Chapter 80: The Battle of the Foundation

Xianyang Palace, Imperial Study.

Ying Zheng looked at the questions of the palace examination for the military imperial examination in front of him, and a thoughtful look appeared on his majestic face.

The questions for the palace examination for the civil imperial examination were relatively easy to determine, and Ying Zheng, Fusu, and Li Si had decided on them half a month ago.

But Ying Zheng had been hesitating about the questions for the palace examination for the military imperial examination...

He, Fusu, Li Si, and Wang Ben chose several directions.

First, to discuss the classic battles during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Second, to discuss the Qin Dynasty's destruction of nomadic countries such as the Xiongnu in the north.

Third, to discuss the Qin Dynasty's future war preparations.

The military imperial examinations have gone through county examinations, prefecture examinations, and national examinations. There are already many specific assessments of military strength and warfare, such as personal physique, weapons, and battle formations, so there is no need to take more.

The palace examination for the military imperial examination ranks the thirty-six military scholars and selects the top three military scholars, which is to select the future military commander for the Qin Dynasty.

The selection of test questions is the most important.

The test questions should allow the military scholars who participate in the palace examination to fully demonstrate their strategic ability, stand at a very high position, analyze and control the overall situation, grasp the overall context of the war, and see the essence behind the war through the performance of the war.

Ying Zheng discussed with Li Si, Fusu and Wang Ben for a long time, but they did not finally decide.

Ying Zheng turned his eyes and said, "It seems that I have to go to see the teacher again!"

Ying Zheng believed in the teacher's vision very much.

"Your Majesty, it's almost lunch time. If we want to go, we should hurry up!" Wang Ben, a dry rice man, blinked and said.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "You fool, you only know how to eat!"

Fusu and Li Si listened to the conversation between His Majesty and Tongwu Hou and smiled.

They also praised the food at the teacher's house.

Wang Ben smiled and looked at His Majesty without saying anything, but he said in his heart: Your Majesty, you are different? Every time I go to see the master, I go at mealtime!

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Come here, prepare 50,000 gold for me!"

"Yes!" The eunuch beside him immediately took the order and left.

...

Tiandao Building, reception room.

Chen Qilin was cutting a big watermelon, eating the sweet and refreshing melon meat while watching the new show.

His daily life is to eat, drink, play, watch the new show, and calculate fortunes and cultivate immortality.

Eating, drinking, playing and new shows are the main colors of life.

[Ding! System warm reminder: Ying Zheng, Fusu, Li Si and Wang Ben came to Tiandao Building. ]

Chen Qilin heard the system's voice, looked at the time, and said with a slight smile: "Freeloader brother, or freeloader brother!"

Soon, Ying Zheng, Fusu and his party came to the reception room.

Chen Qilin smiled and greeted: "Your Majesty, Crown Prince, Left Prime Minister, Tongwu Hou, sit down and eat watermelon!"

Ying Zheng was not polite, he sat down directly, picked up a piece of watermelon and started to eat.

"Cheers! This melon is really delicious!" Ying Zheng gave a thumbs up.

Fusu, Li Si and Wang Ben also sat down. It has become their habit to sit on the sofa in Tiandao Tower.

After the three sat down, they also picked up the watermelon and ate it, and shouted: "Cheers, great luck!"

Chen Qilin went to the backyard and asked Wang Ying, who was preparing lunch, to prepare more.

Back in the living room, Chen Qilin sat down and looked at Ying Zheng who was eating melon and said: "I don't know why your majesty came to my Tiandao Tower today?"

"Sir, I, Fusu, Li Si, Wang Ben and I have been unable to determine the test questions for the martial arts palace examination..." Ying Zheng truthfully told the problem he encountered.

Papa!

After speaking, Ying Zheng clapped his hands, and immediately a guard brought in the treasure chest.

[Ding! The treasures in the treasure chest can be exchanged for 50 Tiandao points! 】

Chen Qilin smiled and looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite!"

