my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 209 Xiang Yu also has dignity

Zhao Ying knew that Emperor Shihuang was waiting for him, so he happily approached him, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and sat down opposite Emperor Shihuang.

Although he had already eaten at his aunt's place, to him, it didn't make much sense for him to eat two more bowls or less. On the contrary, Emperor Shihuang was used to having breakfast with him, so he simply stayed with Emperor Shihuang again. , casually ate a few more bowls.

Seeing that this guy only ate a few bowls, he put down the rice bowl with him, and the first emperor knew that this guy must have eaten with Concubine Zheng early in the morning, so he leaned back on his chair with some taste.

"Did your aunt entrust you with the matter of her nephew? How are you going to deal with it..."

Zhao Ying was not surprised by this.

After all, these princes and grandsons of the Shandong kingdoms are now the first emperor's spoils of war. It is impossible that no one is watching them. They have all been directly entrusted to Concubine Zheng.

"I told my aunt that after the imperial examination, he can directly take the talent selection exam at my side—"

Having said that, Zhao Ying looked at the First Emperor with a smile.

"This imperial examination is an unprecedented pattern. Even if some people are on the sidelines, I believe that there will still be many sages from the countryside who are willing to come to win a chance--Daddy, if you eat meat, I will follow you!" Have some soup..."

Seeing his grandson's tired face, Shi Huang gave him an annoyed look.

"It's good that you know the seriousness yourself - the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are not unusable, but how to use it needs to be carefully considered - you have to think about this kind of thing..."

Zhao Ying nodded seriously.

"I save—"

As he spoke, Zhao Ying leaned forward slightly, with a sly smile on his face.

"I was thinking, instead of letting the nobles from the six countries stay where they are and make trouble, why not take this opportunity to recruit all of them and send them to Hexi..."

First Emperor:……

"good!"

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and then couldn't help laughing.

The first emperor was really pleased, not only that his eldest grandson was becoming more and more mature, but also that his eldest grandson was not sticking to the rules.

This kind of method, if it is my eldest son who abides by the rules and even has some morals and cleanliness, it will be absolutely impossible.

But when he came to his eldest grandson, it was so smooth and natural, without any trace of fireworks.

On the one hand, this bastard shouted loudly about fairness and justice, but on the other hand he turned his head and did not hesitate to engage in behind-the-scenes operations. The degree of shamelessness is jaw-dropping.

He actually wanted to pass this imperial examination to give those remnants of the Six Kingdoms a drastic drudgery.

It can not only show the people in the world that the imperial court is determined to recruit talents and treat people equally, but also can openly divide the power of the remaining evils of the six countries.

It kills two birds with one stone.

The most shameless thing is that after the imperial examination, this bastard will hold another recruitment examination directly in the name of the General's Mansion——

Take advantage of the trend to bring those insightful people who have been squeezed out by the remnants of the six countries into their pockets.

In front of her face, digging at the base of her own wall, she even has the face to say that she eats meat and he drinks soup...

The first emperor was relieved and amused at the same time.

She couldn't help reaching out to give him a slap on the back of the head.

"Pay attention to the scale - the imperial examination system has a lot to do, and it can't ruin its reputation..."

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

"Father, don't worry, I have a measure..."

The First Emperor waved his hand lazily.

"It's good that you have a sense of proportion, anyway, you are the chief examiner..."

Zhao Ying: ...

In this imperial examination, from the preposition of the test questions, to the printing of the test papers, and even the process of marking the papers, strict confidentiality was implemented, and the transcripts were anonymously transcribed.

But this is for others, for Shi Huangdi and Zhao Ying, it is not too easy to do some small tricks in private.

With the different treatment of grandparents and grandchildren, during this period of time, the scholars who gathered in Xianyang and waited to take the imperial examination, especially those from poor families, were a little nervous.

There is no precedent!
Although the court gave a general direction, no one knew what the so-called imperial examination was all about until they saw the test paper.

In this exam, the imperial court mainly took care of Legalism, Confucianism, Mohism, and peasant studies, but there was no chance to completely block other schools of thought.

The imperial court also set up a talent department, which transcends the theories of the four schools. Anyone who is willing to learn, has outstanding talents, and has the ability to govern the country can take the exam.

In other words, if you are studying in the wrong direction, or if you think you are talented and have the ability to govern the country, you can also take this relatively general scholar subject.

Today is the last day to sign up for the imperial examination.

