my grandfather was qin shi huang

Before leaving the house, Yong Chi repeatedly told his followers to take good care of the royal tomb, and then he got up and rushed to the examination room. For this scientific examination, the civil examination was held at Afang Academy, and the military examination was held at the Military Academy. .

Students taking the exam can go there on their own, or they can go to the reception facilities set up by the court at various places in Xianyang. There are carriages specially set up by the court and solemn-looking black armor cavalry to escort the candidates to the exam.

This is a benefit that the imperial court only has this year. These pickup points are located a few miles apart. No matter where the candidates live, as long as they can't go out, they can stand outside and wave, and a carriage will come to pick them up. The main thing is that they are considerate and thoughtful. .

According to Zhao Ying, what scholars want is dignity!

We must show our greatest sincerity and let the world see our respect for talents.

"Brother Yong, you are going to take the exam. I wish you success in one fell swoop——"

The neighbors all knew that two young people who came from out of town to take the imperial examination lived in this courtyard. Therefore, today, when they saw Yong Chi walking out of the courtyard carrying a package, some people smiled and stood at the door of their house to give Yong Chi a gift. Teeth say hello.

Yong Chi also thanked him very politely.

"Thank you, thank you very much, I would like to lend you your good words..."

The old man glanced behind Yong Chi subconsciously, but did not find Wang Ling.

"Brother Wang who is with you, is he still not well?"

Wang Ling was very seriously ill this time, and doctors frequently came and went in the courtyard. From time to time, people came to visit the Marquis of Suiyuan's house. Everyone in the neighborhood knew that the rather delicate and thin young man was seriously ill. fall down.

Therefore, when they saw that Wang Ling did not come out with Yong Chi, they all asked with concern.

"Thanks to the care of all the elders, I'm feeling better now, but I still can't get out of bed. I'm afraid I'll miss the imperial examination..."

Hearing Yong Chi's answer, these neighbors couldn't help but sigh, feeling sorry for the young man. Until Yong Chi's figure had walked out of the alley, he was still sighing there.

I feel that life is impermanent and God’s will plays tricks on people.

Yong Chi walked out of the alley and stood at the entrance of the alley. After looking around for a while, a carriage came slowly and stopped steadily in front of him.

"Sir, are you going to take the imperial examination?"

Yong Chi showed his photo sticker and his pass with the imperial seal in a very cooperative manner.

The driver immediately jumped down from the shaft and bowed respectfully.

"Sir, please take a step forward——"

After saying that, he turned around and lifted up the curtain of the carriage, asking Yong Chi to wait for the carriage.

When the carriages gathered at the reception point set up by the court on the street, several candidates who were preparing to take the imperial examination had gathered at the reception point. There was a man who looked like a leader. He took the information form in his hand and compared it carefully. Yong Chi and others bowed their hands in a polite manner.

"There are a total of 17 candidates in this street. Except for one who cannot take the exam due to illness, the rest have all arrived. Please take the exam and get a step up. The four of you will leave and go to the examination room... …”

All the carriages are the same. On the left and right sides, there is a flag with gold lines. On the left, the Daqin Imperial Examination, and on the right, the gold list.

It is full of ceremony and full of joy just looking at it.

After these candidates boarded their carriages, the leader-like man gave an order, and a group of black-armored cavalry wearing strong weapons and riding horses took the lead to clear the way. Several carriages behind them slowly started to follow the team. Go straight to Afang Academy.

Along the way, everyone retreated wherever they went. Even those carriages that were obviously the homes of officials and powerful people, after seeing this team, gave way and stopped on the side of the road, asking these carriages and horses to go first.

This unexpected courtesy made these candidates who came to participate in the imperial examination involuntarily feel excited. They subconsciously straightened their backs and looked at them with an extra look!
Looking at the unconscious changes in the expressions on the faces of the other three candidates inside the carriage, Yong Chi couldn't help but flash his eyes.

Da Qin really has a capable person!

What is the significance of this courtesy to these candidates who come to take the imperial examination?

This imperial examination has attracted the attention of the whole world, and everything today will inevitably become a popular story in the world and be talked about by everyone. And Da Qin's extraordinary courtesy to talents will surely spread throughout the world along with those who are lucky enough to witness it!
"This time, the imperial court wants to use this opportunity to win over the hearts of scholars from all over the world - I don't know who made this plan. It is extremely clever..."

