The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 978

Originally, Fazheng had already selected a candidate, only one gunpowder doctor was missing.

In the end, Meng Yi generously recommended a person from the Ministry of Industry, but he did not expect that when the identity of this person was investigated, it was found out that this person was actually a spy of Zhao Guo. The emperor was furious and called Meng Yi to come over. Haosheng reprimanded him a lot.

Meng Tian said that he would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and absolutely investigate all the personnel related to this person.

With the preparation that he would rather kill by mistake than let it go, Meng Yi arrested dozens of people and sent them to prison. After torture, he arrested more than ten people.

This incident almost involved the death of more than a hundred people and sent them to prison for interrogation.

But what is surprising is that even the spray words of these professions did not say anything that should not be said about this matter. At that time, someone wrote a letter, reprimanding Meng Yi for being too kind. .

The emperor was very pleased about this, knowing that these people were talking about what they were talking about, and the war of words did not stop in the court at ordinary times, but there was still a unified concept on such a big matter of right and wrong!
Fusu asked Zhou Shi to write down all the officials who had written to ask for the appointment of cruel officials to interrogate their fellow party members.

After hearing about this incident, many speech officials felt that they were going to be officials in Tucheng beyond the Great Wall.

Because there were those people who wrote letters to the emperor before and were demoted to be officials in Tucheng on the grassland as the first examples, so when they went to court the next day, they had already ordered their families to pack their bags, bid farewell to relatives and friends, and prepare to go to the grassland. up.

But nothing happened. When the officials arrived at the court, they were waiting for the emperor's decree to demote them, but something incredible happened to all of them.

The imperial decree has come, but it is a reward!
The emperor, as appropriate, directly promoted a few people who not only said to appoint cruel officials, but also proposed specific methods!
This is also the first time that the emperor directly issued an edict to promote the speech officer without going through the appointment and dismissal of the officials, and immediately made this group of speech officers who complained to their colleagues every day, as if beaten with chicken blood , as if seeing the peak of their lives coming soon, a new round of crazy spraying started!
Fusu took a look, most of them were irrelevant things, Ye didn't pay much attention to them, as the emperor, he should do something to mobilize the enthusiasm of these speech officials, right?
He was already hated by the other six officials. As the emperor, he should always "stimulate" them and maintain his "combat power".

The memorial that the emperor is opening now happens to be played by Du Fu, who is called Wan Xiliang.

After Fusu saw it, he immediately regained his energy, because he faintly felt that this Wan Xiliang should be a very famous figure in history.

But I saw Du Fu said in the memorial that Wan Xiliang failed the ranking five times in a row, but this person is very reliable, so Du Fu recommended this person in the book.

This person's background is very simple, unlike other imperial examination candidates, who are basically dragged by their families, and the court in that specific area also consumes a lot of supplies, except for this man named Wan Xiliang. A younger sister, in terms of arranging accommodation and living, is definitely easier than those who rely on the imperial examination.

To put it bluntly, it means that this person has a simple background and a simple placement, and Du Fu has known this person for many years, and even what kind of temperament this person is.

Of course, Du Fu did not hide this person and his identity.

Fusu looked at it and was very satisfied, so he called Du Fu to ask.

"I have already read your memorial, where is this person now? I want to meet in person!"

Hearing the emperor's words, Du Fu didn't dare to hide anything, and directly told the matter with Wan Xiliang before, and told the emperor that Wan Xiliang is now outside the palace.

Fusu also didn't think that Du Fu's doing this was a blank check for Wan Xiliang.

"Very good." Fu Su nodded, "Go and summon Wan Xiliang!"

Zhou Shi responded, led a few young eunuchs and ran out quickly, and brought Wan Xiliang in after a while.

Wan Xiliang is a celibate, so he naturally knows how to behave the royal courtesies.

Fu Su saw it, let Wan Xiliang kneel in the hall, nodded and said: "Since Du Zimei recommended you to be born as a gunpowder doctor, then I also believe in your identity. Did Du Zimei tell you everything that should be said?"

Wan Xiliang prostrated himself on the ground and said, "Lord Du has already told Xiaomin that Xiaomin knows that the secrecy of this matter is very important, and he will definitely not disappoint the trust of His Majesty the Emperor."

"This is the most important thing. I could have selected one of the six officials to take up this responsibility, but have you ever thought about why I still chose you when you failed the imperial examination five times in a row!?"

This time, Wan Xiliang was really at a loss for words. According to the classification of talents, he himself was a failure, and he was a very failure. For the official side.

He was born with only himself, and he failed the exam all the time. If Du Shenyan hadn't been supporting him all the time, he might not have been able to survive long ago.

Is there anything more traumatic than failing all five imperial examinations?
"Little people don't know!"

Wan Xiliang can be regarded as a bit of a smart person, and he didn't deliberately find any far-fetched reasons.

The emperor stood up from the dragon chair and said with a smile: "The reason is very simple. For the position of gunpowder doctor, I need someone who is absolutely obedient! He is absolutely obedient. As for how talented and accomplished, I don't care at all. All he cares about is the safety of gunpowder!
As long as you can keep the gunpowder safe and all the secret recipes are not leaked out, even if you are only a doctor all your life, your life will definitely not be much worse than that of a third-rank official in the imperial court! "

Hearing this, even Du Fu looked at Wan Xiliang very enviously. He was only a sixth-rank official when he left. He didn't expect the emperor to say such words directly to Wan Xiliang.

"Xiao Min is flattered! I don't know what to say, but I just know that I will be loyal to my duty and swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Wan Xiliang said excitedly, "Third-rank official... something that I have never thought about. This has almost surpassed my mentor. Even his mentor is just a seventh-rank official. If it is not for the current imperial examination Maybe it's just a small official who no one cares about.

"Remember, there is never a shortage of talents in the whole world. What I need are obedient people. As for whether they are talented or not, this is the next day's consideration."

After all, the emperor nodded and said: "Zhou Wen, you take Wan Xiliang to register and make a register. For the time being, you will be given 300 taels of silver, and two servants, a man and a woman, as followers, and go through the procedures that should be followed."
