After the announcement was made, Ying Zheng didn't stay long, and Cheng Yu didn't stay too long either. The two brothers left together.
"I have fulfilled your request, so you should take the lead, right?"
Ying Zheng tilted his head slightly, with a smile on his face.
Cheng Yu smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, but Brother Wang, you have to help keep an eye on it. I don't have much experience."
"I know I wouldn't trust it all to you. Prime Minister Lu will also help."
Cheng Yu nodded slightly: "With Prime Minister Lu's help, I feel more confident."
The two brothers were talking about the first scientific examination of Qin State.
It will be five years since the establishment of Universal Academy, and it is time for the students inside to find a way out.
Originally, the scientific examination could be taken in the previous year, but the completion of the county-level academies was quite busy, and the students in the academies were admitted a little later.
In order to promptly replenish students for many academies after the scientific examination, time was delayed for a year.
In the Qin State's scientific examination, all students from academies above the county level can participate in the scientific examination, except foreigners.
Yes, you must be a student of the academy to be eligible to take the scientific examination, even if you are a disciple of a powerful eunuch family.
This was a deliberate rule to imprison the disciples of powerful eunuch families in the palace to prevent them from causing trouble.
Of course, the current method of becoming an official in the Qin State is not only scientific examination, but also recommendation.
It's just that the recommender and the recommended person have joint and several responsibilities. If something happens, they will be implicated. This is not the case in the scientific examination.
It is foreseeable that when the scientific examination continues, it will be regarded as an orthodox means of becoming an official, and a chain of contempt will definitely form in the officialdom.
In addition, although foreign students can also take the scientific examination, the difficulty is higher.
If a student from the Qin State can become an official at 80 points, then a student from the Six Kingdoms can reach 85 points.
It's a little more difficult, but the difference isn't too big.
The Qin State's scientific examination is a subject-based examination, which mainly trains technical officials. Of course, if you want to climb to a high position, you must be an official with excellent overall quality.
Students who have passed the assessment have a one-year probationary period, which is also an internship period. Each student will stay and the outstanding ones will be promoted to a higher level.
Those who have not passed the exam can either make a living on their own or wait for the next scientific exam.
When the first batch of students adapt to their positions and play their roles, and before the second batch of students take the scientific examinations, Qin will definitely expand, otherwise there will not be enough positions.
From this perspective, the problem of students who failed is not a big problem at all. With the rapid expansion of Qin State, there will only be a shortage of talents, and the difficulty of the exam will be reduced accordingly.
When is it saturated?
The world will be saturated when the Qin officials are full.
Qin can give some power to the powerful officials of the six cooperating countries, but it must have the ability to evade them at any time!
Let the old powerful officials of the six countries realize that the Qin State cannot survive without them, and that someone can replace them at any time, so that they will be more honest.
The first time is always the most important. You have to make a good start and not make any mistakes, so Chenglong still has some pressure.
Of course, Cheng Xi will not do it himself. He will discuss the general direction with Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei and relevant senior officials, and let Li Si be responsible for the specific implementation.
He believed that Li Si must have tried his best to do a good job, even if he stayed up late every day and lost his hair.
Because the benefits of this are very great.
First of all, the credit is definitely not small. If you do a good job, your promotion is a sure thing.
With Cheng Xi as his backing, Ying Zheng also has some good feelings for Li Si, so he will definitely not be fooled into getting promoted, and it will definitely be good to reach the rank of Qing.
Maybe he could even reach the level of Shangqing and directly surpass Han Fei's position.
Secondly, it can also leave a mark in history. This change in the way of becoming an official will definitely leave a mark in history.
Finally, you can also compile connections to gain potential political power.
There are so many benefits, even with Li Si’s ambition, it’s impossible not to have a 007 attitude!
"Brother, do you want to have a sword show together?"
"Speaking of which, we haven't competed for a long time."
After walking for a while, Ying Zheng suddenly became interested when he remembered that Cheng Yu was getting married and everyone had grown up.
"OK."
"I also want to see how much Brother Wang has improved after Mr. Gai Nie's teaching..."
Cheng Yu pulled away from his thoughts and said in the tone of a senior pointing his back.
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You can't use your internal strength, just compete with swords."
"If you don't use internal force, you don't need internal force."
"Brother Wang, you don't think you can defeat me like this, do you?"
"No way? No way?" Cheng Yu winked and said.
Ying Zheng slapped Cheng Yu on the shoulder and said with a confident smile: "At least I won't lose."
Chenglong didn't care after being slapped, and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Gai Nie taught Brother Wang how to break the Thunder Sword Technique?"
In the art of swordsmanship, Cheng Yu is not as serious as Gai Nie.