There are some hesitant and wait-and-see people who want to make the best choice.

Looking at the candidates preparing for the exam who walked by from time to time on the street, Guangwu Jun Li Zuoche glanced back at his eldest son Li Chang who was following him, and sighed softly.

"Go-"

Li Chang bowed out, quickly merged into the crowd, and walked towards the administrative office of the Xianyang Order.

Seeing his son leaving quickly, Li Zuoche's eyes were complicated.

Now, Handan County has become a place of right and wrong. Ever since Chen Yu and Zhang Er risked their lives to bring Zhao Wangxie back from Xianyang, the hearts of the entire Handan County have been in chaos.

He could see very clearly that Chen Yu and Zhang Er were not the ones who kept their own way.

Nowadays, they frequently come and go to the home of the former ministers of the Zhao Kingdom. They want to support the King of Zhao and join forces with the old Zhao Xungui to make troubles.

There was already an aggressive posture faintly.

But now that the first emperor is still there, the performance of the newly-emerged emperor's eldest grandson shocked him even more.

Break the four kingdoms in one day, and destroy the Xiongnu with three arrows!

Unlike other nobles, he came from a family of military strategists, and his grandfather Li Mu was a well-known general in Zhao Guo. He naturally knew what Zhao Ying's achievements meant.

Because even he, after repeated deduction countless times, could not deduce how the eldest grandson of the emperor achieved this impressive record.

No duplication!

In the Great Qin Dynasty, there was the first emperor and the eldest grandson of the emperor. He couldn't think of Chen Yu and Zhang Er having any chance of winning.

Then he simply took his eldest son, left Handan, and came all the way to Xianyang.

Along the way, I naturally saw the harsh and cruel side of Daqin, and also saw many people who harbored resentment towards Daqin.

But this situation has almost gradually disappeared since entering Guanzhong.

Especially after entering Xianyang, this situation has almost completely disappeared. Although the people walking on the street are still dressed in shabby clothes, everyone has a radiant face.

Especially when the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Ying, was mentioned, all eyes were wild.

Words are full of praise.

He is not Maotouqing, so he naturally knows that this cannot be faked——

Therefore, these days, he stayed in Xianyang to get to know the eldest grandson of the emperor carefully, and then, there was the scene just now.

He wanted to see what the so-called imperial examination system was all about.

If the imperial examination system is really as advertised, regardless of origin, regardless of region, only talents are selected, then when I go back this time, I have to persuade King Zhao.

No chance!

Li Zuoche's situation may not be an exception.

Many people are secretly measuring the impact of the imperial examination system.

……

Huiji County.

County Sheriff's Office.

Yin Tong's expression was a little ugly, and he was so absorbed in holding the teacup that he even forgot to pour tea for Xiang Liang.

"The spies who went out today have news. Even in the land of Yanzhao, some people are thinking about the imperial examination. It is said that many families have sent their children to Xianyang..."

Having said that, Yin Tong put down the teacup in his hand.

"People are distracted..."

Xiang Liang pondered for a while.

"The governor of the county should be safe and don't be impatient. A few days ago, he was in awe and guarded his heart. There was another prophecy in Hedong County. The people of the world have been suffering for a long time. As long as the first emperor dies, the world will inevitably be in chaos. How many people can be bought by the mere imperial examination system? ——A person of insight, how can he be tempted..."

Yin Tong's face softened slightly.

Right here, they heard hurried footsteps coming from outside, and the two couldn't help but look up, only to see a young steward from Xiang's mansion walking quickly.

Seeing the person, Xiang Liang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"But the young master sent back news..."

Hearing the words, the steward had a strange expression on his face, and he couldn't help hemming and hawing when he stood where he was, until Xiang Liang couldn't help but feel angry.

"what happened--"

The steward glanced at Yin Tong, the sheriff who had secretly pricked up his ears, and said in a low voice.

"It was the news from the steward of the caravan that the Shaodong family seemed to be the bearer of the emperor's eldest grandson—our people have seen him carry the weapon of the emperor's eldest grandson, going in and out with him... ..."

Xiang Liang couldn't help being dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his ears.

With his nephew's temperament, who can make him obey his orders?
Even if he asks for perfection, he can't do it!
His temper is too rebellious!

He couldn't help but secretly glanced at Yin Tong who was silent across the way, got up and said.

"Don't worry, the governor, we have already done such a big thing, naturally there is no reason to turn back, Yu'er's temperament is rebellious, not a temperament of being inferior to others, this move must have a deep meaning - maybe it is to probe the court first The truth is also unknown..."

