Chapter 72 The Imperial Examination Decree, The World Shakes
Chapter 72 The imperial examination order was issued, and the world was shocked
On the way back to the palace.
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything.
He had no choice but to teach Fusu and Li Si earnestly: "From now on, we should not play mahjong with Mr. Xiang again!"
"Father is right!"
"Your Majesty is right!"
Fusu and Li Si nodded in agreement.
What a painful realization this is!
…
In fact, Chen Qilin really didn't cheat. He killed everyone last night purely because of his skills.
The three bosses, Ying Zheng, Fu Su, and Li Si, were very trustworthy. Soon after they returned, they immediately sent someone to deliver 600,000 gold (200,000 gold per person).
They were really hemorrhaging this time!
Chen Qilin was very happy and without hesitation, he immediately exchanged all 600,000 gold and property into Tiandao points.
[Ding! The host’s Tiandao point balance is 1105. Do you want to increase your cultivation level? 】
The system beep sounded.
Chen Qilin did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Spend 1,000 Heavenly Dao Points to improve your cultivation."
Boom~
Suddenly, a powerful and mysterious energy was injected into the body...
Chen Qilin clearly sensed that his combat power was increasing rapidly.
This feeling is very good, and all the cells in the body are cheering for joy, just like becoming an immortal.
[Ding! The host’s cultivation has been successfully upgraded to the second level of the Golden Core Realm! The balance of Tiandao Points is 105 points.]
Chen Qilin stood up and stretched his muscles. He was very satisfied with his condition.
He called Wang Ying and Xiao Hei over, gave them some instructions, and then left Xianyang and headed straight for the treasures of the Huns' royal court.
Tiandao Tower was left to Wang Ying and Xiao Hei.
…
A few days later.
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded outside Xianyang City, as if there was an earthquake. A cavalry regiment of one hundred thousand light and heavily armored troops marched forward in a mighty manner, carrying smoke and dust rising into the sky.
The military's majestic killing force was like an iron-blooded army emerging from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. It had a strong sense of oppression and made people breathless.
This cavalry regiment was led by Wang Ben. On His Majesty's orders, he led the regiment back to take up residence in Xianyang.
After the cavalry regiment settled in the camp, Wang Ben immediately went to the palace to resume his duties.
Royal study room.
"Your Majesty, Wang Ben, pays homage to your Majesty!" Wang Ben, dressed in military uniform, saluted respectfully.
Ying Zheng stepped forward to help him up: "Marquis Tongwu, no courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Ben said.
Ying Zheng looked at him: "Are all the 100,000 cavalry properly settled?"
"Your Majesty, everything has been settled!"
"How many infantry can these 100,000 cavalry defeat?"
"Your Majesty, one hundred thousand 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 regiment protecting me, the imperial examination system can be implemented smoothly!
If there are demons, ghosts, ghosts, and monsters who dare to obstruct the implementation of the imperial examination system, my cavalry will crush them all!"
"O minister, I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty to the death and to protect the imperial examination system!" Wang Ben clasped his fists heavily and said with murderous intent.
If anyone attempts to harm His Majesty or obstruct the imperial examination system, Wang Ben will definitely lead his cavalry regiment to destroy them.
The next day, the sun rose, and thousands of golden lights poured down, dispelling the endless darkness.
Ying Zheng, wearing an imperial crown on his head, an imperial robe, and a Ding Qin sword on his waist, stepped into the Qilin Hall like a dragon walking like a tiger.
Under the awe-inspiring eyes of the civil and military officials in the court, he ascended the throne and sat down domineeringly.
All the officials immediately saluted the First Emperor.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "You all love me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the ministers said before standing up.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Sidao and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, read out my imperial examination order to all your ministers!"
"No, Your Majesty!"
Li Si clasped his fists, stood up from the courtroom with his head held high, and took out the thick stack of imperial examination documents.
All the ministers were very curious.
I wonder what the paper in Li Si’s hand is?
Li Si opened the bound information and read it loudly.
Some ministers couldn't help but get upset when they learned that the imperial examination system was to select civil and military officials for ordinary civilians.
"How can those low-level untouchables be suitable to be officials?"
"Inferior people only deserve to be dominated and ruled!"
"..."
Now, they finally know why the Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, Shusun Tong and other officials strongly opposed His Majesty's efforts to build a temple to rehabilitate King Zhou!
It turns out that was an introduction for His Majesty to implement the imperial examination system!
Once the imperial examination system is fully implemented, the officialdom will no longer be the private domain of the powerful and wealthy. A large number of untouchables will step in, sit on an equal footing with them, and divide their interests!
How can the powerful and powerful officials who have always been at the top adapt to this?
Of course, not all wealthy families and powerful officials opposed the imperial examination system.
Some officials who sincerely care about the Qin Dynasty and are loyal to His Majesty support the imperial examination system with both hands.
They knew that the court was firmly occupied and controlled by the powerful and wealthy officials, which was extremely detrimental to the Qin Dynasty.
Now, Qin Shihuang, the great and majestic founding emperor of the country, suppressed the situation, and the powerful officials did not dare to act arrogantly.
But what happens when Qin Shihuang dies and a new emperor comes who is not majestic enough?
Does the emperor still have the final say in the court?
That’s not necessarily the case!
At that time, the powerful and powerful officials will collude to fight against the imperial power and begin to plunder the people's wealth to enrich the powerful and powerful, making the people of Qin miserable.
In this way, it is not far away before the people rise up and overthrow the imperial 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, kept silent 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 healed yet!
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 agree with 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 people with the world in mind. You can abandon the selfish interests of one clan and one person and think about the entire Qin Dynasty!"
Ying Zheng changed the topic 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 carrying out the imperial examination 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 examiner of the martial arts examination is Wang Ben!
Meng Yi is responsible for the legal supervision, and all those who violate 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.
Following Qin Shihuang's order.
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.
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, I will build thousands of households around the cemetery to worship you!"