In fact, his attainments in swordsmanship are not as good as many others, because he has not understood the meaning of the sword.
"Yes, are you scared?"
"How is that possible?" Cheng Yu said with a disdainful smile.
"If you lose, you have to give me back everything I lost to you before."
"Can."
It doesn't matter if Gai Nie teaches it. In actual combat, it's ever-changing and it may not necessarily be useful.
"Then go quickly."
"Zhao Gao, go and get ready."
"Here."
Half an hour later, Ying Zheng sent the bitter-faced Cheng Xi out of the palace gate with a smile on his face.
To be honest, Cheng Xiu is a little doubtful about life...
Unexpectedly, he was really defeated by Ying Zheng in swordsmanship.
This was the first time he had been defeated in a sword duel with Ying Zheng. In the past, even if he was younger, Ying Zheng could not defeat him.
Although I didn't use my internal strength this time, Yingzheng's government affairs were complicated, so his free time was allocated to spending time with his elders, concubines, children, reading, etc.
In this way, it is incredible that Ying Zheng can improve his swordsmanship to the point where he can defeat him.
I can only say that self-disciplined people are really exaggerating!
He used to be very self-disciplined, but since his cultivation reached the peak of a master, he has become very casual and only has fixed training time every day.
Of course, if self-discipline and hard work are effective, he will not be casual.
In fact, when he has reached this level of cultivation, the word "enlightenment" is far more important than the word "cultivation".
Originally, he planned to let Ying Zheng win after a hard fight.
It could be regarded as fulfilling Ying Zheng's small wish and making his brother happy, but he did not expect that he would actually be defeated.
To be honest, if Ying Zheng had not been born into an imperial family, he would have been able to get a glimpse of the realm of a sword master with his natural beauty and self-discipline in the sword.
Extraordinary people are excellent at anything.
With Ying Zheng's force, if the kings of the seven kingdoms fight together, Ying Zheng can definitely say that everyone except him is happy.
To be honest, he is really not strong enough for Ying Zheng to kill, he is too weak.
Of course, in Cheng Yu's mind, this kind of thing is just like a small wave on the lake, fleeting.
Before leaving the palace, Cheng Xi had forgotten all about it.
After leaving the palace and returning to the mansion, Cheng Xiu found Xiu Niang and asked her to help find things.
Cheng Xiu only knows the traces of a few of the things he won in the past, and most of them don’t know where they were thrown.
Only Xiu Niang, the housekeeper who had been following him, knew.
When Xiu Niang heard about it, she couldn't laugh or cry, but she followed the bet and found all the things.
More than half of the things they won from Ying Zheng were of extraordinary value, but Cheng Yu and Xiu Niang naturally didn't care about those extraneous things.
In fact, Ying Zheng doesn't care. First, if he wins, he can regain his brother's face in kendo.
Second, I miss the time when the brothers used to practice sword fighting together.
It doesn't matter whether everything is in order or not, whether it is sent back or not.
After moving the things onto the carriage, Cheng Yu sent someone to take the things to the palace.
After all, it was a bit embarrassing for him not to enter the palace...
Ying Zheng was reviewing the memorial when he received it, and his review speed became much faster after that.
Although I don't mind it, it still smells good if I can get it back.
Cheng Yu gathered the women in the mansion and announced that Concubine Yan was his wife.
This time the reaction of the girls was very dull. Anyway, it was either this or that.
Afterwards, Cheng Yu announced again that they had been awarded the title of husband, and this time all the girls were beaming with joy.
Once they become husbands, they are different from ordinary concubines. At least it is impossible to buy, sell or give them away.
In the past, they were respected by others because of their status as adults, but now no one dares to look down upon them just by themselves.
Cheng Xi is not a person who likes to walk at night in brocade clothes. His own contribution here must not be exaggerated, but must be told truthfully.
After listening to the operation and efforts behind the scenes, the girls were moved, and the resentment in their hearts was completely dissipated.
How could there be no opinion?
After all, there are already a lot of people, and two women have to share it, and the share is still big.
It's just that for various reasons, some don't show it at all, and some show it a little bit.
Even Frightened Salamander has some slight objections. After all, the more people there are, the less time she spends with her.
However, now that Chenglong, a member of the royal family and a top dignitary, has done this for them, they still have opinions that are really ignorant.
After looking at all the powerful people in the world, no one in the world can do this...
Even if you look at the men in the world, there are not many who can take good care of their women.
It can be said that Chenglong is an alternative among alternatives.
The atmosphere is really harmonious now.
The next day, Cheng Yu went to the palace and brought Concubine Yan and Moon God to the mansion, so that they could get to know the women they knew.
