"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master has just visited General Wang Jian and intends to invite disciples of the Wang family to study in the school. He will also continue to invite the remaining nobles and disciples of all ethnic groups to enter the school."
In the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng listened to the report of the Secret Shadow Guard, and paused slightly while holding the chess piece in his hand, "Huh? This is not something that sir can do. If something goes wrong, there will be consequences. Let's wait and see what happens.
.”
And the person sitting opposite Ying Zheng playing chess with him was not a wise advisor, but General Meng Wu.
A pawn on the chessboard of a Mongolian military general walked across the border between the two countries, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "Your Majesty, news has come from the Zhao Kingdom that King Zhao has sent 200,000 troops to attack Yan, vowing to annex the Yan Kingdom.
If Zhao is allowed to succeed, it will add obstacles to Qin's plan to unify the world. At this time, should we prioritize the destruction of Zhao? Why don't we postpone the exam policy for now?"
Ying Zheng was noncommittal and continued to walk calmly and contentedly. He said half-jokingly: "Haha, Zhao must be destroyed. This is why I came to you specifically. Now the examination policy has affected most of the military nobles in the country, and you are the only one."
The Meng family stayed out of the incident safely."
Meng Wu sighed with a look of luck: "It's just luck. My father, Meng Ao, moved to the Qin Kingdom, and his foundation is naturally not comparable to that of other families. I am also happy to be at ease and not be involved in the turmoil of this matter."
"There must be men of suitable age in the Meng family."
"Of course this exists."
"Select those with good talents and send them to school. In the future, Daqin will need these younger generations to build it."
Ying Zheng's words shocked him. King Qin clearly wanted to implement the examination system. Since the Meng family was an outsider, they were not as eye-catching as the Wang family in this matter.
Now that Ying Zheng has spoken about this matter in person, it is obviously the situation in Zhao State that has forced him to speed up his pace.
Meng Wu hesitated for a long time, obviously he was not just thinking about the chessboard.
Finally taking this step, he said with some worry: "Your Majesty intends to resolve the turmoil over the examination policy before Zhao Guo takes over Yan State, and then attack Zhao in one fell swoop? Isn't this too eager for quick success and quick gain? If both things are wasted, what will happen to me?"
Qin is in great trouble."
"This is exactly what I and the Imperial Master meant. They must both succeed at the same time, otherwise our Great Qin will have a difficult road ahead." Ying Zheng did not hesitate at all and walked neatly.
"So, I understand. Your Majesty, don't worry. After I return, I will officially announce that the children of the school age will be allowed to report to school."
"So good."
The two gradually returned to the chessboard to compete with each other, and finally ended up with a kill and a draw.
Satisfied, Ying Zheng stood up, stretched twice, and said with a smile: "Well, my chess skills have improved a lot, and I can actually tie with the general in this chess game."
Meng Wu bowed and said modestly: "The king is busy with government affairs, but he still has such chess skills, so I am slacking off. If there is nothing else to do, I will not disturb the king."
"Well, go ahead, General."
"I excuse myself."
Ying Zheng looked at Meng Wu's retreating figure, and thoughts began to fly in his mind.
Sir, I have done a lot for you. It depends on how you respond to me. But don’t let me down~
After a while, a waiter came to report, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master is outside the palace asking for an audience."
Ying Zheng was startled, sat back on his seat, and told the waiter to come quickly.
Soon Lu Yan came to the palace with a book.
He handed over his hand to announce the good news and said: "Your Majesty, regarding the implementation of the examination policy and the admission of civilian students from Guizhou and various domestic disciples, the school has been basically completed, and the school will officially open soon."
Ying Zheng was quite surprised. This conversation was completely different from what he expected. He asked doubtfully: "Huh? So fast? Could it be that Sir, you are deceiving me? You just visited Wang Jian and this matter was easily solved?"
