Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

What exactly will be included in this assessment?

This question doesn't mean Zhang Liang lacked confidence in himself.

He just felt that the content of the assessment must be closely related to the job duties of this secretary official.

He could prepare in advance, and besides, he was curious because he heard that this assessment was organized by Tang Yu.

If that's the case, then based on Zhang Liang's understanding of Tang Yu...

The exam questions set by this kind of person will definitely be eye-opening for everyone.

The man looked at Zhang Liang and said with considerable surprise:

"I heard that the notice posted by the Imperial Advisor this time said..."

"The content of this assessment is the knowledge required for appointing local officials."

Just as Zhang Liang and the others were listening with great interest to what was to come, they saw the man shrug.

"Gone."

"No more."

Zhang Liang and the other people from the six states looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What was that even about? It would have been better if they hadn't said anything at all."

"Yes, what does 'all the knowledge needed to be an official' mean? What does he mean by that?"

"It must be based on the past assessment content, which is nothing more than the Four Books and Five Classics, the Analects, and policy essays. It seems that Tang Yu is just like that!"

Listening to the words of those around him, Zhang Liang lowered his head and pondered.

Something is wrong, absolutely wrong.

Based on his understanding of Tang Yu, the other party couldn't possibly be that kind of person.

He recalled the message the man had told him to pass on.

What knowledge is needed for all appointed officials?

"boom--"

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind.

A smile appeared on Zhang Liang's lips.

Interesting! Absolutely interesting!

Tang Yu, let me see if it's really what I think!

Upon returning to his residence, Chunyu Yue was summoned away before he could even sit down and have a sip of hot water.

At this moment, a meeting is being held among the Confucian scholars.

"Why hasn't Dr. Chunyu Yue arrived yet?"

"When I arrived, his doorman told me that he had gone to visit Prince Fusu. I heard it was for some business, is that right?"

“Prince Fusu has not been close to us Confucian officials these past few days. We should indeed go and strengthen our relationship.”

"But what brings Dr. Chunyu Yue on his visit?"

Listening to the discussion among the Confucian scholars around him, Kong Feng's eyes betrayed his guilty conscience.

It should be known that his hiring of someone to assassinate Tang Yu was common knowledge throughout the entire court.

The only thing he didn't know was who these unlucky souls might be implicated by him.

At that moment, he was afraid that these people would find out about this news. Just then, Chen Yuyue finally arrived.

Upon seeing Chunyu Yue arrive, the Confucian scholars immediately surrounded him.

Sun Qiang, who also served in the Imperial Academy alongside Chunyu Yue, was approached by Dr. Sun, who said:

"Excellent! Chunyu Yue handled this matter brilliantly!"

Those around them quickly chimed in when they heard this.

"That's right, I didn't expect that Tang Yu, despite his grievances against Confucianism, is actually a man who gets things done!"

"If my Confucian school succeeds in the future, I must treat Tang Yu better!!!"

The Confucian scholars around him, each offering their own opinions, left Chunyu Yue somewhat bewildered.

What exactly happened while I was away?

He looked at Sun Qiang.

"Dr. Sun, what exactly happened just now?"

"do not you know?"

Seeing Chunyu Yue's puzzled look, Sun Qiang excitedly began to explain.

"It's all thanks to you."

"Me?? Huh??"

Chunyu Yue was about to tell everyone some bad news: Prince Fusu's attitude towards Confucianism and himself had changed.

He was completely taken aback by this news.

I didn't do anything!

At this moment, the Confucian disciple hurriedly said:

"The last time Dr. Chunyu Yue agreed to make a deal with Tang Yu, it was because we, the Confucian scholars, supported Tang Yu's reforms!!"

"Tang Yu will be covering Confucianism in this assessment today!"

"Oh, is that so!"

Chunyu Yue nodded, but then he immediately realized what was going on.

"Could it be that Tang Yu has given a response?"

"Of course, Doctor, while you were visiting the Crown Prince, Tang Yu also released an announcement about the content of this assessment."

"It's settled! That's great! What is it?!"

Chunyu Yue felt that even though he had been turned away by Fusu, it was not unacceptable.

After all, the good news from Tang Yu's side was truly fantastic news.

"This is what Tang Yu said in the announcement he released nationwide."

"The content of this assessment includes all the knowledge required for appointing officials!"

"What does it mean?"

When one of them became curious, the other immediately stepped forward and said:

"You're so stupid, you don't even know this!"

"Since he promised our Confucian school that the exam content would be replaced with Confucian knowledge."

"That means the content used in this exam will be entirely from the Confucian classics, such as the Four Books and Five Classics and the Analects!"

"In that case, Tang Yu calls it the knowledge that officials in the Qin state must use."

"Isn't that tacitly acknowledging the status of Confucianism?"

"Is that so? That really makes sense!!"

"From now on, anyone in Qin who wants to become an official must become one of our Confucian scholars."

"So that's what he meant. I really didn't expect that. It seems that Tang Yu is indeed reliable."

"All the knowledge needed?"

Upon seeing this, Chunyu Yue was genuinely excited.

After all, Tang Yu's words directly and indirectly acknowledged the orthodox status of Confucianism!

He possesses the knowledge taught by Confucianism, the knowledge that officials must possess!

Isn't this just announcing it to the whole world?

If one wants to become an official, is it necessary to become a Confucian disciple?

"This is wonderful! This is wonderful! How could there be such a good thing in the world?"

Upon hearing this news, Chunyu Yue was practically ready to visit Tang Yu with gifts.

After all, Tang Yu was a really great person to him.

If Tang Yu knew the movements of these Confucian scholars, he would probably say something to Ying Zheng.

See? He even has to thank us!

However, upon reflecting on those words, Chunyu Yue did indeed sense something was amiss.

However, he didn't say it aloud because he noticed that everyone around him was cheering.

For a moment, he felt that he was overthinking things.

After all, gentlemen of this era value integrity the most; as the saying goes, a person cannot stand without integrity.

He didn't believe Tang Yu could do something so untrustworthy.

Therefore, Chunyu Yue's last bit of worry was put to rest.

He turned and joined the Confucianists in their celebration.

At this moment, Chunyu Yue was unaware that a great calamity was about to befall his Confucian school.

Because at that time, Fusu, who had gone to Zhangtai Palace to find Ying Zheng, entered the palace!

"Fusu pays respects to his father, the Emperor!"

Upon seeing Ying Zheng, Fusu first bowed, then said with a serious expression:

"Father! These Confucian scholars may have ulterior motives!"

Ying Zheng, who had just seen Tang Yu off, saw his son coming to him looking anxious.

I thought it was something serious, but after hearing that, I couldn't help but laugh and ask in return:

Oh? What does "two hearts" mean?
