Chapter 72 The imperial examination order was issued, and the whole world was shocked
On the way back to the palace.
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything to the master.
He had no choice but to teach Fusu and Li Si earnestly: "In the future, let's not play mahjong with the master anymore!"
"Father is right!"
"Your Majesty is right!"
Fusu and Li Si nodded in agreement.
What a painful realization!
...
In fact, Chen Qilin really didn't cheat. He killed all four sides last night purely by relying on his skills.
Ying Zheng, Fusu, and Li Si, the three big guys, are still very trustworthy. Soon after they returned, they immediately sent someone to send 600,000 gold (200,000 gold per person).
They really bleed a lot this time!
Chen Qilin was very happy. Without hesitation, he immediately exchanged all the 600,000 gold and property for Tiandao points.
[Ding! The host's Tiandao point balance is 1105. Do you want to improve your cultivation? ]
The sound of the system sounded.
Chen Qilin nodded without hesitation and said, "Spend 1,000 Heavenly Dao Points to improve your cultivation."
Boom~
Suddenly, a powerful and mysterious energy was injected into his body...
Chen Qilin clearly felt that his combat power was increasing rapidly.
This feeling is very good, and all the cells in his body are cheering and jumping for joy, as if he has ascended to heaven.
[Ding! The host's cultivation has successfully been upgraded to the second level of the Golden Core Realm! The balance of Heavenly Dao Points is 105 points. 】
Chen Qilin stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and was very satisfied with his condition.
He called Wang Ying and Xiao Hei over, and after giving them some instructions, he left Xianyang and went straight to the treasure place of the Xiongnu King's Court.
The Heavenly Dao Building was handed over to Wang Ying and Xiao Hei.
...
A few days later.
Outside the city of Xianyang, there was a deafening sound of horse hooves, as if an earthquake had occurred. A cavalry corps of 100,000 light and heavy cavalry, carrying smoke and dust, came in a mighty manner.
The military might was so solemn, like an iron-blooded army that had fought its way out of a sea of blood and corpses. It was extremely oppressive and suffocating.
This cavalry corps was led by Wang Ben, who, under the order of His Majesty, led the corps back to Xianyang.
After the cavalry corps entered the camp, Wang Ben immediately went to the palace to report.
Imperial study.
"Your Majesty, I, Wang Ben, pay my respects to you!" Wang Ben, dressed in military uniform, saluted respectfully.
Ying Zheng stepped forward and helped him up: "Tongwu Hou, please don't be polite!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Ben said.
Ying Zheng looked at him: "Have the 100,000 cavalry been settled?"
"Your Majesty, they have been settled!"
"How many infantry can these 100,000 cavalry defeat?"
"Your Majesty, 100,000 light and heavy cavalry equipped with stirrups, horseshoes and high-bridge saddles are enough to suppress hundreds of thousands or even millions of infantry!"
Ying Zheng got the answer, nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, with this elite cavalry corps escorting me, the imperial examination system can be smoothly implemented!
If there are monsters and demons who dare to obstruct the implementation of the imperial examination system, my cavalry will crush them all!"
"Your Majesty, I swear to be loyal to you and escort the imperial examination system!" Wang Ben clasped his fists heavily and said murderously.
If anyone attempts to harm your majesty or obstruct the imperial examination system, he, Wang Ben, will lead the cavalry corps to crush them.
The next day, the sun rose, and thousands of golden lights poured down, dispelling the endless darkness.
Wearing the imperial crown, imperial robes, and the Dingqin sword on his waist, Ying Zheng stepped into the Qilin Hall like a dragon and a tiger.
He ascended the throne in the awe-inspiring eyes of the civil and military officials in the court and sat down domineeringly.
All officials immediately saluted the First Emperor.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers said, and then stood up.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said, "Left Prime Minister, read my imperial examination order to all the officials!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Si clasped his fists, stood out of the court with his head held high, and took out the thick stack of imperial examination system materials.
All the officials were very curious.
I wonder what the paper in Li Si's hand is?
Li Si opened the bound materials and read them aloud.
