Snow: The Crown Prince of Chu, forced into marriage by the Minister of the Southern Palace with his

What are your plans for the next few days?

Intend?

Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment, then said directly, "I don't have any plans, I'll just explore the entire Shangyin Academy first."

"If there's nothing fun to do here, I'll leave."

"What?" Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, not only Xu Weixiong was surprised, but even Yu Youwei looked over.

After all, in her view, her crown prince must have some kind of plan for coming here.

Yu Youwei also heard Jiang Xuan's poem about chrysanthemums.

At first, she only thought this person was a bit arrogant, but after learning Jiang Xuan's identity, she was filled with excitement.

Especially when she thought of the line "The fragrance of incense fills Chang'an, and the whole city is adorned with golden armor," she felt that she could already picture Jiang Xuan wearing golden armor and marching into Tai'an City.

Thinking of this, Yu Youwei couldn't help but tremble.

Xu Weixiong glanced at Yu Youwei. She didn't know what the girl was thinking, but she knew that she was prone to daydreaming. She seemed resilient, but in reality, she was still a girl at heart.

Unlike myself...

When Xu Weixiong thought of this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Jiang Xuan beside him and continued, "By the way, Chief Minister Zhang and Chancellor Wang want to see you tomorrow."

"See me?" Jiang Xuan glanced sideways, a look of curiosity flashing across his face. "What do you want to see me for? To make me attend class?"

Xu Weixiong rolled his eyes and said, "Is it possible that you haven't passed the last two hurdles after entering the university?"

"This year's entrance exams for Shangyin Academy consisted of reciting poems and composing essays, strategies for governing the country, and a Confucian self-examination."

As Xu Weixiong spoke, he looked at Jiang Xuan with a look of great interest: "You actually thought of standing up Chief Minister Zhang, you really have audacity."

Jiang Xuan shrugged, looking at the system check-in progress which was already 30%, and finally sighed inwardly.

He thought he could get the sign-in done in a couple of days, but who knew there would be so many things involved!

"I forgot, of course I'll go."

Looking at his expression, Xu Weixiong thought to himself, "Forgot? With your expression, you say you've forgotten?"

Who believes?

However, Xu Weixiong only complained to himself and did not say it out loud.

Jiang Xuan was thinking to himself that the exam at Shangyin Academy would last for about five days.

The first challenge is to compose poems and essays, then announce who passed and who didn't, and rest until the next day.

Then comes the second stage, "Strategies for Governing the Country" and "Confucian Sages Ask Their Own Minds," which follow the same formula.

However, after the Confucian sage asked himself a question, he went directly to school.

It's fine, but it's not fine.

Simple and crude.

Jiang Xuan nodded at this moment, then suddenly looked at Xu Weixiong and said.

"Finished talking? Aren't you leaving?"

Chapter Twenty-Three: Yu Youwei's Transformation and Zhang Julu's Joy

Xu Weixiong never imagined that one day he would be asked to leave.

Although she felt it was a bit outrageous, she didn't say anything.

But as he left, he glanced at Jiang Xuan a few more times and then at Yu Youwei.

As for Yu Youwei, she didn't dare to look up from beginning to end, as if she was afraid of meeting Xu Weixiong's gaze.

Jiang Xuan looked at Yu Youwei, blinked involuntarily, and muttered to himself.

If Yu Youwei were to drop something on the ground, it probably wouldn't be very noticeable, would it?

However, Jiang Xuan only thought about it for a moment, and said that it was just teasing: "She's already gone."

Upon hearing this, Yu Youwei breathed a long sigh of relief and patted her chest.

Looking at the dramatic scene before him, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but think to himself.

No wonder it's called "Milk Armor".

Jiang Xuan coughed subconsciously, then took a sip of tea to calm himself down: "Why do I feel like you're really afraid of Xu Weixiong?"

Yu Youwei nodded, then couldn't help but purse her lips and said, "In the entire Shangyin Academy, not to mention me, there is no one who is not afraid of her."

"let me tell you……"

……

While Yu Youwei and Jiang Xuan were talking about Shangyin Academy and Xu Weixiong.

At this moment, Xu Weixiong had arrived at Wang Jijiu's room and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Weixiong pushed open the door and entered. She then saw Wang Jijiu and Zhang Julu sitting together playing chess.

