my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 227
A reckless man named Zhui Gu broke into the top three!
Only after Xiang Yu, even Long Qie and Zhong Limei were squeezed out!Zhao Ying looked at the results of the previous rounds, and couldn't help crying and laughing. This guy actually tied with Xiang Yu in the stone lock, but he directly handed in a blank paper in the riding and archery, and then in today's duel, he directly relied on Xiang Yu. With brute force, he simply and roughly swept Long Qie and Zhongli Mo.

The main thing is recklessness!
This guy is tall, close to two meters. Standing there, he looks a line taller than Xiang Yu, and his figure is strong, like a door panel. Looking at it, he feels full of security.

Can't help but smile.

"Strong man! Would you like to stay by my side and be a spear bearer..."

Xiang Yu: ...

Zhui Gu looked at Zhao Ying who was half a head taller than him.

"You are His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, and nodded with a smile.

"Not bad!"

"I heard that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, is the most powerful general in the world, stronger than me. I will believe you only if you can catch my awl—er, I didn't bring my iron awl..."

As he spoke, this guy scratched the back of his head depressedly, with a naive look, Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing out loud.

Isn't that stupid-

"Come back with me, I can give you a chance..."

This guy immediately stood behind Zhao Ying happily, with such a snappy energy, he didn't look half stupid and dazed!

Only Xiang Yu looked at the sky speechlessly.

When walking with Zhao Ying, he and Zhui Gu were two people, one on the left and the other on the right. This feeling of running side by side made him feel very awkward.

……

The art of war exam on the second day.

Zhui Gu simply abstained directly, and as for the martial arts competition with Zhao Ying——since he saw Zhao Ying's martial arts arena and took over the halberd Zhao Ying used from Xiang Yu, he never mentioned it again.

People's weapons are more than 500 catties——

However, Xiang Yu had to go.

He used an excuse to avoid suspicion, and he didn't want to follow Zhao Ying with Zhuigu, and rode his own black horse to the examination room.

At present, although I am the first in the three items of stone lock, horseback riding and actual combat, but if I want to win the first prize, I have to fight the last battle well.

A big fool can appear in actual combat, so how can you know if there will be any moths in the art of war deduction.

In the military art deduction, the examiners are all mid-level officers drawn from the Xianyang garrison. They may not see how clever the art of war is, but it is easy to see who wins and who loses.

Of course, if there is a situation that is difficult to decide, there are three examiners Zhao Ying, Wei Liaozi and old general Wang Jian, who can guarantee that everyone will be convinced.

But the art of war, for ordinary people, is too much a test of the family background behind a person.

You are talented, but you don’t necessarily have a chance. Not everyone can have a grandfather who is an emperor, with countless resources, and no one’s eldest father and A Weng are both masters of war.

It's not that everyone has an uncle who carries them with him every day and reminds him every day.

Not everyone is lucky. To be a big soldier can be trained as an officer. The book of war is thrown over like no money, and the boss personally teaches the essence of it.

In this world, there are more ordinary people who are thoughtful or talented but have no chance.

Even if they are lucky enough to have some contact with the art of war, most of them are a little superficial, so although there are many people participating, there are very few who are really capable.

The reason why many people come to take part in the martial arts exam is just to gain a future with their martial arts skills.

Therefore, the entire art of war exam was actually carried out quite quickly.

In just one day, the results came out.

With his sharp and domineering military tactics, Xiang Yu defeated everyone neatly. He became the champion of the first imperial examination in the Qin Dynasty with the first place in the four items of stone lock, riding and archery, actual combat and art of war!

No.2, Jiang Shi, who was born in the Jiang family of Qi State, relied on his outstanding performance in military tactics to come from behind, defeating Long Qie and Zhong Limei, and became the second place.

Long Qie ranked third and won the third prize.

Zhong Limei from Donghai County, Gao Yuanwu from Yuyang County and Zhao Qin from Hedong County followed closely behind, winning fourth, fifth and sixth respectively!

That afternoon, the eldest grandson of the emperor Zhao Ying, Tai Weiliao and the old general Wang Jian personally dressed the six people in red.

