The rise of Tianzhu of Daqin

Chapter 339 Ying Zheng: You can figure it out
In the secret guard of the Qin Palace, the three princes and nine ministers of the empire are restless, and the king of Changge, Yingxuan, is really arrogant.

In Xianyang City, at the foot of King Ren, Yingxuan's shadow guards broke into their mansion at the order of Yingxuan, and dragged them to Qin Palace without any explanation.

When they came to Qin Palace, it was fine not to meet the first emperor, but instead they were brought to the Shadow Secret Guards, where they were detained.

The secret shadow guards outside the door were fully armed and sealed the water around the hall, preventing them from going out and outsiders from entering.

They wanted to reason with Yingxuan, but Yingxuan never showed up.

"Lawless, I must read his book like His Majesty."

"Okay, don't say a few words, if you know that he is the king of Hades, don't provoke him."

As there were more and more people in the hall, these ministers felt at ease. With so many ministers present, His Majesty would not agree to Yingxuan's swaying his mind.

"What does King Changge intend to do?"

At this moment, even Li Si couldn't make up his mind, one of the three princes and nine ministers of the empire and capable ministers counted as one, and all who could arrive had arrived.

Following Feng Quji's belated arrival, Yingxuan and Nei Shiteng finally appeared.

After scanning the crowd, he was sure that they were all knowledgeable imperial ministers, and there were no smug people, so Ying Xuan went straight to the point.

"I asked you to come here, I have something to do!"

As soon as Ying Xuan waved his hand, a secret shadow guard moved the table from outside and sat on the couch, and then someone put the theory of the academy students on the table.

"My lord, there are quite a few, and they are all here."

After Zhao Qingshan finished speaking, he led the Shadow Secret Guards out of the hall, closed the gate, and guarded outside the hall.

"This is the assessment strategy for academy students."

Ying Xuan said: "The assessment of the academy is to select talents for the empire. You are all ministers of the empire and know the empire very well, so I think you are the most suitable to evaluate these strategies."

Yingxuan's words are still very useful to the ministers of the empire.

"This is the academy's first assessment, and the number of disciples is not many, less than a thousand strategies."

Ying Xuan said: "I want each of you to choose ten strategies from them, and write your names at the end of the strategy."

"I don't know, what is Hou Ye's request for policy theory?"

Li Si asked, writing their names, it is a disguised form that they are recommending academy students to become officials, so they can't be careless.

"Of course there are requirements."

Ying Xuan said: "First, it is in line with the current situation of the Qin State. Whether it is people's livelihood or military affairs, it needs to have something to say, and you can't talk about it with words. It has nothing to say."

"Second, there is no need to pursue the wording and wording. As long as it can point out the bad government of Qin State, or put forward a political theory that benefits the country and the people, it is a good policy theory."

"Third, if you are undecided, you can stay and discuss together before making a decision; of course, you can also discuss with the king."

"Fourth, I don't require each of you to read all the policies, but you must ensure that at least two ministers have read each policy."

"Everyone, do you still have doubts?"

Ying Xuan said: "If you have no doubts, let's start. I am the chief examiner. To avoid suspicion, I won't participate."

"Everyone do what they want!"

There are not many ministers who review policy theories. If at least two students have read the policy theories, each student must review at least 100 policy theories.

If you savor it carefully, time is naturally not enough. After all, they still have to go to court tomorrow morning, so it takes skill to review and comment on policies.

Li Si looked at the theory in front of him, and his name had been sealed, but there were some things that couldn't be covered up, such as the academic thoughts of various schools of thought.

In the first essay, Li Si only glanced at the title, and knew that it was a policy essay by Confucian scholars, advocating the well-field system in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the ancient rituals of a gentleman.

Li Si glanced at it casually, and then threw aside the policy theory. The times are advancing, and those ancient systems are no longer suitable for Qin.

The second policy theory, "Governing the World by Inaction", Taoist knowledge still cannot satisfy Li Si. If it is inaction, the empire would need to spend countless financial resources to establish an academy and preliminarily formulate the ultimate talent selection.