How much money can a few flags and carriages cost?

However, it is unknown how far-reaching its impact will be.

As he got closer and closer to the examination room, Yong Chi noticed that convoys were beginning to gather, one after another, in silence.

The entrance inspection is extremely strict. Although the captain guarding the entrance is extremely polite, he is also meticulous in his work. Several channels are opened at the same time to verify the candidates' information.

Every move shows the importance the court attaches to this exam.

No one will be offended.

Yong Chi followed the surging flow of people and slowly entered Afang Academy.

Although he had looked at this world-famous academy from a distance more than once, it was not until this moment that he realized how majestic the palace's architecture was.

After getting the permission of the First Emperor to turn the entire Epang Palace into a school, Zhao Ying had people remove the magnificent, extravagant and exquisite decorations of Epang Palace. Therefore, at this moment, this school palace is majestic, majestic, intriguing, exquisite and magnificent. , and has a simple and elegant style.

This made Yong Chi, who had heard about all the grand events in Jixia Academy in the past, couldn't help but be a little dizzy.

Great Qin actually took out such a palace and used it as a school!
His heart suddenly calmed down completely.

All hesitations and worries disappeared.

How could a dynasty that valued talents so much die in its second generation?

When he thought of these prophecies that "the First Emperor died and the earth was divided", he couldn't help but shake his head slightly. After gathering his thoughts, Yong Chi quickly found his location with the examination room distribution map he received from the entrance.

The examiner who invigilated the exam was solemn but not strict.

As the bell rang for the start of the imperial examination, an examiner, escorted by a team of imperial guards, entered the examination room with a solemn expression, escorting the test paper sealed in a wooden box.

The wooden box was opened, revealing test papers sealed in letters.

Yong Chi took it, used the paper scissors that had been prepared in the examination room, carefully opened the air outlet, and after unfolding the test paper, he saw the test paper with neat and uniform handwriting.

This time, it was still the same as last year, it was a law exam.

When recruiting officials, how could the imperial court only take classics and articles? Therefore, the first test in the imperial examination of the Qin Dynasty was Legalism!

Those who do not understand the laws of Daqin will not be allowed to take it!

No matter which family you are an apprentice from, Da Qin Law must be within the scope of thorough reading and study.

For these, those who came to take the imperial examination this year were already prepared. Therefore, after seeing the test papers, they all picked up the questions that had been prepared on the examination table and sat down at their desks to answer the questions. The second game is still "Forging the Soul of the Army".

Although in this exam, even those who get full marks may not necessarily have their hearts set on the Qin Dynasty, it can urge everyone in the world who want to study to become officials to seriously study all the policies of the Qin Dynasty and understand the intentions of the imperial court and the policies of the First Emperor. .

Sometimes the estrangement is due to prejudice and hatred, but sometimes the estrangement is due to misunderstanding.

Read and understand.

Even if some people scoff at this because of their different positions, after reading these policies carefully, they sometimes can't help but think about the intentions of these measures.

This is a well-known conspiracy.

Even those who are not prepared to take part in the imperial examination sometimes cannot help but read with a critical eye the "Forging the Soul of the Army" which was drafted and revised by the Emperor Taisun himself.

After two exams, it was almost noon.

What Yong Chi never expected was that the court actually prepared lunch for everyone.

Although there are not many dishes, only one meat, one vegetarian and one soup, and they are served in a big pot, the aroma is so fragrant that just by smelling it, you can't help but move your fingers.

Meals are delivered to the entrance of the examination room and are left to the candidates to pick up.

There are some options, even if Yongchi has already prepared dry food for himself, he is too lazy to nibble on the cold and hard dry food in his package. Everyone had a wonderful lunch specially prepared by the court.

If you have a break, you can take a break in the examination room. If you don’t need a rest, you can take this opportunity to go out for a walk and visit the world-famous Afang Academy.

Yong Chi is one of them.

He walked with his hands behind his back, and the look in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

His family's academic origins can be seen naturally. This palace was definitely not built for the purpose of establishing a school palace at the beginning. There is a sense of luxury and restraint in everything.