"Quickly, quickly, come here!" Upon seeing Xu Weixiong enter, Wang Jijiu hurriedly waved his hand and said quickly, "I've been almost slaughtered, and several dragons have already slain me."

Xu Weixiong walked straight up, and she shook her head after just one glance: "This situation is beyond saving, even a god couldn't save it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jijiu could only grin and then toss the chess piece in his hand into the chess box.

At this moment, he glanced at his disciple—no, he couldn't really call him a disciple anymore.

After all, his knowledge had been completely absorbed by Xu Weixiong, leaving him with almost nothing.

So recently, my classes have all been taught by Xu Weixiong, with the main theme being "the student surpasses the teacher."

"Is something the matter?" Wang Jijiu knew his student Xu Weixiong all too well; Xu Weixiong would never come over unless there was something important to discuss.

Xu Weixiong hesitated for a moment. She originally wanted to ask some questions about the politics of Liyang, but Zhang Julu was here.

Some things are too sensitive to say.

Xu Weixiong nodded slightly and said, "I just heard an article that can be described as absolutely unique."

"Even students believe that this article can be called the greatest parallel prose of all time, and I think that's not an exaggeration."

Upon hearing Xu Weixiong's words, both Wang Jijiu and Zhang Julu put down what they were holding and looked at Xu Weixiong at the same time.

Wang Jijiu and Zhang Julu knew Xu Weixiong very well.

She was not some ignorant or outspoken person; in fact, whether it was poetry, prose, or other forms of literature, Xu Weixiong could be said to have surpassed her contemporaries.

Otherwise, Zhang Julu wouldn't have thought that even though Xu Weixiong was a woman, he would still recommend her for a government position.

It's just a pity that she was a person of Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Liang, and also a descendant of Ye Baikui, the military strategist of Western Chu.

Such a complicated identity would give even Zhang Julu a headache, let alone the imperial court.

They were quite curious to see such a talented woman utter such a masterpiece of parallel prose.

After thinking about this, Wang Jijiu and Zhang Julu sat up straight and looked at Xu Weixiong at the same time.

Xu Weixiong did not hesitate and directly recounted in detail what Jiang Xuan had said about the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng.

At first, Wang Jijiu and Zhang Julu looked at Xu Weixiong with indifferent expressions.

However, the next second, the two of them stood up at the same time, their faces filled with nothing but shock.

She waited until Xu Weixiong finished speaking before looking at Wang Jijiu and Zhang Julu.

They were standing together, looking at the scenery outside the window, speechless for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Julu turned around first, and his expression as he looked at Xu Weixiong was full of complex emotions.

After all, the person in front of us has a very complicated background, but this article...

At this moment, Zhang Julu had only one thought in his mind: to get Xu Weixiong into officialdom.

If that doesn't work, then kill her.

Yes, that's exactly what he was thinking.

Although Zhang Julu never had any designs on Beiliang, and even secretly provided financial assistance to Beiliang in the past.

But that was to find a balance between Liyang and Beiliang, for peace, and for the people of Liyang and Beiliang.

However, after hearing this article, Zhang Julu had only one thought in his mind.

That's the child; he must not be allowed to live!

If Xu Weixiong is given time to grow, then the future of Li Yang... I'm afraid...

Just as Zhang Julu was lost in thought, Wang Jijiu finally came to his senses.

However, he looked at Xu Weixiong calmly and said slowly, "So, who wrote this article?"

Zhang Julu hummed in surprise, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

So this article wasn't written by Xu Weixiong?

Why was Chief Minister Wang so certain?

As if he could see through Zhang Julu's thoughts, Wang Jijiu shook his head and said, "Xu Weixiong is very powerful, even surpassing me."

"But I know her own limitations."

At this point, Wang Jijiu paused, his gaze falling on Xu Weixiong: "So I'm certain that she didn't write this article."

Xu Weixiong didn't wait for the two to continue guessing, and nodded generously, saying, "It's definitely not me, and you two know the person who wrote the article."

know?

Students of Shangyin Academy?

At this moment, Wang Jijiu tilted his head, scratched his head, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.

He thought for a long time but couldn't think of anyone in the Shangyin Academy with such literary talent and ability.

However, before he could speak, Zhang Julu narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly looked at Xu Weixiong beside him.

"You're not talking about Jiang Xuan, are you?"