When some ministers learned that the imperial examination system was to select civil and military officials from the ordinary civilian class, they couldn't help but explode.
"How can those low-class people be suitable for being officials?"
"Low-class people are only worthy of being dominated and ruled!"
"..."
Now, they finally know why the right prime minister Feng Quji, Shusun Tong and other officials strongly opposed your majesty's establishment of a temple to vindicate King Zhou!
It turned out that it was a trigger for your majesty to promote the imperial examination system!
Once the imperial examination system is fully implemented, the officialdom will no longer be the private territory of the powerful and wealthy. A large number of low-class people will step in and sit on an equal footing with them, dividing their interests!
How can the powerful and wealthy officials who have always been high and mighty adapt to this?
Of course, not all wealthy and powerful officials are opposed to the imperial examination system.
Some officials who really care about the Qin Dynasty and are loyal to your majesty support the imperial examination system with both hands.
They know that the court is firmly occupied and controlled by powerful and wealthy officials, which is extremely unfavorable to the Qin Dynasty.
Now, with the repression of the founding emperor Qin Shihuang, who is a man of great talent and majesty, the powerful and wealthy officials dare not act recklessly.
But what if a new emperor who is not majestic enough comes to power after Qin Shihuang's death?
Will the court still be ruled by the emperor?
That is not necessarily the case!
At that time, the powerful and wealthy officials will collude with each other to fight against the imperial power, and begin to plunder the people's fat and fat to enrich the powerful and wealthy, making the people of Qin live in misery.
In this way, it will not be long before the people rise up and overthrow the court!
When Ying Zheng saw that his ministers had opinions about the imperial examination system, he stood up and said coldly:
"You want to stop me from carrying out the imperial examination order?"
The First Emperor's words fell, and all the ministers were as silent as cicadas!
Those officials who came from the powerful clans or had the support of the powerful clans behind them all shut up and dared not speak!
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, Shu Suntong and others are still in prison, and the scars on their buttocks have not yet healed!
If they confront His Majesty now, there will be absolutely no good fruit to be gained.
"Your Majesty, the implementation of the imperial examination order will be of great benefit to the Qin Dynasty. I absolutely agree with it!" Li Si was the first to express his position.
"I agree, too!"
"My minister, I also support the implementation of the imperial examination order!"
“…”
Some of Ying Zheng's closest officials, such as Meng Yi, also came forward to express their support.
Ying Zheng had already expressed his anger with them beforehand.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Okay, very good! You are all far-sighted and world-minded people who can put aside the selfish interests of one clan and one person for the sake of the entire Qin Dynasty!"
Ying Zheng changed the subject and said majestically:
"Pass on my edict:
From today onwards, the imperial examination order of the Qin Dynasty will be issued.
Li Si was the chief official in implementing the imperial examination order and was fully responsible for this matter!
In addition, the liberal arts and martial arts examinations will be held next spring, and the examiner for the liberal arts examinations will also be Li Si!
The chief examiner of the martial arts examination is Wang Ben!
Meng Yi is responsible for the legal supervision. Anyone who violates the law, whether they are civilians or officials, will be severely punished! "
"No!" Li Si, Wang Ben, and Meng Yi said with fists in their hands.
As Qin Shihuang ordered.
Soon, the imperial examination order spread throughout the counties and counties in the Qin Dynasty.
It caused huge repercussions within the Qin Dynasty.
Huaiyin.
In front of a simple cemetery in the suburbs.
A down-and-out young man put down his sword, knelt down and kowtowed three times, his eyes filled with longing and determination as he said:
"Mom, do you know?
The First Emperor has implemented the imperial examination order, and all people who are determined to serve the imperial court can participate in the imperial examination.
The next spring, the first civil and military examinations will be held.
The child has applied for the martial arts examination and will definitely win the top prize in martial arts!
One day, when you are a general, your child will place thousands of households around the cemetery to worship you! "
Third, thank you all for collecting, voting, and rewarding! Thanks to book friend Bloody Flame for the 100 book coins reward!