"Sir, this is just a small token of respect!" Ying Zheng said.

Chen Qilin waved his sleeves, and several boxes of property disappeared without a trace.

[Ding! 50 Tiandao Points exchanged successfully! 】

Although Ying Zheng, Fusu and others had already seen the miraculous means of the teacher, every time they saw the property disappear out of thin air, they still couldn't hide their shock!

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and handed a document with many test questions to the teacher.

Chen Qilin took it and looked at it for a while, then said, "Your Majesty, choose [On the Battle of Changping] in the classic battle of the Spring and Autumn Period!"

"Sir, why choose Changping?" Ying Zheng asked.

Chen Qilin said:

"The Battle of Changping was a battle of national destiny between Qin and Zhao, and it was also the foundation battle for Qin to sweep away the six kingdoms and unify the world.

There are many aspects of this battle that can be extended and discussed in detail, from the perspective of the commander, the battlefield environment, the supply of food and grass, the diplomatic status, the national strength of Qin and Zhao, and so on.

Therefore, the overall view, strategic view, and tactical strategy of the military scholars will be tested.

As for the battle of the destruction of nomadic countries such as the Xiongnu by the Qin Dynasty and the battle of the future of the Qin Dynasty, these two directions are far less good than the "Battle of Changping".

Ying Zheng, Li Si and others fell into thought.

Soon, Wang Ying came to the reception room and bowed, telling the gentleman that the food was ready.

Chen Qilin said to Ying Zheng and others: "Your Majesty, let's talk in detail while eating!"

Ying Zheng and Fusu nodded.

Chen Qilin said: "Ying'er, serve the dishes!"

Very soon. A table of delicious dishes was placed on the table, including Zhuge grilled fish, roast suckling pig, roast goose, fried okra...

Chen Qilin even took a bottle of Wuliangye and opened it to drink with Ying Zheng, Fusu and others.

Wang Ben was drooling with greed.

Ying Zheng, Li Si and Fu Su were not much better.

After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over.

Chen Qilin and Ying Zheng discussed in detail why they chose to discuss the Battle of Changping.

In the end, Ying Zheng and Fu Su. Both Li Si and Wang Ben agreed with their husband's topic selection and decided to take the exam "On the Battle of Changping" in the martial arts examination a few days later.

After the topic was chatted, everyone had eaten and drank enough.

Ying Zheng, Fu Su, Li Si and Wang Ben Junchen each had their stomachs full and burped as if they were pregnant with Liujia.

The only thing to blame is the food at Mr.'s house, which is too delicious.

Unknowingly, Ying Zheng has gained at least ten pounds in the past year.

Chen Qilin stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Crown Prince, Zuo Xiang, and Marquis Tongwu, do you have anything important to do this afternoon?"

For some reason, Ying Zheng, Fu Su and Li Si always felt that their husband's smile was a bit eerie!

The three of them didn't answer immediately.

Wang Ben said naively: "Sir, I have nothing to do in the afternoon!"

He was wondering if he was going to stay with His Majesty for dinner. It would be a good relationship and he could have a good meal and enjoy the delicious food!

Chen Qilin smiled and patted Wang Bi on the shoulder and said, "Marquis Tongwu, then you stay!"

"Hey, that's good!" Wang Ben said happily.

Then, Chen Qilin said to Ying Zheng and the others:

"Your Majesty, the Left Prime Minister, and the Crown Prince, there are already two people playing mahjong. We only need two more to form a table!"

"Sir, I have more important things to do, so I'll take my leave first!"

"Sir, I have something to deal with!"

"Sir, there are many official duties waiting for me in the Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion. Please take my leave!"

After Ying Zheng, Fusu and Li Si finished speaking, they fled from Tiandao Tower like flying.

Play majiang?

Playing mahjong with your husband means lying on the chopping board and being slaughtered and bleeding!

The three of them killed a big pig last time!

Now, how dare you play mahjong with your husband!