Yin Tongqiang laughed.

"Brother Xiang is too worried. I have been with Brother Xiang for many years, and I have no doubts about Brother Xiang's character—"

Because of this matter, Xiang Liang had no intention of continuing to stay, so he simply found an excuse, took the housekeeper with him, and got up to leave.

as always.

Yin Tong, the county guard, sent Xiang Liang out of the gate in person, and bid farewell at the gate.

After returning to the county guard's mansion, Yin Tong immediately recruited his confidant in charge, and ordered with an ugly face.

"Order, tell our people to keep an eye on the Xiang family. If there is any trouble, come back and report it right away——I have written letters to my colleagues in Xianyang in the past few days to find out what's going on here..."

It would be a joke if it was sold by two remnants of the Xiang family.

Yin Tong felt that he had to keep a hand to avoid being sold out, and he was stupid enough to count the money for him. He had already thought about it, and if something went wrong, he would immediately preemptively take down Xiang Liang and ask for credit from the court!
However, what he didn't know was that his confidant in charge sold him as soon as he left the house—it turned out that after this period of time, his confidant in charge had already become someone else's cutie.

Xiang Liang: ...

He pondered for a long time, then smiled and rushed to the steward who came to report the news and cupped his hands.

"Brother Qian has worked hard - in the future, there will be a big reward!"

"Don't dare, it's what villains should do..."

Although the steward refused repeatedly, Xiang Liang waved his hand and rewarded the steward with two thousand coins.No one would despise a lot of money - but unlike ordinary people, Xiang Liang knows that these small sacrifices are not worth mentioning compared with the great things his uncle and nephew are pursuing!
……

Xiang Yu, who has been missed by Xiang Liang and Yin Tong, has gained a lot of insight in the past few days.

Every day he came to the palace with Zhao Ying's halberd on his shoulders. He was almost familiar with the guards on duty at the gate of the palace, and some even loved him.

"Your name is Xiang Yu, right..."

The eighteenth son Hu Hai tried his best to recall the attitude of his family Aunt who put equal emphasis on grace and power, and imitated the tone of his Aweng when he talked with others.

"I see that you have a high-spirited figure and are quite brave. You are really inferior to being a small halberd bearer in the hands of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson—how about coming to me, at least a hundred generals, how about..."

Looking at Hu Hai who was trying his best to recruit in front of him, Xiang Yu was silent for a while.

"Who are you..."

"Lieutenant of the Forbidden Army in the Palace—Eighteenth Prince Hu Hai is also..."

Hu Hai puffed out his chest and folded his belly a little complacently, waiting for the tall boy in front of him to accept his head and bowed. Who knows, Xiang Yu just simply said "oh" and refused to talk to him.

Originally, Hu Hai only saw that Xiang Yu was tall, and he followed Zhao Ying every day to fight the halberd. He wanted to scoop up someone casually, and disgusted his nephew who was not a son of man. He didn't mean to recruit him, but Xiang Yu's performance , Hu Hai was really annoyed.

It's just a halberd bearer, what's the big deal?
I'm going to find that dog and ask for it!
That bitch, wouldn't he not even give him some face——

As soon as he thought of it, Hu Hai didn't wait any longer. He got up straight and went to Zhangtai Palace. As a result - as soon as he entered the palace, he saw Zhao Ying and Shi Huangdi facing each other, helping to review the memorabilia, and at the same time chatting with each other. Gossip there.

His complexion couldn't help getting darker.

Aon, obviously I can do it too——

Zhao Ying was chatting with the First Emperor when he suddenly saw Hu Hai walking in with a bad face.Just as he was about to ask, he saw that Hu Hai had already spoken first.

"Nephew, your halberd-handling man who resists the halberd is quite attractive to me, why don't you give it to me—I'll ask you to find some more outstanding fighters later, just treat it as my exchange with you." how……"

Hu Hai felt that his uncle had already talked about this point, and his eldest nephew would not disagree.

Then, he saw Zhao Ying shook his head at him with a smile, and spoke earnestly.

"What did Uncle Shiba say? I heard that you have read Mencius's book in private. You should know the reason why the emperor regards the people as worthless and the people regard the emperor as an enemy. Although that Xiang Yu is just a halberd-handling man, You also have your own decency and dignity, as a boss, how can you treat it like a commodity and give it away..."