But now, it has been transformed into a magnificent academic palace.

"I'm afraid this will be a holy place for learning that is no less impressive than the Jixia Academy in the past..."

Just when Yong Chi was thinking a lot, he suddenly heard someone beside him sighing with emotion. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man with narrow eyebrows and a slender figure, shaking his head in admiration.

As if sensing Yong Chi's gaze, the man turned his head and greeted Yong Chi very familiarly.

"Is this brother also here to take part in the imperial examination?"

Without waiting for Yong Chi to answer, he already started introducing himself.

"I'm in Xia Qi County, Tian Jing. I've met Xiongtai. I don't know what your surname is. Meeting each other is fate. It seems that Xiangtai and I have a close relationship..."

Yong Chi was a little uncomfortable with this man's enthusiasm, but out of his own self-cultivation, he still politely raised his hand to the other person.

"Excuse me, my surname is Yong..."

After saying that, I wanted to leave.

However, before he could walk away, the middle-aged man with narrow eyebrows had already approached him in a familiar manner.

"Brother, where are we going? Why don't we come together so that we can have someone to talk to? I was just walking around alone, and it was a bit boring..."

Yong Chi:……

In order to seek peace and quiet, he deliberately found a quite secluded place. Unexpectedly, he bumped into a talkative person head-on. It was really unexpected.

But out of upbringing, he couldn't refuse too harshly, so he could only nod his head, but he was already ready to go back. Rather than accompany this familiar chatterbox, he might as well go back to the examination room and lie down for a while. , recharge your batteries.

There is no more appreciation for Afang Academy in my heart.

"Brother Yong, look what it is, it's so strange!"

While he was walking absentmindedly, he suddenly heard Tian Jing, whom he had just met next to him, let out a cry of surprise. He subconsciously turned his head to look, only to find that the brother Tian Jing who had been laughing and joking all the way still had a look on his face. There was a trace of solemnity that I had never seen before.

He couldn't help but asked subconsciously.

"Brother Tian, ​​what's wrong?"

When Tian Jing saw him asking, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, pointed to a hillside not far to the left, and asked with a very serious expression.

"Brother Yong, look at the fruit trees over there, how different they are from the fruit trees we usually see!"

Yong Chi is a bit inexplicable——

In the past, although he also ate fruits, he only ate fruits. He could tell the difference between pears and pears. As for other things, he couldn't tell the difference.

"That - it seems to be a pear tree?"

Seeing his surprise, Yong Chi's tone became a little uncertain.

Who would have known that as soon as he finished speaking, Tian Jing beside him had already shaken his head solemnly.

"Yes and no! There is something strange in this orchard..."

Seeing Yong Chi looking over with confusion, Qijun Tian Jing, who was joking all the way and looking a bit funny, said with a serious expression.

"To be honest, I have done a little research on agriculture because of my family education, but I have never seen such a strange fruit tree. It looks like a pear tree, but if you look closely, it looks like a tree. It’s really strange…”

After this dear man finished speaking, Yong Chi finally realized. No wonder this dear man looked like he was wearing long robes and brocade clothes, but every move he made, he looked a bit like an old farmer in the mountains. He looked a bit funny, but he turned out to be a child of a farmer!
He couldn't help but feel a little in awe.

Each school has its own strengths, and some schools even hope to attack each other, but almost all schools respect agriculture, because they are a group of very pure people who squat in the fields every day. In the field, they study how to increase crop yields and do not participate in those messy academic disputes at all.

Even the peasant boy found it strange, and he couldn't help but become curious.

Seeing that the hillside was not far from here, I immediately agreed readily.

The guards in the academy had already received orders from the imperial court, and as long as these students did not misbehave, they were allowed to come and visit. Therefore, when they saw the two of them running towards the hillside behind, they did not stop them, but they were very nervous. It was a kind reminder.

"Two gentlemen, you'd better be careful. Don't trample the crops on both sides, and don't climb or break the fruit trees over there. Those are the lifeblood of Mr. Tian. Last time, there was a student from the academy who refused to listen to dissuasion. , picked a few fruits at random, and was chased over several hills by Mr. Tian with a sword..." (End of Chapter)
