my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 147 Meng Xibai Standing in Line
It's so cold, I left the warm nest at home and didn't wait, ran here and stood there stupidly, and then watched helplessly as that dog Zhao Ying ran to the palace every day——

For a moment, Hu Hai felt like he was standing outside drinking the northwest wind, just like a clown.

But unlike Zhao Ying, he is now a serious captain of the Forbidden Army. Many daily tasks require him to personally watch over him, and he dare not slack off at all. Naturally, he can't be like Zhao Ying, who finds excuses to go to the first emperor every day.

He couldn't figure it out, how could that bastard Zhao Ying go to the palace every day and still win the favor of the first emperor?

Of course, he didn't see that Zhao Ying held the memorials and reviewed them every day, handling the government affairs for the first emperor, otherwise his mentality would definitely explode on the spot.

But now, he can hold on.

After all, this dog just used to please the First Emperor. Zhao Gao had told him at the beginning that this dog would rub his shoulders and beat his back for the First Emperor, and would cook for the First Emperor himself from time to time.

They are all small means that cannot be used, what is the difference between them and servants?
Therefore, when Zhao Gao repeatedly hinted that he should be careful of Zhao Ying and run more into the palace, although he felt a little bit offended, he really didn't pay much attention.

That's it-

It's all his own life.

What he didn't know was that there were many things Zhao Gao didn't dare to tell him clearly.

Just like now, Zhao Ying sat there again, holding the memorial, and honestly became his toolman.In order to give a big blow to the remnants of the six countries who were making waves in the dark, the first emperor did not officially promote paper on a large scale before sending printed books to various places.

Therefore, the weight of these memorials is really not light.

Nowadays, the paper basically stays in China. Many people have heard of it and seen it, but they have never used it, and they don't know how much the production cost of this thing is.

However, after a while, it can basically be fully promoted.

Neither the first emperor nor Zhao Ying had the idea of ​​controlling this technology in their own hands.In order to completely get rid of the passive situation of lack of talents, education must be expanded. Only public papermaking and printing are the best choices.

After all, the single most important factor affecting school expansion today is the cost of education.

Books are too expensive!
With paper and printing, this difficulty no longer exists.If he wanted to, Emperor Shihuang could even use the help of these two technologies to quickly push the legalist theory to its peak.

The Six Kingdoms of Shandong Resist Legalist Theory?

It doesn't matter!
Ordinary people, some people are willing to learn.

They don't bother to care about Mohist Confucianism, or legalist farming, as long as they can read and write, they can get rid of their own class.

Do they care?

What they care about is an ascending channel!

A chance to learn!
But regarding this point, neither the First Emperor nor Zhao Ying tacitly mentioned it.It is true that the first emperor advocated legalism, but he did not want to see the theory of one family and one family name.

"I plan to hold a court meeting tomorrow to discuss the "Imperial Examination"—do you have anything to add in advance?"

Taking advantage of the break in the middle, Shi Huangdi lay on the rocking chair and swayed from side to side. His tone was a little casual, but if the words he said were spread, it would definitely be earth-shattering. I don't know how big a disturbance it would cause.

"Father, don't I need to explain myself?"

Zhao Ying raised his head in surprise.

Shi Huang glanced at him, seeing that he was just curious why he didn't need to show up, and then lazily looked away, waving his hands indifferently.

"No, this kind of thing, with me here, I don't need you to charge forward—you can concentrate on preparing for your marriage..."

Zhao Ying was slightly taken aback, then lowered his head to sort out the melodies in his hand, and replied softly.

"Yes……"

He understood that Emperor Shihuang was protecting him again and did not want him to be the target of public criticism.

The emergence of the imperial examination system will definitely arouse some people's sensitive nerves and cause a huge commotion.

But Zhao Ying is not afraid that this policy will fail.

Because the current emperor is the first emperor who spoke his mind, and the current court has not been established for a short time, and it has not really formed a situation where the Legalists rule the world.

When this system is released, it will definitely be another chaos in the court that is comparable to the dispute between the county system and the enfeoffment system.

No, it's even messier than it was back then.

Because this system, said to be the selection of talents, is actually a redistribution of power!
Whether it works or not, whoever makes this suggestion will be hated.

……

I was busy with the First Emperor in the morning, and I originally planned to go to the recruit camp in the afternoon, but another incident suddenly disrupted the plan.

Meng Xibai, the contemporary patriarch who has been out of court for many years, went uncharacteristically and entered Xianyang!

Suddenly, countless people watched secretly.

After all, although these three clans withdrew from the court, they were out-and-out heroes of the old Qin people, and no one could ignore their influence in the court and the public.Many people want to know the purpose of these three people entering Xianyang.

But no one knows.

All I know is that the First Emperor personally received them in the hall and talked for a long time. In the hall, the first emperor's hearty laughter came from time to time.No one knew what the three talked about with the first emperor, but after the three left the palace, they turned around and went to the emperor's grandson's mansion.

Visit the emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Ying in person!
The eldest grandson of the emperor greeted him out of the gate in person.

In the evening, he personally sent it out of the gate of the mansion.Everyone could see that the eldest grandson of the emperor and the head of the three Mengxibai clan had a very happy conversation and bid farewell, and the head of the third clan of Mengxibai also showed great respect to the eldest grandson of the emperor.

The seemingly ordinary behavior of the chief of the three Mengxibai clans, in the eyes of those interested in Xianyang City, was like a thunderbolt in the silent place.This is sending a clear signal to the outside world.

Support the eldest grandson of the emperor?
Or do you want to formally join the eldest son Fusu?
In the past, when the eldest son Fusu was in Xianyang, the Bai family of Mengxi did not move like a mountain. Now that the eldest son was expelled from the county, they sent such a strong signal instead.

Why on earth-

For a while, there was an undercurrent in Xianyang City, and many forces that had invested in the Eighteenth Prince Hu Hai had to re-examine their original decisions and how to deal with the chain reaction brought about by this kind of thing.

"Snapped--"

The Eighteenth Prince's Mansion.

Hu Hai, who just came back from the palace, got this heart-wrenching news, and suddenly, like a wild cat whose tail was stepped on, he became furious and broke a set of his beloved tea set on the spot.

"Dog, don't be a son of man!"

PS: I suddenly caught a bad cold, and my head was so heavy that I couldn't lift it up.That's all I have today, my eyelids are too heavy to open, and I'm going to rest.