With the support of Xuanjia's elite, he is authorized to walk the official road and parade across the street on horseback.

The main thing is to add glory!

They were all small details proposed by Zhao Ying based on the TV series of later generations, but the effect was immediate. Except for Xiang Yu who was in a complicated mood, most of the others were cheering and hugging, Xuan Jia cleared the way, and everyone was watching. He gradually lost himself in the encouragement of a generation of legendary veteran Wang Jian.

All of them raised their chests and looked up, smug.

The man is self-respectful, and the emperor is very gifted.

This sense of honor reached its climax after the first emperor personally summoned him, gave warm words of encouragement, and entertained him in the hall.

Even Xiang Yu's heart is higher than the sky, and he can't help but waver.

"It was not a fluke that Great Qin was able to take over the world. The way of buying people's hearts and the attitude towards talents alone are far from other countries..."

Looking at the scene in front of them, Xiang Yu, Jiang Shi and the others couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

Unlike others, Xiang Yu originally wanted to overthrow Tyranny, but was forced by the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Ying. In order to prevent his uncle from being directly wiped out by the court, he had to give in temporarily.

And Jiang Shizu was originally the monarch of Qi State. Although he was replaced by the Tian family later, as the most outstanding man of this generation of Jiang family, why didn't he want to restore his glory in his bones?
But unlike Xiang Yu, Emperor Shi Huang's destruction of Qi was nothing to them as hatred, and if you really want to talk about it in detail, there was even a hint of kindness.

Therefore, seeing the majesty of the First Emperor in the hall today, I feel a little mixed.

The dust settled on the martial arts side, but the results on the liberal arts side were not so fast.Because this liberal arts exam involves a total of six subjects including arithmetic, yin and yang, law, agriculture, medicine, and Mohism, covering almost all mainstream schools of thought today.

Therefore, this time, the imperial court organized doctors from various schools to conduct a unified review.

Due to the implementation of the anonymous copying system, the grades are as fair as possible. Of course, there is no absolute fairness in the world. Those with family backgrounds and elders can participate in the grades. You can still see a clue from the answers to the questions, but This is very rare, and generally, even with this kind of background, even if they rely on their own real talents and learning, they are enough to win the exam.

It doesn't affect fairness.

As for the scholar section, Zhao Ying, Li Si, and Meng Yi personally reviewed it, and after the rankings were ranked, they were submitted to the First Emperor for a decision.

None of the three went back, and worked overtime that night to review the test papers of the scholar department.

Zhao Ying graded all the test papers marked with excellent grades or good grades in a calm manner.Li Si and Meng Yi didn't find any special clues. Even if they disagreed occasionally, they still considered His Royal Highness's attitude and followed Zhao Ying to sign their names.

After all, there are not many truly mediocre people who dare to participate in the talent department.

Of course, people like Zhang Cang are special cases.

This guy is a Legalist apprentice, Han Feizi and Li Si's fellow apprentices. In the first round, the law exam, he crazily attacked various terms of Legalism, and turned a simple Legalist exam into a thesis defense.

It's a self-destruct.

In the second round, the exam of "Casting the Soul of the Army" quoted extensively from many sources, and from various angles, it enumerated the actions of the Great Qin policy that harmed the people and harmed the people.

The key is this guy, he has traveled around all these years, and he still has something to say...

Results, of course, are fragmented.

The imperial examination, the first hurdle, the position assessment, was directly sentenced to death.

But the strategy theory in the third round was really good.

It really has something to say, hits the current situation, has clear thinking, a clear framework, guidance in the general direction, and consideration of small details.

"Talents are so rare——"

Even Meng Yi, who has always been rigorous, couldn't help sighing again and again, and read it carefully several times.

"This person's talent is enough to manage a county..."

Zhao Ying couldn't help giving a thumbs up to Zhang Cang.No wonder this guy was able to become the prime minister later on. This ability to govern is really amazing.

Especially the grasp of some details, even from Zhao Ying's current eyes, he feels that he has benefited a lot.

This is already a mature official.