When Concubine Yan and Moon God learned about the situation, they naturally had to dress up.
Dressed like this, not only does it make you stand out from the crowd, but it also makes you the twin stars in the night sky.
They cannot cover up the light of other women, but they are still the two brightest stars.
Moreover, the aura of the two women is stronger than the other. Even if they accidentally let go, they will put a lot of pressure on little goldfish like Mrs. Hu, Hu Meiren, and Lan Xin.
Yan Fei and Cheng Xi sat in the middle hall, Moon God sat in the first place on the right, and Jing Salamander sat on the left.
There is no designation for the other women when they become adults, so they can sit wherever they like.
With this kind of operation, in terms of status in the mansion, Yan Fei is the only sister, Yueshen and Jingyu are the first sisters, and everyone else has the same status, so they can be called whatever they want.
In fact, Xiu Niang could be ranked first based on her qualifications, but Cheng Xi didn't want him to get involved.
Not surprisingly, the two sisters, Luna and Yan Fei, will definitely have to fight in the future, and Cheng Yu doesn’t want Xiu Niang to get involved.
As for Jing Salamander, he has an indifferent temperament and does not fight or grab. His own strength is sufficient and he has the capital not to get involved in the fight between his fellow apprentices and sisters.
As expected, it won't take long for Jingyu to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation and be promoted to a master of swordsmanship.
Cheng Yu sensed subtle changes in Frightened Salamander and felt strange. He once asked Frightened Salamander the reason when they were sleeping together.
Because logically speaking, Jing Salamander has not really taken action for a long time, and it would be good if his cultivation does not stagnate.
Why can one's cultivation progress steadily?
The time he fought against Zi Nu, Jing Salamander didn't show any real intentions at all, and had no killing intention at all.
Jingyu said that it was because her sword intention changed and became a guardian, protecting the life she has now and protecting her future life.
At that time, Cheng Yu was quite surprised when he heard Jing Salamander's answer.
Can the intention of the sword be changed midway?
He hasn't heard of it.
It has to be said that Jing Salamang is very talented in the way of swordsmanship. She is worthy of being the only female Tianzi first-class killer who emerged from the bloody storm in Luowang.
Destroying Soul is different from Duanpo. The two women joined Luo Wen halfway and have their own pasts, while Jingyu was trained by Luo Wen since childhood.
After the seats were assigned, the ladies served tea to Concubine Yan in turn, starting with the Moon Goddess.
In such a serious occasion, the moon god did not dare to mess around and behaved himself.
If she messes up, Yan Fei will be furious, and she will directly teach her a lesson.
In terms of strength, Moon God is half a step behind Yan Fei.
The most important thing is that it will cause Chenglong's dissatisfaction.
Such indifference and lack of appreciation will definitely lead to punishment.
From the beginning of Moon God to the end of Lan Xin, all women behaved well, and Concubine Yan was also kind to all the girls.
The girls thought that Yan Fei and Yue Shen had good tempers. In fact, only Cheng Yu knew what kind of temperament the two girls had...
The women of the Yin Yang family are all murderous beings, especially those at the top, like the king among the Gu insects.
After serving tea to Concubine Yan, it was time to serve tea to Moon God and Jing Salamander.
Since the Moon God has the status of beauty, paying respect to the Moon God first, and then to the Amazing Salamander is equivalent to drawing a semicircle, with the orchid heart at the end.
It has to be said that Lan Xin keeps her profile very low. In terms of qualifications, not many people can overpower her.
Maybe it’s because the sisters all have unique skills and are hard to mess with?
Mrs. Hu and Hu Meiren don't have any unique skills, but they are biological sisters, so the advantage of one plus one is definitely greater than two.
Xiu Niang is also good at martial arts, and her qualifications are much higher than hers. Lan Xin, the little manager, is under the control of Xiu Niang, the big manager.
Lan Xin is responsible for managing the dancers and musicians in the mansion.
I accepted Lan Xin in the first place simply because she looked like the head lady from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Being so knowledgeable is endearing, and I can spend more time with her in the future.
Hmm... Water helps all things without fighting, and without fighting, it feels like Lan Xin has received guidance from an expert.
According to him, it was either Xiu Niang or Jing Salamander, and the three of them were already close.
After serving tea, Cheng Xiu left, leaving the space to the women to adjust themselves.
If there is no major conflict in the affairs of the back house, it is best for a man not to interfere, unless the mistress cannot resolve it or something goes wrong.
On the third day, Ying Zheng's royal edict was officially issued and announced to the world.
There are two royal edicts in total, one is the edict granting marriage, and the other is the edict of canonization.