I just don't know what to say!
The third policy theory is full of word games, and it looks like the handwriting of famous experts. The whole piece of policy theory is full of clever words and fickle words, without the slightest meaning.

……

The more Li Si looked at it, the more frightened he became. Strategies are what the schools of thought are best at, but the one who has stumbled the most is actually the schools of thought.

On the side of the aristocratic family, although they can hit the key points, they are all short-sighted, and few people see deep-level things.

Some strategies and theories, even if you see something deeper, there are many contradictions and loopholes in the words. You can tell at a glance that this is a disciple of a powerful family who knows the words of some elders, but only understands some superficial.

"I'm afraid it's not easy for a powerful family?"

In the blink of an eye, Li Si had read dozens of theories, far faster than others, but none of the theories could satisfy him.

"Govern the world with Confucianism, rule the country with law", when Li Si saw this topic, his eyes lit up instantly, and finally something useful appeared.

The rites of Confucianism formulate the ideological norms of the world; the laws of the Legalists enforce the behavioral norms of the world.

Confucianism and Legalism do their own things and are related to each other. If the two can be combined into one, it is indeed good.

At the end of the theory, Li Si solemnly wrote his name
This person is profound in Confucianism and Law, and Li Si vaguely guessed in his heart that this was the work of a disciple of Xiao Shengxian Zhuang.

With the review of the examiners, all the theories have also been selected.

"The Theory of All Qin in the World"

"Great River Water Control Strategy"

"Kyushu Society"

……

However, such wonderful policy theories are rare. After one round, none of the imperial ministers selected ten policy theories, exchanged the unselected policy theories, and continued to review them.

Now, the speed has slowed down, excellent people can stand out, and mediocre people can hardly be judged.

Which one is better, you need to read carefully, compare and make a choice.

After a sleepless night, when the ministers of the empire handed over the selected strategies to Yingxuan, they had dark circles, yawned, and looked tired.

"Thank you everyone!" Ying Xuan said politely.

"King Changge is being polite, it's all for sharing the worries of the empire." Li Si said politely.

"There is still some time before the morning court, and everyone is tired, so let's rest here."

"When it's time for the morning court, the Shadow Secret Guard will notify you, so we won't delay your morning court."

Yingxuan suggested that these imperial ministers had just finished their work for him, so they still need to care about what should be concerned.

"That's fine! Then disturb King Changge."

Li Si nodded, leaving the palace at this moment, returning home, there is no time to rest, and he has to rush back to the Qin Palace to attend the morning court, it is better not to go back.

"What did Li Xiang say? It's the king who disturbed me."

Ying Xuan said: "Then everyone, please rest. I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you."

"Come here, collect other policy theories, organize them into a file, and keep them properly without making mistakes."

After Ying Xuan ordered the Shadow Secret Guards to pack up the policy theory that was not selected, he took the selected policy theory and went to Zhangtai Palace.

In Zhangtai Palace, Yingzheng stayed up all night and had been waiting for Yingxuan for a long time.

"See Your Majesty!"

After Yingxuan saluted, he handed over a hundred policy proposals to Yingzheng.

"This is a policy selected by the ministers of the DPRK and China. Please read it, Your Majesty."

Yingzheng flipped through the two policy theories casually, and felt that they were unremarkable, so he stopped reading.

"There are so many theories!"

Ying Zheng said: "You work harder, pick out ten good policy theories for me, put them on my desk, and read them after I go to court."

"promise!"

Ying Xuan said, "What about other strategies?"

"You can figure it out. Select the best among them. If they are willing, they will be sent to serve as small officials in Qin County. If they are not willing, let them go back to the academy."

Ying Zheng asked, "How is the ovary doing?"

"The student's name is sealed, and the minister will not know it!"

Yingxuan said: "I also asked Zifang, although Zifang didn't say anything, but Xiang must be the most outstanding one."

"It's really bullying for Zifang and academy students to compete on the same stage."

Ying Zheng said: "Okay, it's time for me to go to prepare for the early court, you can choose a strategy here, after the court, I have something to tell you."
