My Wife is A Sword God

“Why is your face turning red? What about the marriage you mentioned earlier? Who is getting married?” Qin Feng asked curiously.

Anya hastily picked up the white scroll on the table and changed the subject, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Because she was so flustered, Anya didn’t even realize that she had changed the way she referred to herself.

She forced herself to compose herself and looked at the white scroll, and tried to recover from the embarrassment she had just experienced.

But when she thought of Qin Feng seeing her losing her composure, an unknown fire arose within her.

If this guy hadn’t spoken in such ambiguous terms, how could she have misunderstood and lost control?

Anya criticized and glanced at the characters of the imperial examination system. 

“Although the handwriting has obviously been practiced and is no longer as ugly as before, it is still far from being presentable.”

“Let’s not even talk about how effective this so-called imperial examination system is. Just based on this handwriting, the emperor may not even take a second look.”

“Really? Is your father… I mean, the emperor, also so meticulous?” Qin Feng’s expression was strange.

“Who are you calling meticulous?” Anya raised her eyebrows and glared at him.

Qin Feng’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly waved his hand, “I didn’t mean that. Let’s put aside the matter of handwriting for now. Take a look at the content inside.”

“The current selection system in The Great Qian has too many drawbacks. If it is not changed, it will only turn the court into a monopoly of the powerful, and there will be no one to speak for the common people.”

“In the long run, it’s not good for the people of The Great Qian. My imperial examination system not only breaks the monopoly of the powerful in the court but also allows the emperor to recruit heroes from all over..”

Listening to this, Anya restrained her emotions and looked seriously at the white scroll, “The shortcomings of the current selection system are known to the emperor, but wanting to change it is not easy.” 

“It will face opposition from a large number of civil and military officials.”

“Besides, you haven’t stepped into the court and don’t understand its ways. How can you make some useful suggestions?”

“What you’re talking about is just wishful thinking and empty talk. And this imperial examination system…”

Her voice stopped abruptly because she had been deeply attracted by the content on the white scroll.

The concept of selecting scholars by subject and screening at all levels to recruit unique talents for the imperial court made her eyes shine.

‘Free registration, open examination, equal competition, and selection of the best talents.’ Anya recited these words silently in her heart, and her beautiful eyes lit up.

Especially the phrase “All the heroes in the world will join us,” made Anya’s heart surge.

If this system could really be implemented in The Great Qian, it would undoubtedly bring more benefits than drawbacks.

“Did you come up with this imperial examination system?” Anya looked surprised.

As a transmigrator, Qin Feng responded without blushing, “Of course. What do you think of this system?”

“Not bad. In terms of implementation and feasibility, there doesn’t seem to be any major issues.” Anya’s lips slightly curled. 

Having been well-versed in the Confucian classics since childhood, she could naturally see how remarkable this imperial examination policy was.

If she hadn’t heard of this system before, she might have thought Qin Feng had borrowed it from somewhere.

Otherwise, how could he describe it in such detail, even thinking about which department and official position would be responsible for the corresponding assessment?

After a while, the smile on her face slowly faded, and she sighed, “However, this reform will touch the interests of most of the powerful figures in the court. Even if the Emperor agrees, it will undoubtedly face strong opposition from many officials.”

“The road to reform is never smooth; only after overcoming obstacles can one see a new world,” Qin Feng said solemnly.

“You sound like you’ve experienced a lot. Anyway, don’t worry, I will inform the Emperor about this matter. Moreover, I will also discuss it with my teacher. If my teacher agrees with this imperial examination system, the Emperor will have more confidence when facing civil and military officials.” Anya said after some contemplation.

“Hmm? Who is your teacher?” Qin Feng asked curiously. Who could have such influence to challenge the entire court of civil and military officials?

Anya looked at Qin Feng, a smile playing on her lips, “Since it has come to this point, there’s no need for me to continue hiding it. In fact, I am the seventh disciple of the National Teacher, and I have been studying under his guidance.”

“However, after taking over the Gathering Treasures Pavilion, I became too busy, so I have been visiting the Grand Literature Academy less frequently.”

“Strictly speaking, you should call me Senior Sister, Junior Brother Qin.”

Anya deliberately emphasized the words “Qin Junior Brother.”

Qin Feng, hearing this, widened his eyes, looking incredulous, “Senior Sister?”

“That’s right.” Anya raised her eyebrows slightly, stood up and patted Qin Feng on the shoulder, with the attitude of an elder.

“As for the matter of the imperial examination system, you can rest assured and leave it to the Senior Sister. I will give you an answer as soon as possible.”

Once a princess, now also a disciple of the National Teacher.

Without any reason, Qin Feng’s status had suddenly dropped by a level.

At the Grand Literature Academy, on the top floor of the Heavenly Tower, Anya changed back into a girl’s clothes.

Seeing her, Yang Qian on the first floor seemed to understand something, “It seems you have already clarified your identity with Junior Brother Qin, or else you wouldn’t be dressed like this when you come here.”

“You can just go up, the teacher knows you’re coming.”

“Alright, thanks, Senior Brother Yang.”

Anya, holding her skirt, gracefully ascended to the top of the Heavenly Tower. 

The night wind blew, lifting the strands of hair on her forehead. Looking up, the National Teacher, dressed in white with white hair, stood by the railing.

“Teacher, your disciple has something she wants you to see,” she said, gently placing the document written by Qin Feng on the desk.

The National Teacher remained motionless, only a gentle breeze flipping through the pages of the white scroll.

The teacher turned around, gazing at the thick white scroll, with a glint in his eyes.

“Good.”

Just one word, Anya understood. The teacher also approved Qin Fengcao’s proposed imperial examination system.

“The disciple wants to present this to the Emperor. I believe the Emperor will like it, but this system will surely face opposition from most officials.”

“So the disciple hopes that the teacher can provide some assistance.”

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher turned around, looking up at the night sky.

Although the starlight of winter is dim, another starry sky is reflected in the national teacher’s eyes, shining brightly.

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher raised his hand, reaching towards the night sky. Between his fingers, a burst of light flickered, as if he had plucked a star.

Anya made no sound when she saw this because she knew that the teacher was performing divination.

After a moment, everything returned to normal, and the Heavenly Tower National Teacher calmly said, “After you go back, just present this thing to your father, the Emperor.”

Anya’s face brightened at these words, “Does it mean, Teacher, that this imperial examination system can be smoothly implemented?”

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher shook his head, “It still depends on people, presenting an opportunity is necessary.”