The wedding date of Cheng Xi and Yan Fei is scheduled for February 25th.
The imperial edict of canonization caused some small waves, but they were fleeting and could not cause any waves at all.
The wedding of the son of the late king, the younger brother of the King of Qin, and the head of the Marquis of Che was naturally quite grand, second only to the weddings of kings and princes of other countries.
The organizers are the Fengchang Mansion of the imperial court and the Shaofu representing the royal family. Such a scene can be regarded as both a family affair and a state affair.
With Fengchang Mansion and Shaofu Mansion at the front, Yonghou Mansion doesn't have to worry too much.
As Ying Zheng's imperial edict spread throughout the country, the people of Qin soon learned about Cheng Yu's wedding.
Cheng Yu is no ordinary royal prince. The previous three titles are each more important than the last, and the title of Chehou is the most valued title by the Qin State.
Because the position of Yonghou represents huge meritorious service, Qin State attaches great importance to meritorious service, which is respected by the whole Qin State.
Don't think that he is inconspicuous and does not have a strong sense of presence in the Qin government. In fact, his prestige is very high.
Therefore, although it is not as good as a national wedding, there are many places and people in Qin to celebrate it.
But before the big wedding, there is another small wedding, which is to marry the moon goddess, which is scheduled for February 15th.
Since the status of the Moon God requires women in high palaces to be paid, the etiquette is also a bit more complicated.
Fortunately, the people in charge of the Yonghou Mansion are already familiar with it.
Especially in the past six months, people have been entering the house continuously. Although there are a few more etiquettes, the progress is still very fast.
This time, in addition to Concubine Yan and others, Da Siming, Shao Siming, and Yun Zhongjun attended the wedding of the Moon God.
Da Siming and Shao Siming are here, and Yun Zhongjun is in Xianyang.
As for the troubled couple Xiang Jun and Mrs. Xiang, the home couple can't make it.
They will not attend until Concubine Yan and Cheng Xi's wedding.
Although Cheng Xi was marrying another woman, Concubine Yan was very open-minded.
After all, she is the winner, and her wedding is much more exciting than Luna's.
After all, Concubine Yan is the official wife. No matter how to improve the status of other women, Concubine Yan's status must be highlighted.
Of course, this situation also has the benefits of the times. After all, it is an era when men have three wives and four concubines in a legal, reasonable and polite manner.
Women in this era think differently.
On the night of the eighth day of February, after a series of procedures, Cheng Yu finally pushed open the wedding room where the Moon God was.
To be honest, the wedding dress is also very beautiful on Luna, but after all it is not as good as Luna's original Yin Yang family dress.
Cheng Xi sat on the bed and discussed with Luna about changing clothes...
Luna was a little puzzled, but when Cheng Xiu praised her for wearing Yin Yang family clothes that best suited her temperament and looked the most beautiful, Luna compromised.
So, the Moon God ordered the confidant maid brought from the Yin Yang family to get it.
Since Luna is already married, her personal belongings are naturally brought here. From now on, she will go to work during the day and return home at night.
Soon Luna changed into the clothes of the Yin Yang family.
Cheng Xi also deliberately avoided the Moon God to change clothes, so as not to lose the sense of mystery.
The long light purple hair is tied up with a sky blue crystal hairpin, which is decorated with silver branches, leaves, flowers and silver beads, and a strand of hair hangs on each side.
Dark patterns of branches and leaves reach her waist, she wears a nearly transparent sky-blue gauze, light blue crystal earrings, and an ice-blue drop-shaped hanging bead on her forehead.
The outer cover is a light blue short robe, with a moon-shaped pattern on the back, a light blue dark pattern and a dark blue collar, and a navy, purple, blue and dark blue girdle around the waist.
Wearing a navy blue wide-sleeved long skirt and a moon-white cross-collar middle coat, the long skirt touches the floor, with violet stripes on the hem and a flower-shaped skirt.
The pink lip gloss was replaced with red lip gloss, which gave her an ethereal and ethereal temperament, cold and dusty, noble and mysterious temperament, just like a fairy from the Moon Palace.
In addition, Yueshen paid attention to showing off her figure. She no longer had the casual attitude before, and her curves were much more protruding.
Although she is still a little inferior to Yan Fei, she can still be said to be curvy and has a good figure.
After changing clothes, it didn't take long for the room to become dark.
Today is the fifteenth day, and the bright moon in the sky is big and round.
The bright moonlight shines through the window into the smooth floor inside, flowing slowly like water. As time goes by, there is more and more water on the floor.
When he woke up the next morning, Cheng Xi could only say that the Moon God was worthy of being the Moon God. He really looked like the bright moon!
