's good if you don't hang out all night, and it's the top five in the township examination,
Can!Nominate!
Sixth, seventh.
One by one verses are read out by the maid, and after each verse is finished, the author will stand up and salute.

Then Qi Yu will silently remember the names of these people in his heart, and write down those who can be nominated.

Anyway, His Majesty said the more people, the better.

But Qi Yu wondered why these people only described scenes of girls visiting the garden and standing on the snow?
Even the maidens in their poems have a delicate beauty.

How is this going?