Listening to Zhao Ying and Meng Yi, they were full of praise for this test paper, they appreciated it very much, and awarded a special award in unison, but Li Si remained silent. , he can naturally tell who made this test paper at a glance!
Zhang Cang!

Fortunately, this guy killed himself and made a mess of the first two exams, otherwise he would be a formidable opponent no less than Han Fei.

The days of waiting for the release of the rankings are the most tormenting, but also the most leisurely.

Therefore, in the past few days, the restaurants and tea shops in Xianyang City are full, and many shops have also made a small fortune, but it is the glass shop that really caused a sensation!
For those scholars who like to travel around the world and broaden their knowledge, this glazed shop, which the right minister Feng Quji couldn't help but stop and watch, has an irresistible attraction.

With great fame, she completely entered everyone's field of vision and became a topic of conversation after dinner.

Even ordinary people have heard of such a shop.Following others, he talked vividly about "Liu Li" that he had never seen before.

And the mediocre shopkeeper "Yu Tian" has also begun to enter the field of vision of many people.

There is nothing new in Xianyang City.

It is actually not too difficult to find out the heel of an outsider like Yu Tian. Soon, many people knew that the reason why this man was able to gain a foothold in Xianyang was because he was next to the eldest son's mansion.

There are business contacts with the eldest son's mansion!
But no one knows how deep the connection is, but the definite news is that the head of the Yu family once visited the door in person to ask to see His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Then, this priceless glazed shop was opened!

Many people who have moved their minds have to carefully weigh the weight of this news.

time flies.

Under the auspices of Zhao Ying, Li Si, and Meng Yi, the entire grading process was carried out very quickly. On the third day after the end of the imperial examination, the imperial list was posted outside the Xianyang Academy.

The one with the largest number of admissions is the specialist examination.

Arithmetic, Onmyoji, Law, Agriculture, Medicine, and Mohism each admit a hundred students.

And the most eye-catching scholar department also admitted a full 72 people.

It can be said that everyone is happy!

The most eye-catching one, of course, is the scholar department with the highest gold content and the most promising future.The No. [-] Scholar was selected in Guanzhong without a doubt. He was an apprentice of the Legalists, Li Si's personal disciple. He was knowledgeable and adept at government orders. With an answer sheet, he did a remarkable job. Even Zhao Ying couldn't find any faults.

But the choice of second place was a bit unexpected.

It turned out to be a Taoist apprentice!

This Taoist disciple from Hedong County has a thin body and a clean face. He can be selected as the second place by Dian Zhao Ying and others, and he has also been recognized by the First Emperor. Naturally, there is no doubt about his talent.

But this ranking still can't help but make many people's hearts tremble.

The disciples of Taoism actually stood out in such a world-renowned examination!
No.3, Tanhua, is from an apprentice today. Speaking of which, he has a relationship with Zhao Ying, that is, the young man with a sword who has been with Chunyuyue for a long time.

This taciturn young man became a blockbuster as soon as he became an official. He represented Confucianism and won the crown of Tanhua.

The cloak is hung with colors, and the horse is paraded through the streets.

The glory of the martial arts candidates, they also followed it, and naturally it became a good talk that everyone in Xianyang City talked about.

Just when the Xinke scholars were enjoying their own glory, Zhang Cang finally waited for his own verdict.

"...Your Highness, I didn't cheat. Who am I, Zhang Cang? If I want to gain fame, why should I use such a small trick..."

Zhang Cang was very excited to finally have the opportunity to face His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson.

"This time, it must be Li Si's thief who framed me..."

Zhao Ying laughed a little guilty.

"Mr.'s words are wrong. I don't see and hear things, but I guess whether they exist or not. Is it okay?"

Zhang Cang was silent.

Indeed, he didn't have any evidence to prove that Li Si did what happened this time. If he insisted on it, it was indeed not the way to study and seek knowledge, nor was it done by a gentleman.

However, besides Li Si, who else could it be?

It must be that dog thief!

Seeing that the guy was finally quiet, Zhao Ying couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, and shook his head in embarrassment.

"The crux of the problem now is that the information has indeed been found out from you. The facts are mountainous. Even if I believe in Mr., I can't prove Mr.'s innocence..."