Recently, officials of all sizes in the court are probably being monitored by secret guards, and Lu Yan himself is the top priority. He knew all this, and he was not surprised. He replied: "I did persuade General Wang Jian and asked him to lead the various parties."
Someone from the family is enrolled in the school, but if this school wants to open, it needs to borrow someone from the king."
"Who to borrow?"
"I want to ask the king to be the principal of this school."
Ying Zheng suddenly realized something in his heart. He secretly praised Lu Yan for handling it well. On the surface, he just smiled and said, "Sir, you created the examination system, built the school, formulated the curriculum and teaching materials, and finally let me be the principal. Isn't it inappropriate?"
Lu Yan, of course, continued to persuade: "There is no other principal of this school except the king, and only the king can control the situation, so that this school, where common people, clans, and military nobles attend, can develop healthily and cultivate students for our Daqin."
Qualified talents.”
"So that's the case, then I will do my duty."
"Yan also specially added a new chapter to "Morality and Law" to talk about the country and the relationship between the country and the family. This is the manuscript I have prepared. Please read it."
Zhao Gao took the book from Lu Yan's hand and presented it to Ying Zheng. The latter only opened a few pages and his expression relaxed, and then he became even more excited.
“A country is made up of countless families, and family is an indispensable part of the country. A family needs the country to provide a stable social environment to ensure the normal social activities of the family. If the country leaves the home, it does not matter; without the home, there is no country.
Support, the country is just a castle in the air. Loving the country is like loving the family, and loving the country is even more important than loving the family. How wonderful!"
No wonder Lu Yan dared to use an examination system to send most people to school, but he was not afraid that these future pillars of the Qin State would be labeled as Lu Yan's family and have them roasted on the fire. Qin Wang Zheng
He is the principal, and this newly added teaching material is a good way to break down the stubborn nobles, so that the vortex of factional fighting can be avoided as much as possible.
Ying Zheng was very satisfied with this and said proactively: "I have already informed Meng Wu. As soon as he takes action, those who are watching in the country will know that this is my intention. Sir, this school can be opened as soon as possible."
"The king is wise."
"Okay, sir, you handled this matter beautifully. Zhao Yan and Xiong Han thought that the great Qin Dynasty would fall into turmoil because of this. They were really wishful thinking."
King Qin Yingzheng stood up, looked toward the east with eagle eyes, and the aura of the king began to fly, "Sir, you should also know that Zhao Yan is already attacking the Yan Kingdom. This plan to destroy Zhao can be implemented."
Lu Yan lowered his head and replied: "Yan has already made preparations. As soon as the domestic school matter is settled, he will carry out the strategy of destroying Zhao."
"Okay, tomorrow I will summon several important ministers into the palace, and we will discuss the strategy of destroying Zhao together. The Zhao Kingdom is a thorn in the side of our Great Qin, and I can finally pull it out."
The King of Qin was so powerful that he finally waited for the battle to destroy the country, and it was the Zhao country that he deeply hated. At this moment, a surging wave surged in his heart.
Lu Yan looked equally excited, but in fact he was very tired. Because it was getting dark before he came to the palace, and today was another day without a home...
In the Imperial Prefecture
Nong Yu looked at the large long table in front of her and sighed helplessly, "Didn't your husband come back today?"
This long table was used for Lu Yan's family dinners, which still retained some of the habits of later generations. In the original Imperial Prefect's Mansion, every dinner, Lu Yan, Nong Yu, Gu Shuang, Ji Yan, Ehuang, Yifang, Xianxian, Jie,
Hui Liangyi, who was the first to join the National Preceptor's Office, can all have dinner together.
But now, the long table of nine people is missing four people.
Nongyu asked Hui Liangyi, "Where's Ayan? Why don't you come to eat again?"
Hui Liang Yi shook his head and sighed, "Oh~ servants have already been sent to her house. This child hasn't left the door for several days."
The three members of Fangfang's family were all there, but it was a pity that no one had any appetite for such a scene.