Zhang Cang: ...

"There must be something wrong with the soldier who searched me! Your Highness, go and investigate him, and you will definitely find out..."

Before Zhang Cang finished speaking, he couldn't continue.

It's not impossible to investigate, but the problem is that as long as people insist that it was found out from you, you can't argue with it. You can't say that the person who is suspected of cheating is safe and sound, but the person who found the evidence is directly taken down, and then tortured. Bar?

There is no such reason in this world!

Therefore, the person who came up with this conspiracy is not afraid of you to track it down at all.

Zhang Cang was silent.

Compared with the time when I escaped from Xianyang, the situation today is more passive. It is not a question of whether I can escape, but this kind of thing. Once the conclusion is made, I will bear the notoriety of cheating in the imperial examination.

See the time is right.

Only then did Zhao Ying speak sincerely.

"The imperial examination is a grand ceremony for the imperial court to use talents, and the whole world is watching. This happened, of course, it was not Mr. Zhang's wish, nor the imperial court's wish—"

Hearing the words, Zhang Cang couldn't help but feel moved, knowing that the eldest grandson of the emperor might have a follow-up.

Sure enough, he listened to Zhao Ying.

"I have carefully read the answer sheet made by Mr., and I really appreciate his talent. I can't bear to be stigmatized by such a talent as Mr. for nothing. If Mr. is willing to enter my residence, I am willing to personally ask His Majesty for orders. , to eliminate this matter for Mister..."

Zhang Cang hesitated.

Zhao Ying sighed with emotion.

"A gentleman does something and doesn't do something. Even if Mr. Zhang doesn't think about himself, doesn't he think about his best friends?"

Zhang Cang: ...

Thinking of being implicated by himself, even in this embarrassing situation, he still has not complained to himself, and is still consoling his good friend Ji Bochang, Zhang Cang suddenly made up his mind, stood up, and pointed at Zhao Yingshen. Give a gift.

"Cang is willing to follow His Highness's tail and do the same for His Highness!"

Zhao Ying was overjoyed, and stepped forward to help Zhang Cang up with his own hands.

"It's very lucky to have Mr. Zhang's help!"

Zhang Cang was taken down, and the remaining few small fish and shrimps were naturally nothing to worry about. In the face of life and death, honor and disgrace, everyone wisely chose to recruit the emperor's eldest grandson, who is kind-hearted, benevolent and loving, and courteous and virtuous. .

Zhao Ying didn't hesitate, and with a wave of his hand, he threw them all to Hexi.

The imperial examination fraud case was calm, and outsiders didn't know about it.

Li Si also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if there was a quarrel, Zhang Cang and the others would naturally end badly, but Li Si's face was also not good-looking, and he didn't know how much stigma would be accrued to him by then.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the eyes of His Highness the Emperor's Grandson and Meng Yi at that time is enough to explain everything.

Gan!
Daqin's first imperial examination, the dust settled, was successfully completed.

Those who passed the exam naturally had to stay in Xianyang, waiting for the arrangement of the imperial court. Those who failed the exam also saw hope from this exam. Except for a very few who were preparing to return home, most of them chose to stay in Xianyang. Xianyang, preparing for the imperial examination next year.

Or take part in the recruitment quiz that will be organized by His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson in the near future.

It would be a beautiful thing if he could become a guest in the residence of His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson.Just when countless people were paying attention to the news from the Emperor's eldest grandson's mansion.

A more interesting thing happened.

The shopkeeper of the Liuli Shop who has been secretly followed by countless people, Yu Tian, ​​the head of the Yu family from Kuaiji County, brought his beautiful daughter Yu Ji, and the treasure of Liuli that has attracted countless people's attention-Ma Tafeiyan, together. Dedicated to the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Ying!

It is said that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, is very satisfied.

The next day, the rare horse riding on a flying swallow was presented to His Majesty the First Emperor.

PS: Tomorrow is the college entrance examination. The author hereby wishes all readers and friends who take the college entrance examination this year a successful start, success in no time, and an ideal result. I also wish friends who have exams at home that they can get what they want and return with a full load!
